We knew something was wrong, but Zhao Yingjun and I still couldn't see anything. If we didn't have this book as a reminder, then the two of us would definitely think that this forest is relatively normal. At least where we are now, there is nothing wrong with Zhao Yingjun's perceptive ability.
, there will be no mistakes easily. However, the words on the title page of the book become more and more frightening. It is not a joke. Two people have been trapped alive because of this.
More importantly, what happened to them was when they were returning from Yuantou Mountain. They were actually walking the same road as us. If we continue to go deeper or wait here, we may encounter unknown dangers at any time.
.
Zhao Yingjun and I first looked around and then looked at each other. No matter what the two dead people encountered before, they were definitely not human beings.
Wow...
While we were hesitating, Duoji emerged from under the fallen leaves on the ground. He had a few leaves on his head. He looked funny, but his expression was not so relaxed. Sure enough, when Zhao Yingjun asked, Duoji said that the atmosphere here seemed like
Something wasn't quite right. He always felt like there was a breath floating around, but he couldn't catch it. When I heard it, I became even more paralyzed. Even Duoji couldn't tell what it could be. What could it be? How dangerous could it be?
"Don't be too alarmed. We don't have many people, so we have to hug together tightly." Zhao Yingjun calmed me down and said: "Don't underestimate the old ghost Duoji. If he wants to hide it deliberately, he can keep it so that no one can find it.
"
At this time, there was a faint sneer coming from between a few trees about twenty meters away from us. The sound was so ethereal that it was almost mixed with the sound of the wind, so I couldn’t tell whether I was hearing it or not.
Wrong. But I felt that at the same time I heard this sound, Zhao Yingjun also reacted. Duoji's head exposed on the fallen leaves swung in again, disappearing instantly.
"There is a sound! It seems like someone is laughing!" Zhao Yingjun immediately took me to a hiding place, then hid with his gun and rushed towards that side in a roundabout way.
I was immediately sure that I must not have heard wrongly. Everyone may have auditory, visual, and olfactory illusions, but the illusions between two people cannot be exactly the same if they hear or see exactly the same thing at the same time.
Sounds and things, that can only mean that they are not hallucinations, the sounds or things are real.[
In less than two minutes, the fallen leaves under the big trees suddenly burst into a large ball, flying in the air, as if a bomb had been detonated under the ground. Immediately afterwards, Duoji's figure emerged from here.
Duoji appeared among the falling leaves, and Zhao Yingjun followed. The movement in the fallen leaves was caused by Duoji, but both of them missed it. There seemed to be nothing there.
In the blink of an eye, there seemed to be a gust of wind in the west of the forest, and the tree crowns were swaying. Accompanying this gust of wind was a similarly ethereal sound of tinkling bells. Duoji and Zhao Yingjun were both on guard, as this ethereal sound in the west suddenly
When the sound came out, Duoji once again got into the leaf litter. Soon, another small child's cry came from the west. This time the sound was the end of all sounds. From then on, all the sounds disappeared and never appeared again.
.
The last cry I heard, similar to that of a child, was made by something raised by Duoji. I suspected that it was the two small naked children I saw squatting at Duoji's feet before. But they were also in vain.
, nothing was found. The three of us quickly gathered together, still looking around, but this time, the strange noise did disappear.
In this way, without looking for any more evidence, we know that there is indeed something in the woods, and it is probably very deadly. But we don't know what it is at all, and because we don't know, we feel even more panicked.
"Don't be nervous, just relax." Zhao Yingjun squatted on the ground, his eyes, ears, and all the senses in his body were stretched to the limit. While he was looking around, he rolled a thick cigarette with the tobacco left by Kuangnuochuan and stuffed it into me.
In his mouth, he said: "The two old guys in the Tibetan area are dead. There are no weird things in this world that old ghost Duoji can't handle. Relax, relax..."
It sounds easy to say, but it is very difficult to actually do it. It is impossible for me not to be nervous, and I am even considering whether I should continue to move forward. Both Duoji and Zhao Yingjun are the kind of very stubborn people, especially Duoji, who is also attracted by that strange
I was annoyed by the noise and insisted on walking.
We waited uneasily on the spot, Duoji and Zhao Yingjun kept a high degree of vigilance, but nothing strange happened before. We waited for three days, and Kuang Nuochuan hurried back from outside the forest. I want to
Talk to Kuang Nuochuan about what happened, and then ask him if he has heard of or encountered related situations. However, Zhao Yingjun winked at me and signaled me not to say anything. If Kuang Nuochuan was so scared that he refused to lead the way,
It would be even harder to do if the three of us were left behind.
