can't go wild

Xing Zhou immediately went out to investigate, but there was not even a ghost outside the house, only a few barking dogs came from a distance.Thinking that Aino was still in the house, Xing Zhou didn't go far, went around and went back to the window.

Aino was bending down to pick up the stone, thoughtful.

"See what?" Xing Zhou asked.

Aino shook his head.

Their room is on the first floor, and there is a gravel road outside, and anyone can walk through it.And this stone is just a stone that can be seen everywhere, nothing special.It's just that they encountered such a thing when they first arrived here. It can be seen that not only are they trying to lure them out, but they are also impatient to fight with them.

Xing Zhou came in directly through the window, saw Xiangye's bare feet, frowned, and led him back to the bed, "Leave it alone, keep your spirits up, and we'll talk about it tomorrow if you have anything to do."

Aino had no choice but to nod.

Both of them didn't sleep well that night, Xing Zhou kept vigilant all the time, while Aino kept thinking about things.It wasn't until three or four o'clock in the morning that he fell asleep in Xing Zhou's arms in a daze.

Within a few hours, the loud rooster crowing woke him up again.

Feeling a little angry about getting up, Aino came to the living room to have breakfast.Xing Zhou served him porridge, pulled out a chair and sat down, and said, "After we checked in all day yesterday, no new guests have come."

There is only this homestay in the village, and the rest of the villagers also have places to stay, but if you are a foreign guest, of course this is the first choice.And it's not full at all.

Aino drank the porridge slowly, and glanced at the other guests from the corner of his eye.At the moment, there is only a table of donkey friends eating instant noodles by the window, four men and one woman, all young and middle-aged.

In addition, there are two college students engaged in photography, but they are not here at the moment.

Aino didn't deliberately hide his scrutiny. The other party noticed it and turned to look at him. Then they got together and said something, their attitudes were neither bad nor friendly.Unremarkable.

At this time Xing Zhou looked over again, gave the other party a cold look, and told the other party to shut up.

"Tsk." Aino didn't know whether to say that the other party was too knowledgeable about current affairs, or too ignorant.

After breakfast, the two packed up their things and left the hotel. Xing Zhou was carrying a bag, and Xiang Ye was wearing a peaked cap, not to mention being low-key.Just her good looks and demeanor, in such a small mountain village, she stands out from the crowd.

The group of donkey friends had been paying attention to them, and seeing them heading towards the mountain, they couldn't help but mutter.

"Are those two going into the mountain too?"

"Looking at their bulging backpacks, they probably carry equipment."

"Forget about the tall one. The young master next to him looks like he has thin skin and tender flesh. Can he do it?"

"What are you talking about them..."

On that side, Aino and Xing Zhou did not enter the mountain in a hurry.They inquired all the way, and asked about the situation in the middle of the night last night, they only said that there seemed to be some movement, maybe it was a thief.

One of the villagers told them that the law and order here is very good all year round, but his dog did bark in the middle of the night last night.It was quite loud, but he turned on the light to look, but no one saw it, so he didn't take it to heart.

The two followed to see the dog. It was a little wolf dog. It was not yet an adult, but it was full of energy. It looked like a good housekeeper.

Aino didn't like cats, and of course he didn't like dogs either. He stood at a distance, looking along the path in front of the villager's house, looking into the distance.When Xing Zhou came over, he said, "This is the way into the mountain."

Xing Zhou: "You mean, someone went into the mountain at midnight last night?"

Aino: "You'll know when you see it."

It may be dangerous to go here, and Wuque Mountain is not steep, so the two did not invite a guide.The scientific research team that went to the mountains to investigate had drawn a map, and Jue Ming managed to get it done, and the two followed the map.

Soon, the dense forest covered the human habitation, but Xing Zhou also found fresh cigarette butts on the ground.However, this road should be the road that the villagers often go up the mountain. It is not surprising to find some traces. It was not until the two of them turned over the mountainside and entered the inaccessible area that the traces here became obvious.

"It seems that someone did enter the mountain last night." Xing Zhou said.

"Throwing stones is provocation." Aino picked a leaf and played it in his hand, said: "We set up a trap here, we want them to take the initiative to sneak in, the other party may not be able to see that it is a trap, but they are afraid of this trap If it is true, there is really news about Song Yuan here, so I plan to come here early and set a real trap for us here."

