Chapter 002: Old Linzi

Lao Chai has also been in the village for nearly 20 years, and he still has some knowledge of the origin of Lao Li's disabled right leg.

As for the old forest, Lao Chai knows even less. Although I have lived with the local villagers for nearly 20 years, among these villagers, from the elderly to the yellow-haired children, they rarely mention the old forest, as if they are deliberately avoiding something.

Therefore, even if Lao Chai lives not far from the old forest, he is very unfamiliar with this mysterious forest, and he has only heard some legends about the old forest. It probably means that this old forest is very weird, very evil. Very few people have gone in alone, and there is that Lao Li had an accident in the old forest when he was young, and that leg was injured in this forest.

This makes people even more convinced of one thing, that is, the old forest is a forbidden place. But what is so terrible about the old forest, everyone can't say that he is ugly, but I heard the older generation say that the old forest is a little evil, and there are ghosts wandering, so don't go in easily.

Despite this, some young people in the village do not think so, and some young and vigorous 'newborn calves' who want to show their "ability" in front of the villagers plan to break into the old forest shrouded in mystery.

This includes Lao Li when he was young....... Although the people in the village advised him not to take this risk. After all, it is not clear how big this forest is, what beasts and dangers are in it, and it is too dangerous to enter it so recklessly.

However, at that time, Lao Li, who had been carried away by the spirit of youth and fearlessness, couldn't listen to a word at all, and after everyone found out that the persuasion was fruitless, they didn't say anything more, after all, he was still too young at that time, and the old people in the village felt that he was just saying it, and he would not really take this risk. Lao Li's parents died when he was young, and he basically grew up eating 100 family meals, so the old people in the village treated him like their own children and knew his character.

But what I didn't expect was that at ten o'clock in the evening, a man of the same age as Lao Li hurriedly ran into the patriarch's house, saying that Lao Li had been shouting to enter the old forest in the morning, but there was no one to see until now, and he searched everywhere, but he couldn't find it.

Now everyone began to panic, but they didn't expect Lao Li to dare to break into this forbidden area of Lao Linzi.

When night fell, Lao Li still didn't come back, some adult men in the village decided to look for him near the forest, and one of them, a little older middle-aged man, seemed to be cheering up the big guy and said something, "We have more than a dozen people, even if there are really any wild beasts, he can't eat and walk around......"

So, a small group of people with torches and 'weapons' walked in the direction of the old forest. Under a boulder not far from the exit of Lao Linzi, Lao Li was found who had already fainted......

When he woke up, it was already three days later, and it is said that he woke up with a sluggish expression for many days, and it took nearly half a year before he slowly recovered.

Lao Li's leg was lame at that time, and later people asked Lao Li what happened in the old forest that day, Lao Li always just shook his head and repeated the sentence "It's terrible...."

...... Although in Lao Li's mouth, he didn't get him in the old forest, what terrible things happened. But there is one thing that everyone knows tacitly, that is, Lao Linzi is indeed extraordinary, very weird.......

Then come back, let's talk about Lao Chai, which is like a summer thunderstorm, not only mentioning Lao Linzi, but also threatening to go in. This had to make everyone present drop their jaws, especially Lao Litou, who was particularly shocked. It was as if the scenes that happened back then appeared in front of me again......

"I said Lao Chai, that old forest... But it's a very evil place, that's ...... Forbidden land, you won't have heard of this," Lao Li froze, frowned, and said slowly.

"Hehe....the old Lin Zi is weird, I've heard of this, and I'm not stupid... Could it be that I know that there is danger in the old forest, and I can't break in alone?" Lao Chai grinned.

"Then what are you..."Lao Li asked with some puzzlement.

"I said I was going to Lao Linzi, but I didn't say I was going to go in..."Lao Chai glanced at everyone and found that everyone seemed to be more and more confused the more they listened.

"Here's the thing, a few days ago I finished chopping firewood, I saw that the time was still early to go out to hang out, walking and walking inadvertently walked near the old forest, and found that the trees near the old forest are extraordinarily luxuriant, luxuriant, some are even better than the hundred-year-old trees in the deep mountains, hehe, I don't look at the itch in my heart, if those woods are cut back, made into furniture or something, they will definitely be sold for a good price"

Although Lao Chai said so, in fact, there was another reason why he really made up his mind to go to Lao Linzi. He knew that he couldn't say it, and if he did, he would definitely not be able to go......

When several old people heard him say this, their expressions relaxed slightly. Although it is near the old forest, I don't go in, but ...... After all, it's still the neighborhood of the old forest. When I got involved with Lao Linzi, I still had an indescribable strange feeling in my heart.

"Lao Chai, having said that, but... After all, it's still the range of the old forest, if you want me to say, you're okay or don't run there"

"Well, I wrote it down, don't worry, Uncle Li, I'm measured," Lao Chai replied very sincerely.

In fact, everyone is still more at ease with Lao Chai in their hearts, because after so many years of getting along, everyone is already very clear about Lao Chai's personality. knew that he was steady and measured, so no one said anything more, so he simply gave a few words.

