Volume 1 Undercurrent Chapter 4 Ghost Bamboo Forest
"Let's go! We can't afford to mess with this thing, so we should leave quickly, and we can only find a way to go back from elsewhere. He didn't say anything, as if his enthusiasm had been polished by the sudden danger.
After walking for more than ten minutes, we came to the embankment of the Sancha River, the sound of the waterfall was deafening, although there was only more than 30 meters of embankment, but there was an indescribable sense of grandeur, probably because I knew that my grandfather had contributed here to have this feeling, thinking that there was something in the water that would kill people, this thin grandeur disappeared.
The only fortunate thing is that the river below the embankment is not deep, and the impact force has become much smaller, and the stones in the river are completely within reach, and we did not touch the water, and the two of us crossed the river in three or two.
It was almost dark, and there was actually a drizzle, and the two of them quickened their pace and approached the bamboo forest through the weeds by the river, "The ghost weather in the morning, I guessed that it was still sunny, and suddenly it rained, how did I feel that something was wrong, how could there be so many stones below, not to mention the stones above, there was not even a little sand." When Zhou Yifeng heard me say this, he felt a little inexplicable and said to me: "What's wrong, you can see it clearly all the way, it's true to go quickly, don't ink." ”
I frowned and continued: "We must not have found the right idea, the general stream is getting smaller and smaller, but here it is indeed from a stream to a river, it seems that it is possible to go down into a river, and the water temperature difference in this river is also very large, one end is cold and biting, the other end is as warm as a hot spring, and the first part of the Sancha River is washed by water and there is no sediment, there is just an extra embankment, and this is a piece of land to tomorrow." As I spoke, I returned to the river and touched the water below, and sure enough, the temperature was bitterly cold.
"You can find out if there is a problem with my senses, why is the water here so cold?" He walked over and touched it and said, "It's not your head watt, it's true that the water here is very cold." ”
Now the problem comes, only the estuary of the Sancha River and the embankment are warm, the rest of the water is cold and biting, if the river is compared to a person's arm, it is impossible to appear in a position that is warm, a position is cold, after all, such a thing is the first encounter, I feel that the brain cells are completely insufficient.
"Do you think some leeches are changing the temperature of the water in here?" I don't have an answer in my heart, after all, the dam in this place was repaired by my grandfather, and it is possible that the answer is in his hands.
I glanced back at the seven or eight meters high embankment and said uncertainly: "It is very likely that this embankment is not used to store water, but has other uses, otherwise the summer water alone would have scrapped the embankment." ”
"Didn't your grandfather tell you what they were doing with this thing back then?"
When he asked me, I changed my tone: "Guess! ”
"Guess your uncle, guess, if I can't beat you, I really want to beat you." Watch him grit his teeth and clench his fists.
"That's what my grandfather told me, I don't know what this repair is for, it's not easy for me to get these answers from his mouth!" I sighed, "It was a nightmare for my grandfather, and he didn't want to talk too much. ”
Zhou Yifeng lit a cigarette and said to me: "You said that the two of us ran out so much to write some novels, it is better to pry your grandfather's mouth open, if you don't know what he said, it will be enough for us to write ten or eight books." ”
Seeing that he was changing his wishful thinking, I squinted at him and said, "Then why don't you pry your grandfather's mouth open?" ”
"How do I know, that's what my grandfather told me, he didn't go to school, and your grandfather is still a teacher, I don't think it makes sense. It's almost gone, and now it's no longer possible to see the road, and then there are wolves, wild boars, tigers, etc., and the whole village will come to my two for dinner. He urged me.
After the leeches just now, we are now extremely nervous, and we must make sure that we are safe before moving forward.
The pace is not fast into the bamboo forest has been walking for more than ten minutes, more than 800 meters of bamboo forest The two of us should have walked halfway, and if we go on like this, we will soon deliberately pass through this bamboo forest.
