Everyone climbed to the top of the mountain along a somewhat rugged mountain road, and looked at it, which shocked everyone again: in front of them is a natural sunflower garden full of vitality, each flower is the most brilliant with its own strength, the whole garden is golden, as if to pave the earth with a layer of gold, and what is more amazing is that these sunflowers are grown in a small basin. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info That's when everyone knows that this is not actually the top of the mountain in the real sense, because of the dense trees, so you can't see it from the outside of the mountain, and only after you get to the "top of the mountain" do you know that this mountain seems to have been cut off by the waist, and the current "top of the mountain" is actually a basin that is not very flat.

"I think it's supposed to have been inhabited before." Ziguang speculated.

"Hmm." Others agreed.

Although talking to each other, everyone's eyes have been attracted by the sunflowers in front of them, everyone didn't expect that the small basin was actually full of dense sunflowers, and the sunflowers here are all tall and straight, in front of them, the four people are like eating a shrinking pill, because the height of these four people is only about half of the height of this sunflower. Standing in front of this masterpiece of nature, everyone felt their own insignificance, and their admiration for nature also arose.

While others were still immersed in the magic of nature, the keen breeze sensed a sense of danger, a mysterious sense of danger hidden behind this sunflower forest. "There's something wrong with this place, these sunflowers look beautiful, but they're actually a trick, and the danger is just behind," Qingfeng thought, "but no matter how dangerous it is, I'm going to go, and the more dangerous the place, the more likely it is to hide something useful." ”

"Let's not stop here, after all, there are no clues here, why don't we walk through this sunflower forest and look behind it, there may be something different there." Qingfeng said calmly and calmly, but his tone was very tough.

Others, under this invisible pressure, had no choice but to agree.

When you walk into this sunflower forest, you realize that it is not easy to walk through this place, and the dense and vigorous sunflowers above correspond to the dense and huge leaves below, these dense leaves occupy almost all the space between the flowers and the ground, and in order to pass through this garden, you must remove the leaves with small thorns. Seeing this, everyone had to stop and wrap each other's hands in a thick cloth to reduce the harm caused by the outside world. Not only that, but they also bothered the brilliant flowers above, the dense flowers obscured most of the light below, so that the dark yellow and dark green dissolved in the blurred vision, making people confused. Even so, God closed one door for several people and did not open a window for them, but closed another door, making it difficult for them to walk on the thick stems of the sunflowers, which from time to time blocked everyone's path. Walking in this garden is like walking in the turbulent water, and a few large logs fly from time to time. So, a few people didn't go far, and some people wanted to go back the way they came.

Qingfeng saw that some people wanted to give up, so he said half-threatening and half-encouraging, "Since we are here, we can't give up, there may be something we think of in front of us, and a good start is half the battle." ”

After hearing this, the others first looked at Qingfeng for a few seconds, and from her eyes, the three of them saw unreasonable stubbornness. There was no rebuttal, and the three of them continued to walk forward with a complaining face.

"This breeze is really going to toss people!" Du Lei complained in his heart as he walked.

Forging ahead does not mean that difficulties will subside, they will still come one after another. But under the "oppression" of the breeze and the persistence of faith, they have pushed away the intercepted leaves one by one, hit the "iron pillars" countless times, and have to fight against the sticky and dull light and fear. Everyone moved forward silently, but the tenacity in their hearts made several people fearless. In the end, God rewarded a few people who did not give up, and they finally passed through the sunflower forest and came to a "new world".

As soon as everyone came out of the forest, they didn't even breathe a mouthful, and they were frightened by the "strange scene" in front of them, and they even wondered if someone was playing with them.

In great contrast to the thriving sunflower forest just now, this desolate and barren grove permeated with a dark atmosphere is in front of you. However, the strange atmosphere did not make everyone too scared, what really scared everyone was the group of stone statues that echoed with the bleak forest, and the blue-gray stone statues that looked like people and inhuman stood upright on the ground, both majestic and gloomy. After a cursory look, these stone statues are about the same size as life-size, and they are also similar to people in all aspects, but unlike people, these stone statues have two obvious fangs on the side of their mouths, and standing here, it feels as if they are surrounded by living vampires. What's even more puzzling is that these stone statues are actually arranged in a neat and orderly manner, spread throughout the forest, and do not look like they were formed naturally. As soon as everyone arrived, they felt that they were already surrounded by surveillance eyes.

"Are these artificial or natural?" Bai Ling asked with palpitations after seeing it.

"I don't know, but it feels good, it's oozing." Saying that, Du Lei shuddered.

