When he said this, my heart sank. I asked him why he said that, why didn't he know whether he was alive or dead?
He said, don’t you know, it rained heavily last night. Besides, it’s September now, the autumn wind is cold, the temperature in the mountains is low, and with this heavy rain, if you stay in the mountains for a whole night, you will easily freeze to death. .
This is true. In fact, people freeze to death even in summer, not to mention that the weather has turned cold now and this is still a big mountain.
If someone is in the mountains, it will be easy to freeze to death due to the heavy rain this night.
But I believe that even if someone does freeze to death, Uncle Ma will definitely not freeze to death. This old guy is very smart.
However, I was still worried, so I followed the child into the mountain and walked deeper into the mountain.
At first, there was a trail on the stone roof, which should have been stepped on by people who often went into the mountain. However, the further you went inside, the trail gradually disappeared.
There are towering trees everywhere and shrubs and weeds everywhere.
Especially since it just rained today, the ground was wet. After we walked into the mountains for a while, I got wet and my feet were slippery. It was really miserable.
But this kid is much better than me. I don’t know what kind of shoes he is wearing. They look like jingle shoes. His trouser legs are also tied up. His clothes are also rainproof. He is walking in the forest. Not affected at all.
Moreover, his legs and feet are much more flexible than mine. I would be thrown far away by him while I was walking, and he would often have to stop and wait for me.
The two of us walked around, taking time to ask him about Uncle Ma.
But he didn’t know much about Uncle Ma and others, but he told me stories about their village.
This story is very special, and I listened to it very carefully, because it is directly related to Uncle Ma’s purpose of coming to Village H, and it is also something I have always been curious about.
This child told me that his name is Guo Youshan, and his nickname is Xiaoshanzi. His family has lived in H Village for generations, and he is already the fourth generation.
Their village has a small population and has always been very peaceful and peaceful. Although life is poor, it can be considered very comfortable.
But just a few months ago, no one knew what kind of evil was going on. People in their village kept getting sick, and people were injured one after another. Three or four people died in a row within a week.
You must know that there are only about thirty households in their village, and the total population is only more than 100. Even counting those on crutches and those who are breastfeeding, the number is less than 200.
Normally, no one would die in the village for several years, but in just one week, several people died, and many were sick and injured.
Everyone thought it was strange, and then various speculations came out.
For example, some people say that there is something wrong with the feng shui in the mountains, and the village is flooded with evil spirits, so there have been a series of casualties.
Others said that there was a monster in the village and that some mountain spirit had entered the village.
Others say that it was an old man who died in the village at the beginning of the year. Because he died on the wrong day, he came back to kill people.
So the village invited people from all over to come and have a look. All the great masters and experts came, but Ziwu Maoyou was not seen.
Of course, some people choose to believe in science and take their family members to the hospital for check-ups. But the strange thing is that the symptoms of these people are relieved when they arrive at the hospital and worsen when they return home.
So people started talking a lot, saying that this situation cannot be explained by science, and there must be something wrong with it.
This matter became more and more sinister as it spread, and then somehow it reached the ears of the leaders above. Then a few days ago, an expert team was sent to the village, saying that they wanted to conduct scientific research and investigation.
This expert group is Uncle Ma and the others.
The man who led the team was named Zhang, and I didn’t know what kind of expert he was. Anyway, a group of people went into the mountains every day, saying they were studying geology and geography.
The villagers didn't understand this either. Anyway, they just tried their best to cooperate. They entertained them with good food and drinks every day, and even sent Xiao Shanzi to drive an ox cart to pick them up every day.
When I heard this, I couldn't help but respect the old cow. Even though it was slow, it was still a bus!
At this time, we had been walking for about twenty minutes, and it was already past ten o'clock. I looked up and looked around. All I could see were mountains and woods. I had no idea where I was. I couldn't even find the southeast, northwest, or southeast.
I was secretly anxious, so I asked Xiao Shanzi, where are we going to find Uncle Ma?
Xiao Shanzi said that among these experts, Xiao Shanzi was very impressed by Uncle Ma, because Uncle Ma is the funniest one, he talks funny and loves to talk and laugh.
As for the other people, most of them have a serious look, are cold, and directly reject people thousands of miles away.
In contrast, Uncle Ma is very close to the people, and he is also very strange. Everyone else wears normal clothes, but he puts on a big coat and dresses like a seasoned man.
These people go to the mountains almost every day, saying they are doing scientific research, but they never say where they go, and they are always mysterious.
Because the road was difficult to walk, Xiao Shanzi sent them into the mountain every morning and picked them back up at night.
But the route into the mountain is different every time. They entered the mountain from Shitoulizi yesterday, but they didn't come back all night.
If it hadn't been for what Xiao Shanzi said earlier, that this was an expert team sent by the government, I would have thought that Uncle Ma was here to rob the tomb with others.
I had secretly speculated before that when this old guy told me that he could earn more than 100,000 yuan a month, I thought it might be something unscrupulous.
But I haven't heard that Uncle Ma is talented in tomb robbing, and tomb robbing is against the law. It is impossible for him, a disciple of the Sanqing Sect, to do this.
Now after listening to Xiao Shanzi's words, I basically understand that there are probably some demons and ghosts in this mountain, and Uncle Ma is here with others to slay demons!
Although Uncle Ma's daily routine is to go to the second floor of the bathhouse to slay demons and demons, he is a really capable person, so maybe he goes to the mountains to slay demons and demons.
As for scientific research and geological surveys, they are obviously just words to deceive the common people.
So I asked Xiao Shanzi if he knew where Uncle Ma and the others might have gone this time.
Xiao Shanzi nodded and said, yes, they were going to Yingzuilizi, but they didn’t know where exactly, because that’s what they said when they set out, and they didn’t know whether it was true or not.
I was a little confused, because he just said that those people never said where they were going when they went out, and they were very mysterious. How could they know it this time?
Xiao Shanzi laughed and said it was because Uncle Ma whispered in his ear when they went out yesterday.
He said: "Uncle Ma took advantage of those people not paying attention and told me that if they couldn't come back last night, then I would go to the mountains to look for them after ten o'clock this morning. But I saw that they really didn't come back all night, which was a little bit... I was so anxious that I left at early nine o'clock before ten o'clock."
I suddenly realized that it seemed that Uncle Ma had already figured everything out. He asked me to go to Village H at ten o'clock today, apparently just to meet up with Xiao Shanzi and go into the mountains together.
But Xiao Shanzi was anxious and set off early.
Therefore, if the bus had not overturned just now, I would not have encountered Xiao Shanzi.
I once again thanked the immortals in my heart, thinking that everything was indeed the best arrangement!
However, we have been walking into the mountains for so long, where will Uncle Ma be?
