Section 20, Wangu River (Part 2) Today's 2nd Update

Update time: 2012-08-10

But now is not the time for them to argue casually, I can only bite the bullet and say, "If you don't trust us, it's okay to come with you, but we really can't guarantee your safety. Three days, we only bring three days of food and water. Moreover, the purpose of Ye Yi leaving Fat Brother is to deal with emergencies. Professor Yun, you are highly respected in your team, so this matter is up to you to decide. Follow us, we are facing absolutely unpredictable dangers, even more dangerous than now, and the mortality rate is higher. Or listen to Ye Yi's camp here and wait for us for three days."

Zhao Lei interrupted, "Ye Yi, are you sure you want to go with Yang Guang?"

Ye nodded and said, "This is our only chance."

Zhao Lei stopped refuting and nodded and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you here. Three days later. If you don't come back and we are not dead, I'll collect your corpses."

I wanted to smile relaxedly, but the corners of my mouth couldn't crack, so I could only say with a tense face: "Brother Fat, you scare me, I believe we will not die."

The fat man patted my shoulder, and his facial features squeezed together barely separated, saying, "Be careful in everything, don't die."

I nodded heavily, but my heart was like a huge rock that was pressed down. Don’t die. How relaxed is it in my usual jokes? But at this moment, it is so heavy, so sad, so daunting.

Professor Yuntian lowered his head and communicated with Sui Xiang while we were talking, and then said, "Okay, we will wait for three days, but after three days, we will follow the signposts of the arrival of the same way."

"It's okay!" Ye nodded and replied.

At this moment, Ye Yi and I stopped delaying. While the night was not dark, we were sleepy with two dried firewood, led the horse, brought some props and three days of food to set off along the river bank.

There was no goodbye, no cool atmosphere of waving behind, nor was there any sadness in the crying of Yingying and Yanyan. Big stones pressed on all of us on the chests. Before leaving, Ye Yi ordered the two young men from Miao Village in the local dialect of Miao Village. I don’t know what they were saying, and I don’t bother to ask Ye Yi. It’s nothing more than taking care of the fat man Zhao Lei and protecting himself.

As for safety issues, I believe that Zhao Lei, who is not inferior to Ye Yi, will die for no reason... Haha, I still can't guarantee it.

Horses walking on the sandy river beach is much faster than in the jungle.

I kept thinking about Zhao Lei’s proverb, and repeatedly guessed its meaning and the background passed down.

In this lonely and empty forest, it is no longer realistic to access the Internet on your mobile phone. Even the mobile phone has been powered off due to several days of concern. Almost all the ways to contact the outside world have been cut off. The reason why we use it as a whole is because we still have two bottles of compressed hydrogen as big as lighter oil and some thick-skinned balloons. These things are the last means to be released into the sky in the end. Once the last moment, the hydrogen cylinder and balloon are our last petroglyph in this forest.

For this, Grandma Gao from Miao Village specially arranged a few people to guard the surrounding mountains, always paying attention to the clouds of the canyon with a span of 300 kilometers. Once a balloon flew out, it means that we were about to be wiped out.

At this time, I will use a portion of the hydrogen bottle, and I will use it here for the last moment.

Along the way, Ye Yi and I urged our hips silently and put down a good horse. The two horses were quite spiritual. They seemed to know the horror of the river and were willing to walk forward against the bushes. Until the sky gradually darkened, on the way, Ye Yi was looking for footprints from time to time to make sure that we were not going in the wrong direction.

At night, the bonfire was lit and a lot of firewood from the bushes was cut with a hijab. Although this thing was sharp and hard, it was very resistant to combustion. After about two shrubs were thrown into the fire, it could be guaranteed to burn for a long time. For safety reasons, Ye Yi reminded me and asked me to take out the amulet and the Five Blessings Dragon Mirror and hang it directly above our tent and outside the door curtain. Anyway, there was not even a person here, so I was not afraid of losing it.

Both of them were silent, and there were more and more thoughts in their hearts. Although we were not sure what we could find, and even the negative in my heart made me want to jump into the river. This was not said out of thin air, but a manifestation of despair. This was like the people who jumped from hundreds of meters after the 911 World Trade Center was hit by a plane. They all died in despair. And my feeling was waiting for death in despair.

