We are like ghosts walking through the mountains, where mountains are connected to mountains, clouds to clouds, and the only thing that makes us familiar is the river that is dozens of feet below our feet.

We walked along the only road in the mountains for nearly three days, until at the end, the stone path that was still more than one person wide was gone, and the only thing that could guide us was a few stone slabs that seemed to be laid manually, and yellow mud footprints that did not appear until the second half.

I relayed the story I heard from Old Man Shen to Jiang Huai, and it seemed that there was no point in verifying which was true or false when I jumped out of the window, but now, these scattered yellow mud footprints still remain on the ground...... Could it be that what Old Man Shen said is still true?

The mud footprints will never extend along the road all the time, this thing is worn, and the part on the leg of the shoe will be left somewhat, but the soles of the feet will disappear completely after walking for a long time.

According to what Old Man Shen said, Huang Can's people will take turns to enter the mountain, and one entry and exit is basically three or four days up, and there are longer ones. If this is true, it now seems that we are on the same path as theirs.

I glanced at Jiang Huai, who was resting on the damp cliff, thought about it in my heart, didn't wait any longer, and asked it: "You guys came in with Huang Can's people early, and they left very early, so I haven't seen you before dawn that day, but according to the time, how to go, you can't be fished out of the river that night and washed downstream by the water." Whether it's in terms of distance or time, it doesn't make sense. ”

These are very subtle questions, and the footprints of the yellow mud and the people covered in mud, I have not seen what those people look like, and now these footprints appear, and who left them, it seems that there is nowhere to trace. But here you can't think about it carefully, the source of the yellow mud must be Huang Can's destination, of course, it is also ours at the same time, if you think so, it seems that as long as we reach the place where there is yellow mud, we seem to be able to find some truth that explains all the problems, but where is this place, the road is far away, and it is not impossible to continue to go down, just come and go, and I don't know how long it will be before we will return to this place, I am a little distressed, and I have been following them for three days before I found out this problem, It's just that these people are willing to go around in circles here, and they don't know what their intentions are.

Jiang Huai didn't answer my question, he pinched off the damp cigarette in his hand, which was often shrouded in clouds and moisture, and our clothes were always wet.

The few of us didn't say much, Jiang Huai wanted to continue walking, indicating that there would be other problems in the future. After walking for nearly half a day, Jiang Huai finally stopped, the surrounding environment did not change at all, the river was turbulent, and the sound had been completely adapted to us.

Although I know the general meaning of Jiang Huai, but I still don't really understand what he wants to say, I didn't find a clue around, after thinking about it, I asked him again: "You don't say it, just bury your head and go, do you want to actually try to see if this place has imperceptibly prompted us to turn back, once or twice may be an illusion caused by man, by now, why should we walk three laps?" I said my guess in a somewhat unconfident tone, but Jiang Huai didn't speak as usual, but turned his head to look at the edge of the path, I looked over and looked straight for three seconds, and finally made out something from the grass, which was half a cigarette butt that had been completely soaked by the water.

I recognized that the half of the soaked cigarette was the kind that Jiang Huai smoked, and then turned to look at him, and asked again: "There are so many methods, you have to take so many roads, don't tell me, this is taking the opportunity to take revenge." "I understood Jiang Huai's thoughts, and immediately understood our current situation, I didn't worry much about the results in the future, but if we have been taking the wrong road, then how to go in the future.

Jiang Huai and the three of them followed a group of people in Huang Can's team into the mountain that morning, all the way to the avenue, but in the end they were completely separated from the team in front of them on the winding mountain road, they seemed to have lost the trace of Huang Can's team in an instant, in fact, at that time, these people were not worried, there was only one road in the mountain, but it was a difference between fast and slow, but they went all the way to the sky and darkness, but they did not catch up with the people in front, and they also found a big problem at the same time, not just that they couldn't catch up, Even walking back, it seems like walking through an endless fog, and you don't know it at all. Write a book

Finding me drifting down was a very test of luck. When Jiang Huai and the three of them realized that they couldn't get out of this section of the mountain road either forward or back, they couldn't help but turn their hope to the turbulence under their feet, in fact, this road was also the only feasible path besides crossing the mountain road. On the opposite side was exactly the same dense forest hillside, and up there was a cloud cliff, and there was almost no hope of climbing, and the three of them found me going down the river at the place where they went into the water, and until I woke up, I never moved my position again.

