Approaching dusk, standing at the intersection of the canyon, there is an endless broad-leaved forest in front of you. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 The breeze blows slowly, and the sound of leaves gently rings around, and the feeling of freshness and calm suddenly penetrates into the hearts of the people. The unique natural scenery of this mountain forest is refreshing and pleasant to see, and there is a kind of comfort in the heart that has never been before, which makes people flutter like immortals.

He simply dismounted and strolled through it. He himself felt strange, he had traveled to countless places in his life, and he had also seen countless places of interest. But today, it feels so quiet. It is clear and quiet to the bottom of people's hearts, as if people have been integrated into it.

He breathed in the fresh air with the fragrance of forest leaves, and almost wanted to shout and sing a song to relieve the good mood in his heart, but he was afraid to break the atmosphere.

Walking in the broad-leaved forest, along the curved road, you can enjoy the freshness and pleasantness of the forest around you. He even wondered if this path could go on like this!

As soon as his thoughts were broadened, others became clear for a while, and his pace slowed down for a while. On the one hand, I don't forget to look east and west.

Stepping onto a suspended bridge made of wooden planks, he lowered his head and looked at the stream flowing under the bridge. The water is crystal clear, and a school of fish swims leisurely. Blue sky and white clouds, Xiucai actually has a feeling that the water is the cloud and the cloud is the water at this time.

A puff of smoke drifted over. Xiucai looked up: Could it be that the clouds came out of the water? When he came back to his senses, he smelled a strong aroma of barbecue game. He didn't want to break the silence of the forest, but a voice sounded very discordantly, not far ahead.

Xiucai smiled and couldn't help but swallow. At this time, all fantasies are empty, far less tangible than filling an empty stomach. He traced across the pontoon bridge, forked off the road, and went downhill. Turning a few big trees, he saw a few hunters dressed up on the edge of the creek, making a fire and setting up a wooden frame around it to barbecue a mountain flavor. There were also a few hunted raccoons and pheasants over there.

As soon as he saw the delicious oil, Xiucai's saliva flowed out, and he said hello and ran straight up.

These three were the hunters on the other side of the mountain, who had been hunting for most of the day and had a great harvest, and rested by the stream in the forest as usual. Among the three, one is old and two are young, both of whom are particularly simple mountain people. Especially the old one, his face showed the vicissitudes of life.

The three hunters obviously hadn't read any books, and for this person who suddenly appeared like a scholar, he was especially a suave person, quite pleasing to the eye from the inside out, full of gorgeous bustling urbanites, and his face showed admiration. The three of them looked at this Xiucai up and down, probably they had never seen such a brilliant person, they were stunned for a long time, and finally the old man asked him about his intention.

Where does this Xiucai have any purpose and intentions, he is just a passer-by, but he still wants to be in the limelight: Xiaosheng is the supervisor of the capital secretary, and he wants to go to the south because of the visit to the people. I passed by your place, I don't know the way, so I came to ask for information.

The three of them didn't dare to slack off at this time, and hurriedly greeted and politely greeted each other. The people in the mountains are hospitable, and in a few words, Xiucai not only ate the freshly baked game, but also slaughtered a pheasant for him to prepare food for the road.

While eating, Xiucai also inquired about the landform of this forest. The three of them were obviously quite familiar with this forest, and they were talking nonsense all over the world for a while, but when they heard him say that they wanted to walk this forest alone, they all hesitated a little in their eyes.

The old man put the pheasant on the fire and roasted it, and said, "Little brother guest, it will take two hours to get out of this forest." It's getting late, and I'm afraid you won't be able to get to the town on the other side of the forest before dark. ”

Xiucai smiled: "Don't worry, thanks to your blessings, I am full of food, I am in good spirits, and I am walking slowly." ”

The old man looked around, as if he was worried about something, and said with some worry: "Of course you can't be in a hurry, if you are not in a hurry, little brother, it will be dark in a few quarters of an hour, and it is not easy to walk in the forest." ”

Xiucai said: "It's okay! To say that it's dark, this road is spacious, the moon is shining, I'm alone and empty-handed, there is no burden, it's okay." ”

The old hunter said: "That's right, it's just the rule of our mountain people, after dark, it's better not to walk at night than to go." ”

Xiucai smiled: "It doesn't matter, walking in the dark, I'm not this time." Besides, I'm from the city, and I don't believe in superstition. ”

Now the two younger hunters couldn't help it, and one said: "This official brother, you don't know, we used to hunt at night, how can we not hunt early in the dark? It's just recently-" He stopped for a moment, as if he didn't know what to say. The other young man looked around, grabbed the words and said, "Little brother, I advise you to leave tomorrow, there are some strange things in this forest recently." As soon as he finished speaking, he looked around nervously. At this time, it is still early, the light is still bright, the forest is quiet, and the pure scenery is still moving forward.

