One hundred and fifteen

Time has passed too long, Xu You can't remember the words of Xiaohuan last time, only vaguely remembering that it seems that this place is inaccessible, and once he trespasses without permission, he can no longer find it. Xu You said that he was a little suspicious, the mountain behind Lingshan is not big after all, but even if he turns over this back mountain, it is not difficult, how can he not find a way back? What's more, there are always traces of the carriage coming all the way, and Xu You even believes that he can find it without waiting for someone to come to the rescue.

She still had some snacks, and she did not rush back at once, but first went back to the carriage and rummaged for a while, found some food, cut a piece of cloth with a dagger and wrapped them up, and then walked back along the wheel prints on the road.

The traces on the road are very clear, in addition to the wheel prints, there are many traces of being run over by the carriage, even just an ordinary person can find the way out of the forest, not to mention, she has also studied trace science - if you can't find it like this, it will be too embarrassing.

Therefore, in the first half hour, Xu You's mood was relatively relaxed, even if he occasionally saw all kinds of shadows flashing in the forest, and even strange and indescribable screams and whimpering sounds in his ears, Xu You could try his best to suppress all the panic and timidity in his heart.

However, the more she walked, the more she felt that something was wrong, although the forest was full of towering trees, but these trees were too similar, and even the colorful mushrooms under the trees and the vines that lingered around the trees and spread into the air seemed to be seen more than once...... About half an hour later, Xu You saw her carriage again.

The carriage was still the same as when she left, but the scenery around her had changed again, although there were still towering trees, and there was even a thick layer of green moss growing on the trees, but Xu You clearly remembered that the appearance of those plants had changed, the mushrooms under the trees were gone, the small shrubs had changed their shape, and there was no trace of vehicles running over the carriage, as if they had suddenly fallen from the sky for no reason, which was simply too strange.

Is it a hallucination?

Xu You's heart sank, and he immediately realized that this ghost forest was unusual. No wonder Xiaohuan was so nervous and cautious when he mentioned the ghost forest, there was really some truth here.

There was wind in the woods, blowing in through the dense woods, cool and cold, so that Xu Yu couldn't help but shiver, she noticed that the leaves of the small bushes next to the carriage did not move with the wind, her heart moved slightly, and she reached out to touch it—but she touched the real thing, the leaves were thick and moist, and she could even feel the thin veins on the leaves.

Are these leaves real? Or, in fact, even her sense of touch was confused?

Xu You's heart is becoming more and more bottomless, she no longer has the confidence she had before, and she has no confidence in walking out of this ghost forest. Maybe she should have stayed at a distance and waited for someone to come to her rescue, or she should wait until the past few days have passed, when the woods are back to normal.

With that in mind, she climbed back into the carriage and searched and sorted out the contents of the carriage once more. This carriage was newly made a few years ago, and it was specially learned from the style of the carriage of the Ruiwang Mansion, the car was very spacious, the walls of the carriage were covered with a thick layer of flannel, and the walls of the back of the carriage were full of small cabinets and small drawers, in which various things were placed in case of emergency.

There was not much food in the car, only two kinds of pastries, a bag of melon seeds, two bags of candied fruit and a few fresh fruits, in addition to a pot of tea, she didn't drink much on the way here, and most of the rest was in the pot.

In addition to these things, there were also small quilts to keep out the cold and some scattered gadgets, and to Xu You's surprise, there was a fire fold in the carriage.

Think of it as survival training! Xu Yu tried to be optimistic.

Outside the ghost forest, Ah Chu was so anxious that tears were about to fall, and he wanted to rush in, but he was always desperately hugged by the guards of the Meng Mansion, Ah Chu was so anxious that he stomped his feet and shouted angrily: "You guys...... You refuse to save Sister Xiaoxue, and you won't even let me in, is it possible, do you want to watch my sister fall inside? ”

The guards of the Meng Mansion were also helpless, and explained helplessly: "Young Master, it's really not that we don't save people. It's really too scary to see this ghost forest, not to mention a few of us, even if we come a few times more, we still can't find it trapped in it. It's better to stay outside the forest first, and after a few days, when the fog in the forest clears, even if we don't need to look for it, the eldest lady can find it herself. ”

