Chapter 1: The Fog of the Mountains

Next Chapter

Xu Yixuan was born in a small mountain village, not far from the county seat, only a few dozen kilometers away.

In addition, since he can remember, the village has built a road to the county seat, and it is only an hour's drive, so this small mountain village with only about 100 households is not remote and backward.

Therefore, even Xu Yixuan, who was born in a small mountain village, has received a modern education since he was a child, and under the rendering of the social situation, he, like the vast majority of modern people, firmly believes that there are no ghosts in this world, and thinks that the bizarre stories in the mouths of the older generation are just used by adults to scare children.

No matter how bad it is, they are too backward in those days, and they classify all the strange things they don't know into ghost stories that no one has ever seen.

Although, at that time, Xu Yixuan had just graduated from the first grade of kindergarten.

It wasn't until he was 8 years old that an incident happened that completely changed his mind and made him discover.

My own ideas are just too naïve, in this world, there are many things that he can not say, sometimes we think that it is just me.

If you want to talk about it, you have to start with one night when he was 8 years old.

Xu Yixuan's grandfather, that is, his father's father, when it comes to his profession, maybe some young people at that time didn't think so, he was a deceitful stick, and because of this, Xu Yixuan was often bullied by kindergarten children, and no one wanted to be friends with him. Xu Yixuan often squatted in a corner alone, talking to himself and accompanying himself.

"Your grandfather is a liar! You are also a liar, a little liar!"

"You're a liar, your whole family is a liar!"

This kind of conversation is the most common thing Xu Yixuan said to the children in kindergarten.

It wasn't until later that when he was bullied, Yang Jun, who was stronger than him, beat up a little friend who took the lead in making fun of him, and no one dared to make fun of him after that, and his only friend in his entire childhood was only Yang Jun.

Grandpa has always been called a liar by the children, but Xu Yixuan has never seen him do anything since he was a child, and he has always been An An to help his parents with housework. Xu Yixuan would also ask him why others said that his grandfather was a liar, and his grandfather always smiled, as if he didn't take it to heart at all.

"Let people say it, and there is no excuse for the sin you want. ”

He touched his head, as if he understood or not, in fact, he didn't understand at all, but he didn't ask anymore, after all, at that age, he had no heart or lungs, except for playing, everything else was not important.

It wasn't until later that my grandfather said that he was tired and wanted to move to the mountains to enjoy happiness alone.

At that time, Xu Yixuan was still young, and asked him if the mountains were full of trees and no houses, so how could he live?

Grandpa touched Xu Yixuan's little head, and lovingly said that grandpa used to live in the mountains and built a mud house, but later grandpa died, so it was empty, and he could live in Xiuxiu.

So, Grandpa took his simple luggage and went to the deep mountains to live in seclusion.

And this thing that almost changed Xu Yixuan's life happened here.

I remember that it was a vacation after the first grade of kindergarten, and as soon as the holiday was over, Xu Yixuan ran to his grandfather, I have to say that grandpa is sometimes an old naughty boy, like a child, he can always play with their group of children, and he is not under the same pressure as other adults, so he is also happy to be with him.

There are no fields left deep in the mountains, and there are green natural pastures everywhere, and many famous and unknown wildflowers bloom all over the mountains.

Grandpa took Xu Yixuan to a sunny meadow. Picked up his dry tobacco bag and smoked it, saw Xu Yixuan looking at him with a smile, suddenly took a puff of dry tobacco in his mouth, and then spit on Xu Yixuan's face, and his face was suddenly flushed.

"Ahem...."

Seeing that Xu Yixuan was choked and couldn't stop tears flowing out, grandpa giggled happily.

Xu Yixuan slammed the ground, got up with a grunt, and then ran to the grass on the side with a smile and cough.

At that time, after all, he was only an 8 or 9-year-old child, the most playful, curious about everything he saw, curious about everything he saw, so he went deeper and deeper, farther and farther away from his grandfather, completely forgetting the time.

Suddenly, the sound of "fluttering" scared Xu Yixuan a lot, although he didn't believe in ghosts and gods, but human beings are instinctively afraid of the unknown. Not to mention that Xu Yixuan was still young at that time.

On closer inspection, it turned out to be a pheasant flying out of a bush of grass.

"Ouch mom, it scared me to death. ”

Xu Yixuan, who was taken aback, was more excited, for things in the wild, children of his age were always full of curiosity and liked tightly.

Xu Yixuan patted his chest, walked over and picked up the grass to see, good guy, it was a nest of wild eggs, counted, there were eight of them, exactly the same as eggs, but obviously more than half smaller than eggs.

It turned out that a nest of pheasants was hatching, and he was disturbed by Xu Yixuan passing by and was frightened, so he flew out, which startled him.

Xu Yixuan took one hand and pulled the shirt into the shape of a bag, and just picked up two wild eggs, when suddenly a thought flashed in his mind, and he put the two wild eggs in the shirt back into the nest. At this time, grandpa's voice sounded, it was not early, grandpa was telling him to go back.

He hesitated for a moment, carefully restored the messed grass beside the pheasant's nest, then secretly noted down the location of the pheasant's nest, and went back with his grandfather.

It was getting dark, and even when he was eating, he was absent-minded, thinking about his plans. After eating hastily, he and his grandfather took a basket and a water and electricity supply, and prepared to go to the place where the pheasant nest was found today to catch the pheasant.

This is Xu Yixuan's plan, he grew up in the mountains, and naturally knows that the pheasants in the hatch, even if they are frightened, will return to the nest at night, so he is thinking about tonight during the day.

Xu Yixuan said to his grandfather that he went out to catch pheasants and walked into the night alone, he was originally a child of the mountain, plus I have come to my grandfather a lot of times, and I am quite familiar with this mountain, so my grandfather is also relieved that he will go out alone, just remind him not to go too far, especially not to go in the direction of the big black mountain, listening to his tone, the mountain seems to be very terrifying.

However, Xu Yixuan didn't care, his mouth was full of promises, and he didn't think so, is it not the same mountain? What's so terrible? The place I'm going to go to is not in the direction of Daheisheng? But he didn't say this to his grandfather.

With the faint light emitted by the hydropower, his weak figure gradually penetrated deep into the mountains.

The sounds of various animals kept sounding around him, but Xu Yixuan enjoyed this unique feeling a little, just imagine, walking alone on a dark mountain road in a dark night, listening to all kinds of beautiful sounds, what is it like?

Well, some say what it can be like, it's so oozing. Indeed, for the vast majority of people, this is indeed not a pleasure, but Xu Yixuan was just 8 or 9 years old at that time, just at the age when he didn't know anything, didn't know anything, and was afraid of anything, plus he lived in the mountains since he was a child, it was indeed a state of mind that ordinary people couldn't understand.

As it gradually deepened, the bright moon that was still hanging in the sky gradually dimmed, he knew that it was foggy, in the mountains, the most taboo is the foggy day, even during the day, it is very likely to get lost, not to mention that it is night, he naturally knows, but maybe it is young and ignorant, or it is the persistence that he wants to achieve his goal.

Xu Yixuan not only did not stop, but went deeper and deeper into the direction of the pheasant's nest found during the day according to his vague memory.

But gradually, Xu Yixuan found a very serious problem, he was lost, at this time, even if he wanted to return, he couldn't find the way he came.
