Chapter 537: Something Strange in the Mountains [3]
But it's easy to say, it's too hard to achieve both.
One is the problem of caves, Ye Zhen and Song Hu have never been here, and they don't know the terrain here, so it's not easy to find a clean cave with two people and one person with a flashlight.
The second is the problem of firewood, this is simply a small snowy mountain, how can there be clean firewood without snow? All of the firewood in this vicinity can't be lit, if it is for lighting, Ye Zhen and Song Hu have prepared candles and the like, and the most important thing is that the fire can be heated.
I don't know what will happen in the middle of the night, so I need a cave first, right? Therefore, finding the cave is the first goal, and the firewood thing can be slowed down. Taking advantage of the last ray of sunshine, Ye Zhen and Song Hu struggled to find it.
"Uncle's! This is not the way, it will not work, it will not work. Song Hu panted tiredly, and stood aside to rest on the tree.
But now there is no choice, there is no second choice at all, and it is estimated that I will have to rush to the night to quit now, and I will return in vain, and there is not enough time. If you don't rest, the danger is too great and it won't work, so you can only find a place to rest first.
Ye Zhen went to comfort Song Hu for a few words, he knew that Song Hu was just lacking in confidence, otherwise he wouldn't be tired at all.
"No way, I don't have a map right now, I don't know how to get around. Song Hu saw that Ye Zhen wanted to convince himself, but he was reluctant to wave his hand.
"Isn't life like this?full of all kinds of setbacks and difficulties, I don't bother to talk about these big truths now, can't I find it and it's over?" Ye Zhen said this, Song Hu looked at Ye Zhen, and Ye Zhen continued to search.
As night fell, there was no sound at all around, and footsteps could be heard quietly.
Ye Zhen thought of the strange things that the boss said before, and he was still a little uncomfortable in his heart, and he panicked.
Fortunately, there is Song Hu behind him, and there are people behind him all the time, which is a little more comfortable. Song Hu was very embarrassed, he needed to look at the road in front of him, and he also needed to look around and behind, to be honest, he didn't have the guts to be completely bad.
Fortunately, a hole was found, to be precise, it was a hole built by man, and it was clearly inhabited.
It's not deep, about five meters, but it's enough. The height inside is more than one meter nine, and Ye Zhen can't step on his feet when he goes in, but it's better than nothing, and Ye Zhen is not qualified to dislike it.
Ye Zhen took out a few facial tissues and wiped them inside the cave, there was nothing special, on the contrary, the ground was very clean, Ye Zhen took Song Hu's backpack and put the two backpacks in the innermost.
The only light in the cave was a flashlight for the two of them.
"Don't go out to look for wood, it's impossible, let's talk about it when you want to find dawn. "Fortunately, Song Hu is prepared, and he has also confirmed that this is a small snowy mountain, so he brought some flammable wood chips and some dried leaves and a few pieces of wood.
Even if these can be lit, just like that, at most half an hour, not even enough.
Unfortunately, the entrance to this cave is a full 1.5 meters in diameter, and it is facing the cold wind, so something must be piled up, otherwise it will be too cold.
But Ye Zhen and Song Hu were very tired, and Song Hu had already laid out two mats to rest. He didn't bring the quilt out, but Song Hu was in a hurry and covered it with new clothes, at least warmer.
Ye Zhen asked him. "It's facing the wind, aren't you fucking cold? It's no better than that firewood, you didn't sleep well tonight, come with me." ”
Although there is no firewood to ignite here, there is still firewood, and Ye Zhen's dagger is extremely sharp, plus Song Hu, who was dragged by Ye Zhen, the two of them tried their best to cut down a tree, which was just blocked at the door, leaving only about fifty centimeters of import and exit.
It's already pretty good, the two just have to lie on the other side and there won't be any wind.
Song Hu stood up and went to the innermost corner and took off his pants, Ye Zhen knew what he wanted to do, but Ye Zhen didn't stop him, and now let him go out to relieve his hands, it is estimated that he can't get out of the cold.
Ye Zhen was sitting, and there was a candle lit in the cave, and it was also the only candle.
But at this moment, there is a faint but bright fire, although it is not big, but at least it can see people clearly.
Ye Zhen is an optimist, no matter what, something is better than nothing.
Entering the mountain is doing this kind of thing, Ye Zhen can't sleep, and he doesn't dare to sleep with confidence.
Fortunately, Song Hu could see what Ye Zhen thought, and took the initiative to stay with Ye Zhen, and stayed with Ye Zhen without sleeping.
It's just very painful and sleepy. I want to sleep, but I'm afraid of something, but I'm sleepy, tired, and my eyes hurt.
In a daze, Ye Zhen really couldn't hold on, so he fell asleep.
When he woke up, it was already dawn, and it took Ye Zhen a minute to know that he had woken up, and knew that Song Hu had given up his sleep because he had stayed up late to give Ye Zhen a better quality of sleep.
Seeing that Ye Zhen woke up, Song Hu was ready to sleep.
It's already dawn, last night it was dark and cold, and it was not good to boil hot water, but now it's sunny outside and inside, and the whole person is in a good mood.
With such strong sunlight, it's about eight or nine o'clock now.
And it's already Thursday, and in terms of time, you need to find it today.
