We reached the top of the mountain in about seven or eight minutes. The trees here were slightly taller and sparser, but the surrounding brightness was about the same.
We shouted repeatedly, but got no response. We couldn't help but feel an unknown feeling in our hearts. Could something have happened to them?
At this moment, a black shadow suddenly appeared in front of it. It was round and conspicuous. We walked over and slowly saw clearly that it was a large black tank, covered with a wooden board and weighed down by a big stone.
We looked at each other, not understanding how a big vat could appear in the woods on the mountain, and what was this big vat used for?
After walking around the big tank for a few times and still not being able to figure it out, Liu Qingping wanted to open it and look inside, but I stopped him. In fact, I was also very curious, but my intuition told me that I couldn't touch this tank casually because of its existence.
It's really weird. Could it be that someone else's pickles would come all the way here?
We continued to look for them and finally found them in front of a slope. But what we didn't expect was that all eleven of them fell to the ground. We went over to take a look and found that they were just fainted. They shouldn't be serious.
question.
After shaking them for a few times, they all woke up, and then looked around blankly one by one. I walked up to Liu Yingying and asked her what happened. She hesitated, but finally shook her head, making people feel
The strange thing is that they don't even know how they got here. They only remember going up the mountain, and the subsequent memories are blank as if they have been deleted, and they remember nothing.
I couldn't help but cast my eyes on the earth bag next to me. It looked like a tomb. I couldn't help but wonder, could this be Zhao Yulian's tomb? It did look a bit weird. This tomb was built ten years ago, but the top
But there wasn't even a blade of grass, and the ground for several meters around was bare, giving people a very weird feeling.
The weirdest thing is why they fainted in this place? And they can't remember anything. There must be some reasons that people don't know.
We didn't have the time to think about this. The top priority was to get out of here as soon as possible. It was almost dark, and looking at the surrounding environment always made people feel fuzzy.
A group of people rushed towards the village. On the way, I couldn't help but ask, and finally I understood why they had to go to the woods to check.
This matter is related to what one of our team members named Liu Xiaoyang saw. He also got up last night because it was inconvenient because there were so many people in the yard. He didn't take the old lady's instructions to heart and opened the door.
It was convenient to go out. He had just finished relieving himself and was about to enter the yard when he suddenly saw a black shadow floating quickly in the darkness not far away. It was obviously a human figure. He didn't care at the time. After all, he didn't care about this place.
No one understands it.
It wasn't until the child disappeared the next day that he felt something was wrong. He believed that the black shadow was the person who stole the child. At that time, the black shadow was heading directly in the direction of the woods, so they went to check.
Now that I think about it, I realize how shocking that discovery was. How could a normal person walk with "floating" movements? It's all because they wanted to solve the mystery so much at the time and didn't realize the seriousness of the problem at all.
Some people were already a little anxious and proposed the idea of leaving here tomorrow. This proposal was approved by most people, and they were not fools. What happened in this short period of time already made them feel that something was wrong.
It's no wonder that they are all young ladies from the city. They will feel scared when they experience such strange things at first. When the enthusiasm slowly fades, only fear is left in their hearts. The best way is to escape from here.
When we returned to Liu Yingying's house, it was already dark, and no one was discussing those weird things anymore. After having a hasty meal, they all went to their resting places. It could be seen that everyone had something in their hearts.
Depressed.
Just when I was drifting off to sleep, the tent was suddenly opened, and Shuiyue's voice came softly: "Wang Fo, come out, I have something to show you."
I was a little confused, what else happened in the middle of the night? People had already emerged from the tent, and Shuiyue led me towards the place where she rested. She lived in another wing of the main house with Yingying Guo and Song Meiting.
Inside, there was a bed, a big wooden bed made by myself, which could barely sleep the three of them.
When I opened the door, I saw a sight that made my scalp numb. Yingying Guo and Song Meiting were already up. They were sitting side by side at the only table in the room. Yingying Guo was holding a
She kept applying lipstick, and her mouth was as red as blood, but she still worked tirelessly. Song Meiting, on the other hand, took an eyebrow pencil and painted on her eyebrows, and kept painting, and kept painting...
Both of them had a weird smile on their lips. What was even weirder was that there was no mirror in front of them, but they would look in the mirror from time to time, and then continue to paint without finishing.