Taking advantage of all the available conditions, sitting behind the scenes and strategizing, this is really too much like Chu Lian's style, and it also makes Aino more and more sure that he is really back.

What will be waiting for them in front of them?

"But as long as they appear, our plan will be half successful." Xing Zhou said.

"Do you think Chu Lian will come?" Aino asked.

The two looked at each other, and they both knew that it was impossible, but the plan could never keep up with the changes, and no one could say for sure until the end.

Keep going, the road ahead is getting narrower and narrower, it can't even be called a road, it just keeps shuttling through the mountains and forests.Fortunately, Aino is no longer the weak and crazy high school graduate, and he has successfully followed Xing Zhou's pace.

Cassia Ming was very worried about their situation, so he kept in touch with them all the time, but kept quiet and didn't make a sound to disturb them.

Wuque Mountain is not high, but it stretches for several kilometers and is very long.

At around one o'clock in the afternoon, the two finally saw the cabin hidden in the forest.The cabin was newly built in recent years, but it has been abandoned for a long time, and it is left here to be exposed to the wind and sun, and it looks a little dilapidated from the outside.

In front of the wooden house is an open space, surrounded by ancient trees, a skylight is opened here to let the sun shine in, warming the flowers and plants on the ground.The scientific research team was engaged in plant research. Before leaving, they sprinkled a field of wildflower seeds here. After many years, a small sea of ​​flowers bloomed, filling the open space in front of the wooden house.

A small path has been stepped on in the sea of ​​flowers, and the broken marks on the flower stems are still fresh.

Could it be that the person who entered the mountain last night came here?

The most conspicuous and special place in the whole Wuque Mountain is this small wooden house. It is a coincidence, but it is not a coincidence.

Xing Zhou drew out his gun with a solemn expression.

No need for him to say more, Aino took the initiative to take half a step back and landed behind him.The two approached quietly, Xing Zhou broke in from the front door, Xiang Ye went behind to guard.There is no door at the back, but there is a window.

The two of them outflanked and moved quickly, but there was no one in the room.To be precise, there is no one who can move freely.There were three rooms in the hut. From under the bed in the small room on the left, they dragged out a man who was tied up and wearing a black hood.

Xing Zhou took off the headgear, seeing the man's face, his pupils shrank suddenly.

It was the first time for Aino to see Xing Zhou showing such a groggy expression.

"What's the matter, who is he?" Xiangye grabbed Xing Zhou's wrist, but saw that he was still staring at the man's face.

The man was fainted, but at this moment he slowly woke up.He looks about 30 to [-] years old, with short shaved hair, ordinary appearance and no special features, only a mole on the left cheek is obvious, and the whole face is sickly pale as if it has not been exposed to the sun for many years.

"Hiss..." He groaned in pain, as if his head had been severely injured, his facial features were all wrinkled together, but the moment he saw Xing Zhou clearly, those tightly wrinkled facial features loosened again, turning into fear.

"Why is it you!" He backed away subconsciously, but he was tied up and couldn't move, so he became more frightened, "You tied me here, didn't you?! What do you want to do, do you want to kill me?"

Xing Zhou's face sank like water.

On the other side, in a county in central Sichuan, the bus was driving on the mountain road, going to a place called "Xiyan Farm" to participate in the autumn camp.

Chen Ling was sitting in this car.

With less than seven days left before the start of school, the school's teacher suddenly sent them a leaflet for the autumn camp, calling on top students like them to participate in the Mathematical Olympiad training. It is right to start school early and do sprint training for the next Mathematical Olympiad. .

Grandma Chen answered the call. When she heard that she was going with her classmates at school and the fee was not expensive, she immediately agreed.He also prepared a lot of snacks for Chen Ling to share with his classmates.

"Xiaoling, it's fun when you go there, you know? You have to study hard, but you don't have to work too hard. You should relax when you should relax. The teacher said that the scenery over there is very good. There are mountains, waters and lakes. It's not just for class. You can still go out to play, what is called a combination of work and rest. If there are classmates who play well, you can also invite them home for dinner..."

Grandma Chen kept nagging, and finally sent Chen Ling to the bus herself.Sitting in the car, Chen Ling watched her crooked figure standing at the intersection, and closed the window for a long time.Slightly longer bangs brushed over the corners of the eyes, wearing earphones, a world of its own.

