Silent woods, winding paths, the looming light of flashlights, the surroundings are very quiet.
Xia Qing looked at the seemingly endless path with deep brows. Darkness enveloped everyone. No one spoke. Everyone walked forward in silence. Walking in this environment, everyone was burdened with a huge spirit. pressure……
Wang Yun followed Xia Qing closely, looking at the twisted and ferocious woods around her, like evil spirits that chose people to eat.
Wang Yun swallowed, her back was wet with cold sweat, and her body was shaking. She was nervous and scared, but she didn't dare to stop. She knew she couldn't become a burden to them now. Once she became a burden, They would abandon her without hesitation or even kill her. She was not stupid and could see what kind of people these people were.
The surroundings were too quiet, with no chirping of insects or birds at all. In the countryside, the chirping of birds and the chirping of insects should coexist at this time, but here there was no such scene.
Wang Yun didn't know how long they had been walking. Time seemed to pass very long. Her feet stepped on the dead branches and leaves, but no sound came from them. This was very strange, as if the world had lost its sound.
Everything will return to silence. Sometimes, it is not the scary sounds that bring fear and despair to people, but when you are walking in a world shrouded in darkness, and there is silence around you, without any sound, and there is nothing but you. No one...
"Xia, Sister Xia Qing, how long will it take for us to arrive?"
Wang Yun's trembling voice sounded among the crowd. Xia Qing frowned and looked at the endless winding road ahead, feeling uncertain:
"I don't know either. Things are very wrong now. It's too quiet around here. It seems like there's no other living thing except us. And we've been walking for so long and we haven't even seen the peach forest that the old man mentioned."
Xia Qing said this and looked at Lao Li with the help of the flashlight:
"Lao Li, something seems to be wrong."
Hearing Xia Qing's words, Lao Li looked serious. He glanced around, a flash of worry in his eyes, and looked at his watch. It was 10.30, which was almost three hours since they entered the mountain:
"The situation is indeed a bit strange. We entered the mountain after eight o'clock, and now it is already half past ten, and we have been walking for almost three hours."
"Logically, we should have arrived long ago after walking for so long, but we haven't even seen the peach forest yet."
Having said this, Lao Li's eyes became more worried.
After hearing what Lao Li said, everyone's faces changed more or less.
Xia Qing looked at the deep darkness and the unchanging scenery around him, bit the corner of his mouth, and asked tentatively:
"Are we being attacked by ghosts? Otherwise, why would we have walked for so long without arriving?"
After Xia Qing said this, the bespectacled man pushed up his glasses and looked a little solemn. He glanced around and found that the twisted woods nearby seemed very familiar. It seemed that they were really what Xia Qing said. They might have hit the wall. :
"It's possible, it's not low. We seem to have walked through the surrounding woods, more than once."
The man with glasses took a flashlight and illuminated the tree on the side, and continued:
"I saw this tree last time. Judging from its twisted direction, it was exactly the same as what I saw before. At first, I just thought these were normal situations. In this weird place, there are two trees with similar looks. normal."
"I didn't think about ghosts breaking into the wall. Now that Jing Xia Qing said this, these trees are very abnormal, so we are very likely to have been beaten up by ghosts!"
Lao Li looked in the direction of the bespectacled man's flashlight and found that it was exactly what he said. The twisted tree was very familiar and he seemed to have seen it before.
Xia Qing looked around with an ugly face. She didn't know if it was because of what the man with glasses just said that made her look at these weird and twisted trees now, and they always felt very familiar.
Wang Yun Han hid behind Xia Qing in fear, not daring to take a breath, just looking around.
"Old Li, what should I do?" Xia Qing looked at the dark path, looking a little flustered, but his face was still calm. Seeing Old Li's frown, Xia Qing hesitated for a while and continued:
"Do you want that thing?"
Hearing Xia Qing say this, the expressions of Lao Li, the man with glasses, and the gloomy and silent young man all changed, and they all turned to look at Xia Qing:
"You can't use that thing of yours, at least not now. You can only use it when you encounter something that we can't solve." Old Li looked at Xia Qing with an extremely serious look on his face.
