"Looks like there's really someone!"

Tian Zhenhao was a little curious, and walked through the grass through the woods, speeding up in the direction of the beam.

"Hey! Be slow, be careful! Guan Qi reminded behind him, and soon chased after him.

I looked up at the sky, observed the surrounding environment, and asked Du Youlan: "Do you think the flashlight is a little earlier in the current sky?" ”

"What do you say?" She didn't answer and followed Tian Zhenhao.

In the middle of the trees, we found three people, two men and one woman, all carrying large bags and looking well-equipped, like explorers entering this mountain forest. The two men are both older, looking to be around forty years old, and the woman is young, in her early twenties, about the same as Yao Qianwen. It is worth mentioning that she is very beautiful and is the kind of woman who will make any man can't help but look at her a few more times.

After a brief exchange, I found out that the identity of the other party was basically consistent with our guess. The purpose of their expedition was also to find the statue. It's getting late now, and I'm looking for a place to pitch my tent. The beam just now, just they were observing their surroundings.

"It's a bit out of place to pitch a tent. We're also traveling together, so let's go together. Tian Zhenhao proposed.

I always felt that when we first met, he was a little resistant to passing it.

But now, it's a bit proactive.

"He's seeing that people are well-equipped, right?" The silent night whispered in my ear.

This chicken thief feels a bit like Yao Qianwen. People are really with someone for a long time, and they will be imperceptibly infected and assimilated.

"Probably, but there's something else to ...... besides this."

"What?" Silent Night Doubts.

"Look at the eyes."

"Eyes? I can't see it, what is my brother talking about? ”

"It's nothing, let's go, it's not bad to walk together."

The combination of these two men and one woman is also a warm and cheerful person, and they did not refuse Tian Zhenhao's proposal. After chatting for a while, knowing that Tian Zhenhao had seen the statue, the enthusiasm of the three of them was even higher. I was already going to set up a tent on the spot, but now I decided to walk a little longer.

So, we continued on our way, chatting on the way, and I learned the names of the three men.

The two men are brothers, their names are Lin Sheng and Lin Rong, and the woman is Lin Sheng's girlfriend, who is indeed in her early twenties, coincidentally, her name is Yao Wenwen, and she is only one word different from Yao Qianwen.

I turned my head to look at "Yao Qianwen" and smiled subconsciously, "This is a bit different." ”

"You're talking to me?" Du Youlan looked at me with a smile.

I realized that I had just forgotten that the two had switched identities.

"It's just a habit to laugh at her, but unfortunately, she's not here now."

"You seem to miss her?"

"You seem to have a bit of a imagination."

……

Hearing that the names of the two were only one word apart, the three of them were also very surprised, Lin Sheng was pleasantly surprised: "Then maybe we met, it was fate?" Oh yes, I haven't asked carefully, brother, you said someone was waiting for you near the statue, who was that? ”

"My girlfriend."

The originally surprised expression on Lin Sheng's face became a little complicated, and he probably thought too much, so he smiled dryly: "Then, then don't be too anxious." ”

"There's no hurry."

"Brother, you've been here before? Know the route to the idol? He changed the way he chatted.

I shook my head, "I don't know." However, my girlfriend should have known, but she didn't tell me, which is a bit of a pity. ”

I seem to be a topic terminator, and this guy doesn't know how to answer me for a while.

"Ahem, that, I feel like it's close! I looked like I walked through this last time! It is estimated that Tian Zhenhao was too embarrassed to listen to our chat, so he couldn't help but interject and change the topic, in fact, he shouldn't have found anything.

Lin Rong was relatively withdrawn, and he explored the road together for a long time, he basically didn't talk much, observed the situation around him, looked at his watch again, and said: "Ten thirty minutes, this time is not early, it's almost midnight." It's easy to get lost wandering around in the woods so late, and it's just a waste of energy to go around in circles at that time. I thought it would be better to set up a tent here. ”

Tian Zhenhao and the two have no opinion on this proposal, there are three groups of people, two groups agree, and I have no reason to refuse.

It was only before setting up camp that I looked around, and although it was a little dark, I could still see some traces.

Traces of someone coming, and maybe even a tent was pitched here not long ago.

However, I was not the only one who found it, Tian Zhenhao was also aware of it, and raised this question loudly. Lin Sheng and the others disagreed, Yao Wenwen also explained that there are often people in this vicinity who come to explore, and this open space is suitable for setting up tents, and it is not surprising that some people have stayed here.

What she said also has some sense.

Originally, the three of us didn't bring so many tools, but fortunately, Lin Sheng had two spare sleeping bags, one for me, and one for Jing Ye and Du Youlan, but we could also spend the night.

The matter of setting up a tent seemed to be more physically demanding than exploring the way, and when everything was ready, everyone said that they were hungry. So, we started cooking in the mountains. Lin Sheng also brought a lot of food, meat, vegetables, and various seasonings, which were very complete and hearty. They were welcoming and gave us plenty of food.

In the middle of the mountain forest in the middle of the night, we lit a bonfire, and eight people gathered around the fire and ate a lot.

But strangely, no one continued to speak from the time they ate. They were all silent, and all that could be heard was the slightly eerie sound of chewing.

