Chapter 241 Another body found

To be exact, the body was discovered by Wangwang.

The third peak of Wudai Mountain is neither the highest nor the most dangerous peak, but it is the peak with the most peculiar terrain.

This is because most of them are century-old trees that block out the sun, with their crowns standing tall and proud. People walking at the foot of the trees cannot see the sky when they look up.

The afternoon sun was so scorching, but walking in the forest was very cool and not hot at all.

Yu Hongdou had been here twice before, and one of the times she came here while unconscious, so she didn't dare to be careless and just followed her brother closely and walked slowly.

"How come this forest is over a hundred years old?" Tan Yanlin sighed as he casually took a picture of a tree that was so thick that two people could hug it when he passed by.

"Yes, according to the county annals, when the former Emperor Tianqi ascended the throne, he cut down a hundred trees here for repair purposes."

"The locals were so proud that, in order to ensure that their descendants would not be deprived of such an honor, the logging team cut down 100 trees and then replanted 300 trees overnight."

Yu Song talked freely, saying that he and his father knew the county annals by heart.

"They are thinking about their children and grandchildren and want them to live long and worry-free lives. They are truly a group of wise people." Mo Shougui nodded in praise.

Tan Yanlin agreed with him and was about to say something in agreement when he suddenly saw Wangwang, who had been lazily following Yu Hongdou, rushing to the crowd like an arrow, blocking them from view, and barking wildly at a tree as thick as a bucket.

"Wangwang! What's wrong with Wangwang?" Yu Hongdou had never seen Wangwang so excited.

She was so scared that she went forward and held Wangwang down. She gave it a quick check and only breathed a sigh of relief when she found that it had not been bitten by a snake and did not look like it was poisoned.

"There seems to be something up there." Tan Langxiu walked up to Wangwang, squatted down, and looked at the treetops above his head from Wangwang's perspective.

The tree is growing very strong, with crisscrossing branches of varying thickness and dense foliage. In the midst of this green cover, there is a faint hint of red, which appears and disappears with the gentle breeze.

Tan Langxiu borrowed a slingshot from Yu Hongdou and did not use her precious iron marbles. He picked up a small stone on the ground, aimed at the red spot, and hit it with a "bang".

The red object swayed with greater force, revealing more of its features from among the criss-crossing tree trunks, which frightened the people staring at the tree below and made them gasp.

The swaying red color turned out to be a pair of bright red shoes.

Yu Hongdou was very frightened.

In Chinese horror, the color red occupies a very large proportion. She was once so scared by a certain game that she couldn't sleep well for more than a month.

Especially the bride who hanged herself in a pair of red embroidered shoes in the game, Yu Hongdou would like to call it the nightmare light of the Chinese people.

Now, in broad daylight, such a pair of shoes suddenly appeared high up in the deep mountains and old forests, making Yu Hongdou instantly dream back to the story of the pair of red embroidered shoes.

"I'll go up and take a look." Tan Langxu frowned, lifted up his skirt, and quickly climbed up the tree trunk.

The monkey was on the tree trunk, and he pulled with his long arms and exerted force with his legs, and with a "swoosh" he moved up a bit higher.

Ten fingers have different lengths, and people are more inclined to the heart

The noise outside soon died down again. Xu came back panting with a messy hair, holding a pair of scissors. She looked at her daughter squatting in the corner of the kang with some embarrassment. She smoothed her hair and reported the results to her daughter as if nothing had happened: "Don't be afraid, Hongdou. Your brother and mother chased the bad guys away."

"Mom, I'm not afraid." Yu Hongdou looked her up and down and was relieved to find that her mother was not injured. She did not ask the rest of the questions. Even if the child was smart, she should not show too much. Anyway, her parents and brother were open-minded now, and the family discussed everything. She would know the follow-up sooner or later.

However, the follow-up came a little late. Her brother never came back and was nowhere to be seen before Yu Hongdou fell asleep. Her father, the head of the third room, was not even seen.

The next morning, Yu Hongdou woke up to the smell of sweet food and saw that her dear mother had already placed breakfast on the small square table beside the kang.

Yu Hongdou quickly got up and put on her clothes. When Xu held the face towel over her face, she suddenly remembered that she seemed to have not brushed her teeth for three days... No! She seemed to have no memory of brushing her teeth!

Yu Hongdou thought hard in disbelief, and finally remembered that he would rinse his mouth only after eating sweets and snacks, and those times were very few. The Yu family did not spoil their children, and apart from making sure the children were full during the main meals, there was almost no such thing as snacks.

Yu Hongdou was hit hard. She didn't feel it was so cruel when she used the dry toilet yesterday. After all, she was born in the countryside in her previous life, and dry toilets were also common equipment. But no matter how rural it was, it didn't mean that toothbrushes and toothpaste were not available!

Picking up the bowl absentmindedly, as the sweet sweet potato porridge entered his mouth, Yu Hongdou's spiritual trauma also recovered. The modern social animal is bravely wandering and is best at enduring humiliation. It's just brushing teeth. At most, he can learn from the ancient people to chew twigs!

Yu Hongdou was very good at adjusting herself. After finishing her breakfast with a mouthful of porridge and a mouthful of pickles, she took the initiative to ask her mother whether she wanted to go and pay her respects to her grandparents.

Seeing her daughter, who was always as quiet as a cat, eat a big bowl of porridge, Mrs. Xu felt relieved and distressed. She took out a piece of dessert from the package her son brought back yesterday and stuffed it into her daughter's hand, while she was still thinking about how to give her daughter some nourishment.

Yu Hongdou, who had just eaten, was a little speechless holding the snack. She took advantage of her mother's inattention and

"This cliff is too steep. It's impossible for one person to go down. Let me go back and ask Dad to come and dig it." Yu Song estimated the location of the orchid grass and shook his head, indicating that they couldn't do it now.

"Brother, I can do it. Tie me up with a rope and let me down. I can stand on that small stone platform." Yu Hongdou volunteered. It was not impossible to come back later, but it might not be safer for her if her father and brother went down to dig. After all, she was light, and as long as the rope was strong, it would be easy for her brother to carry her alone.

Yu Song firmly opposed it, but he could not stand his sister's throwing tantrums. She even wanted to perform a cliff roll, which scared Yu Song so much that he quickly agreed.

"You must pay attention to safety, okay?" Yu Song tied the rope around his sister's waist, pulled it, and then took a handful of vines and wrapped them around the rope near the cliff. This would prevent the rope from being damaged and causing accidents, but he was still worried, as if he had done something wrong again.

Yu Hongdou patted her chest, signaling her brother not to worry.

After Yu Sanlang came back, he didn't have time to talk to his wife and daughter. He went into the main house and went straight to Yu Silang's room, closing the door with a "bang".

Seeing Sister Hutao stretching her neck to get close to the window of the main room, Yu Hongdou picked up the corn kernels drying in the yard and threw them at her mischievously. Seeing that the other party jumped up eight feet high in fright and then tried to grab her in anger, she couldn't help but run out laughing.