"Shall we go back?" Bai Ling wanted to retreat.

"No, we can't go back." Qingfeng immediately dispelled Bai Ling's thoughts, "We're all here, we can't give up halfway, maybe the colorful beads are in this group of stone statues." ”

Bai Ling can't think of any excuse to escape again, and if he says anything else, he will make others look down on him.

Ziguang smelled the smell of gunpowder quietly rising between his partners, so he came out and softened: "Let's continue to move forward, there may be treasures, but everyone must be careful." ”

Bai Ling and Du Lei reluctantly agreed.

But as soon as a few people stepped into this area, an inexplicable evil aura came to their faces as a greeting gift, which made people shudder, and they knew that this was trouble. When he was about to retreat, he found that there seemed to be a huge suction force in this area, which made people only move forward and not backward.

Several people subconsciously looked back out of fear, and the sunflower forest behind them just now had disappeared!

"Oh no, I really met a ghost." Du Lei's frightened mouth couldn't close.

But Qingfeng understands that God has forced her to a dead end, and she has to fight hard, "But there is no way back, we can only move forward." ”

The others really had no choice but to go on hard.

Everyone emboldened themselves in their hearts, telling themselves over and over again that it was okay, it was okay. Everyone tried to take their steps as lightly as possible, for fear of accidentally startling something terrible. But even if they are careful, they will inevitably rub against the ground when walking, and the fear makes everyone in a tense state of alertness all over their bodies, so that they can hear even the slightest sound clearly, and the sound reaches from their ears to every corner of their body, reminding them to tap and tap again.

In this way, with every step, everyone is a little more afraid; With each step, everyone feels one step closer to death. The words "walking on thin ice" have been echoing in everyone's minds. It was as if they were walking on a single-plank bridge at the moment, and there were countless beasts below.

I don't know what's going on, when everyone else was concentrating on walking, Du Lei suddenly burst out with a sentence: "I said, don't be afraid, the worst result is not death, anyway, everyone dies horizontally and vertically, and death is not terrible." ”

The inexplicable sentence made Bai Ling, who was tense all over, a little angry after hearing it, she originally hated people who love to be strong, and now Du Lei's sentence has no logic at all, so she retorted: "Why are you talking about this, aren't you afraid of death?" If you're not afraid of dying, you're going alone, we're waiting for you here. ”

Du Lei did not answer Bailing's question directly, but put on an old fritter and said, "Didn't I say everyone's thoughts?" I know everyone is scared, what are you afraid of? It's nothing more than death. ”

Bai Ling didn't care what Du Lei said, and asked again: "Aren't you afraid of death?" ”

Du Lei hesitated for a moment, and then replied: "I'm also afraid, but there is no way, I am desperate now." ”

"If you want me to say, you are blind, you are like seeing through the red dust, don't be scared when you run into trouble."

"When did I get into trouble and get scared? Besides, I'm also cheering everyone up, why are you so careful? ”

"Cheer up? Is there anyone like you cheering you on? ”

"I'm just going to do it in a new way, you know?"

"Cut!"

"What do you cut?"

"You care about me!"

"You're really"

"Okay, okay, stop arguing, you can think of a way out of here if you have noisy spare time, this place is too dangerous." Seeing such a boring quarrel between Du Lei and Bai Ling, Ziguang immediately interrupted them.

"What else can I do, I can only take one step at a time." Saying that, Du Lei glanced at Qingfeng.

And Qingfeng, from the beginning of the two of them to quarrel, has been looking at them blankly, not saying anything, not saying who is right, not saying who is wrong, just coldly facing these two people to complain like scolding, and feeling deeply disappointed in the weakness of human nature of "why people always suspect each other when facing difficulties, instead of finding a way to solve difficulties".

Seeing that the current atmosphere was so embarrassing, Qingfeng understood that she couldn't calm the complaints in everyone's hearts if she didn't apologize, so she lowered her head, looked at the ground and apologized to everyone: "I'm sorry, it's all my fault, I really want to think about the colorful beads so much, so I didn't think about these in advance, so everyone is in a predicament now, blame me, I'm sorry." ”

"It's okay, it's not your fault," Ziguang explained Qingfeng, "Who knows what we'll encounter?" Since we have chosen this path, we must not be afraid of danger. ”

Du Lei and Bai Ling secretly looked at each other and didn't say anything.

Seeing that the "flames of war" had been extinguished, Ziguang took advantage of the situation and said, "Okay, then I'll continue to go." ”

"Okay."