"The road we have walked in the past three days is not meaningless, the repetition part needs to be measured, and the number of repetitions also needs time to be confirmed, so far, we are returning to the original point for the fifth time."

I recalled the road of the first three days in my mind, and I really didn't take these problems into account at the time, I just felt that following Jiang Huai was a little farther away, and now I can't help but regret why I didn't ask what the situation was at that time, no wonder these people have been going out for a day and a night, and finally I bumped into them.

"Will it be a hidden path, or simply a deliberately hidden fork in the road, this road I estimate is a mountain ring road on a single mountain, maybe the exit is connected to another mountain, let's ......" I was talking, only half the way, but I found a flaw, this is absolutely impossible, not only did I not find a change in the topography of the mountain, even if it was them, I think it should have been earlier than I found the problem, but now not only did they not go out, Are there any other feasible ways to turn back and be willing to spend such a long time experimenting again and again, it seems that I still don't know these people, and his mother's superfluous emotions have no corresponding facial expression, so I thought that the other party was confident, and now it seems that these people, their faces, seem to be the most dangerous signal.

"I understand the first half of your thoughts, but it doesn't seem to have any effect now, just going around in circles here, the key is how to get out, it's been three days, these three days are not long, and they are not short, if we are just in time for the most critical time, I'm afraid the daylily will be cold." And there's a big deal. "I looked around and inspected Jiang Huai and the three of them, but they were all carrying their bags, but they were already deflated, they didn't bring much supplies at the beginning, I'm afraid that if we go around for a few more days, we will have to gnaw on the bark and leaves.

"What should I do......" Jiang Huai muttered to himself, and then looked up at me in an instant, with a strange expression on his face, with a curvature at the corner of his mouth, a little like a smirk, he kept that expression and looked at me for two or three seconds, and then turned his face and asked me: "Do you believe that ghosts hit the wall?" ”

I was choked by these words, I really didn't expect the other party to start playing with these things. I was stunned for a long time, I didn't find a similar experience in my mind for a long time, and finally I really didn't want to let the few available resources to work together to engage in feudal superstition, I didn't want to be hungry and couldn't walk at the end, and I had to come to a funny scene of cutting clothes and burning paper money for the old ghost, so I didn't say much, I shook my head directly and said: "It's not that I'm about to die, and even if there are ghosts, how awesome are you, how dare any ghosts come to you, let's not think about it in that way, How to climb up the total amount as soon as possible is the real thing. ”

I don't mean to talk nonsense after the fact, climbing up the mountain beam is actually not impossible, it's just a matter of exhaustion, but the effort spent here is not something that can be eaten by us for a while, the mountain beam is at least a few hundred meters away from us from our angle, we feel that the pressure is tight, the mountain seems to be about to fall, and if you want to climb, it is not just a simple thing to get rid of the difficulty in terms of physical strength and technology.

"Okay, put this one aside for the time being, and there is no need to mention it until the last breath before death." After Jiang Huai finished speaking, he turned his head to look at the other two people. At this time, I instantly understood what Jiang Huai meant, this is to eliminate the possibility that is not conducive to the final experimental results, in fact, hand experiments, to the end of the complete whole experiment and pre-made guesses, so, narrow down the range of possibilities, my head instantly cleared, it seems that I was knocked out of the water after jumping out of the window, it took several days to understand such a simple thing.

I still don't realize the current crisis, in fact, it also comes from the long distance in the process of putting all the ideas on how to keep going, my head is empty, until not long ago, I inexplicably learned about the embarrassing situation with the help of others, this is also a helpless thing, for the pain caused by the crisis has not yet put myself in the shoes of the crisis, this can not let me actively mobilize the nerves in the whole body to give a response.

"I don't think it can be a psychedelic drug in the first place, we have been in an open space, and we are very careful to track, those people will not be too easy to find us, so they will not stumble on us, I believe that there will be artificially built secret doors on the mountain road, the plants here are too dense, as long as the camouflage is appropriate, and then build a circular route that is difficult to find and enter the fork, so I still think that just trying to get out is nothing more than two roads," the person who first put forward his guess looked at the top of the mountain at first sight, And the second glance was thrown towards the river at the bottom of the valley, and this man's thoughts were probably similar to mine, and I inevitably stood silently looking for another way out, first getting out and then from the queue of long-term deliberations.
