Qian Rong thought about it again, as if he had thought of something, and he said cautiously: "If you say so, there is really one thing. I feel that those people are really making trouble unreasonably, so I didn't pay attention to it."
"You tell me first."
"The thing is like this. A few months ago, when the construction site just started here, some nearby villagers came over to make trouble, saying that no construction work could be done here. At first, we tried to persuade them and gave them the government's approval document. They looked at it, but who knew they didn’t recognize it at all, and said that our behavior had blasphemed the gods, and asked us to sincerely apologize and stop all work here.”
"Mr. Bai, you are here to judge. Although we people have low cultural quality, we are not illiterate. The cultural quality of those villagers is not even as good as ours. What age are we in? They still practice feudal superstition. Do you really think we are Silly!" Qian Rong said angrily: "So we ignored those boring people and continued working."
Mo Lin thought for a moment and asked, "After you started the construction, have these villagers come to trouble you?"
"That's not true. They just watched from a distance at first, and then they simply stopped coming."
Molin continued to ask: "Do you know where these villagers live?"
Qian Rong thought for a moment and said, "I don't know exactly where they are, but they come out of the mountain in front of them every time. They should live somewhere in that mountain."
"Okay, thank you, I have nothing more to ask."
After the contractor Qian Rong left, Mo Lin said: "It seems that we have to find the villagers here first to understand the situation here. I believe they should have more clues."
"You mean we want to go into the mountain?" Ye Xiaoyue raised his head and glanced at the green mountain in front of him, feeling a little uneasy.
"We're just going into the mountains. Do you have any questions?" Bai Hongyi looked at Ye Xiaoyue doubtfully.
He also often does mountain climbing, so he has no objection to Molin's proposal. After all, it is not difficult.
Ye Xiaoyue took a deep breath, calmed down, and said, "Actually, it's nothing. It's just that I've heard a lot of stories about monsters and ghosts in the mountains before, and I'm a little scared."
Mo Lin smiled and said: "Xiao Yue, I didn't expect you to be scared sometimes."
"Don't worry, most of the stuff you heard is bluffing, and it's almost noon now. This is when Yang Qi is at its strongest, so you don't have to worry about any evil spirits coming to your door."
Mo Lin's words were like reassurance, which made Ye Xiaoyue feel more at ease. The three of them immediately walked towards the mountain in front of them.
It is not difficult to walk in this mountain. In addition, Mo Lin and the three of them are young people. After a while, they walked into the depths of the mountain.
As soon as he stepped into the depths of the mountain, Mo Lin felt a chill. He raised his head and looked up at the sky. Although it was noon, when the Yang Qi was at its strongest, the lush branches and leaves in the deep mountains had completely blocked out the sunlight. Covered, no light can come through.
"Finally I can't see the sun anymore. It was so hot just now." Bai Hongyi said while wiping his sweat.
Mo Lin kept watching the surroundings carefully and remained silent. Ever since he walked into the depths of the mountain, he felt uneasy in his heart. It seemed that he should not enter this unknown mountain so recklessly.
Ye Xiaoyue stopped suddenly, looked around nervously, and said, "Don't you think this place is so familiar? We seem to have been here just now."
"It... seems like we have really walked here." After Ye Xiaoyue said this, Bai Hongyi also felt that this place seemed familiar, as if he had really been here.
"We won't get lost!" Ye Xiaoyue quickly took out his mobile phone, looked at the mobile phone with no signal, and said in a panic.
Molin took out a knife, made a few marks on one of the trees, and said, "Let's go further. Staying here is not an option."
Afterwards, they walked a few kilometers further, and then they discovered that every road in the mountain was very similar. Whether it was a fork in the road or a forest, it was easy for people to feel lost.
Mo Lin also found a way to deal with this. No matter how similar the roads are, the directions of southeast, northwest and northwest are not chaotic. As long as you know the direction, you can get out of this mountain.
.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Mo Lin and the others sat under a tree to rest. They had walked more than ten kilometers on the mountain road, not to mention the village, and they didn't even see a single person except them.
Mo Lin looked around and said, "Let's stop here today. If we go any further, we won't have time to go back."
Ye Xiaoyue and Bai Hongyi looked at each other and agreed with Mo Lin's statement.
In fact, if Mo Lin is alone, there is no need to be like this. Although there are many dangers in the mountains at night, it is not a problem for him, but in that case he will not be able to take care of Ye Xiaoyue and Bai Hongyi.
"Hee hee hee!"
Suddenly, a burst of children's laughter came from nowhere. This innocent laughter revealed suffocating terror. Bai Hongyi and Ye Xiaoyue felt their scalps numb. They were on the road directly in front of them. A piece of white mist floated up, gradually rushing towards the three of them.
"Quick, run!"
