On the other side, Su Hong suddenly felt a little pain in his right hand. He guessed that when he helped pull Braveshell back then, he was scratched by the cadaver's sharp nails.

Fortunately, the wound was not big, so he did not prepare to bandage it.

"What's going on? Have you seen everything this time?" Wang Yan began to speak, "Something big has really happened to our village!

Gu Hongmei then said to Liang Dashi:

"Old Liang, if this isn't retribution, then what is? If you're going to be fierce towards me again, why aren't you being fierce anymore? "

Liang Dashi was immediately angered and looked pitifully at Mr. Wu.

"Enough, what are you stepping on each other for? Now we have to figure out why the corpses buried in the trees are alive and where those kids went. " The Mr. Wu concluded.

"Where else can we go? We were taken away by the cadaver!" Wang Yan immediately replied.

Honestly speaking, it was hard for him to imagine that scene.

The others whispered to each other and had no more ideas.

Su Hong thought that it was time to tell them everything.

"Everyone, listen to my words …"

After what happened, everyone in the village knew Su Hong, there was no need for him to introduce them anymore. Thus, he narrated everything that Su Qin saw and heard last night.

At this time, the villagers could only choose to believe him, and Su Hong's words were also matched with many other phenomena.

"Tell me, did your family's girl see those kids wearing birthday suits? Could it be that they were stolen from my shop?" The birthday shop owner asked first.

"Probably." Su Hong answered him.

"Your daughter... Did you really see them go to the other side of the river? " Mr. Wu asked.

"Yes, that's right."

"Hong, you have to think about it carefully. Don't speak carelessly." Zheng Gaang was a timid person, he did not forget to remind Su Hong.

"Brother, don't worry. Qin Qin won't speak carelessly."

Hearing Su Hong's words, the villagers were skeptical. It was obvious that the place on the other side of the river was indeed a taboo. Su Hong understood that if it wasn't for the incident of the cadaver reviving, no one would have believed what he had said.

After a moment of silence, suddenly, a voice came from not too far away. Su Hong immediately recognized the voice, it was his daughter, Su Qin.

Seeing Su Qin running towards him, out of breath, her eyes red, as if she had just cried.

"Dad …" Dad... Something has happened! " Su Qin pressed a hand on her chest, gasping for breath.

"What's wrong? Where's Miao? " Su Hong asked while supporting Su Qin.

"It's Miao! Miao... She's gone! "

Ah!" Su Hong and Zheng Gaang cried out in alarm at the same time.

"Don't be in such a hurry, tell us what happened." Zheng Gaang said.

"Just now, I had first coaxed Miao to sleep. After coaxing her, I also lied down on the table and fell asleep, but the moment I woke up, I realized that Miao had disappeared! And then the window was open, and Dad... I suspect... Someone came in from outside the window and carried Miao away! Su Qin cried until tears flowed from her eyes.

"Is there such a thing?" Su Hong replied weakly, he felt like he was about to collapse.

"After that, I searched everywhere with my grandparents, but there was no other way, so I had to come here. Father, it's my fault, I'm useless, even Miao couldn't stand it, and lost her! " Su Qin blamed herself, and she was miserable at the same time.

"Don't cry, it has nothing to do with you." Zheng Gaang consoled.

Su Hong thought that Su Miao's sleeping place was the second floor, and right next to the second floor was the kitchen. That person should have climbed to the roof of the kitchen and carried Su Miao out.

"It must be the one who stole the child! He's not far away right now, so let's split up and look for him! " Wang Yan immediately called out.

Everyone felt that Wang Yan's words were reasonable, now was the best time to strike. Thus, the villagers began to move again.

Su Hong, Su Qin, Mr. Wu and a few other men walked along the river bank.

At this moment, Su Hong's state of mind was very different from during the day. He had also become one of the victims and he had begun to understand why Gu Hongmei had gone crazy.

Unfortunately, after more than two hours, there was nothing.

Su Hong could not hold it in any longer. He believed that Su Miao, like the other children, was brought to the other side of the river.

"Qin Qin, let's go, we'll search on the other side of the river!" Su Hong no longer cared about what taboo the village had, even to the extent that he had the urge to slap someone if they dared to stop him.

He did not want to ask for other people's help either, including Zheng Gaang. This was because he knew that some of the stubborn thoughts in the villagers' heads were deeply rooted.

"Are you crazy? What are you doing over there?" Zheng Gaang immediately advised.

"I really don't want to talk about it right now. Anyway, I must go over there." Su Hong's attitude was firm.

