"You take a rest first, I'll go out to find some water, and find a higher place to see if there is any signal on the mobile phone so that I can contact Uncle Jin," Chen Zhi said to Mr. Bao.
Mr. Bao nodded and handed the phone to Chen Zhi. Chen Zhi's phone was left with Qin Yueyang in the village.
The moonlight in the sky outside was very bright, but the surrounding forest was pitch black. Chen Zhi glanced at his cell phone, but there was no signal. He took the kettle and walked along the shadows in the forest, looking for a higher place.
He first climbed up a hillside, and after making sure there were no pursuing soldiers around, he showed his head and tried the mobile phone signal, but it still didn't work. There was no chance at all. Chen Zhi was a little desperate. He had no choice but to climb down and head towards the woods.
Walk along and look for the stream.
There was no shortage of water sources in the mountains. Chen Zhi followed the sound of water and quickly found a small stream in the mountains. He hurried over and drank several mouthfuls of it as if drinking from a sweet spring. His throat was already filled with smoke from the exhaustion of the day.
Chen Zhi filled a pot full of spring water and washed his face in the water under the moonlight. At this time, Chen Zhi discovered that the water in the stream was very turbid. When he looked up, a colored liquid flowed down.
, seems... to be blood.
Chen Zhi glanced upstream and saw a forest in the distance, so dark that nothing could be seen clearly.
When Chen Zhi returned to the cave with the kettle, Master Bao was warming himself by the fire. Chen Zhi handed the kettle over, and Master Bao took it and drank heavily. He had lost too much blood just now and now he needed to replenish a lot of water.
.
"Did you see them outside just now?" Mr. Bao put down the kettle and looked at Chen Zhi and asked.
"No" Chen Zhi shook his head.
Mr. Bao frowned, and this answer seemed to be beyond his expectation. "That troop is very powerful. They won't give up if they can't find us. There are hounds in their team headquarters, and the smell of blood on our bodies is very strong. Logically speaking,
Said they should catch up to this area now."
"Maybe it's too remote here!" Chen Zhi replied, digging out half a box of cigarettes from his cross-body bag, handing one to Mr. Bao, and lighting one himself.
Mr. Bao took a puff of cigarette, was silent for a while, and said, "This valley is very strange. We didn't see any animals while running here. And after you left, I went out to take a look. It was so quiet in this valley."
, something is wrong.
Mr. Bao took another puff, blew out the smoke, looked calmly into the fire with his gray eyes, and whispered: "What I'm afraid of is that there might be something else here that would make them afraid to come in. It seems that tonight,
It’s not easy for us.”
Since there were no pursuers, Chen Zhi lit up the bonfire. Most wild beasts are afraid of fire at night, so Mr. Bao should be in no danger for the time being in the cave. Chen Zhi decided to go out again, firstly because there was nothing to eat.
He wanted to see if he could catch a wild rabbit. Secondly, he wanted to take a walk upstream of the stream to see what was there.
When Chen Zhi was walking in this valley, he felt that this valley was a bit strange. Not only could he not see big animals, but he could not even see rabbits or mountain birds. There was only a lifeless forest. This was very abnormal in the deep mountains.
Yes, there was an eerie silence around Chen Zhi, and nothing could be heard except the sound of wind and leaves.
The creek was not far away. Soon, Chen Zhi reached the creek again.
Chen Zhi squatted down and scooped up the stream water and took a look. The turbid color in the water was indeed blood, and it was still flowing downward.
"Where did the blood come from? Did an animal die upstream? Impossible. An animal cannot shed so much blood. What is that? Could it be..."
In fact, Chen Zhi had been mentally prepared. The armed team of the mysterious organization was very skilled. Sooner or later, they would find this place. Mr. Bao was seriously injured, and they basically had no hope of survival. But after so long, even that team
No shadows were seen, not even the barking of dogs. It was as if the team just disappeared in this primeval forest.
Chen Zhi walked upstream along the stream. The moon was bright and clear, and the surroundings were deathly silent, which was so quiet that it made one's hair tremble.
The woods around him were getting denser and denser. He walked to an area with very tall trees and saw the creek turning a corner and inserting into the dense woods.
Chen Zhi turned on his flashlight and walked into the woods in the dark. The trees in this forest were different from the common birch trees in Daxinganling. The branches of these trees were very dense, and the trunks were thick and rough. Chen Zhi had already seen it after walking into the woods.
There is no moonlight in the sky.
After walking less than 200 meters, he suddenly saw a black shadow in the darkness ahead, like a wall.
Chen Zhi turned on his flashlight and walked forward. Behind the dead land, Chen Zhi saw the wall. I really don’t know what age it was. It was only a wall that was weathered by the wind and rain. There were long growths on it.
It was covered with green moss and weeds, and there was a big hole in the middle of the wall.
Chen Zhi squatted down and walked through the cave, and saw a stone staircase covered with weeds all the way up. Chen Zhi walked up the stairs and within twenty meters, he saw a very dilapidated ancient temple.
, overgrown with weeds and covered by a fallen dead tree.
It was so dark here. Under Chen Zhi's flashlight, he could only see some cornice tiles and rotted black walls of the ancient temple. The temple roof seemed to have collapsed in half. On the plaque, he could make out the ancient seal script "山"
Temple".
This mountain temple is not big, with only one main hall. The slopes on both sides are very steep. This ancient temple must have been forgotten by people in the long river of time.
The door was completely rotten, so Chen Zhi did not dare to make any movement, so he gently took off the old-fashioned furniture, put it on the ground aside, and then shined a flashlight inside.
There is a shrine in the shrine, surrounded by murals, which are very fine. The colors and lines of the murals are revealed from the thick mold. The painting work is exquisite, and it is definitely not the rough work of inferior craftsmen.
This surprised Chen Zhi. Judging from the corrosion of the murals, this temple was at least a thousand or two thousand years old, but the specific age could not be determined. Generally, mountain temples were built by local villagers themselves. Who was it?
What is the purpose of building such a temple in this deep mountain? It seems that there are too many secrets in this mountain.
Chen Zhi shined his flashlight under the shrine and glanced at the mountain god in the shrine, but the face he saw was beyond Chen Zhi's expectation.
