The fat man rubbed his stomach: "It seems that there is nothing wrong, and there is no problem walking."
"Then let's go back first, we lost track of the old Guantou too. If something like this happened, go back and meet Uncle Third and study it carefully."
"Wait first." The fat man turned around and started searching in the room of the old manager.
"What are you looking for, fat man?"
Pang Dahai looked for it and said, "This old man almost killed me. If I don't go with him, wouldn't I be paid?"
I smiled wryly and said, "This room is only so big, what good things can there be?"
"That may not be... Boss, do you think this is the kind of reed incense you mentioned?" Pang Dahai asked when he found something next to the stove.
I went over to have a look, and sure enough, I found a few unused reeds there.
"Yes. This is the incense reed." As I said that, I took the few incense reeds over.This thing is rare, and it is not easy to make it. I think it may be used in the future.
After I collected the reed incense, Pang Dahai and I left the lifeless house of the old Guantou.
When we returned to the long-abandoned mountain road, I suddenly felt that walking on this mountain road was different from when we came here.
There seems to be a voice lingering in my ear, as if there are many people, but I can't see anyone.
At the same time, the wind was constantly blowing around me, making my whole body feel chilly, and I got goosebumps.
This situation is definitely not right, I intend to take a closer look around, but I am afraid that Pang Haihai's situation is not optimistic.
After weighing it, we decided to give up the investigation here and go directly back to our residence to reunite with our third uncle.
We walked back along this mountain road. I felt people on the road along the way, and I could still hear people talking in my ears from time to time, but it was very unclear, and it was impossible to distinguish carefully.
This feeling has been with us out of this mountain road.
And as we left this mountain road, that feeling disappeared instantly.This also proves that my feeling is real and not my imagination.
I didn't have time to think about it, and the fat man and I didn't dare to delay, and took the path back to the residential building by moonlight.
The business car that Uncle San drove away was not parked downstairs, which meant that Uncle San hadn't come back yet.
I checked the time, and it was less than two hours before dawn. I couldn't help but feel a little worried, and I didn't know how the third uncle was going.
Back at the door, I was thinking about how to get in without the key, at this time Xu Zhe and Xu Ruoxi should have fallen asleep long ago.
Who knew that the door opened as soon as we went up the stairs.
Xu Ruoxi poked his head out, found us, and let us in quickly.
I whispered, "Sister Xu, why aren't you asleep yet?"
Xu Ruoxi smiled bitterly and said: "You all went out, I am worried here, how can I sleep...I have been waiting for you, your third uncle...hasn't come back?"
Xu Ruoxi looked behind me.
"Sister Xu, we and Uncle Three are taking two paths. We will come back first, and Uncle San will probably be back soon."
Chapter 1224 Uphill Search
"Oh." Xu Ruoxi nodded, let us in, and closed the door.
As soon as the fat man entered, he lay down on the sofa exhaustedly.I knew he was afraid that I would be worried, so he reluctantly walked back.He had just eaten ghost food, and his body would not recover in a short while.
I asked Xu Ruoxi to help make five grain soup for Pang Dahai, which is very important for Pang Dahai to restore his yang energy.
Xu Ruoxi was startled: "What happened to the fat man?"
Pang Dahai waved his hand: "Sister Xu, I'm fine. I'll be fine after a short rest."
Xu Ruoxi looked at the two of us suspiciously, stopped asking more questions, and hurried to cook the five grain soup.The five-grain soup is based on boiling five grains, and Sanshu added a few Chinese medicines.The effect is much better than simple grain porridge.This time, we packed grains and traditional Chinese medicine into dozens of small packages and brought them here. We only need to cook one package each time, which is convenient and effective.
As for Fatty's situation, I am not in a hurry. I believe he will recover soon after drinking the five grain soup.
But the third uncle never came back, which made me feel a little uneasy.
Xu Ruoxi quickly made the five-grain soup for the fat man, and I let the fat man drink it too.After drinking, Pang Dahai fell asleep on the sofa.
Xu Ruoxi and I sat in the room and neither of them talked anymore, but neither of us went back to the room to sleep, because I knew that we were all waiting for Third Uncle to come back.
This feeling is often the most difficult. When you are busy with things, you don't think about it.Now that your hands are free, your mind can't help but think about it.
And at this time, what I think about is often the results that can't be worse.Seeing that Xu Ruoxi is worried, I still have to think of some words to comfort her.
In this way, we sat in the living room until dawn, but the third uncle still didn't come back.
Pang Dahai woke up after a long sleep, and was surprised to find that his third uncle hadn't come back yet.
Although we didn't say much, I could feel that the atmosphere in the room was extremely depressed because the third uncle left and never returned.
