The Psychic Resurrection: Riding the Mirage
Chapter 107: Village in the Mountains
Xiao Yu drove to Lanqiong Mountain, but the car broke down halfway. In order not to waste time, she had to temporarily park the car at a nearby repair station and go to meet Yin Wenxian in person.
She was wearing light clothes and carrying a mountaineering bag. On the surface, she looked like an ordinary tourist.
But in fact, she had a mission. Spade Q asked her to temporarily stop her original work and be on standby at any time. Last night, Spade Q gave her a document of the ghost tomb and ordered her to go into the mountain to look for suspicious supernatural phenomena nearby.
She had to carry out this confusing mission. Fortunately, the missions given by Beidou in the past were also like this. It was just a bit of a pitfall. Xiao Yu didn't have the idea of deepening it. After making sufficient preparations, she went straight to Lanqiong Mountain.
When she was an ordinary person before, her family was very ordinary. She had imagined traveling all over the country, watching the magnificent rivers and mountains, and eating all the delicacies in the world, so she was not opposed to this kind of outdoor travel.
With the support of the poker organization, she was confident even if she was walking through the wilderness. The car breaking down was no big deal for her.
Standing at the foot of the mountain, Xiaoyu saw a shabby little car, and Yin Wenxian was leaning next to it, with an inexplicable look.
"This car is really... unique. Master Yin, are you bankrupt?" Xiaoyu stepped forward and joked.
Yin Wenxian sighed: "My original car broke down, and after changing the car, I encountered a car accident. I almost scrapped the car and the person. This journey was really difficult."
Xiaoyu couldn't laugh anymore: "Really? To be honest, my car also broke down halfway. Is this a coincidence, or is there something else going on?"
The two looked at each other. They have been looking for trouble with Beidou employees recently. Could it be that they were counterattacked? For those in their line of work, it is not a bad thing to be cautious. Some small details must not be neglected. Even if there is no clue for a while, this doubt must be firmly kept in mind.
Some time ago, a horror video went viral online. Some netizens pointed out that the video was shot in Lanqiong Mountain, so the number of tourists in the tourist attractions around Lanqiong Mountain has increased slightly in the past few days.
Xiaoyu and Yin Wenxian met a group of hikers on the road. They were carrying big bags and wearing mountaineering clothes. There were seven of them, talking and laughing all the way.
The leader was a round-faced girl wearing glasses. She was very outgoing. When she saw Xiaoyu and Yin Wenxian walking with them, she came over to say hello, "Hello, are you also here because of the video on the Internet?"
"What?" Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, "We are just here to travel, we don't know what the video is."
The round-faced girl took out her mobile phone and showed the video to Xiaoyu, "The woman in the video is called Ning Yun, she disappeared, and her whereabouts have not been found so far."
Xiaoyu raised her eyebrows: "So you are a spontaneous organization to rescue people?"
The round-faced girl sighed: "How is it possible! This deep mountain forest is so dangerous, professional work should be left to professionals, I came here to explore supernatural phenomena, those strange people in white clothes in the video are rumored to be the legendary ghosts and ghosts!"
"You are really curious..." Xiaoyu pulled the corner of his mouth. This girl must be someone who doesn't need to work and is financially free. She would come to such a desolate mountain to find trouble when she is extremely bored. But it was not a bad thing for Xiaoyu. She acted with these hikers and used them to conceal her identity. It was a good choice.
Shortly after entering the mountain, Yin Wenxian was the first to discover the abnormality, "Why is the road so wet? It seems to have rained heavily."
"No way, we checked the weather forecast before we came here. It has been sunny for the past half month. The road at the foot of the mountain was also very dry just now. There was no sign of rain." The round-faced girl said.
"Could it be a small-scale rainfall?" Xiaoyu was full of doubts. She didn't know about this, but there was indeed water on the mountain path and the surrounding trees. I remember watching a video online. Half of a street was raining and the other half was sunny, so she said this.
Several people were chatting, and as they were talking, a large dark cloud suddenly floated in the sky above their heads, and then the raindrops fell.
