I looked up and asked Xue Ning, "What is it?" Xue Ning shook his head; I don't know, I can't touch it, I have to get it all out so I can take a closer look. ”

The fat man also poked his head out from behind me to take a look, but there was really no place for him, so he simply put his hand into the water and touched it with half of his body exposed in the rain.

"Hey, really." The fat man was shocked.

I asked Xue Ning, "What's the matter, did you get it out or what?" Xue Ning said: "This thing is here, it should have a certain value, let's get it out and take a look." ”

The fat man and I had no opinion, so we were ready to start digging. But then another problem arises. After looking around, we found that there were no tools to dig the hole. The expedition team was equipped with military sapper shovels, which had been used in the previous cleaning of the silt ponds. But because we were just looking for someone, we didn't take that into account.

For a moment, the three of us looked at each other, and there was nothing we could do. Then the fat man said, "Why don't I cut down a few branches and make a living." At this time, there was no other way but to do as the fat man said.

The rain was still falling, and the fat man was going to cut some vines next to him, but after making a few of them, he found that it didn't work at all. The vines are just too soft. At this time, the fat man stared at the branches of the huge tree above his head.

The tree is about 50 meters tall, and its canopy is integrated with its surroundings. But fortunately, I could see that there were a few thick branches about fifteen or six or seven meters away. Then the fat man decided to climb up. But he tried a few more times on the vine outside, and within a few meters of climbing, the vine was too heavy to press down.

After a few times he was soaking wet, and when he returned to the recess, he spread his hands to me, as if to indicate that there was nothing he could do. My heart says; "I won't go up to your uncle." When I turned my head to look at Xue Ning, I saw him looking at me cheaply. I patted my head and had to say; "Okay, okay, okay, I'll do it."

Taking the fat man's Tibetan knife, I drilled out the groove. The fat man and Xue Ning gave me a positive look to cheer me on, it seems that they are cheating me. As soon as I got out of the groove, my whole body was already drenched in rain.

The vines were wet, and I grabbed them very slippery. Every step was extremely difficult, but I was still relatively light for the vines, and I quickly climbed more than ten meters in the heavy rain.

Once I was on my feet, I covered my forehead with my hand to keep the rain from hitting my eyes. Looking up, about three or four meters above my head, four or five branches the thickness of my arms popped up right there.

I was overjoyed, but at the same time I noticed that there was something strange above those branches. It's a little far away, and it's too dark to see what it is. Because it wasn't too dark when I came up, and I had to hold a knife, I didn't bring a flashlight.

I estimated that the pitch black thing was about twenty meters high. As soon as I thought that no matter what he was, I would solve the problem in front of me first, and then I continued to climb up.

The next section is not very easy, there are no vines gathered in patches. I almost slipped down a few times, and with great difficulty, I sat on a sturdy-looking branch.

It's hard to exert your strength when sitting across the trunk of a tree like this, but there's no other way. It is not known what kind of tree this tree is. The density of the wood was quite high, and it took half an hour to cut through it, and when I kicked it, the branches fell down with a click at the last joint. As soon as I landed, I heard a faint shouting from below, but I didn't hear it clearly when it was raining so much.

Just as I was about to move to the side, I heard a woman's laughter above me. I didn't hear it too well, thinking it was the sound of the windshield blowing against the leaves. Without paying attention to it, he climbed down, and as soon as his foot stepped on a vine below, suddenly there was another sound; "Hey, hey, hey." This time I heard it very clearly. It was a woman laughing not far above my head. My hairs instantly stood on end.

I was startled by the laughter, and the vines under my feet were so slippery that the soles of my feet were so soft that I slipped off. I secretly screamed in my heart that I was going to finish. That's a few milliseconds. I landed in the same place where the vines were dense before, and I had already caught a vine in my hand. I touched the knife on my waist, and it was still there. It's a shame that I just pinned the knife to my waist, otherwise the next two would have suffered now.

Just as I was thinking about it, there was another shrill woman's laughter above my head, this time clearer, and I didn't dare to stay here. In a hurry, he climbed down.

As soon as I arrived, I saw that the fat man was already cleaning the tiny branches of the branch, and I walked to the groove, and my legs trembled. The fat man saw that something was wrong with me and asked me what was wrong. I shuddered for a long time before I spoke; "Ghost ...... There's a ghost ...... on it."

The fat man seemed to be a little unconvinced, and at this moment, another woman's laughter came from above our heads: "Hey, hey, hey." ”

There was a flash of lightning in my brain, and my body trembled. The rain was still falling, and I could hear the sound of the raindrops hitting the ground, and I don't know if it was because I was soaked and cold or because of the laughter that had been heard a few times, and my body trembled all the time.