Xiucai looked at them cautiously, not a little strange, and asked, "How do you say this? Could it be that there are still jackals, tigers, leopards, and beasts here?"

"If only the beasts were fine, we're worried that we won't find our prey!"

"If it's not a beast, could it be that there are ghosts in this forest?" Xiucai blurted out, and the two young men stopped, not daring to say anything more, only looking into the depths of the forest behind them. The old hunter was also startled, and did not speak for a long time. He looked at Xiucai, as if he wanted to speak and stopped.

Xiucai was strange, and his heart said that he really said it to himself? Is this forest really famous? But he smiled on his face and said, "Even if there are ghosts, I am not afraid." As the saying goes, people don't do bad things, and they are not afraid of ghosts. Although I haven't done anything good to help others, at least I haven't done anything hurtful, and the ghost won't find me if he wants to find it. You can rest assured. ”

The old hunter said: "Little brother, it's not that the little old man intends to intimidate you, it's not safe to walk in the dark." You are a literati, and you don't have a self-defense weapon, don't say anything about ghosts, even if you encounter a leopard and a wolf, I'm afraid it will scare you enough. ”

Xiucai saw their expressions and knew that things must not be simple, and he was also curious, but he deliberately wanted to leave.

"No, there are ghosts in this forest!" the young man called out for a moment.

Xiucai was stunned: "Is there really a ghost?"

The young man couldn't care about it: "It's true!"

Xiucai said: "You shouldn't be lying to me, right? If there are really ghosts, then you dare to hunt in this forest?"

The young hunter said, "Who would dare to do it? It's just that in the vicinity of our village, there are still some leopards and muntjac pheasants to hunt here, but there is not even a single chicken feather in other places." ”

Another young hunter also said: "Even if it is hunting, we also need several people to gather together, and dare to step in during the day." If it were night, even if you lent me a hundred guts, I wouldn't dare. ”

Xiucai said: "If you want to say that there are ghosts in this world, I really haven't seen them." Isn't it a deliberate prank to scare you?"

The young hunter said, "It's not that others are scared! Even if we are, we're not so stupid, how can we not see it?" The problem is, we've seen it with our own eyes, ...... "As soon as he finished speaking, he couldn't help shrinking back, shivering, and looking nervously to the side.

Xiucai was also stunned: "You really saw it?"

"Absolutely not!"

Another young man also said, "Even though it was a little dark that day, I saw it, and it was clearly a ghost—" He said with a look of fear on his face, and even his voice changed.

Xiucai looked at the old hunter. The old hunter was quite calm, although he was silent and didn't say anything, but the ups and downs of his expression could be vaguely seen by Xiucai.

"There really is a ghost, what does that ghost look like, isn't it terrifying, and eats people?" asked Xiucai, looking at the old hunter. He wasn't scared at all, as if it were just a funny thing.

The old hunter didn't seem to care about anything at this time: "Little Lao'er has lived for such an age, and I have never seen such a look. Whether it eats people, I don't know. As soon as they saw it, the little old man was so frightened that he ran away with his hands and feet together, how fast and as fast as he could, and he only hated that his father and mother didn't have two more legs-"

"That ghost, with its body on its back, is probably this tall. Wearing a black cloak, covering his head and face, only showing his two eyes...... "The old man has seen a lot, if the two young people are exaggerating, then this old man's words should not be wrong." Xiucai didn't have to be a little suspicious now, did he really bump into him? He frowned and pondered: "You said that ghost didn't show his face?"

"No, that body is like a pile of bones. Thin like that, without a bit of flesh, he just stood there hunched over. At first, we thought it was a person and wanted to go up and say hello, but as soon as he turned to that side, my mother......"

Another young hunter also exclaimed, "Where is a man, it is clearly a skeleton." ”

"And its eyes, when we see them, we are frightened. ”

"Those eyes glowed red like ghostly fire. ”

"In my opinion, that's a terrible ghost. We've never seen anything so powerful, and when I saw it, I was so frightened that I turned around and ran, and I even peed in my crotch. ”

"You're just, I'm even pooping out—"

"That's useless to you. ”

"You're useless, as soon as you see it, you fucking run away. If you saw it open its face and laugh there, you might run wilder than I was. ”

"Who says I didn't see it? Its laughter was worse than the grinding of the teeth, hard, not scary. As soon as I turned around, it was gone. The laughter came so close that I saw it coming at us, oh my god. We were so frightened that we crawled and fled. If you don't run fast, I'm afraid that you will already ......" The two of you talked about the experience of that day one by one, and now they are still apprehensive and frightened.

