"It turns out that I was called to the clinic for this." Shang Yanxin was inexplicably moved, and quickly said to the old doctor gratefully: "Thank you so much, old man."

"It's okay." The old doctor waved his hand indifferently: "It's getting late. Since you have already received the things, hurry up and go back and rest. You will need to accompany the villagers in the village to enter the mountains early tomorrow morning."

"Well, I understand." Shang Yan stood up and said goodbye to the old doctor, while pretending to accidentally take a look on the cover of the doctor's diary placed on the table. Only then did he realize that the old doctor's name was Pu Qingsong.

After coming out of the clinic, Shang Yan couldn't help but shivered when he looked at the dark street outside, and quickly shrank his neck and ran towards Liu Zhuangshi's house.

When Shang Yan returned to the Liu family, Liu Zhuangshi's wife immediately came up and asked Shang Yan worriedly what had happened.

Shang Yan explained to her half-truely that Lao Huang and his children were both sick. Liu Zhuangshi sent them to the city hospital for treatment overnight. He may not be able to come back tonight.

Liu Zhuangshi's wife finally felt relieved after listening to Shang Yan's explanation, while Shang Yan returned to her room to sleep with a tired look on her face.

...

Early the next morning, Shang Yan was woken up from his sleep by a knock on the door. He opened his sleepy eyes and recycled the safety talismans on his body one by one. Then Shang Yan yawned and got out of bed to open the door to the person knocking outside.

Because of some strange things happened yesterday, Shang Yan, for safety reasons, covered dozens of peace talismans on himself before closing his eyes and falling asleep.

This effect is very good, which can make people feel much more relaxed and the quality of sleep will be improved.

"Who?" Shang Yan opened the door and saw Liu Zhuangshi standing outside the door. At the same time, there were two middle-aged people besides him.

"Uncle Liu? When did you come back from the city?" Seeing that it was Liu Zhuangshi, Shang Yan couldn't help but rub his eyes and asked sleeplessly.

"I'm back just dawn. There's nothing wrong with Lao Huang, so I don't need to stay there." Liu Zhuangshi smiled honestly.

At this time, a middle-aged man next to him couldn't stay silent and quickly said, "Don't chat for now. Young man, our village is now planning to send a group of people to the mountains to see what made the two children fall into evil. Dr. Pu said that we have to bring you this time, so let's come to Lao Liu's house to find you."

"Oh!" Shang Yan immediately realized when he heard this. He did agree that Pu Qingsong would accompany the villagers into the mountain today.

Without further ado, Shang Yan immediately put on his clothes, washed his face in a hurry, and followed Liu Zhuangshi and others toward the entrance of the village.

At this time, more than ten people gathered here, all of whom were adults. They were holding hoes and pitchforks in their hands, but they were ready to fight.

"Go, since everyone has arrived, look carefully after entering the mountain, and check the places that the children said should be carefully examined." Pu Qingsong was also standing at the entrance of the village at this time, but as the only doctor in the village, he must not be able to accompany Shang Yan and others into the mountain, so he could only give these people verbally support.

After Shang Yan arrived, the group immediately walked towards a dirt road up the mountain outside the village with pride. Shang Yan followed Liu Zhuangshi and asked him about the situation of the operation.

It turned out that when Shang Yan was still sleeping, Pu Qingsong had already found the children who had gone to the mountain to play with Xiaobao and Amao yesterday and asked about the situation.

After entering the mountain, these children went all the way forward. They would pick some wild flowers and weeds from time to time to play. Since these mountains were planted with fruit trees, the children's playing activities were also to pick fruits.

However, according to a child, Xiaobao and Amao seemed to have gone to a place together. They disappeared for a while and did not appear again soon. However, at this time, the two children had become dirty, with a lot of black mud on their palms, and it seemed that they had gone to something very dirty.

Apart from this little episode, everyone has been together all the time. Judging from the fact that only Xiaobao and Amao had problems among the children, the reason should be that the two of them left the team.

Where did the two of them go during this period?

This problem is the target that Shang Yan and others have to investigate clearly when they enter the mountain this time, but the villagers of Guolianggou Village do not want anything like that to happen again.

The group walked along the way, searching for nearby vegetation and bushes, while Shang Yan walked at the end of the team and started communicating with Liu Zhuangshi.

"Uncle Liu, are you familiar with the terrain on this mountain?"

"It's okay. I usually walk, but I only go to places where I pass by. I don't go to those remote corners of the mountain."

Shang Yan: "Then do you know where there is black sticky mud on this mountain?"

"This..." Liu Zhuangshi hesitated uncertainly. He really didn't know where there was black sticky mud on the mountain.

Black mud is something that can only be seen in the gutter. Without long-term soaking of filth, sewage and soil, you will definitely not see such things.

Generally, in the sewers, gutters, or under water wells that are usually covered by stone slabs, black mud can be seen in these places.

However, the mountain where everyone is currently located is always exposed to sunshine and sunshine, so it obviously does not have the conditions to produce black mud.

Where did Xiaobao and Amao get the black mud?

If this problem can be solved, then you will surely find the source of everything.

Everyone searched all the way and walked towards the mountain. The villagers would search every corner near the mountain road to ensure that they would not let any corner go.

However, half an hour passed, but everyone did not find anything. This made everyone wonder, where the source of the incident could be?

Just as Shang Yan was rummaging through the grass next to the mountain road with a very casual attitude, a villager suddenly shouted loudly not far away.

"Come on here! It seems that someone has stepped on here!"

Suddenly, everyone ran over and saw that there was a path that was obviously trampled down among the dense bushes, which seemed to be able to reach the depths of the bushes.

For example, in the countryside, except for the mountain roads built by the government and some small roads that have been artificially stepped on by villagers for many years due to walking, no one will go to other places with lush vegetation.

After all, there are usually many pits and slopes on the mountain. If these hidden terrain is covered by bushes and people accidentally step on it, the consequences will be very dangerous.