"In a few days! You say it easily! Ah Chu jumped angrily, "Let my sister spend a few days alone in the forest, what beasts in the forest don't say, what do you want her to do?" ”

The guards were silent. On the way they chased over, they had already found Xiaohuan and Xiaoyu, although the two of them were not lightly injured, but they were still alive and could still speak. Everyone learned what happened from them, in their opinion, even if Xu You entered the ghost forest, it was much better than falling into the hands of Jiang Lian'an, as long as she could escape this catastrophe, there would still be no twists and turns in the marriage with King Rui's mansion, at most it would be postponed, but if she was taken away by Jiang Lian'an, how could there be any innocence, this was even more terrible than losing her life.

Ah Chu was prevented from entering the forest by the guards, so he was so anxious that he spun around in place, and from time to time he glanced into the forest a few times, and the fog in the forest steamed up little by little, and after a while, the entire mountain forest was shrouded in a thick white fog, and he couldn't see any movement in the forest at all.

There was a rapid sound of horses' hooves in the distance of the path, and Ah Chu raised his head as if he had seen a life-saving straw and rushed forward, shouting aggrievedly at Zhao Cheng on horseback with a loud voice, "Brother Xiaoshun, Brother Xiaoshun, you are here!" My sister ...... My sister she ...... She was stuck in the woods and couldn't get out. They wouldn't let me in to find her. ”

Zhao Chengjin got off the horse with a solemn face, rushed to the forest in three steps and two steps, and asked with a frown, "What happened?" The person who went to report the news couldn't say clearly, how could Xiaoxue rush to the ghost forest when she was so good? ”

Ah Chu quickly told him what had happened, and then he was so guilty that he burst into tears, "It's all my fault, if I didn't have to ride any horse, I would be with Sister Xiaoxue." No matter what happens, I'll be by her side. But now ......"

Hearing that someone did it on purpose, Zhao Chengjin's face suddenly sank, but he didn't have time to deal with this matter at this time, and after snorting coldly, he immediately focused his attention on the dense forest.

"Lord Shizi, this forest is strange, you can't just enter it." Seeing that Zhao Chengjin's face was wrong, the guards of King Rui's Mansion hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded, "Do you remember Uncle Yunyang?" When he was young, he also strayed into the ghost forest, in order to save him, Mrs. Yunyang Bo begged her mother's Jinyuan Hou Mansion, and the Hou Mansion sent nearly 100 people into the mountain, but not only did not find anyone, but instead lost more than a dozen young and strong family members in the forest, until three days later, the formation in the forest dispersed, and Yun Yang Bo found it himself. ”

Zhao Chengjin glanced at him and said coldly: "Are you asking me to do nothing, just stay here and wait for her to come out by herself?" ”

"Lord Shizi," the guard was bold, even if he was looked at by Zhao Chengjin like this, he still refused to flinch, "Even if you enter the forest, you can't help, why bother to do more, but fold one more person in." In case something happens, how will the subordinates explain to the prince and the princess. ”

Zhao Cheng frowned and waved his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Don't say it again!" He thought for a while, and then said: "You take my post to Yunyang Bo's Mansion, find Yunyang Bo to ask carefully about the abnormalities in this forest, and ask Xiaozhu to go back to the palace to bring the teapot and Xiaolu over." He didn't believe it, and even when a man led a carriage into the woods, he would leave no trace.

Seeing that he was resolute, and knowing that he could not convince him, the guard shook his head helplessly, and finally answered in a low voice, and turned and got on his horse.

Half an hour later, the teapot and Xiao Lu arrived, seeing everyone's solemn faces, even Xiao Lu, who had always been noisy, didn't dare to say anything, standing on Zhao Chengjin's shoulder and carefully looking at everyone's expressions. Zhao Chengjin didn't care whether the two of them could understand his words or not, and told them about Xu You's intrusion into the ghost forest, Xiao Lu immediately became nervous, his little eyes rolled slightly, and he flapped his wings uneasily. The teapot was about to drill into the forest a little uncontrollably, and was held by Zhao Chengjing.