"Well, Lao Li is right. That thing of yours is too dangerous and its controllability is too low. If it is not a crisis, it is better not to take it out."
At this time, the man with glasses also spoke and tried to persuade Xia Qing.
The cold young man said nothing and just looked at Xia Qing, but he already understood what he meant.
After hearing the words of several people, Xia Qing nodded, his eyes flashing.
Wang Yun listened to the conversation between several people in confusion. She didn't know what they were talking about, and she didn't know what the thing they were talking about was, or why they said it was too dangerous and couldn't be taken out now.
Lao Li took a flashlight and scanned the surroundings, feeling the unusual silence around him. He knew he had to do something. It was already half past ten, and there was less than two hours left before the time required to deliver the letter.
If they don't break away from the ghost wall as soon as possible, they will also die if they can't complete the task of delivering the message!
Thinking of this, Lao Li gritted his teeth and looked at the men with glasses. Seeing that none of them showed any signs of expression, he said in a low voice:
"I'm coming this time, and it's up to you to take care of the rest. My things won't be used a few times, so you have to help the rest of the way."
Hearing what Lao Li said, the bespectacled man and the cold young man looked at each other and nodded at the same time to express that there was no problem:
"Okay, we'll take the rest of the way. You just need to get us out of the way."
Hearing the assurances from the bespectacled man and the cold young man, Old Li nodded and took out half of a blackened finger bone and a red lantern stick from his pocket.
The phalanges are very small and look similar to a child's little finger.
The bespectacled man and the others looked at Lao Li's movements, their eyes flashed, they didn't say anything, they just watched quietly.
Wang Yun couldn't understand this. Looking at the blackened finger bones in Lao Li's hand, her face suddenly turned pale and she hid behind Xia Qing, not daring to look.
She was studying medicine, and when she saw the finger bones that Lao Li took out, she recognized them immediately as human bones, and they belonged to a child.
Lao Li looked at the blackened phalanges in his hand, and a flash of pain flashed in his eyes. He looked around, and without hesitation, Lao Li threaded the blackened phalanges with a fishing line, and then threaded the other end of the fishing line.
Entered the tip of the lantern stick.
Lao Li was holding a lantern stick and looking at the half-finger bone hanging by the fishing line. His eyes were full of pain. To be honest, if it weren't for the time to deliver the letter, there might not be enough time. In addition, neither the glasses man nor the cold young man were willing to take action.
, he would never come up with this thing, but he worked hard to get it.
Moreover, this thing should be used once and less. Once it is used up, his chance of survival will be reduced by more than half.
Holding the lantern stick, Lao Li was very determined. Without hesitation, he took out a special lighter from his pocket and lit the blackened half of the finger bone.
The moment the finger bones were ignited, a dark flame ignited on the finger bones. The ignited fire enveloped everyone, dispelling the darkness. Coldness and ominousness permeated everyone, making people feel numb all over their scalps.
When the darkness slowly faded, everyone finally saw clearly what was nearby and what was at the end of the winding road.
But when everyone saw the scene nearby clearly, everyone opened their mouths wide and their eyes showed fear.
Lao Li's eyes were trembling. The twisted woods at this moment were clearly corpses hanging upside down on the trees, including men and women, humans and animals. The corpses were twisted and rotten, and some were even
Only his lower body was left hanging on the tree, and his intestines were already turning black as they were dragged on the ground.
The bespectacled man and Xia Qing looked at all this, their faces extremely ugly, the twisted and rotting corpses, the cold and ominous, and the strange woods, all of this showed that their mission this time was very dangerous.
"Ah~!"
And at this moment, a piercing scream came, with a cry in the voice, and it was Wang Yun's scream.
Hearing this scream, Lao Li's expression suddenly changed, and he suddenly lowered his head to look at the burning phalanges in his hand. After Wang Yun's scream sounded, the phalanges that were originally burning very slowly began to explode, but
In an instant, it was already reduced by nearly a third.
And at this moment, the cold young man who had always been silent turned pale in an instant, and suddenly turned his head and looked to the side.
After seeing the situation clearly, the cold young man tightened his eyes and saw a black figure standing quietly in the woods full of corpses, motionless, with a pair of blood-red eyes.
