Chapter Eleven The Cave
After climbing over two mountains, a few houses in the valley not far away came into view. "It's ahead! You can arrive in another hour!" It seems that Cui Liyan is in good physical strength. Except for the little sweat on his forehead, he doesn't even breathe.
"Those houses... are they a village?" Zhang Guozhong picked up the telescope and counted roughly. There were twelve rooms, even if there were five people in one room, there were only sixty people, which was smaller than the shizi village in Bashan...
"Changling is the smallest village in Lintan, with only 43 people in the whole village! Administratively, Shangtan Village is under the management of the administration, but basically nothing to manage..." Cui Liyan waved his hand and everyone continued to rush forward.
As the saying goes, the horses are dead when they look at the mountain. When they see Changling Village, they even go through more roads than before. The mountain roads are extremely rugged. Most of the roads are not considered roads at all. At most, they are just flat grass. Zhang Yicheng's newly bought white Nike shoes was spent in a while. "I told you to wear sneakers! You have to wear this one! Are you dirty?" Zhang Guozhong kept sarcastic, "I tell you, you can't buy new ones within two years...!"
"Tsk! Do you like to buy it or not? I'll ask my mother to buy it for me!" Zhang Yicheng was still dissatisfied.
"Your mother!? Hehe, I don't believe it!" In front of Cui Liyan, Zhang Guozhong was not embarrassed to say how much this pair of shoes cost, but in short, if Li Erya is willing to spend more than 1,400 yuan to buy a pair of shoes, the earth can turn backwards.
At around 3 pm, the entrance of Changling Village.
Although it looks small from a distance, when you get closer, the village covers at least a large area. According to the "floor area ratio" of modern real estate, the floor area ratio of each resident's house is estimated to be less than 0.1*. There is also a circle of fences around the village. It is said that Shangtan Village sent someone to repair it, which is the decoration. Moreover, in this deep mountains and forests, no one steals the door at home. Who should I guard against when repairing the fence?
There were not many people in the village, and I don’t know whether they were going out or staying in the house. In the village’s smallest yard, a man was lying on the straw mat at the door of the house. When he was far away, he looked like a dead body was parked. "Here, that person is Dashou Liu!" Cui Liyan smiled and shouted loudly on the edge of the yard. He said 80 decibels. Zhang Guozhong’s eardrums were heard for a while. He thought that he could not be so close to him. Did this kid sing bel canto before?
What everyone did not expect was that the big hand Liu did not suddenly wake up as he imagined, but turned over and kicked his legs twice - and then fell asleep. Helplessly, Cui Liyan directly opened the fence door and walked into the yard, squatted down and pushed it for a full minute. The big hand Liu sat up slowly. Seeing Cui Liyan, there was a silly smile on his face, and stood up and took a big sack of medicinal materials from the door and handed it over.
"It's not about collecting medicinal materials!" Cui Liyan frowned, "Where do you remember the two dead people you saw in the mountains a few years ago?"
"Diet?" Liu Jieying thought for a long time, "Oh...!! Remember! The police are coming!"
"These people want to meet them, you can take us there!" Cui Liyan said.
"Oh! OK! I'll wear my shoes first..." After that, Liu pushed the door and entered the house.
"You are very familiar with him?" Zhang Guozhong stepped forward and said.
"It's not considered mature. I have collected medicinal materials once from him, and he remembers that I received medicinal materials..." Cui Liyan said, "In fact, he is mentally retarded, but his logical thinking is worse than that of ordinary people. In my opinion, in addition to being strong, this person's memory is much stronger than that of ordinary people! Such examples are common in medicine! Although many people are classified as mentally retarded in logical thinking, they have superb memory, which is better than those of those experts who memorize pi; some have very fast mechanical reaction ability, comparable to insects, and some even have brains like electronic computers..." When talking about academic issues, Cui Liyan said a lot.
"Yes! The Rain Man played by Dustin Hoffman is such a person. He looks stupid, but in fact he is a genius!" Zhang Yicheng kept following him.
"Rain Man?" Cui Liyan frowned, "Science fiction film?"
"You've had a fight with him once?" Zhang Guozhong frowned, "How could he agree so happily?"
"This person is like this! Anyone who works for him can do anything, no matter why, no matter who is looking for him, as long as he can find him here, he will not be rejected under normal circumstances..." Cui Liyan said, "Many people say he is stupid, but I think this is the kindness of others..."
At this time, Dashou Liu had already come out of the house, with a straw hat on his head and a pair of green liberation sneakers under his feet. "Let's go..." Dashou Liu didn't talk much, picked up a sack from the side of the house and rolled it up and tied it to his waist with a rope. It seemed that he wanted to pick some medicinal materials by the way.
Several people drank some water from the stream next to the village and began to follow Liu Jishan.