The sky suddenly became extremely dark. Fortunately, this tourist team had long been accustomed to outdoor survival and was not surprised by such things. They quickly set up the tent and everyone went into the tent to avoid the rain.
Yin Wenxian lowered his head and pretended to look at his phone, but actually took out the poker card with the Spade Queen in the corner. When Xiaoyu looked over, he only whispered: "I don't know how long this rain will last. It's too late. I'll talk to the boss to see if there is any solution."
Xiaoyu nodded. If there is a problem, go to the organization, but I don't know if the poker organization has the ability to interfere with the weather.
Wait, isn't Yin Wenxian trying to test how powerful the poker is?
The rain didn't last too long. It only rained for a short while and then stopped. Yin Wenxian looked very excited and nodded slightly to Xiaoyu.
Everyone got up and discussed it. They decided to continue walking along the original tourist route, enjoying the scenery and taking pictures along the way. They didn't choose a leeward place behind the hillside as a camp until they were tired. There was a river nearby.
The camping site was ideal. Someone originally suggested setting up the tent along the river bank, but the round-faced girl said that it had just rained, and if it rained again later, the area near the river might be flooded by the rising water.
The group quickly cleaned up the site, lit a bonfire, boiled water and cooked rice. The water in the pan on the tripod gradually boiled. Xiaoyu sat aside, staring at the flames below to absorb heat, and chewed on biscuits. The food she prepared was relatively simple, just enough to fill her stomach.
"Here, this is for you..." The round-faced girl held a plate with hot food in it. This was prepared by their group of hikers. Xiaoyu and the other person followed them all the way. They were all rich and would not be stingy with this little thing.
"Thank you!" Xiaoyu had a good impression of this small group. They thought Xiaoyu and Yin Wenxian were also ordinary hikers, but they didn't know that the two came here for another purpose.
The information provided by Spade Q was vague, and there was no detailed explanation of what abnormal phenomena would be encountered, but Xiaoyu and Yin Wenxian looked confident, especially since the rain had just stopped smoothly, they were further sure that they had embraced a golden thigh.
After eating and drinking, Xiaoyu and Yin Wenxian stayed in a place to rest. When it was getting dark, a scream suddenly came into their ears.
"Oh no!" The round-faced girl looked flustered, "Something bad has happened. I saw a person floating down from the upper reaches of the river."
Her expression was ugly. A group of people were playing by the bonfire, and suddenly they saw a person floating on the water and drifting down the river. No one would be happy if they encountered such a thing while traveling.
Although the light was dim and they could not see the specific situation clearly, they could still roughly distinguish that it was probably a victim who fell into the water. The person was holding a piece of driftwood tightly in his hand, and it was unknown whether he was dead or alive.
This is a big mountain. If you want to call the police or an ambulance, you need to wait for a long time. If the victim is still alive, he may die of hypothermia if he soaks in cold water for a long time.
Many people present can swim, but... they dare not go into the water in this environment and weather. They can help others appropriately, but they will not risk their lives to help others.
But this kind of thing is a piece of cake for Xiaoyu and Yin Wenxian.
Yin Wenxian took off his coat, moved his hands and feet, entered the water carefully, took a deep breath, and quickly moved towards the target. The victim did not look very old. Yin Wenxian grabbed one of his arms and quickly pulled him back to the shore. The whole process took less than three minutes. Everyone was shocked and called him a master!
At this moment, a flashlight suddenly shone from not far away. Two men came from far away. One of them was a plain-looking man. Next to him was a man wearing an armband with the "forest ranger" logo written on it.
"Who are you?" The ranger asked with a frown.
The round-faced girl explained: "We are here to travel and happened to pick up a person who fell into the water."
Xiaoyu and Yin Wenxian were busy saving people. They lifted the drowned person to the shore, leaned over to listen to his heartbeat, and found that he was still alive, but temporarily unconscious.
Yin Wenxian looked carefully and found that the drowned person had injuries on his hands and feet and was covered with bruises.
Just as Yin Wenxian was checking if the man had any other hidden injuries, the forest ranger and the common-looking man came over.
