It is said that there was a Mazu Temple on the top of the mountain a long time ago, so this mountain is called Mazu Mountain, and this street is called Mazu Street. But at some point, the Mazu Temple collapsed, and the fishermen chose another place to build a new temple, leaving only the place name.
Matsu Mountain is not high, but the vegetation is lush on the mountain, and there are many reefs at the foot of the mountain. Standing on the Yingzui Cliff without trees, you can overlook the whole sea.
Tonight, the wind is very gentle, there are few clouds, and the moon on the sea can be seen very clearly.
Although it is only fifteen tomorrow night, the moon looks very round tonight. I don't know if it's true, or I just accepted the psychological suggestion, thinking that the moon is so big, it seems that the sky can't support it, and it's about to fall down.
I struggled with it all day, and finally couldn't bear it any longer, and summoned up the courage to ask: "Tomorrow night is the night of the full moon, do you still remember what you said?"
Wu Julan stared at the moon silently, and after a moment, said: "Tomorrow night, we will meet at the beach where you saw me last time."
"Is it the rocky beach at the foot of Matsu Mountain that I often go to?"
"Um."
Originally, I thought I still had a lot to say, but at this moment, standing beside Wu Julan in the quiet night, looking at the sparkling sea under the bright moonlight and listening to the sound of surging waves, I suddenly felt that I Enjoy the present moment first, and wait until tomorrow for everything else
Suddenly, Wu Julan swayed and was about to fall, I hurriedly supported him, "What's wrong with you?"
Wu Julan said: "It's okay, my leg suddenly felt a little cramp." He closed his mouth, listened intently, his eyes gradually became very sharp.
I asked anxiously, "what's wrong"
"Someone is hiding in the woods, slowly approaching us, four people."
I really wanted to say optimistically, "Probably a neighbor who came for a walk at night", but I didn't think it was possible at all.
I said, "It's a bad guy. Let's run down the mountain now. After we run through this path and call out loudly, the neighbors will definitely hear us."
Wu Julan said: "I can't run now."
"I'll help you run."
Wu Julan did not accept my proposal, "These four people came here with bad intentions. Later, if I say run, you run. I will block them, and you go find someone to help."
"No, I want to be with you"
Wu Julan stared at me with burning eyes, "I will be fine, but if you insist on staying, I will protect you, and I will probably be in trouble. Don't let you become my weakness, that is the greatest help."
I can only be obedient, "Okay."
Wu Julan asked me to help him walk to a nearby coconut tree.
Only then did I realize that it was indeed impossible for me to run with Wu Julan. Wu Julan's legs were as stiff as stone pillars, and he and I were sweating profusely after just a few steps.
Wu Julan asked me to pick up some small stones for him. He held it in his hand and said to me: "Run down the mountain with all your strength, don't try to come back to save me, trust me, I will be fine."
I bit my lip tightly and nodded.
Wu Julan said: "Run"
I rushed to the mountain path as soon as I could, someone jumped out from the bushes, trying to catch me, but before I got close to me, a stone whizzed and hit his eyes, he had to dodge to dodge, I quickly walked from him ran over.
He still wanted to continue chasing me, but another stone flew towards him, so he had to dodge first.
Wu Julan was leaning on the coconut tree, throwing stones with one hand, and bent his index finger with the other, ticking him off, full of provocation and contempt.
The man flew into a rage and called out to his accomplices, "Get rid of the man first."
I ran and ran, but I couldn't help but look back at the coconut tree. Four men were holding daggers and besieging Wu Julan together. Because Wu Julan couldn't move her legs, she could only cling to the coconut tree and passively protect herself. The four men noticed his strangeness, two of them attacked him from both sides, and the other two took advantage of Wu Julan's defense, stabbing the daggers in Wu Julan's legs fiercely.
I felt sad in my heart, turned around and was about to run back when Wu Julan's voice came, "Little Luo, be obedient"
His voice was as usual, so calm that there was no wave, but the "obedient" was so soft that I immediately stopped in my tracks.
I gritted my teeth, turned around suddenly, and rushed down the mountain desperately with tears in my eyes.
I stumbled and rushed to the end of the path, and I could already see the faint lights on Mazu Street. As I ran, I shouted: "Help, help, is there anyone?"
Jiang Yisheng was the first to rush out of the room, and asked loudly, "Xiaoluo, what's the matter?"
I gasped and said, "Wu Julan is at Yingzui Cliff, under the coconut tree, there are bad guys with knives"
Jiang Yisheng took big strides and sprinted up the mountain. Several neighbors followed him one after another and rushed up the mountain.
I was not as fast as them. When I ran to the top of the mountain out of breath, I saw a group of people standing under the coconut trees with strange expressions.
I rushed over anxiously, "Wu Julan"
There was no one under the coconut tree, neither Wu Julan nor the bad guys who attacked us.
I am silly.
A neighbor looked around and said, "Shen Luo, did you have a nightmare and is there no one?"
I said anxiously and fearfully: "Those people must have taken Wu Julan away."
