Chapter 434: The Road to the Underworld...
I could only grope my way down the mountain, I knew that there was a winding mountain road at the bottom of the mountain, and as soon as I got to the dirt road I knew how to go.
I tentatively tried to find a path down the mountain, but after a long time of walking through the woods, I noticed a little light in front of me, and when I looked closely, it came from the forest, and there seemed to be a sound of talking.
Seeing the light in the darkness lifted my heart like seeing hope, and I walked towards the light, and suddenly thought, if the people there are the paper-tyers who are deliberately seducing me, then I am not falling into the net?
After thinking about it, if you wanted me to die, you would have killed me a long time ago, and if you didn't achieve your goal, you must be trying to use me to do something, and I just happened to go to see who that papermaker was.
I strode towards it, the ground was frozen, and there was a faint cry of winter insects, and the place I walked through alarmed the birds that rooked in the trees.
It was all a signal to me that it was a normal night in the forest, and that I had come out of that enclosed space.
The paper man maliciously changed our direction, but I didn't expect to make a mistake and let me come out.
The glimmer came from a small hut that was often found in the mountains, and was the residence of hunters, lumberjacks, and lacquercutters, some of whom had been stationed in the mountains for many years, and these small huts were their temporary home.
It sounded like there were a few men drinking and chatting in the house, and there was green smoke rising from the thatched roof, and the smell of barbecued meat wafted from it, so I approached cautiously and listened to them say a few words, and the conversation was about hunting, so I was relieved and stood outside and asked, "May I come in?" ”
The wooden door opened silently.
A strong flashlight shot at my face, shaking me so hard that I couldn't open my eyes, and the man's rough voice came: "Which one are you?" ”.
"I was passing by and got lost in the mountains"
"Walking in the ravine at night, you are not looking for death." The man swore and said, "You come in." ”
As I walked into the hut, I was greeted by a warm smell of a thriving fire, and three rough men sat around it, all in white woolen jackets.
One of them had a flask in his hand, and a small beast was roasting on the fire, bubbling with oil and gas.
"Whoever passes, let him come in and rest." The man who greeted me said that he was particularly eye-catching among the four, because he was a one-eyed dragon, and he had no left eye, just a black hole, and his face was full of horizontal flesh, which looked very intimidating.
I sat by the fire, and the wall behind me was covered with animal heads, and on the opposite wall were many brightly colored feathers, and it seemed that these hunters had a good harvest.
Two of them were wary of me, suspecting that I was a spy sent by the forestry department, and the one-eyed dragon said, "It's a ball, you see how she falls, she is gray-headed, and the forestry dog is not like this." Besides, who has nothing to do with finding a girl to be a spy. ”
"Little girl, where are you going? Are you in such a hurry to run for funeral? ”
The one-eyed dragon spoke rudely and unpleasantly, and I took the opportunity to say that my grandmother had died, and I really had to rush back, so I didn't care about the bad weather.
They told me that this section is called Tianchizi, which is the steepest and most bizarre mountain range at the junction of Sichuan and Shaanxi, and there are basically no cars at night, and vehicles are traveling in groups during the day, otherwise, it is easy to get lost.
"There's only one highway, how can you get lost?" I asked tentatively.
"There is only one way in the underworld, but there are many ways in the underworld." A bearded man said sullenly.
