Chapter 12: The Man in White
With Xu Annian's voice, everyone looked forward, and sure enough, a forest came into everyone's eyes.
The woods in front of me don't look special, but the trees are so lush that you can't see the edge at a glance.
The fat man took a closer look and said with a little disappointment
"Isn't this just ordinary woods? I don't feel so scary, do you? ”
Looking at his indifferent expression, Uncle Hu said solemnly
"Xiaobao, don't be careless, we haven't entered the woods yet, and it's really dangerous when we go in!"
The fat man nodded in agreement.
"But looking at this wood, it shouldn't be small, Uncle Hu, do you know how big this forest is?"
Uncle Hu shook his head
"I've never been to the end of the woods! It is a virgin forest and very few people come here. It's been five or six hours since I went in with your uncle last time! ”
Xu Annian was a little skeptical
"Then Uncle Hu, can we get lost when we go in?"
Uncle Hu said in a deep voice
"It's okay, I can't get lost, I know it in my heart!"
Then he took a deep breath, stepped on the accelerator, and the car slowly drove into the woods.
Xu Annian was very vigilant at this time, because he always felt that something was wrong since he entered the woods, as if in the depths of the woods, there was a pair of eyes that had been staring at him, making his whole body unnatural, he looked around carefully, but found nothing, so he temporarily let down his guard, thinking that he was too nervous and hallucinating!
In this way, the car shuttled smoothly through the woods, and it can be seen that Uncle Hu is still relatively familiar with the road, and sometimes there will be forks in the road, but Uncle Hu is very resolute to turn in one of the directions, without hesitation at all.
The road in the woods is obviously in disrepair, very bumpy, and the weeds on the road are also growing very tall, proving that no one has passed here for a long time, the vehicle is moving very slowly, and Uncle Hu's attention is also very focused.
Xu Annian found that the deeper he walked into the woods, the quieter the surroundings seemed to be, and it stands to reason that the woods should be full of life, but here, it feels like a dead silence, not even a bird call, only the trees swing together under the wind, making a rustling sound, which makes people feel uneasy to listen to. Looking at the trunks around him again, the more he walked, the thicker and thicker they became, and the leaves on the branches were green and red, as if the human veins were filled with blood at once, bulging there, as if they might burst at any time, Xu Annian faintly felt wrong
He asked strangely
"Uncle Hu, how do I feel weird here, the tree grows quite strange!"
Uncle Hu seemed to have noticed something, frowned slightly, and did not reply
It's the fat man who has no heart to tease
"I said Comrade Xiao Nian, your little cowardice is too small, why don't I feel wrong, isn't it just a bigger tree, this is a good explanation, you think about it, in a smooth environment without natural enemies, then no matter what species it is, it is desperate to eat and absorb nutrients, then it will definitely grow strong, this is like the pig raised by my grandfather before, there is nothing to do every day, except to eat or sleep, there is no need to worry about anything else, when it comes to the meal, it must grow fat and strong, this elementary school student knows, I still have to explain to you, shame, I'm really embarrassed to say you in front of my Uncle Hu, don't say it's my buddy in the future, it's too embarrassing! ”
After saying that, he smiled
Xu Annian thought about it carefully, although the fat man was rude, he still made some sense, maybe he was too suspicious, so he agreed with the fat man's statement and returned
"Okay, I know, it's just like you, you have food and drink, so you're fat!"
When the fat man heard this, he gave Xu An a middle finger
"Damn, you even said I was a pig! Okay, you can, I remember you! ”
Xu Annian smiled, and after a few words of joking with the fat man, he relaxed a lot,
After speaking, he wanted to take out some water in his bag to drink, but when he turned back to take the bag, he subconsciously glanced back, and saw a man in white standing next to a tree looking at him, because the distance was a little far, he couldn't see the specific appearance of the person, but what made his hairs stand up was that he could vaguely see that the person had no eyes, because the position of the person's eyes was empty, leaving two deep holes.
"Someone!"
Xu Annian was so frightened that he cried out, startling Uncle Hu and the fat man.
Uncle Hu stepped on the brakes, making a screeching sound of wheels rubbing in the silent woods.
was caught off guard by this sudden brake, and the fat man and Xu Annian's heads all hit the roof of the car.
The fat man screamed as he rubbed his aching head
"Whereever, somebody! Where is it, let me see! ”
Uncle Hu also suddenly pulled out the whip he was carrying, and looked at Xu Annian with a nervous face, Xu Annian was a little shocked, and pointed to the location where he saw the person just now and said
"That's, right there, a man in white! He kept looking at us! ”
The fat man and Uncle Hu looked in the direction pointed by Xu Annian, and at this time the place was empty, there was nothing, only the tree was swaying in the wind, as if telling something.
