Afraid

Xu Shiyan was choked a little bit, stared, and said: "I don't believe it."

Shang Qingyun ignored him.Concentrate on the ground, follow the trajectory of the black and white bug army, and move forward.The road ahead is getting narrower and narrower, and it's still a downward slope. Shang Qingyun was already leaning forward, and the gravel on the ground was slippery. A hand suddenly reached out from behind and hooked his waist, and then he fell on a person, and then he was tumbling around——

Shang Qingyun was hugged by someone and rolled down the hillside.

Dust was everywhere, and there was a muffled hum.

When everything finally returned to calm, the burden on Shang Qingyun disappeared.When he sat up, he saw Xu Shiyan covering his forehead while digging out his pocket with one hand, wondering if his arm was also injured, it seemed quite laborious.

No matter how unpleasant Xu Shiyan's daily speech is, he did sacrifice his life to save himself at the critical moment. Shang Qingyun was grateful, and hurried over, held Xu Shiyan's shoulder, and said, "What are you looking for? I will help you."

"Band-aid. Why are there so many rocks on this hillside? It's killing me."

Hearing Xu Shiyan's complaints, Shang Qingyun suddenly felt that Captain Xu was not so unkind. Although he was a policeman and always scolded others with a dark face, he was also an ordinary person with flesh and blood. It will hurt.

Shang Qingyun took out a piece of Band-Aid from Xu Shiyan's pocket. There was also a sealed package under the Band-Aid, which contained sterile cotton swabs. He tore it open together, and neatly treated the wound on Xu Shiyan's forehead that was broken by a stone.

Shang Qingyun was serious and focused, and didn't even notice that as soon as he approached, Captain Xu quickly moved his eyes away, staring at the stones on the ground and remained motionless.

After that, the two didn't say anything more.After Shang Qingyun treated Team Xu's wounds, they immediately got up again, followed the traces of the good and evil insects, all the way down, and came to a sunken valley.

I don’t know what the grass in this valley ate, and it grew as tall as a person. Those who didn’t know thought that some farmer planted a crop here.Shang Qingyun and Cheng Feipeng followed the trail of the good and evil insects, and they disappeared when the grass reached their knees.

Seeing Shang Qingyun stop, Xu Shiyan asked, "Why don't you leave?"

"The traces of the bugs have disappeared. Captain Xu, smell it, is there a fishy smell in the air?"

"A fishy smell?"

Xu Shiyan sniffed, but didn't smell it.

Shang Qingyun bent down and grabbed a blade of grass, relying on the wind blowing the grass, judged the direction of the wind, and walked over there.He walked very slowly, because the grass grew higher as he went forward, but the road under his feet was still downhill.

"This grass pit is not right." After walking for a while, Team Xu said.

Shang Qingyun was speechless. Under the shadow of the grass leaves, he saw some red and pink lights appearing in front of him, and his intuition told him that the situation was very bad: "Captain Xu, do you think the phone has a signal here?"

Xu Shiyan took out his mobile phone and looked at it. There was a signal, so he asked, "Yes, what's wrong?"

Shang Qingyun said: "It's okay, I just think it might be useful later."

In the phrase.

When Shang Qingyun walked forward for about 20 meters, the grass gradually lowered, and the field of vision gradually recovered, so they could see the scene in front of them clearly - at the bottom of the entire grass pit, there was a ruins.

The collapsed houses have been devastated by wind and frost for a long time, and now many of them have only one ridge still standing on the ground.Among the ruins, there are many steles with names engraved on them, which look like tombstones.It's just that the number of these tombstones is a bit too much, densely packed, there are eight hundred if not one thousand.

"This is……"

Shang Qingyun's heart skipped a beat. The ruins looked like the dream that the old lady of the Zhou family dictated to him when he took over the case of the Zhou family.The old lady said at the time: "I dreamed every day that I was thrown into a pit in the meadow and buried alive, and the tombstones of my ancestors were everywhere. I was afraid and cried, but unfortunately no one could save me!"This is my life!Xiao Shang, you must help me find out whether the third son is the seed of our Zhou family. If he is not, the incense of the old Zhou family will be cut off, and sooner or later I will be dragged to be buried alive! '

Now it seems that the old lady Zhou had something to say at the time. The dream she called was not a dream, but a real event!At this time, Shang Qingyun thought about her words again, and felt terrified. The Zhou family's blood was extinct, and Mrs. Zhou would be buried alive? !It is not easy to make sense of the logic in these words, because from the legal point of view of contemporary society, it is absolutely impossible to allow people to be buried alive under the pretext of 'severing blood'!

Why is it necessary to bury a person alive if the bloodline is severed?What kind of fallacy is this? !Residual vices of feudal society?That's really unacceptable!

Looking at the ruins in front of him, Shang Qingyun fell into deep thought.Xu Shiyan walked forward one step ahead of him.That's because Team Xu has already seen a large oval-shaped stone directly in front of this forest of steles, and under that large stone, there is a bit of the edge of the octagonal well mouth.The edge is made of white marble, which is in sharp contrast with the black boulder pressing on it.

"Old Shang, let's go?"

Team Xu took two steps and found Shang Qingyun in a daze, so he called him.

The two walked out of the weeds "crop field", and Shang Qingyun saw the good and evil insects again in his eyes.At this moment, the black and white bugs were flocking heroically from all directions to the mouth of the octagonal well under the big rock.

What might be in that well, it hardly needs to be said.

"Captain Xu, there is a problem down there." Standing in front of the boulder, Shang Qingyun pointed to the mouth of the well to remind.

"I know."

Team Xu took out his mobile phone while talking.I called Gu Weijun, the captain of the Northern Suburb Criminal Investigation Team, and the two communicated clearly about the situation in a few words. Gu Weijun immediately brought people over here.

During this period, Xu Shiyan and Shang Qingyun tried to push the boulder together, but the stone did not move at all.

Shang Qingyun said: "This situation is not reasonable."

"What do you mean?"

"If the two of us can't push this stone, how did the murderer throw him into the well? Could it be that a gang committed the crime? So, I think there should be some mechanism nearby!"

As Shang Qingyun said, he started looking around.

After a while, Xu Shiyan yelled at him: "Don't look for it, it's here! A ring... hiss!"

"What's wrong?!"

Seeing Xu Dui grinning and pulling his hand out from under the boulder, Shang Qingyun's index finger was bleeding?

"These people are too cunning, even barbs are involved! Old Shang will do me a favor and take out a Band-Aid, it's in my butt pocket!" Xu Shiyan was originally squatting, but he raised his upper body naturally when he was talking.

Shang Qingyun didn't think much about it, and helped him take out the band-aid, and then sterilized and bandaged him.Then, he found that Xu Shiyan was a little abnormal, and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

"It's okay. You don't understand!"

Shang Qingyun:? ?

He was still squatting, when Xu Shiyan stood up happily, whistled and walked into the forest of steles.

Shang Qingyun thought to himself, maybe the barb was poisoned, right?A single stab can turn a person into a neurotic poison!

Not knowing why Xu Shiyan went there, Shang Qingyun half-lyed on the ground and studied the barbed iron ring for a while.After that, he untied his shoelaces, passed through the hoop, and pulled hard——

There was a mechanical sound of gear friction, and the boulder pressing on the head of the well slowly slid to one side. The sunlight moved into the head of the well bit by bit, and the inside of the well gradually became clear.

And Shang Qingyun's complexion also sank bit by bit...
