Chapter 25: She will never be able to bring the murderer to justice herself.

Chapter 25 She will never be able to bring the murderer to justice herself.

Danggui’s behavior was very abnormal.

Sheng Jia had a deep impression of this sleek macaque, and her performance in the temple made her feel very humane.

So now Danggui’s behavior of grabbing her pant leg and trying to lead her into the mountains confused her.

Sheng Jia got off the electric scooter and tentatively patted Danggui’s paw that was grabbing her pant leg.

Seeing this, Danggui released her hand as expected, but her anxious expression did not change at all. She “squeaked” twice, took two steps into the woods, then turned her head. Seeing that Sheng Jia didn’t move, she came back and grabbed her pant leg, trying to pull her in.

“Sheng Jia, do you know her?” Song Ji’an couldn’t help but ask. She was a little curious and squatted down, looking at the fluffy monkey in front of her.

“She is a friend of the abbot in Fajin Temple.” Probably remembering what Master Feng had said to her that day, the word “pet” hovered on her lips for a moment, but she finally used the word “friend” to describe Danggui.

Her brow furrowed slightly, and she searched for the contact information of Fajin Temple on her phone, and then made a call.

The beeping sound of the call rang twice and was picked up, and a gentle female voice came: “Hello, this is Fajin Temple.”

“Hello, Danggui from your temple is with me. It seems that she needs our help.” Sheng Jia briefly explained the current situation and her location. After receiving a reply from the other party saying that someone would be sent over soon, she hung up the phone.

While she was on the phone, Song Ji’an didn’t know when she became familiar with Danggui, and she was actually able to touch her head.

Her actions attracted the curiosity of many students who were still exploring the route. The bolder ones gathered around, looking in surprise at the monkey that suddenly appeared by the roadside.

But Danggui had a lot of personality. She only allowed Sheng Jia and Song Ji’an to touch her. When other students tried to get close, she bared her teeth and drove them away. Song Ji’an had just given her a banana, but probably because the anxiety in her heart had not been resolved, she held it tightly and had no intention of eating it.

Seeing that Sheng Jia had finished the call, she squeaked again, pointing her finger into the mountains while calling.

“I called Master Feng, they will be here soon, can you wait a little longer?” Sheng Jia rarely patiently squatted down to look at her.

This time, Danggui made a sharp explosive sound, which startled the people around watching the excitement. Her sharp claws grabbed Sheng Jia’s wrist, this time with great force, pulling her forward.

“Hey!” Song Ji’an reacted quickly and grabbed Sheng Jia’s other hand, anxiously shouting, “Danggui! You will hurt Sheng Jia!”

Danggui then realized something, released Sheng Jia’s hand, and instead clenched her sweatpants, then jumped into the woods.

“Wait a minute,” Sheng Jia stood still, “I’ll go with you, don’t worry.”

Although animals have spirituality, their communication is very one-sided. Sheng Jia didn’t understand what Danggui wanted to do, and Danggui didn’t understand whether she would go with her or not.

“We don’t know what’s in these mountains, how can we follow her?” Song Ji’an disagreed, but looking at Danggui’s appearance of tightly holding Sheng Jia and not letting go, she still said, “I’ll go with you.”

“Hey? Are you from class one?”

As the two were talking, someone in the crowd recognized them. Song Ji’an took a closer look and only felt that the other person looked familiar, but Sheng Jia recognized her. This was the girl who had argued most fiercely with class one about the teacher’s time allocation some time ago.

But since the competitive agreement, her hostility towards class one had long since disappeared. The anger of girls of this age comes and goes quickly. Later, they even often made appointments with class one to play ball in physical education class. Just now, she participated in the whole process of Sheng Jia taking them to familiarize themselves with the route. Now, if she doesn’t admire Sheng Jia, then she can at least say she admires her.

After listening to the whole process, she suggested: “It seems that this little monkey really has something urgent. It’s not safe for you to go in alone, why don’t we go in with you?”

