Chapter 1, Red Lynch
"Eighty years ago, what happened here, I still haven't forgotten" An old man with gray hair, his facial wrinkles hidden his facial features like tree roots wrapping around the soil, and his eyelids drooped and he was not sure if he could really see it.
"It's been eighty years, I've lived so long, it's time to go." He held the hand of a middle-aged man about forty or fifty years old who was squatting next to him, "Avoid trouble, after I leave, you have to leave this place quickly, this place is not for ordinary people to stay!" ”
"Ah Gong, don't worry, I will go back immediately, but Ah Gong, I have always wanted to ask, why are you ......" Before the words were finished, the Ah Gong said.
"Why did you leave? Why come back? I haven't talked about it to anyone since I escaped that day, and it doesn't make much sense to say it now...... Ahem, ahem...... "All that's left is a violent cough.
"Grandpa, I'm ......" A trace of embarrassment flashed on the middle-aged man's face, and the old man also noticed the abnormality, and didn't seem to think much, so he said, "It's your father, hehehehe...... I know he's not well-intentioned, you know it won't end well, don't ask, I'm about to die, while it's still dark, let's go. The old man waved his hand and motioned for the middle-aged man to leave.
The middle-aged man rolled up a cigarette and smoked it, and walked out of the woods with a dozen people with him.
They walked for a while, and one of the people in the group shouted in a northeastern accent: "Damn, did we go wrong?" ”
The middle-aged man in the lead looked back at him: "What do you say?" ”
"When Lao Tzu was just about to arrive, he cut down a branch, but you see, we have come so far that I haven't seen a tree missing a branch, and there is no branch I dragged down on this road." This person's voice is probably the cause of smoking all year round, and it is hoarse and extremely unpleasant.
Oops, the middle-aged man thought to himself, his grandfather had told him before he came, this forest was very strange, it was easy to get lost, and if he got lost, he couldn't get out.
"I don't believe it, let me run into it!" As he spoke, he turned around, "Go back!" So the group turned back the same way.
This time, he kept more snacks and looked at the dense forest around him as he walked.
But after going back the same way for about an hour, the hoarse voice sounded ugly, "Stop, something is wrong, it only took half an hour for us to walk from the grandfather's shelf, it's almost an hour, no matter how slow you go, you should have arrived, but you see how there is a shelf here?" He said as he looked at the middle-aged man in the lead.
How could a middle-aged man not realize that he grew up in the city since he was a child, how could he be frightened like this, he only heard about this kind of scene, and his face turned white at this time.
And it was almost dark, Ah Gong said that he had to leave this forest before dark, he didn't know what would happen after dark, he only felt a bad premonition welling up in his heart, and he felt a panic in his throat.
"Go forward", he tried his best to be very calm, after all, although this group of people were hired, they were a group of outlaws who were not easy to provoke, if they knew that he didn't know what to do, would they obediently obey? He thought to himself, and walked straight forward.
I don't know how long I walked again, but it was already dark, and they didn't expect to rush in the night, and they didn't bring anything to light.
Everyone didn't speak on this part of the road, and it was estimated that they were tired, and just when the middle-aged man in the lead was thinking about whether to repair it in place and find the way again at dawn, a voice in the team remembered "Hey! Look, Boss! There's light ahead! ”
According to what he said, the group saw that there seemed to be a light similar to a kerosene lamp not far ahead, starting with one or two, and then more and more at the back, there were about twenty.
"Looks like someone is coming," said the middle-aged man, "and go and see, maybe they can take us out." ”
He walked a few steps, but he didn't hear them coming, and when he turned his head, he couldn't help but be stupid: a dozen or so people in his team had fallen to the ground!
He realized that something was wrong, and turned his head to see if the lights were still there, and when he turned his head, he seemed to have hit something, and suddenly the back of his neck was cold, and his eyes were dark......
Fainted.
