Based on the various signs we encountered in the valley this time, we can basically confirm that Blind Man Gao is there... although we were not able to fight him face to face.

Even though we didn't directly encounter Blind Man Gao, the danger we encountered this time was greater than any other operation. We almost lost our lives. We have a big question: Are these dangers a trap carefully designed by Blind Man Gao?

Most likely yes.

It seems that we still underestimated Blind Man Gao. He is really mysterious and unpredictable. But think about it seriously: his lifespan is several times that of ordinary people. He has experienced many storms and waves. What kind of dangers have never been seen before. In addition, he has extraordinary talents. By nature, he was a swordsman with superb martial arts skills when he was young. Various factors determined that he was no longer a simple "human". To a certain extent, he could be regarded as a "jing" through cultivation.

However, on the other hand, we don’t have to belittle ourselves blindly, because our strength is still quite strong. We have Xiao Lei, a first-class special forces trained with modern methods, modern equipment, and an expert like my cousin. These are our core strengths. Moreover, we have also severely damaged Gao Xiazi. In short, when we fight Gao Xiazi, we still have to remember that sentence: strategically, we must despise the enemy, and tactically, we must pay attention to the enemy.

Just when we were preparing to make the next step, something unexpected happened... The Feng Shui master who lived in the mountains outside the city suddenly called our cousin and asked us to go to his place. He said he had something to do.

Not just us, but even my cousin was very surprised because he has known the Feng Shui master for decades. This was the first time he took the initiative to call and asked him to come over. My cousin originally wanted to inquire on the phone first. What did the Feng Shui master have to do? But the Feng Shui master just told him in a serious tone that we would talk about it after we get there.

The call was made in the evening of the second day after we returned from the valley. After receiving this unusual call, my cousin immediately called Sister Li and me and asked us to go to his house to discuss it. We happened to have dinner together because we We didn’t live too far away, and it only took about ten minutes to ride a bike. So I put on a half-sleeved T-shirt and didn’t ride a bike. I walked to my cousin’s house on foot. I treated it like a walk.

After having the experience of life and death in the valley, walking on the streets at sunset, I suddenly felt happiness and tranquility that I had never experienced before. Only at the moment of life and death can I appreciate that these days, which were originally so bland, turned out to be like this. Beautiful. Even when I see the faces of strangers on the street, I feel an incomparable sense of intimacy.

When we returned to the city yesterday, it was already afternoon. We all felt that our physical strength had reached its limit. We were almost exhausted. After I got home, I gritted my teeth and took a shower. Because I was very hungry, I started eating again casually. I took out something from the refrigerator and ate something to survive. When I ate again, I almost fell asleep. It showed how exhausted I was.

After everything was tidied up, I fell on the bed and fell into a deep sleep. I didn't wake up until this afternoon. I slept for almost twenty-four hours. When I woke up, my whole body was sore, but my mental and physical strength was intact. Returned to normal.

At this moment, walking on this street where "the sunset is infinitely beautiful", how can I not feel emotional in my heart.

However, I always feel that there is something strange in our small town... I always feel that there are people in twos and threes discussing something. It seems that there is some news in the town. But looking at the people's discussing expressions, they seem a little scared. and uneasiness.

I guess there must be another serious criminal case in the city. Because there was a serial rape case last year. It happened in this small county. Four women were raped in succession, and two were stabbed. All at once. It made people panic. At that time, people in the city were talking about this. It was similar to the situation now. Because I had more important things on my mind, I didn't pay much attention to it. I still walked quickly to my cousin's house.

It was my cousin who opened the door for me. Although they had only been separated for two days, the two days in the valley were really extraordinary. I felt as if I hadn't seen my cousin for a long time. Seeing his kind face was more special than usual. It feels much more cordial. It feels like a strange family reunion.

This time I didn't shake hands, but gave me a gentle hug. My cousin put his hand on my back and said comfortingly: "Xiao Ming, you are frightened. Thank you for your hard work." I don't know why, but after hearing these two words, I The eye sockets are a little hot. Only those who have escaped death will find that everything that was ordinary turns out to be so beautiful and precious.

Xiaolei, Hongmei, Sister Li, they are all here. After this life and death disaster, we truly have a family-like feeling between us. This feeling is very good and precious. With these, I feel that this world is so lovely. .

The meal was ready. We sat around the dining table under warm and soft lights. Only then did everyone really relax.

"In the past two days since you left, many strange phenomena have occurred in our city."

Hearing what my cousin said, I suddenly remembered something. I quickly asked, "Cousin, what's weird? No wonder I saw people gathering in twos and threes on the street, as if they were chatting about something."