Qingfeng looked at Ziguang with grateful eyes, and Ziguang smiled at her, hinting at her, "It's okay, it's not your fault." ”

Everyone continued to move forward, although everyone was now prepared for "a big deal is death", but the strange atmosphere and strange stone statues around still made everyone afraid. The feet are like iron balls cuffed to a thousand pounds, and they can't be lifted, but the reality forces everyone to move forward. This contradictory mood and dilemma make everyone have no choice but to take one step at a time.

Only focus on the present and do not consider the future is sometimes not stable, at least for now, a few people can now be said to be embattled, a little wind and grass can make a few people hold their breath, and then stop and carefully move their eyes to see what monsters will be around, for fear that the eyes will move too quickly to see something that they can't bear psychologically. But luckily, they never met. After making sure it was safe, he continued to shuffle forward.

"Why is this so long? Why haven't you finished yet? It stands to reason that there shouldn't be much place at the top of the mountain, but why hasn't it been done yet? There won't be any traps here, right? It won't be without an exit, right? Du Lei imagined 10,000 possibilities in his heart, "Probably not, how can there be no way out?" I still believe in science, I don't believe in any demons and monsters. Anyway, please, my God, get me out of here. Please, my God. Du Lei prayed as sincerely as he had never been so devout in his heart.

But God did not favor him, and the journey was still difficult.

Everyone pinned all their hopes on the front, and their eyes did not dare to look at the front without the slightest slackness, longing for something to turn the situation around.

Maybe there are times when the mountains and rivers are poor, or maybe God sees these children as too pitiful, and the bad luck finally comes to an end temporarily.

As we walked, an altar appeared in front of us.

"Altar!" Several people shouted out almost at the same time.

Everyone immediately rushed over.

"Wait! There won't be any pitfalls, right? When he was still a few steps away from the altar, Du Lei suddenly thought of the image that had haunted his mind countless times: trapped in some trap, and then eaten alive by a large number of monsters, or stabbed to death with a knife, or starved to death.

The others immediately realized the problem, "yes, wait a minute, I'll take a look." Ziguang volunteered.

"Wait, I'll go with you." Du Lei thought that he was also a man, and he should protect girls.

Ziguang and Du Lei carefully approached the altar step by step, and tried to see if there were any traps with their feet before landing every time. After repeated temptations, the two men safely ascended the altar, which was only ten steps away. When I went up and took a closer look, I found that the altar was paved with dozens of neat stones, and the stones were covered with thick dust, and some weeds grew between the cracks of the stones. Ziguang and Du Lei walked around the altar and found that there were no traps, so they called Qingfeng and Bailing to come up.

When the two men came up, they brushed the dust off the stones and sat down on the ground.

"It seems that there must have been people living here before, otherwise how could there be an altar?" Ziguang looked into the distance and said.

"yes, maybe it's the same as Joy Island."

When it came to Joy Island, everyone was silent. Do you think about what the people left behind are doing? From time to time, they may think of these little heroes, and wonder when these few people will come back; It's also possible that you're just busy with your own business and have long forgotten about these people. But the most concerned about themselves should be their relatives, they should often think of themselves, looking forward to their early return. Everyone imagined the image of their victory countless times, and it was the people of the whole island who would greet themselves, applaud and cheer for themselves, and be proud of themselves. At that time, I will definitely hug the people closest to me, and even at that time I may cry. But at that time, I must have been very happy.

A few people immersed in the imagination temporarily forgot their troubles, but the reality will always meet unexpectedly, everyone returned to reality after a period of unconscious shaking of the body, looked around at the predicament around them, when they saw the huge gap between the ideal and the reality, of course, a few people couldn't help but be confused, where is the way out?

"Alas-" Du Lei sighed.

"I don't know when I'll be able to go back." Also helpless is Bailing.

"There's nothing better we can do now." Ziguang has nothing to do.

But only Qingfeng knows that escaping reality is useless, and all that needs to be done now is to face reality, "I think, now we should have a good rest, and then make plans." ”

As soon as Qingfeng said this, the others did feel a little exhausted by the fatigue and frightening along the way. Since someone proposed to rest, everyone didn't say much, they took out a cloth from their bags, wiped the ashes on the altar, and fell asleep.