His eyes were fixed on them, as if he would pounce on them and tear them apart at any time.
"Lao Li, Xia Qing, glasses, let's go, go quickly, there is a real ghost here!"
There was urgency in the voice of the cold young man, and even a hint of fear.
When he heard that there was a ghost here, Lao Li's face turned pale. Without any hesitation, he turned around and ran towards the end of the path where his true identity was revealed.
Xia Qing and the man with glasses also reacted very quickly. The moment they heard that there was a ghost, they ran directly towards the old house at the end of the path.
They now know very well that the evil ghost will not attack them before the knuckle bone lantern burns out, so as long as they run out of the peach forest before the knuckle bone lantern burns out, they can survive.
The cold young man looked at the broken limbs and corpses around him with an extremely ugly expression. He followed Lao Li and the others and ran towards the old house. Wang Yun just stood there blankly, looking at the broken limbs in the woods with an expression on his face.
Sluggish, already frightened.
Lao Li and Xia Qing ran away without even looking at Wang Yun, with no intention of caring about her.
When Wang Yun recovered from the sluggishness, she found that her surroundings were already pitch black, Lao Li and Xia Qing had disappeared, and the nearby peach trees were still full of corpses.
Wang Yun looked at all this, her eyes full of despair, tears welling up from her eyes, and she shouted loudly:
"Sister Xia Qing! Uncle Li! Where are you? Don't leave me alone!"
As she spoke, she ran towards the path. Wang Yun felt desperate at this time. Fear spread in her heart. Looking at the corpses in the peach forest, although she was scared, Wang Yun did not dare to stop. She was afraid of herself.
Once you stop, you will become one of those corpses hanging on the peach tree, just keep running, running with all your strength.
But the path in this peach forest seems to have no end. No matter how long or how far Wang Yun runs, she seems to have never moved forward.
Slowly, Wang Yun's speed slowed down until it came to a complete stop. Wang Yun bent over and breathed heavily, and the tears in her eyes fell on the ground drop by drop.
She was desperate, completely desperate. She looked up at the endless path, her mouth opened, but she could no longer speak.
At this moment, the sound of stiff and heavy footsteps came from behind Wang Yun, coming from far to near, neither urgent nor slow.
The moment she heard the footsteps, Wang Yun turned her head violently, with panic and fear on her face. When she saw clearly who the owner of the footsteps behind was, her eyes widened instantly, full of panic:
"No! Don't come over! No! Don't come over! Please! Don't come over!"
Wang Yun looked behind her in horror and kept retreating, shouting not to come over.
Darkness enveloped Taolin, like a hungry ghost eating people, swallowing Wang Yun inside. After a desperate cry, Taolin returned to its usual peace and tranquility...
At this time, the four Lao Li people listened to Wang Yun's cries behind them, and their expressions were very calm. No one would think of saving her. That would be asking for death. They are not saints. For a newcomer like Wang Yun, death
It's just dead, and it won't cause them any emotional fluctuations at all.
Speaking of which, it was because of Wang Yun's scream that this situation occurred. If not for this, they would not have escaped in such an embarrassing manner.
This is what they were thinking. Looking at the old house at the end of the path, Lao Li and the four of them were speeding up their pace. They knew that as long as they reached the old house, they would be safe. Although they didn't know if it was really safe, they
Be sure, the ghost in the peach forest will most likely not come after you.
Because there may be ghosts in the old house, but even if they know that there may be ghosts in the old house, they must go, not only to survive, but also to deliver the letter. If the letter cannot be delivered to them, they will still die...
On the west side of the mountain, on a grassland dozens of kilometers away from Anxi Village, the surrounding area is desolate and overgrown with weeds.
Under the pitch-black night, a bus appeared suddenly and drove on the grass. The lights of the bus penetrated the darkness and dispersed the shrouded black fog.
The surroundings were very quiet, and the bus slowly stopped on the grass, leaving deep wheel marks in the grass.
As the bus stopped, the door slowly opened, and pale lights filled the air from inside the bus. A bride, with her whole body dry and wearing a wedding dress and a red hijab, slowly walked out of the bus and faced
