Maybe I was grateful to me for accompanying him up the mountain, Lao Lin was much more enthusiastic about me, and he also had a lot of smiles, and he told me stories about the past in a different way, many of which were the first time I heard him talk about them.

Lying in bed at night, on a whim, I said, "Master, anyway, there is nothing going on on the mountain now, why don't we go to the tea tree nest tomorrow?" ”

Lao Lin Tou turned his head suddenly, "You kid doesn't leave the tea tree nest all day long, I know it's not that simple, but why do you always worry about that place?" ”

"Hey, Master, I don't know. There are too many doubts in my grandmother, according to what you said last time, if my great-grandfather hadn't lied, then my grandmother would not have lived until now, but the grandmother I saw not only lived well, but also had neat legs and feet, and the whole person looked not much older than you, I just wanted to see what my grandmother came back all the way back to the tea tree nest for! ”

"You'll find out where you go?" Lao Lin Tou's face was full of disbelief.

I shook my head and said, "I'm not sure about this, but just tell me that I'll have to go over and take a look." ”

"You stinky boy, I thought you were really going up the mountain with me to accompany me, but I didn't expect you to be a little conscienceless for this." Lao Lin Tou said half-jokingly and half-seriously, as soon as I heard him say this, I knew that this was a promise.

The next day, we woke up early, had the leftovers from last night hot and ready to go.

I packed up a bit of dry food and stuffed it into my bag, and when I was about to leave the house, I took off the airsoft and sheng bag hanging on the wall.

The old forest head carried the firearm on his back, looked at me and smiled: "It's very handy, but you are not a ranger now, and this gun is not for you." ”

"Hehe, Master, no one sees it, what are you afraid of, besides, if you encounter a man or a bear along the way, won't I be able to help you?"

"Go, go, I really met a man-bear, you work that thing? Okay, you can take it with you if you want, but there is one point, you are not allowed to put guns indiscriminately! ”

"Okay, I'll listen to you, I won't let go of the gun if I don't see a man or bear, okay?"

The old man slapped me with his gloves and kicked me out the door.

I asked my mother that there are actually two ways to get from my house to the tea tree nest, one is to go around from the reservoir, although it is relatively far, but the road is relatively flat, and there is no need to go over the mountains.

The other is from my grandmother's house, where the road is much closer, but almost all of them are steep mountain roads, and no one has walked them for decades, so it is a question whether that road still exists.

I chose to go by the reservoir not because of the road, but because I didn't want my family to know that I had been to the tea tree nest, and I was worried that something would go wrong.

One of us brought two bamboo snowboards, this kind of snowboard is homemade, find a thick enough bamboo, cut it into more than one meter of segment, and then cut it from the middle, put it on the fire to roast, bend the part of the head up, put it on the snow when skiing, step on both feet, this is a pair of skis, our children on the mountain will.

We use skis where we don't need to be flat, and where we can't use skis, we walk, and after walking in the mountains and forests for more than four hours, the old forest head finally pointed ahead and said, "It's here!" ”

I don't have many memories about the tea tree nest, the only thing I remember is my mother carrying my back basket and the camellia all over the mountain.

But now that everything is buried under the snow, I can't tell which place is the tea tree nest.

Lao Lin Tou took out the gunpowder bag behind him, poured a little into the gun, and then fired a shot into the sky.

I heard a loud "bang" and an endless echo that resounded throughout the mountain, and suddenly frightened away some birds and beasts.

The old forest head said that this was a release gun, and in this kind of barren mountains and mountains, this was the best way to avoid direct encounters between people and wild beasts.

"Master, where is the tea tree nest, why didn't I see anything?" I asked.

Lao Lin Tou pointed to the front, then turned around in place, and said: "This place is the tea tree nest, it used to be the tea tree ditch brigade, and then moved away, this place has not been inhabited for at least thirty years, and the previous house has been almost demolished, so it's normal that you can't see it." ”

"And where did you see my grandmother?" I continued.

The old man Lin looked around, and finally pointed to a mountain col in the distance and said, "That's it!" ”

I built a pergola with my hands, rested on my brow and looked ahead for a moment.

"Master, my mother said that our family's ancestral grave is here, isn't that also the direction?"

After hearing this, Lao Lin nodded again and again, "That's right, that's it, you should still be able to see the monument now." ”

"Then let's go over and have a look!"

With that, I took the lead towards the col.

