Chapter 20: The Mist

After casually making some excuses to Huzi and the two of them, I left the camp with Little C. Jing Che, the www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun", also reappeared with me at this time, and with his memory, he walked with me, and went together to find the place where the swamp of the island was, and to find the infection that could heal my wounds, or the only hope that could solve my infection nowβ€”Blanco.

The sky was getting darker, and tonight's moon shyly ducked into the dark clouds, making it extra dark tonight.

I simply made a torch and held it in my hand, barely enough to make us move forward in this dark forest.

But perhaps this darkness has had some effect after all, and it has made our progress extremely slow.

"Jing Che, this is too dark. Even with the torches, I could only see a few steps under my feet. What's more, the road in this forest has never been easy to walk. Why don't you rest here tonight? ”

Jing Che didn't answer me directly, and by the light of the torch, I saw the sadness on his face.

He frowned, looked up at the sky, hesitated for a moment, and then turned to look at me:

"I'd advise you to keep going, I don't know how far you have to go to find the swamp, which is not so easy to find. I was just wandering around the island and stumbling upon the swamp. After that, I wanted to go but I couldn't figure out the way, and now I only have a rough idea of where the swamp is. What's more..."

"What's more? Is there anything else you haven't told me? ”

"Actually, I'm not sure, and I don't dare to jump to conclusions now. It's just that I feel that tomorrow maybe something will happen as soon as the day dawns, and then it may affect us a little bit. So I thought it would be nice to get out of the forest and find a clearing tonight. ”

"Boo"

Little C suddenly grabbed my hand and muttered softly.

"What's wrong, Little C?"

Little C looked at Jing Che and kept holding my hand and shaking.

"Oh yes, I forgot to tell you, even though I'm in soul form, no one can see me except you, but these animals can see me too."

"Really?"

When I heard what Jing Che said, I looked at Little C in surprise, and Little C should have understood the conversation between us, so he looked at me with a pouting and nodded.

"Little C, you understand our conversation, right? Do you want to keep walking or do you want to rest for the night? Nod when you go, and shake your head when you rest. ”

After listening to this, Little C nodded again.

When I saw the two of them who had been on this island for many years, it seemed that something bad was going to happen, and they all persuaded me to keep going and get out of this forest first.

"In that case... All right. ”

I also dispelled the idea of resting, and looked at the two of them, with a determined and somewhat worried look, and I was also somewhat affected by them. When I think of what happened on this island, I am really a little afraid that something will happen that I have never experienced before.

After a short rest, I took out the watch I had brought from the bow cabin I had found on the beach, looked at the time, and the hands were still ticking, "11:46", and before I knew it, it was late at night, and it was only a few hours before dawn.

So we walked in the direction that Jing Che had indicated again.

In order to get out of this forest, we did not dare to slow down our pace, but the road under our feet was not lacking in all kinds of thorns and weeds mixed with our feet, and the stumbling road made us move forward without a moment's improvement, and it was still moving slowly.

After walking in the dark for a long time, I don't remember when the sweat on my forehead came out, and my clothes were soaked with sweat.

I sat on the spot tiredly, wiping the sweat from my face like a downpour. Little C also seemed to feel a little tired, sitting against me, and his upturned nose kept panting.

I kept pulling the collar and relying on the slight wind to cool down my body that was about to "burn".

I took out my watch, and before I knew it, we had been walking for several hours, just like the hands on the watch, and the time had suddenly come to "6:05".

If you don't look at the time, you may not know that the trees that grow luxuriantly overhead tightly block our view of the sky overhead. Even though honest time tells us that the sun has already crept out by this time, my visibility still hasn't improved much.

This makes me a little confused, I've been on this island for a few days, and I used to get to this point every day, and although the sun didn't shine like at noon, I could see the scene in front of me clearly. But today, there is still a blur in front of me. Compared to the darkness of last night, when we couldn't see the road in front of us, now, it may be another pole, and the world in front of us has suddenly become a white expanse. In addition to the monotonous white, which makes people a little frightened, there is no color.

"Jing Che, what happened? Where are we? Over here... How could it be like this ... ”

I asked Jing Che with a whin, Jing Che looked around, turned around and supported his forehead with his hand, and shook his head helplessly:

"Alas, I still couldn't get out of this forest in advance. Yesterday I looked at the sky, and the thick dark clouds obscured the moon, which made last night extra dark. When I saw this, I was afraid that this would happen. On this island, if there had been dark clouds in the sky the night before, it would most likely be like this the next day. For some reason, a large white mist appeared in the forest. ”

"White Mist?"

"Well, I've been on the island for so long, and I've encountered this white fog several times. I don't know where the source of this fog is, and there is no other place, but it is in this forest, and it comes for several days, and then it will slowly disperse, this fog is extremely thick, so that people can not see the things in front of them except for a scene of white flowers, and it is easy to lose people's way. ”

I looked at the white mist that tightly "surrounded" us, and indeed as Jing Che said, just like in the darkness, except for the short distance under my feet that I could barely see clearly, the whole world seemed to be covered by white.

