Chapter 58: Night Walk (2)
In this forest of the yellow mud slope, the arbor towers to the sky, the road leading to the fire dragon flat passes through the middle impartially, before the fifties of the last century, this forest is rampant with bandits, it is the bandit's nest, the first few times I went to school and my father Tian Hezhuang passed through this yellow mud slope, my father Tian Hezhuang once said, said that the most famous thing stationed in this forest is the "stick king car" and "Luo Qilou".
"Stick King Che" once led his little minions to rob Huolongping Town, which was not called Huolongping Town at that time, but the township office; The reason why "Luo Qilou" is called Luo Qilou is that when he took people to rob a small town called Limuba in Sichuan next to him, he grabbed the seventh floor by himself, and later it was called "Luo Qilou".
The "Bangke King Che" and "Luo Qilou" once turned this avenue leading to Huolongping into a "dead end", and no pedestrians dared to pass from here during the day or night. At that time, the government also suppressed bandits again and again, but every time they entered the forest of this yellow mud slope, they fired a few shots into the sky and left!
The bandits of this yellow mud slope are famous far and wide, and then I don't know what the reason is that "Bangke King Che" and "Luo Qilou" started to coax, maybe it is a mountain that does not allow "two tigers", after a fight, there are only a few little minions left! The remaining few minions were also killed by a group of people organized by Chenxi Dazhai into the forest, because the bandits in this yellow mud slope had robbed Chenxi Dazhai, and after robbing them, they didn't count, and they also set a fire, which almost burned down more than 100 wooden houses on stilts in Chenxi Dazhai!
The bandits of the Yellow Muddy Slope have since disappeared.
The bandits were extinct from this forest, but another legend arose that this forest was a place where a person passed by during the day, and someone would scatter mud and sand for no reason, and it was said that there were noses and eyes.
In this way, no one in the forest of Huangnipo passes by here at night!
In the 60s of the last century, this forest in Huangnipo was almost destroyed, and after that felling, it grew again after nearly half a century of "closing the mountain and cultivating forests"!
After that felling, the legend of "ghosts entering and leaving" in the Huangnipo forest was gradually forgotten, because, for several years, the felled places were bare, and even snakes, insects and ants could not hide, let alone any "ghosts"!
After Tian Limai walked into this forest, his speed slowed down because he was always uphill!
The night wind blows the leaves in the woods, and from time to time small animals pass by in the starlight, and sometimes it really scares Tian Limai.
Tian Limai picked up a few pebbles from the ground, and if there was any noise there, he threw one over and shouted a few loudly in his mouth!
Walking alone in this dark forest, there is no fear in my heart, it is absolutely fake, there are several times the sound of animals and unknown birds in the forest, so that his heart is tense for a while, and his legs and stomach feel a little sore, so Tian Limai threw the stones in his hand for a while, and sang loudly the song of "five-star red flag fluttering in the wind"!
Tian Limai threw stones and sang songs, but his feet did not stop, and in order to be able to get out of this forest as much as possible, even if it was uphill, his stride became larger!
However, it is not easy to get out of this forest, not to mention the uphill speed that cannot catch up, even if it takes two hours to walk during the day, not to mention that it is at night!
Tian Limai's flashlight can only be seen on the road, if there is any noise in the forest, it is useless to shine the flashlight in the past, because the darkness in the forest is too thick, and the flashlight light is not even ten meters away!
Tian Limai was already sweating profusely, since he walked into this forest, his emotions have been nervous, maybe people are born with a fear of the dark, he also has fear in his heart, but he is on guard against two things: one is to be careful not to let the flashlight run out too early, and to prevent the bulb from burning out; The second is not to take the wrong path, because there are mushroom pickers, dry firewood pickers in this forest, and poachers often come in, and there are forks in the road along the way, if you take the wrong road, not only can you not get out of this forest, but you will also lose your way and go farther and farther. Many people can't get out of the forest because they have taken the wrong path, so they have to sit down on a tree and wait for someone to look for them, and after being found, the person who takes the wrong path will take some reasons for it in order to cover up their stupid behavior of taking the wrong path, so the "ghost" is born, saying that he is led by the "ghost"! In fact, the "ghost" is in his heart!
There are no ghosts in this world, and some people are in extreme darkness, due to uncontrollable mental tension, and temporarily hallucinate in their minds, and call this hallucination "ghost", which is completely self-deception.
"Nest, nest, nest fire, nest fire, nest fire, nest fire—" In the night, only the cry of the owl was particularly intimidating, which made Tian Limai's mind have to have many associations!
