The Boy with The Dragon Tattoo

Chapter 262: The shadows are heavy

Views:

After several hours of trekking through the ridges and mountains, everyone finally arrived at the end of the trip-Qinhan Village.

Standing on the dangerous mountain pass, you can see a green mountain and green water. Qinhan Village is surrounded by towering and steep peaks, and at the foot of the mountain is a wide and flat basin.

The place where they are located is condescending, and all the scenery in the basin has a panoramic view. The basin is a very regular circle with a deep pool of water in the center. Two jade belt-like rivers, one east and one west, divide the basin into one. Second, the trees in the valley are lush and verdant, and the scattered flowers and plants are colorful.

Everyone was stunned by this unique natural beauty, and suddenly felt that the hard work of this journey was worthwhile. The fatigue caused by the long journey was also wiped out.

Although the whole picture of Qinhan Village has been seen on the satellite map, Zi Yang has also introduced many situations in the valley before. But when he saw everything in front of him with his own eyes, Su Rui couldn't help but let out a soft exclamation. Standing on the top of the mountain, overlooking the picturesque scenery at your feet, there is an illusion of being in a fairyland.

Xiaoli was even yelling in excitement, clicking and clicking with the camera in her hand.

Zi Yang took a sip of mineral water, leaned on a mule, and let out a long sigh of relief. Although Zi Yang and Lao Wang entered the mountain for the second time, after a year of earthly experience, returning to this uncontested paradise again, they still have a sense of refreshment.

Zi Yang pointed to the bottom of the valley and said, "Have you seen it? That side is where the villagers live. Later we will go to the villager's house and have a meal, and we will camp at the edge of the village at night."

Everyone followed the direction of Zi Yang's fingers and saw that a corner of several farmhouses were vaguely exposed among the green bamboos.

Brother Xiaosha stroked his hair and sighed, "I have been to the Crescent Lake in Dunhuang and the Sun Moon Lake in Ali. These places are not as beautiful as the pool in Qinhan Village! Alas! Such a good natural ecology, if it can be developed. Just become a tourist resource."

Zi Yang squinted at Brother Chisao: "Before there was someone who had the same idea as you, but later..." Zi Yang had a sudden pause when he said that.

"What happened later?" Brother Xiaosha asked with interest.

"Later he was arrested!" Old Wang frightened him next to him: "Young man, don't ask if you shouldn't ask, don't understand what shouldn't be understood!"

Because he knew that Zi Yang's trip had a "special purpose", Lao Wang also wanted to give Xiao Shao a vaccination in advance, so that he would ask questions about it when it was time to save him, and make trouble if nothing happened.

Brother Xiaosha was a little unnatural when he was robbed of his white face. Su Rui saw all this in his eyes. He felt that although Lao Wang was kind, but he said too straightforwardly—but that’s good, so I’ll speak clearly early to save everyone. During the expedition, Xiaosha continued to be "curiosity" and caused more embarrassment and inconvenience.

"Let's go! Hurry down the mountain, the villagers will start cooking later, we will have trouble if we miss the meal and want to find something to eat!" Zi Yang saw that it was late and urged everyone to leave.

What Old Wang said just now made him wake up from the beauty of this beautiful day. I remembered the weird tragedy that happened in Qinhan Village at this time last year.

Just because of a curiosity, the destiny of the four people was changed forever.

The tragic deaths of Qin Ruilin and Jin Xia touched him a lot, and it was the first time he had witnessed death up close when he grew up. Two people who were in their youths were lost in despair, how fragile human life is in front of nature.

And Chen Ruixi, the initiator of all this, must not escape the sanctions of the law. Perhaps he will spend his next life in regret and guilt.

There is also that poor innocent girl Wang Juan. Last time they got the news that Wang Juan had been mentally ill after being greatly stimulated, and she didn't know how she was recovering from where she is now.

But these are no longer important to him. The most important thing now is to find the connection between Qin Han Village and the Twelve Chapter Map. This is also the ultimate goal of their trip.

Zi Yang knew that the twelve chapter maps in his hand determined the fate of many people.

He didn't believe in such things as pulse condition and Qi count. But Xiao Hei's future, A Chong's life and death, and even Professor Zhang's conspiracy are closely related to these twelve chapter maps. Perhaps there are more stakes behind this.

Thinking of this, Zi Yang's mood instantly became extremely heavy. Everyone saw that his expression was bad, and they didn't dare to provoke him again. I thought this guy was still angry for the "uninvited" of Brother Xiao Shao and Ye Beili.

On the way, Pharaoh had already taken the initiative to "confess" that he had "forcibly" abducted Brother Xiaosha and Xiaoli without telling Su Rui and Zi Yang. Pharaoh did not do this thing quite authentically, even Ye Zhiqiu and Ye Beili. This person has also been kept in the dark.

It's okay if he doesn't say anything. Everyone is embarrassed by this matter. Brother Xiaosha didn't expect that he was doing his best all the way, but it turned out to be a "superfluous" existence.

Su Rui also felt that it was not appropriate to let Brother Xiaosha know that he deliberately "excluded him", especially after he had done so many things for everyone, and then said to him, "This thing did not belong to you." It makes people unable to step down. But the real reason for this can't be explained to him, and I have to hope that there will be a chance to compensate him in the future.

