Chapter 1 Travel

I'm a student from a university with decent grades, and this time I want to shoot albino Siberian tigers with the fat man and a few others.

It is because I heard that in the mountains and forests of Northeast China, wild Siberian tigers are extremely rare and almost impossible to find, and the albino Siberian tigers are even more feathered phoenixes.

The campus is also relatively close to the wild mountain forest, and the family did not agree with the idea when it first came to mind.

But the four of us did not lose heart, and after buying all the materials and equipment with our pocket money, the four of us quietly set off at night on campus.

Fat Man and I were best friends when we were children, but I didn't expect that after being separated for a long time, we were admitted to the same university and became classmates.

Sitting in the crowded bus, the mountains and forests outside the window are a verdant scenery, even though it is summer and the temperature in X City is not too hot.

Watching Xiao Guo and the squad leader flirting in the back row, I couldn't help but turn my head away.

In fact, I shouldn't have participated in the event this time, but when I heard that she and Xiao Guo were interested in this matter, my heart seemed to be forcibly pulled in.

Her name is Li Yue, although she is the class president in college, I have been secretly following her since I was in junior high school.

I didn't dare to tell anyone about this matter, even at the most difficult age to keep a secret, and watching her and Xiao Guo hold hands in college, I carried it hard.

The city of X is located on a slight plain, and the climate is distinct throughout the year, although the albino Siberian tiger often appears in the snowy climate of winter.

But in this weather, the four of them still hope to be able to keep a few precious photos with their cameras.

Once at the station, it takes a long walk to reach the supply station, where there is a privately built rescue center.

A group of four people and the fat man walked together, no matter what they heard or saw, they always chose to ignore it.

Unless I really need my help, I'll silently take a hand, then turn around and look at the sun overhead, and leave as if nothing happened.

The supplies on our bodies are only enough to last for two or three days, which means that if we don't gain anything in two or three days, we will return in vain.

The fat man used the camera in his hand to take pictures of the scenery along the way, and even left a few unforgettable photos for Xiao Guo and the squad leader.

After more than five or six kilometers of trekking through the supply station, it was finally getting dark, and we were on the edge of a wild mountain forest.

In winter, the mountain in front of you is covered in snow.

Although I didn't see the blessings of rime and ice sculptures this time, it still kept the four of us busy.

The atmosphere in the university was already very boring, and everyone was very excited to finally go out on an adventure.

As night fell, the fat man and I cleared out two grassy areas for the tent, until late at night, after dinner, Xiao Guo in the tent next door suddenly borrowed the fat man's camera.

Although the four of us pooled the money to buy this camera, it was largely thanks to the fat man who spent the most money.

I don't know why he wanted to borrow the camera when he was resting at night, but I still didn't choose to ask.

There was a strange movement in the tent next door at night, and I vaguely felt that something was wrong, until the fat man was about to break out of the tent.

He couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth, and I instantly realized the source of the voice, and my face turned red unconsciously.

But it was like a knife in my heart, dripping blood.

It wasn't until dinner time the next morning that I made an important decision that was hard to understand.

"I'm quitting."

This sentence made everyone else a little overwhelmed, and the team of four people suddenly lost one person, obviously a little disappointed in the rest of the journey.

Just as I was in the tent and was about to pack up and go back to school, Xiao Yue, who had just finished freshening up behind me, hurriedly came over and asked me what had happened.

I didn't dare to say a word, just symbolically raised my head and glanced at Guo Zi and the fat man behind her, as well as the tooth marks on her neck.

His face flushed red again for a moment.

The fat man saw the embarrassment on my face and ran out of the tent, and the laughter covering his mouth could be heard ten miles away.

In the end, under the compromise of the four people, the original three-day journey was changed to two days, which was also to prevent any accidents in the wild mountain forest.

It wasn't until noon the next day that the scorching sun overhead gradually relaxed a little, and the air was filled with fog droplets.

The fat man, with his expertise, vaguely guessed that there might be a heavy rain.

These two small tents alone could not support the torrential rain and strong winds in the mountains, and we had to find some broken branches to strengthen the tents.

And this time, I didn't expect that I would strayed into the mountains and lost my way, and there were trees everywhere, and I couldn't see the location of the camp at all.

Seeing that it was getting late, my heart gradually began to panic.

The rain began to fall overhead, and as the dark clouds drifted into the air, it was already dark at two or three o'clock in the afternoon.

I was desperate to find a place to shelter from the wind and rain, but I didn't expect to find a very strange little house in the mountains in the distance.

From a distance, this small room is dilapidated, but it seems to be barely able to accommodate the next person.

At first, when I moved towards the small house, I thought it was a unique local land temple, but I didn't expect that it was not until I came to the front that I suddenly realized that the temple was not occupied by the land grandfather.

It's a strangely shaped Taoist temple.

This narrow temple is filled with portraits of various immortals, and it has become obscure due to the erosion of time and environment.

I looked at the Taoist statue in front of me, and I felt a strange feeling in my heart.

Until he wiped the mud marks on the statue's face with his hands, he was frightened for a moment and took several steps backwards in a flash.

The statue of the Taoist priest in front of him dressed up and holding a dusty hand is extremely ordinary from any direction, but only his face actually has four pairs of eyes.

In addition to the two in the eye sockets of normal people, there are two pairs on the forehead and a pair on the cheeks.

I feel more and more that this Taoist temple is full of weirdness, although there was a Taoist temple in front of my house when I was young.

I also often go there to play, but the Taoist temple enshrines the Sanqing patriarch and all kinds of immortals.

I have never seen any legendary fairy with eight eyes on his face.

The decaying portraits on the walls of my inner fear left a strong depression in my heart, forcing me to leave the Taoist temple.

But when he didn't walk long, the suddenly dark sky had already rained, and he was beaten back by the rain.

Even if you are afraid, as long as you don't think about something, you won't have a problem.

At first, I couldn't help but kneel down and kowtow three times to the statue of this Taoist temple, although I don't know what kind of immortal he is called.

But in these barren mountains and mountains, there are some things that should be believed rather than not.

This is also a sentence that my father once instructed me when I was a child.

The torrential rain kept beating outside the Taoist temple, and gradually I was a little glad that I had found such a shelter, but I didn't know what happened to the fat man and the squad leader.

Even if others are willing to abandon themselves, the fat man will definitely not leave me alone.

Unexpectedly, after the rain stopped, I quickly heard other people's voices in the mountains.