"It's not a question you want to ask. Have you been there? Do you know what's over there? "

Su Hong sighed, thinking that Zheng Gaang was too funny, even if the other side of the river was dangerous, he still had to go to the other side to find his daughter.

"There are only two of you, and you don't have a boat. What can you do?" Liang Dashi asked.

Su Hong was startled, but he thought that there was a bridge, what was the point of having a boat?

"I'll go with you!" After hesitating for a while, Gu Hongmei walked over to Su Hong's side and said: "Don't talk rubbish with them, those people are all cowards, no one dares go, if they lose their life, I, Gu Hongmei, am not afraid! "My big sister has a boat, I'll borrow one later!"

Gu Hongmei's current situation was similar to how the villagers had offended her.

"Gu Hongmei, why are you making trouble again? Did I say I wouldn't go? " Mr. Wu spoke up.

"Have you thought it through clearly? If you really believe them, where are you going?" Liang Dashi asked the Mr. Wu.

"We have to go." Mr. Wu lowered his head, "Isn't there really no other way?"

Mr. Wu's expression was sour, his forehead was filled with wrinkles. Liang Dashi understood his situation and knew that he had always been alone. A while ago, when his son's daughter-in-law finally brought him over from the city, she stayed in the village to accompany him for New Year's, but in the end, he lost his son. So if something happened to the child, he wouldn't be able to explain it to his son and daughter-in-law in the city.

Su Hong was the same, if anything happened to Su Miao, he would not be able to explain himself to the Zheng Huiling underground.

"If Mr. Wu is going, then we will also go!" Another couple replied.

"Me too!"

"I'll go too!"

"Who the f * ck cares? With so many people going together, what other dangers can there be?"

After all, the Mr. Wu was a rallying force, and in a short period of time, more than a dozen people responded to him.

"Count me in too!" Wang Yan also stood up, "If I don't find those kids from our village, I won't be able to sleep at night."

"What does it have to do with you? You have no children." Liang Dashi mocked her.

"What?" Can't you find a child without a child? That's what I said. "

Everyone in the village knew that Wang Yan had an open mind, and was quite warmhearted, so they didn't find it strange.

Seeing that the situation had turned out like this, Liang Dashi and Zheng Gaang could only compromise and join in. In the end, the group consisted of Liang Dashi, Mr. Wu, Zheng Gaang, Su Hong, Su Qin, Wang Yan, Wang Yan and a dozen other people.

Before they left, Liang Dashi asked someone to borrow a boat, and asked Zheng Gaang to borrow two people to row the boat over.

Even now, Su Hong still did not understand the use of this boat, so he could only ask Mr. Wu.

Mr. Wu finally told him that on the other side of the river, there was a lake, and on the lake there was an island. The local people called it Small Snake Island, and in the distance, there was even a large snake island. That area had always been an unlucky place. In the past, as long as someone went to the other side of the river, there was almost no one who could return. As time passed, the villagers' taboos became heavier and heavier. They simply sealed off the road at the other end of the stone bridge, afraid that the children would randomly go there to play.

Su Hong finally understood that the reason he was using the boat was because he was using the water route.

Mr. Wu also said that this river was connected to the lake, otherwise, it would be difficult for the boat to cross.

"Do we get to the Small Snake Island first?" Su Hong asked again.

"Yes!" The Great Snake Island was too far away. They would probably need to drive for a few hours. Before, everyone in our village went to Small Snake Island and didn't come back. " The Mr. Wu was serious, answering any questions he wanted to ask.

"Is there really no one that has returned?"

"That's not true. There are people who came back. However, they didn't die very soon due to strange diseases, but rather they went crazy and died."

"They're crazy enough to die?" This was the first time Su Hong had heard of such a way of dying.

"I remember one thing. Old Miao's son went to visit Small Snake Island that night, but she came back so early in the morning and she became insane. She cried non-stop while hugging his cow, and no one could persuade him otherwise. Then she didn't eat nor drink nor sleep at all. In the middle of the night, she was actually drowned to death by the cow in the well water.

"Is there such a thing? That's ridiculous. But his family's own cattle, how could they just bump into him like that? "

"You made that cow so angry!"

"What do you mean?"

"I heard of it. I only heard that his cow was found full of wounds the next day, as if he had made it with something."

Su Hong's heart trembled, and something suddenly appeared in his mind: Fingernails!

Why was it nails again?

The villagers fought with their nails, the cadaver grew their nails, and now there were many madmen who were strong enough to cut a cow with their nails when they were crazy.

Su Hong immediately thought of the virus, feeling like the problem with his fingernail was spreading like a virus, slowly seeping into the village.

asked Mr. Wu again. Mr. Wu said that he did not know where the stench came from, and it was only recently.