I have to say that the third uncle is the backbone of our trip to break the curse of the mining area, and his presence will make us more at ease.But again, if he is not there, our psychology will be greatly affected.
For Xu Ruoxi, the third uncle's weight is even more self-evident.
We were in the room, and no one was in the mood to have breakfast, so we waited until after eight o'clock in the morning.
The third uncle is still gone, and I decided not to wait like this any longer.
I made a decision based on the little clues we heard from Li Weiwei when we followed the old Guantou last night.
"Sister Xu, can you work hard and go to the town?" I asked Xu Ruoxi who was still worried.
Xu Ruoxi was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "No problem. You have been busy all the time, and I can't help you much. If there is anything I can do, just say it."
I found a piece of paper and wrote on it: Ten Li Changting Pavilion, Mengyang Ancient Road, Sanyang Stewed Noodles, Fragrance Over the Quartet, these sixteen characters.
Xu Ruoxi took it over and looked at it, and asked, "What does this mean?"
I pointed to the words on it and said: "We are new here, so we don't know much about the geography and history of this place. Sister Xu, you can ask the old people in the town, or go to the library to check the information and see if there are any There is no statement about the Mengyang Ancient Road at Shili Changting Pavilion. Also, is there a local snack called Sanyang Braised Noodles, and if so, look up the history of Sanyang Braised Noodles.”
Xu Ruoxi nodded: "Okay. I'll check this."
I guess Xu Ruoxi will be very curious, why I wrote such a set of inexplicable characters after going out with Fatty for one night.But she knew how to measure it, and she didn't ask too much about it. She simply packed her things and was ready to go out.
"Sister Xu, the car let third uncle drive up the mountain, how can you go without a car?" I suddenly thought of something and reminded Xu Ruoxi.
Xu Ruoxi smiled: "It's okay, it's not impossible to go without a car. Didn't Chen Jinhua run back from the town barefoot back then, and she and I wore shoes more than me. Besides, there are always more ways than difficulties. You can make it easier I went to the town to investigate, and I believe you must have more important things to do, so you don't need to worry about me. I will complete the task."
With that said, Xu Ruoxi waved to us, then closed the door and went downstairs.
Pang Dahai questioned: "Boss, for the journey of more than ten kilometers, sister Xu wouldn't want to run to the town, would she?"
I smiled wryly and said: "You think, for the sake of third uncle, sister Xu is probably willing to go all out. But I think that although this mining area is depressed, there are occasional trucks coming in and out. If you are lucky, maybe sister Xu can get a ride. Now we The manpower is limited, so don't worry about it. If you are healthy, we will go up the mountain immediately to find the third uncle. If he hasn't come back by dawn, there is probably something wrong."
"Health is fine. It's important to find my uncle." Pang Dahai hurriedly packed his things and prepared to go up the mountain with me.
I took a look at Xu Zhe, and after another day and night of recovery, Xu Zhe's spirit has also improved a lot.I told him not to go out during the day and that there was food in the kitchen.
Xu Zhe nodded, understood what I meant, but kept staring out the window.
At this time, we can't take care of him anymore. Anyway, he is such a big man, so he won't starve to death.
Fatty and I went out and went straight to the back mountain.
Without a car, the road up the mountain is very difficult.But we have no choice.
The fat man had just tampered with Jin Chunyang and Li Weiwei's car the day before, causing them to walk down the mountain in a mess.I didn't expect the two of us to repeat the same mistakes today, and we have to come again like this. It seems that there is reincarnation in the law of heaven.
The division of labor between us and third uncle last night was that we went to follow up and observe the old manager, and third uncle went to investigate the ghost stage.
So our first search target is naturally to go to the vicinity of that ghost theater.
Of course, it is broad daylight now, we can't really enter the ghost market, we can only follow the normal route to find the abandoned wooden stage.
Just yesterday, we also found that Jin Chunyang and Li Weiwei were standing in front of the stage and messing with something.
On the way, Pang Dahai also said that if the third uncle really disappeared, would it be related to Jin Chunyang and Li Weiwei.I can't answer his question either. I can't judge whether they will attack the third uncle directly.
We searched all the way along the road up the mountain, and we could clearly see the ruts of the commercial vehicle on the road, which was obviously left by the third uncle when he drove up the mountain last night.
We searched all the way along the ruts. I knew that the car could only drive to a fixed position on the mountain, and there was no way for cars to go further up.
Chapter 1225 The Lost Rear View Mirror
Sure enough, after we went up the mountain, we found the business car that the third uncle drove up the mountain at the usual place where we could turn around.
The car was parked there intact, and as expected, no one was there.