After Kuang Nuochuan arrived, he was urged to go on the road by Zhao Yingjun before he had time to rest. Fortunately, this man was extremely strong. Without saying a word, he took us and continued walking with heavy equipment on his back. This time, the mood after setting off on the road was completely the same as before.
It's different. Sometimes a normal commotion can scare me into a cold sweat.
On the night when Kuangnuochuan arrived, we found a suitable place to camp as usual. Kuangnuochuan didn't know what happened to us, so we didn't feel so nervous. Along the way, he told us the traditional stories of the Oroqen people. Eat
After dinner, he stayed on the first shift as before, and Zhao Yingjun took over his shift. However, when I took over, Zhao Yingjun refused to sleep and said he was not sleepy. In fact, I know he was afraid that I was inexperienced and would not be able to watch the night well.
The two of us talked quietly and smoked cigarettes. After a long time, I looked at my watch and saw that it was already four o'clock in the morning. It would be bright soon, so I asked Zhao Yingjun to go to sleep. He agreed.
, ran to pee, but ran back again without even taking off the belt.
"That's wrong." Zhao Yingjun hurried to Kuangnuochuan and said to the two of us: "It's a very strange thing."
"What's wrong?"
"The tree over there is gone." Zhao Yingjun pointed to the place he wanted to use just now, holding a gun in his other hand, his eyes moving back and forth intelligently.
"The tree is gone?" I didn't understand what he meant at first, but after he explained it for a while, I understood.
We generally don’t choose to camp in the middle of the woods. Kuangnuochuan will find gaps between the woods as a place to stay. After we settled down, Zhao Yingjun deliberately observed the surrounding situation. He clearly remembered that on the right side of our campsite
, there were a few trees growing alone outside the forest. But when he ran over just now for convenience, he found that those trees were gone. Something as obvious as a few trees could not be ignored, nor could it be hidden.
You can't find it until you get up.[
When he said this, Kuang Nuochuan and I both became nervous. Kuang Nuochuan picked up the shotgun. I really didn't have any weapons, so I took his crossbow. The three of them walked together in the direction of Zhao Yingjun's finger. Kuang Nuochuan looked at
After a few glances, he suddenly said: "It's definitely not right."
"How to say?"
"Maybe something big has happened." Kuang Nuochuan, a person who often walks in the mountains, can't be said to be courageous, but at this moment, he didn't know whether he was nervous or afraid, sweating on his forehead, saying nothing, and leading us on
After walking around for a few minutes, his hand holding the gun suddenly dropped, and he looked back at us with a pale face: "This doesn't seem to be where we were before."
"How is this possible?" I retorted at that time, because I didn't even move a step after camping.
However, Kuang Nuochuan insisted on his own opinion. He, a person who lives in the woods, has an extraordinary sensitivity to the topography and various reference objects in the woods. When I refuted him, Zhao Yingjun also said
, Kuang Nuochuan may have read it correctly.
"This is pure nonsense!" Because I was afraid, I became anxious at the time and argued with Kuang Nuochuan and Zhao Yingjun, but my eyes couldn't help but look around. I am a person who has never experienced jungle exploration or hunting.
, as long as you get into the forest, you will be lost. There are trees everywhere anyway. Unless there is a very obvious reference object, you will be at a loss wherever you look.
"Very unlucky, unlucky..." Kuang Nuochuan put the shotgun on his back, shook his head vigorously, and panted and said to us: "We may have encountered a ghost moving the mountain."
The so-called ghost moves the mountain is an ancient legend spread among the walkers. It is said that there is something deep in the jungle that likes to play tricks on the walkers who pass by. The most common method is to play tricks on the walkers in the middle of the night when they are sleeping.
Move the surrounding mountains away, so that when the hikers wake up, they will find that the surrounding terrain has completely changed, and they will be lost for a long time.
Kuangnuochuan has not encountered a real ghost moving in the mountains. I have only heard some old mountain walkers say it, and they have said it more than once. It is very scary to get lost in the dense forest. Even though there is a compass and the sun to identify the direction,
But it is completely useless when encountering ghosts moving mountains. Even if you walk in the correct direction shown by the compass or the sun, you still can't get out.
"If you don't believe it, you will know it completely after dawn." Kuang Nuochuan slowly squatted on the ground, raised his head and said to us: "The surrounding terrain must be different from before we camped, and we will get lost."
This statement was undoubtedly absurd, but suddenly I didn't even have the strength to refute it, because I thought of the two people who died under the birch tree before. They were trapped to death simply because they couldn't find their way back.
In the vast forest, they may have encountered the same situation as before, so they were completely at a loss and did not get out of the dense forest until they died in the end.
"Let's wait for now." Zhao Yingjun was nervous for a moment, but calmed down. He squatted next to Kuang Nuochuan and rolled his own cigarette and smoked: "Wait until daybreak and see what happens."
