Chapter 221 Who is it
The call was quickly connected.
Li Ziru seemed to have expected that He Wenzhi would specifically ask him, and he roughly guessed what he would ask.
So he calculated things about Han Yumeng and her missing father in advance.
Only this time, nothing was calculated.
After learning what was going on, He Wenzhi also felt a little regretful.
At this time, Li Ziru said: "Ask my little friend, although I have calculated it once before, I couldn't calculate much that time.
That incident about Grandpa Li Weidong , it is impossible to make a conclusion whether it is related to Han Yumeng's borrowing of life.
Whether there will be a secret realm coming to [Misty Forest], judging from the current situation, there should be no."
He Wenzhi nodded, first responded, and then asked: "So about this. Is there any other more detailed information? ”
"That's all for now. If you are really interested, you can go there by yourself." Li Ziru said.
Then he sent another message to He Wenzhi.
That is the detailed address of the place where the incident occurred. It is not too far away, just next door to the Spring Market, the Qiu Market.
"Okay, I understand." He Wenzhi nodded again, and then thanked him: "Thank you, Senior Li."
"You're welcome." Li Ziru smiled.
The two chatted for a few more words before hanging up the phone.
He Wenzhi looked at the time, it was just after six in the morning.
He glanced left and right. Han Yumeng was still sleeping, and Huang Xiaoyan was also resting.
After thinking about it, he did not disturb them, but went downstairs to have breakfast, then sent a message to them both, and then drove away.
According to the message from Li Ziru, He Wenzhi turned on the location on his mobile phone and rushed towards Qiushi.
Doukui Town, Bailu County, Qiushi, is the destination this time.
According to the route planning on the navigation, drive all the way from He Wenzhi’s current location. As long as there are no accidents on the road, the journey will be smooth.
Start in the morning and arrive in the afternoon.
The car slowly drove out of the community, and then turned right. It was still early, so even in the city, there was no need to worry about traffic jams.
When he was about to leave the city, He Wenzhi filled up the car with gas.
I thought I could reach Doukui Town smoothly, but I didn't expect that halfway through the car, the weather suddenly changed and it started pouring rain.
And as time goes by, the rain becomes heavier and heavier.
Sitting in the car, big raindrops pattered on the car window, knocking and making a sound.
This torrential rain seemed to have no intention of stopping. In the blink of an eye, there was a roar from the sky and the earth. Looking out through the car window, the thick clouds in the sky seemed to have formed a huge funnel, and these The violent wind and rain poured down from there.
Seeing this scene, He Wenzhi couldn't help but frown.
He had been driving for several hours. Under normal circumstances, he would have reached Bailu County by this time.
But it was because of this sudden and terrible heavy rain that some of the trip was delayed.
The main reason was that the heavy rain kept falling, the road was slippery, and the visibility was also very low.
He Wenzhi glanced slightly and saw that the road he was on at this time was a mountain road.
On the left is the hillside, on the right is the guardrail, and below is the abyss.
Going further, there is a tunnel.
As long as you exit that tunnel, you are within the scope of Bailu County.
He Wenzhi didn't think much and continued to drive seriously.
But when he passed through the tunnel and continued to drive forward for about half an hour, he found that there were many cars parked on the road ahead, and they seemed to be blocked there.
He was a little strange and looked outside carefully.
At this time, you can still see some people holding umbrellas or wearing raincoats looking outside at something.
Not long after, perhaps seeing the car that He Wenzhi had just driven over, a man in a raincoat came over and knocked on his car window.
"Hello." He Wenzhi opened the car window, first said hello, and then asked: "What happened in front? Why is there such a traffic jam?"
That one The man in the raincoat said: "I just went to see it. The one in front There was a landslide on the hillside, and it was immediately blocked."
"And!" The man's expression changed slightly, and he said, "The collapse was so sudden, and a car was buried. Inside, I heard there is a family of four..."
"Have everyone been rescued?" He Wenzhi asked after hearing this.
"The person has been rescued, but this road will definitely be impassable today." The man continued: "It's raining so damn heavy, there will definitely be no way to get there for a while. I’ll have to wait till tomorrow at the earliest.”
Hearing this, He Wenzhi couldn’t help but frown again.
Following that, he looked up and down at the man wearing a raincoat outside the car window.
This is a man who looks to be in his thirties.