The mountain road of Dashou Liu Chui is a world of difference from the road when everyone came before. Although the mountain road when he came was rugged, it is not too much to call it "road". However, the "road" of Dashou Liu Chui is definitely not a road. Not only are there jungle rocks everywhere, they always have to use ropes, and some places may even be in danger of life (for example, a small stone cliff a foot wide next to the cliff has some downhill, and people must slowly rub against the cliff, and if they fall down accidentally, they will be crushed to pieces). Fortunately, this Dashou Liu's "consciousness" is not good. He knows that these people are not materials for climbing mountains. Whenever he encounters a dangerous place, he always goes there first, and then fixes the rope before throwing it over for everyone to use as a seat belt...
After crossing about three mountains, the sky was getting darker at this time. Everyone followed Dashou Liu to a cave. Outside the cave, Dashou Liu looked up at the stars that appeared faintly in the sky, looked at the surrounding mountains, and then carefully searched on the ground.
"What is he looking for?" Zhang Guozhong secretly asked Cui Liyan.
"It should be this..." Cui Liyan said, "I also remember that there seems to be a cave nearby, but when we came, we were not on the road we were walking today. We walked for a whole day and a half, and stayed in the mountains for a whole night..."
"This!" Big Hand Liu found a half-high tree with a silly smile on his face. It seemed that the tree looked like a reference object.
"This!?" Old Liu was stunned. When he came, he passed by several "Gongyin Pools", but none of them were. The place at the moment was neither the Gongyin Pool nor like a formation that had been set up. How could this be?
"Yes, it seems that's it..." Cui Liyan kept recalling.
"Brother Liu... can you tell us where is the specific location?" Zhang Guozhong walked to Liu, the big hand, and said.
Big Hand Liu looked up at Zhang Guozhong, frowned, looked at the trees, then looked at the grass, and simply lay down in the grass, tossed and turned several positions, and finally lay down and told Zhang Guozhong: "That's how you lie down!"
"That's it?" Zhang Guozhong glanced at Zhang Yicheng, "Does your bird have any reaction?" Zhang Yicheng shook his head.
He looked around the place where Liu was lying down, and Zhang Guozhong found nothing. He was covered with grass, and there was not even a protruding stone. Even if he set up a formation, there must be a stone incense wax or something, right? "Doctor Cui, did you find any fragrance, wax, stones and other things around you during the autopsy?"
"Scented, wax?" Cui Liyan frowned, "What fragrant wax?"
"It's the kind of incense burned in the temple and the candles?" Zhang Guozhong said.
Cui Liyan shook his head, "At that time, several colleagues searched the carpet style of hundreds of meters around. They found nothing except that they had a travel bag with some camping supplies and related documents!"
"That's strange..." Old Liu took out the compass and looked at the direction of Yin and Yang. It was neither gathering Yin nor Yang. If a person died here, it would be impossible for a wet corpse to be mummy. How could the Liao couple not rot? What's more, according to Cui Liyan, this big hand Liu discovered the corpse twice, and there was no sign of rotting in the corpse... If he followed the yin and yang trend of the mountains here, how could it be possible? "Guozhong, go up and see if there are any evil ways..."
After climbing up the hillside for about twenty or thirty meters, Zhang Guozhong carefully looked at the surrounding terrain, without any yin gathering, nor without the basis for setting up formations. If the corpse is not rotten, there is no way to explain it in Maoshan Technique.
"It's not like a coincidence..." After falling down from the slope, Zhang Guozhong began to discuss with Lao Liutou, "It's impossible to gather yin energy in this place at all, and it doesn't even flow from this!"
"It doesn't look like a formation!" Old Liu also frowned, "If it is a formation that gathers the shade, it will be useless outside the hundred-stage! But within a hundred steps, there are grass, not even stones, and there are mosquitoes and ants everywhere, not like a formation! Unless it is a large formation like Wang Sizhaobu that opens mountains and digs holes! But... If the formation is really placed on the opposite mountain, if this distance is effective, it will be a major project to open mountains and dig walls. That doesn't make sense. If you have to kill people, you have to bring a stonemason team? Is there anyone who kills people like this...?"
"You guys stay here, I'll go dig medicine..." The big hand Liu suddenly stood up from the grass pit, waved his hands at the few people, and climbed up the hillside with all his might. Zhang Guozhong wanted to stop him at first, but after shouting a few times, he found that he ignored him at all, so he had to give up.
In the evening, a few people lived in the cave next to it. The cave was not big, at best, more than ten meters deep. When they lit a bonfire and took out the bread, Zhang Guozhong began to guess with Lao Liu that all kinds of accidents were cast on them, and that they had eaten something strange before they died... Cui Liyan was like listening to a book of heaven, and wanted to make a few words of mouth, but he didn't know what to do...

annotation*:
Area ratio: A special noun for construction industry. The calculation formula is roughly divided by the project's floor area. For general high-rise residential buildings, the floor area ratio is about 3, which means that the residential area of the community is three times the floor area. The floor area ratio of villa communities is generally less than 1. The smaller the floor area ratio, the looser and more comfortable the living environment of the community.
