Tang Kai leaned against the trunk of the tree and covered his mouth and smiled, smiling and smiling, his expression suddenly changed. He could easily sense the fear in my pupils through the suffocating air in the woods, and his body shook violently, and he ran towards me.

A few people other than Solang were a little confused, so they raised their earthen guns and looked at this side vigilantly, thinking that there was a wild beast attacking. But when they realized that I was still safe, they let go of their weapons one by one.

I don't know if Tang Kai's appearance gave me a little more courage, I trembled and got up from the snow, took out a flashlight and looked at the bleeding hole in the trunk, the black plasma has condensed in the vicissitudes of life, like an amber full of evil energy, shining a strange color in the light of the flashlight.

I took my steady, stepped out of my lead-heavy calves, and slowly approached the strange trunk step by step, my hand unconsciously reaching for the place where I had just scratched the mark.

"Smack!" Tang Kai patted my arm. I took a step back in fright and turned my head to look at him steadily.

"Don't move!" The voice was low, but it revealed an imminent momentum.

He grabbed me and took a few steps back, then cautiously used the beam of the flashlight to follow the bloodstains upward. My heart started to beat wildly, and my palms were sweating slightly. My subconscious mind reminded me that something in the huge canopy was pressing down on me like a black cloud.

Tang Kai's flashlight rays on the main trunk of the tree, shining on a white miserable and strangely shaped thing. The light stopped moving, and I didn't react at first, and took a small step forward, until the image of the thing in my eyes became clearer, and as I kept getting closer, my heart beat almost half a beat.

It's a man's hand.

I don't know if I was scared to the extreme or if I forgot how to react. I didn't scream, I just felt something blocked in my throat, and the mucous membranes oozed a sweet and fishy taste, which made people thirsty and uncomfortable.

Tang Kai's face pulled, and then the light shone around, and a complete human body was slowly revealed in the dense foliage and snow. We gasped at the same time. But no one is sure if the person in front of him is still alive. The human body is dressed in traditional Tibetan costume. The long braided hair hung messily on the branches, but it looked lifeless from the cold.

"Solang!" Tang Kai shouted ten meters away, and the voice was so loud that it felt like he was full of echoes all around.

Solang realized that something was wrong. trotted to us. When I saw the human body, his calm and stern face showed a rare horror, and I stood behind him and heard him swallow.

The man who knocked on the door expertly climbed up the giant cypress. I couldn't help but frown as I approached the corpse. He first stepped forward and leaned in, then threw the body from the branch.

"Bang". The corpse fell at our feet, raising fine snow foam. This sound almost confirmed my and I's guesses, and pronounced the death sentence of the man hanging from the tree.

She is Mai Duo, and she was still herding sheep yesterday morning. Now it's lying stiff at our feet. The body is almost still in the strange posture of twisting limbs hanging from the tree.

The young man glanced at it hurriedly, then ran to another tree and retched, the expression on his face extremely distorted. Another man walked up to Mai Duo. Pointing to her abdomen, he said a word. Although I didn't understand it, I could still understand the simple Tibetan word "eagle".

I slowly approached him. Observing the corpse in front of him from his perspective. Indeed, Mai Duo has many holes in his abdomen, which look like traces of being pecked by birds. But the mouth is very smooth and smooth, not like a torn wound, which should have nothing to do with vultures. The blood on the trunk must have come out of these holes, and it flowed down the hole I had made. At this moment, Mai Duo's face was bloodless, as white as a piece of paper.

The people here have always been in awe of heavenly burial, and if Mai Duo was pecked by vultures after death, this might be comforting to these people. But the truth is cruel after all, and Solang also noticed the shape of Mai Duo's wound and shook his head.

"Hey." Tang Kai pulled me aside and whispered, "Aren't you afraid? ”

"Afraid of what?"

"Corpses." Tang Kai was a little surprised.

Only then did I realize that I had just reacted a little too calmly to the corpse of Mai Duo. Although I have seen many more terrifying and hideous pictures than this one before, my inner capacity has increased more or less, and I am very glad to see such a scene, especially the corpse in this cold environment.