My spine felt a little chilly. This kind of weird behavior was even scarier than a sudden madness. "When did they start?" I asked Shuiyue.
"I have been repeating this action for almost more than an hour."
There must be something wrong. Women love beauty. They don’t get up in the middle of the night to dress up. It takes more than an hour to apply lipstick and draw eyebrows.
"Do you think they are sleepwalking?"
"It's unlikely. They were talking before. Besides, the possibility of two people sleepwalking and doing the same thing at the same time is too low."
I took a deep breath. If it wasn't sleepwalking, then things would be troublesome. I was most afraid of one thing. "Do you think they were possessed by a ghost?"
Shuiyue was silent for a moment, then shook her head and said: "We have experienced so many things, and we have never seen what ghosts look like. Whether there are ghosts or not is still a question. I think they may be mentally affected.
What influence? This must be related to their previous trip to the woods, but I don’t know what exactly they encountered. I have a feeling that we may not be able to leave tomorrow."
After thinking for a long time and still not getting any clues, Shuiyue asked me to go back and rest. Although the two women were in a bad state, they did not have the tendency to hurt others. Just be careful not to make any excessive moves.
As soon as I returned to the yard, I suddenly discovered something even stranger. Yang Yun and the others had crawled out of the tent at some point, and were sitting on the edge of the tent one by one, either scratching their heads or talking quietly.
Some people were combing their hair there, and some even took a basin from nowhere and looked at the bottom of the basin as if looking in the mirror.
If it is normal for two women to do this kind of thing, then it would be very weird for a group of grown men to do these things. Any fool can see that there is something wrong with them.
Damn it, it looks like I won’t be able to sleep tonight. Nonsense, with such a group of people around you who are imitating women, who wouldn’t feel nervous?
As soon as I reached the tent, Liu Qingping climbed out quickly, grabbed my shoulders, and said nervously: "Wang Fo, what the hell is going on? A group of old men came out to pretend to be women in the middle of the night, sir.
It feels like being fried in oil from head to toe, inside and out, it's so uncomfortable. Could these people be haunted by ghosts?"
If I hadn't listened to Shuiyue's words, I would have been so suspicious. Now it seems impossible. Even if it is a ghost stalking people, it is stalking one by one. Now everyone has problems, so it should have nothing to do with it.
"Qingping, you may be right. This matter may have something to do with the woods. If you want to run away now, it's still too late. I don't know what will happen in the future. Your wife is still waiting for you.
There is no need for you to wade through this muddy water."
Liu Qingping lowered his head and thought for a moment, then looked at me and said: "What about you? And my brothers and sisters. Since this matter is so troublesome, we might as well go together. Anyway, we can't control this matter. This is all their own fault.
It has nothing to do with us."
I smiled bitterly and said: "Although I say this, if we want to leave them here and ignore them, wouldn't it seem that we are too ruthless and unjust? After all, we were classmates for four years, and we still have to help strangers when we meet them."
It’s a handful, let alone a classmate! If we just leave, things will be easy, but our conscience won’t be able to bear it!”
Liu Qingping was silent. After a while, he slapped his thigh fiercely and said, "Forget it, I'll risk it, sir. Since you and your siblings are not afraid, what should I be afraid of? I won't leave either."
I patted his shoulder and decided to persuade him. I said: "You are different from us. Most people here are single. Shuiyue and I are not married yet, but your wife is about to give birth."
Now, you should be by his side at this time. Originally I didn’t approve of you traveling with us, but you refused to listen. Now this thing has happened here, and we don’t know what exactly happened. It’s possible
It will exceed our imagination, there is no need for you to take this risk with us."
But Liu Qingping seemed to be determined. No matter how much I tried to persuade him, he would remain indifferent. In short, he would not leave until we left.
Hey, he's too upright. This Northeastern guy is like this. He's more serious than ordinary people and is a bit stubborn on some things. I know it's useless to try to persuade him, so I just stop talking nonsense and just tell him, no matter what happens.
The most important thing is to ensure your own safety first.
Just as I said this, the door of the main house suddenly opened again. I saw Liu Yingying come out, then turned and walked towards the back of the house. She glanced at me before disappearing into the darkness, and then waved her hand gently.