Xiucai looked at them and was silent for a while. The old hunter also said at this time: "Since that experience, we have rested for a few days, and we dare not set foot in this forest again. Later, when we saw other people coming in and out, and we didn't see anything wrong, we were bold again, and we got together, and then we came in during the day. Thankfully, I didn't run into that ...... again However......" he seemed to be very taboo about the "ghost" he saw, and avoided saying it.

Xiucai: "But what?"

"But it's gone, but I often hear people laughing in the forest......"

Xiucai became even more strange now, and asked, "Someone is laughing?"

As soon as they told this bizarre thing, the two young hunters could not stop talking, and they were already gushing, and one of them said, "Someone is laughing, and it is laughing very well." ”

Another said: "And it's a woman, that hearty voice like a yellow warbler, it sounds like a soft heart." ”

Xiucai was even more strange, he touched his chin and said, "It's still a woman laughing?"

"That's not it, at first we thought it was a young girl chopping wood and frolicking, and we didn't care. But the laughter rang out from time to time, and we couldn't help but be curious, so we looked around and looked around......"

But after looking for a long time, I only heard his voice, but I didn't see his person. ”

"And for a few days, I have encountered it, and the voice is laughing all around us. If it's a woman who smiles in front of my eyes, then who doesn't want to, but it's strange, people who can't see her. ”

"You can't see people's laughter, and no matter how sweet and beautiful the smile is, we don't have the heart to listen to it. Later, as soon as we heard that voice, we were inexplicably afraid, and we didn't even dare to hunt, and finally ran for our lives. ”

"You said that the voice that laughed so beautifully, how could it be a beautiful sister's laughter! But it made people get goosebumps when they heard it, and they felt more and more ugly than a ghost crying, which made people panic. ”

"If you want me to say, maybe she's really a young lady, teasing us. But in this big forest, it shouldn't be such a joke!"

"You're just being deluded, maybe it's a fox goblin, hooking your soul and luring you into a trap. ”

"We don't know if it's or not, and we haven't seen it. But inexplicably I listened to it a lot, and it was really scary. ”

Xiucai suddenly said: "No, it's obviously very good!"

The two young hunters said, "What's the matter, little brother, have you heard of it too?"

"No, now listen carefully, is it smiling like this - it seems to be very crisp, and it is very beautiful. I think a lot of people will like this sound. ”

The faces of the two young men changed suddenly, and they hurriedly stopped talking, and pricked up their ears: a string of clear and hearty laughter was coming from the depths of the forest.

The old hunter struggled to his feet, holding on to a stick, and nearly fell. He stared wide-eyed at the forest, his expression solemn, as he eagerly beckoned them to pack their things. The two young men waited for him to speak, and for a while they were in a hurry, picked up their prey indiscriminately, took their knives and forks, and ran away. They didn't care about the barbecue on the fire, and they didn't even say hello to Xiucai.

The old hunter had just run a few steps, but when he turned around, he saw that Xiucai was still sitting there, so he shouted, "Little brother don't run quickly, the goblin is about to come out!"

That Xiucai seemed to be stupid there, seeing them embarrassed like that, he actually pointed over there and asked, "Aren't we going over and have a look?"

The old hunter stomped his feet and said, "Look at the hair, run, the monster is coming to eat people!"

Xiucai seemed to have suddenly woken up at this time and jumped up hurriedly. He ran to the other side under the tree to lead the horse, probably because he was nervous, and he didn't pull the reins of the horse a few times.

The woman's laughter rang in her ears. The laughter like silver bells was obviously very good, but they were like a plague god and fled for their lives in a hurry. They were all afraid of being like that, and Xiucai certainly had no reason not to follow the fear. It doesn't matter what is wrong or wrong, it is absolutely right to run away with everyone first.

A few people ran along the river, onto the road, across the drawbridge, and in the direction of the main road, straight to the small valley by the forest. All of them were out of breath for a while.

"I met the demon girl again and again, and next time I didn't dare to come, I would rather eat yam every day than be scared by this. ”

"Yes, Uncle Seven, it's really unlucky, did you say that we killed too much, those beasts came to take revenge, deliberately scaring us and not letting us hunt!"

"Nonsense, if you kill a living being, you will also be punished, then the people in the world will have already finished their retribution. The old hunter looked back, and the back was wide open, and there was nothing to chase after him. Both young men sat on the ground, panting.

The old hunter held on to a wooden branch and also picked up a stone by the side of the road and sat down. Just as he was about to take a breath, he suddenly let out a "ahhhhh