"This man is injured, why not send him to our village to rest first? There is an outpatient clinic in the village, and the doctor lives in the clinic, so he can be treated now." The common-looking man who called himself Liu Jun said honestly, "The village is not far from here. Do you want to go to the village guesthouse to rest together? It's too dangerous to sleep in the wild."
His attitude was very sincere and warm-hearted, which moved the hikers present. They didn't expect that the villagers living in the mountains would be so enthusiastic. The people headed by the round-faced girl agreed to it. Living in the mountain village is like experiencing farm fun.
"Why do I remember that there is no village nearby?" Someone muttered in a low voice. The person who spoke seemed to have been to Lanqiong Mountain before. When the voice reached Xiaoyu's ears, she subconsciously narrowed her eyes and winked at Yin Wenxian.
Obviously Liu Jun also heard this, and a barely perceptible cold light flashed in his eyes. He looked at the forest ranger beside him, "There are few people in our village, and young people don't want to leave here. Most of them have moved to the city. It's normal that you haven't heard of it."
"How about we go and see the situation first, and make sure that the village is okay before coming back to pick you up?" Xiao Yu whispered, clearly distrusting Liu Jun.
"No need." The group of travelers thought Xiao Yu was making a fuss. After all, there were quite a lot of people in their group, and they all carried some weapons on them. They were originally to guard against wild beasts, and they were not afraid that these villagers would have bad intentions.
Xiao Yu thought about it and stopped persuading. After experiencing those supernatural events, although she still maintained her bottom line in her bones, she didn't care about the life and death of ordinary people as much as before, and her heart had long been numb.
Whether she would encounter danger next was not something she could predict. Although she noticed something was wrong, those hikers didn't care, so what could she say?
"Let's go together." Yin Wenxian said calmly. Based on his sixth sense, he also felt that the next journey would not be wonderful, and there was a high possibility of encountering troubles, but his mission was to explore troubles. Anyway, he had something to rely on. The poker card with the Queen of Spades could be used to contact his boss urgently and summon a door. Nothing was unsolvable.
"Everyone, we're here. This is our village..." After walking for about half an hour, everyone did see a village.
Yin Wenxian carried the unconscious drowning person on his back. Xiaoyu looked around. The village seemed to have only one road leading to the outside world. It was probably due to years of disrepair, and it was very dilapidated with potholes.
"Leave the man to me. I'll take him to the clinic." Liu Jun took the drowning person from Yin Wenxian's back and walked briskly to the clinic.
The sky was gloomy, and the whole village was empty. There was no artificial light source, only this clinic was brightly lit.
The tour group chatted and chattered, but Xiaoyu and Yin Wenxian subconsciously tensed their bodies. Since entering the village, they had noticed something was wrong. It was too quiet here. Even if it was a remote mountain village, there shouldn't be no sound at all, right?
The desolate mountains, the village without lights, and the strange environment where even the sound of insects could not be heard all stimulated the nerves of the two.
On the other hand, the tour group on the side looked relaxed, and no one noticed the abnormality of the environment.
"Excuse me, where is the toilet? I'm in a hurry." Someone in the team suddenly asked.
Liu Jun pointed in a direction, and the man dragged another companion and ran over in a hurry.
The doctor in the clinic carefully examined the drowning person, "It's not a big problem. He just fell asleep temporarily because of excessive fatigue. Just hang a bottle of glucose and hypertonic saline later. He needs to rest quietly for the time being. Don't disturb him."
"Okay." Everyone responded.
"It's getting late. I'll take everyone to the guesthouse to rest." Liu Jun smiled.
Everyone didn't doubt him. The so-called guesthouse was a small house opposite the outpatient clinic. It was a bit old, but it was cleaned very well. Several people found a room and went in. Xiaoyu reminded them to lock the door at night.
After entering the room and locking the door, Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief. When she stood near the clinic before, she always felt that she was being watched by a looming gaze. There seemed to be countless invisible people in the dark room without lights, peeping at her.
Could this be an illusion? Or was there really someone secretly monitoring her?
No matter which situation it was, Xiaoyu was not careless at the moment. She kept in touch with Yin Wenxian through her mobile phone at all times. When it was late at night, she quietly left the room and met Yin Wenxian outside...