Seeing that the other party was looking at him, the man just smiled, and then said: "Brother, there is a branch road over there. There is a village not too far away if you drive in. Do you want to consider staying there for a night?"
He Wenzhi said nothing, just looked at him silently.
Seeing this, the man said: "Don't get me wrong, I also heard what others said. We have already discussed it with several people just now and are going to spend the night in that village. If you are willing, you can go together. No. Forget it if you are willing.”
Hearing this, He Wenzhi hesitated for a moment and finally nodded.
It’s not an option to waste time here, and you’ve already come here, so if you say you want to turn back now, you definitely won’t want to.
"Okay, then you will join us in a few cars. Those are the white, black and yellow cars." The man pointed to the cars next to him.
Those cars also opened their windows slightly, and the people inside waved to them.
The man said again: "I just want to find a few people to hang out with. I have no other meaning. Don't think too much about it."
"Okay, I got it." He Wenzhi nodded and said nothing. Say anything more.
The man didn't say anything anymore, but returned to his car.
At this time, a car honked its horn and then turned towards a small side road.
Following them, the cars mentioned just now also followed, followed closely by He Wenzhi.
Sure enough, after driving for more than ten minutes, through the dense raindrops, we could see some houses and buildings.
Soon, several cars drove into the village, followed by a person who got out of the car and found a four-and-a-half-story red brick house.
He knocked on the door first, and after opening it, a man appeared there.
After talking for a while, the man waved to everyone.
This has been discussed.
Everyone got out of the car and ran quickly into the red brick house.
The owner of the house is an old man with gray hair, dark skin, and wrinkles on his face and hands.
He seems to be the only one living in this house.
After a few people came in, the old man was very enthusiastic, heating water for them to keep them away from the cold, and preparing hot meals and dishes.
Several older men felt a little embarrassed when they saw an old man going through such troubles and doing so much for them.
So they went up to let the uncle rest. They could also do such things as boiling water and cooking.
Following that, while everyone was cooking, they chatted with the uncle for a while.
This village is called Huaishui Village, and he currently lives in this house alone.
His wife passed away two years ago, and his son works in the city, so he is the only one at home for a long time.
After all, he is an old man. With his children and grandchildren not around him, he will inevitably feel lonely after being alone for a long time. Now that he has several young people coming to stay with him at home, it makes him quite happy.
It is also for this reason that he is so enthusiastic towards everyone.
Supper was ready soon, and several people sat around a table to eat. The uncle also brought out some wine and asked everyone to drink a little, and he also ate and drank together.
During the period, everyone asked where they were going.
Everyone wants to go to a different place, but they all happen to pass this road.
He Wenzhi did not elaborate that he was going to Doukui Town. He only said that he was from Bailu County and was just going home on this trip.
When several people heard this, someone asked: "Are you from Bailu County? Do you know about Doukui Town, Bailu County?"
Hearing this, He Wen frowned. Picked it up and nodded.
“Have you heard of the rumor that a mountain over there in Doukui Town is surrounded by white mist?”
"Aren't you a local there? Do you know any gossip?"
For a while, everyone's eyes turned to He Wenzhi, who seemed very curious.
"Speaking of which, I feel like there were more weird things this year, but in the end there didn't seem to be any accidents..." one person said.
“Yes, it seems to have started in May, with that meteor shower.”
“Yes, there were a lot of things circulating on the Internet at that time, but they were all gone in the end. ”
"I just don't know what's going on in Doukui Town."
They were talking in a hurry. He Wenzhi was also a little curious, so he shook his head and said, "I don't know. I haven’t been back for a long time, and I haven’t heard much about it. You know what to negotiate, so tell me.”
“Brother, you are not Bailu County. Are you a local? When you call back, no one tells you these things?”
He Wenzhi: “I’m so busy at work, I’m as tired as a dog, so I just call back.” To report that he is safe, at most it means that the parents are in conflict with each other, and not to mention other worries..."
He looked melancholy, and it was as if what he said was true.
Upon hearing this, the brothers also sighed, seeming to feel the same way.
Following that, they talked about their knowledge of [Misty Forest].
Actually, they don’t know much at all. They just like to surf the Internet, so they learned some gossip from the Internet.
There was a video at the beginning, but it was later deleted.
Now there is less discussion on the Internet about this matter.
At this time, the uncle who had been silent suddenly said, "I have heard of that."
