The boy's hands were so cold that my mind cleared up. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Ah, is this a nightmare?
Strange as it sounds, just as I thought about it, my hands and feet were able to move, and the creepy sounds faded away, and I took a deep breath and woke up from my nightmare.
When I opened my eyes, it was already dawn outside, and the members of the mountaineering club were washing up and busy.
Although the scene in the dream is vivid, it is not real. I sat up and reached out to caress my heart, which was still beating wildly. The ominous feeling didn't go away with the nightmare, and I couldn't help but be a little worried about Chen Yibai.
When I got out of the tent, I saw Chen Yibai, Zhou Chengguang, the president of the mountaineering club, and Zhang Di gathered at the table in the center of the camp, seemingly discussing today's itinerary.
Seeing me coming, Chen Yibai immediately said, "Qianhui, are you sleeping well?" ”
I thought to myself: what good. Turned his head to look at Zhang Di. I saw that her face was a little pale and her spirit was not very good, but the spirit behind her was gone.
When Zhang Di saw me looking at her, he hurriedly changed his warm smile and said, "Qianhui, I didn't scare you last night, I didn't mean to." ”
Chen Yibai looked at me with some doubts, and I couldn't say anything in front of Zhang Di, so I just laughed and said, "No, I'm in a daze." ”
"That's good, let's form a team today." Zhang Di pulled me warmly, but his hands were very cold.
I gently pulled out my hand, turned my head to look at Chen Yibai and asked, "Really?" What are we going to do? ”
Chen Yibai nodded and said, "Today, Chengguang and a few of their veteran team members are going to explore the main peak, and I will take a few new team members and you to a scenic spot near here." ”
I remembered last night's dream, and I thought to myself, so that I can look at Zhang Di, and if there is anything wrong with her, I will tell Chen Yibai immediately.
After breakfast, Chen Xiaoxiao and I, as well as two boys and a girl, plus Zhang Di, a group of seven people set off to the scenic spot called Tamiao.
Leaving the camp, the team turned towards a path up the hill next to it. My heart jumped, isn't this the path she took when I saw Zhang Di last night?
Zhang Di and Chen Yibai walked in the front, but they still didn't see the spirit behind them. Seeing her talking and laughing with Chen Yibai, it was as if nothing had really happened.
Chen Xiaoxiao stared at the backs of the two and pouted and said, "I really don't like this Zhang Di, don't you think she is very clingy to my brother?" ”
I was absent-minded and just hummed.
Chen Xiaoxiao thought I agreed with her, and continued: "You know what? Last night, I overheard a member of a mountaineering club say that Zhang Di had been in a relationship with Zhou Chengguang before, but suddenly broke up with Zhou Chengguang when he met my brother. ”
"What?" I was stunned, this was the first time I had heard of it.
"The man said that Zhang Di and Zhou Chengguang are fellow countrymen, and Zhang Di's grades are actually not the best, but because Zhou Chengguang's father is the local public security director, he directly gave Zhang Di an index of targeted training, and she entered this university."
I looked at Zhang Di in front of me who was smiling like a flower, and said in surprise: "Then why is she still pestering Brother Yibai?" ”
"Hmph, I guess I think that small city is not good, and I want to pester my brother to stay here. He was really good enough to find out about my family's situation in such a short period of time. Chen Xiaoxiao glanced at Zhang Di disdainfully: "But her wishful thinking has definitely failed, my brother has long taken a fancy to you." ”
I didn't expect Chen Xiaoxiao to say this suddenly, and I almost tripped under my feet.
Chen Yibai hurriedly turned his head and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"It's fine." I waved my hand in a panic: "I stumbled, it's fine." ”
"Be careful." Chen Yibai looked at me uneasily, and suddenly stretched out his hand and said, "Come, I'll pull you, the mountain road here is narrow." ”
My face immediately felt hot and uncomfortable. This Chen brother and sister can really cause embarrassment.
To my surprise, just as I was hesitating, Zhang Di came over and stretched out his hand to push me to Chen Yibai and said, "Your godbrother called you, why don't you hurry up." ”
Chen Yibai took my hand and continued to walk forward.
The rest of the way, Chen Yibai kept holding my hand and walking at the front of the team, I couldn't see Zhang Di, and naturally I couldn't see whether the spirit behind her came out.
The mountain road turned a corner, and a narrower road overgrown with shrubs appeared ahead. Chen Yibai said to me: "The tower temple is inside, I have seen the photos taken by Cheng Guang, which is quite interesting." And not many people know about this attraction, so it has always been pristine. ”
"Really? How did Zhou Chengguang find out? I stretched out my hand to push away the bushes in front of me, the bushes were too dense, and although Chen Yibai was opening the way in front, they kept gathering together.
"It was discovered when he came to mountaineering when he was a freshman, and then every year when he climbed the mountain, he would take the team to come and see, which is also a fixed project."
After walking for about ten minutes, we walked through the dense bushes. As soon as they came out, everyone was surprised, and it turned out to be a flat land, and the flat ground was full of all kinds of unknown and bright wildflowers. At the end of the platform is an old locust tree almost two stories high, with branches that cover most of the platform.
The old locust tree is unknown how many years it has been, and its trunk is full of lumpy nodules. The locust flowers of the tree are fragrant. As soon as the wind blew, they fell like snowflakes.
What's even more amazing is that this huge ancient locust tree grows out of a one-man tall stone tower.
The shape of the stone tower is very similar to the kind of tower mound used by the monk in the temple after his death, although it is very old, and the tower body is also covered with moss, but you can still see the exquisite and detailed patterns carved from the gaps. The branches of the ancient locust tree generally stick out from the small carved windows on the second floor of the ancient tower, and then extend to the top and around the tower.
The students were amazed, and everyone immediately excitedly took pictures around this "tree in the tower". Chen Yibai seemed to be particularly interested in the patterns on the stone tower, and kept scraping off the moss on it with a mountaineering knife in his hand.
I looked up at the rich canopy that almost covered the sky, and I felt something strange in my heart. In the shadows under the vast canopy, the ancient tower looked dilapidated and mysterious. Because the canopy of the trees shades the sun, the stone tower at the base of the tree is completely dark.
The fragrance of the acacia flowers was so strong that I felt a little dizzy and wanted to stay away. But for some reason, my eyes can't get rid of the carved windows on the stone tower.
Finally I couldn't help but walk over and look into the small windows of the stone tower. There was nothing but roots and moss. Just as I was about to leave, suddenly, a red eye appeared on the window, and it happened to be eye-catching.
