A second β of small β³ said Β§ net.. Wonderful novels to read for free!
It was Li Yingsheng, the eldest son of the town mayor Li Delai's family, Zhu Mengtian thought he was here to find their "geological expedition group", but when he looked down, he saw him walking towards the counter with two big watermelons in his hands, and then frowned, and said to Jiao Shuyin, who was reading a book, in a sullen tone: "Why are you guarding the store again?"
I wish Meng Tian squeezed his eyebrows at Zong Shaoxian-there is a good show to watch!
Zong Shaoxian rolled his eyes--you're the gossip!
Jiao Shuyin raised his head, smiled when he saw him, seemed to be quite familiar with him, and said after putting down the book: "Anyway, I'm idle and idle, and I can't sleep in the morning, I heard my mother say that you want to take a few guests up the mountain, are you here to discuss with them?"
"Well," Li Yingsheng put the two watermelons he was carrying on the counter, lowered his eyebrows and said, "By the way, I will give this to you, the new variety cultivated this year, yesterday my aunt said that I wanted to taste it." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Zhu Meng Tian and Zong Shaoxian have been standing next to them, Li Yingsheng didn't notice them, Zhu Meng Tian said in his heart, I'm afraid it's only by the way to discuss with them.
Jiao Shuyin was stunned when he saw the watermelon, "How embarrassing is this......
"It's okay," Li Yingsheng was not very good at words, so he changed the topic, as if he didn't want to say more to Jiao Shuyin, "You ice the watermelon, I'll go find someone from the inspection group." β
Jiao Shuyin was about to tell him the room number of Feng Rong and the others, but when she turned her head, she saw Zhu Mengtian and Zong Shaoxian standing nearby pouring a cup of tea and drinking, so she shouted: "Brother Sheng, the guests of the delegation are here." β
Li Yingsheng also happened to see them, turned around and walked over, because Feng Rong had mentioned that it was okay to find Zong Shaoxian if he had something to do, so he walked over and asked, "Mr. Zong, have you decided how many people will go up the mountain tomorrow?"
Zong Shaoxian nodded, "There are five in total, we can carry the instrument ourselves, do you take us alone or find someone to come along?"
Li Yingsheng nodded, "I'll do it alone, have you decided the direction and location?" In the afternoon, Feng Rong and they just told him a general range, and the specific location was to be determined, saying that some data was still needed to calculate.
Zong Shaoxian took the map printed out by Ding Youlan with him, took it out and gave it to Li Yingsheng, and asked him to study it, Li Yingsheng pondered for a moment, his brows furrowed slightly, "This place ......"
Zhu Meng Tian raised his eyebrows, "Is there any problem?"
Li Yingsheng drew a circle on the map and circled the place they were going, "This place is a deep valley, the trees are very tall and big, there are relatively large animals, the wind blows and whines, it is easy to get lost and can't come back, we all call it the ghost valley, and under normal circumstances, no one will go to that area." β
Zhu Meng Tian and Zong Shaoxian looked at each other, and Zhu Meng Tian said: "You don't mean that we can't go, right?"
"No," Li Yingsheng shook his head, his expression was faint, he looked like a very bold person who was not afraid of ghosts and gods, "There are a lot of legends about the ghost valley in the town, but I don't believe in this, I usually go hunting, but the terrain is a little complicated, there is nothing about gods and ghosts, and the water of the river outside the town also flows from there, when you said that you were going to that area in the afternoon, I thought that you might choose the ghost valley, so I prepared some things, be prepared." β
Sounding like an experienced veteran, Zong Shaoxian asked, "Do you need us to do anything?"
Li Yingsheng said: "Try to pick someone with good physical strength, and if you can carry weights, you can light it, I think you will also know how to use both hands, and you shouldn't panic when you encounter snakes, minks and the like." "But just after the earthquake, there shouldn't be many animals in the mountains. Li Yingsheng himself is a practitioner, and it is not strange to see that they have a foundation, Zong Shaoxian said: "No problem, then I will work hard for you tomorrow." β
Li Yingsheng said: "It should be. β
Then Li Yingsheng said hello to Jiao Shuyin and left, the counter was not far from them, Jiao Shuyin listened to it a few times, and asked thoughtfully: "Are you going to the Ghost Valley?"
Zhu Mengtian smiled, a little prodigal and amorous, "Investigation, that's it, where is the hard work." β
Jiao Shuyin also bent his lips and half-jokingly: "A group of you people look like rich children going out to play in the mountains and rivers, not quite like they are investigating geology. β
Zong Shaoxian looked at her, and Zhu Meng Tian immediately shook his finger at her with a serious face, "Beauty, what you said is not right, how can you judge people by their appearance?"
Jiao Shuyin begged for mercy, "Okay, I was wrong, I wish you a lot of don't be surprised, young master." β
They joked a few words, and Jiao Shuyin suddenly said: "Actually, many old people in the town say that there are really ghosts in the valley. β
Zhu Mengtian didn't believe it, "Do you still believe this?" But in fact, they are really not afraid of ghosts, and the biggest ghost is in their group......
Jiao Shuyin was noncommittal, "When I was a child, I listened to it a lot, it will be a bit of a psychological shadow, when the town was not so prosperous before, it was pitch black at night, and I really couldn't see my fingers when I stretched out my hand, I was often scared to sleep, blindfolded and opened my eyes until I was sleepy and couldn't stand it, now that I think about it, I guess it's used to describe me." β
Zong Shaoxian nodded, "Children are timid, and it is normal to be afraid of the dark. β
Jiao Shuyin is not uncomfortable talking about his own troubles, "Yes, the favorite of the older generation is to scare us with the story of the ghost called the valley, I have heard many versions, and I personally think there is a story that is more reliable and true, do you want to hear it?"
