By car, at about three o'clock in the afternoon, Pumpkin and I arrived at Niujiao Mountain.

Although it is not a weekend, Niujiao Mountain is still full of tourists, and many important attractions are full of people. There are also many people who take commemorative photos. Since we didn't eat in the morning or noon, pumpkin and I ate a little in front of a small stall selling tea eggs.

After eating and paying, we started walking up Oxhorn Mountain.

Niujiao Mountain is very large, with lush forests and peaks.

On the way up the mountain, we met the caretaker of a scenic spot. At this time, most of the tourists are going down the mountain, and Pumpkin and I are going up. This caught the attention of the steward.

The caretaker of this scenic spot wears a small yellow hat with the words "Niujiao Mountain" embroidered on it, and an armband on his arm.

"Hey! ...... You two and so on. ”

The caretaker stopped me and the pumpkin.

Pumpkin and I looked at each other, and then, with a forced smile, I asked, "You called us?" ”

The caretaker of the scenic spot nodded: "Yes, it's you who are called." It's going to be dark soon, and it's not right for you to go up the mountain at this time, and before you reach the top of the mountain, I'm afraid it'll be completely dark. There is no place to stay on the mountain, and if you go up like this, I am afraid that it will be dangerous. ”

Dangerous?

I'm dying, and I'm afraid of danger?!

However, the administrator of the scenic spot is also kind.

I tried my best to keep myself relaxed, but in my heart I couldn't relax because of Li Yan and the ghost baby.

"It's okay, big brother, don't worry, we'll just go up and have a look. If it's late, we'll get down early. I said so.

The Administrator looked at me and the pumpkin suspiciously.

Maybe he didn't see anything wrong, he nodded and reminded: "Okay, then you guys be careful, you must pay attention to safety." It is necessary to find the path of the plank road, do not walk randomly, so as not to enter the undeveloped place of the scenic spot and avoid getting lost. ”

I smiled and nodded, and then I was leaving.

However, the pumpkin whispered to me: "Brother Qin, you are not sure where the cabin is, why don't you ask the administrator of this scenic spot, he is staying here, maybe he knows where the cabin is!" ”

If you think about pumpkins, I think that's right.

The steward was about to go down the mountain, but I stopped him.

"Uncle, wait a minute."

The Administrator turned his head, frowning slightly, staring at me and the pumpkin, "What?" You two little guys, is there anything else? ”

Well, Pumpkin and I are really little guys in the eyes of Uncle Administrator.

I smiled and said, "Uncle, I want to ask you something." ”

Uncle Administrator raised his head happily: "Okay, then you can say it, see if I know." If you think of a certain location on Cowhorn Mountain, I can still tell you. I have been in Niujiao Mountain for almost 20 years, and no one knows the mountains and rivers here better than me. ”

Although Uncle Administrator's words are suspected of bragging, it doesn't look like he's lying.

"Thank you, uncle! ....... I just wanted to ask, in the middle of the plank road, near the plank road near the 'Ten Thousand Flowers Forest', do you know that there is a small cabin? The boards of the wooden house were black, and an ugly man lived inside, and possibly a coffin was placed inside. ”

I thought Uncle Administrator should know.

But after thinking about it for a while, he said affirmatively: "There is no such place in Niujiao Mountain. I'm most familiar with this place, even if it's the 'Ten Thousand Flowers Forest', I often go there. There are no wooden houses built in the vicinity. ”

"As for the ugly people you say, there is no such thing. But listening to what you mean, it seems that you didn't come here to play in Niujiao Mountain, so you shouldn't have any intentions, right? ”

Forehead!

It's as if Pumpkin and I weren't good people.

"Uncle, how can you say that, my brother Qin and I are both serious college students, what can we do. Are we going to steal the flowers and plants of your Oxhorn Mountain? ”

With that, Pumpkin took out his student ID and handed it to Uncle Administrator.

Uncle Administrator was not polite, took the pumpkin's student ID card and looked at it, and carefully looked at the pumpkin.

After a while, he nodded and said with a smile: "It turns out that you are students in the university town!" ...... Okay, then I got it. You guys have fun, just don't walk around if you're fine, and remember to go down the mountain early. ”

After the caretaker finished speaking, he walked down the mountain.

Pumpkin looked at me, shrunk her neck, and said helplessly: "Brother Qin, let's go, it seems that he doesn't know, we can only go to the wooden house you said by ourselves." ”

I didn't say anything, but in my heart I felt that something was wrong.

Uncle Administrator has been here for so long, if that wooden house exists, he should know something about it. But he didn't know it, which struck me as inexplicable.

At the beginning, Li Yan and I came out of that wood, and after walking for a while, we came to the Wanhua Forest in the middle of the plank road in Niujiao Mountain.

Speaking of Wanhualin, it's nothing, it's just a sea of flowers.

There are flowers and plants transplanted from all over the country, and most of them have adapted to the environment of Niujiao Mountain, and they are growing well and blooming luxuriantly.

As soon as the pumpkin and I arrived here, we smelled the mellow fragrance.

However, the Ten Thousand Flowers Forest was surrounded by lush trees, and for a while, I really couldn't tell which direction Li Yan and I came from.

