Because everyone is from the same village, everyone is familiar with each other, and there are basically no outsiders, so everyone's children are left like this, and no one thinks there is a problem.

But when Jin Dashan and his wife returned home in the afternoon, Jin Yun'er was missing. There were so many children in the village, but she was the only one missing. All the other children of the same age were there.

After asking around, I found out that the other kids didn’t notice it either.

The missing child was a big deal, so Village Chief Jin immediately organized people to go up the mountain to look for the child overnight, but no matter how hard they looked, they couldn't find the child.

Finally they called the police and Cheng Feng came, but the terrain was too complicated and Cheng Feng had no choice but to put the case on hold.

It would have been fine if others couldn't find the missing person, but Jin Dashan and his wife refused to give up. They started looking everywhere, first in the mountains, then in Jinzhou, and later in nearby places.

Village chief Jin took out several crudely printed missing person notices, which were printed by Jin Dashan and his wife and posted everywhere.

During this period, they came back a few times, but left in a hurry every time. Their family was emptied out and the villagers felt sorry for them.

A few days ago, the couple suddenly came back and brought Xu Sihan back with them. They were so happy.

The villagers also went to see, and no one doubted that this was not Jin Yun'er, because they looked so similar.

Ye Lin thought to himself, yes, they are similar, so similar that he can't tell them apart.

"But some people think it's a bit strange that the child has become less talkative," Village Chief Jin continued.

"Maybe he is not used to the new environment." Cheng Feng said on the side. He still firmly believes in his own way.

"I think so too, but..." Village Chief Jin suddenly got stuck and stopped talking.

"Just talk about whatever you want to say. We are all so familiar with each other now, right?" Ye Lin said with a smile.

They can be said to have become acquainted with each other through fighting, and Village Chief Jin is quite impressed by Ye Lin.

"I was about to say something and you said we were feudal and superstitious, and you also said we were ignorant," complained Village Chief Jin.

"It's okay. This matter is already weird enough. Let's talk about it. Maybe we can find out something." Ye Lin said easily.

"Okay, then I'll tell you. There's an old bachelor in our village. When Jin Yun'er came back, everyone came to see her. He came too, but he froze when he saw Jin Yun'er."

"Then he suddenly screamed 'Ghost!' and ran out like crazy. No one could stop him. He went crazy after returning home."

"Everyone said that there was something unclean about Jin Yun'er, so that's why he was scared crazy."

Village Chief Jin was getting a little scared by what he said, and his voice became more and more mysterious.

Cheng Feng felt as if a gust of cold wind was blowing past him, and he shivered all over.

Ye Lin frowned. Did he go crazy after seeing Jin Yun'er?

Ye Lin didn't believe in any ghosts.

"Can you take me to see it?" Ye Lin said.

"Okay, but he starts yelling when he sees people, so you won't be able to get anything out of him if you go." Village Chief Jin did not refuse.

This bachelor is called Jin Cheng, he is 42 years old this year. Because his family is poor and he himself is not ambitious and lazy, he has never married.

He has been living alone since his parents passed away.

Jin Cheng's house looks rather shabby and has never been renovated. It seems that he is indeed a lazy man.

"Jin Cheng, I brought people to see you." After Village Chief Jin arrived at the door, he did not go in immediately, but stood at the door and shouted a few words.

Seeing no response, Village Chief Jin pushed the door open and walked in. The door was ajar.

When I opened the door, a musty smell hit me in the face, mixed with the stench of feces and urine.

Village Chief Jin fanned the wind in disdain and explained, "Now he's stupid and can't even take care of his own shit and urine. He poops everywhere. You better be careful."

The light shone in through the door, and just as the village chief said, the man had gone crazy. There was feces and urine scattered on the ground, and the house was a mess. It was not a place where a normal person could survive.

On the bed in the corner, there was a middle-aged man curled up with disheveled hair, a dark face, and wearing dirty clothes.

When he saw Village Chief Jin come in, he just smiled foolishly and didn't say anything.

"Jin Cheng, this is Captain Ye, the police from Yuezhou. He has something to ask you." Village Chief Jin shouted.

"Hehehe." Jin Cheng could still understand a little bit. He turned his head and looked at Ye Lin, but he couldn't speak and could only smile foolishly.

Ye Lin had no experience on how to communicate with such a crazy person.

He moved closer and shouted like Village Chief Jin: "My name is Ye Lin, and I want to ask you something."

The response I got was still a few chuckles, as if this was the answer no matter what I asked.

"Do you know Jin Yuner?" Ye Lin continued to shout loudly.

This time there was a reaction, but it seemed a bit too big.

When Jin Cheng heard the name Jin Yun'er and looked at Ye Lin imitating the little girl, he suddenly cried out in surprise, "Ghost, there is a ghost!"

The expression on his face was distorted in an extremely strange way, and his eyes were blank, staring into the air, as if there was something in the air.

Ye Lin reached out his hand and touched the air in front of him, and found a ball of air.

"Don't look for me, don't look for me." Jin Cheng suddenly hugged his head and screamed in pain, then he jumped up from the bed, using his hands and feet, and rushed out of the room like a wild beast.

He ran so fast that I didn't know where he was going.

This ghostly action scared everyone, and the way he looked in the air just now was really terrifying.

Cheng Feng quickly retreated, feeling the warmth of the sun for the first time.

"Well, that's it. He just smiles foolishly no matter what you ask him. And then he goes crazy and runs away when you mention Jin Yun'er." Village Chief Jin looked speechless.

"Would he be like this before?" Ye Lin asked.

"No, he was a little bit weird before, and liked to worship Buddha or something, but he was still a normal person." Village Chief Jin said.

"Worship Buddha?" Ye Lin asked doubtfully. Generally speaking, ethnic minorities have their own beliefs, and not many of them worship Buddha.

"Yes, go outside and take a look." Village chief Jin took Ye Lin to the backyard, where there was a small earthen house. There was nothing else inside except a statue of Buddha, but it was not made of gold, but ceramic, and looked a bit inferior.

"He likes to pray to Buddha when he has nothing to do. This is what his mother left behind."

Village Chief Jin explained.

Ye Lin walked in and saw that the incense ash was still hot. This guy had gone crazy but still didn't forget to burn incense.

"Does everyone in your village believe this?" Ye Lin turned around and asked.

"No, most of us don't believe in these things. We worship the mountain god because we believe that everything is given to us by the mountain god."

"But there was another family over there who originally believed in this, but they died, leaving only a daughter."

Ye Lin nodded. This was quite normal. The beliefs of some ethnic groups were generally closely related to their place of survival.
