Five years later, in a certain lofty mountain, under the starry sky, on the rocks by the river, a bonfire was burning, and all around, five unkempt people stared at the fire in silence, without saying a word, only the occasional crackling sound of burning wood sounded, and the atmosphere was very solemn.

The wind at night in the mountains is very cold, and the breath is coming, blowing people all over the body. Everyone shuddered, and their bodies shrank together. Under this oppressive silence. Suddenly, there was a faint sound of footsteps not far away. Everyone looked up, a little nervous, and they looked at the approaching figure in the distance without blinking.

The people in the distance trotted, and before they could reach them, the voice came.

"Everyone, there's someone not far from here! Someone! We're out of this mountain! ”

The joyful voices of the visitors were incompatible with the night, and everyone looked happy when they heard it. They were originally a group of travelers. Because they were tired of the tourist areas, they went to the nearby unexplored mountains to enjoy the more natural scenery.

However, what they didn't expect was that it didn't look too big in the mountains, and they lost their way when they came in.

Going around and around, they don't know where they are except mountains and mountains these days, and there is no mobile phone signal. The food brought in is also running out little by little during these days. Except for the remaining tent, so that they can sleep in the wild, so that they will not be targeted by snakes, insects and ants at night, they have been forced to a dead end, without food or drink, cold at night, and if they can't get out, they will be trapped and die in this mountain.

Hearing that there were people not far away, they all ignited a strong desire to survive for a moment. Everyone was ready to go, following behind the two people who had gone out to look for them, step by step towards the place they said there was someone.

It was different from what they imagined, they thought that the person they said was that they met someone in the mountains, but they didn't expect that the person they said was someone who had someone.

I saw that between the mountains and forests, a small two-story building was out of place in front of me. At night, the gray lime walls are not painted, and at a glance, the faint lights in the small building are like candles in the wind, and the shadows are full of shadows.

Everyone felt a little weird for a while, and the only two women in the line swallowed, "Are we going to knock on the door?" ”

The night was filled, and the people in the deep mountains, they actually had the heart of retreat. But the status quo does not allow them to retreat.

The captain felt helpless about the girl's sensitive and delicate nerves, he wiped his face, tried to make himself look neat, and let everyone stand in place, he and another good-looking and clean-looking Xiaoliu in the team stepped forward and knocked on the small building.

"Anyone? Is anyone there? The palms of their hands were lined up on the iron door, and they were afraid that the people in the house would not be able to hear them, so they shouted loudly. The cacophony startled the birds that had slept in the woods. A fluttering swarm flew up, obscuring the remaining moonlight for a moment.

They shouted for a while, and at last they felt the slight sound of footsteps coming from the house, and the door trembled slightly, and for a moment the door that had been blocking them creaked open.

The clear moonlight became brighter and brighter in the middle of the night, and the night seemed to add a layer of filters, a qiē gray and gray. In the moonlight, the person who opened the door was clearly seen by them.

The door was opened by a child, seven or eight years old, his skin as white as snow, his lips were not punctuated, and he had large, delicate eyes, and his hair was long and hung down to his waist, and it was impossible to tell whether it was a boy or a girl. Pretty and weird. He wore a shirt that was too wide for him, clearly an adult's clothes. He held the door with both hands, □□ his legs and feet, and poked his head out of the doorway, looking at them with his dark pupils open. There was not a hint of milk in his voice, but he didn't seem to be very skilled, and asked them unfamiliarly, "You... We... Who is it? ”

Is it the night wind that is too cold? The two of them instantly felt a little cold on their backs.

At night, the mountains and forests, the houses that appear in the deep mountains, and the beautiful and weird children.

The two of them pulled the corners of their mouths in a panic, and the superstition in their hearts retreated! Superstition retreats! Superstition retreats!

After reciting this three times, the two of them finally came back to their senses, bowed their heads and raised a gentle smile to the child, "Little friend, what's your name?" Is your family at home? ”

The child blinked, as if thinking of something, "Daddy... At home, can't disturb Dad. ”

Xiao Yanagi scratched his head, "Little friend, we will definitely not disturb your father, is there anyone else in your family?" My brothers and friends are lost and can't go home, can you take us in for the night? ”

The child tilted his head, his dark eyes stared at his straight hair, and then he said unclearly, "Yes...... However, you can't... Excuse Daddy if you make Daddy angry...... Just eat it... You ......"

The child chuckled, his lips as red as blood curled happily, and the small laughter made their hairs stand on end, making them doubt whether they had made the right or wrong decision.

Anyway, the two returned to their teammates with this strange mood and told them what had just happened, except for one female teammate who felt a little scared, and the rest of them said that the two of them were frightened birds.