"Don't worry," Zhao Chengjin said softly while stroking the hair on the back of the teapot: "Wait a little longer, and we'll go in together in a while." ”

"I'll also go with Brother Xiaoshun." Ah Chu sat on the ground and leaned in front of Zhao Chengjin and said.

Zhao Chengjin refused, shook his head and said: "No, you are powerless, and you can't help when you enter the forest, but you want me to be distracted to take care of you." ”

"But-" Ah Chu was anxious, his eyes were red, but he couldn't think of any excuse for a while.

"Your sister won't let you in."

Ah Chu sniffed and stopped talking, tears swirled in his eyes, but in the end, he still didn't fall, he suddenly grabbed Zhao Chengjin's hand hard, low, as if he had exhausted all his strength, and said: "Brother Xiaoshun must save my sister." ”

Before dark, the guards of the Rui Wang's Mansion finally returned, not only bringing a message from Yun Yangbo, but also a middle-aged guard who had entered the forest back then.

The middle-aged guard didn't talk much, and when he saw Zhao Chengjin's face, he just saluted hard, and then began to talk about the situation in the forest, "...... I don't know if it's poisonous in the fog or something else, but when you enter the forest, you will hallucinate, and what you see is actually fake. If the mind is peaceful, then the illusion is not terrible, but if there are distracting thoughts in the heart, the more you are afraid of something, the more something will come. The colleagues who went into the forest together back then, the few who died, □□ out of ten, were scared to death by themselves......"

After the middle-aged guards finished telling them one by one, Zhao Chengjin picked a few people from the guards, and said, "Everyone listened carefully just now?" Don't panic when you enter the forest, the more panicked you are, the more terrible it becomes, and always remember that what you see is fake......"

The guards all responded in unison.

…………

Although he knew that most of the surrounding scenery was fake, according to common sense, the fallen leaves on the ground were always real, so Xu You picked a place where the fallen leaves were particularly thick, and found some branches in the surroundings to build a fire.

As the sky grew darker, the forest became more and more terrifying, as if a sleeping beast was waking up little by little. There were all kinds of sounds in the woods, and I couldn't tell what kind of animal was calling, one moment like a baby's cry, and then suddenly disappeared, as if someone had suddenly pinched their throats, and people were panicked when they heard it.

However, if what you see is fake, is what you hear also false? Thinking about it like this, Xu You felt that it didn't seem to be so terrible anymore.

All animals are afraid of fire, as long as they guard this fire, it shouldn't be too much of a problem to survive this night, Xu Yu tightened the quilt on his body, thinking to himself. But as soon as her thoughts flashed, something suddenly flashed above her head, pressing the branches of the tree to tremble, making a "popping" sound, and two leaves floated down and landed in front of Xu You.

What is it? Xu You's heart immediately clenched, and he clenched his dagger and looked nervously at the tree.

Something squatted silently between the dark branches and leaves, Xu You held her breath, a heart was about to jump out, she held back the curiosity in her heart, and sat motionlessly, the jumping firelight made her face flicker, and a pair of eyes were frighteningly bright.

It was silent for a long time, as if it was holding onto it, Xu Yu didn't move, and that thing didn't move.

Could that be true? Xu You thought to himself, is it a snake or a bird?

As he pondered, the thing seemed to move, and its steps were very light, slowly revealing a pair of eyes from among the dense branches and leaves, and the green eyes glowed in the darkness, making people shudder for no reason.

But Xu You's heart suddenly relaxed, he exhaled heavily, sat on the ground, tilted his head and beckoned to the wild cat hiding in the forest, "Come down!" ”

The wild cat didn't move, watching her vigilantly, and after a long time, it finally slowly jumped down a few steps, slowly, step by step, down the tree, and stopped about two meters away from Xu You.

Xu You didn't greet it again, sat on the ground and gnawed on the pear slowly, and before she finished eating a pear, she found that the wild cat had already walked up to her, staring at the pastry in her hand with two eyes, silent.

That's her ration for the next few days! Xu You looked at the swarthy wild cat in distress, and the wild cat finally looked up at her with condescension, squinted his eyes and opened his mouth to "meow", Xu You's heart suddenly softened.
