"Do you know, there are some unknown things hidden in the mountains, they are ancient and mysterious, I don't know when they were born, hidden in the dense primeval forest......

These are the words that my grandfather used to say to me when he was alive.

My grandfather was one of the first people to come into contact with this strange "thing".

In the sixties of the last century, it was a golden age of the rise of forestry.

A large forest farm is in charge of the entire mountainous area, and there are at least three or four hundred people working in it.

After the National Day in 1965, my grandfather was assigned to a place called Lao Yunling in the mountains of southern Gannan with a group of old comrades-in-arms.

One stay is twelve years.

During these twelve years, they came into contact with the oldest and most mysterious thing in the mountain......

For twelve years, no one made it out alive.

There are even some people who have not come out of there until now.

The first person who wanted to leave was a guy named Shen Hai, because of his big head, his grandfather called him a big head in private.

In 1967, Datou was introduced to a marriage by his family in the mountains, and just when he was about to resign and leave the ravine, something happened.

His fiancée pushed open the door in the middle of the night from her sleep and somehow ran into the garbage guys' houses in the city.

No one dared to ask what happened that night, because the woman jumped into the river the next day.

According to the woman's personality and upbringing, as well as various reasons such as the approaching wedding date, everything is outrageously creepy.

This incident was very sensational at the time, and it was even thought that it was the five ghosts moving the corpse.

The big head with a dead heart has never been out of this mountain again.

At that time, when I heard my grandfather talk about this, I didn't believe it, shouldn't this terrifying mountain seal off those who want to leave? How did it end up that the people outside the mountain went crazy?

There are so many coincidences that we can't assume that another is illusory because of one coincidence, right?

However, Grandpa shook his head.

The second person who wanted to leave was a fat man named Wang Ming.

In the winter of 1968, heavy snowfall covered the mountains and the rivers froze.

At the end of the month, the finance of the forest farm signed the salary schedule, the cashier paid the salary, and the night was approaching, and the workers were ready to go back to the shack to sleep.

When I went back, I found that there was only one person missing, and that was the fat man.

The things in the fat man's house have been packed in large bags and small bags, and his bags are neat, and he looks like he wants to leave the mountain, but the person is gone.

It was getting dark, and there was heavy snow outside, and if it was night, I was afraid that I would freeze to death outside.

So everyone turned on the flashlight and looked for it inside and out.

Soon, under the light of the flashlight, a series of footprints were found on the silver-white layer of snow.

The feet are broad, and it is obvious that he is fat.

Everyone chased after each other and found out that something was wrong......

The originally distinct footprint marks suddenly turned into two lines, drawn on the ground, and ploughed out two deep snow marks!

It's like a person walking upright, and suddenly he is strangled by a person without feet and dragged along......

Everyone present felt creepy, and the back of their spine seemed to be scratched by an extra finger out of thin air, and they were covered in white sweat.

Time waits for no one, everyone can only bite the bullet and follow the footprints and move forward.

Two thin plough marks, after a while, suddenly turned into a long strip of imprints six or seven meters wide.

The mark was so wide that everyone stood on it and felt small.

A question suddenly pressed on the top of everyone's heads, making them unable to breathe-

This imprint, what kind of creature made the footprint......

"Hiss......"

Everyone present couldn't help but gasp.

"It's a python...... Legend has it that the big python that has become a fine can suck people in the air, and the fat man ...... I was sucked by that thing! ”

At this time, someone said in horror.

Everyone suddenly had a numb scalp and didn't dare to go any further.

At this time, my grandfather's eyes were sharp, and he saw a blurred figure from a distance, and said loudly: "Look at it, what is that!" ”

Everyone became vigilant, narrowed their eyes, and vaguely saw the shadow of a person.

Under the wind and snow, everyone followed the snake mark and ran towards the shadow.

I saw that the shadow was the body of the fat man.

The fat man didn't know what he had experienced before he died, his body was more than doubled, curled up in an inhuman shape, wrapped in a layer of foul-smelling saliva, his eyes were wide, and his mouth was wide open, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying.

The people present were so frightened that they had no master, and so did my grandfather, who had goosebumps all over his body, and hurriedly looked around.

I saw that the traces of the snake had disappeared near the mountain forest, and the location where they and the fat man's bodies were located was not far from the mountain forest.

The giant snake was as terrifying and terrifying as the night, and everyone didn't dare to stay any longer, so they went back the way they came, and they didn't even dare to take the fat man's corpse......

The mountain god sealed the door, and the grandfather was sealed in the mountain for twelve years.

Over the past 12 years, the number of people in the old Yunling Forest Farm has always remained at 12 people.

During this period, it was not that no one thought of escaping the mountain during the holidays, but soon all kinds of horrific deaths came.

My grandfather too, except that he escaped and the others suffered.

At that time, my grandmother was already married, and seeing that my grandfather had never been able to return home, it was not a solution.

So my grandmother made some connections everywhere, and finally got a place for external transfer, and after several operations, soon, grandpa's transfer notice came down.

However, the turn of events came to an ......

When the notice was issued, the comrade who handed over the notice disappeared during the transportation and completely lost his trace, and the piece of paper that liberated my grandfather seemed to have been directly erased from this world.

When the approver issued the second notice, he suddenly fell ill and died on the second day.

Lest something happen to my grandmother, my grandfather wrote a letter to the past despite the obstruction of the two families, and completely broke off the idea of leaving the mountain.

"Mountain...... in making us a part of it. ”

I will always remember the look on my grandfather's face when he said this.

His cloudy eyes were filled with thick fear, and the hand holding the old smoking pot trembled slightly.

Of course, these are memories that I later put together, so they are extremely clear.

If it weren't for the fact that I was later swept into a dark swamp and fell deeper and deeper, I might never have remembered these words from my grandfather.

What happened on the eve of Grandpa's death was also very strange.

At that time, my grandfather's blood pressure plummeted and he fell into a deep sleep, and my father and my uncle were so distraught that they quickly called the doctor.

The doctor blessed the grandfather with medicine, but the condition was still not very good, and all organs in the grandfather's body began to fail.

At this time, Grandpa suddenly opened his eyes, grabbed my hand, and said two words.

The two people present did not understand the word.

What he said was......

"Key ......"

None of the people present knew what the "key" that Grandpa meant by that.

The doctor explained that the words spoken before death were a mixture of memories and imaginations, most likely a reminder that a door in the home was unlocked.

Of course, I'm completely too lazy to listen to this nonsense.

At that time, I was not very old, I stood on the spot, looking at my grandfather who was breathing, I did not shed tears, nor did I cry.

In my mind, inexplicably sounded the words that my grandfather had inadvertently said to me alone......

"Actually, we have been mistaken, it is not a mountain at all, and if you want to keep us, let us die...... Nor is it a mountain. ”
