On the official road from Datong Mansion to Daizhou Mansion, there is a tea shed, where guests on the official road can rest and drink water.This afternoon, the tea shed ushered in a team of officials.

The waiter in the tea shed hurriedly went up to invite him to sit down and pour tea, and greeted him: "The officials are here, please sit down quickly. What do you want?"

Xu Hui wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "First, some pots of herbal tea. What food do you have in the store?"

The shop assistant quickly poured tea for everyone, and replied: "The officer asked, the sliced ​​noodles in our shop are unique, the customers who run the business have eaten them, and they will come here to eat them next time. "

"Then order ten bowls of sliced ​​noodles first, and then see what you can take away in your store after you finish eating."

"Hey, okay, sir, please wait a moment." The waiter turned around and shouted into the tea shed: "Ten bowls of knife-sliced ​​noodles."

After shouting, the waiter turned around and refilled the guests on the table.

Ye Yichen saw that the little one was quite clever in pouring tea and water, so he asked, "Little brother, how far is it from Taihang Mountain?"

The waiter in the shop looked up at Ye Yichen, and felt that this little brother was exquisite and good-looking, so he was happy to say more: "Little brother, according to your horseback riding pace, it will take two hours to reach the foot of Taihang Mountain.

Everyone here has filled up the water and brought enough dry food. From here to the Taihang Mountains, there is no other place to rest.

The Taihang Mountain range is long, and it takes a long time to walk to the foot of the Taihang Mountain before entering the county.Little brother, if you leave at this time, are you going to sleep in the open at night? "

The policeman Peng Yue said: "Sleeping in the open, what are you afraid of? After walking for two days, hurry up and hurry up, but we have reached the foot of Taihang Mountain."

The shop waiter's face changed slightly when he heard that, he turned around and left after filling the tea, without saying a word.

His face changed, and someone naturally noticed it.

When the waiter from the shop came back with a knife to slice the noodles, the leader stopped him and said in a low voice, "Brother, you just had a bad face when you heard that we were going to sleep in the open, but is there anything wrong?"

The shop waiter looked around and saw that several people on the table were eating noodles with their heads down, so he leaned into Ye Yichen's ear and whispered, "I heard that Taihang Mountain is haunted now."

"Haunted?" Ye Yichen deliberately raised his voice, and sure enough, when he called out, apart from Wen Zihao, Xu Hui, Peng Yue and others who had already raised their ears, even the police officers at the next table all looked at him.

The waiter at the shop didn't want to attract the attention of others, but the leader showed an innocent and surprised expression, so he could only continue to say: "I heard from the past guests that recently, caravans sleeping at the foot of Taihang Mountain will hear crying.

But the voice was so distant and near that I couldn't find the source at all.Some daring people in some caravans went to look for them, but they were found dead in the mountain forest the next morning. They died so badly that their bodies were bitten by wild beasts and their clothes were torn to pieces. No one dared to go into the mountains to find it anymore. "

Everyone at the table exchanged glances, Ye Yichen asked again: "Then why didn't the caravan report to the officials? This is a dead man!"

The shop clerk showed a embarrassed look, looked around at the people wearing yamen uniforms, hesitated for a long time before whispering: "This little brother is not from the local area, so he doesn't know the situation here.

The Taihang Mountain on our side is exactly at the junction of Wuling County and Yunxing County, and it is originally a three-way zone.In the past two years, a group of bandits took over the mountain and became king, and the government did not intervene, let alone the theory of ghosts, so no one reported it to the officials. "

"Bandit?" Wen Zihao's eyes swept towards Xu Hui, Peng Yue and the others beside him. The two policemen nodded slightly, with a slightly embarrassed look on their faces. It seemed that the bandit was really involved.

Xiao Er didn't pay attention to Wen Zihao's eyes, and continued to say: "This group of bandits have been here for almost two years, and I haven't heard of anyone bullying men and women, and I haven't heard of any caravan being arrested. Jie, naturally no one cares too much.

The common people lived their own lives, and the government said they were going to come and kill them, but once they came up the mountain and didn't take it down, that's fine. "

"The bandit didn't do anything bad?" Ye Yichen interjected.

"I've never heard of this, and I'm a little surprised. You said that this bandit neither steals nor robs. The mountain is high and the road is dangerous. What are you trying to do?" Xiao Er added water to everyone's tea bowls and walked to the place. The kitchen is gone.

A few people remained calm and ate noodles in silence. After the horses had rested and fed, Xu Hui bought some cooked food such as steamed buns and beef in sauce, and the group continued on their way.

After leaving the tea shed, Wen Zihao asked about the bandits: "Master Xu, what happened to the bandits in the Taihang Mountains?"

Xu Hui looked ashamed and replied: "There are indeed bandits on Taihang Mountain.

When those bandits went to the Taihang Mountains, in fact, our county does not know.They don't usually cause trouble, and they haven't seen any activities of stealing money or people.It's just that once one of them got into a dispute with a few local ruffians in the county, and the two sides fought, and the man turned around and left a few words, "I'm from the Taihang Mountain Bandit Village. If you have anything to do, come to me directly." That's when we knew about Taihang Mountain. There is a cottage.

But usually these bandits don't rob or do any bad things, just like ordinary people, who do you think will come to trouble them?To be honest, when I saw Taihang Mountain written on the note the day before yesterday, I never thought of such a person coming. "

Wen Zihao nodded, and said: "Since the people are not disturbed, there is really no need for the government to pay too much attention. Maybe it's just some reckless men who used their emotions to create a fake village.