I am sure the two of them heard that laughter too, Xue Ning's face was already white at this time, and he froze to the side. The fat man's face also changed slightly, and the expression of mocking me just now was completely gone, and he looked at me with a blue face.

"Really...... Really ......"

I nodded silently in the affirmative. The fat man pulled the knife from my waist, "Let's go, let's see what kind of demon it is." ”

As he spoke, he got up and patted Xue Ning, who was sitting in a daze, and Xue Ning's head shook even more like a rattle. He didn't force it, so he pulled me and said; "Go up and have a look." I was scared but there was someone around, and the fear disappeared a little. When the fat man and I were about to climb up. The fat man turned around and said coldly; "Beware of being caught by a female ghost."

When Xue Ning heard this, he saw him trembling all over, and suddenly got up and ran in small steps.

"I've thought about it, so let's go with you." A forced smile appeared on Xue Ning's face.

After climbing a few meters, I noticed that something was wrong, "Aren't you unable to climb up?" ”

The fat man's face showed a little embarrassment, "Eh, yes, why did you suddenly climb up." ”

I wanted to scold that this product was just pretended, but before the words could be spoken, he interrupted, "Listen." I thought it was the weird laugh of a woman, so I stopped to listen. But nothing else was heard except the sound of rain.

I sighed and had to let him go this time. The three of us climbed to the place where I was cutting the branches, and Xue Ning had been cowering and hiding behind, and the fat man said; "It's just laughter, and it can eat you." Xue Ning didn't answer, but still followed us.

The fat man's flashlight shone up, and it shone on the strange black shadow I had seen earlier. The rain didn't mean to stop, it seemed to be a little heavier. I dimly saw that the place where the flashlight light hit was actually a platform made of several gray-white stones inserted into the trunk of a tree.

Looking up from where we stood, we couldn't see anything on the stone bar. The fat man looked at it and said; "Let's go, climb up and have a look." I looked at the slick trunks, which were at least a meter or more apart between the two closest branches.

"How can I jump, I'm not Tarzan of the Apes." I looked at the tree trunks that were several meters apart, and my heart felt a little weak.

"Alas! You have to believe in yourself, human potential is great. "The fat man did a few stretches in the rain, and the movements were very funny. I secretly scolded your uncle. I know very well how many pounds and taels I have. Just thinking about it, the fat man had already climbed onto a tree branch, and urged Xue Ning and me to hurry up.

I had no choice but to cry out and follow, and when I got up to the thick branch, I saw the fat man make two gestures, shout, and jump over. Looking at his body shape, I didn't expect him to be like this at all, I thought to myself, is he really swallow Li San possessed. When the fat man got there, he yelled at me to jump.

"I said hurry up, I'll catch you."

I saw him reach out and get ready to catch me, gritted his teeth and was ready to jump, kicking the trunk under his feet with his legs and lunging forward. As soon as I arrived in the air, I heard Xue Ning behind me say something. But at this point I had already jumped out and only heard a "wait".

When he called me like this, my strength decreased a little, but fortunately, the fat man grabbed my arm in time and didn't fall. I was pulled up by the fat man on a branch, and after the panic, I shouted at Xue Ning, who was still there, "What are you talking about?" ”

"I mean, don't we have rope?" As soon as I heard it, I scolded myself for being a "fool", how could I forget this stubble. So he told him to go down and get it, but he shook his head and refused to go down. Let him jump over, and he shook his head.

"I'll be right here, you guys can go up." Xue Ning waved his hand at us, and we couldn't force him to come up. I had to help each other with the fat man until we reached the bottom of the stone platform.

When I got here, I found that the stone of the stone platform was not gray-white but pure black, because the distance below was too far, coupled with the irradiation of natural light, so I saw some whitish below. The black stone looks very ugly, and the surface is very irregular, but you can see the marks of the tool chiseling.

The fat man paced a few steps under the stone platform, and then flew up and jumped up. I didn't have the skills, so I had to pull me up after he went up. The stone platform is made of several stone strips, and there is a gap about half a fist in the middle. There are nine stone strips, which are inserted into the trunk to form a fan.

When I came up, I found that there was nothing on the stone platform. At the end of the tree near the trunk there is a tree hole more than two meters high and more than one meter wide. The fat man and I went over there. During this time, the fat man also jumped a few times to test the strength of the stone platform, and as soon as he jumped the ground, he shook up and down twice. I hurriedly asked him to stop, the fat man should weigh three hundred pounds, don't trample on this. More than 30 meters high, falling down is not a joke.