Just as he was about to continue walking, I stopped him: "Wait! Turning around, I walked from the side, and now there was a bottle of dish soap in front of me between a clump of bamboo, and I picked it up and looked at it, and I asked a little uncertainly, "Have we been here before?" ”
Seeing him also come over, I handed him the bottle in my hand, he glanced at it and said angrily: "I have been walking in a straight line, and I haven't made a detour, how can I come back!" I think you were just scared stupid by that leech. ”
I got goosebumps when I heard the leeches, but he was right, we didn't go around the road, although the bamboos here are not one by one, but one by one, and the bamboo leaves cover the sky, after all, the two of us didn't make a detour," said a pair, casually threw the bottle to the ground, cut off a bamboo, and then walked forward. ”
As he walked, he muttered: "Don't always be nervous, we don't have any foreign aid now, and I'm crazy with suspicion, I'll see what you do." ”
"My mistake, my mistake, big brother, I know it's wrong, okay!" After all, I dealt with a loss today, and my temper couldn't harden, so I had to give in.
Just now both of us were so focused on not going out that we didn't care about the straight line we walked from time to time, but this time I walked carefully forward, and I was completely sure that we were walking in a straight line.
After walking for more than ten minutes, a bottle of dish soap appeared on the ground in front of us, "You see there is one here, they all told you that you are too suspicious, now you can see clearly!" More than just another bottle. ”
The more Zhou Yifeng spoke, the more energetic he became, there was a half-cut bamboo on the side of the bottle, I pointed to the bamboo I cut just now and said, "Then how to explain this bamboo, could it be that someone else happened to pass by and cut it?" ”
"This bamboo, Brother Cheng, have we encountered a ghost?" He lowered his voice.
I'm also panicking, I really can't accept this kind of thing in broad daylight, scientists have not been able to prove that there are ghosts in this world, and it is too arbitrary to say that there are ghosts when I encounter something that cannot be explained.
I pretended to be calm and said: "This daylight, no, where did the ghost come from in the afternoon, besides, even if there is a ghost, it will not start to shake until twelve o'clock, I am not even afraid of the living, will I be afraid of the dead?" ”
Thinking about the time I found a cemetery in order to practice my courage, and took a few female classmates to give myself courage, I ran to all the cemeteries in front of the profile tablet and sat down, don't you say, this does not sit I don't know, sit down and the back is really cold, immediately feel that there are thousands of pairs of eyes looking at you, I also sat hard for half an hour, back to the dormitory night I had more than a dozen nightmares in a row, that taste is like love.
"I heard the old people say that this is called a ghost hitting the wall, there is something unclean that blindfolds us, after all, we are all moving forward, we have to find it out before we can get out." As he spoke, he looked around, and it was getting darker and darker, and the rain was getting heavier, and if we couldn't get out, the wound would be suppurated by the rain.
"I don't believe it, Lao Tzu is a big living person, and he can't go out yet, since he can't go forward, let's go out in turn to see if there are ghosts in this bamboo forest, or if we have a problem with our eyes." I don't believe in evil and draw circles on the ground.
The two of them sped up, this time walking faster, and in five minutes they saw the bottle of dish soap, the circle I drew on the side of the mountain, and the bamboo that had not been cut.
At this time, I was really a little panicked, "Otherwise, the two of us will be separated, and I will try to walk this way?" Zhou Yifeng tried to say.
I thought for a moment and responded: "No, it's too dangerous, if there really is something unclean, wouldn't it really be my intention to separate the two!" "I grew up in the countryside since I was a child, and it is common for me to be instilled with cows, ghosts, snakes and gods by the older generation, and now when I encounter such a bizarre thing, the trace of revolutionary light in my heart is about to be erased by the darkness.
Now that they couldn't see it very clearly, the two had to turn on their flashlights.
Turn on the flashlight, and don't dare to shine around indiscriminately, for fear of shining on your face or something to look at yourself, that is, it is really possible to be scared to death.