But in Tang Kai's eyes, I am still the timid and fearful Wu Chao, he can't accept that I suddenly become extremely strong, so it won't be me. I could tell in his eyes that he was starting to be a little suspicious, even panicking. For any person, a corpse is almost a true manifestation of a nightmare, how can a girl's receptivity be so high?

"Are you hiding something from me?"

I suddenly regretted what I had done. If he had just been able to cover up the past and do some basic fear expression, maybe Tang Kai would not have asked such a question. Now whether I say it or not, he has become suspicious of me, and if he knows about the Dream Eater, he may send me directly to a mental hospital.

"Ahem...... I ......"

I coughed in embarrassment, and the moment my lips opened, a scream suddenly sounded in my ears. Several of us were stunned by the scream, and we all looked at the source of the sound.

The young man who was retching on the side just now fell to the ground, his body convulsed and retreated backwards, the torch in his hand fell into the snow slag, shook a few times and went out with a bang. As if he was dodging something terrifying, he slammed backwards.

Without saying a word, we ran over and helped him up. He said to us in extremely unfluent Chinese: "People! …… Dead person! Mince! ……”

Tang Kai and I glanced at each other, basically understood the current situation in front of us, and looked at the canopy of the tree with a flashlight, on which there was a person dressed in Tibetan clothes, and there was not much muscle tissue left on his body, revealing Sensen's white bones that shone with cold light.

I went from being calm just now to panicking. Tang Kai saw that my shoulders began to tremble slightly, and stood in front of me to block the view in front of me. This panic is not a play out by me, but a real reaction.

Solang said that this year, the local cold air came very quickly, and it entered zero very early. Coupled with the continuous falling goose feather snow, the whole pinch was almost frozen. In such a state, it is almost difficult for the corpse to start decomposing. In addition, Solang said that the time for these giant cypresses to grow in this wasteland is very short, and I suddenly felt countless pairs of eyes staring at me around my body, making my scalp tingle, and every pore was slightly oozing sweat.

This is so counterintuitive. Unless......

Unless there's something going on here......

I was startled by my own thoughts, and by the time I realized that someone had already pulled the body from the tree and placed it beside Mai Duo.

Judging from the clothes and the outline of his face, this person should be a man, but Solang said that he was not Qu Cuo, because Qu Cuo had been bitten by a wild beast, and his bones were incomplete, but the half-human and half-bone corpse lying in front of him had a complete jaw.

Aside from Qu Cuo, has anyone else been poisoned here? Solang's expression was not quite right, as if he had something on his mind that he hadn't said. Tang Kai and several others also noticed this, and the knocker was the first to speak, asking Solang what was going on. Solang hesitated, and in the face of several people's aggressive questioning, he had no choice but to say it one by one.

In fact, there are far more than two missing people in the village. Every once in a while, someone gets lost. But many of the people who went missing, someone had testified that they had seen them in the neighborhood two days later, so Solang thought that they had returned, but he didn't want to return home.

The number of these missing persons has reached alarming levels. As the backbone of the village, Solang didn't want to let Depin fall into panic, but this had a bad effect, and more people went missing.

After listening to Solang's words, the rest of the people lowered their heads and remained silent, and after a while, everyone suddenly thought of something, and they all picked up flashlights and torches, and began to shine little by little on the trees, trying to find the remaining ones. I picked up the flashlight I had lost from the ground and started to help find it.

After a while, I heard someone exclaiming, it should be another body found, also hanging on a branch, also dead for a while, also drained of blood. One by one, they lay on the ground, and in a moment they became a whole row of a dozen people.

I looked at the dead men, some with stiff arms raised forward, eyes staring blank and fearful, some softened and gradually revealing the dry bones behind the muscles, and some ossified between them, unable to see a single human form. This made me suddenly feel that the scene in front of me was a bit like a nine-phase diagram.

Red, pink and white bones, impermanence in the world.

However, this impermanence is not caused by nature after all, someone must be doing something behind the scenes to make Yiqiē become what it is now.

I thought about these things, and before I knew it, I had gone deeper and deeper into the dense forest, and when the light of the flashlight shone upward, it was not the scene in front of me that responded to me, but the reflection.

I was a little confused and stopped. The tree in front of me was still twisting in front of me in a strange form, just like the others.

When I lifted the flashlight up again, a bright orange pierced my eyes. (To be continued.) )