Su Hong's heart became heavy.

Because these strange phenomena were now linked to his daughter's fate.

Unknowingly, Su Hong and his group reached the stone bridge.

At the same time, on the other side, Zheng Wangde and Zhu Qimei, the two old men, were walking around the house anxiously. After all, Su Miao had not reached their location yet, so they heard that Zheng Gaang and Su Hong had prepared to bring people to the other side of the river to search for him.

Zhu Qimei really had no choice and decided to call her daughter, Zheng Huili.

In actuality, Zheng Huili was still hundreds of kilometers away from the provincial capital, and could not be saved by the water from far away. However, with Zhu Qimei's temper, she would look for her young daughter whenever there was a problem, and she trusted Zheng Huili the most in her family.

"Lili, let me tell you, something big happened at home." Zheng Huili had just finished her bath and when she picked up the phone, she heard Zhu Qimei's tearful voice.

"Mom, don't be in such a hurry. Slow down."

Therefore, Zhu Qimei pieced together a bunch of things. Her expression was limited, and adding on her anxious heart, it was a good thing that there was Zheng Weide to add on. Zheng Huili was confused at first, but after hearing it, she finally understood, she really did not expect that her family would cause such a commotion.

"Now, where did brother and brother-in-law go to find Miao? If it doesn't work out, I'll take a taxi back home tomorrow! " Zheng Huili was anxious.

"I heard from someone …" They are going to go up the Small Snake Island to look for someone. "

"Ah?" Am I hearing things? "

"There's nothing we can do, even Old Liang and the Mr. Wu went there."

"No way, no way. Mom, hurry and call them back. You can't go over there!"

"How can they be called back? They should be on the boat now."

"It's over …" "We're finished …" Zheng Huili's face was gloomy, as she weakly sat on the sofa.

"What do we do, Lili, come back quickly. This village is very strange these days. "

"I know, I know. "Mom, tell me again, how many people did they go to?"

"About a dozen or so people went with Gangzi, your brother-in-law, and Qin Qin."

"Brother-in-law and Xin Xin …" Zheng Huili paused for a moment, "They probably don't know where Big Sis went to back then, right?"

The sister that Zheng Huili was referring to was naturally Zheng Huiling.

"I don't know, I haven't told your brother-in-law yet." Zhu Qimei wanted to cry, but no tears came out.

"You guys wait for me to come back." With that, Zheng Huili hung up the phone.

Indeed, just as Zhu Qimei had guessed, when she and Zheng Huili had talked on the phone, Su Hong and the others had just gotten on the ship.

Su Hong also realized that the situation on the other side of the river was just as Mr. Wu had said. First, it was a pile of stones blocking the road, and when they had passed the pile of stones, they saw a few towering trees, and then they quickly arrived at the lakeside.

After a short while, Zheng Gaang arrived on the boat. Because the lake was too cold, Mr. Wu had someone prepare many large cotton-padded jackets in advance. Otherwise, the journey would have been extremely cold. Su Hong was secretly impressed by Mr. Wu's consideration for him, his way of handling matters was much more meticulous than others.

As he sat on the boat, Su Hong realized that the lake surface was colder than he had expected. Moreover, he did not know why, but he could smell the stench of the lake water. Although he could not see clearly, he was certain that the lake water was rather dirty.

The boat was made of wood and had no engines. It was manually drawn. Plus, it could not fit so many people, so it moved very slowly. Su Hong and Su Qin sat side by side, patiently waiting.

No one on the boat spoke. It was very quiet. Su Hong could tell that everyone was feeling very heavy hearted.

After about half an hour, the boat was already far away from the shore. At this moment, they were surrounded by fog, and their vision was blurry. The light from the flashlight was like a cup of water, giving them a sense of pressure.

"Dad, how much longer?" Su Qin asked. She was cold and afraid.

"It will take at least two hours to get to the Small Snake Island." Zheng Gaang replaced the answer.

"Gangzi, how do you know that you've been there?" Wang Yan asked curiously.

"When I was young, I came to the lake to catch fish. I saw that island, so I didn't go there."

"Hehe, that's true. If you had gone, you would have braided them long ago."

Wang Yan immediately stopped smiling as she said that. Because not only was this sentence not funny, it was also very unlucky.

"Pah! Swallow, you jinx, don't worry, we will definitely be fine. Maybe we'll be able to bring the child home tomorrow morning, don't you think?" A middle-aged woman said loudly.

"Hopefully." Mr. Wu sighed.