They also feel like they're thinking too much. After consulting with everyone, they carried their bags and followed the children into the house. The door creaked shut. As soon as everyone's mood relaxed, the frightened female team member screamed, and the poignant voice made everyone stunned and stopped one after another.

Xiao Yanagi, who reacted, covered the other party's mouth and looked at the child embarrassedly, "Be quiet, don't disturb the child's father!" ”

The little child in front of him turned his head and his gaze fell on the screaming woman, his eyes seeking.

The captain frowned, stepped forward and whispered to her, "What's the matter?" Suddenly howling? ”

The woman trembled as she looked at the child gloomily at her, her face full of fear that she was about to cry, "Snake-snake-"

The captain was stunned for a moment, followed the woman's gaze to look at the child, at this time, when they arrived in the bright room, they saw clearly, a silver-white white snake crawling around on the child's body, it seemed to be proficient in spirituality, knowing that the woman was talking about him, arched the snake's body, and the cold snake pupils stared at them, swallowing the forked tongue.

The crowd was frightened and took a step back.

The captain looked at the child in front of him in surprise, and only now did he realize that it was not their delusion just now, and the child in front of him was indeed not an ordinary child. Where would an ordinary child say something like eating you, and keep an obvious poisonous snake as a pet.

Thinking of this, the captain felt a little uneasy in his heart, and looked at the child with a little more guard.

The child's lips were pursed, his eyes were not good, and he looked very unhappy.

He stared at the woman with a grim expression, "If you call again, let Xiaobai bite you to death!" ”

Everyone looked at each other, and the captain stepped forward to apologize, "I'm sorry." ”

"Fortunately, I didn't disturb Dad." The child muttered to himself, ignored him, and led them inside.

At first, they stood at the door, and they followed the child into the house, which looked average on the outside, but the interior was still well decorated and designed. The feet of the crowd were on the wooden floor, and the more they walked inside, their faces began to turn blue.

Because, they found that there was not just one snake in this room, but several snakes, all silver-white and pink, large and small, hovering on the chandelier floor, or in the sofa. Such a snake-like scene made the most calm Xiaoyanagi couldn't help but turn pale. Frequently look at the captain.

The captain understood the meaning of his eyes, and he asked, what kind of house did they go to?

Maybe it's a snake breeder.

Captain Lotte comforts himself.

"You can only stay in this room, you can't go to other rooms, and leave as soon as it is dawn."

The child finally led them to a room, where everyone looked. Fortunately, although there is only a simple bed in it, not even a quilt, but he also has no snakes!

The boy brought them over, and did not mean anything to wash and eat them, but just stared at them into the room, made sure that he would not disturb his father, and left.

Also, after all, it's just a child.

Everyone didn't care, because there were snakes outside the room, they quickly closed the door when they entered the room, and as soon as they closed the door, the girl who was so frightened that she couldn't help but pull Xiaoliu's clothes, and her voice was trembling, "Let's go!" This kid is weird, and there's a snake here! ”

Koyanagi looked at the captain in embarrassment, and the captain stepped forward to plug the crack in the door with his backpack and looked back at everyone.

"What do you guys think?"

To be honest, the captain and the others also felt that something was wrong with this place. But things have come to this point, and they all enter people's homes, and then leave. Moreover, there was no way out of the mountains, and he had planned to wait for the child's father to get up tomorrow and ask his father for directions out of the mountain. If they leave like this, they don't know the way out of the mountain, and if they go out, they will die.

Obviously, everyone has this idea to a greater or lesser extent. When he asked, the look on his face became a little hesitant. Xiao Yanagi and another woman named An Xiao comforted the frightened girl.

"It's okay, let's sleep here for one night, and we'll leave tomorrow after asking for directions."

The frightened girl was called Qian Ruodie, she was comforted by the two for a long time, and then gradually eased up, and finally stopped making noise and wanted to leave.

Seeing that everything was fine, the tired people hurriedly took out their clothes, put them on the ground, and laid them on the floor in the room, leaning on each other to prepare for rest.

After four or five days of wandering around the mountains, the spirits of the seven people have reached the extreme. Although there is no bedding, the environment inside the house is much better than in the wild. As soon as everyone's nerves relaxed, they longed to sleep to death one by one.

The captain and Koyanagi were a little uneasy, they pushed and woke up the three men in the team except for the two girls, discussed it, and decided to take turns keeping vigil.

Time passed slowly and quickly after quieting down, after two rounds of shifts, in the blink of an eye, it was the second half of the night, it was already dark, and in the shallow room with only the sound of breathing, Ruodie suddenly woke up from her sleep.
