"Teacher Wang, what we need more now is information about the missing villagers and abnormal phenomena."

"I want you to take us to visit the families who disappeared at that time, and the place where the strange lightning in the valley occurred."

Teacher Wang slapped his head.

"Oh oh oh, I forgot."

"I thought you were here to listen to my stories - there used to be children in the village who came to listen to my stories."

"All the kids nowadays have gone to town or gone out to work. No one listens to me anymore. I just couldn't help myself."

Xu Qing, who had been looking down at the materials carefully, looked up at Teacher Wang.

The man looked less than fifty years old, but he seemed to have some signs of Alzheimer's disease.

At least his mind is a little confused and he often speaks incoherently.

"Look, the Liu family is closer to here."

"Let's start our investigation from this house."

Gao Zhe quickly pointed out a few spots on the map, which were nearby families whose family members had gone missing.

Finally his finger landed on the house closest to them.

The four of them had originally planned to go there on their own, but it started to drizzle outside and the sky gradually darkened.

The mountain road was difficult to walk on, so they had to ask Teacher Wang to take them there.

After some preparation, several people left the compound.

The car that was supposed to be parked on the side of the road drove away, but Wang Xiao had already informed them through the communication.

First arrange accommodation for them tonight, so that they can go back to their place to rest at any time after they finish what they need to do.

Behind him, Teacher Wang pulled the gate of the courtyard shut and locked it, as if he was afraid someone would sneak in and steal something.

Several people walked slowly along the mountain road, stepping on the stone slabs in the wet mud.

Even with the four people's cultivation level, they only needed to use a little energy to make the mud soup under their feet solidify and dry up.

But there was no need to show off in a place like this, except that Mu Ziran had been carefully using air to separate the mud and water to prevent it from splashing on his legs...

The others strode across the cobblestones, not caring that their shoes were covered in mud.

In the valley, several families built houses on both sides of the road around a well.

Teacher Wang knocked on the big iron gate of the first house, and a little head popped out from inside.

"Who are you looking for?"

The little boy, who looked less than ten years old, was rubbing his eyes, unable to see who was coming.

"Little Potato, look who I am."

"I brought some friends to see your father."

Teacher Wang touched the child's head and the child immediately recognized him.

"Teacher Wang, you're here!"

"My dad is still sleeping, come and see what to do!"

Ignoring the other four people, the child grabbed Teacher Wang's hand and dragged him into the yard.

The four of them had no choice but to enter without being invited and followed the two into the main house.

Lying on a bed in the bedroom was a man in his thirties, who looked like Little Potato's father.

There was a woman sitting about 2 or 3 meters away, who looked like the hostess of the house.

"Mom, Teacher Wang is here."

"Hurry up and let him see Dad."

When the woman heard her son's shout, she wiped her eyes, stood up and greeted Teacher Wang with a smile.

"Teacher Wang, you are here."

"My Zhuzi is fine. He might have gotten tired from working in the mountains a few days ago. He'll be fine after lying down for two days."

"I'd like to trouble you to come here once more."

Teacher Wang shook hands with the woman and asked with concern.

"Zhu Zi hasn't woken up yet? It's been two days, he definitely can't be tired."

"Have you talked to me in the past two days? Have you eaten anything?"

Chapter 360: Strange Movements in the Valley! A Night in the B&B

After hearing what Teacher Wang said, the woman, who had originally been emotionally stable, couldn't help but burst into tears again.

"He eats, of course. He's woken up a few times in the past two days and eats whatever he's given."

"But he didn't say a word, and even when we hit him, he didn't react."

"My child and I are going crazy."

As she was about to cry, Teacher Wang rushed to comfort her.

"Don't worry, don't worry."

"I didn't come here alone this time. I brought a few powerful people with me."

"Maybe we can find the root of your man's illness."

As he spoke, he turned sideways.

Only then did the woman see four young men standing in her yard.

"Hello, Auntie..."

Han Kai was about to be polite, but he didn't expect Mu Ziran to suddenly elbow him in the ribs with 24 force.

"Why call me auntie? Call me sister, okay?"

