"Xiaoxiao, hurry up!" Zhang Bo waved his arms and shouted to the back.
Although Zhang Bo has a gentle name, he is a tall man with a strong back and a strong body. However, he is surprisingly a bit fresh and cheerful. This time, he invited his roommate from the university to take advantage of the National Day holiday.
During the long vacation, let’s travel to his hometown—Zichuan.
Now, they are climbing Mount Mencius.
Mencius Mountain is densely covered with scenic spots and has a long history. According to the inscription on the mountain: "The palaces and pavilions on the mountain are magnificent, and the houses are continuous. There are pavilions like pavilions, towers like pavilions, corridors like pavilions, and halls like...", "There are two couplets in the south hall, and an ear room."
"One room and two cupboards", "The space in front of the temple was converted into a huge hall, and the portraits were set up to line up with other halls, so that they could pay homage and show their prudentness."
In the past, Mengzi Mountain was full of incense, with tourists coming to offer incense and worshipers in an endless stream, and the scene was very lively.
Although Mengzi Mountain today is not as good as it used to be, you can still see some of its former charm during holidays.
...
The boy who was lagging behind looked at Zhang Bo expressionlessly, with sharp eyes. It wasn't until Zhang Bo's overly stretched eyebrows began to stiffen and twitch, that he slowly spoke: "My name is Xiao Xiao! The first time!"
"Isn't it just a smile?" Zhang Bo muttered, but his voice was so loud that it echoed on the quiet mountain road.
"Okay, okay, mistress, you also know that the boss is a typical representative of limbs and brains, so don't argue with him." Zhuge Yun was quite good at putting his arm around Xiao Xiao's shoulders.
, winked and said.
Xiao Xiao only felt his temples twitching, shook his shoulders unceremoniously, shook off Zhuge Yun's close hand, and said with a smile: "Xiao Er, call me Lao San or my name!"
"Then don't call me Xiaoer!"
"Who started the barking?"
…
"Alas~" Zhao Luzheng, the youngest, looked at the childish and careless guys in front of him and sighed a little melancholy.
Then I looked up and looked around. The mountain road was rugged, the trees covered the sky, and even the sunlight was filtered out. There was a touch of coolness in the air. Logically speaking, this should be a comfortable temperature in the hot temperature, but because
The excessive silence makes people feel a little panicked.
"Stop making trouble. Boss, where are we? Do you still know the road?" Zhao Luzheng walked a few steps quickly and walked to Zhang Bo.
Originally, they came to visit Mengzi Mountain, but unfortunately there were too many tourists, and they couldn't bear to be crowded with people. In addition, Zhang Bo patted his chest and said that this was his territory, and they knew the rules, so they just went where there were less people.
, and finally arrived at such a remote place.
"Yeah, why is there no one here?" Zhuge Yun pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and was a little confused. Although they were in a place where there were few people, there was really no place in the scenic spot where there were no people.
?
"Huh?" Although Zhang Bo grew up in this land, he was not a native and could not tell all the paths in the mountains. This place was also very unfamiliar to him and he couldn't help scratching his head, "Why don't we go back?
Well, you can always get out."
The other three people rolled their eyes at him, he was such an unreliable guy.
Zhang Bo smiled naively, a little embarrassed, "Let's go, let's go, I'll treat you to a big dinner when I get back."
Looking at the watch, it was almost eleven o'clock. They arrived at Mengzi Mountain at eight o'clock. Unknowingly, nearly three hours had passed, and they were really hungry.
Xiao Xiao fell at the end. He always felt that something was wrong, but couldn't grasp the key for a while. In the end, he could only shake his head and ignore the weirdness in his heart.
"Third brother, follow up!"
"coming."
…
The idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.
After walking for a while, they found that they were completely lost.
It's hard to know the way in the mountains. The surrounding scenery is almost the same, except for trees. How can I remember the direction I came from?
Xiao Xiao and others were really anxious at this time.
This is in the mountains and there is no signal.
If they were really trapped here, it would be no joke.
"Boss, we have been really hurt by you, and you are a local snake." Zhuge Yun complained unceremoniously and beat his aching legs. After all, he had walked on the mountain road for a whole morning, coupled with the psychological factors behind it, he was tired.
The feeling is a bit heavier.
"Boss, what should we do now?" Zhao Lu was leaning against the tree, feeling a little impatient.
"Let me see, let me see." Zhang Bo was even more tormented in his heart. Everyone believed in him, and that's why he fell into such an embarrassing situation. Besides, he was born and raised here, so he should be able to find a way out easier than them.
