Vanilla called for help to the shadowy crowd. When they heard someone calling for help, several dark figures seemed to stop what they were doing. They walked towards her, one step, two steps, three steps... I don't know what happened.

Vanilla suddenly felt that these people were like ghosts, with an evil and dark look in their eyes. The same green light flashed like her father's. Maybe even more ferocious green light than her father's. They were approaching this lost lamb step by step.

.

Vanilla's newly settled heart was hanging again. Her throat was dry and scratchy, making her feel extremely panicked.

Vanilla froze her trembling body and stepped back step by step. Although she knew that there might be a more ferocious wolf behind her, she was still retreating. She felt that she had to escape from here quickly, even if she was looking back.

After that, she had to face the unacceptable fact.

Seeing the dark shadow approaching her step by step, Vanilla's mind flashed to a 'running' person who had already run away from the place.

Vanilla once again plunged into a desperate and terrifying run, not caring about the direction she was running, and she had no extra time to see if she had escaped the pursuit of the ghosts.

But Vanilla clearly remembered that just as she was running away, there were noisy footsteps and fierce roars immediately behind her.

Vanilla ran and ran, and was bumped into something like a wall.

This is not a wall, it is a person, a person with green eyes. When Vanilla looked up at this person, she fainted like a ghost...

Vanilla didn't know when she returned home, but when she opened her eyes, she felt that her whole body was enveloped by a very warm atmosphere.

Dad brought a bowl of something that was still smoking, freed one arm to hold up Vanilla's head, placed it in his wall-like arms, and said with a smile: "Girl, you must be starving! Come and eat this.

Already."

Vanilla opened her eyes with difficulty and smelled a strong smell of blood. "Blood..." She looked at her father's twinkling green eyes in surprise. She tried her best to resist moving her head and tightened her lips to refuse to eat.

Something that came over.

"Girl, eat it! This is the dog meat soup made by dad, drink some to warm yourself up." Dad's eyes were moist, he looked at his weak daughter, his throat was hard and he said in a tone that was almost like crying.

"Dog meat soup? What we ate at night was dog meat?" Vanilla felt that she was extremely weak. She was so funny, how could her father be a murderer! He just killed a dog that was almost too hungry to walk.

So casually suspecting him of murder and cannibalism...

When Vanilla looked at her father, his eyes lost the green light and became so kind and kind.

"Dad..." Vanilla stretched out her arms and couldn't help but tightly hugged her father's nearly dried old bones, sobbing and weeping with tears of regret.

After Vanilla finished drinking the fishy-smelling dog meat soup that night, she immediately felt much warmer. She took a nap in a daze, and her strength returned to her original state. She didn't see her father in the room, so she slowly got up and walked out.

It was already dawn, and at this time of the year in the past, the village was already bustling with activity. There were the sounds of sheep bleating, dogs barking loudly, neighbors' children crying, and adults scolding them.

Children can't stand the early scolding.

But now the village is so quiet, so quiet that it's scary. Dad didn't show up to call Vanilla to wake up. Did he go to the slopes? But Vanilla soberly remembered that they hadn't worked on the slopes for a long time. The grass should have grown beyond

They lost those poor autumn corn seedlings, and it was not just their family that was like this, but many families in the village were like this.

"Dad..." Vanilla shouted loudly.

Just when Vanilla shouted, voices came from outside; there is another one here, hurry up...

Hearing the hurried conversation, Vanilla suddenly felt her body being enveloped by the terrifying darkness, and all the hairs on her body became tense.

Her brain issued the command 'Run' and Vanilla ran out of the house desperately.

Vanilla was stopped midway as she ran out of the house. Several armed men wearing black masks stared at her fiercely...

Zhong Kui was in the tomb, and this very terrifying nightmare had been accompanying him every minute since he fell asleep. Vanilla in the dream was so helpless, and he wanted to help her... He came closer again and again. They were so close but couldn't reach each other, which made him very depressed and quite troubled.

We must get out, we must get out, Zhong Kui thought hard, and kept grabbing the moss on the stone wall of the tomb, stuffing it into his mouth and chewing vigorously.

Moss tastes sour and slightly bitter, and it contains a large number of bacteria. It is harmful to the human body, but Zhong Kui, who is in danger, does not know this.

All Zhong Kui wanted to do was to get out, but contrary to expectations, he still failed to achieve his goal. In the end, he passed out due to various reasons until he was rescued by Chen Zhiqing of the exploration team.

It just so happens that the survey team has been wandering around Tongchuan County. The predecessor of this survey team was a survey team organized by five people. In Zhong Kui's village, there was a porter in their team. , then I went home and never went there again.

Some valuable ore specimens were lost in the exploration team, and some people suspected that those who had been porters had stolen them.

The leader of this exploration team is Chen Zhiqing's current father-in-law, Xu Guofeng.

Most of the people who came to the exploration team to work as porters were temporary workers. Some worked for just one day and then left after being paid. Very few of them worked for a long time. But then I met a worker who didn't want to leave after working for several months. People say that he is from a neighboring village and that his family is very poor and has many children who are hungry for food, so he hopes to make more money in the team.

Later, this person quietly left the team for unknown reasons, and that's when the ore was lost.

When Xu Guofeng got old, he handed over the task of searching for ores to his son-in-law Chen Zhiqing.

Chen Zhiqing went there to find Menling Village, but he had no choice but to search in the back mountains of Tongchuan County. As a result, he found a cemetery burial site and accidentally discovered a collapsed tomb.

The surveying profession is naturally curious about the natural environment, especially some mysterious caves and the like, and has special sensitive antennae. Chen Zhiqing found that the collapsed tomb was very hollow, and the location of the tomb also covered a large area, so he suspected that this was a Ancient tomb. So I asked people to go down and take a look. I found three corpses in the tomb.

There were two skeletons that had become rotten, and the whole body of the other one was soft, with thin black hair growing out of the exposed skin. At that time, they thought it was strange how the corpse could still have hair, so they I stretched out my fingers to look at the person's carotid artery, and was surprised to find that the carotid artery had a weak and trembling feeling.

In this way, Zhong Kui formed an indissoluble bond with Chen Zhiqing by accident, and their story became even more bizarre later on.

Now it is Chen Zhiqing who thinks of this thing after listening to Zhong Kui's reminiscence story. It can also be said to be a strange thing that cannot be explained clearly by science. Vanilla and Zhong Kui have telepathy and can sense each other, so he can have clear dreams. See all things happening in Vanilla.

The next thing is that Chen Zhiqing has to wait for Zhong Kui to recover and then take him back to Menling Village to explore the secrets that no one knows.