There were seven or eight girls from class two who came with her. Out of their natural curiosity and concern for the safety of Sheng Jia and Song Ji’an, they were not opposed to this suggestion.

Sheng Jia thought for a moment and accepted their suggestion.

It was a bit dangerous to go into the mountains alone, but it was no problem for ten people to enter the mountains in a mighty manner.

While they were talking, Danggui quietly waited for them to finish. After Sheng Jia touched her head and asked her to lead the way, she pulled on the hem of Sheng Jia’s clothes and led her into the woods.

The shady road in summer was full of cicada noises, and the mountains were even more deafening, but most of the girls who regarded this as an adventure looked around at the beautiful scenery.

Because of the shade of the trees, the soil was not dry, but very soft. Occasionally, some sunlight penetrated through the gaps in the leaves and fell on everyone. It was no longer the scorching sun, but a gentle light, each ray showing the Tyndall effect vividly.

Danggui led the group about a hundred meters into the depths of the forest, and she suddenly became excited, released Sheng Jia’s pant leg, and ran forward.

Sheng Jia, who had been quite vigilant, noticed something was wrong.

“Don’t talk yet.” She looked down at the soil in front of her, her expression slightly stiff.

Song Ji’an followed her gaze, and her expression suddenly became serious. She squatted down and touched the soil, and her fingertips were immediately stained with a dark red color.

The soil in this area was mainly red soil, but it could be said to be red soil, but the color was more like a dark orange, which was not very easy to show color.

But the color of this small piece of soil was obviously darker than other places, and it also appeared more viscous.

“Look!” someone suddenly shouted from behind.

Everyone’s eyes followed the direction of her finger, and they saw Danggui struggling to dig something. Only when they got closer could they see a section of the corner of a dress and a face so pale that it had no color at all exposed in the sunken pit.

Everyone screamed suddenly, almost turning around and running away in fright.

Until she was interrupted by Danggui’s roar, she looked at them anxiously, and then came over to grab Sheng Jia’s pant leg, wanting to pull her to the pit to help her dig together.

Sheng Jia’s hands trembled a little, and her heart beat wildly, staggering from being pulled.

“Call the police, call the police quickly.” She said as calmly as possible.

“Yes, yes, call the police quickly.” Suppressing her fear, Song Ji’an quickly took out her phone and dialed 110. The other side quickly answered, “Hello, this is the Jingjiang City Public Security Bureau.”

At this moment, Song Ji’an didn’t even dare to look into the pit, and quickly said, “We found a person buried in the soil.”

“What?” The female police officer on the other side’s tone immediately became serious, “Where is your specific location?”

“We are at…” Song Ji’an looked around. She usually didn’t have the habit of remembering specific road names. A girl from class two quickly interjected, “The first mountain at the entrance of Huahai North Road, about one hundred meters east.”

Song Ji’an immediately turned on the speakerphone, and the girl repeated the address again.

“Don’t be afraid, try to stay where you are and pay attention to safety. We will be there soon.” The female police officer on the other side said as gently as possible.

After the phone was hung up, in the huge forest, only Danggui’s voice of digging soil up and down was left.

Everyone was terribly quiet.

Song Ji’an took a few steps forward and mustered up the courage to look at the woman in the pit. The other person looked to be in her twenties, not much older than them.

Seeing that they had called the police, Sheng Jia also suppressed her fear and raised her hand to explore under her nose.

There was no breath at all, and then she put her hand on the other person’s neck, her brow furrowed, and after ten seconds she suddenly said, “She’s still breathing.”

These words made the crowd who had just been extremely fearful stunned.

Song Ji’an’s heart beat wildly, and she also learned Sheng Jia’s actions and put her hand on her neck, and also felt a faint pulse.

“Dig her out, the soil under her chest is compacted, she will not be able to breathe if she is still alive.” After Sheng Jia said, she immediately knelt on the edge of the pit, digging soil with her hands like Danggui.

Seeing this, Song Ji’an also hurriedly helped. The two knelt on the edge of the pit and dug hard. When they looked down again, they found several pairs of hands around them. The companions who came in together also followed them and surrounded the pit to dig.