"Boss, don't worry." Xiao Xiao patted the boss on the shoulder, "Let's rest first."
Xiao Xiao was a bit of a germaphobe, so he didn't find a tree to lean against. He just stood and slowly calmed down his somewhat rapid breathing.
Suddenly, he raised his head, listened, and walked around again.
"Third brother, what are you doing?" Zhuge Yun looked at Xiao Xiao's strange behavior and couldn't help but ask.
Others also looked questioningly.
Xiao Xiao ignored them, and after going around in circles for a few times, he spoke: "I always thought there was something strange, but I couldn't figure it out. Now I finally know."
"Hmm, what's weird?"
"What is it?"
"What's weird?"
"Don't you think it's too quiet here?" Xiao Xiao didn't hold back and directly told what he found.
"Hey, what did I think? Isn't it normal to be quiet in the mountains?" Zhuge An said a little disappointed, thinking that there were some weird stories about the mountains, which made him look forward to it in vain.
"Indeed, it's normal to be quiet in the mountains, but if you listen, there are no birds or any sounds here. Don't you think it's strange?" Xiao Xiao frowned.
It stands to reason that in this kind of pristine mountain forest, there may not be dangerous creatures such as wild beasts. After all, this place has been classified as a scenic spot, and the personal safety of tourists must be guaranteed, but there should be wild birds and the like, right?
However, he listened carefully, not to mention the chirping of birds, not even the chirping of insects. The entire forest was simply eerily quiet.
"Uh~" After hearing what Xiao Xiao said, the others came to their senses.
Yes, they didn't pay attention to it before, but now they realized that the surroundings were so quiet that they could even clearly hear their heavy breathing.
They couldn't help but feel a chill running down their spines.
"Haha, have all the birds been killed by hunters?" Zhuge Yun smiled dryly.
No one paid attention to him.
The atmosphere became a little tense.
"Let's go." Xiao Xiao took the lead. Sitting and waiting would never help. Maybe everything he worried about was unfounded. Maybe they would see other tourists as they walked.
"Yeah." Several other people quickly followed. Rather than staying here and scaring themselves, it would be better to walk around. Maybe things will become clearer.
…
Along the way, Xiao Xiao and the others could only hear the dull sound of their footsteps on the dirt, and the rustling of fallen leaves from time to time. The trees blocked the sky and cast many shadows, and they had the illusion that they were about to be swallowed up.
Involuntarily, their steps became faster and faster, and their faces turned a little pale.
"Wait a minute." The sudden voice made the people in front almost stumble.
"Lao San, you are going to scare people to death!"
"My heart almost stopped!"
"Do you know that people are scared to death?"
Faced with the unanimous condemnation of the three people, Xiao Xiao was speechless. As for what? Especially the boss, is he so big and white-haired? He was scared so easily?
"I'm sorry, I didn't know you were so cowardly." Seeing that the three of them were about to explode again, Xiao Xiao quickly got to the point, "Look, there seems to be a water source over there."
Instead of the three of them rushing forward, Xiao Xiao still paid attention to his surroundings from time to time.
So naturally, he caught the reflection in the corner of his eye, but because it was obscured by the trees, he couldn't see clearly what it was.
But it should be a water source anyway.
"Ah, really? Go and have a look."
"It would be nice if it was a river."
Many people know that if they are lost in the mountains and forests, if they can find a river, then going down the river is the best way to survive.
So, now, Zhang Bo and the others simply ran up and pushed aside the bushes. Their faces were full of excitement, but they stiffened and suddenly stopped after seeing what was in front of them.
"What the hell, it turns out to be a lake."
"What a joy."
Xiao Xiao arrived soon after, and it turned out to be a huge lake covering a vast area.
The water surface is calm, clear and quiet, reflecting the sky and cloud shadows.
"Ah, the water is so clean, but why aren't there any fish?"
"Really, is this stagnant water?"
"But there's no weird smell."
Zhang Bo and others discussed a lot. Although they were disappointed that they did not find a river, they still had a feeling of light up when they suddenly saw a puddle of clear water after seeing too many identical trees. It seemed that their anxious and tense hearts felt a little better.
of relaxation.
"Huh? Isn't there a fish?" Xiao Xiao smelled the crisp water vapor and felt refreshed for a while. When he looked down, he found black shadows swaying under the water, which were quite conspicuous, and he couldn't help but wonder.