Tian Zhenhao, who was the most cheerful, seemed to be unable to bear the embarrassment of this silence, and took the lead in speaking: "This meat is roasted, it's delicious!" Brother Lin's skills are good! ”

But in fact, he only ate one bite.

"Haha, it's just a simple addition of condiments, I guess you're tired, hungry, and everything you eat is delicious!" Lin Sheng smiled and put the steak aside, "It's boring at night in this mountain, and there is no signal, I'm very tired just now, but let's sleep after eating, but I can't sleep yet." ”

"Why don't we play something?" Guan Qi proposed.

Speaking of playing, Silent Night is quickly able to integrate into the group, "What to play, what to play!" Play in the Silent Night, too! ”

"Let's play cards, I've got poker here." Tian Zhenhao took out a deck of cards.

"But there are eight of us, what are we playing?" Yao Wenwen looked at Tian Zhenhao suspiciously.

"This ...... What about Texas Hold'em? ”

Just when a few people were discussing, Du Youlan, who had barely spoken, suddenly had her unique cold voice and said: "It's better to tell a story." ”

Although the sound is not loud.

Although there are still others arguing.

But what she said still easily got into everyone's ears.

They focused their eyes on Du Youlan's face, and Yao Wenwen was curious: "Tell a story? ”

"What's the story?" Guan Qi also asked.

Du Youlan had a faint smile on her face, and looked up at the sky, just now, the drifting clouds obscured the moonlight, and the surroundings became even darker for a moment, "Such a quiet night is the most suitable for telling some strange stories, isn't it?" ”

"Strange stories?" Silent Night seems to like these things, and the sound is full of surprise.

"Not necessarily, it's good to be weird." Du Youlan responded.

The atmosphere became quiet again, but soon, Tian Zhenhao raised his hand: "Actually...... This proposal is not bad, but declare in advance, my Qiqi is timid, don't be too scary! ”

"I also like to listen to stories." Yao Wenwen agreed, and Lin Sheng and Lin Rong had no opinion.

Of course, I can't tear down my own people's platform.

"So who's going to start first?" Tian Zhenhao asked.

Du Youlan's gaze swept over us and responded, "If you ask, then let's start with you." ”

He scratched his head, as if telling a story was not so easy for him, who had a lot of words. But since everyone had no opinion, he wouldn't run away for it, so he said: "That's okay, then I'll start telling it, my story is not scary, it's quite funny, haha." The story takes place, well, even in modern times, and in the middle of such a deep mountain......"

Tian Zhenhao began to tell his story, which was the story of an explorer.

His name was A, and he was alone that day, exploring deep in the mountains. Late at night, he got lost and couldn't find the location of his tent before, and after more than an hour, he began to panic a little. But at this moment, he heard the sound of something jumping in the woods, and he didn't dare to make a sound at first, thinking it was a wild beast, but later he realized that it was the footsteps of a human.

But in such a deep mountain, the silence is so quiet that it makes people's backs chill, who dares to greet outsiders rashly?

So, he crept closer to the source of the sound, and found a limping man, walking with difficulty on the tree.

He was hesitating to show up, asking the man why he was here so late and why he was lame. Just when he hesitated, he didn't realize that the lame man had walked slower and slower, and then, the man suddenly turned around! An old and thin face appeared in A's eyes! Under the moonlight, that face is miserable and white, and it doesn't look like a person!

A was frightened and sat directly on the ground, but when he looked up, he found that the man who was lame appeared in front of him at this moment, stretched out his thin palm, and was ready to help him up.

"It's good to be here, to see someone." The lame man's voice is hoarse.

"You, what do you do?"

"I, I'm a backpacker on a mountain trip, I lost my crutches during the day, and I looked for them nearby."

"I, I'm also on an expedition, but I can't find a place to pitch my tent."

"And a companion?"

A: Actually, I don't want to, but I always feel that I can't refuse.

So, the two went together.

Soon they saw a tent, deep in the woods. But A thought the tent was very strange, shabby, tattered, not at all like it had been used by anyone in the last few days, no, something that no one had used in recent years.

But who would have thought that when he saw the tent, the lame man was very excited, and he walked forward quickly and rushed straight into the tent!

A moved nervously, and through the hole in the tent, he vaguely saw a human figure in it. So, he walked in a little more, and the human form became clearer and clearer, and he finally realized that it was not a person at all, but a dry skeleton that had been dead for an unknown amount of time! Next to the skeleton, there was a stick, and the lame man picked it up, with a twisted smile on his face: "Finally found, my ...... ...... crutches"

"Ahh A screamed and fled deep into the woods.

Listening to the footsteps gradually fade away, the lame man's weird smile gradually turned into a sneer, "Heh......"

He casually threw away the stick and began rummaging through the body of the remains for something of value. He was actually a tomb robber, and occasionally went to the mountains and forests to search for the corpses of explorers and find some belongings.

The lame man found a wallet on the corpse, bulging, and he was very happy, "It seems that today's work was not in vain!" ”

Opening the wallet and wiping off the dust, a photo appeared in front of his eyes, but looking at the photo, the smile that had just bloomed on the lame man's face gradually stiffened.

The person in the photo looks familiar, just like the one I just met......

At this moment, a cold hand suddenly fell on his shoulder!

Behind him, a faint voice came: "Brother, I'...... I suddenly remembered where I set up my tent......"
