This world is terrible

Chapter 100
In the rain, the middle-aged man hugged his son, his face showing the joy of regaining what was lost.

The icy rain fell, but it could not extinguish the vitality in his eyes at all.

"Xiao Yuan, where have you been this afternoon?"

Back in the lobby, after the brief joy of a family reunion, the couple immediately asked about their son's whereabouts.

Why didn't I find any trace of Xiao Yuan after searching the surrounding area?

Regarding this question, the boy's answer made people dumbfounded: "I ran into a room, then sat down, and accidentally fell asleep."

The house he mentioned refers to other courtyards in the farmhouse.Some of these courtyards are occupied by employees, while others are vacant or used to store sundries.

That being said, it makes sense.The family who had been threatened by the man with the earrings first discovered the disappearance of their son, and subconsciously thought it was an accident.

As a result, in the follow-up search, they focused on the outside world. Instead, it was dark under the lights, ignoring the courtyard itself inside the farmhouse.

"A false alarm, a false alarm."

The old man who came back from the back kitchen couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief after hearing the whole story.

Among the few people present, only Gao Yi didn't say a word.

As soon as the child appeared, he was ready to make a move and directly control the opponent.

But the following follow-up was puzzling. Gao Yi quickly checked the other party with [Mystery and Surprise], but he didn't find any traces related to mystery on Xiao Yuan's body.

So Gao Yi chose to hold back for the time being, and he wanted to follow up to observe the child's movements.

Perhaps the breakthrough point of this incident lies in Xiaoyuan!
"Damn it."

At the entrance of the lobby, there was a sudden curse, and everyone turned their heads to look, only to find that the person who came was the man with the earrings who had entered the mountain in the afternoon.

At this time, there was no place on his body that was not dripping water. Just looking at it made him feel extremely embarrassed, and he completely lost the frivolous and arrogant look he had when he forced the middle-aged man last night.

"Brother Shan, what's the matter?"

"Yes, didn't you take that man up the mountain, why didn't he come back?"

The young people immediately surrounded him with cheers.

"How does my mother know?"

The man with the earrings cursed again, looked around guiltily, and found that there was no figure of the alpaca monster, so he was relieved, and said quickly: "He is like a ghost, when I turn around, he disappears, Who knows where it went."

"Ashan, you won't really hit a ghost, will you?"

"Stop the bullshit."

The man with the earrings took off his wet coat, hung it outside the door, and called eagerly: "Waiter, waiter, come and order for me."

"Now this mountain is really not for people, it's cold and hungry."

At this time, the two groups of people sitting on both sides of the lobby finally came to an end and returned to the calm at noon.

Now they only need to wait until tomorrow morning before they can hike out of the mountain and try to seek rescue.

"It's getting late, you can tell the back kitchen to cook quickly."

The old man said to the shop owner: "Everyone is trapped, and their mentality is inevitably low. This dinner will be treated as our invitation."

The shop owner looked at the young man's table.

The old man was expressionless.

The shop owner looked understanding and walked towards the back kitchen.

In early spring, the days are short and the nights are long, not to mention the rainy season in the mountains.It was five o'clock in the afternoon, and it was completely dark outside.

The heavy rain showed no sign of decreasing. Along with the surging mountain wind, the cold just poured in, making everyone shiver.

It wasn't until the shop owner closed the door of the lobby that it felt a lot better.

"Come on, let's sit together and keep warm."

The old man greeted Gao Yi and the others, and they fought at the table.Then, he slowly pushed over a heater, plugged it in, and tried it to heat it up, before nodding in satisfaction.

There are ten people at this table.They are Gao Yi, his cousin, the father and son of the store owner, the middle-aged man's family, and three tourists from other places.

Ignoring the noise from the other side, the old man first smiled, and said casually, "Don't worry, tomorrow morning, our village will organize people to ask for help from the outside world."

"Before roads were built, we also communicated with the outside world. People of our older generation used to go over mountains and ridges to exchange things in big counties. They are very familiar with the roads."

"Nothing to worry about."

Hearing what he said, the sorrow on the faces of the others eased a little.

"The old man is right, what is there to worry about?"

The outsider in the peaked cap has a rough appearance and a straightforward temper. He immediately clapped his hands and echoed: "I think it's fate to be trapped with everyone here today. Why don't we introduce ourselves and get to know each other?"

"it is good."

As soon as these words came out, the other two foreigners spoke in different accents, and echoed them repeatedly, as if the three of them knew each other that way.

There is no Internet, idleness is idleness, and other people present naturally have no objection.

"Then start with me, my name is..."

Starting from the peaked cap, passing two other foreigners, and then the father and son of the store, one by one began to introduce themselves.

But Gao Yi was indifferent to this.At this time, his eyes were all focused on Xiao Yuan.

The few incidents that happened today are scattered like fragments. No matter how I piece them together, I can't come up with a tenable idea.

So he could only stare at Xiao Yuan, trying to find some clues from the lost child.

But it is a pity that since the other party came back, there was nothing abnormal.

This gave Gao Yi a headache.

It's really too difficult... Why can't these ghosts and monsters just do it?There is nothing here that can threaten its existence.

Why does it need to go so hard to isolate everything first?

Thinking about it from another angle, the subsequent impact of isolating everything is to make the people here have nowhere to escape.

Does this mean that...the other party is temporarily unable to deal with himself and others, so he first isolates the outside world and waits for a certain factor to be completed or lifted?
But it doesn't make sense, since the other party can destroy the Panshan Highway, why can't they deal with humans?
"Ayi?"

The cousin's voice rang in his ears, pulling Gao Yi back from his thoughts.

Only then did he realize that his eyes had been on Xiao Yuan for a while, which made the little boy very awkward.

"Sorry, I was thinking about something, so I was a little distracted." Gao Yi admitted generously, without any embarrassment.

Seeing that nothing happened, the middle-aged man cleared his throat and introduced himself: "Zhang Chaoxian, a member of Donghai Antique Appraisal Co., Ltd. Originally, he wanted to bring his family here to try something new before going to work, but he didn't expect to encounter such a thing. "

Having said that, he couldn't help but smiled wryly, with a look of emotion on his face that people are not as good as God.

Gao Yi glanced at him and thought his remarks were very interesting. He mentioned the name of the company he belonged to, but he only vaguely used a "personnel" about his specific situation.

It's pretty heavy to be on guard.

After a round of introductions, the ten people present are already familiar with each other.

Cousin: An office worker who just wants to live a peaceful life.

Gao Yi: An "ordinary" male high school student.

Under the enthusiastic guidance of the peaked cap, the atmosphere at the table gradually improved.

The heating made the lobby warm, and the waiters came with meals. For a moment, the farmhouse seemed to have returned to the leisure time in the past. The Internet was not disconnected, and the road was not closed, only the quiet years remained.

The old man even took out his homemade rice wine, wanting to give it to everyone to warm up.

Gao Yi didn't want them to relax their due vigilance because of drinking.

"cousin."

His seemingly inadvertent words resounded suddenly on the table.

"Tell me, why haven't those climbers come back yet?"

The old man stopped when he was about to pour the wine.

The atmosphere of the entire table froze for a moment.
