I looked at the endless old forest around me, and suddenly I had a feeling. Before I came here, all I heard was about the horror of the old forest, but the facts along the way proved that the black hand in the dark was more powerful than
This forest is even more deadly. This is definitely a nail that will kill someone. If it is not pulled out, it may harm others at any time.
"Is there any way Huaiqinglin can tell who is the real murderer?" I asked Mustache. Huaiqinglin seemed to me to be a very magical person. His eyes seemed to be able to see through everything.
"Huaiqinglin's eyes are not omnipotent." Mustache told me not to worry anymore: "But such a thing will never happen again in the future."
After saying these words, Mustache turned around and left. Beside me were Liang Zi and Ma Dad. Liang Zi may have received the death order from Mustache, so he protected me very closely and almost never left me. I slowly approached Ma
Dad, I communicated silently with him. I told Ma Dad that Mustache promised that this kind of thing would never happen again, and Ma Dad curled his lips in disdain, expressing disbelief.
But I believe in Mustache in my heart. After this incident, I have indeed changed a lot about him. Because I can see that when Mustache asked me to let go, he was definitely not lying.
In the two days after this incident, the situation seemed to have calmed down again. We walked smoothly without encountering anything. This made me even more convinced that the danger in this old forest actually came from humans.
When camping that day, we were very careful. A few of us spread out and searched carefully around the campsite to make sure there were no accidents before we settled down. In the entire team, Huaiqinglin and I did not have to keep vigil.
, and there are Da Zuo and Liang Zi taking turns to protect him.
I slept very uneasily because I always felt that there was a dark hand lurking around me. In the second half of the night, a very light mountain breeze blew by and woke me up. My eyelids felt heavy, but
Not much sleepiness. The clear moonlight casts through the gaps in the branches and leaves above my head, reminding me of the popular Tang poem.
I look up at the bright moon and look down at my hometown. Jiangbei, I haven't been back for a long time.
I lightly lit a cigarette. In fact, except for the night watchman, the rest of the people were still asleep. As soon as the lighter sounded, Liang Zi moved slightly, and Ma Dad also turned over, muttering something about "no one is sleeping".
If you don’t understand the words, you don’t know whether you are awake or talking in your sleep.
Liang Zi simply stopped sleeping, tightened his collar, took out a cigarette and asked me to lend him a light. We leaned against a big tree, smoking silently, and no one spoke.
Before he finished smoking a cigarette, Liang Zi suddenly pricked up his ears, and then quickly put out the cigarette in his hand. My ears were still very good, and I immediately heard a rustling sound from nowhere, and I quickly
He also put out his cigarette and shook Madi awake at the same time.
"There's someone!" Liang Zi shouted at the top of his lungs, shouting to everyone around him. He stretched out his hand to take out the guy, and then pulled Huaiqinglin and me behind the big tree.
Although the origins of the people who got into this team were unknown, none of them were good people. As soon as they heard Liang Zi’s warning, everyone moved. At the same time, I also distinguished the slight rustling sound.
Although I am not 100% sure, the sound is very much like someone walking lightly on the leaf litter.
The surrounding light was very dim, and it was impossible to use a flashlight to illuminate it at this time. Ma Dad also woke up and jumped up. Liang Zi protected me and Huaiqing Lin very tightly. In less than a minute, I saw
To Mustache and the others, their figures dispersed from where they were, and then disappeared into the darkness not far away.
"What the hell are you going to do!" Ma Dad's sleepiness completely disappeared and he hid behind another big tree, covering his heart and swearing in a low voice.
The rustling sound continued, and our people also dispersed into the forest. The sound became more chaotic and could not be distinguished at all. We hid nervously behind the big tree for a few minutes at most, when a crisp gunshot suddenly burst out in the forest.
.
Before the echo of the gunfire disappeared, I felt as if the big tree in front of me had been hit by a bullet. My scalp exploded all of a sudden, and soon after, gunshots rang out one after another in the forest. The situation between me and Huaiqinglin
It is also dangerous. The person who fired in secret may have changed his angle, avoided the tree as a cover, and shot from another direction.
"Damn it!" Liang Zi held the gun and rushed in front of us, but the light was too dark to see clearly where the enemy was.
"This way!"
Huaiqinglin, who had not spoken a word since entering the forest, suddenly gave a low drink. His eyes were very bright and clear, as if there was no hindrance in the dark night. He took the lead and ran out with his waist crouched. Surrounded by
The sound of gunfire gradually became denser, but the direction was very poor because the target could not be clearly seen. I felt a little panicked, and because of my trust in Huaiqinglin's ability, I ran with him without thinking.
