Chapter 160 The Missing Tourist

Perhaps because this restaurant is located on the edge of the village, there are also passers-by resting and eating here. Five men got out of an off-road vehicle and stared at Yue Xinxin and Bai Mao Ling'er intently.

Xiao Hei was very unhappy. He walked over and hugged the white cat Ling'er into his arms, staring at the men.

The men looked nonchalant, but instead laughed and laughed.

After Xu Xiangyang got off the car, he walked around the front and back doors of the restaurant in accordance with professional habits. He also looked at the off-road vehicle with a foreign license plate, and then called Xiao Hei and White Cat Ling'er into the restaurant.

When the group saw Xu Xiangyang, they looked him up and down, and their cynical expressions softened slightly.

Xiao Hei secretly said to Xu Xiangyang: "You have words carved on your face? They seem a little afraid of you."

Xu Xiangyang did not comment, Yue Xinxin smiled and said: "You don't have to look at what Yangzi did in the past. Although he has no words on his face, he has a deterrent force on his body. Not to mention ordinary people are afraid of him, and ghosts have to avoid him. "

Xu Xiangyang corrected: "Why was it in the past? It's not the case now?"

"Yes, yes! Boss, order!"

Yue Xinxin called to the kitchen, and a fat man with thinning hair came out with a smile on his face.

"What do you want to eat? Our Shanglin specialties: braised chicken, stir-fried pork with dried bamboo shoots, and minced meat with smooth eggs are all delicious!"

"Everyone has one. Is there any fish?" Yue Xinxin looked at Xiao Hei and White Cat Ling'er and asked the fat boss.

"No."

"If there isn't a river in front of the village, how can there be no fish?"

The fat boss had a frown on his face and hesitated to speak.

"There are fish, but... we don't dare to catch them and eat them."

"why?"

"This is..."

The fat boss looked at everyone's eager expressions and couldn't bear to stop talking, so he could only sigh.

"Hi! That's what happened. There used to be our ancestral graves in Shanglin and Xialin on a high ground by the river, but one rain washed away a large area of ​​the ancestral graves, and all the bones washed into the river to feed the fish. Since then, No one will catch fish to eat.”

Everyone shook their heads and sighed, expressing regret for this matter.

But the fat boss started chatting, gave the menu to the chef, and sat down to continue chatting.

According to his recollection, in fact, the rain that day was not heavy and it did not rain for a long time. But what was strange was that when the villagers woke up early in the morning, a large tomb on the high ground actually collapsed by [-]% to [-]%. The rotten coffins, burial vessels, and Rotten cotton wool, bedding, clothing, shoes and socks were all scattered on the ground.

"They all say this is retribution!" The fat boss said this in a very low voice and in a hateful tone.

Everyone looked at each other, why?
"Because of development!" The fat boss made a vague circle with his hand, indicating the surroundings of Shanglin and Xialin.

"Isn't it normal to engage in development? Development is happening all over the country."

The fat boss shook his head repeatedly.

"The upper forest is different from the lower forest. A Feng Shui master once came here and said that the upper and lower forests are covered with ghost houses within a hundred miles. In the past, they were probably the cemetery of a certain prince and noble, but it is not fashionable now, but Feng Shui This is still the Feng Shui, it’s not appropriate to disturb the situation!”

Everyone was silent. Of course they knew why this place was so full of yin energy that it was judged to be suitable for a tomb.

Yue Xinxin felt strange: "But we looked all the way and the tourism project in Xialin Village is very popular!"

The fat boss snorted and rolled his eyes.

"The trouble was caused by them, that's why it rained and washed away the ancestral graves! Moreover, people died there, which caused our Shanglin project to be suspended as well. Now my restaurant has no business, and it's not all them. Harmful!"

"Someone died?" The fat boss sighed, took a sip of tea and continued talking.

"The cave scenic spot in Xialin is very popular, and its reputation has spread abroad. Many tourist groups come here to play. Two years ago, a Korean group came. It was very evil. There were 12 people when they entered the cave, and the tour guide counted them when they came out. Count, there are only twelve! The tour guide was frightened and quickly adjusted the surveillance, but each camera captured only 13 people, and it seemed that No. [-] did not exist!"

"Did you not enter the hole?"

"Impossible! All the members remember the hole the man entered together, but no one can tell when he disappeared later!"

"You think people are dead?"

"Anyway, he has never appeared after so many years. Because he is a foreign friend, the government took it very seriously and immediately closed the Xialin Scenic Area and also stopped the project we were developing in Shanglin. But later, the Xialin Scenic Area reopened. Our project was not picked up, and it remains unfinished until now.”

At this point, the fat boss let out another long sigh.

“A la carte!”

When the five men who got off the off-road vehicle saw no one to greet them, they slapped the table and yelled. The fat boss quickly got up to apologize.

Yue Xinxin lowered her voice and said: "Shanglin is not developed, so it is convenient for us to enter the mountain. Let's leave after eating!"

The antlered girl looked at the sky outside the window.

"It seems like it's going to rain. It might be difficult for the car to drive on the mountain road."

The chassis of their van is not too high, so it is really difficult to travel on bumpy mountain roads.

To say that their group of people are not ordinary people, and their way will not be blocked by rain, but a tour group braves the rain to enter an undeveloped scenic spot?I was afraid that if the villagers along the road saw me, I would be suspicious, so I decided to stay in a hotel nearby for one night.

The rain stopped in the middle of the night, and the van was back on the road early the next morning.

The drive was very slow, almost stop-and-go, and Yue Xinxin needed to get off the car from time to time to find a high ground to observe the surrounding landscape.

Compared with the lively Xialin Village, the deserted Shanglin Village has changed even more.

A corner of some mountains was blown open, and the stones were taken away to be used as infrastructure materials for the Xialin tourism project. The yellow-brown bedrock was exposed in the green forest, like a ferocious scar.

Some rivers are blocked by dams and serve as sources of drinking water for large inflows of the population.

Many native forests were cut down, either as timber exports, or turned into cash crop fields, or just to make way for a tourism development project. However, in the end the project was unfinished and all kinds of cement, stones, foam plastics and other building materials were used. Heaped in the middle of the woodland, ignored.

Yue Xinxin thought hard and couldn't put the scene in front of her back together with her memory. If she hadn't confirmed that this was the original Gulin Village, she would have suspected that she had gone to the wrong place.

Xu Xiangyang comforted her: "It's okay, don't be in a hurry, just look for it slowly."

Xiao Hei suggested: "Should we go back to the forest, maybe over there?"

The deer-antler girl and the white cat Ling'er also felt that they were walking too hastily in the forest and might have missed something.

While everyone was talking endlessly, Chen Mo, who had been keeping quiet, suddenly spoke.

"No, I think it's around here."

Seeing everyone looking at him in surprise, Chen Mo took out some items from the backpack he had always carried with him. Yue Xinxin understood at the first sight that they were items used by Ling'er placed in the study compartment.

"What did you sense? Or did the soul summoning have an effect?" she asked quickly.

Chen Mo shook his head. "It doesn't work. I can't sense anything exactly, just a very vague intuition."

"Then let's wander around in the mountains, we can always find it!"