Strange to say, the weather today is very good, although the temperature is still very low, but the sun is shining in the sky, so that we have blue sky above our heads and snow under our feet, as if we are in a dream.

But as I approached the col, I saw that the view was good, but I always felt that there seemed to be a dark cloud over the col.

I looked back at the old woodman, who walked calmly, and could not see anything unusual.

I thought to myself that if Lao Lin Tou found out that something was wrong, he would definitely say it, so I didn't tell him how I felt.

However, the closer I got to the col, the stronger the sensation became, as if there was some radiation in the col, and the closer I got to it, the stronger the radiation became.

However, it was this feeling that made me think that there must be something in this col that I had to figure out.

"This place used to be a gardening group, the tea leaves of our farm were cultivated from here, before the tea tree nest was not withdrawn, it was lively here, hey, so many years have passed, it's really ......" The old forest head introduced me to the previous situation here while walking, but I didn't listen to it at all, now we are only a few dozen meters away from the col, I can feel that the col exudes an evil, domineering atmosphere, I have never felt this way, so I was surprised and felt strange at the same time.

“...... Later, your ancestors said that this is a treasure of feng shui, and many people choose this place as a tomb, so there are not only your family's ancestral graves here, but also the ancestral graves of many people on our farm. ”

The old forest man was still chattering, and at this time we had walked into the col.

After entering, I found that this col was far larger than what I saw outside, and there were several square tea groves in it, and the tea trees were covered with crystal clear ice flowers, and when I looked at it from a distance, it looked like a fairyland.

On the edge of the tea grove are all kinds of mud bags, large and small, covered with snow, and some of them have tombstones in front of them, and needless to say, my family's ancestral grave is in it.

I don't understand, these graves don't look special, why do they give me that feeling? The Wushan Toast I met before, and the Yuehong Mei didn't feel that way.

I watched curiously as the graves on both sides continued to walk into the col, and as I walked, I suddenly felt my heart tighten, and then I felt as if my throat was being choked by someone.

The old Lin Tou soon noticed my abnormality, and he ran to me and asked me what was wrong.

But I couldn't make a sound at all, and the air in my lungs was running out little by little.

My first reaction was to fall for the corpse rot fungus, but after struggling for a while, I suddenly remembered the scene of the previous trick, and I found that my eyes could still see clearly, and the old forest in front of me was calling my name hoarsely, which meant that this was not the corpse rot fungus, but something else.

As the air in my lungs ran out little by little, my strength began to wear off, and I felt like I couldn't stand on my feet, and then I "plopped" and fell to my knees.

The moment I knelt down, my eyes instantly began to blur, and the ice and snow world in front of me, as well as the old forest, gradually lost their silhouettes, and finally fell into darkness.

Then a shadow emerged from the darkness, and as the darkness grew thicker, the shadow became clearer and clearer.

At last I saw a fierce man in the prime of life appear before me, dressed in a scarf made of animal fur, with a pair of strong hands around my neck, and there was no pity in his eyes, as if he was not done until he strangled me to death.

I thought to myself that this might be my death, and I don't regret it, but I regret it a little, even if I know the identity of the person who killed me, it can make me feel better.

But just as I was already accepting the reality of imminent death, another force suddenly appeared in the darkness, this power could not be seen or heard, but it was extremely powerful, and this power was very familiar to me.

As soon as this force appeared, I immediately felt much better, and I noticed that the middle-aged man in front of me seemed to see something powerful, and looked unwilling and frightened.

At this time, a rune suddenly appeared in my head, this rune I remember, was taught to me by this power when I went into darkness last time, and the meaning of the rune is: Avoid all evil, all filth, by the will of God.

As soon as this mantra appeared, my mouth involuntarily recited it, and I repeated it again and again until the feeling of pinching my neck was completely gone.

Then I went back to this quiet darkness, and I could feel the power still there, and I wanted to thank him, but I couldn't speak.

After a while, the darkness condensed as quickly as last time, and finally disappeared, and my eyes were white again.

"Zimu, Zimu, what's wrong with you!" The old forest was still screaming loudly, shaking me vigorously.

I pushed away Lao Lintou's hand, "Master, don't shake it, I'm okay, it's okay!" ”

The old Lin Tou didn't seem to be at ease, he helped me to sit on the snow, then took out the kettle and handed it to me, and asked suspiciously, "Okay?" Really good? ”

I took a sip of water and nodded, "It's really good, Master." ”