Mo Lin reacted immediately and quickly pulled Ye Xiaoyue and Bai Hongyi back.
"Hahaha!"
This time, Mo Lin and the three of them heard clearly. This terrifying laughter came from the white mist behind. Bai Hongyi looked back curiously when he heard the sound.
It's okay not to look at it, but when he saw Bai Hongyi, his face turned pale and his legs trembled. After running for a while, he stumbled and fell to the ground.
Seeing Bai Hongyi fall, Mo Lin quickly went to help him.
"It's so scary, so scary, please help me!"
At this time, Bai Hongyi was already panicking. He sprained his foot. Although it was not serious, he would definitely not be able to run in a short time.
Mo Lin asked Ye Xiaoyue to help Bai Hongyi move forward, and he stood in front of the two of them, staring intently at the strange white mist mixed with children's laughter that was about to float in front of him.
Mo Lin suddenly opened his Yin Yang Eyes and threw out the three Five Thunder Talismans in his hand.
Suddenly, several thunderbolts struck directly into the white mist, and the children's laughter disappeared completely. Mo Lin did not stop, and took out a money sword and threw it in the direction of the white mist. At a distance from the money sword, When the white mist was very close, Mo Lin shouted: "Pardon!"
The money sword instantly broke into one hundred and eight copper coins, which shot straight into the white mist like bullets.
At this moment, the white fog finally slowly dissipated, revealing the originally narrow road.
Mo Lin let out a breath and hurriedly chased Ye Xiaoyue and Bai Hongyi, catching up with them after a while.
Ye Xiaoyue saw Mo Lin rushing over and asked quickly: "Are you okay?"
"It's okay, the little kid is still afraid of them." Mo Lin looked at Bai Hongyi again and asked, "Is your foot okay? Can you still walk?"
"My foot is fine. I sprained it accidentally just now. It's much better now." Bai Hongyi said with some embarrassment. The scene just now really frightened him. As the eldest son of the Bai family, he had never been so embarrassed in front of others.
Mo Linye understood what Bai Hongyi was thinking. He didn't mention anything about what happened just now. He just said that it would be better for him to go up the mountain to investigate by himself tomorrow.
The three of them rested for a while and then headed back. The journey went smoothly without any further problems.
When they were about to leave the mountain, Mo Lin suddenly saw an old farmer cutting firewood not far away. Judging from his outfit, he must be a permanent resident of this area. It really took no effort to get here.
Mo Lin quickly stopped the old farmer and stepped forward and said, "Uncle, we are traveling friends. We accidentally got lost when we came here to play. Do you know how to get down the mountain?"
"You are lost." The old man put down the sickle in his hand, looked at the direction, and said, "If you go down this road, you will see a pool. Go east over the pool and go down the mountain."
Mo Lin didn't know that this was the way down the mountain, but that was not his purpose. There was a trace of embarrassment on his face and he said: "Old man, to be honest with you, we are all road crazy and we usually don't know the way. We don’t even have a navigation system when we enter the mountains, let alone get out, could you please give us a ride?”
"this......"
Seeing the old farmer's hesitation, Mo Lin quickly took out three hundred yuan from his pocket, put it into the old farmer's hand, and begged: "Old man, just do it." qs
The old farmer quickly put the three hundred yuan into his pocket, fearing that
Mo Lin regretted it and said, "Well, I think you are also pitiful, so I will help you."
"Thank you uncle!"
"No need to thank you. You said you city kids are living well in the city. Why do you have to come to this place where birds don't poop?" the old farmer said in a lecturing tone.
"Didn't I tell you that we are here for a trip?" Ye Xiaoyue said in a low voice, somewhat dissatisfied.
"Traveling? What's so good about traveling?" the old farmer retorted after hearing Ye Xiaoyue's muttering.
Mo Lin quickly touched Ye Xiaoyue with his arm and motioned him not to speak. Then he looked at the old farmer and asked: "Old man, we are indeed here to travel. A friend of ours introduced us here and said that the scenery here is good. , but we don’t know where this is.”
The old farmer picked up the firewood he had cut on the ground and said while walking with Mo Lin: "This mountain is called Snake Mountain. It is not a good place. You are lucky enough to meet me today. If you walked in by mistake like this, Deep in this mountain, your lives are decided here."
Mo Lin was shocked. It seemed that they had asked the right person. This old farmer must know something.
From the chat, Mo Lin learned that the old man's surname was Chen, and everyone called him Uncle Chen. Their ancestors had lived here for generations and were familiar with everything here.
After hearing this, Mo Lin asked: "Uncle Chen, since this mountain is called Snake Mountain, are there many snakes?"
Uncle Chen laughed and said, "Of course, there are hundreds of thousands of snakes living on Snake Mountain, and most of them are highly venomous."
