Chapter 63: Crying at the Devil's Mountain
He had just helped Huang Na change the medicine, and Wei Yan and the others came back, and they also picked some wild fruits by the way.
Huang Na didn't have much appetite, so she couldn't eat it after eating one or two bites, and the rest of the wild fruits were all eaten by Xu Ran.
After replenishing their energy, several people walked for several hours in one go, and finally arrived at the foot of Devil's Mountain before dark.
This Devil's Mountain is a high mountain in this area, with an altitude of nearly 1,000 meters, covering a large area, and the mountain is covered with dense jungle with lush branches and leaves, covering almost the entire mountain.
And Xu Ran just glanced at the mountain in front of him, and then followed Wei Yan and they began to set up tents.
They must spend the night here tonight, and tomorrow morning they will be able to climb over the mountain.
After setting up the tent, Xu Ran took care of the sick Huang Na in the tent.
She was still having a high fever, and her whole body was much haggard, so Xu Ran could only stay by her side in order to take care of her.
The sky soon darkened, and at seven or eight o'clock, Uncle Li and Wei Yan found dry firewood and lit a fire seven or eight meters away from the tent.
It's very lively at night in the jungle, and there are insects calling everywhere, but occasionally there are strange sounds, like birds and cats, which sound quite terrible.
Xu Ran and the others sat by the fire and discussed for a while, and finally decided that Xu Ran, Wei Yan and Uncle Li would go to the vigil, as for Huang Na, she was now a sick person and a woman, so she could only stay in the tent to rest.
They set up a total of three tents, one for Wei Yan and one for Uncle Li, while Xu Ran slept with Huang Na. However, Xu Ran did not have this plan, he was used to the dark night, and it would not be a problem to take a nap outside.
In the first half of the night, Uncle Li and Wei Yan were basically keeping vigil, and in the second half of the night, it was Xu Ran.
In the tent, Xu Ran glanced at the sleeping Huang Na, then opened the tent, and then walked to the fire and said to Wei Yan, who was keeping vigil.
"Go back and rest, now it's my turn."
Wei Yan heard Xu Ran's voice, and suddenly looked at the mobile phone in his hand, which was only eleven o'clock.
"It's not time for a shift change yet." He said to Xu Ran with a snort.
"I know." Xu Ran said, and then sat next to Wei Yan, "You have to go early tomorrow morning, you should rest early." ”
Wei Yan wanted to say something, but was sent away by Xu Ran.
Late night soon came, and no one knew what would happen next. Xu Ran climbed to a big tree, snuggled up to the branches, and quietly looked at the fire that was burning below.
For a while, he was a little distracted.
He saw the good memories of the past, and saw a girl leaning on his shoulder with a loving face.
Suddenly, a small voice came from Xu Ran's side, and he immediately woke up from his memories.
When he looked back, it was Huang Na sitting on a branch next to him.
She still looks a little sluggish, but being able to climb this big tree proves that she has no problem now.
"Why are you here, why don't you have a good rest." Xu Ran's voice was slightly reproachful.
But Huang Na didn't eat it.
"Why can you come, can't I come!" There was a hint of anger in her tone, which made Xu Ran very embarrassed.
She is right, the two are not related, and they really can't control others.
But since she said that sentence, Xu Ran couldn't help but feel depressed.
It is said that a woman turns her face faster than a book, and he has seen it today.
When he was sick, he was like a sheep, very docile. But when he was cured, he was like a tiger; Not even a word of thanks.
But at this moment, he glanced at it and suddenly found a trace of strangeness on Huang Jing's face.
She was still so beautiful, but there seemed to be two more marks on her face.
It was clearly two tear stains.
It seems that she had secretly cried in the tent before.
For whom?
Himself?
So he vetoed it, because he hadn't known Huang Na for a few days.
"Your injuries are all right!" Xu Ran had no choice but to change the topic.
Huang Na shook her head.
"I'm fine!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly heard the cry of a little girl not far away.
Suddenly, both of them looked at each other and looked in the direction from which the voice came with a puzzled expression.
It was swarthy, and there was no movement at all, not like a place where a sound came from.
If a person hears it wrong, it means that there is something wrong with the person. If two people can hear at the same time, there is something wrong with the place.
The two of them didn't have time to think before they jumped from the tree.
Xu Ran walked ahead first, and walked cautiously towards the dark place.
But Huang Na followed behind Xu Ran, her eyes staring at the place where the sound came from just now.
The road ahead was getting darker and darker, but the crying was like a flash in the pan, and the two of them walked for a while without hearing that sound again.
So both of them couldn't help but look at each other.
"Did we all hear it wrong?" Huang Na looked at Xu Ran suspiciously.
saw Xu Ran shook his head and said, "No, we are neither auditory hallucinations nor ear problems." It's that there's something in there. ”
"How do you know?" Huang Na stared at Xu Ran with a solemn face with a pair of curious eyes.
But seeing Xu Ran looking in that direction, he was very sure: "I smell blood." ”
As soon as these words came out, Huang Na's expression instantly became solemn, and she looked at Xu Ran, as if she was curious about how Xu Ran smelled that smell.
Is it a dog nose?
But I saw Xu Ran suddenly speak: "Let's go over and have a look!" You have to be careful, too. ”
As Xu Ran's figure disappeared in front of him, Huang Na also followed.
Along the way, there are barren grass and trees everywhere. The two of them walked for a while before they stopped.
But it was Xu Ran who found that there was a deep pit in front of him.
And Huang Na saw Xu Ran stop, couldn't help but be curious, and also walked to his side.
I was dumbfounded.
I saw below, in the faint light, emitting a reddish-brown liquid, and on top of the liquid there were countless corpses, which looked like people, but the light was weak, and the two of them couldn't see it very clearly.
So what is it exactly?
No one could answer their questions, and only by looking at them could they know whether the corpses floating below were of other animals or humans.
So the two nodded at the same time, and Xu Ran took the lead.
As soon as he walked below, Xu Ran's face suddenly startled.
It seems that those unbearable memories have resurfaced.
What did he see!
The dense floating corpses were actually children's.
Who the hell is it that has lost his conscience and made such a tragic scene.
Huang Na also came down, and when she saw this scene, her heart seemed to be pinched, and she was a little out of breath in pain.
The corpse smelled foul and foul, and countless maggots crawled around on the carrion.
Huang Na looked at it for a while, felt nauseous, and couldn't help but go up first.
And Xu Ran stood there quietly, looking at the corpse floating in the sea of blood, with a lot of thoughts.
He still remembers this scene vividly.
It was a world made of corpses, where there was no hatred, no desire, only the instinct to survive, the desire for life.
That is the world of purgatory, the cage of death.
