Strange talk about the rules: I fast travel with my deskmate

Chapter 87: Exploring the Mountain Village (28)

On the edge of the wild orchard ditch, the mother of the second dog was crying with the father of the second dog, and Huang Qian persuaded him while wiping away tears.

"Mom, stop crying and arrange the funeral for my dad. You can't be broken. You are the only one left for our siblings..."

Xu Lingze walked over, and the second dog mother grabbed his hand.

"Er Gou, your dad is gone, your dad is gone...he left us mother and three, how can we live..."

"Mom, don't cry..."

Xu Lingze really couldn't cry, he could only watch helplessly, frowning and pretending to be sad.

It is very close to the cornfield of Ergou's family. It seems that Ergou's father was indeed killed by wild animals.

However, the second dog's father has a lot of meat on his body, but there are scars on his neck and arms.

The fatal place should be the wound on the neck, which bled a lot.

Beasts hurt people, not to fill their stomachs?
The people around talked a lot, but they still couldn't cover the crying of the second dog mother.

"Old Huang is alright? Why was he killed by wild wolves? A big man, can't he escape?"

"That's right! It's not far from the village..."

"We have to be careful in the future, it's better not to go out to work alone."

……

Xu Lingze looked around and found a bunch of stray hairs.

Could this be the variegated fox?
Is it because the second dog father met a variegated fox and chose to ignore it, so he was killed because he violated the rules?

After a while, the village head brought people and took away the body of the second dog father.The second dog mother held Xu Lingze and Huang Qian's hands tightly, crying and walking home.

"Village Chief! Village Chief!"

An uncle came over on a bicycle, "Village chief! There are also dead people in the wasteland to the east!"

"what?"

Uncle Pan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly led people over.

More and more people in the village are dying, and rules and strange stories are spreading and infiltrating.

Xiong Qingqing walked to the intersection of the mountain and walked up the mountain road. Unexpectedly, the Zushan didn't look high, and it was quite strenuous to climb up.

In October, golden fallen leaves cover the mountain roads.

There are often birds chirping in the mountains and forests, which is quiet and pleasant.

Xiong Qingqing came all the way to the top of the mountain, and he saw an altar, it was not a ruined wall, but it was also dilapidated and desolate.

The total height of the altar is about five meters, and there are five stone pillars about three meters high standing on it. There are patterns carved on the stone pillars. Right in front of the entrance of the altar, there is a stone incense tripod.

Stepping up the moss-stained stone steps, Xiong Qingqing called Pan Yangyang's name, but there was no response.So she looked around again, but couldn't find it.

"Pan Yangyang!"

She yelled hard, and her voice echoed in the mountains.

Pan Yangyang still didn't respond, she hurriedly turned on the call button on the ring, and Xu Lingze heard the cry of the second dog mother.

"Xu Lingze, I've reached the top of the mountain, but I didn't find Pan Yangyang."

Xu Lingze squeezed out of the overcrowded room and came to the backyard. The big yellow dog looked at him and barked twice.

"Is there an altar on the top of the mountain?"

"Yes, this altar looks quite old. I called Pan Yangyang several times, but she didn't answer me."

Xu Lingze had an ominous premonition, "Could it be that he was killed? Or... went home?"

"It shouldn't be going home. There is only one way into the mountain. If she goes home, I will definitely meet her."

"Then I will enter the space now, and you will take me out later."

"it is good."

Xu Lingze looked at no one around, turned on the space key and walked into the space.

The big yellow dog in the yard watched the big living person disappear, and barked several times, as if frightened.

On the top of Zushan, Xiong Qingqing opened the space key and picked up Xu Lingze.

Xu Lingze looked around, and the scenery on the top of the mountain was almost clear at a glance, only a few old trees and an altar.

"I just checked my phone, but there is no signal." Xiong Qingqing said.

Xu Lingze opened his wrist and looked at his watch. Xiong Qingqing's counterfeit watch still had a weak signal.

"How much is Pan Zi's phone number? You still have a signal on this watch, see if you can make a call."

Xiong Qingqing told Xu Lingze his phone number, and after Xu Lingze dialed, he took off his watch and gave it to Xiong Qingqing.

"Huh? I said?"

"Ah."

When Pan Zi saw the call from "Cousin Jingyue", he didn't want to answer it, but he did.

"Hello? Who is it?"

"Pan Zi! I'm Xiong...I'm Jingyue! Is your sister back home?"

"No? Why did you call me on your cousin's mobile phone? Did your cousin come to the village to pick you up?"

"When your sister goes back, you must call me, just call this number!"

"Eh? Sister Yueyue, what's going on..."

Before Pan Zi finished speaking, Xiong Qingqing hung up the phone.

Xu Lingze took the watch, put it on his wrist, and analyzed: "If the mission fails, we don't need to stay in this scene anymore. Now that we haven't gone back, it proves that Pan Yangyang is not dead yet."

"Well, it makes sense. But... where can Pan Yangyang go?" Xiong Qingqing was very anxious.

"On the way here, we met human traffickers Niu Da and Niu Er, which proved that Pan Yangyang was not taken away by them either. Pan Zi should not have lied, and it is possible that Pan Yangyang lied. She never came to the top of the mountain." Xu Lingze said .

"Then let's go down the mountain."

Xiong Qingqing was about to leave when a crow flew over and landed on the branch of an old tree next to the altar.

"Brother Crow! Is that you?" Xiong Qingqing was a little excited.

Seeing this, Xu Lingze opened the space and put on another animal language translator inside.

The crow called twice, and at the same time a voice came from the translator.

"It's me! It's me!"

"Brother Crow, have you seen Pan Yangyang? It's Pan Zi's sister in your village. She just returned to the village yesterday." Xiong Qingqing asked.

"I saw her go up the hill," replied the crow.

"Ah? But she's not here!" Xiong Qingqing was surprised.

This time the crow didn't answer, but just called twice meaninglessly.

"Could it be that his feet slipped and fell from the top of the mountain?" Xiong Qingqing said, continuing to search around.

Xu Lingze walked up the stone steps of the altar, squatted down and looked at the ground of the altar, and found a footprint.

This footprint does not belong to Xiong Qingqing, it should be another girl.

"Pan Yangyang has indeed been here."

After finishing speaking, Xu Lingze stood up and began to study the altar.

Xiong Qingqing turned around and saw this scene, and hurried over and grabbed his arm.

"Xu Lingze, what are you doing! The rules say, we can't study the altar on the top of the mountain!"

"You just took a look around. If Pan Yangyang slipped and fell, there must be some traces, right? There is nothing, which proves that Pan Yangyang didn't fall. The two of us, one of us must break the rules now, maybe You can find Pan Yangyang. You go down the mountain, I will study the top of the mountain and see what will happen. If something happens, it is still the old way, use space to take me away."

Xiong Qingqing hesitated for a while, then nodded, "Then I'll look elsewhere to see if I can find it, and you should be careful."
