Not only was Tan Xuan able to sleep normally, but he was also able to sleep until dawn. When sleeping became a luxury, he really didn't want to wake up when he could fall asleep.
Tan Xuan slept with Xiao Di in his arms. The relationship was there anyway, and it wasn't like dry firewood was hard to control when it was exposed to a fierce fire. They just slept in each other's arms, without taking off their clothes, and they were really in love but only polite.
However, they slept soundly, but Tang Miao found it difficult to fall asleep. At dawn, when he heard someone getting up in the east room, Tang Miao called up Tan Xuan and Xiao Di.
I was finally clean, and it felt so good to sleep until dawn. But after I woke up and thought about it again, Tan Xuan couldn't be happy again. The voice disappeared, and now I don't have to be possessed, but I tried it in my dream.
The chance was gone, everything returned to normal, and Tan Xuan didn't know whether it was good or bad now.
"Girl, I heard the old man said that you are going to the mountains. It's too evil there, so you can't go."
While having breakfast, Gao Jianmin's wife served Tang Miao a meal and gave her some kind words.
Tang Miao said with a smile: "It's okay, don't look at us young. We all have experience in exploring. What's more, we have brought equipment, so we are not afraid of monsters."
"Ms. Tang, have you told your family about your intention to go into the mountains?"
Gao Jianmin asked from the side.
"As I said, my family contacted me whether I live with you or not. They support me in taking risks. People, you should try it while you are young, otherwise you will only have regrets when you get older.
"
Gao Jianmin shook his head helplessly, took out a cigarette, put it in his mouth and stuffed it back into the cigarette case.
"Girl, this is no joke. The mountains are really dangerous. If something happens, it will be too late for you to regret it."
"It's okay, auntie, we are prepared."
It's hard to persuade a damned ghost with good words. Seeing that Tang Miao was indifferent, Gao Jianmin's wife stopped talking and just sighed helplessly.
"Director Gao, you said yesterday that there was a devil living in the mountains. Do you know where that devil came from?" Tan Xuan picked up an egg and asked while peeling it off.
Gao Jianmin shook his head, "Who knows? Everyone who met him is dead. It's too late to hide. Who dares to investigate him? We'll be thankful if he doesn't come down from the mountain to harm us."
"Haha, is that right?" Tan Xuan smiled and continued to ask: "Then after the people from your village went into the mountains and had an accident, who told you not to cross Erdaolingzi? That guy lived in Erdao
Over there at Lingzi?"
"That's not it." Gao Jianmin shook his head like a rattle. "When my second uncle came back, he said there was a ghost. I couldn't tell what kind of ghost it was, let alone where he lived. I just picked up wild fruits from his pocket.
It was inferred that they were not close, because that kind of fruit was not available in the mountains and forests near us. Later, the village found a local great fairy to show it, and said that they had provoked the evil spirits that had grown up in the mountains and violated the territory of the evil spirits, so
He just died. Da Xian'er had a fight with that guy. Although the guy was injured, Da Xian'er's vitality was also severely damaged. In order to prevent anyone from getting into trouble again, Da Xian'er asked us not to go to the mountains anymore. At the same time, under Da Xian'er's protection
Next, the villagers moved many ancestral graves in the mountains to Erdaolingzi, but due to time constraints, many of the graves were not moved back. Da Xianer set up a magic circle at Erdaolingzi to intercept the evil spirits, and let the
As a new cemetery, Erdaolingzi uses the heroic spirits of the ancestors in the village to protect the village. If the evil ghost dares to go down the mountain, the ancestors in the village will not spare him."
Tan Xuan smiled slightly, "It sounds quite generous and tragic, but this happened so many years ago. Maybe the evil ghost has been gone for a long time, but no one told you."
"What are you talking about?" Gao Jianmin glanced at Tan Xuan unhappily, "I shouldn't have said this to you. Although you young people may not believe these ghost stories, you must go into the mountain.
I think it’s better to tell you. Also, I saw a man go into the mountains a few days ago, and he hasn’t come out for so many days. I guess it’s a bad thing. So, I advise you to think about it. If it’s true,
If you regret it when you are in danger, it will be too late. Don’t think I’m nagging, I really do it for your own good. You are young and your life is more important than anything else. Why take risks when you have nothing to do?”.z.br&

Although Gao Jianmin and his wife could not explain anything, Tan Xuan and the others were very grateful for their concerns, and now the only way they could repay this gratitude was to leave them some money and thank them for their warm hospitality.
Tan Xuan and the others drove on and left the village from the other side. If the road before entering the village can still be called a mountain road, the road after leaving the village is indescribable. Although there are traces to follow,
They were all people and animals walking out, and there were no traces of vehicles passing by. They all say that if you want to get rich, you must first build roads. It is obvious that the people in the village have not put their thoughts on getting rich in the mountains here.
After a bumpy ride, Tan Xuan and the others finally gave up their plan to continue driving into the mountains after bypassing two mountains. There was no way, their motor vehicles could no longer navigate the bumpy road ahead, and even off-road vehicles could not.
Cross the ditch and bump in front.
The three people got out of the car and, as planned earlier, each carried a large backpack and continued heading into the mountains. Not to mention, walking in the mountains is much more convenient than driving. At least where people can walk, cars may not be able to pass.
, no need to go around in circles at all.