Brother Xiaosa is a relatively generous person, and he didn't worry about it. After all, he has seen the world, he is also the chairman of the student union, and his emotional intelligence is also high. Listening to the ins and outs of Lao Wang, he just laughed.

However, Xiaoli has been reluctant to give up after knowing the truth. Instead of looking for Lao Wang's troubles, she chased after Zi Yang, chattering and asking him: Why didn't you take us out to play? Are we not qualified to be your friends? I'm sorry for you? Why are you always targeting me? …

Being bombarded by her standing at the moral commanding heights, Zi Yang was overwhelmed, and finally agreed to help her buy breakfast for a month before Xiaoli agreed to give up.

With this episode, walking on the road is not lonely. Seeing that the Qinhan Village is at the foot, as long as they go down the mountain, they can camp and rest.

From the beginning of the morning to the present, everyone just ate snacks and water, and had not eaten a meal seriously. Hearing that Zi Yang said that he was about to miss the meal, everyone was anxious and quickened his journey, lest he would pass by Zi Yang with instant noodles and biscuits if he did not eat dinner.

It's just backfired, and the more you want to hurry, the more unhappy you are. Probably because no one walks around all the year round, the already rugged and narrow paths are blocked by lush bushes and impervious to the wind, which greatly increases the difficulty for everyone to travel.

Lao Wang volunteered to open the road ahead, using a sharp folding shovel to cut off the thorns and branches blocking the road, making it easier for people and mules behind to move.

Zi Yang had to admire Su Rui's carefulness and preparation. When he saw the engineering shovel item on the shopping list, he felt it was unnecessary. Now it seems that Su Rui has the foresight, this "shovel". But it helped them a lot.

Even so, everyone was hurt by the vines and branches on their faces and hands. After learning that this was the only way in and out of the valley, everyone sighed for the closed and backward Qinhan Village.

But think about it, if it weren't for such conditions, this paradise would have long since ceased to exist.

After finally walking through the jungle to the foot of the mountain, the vision in front of him finally became clear. The crowd slowly led the mules into the village. Nearby, you can see scattered houses looming under the cover of lush greenery.

Walking on the village roads shaded by trees, everyone feels the breeze blowing, and the whole body is very refreshing. There is such a good place in the hot summer, which makes people feel like they are in the sky on earth.

It's just that the more Zi Yang walks away, the more solemn his expression is-why is the village so quiet

When I came last time because of the martial law, although it was still very quiet, there were still smoke and curious villagers, but now I can't see a single figure.

The weeds on the side of the road jumped more than one meter high, and the small road paved with bluestone slabs were covered with moss, as if no one was walking around all the year round.

When I walked into the dwellings, I saw that the doors and windows of each house were closed tightly.

Zi Yang stopped vigilantly, turned his head and looked at the two of Lao Wang looking at each other.

Su Rui also asked in a soft voice, wondering, "Did you also be so weird last time?"

Zi Yang shook his head, "There seems to be something wrong." He said that, Xiao Li and Xiao Sha couldn't help becoming nervous.

Zi Yang winked at Old Wang, "Go, knock on the door and ask."

The head of the old man walked to a house and slapped the door with his hand and shouted loudly, "My fellow, come out, we won't grab food."

Lao Wang's voice rang out far away lonely in the air, and strangely no one answered in the door.

Lao Wang walked a few steps, then knocked on the doors of several farmers, but there was no response. I had no choice but to look back at Zi Yang and the others, spreading both hands, indicating that they had done their best.

Zi Yang coughed and winked at him secretly.

Lao Wang said that he understood, he turned half a circle around the wall of a house, looked at a place where he could hold his hand, and turned in neatly.

"Hey, you, you just break into someone's house like this, is that appropriate?" Xiaoli frowned and looked at Zi Yang dissatisfied.

Everyone can tell that Lao Wang is the culprit who broke into the private house, but Zi Yang is the one who "controls" Lao Wang behind his back.

"It's okay, don't worry, Lao Wang runs fast. Normal people can't catch him." Zi Yang said nonchalantly.

Xiao Li stomped her foot, "You, you are such a bastard!"

After a while, Old Wang turned out from the place again, scratching his head and walking over with a dazed expression.

"How is it? What are the fellows doing at home?" Zi Yang asked with concern.

"It's weird, there is no one in the house, the doors and windows are all brought, and they are not locked. The furniture in the house has fallen to a layer of dust, and some days no one will live!" Old Wang looked puzzled.

Zi Yang frowned, walked to another house, pushed casually, and the door opened. It seems that people in Qinhan Village still don't have the habit of locking the door.

"My fellow ~ fellow ~ is there anyone in the family?" Zi Yang shouted while standing in the yard, pulling his neck.

No one answered.

Zi Yang walked to the front of the house, pushed the door carefully, and the wooden door opened with a creak.

Zi Yang poked his head in and shouted softly, "Hey, is there anyone in the house?"

"Hoo", suddenly a black shadow rushed towards his door, Zi Yang Dahai, subconsciously shrank his neck, and the black shadow flew out directly above his head.