When everyone heard this, they all turned their heads to look.
"Uncle, please tell me quickly, we are quite interested in this kind of thing!"
Feeling everyone's eager eyes, the uncle smiled knowingly.
He took a sip of wine and started talking.
"It was haunted...it happened decades ago..."
That year, the uncle was still young.
He vaguely remembered that a man came to their village holding a child.
There was also a Taoist priest who came with me.
At the beginning, nothing happened, and the Taoist priest often came back to see the father and son.
But after the Taoist priest left, strange things often happened in the village.
For example, domestic animals died mysteriously, dogs in the whole village barked collectively in the middle of the night, etc.
Fortunately, no one was killed.
Only one time later, it rained in the village for several days. After the rain stopped, thick white mist enveloped the entire village.
This white mist lasted for many days.
During that time, a hoarse woman's voice could be heard calling "child" faintly every night.
This voice is very unpleasant, but also very eerie.
The white mist finally slowly disappeared until the man left with his child.
“At the beginning, we didn’t know that there was a problem with the father and son, but after those things, it became clear.
But at that time, we didn’t know where he had gone with the child. , Now that I think about it, I probably went to Doukui Town." The old man said, taking out a pack of cigarettes and giving one to everyone before lighting one for himself.
"What happened next? Master, is it over here?" someone asked.
The uncle smiled, exhaled a puff of smoke, and then his expression became serious.
"It's not over, but I'm not sure about that because I haven't been approached yet." The uncle said.
"What exactly is it?" These people were obviously intrigued.
The uncle took another sip of wine and then said: "Although the white mist disappeared that time, the voice of the hoarse woman calling 'child' also disappeared with it..."
But not long after, on a rainy night, the woman appeared again.
It is said that someone saw a woman in white with disheveled hair standing in the rain. The cold rain hit her body, but she didn't care at all.
She stares at the surroundings with her eyes. If she sees someone with a child, she will immediately pounce on them like crazy.
Beyond that.
Also in the dead of night, if you hear a knock on the door in the middle of the night, never open the door.
Because...it's very likely that the person knocking on the door will be that woman.
The most important thing is that that woman...she is not a human at all!
The old man told this, and everyone listened with interest.
Perhaps they heard something they were interested in, and the old man was really enthusiastic, so everyone couldn't help but drink a few more drinks.
After drinking and eating, everyone felt a little dizzy, so they went to the room that the old man had prepared at the beginning, and they fell asleep.
The old man has not been so lively and happy for a long time. He drank a few more drinks today and went back to his house to sleep.
Just like that, time passed by minute by minute.
It was still raining heavily outside the window, and the raindrops were pattering constantly, which had quite a sleep-promoting effect.
It’s just that it’s the hot summer in August, but for some reason, the temperature tonight is extremely low, and it always feels a bit cold, giving people goosebumps all over their bodies.
Looking through the window, the trees were swaying in the wind in the midnight wind and rain, and the swaying branches and leaves seemed to be blown away.
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Dong dong dong!
Dong dong dong!
The knocking on the door continued without stopping at all, as if the knocking would continue as long as the door was not opened.
When He Wenzhi heard this voice, he immediately sat up.
He not only remembered the story the old man told during dinner today.
He thought for a moment, then got up and got out of bed.
I just opened the door and saw that the lights were on outside.
Looking carefully, it turned out that the old man was also awakened by the knock on the door.
But at this moment, he seemed a little confused, yawning, and was about to walk towards the door.
When He Wenzhi saw this, he hurriedly walked up.
At this time, he suddenly thought of something.
This village is called Huaishui Village. Didn’t the original pair of male and female corpses come from Huaishui Village in Qiushi?
And judging from the video I watched this morning, if Li Mao’s wife wanted to take her life, wouldn’t she be in Doukui Town now?
And Li Weidong’s sons have been taken away.
But judging from what the old man said tonight, the long-haired woman in white clothes who appeared in Huaishui Village should be Li Mao's wife, right?
If this is true, then who is over there in Doukui Town?
Who caused the thick white fog, and who took away Li Weidong’s son?
With this in mind, He Wenzhi pulled the old man behind him and signaled him to be silent.
At present, it seems that there are still many doubts.
But if it is really the long-haired woman in white outside the door, then maybe we can figure something out. (End of this chapter)