I stood up and took a few steps forward, no matter where I moved, except for the ground under my feet, there was only white fog left around me, and in any direction, I saw the same scene. If I hadn't gone far, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to find Jing Che and them with such kung fu.

"It's not an option to stay here, it's impossible to wait here for a few days, and we'll go when the fog passes, right? Jing Che, do you know how to go now? We have to at least move in one direction, and whether we can get out of it or not, at least try our luck. ”

I looked at the fog around me, and the direction in which the foreground was pointing was now completely unclear. Sitting dry is undoubtedly waiting for death, my heart is anxious by this fog as if it is on a hot pot, I wish I could get out of this fog as soon as possible.

"With this fog here, it's really hard for me to say which direction to go."

"Huh? You don't know, do you still have to count on me? ”

"This... That's right, look at Little C! ”

"Little C?"

I was confused by what Jing Che said, and turned to look at the little C behind me.

Little C is still sitting there, touching his big white belly, with a leisurely face.

"Why are you letting me see him?"

"Look in which direction he's sitting. Do you remember that you two were walking and sitting down on the spot? So in which direction he is sitting now, is the direction in which we should go. ”

"That's right!"

After listening to what Jing Che said, I really reacted to being so little bit by him. Fortunately, Little C didn't move, and after sitting down, he honestly rested there. Otherwise, I'm afraid that in the end, all hope will be gone.

"Little C, hurry up, let's continue our departure."

I called to Little C, since I knew which direction to go, I didn't want to stay in this white fog for a second longer.

"Why are you still so laid-back? Do you like to stay in this white mist? Since you like it so much, next time I take you to Beijing, how about living in the fog for the rest of your life? ”

Watching Little C stand up slowly, I was anxious to count him down for a while. But in his heart, he just wanted to leave this disturbing white mist first******** and he didn't bother to say a few words, so he set off and followed Jing Che forward.

Walking in the white fog, we can truly experience the horror of this white fog, no matter how far we go, there will always be only a piece of white around us. Originally, when people walk, they rely on the things around them to discern the direction so that they do not go in the wrong direction. But now that there is no reference around, we have to pick up some wooden sticks from the ground and walk on the ground little by little, for fear that we will go the wrong way in a trance.

"Jing Che, why did this forest suddenly become so big, and I couldn't reach the end after walking for so long."

Walking in the fog, as time passed, my patience was swallowed up little by little. No matter how long I walked, my eyes were white except for a piece of white, and this monotonous color made me feel a little anxious.

"It should be soon, don't be in a hurry, you can come to the end sooner or later, be patient."

"Patience? I really can't take it anymore. After walking for a long time, everywhere I went was white, white, white. It's annoying to watch. Now I can be happy with any other color. Also, look at this road, why does it feel so muddy today, and it takes half a day to pull your feet out. ”

I looked at my feet, the road under my feet today has become softer and rotten than a few days ago, and whenever I lift my feet and look at the mud scraped on my shoes, my heart is panicked.

With some venting, I stomped my feet on the ground a few times in succession, and cursed the muddy ground that upset me with words.

"Beware!"

As soon as Jing Che's words fell, before I could react, I felt that the road under my feet suddenly collapsed, and I suddenly lost support under my feet, and my body fell down with a "whoosh".

"Ahh

I felt my body fly into the air and fall down hard. I fell so hard at once that I screamed in pain.

I rubbed my aching ass and looked around.

Little C, who had been by my side, also fell down at this time and fell next to me, even if he had thick fat, he hurt a lot, and he lay on the ground and wailed.

I looked around and looked at the gray walls around me, smooth and uneven. I touched it with my hand, and the cold, hard feeling suddenly reached my brain.

"Is this, iron?"

"How's it going, are you alright?"

Jing Che is just a soul, so when the ground collapsed, he didn't fall down with us. At this time, he stood beside me and asked with concern.

"Jing Che, where is this? Why does the wall look like it's covered with iron? ”

After listening to it, Jing Che also touched the wall with his hand, and then he was also puzzled.

"I don't think I've been here before."

"You haven't been here? I feel like it's artificially built, does it have something to do with what ****** you were looking for? ”

"It's hard for me to say, the place we're in now looks like a tunnel, and looking at the wall, it does look like it's artificial. But this is indeed my first time in this place. I can't really say what it is. ”

"Then let's walk in this tunnel for a while, anyway, we fell down, we can't climb up, I guess we have to find an exit."

"Hmm. Ay! Look, how can there be light over there? ”

Jing Che pointed ahead, I looked in that direction, not far away, vaguely seemed to have a room, the door was slightly open, and a yellowish light was shining inside.

I looked at Jing Che, and Jing Che also looked at me with a puzzled face at this time.

Jing Che raised his eyebrows, and I understood what he meant. I took Little C with me, and we walked slowly and lightly towards it.

After walking for a long time, we were outside the room, and I slowly put my head against the wall and slowly put my head into the crack in the door, looking cautiously into the room.

"You... How are you! ”