Pang Dahai walked around the car, and suddenly said: "Boss, Uncle Master, this car is driving a bit too hard, look, the rear view mirror has been scratched off."
I was taken aback, and walked over to take a look, and sure enough, I found that the rearview mirror on the side of the co-pilot of the car was gone.
Other than that, there was nothing unusual about the car.
I waved my hand and led the fat man to the nearby grass.
Relying on the memories in our minds, we managed to find the vicinity of the deserted stage.
It is said to be a stage, but it is nothing more than a wooden stage built simply with some wood.We've seen it more than once.
However, there is still no clue about the third uncle.I think he must have found this place last night, because he wants to find the secret of the ghost stage, and this is the only way to go.
But now he is gone.All I can do is to search along the same path to see if I can find some useful clues.
"Uncle, are you there?"
Pang Dahai looked left and right, shouted a few times, his echoes echoed around him, but he didn't get any response.
I also stood where I was, searching around.
I walked a few steps, and suddenly found a light projected from the grass not far from the stage, which was a bit dazzling.
I hurried over and searched carefully in the grass, and finally found a car's rearview mirror among the weeds.
I picked up the rearview mirror, and the fat man came over to look at it, and recognized that this rearview mirror was the one missing from the commercial vehicle.
Pang Dahai said: "It turns out that Master Uncle didn't scrape off the mirror, but took it off. What did he do with the mirror?"
I weighed the mirror in my hand, suddenly my eyes lit up, and I said, "I think, I know what third uncle is doing with this mirror."
"Oh? Boss, what's going on?" Fatty asked.
I lifted the mirror up, and looked at everything around us from the reflection in the mirror.
Of course, these scenes are the same inside and outside the mirror, except for the opposite and the other, and there is no difference.
But I already know that the third uncle must have used this mirror to enter the ghost market.Because the third uncle once told me about how to find and enter this ghost market.One of the most important steps is to use a mirror to reflect on the world.
If there is a ghost market or a ghost theater in the local area, you must be able to see these in the mirror.
The mirror we brought was always in my bag. Uncle San must have left in a hurry and didn’t bring a mirror with him. He didn’t find a mirror in his equipment, so he got a quick wit and removed a rearview mirror from the car to act as a mirror. For this purpose.
But, why is the mirror still here, but the third uncle is gone?
I told the reason for this to Pang Dahai, and he asked immediately after hearing it: "Boss, do you think the uncle entered the ghost market but couldn't get out? That is to say, he was trapped in there?"
Fatty's question reminded me.At the beginning, the third uncle was almost trapped in the "Daoist Night Banquet Picture".So the possibility of being trapped in the ghost market this time really cannot be ruled out.
It is said that third uncle is much more capable than me, and I can run out of it, so how could third uncle be trapped in it.
But I thought about it, and it's really not impossible.The reason why I was able to escape at that time was entirely with the help of that Mu Guiying and the old Guan Tou. If the third uncle went in and there was no such opportunity, then I probably wouldn't be able to walk out by myself.
Thinking of this, my head is buzzing. The most difficult question now is, if my third uncle is trapped in the ghost market, how can I save him?
"Fatty, did you bring the soul gong?" I blurted out.
Pang Dahai was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Boss, did you forget? Last time we broke the murderous situation in Chengnan Hospital, I smashed the gong, and the soul gong is gone long ago."
When Fatty reminded me, I just remembered that when Fatty and I went to Chengnan Hospital, I was afraid that I would be trapped inside, so I asked Pang Haihai to beat the gong outside, but the guy used too much force and cracked the small gong .
I am very annoyed, if there is the soul gong, I can ring the gong outside.If the third uncle was really trapped in the ghost market and heard the sound of the gong, there might still be hope that he could be awakened by the sound of the gong and follow the sound of the gong to come out of it.
But the soul gong is gone, and now we have nothing to use.
Pang Dahai said from the side: "Boss, maybe the uncle is not trapped inside like we thought, and he may have another purpose for staying in there. If the uncle took the initiative to stay in the ghost market, then Everything will be easy to handle. So we still have to calm down and don't think too badly about things."
I nodded: "Okay, what you said makes sense. Let's wait another day. If it's night and if Uncle San hasn't moved, we have to go find him."
We searched around again dejectedly, but I didn't see anything of value except the side mirror.
I had no choice but to pick up the side mirror, and the fat man turned back to the place where the commercial vehicle was parked.
I checked and found that the car key was still inserted in the car, so Pang Dahai and I drove the car from up the mountain to down the mountain.
Back at the residence, Xu Ruoxi hadn't come back yet, and Xu Zhe was still sitting in the room staring out the window in a daze.
I sat on the sofa with the fat man, and I suddenly felt an inexplicable sadness.