But the fact that there are ghosts under Taihang Mountain is a bit weird. "

Xu Hui nodded and said: "Our county government has not received any reports of people dying in Taihang Mountain, nor have we heard any reports of ghosts.

But what the shop waiter just said was so convincing that it didn't seem like he was lying. "

Wen Zihao said: "Master Xu, why don't we stay at the foot of the mountain tonight and go deeper into the forest."

Peng Yue said: "Hero Wen is going to visit at night?"

Wen Zihao nodded and said: "The theory of hauntings only came up recently, I don't know if it has any connection with the disappearance case.

Besides, apart from the clue of Taihang Mountain, we only have one date left.But before the time is up, it means that there is no such clue.

So I don't want to let go of any suspicious things on Taihang Mountain. "

Xu Hui said: "Hero Wen is right. We really only have this clue to investigate. Then according to what you said, we will live in the forest of Taihang Mountain at night."

When the group arrived at the foot of Taihang Mountain, it was already dark.By the light of the torches, the arresters first looked around: a straight official road ran from south to north, and walked along the official road for a while, except for the dark woods, there were jagged rocks around.There is nothing special about it.

Xu Hui mobilized a few policemen to fasten the horses, and a group of people raised torches and walked along some trees and trees, picking up some branches to light the fire. They planned to spend the night in the woods tonight.

Wen Zihao pulled Ye Yichen and walked in the middle of the team. He turned his head and asked, "Is Xiaobai tired? This mountain road has roots and rocks and it's not easy to walk. Do you want senior brother to carry you?"

After working hard on the pommel horse for two days, and sleeping in the open air, the leader is of course very tired.But I don't know what will happen tonight. Wen Zihao is the strongest in martial arts in the whole team, so keeping him physically strong should also be considered.

What's more, Master Teacher has practiced kung fu every day during this period of time, and he is still running around outside. His body is already much stronger than when he was in Tianyi Gate. He replied: "I will walk by myself."

Wen Zihao was helpless, he had never seen Xiaobai so stubborn before, and now Xiaobai did not rely on him for many things.

Xu Hui, who was walking in front, found a sheltered place with raised rocks, and decided to rest a group of people here.

Everyone piled up the dead branches and lit two fires. It was cold in the mountains at night, even if Xu Hui found a shelter from the wind, the temperature was still low.

It was too hasty to come out this time, no one prepared clothes for shelter from the cold, and the night got colder and colder.People with deep skills are still exercising their internal energy to drive away the cold, while those with weak skills can only warm themselves to the fire to get closer to themselves.

Wen Zihao baked the steamed buns with fire, put them in Ye Yichen's palm, and said, "Cover your hands first before eating, I told you not to follow me, but you still want to follow me, now you know it's cold. If you freeze again, you'll get sick , I won’t buy you candy when you take the medicine this time!”

The leader is speechless, how much resentment do the senior brothers of Tianyimen have towards Yuanchen Xiaobai taking medicine?

Seeing that Ye Yichen didn't speak, Wen Zihao poked him on the forehead, helped him wrap his clothes tightly, and said, "You!"

Ye Yichen was nibbling steamed buns, when he saw Jin Wu approach him with his head protruding, sat down next to him, and said, "Brother Xiaobai, I can't sleep, can I chat with you?"

The leader looked up and found that his eyes were flustered, looking left and right from time to time, his face was a little red, and he looked a little nervous.The leader guessed that he was afraid in his heart, so he didn't expose him, and said: "You say what you say, I will listen."

Jin Wu gave him a grateful look, then wrapped his clothes tightly, crossed his hands under his armpits to keep warm, and began to ramble: "The night in the forest is really too cold, brother Xiaobai, do you know that? If it wasn't for this trip to investigate the disappearance case, I would have fallen asleep in the wing of the yamen.

There are four people living in the same room with me, besides me, there is one named Wang Wei, one named Zhu Tiancheng, and one named Xiaoliuzi.

That big brother Zhu Tiancheng snored at night, which was shocking. At the beginning, I slept in the same room with him, and I couldn’t sleep all night. After a long time, I listened and listened. got used to.Now even if his snoring is loud, I can sleep well. Sometimes I go home at night and live in a room by myself. I can’t sleep without his snoring. Do you think people are weird? ?

And the little six in our house is also very interesting, you don't know the little six, don't look at it, he's only two years older than me, that guy is a money addict.

You can ask him for anything, and if you need help with something, that's absolutely fine.There is only one thing that is not acceptable, and that is to borrow money from him.

Except for the policeman's official uniform, all his clothes are patched.He usually eats in the yamen, and I have never seen him go out and spend money on a meal, spending an extra copper coin.

You don't know when I was with him, if the pay was paid, he'd count it three times every morning and three times every evening, and hide the money the rest of the time.

The funniest thing is that I know where he hides, even Brother Wang Wei and Brother Zhu in the room also know.

And brother Wang Wei in our room..."

The leader didn't answer, and let him talk non-stop, knowing that the reason he kept talking was to relieve the tension.

Moreover, Ye Yichen has been on the road for the past two days, and he is already too sleepy.He found a comfortable position in Wen Zihao's arms, felt Wen Zihao's hand patting his back gently, and gradually fell asleep amidst Jin Wu's nagging.

Suddenly, Ye Yichen felt the body behind him tense up, and then he heard Wen Zihao's deep voice: "Shh! Don't talk!"

Jin Wu immediately stopped talking, and the leader also woke up with a jolt.

In the quiet night, apart from the sound of crackling and burning wood, there was a cry from afar.The voice was obviously low and depressing, and it was blown to the ears by the mountain wind, but it couldn't be heard clearly.