Halfway through, the pumpkin and I were so tired that we were already wheezing, so we had to find a rock to rest our feet for a while.

"Brother Qin, where are we going later?"

Pumpkin asked me.

I observed the environment outside, and I didn't have a clue in my mind. The direction seems to be north, but the south is also possible.

Fortunately, I found the path I had taken Li Yan into the jungle.

"It's there!"

"Wait, let's go that way."

I lifted my finger and pointed.

Pumpkin Hey Hey: "Okay!" Knowing the direction, we'll be able to find it. ”

He's still so grinning, it must be terrible to know that ugly weirdo and that ghost baby. However, pumpkin's mentality is also good.

After a short break, I took the pumpkin through the "Ten Thousand Flowers Forest" and walked towards a path.

The trail is flat and mostly gravel. Probably because there used to be a small stream here, the soil on the ground was moist and a little loose, and it was soft for your feet to step on.

Soon, I determined the location that was convenient for Li Yan at the beginning.

"Let's go, go that way."

I pointed in the direction again.

Pumpkin looked nervous and followed me closely.

The two of us went into the woods.

I handed the fruit knife to the pumpkin and found a thicker wooden stick in my hand. This is done to avoid any problems.

It was a little after half past four in the afternoon.

The sun was sufficient, but there was no wind in the forest, and there were trees and unknown flowers everywhere.

We headed north, trying not to change direction as much as possible.

The sunlight is blocked by the leaves, but it is much cooler.

But this coolness makes me nervous.

A fine layer of sweat appeared in the palms of my hands holding the wooden sticks. My eyes watched the surroundings vigilantly, for fear that the ghost baby would suddenly rush out and pounce on us.

Li Yandu became a ghost, and she said that the ghost baby killed her. I don't know what the ghost baby looks like, but Li Yan said so, it shouldn't be true.

So I had to be very careful with the pumpkin.

To my surprise, the stinging sensation from the curse on my body hadn't reappeared since I entered Oxhorn Mountain. It's weird. However, the dark spots are still spreading.

Now I have a little bit of a dark spot on my arm. If it weren't for the clothes, it would be quite scary.

"Brother Qin, are you ...... Are you sure the cabin is in that direction? ”

Pumpkin asked again.

Actually, I wasn't sure, but in order to calm his emotions, I nodded.

Seeing me nodding, Pumpkin said uneasily, "But Brother Qin, what if we meet that ghost baby?" You don't really want to catch him, do you? Can we be the match for the ghost baby? ...... His name, 'Ghost Baby', sounds weird and scary. ”

The pumpkin chattered for a long time, and I didn't reply to his words.

Suddenly, there was a tremor in the grass in front of me.

"Mom! There's something there! ”

The pumpkin screamed, like a frightened rabbit, and scurried up to me.

I was also a little nervous, and my nerves immediately tensed.

"Don't! ...... Don't be afraid, it's not a ghost baby. ”

I comfort the pumpkin.

Then, I walked over to the bush and slowly picked it apart a little with the stick of wood in my hand.

When I saw that thing, I breathed a sigh of relief.

It's not a ghost baby, it's a snake of color!

The snake is not big, but the flower color is very bright, and the body surface is spotted, and it looks numb and leprosy.

"Brother Qin, this snake should be poisonous! ... The brighter the snake, the more venomous, don't go over, go back. ”

Pumpkin reminded me.

But I don't know what's going on, but I feel very uncomfortable and angry.

Isn't it just a snake that wants to block my way?

Lao Tzu is at this point, are you still afraid of death?!

"Pumpkin, you get up, I'll deal with this snake."

I gritted my teeth and said in a deep voice.

Pumpkin hurriedly said, "Don't, Brother Qin, we can go around." You don't have to get along with a little snake. ”

But at the time, I was just stubborn and wanted to kill the snake.

Perhaps sensing the murderous aura on me, or perhaps frightened, the flower snake actually slid towards me and the pumpkin.

The letter in its mouth spit out and spit out, and the snake's body slid and made a "rubbing" sound.

"Stand back, it's coming! ...... Hurry back! I exclaimed.

I didn't expect that the flower snake would want to kill me.

As the pumpkin says, the snake must be poisonous.

If we get bitten, we won't even be able to get to the hospital.

"Hiss!"

The snake hyacinth is still swallowing.

The pumpkin was very fast and ran to the side of a tree.

I moved cautiously backwards, but the flower snake had already rushed up.

Before I could think about it, I picked up the wooden stick in my hand.

"Bang bang bang! ......”

The wooden stick slammed hard against the bushes, but it didn't hit the snake.

The flower snake seemed to be provoked by me, and the snake stood up, its mouth slightly open, revealing a row of fangs inside.

Its small, dark eyes stared at me without emotion.

Perhaps in its eyes, I am an aggressor.

"Brother Qin, come over quickly! Don't be stupid to stand there......"

The pumpkin called me eagerly.

But I can't back now, I'm very close to this flower snake. If I retreated, it probably thought I was scared of it and would pounce on me.

If I do get bitten, I'm hopeless.

So I didn't move.

The beads of sweat the size of beans on his forehead rolled down.

And just like that, I confronted the flower snake.

The wooden stick in my hand was clenched tightly, and there was a fierce look in my eyes.
