I was so stimulated that all the sleepiness in my body disappeared instantly. Li Shunzi was lying next to me, and I could even see his dead gray eyes staring directly at me. This scene happened like this, I felt Not many people can face it calmly. I almost fainted from fright. I screamed with all the strength in my body, rolled and crawled back to the side, and suddenly fell on Zhao Yingjun. All the nerves in my body were on my body. Trembling with fear.
Zhao Yingjun got up as soon as he was excited. This kind of person goes from sleep to wakefulness very quickly. When he saw my appearance, he knew something was wrong. Without saying a word, he pushed me to the side and quickly glanced left and right with his eyes. This time, he also saw Li Shunzi. Although there was nothing to say about Zhao Yingjun's psychological quality, the moment he saw Li Shunzi, he couldn't help but gasp. If it was just a dead person, Zhao Yingjun probably wouldn't even bat an eyelid. I blinked, but the situation in front of me was too weird.
Wasn't Li Shunzi buried by us in the place where we originally camped? How could he appear next to me a mile away? At that moment, the godless education I had received for so many years completely collapsed, and the situation exceeded my bottom line. I almost I just discussed with Li Shunzi that it was Zhao Yingjun who killed him. If you have any grievances, just go to Zhao Yingjun.
But Zhao Yingjun's panic only lasted for two seconds. He pulled out a gun in his hand and squatted on the ground to observe Li Shunzi for a while. Li Shunzi was indeed dead, and I felt numb. If he was really still alive, then It's easy to say, but how did a dead person crawl back from a mile away? When we buried him, we dug a shallow hole. Until this time, I can still see the corners of Li Shunzi's clothes in his hair. All covered with dirt.
"I wasn't afraid of you when you were alive, and I'm even less afraid of you when you're dead." Zhao Yingjun muttered and began to approach slowly. He was very vigilant, not only observing Li Shunzi, but also paying attention to the surrounding situation. I followed closely Behind him, he kept looking around. It was almost dawn, and the hazy fields were silent. There wasn't that much vegetation, and even the chirping of insects could hardly be heard.
After I was woken up just now, my mind was completely confused and blurry. Now as Zhao Yingjun got closer and closer, and the sky turned white, we soon saw that there was a person walking sideways more than one meter behind Li Shunzi. The diameter of the hole drilled from below is almost the same as that of the hole. It can only accommodate one person barely crawling. When I saw this sudden hole, I felt an indescribable panic.
Li Shunzi climbed out of this hole?
Cold sweat broke out on my forehead. Zhao Yingjun came to the side of Li Shunzi and moved his head with the muzzle of the gun. The body was completely rigor mortis. He was more experienced than me. At a glance, he knew that the problem was not with Li Shunzi, so he immediately turned his attention to That hole.
I had no idea where this hole came from. I was watching with fear when Zhao Yingjun suddenly waved his hand and fired a shot. The clear sound of the gunshot echoed around. At the same time, he suddenly jumped to the entrance of the hole, but no Dare to go in, hide sideways and watch.
I couldn't hear any movement, and I didn't know why Zhao Yingjun fired. After a while, he motioned for me to come over, patted the dirt on his hands, and said, "There is something in the hole, but I don't know what it is."
"Did you hit that thing?"
"It must have hit, I smell blood."
It would be most convenient to crawl in directly along the hole, but I didn't dare, and Zhao Yingjun also had a lot of worries. If something happened to him now, both of us would be completely ruined. So he was very cautious and did not go directly into the hole, but took out his tools.
Dig directly into the ground.
He dug the hole from the ground and shined his flashlight. On the right side, we saw a pool of blood, but there was nothing except blood.
"He was injured and ran away." Zhao Yingjun quickly dug up the soil to block the entrance of the cave: "Whether it is a person or something, it will definitely not come back for a while. Let's go."
"Just leave like this?" I looked at Li Shunzi's body lying on his side and felt dizzy.
"There are only two of us. Staying here is not an option. Let's go. Be careful on the road."
This time, I dug the hole where Li Shunzi was buried so deep that my hands were blistered. It’s enough to endure this kind of thing once, but if it happens a second time, I’ll collapse.
After burying the body and simply packing up our things, the two of us set out on the road without even eating. The uneasiness in my heart has been rising faintly all the time. This thing is so strange that Zhao Yingjun can't give a reasonable explanation.
I will keep thinking blindly.
"Don't worry." Zhao Yingjun also put away his cynicism and said to me: "I've seen more exciting things than this, why don't I just go through with it? If something happens, don't panic and don't cause trouble for me.