Lao Chai continued to walk in the direction of Lao Linzi. After walking for about half an hour, an extremely lush forest came into view.

The strange feeling last time rose from the bottom of his heart again, to be honest, Lao Chai also muttered in his heart, he couldn't figure out why he had to take this risk, was it really because of those good wood that grew luxuriantly? It seems that it is not, in short, it feels strange, but one thing is certain, that is, a voice from the depths of his soul, he must come to this legendary old forest......

From a distance, the forest is dense and endless. But no one knows how big the old forest is, because no one has ever crossed it.

This forest, just from the outside, gives people a sense of mystery and oppression, but more of a sense of awe from the bottom of the heart. If you get closer, you can see more clearly, standing in front of you are towering trees that can almost be inserted into the clouds, and the big trees are intertwined with branches and leaves......

The whole forest looks much more lush than the other forests, and the color of the forest is that the forest looks very dark, and the leaves look very dark green. It's like being drenched in a rain of ink. In addition to this, another thing that is clearly different from other forests is its quiet, surprisingly silent.

This forest is so quiet, surprisingly quiet, there is no sound coming from the big forest, there is no bird cry, let alone a beast roar..... Lao Chai can even hear his own heartbeat (maybe because of nervousness).

The dark green foliage sway.....ed gently in the breeze, like a huge dark green cloud, falling from the sky and smashing on the land, looking so out of place with everything around it. It casts a veil of mystery over this forest. From the bottom of my heart, people have a sense of awe and surrender to this forest, and even a sense of fear......

Lao Chai's legs took a few steps forward unconsciously, looking at the big forest in front of him, and that strange feeling came to his heart again, and it was even stronger than before.

It's an amazing feeling...... I felt as if I had been to this forest before, and this strange thought flashed through my mind. Lao Chai himself wondered why he had such a strange idea. I even thought it was a little funny, why did I suddenly have such a grotesque idea. Lao Chai shook his head vigorously, took a deep breath, sobered himself up, and then walked towards the few big trees that he had been in love with for a long time.

The strange thought just now had been replaced by a sense of joy of harvest, and a greedy smile unconsciously appeared on his cheeks. Lao Chai walked to one of the very tall and straight trees, smiled and circled around the tree twice, and patted the trunk with his palm from time to time.

Every time I touched the trunk, it was as if I was touching a pile of gold coins.

"Not bad, well, that's good... Good wood......" Lao Chai nodded incessantly, muttering with a smile.

At this time, Lao Chai's heart was already happy, and the inexplicable thoughts in his heart just now had already been thrown out of the clouds. Lao Chai couldn't wait to take the axe off his waist and round his arm. I just wanted to go down, but suddenly, I felt a chill coming from my back, and then it hit my whole body, and it was like a pair of extremely cold eyes behind me, staring at me, which was creepy.

But this kind of thought was vetoed by himself in an instant, and behind him was....Old Linzi, how could there be a 'person'? Thinking of this, a trace of uneasiness welled up from the bottom of my heart.

Lao Chai began to become nervous, and some evil legends about Lao Linzi all came to mind in an instant.

Lao Chai slowly put down his raised arm, took a few deep breaths quickly, and then quickly turned around with the maximum speed he could reach. And hold the axe across your chest as a defensive stance. Lao Chai didn't even notice it at this time, and cold sweat the size of a bean grain had already oozed from his forehead due to excessive tension.

Lao Chai's eyes quickly scanned the surroundings vigilantly, everything around him was as before, and he didn't find anything abnormal, and after his eyes carefully swept every inch of land, he made sure that he didn't find anything abnormal, and Lao Chai slowly relaxed the tense nerves.

"It must be that what Lao Li Tou said just now was too evil, and he scared himself. Besides, even if there is something evil in this forest, it is none of my business, and I didn't go in to cut down trees, but cut trees outside, you don't care," Lao Chai muttered in a low voice as if he was comforting himself.

But that feeling just now was too strong, too ..... real.

Lao Chai settled down, and after his eyes swept over a few times to make sure that he was fine, just as Lao Chai was about to turn around and continue to complete his fortune time, that feeling... The creepy chill instantly welled up from the bottom of my heart, and it was much stronger than the first feeling.

Just when his eyes swept over the forest, behind a bush, Lao Chai felt as if he had seen something, something that should not appear in the ordinary forest, Lao Chai couldn't believe what he had just seen, and countless reasons surged in his heart to explain what he had just seen, but none of them could be explained.

Lao Chai had countless thoughts flashing in his heart at this time, in order to find out what was going on to reassure himself, Lao Chai didn't know where he got the courage, and decided to take a closer look at what it was. Lao Chai slowly turned his head back, and looked at the forest not far away without blinking. The axe in his hand unconsciously grasped tighter, the slightest chill slowly surged to the limbs, the hairs on his body stood up, and suddenly, Lao Chai's eyes widened angrily, in addition to incredible, there was more ...

At this time, Lao Chai was completely stunned by the scene he saw with his own eyes......
