165 The Stolen Book

During the day, Shennongjia seemed less dangerous, and Zhou Shang and the other two left Shennongjia according to the route they came.

Looking back at the deep Shennongjia behind him, and when we think of what happened last night, few people couldn't help but feel that Shennongjia became mysterious and hidden many unknown secrets.

Back at the guesthouse, Zhou Shang and his friends told them what they saw and heard in Shennongjia. Then Jiang Lie ordered all the team members to change into the camouflage uniforms of the special team and put on casual clothes. They were in groups of two people, looking for elderly people over 60 years old around the surrounding area to find out the mysterious phenomena in Shennongjia, and record the content of the conversation.

The members of the Wild Wolf Special Forces team were already idle and they were itchy all over. Now that they had a task, they were also excited. Soon, more than a dozen teams were dispatched.

Zhou Shang and Mingzi were not idle either. They went to the library in F County, which is the largest library in F County and should have some local collection materials.

The director warmly welcomed them. Of course, Zhou Shang just said that he was interested in the culture here in F County and wanted to find some early information to read.

The library is not big, and it is full of ordinary books. The director was excited when he heard that Zhou Shang and Mingzi were interested in F County and led them to the basement floor of the library. This was a small room with two old bookshelfs arranged in it. The bookshelf were books and newspapers that looked old.

"It's been a long time since no one is interested in the culture of F County. You are welcome to investigate." The director said happily, "I won't bother you to find information."

After saying that, the director went up and left Zhou Shang and Ming Zi.

Of course, Zhou Shang and others were not interested in the culture of F County. They wanted to find records about Shennongjia in these old-time information.

The two of them searched through it for a whole morning and got a clue. There were some notes on books and notes from the Ming and Qing dynasties in the library, which recorded some strange stories and stories about the savages in Shennongjia.

However, the appearance characteristics of the savages described in those books are different from the monsters Zhou Shang and others encountered in Shennongjia last time.

In the library, Zhou Shang and Mingzi accidentally found sightings from the Cultural Revolution period that were almost the 1960s. There is a record that describes a monster in Shennongjia, and this monster is somewhat the same as the monster I encountered last time.

They are all very strong, very fast, have a certain IQ, and they are all terrifying creatures that they have never seen before when they look at their appearance.

There are almost no records of savages in the records around the 1960s, as if the savages disappeared.

It's very strange here. The savages recorded in the Ming and Qing Dynasties disappeared in the 1960s, and were replaced by that kind of monster.

What's going on here?

The two continued to search among the old books. There was a book area that was almost all about the mysterious events and creatures of Shennongjia, but there were a few books missing in the middle of the row of books. It seemed that someone had taken them away from the middle.

These books describe the period from the late Qing Dynasty to the founding of the Xia Kingdom. This period was also a period when the savages and monsters were divided. But these books were gone.

Then they found a thick F-County County Chronicle, which recorded in detail all the things that happened locally since the Ming Dynasty, and of course many things in Shennongjia, but when it was recorded that it was the late Qing Dynasty, the county Chronicle had broken pages!

Many pages inside were torn off!

This is not a coincidence. It seems that someone took the lead and tried to hide all the matters in Shennongjia for a while. The key to exploring the matter should be the historical records of that period.

The two called the director. The director looked at the stolen books and the torn pages, and it was obvious that he was unaware of it.

Zhou Shang looked at the places where the books were stolen, and it was covered with dust. It was obvious that it had been stolen for a long time. The director also confirmed that the door lock of the underground library had never been changed. It can be seen that the thief did not break in with force.

There is only one possibility: it is an internal thief!

The director scratched his head. The library in F County is not big, and even the director has a total of three employees. Moreover, the keys to underground books have been kept by the director in recent years.

"Oh, there was a strange librarian named Cheng Fan in our library. When he worked here, he was always taciturn, giving people a mysterious feeling. But he resigned very early." The director thought for a while and said with a smile, "I don't mean he stole it, haha."

Well, Zhou Shang nodded and walked out of the library with Mingzi.

At this time, they also knew that if they wanted to learn more about Shennongjia, they had to find the lost pages of books and county annals. If they wanted to find these things, they had to find the person who stole these things.

Cheng Fan? Could it be that he stole it? If so, then what is the purpose of his stealing these things? Does he want to hide something or do he want to study it himself?

In any case, does the person who steals these things have anything to do with the monsters in Shennongjia?

Just when Zhou Shang and Mingzi walked out of the library, they didn't expect that in front of the window of a building near the library, there were eyes hiding behind the curtains and quietly observing them.

The two came to the guesthouse and met with Jiang Lie and the others.

Jiang Lie conducted a conversation and investigation among the local elderly people, and the results obtained were roughly the same as those found by Zhou Shangmingzi in the library.

However, Jiang Lie and the others had other information, that is, a group of strange people appeared in Shennongjia around the time before the founding of Xia Kingdom. However, these people were too mysterious and strange, so the local old people didn't know much about this.