The autumn camp happened suddenly, it wasn't in his plan, but it was just a small accident, there was nothing wrong with going there.

The students were chattering and making noise in the car, and some were hard-working and serious, covering their ears and trying to recite English words to divert their attention, while the two teachers who led the team sat at the front, talking about the nearest stock market, and didn't care about it. .

A few malicious eyes lingered in the back seat. The malice of the young people was as pure and transparent as their beauty. They seemed to still retain the barbaric aesthetics of power in primitive society.

Feeling that gaze resting on him, Chen Ling smiled, wiped his glasses slowly, and said to Qiu Yin in the earphone: "Just deliver the gift. When old acquaintances meet, always allow time for them to catch up. "

Who is the old acquaintance?

It is the younger brother of a former student of Xing Zhou. The two are brothers and they look very similar, so Xing Zhou recognized him at a glance.Then who is this student?It was the accomplice who was bought by Lu Ye and pretended to be kidnapped by Lu Ye to lure Xing Zhou out, and finally caused the death of Xing Zhou's father, the former captain of the criminal investigation department, in an explosion.

At this moment, when Xing Zhou saw the enemy's younger brother again, all the past came to mind again, and asked in a deep voice, "Why did you appear here?"

Cassia Ming was also incredulous, "I'll go check it out."

This person is called Pang Jie. He was only in high school when the incident happened, and he is still very young now.He looked at Xing Zhou's face with fear, and even when Xing Zhou got a little closer, he yelled, "Killer, murderer! Help!"

Aino picked up a piece of rag from the ground, regardless of whether it was dirty or not, and directly thrust it into his mouth, then lifted him up from the ground by his hair, and put the muzzle of the gun on his forehead, "Can you speak well?"

"Uh, uh!" Pang Jie widened his eyes.

"Will it?" Aino asked again.

Pang Jie didn't dare to resist any more, and nodded quickly.Only then did Aino tear off the cloth and asked, "Who brought you here? What is the purpose of coming here?"

"No, didn't you kidnap me here? Don't kill me, I really didn't report on you..." Pang Jie shook his head and backed away while speaking, his expression was terrified, even beyond common sense, and he continued to say The words also stunned Aino.

"Even if my brother did something wrong, you have already killed him, what else do you want?!"

As Pang Jie spoke, he became excited again. Looking at the furnishings in the house, there were dust everywhere, abandoned huts, barren mountains and wild mountains. Isn't this the perfect place to kill people and throw their bodies? !

"It's you, I've seen it all! It's you!" He looked at Xing Zhou timidly and angrily. Put the words out, "You killed my brother, I saw it with my own eyes. Now that you have tied me here, do you want to kill me again? Why? Why are you refusing to let me go? I—"

Aino blocked his mouth again, and turned to look at Xing Zhou.Neither of them spoke, but Xing Zhou's eyes seemed to be gathering storms, which made Aino's heart suddenly tense.

In this case, they stepped in with one foot.

Storm is coming.

"Let him talk." Xing Zhou walked up to Pang Jie and looked down at him with cold eyes.

"Okay." Aino collected himself, but before taking off the cloth, he took off his headset first, then stared at Xing Zhou, wanting him to do the same.

Xing Zhou: "Do you know what you are doing?"

Aino: "Do you want to take it?"

Xing Zhou looked at him deeply, and finally took off the headset.

Aino then took the cloth from Pang Jie's mouth, but Pang Jie didn't dare to say anything.He looked at Xing Zhou and Xiangye, especially Xing Zhou, as if looking at some devil, his teeth chattered.

Suddenly, he felt something shaking in front of his eyes.

It looked like a necklace.

It swayed and swayed, and in an instant it attracted all his attention.

Someone was asking him: "What did you say you saw? Who killed your brother?"

Pang Jie was dragged, and in a daze, he said, "It's... Xing... Zhou, I remember him, he was my brother's... teacher... teacher..."

Aino's hand holding the necklace tightened suddenly, his eyes sharpened sharply, and he asked again: "Why are you so sure? Did you see it with your own eyes?"

Pang Jie looked blank, "Yes, I saw it..."

Aino: "When? Where?"

Pang Jie: "Yes...almost two months ago...in, in Jingzhou..."

Almost two months ago, that is, around the end of June or early July.Aino clearly remembered that he followed Xing Zhou to Jingzhou at that time.