Tian Limai used a flashlight to shine at the place where the owl made a call, and the distance of the light was so short that it was impossible to see where the owl was calling.
"Dad——,", "Uncle——,", "Second Uncle-", Tian Limai shouted loudly in the forest to the front!
His voice drifted through the forest, and was immediately drowned out by the darkness and the sound of the forest waves, and there was no echo around except the branches of the trees swaying in the night wind and the sound of the waves in the forest!
It seems that their father, Tian Hezhuang, has already passed through this forest!
In fact, Tian Limai's heart is contradictory, he wants his father Tian Hezhuang and them to go slower so that he can catch up, and he also wants his father Tian Hezhuang and them to go as fast as possible, because his sister Tian Liyu is in a coma, and the sooner his father Tian Hezhuang arrives at the hospital, the sooner his sister Tian Liyu will be treated, and the danger to his life will be much smaller!
"Hurry up, Dad, hurry up!" Tian Limai repeated it countless times in his heart.
As soon as Tian Limai thought of his sister Tian Liyu, he no longer had a sense of fear in his heart, and the pace under his feet accelerated, and he no longer cared if there was any sound in the forest on both sides of the road, nor did he care about what sounds animals or birds made, and his flashlight no longer shone left and right, but specifically on the road!
After walking for two hours, through the forest of Huangnipo, it was also a full two hours of climbing.
Tian Limai wanted to sit down and take a break, but he himself quickly denied the idea of sitting down and resting, "not afraid of slowness, only afraid of standing", he has been walking for more than four hours since he started from Shangsitai, but he still did not catch up with his father Tian Hezhuang and them, proving that his father Tian Hezhuang and their speed is not slow, but fast!
Tian Limai turned his head and looked into the basket on his back, the rice and steamed buns brought to his father Tian Hezhuang, the eldest uncle Tian Muzhuang and the second uncle Tian Shuizhuang were still inside, and it seemed that the father, uncle and second uncle did not go to every household to find anything to eat along the way, if they were delayed on the way, Tian Limai should have caught up long ago!
Tian Limai thought of this, and he quickly rushed to the front again!
After walking for about two hours, Tian Limai still didn't catch up with his father Tian Hezhuang and them, it seems that his father Tian Hezhuang and their speed is really fast!
Tian Limai found that it was already the early morning of the next day, and there was already a rooster crowing in the houses not far away, and the dog's barking sounded clearer, not like a dog in the night!
As I walked, the sky began to open up, and Dongfang first revealed the white belly of the fish, and slowly revealed the red nails!
Tian Limai felt a trace of tiredness and tiredness, especially a pair of eyes were astringent, the eyelids looked very heavy, how much he wanted to sit down and rest, but he couldn't, he knew that if he sat down, he would immediately fall asleep, because he had walked for a day and a night, and it was also quite laborious to dig mud and move the six pieces of wood in that small ravine, last night, in order to catch up with his father Tian Hezhuang, he almost trotted all the way, he was so tired!
Tian Limai slowed down obviously, he thought, he had been chasing his father Tian Hezhuang for eight or nine hours, and he hadn't caught up for eight or nine hours, so I was afraid it would be difficult to catch up, because he had already felt extremely tired!
Tian Limai walked and walked, he felt a little dizzy, he shook it, as if it didn't work, his head was still dizzy, it seemed that he was too tired.
The sky is already bright, there is curling smoke in the sky above the village, Tian Limai wants to find a family to sit down, rest for a while, beg for hot tea or hot water to drink, and then eat a steamed bun, add a little body, relieve fatigue before leaving.
Tian Limai walked to see where there was a suitable person, and he could go and sit down, as for how to know whether it was suitable or not, it all depended on feeling!
After walking for about half an hour, Tian Limai finally felt that he had found a suitable family, the house of that family was larger, the main house was four rows and three rooms, and the main house had two stacks and wings, and the house looked very magnificent.
Tian Limai approached the house, stood by the courtyard dam and asked, "Is there anyone?" ”
At this moment, a middle-aged woman who looked to be about forty years old came out of the room and asked, "Which one?" Can I help you? ”
Tian Limai glanced left and right, cautiously approached the eaves and said, "Auntie, I walked all night last night, and I felt very tired just now, and I want to go into the house to ask for hot water to drink, I don't know if my aunt agrees?" ”
The middle-aged woman saw that Tian Limai looked tired and looked like a student, so she said: "You offspring, our family didn't feed the dogs, don't be afraid, come into the house and sit!"
"Auntie, my name is Tian Limai, you can call me Tian Limai, my family lives in Shangsitai, which is a whole day away from here." Tian Limai said as he walked up the stairs.
