"There have always been rumors about ghosts in the bamboo forest, and people in the village never come close. How could it be..."

Shen Yang raised questions.

Xie Yanchuan half-crouched on the ground. He only knew a little bit about the tracking technique, but was not proficient in it.

There are currently no clues about the half-footprint on the ground.

"Maybe he didn't want to come on his own, but someone forced him to come."

The young man's voice was cold and clear. Shen Yang didn't understand the meaning of Xie Yanchuan's words. He stood up and looked deep into the bamboo forest.

"What's over there? Has Yangyang been there?"

The rising sun peeks out from the sky.

Shen Yang followed Xie Yanchuan's gaze and saw that he was talking about the southeast direction of the bamboo forest.

The densely planted trees cover the shadows. Between the white and black boundaries, the sharp bamboo leaves look like evil spirits from hell.

The little girl shook her head, "I've never been in."

I don't know why, but since she found this secret base, she seemed to have a reflex to stay away from the dense area.

There were footsteps outside the forest.

They were the team looking for Cheng Yu. They hadn't returned all night and there was still no news. Shen Yang and Xie Yanchuan looked at each other.

If it is not outside the perimeter, then the footprints may have been left by Cheng Yu.

No one knows what is hidden there, but if he doesn't go in, Cheng Yu may really die.

The golden sun rises, and the morning is foggy.

Xie Yanchuan said softly, "Come in."

The flames on the torches were dampened by the morning mist, emitting a thick smoke.

The little girl threw the torch and said, "Come in."

The two of them walked in front of each other, crouching down just a second before entering the bamboo forest.

A shout came from outside, "Found it! Come quickly, we found it!"

found it.

The huge crowd ran in the direction of the shouts, and Shen Yang and Xie Yanchuan were no exception.

The bamboo forest is considered a forbidden area in Taohua Village.

They came out of the woods and merged into the crowd, but no one noticed them.

It was a bit far away. When we arrived, the outer circle was already full of people. Doctor Cheng was in the middle and said that the villager he found was holding a waistband in his hand.

"Doctor Cheng, look at this."

Cheng Yu's name was written on the waist tag. Doctor Cheng looked over it with trembling hands, "Yes, this is the waist tag issued by Cheng Yu's school. Have you found the person?"

Shen Qin stood next to Dr. Cheng and asked if he had found it.

The villager shook his head, "No one saw it, so I just looked at this sign. I was afraid I would miss any clues, so I came over quickly to tell you."

He was also impatient, so Doctor Cheng hurriedly asked where he found the sign.

The villagers led the way, along the path out of the village, and by the river in the neighboring village, the mountain spring went down the river, so long that it was difficult to see the end.

He pointed to the location under his feet, "It's right here."

Everyone had bad thoughts in their minds. The main reason was that a child had an accident in the Triangle River some time ago. The village chief had explicitly forbidden children to stay away from the water without the company of adults.

This time Cheng Yu was lost by the river again.

Shen Yang said in confusion, "But last night, we watched Cheng Yu walking towards home. Why did he come here?"

The river has left the village.

It was late at night and it was cold, so Mr. Cheng Yu couldn't come over for a wild swim.

Shen Yang's question resonated, and no one understood it. Doctor Cheng looked at the steady man and became anxious.

He shook off his shoes and headed downstream along the river.

Being so reckless, he might not be able to find Cheng Yu and his body would collapse.

Shen Qin and Shen Han stepped forward to hold Doctor Cheng and expressed their long-term plans. Shen Yang turned to look at Xie Yanchuan.

"Report to the official."

Regardless of whether you really entered the bamboo forest or were washed down by the water, reporting to the police is the safest way.

The Yamen must have more ways to find people than they did, and Xie Yanchuan also had the same intention. Shen Sui stood not far away from the two of them, and he gestured towards Shen Yang from a distance.

——You go to the county seat to report to the official, I will watch here first.

If you find Cheng Yu, you might as well notify him in advance.

The team is divided into two groups.

Shen Yang and Xie Yanchuan went to the county seat, while the others formed a team and headed towards the lower reaches of the river.

Before leaving, Shen Yang wanted to tell his elder brother about the half-footprint in the bamboo forest.

But she was afraid that Shen Qin would turn around and say that she ran away blindly, not to mention that Shen Qin didn't take the time to listen to Shen Yang.

There are no carriages.

Shen Yang and Xie Yanchuan could only walk.

Afraid of wasting time, the two of them almost trotted all the way.

Shen Yang stayed up almost all night and didn't eat anything in the morning. Shen Yang's body was very cold and his face was obviously bad. The little girl couldn't bear to say anything.

The county government office in Mingwu City is at the end of the street.

There were not many open shops, so I asked around and found that there were sweepers at the gate of the county government office.

The yamen with square eaves looks very majestic, with drumsticks hanging under the vertical grievance drum.

"Sir, we need to report to the official."

Shen Yang didn't know how to call the ancient government officials, so he simply called them by their official titles.

The coat on her body was wet with dew, and the yamen servant stopped the broom in his hand and said, "What happened?"

I know a child is missing.

The yamen servant said there was no need to beat the drum as the leaves on the ground had not been cleaned yet, so he put the broom aside.

"Come in and tell me about the child's characteristics and when he was lost."

Xie Yanchuan stood at a distance from the moment he saw the county government plaque. Shen Yang wanted to invite him to come in with him, but the young man lowered his head.

"I'll sweep the floor clean and wait for you outside."

Shen Yang vaguely sensed something was wrong, but didn't force it.

After reporting Cheng Yu's name and age, as well as the location of Taohua Village, the yamen servant put down the brush in his hand and said, "Come on, you go back first, someone will come by later."

The yamen was deserted.

The yamen servants haven't gone to work yet, so this person is probably on duty.

Shen Yang reached the position of his chest, and the little girl walked out and asked, "How long will it take? Because we are by the river, we are afraid of accidents."

The little girl's attitude was sincere, and the yamen servant pondered for a moment, and then he happened to leave the backyard.

The streets in front of the yamen must be swept clean.

While Xie Yanchuan was waiting, he straightened the red satin around the neck of the stone lion at the door.

This young man has a keen eye.

The yamen servant put his hands behind his back with satisfaction and stopped, "It's about the front and rear feet. It won't take long."

Shen Yang sighed, and after receiving the answer, he quickly went back to talk to Dr. Cheng.

Xie Yanchuan turned his back to the two of them and looked at him from a distance. He saw the young man Zhilan Yushu with a slender waist.

When I went back, there were steaming white bread rolls at the door of the breakfast shop.

The fragrance induces salivation.

When he was about to leave the city, Xie Yanchuan stood in front of the stall and said, "Boss, here are two pork-filled ones."

Shen Yang thought he was hungry, so he reached for the money bag at his waist.

The eldest brother was afraid that it would be inconvenient for her to buy things, as Shen Yang always had a few taels of silver on him.

Xie Yanchuan was also accustomed to eating soft rice. When the store handed over the oil paper bag, he turned to look at Shen Yang, with innocent eyes waiting for Miss Shen to pay.