“She’s really still breathing, the air she breathed just sprayed on my hand,” someone said while crying, “Who is so cruel to bury someone alive?”

The pit was so tight that it took ten of them more than ten minutes to dig out the woman’s chest. It was buried too deep. At this moment, the seams of their fingernails were full of soil, but no one cared.

The woman seemed to be inserted vertically. After her upper body was dug out, she leaned softly on the mound. Song Ji’an leaned over to her chest and listened, and it was still an extremely weak heartbeat.

Everyone was already a little exhausted, but fortunately, within two minutes, a large number of footsteps approached, and the police medical staff quickly arrived. They brought shovels and quickly dug the woman out and put her on a stretcher.

“You did a good job,” Liu, the team leader, said to the students in front of her who were covered in embarrassment, “Are you injured?”

Her concerned gaze swept over a few people, and she said seriously, “Next time you encounter this kind of situation, you should actually wait for the police and professionals to come and rescue, so as not to cause secondary damage to the victim.”

“But you are very brave, very good,” she said, “Now I need to ask you to come back to the police station with me to take a statement and provide psychological assistance, okay?”

Just now, in order to prevent a life from being lost in their fear, everyone tried to ignore their psychological emotions and prioritize rescue. Now, looking back, they still feel cold sweat all over their bodies.

Song Ji’an’s face was pale, and she showed a trace of fatigue. She sat on a large stone and took a deep breath of turbid air.

Sheng Jia had wiped her hands clean after digging the pit. She stood beside her, letting the other person rest her head on her waist.

Song Ji’an turned her head and buried her face in Sheng Jia’s clothes, rubbing it slightly.

“My clothes are quite dirty,” Sheng Jia reminded.

During the process of digging the soil just now, her clothes were covered with a lot of mud, and there might even be dried blood stains.

Song Ji’an sniffed, “It’s okay, Sheng Jia, aren’t you afraid?”

No, Sheng Jia was also afraid, but she knew how to disguise. She never showed fear on her face. She had been like this since she was a child, and it had almost become a habit, making others think that she didn’t have much emotional fluctuation.

She raised her hand and touched Song Ji’an’s head to comfort her. Seeing this, Danggui also imitated Sheng Jia and touched Song Ji’an’s head.

Feeling the sharp claws, Song Ji’an then raised her head, a little bit dumbfounded at Danggui.

“Danggui, your claws are the dirt that I can’t bear.”

Sheng Jia’s clothes were at most a little muddy, and she could find a clean place to relax. Danggui had dug the soil the hardest just now, and her hands were full of mud, and she hadn’t washed them yet.

Danggui didn’t understand, only felt that her emotions seemed to be better, tilted her head and grinned, looking very proud.

Song Ji’an was amused by her small appearance, and the heaviness in her heart was also alleviated a lot because of this.

Just as the two were waiting for the police to take them to the police car, the people from Huajin Temple finally arrived.

It was Master Feng who came. She didn’t know which mountain she had come down from urgently. She was still carrying a medicine basket on her back, and her feet were covered with thick mud. She breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that Danggui was okay.

Master Feng glanced at Sheng Jia and obviously recognized who she was, and smiled at her, “So it’s you, no wonder Danggui would ask you for help.”

Sheng Jia: “Hmm?”

Master Feng explained: “Danggui was hurt by humans before, she doesn’t like people very much, and she doesn’t get close to anyone except me. But last time she liked you very much in the temple, this time if she hadn’t met you, maybe Danggui would have to wait until I came back to take me here.”

Monkeys are not human, and she is still a little afraid of people. Even if she wants to save people, she will only look for people she trusts.

It should be said that the girl buried in the soil was really lucky. First, she encountered Danggui, who was routinely patrolling the mountains. After Danggui helped her dig out her head, she went out to ask for help and happened to find Sheng Jia, whom she knew.

Otherwise, if it was any later, she might have suffocated to death, or her chest was compressed, causing organ failure.

She will never be able to bring the murderer to justice herself.
