"As soon as I saw Zou Yuan, I discovered that she had allergic symptoms. You may not have noticed that her breathing was slightly shallower and faster than the others. When talking to us, she deliberately suppressed her coughs several times." Tao Le said.
"As I became suspicious, I found a large red rash on her legs. This allergy is very similar to a poisonous weed that has invaded Hong Kong Province and was reported recently."
When Xie Baoshu heard this, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind, and he suddenly realized:
"Three-leaf ragweed. I've read this report!" He looked at Zou Yao as if he was taking credit, earning a big roll of his eyes from the other party.
Tao Le smiled secretly in her heart, it was not in vain that she spent all her efforts to build a ladder for Brother Xie, he finally came to his senses.
"Yes, that's the report." She talked eloquently: "The pollen of trilobite ragweed can cause allergies, and the flowering period is extremely long. But generally speaking, infection will only occur when the amount of pollen reaches a certain level. Avoiding light can induce diseases such as asthma and emphysema.”
"Although this kind of trifoliate ragweed has extremely strong reproductive capacity, it is an alien species after all. Now, a large area of trifoliate ragweed has been discovered in Langtou Mountain in Desheng Township, which has attracted the attention of relevant departments. It will be announced soon. Will be cleaned up soon.”
At this point, Tao Le looked at Xie Baoshu and said, "The location of Desheng Township is just right."
Xie Baoshu got what she meant and said immediately: "Desheng Township is just west of Yun City. Moreover, the drive from here to Langtou Mountain usually takes two and a half hours. But if there are fewer vehicles at night, It’s normal for the trip to be shortened to two hours.”
Tao Le clapped his hands: "Yes, that makes everything right."
Zou Yao nodded, but still asked the question: "Nangtou Mountain is very large, we can't just search endlessly, right?"
She got to the point. However, Tao Le is confident about this: "This kind of grass has a characteristic. It always chooses a specific place to grow."
This time without her having to signal, Xie Baoshu learned to answer quickly: "This kind of grass likes water and usually grows very close to water. As for Langtou Mountain, there is only one place with water source."
"You mean, Langyao Waterfall?" Zou Yao and Zou Yuan said at the same time.
At this point, Zou Yuan also recalled: "I remember that I did hear the sound of running water in the house at that time."
Tao Le immediately asked: "From which direction in the house did the sound of water come?"
"It should be the left side, yes, the left side." Zou Yuan thought about it again and answered affirmatively.
"The sound of water comes from the left, which means that the house is on the right side of the waterfall. That side has been developed well in recent years, and many B&Bs have been built." Xie Baoshu said: "Actually, I paid special attention to it recently and wanted to invite Yao Let’s go out to the countryside together with Yao.”
Zou Yao gave him a smile to show her confirmation, and then said: "Since there are all B&Bs over there, you can always remember which one you went to, right?"
Zou Yuan frowned and started thinking since Xie Baoshu mentioned the B&B just now. Then she raised her head and said, "It doesn't look like a B&B. It's just a very common farmhouse, and there are no other houses nearby."
"The current location is quite specific. Let's go and have a look first." Zou Yao turned around and was about to leave.
Two days had passed, and she was really worried about how her grandfather was doing.
At this moment, Zou Yuan called them from behind.
"I'll go with you too. In fact, I'm also worried about my parents and eldest brother. I haven't been able to contact them in the past two days."
Tao Le remembered an issue that had been ignored before.
"Since Langyao Waterfall is a tourist attraction and many B&Bs have been built, how could there be no signal?"
When she said this, everyone realized there was a problem.
Zou Yuan recalled another detail: "We were walking on a mountain road, walking through the woods at night, but we definitely didn't see any waterfalls, otherwise I would definitely have an impression."
"By the way, Zou Yuan, your family members all stayed there, why did you come back alone?" Tao Le was about to ask Xie Baoshu's question.
"I don't know. I was terribly sleepy at that time. I only remember that the gray-haired miracle doctor felt my pulse and shook his head, saying something inappropriate. Then he had someone take me down the mountain and send me away. return."
"If you don't want to save grandpa, what are you going to do with your pulse?" The weird feeling in Tao Le's heart became even stronger.
Zou Yuan shook his head: "I don't know either. The miracle doctor checked everyone's pulse, but only let me come back."
"This thing sounds a bit weird, doesn't it?" Xie Baoshu touched his head and said, "Yaoyao, how about we call the police?"
"Don't call the police." Zou Yuan said quickly: "When I left, the miracle doctor and my dad told me that it might take several days for them to come back. It's normal to be unable to contact them in the meantime, so don't make a fuss."
"It's true, let's hurry over and have a look. Baoshu, you will accompany me, right?"
Zou Yao's last words were so breathtaking that Xie Baoshu immediately patted his chest: "Go, you must go, I will accompany you wherever you go!"
When Tao Le saw Zou Yao's eyes looking over, he expressed his stance first: "I don't have a problem either."
She was actually very curious about what this family was doing mysteriously.
He is a miracle doctor and disappears for fun, it has simply turned into a story about a mortal encountering an immortal.
She had a hunch that this matter was not as simple as a miracle doctor saving people.
But thinking about it, with her current strength and reflexes, she probably wouldn't be in any danger.
After explaining the situation to the musicians outside, Zou Yuan followed them into the car.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the group arrived at Langshan Waterfall.
The waterfall is not big, only more than ten meters high. There is a pool with a radius of more than 100 meters below, where fish can be seen from time to time.
It is mid-autumn, and the ginkgo trees beside the pond are all golden, falling with the wind, and the ground is shining brightly, but the scenery is still eye-catching.
Today is the weekend, and there are not many people at this scenic spot. Looking at the past, there are thirty or forty people, either leaning on the railing to watch or taking photos, but nothing unusual can be seen.
A plank road has been built on the right side of the waterfall. Soon after the four people walked forward, they saw a bluestone road with B&Bs of different styles on both sides.
There is also a small courtyard with a single family in the middle. When Tao Le and the other three met, they all looked at Zou Yuan, but when they saw her just shaking her head, they knew it was not the family she went to at all.
Everyone walked along the stone road to the end. There was a high cliff in front of them, and the top could not be seen upward at a glance.
The reason why Langtou Mountain is called this is because of this tall and upright peak, which looks like a hammer from a distance, and the top of the peak is much wider than the bottom.
This place is a straight cliff that people cannot climb up at all, so tourists stop here.
But where are Zou Yao's grandfather and second and third uncles now?
The four of them were puzzled, but Tao Le suddenly heard the sound of branches breaking from above the tree on the left.
She quickly raised her head and looked in that direction, only to see a shadow moving very quickly between the trees, and in an instant it disappeared among the trees on the left side of the stone road.
With his extraordinary eyesight, Tao Le saw the shadow clearly.
It wasn't a monkey or any other animal, it was a human being.
A strange old man with white hair and wearing gray double-breasted clothes.