Uncle Zeng said: "Don't worry, Jiang Yisheng has already taken people to look for it elsewhere."
Brother Wang Yang said, "Let's look around again, Xiao Wu is so big, it's not easy to take him away."
Several neighbors dispersed and looked for it along the direction down the mountain.
I suddenly remembered that I bought a mobile phone for Wu Julan, and asked him to promise me that I would always take my mobile phone with me when I went out. I immediately took out my cell phone and called him.
A gentle female voice came: "Sorry, the number you dialed is not within the service area, please call again later."
I didn't give up and dialed over and over again, and the answer was always on the phone.
After more than an hour, everyone searched the entire Matsu Mountain, but neither Wu Julan nor the four bad guys I mentioned were found.
According to me, including Wu Julan, there are a total of five men, and Matsu Mountain is so big, it is impossible to find it no matter what.
Although no one said it clearly, I clearly felt that no one believed what I said.
I want to say "Wu Julan is indeed missing", at least, this is a provable fact.
Jiang Yisheng held me back and whispered in my ear: "Wu Julan is an adult, and the police will only accept him after he loses contact for forty-eight hours. Even if you call the police now, the police will just wait and see."
I just swallowed all the words back.
The crowd gradually dispersed, and the neighbors kindly and quietly told Jiang Yisheng to take me to the hospital for a checkup.
I stood on the top of the mountain, in pain and at a loss. No matter how I thought about it, I couldn’t understand why the five big men disappeared without leaving a trace
I asked Jiang Yisheng: "Do you believe what I say?"
"I believe it." Before I could express my thanks, Jiang Yisheng said again slowly: "You tell me that you have seen aliens, and I will believe it."
I punched him hard with tears in my eyes.
Jiang Yisheng hurriedly said seriously: "You tell me what happened again, let's analyze the possibility."
"After dinner, around eight o'clock, Wu Julan and I went out for a walk, along the path up the mountain, until we reached the highest cliff, Yingzui Cliff, and then four bad guys came."
I walked under the coconut tree and stood where Wu Julan had stood, "He's standing right here."
Jiang Yisheng stood close to my shoulder, leaning against the coconut tree, looked around, and said, "His leg suddenly cramped badly, and if he couldn't move, this is indeed the best place. The coconut tree can protect his back, He can protect you from escaping smoothly."
Behind the coconut trees is a dense clematis forest, on the left is the path down the mountain, in front is an open space overgrown with weeds, and on the right is a cliff shaped like an eagle's mouth, with some low and unknown vines growing sparsely.
After looking around, Jiang Yisheng and I turned our attention to Yingzui Cliff in unison. There are jagged rocks at the bottom of the cliff, and the turbulent sea keeps beating against the mountain wall, splashing high waves.
If people can't be found on land, will people go to sea
I said: "There is also a small road leading to the beach on the other side of the mountain, which is the beach we used to play when we were young." The beach over there is a reef beach, which is inconvenient to walk and few people visit. Playing on the beach.
"I'm more familiar with this place than you. If they take Wu Julan with them, the speed will not be fast. It will take at least twenty minutes to reach the beach at the bottom of the mountain. The reef beach is not easy to walk, and it will take at least ten minutes to go from the foot of the mountain to the beach. After I go up the mountain I didn’t see Wu Julan, so I immediately ran to the hillside over there, and looked at it from a high place, there was absolutely no one there.”
"Perhaps you didn't see clearly."
"Look at the moon tonight."
I looked up at the huge moon and fell silent.
Jiang Yisheng said: "I was worried, so I asked Brother Li to go down that road to look for it, but found nothing." Brother Li is a fisherman, and he knows where to park a boat on the beach. For sure.
I stared at the steep eagle mouth cliff and said, "Did they jump from there?"
Jiang Yisheng said: "It's impossible to jump from there and escape death. Are they worth taking this risk?"
I said angrily: "This is impossible, that is impossible, can people fly into the sky?"
"It's even more impossible, so there must be a reasonable possibility." Jiang Yisheng hesitated and said, "Those four men don't have to take Wu Julan with them. This is the seaside, it's not easy to hide a living person, but it's not easy to make a dead person disappear." Disaster"
I said sharply: "It's impossible, Wu Julan will be fine."
Jiang Yisheng fell silent, but I knew exactly what he wanted to say. If those four people were so vicious that they killed Wu Julan first, then disposed of Wu Julan's body, and then disguised themselves as ordinary people and scattered away, they might escape the search team and escape smoothly.
I subconsciously looked at Yingzui Cliff. The protruding cliff stood in the void, facing the vast sea. At a glance, it was boundless and could swallow everything without leaving a trace.
I seemed to have been stabbed severely by something, and immediately closed my eyes, turned my head away, and dared not look any further.
Jiang Yisheng persuaded: "I've searched all the places I could find. It's useless for you to stay here. It's better to go home and wait. As long as Wu Julan is fine, he will definitely find a way to go home."
For a while, I couldn't think of any other way, so I could only follow Jiang Yisheng home to have a look, with a ten-thousandth hope that maybe Wu Julan had already gone back first.
