XXXV. The Vanishing Night's Watch
How can there be lights in this uninhabited mountainous area, I don't think well, maybe the gang has arrived.
I hurriedly entered the tent to wake them up, and prepared to put away the tent and other things. Before we could clean me up, a strong flashlight was already shining on our faces, "It's Mr. Zhao, why don't you come up the mountain without saying hello." “
Holding the flashlight on my face with his hand and looking at the person opposite. Uncle Zhao said, "Are you not bad at speed?" Caught up so quickly. ”
The man smiled treacherously and said, "If you have a fortune together, it's not good for my brother to do this." ”
My mind was spinning, there were more than ten people on the other side in front of me, and there were only five or six of us. It's definitely not someone's opponent, it's better to compromise with the other party first, and then find a way to get out.
Uncle Zhao said to the man, "You detained our team members because you were wrong first, don't you have the sincerity to cooperate at all?" ”
The man shook his hand and said, "No! No! No! Brother, don't say that, since everyone has the same goal now, let's work together, and after finding something, will we divide it into fives? ”
At this time, it seems that there is no other way to disagree, and there is no way for Uncle Zhao to nod.
The man beckoned his team members to put up their tents in place, rest on the spot tonight, and get up and hurry tomorrow morning.
A few of us were busy setting up our tents, and the men of the vigil said that their men would do it. In fact, I also understood his intention in doing this, thinking that someone would keep vigil anyway, and we would be cold outside, so I simply went into the tent and covered my head and slept with my head covered.
In my sleep, I suddenly heard someone outside the tent arguing over something, and climbed out of the tent to see that the person who had been keeping vigil was gone, and the others were discussing how this person would disappear out of thin air.
The man saw us coming out and covered it up and said, "Hey! It's nothing, the timid vigil didn't dare to go with us on this outlaw trip, so he snuck away. ”
Pei was also awakened by the sound outside, and also climbed out of the tent, looking at me in confusion.
Strange to say, there are no footprints on this ground other than these footprints when we came and around the tent?
Then there is only one possibility, the night watchman returned the same way we came, but I looked closely, and according to the direction of the footprints, I did not find any return.
The more I thought about it, the more wrong I felt.
The man arranged for two more people to stay vigil, and then beckoned everyone back to the tent to rest, and Pei and I returned to the tent and couldn't fall asleep for a long time.
Pei asked puzzledly: "Yang Xiuyuan, what do you think of returning from a vigil for no reason just now?"
I scratched my head and said: "This thing is really bizarre, I don't think this person will go back by himself, I have carefully observed the footprints on the ground, there is no sign of going back at all, that person is in danger that we don't know?" ”
Shang Yang looked at me and said, "Yang Xiuyuan, let me tell you something, don't be afraid." ”
I nodded puzzled and said, "Just say something, it's really nothing that can scare us." ”
Huzi, who was sleeping next to him, rolled over and continued to snore, as if what was happening outside had nothing to do with him.
After Pei helped Huzi cover the blanket, he said mysteriously: "I have heard such a saying, there is a "snow ghost" in the mountain, I heard that this mountain ghost is the son of the ice and snow demon, every winter snow season, this snow ghost will come out of the snow to scourge the mountain creatures, will the night watchman be caught by the snow ghost." ”
I said in disbelief: "Okay, return the snow ghost!" No matter how capable this snow ghost is, it can't wipe out a big living person out of thin air, right? ”
Pei didn't say anything when he heard me say this, so he turned around and said, "I don't believe it either, these are just rural legends, where are there so many gods and ghosts in the world." ”
From time to time outside the tent came the whispers of the two night watchmen outside, and before I knew it, I was asleep again. This man often said that the goosebumps are cold and the urine is hot and sleepy.
The cold man in the tent woke up with urine, and after putting on my coat, I went out to pee, but when I went out, I felt that something was wrong. There was no one outside the tent, and the two night watchmen who had been arranged did not know where to run at this time. My heart suddenly became frizzy, could it be that I disappeared out of thin air like the night watchman last time?
Thinking about what Pei just told me about what snow ghosts are in this mountain, the more I think about it, the more panicked I feel, could it be that there is really an unknown creature in this vast snowy mountain?
I remembered that not long ago, the man had said that several of their scientific expedition teams had entered this snowy mountain and had never returned. I wondered if we, who had nine people left, would be able to find the tomb buried in the snowy mountain in front of us.
I couldn't help but shiver, it seemed that it was another difficult night tonight, and I quickly lifted my pants and got into the tent. Pei didn't seem to be asleep, and when I got into the tent, Pei looked at me puzzled and said, "My face is so ugly, what's wrong outside?" ”
I whispered, "The two people who are on the vigil seem to have mysteriously disappeared again. ”
Pei looked at me and said, "Didn't you wake up that group?" ”
I put my ring finger in front of my mouth and whispered, "Be quiet, don't tell them yet, it's their people who disappear anyway, and it has nothing to do with us." ”
Pei Huiyi whispered, "You can't say that, we haven't figured out what the hell is going on, I wonder if it will be us when we disappear next!" ”
Looking at the watch on his wrist, it was already more than four o'clock in the morning, so he said: "At the insistence, it will be dawn, let's stay awake at any time, and let Huzi have a good rest." ”
Pei suddenly motioned for me not to speak, and then pointed outside.
I listened carefully, and it seemed that someone had gone out in the tent next door, and suddenly someone outside shouted, as if shouting something, "Everyone, get up, the person is gone again." ”
Suddenly, several tents next door were in a commotion, and the sleeping tiger was also woken up by the commotion outside. Huzi rubbed his eyes and said, "What's the matter, is it thundering outside, or is it raining, what's the howl?" You can't sleep well. ”
Li Wen opened our tent and poked his head in, and asked curiously, "Pei! How can you say that people are missing from here, what's going on? ”
Pei pulled Li Wen into the tent and told him about the mysterious disappearance of the three men.
Li Wen said curiously: "How can this big living person say that if he can't see it, he won't see it." Did you fall into that snow hole? ”
Huzi said irrelevant to himself: "Why don't you drop love, one less is still a good thing for us, but when you find the baby, you will have a few fewer shares." ”
A man's voice came from outside the tent, "Brother Zhao! It's almost dawn, isn't it time for us to leave? ”
It was half past five after looking at our watch, and it was time to leave, so we cleaned up and ate some dry food, and then walked towards the mountain with a large bag on our backs.
The original team of nine people, at this moment, there were only five or six people left, looking at the majestic mountain peak in front of him, an inexplicable panic swept over.