I don’t know whether Huaiqinglin accurately memorized the terrain of the forest in front of him before camping, or whether his eyes really saw things in the dark as in daylight. In short, the path he led made me feel very relieved. We ran a few steps and we were there.
We will find a big tree that can be used as a cover, and then continue running deeper into the forest, Liang Zi following behind us step by step.
After running for about ten minutes, Huaiqinglin took me to a small bush in the forest. This was an ideal hiding place. The bushes could hide us, and there were several adjacent trees around. The two of us nestled
Entering the bushes, Liang Zi followed suit, revealing only a pair of eyes and the black muzzle of the gun.
At this moment, I looked at Liang Zi's generous back, and my heart suddenly tightened. According to my guess, everyone in this team except Mustache was a suspect for pushing me off the cliff. Of course, Ma Dad almost
This suspicion can be ruled out, but what about Liang Zi in front of him?
I don't have a gun in my hand. It can be said that as long as Liang Zi turns around and pulls the trigger, I will definitely die.
But this guess only lasted for a second before I ruled it out. If Liangzi was unreliable, Mustache would not send him to my side.
The sound of gunfire in the distance gradually became sparser and denser, and finally disappeared completely. The forest suddenly fell into silence. After another ten or twenty minutes, we all saw the flashlights lighting up, and there were also monks and others.
of shouts.
"Who is the person who attacked us?" Liang Zi asked when he saw the monk.
"It was too dark in the forest and we couldn't see the enemy, so we fired a bunch of shots randomly." The monk dimmed the flashlight and led us back.
When we returned to the campsite, everyone who had dispersed came back. Vaguely, I saw Xiao Hu, Jiang Chen, Da Zuo and the three of them surrounding a corpse. Ma Dad was squatting on the ground and drinking heavily.
water.
Several flashlights were shined on the corpse, and the corners of my eyes suddenly jumped with the flashlight light.
Lao Gong was dead, lying on the leaf litter under the tree, with blood oozing from the corners of his mouth and nose. His death was ugly, and his neck had been violently twisted.
"Turn out all the flashlights and don't emit any light." Mustache glanced into the surrounding darkness: "I don't know how many enemies there are."
The monk and Liang Zi quietly dug a shallow pit nearby, and then buried Lao Gong's body. No one spoke during this period, and I felt very nervous. In any case, Lao Gong and I were old acquaintances.
A person who was still alive a moment ago died suddenly, which is psychologically unacceptable. But the body cannot be taken out and can only be buried on the spot.
The monks and the others moved very quickly, so we didn't care so much. We buried Lao Gong hastily and moved the camp. With Huaiqinglin leading the way, we walked north for about one kilometer in the deep forest. No one was there.
Go to sleep again and keep your eyes open until dawn.
"The situation here is getting complicated, we have to act fast!" Mustache gave such an order when the sky was just clear. Everyone put on their equipment and set off from here immediately. Huaiqinglin and I were closely protected
In the middle, Mustache himself leads the way.
I subconsciously looked back at the road I had walked before, and I could no longer see the place where Han Yunzhou died. I don’t believe in Buddhism, but I have never deliberately killed any living being. Since I got involved in this matter, all the people who died in front of my eyes have
Man, I can’t even remember it.
It's exactly what Cao Shi said. This thing is really dangerous and people are dying all the time.
"Young Master Wei, let's go." The monk patted me on the shoulder, as if he knew what I was feeling sad about. He smiled silently, and that smile made people look very awkward: "In this line of work, there are no dead people or dead insects.
respectively."
There are two less people in the team, and the atmosphere becomes more tense. However, because of the previous incident, my relationship with Mustache and the monk has improved a lot. In fact, even I can’t tell whether this is a good thing or a bad thing.
If it hadn't happened that I fell into the cliff, I probably wouldn't have asked Xiaozi for anything. But at this time I couldn't help it. After thinking about it for a while, I asked him privately why he ran away in peace that day.
Go to the edge of the cliff.
"I'm still thinking about how to tell you about this matter. Since you asked, let's just say it." Mustache stretched out his hand and took out something from his arms: "You must know this. I will go to the edge of the cliff.
Just to pick it up."
When I saw this thing, my nerves were touched immediately. This thing has a special meaning, and I really know it.
