Dad Qing was resting on the ground, and thought it was strange that I moved to a mountain village, so he remembered a story. When he was young, he was the captain of the militia. He was ordered by his superiors to go to the top of the mountain every night to guard against Taiwan sending planes to drop spies.At that time, the southeast wind was blowing in the spring and summer, and the Taiwan side had released large balloons, airdropped some leaflets, biscuits, pictures of beauties, etc., and declared that the "third world war" and "counterattack on the mainland" were about to begin.

Lao Qing really wanted to receive biscuits and sugar, but he didn't receive anything. One day, he found a person in a tree, pushed him, and found that the other person's face was livid and his body was cold, so he fled out of his wits.The deceased was a woman in her forties, with a mole on the base of her left ear, and there were no signs of struggle or rape on her body.She didn't carry a basket or load, she didn't look like a farmer; she didn't wear a watch or a pen, she didn't look like a cadre.There were only a few dollars and a scrap bus ticket in his pocket, and the origin and destination of the car could not be seen from the ticket-this was only known after the fact.

Lao Qing ran down the mountain desperately.Later, all the people from the People's Armed Forces Department and the Public Security Bureau of the county came, but nothing was found.Lao Qing led the militiamen to protect the scene and took turns guarding the female corpse until the corpse gradually stinks and maggots, and then he was allowed to bury a pile of carrion hastily on the mountain.Those few days were really not the life of a human being.Lao Qing was the team leader, so he had to take the lead and be brave. He had to go up the mountain on a night when the sky was high and the moon was dark. The cry of wild animals, and the whistling of branches and leaves in the wind.One night, when it rained heavily, his whole body seemed to be washed with water. Tears, urine, rain, and uncontrollable cold sweat flowed together.

I don't know if it was a hallucination, but when the lightning flashed, he found that the deceased had sat up, he was so frightened that he yelled out and passed out immediately.He said that he would never be a militia captain again-this is a later story. The origin of the deceased has never been explained.It is said that there are no missing persons nearby. The Public Security Bureau notified the whole county, the whole province, and even the whole country, but no missing person with a mole on the left ear was found in any of them.Even when the Taiwan Strait was very tense, when all suspicious persons were checked most closely, the matter still became a strange unsolved case.

I heard later that there are actually many unsolved cases in this world.The wife of a friend of mine is not mentally ill. One day she went to the factory to visit her daughter, but she never returned home, and I don’t know where she went.A teacher of a friend of mine lived a normal life when he was under the worst political persecution, but one day after Ping’s reinstatement, he went out on a bicycle and disappeared from the world. , relatives searched repeatedly but did not know whereabouts.Some experts told me: There are not a few such missing persons, and they happen almost every day. Where are these people?They abandon their home for no reason, but in fact they do.Like the mysterious visitor on the mountain, they may be summoned by a distant mountain and choose their destination in the dense forest where there are few people.

Her name will never be known.I can only say that she may be a destined wanderer, a spy sent by God to conduct some kind of secret investigation on the earth, keeping her sacred mission secret.