But Song Hu is just getting ready to go to bed now, and if it is early, it will take the afternoon, and if it is slow, it may not wake up until night.
It's useless to think so much, it's better to do something practical. In the morning, the wind was not strong, so Ye Zhen piled up the flammable wood chips prepared by Song Hu and some specially prepared ones and lit them.
Song Hu seemed to feel the warmth, and suddenly opened his eyes, but he was confused, said a dream word, closed his eyes and continued to sleep.
Ye Zhen thought that he had the spirit to go again, but he didn't expect him to be talking in his sleep, but he couldn't blame him, Song Hu was very tired.
At noon, Ye Zhen threw the wet leaves and branches he had picked up outside into the fire, and prayed that it could be lit slowly.
In the end, it was all a failure, and Ye Zhen began to check the contents of his backpack. "It's eleven o'clock, and I'll wake up Song Hu at one o'clock. ”
There is no time left, so I can only give Song Hu another two hours of sleep, if he is sleepy, he can survive today, and he will have a lot of time to sleep later.
The inspection is complete, there were no accidents yesterday, and naturally nothing will be lost. The time was almost up, and Ye Zhen cautiously woke up Song Hu.
"Hmm———— what are you doing?" Song Hu woke up, but he tossed and turned and refused to get up, still wanting to sleep.
"It's Thursday today, we're going back on Friday, have you forgotten?" was reminded by Ye Zhen like this, Song Hu remembered, nodded, and said to give him ten minutes to adjust.
Ten minutes later, Song Hu stood up, cleaned up his things very simply, drank the hot water boiled by Ye Zhen, and began to continue to set off.
This point happens to be the most comfortable time, and it is the best time to rush.
Although there is not enough time, they can only search together, if they are separated, Ye Zhen does not guarantee that both of them have the ability to resist unknown forces, if that person is not special, then the case will not be hastily closed, let alone leave such rumors in the world.
Song Hu was very positive, even more positive than Ye Zhen, and Ye Zhen doubted that he would take doping.
And the positive thing is very right, Song Hu is like an eagle soaring in the sky today, looking at what is accurate. It was him in front, and at four o'clock, he found a broken grass house in the distance.
Ye Zhen knew that now that the two of them had gone deep into the hinterland, no one should have been here before, otherwise there would be such an important place as this broken grass house, and no one would know about it?
Song Hu was very excited, he had never been so excited since he came to the present.
What he was holding in his hand was the signal map given to him by his friend, which made Ye Zhen also a lot more confident, and now Ye Zhen felt that he was following Song Hu to meet an old friend.
The two walked to the broken grass house, and they didn't dare to knock on the door directly for fear of startling the snake, but they didn't know what to do, how to not be thought of as a thief?
"Knock knock knock" Song Hu knocked on the door and found that the door was already broken at all, squeaked twice, and fell directly to the ground.
It was empty, and there was no furniture except for an old man sitting cross-legged in the middle of the broken grass hut.
Ye Zhen can understand that people who practice meditation only need to forage for food once for a long time, and then continue to meditate and cultivate, and they don't need to care about things outside the world at all.
I don't know why, seeing that there is a person in this room who is cultivating cross-legged, Ye Zhen does not feel surprised or frightened, but feels very normal and accustomed to the kind of feeling
The light in the broken grass house is not good, at least Ye Zhen didn't see his appearance clearly, but the voice was very hoarse, but it was not a very terrifying voice, it was a voice that had not spoken for a long, long time.
"He asked me to wait for two people, who are you?" Maybe there was no reminder from Song Hu's friend, the two of them broke in rashly, and he might have done it directly.
"Ye Zhen, Song Hu. Ye Zhen and Song Hu reported their names. He nodded, due to the problem of light, Ye Zhen didn't know if he had opened his eyes or made any expression.
In short, the whole broken grass house feels very smelly, a smell of blood, and it is not the fishy smell of animals, it is like the fishy smell of people.
Ye Zhen has experienced a lot of things, and he has long been able to distinguish between right and wrong, but it is difficult to say, but he can also be sure in his heart that he has killed a lot of people here.
"Fortunately, I have absorbed human essence and human blood while I am weak, otherwise I would have been tempted by the strength and strength of you two young men. Say, what are you looking for me?" Ye Zhen didn't expect him to directly tell what he had done.
Maybe the relationship between him and Song Hu's friend is really unusual, if it is replaced by Ye Zhen, he really needs to keep a hand, in case Ye Zhen and Song Hu have problems again.
"Alchemist, I just ask you to give us alchemy. Song Hu looked at Ye Zhen happily, this matter was about to be successfully completed.
"Alchemy?ha, this is the funniest joke I've ever heard, you just want the elixir?" His laughter seemed to be a little crazy, making Ye Zhen feel inexplicably uncomfortable and suffocated.
This sense of oppression made Ye Zhen very uncomfortable, and looking at Song Hu's expression, he was too.
"Angry at me, our purpose this time is to find an alchemist to alchemist, you are an alchemist, why do you say it is the funniest joke?" Ye Zhen didn't understand it, and had a good chat just now.
Although Ye Zhen is not particularly optimistic about this alchemist in his heart, because it seems that he is now relying on absorbing the essence of living people and the blood of living people to cultivate and improve his skills, but is it possible that this alchemist has such a high cultivation level and can also read minds?
