Chapter 36 Small Town

It is still a bit early to enter the mountain in April and May, especially along the river, and it didn't take long for the chill to pass through.Lu Yuan grabbed a coat that Meng Fanyu put on the car from the back seat and put it on. The sun was shining brightly from the car window, but it was not warm.

"Turn on the air conditioner," Meng Fanyu said.

"No," Lu Yuan shook his head, "It's too boring."

Lu Yuan felt tight in his chest, not only because the wind was too strong and the windows were closed, but the closer he got there, the more inexplicable pressure he felt. tear it down.

"Relax." Meng Fanyu smiled.

"If it's schizophrenia, under what circumstances will the second personality appear?" Lu Yuan asked after a moment of silence. This question was something he couldn't figure out all the time. If he could know when the other self would appear, would it be possible? There are ways to avoid this.

"When you subconsciously feel that you don't want to face something, are afraid to face it, or feel that you can't handle it, the second personality is often a protective personality."

"You think I am?" Lu Yuan was a little disdainful, "If this is the reason for me, I don't have to wait until now, I will crack early... The first time this happened to me was when I called Jiayin a while ago, I What kind of pressure would that be? Is there anything you can’t handle? There’s nothing shit going on during that time.”

"Ah."

"What do you mean?"

"It doesn't look like it on the surface," Meng Fanyu gave a standard answer, "but the reason why the subconscious is called the subconscious is that you can't perceive it under normal circumstances..."

"I also agreed with this statement at the beginning," Lu Yuan frowned, "Now that so many things have happened, I have to doubt, and even if I came out with a second personality, what I did was incomprehensible, Han Xu found out about the mirror, and then called me, I went over to rob him after answering the phone, and then he didn't know me when I came back... Don't you think this fact is unbelievable!"

"What do you think?"

"Over here," Lu Yuan patted his chest, "There are others."

Meng Fanyu didn't speak, his eyes looked at the road ahead, Lu Yuan wanted to understand this, sooner or later, all he cared about was Lu Yuan's handling method, how he planned to solve this matter was what Meng Fanyu cared most about.

"I'll put a surveillance camera on myself when I go back, and see what's going on." Lu Yuan lowered his head and zipped up his jacket.

"If yes, what are you going to do about it?"

"Why don't you think about it, this is my body, no one should snatch it from me."

Near noon, the car drove to the source of the river, a small town hidden in a ravine.It can be seen that there was a polder here in the morning, and the rotten vegetables and leaves scattered on the ground have not been cleaned up, but the people are already scattered, and the street looks very deserted.

This is a very ordinary town with a small population. It only relies on once a week to go to the fair to gather some popularity. Once the fair is scattered, it will return to its previous state, with a few people who carry the burden and a few dogs basking in the sun.

"It's a good thing we came late. It's going to be early in the morning, so the cars won't be able to come in." Lu Yuan lowered the window of the car. This road into the town seems to be the only road in this town. If you drive further, you will go out again up.

"Where can I find it here?" Meng Fanyu stopped the car and lowered the window, planning to find someone to ask.There is only one sign in this town, the front shows the name of the place, and the back shows the direction they came from. Apart from this, there are no other signposts.

"I'll ask." Lu Yuan opened the car door and got out, and several dogs basking in the sun immediately stood up and barked at him.

A man wearing a straw hat sat on the opposite side of the road and looked at them. Cars were rarely seen in this place. He stared at Meng Fanyu's car without blinking.

"Uncle," Lu Yuan walked over, judged the man's age, about fifty years old, "I'm asking you for a place, do you know how to get to Lujialing?"

The man glanced at him, shook his head, and said in a strong dialect: "I don't know."

"I don't know?" Lu Yuan was stunned. According to the information, Lujialing is the jurisdiction of this town. A local person actually said that he didn't know this place.

Lu Yuan looked to both sides, and there was a little girl sitting in the shade of a tree playing with mud beside her.

