Chapter 335

During the meeting, Shen Hu told Song Jiang and the others that he had participated in Xu Liqiang's search and rescue activities before, and also went to the air-raid shelter that Zhou Rui mentioned, but he did not find any traces left by Xu Liqiang inside...

After hearing this, Song Jiang asked curiously, "Is the terrain of Danglan Mountain very complicated?"

Shen Hu sighed and said, "How should I put it, the terrain of Danglan Mountain is a bit complicated compared with the surrounding areas. I have also participated in several wild rescues in Danglan Mountain over the years, and most of them were donkey friends who encountered extremely bad weather. The situation of getting lost. Because there are many underground caves in Danglan Mountain, and the environment inside is extremely complicated, let alone ordinary donkey friends, even those with professional caving experience dare not try it rashly... But Xu Liqiang's accident did make him We were a little surprised."

Deng Kai heard the other party's tone that he knew Xu Liqiang, so he asked casually, "Do you know Xu Liqiang?"

Shen Hu nodded and said, "Xu Liqiang and I have participated in several field rescue activities together. Based on my understanding of him, there really shouldn't be an accident in Danglan Mountain."

"What about that air-raid shelter? Zhou Rui said they saw an underground cave in it, and there were traces of human sacrifices inside?" Song Jiang said in a deep voice.

After hearing this, Shen Hu shook his head and said, "I really don't know... At that time I was in charge of searching outside the air-raid shelter. However, few people usually go up that air-raid shelter. Except for some outdoor adventure enthusiasts, the locals will definitely not went up."

At this time Meng Zhe suddenly asked, "Do you know any legends about Danglan Mountain?"

Shen Hu thought for a while and said, "This is indeed true... According to legend, this Danglan Mountain was once a fief of a king with a different surname hundreds of years ago. At that time, a local indigenous tribe fought a battle with the king of a different surname. Annihilation of the clan, the king of a different surname also died of serious injuries."

After hearing this, Deng Kai said with emotion, "The ancients were just impatient. Why can't we sit down and talk about it? Why bother to meet each other every now and then? In the end, it's not a situation where both sides suffer..."

Meng Zhe's focus was on that indigenous tribe, so he asked, "Are there any documents about that indigenous tribe left in the county?"

Shen Hu shook his head and said, "I don't know about that, but the Huaili County Museum does have some stone axes, stone shovels and other tools unearthed in Danglan Mountain decades ago, as well as some broken clay pots. , should be something left by that indigenous tribe.”

Seeing that Meng Zhe was very interested in that indigenous tribe, Song Jiang asked in a low voice, "Is there any question?"

"Many early tribes believed in some unpopular evil gods. In fact, to say that they are gods is an exaggeration. At most, they are demons, and their sacrifice methods are generally very bloody..." Meng Zhe said in a deep voice.

Song Jiang thought for a while and asked, "You mean the eyes in the broken porcelain bowl that Zhou Rui mentioned?"

Meng Zhe nodded and said, "It's about the same... But the specific situation will only be known after seeing the stone statue."

At this time, Gu Hao seemed to have thought of something, so he turned his head to look at Shen Hu and said, "Has a similar situation happened in Danglan Mountain before?"

Shen Hu sighed and said, "Of course. The most recent time was three years ago when an outdoor adventurer named Han Zhengyuan got lost in Danglan Mountain... We searched for him for almost three days. By the way , if I remember correctly, Xu Liqiang should have also participated in that search and rescue operation."

As soon as Gu Hao heard it, he asked curiously, "Has anyone been found in the end?"

Shen Hu said with some regret, "No..."

"I haven't found anyone yet?!" Deng Kai asked in surprise.

Shen Hu said helplessly, "This result is something we don't want to see, but Han Zhengyuan's situation is very special. He has always been a loner, and even his screen name is Lone Traveler, so we had The clues we have are very limited, and we only know that he did enter Danglan Mountain... Unlike Zhou Rui and Xu Liqiang this time, at least we still know that their destination is the air-raid shelter."

"Wait... You said that Han Zhengyuan, who disappeared three years ago, was called a solo traveler?" Deng Kai asked in surprise.

Shen Hu nodded and said, "That's right, Han Zhengyuan is well-known in the circle of outdoor adventures, because he always likes to go alone... Although some people advised him that it's not safe to do so, he is very confident about it , in the end something went wrong.”

After hearing this, Deng Kai looked at Song Jiang and the others and said, "You still remember that Zhou Rui said that the reason why he knew there was an air-raid shelter in Danglan Mountain was because he saw a post on the Internet by a guy named Lone Traveler! Could it be the same person?"

"It should be a coincidence, after all, the name Lone Traveler is very common..." Zhou Shiwu said.

But Song Jiang didn't think so, "It's not as simple as a coincidence... First of all, this post must have been posted by an outdoor adventure enthusiast. Brother Hu said that Han Zhengyuan is very famous in this circle, and he has been missing for a long time." status, so ordinary people should not have the same screen name as him. In addition, the Danglan Mountain mentioned in the other party’s post happened to be the place where the real lone traveler disappeared. coincide."

Gu Hao frowned and asked, "You said someone deliberately lured Zhou Rui and Xu Liqiang to Danglan Mountain?"

Song Jiang nodded and said, "At present, it seems that this possibility is very high..."

Shen Hu on the side hurriedly interrupted them and said, "Wait a minute, why am I getting more and more confused the more I listen? If it's really like what brother Song said, then what is the other party's purpose for doing this? To avenge Han Zhengyuan? But Han Zhengyuan's disappearance is not directly related to Xu Liqiang, is it? Besides, we were all voluntary to help search and rescue back then, and we didn't even go to that air-raid shelter at that time, so how could Han Zhengyuan's incident be attributed to Qiangzi?"

Gu Hao sighed, "It shouldn't be revenge... By the way, when the previous rescue team entered the air-raid shelter, did they really not see any caves in the ground?"

Shen Hu said sternly, "Absolutely not... We were searching on the mountain in three groups, and the team in charge of the air-raid shelter searched everything inside and out. There was nothing in the air-raid shelter except for some sundries abandoned in the early years. They are all gone, and even Zhou Rui was found in a dry ditch six or seven kilometers away from the air-raid shelter. If we hadn't expanded the search area at that time, we probably wouldn't have found him."

After hearing this, Song Jiang thought of the red backpack that Zhou Rui mentioned, so he asked Shen Hu, "Brother Hu, when you were searching, did you see a red sports backpack near the air-raid shelter?"
