29. Suicide Forest

Xue Wei said that he had hesitated, after all, Shui Fangling was afraid of the ghost village, but the next thing let them know that they had no choice. When leaving the main city and going to the fishing village of Lushangjia, they still encountered the officers and soldiers in ambush, although Xue Wei has good skills, but with a girl, it is not easy to retreat. After a desperate struggle, he managed to escape with Shui Fangling.

However, the pursuers were like mad dogs, biting them to death. Xue Wei had no choice, saying that if he was caught by the officers and soldiers, he would not be able to protect Shui Fangling at that time, then Shui Fangling would definitely suffer inhuman treatment.

The ancient girl attached great importance to chastity, and after thinking about it again, he persuaded Shui Fangling to go to the ghost village, Shui Fangling knew that she was lonely, and saw that Xue Wei was injured and needed someone to take care of her, so she readily agreed.

It's just that the ghost village was a mysterious existence from the Qin Dynasty to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and Xue Wei only heard Lu Sheng say the general direction, but with the direction, how to go with a clear location? Just when he was worried about this matter, Shui Fangling told her that her father kept the map of Cuotou Town left by her ancestor when he was an official, and she vaguely remembered the location of Shuimen Village depicted above.

Because the pursuers were chasing closely, the two did not dare to stay in the same place for too long, and after determining the route, Shui Fangling searched for the way to Watergate Village with her memory. It's just that the time has passed too long, and the place names in many places have changed, Shui Fangling and Xue Wei have taken a lot of wrongful roads, but the girl is very smart, groping, and came to a secluded forest, which is a little abrupt compared with the barren mountains and bald mountains that they have walked before. The trees were large and tall, and the shadows were like hidden ghosts, and in the midst of them, wisps of smoke swirled like bewitching ghosts, giving people an oppressive and eerie feeling.

Seeing this forest, Shui Fangling was particularly excited, she said that in the map recorded by her ancestors during that period, there is the existence of this forest, this forest was originally in the Spring and Autumn Period, a group of trees planted by local officials in order to protect the wind blowing from the seaside, it was called "windbreak" in the early days, and later because of many changes in Watergate Village, it was called "Lost Forest" by outsiders, it is said that many people who entered the lost forest were hallucinating, became crazy, and finally hanged themselves, so this forest is also called "Suicide Forest", it is a place with heavy yin energy.

Shui Fangling said that this is the only place to enter the ghost village, if the pursuers know this place and do not chase in, they hide in the woods, and when the time comes, they can leave. However, the pursuers did not give up, and by that time, by late afternoon, the light light in the sky had left only its last breath, and the night had swallowed up most of the day. Shui Fangling remembered the terrible legend about the "Suicide Forest", and hesitated to throw herself into the secluded secret mouth, but Xue Wei saw that there were countless chasing soldiers behind him, and those people were all holding sharp weapons, thinking that it would be better to be caught than to go in, so he dragged Shui Fangling into the Suicide Forest.

"Weizi, you are really awesome, you said that it was a ghost village, so you didn't hesitate to go in?" Baocai shrank back, looking a little scared, I also have this feeling of listening to the story, but deep in it, because if we want to go to Watergate Village in the future, we will also walk into the "suicide forest".

Among us, Chen Yu didn't take the "suicide forest" seriously, he listened to it with relish, and was suddenly interjected by Baocai, and shouted unhappily: "Thief monkey, don't interrupt Weizi." ”

Baocai glanced at Chen Li, straightened his body timidly, everyone returned to silence, Xue Wei took a sip of water, and continued: "It's not that I'm bold, it has something to do with my work, to be honest, once upon a time, I felt that dealing with the dead was much easier than dealing with the living, and I also believe that the ghost theory does not exist, after all, our time and the present are more than a thousand years apart, and the thoughts that have been ahead of more than a thousand years cannot be easily erased by gossip. ”

I nodded, but what happened in ancient times made me deny this statement again, "What about next? Did you encounter something terrible?"

Xue Wei said with a solemn face: "Although I don't believe in gossip, but the ear is this thing, after all, it is used to listen, after entering the suicide forest, the smoke really gave me a coolness that penetrated into the bone marrow, at that time I didn't know the effect of this in my heart, or it was really like this, an unprecedented fear covered my heart, so that every step I take, like walking on thin ice." ”

"That'...... Did the pursuers give up the pursuit?" Chen Yu was like a child listening to a story when he was a child, staring at the old man with wide eyes and full of anticipation when he talked about the key point.

Xue Wei shook his head: "No, they don't seem to know where we are going, so they followed in in a daze, because of their pursuit, my anxious heart burned at that time, and the desire for life replaced fear, and I dragged Shui Fangling to escape from those people." ”

"Didn't you run into anything in the Suicide Forest?"

Xue Wei glanced at me and said with a wry smile: "At that time, I finally believed that the source of gossip was always accompanied by a real event. Xue Wei's gaze became blurred.

When they ran into the middle of the forest, it was already completely dark, at that time, Xue Wei still had a lamp on his body, he used the lamp to shine, and ran forward, however, soon, he faintly found that in the darkness ahead, there was something hanging, and everything around him had no sound except for him and Fang Ling's breathing. Confused by the unknown object in front of him, he approached cautiously, and before he could see clearly, he heard a man behind him shout sharply: "Ah-" The officers and soldiers who chased in were frightened, because after that shout, many people shouted in panic: "Ghost!

Xue Wei gasped, Shui Fangling looked around uneasily, and surrounded his hand in fear, Xue Wei turned around, thinking that the pursuers were in danger and wanted to take advantage of this to escape, but before he ran a few steps, he stopped again. Because the moment he looked up, he saw the most terrifying picture he had ever seen in his life. Under a circle of cold white light, in the environment of the black bushes, there was something gently swinging, spotted with the lamp, creepy, it turned out that the tree was hanging a highly decomposed corpse, in such a cold light full of infinite reverie, Shui Fangling screamed in horror, Xue Wei instinctively covered her mouth and comforted her: "It's just some dead people who can't move." ”

Shui Fangling stared wide-eyed, panting deeply, her hands kept trembling, but at the same time, she was also a weak on the outside, a strong girl on the inside, she was comforted by Xue Wei, adjusted her panicked mind, at that time, the footsteps behind became mixed, the pursuers fled in their direction in panic, Xue Wei pulled Shui Fangling forward, and then just took a few steps, I saw more than one corpse hanging above my head, the shocking scene, made the bold Xue Wei shudder, he stabilized his mind, there were already chasing soldiers close at hand, Xue Wei knew that he wanted to run again, Shui Fangling must not be able to bear it for a while, and quickly turned off the lights and squatted down on the spot with her。