That’s fine.”
"It seems that there is no reason why people in the village have troubles in the mountains."
"Probably." Zhao Yingjun said very little nonsense now. He just answered and urged me to get on my way.
Without a guide, the road is difficult to walk. We walk in a fixed direction, and we are often stopped. Then we make a big circle from other places. If we can go around, it is okay, but if we can't go around, we have to go back and find the road again.
, anyway, the walk was quite difficult. Not only that, the two of us had to look for water, and time was wasted.
However, God took care of us a little. On the first day after we set out on the road alone, we couldn't walk no matter how we walked. But starting from the second day, the road became smoother. Although we had to climb mountains, the route was almost straight and smooth.
.And this good luck has continued, and we are about to enter the mountain forty kilometers earlier than expected.
This smooth progress made me feel even more uneasy, always feeling that something was going to happen not far ahead. This morning, Zhao Yingjun and I got up very early, took advantage of the coolness, and climbed over the nearest hill in one breath.
The vegetation behind the hill was a bit denser, with grasses and trees that I couldn't name. Before we even reached the foot of the hill, Zhao Yingjun shouted and grabbed me, and then he lay down on the ground.
"What's wrong with you?" I squinted my eyes and looked forward, but I couldn't see too far.
"Don't talk nonsense in the future. Your mouth is so damn unlucky." Zhao Yingjun lay on his stomach and looked through the binoculars. I didn't know what he saw, so he complained here, so he grabbed the binoculars.
Several people appeared within the reach of the telescope. They were relatively far away, so I couldn’t see very specific faces. As I looked at them, my heart moved because the clothes on these people were very similar to those of the villagers in the previous village.
Like, if it were someone going into the mountains from outside, they would definitely not wear this outfit.
"Are they the people who disappeared in the village before?" I turned to ask Zhao Yingjun.
"Probably, but whether they are or not is not important for now. Take a closer look. These people look very strange."
Following Zhao Yingjun's prompt, I took a closer look, and sure enough, I saw the problem at this glance. Those people were leaning on a large stone one by one, sitting with their bodies folded at ninety degrees.
At first glance, it looked like they were gathering together to bask in the sun, but after watching for so long, they didn't move at all, sitting upright.
After seeing this and thinking about what happened two days ago, I regretted why I came to this place.
The two of us were like scouts, hiding and continuing to look over there to see if there was anything else going on. At this time, I saw a person slowly crawling out from the side behind the big rock. This
The man's clothes were the same as those of several others. He was lying on the ground and crawling. I don't know where he came from. The big stone blocked my sight. This man climbed very hard and very slowly.
, as if I had to use up all my strength with every step I took. I quickly handed the binoculars to Zhao Yingjun and asked him to see what was going on.
Zhao Yingjun looked at it, but he couldn't explain what was going on. But he felt that those people seemed to be basking in the sun. The big stone was facing the sunny side, and there was plenty of light. When I took the telescope again, that person
He had climbed to the front of the big rock bit by bit, and slowly turned over. Like several other people, he leaned against the rock and stopped moving. Maybe the crawling just now had wasted his remaining physical strength.
"How do we do it? Go around it?"
"It's not appropriate to go around." Zhao Yingjun shook his head and said: "The destination is not far away. If you want to go around, you can definitely go around, but are you relieved to leave a few such people behind? What situation did they encounter? What happened to them?
If it's like this, we have to take a look and take necessary precautions."
I was confused and had no idea. What Zhao Yingjun said made sense. We observed for a while. Except for those few strange-looking people, there was no one around and there was no movement.
"Go, be careful, go and take a look."
The two of us, one after the other, slowly moved closer to the hiding place. When we got closer, those people remained motionless, with their heads raised and leaning against the rocks. Zhao Yingjun said, these people are not pretending.
, it looks like he really can’t move.
We moved forward for a while from the left, and by this time we were very close to those people. The one closest to us was the man who had just crawled over. We don’t know whether he was conscious or not. His chest was rising and falling slightly, and his whole body was constantly shaking at the same time.
Trembling. As for the few nearby, they are like stone statues.
"Those next to them may have died." Zhao Yingjun casually picked up a small stone and threw it over.
"Everyone died?"
"Not only did he die, but also..." Zhao Yingjun looked over there twice and said, "And he died very strangely."
I looked at those people carefully, and then a kind of fear from the deepest part of my heart quickly swept through my body. I couldn't tell whether those people were dead or not, but the way they looked at this moment was that I had broken my head.