When Zhou Shang and Mingzi heard this, they knew that this was consistent with the books that disappeared in the library. What these old people should be talking about was the content of the missing books in the county annals.

However, these books were stolen by some people.

The most important thing now is to find the person who steals books. Although Cheng Fan may not have been the one who steals books, he is indeed the most suspicious.

Ming Zi acted decisively and was ready to go out to find Cheng Fan, the employee who had worked as an administrator in the library.

Zhou Shang followed him to the door of the guesthouse. The female boss Bai Jie quietly stopped Zhou Shang. She pulled Zhou Shang aside: "I have been observing you for a long time. I see that you seem to be very interested in Shennongjia. My father-in-law often chopped wood and picked herbs in Shennongjia when he was young. He seemed to have seen many strange things. I think you can find him to know about it."

Zhou Shang looked at her skeptically, and Bai Jie smiled, with a charming and casual style: "If you want to go, prepare to come to the back hall to find me in half an hour, and you can only go alone. My father-in-law doesn't like too many people."

After saying that, Bai Jie turned around and entered the back hall.

Zhou Shang thought for a moment. Although Bai Jie's words were a bit strange, Bai Jie looked like she was just a weak young woman. What could she do to herself?

And if her father-in-law really knew something, it might be helpful to explore the secrets of Shennongjia. She is a top killer and she would not have any problems.

Thinking of this, Zhou Shang made up his mind and discussed with Ming Zi and Jiang Lie for a while. Zhou Shang temporarily went to see Bai Jie's father-in-law, while Jiang Lie, Ming Zi and others went to find Cheng Fan.

Bai Jie's father-in-law was not in F County, but in a small mountain village below. Bai Jie handed over the guesthouse to the client to take care of, cleaned up a little, and then took a bumpy country bus with Zhou Shang.

When you come to the small mountain village, Bai Jie has a very good figure and looks even more swaying and colorful when walking on the mountain road, just like a beautiful lily blooming in the mountains.

Bai Jie's father-in-law is the father of her ex-husband, but Bai Jie's ex-husband has died of accident. However, Bai Jie still often sees her father-in-law.

Pushing open the wood door, my father-in-law sat in the yard, shaking his palm-leaf fan, and asked with his head tilted, "Is Jie'er here?"

Only then did Zhou Shang notice that Bai Jie's father-in-law was blind, and Bai Jie told him that his father-in-law's hearing was not very good, and this was all the harm left by encountering dangerous things in Shennongjia.

Bai Jie and her father-in-law exchanged a while and then told her the purpose of her trip.

Then Bai Jie smiled at Zhou Shang, signaled him to come over and talk to his father-in-law, and then went to the kitchen to cook dinner by herself.

Bai Jie was cooking, and in the yard, Zhou Shang and his father-in-law were having a good conversation.

Unexpectedly, Bai Jie's father-in-law was a soldier before. He fought the Anti-Japanese War and killed many people. He also had a common language with Zhou Shang.

Maybe it was because I haven't told anyone about my heart for a long time, or maybe no one really understood his past. Bai Jie's father-in-law met Zhou Shang, just like he met a confidant, and the two of them were very talkative.

Zhou Shang did not ask about Shennongjia at first, but talked to his father-in-law about his views on killing enemies, fighting and death.

Bai Jie's father-in-law also appreciated Zhou Shang's insights on killing the enemy and how he was a human being. After all, one was a soldier and the other was a killer, and they were often somewhat similar.

It was not until the relationship seemed very harmonious that Zhou Shang began to ask about Shennongjia. At this time, Bai Jie's father-in-law had already regarded Zhou Shang as a close friend, so he knew everything.

What he said was a lot and a lot of things. Zhou Shang heard something he didn't know before. Bai Jie's father-in-law said that during the Anti-Japanese War, a special Japanese army unit arrived here. I don't know what purpose it was. I heard that the Japanese army was also going to explore Shennongjia, but the result was nothing.

The two talked for a while. It was late at this time and the mountains soon became dark. It seemed that they had to stay here for one night tonight.

Bai Jie's supper was also prepared. The three of them had a simple supper and prepared to go to bed.

Zhou Shang was lying on the bed made of bamboo in a small thatched hut, with the two of them piling behind his head. He vaguely felt that this Japanese army was a little strange in exploring the Shennongjia, but he couldn't figure it out at the moment if it was strange.

It was a summer night, and the evening breeze in the mountains blew in from the windows of the thatched hut, which was quite cool. Such a quiet night made Zhou Shang, who had not had piston movement for a long time, feel a little hot. He couldn't help but feel the white figure walking on the mountain road during the day.

The round butt symbolized a soft and delicate feeling. It burned Zhou Shang like a fire, and Bai Jie was sleeping next to her. At this time, she should have taken off her clothes and only wore underwear.

At this moment, a plump figure appeared at the door.