After the three of them heard what my cousin and I said, they couldn't help but be surprised. It seemed that Xiaolei and Hongmei didn't know either. They all stopped their chopsticks and looked at their cousin.

My cousin nodded and said: "Yes. After Xiaolei and Hongmei came back, I saw that you were in shock. Your eyes were bloodshot and you were very tired. I knew that you must have encountered some terrible danger in the valley. So I Let you rest quickly. When you regain your energy, we will talk in detail about what happened in the past two days, so I won’t tell you anything."

Hearing what their cousin said, Xiaolei and Hongmei were a little embarrassed. It turned out that they were just like me. They slept until this afternoon. But after all, they were not at home. They felt that it was a bit rude to sleep for such a long time.

Sister Li asked her cousin anxiously: "Oh, it's okay. Please hurry up and tell me what weird thing happened."

My cousin picked up a mouthful of vegetables with chopsticks. He took a sip of egg soup and said, "Don't stop using chopsticks. Let's talk while eating." So he talked endlessly about the many abnormal phenomena that happened in the city during our absence in the past two days. Talked about it.

My cousin said that on the day we entered the valley, it was a sunny and cloudless day in the city. Around noon, a dark cloud suddenly drifted over from the direction of the mountains. This dark cloud was very strange... in the sky. It's just such a solitary one. In addition, there is no other cloud, whether it is a dark cloud or a white cloud. And this dark cloud, at the beginning, is just like the smoke rings that we smokers exhale, but it is nothing like it. Generally, smoke rings are closer to a perfect circle and have a very regular shape.

This shape lasted for about twenty minutes. At that time, many people in the city ran to the street to see this strange phenomenon. He was taking a nap at that time. Suddenly, a former colleague from the Cultural Affairs Bureau called him. .Tell him to look outside quickly. He quickly walked to the balcony and happened to see this strange celestial phenomenon.

Not only these, but what is even more terrifying is that there seems to be a strange sound coming from the mountains behind the county town. The sound sounds like wind at first, but if you listen carefully, it feels more like human breathing. Although It was low, but very shocking. Even the glass on the building was shaken and buzzed loudly. Later, I heard from people who lived closer to the mountain that the gasping sound seemed to be mixed with the moans of women. .

In the past, whenever there was a thunderstorm, shouts of death would be heard from the mountains. Later, when experts came, they had figured out what was going on. However, this was the first time for residents near the mountains to hear such sounds on a sunny day. Strange sounds, seeing this weird dark cloud.

At that time, many people in the city thought that an earthquake was about to happen. They hurriedly ran out of their homes to take shelter in open areas. My cousin was also a little panicked at the time, because he had never encountered such a situation in his long life. Not only He has never encountered it personally. There are no relevant records in the vast books he has read.

So my cousin was not immune. Like everyone else, he hurried downstairs and moved to a safe place. Although the strange noise lasted for a long time, there was no earthquake on the ground. It was not until three or four o'clock in the afternoon that everyone arrived one after another. Back inside the building, the Earthquake Bureau also issued an emergency statement on our county TV station and radio, saying that no earthquake of any magnitude was detected.

What’s even more strange is that at that time, someone took a camera or a mobile phone to take a picture of the strange dark cloud. But after everyone took the picture, when they checked the shooting effect, no one took the picture. In other words, everyone took the picture of the dark cloud. I saw it but couldn't take a photo. It's really weird.

After this incident, an even more incredible phenomenon happened. When this dark cloud appeared, all the pregnant women in the city had severe uterine contractions. No matter how many months pregnant they were, as long as they were pregnant Without exception, the obstetrics and gynecology departments of several hospitals in the county were all full, and they even had to temporarily add beds. But as soon as the dark cloud disappeared, the contractions of most pregnant women stopped immediately.

After this incident, my cousin's phone was almost buzzing with calls that day. Many of my cousin's friends and even many leaders wanted to ask my cousin... our most senior local expert on literature and history... what is this? What's going on? Is there any record in the county annals? Has this similar strange phenomenon ever happened in history?

My cousin had to regretfully explain to them that he had never found any relevant records in the county annals. In the end, because there were too many phone calls, my cousin was so annoyed that he simply unplugged the phone line.

The three of us were stunned when we heard this. We didn’t expect that so many incredible phenomena would happen during our absence. As we watched and listened, our cousin quickly urged us: "Hurry up and eat. There are many things." "We are discussing during dinner, otherwise the food will be cold."

Only then did we come back to our senses. We hurriedly wiped out the sumptuous meals on the table. Eating for the past two days has been too hard. We haven't seen a single star. Let's satisfy our hunger now.