"Sister doesn't look more than thirty years old."

Han Kai was hit hard and wanted to fight back.

But when he saw Mu Ziran's eyes, he immediately understood what she meant.

"Hey, it's dark and I can't see clearly, but my sister really looks under 30 years old. She's really beautiful."

Mu Ziran curled his lips.

"A scholar."

The woman was amused when she heard the conversation between the two people, and she suddenly realized that they were trying to comfort her.

"Oh, these days are so dark and gloomy."

"I didn't even remember to turn on the light."

"Please come in quickly."

Several people gathered around the bed in the bedroom, and the child called Little Potato by Teacher Wang brought them a few stools.

After everyone sat down, the woman began to tell the story of the strange things that had happened before.

"That morning, after breakfast, my husband took our son to Mr. Wang to learn addition and subtraction."

"All the children in the village are like this. After sending the children to school in the morning, he has to go to the mountains to work and plant fruit trees."

"The village has leased a large piece of land on the back hill to develop a new variety of apples. All the remaining able-bodied men in the village have gone there."

"Every day everything was fine, but two days ago, I don't know what happened. They went up the mountain and never came back."

Several people listened quietly, and then Gao Zhe asked a question.

"Did anything strange happen when your husband went up the mountain?"

The woman thought about it and shook her head.

“No…I don’t think so…”

Gao Zhe continued to ask.

"What happened after that? Did anything unusual happen between the time they disappeared and when they returned?"

The woman tried hard to recall, and this time she seemed to have thought of something, her eyes widened.

"Yes! There is something strange."

"It hailed that day."

Everyone was shocked.

"hail?"

The area where this village is located is not one where hail often falls.

It's a bit of an exaggeration to say that it's spring all year round, but many people can't remember ever seeing hail.

Because it is not common sense, women ignore it at the beginning.

"For some reason that day, it started to hail when it was getting dark."

"And through the window, I saw lightning across the valley. It was strange, green."

The four of them looked at each other.

They could understand hail, but green lightning sounded a bit magical.

“However, it can be confirmed that the incident did occur in the valley.”

"So, what do you say? Next, should we go directly into the valley to explore, or visit other villages around here?"

Gao Zhe sought advice from several team members.

"Let's go to the valley first. Some things are easier to be covered up as time goes by."

It was rare for Han Kai to say something that made some sense, and it seemed that he was not as careless as he usually was.

"But visits are also necessary, so to speak."

"Xiao Kai and Xiao Ran, come with us to investigate the surrounding environment of the valley first."

"After all, there's still a lot of room to investigate outside the valley, so having one more person will make things more efficient."

"If we find nothing in the end, Xu Qing and I will go deeper into the valley to explore the situation."

"You two should retreat to a safer area and visit other families."

Han Kai and the other man nodded.

The hostess of the house saw that several people were about to leave, and she also knew that they had no way to rescue her husband.

But from what they said, they were planning to find out the source of everything, so I didn't bother them.

"Ah... Sister, don't worry. Once we find a way to rescue him, we will come back immediately to help your husband recover."

Han Kai held the woman's hand and promised seriously.

It was completely dark, and it was impossible to search the valley at this time.

The few of them decided to officially start the mission the next morning.

Now let’s return to the residence that Wang Xiao found for them and have a good rest.

After telling Teacher Wang the address Wang Xiao gave them, they were soon taken to a B&B-style courtyard.

It's probably just about finding a local family and borrowing their house, and the reward must be generous.

But the infrastructure is only satisfactory. The air conditioner is newly installed, but the room is cleaned very well.

The air was filled with the scent of citrus.

Chapter 361: Farmhouse on a Rainy Night, the Enemy is in the Light, We Are in the Dark

There are only two bunk beds in the farmyard, so they can only be allocated according to gender.

Five grown men lived in one room, and two girls, Mu Ziran and Wang Xiao, lived in the other room.

After washing off the slightly sticky sweat and rainwater on their bodies, they changed into dry pajamas.

It was not yet ten o'clock, and the two of them discussed it and knocked on the door of the next room.
