When Lin Chusheng received the list of the research team, he did not expect that he would be selected.

Her supervisor, Yu Dairong, is a big shot in the field of linguistics. She usually only recruits doctoral students. In recent years, she has received two graduate students. Lin Chusheng is the lucky one, so almost all the places she went out for research with her supervisor were monopolized by doctoral students. She just submitted the application with a try-and-see attitude.

The place I was going to this time is Mengchuan Border Town under Diancheng, which belongs to Baiyi.

In addition to Yu Dairong, there is also a senior brother who is studying for the second-year Ph.D.

The three of them arrived at Diancheng by plane from Beijing. The head of the local language committee warmly welcomed them. They stayed for one night before chartering a car and hired a master to set off for Mengchuan.

After all, Lin Chusheng is just a graduate student and does not have a deep understanding of special professional things. The task of this trip is only to use a tape recorder to collect dialect corpus, which is easy.

Diancheng is in the south, warm and moist, and even in December, she is wearing thin clothes.

Lin Chusheng sat in the bumpy van and glanced out the window for a few times. Almost all the unopened valleys and dense forests were dangerously barren.

"This is my first time in Diancheng, right?" Wen Bo said with a smile.

"Yes." Lin Chusheng nodded.

"There is a reception in the local area, so there is nothing to worry about. Tell me any time you have anything to do." Wen Bo is in his thirties and is already married and has children. He probably treats her as a little sister.

"Thank you, senior brother." Lin Chusheng said and rubbed his nose. It was probably because he was not suitable for the local environment and had some dry pain.

"Diancheng is a good place, very suitable for tourism. Last time I came here for investigation..." Yu Dairong talked about the interesting stories from the past, and the atmosphere in the car was very good.

Mengchuan is a border town. The place they want to go is in the mountains and it is difficult to drive at night. In the evening, they settled in the city and found a small hotel to stay in.

When the three of them entered the hotel, a group of people were checking in. They were all men, of different sizes. Two of them checked in at the counter, and three or five others gathered together to smoke. Seeing Lin Chusheng and the other two, their eyes were slowed down.

"Wait a minute." The boss lady spoke not standard Mandarin and greeted Lin Chusheng and others.

The place is remote, and those who come here to stay in a hotel are either adventure travel or research. It is the off-season for tourism and it is rare to have so many customers.

"Give me your ID card first," said Wen Bo.

Lin Chusheng nodded and responded, opened his backpack and searched for the ID stuffed in the mezzanine, but suddenly heard a burst of laughter and subconsciously raised his eyes. The group of smokers were all looking at her.

He was fucking a dialect that she couldn't understand, but his eyes were joking and presumptuous, wandering on her face, making people feel extremely uncomfortable.

At this time, the man who was originally going through the procedures at the counter suddenly had a conflict with the boss's wife, and his tone was extremely unfriendly.

The man turned his head and kicked the man who laughed the most unrestrainedly. He was probably saying harsh words, and the man bowed his head and became depressed in an instant.

The man was very tall and glanced at Lin Chusheng and the other two before leaving. His eyes were very small, but they were extremely sharp, making people uncomfortable.

The few people didn't have a stay and left with their things.

"Sorry, I've been waiting for you for a long time, how many rooms will you open." The boss lady smiled.

"Two rooms." Wen Bo handed over his ID card. Lin Chusheng was a girl and must live in one room alone.

"Okay." The boss lady checked in for them and complained about the group of people just now. "I can't use the ID card. We are messy in this place and there are many fake documents. I said I can enter it manually, but if I have to declare it with the police station, they will not be happy."

"Look, the certificate may be fake. I have to tell the police station if I look back, so I won't have to do anything."

...

After a day of running around, Lin Chusheng was already very tired. After having some supper with his mentor and senior brother, he went back to the room to rest.

The hotel is old and keys are used when entering and leaving the room. Wen Bo also specifically reminded her to lock the doors and windows before going to bed, and open the doors and windows in opposite directions. After years of disrepair, the key on one side fell off and could be closed but could not be locked.

Lin Chusheng specially found something to sandwich it between the window and closed the window firmly.

After a simple wash, she found slight bleeding in her nasal cavity, which was probably due to climate, so she didn't care and called her parents to report her safety.

Lin Jianye and his wife heard that she was going to Diancheng, and they were always worried. "I checked it online and found that Mengchuan is a border, which is quite chaotic. You should be careful and follow the teacher..."

Lin Chusheng nodded and responded.

The other side

The night fell, the sky was high and the wilderness was wide, and a car drove into Mengchuan Police Station.

"...According to the boss's description, it feels very much like the group of people you are looking for." The policeman said.

“No surveillance?”

"There are few people in our place, and the house does not install surveillance, but we are already investigating it. If that group of people is really in Mengchuan, they will definitely be found." The policeman said, looking at the person sitting not far away.

The man was obviously the leader, but after entering the house, he said hello, but he said little.

The group left the police station, "Why wouldn't it be a waste of time? Those people dared to be so bold and stay in the hotel directly?"

"You haven't heard of it. The more dangerous you are, the safer you are!"

"What a fuck, the closer we get, the more rampant this group of people is."

"The more the holidays, some people want to eat wild game. When there is a business, the group of people will naturally be more active."

"Captain, what should we do? Stay here and wait for news, and leave first."

...

The eyes of several people fell on the man. He leaned against the side of the car, grabbed a cigarette with his fingertips, and looked careless.

"Heizi, what's wrong with the captain? When I go home, I always feel absent-minded and often dazed."

The man named Kuroko smiled and said, "I miss a woman!"

Everyone: "…"

"You don't know, the captain met a woman on the train..." Before Heizi finished speaking, Ji Beizhou kicked him over. He howled and covered his butt, "Captain, why are you still doing this?"

"It's so much nonsense that I can't concentrate on smoking!"

“…”

"Go to drive, let's go around the store, maybe you can find it." Ji Beizhou pinched his fingertips and pinched his cigarette.