Qingfeng likes to sleep alone since she was a child, so she found a place to rest a little away from everyone, and she had a dream, a confusing dream: a long, long time ago, a village suffered a natural disaster, and the villagers were forced to leave their homes, after more than half a month of searching, these villagers finally found a piece of feng shui treasure, they chose to settle down in the mountain basin, and gave the village a new name, called "Xiangyang Village", in the hope that the village will be prosperous from now on. Through continuous efforts and multiplication, the population and size of the village continued to expand, and over time it developed into a tribe. And with the development of the economy, the tribe's science and technology, politics, culture and other fields are also developing rapidly, and everything is thriving. All are full of hope for tomorrow, believing that the glory will always be theirs and that the tribe will always prosper. But unfortunate happened, a virus from ancient Europe swept through the tribe, this virus can control the human brain, make people have an endless desire to suck blood, which is often called vampires. With no drugs to counteract, almost all of the tribe have been reduced to puppets of the virus. Although the tribal chief and several leaders survived, they were saddened to see the virus wantonly eroding the consciousness of the masses. In order not to jeopardize the safety of the people in other regions, the tribal chief developed a medicine in one day, which can turn people into stone statues and freeze people's consciousness. After a short period of thought, the chief resolutely scattered the medicine all over the place, and a few hours later all the infected villagers were turned into gargoyles. In order to prevent the gargoyle from breaking the shackles of the drug and coming out to harm people again. The chief set up a formation around the tribe and trapped all the gargoyles in the tribe. Although the problem was temporarily solved, it was not a long-term solution, and in order to save the tribe once and for all, the chief and the rest of the survivors embarked on a path of no return in search of a cure......

The story is over, Qingfeng also wakes up, and she thinks of her strong bloodthirsty desire last night.

"Did I get that virus too? Why does it feel so much like it? Wouldn't I have to suck blood in that case? Thinking of this, a picture of greedily drinking the blood of a bright red person appeared in Qingfeng's mind, and she couldn't help but feel a little disgusted. At this time, her throat somehow and inexplicably began to itch.

She couldn't believe she had that disease, but she had to believe it. She began to worry about her future, she had fantasized countless times about how wonderful her future was, how exciting, how exciting, but this sudden nightmare undoubtedly set off a thousand waves in her heart, one question after another suddenly hit, Qingfeng was anxious to be asked.

"Could it be that I'm too worried," Qingfeng began to try to comfort himself after being unable to answer his own question, "Joy Island is so far away, how can I get this disease?" And I didn't eat anything along the way, and I didn't go anywhere without permission, my dry and itchy throat may be caused by my poor health, anyway, my body has loved to be sick since I was a child. ”

Thinking of this, Qingfeng calmed his breathing a little, looked around, and after making sure that everything was okay, he lowered his head again and thought about this question.

"No," Qingfeng frowned again, "I heard Grandma Ling say that I picked it up from the seaside, so where did I come from?" Drifted to Pleasure Island from here? It's unlikely, it's so far from Joy Island. Could it be that I got this disease while drifting, and I only have a seizure now? "Qingfeng's heart is now raised.

"If so, then wouldn't I have to suck someone else's blood? But I don't want to suck blood, and I don't want to hurt anyone, but ...... What the hell am I supposed to do? The breeze was so anxious that he pounded his thigh.

"But it's also possible ......"

Qingfeng thought that he was sick for a while, and then thought that he was not sick, and he was going crazy.

After a while, Ziguang woke up. When he woke up, he saw Qingfeng sitting there alone, with nowhere to place her limbs and tangled expressions on her face, and immediately understood that she was very anxious now.

"Qingfeng, what's wrong with you, are you uncomfortable?" Ziguang walked over and asked.

"I," Qingfeng wanted to say but stopped, she wanted to say her distress, but she was afraid that others would alienate her if they found out, so she casually found a reason to prevaricate, "Do you think we can find the colorful beads?" ”

"So you're worried about this, little fool, don't worry, we'll find out."

"But we're now"

"Aren't we doing well now?" Ziguang looked at the breeze, his eyes full of encouragement and concern.

"Okay." Qingfeng looked into Ziguang's eyes and said.

"Well, don't put too much pressure on yourself."

"Okay." Qingfeng nodded knowingly.

After a while, Bai Ling and Du Lei also woke up.

The four of them sat together, looking at the sunset on the horizon, seeing the last bit of afterglow in the sky, each thinking about it. Bai Ling thought of "the sunset is infinitely good, but it is just near dusk", and lamented that the good times are too short; Du Lei felt that this scene was familiar, and he couldn't help but think of his parents, who must be missing him very much now; Ziguang thought of the dusk of the prairie, imagining the spectacular scenery of "the wind blowing the grass and seeing the cattle and sheep"; Qingfeng thought of the philosophy of "the sun rises in the East Sea and sets in the West Mountain, sorrow is also a day, and joy is also a day", and she thought of everything last night, she was thoughtful.

Under the sunset, the four of them quietly enjoyed this beautiful and ephemeral scene.