This season is not cold, let alone hot. There is no dense vegetation blocking the view, and there is no need to worry about mosquito bites. Although the road underfoot is slightly damp, it does not affect walking. Tan Xuan walks on the mountain road as if he is walking on flat ground. Behind him
Although the two women carrying things on their backs were a little slower, they were still much faster than driving.
Near noon, the three of them came to a valley. A small river flowed between two mountains. The water was not deep, the water surface was five or six meters wide, but the water flow was very fast. There was a stone bridge on the river. When they reached the bridge, Tan Xuan stopped.
There were many graves on the hillside across the river, but Tan Xuan's eyes were not on the hillside opposite, but on the higher mountains behind the hillside.
Xiao Di stood beside Tan Xuan, looking at the large and small graves on the mountain, licking his dry lips and said: "There are so many graves here, some old and new, they should be the Erdaolingzi mentioned by Gao Jianmin
Already?」
"This should be it. After passing the hillside, it is the territory of the evil ghost mentioned by Gao Jianmin. Are you tired? Let's rest here for a while. After passing this ridge, we can really enter the mountain. The road over there
No one has walked through it in decades, so it’s hard to say whether it still exists.”
With that said, Tan Xuan put his backpack on the ground, took out some water and handed it to Xiao Di and Tang Miao before sitting down on the backpack.
"Hey!"
Xiao Di and Tang Miao also followed Tan Xuan's example and sat down. After walking for a long time, they were already tired. Now that they were exposed to the sun, they were still a little hot. Tang Miao even took off her hiking boots and let her feet
Also get some air and relax.
Listening to the gurgling water around them and sipping their saliva, they felt a little comfortable. If it weren't for the graves on the opposite hillside that made the scenery a bit unpleasant, they would have wanted to take out their cameras to record this moment.
"Tan Xuan, do you think the evil ghost Gao Jianmin mentioned is true? Is there really a ghost on the other side of the mountain?" Looking at the graves on the mountain, Tang Miao didn't feel scary. After all, he was someone who had been to the cemetery at night, but now
She was worried about the rumor.
"I can't say whether it's a ghost or not, but there is no shortage of mountain spirits and wild monsters in the deep mountains and old forests. It's not surprising that there are some weird stories."
"Yes." Tang Miao nodded, and then asked: "Then in your name, can we walk away unscrupulously?"
Tan Xuan rolled his eyes at Tang Miao, "Do you think my name has that effect? If you don't want to cause trouble, just follow me honestly. No matter what you encounter, you are not allowed to act rashly without my consent."
Tang Miao curled her lips and said, "I know."
After a short rest, the three of them continued to set off, crossing the bridge, crossing the mountain, and walking toward the mountain farther away.
There is no longer any road on this side of the mountain, but the roads in front of them are either mountains or ridges, and the road has long been dispensable. Fortunately, the fallen leaves on the ground are not thick, so they determined the direction and continued walking. It was only in the afternoon
By that time, the speed of the three of them was far slower than that of the morning. They stopped and walked, the sun became less dazzling, and they had only climbed two mountains.
Finally, when he passed the top of the second mountain, Tang Miao slipped and sat on the ground. Then he rolled down the hillside with a grunt, and finally fell into a not-deep pit before he stopped.
Come down.
Tan Xuan and Xiao Di walked a few steps and arrived in front of Tang Miao.
"Are you okay?" Tan Xuan asked, standing in front of the pit.
"Do you think I'm okay?" Tang Miao sat up in the pit with a grin on his face, slapping the ground in annoyance and shouting.
"ah!"
Tang Miao suddenly froze with his mouth open.
"What's wrong with you?" Tan Xuan asked helplessly.
"I seem to have been pricked by something." Tang Miao turned to look, stood up, kicked hard at the bottom of the pit, and shouted, "Who the hell threw the nail?"
Tan Xuan glanced at Tang Miao, then at the rusty nails she stepped on in the soil, and said coldly: "If nothing happens, come out quickly. Is it okay to kick and scold you in other people's homes? Although they have already
We have moved, it is also my old house, so don’t make them unhappy.”
Tang Miao took off his gloves and looked at his hands. They were not injured. Then he raised his head and glared at Tan Xuan, "Are you sick? Whose house is this? How can there be a house?"
Tan Xuan chuckled, "Have you forgotten what Gao Jianmin said? The ancestral graves of the people in their village were originally in this mountain, but they were moved to Erdaolingzi after the evil ghost incident happened. The nail that pierced you just now should have been there.
The nails in the coffin that were abandoned at that time, this hole is..."
"ah!"
Tang Miao screamed, and she didn't know where the strength came from. She jumped out of the shallow pit and stood next to Tan Xuan.
"Stop talking, let's leave quickly."
Tan Xuan looked up at the sun that was getting lower and lower and said, "It's getting late and it gets dark quickly in the mountains. Let's find a place to stay first."
"Ah!" Tang Miao looked at Tan Xuan in panic, "You plan to live here? If this place is the former ancestral grave of Gao Jianmin's village, there must be all those things nearby. Let's leave quickly."
"What's wrong with living in a cemetery? It's much safer to sleep with dead people you don't know than sleeping with living people you don't know."
Xiao Di pushed Tan Xuan aside, "Okay, stop teasing her. It's getting dark soon. Let's quickly find a sheltered place to put up the tent. Otherwise, we won't find a place to stay when the temperature drops after dark.
The place is in trouble."
Tan Xuan nodded, "Then let's go down the mountain first and see if there are any suitable caves along the way. If not, find a sheltered place to spend the night."