"Little sister, let me ask you something..." Before Lu Yuan finished speaking, the little girl smiled shyly at him, turned her head and ran away.

"Ah, really." There were no other pedestrians on the road, so Lu Yuan had to turn around and walk to the car, "What kind of place is this?"

Meng Fanyu got out of the car and patted Lu Yuan on the shoulder: "I'll do it."

Lu Yuan leaned against the car door, watched Meng Fanyu walk towards the man, took out a cigarette and knelt down beside the man, took one and handed it over: "Master is resting..."

The man didn't move much at first, but when he saw the cigarette handed over by Meng Fanyu, a smile appeared on his face, and he reached out to take the cigarette: "Ah, it's all over, it's all right."

Lu Yuan walked over, a little depressed, and laughed after smoking a cigarette?This fellow is really sincere.

"Is the master a local?" Meng Fanyu put a pack of cigarettes in the man's hand, "Here to smoke, I still have some."

"Hey, I'm sorry. I'm a local. Are you going to Lujialing?" The man took the cigarette and stuffed it into his clothes. "What are you doing there? No one has been there for more than ten years."

"Is there no one else?" Lu Yuan interjected.

"There's no one there! They've all moved to the town..." The man glanced at the two of them, "Are you looking for someone? Everyone is in the town, and no one lives in Lujialing anymore."

"Are the old houses still there? The older generation used to live there, but no one is here now. We just want to see the old houses." Meng Fanyu said.

"Which one is it from?" The man seemed a little wary.

"Show us a direction, we came all the way here." Meng Fanyu helped the man light a cigarette.

"Just go out of the town along the front, and there is a fork in the road for three or four miles. Turn up, and there will be an old reservoir. Turn up from the back of the reservoir..." The man scratched the ground with a branch, "Where are you looking? family's house?"

"Lu Jindong." Lu Yuan walked over to the car.

"Thank you, master." Meng Fanyu patted the man on the shoulder and stood up too.

The man was stunned, and after looking at Lu Yuan's back for a long time, he chased after him: "You are... the one from the Lu family... Lu Jie or Lu Yuan... right?"

Lu Yuan stood still abruptly, turned around and looked at the man: "Do you know Lu Jindong?"

"...I don't know me, I don't know me..." A trace of panic flashed across the man's face, he stood up, turned his head and walked away.

"Wait!" Seeing that he was about to leave, Lu Yuan became anxious, rushed over to grab him, let go of his hand after thinking about it, took out his ID card from his clothes and waved it in front of the man, "I'm from the Public Security Bureau, I have something to ask you."

When the man saw the police badge shining brightly in the sun, he was stunned for a moment, and he didn't dare to look carefully at what was inside the police badge. He was so frightened that he spoke incoherently: "Comrade police...Comrade plainclothes...I I really don’t know... I only know this person, I don’t know anything else... It’s a long time ago..."

"Get in the car for a chat. I'll just ask you some questions. If you know something, just say it. It's okay if you don't know." Lu Yuan pulled the man to the side of the car, opened the door and pushed him into the car.

"You are abusing your power..." Meng Fanyu whispered in his ear.

"It's cheaper than a pack of cigarettes." Lu Yuan glanced at him and got into the car.

"My surname is also Lu...my name is Lu Lili." The man sat on the back seat of the car, looked at the two people in front of him, and was so nervous that he didn't know how to put his hands and feet together. "I used to live in Lujialing. On the other side, when it rains, there will be mountain torrents, and the people in the town will be moved out..."

"What do you know about Lu Jindong's son you mentioned?" Meng Fanyu asked, handing him a bottle of water, "Don't be nervous, it's okay, just speak slowly."

"The twin sons of the Lu family, Lu Jie and Lu Yuan, I don't remember which one is the eldest son... Two children went to play in the mountains, but only one came out..." Lu Li raised his head and glanced at Lu Yuan, his mouth trembling , "You are Lu..."

"I'm Lu Yuan." Lu Yuan replied quickly. What this person said was not in the record. Going to the mountains to play?

