Chapter 151: The Mysterious Red Box
"Occasionally, a few wealthy villagers don't care, violate the taboo, and get seriously ill!"
"But we're lucky, but I'm afraid that the outsiders will sail the boat, and some of them won't get in."
"It's basically like this, except for that incident....." The fourth looked like he was about to speak, and was immediately interrupted by Lin Dahe's coughing twice, and then the fourth child was silent.
I looked at the fourth child with a surprised face, and asked again: "Did something happen before?" ”
The fourth child looked at me with a hesitant expression, probably considering whether to tell me about it.
I stared at him for a moment, waiting for his answer.
Suddenly, I felt an oppressive gaze shining straight at me.
I turned my head to see that Lin Dahe was staring at me with a very strange look, and there were too many hidden things in that look that I couldn't understand. He lit another cigarette and threw me a sentence in the smoke: "Don't be curious about things you shouldn't know." ”
I was choked and had nothing to say, and when the fourth child saw this, he had to continue rowing, as if he said to himself: "I can't remember, I've been rowing here for all these years, so long!" How can I remember. ”
Hearing him say this, I had to keep silent and stretch up my arms to look at the scenery along the way.
There are some things in my mind, and it's too early to ask about them.
After a while, the fourth brother brought the boat to the shore, stretched out his finger, and not far away the towering mountain surrounded by dense woods, and said to me, "That is the Northern Mountain." ”
I looked in the direction he was pointing in, and the mist-shrouded peaks filled with a mysterious atmosphere, but it inexplicably gave me a sense of oppression, making me feel that the road to finding the box this time would not be easy.
"Let's go, let's take a look around."
Lin Dahe walked in the front, I followed, and the fourth child also tied the boat to a tree by the river and followed.
"You just left the boat there?"
The fourth grinned and waved at me: "You don't have to worry about this, we have our rules, whose boat is who's, if you take something that doesn't belong to you, you will be punished." ”
So saying, he bolted the boat.
Let me taste a different meaning from the words of the fourth child, but because of Lin Dahe, I didn't ask.
But I vaguely feel that there must have been a lot of strange things happening in the northern mountains.
Otherwise, why would all the people in the village strictly follow these rules?
But I don't know the answer to this question.
The main purpose of my visit to the Northern Mountains this time was to find the box that the great god Ququ had told me.
The contents of that box were probably related to my father's purpose, and I had to be careful. Thinking so, I kept up with the pace of the fourth.
After walking along the river for half a day, I noticed that the environment around me had not changed much, as if I had been standing still. "Is this an island?" I asked the question in my mind.
Lin Dahe paused, glanced at me, and took another step forward: "Yes, although this place is called the Northern Mountain, it is actually a small island centered on the Northern Mountain. ”
No wonder I need to take a boat here, I affirmed the answer in my mind and asked the question: "So where should we go to find that box?" ”
Lin Dahe just walked on his own, and didn't pay attention to my words at all.
On the contrary, it was the fourth child who pulled me over and said to me in pieces: "Didn't I mention the treasure to you before, there are a lot of strangers coming and going on this island, most of them are looking for the treasure that I don't know if it's true or false, no matter what happens or what you see, don't be too surprised." ”
I nodded as if I didn't understand, and continued to follow Lin Dahe.
To this day, I am still confused, I don't know what exactly exists in the northern mountains?
Don't know where to find the box?
I wonder what my grandfather and father disappeared for? What's in that box?
All these doubts weighed on my heart, and I couldn't breathe.
"What do you think? This way! ”
The fourth's words pulled me back to reality, and I found that Lin Dahe had already walked towards a quiet path among the trees, and the fourth was standing at the intersection waiting for me to join me.
I still couldn't help but ask the fourth: "Where is this going?" ”
"Don't ask so much, just follow along."
The fourth child didn't say much, picked me up and walked towards the path, looking in this direction, I was going to the mountains. I mentioned the spirit of 120,000 points, and I always felt that the closer I got to the northern mountains, the heavier the sense of oppression in my heart.
"Bang!" There was a loud bang in my ears, and I couldn't help but jump a few steps back.
Lin Dahe and Lao Si looked like they were accustomed to this phenomenon, and he waved his hand at me: "Come here, take you to have a look." ”
The fourth child was obviously familiar with the road, which made me think that this kind of thing must have happened many times, so I relaxed my mind and followed, wanting to see what was going on.
After walking for a while, the fourth child stopped, pointed to the group of people who were busy in front of him, made a silent movement, and explained to me in a low voice: "There, it's the treasure cave." ”
I looked at the crowd not far away, nodded, and continued to listen to him: "Originally, there were rumors that the treasure was hidden in this cemetery, so it is really a sin that people often come here to blow up the cemetery and not let the dead be safe. ”
Speaking of this, the fourth couldn't help but shake his head: "Actually, the things have been taken away a long time ago, I really don't know why some people still believe in that rumor, our local villagers don't dare to go in at all, it is said that they disturbed the deceased, but they will die very miserably." He began to look horrified, making me think that he must have been through something.
I glanced at Lin Dahe, who looked at those people with a calm expression, and smoked a cigarette with some concentration.
The figure of him standing there gave me a feeling of loneliness, as if he had gone through the vicissitudes of life and death.
We stood there and watched for a while, and the fourth child looked up at the sky, pulled me and Lin Dahe and walked back.
"Where are you going now?"
However, this time the fourth child did not answer me again, and the three of us kept shuttling between the woods, relatively silent.
Suddenly, I felt as if my vision had widened, and I looked into the distance and saw that we had come to a wilderness land, in sharp contrast to the dense woods behind me.
And the fourth and Lin Dahe didn't say a word, so they took out the tools from their backpacks and began to set up the tent.
"Aren't we going on?" I looked at Lao Si and Lin Dahe with a puzzled expression.
Lin Dahe looked cold, obviously not wanting to deal with me.