Knowing that I can't mess up at this time, I still trembled with my legs, "What are we, we have to be calm and calm, now is not a feudal society, we can't spread cult ideas, we are not so lucky, ghosts are rare creatures that are not met when you want to." "When I thought of my grandfather saying that it was very exciting, I wanted to come down and take a look, but this time, although it was twice for me, but in the dream, these situations did not appear!
Zhou Yifeng stared at his eyes and said a little excited, "This is really exciting, I almost broke into the water just now, and now I feel like I'm going crazy when I encounter this bamboo forest that I can't get out of." ”
It's not just that he's going crazy, I'm driving myself crazy, I didn't understand what my own memory is, and now I'm still doing this, and my heart is getting more and more frizzy.
"Why is it so cold all of a sudden?" Zhou Yifeng rubbed his hands, broke out in a cold sweat, and felt that he was so cold now.
I also felt a little cold when he said this, and looked at the dried bamboo on the ground and said, "Let's make a fire here first, there is no way, we can't get out now, in case of a beast, we can still have an emergency measure." ”
Seeing him nod in agreement, the two of them packed up the dried bamboo, and now the bamboo forest is dripping rain everywhere, and the temperature is dropping, making the two of me feel more and more powerless, and an indescribable sense of exhaustion is in my heart.
In addition, the two of them were injured again, and now it is not a way to go back, there are so many leeches in the Sancha River, there is no difference between wanting to go over and desperately, the bamboo here is too small, and I don't know how much bamboo I have to cut to make a bamboo raft, and the most important thing is that we can't even go out.
The two didn't dare to be separated too far, and the dried bamboo collected should be able to last until the next morning, and as soon as the fire was raised, I cut a clump of bamboo, and burned the dried raw ones together to strive for more warmth.
A clump of bamboo fell, leaking out a trace of the night sky, and some white snowflakes floated down the hole I had cut out, "You crow's mouth, you're unlucky, I want to take you to buy a lottery ticket." Zhou Yifeng complained.
My heart is also cold, my whole body is wet from my feet to my head, and now it is still snowing, "This god is really joking with us." ”
I don't know why, at this time I have the feeling of staying, I don't want to go out so much, there is no wind here, if I go out, the clothes are wet and blowing on a snowy day, and our small bodies can't bear it, and the wound is purulent and tetanus is nothing to say.
I lit a fire to keep warm, and I hadn't eaten for a day, so I took out two loaves of bread from my bag, handed one to him and said, "I don't bring much food, but I have brought a lot of rice, oil, and salt, and now there is no water, so we will eat it, and if you are very hungry, I still have two bottles of eight-treasure porridge in my bag." ”
"Don't be afraid, I'm still here to eat, your eight-treasure porridge is not exhausted, we better not use it." Zhou Yifeng ate the bread in one bite.
I was in such a hurry to go out that I didn't have time to report to the house, and they didn't know where I went, and my cousin was married tonight, and he couldn't find me tomorrow, so he didn't know what to do.
Although they usually don't care about me, I can play how I like, and it is precisely because of this that I have never cared about my studies, and I am slowly in a daze when I look at the fire.
"What is the situation of me, wasn't the bottle on my left hand just now, why did it run behind you now?" Zhou Yifeng looked at the bottle in shock, not only was he afraid, but I was also very afraid.
Before I could calm down, he had already opened his backpack and took out three sticks of incense and put them close to the fire, "I'm sorry to disturb it, we came in a hurry and didn't bring any tribute, so I brought a few sticks of incense, don't be surprised." ”
I was stunned for a moment, and then saw him take out a few pieces of paper money, which completely broke my opinion of him, "Leave a way back, he will bring good tribute and good wine to visit him one day, and I hope to smile at this paper money." ”
In an instant, I felt someone push me behind my back, and my body was about to throw myself into the fire due to inertia, and I pressed my hands on the ground and flipped forward.
My head passed through the flames, and the smell of burning my head came to my face, Zhou Yifeng saw that I was almost planted in the fire, and hurriedly threw away the incense in his hand and helped me.