The fat man said angrily
"Xu Annian, what are you yelling about, how can there be anyone, not even a fart, where is the person! Are you insane? ”
Xu Annian also hurriedly looked back, and sure enough, the person in white he saw just now disappeared, he was really dazzled? He was a little suspicious of himself, but what he saw just now was too real, he clearly saw a person, but he didn't have eyes yet?
Xu Annian shook his head, ignored the fat man's complaints, and turned to Uncle Hu and said
"Uncle Hu, I did see a person just now, dressed in white, and, and it doesn't seem to have eyes! Hey, I'm not sure, maybe I'm dazzled! ”
Uncle Hu didn't refute anything, nor did he complain about Xu Annian, but just nodded with a serious expression
"It's okay, let's keep walking!"
After saying that, he started the car again and drove forward, but the car drove slower and his spirit was more concentrated!
The fat man was also frightened by Xu Annian's discovery, and kept looking around with his small eyes open, wanting to see if there was a man in white that Xu Annian said!
After watching it for ten minutes, I didn't find anything, until I saw that my eyes were blood-red, and I said
"An Nian, you must be dazzled, I haven't seen it for so long! I said, can you not be startled, scare you fat man and me, and you are responsible? ”
Xu Annian also kept looking around, trying to make sure if what he saw just now was true, but this time he didn't see anything, and he was a little embarrassed to say
"Maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm too nervous!"
However, Xu Annian always felt that a pair of eyes had been observing them from a certain corner. It's a strange feeling, but it's also very real!
Xu Annian simply didn't care, closed his eyes and recuperated, because of his own body, his physical strength and spirit were obviously getting worse and worse, and after what happened just now, he was a little dizzy.
The car drove for about ten minutes, and no one spoke, only to hear the fat man say strangely
"Hey, have you noticed that the fog around here is getting bigger and bigger, where does the fog come from on this sunny day?"
Hearing what the fat man said, Xu Annian hurriedly opened his eyes, and after the rest and adjustment just now, the dizziness had disappeared. He looked around, and sure enough, a faint fog had appeared around him, although it had little impact on his vision, but the hazy environment made people feel unsteady.
Uncle Hu carefully observed the front and said in a deep voice
"To be precise, it's not fog, it's yin!"
"What!"
The fat man choked when he heard this yin word, in such a strange environment, Uncle Hu still said such evil words, it was indeed a bit terrifying.
"It's yin, that's what your uncle said when I came last time, this forest is mainly composed of willows and locust trees, and among all the trees, willows and locust trees are the trees with the heaviest yin. So the further you go in, the heavier the yin qi becomes! It stands to reason that such trees are suitable only for planting around cemeteries, and not in dense woods. I don't know why there are both kinds of trees in this forest! ”
Xu Annian was a little puzzled and asked hurriedly
"Uncle Hu, why is it not suitable to plant willow trees and locust trees in the woods?"
Uncle Hu answered
"The locust tree has been called the ghost tree since ancient times, you can understand it by looking at the word locust tree, this word is divided into wood and ghosts, so it is called the ghost of the wood, and the locust tree is a kind of thing that gathers yin, and it is easy to attract unclean things. And if you look closely, there is a big tree nodule on the body of the locust tree, and this tree tumor is very talkative. Then there is the willow tree, which is one of the strongest soul-binding abilities, so there is a legend of "nailing the soul willow" since ancient times. Legend has it that as long as four people are buried under the willow tree, the soul of the deceased cannot be transcended, and the yin energy of the willow tree is bound. Therefore, the woods composed of these two tree species often produce strong yin qi! It is said that people with weak constitutions will see something unclean! ”
After speaking, he looked at Xu Annian pointedly.
Xu Annian was stunned by what Uncle Hu said, and subconsciously turned his head to look out the window, as if Uncle Hu had seen through his thoughts.
The fat man heard Uncle Hu's explanation and hurriedly asked
"Then Uncle Hu, do you mean that we can see ghosts now?"
Although there was a little fear in the words, it was more excitement!
Uncle Hu shook his head
"That's not, in fact, you don't understand the word yin, you just think that yin is a ghost, in fact, it's not entirety, the so-called yin, popularly explained from the perspective of physics, is actually here with high humidity, low temperature, dark and damp, at most it will make people easy to get sick, not as mysterious as you imagined, of course, yin, yang is also a kind of energy body, can be gathered, but it is not yet known!"
When the fat man heard this, he came to the spirit,
"Really? It turns out that ghosts can also be explained by science? Awesome, is this all what my uncle told you? He's so powerful, if I knew he would do this, I would have asked him to teach me a few hands! ”
Uncle Hu smiled and nodded, cheering them up
"So you don't have to be so nervous, in fact, some things we don't know are far less terrible than we imagined, most of them are just scaring ourselves, but we still have to concentrate and not take it lightly! If you really can't go back, I'm not sure if you can go to Liren Village, but I'm still confident that I can escort you two back safely! ”
At this time, Uncle Hu's face was full of confidence, and he could feel that Uncle Hu was also a capable person full of stories.
