Chapter 368 Discovery

Although this village is located on a plain, there is a hill behind the village.

It's not too high, but you have to climb from the foot of the mountain to the top. If you go quickly, it will take half an hour anyway.

"What are these old men and women doing up the mountain for nothing?" the fellow villager kept muttering, leading the way.

As the saying goes, the mountain depends on the mountain.

Their hill is not big, but it can also produce some mushrooms, bamboo shoots, and even wild raspberries.

During the famine in the early years, many people survived on these scraps from the mountains. But now that life is better, most people don’t care about these three melons and two dates.

Mostly when the children were young, they would run around in the mountains and explore. Because there has been no danger for so many years, the adults are very relieved.

"Are there any temples or anything like that in your mountains?" John Woo asked as he followed behind him.

It is also very common for the elderly to go up the mountain to pay homage together.

Furthermore, if there is a temple, it may be more or less related to the creation of the domain.

"What can there be? They are all flowers, plants and trees for children to play with." The fellow shook his head. "The weather has been bad in recent years, Laogan. If it doesn't rain, you can see that these trees are all dry. Mushrooms don't grow, so going up the mountain is a waste of effort."

After what he said, several people looked carefully at the trees on both sides.

Green is green, just that kind of dry green. There is indeed a dry feeling on the bark.

"But I just looked at the fields below, and they were green." Lin Fan said strangely.

"That's all artificial rainfall, pumped water. Most of us here are old people, and there are not as many fields as before. The water allocated is only enough to irrigate the farmland, and we don't care about the mountains." The fellow explained.

"If you had come two months earlier, it would have been the time of spring sowing. The ground was dry and cracked, and the river in the back mountain was said to have evaporated less water. I have grown up so old, and I have never seen it in my memory. It has been like this since the beginning of spring. What’s the situation?”

The fellow shook his head as he walked, seeming to be surprised by the weather.

"We did it last year. In the summer, there was a fire in Sichuan Province. I thought it would be better this year, but it turned out to be even worse this year..."

"Do you still have a river here?" Sister Xu asked.

"Yes," the fellow replied, "It's said to be a river, but it's actually just a big pond. We used to play in it when we were kids, and the water was pretty clear. But later on, in order to build roads or something, we blocked both sides of the river. Now it’s just a big pond at best.”

Mountains, rivers, temples, and caves are all places prone to problems. Therefore, Sister Xu asked this question.

Now, halfway up the mountain, nothing seems to be wrong. There was no temple either. She was still wondering what was wrong, but the river appeared.

"Where is the river?"

"At the foot of the opposite mountain, we have to climb over this mountain." The fellow was panting, "What? You want to play? That place is now a stagnant pool, which is not fun anymore. You can't see anything if you go there."

Several people climbed to the top of the mountain without seeing anyone else.

"Hey? Where have all these old men and women gone?" The fellow stood on the top of the mountain and looked around.

Maybe it was a place he was familiar with, and he had seen people in the surveillance just now, so although he was worried, he was not that nervous.

Lin Fan and the others had a stronger sense of weirdness, but they couldn't say it directly.

"This is the way you go up the mountain?" Wu Yusen confirmed with him.

"Yes, there are still many people walking, so it's a trodden road." The fellow replied, "Actually, you can walk anywhere in the dirt mountains like ours. But there are many mosquitoes in places with high grass, so most people won't go there. Especially My family members are still holding their children.”

No normal person would take the initiative to go to a dangerous place with a child in his arms.

"Where is the river you mentioned?" Sister Xu had already scanned around and found nothing.

"That's it, the sparkling land..." The fellow turned around and pointed, "Huh? Where's the water?"

Lin Fan looked in the direction of his finger and saw a large patch of brown among the green patches, which looked like land.

"Huh? Could it be that the water has dried up?" The fellow scratched his head, "Isn't it possible? Although it was dry for a while before, isn't it normal recently? It's not like the river has dried up, right?"

"Go down and take a look." Sister Xu said after making sure there was no problem on the mountain.

The fellow couldn't find his family members, so he had no choice but to continue exploring. "You think nothing will happen, right?"

"What could happen?" John Woo pretended to smile lightly.

"...Same." The fellow nodded.

He already felt something was wrong, but because of his limited vision, he couldn't think of anything else.

The way down the mountain was harder than the way up, but Lin Fan was the most stable and even helped Sister Xu several times.

Walking to the bottom of the mountain, and a little further forward, I saw a dry river bed, which was quite large.

"Is the river so deep?" The fellow looked at the land that was not covered by the river water and was completely exposed. It gradually deepened from the bank downwards. There was already a person taller four or five meters away.

In a way, I felt shocked.

Except for him, the other three people immediately discovered a patch of footprints, extending into the river bed along a short slope that was not particularly steep.

"Have everyone in the village come here?" Lin Fan whispered.

"It looks like it." John Woo nodded.

The fellow also discovered the footprints at this time and was stunned for a moment before he realized what he was doing. "What can be in this river? So many people are walking here?"

Who knows? It couldn't be a fish anyway.

Having footprints is much better than searching aimlessly just now.

The four of them followed the footprints down to the river bed. Sister Xu took the opportunity to touch a handful of soil, which was indeed not normal.

There are a lot of vegetation along the river. Although the growth is not particularly good, it is still lush and lush. Why is the soil in the river so dry?

It feels like a world...

Sister Xu suddenly turned around and climbed to the shore five or six meters to the right of the footprints.

Lin Fan didn't know why, but Wu Yusen reacted and ran to the left of the footprints, about ten meters away, kicked off his feet, and flipped to the shore.

He looked at Sister Xu who also climbed ashore and shook his head gently.

No!

"Hey~ What are you doing? Why did you go up again?" The fellow was walking and felt that there was no movement behind him. When he looked back, he saw that only the little girl was down there, and the man and woman were standing on the shore, quite far away.

The three people stand like the three points of a triangle.

"Here you go, I dropped something just now. Come back and look for it." John Woo jumped down with a smile and walked quickly towards the fellow villager.

After Sister Xu came back, she whispered to Lin Fan what they had just guessed.

"Is there a boundary here?" Lin Fan's eyes widened, "Isn't that something only big men can do?"

"It's not a boundary. The entrance and exit range of a boundary is very small. We guessed wrong." Sister Xu shook her head. "But there must be a problem here. You should be more alert."

"Okay, I will follow you closely." Lin Fan put his hand in his pocket and touched a dozen paper charms, feeling relieved.

John Woo and his fellow villagers walked in front, bypassing a narrow river mouth blocked by a fallen bush, and saw something that made his eyebrows jump.

In the center of the river bed, there is something like a tombstone, leaning crookedly on the inconspicuous dirt bag behind it.

But it doesn't look like a tombstone, because there are two stone doors on it.

Now, one door stood crookedly, and the other was completely open.

There was no light behind the door, so it was impossible to see what was going on inside.

The dark shadow was so quiet in the sunny weather, huddled in the door, as if waiting for them to pass.
