Gran held my hand, and I could feel her nervousness.

"Something really happened. Judging from the incense, there are many dangers. The Great Desolate Mountain is a place devoid of people, so it is normal for some situations to occur." Gu Lvhan said seriously.

"Why don't we go to the desolate mountain to have a look? We should look for the mountain." Gu Lvhan revealed his thought.

I agreed immediately.

"I'll go with you." Old Wang quickly said.

I think the Old Wang wanted to see his son before he dies.

"Alright, you guys go ahead. I'm too old to walk anymore, so if you find Big Mountain, bring him back quickly. I hope they'll all be fine. These kids." The old granny shook her head and said.

Old Wang knelt down to the old granny, kowtowed to her, then stood up and left with us.

After walking out, I asked softly, "Old Wang, after your head kowtows, are you not planning to come back?"

"If I find my son, I won't be coming back." Old Wang said somewhat sorrowfully.

"There's still time. It will only be 12 o'clock at night. There's no rush." Gu Lvhan also said.

"The closer we get to our home, the more afraid we are to see mother and son." Old Wang said.

I understand Old Wang's feelings, let the sadness quietly flow. There are some things that do not need to be explained.

"Do you know the way to that desolate mountain?" I asked the Old Wang.

After all, Gu Lvhan and I are not clear about this.

"Of course I know about that. When I was young, I went to that barren mountain quite a few times to play." The Old Wang said, and a smile appeared on his face.

Thinking about it, my childhood was beautiful, I think the Old Wang remembered the pure happiness back then.

The roads in the village were all dirt roads, and there wasn't even a cement road, let alone a asphalt road.

After walking for half an hour, a few people walked past us in twos and threes. They didn't talk to us as we were unfamiliar with each other.

No matter what, we are now at the foot of the mountains, covered with weeds. Old Wang shouted twice but there was no response.

"Where did these kids go?" Old Wang looked into the distance.

"Let's go and search on the mountain. There might be some clues." I smiled and looked towards Old Wang.

Old Wang nodded and the three of us quickly headed up the mountain.

The road up the mountain is not easy, but we are also struggling to walk, otherwise what else can we do?

Very quickly, I found some clues.

"Look, the grass has been pressed down. Someone must have been here." I said to Old Wang and Gu Lvhan.

The grass here was the kind that was very short. If one stepped on it, they would be able to see it.

So it wasn't easy to find something, but I did.

This proves that my observation skills are still working.

"That's true. It seems like they are heading in this direction. Let's hurry up and go there." Gu Lvhan said as he walked forward.

But after walking for half a day, we didn't find the children.

It was as if they had evaporated from the sky.

Time slowly passed. During the process of searching, it was already 2 in the afternoon.

I saw that Old Wang was extremely anxious.

"Hey, look here."

I suddenly saw a tennis shoe, I thought, must be a classmate, left here.

After seeing this scene, I was a little nervous. This meant that it was possible that something had really happened to them.

"Quickly find them. Otherwise, I think something really bad will happen to them."

Old Wang said anxiously.

"Phew, is there anyone up there?"

Suddenly, a voice came from the bottom of a hill.

There were too many trees in front of us to see what was going on below.

"Right, is Mountain here?" Old Wang called out nervously.

"Yes, but he went into a cave and hasn't come out yet. You guys come over quickly and take a look. One of our companions is injured, so we can't go home now."

Hearing this, I was a little nervous, but also happy. I finally found them.

"Don't worry, we'll come down to save you now." Gu Lvhan said loudly to them.

The children must have been terrified down there.

They were both high school or junior high students. In a village, their families weren't well off, so they wanted to find scorpions to exchange for money.

"It's too dangerous, and the scorpions are poisonous." I looked at them, not understanding.

"Big sister, this scorpion can be sold for two or three dollars a day. We can catch a few more a day and exchange them for some money so that our family can live a better life."

"Yeah, if they're big, they can sell for five yuan each."

These students, they are all very pure, they just want their home to be better, this also really touched me.

Compared to them, I feel that my life before was too comfortable.

Beside these students, there was a cave the size of a person.

These students all said that Wang Dashan had slipped inside.

"Amongst us, Wang Dashan is the bravest, he said that there might be scorpions in this kind of cave, so he went in by himself, wanting to take a look, but it has already been more than half an hour and he still hasn't come out.

There were a total of four classmates. Wang Dashan had gone in, and there were three who were anxiously waiting outside. However, even after waiting for so long, they still had not returned.

It was hard to say what exactly had happened.

"How about we go in and take a look?" Gu Lvhan looked at me.

I immediately nodded my head, if no one else entered, I would not know whether Wang Dashan was dead or alive.

"I want to go in too." The Old Wang insisted on following us inside.

But the cave was too tall, the Old Wang couldn't even climb up.

"You're already a bit old, so you don't need to go. You just have the two of us. Do you still not trust us?" Gu Lvhan waved his hand at Old Wang.

Old Wang still went down in the end.

"You have to bring Mountain out, please." Old Wang said nervously.

After Old Wang finished speaking, he clasped his hands towards us.

"Don't worry." I waved towards Old Wang and immediately went into the cave.

There was some light in the first ten meters, but in the end, there was no light at all.

"I can't do it anymore. I can't see anything in front of me. Hurry up and light up the candles." I said to Gu Lvhan who was behind me.