Although the metaphor is a bit far-fetched, it is almost exactly the same in terms of feeling. I think this is not only me, but also Ye Yi's first time despair is it? I closed my eyes and looked for reasons to make myself stronger. I still have my mother and I have not supported me, and I have the beautiful senior Wen Yi who has not hooked up. I even helped Ye Yi fantasize about the boring trivial matters of him and Gao Nier hooked up. As much as possible, I should not let my mind be in a white, empty, and desperate existence.

The crackling bonfire was burning, and the smoke was straight and straight to the fog layer that had been opened hundreds of meters above the head. I don't know whether it was integrated into it or directly penetrated.

I was on the vigil in the first half of the night, so I sat at the door, sitting cross-legged and closed my eyes to make myself think. Anyway, there was only the sound of water, the sound of burning crackling, the sound of thick horses gasping, and the slight snoring of the leaves behind me. Only these were intertwined, no buzzing of mosquitoes, no wind at night, and no rustling concerts that flowers and trees should have.

Whenever I hear the gurgling stream, my mind is covered with thousands of white skeletons under the riverbed. They are rioting again and again, moving in my heart, constantly challenging my nerves. I don’t know how long I can hold on in such an environment! Maybe, I shouldn’t have promised Ye Yi to come here from the beginning! Maybe, I shouldn’t have intervened in such a circle from the beginning. If I was just an ordinary person, if I was just a little person selling graves, if...but, there weren’t so many if I regret it.

I was just thinking about it until Ye Yi called me softly.

I only came back to my senses from that kind of self-blame and fearful thought.

"Sorry, I fell asleep just now." I explained to myself, and a smile appeared on the corner of my mouth.

Ye Yi sat beside me, pulled a dried branch, and stirred up the bonfire in front of us, causing the bonfire to make another crackling sound. He did not speak immediately, but sat in relative silence for a long time, and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have let you come."

"I'm not at ease when you come alone." I said this because I don't want Ye Yi to be burdened with him. As a friend, he was not wrong and there was no need to apologize to me, "Let's talk about what to do next."

Ye Yi tilted his head and looked at me. He did not answer my question, but asked me: "Don't you regret it?"

"I regret it! If I had known that this place was so dangerous, I should have dragged Mr. Taiyi and Taoist Master Chunliang to come together."

"Haha..." Ye Yi shook his head and said, "I regret it."

"What's the use of regret?" My voice was slightly higher, "Ye Yi, if you collapse, there will be no hope. Don't give up."

"I know! But I have thought about this danger, because I am too confident. I have implicated you and killed two people. Maybe... more people will die." Ye Yi said negatively.

This is not Ye Yi I know!

The Ye Yi I know is a bold and reckless guy, a cold guy, a guy who can occasionally tease me! However, Ye Yi is as full of despair as we do now.

"Ye Yi, we all believe in you. You are the only hope. If you give up, we will really have a way out." I said seriously, and I came from the heart.

"Okay, I'll work hard. Take you out! You go and have a rest, and you will continue to rush tomorrow." Ye Yi seemed to be in a state of energy and continued to say anything to me. In fact, I nodded to Ye, and I turned around and crawled back into the tent, closing my eyes.

Lying in the tent, while I was half asleep and half awake, in addition to the above-mentioned streams, firewood, and horse breathing sounds, I seemed to hear another sound, as if something was knocking.

Dong! Dong! Dong…

The sound is very weak, and can only be heard on this quiet night. However, I was so tired that I didn't want to move anymore. Ye Yi outside protected me for safety, right? Gradually, I ignored this sound. It was not until the next day when Ye Yi and I discovered that thing, that we had always been wrong! No matter how we guessed, they were actually wrong, and the real direction was always in our hands.

[Supernatural Common Sense] Sometimes the mantra will ring inexplicably and don’t pick it up with curiosity! The unmanned ghost will pester you and make you hear the phone call at 12 o’clock in the morning. I know until after listening for more than 19 or 18 nights, the soul will come to lock your life!!
