Chapter 9: The Journey Changes
Early the next morning, Xiao Yao took the map and came to the café where he had made an appointment with Officer Huang.
When Xiao Yao took out the road map of the other side village, Officer Huang was very curious and asked about the origin of the route.
Xiao Yao told Officer Huang about the events of last night, and although they thought it was incredible, this map still pointed out a way for them to find the truth.
On the same day, Xiao Yao and others came to the hospital, went through the discharge procedures for Yue Yue, and decided to leave for the other side of the village the next day.
Following the instructions on the map, Xiao Yao and the others began to embark on a journey to find the truth, but Officer Huang couldn't set off with Xiao Yao and the others because of a temporary matter, and only said that he would catch up with them.
……
The scenery outside the car window was beautiful, but only Yue Yue was in the mood to enjoy the beautiful scenery among the four people
Suddenly, the car braked sharply and stopped on the side of the road. "Senior, what's wrong?" Xiao Yao looked at Senior Shen Yan in the driver's seat and asked suspiciously.
Senior Shen Yan's face was a little wrong, and there seemed to be some cold sweat dripping down. "Did you see that?" Senior Shen Yan suddenly turned his head to look at Xiao Yao in the co-pilot's seat and asked suspiciously.
"What do you see?" Xiao Yao was confused, and even wondered if Senior Shen Yan had hallucinated due to the continuous mental tension in the past few days.
"Did you see that?" Senior Shen Yan turned around again and asked Yue Yue on the back seat.
"What?" Their expressions were also confused.
"Looks like I'm wrong." Senior Shen Yan smiled self-deprecatingly and started the car again.
……
Although Shen Yan's expression looked very calm at this time, there was still a trace of doubt hidden in his eyes.
Just now, there was a woman in red clothes waving to me in front of the car, and suddenly jumped to my car window, and smiled at me through the window, that smile was very weird, I still remember it clearly, but, why didn't anyone else see it??
Unconsciously, the sun went down, and Shen Yan and his group followed the instructions on the map and happened to come to a forest.
The next village, which was almost a day's drive away, was debating whether they should spend the night in the forest.
At this moment, an old woman in a gray robe with a face full of vicissitudes staggered to them.
"Young man, don't go into this forest, this forest is very evil, many people have gone in, but not many people have come out." The old woman warned.
"Why?" Xiao Yao asked curiously, "What's inside?" ”
"No one knows what's inside, it could be a beast, it could be something else, because no one has ever come out, and no one has seen what's inside."
"Are those who have gone in dead?" Shuno asked.
"If it was just dead, this forest would not have been so evil, and those who went in were either dead, or disappeared as if the world had evaporated." The old woman replied.
"Old man, thank you for the reminder, we'll take note." Senior Shen Yan replied.
The old woman nodded, and then walked slowly forward with a staggering step.
……
Xiao Yao and the others were thinking about staying in the car for one night, when Yue Yue suddenly looked embarrassed. "That, I, I want to get rid of it."
"Go ahead." Xiao Yao smiled understandingly, and watched more and more into the forest.
"Yue Yue, how did you get into the forest!" Senior Shu Nuo, who reacted, suddenly asked nervously.
"Otherwise, there is no place! Don't worry, I'll come out right away. After saying that, Yue Yue's figure had already disappeared into the forest.
Xiao Yao and the others stood outside the car and waited for Yue Yue, but dozens of minutes passed, and they still didn't see Yue Yue's figure come out of the forest, the sun had completely set, and darkness had already fallen inadvertently.
Haruka Shino was a little worried......
"Ahh A terrible scream erupted in the darkness.
It's more and more! Following the source of the sound, Xiao Yao and the others came to a small lake in the forest, and fell to their knees by the river, with two thin wounds on her right ankle, bleeding, and her expression seemed to be extremely painful.
"Yueyue, what's wrong?" Xiao Yao hurriedly rushed to Yue Yue's side, leaned down and asked eagerly.
"It hurts." The more painful the opening.
"What's going on?" Shinohuka asked.
"Just now I was untied and wanted to wash my hands in the river, but who knew that someone who didn't know what it was bit me." The more helpless he replied.
Senior Shu Nuo looked at the wound on Yue Yue's foot and frowned, "It looks like he was bitten by a snake." ”
"Snakes? Is there any poison? Xiao Yao asked hurriedly.
"Don't worry, it doesn't look like a poisonous snake, but the more you get hurt, it's not appropriate to rest in the car for a night after all, I'll go get a tent or something, we'll spend the night by the river." Senior Shen Yan said helplessly.
"But, it's not ......" Shino Haruka was a little worried.
"Don't be afraid, what kind of society is now, there is no need to believe in superstition." Senior Shu Nuo said affirmatively.
Looking at Yue Yue's wounds, Xiao Yao nodded.
"Then you take care of Yue Yue first, and I'll go to the car to get something." Shen Yan explained.
"Yes, okay."
……
Senior Shen Yan and the others skillfully set up the tent, then picked up some firewood, lit it, set up a barbecue pot, went to the river to fetch some water, and prepared dinner.
Xiao Yao took out the disinfectant and band-aid from the first-aid kit he carried, cleaned the wound on Xia Yueyue's ankle, and then disinfected it and helped Yue Yue's wound to be bandaged.
After a while, the smell of food stimulated Xiao Yao, and the two of them were extremely hungry at this time.
"Wow! I didn't expect your skills to be so good, seniors. After the wound was treated, Yue Yue obviously felt a lot better, and unconsciously praised the craftsmanship of the two men, "Whoever marries you in the future will die happily." ”
Shen Yan and Shu Nuo just smiled, while Shen Yan secretly glanced at Xiao Yao beside him, and unconsciously had a few red clouds on his face.
……
Tonight's night was beautiful, and due to the fatigue of the day, Yue Yue and Xiao Yao fell asleep as soon as they lay down in the tent.
A slight sound of rustling woke up the sleeping Xiaoyao, she opened her eyes, and through the faint light in the tent, Xiaoyao suddenly found that there was no one next to her who was supposed to lie down Yue Yue.
Xiaoyao, who was still a little sleepy, suddenly woke up completely, and she hurriedly got up and tried to find Yueyue.
Outside the tent, there was a row of not very clear footprints on the muddy and wet ground, and following the footprints, Xiao Yao relaxed his steps and walked slowly.
Under the moonlight, Xiao Yao saw a familiar background by the river, and she just wanted to shout Yue Yue's name, but who knows, a little faint light quickly traveled in the direction where Yue Yue was.
Xiao Yao was silent, quietly looking at the candlelight, with the arrival of the candlelight, a slender figure stopped in front of Yue Yue, accompanied by the faint moonlight and light, Xiao Yao saw in a daze, Yue Yue seemed to have a quarrel with the mysterious person, and it seemed that there was a tendency to become more and more intense.
"Smack!" Due to nervousness, Xiao Yao stepped on a branch under his feet, this slight sound was particularly clear in the dark night, and Yue Yue and the mysterious figure stopped arguing and began to slowly approach the direction where Xiao Yao was.
Xiao Haruka held his breath nervously, guessing his unknown fate.