"Like...really alike...you and Lao Lu really look alike..."

"Continue to talk about the two sons." Lu Yuan interrupted him.

"Don't you know, your own business..."

"Ask you and you just say it, don't worry about anything else."

"Oh..." Lu Li was a little strange, but he didn't dare to ask further questions, "It's been more than ten years, and I don't remember very well. Children always go to the mountains for nothing, and no one usually cares about them. That day, the two children entered When I came out, there was only one left, with scratches all over my body... I didn't say anything when I asked, but the old man said that he must have entered the Dry Crow Cave..."

"The Dry Crow Cave?" Lu Yuan asked, "What kind of cave is it? Why didn't you mention it when the police came to ask?"

"At that time, who dared to say that this cave is very evil, and no one who enters can come out." Lu Li lowered his voice, "I heard that it is... a place where Yin and Yang meet..."

"What?" Lu Yuan was really surprised when he heard this. What place can be called the junction of Yin and Yang, "Where is the hole?"

"...I don't know. No one knows where it is. I heard that those who went in before didn't come out."

"No one came out?" Meng Fanyu turned his head to look at Lu Lili, smiled and said, "How can the child come out after going in?"

"So it's evil! And isn't there one who didn't come out! The kid who came out didn't say a word," Lu Li stopped when he said this, and looked Lu Yuan up and down, "It's you...how do you... ..."

"Go ahead." Lu Yuan took out a cigarette from Meng Fanyu's coat and handed it to Lu Li, lighting it for him.

"I actually don't know much about that cave. When we were young, we went up the mountain to look for it, but we couldn't find it. It's hard to say whether it really exists, so when the police came to ask before, they didn't dare to say it. Feudal superstition."

Meng Fanyu's fingers tapped lightly on the steering wheel, Kuyadong?Is there an exit from Lujialing?He didn't know if he didn't know at all, or if he forgot.

"It's just a legend?" If Lu Yuan had put it in the past, he wouldn't have believed such a story. What kind of evil is it? It's still at the junction of Yin and Yang, at the intersection of Huangquan?But now, he hopes to find out more specific information from this person.

"Comrade policeman, I really don't know too well. Since we were young, we were not allowed to go too far into the mountains. The old people said that people who get lost will be fascinated. If they are fascinated, they will see the Dry Crow Cave. Once they enter, they will not be able to turn back. " said Lu Li while looking at Lu Yuan with pleading eyes, "I really don't know anything else, you see, I'm just a farmer, it's been so long..."

"What happened after the child disappeared, Lu Jindong killed his wife and then committed suicide, do you know?"

"God..." Lu Li's face turned pale when he mentioned this, "I don't know... I heard that old Lu's daughter-in-law was bewitched by a little ghost..."

"Little devil?" Lu Yuan frowned.

"That's...the child she always said was lost is Lu Jie..." Lu Li glanced at Lu Yuan, "Your brother... said he was still at home and not lost, sometimes he said he was at home, sometimes he said he was at home In her stomach, she wants to have another one..."

Lu Yuan didn't say a word, this is similar to what he found in the files, it seems that this is all that this person knows, and I'm afraid he won't be able to say anything even if he is forced.

"Thank you for your cooperation, you can go." Lu Yuan reached out to help him open the car door, and Lu Li jumped out of the car as if he had received an amnesty.

Lu Yuan looked at Meng Fanyu and didn't speak for a long time. The matter became more and more complicated. There was no progress in the matter of Lu Jie's disappearance, and now there was another hole.

"Comrade policeman, comrade policeman!" Lu Li folded back and patted on the car window.

"What do you remember?" Lu Yuan lowered the car window and looked at him.

"There is something, Lu Yuan...you...you are that child anyway. When you came out, you brought something out. It was a small stone bottle. No one would give it to you. The old daughter-in-law Lu beat him many times because of this, and shut him down. If you don’t come out of the room, from then on,” Lu Li pointed to his head, “It won’t work here…”