Zhu Meng Tian listened to it, "I like to listen to ghost stories at night." β
Especially in this kind of old inn, the lamps are made in the shape of lanterns, which are half-turned off because of the depth of the night, and the remaining lanterns reflect a dim light, which seems a little dim, and from time to time there are guests coming and going, and the footsteps on the wooden staircase are very clear, which is simply the best place for ghost stories to brew.
Zong Shaoxian and Jiao Shuyin were a little helpless when they saw him so excited, but Jiao Shuyin probably felt that it was boring to keep the store, and really made a storytelling posture, sorted out his thoughts before saying: "This version was told to me by the young uncle in the town, I don't know what his full name is, I only know that he is a rare scholar a few decades ago, and he came out of the college entrance examination in the fifties...... When he was young, he went out to the sea to do business, and then it wasn't a policy problem, he came back alone, was arrested to do ideological education, and when he was the most severe, he couldn't stand it, and fled into the mountains behind the town in the middle of the night with a bag of rice and a pot. β
Zhu Mengtian didn't care too much about it, but he couldn't help but be attracted when he heard this, mainly because Jiao Shuyin was expressionless, and his voice was also clear and cold, there was no feeling of frustration in the storyteller's voice, but because of the blandness, it became more and more real, Zhu Mengtian asked: "He fled to the Ghost Valley?"
"Well, at that time, the name of the ghost called Gu had already spread, and I don't know which generation/started to call it, anyway, everyone didn't dare to go inside, Qingbo felt that he was dead and vertical anyway, so he simply plunged into it, and the people who chased him really didn't dare to go in, although it was said that the four old ones were broken, but there were still people in the town who would be afraid, mainly because there were tigers and wolves in the mountains at that time, and no ghosts would be eaten by tigers and wolves," Jiao Shuyin continued, the corners of his eyes looked a little condensed in the white light," Qingbo relied on the bag of rice in it for half a month, and when the rice was finished, he caught rabbits and pheasants to eat, just when he thought he would live a savage life, there was a strong wind one night, and the whole ghost crying valley was a ghost crying wolf, he said that the sound was too terrifying, like some inexplicable creature was circling around you, even if you knew that it was a miracle of nature, but it would still be creepy. β
Not to mention Zhu Mengtian, even Zong Shaoxian couldn't help but listen to it, "I really want to see it...... "There is still a difference between real ghosts and nature's miracles, how can man-made compare to natural miracles?"
"Maybe you will have something to gain when you go tomorrow," Jiao Shuyin said, and then continued the story just now: " At that time, Qingbo stayed there alone, there was no lamp or flashlight, a little fire, the wind blew out the fire, he hid in the cave and couldn't avoid the strange wind, and then a python took the opportunity to attack him, Qingbo was frightened, he ran out of the cave without thinking about it, stumbled and didn't know where he went, and then tripped and fell into a deep pit, he borrowed a little moonlight, and saw that there were all large and small bones inside, human, and some bones that could not be seen what animals were, and more strange things, such as big fish bones with wings, or snakes with legs, they seemed to have experienced a cruel warIn the end, all the stones were buried in the Valley of Ghost Screaming, and that was the first time he suspected that there were really some strange creatures in this world that humans didn't know. β
"Even if it's just bones that don't move, it's scary enough at night," Jiao Shuyin smiled when he said this, as if he wanted to ease the atmosphere, but quickly regained his expressionless appearance, "But Qingbo's leg was broken, and it was too dark to climb up, just when he thought he would spend the night with a pile of bones...... He saw a ghost. β
Zong Shaoxian and Zhu Mengtian were both stunned.
Jiao Shuyin's expression didn't change much, "He said that it was a ghost, white, like the shape of a misty human being, floating around him, and he couldn't think about it in that situation, and he was scared and fainted at that time." β
"But he can still tell you this story to prove that he is not dead......" Zhu Mengtian thought for a while, "Someone went to save him?"
"Maybe that ghost saved him," Jiao Shuyin's expression also changed subtly when he said this, I don't know if what Qingbo said is true, but I don't think he should be lying, he fainted that night, and when he woke up the next day, he was woken up by the sun, and he found himself lying at the mouth of the valley where the ghost screamed, there was no deep pit next to it, and there were no bones, even his feet were intact, except for the marks of scratches on his clothes, that night was like a dream, he was so frightened that he returned to the town in a daze, and he was seriously ill, and the whole person was as if he was scared stupid, and the people who criticized him saw that others were not ghosts, so they didn't trouble him anymoreγ β
Zhu Mengtian felt that this story was really full of twists and turns, "So that was his hallucination?"
"He didn't know either, but he said that the touch of touching the bones and the feeling of breaking his leg at that time were very real, he didn't believe it was fake, this incident had plagued him for most of his life, but he didn't have the courage to go to the Valley of Ghosts again," Jiao Shuyin said, "He never believed in ghosts and gods before, and after that experience, he felt that there was indeed a magical existence in this world, but no one had ever been to the Valley of Ghosts over the years, but no one had ever seen a deep pit there, and there were countless bones in the pit." β
