Forced to go up the mountain

Running wildly in the forest is obviously not something Yu Siqi is good at, especially this kind of unprepared long-distance running, which is a great torture and test for Siqi, an 'ordinary citizen who does not exercise often'. So, when Yu Siqi was almost unable to continue. Walnut stopped running, and took the initiative to help him slowly walk all the way to the foot of the mountain in front of him, and met Peanut.

"You guys are so slow, why are you more inkblot than a woman like me?" Peanut asked impatiently.

"He didn't have the physical strength to do it, and it took him some time on the road." Walnut helped Yu Siqi, who was a little unsteady on his feet, and said, "Take a deep breath and try to relax your body." It shouldn't be very difficult to get your body to get used to this rhythm. ”

"Oh my God! Don't their departments organize physical training? With such a terrible physical strength, how can I participate in large-scale outdoor activities in the future! Peanut looked at Yu Siqi, who was a little pale, and said, "It's really embarrassing." ”

"You seem to have forgotten that he was a civilian, Peanut?" Walnut took out a ** water from his arms, unscrewed the lid and put it to Yu Siqi's mouth and said, "Drink slowly, don't drink too strongly, that won't quench your thirst." ”

The sweet, cool liquid slid through Siqi's throat and flowed into his body. He felt like he had recovered from his state of detachment, and although he was still a little dizzy, it was definitely much better than before.

"Thank you," Yu Siqi said gratefully.

"Don't rush to thank me yet, you really should exercise more in the future." Walnut said solemnly: "If you continue like this for a long time, your body will easily collapse." ”

Before Siqi could reply, Walnut turned his face to Peanut and asked, "Didn't you go chasing dogs?" Why did you stop here, did you lose it? ”

"Let's not lose it, because the dog ran away into the mountains ahead." Peanut pointed to the hill in front of him and said, "I saw that since it had run out of there, I wouldn't bother to chase it any further." ”

Yu Siqi, who was relieved, asked with some concern: "Is there anything special about this mountain?" ”

"Don't you know? This mountain is still quite famous in this house, and I only knew about it because I did a lot of homework in advance. Peanut said proudly, "Do you want to know why it's so famous?" ”

"You know something I don't even know?"

For the first time, Walnut showed a surprised look at Peanut in front of Siqi, and that expression was really unbearable.

"While you're busy navigating your car, I took the time to read some folklore about the place, and many of them describe the mountain." Peanut hit the nail on the head and said, "Of course, it's not a good story. ”

"Tell me about it?" Walnut asked suspiciously, clasping his hands on his chest.

"This place is called Shelao Mountain, and it is said that in the past, this land was often flooded by natural disasters, so the harvest has not been good." Peanut said in a matter: "In order to keep their offspring alive, the poor will send their elderly parents to this mountain and leave them to fend for themselves." Over time, this originally ordinary hill has become a 'taboo' that people avoid talking about. Of course, this will not happen in modern times. However, it is also written that there are a large number of human remains in this mountain, so the locals still avoid it. ”

"It doesn't sound like a good place, really, why would that little guy go to such a 'ghost place'?" Walnut asked with a subtle expression: "Honestly, did you hit it with a stone, Peanut?" ”

"What can I do without me," Peanut succumbed to Walnut's sincere gaze, and said in a stumbling voice, "I just wanted to warn it not to run so fast." ”

"You're scared of it," Yu Siqi understood why Peanut stayed here, and why Hu Dou ran into Shelao Mountain.

All of this is caused by someone's love of 'littering'.

"I can't blame it all," Peanut struggled to defend himself, "and when I found it in the woods, it ignored me. Just run here, I want to scare it in a hurry! ”

"That's not a reason for you to throw a stone at it." Walnut said helplessly: "It's okay now, we don't have much time, and we have to find the dog." ”

"Actually, you don't have to look for Hu Dou at all," Yu Siqi said something that made Walnuts and Peanuts stunned, and the two asked in unison, "Why?" Isn't that your dog? ”

"I seem to have forgotten to tell you that Hu Dou is not actually my dog." Yu Siqi's face was slightly embarrassed, and he explained its ins and outs to the two.

"So, it's just a sidekick that the locals have asked you to look after?" Peanut smiled and asked, "Then I finally don't have to apologize to you, haha." ”

"Next time, you are not allowed to do this, how can there be any reason to throw rocks at dogs." Walnut emphasized it again, but was perfunctory by Peanut waving his hand.

Just as they calibrated their position with the compass and decided to follow the route marked on the map to the flooded Panlong Ridge to seek the help of Dr. Be, a strange sound came from the Shelao Mountain behind them. Although the voice is very soft, it lingers in the ears all the time. The kind of murmur that is whispered in obscure words is like an indescribable whisper.

Yu Siqi, who was a little concerned, subconsciously asked, "Did you hear that?" ”

"Very clear!" Walnut nodded, and the two of them turned their gaze to Peanut, intending to confirm the facts with her.

As a result, Peanut's pale face directly exposed her thoughts, and Yu Siqi thought: "This is really an incredible new discovery."

At first, they thought that as long as they stayed away from this Shelao Mountain, they should not be able to hear such a 'ringing magic sound'. But they didn't want to, and as they went, the louder the voice became. And a very strange thing happened to them, and whenever they passed through a dense wood, they would inevitably see the Sherao Mountain somewhere around the corner, sometimes closer to them, sometimes farther away from them. It's as if the whole world will come and follow in your footsteps.

"Looks like we can't escape today?" Walnut struggled to make her tone sound calm.

"Are you really going into the mountains?" Peanut asked worriedly, "There are only three hours left for us, and once we get lost in the mountains, it will be too difficult for us to turn back." ”

"Don't talk about it now, it's like you can go back! Damn, my head hurts. Yu Siqi's forehead began to have a strong migraine again, and his mood became a little irritable because of the pain.

"Need a break?" Walnut asked with concern, "I can squeeze out ten minutes for you to lie down for a while." ”

"Five minutes at most, I don't have that much time to waste on him." Peanuts began a 'delight' bargain.

"I don't need it at all, I'll take care of myself." Yu Siqi slapped his forehead a few times, trying to suppress this unprovoked pain.

"Alright then, I hope you get better soon." Walnut raised his perspective worriedly, looked up at the 100-meter-old mountain peak and said, "Let's go and see what the so-called 'Shelao Mountain' is!" ”
