"You rest first, I'll go out to find some water, and by the way, find a higher place to see if there is a signal on my mobile phone, so that I can contact Uncle Jin", Chen Zhi said to Lord Leopard.
Leopard Ye nodded and handed the phone to Chen Zhi. Chen Zhi's mobile phone was left to Qin Yueyang in the village before.
The moonlight in the sky outside was very bright, but the surrounding forest was pitch black, Chen Zhi glanced at his mobile phone, and there was no signal. He took the kettle and walked along the shadows in the forest, looking for a higher place.
He climbed a hill first, and after making sure that there were no pursuers around, he showed his head and tried the mobile phone signal, but it still didn't work, and there was no possibility at all. Chen Zhi was a little desperate, and he had no choice but to climb down and walk towards the woods to find the stream.
There was no shortage of water in the mountains, Chen Zhi followed the sound of the water and quickly found a stream in the mountains, he hurriedly ran over and poured several sips like drinking a sweet spring, and he was already smoking in his throat after the exhaustion of this day.
Chen Zhi filled a pot of spring water and washed his face in the water by the moonlight. At this time, Chen Zhi found that the water in this creek was very turbid, and when he looked up, a stream of colored liquid flowed down, seemingly... It's blood.
Chen Zhi glanced upstream, and in the distance was a forest, and he couldn't see anything clearly in the black hole.
When Chen Zhi returned to the cave with the kettle, the leopard master was roasting the fire by the fire, Chen Zhi handed the kettle over, and the leopard master took it and drank it in a big gulp, he had lost too much blood just now, and now he needs a lot of water.
"Did you just see them outside?" , Leopard Ye put down the kettle, looked at Chen Zhi and asked.
"No," Chen Zhi shook his head.
The leopard master's eyebrows furrowed, this answer seemed to surprise him. "That unit is very powerful, they won't stop if they can't find us, they have hounds in their team headquarters, and we smell a lot of blood, so it stands to reason that they should chase them around now."
"Maybe it's too remote!" Chen Zhi replied, taking out half a box of cigarettes in his cross-body bag, handing one to the leopard master, and lighting one himself.
The leopard master took a puff of cigarette, was silent for a while, and said, "It's very strange in this valley, we didn't see any animals all the way, and after you left just now, I went out to see, this valley is too quiet, something is wrong."
The leopard master took another puff, spit out a cigarette, looked at the fire indifferently with gray eyes, and said in a low voice: "What I'm afraid of is that there may be something else here, so he doesn't dare to come in." It seems that this night, we are not having a good time. ”
Since there were no pursuers, Chen Zhi burned the bonfire a little more. Ordinary beasts are afraid of fire at night, and the leopard master should not be in danger in the cave for the time being. Chen Zhi decided to go out again, firstly because he had nothing to eat to see if he could catch a wild hare, and secondly, he wanted to go to the upper reaches of the stream to see what was there.
When Chen Zhi walked in this valley, he felt that this valley was a bit evil, not only could he not see big animals, but he couldn't even see rabbits and mountain birds, there was only a dead forest. This was very abnormal in the deep mountains, and there was an eerie silence around Chen Zhi, and he couldn't hear anything except the sound of the wind and leaves.
The creek was not far away, and soon, Chen Zhi walked to the creek again.
Chen Zhi squatted down and picked up the stream and looked at it, the turbid color in the water was indeed blood, and it was still flowing downward.
"Where did the blood come from? Is it an animal that died upstream? Impossible, it is impossible for an animal to shed so much blood, so what is that? Could it be..."
In fact, Chen Zhi has always been mentally prepared, the armed team of the mysterious organization is extraordinary, they will find this place sooner or later, the leopard master is seriously injured, and they basically have no hope of living. But after all this time, not even the shadow of that team was seen, not even the barking of dogs. It was as if the team had disappeared in the primeval forest.
Chen Zhi walked upstream along the side of the stream, the moonlight was bright, and there was a deathly silence around him, which made the roots of the hair chill.
The woods around him grew denser and denser, and he walked to an area with very tall trees, and saw that the stream had turned a corner and plunged into the dense woods.
Chen Zhi turned on the flashlight and walked into the woods in the dark, the trees in this forest are different from the common birch trees in the Great Khing'an Mountains, the branches of these trees are very dense, and the trunks are thick and tangy, Chen Zhi can no longer see the moonlight in the sky after walking into the woods.
Less than 200 meters ahead, he suddenly saw a dark shadow in the darkness ahead, like a wall.
Chen Zhi turned on the flashlight and walked forward, behind a dead body, Chen Zhi saw the wall, this wall really doesn't know what age it is, the wind and rain only left the appearance of a wall, covered with green moss and weeds, and there is a big hole in the middle of the wall.
Chen Zhi squatted down and walked through the hole, only to see a stone staircase covered with weeds appear in front of him and go all the way up. Chen Zhi walked up the stairs, and less than twenty meters, he saw a very dilapidated ancient temple, overgrown with weeds, hidden by a fallen dead tree.
It's so dark here, under Chen Zhi's flashlight, you can only see some eaves tiles and rotten black walls of the ancient temple, the top of the temple seems to have collapsed half, and the plaque can be identified as the ancient seal character "Mountain Temple".
This mountain temple is not large, with only one main hall. The slopes on both sides are very steep, and this ancient temple must have been forgotten by people for a long time.
The door was already rotten, Chen Zhi didn't dare to make a move, and lightly broke off those old-fashioned boards, put them on the ground to the side, and then shone them in with a flashlight.
There is a shrine in the shrine, surrounded by frescoes, very fine, the colors and lines of those frescoes are revealed from the thick mold, and the painting is exquisite, and it is by no means the work of a shoddy and inferior craftsman.
This made Chen Zhi a little surprised, judging from the corrosion of the murals, this temple is at least one or two thousand years old, but the specific era cannot be seen. Ordinary mountain temples are built by the local villagers themselves, who built such temples in the mountains for what purpose? It seems that there are too many secrets in this mountain.
Chen Zhi's flashlight shone under the shrine, and he glanced at the mountain god in the shrine, but the face he saw was much more than Chen Zhi expected.
