Chapter 10

The further you go into the mountains, the thicker the fog becomes. When the procession was barely clear, Chief Ishimura motioned for everyone to stop. He said to the villagers, "Let's start here, let's leave the three of us on standby." The others followed me. ”

Qi Yuancheng and the others naturally refused to stay where they were, and they followed Village Chief Shi to continue to move slowly into the fog. After walking for another half an hour or so, Chief Shi left three more people on standby, and walked forward with four more people and two dogs.

After walking for another 20 minutes, the two dogs suddenly roared uneasily, and the four of them stopped and looked around vigilantly.

The fog was so thick that they couldn't see 1 meter away, so they could only stare intently in the direction of the dog's barking.

Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps, and everyone raised the guy in their hands, and the head of Ishimura shouted: "Who! Stone pillars? Is that you? ”

A childish voice came: "Grandpa the village chief, it's me." ”

The four of them were taken aback, and Wang Zhifei stammered: "This, this is a small stone!" ”

I saw a child staggering out of the fog, and it was the small stone that had disappeared in the village. He saw that the crowd was a little excited, and his steps were unsteady, and he almost fell.

Qi Yuancheng hurriedly stepped forward and hugged the small stone. He checked the small stone from top to bottom for injuries. I saw that the original shabby clothes on Xiaoshi's body seemed to be torn to rot, and there were also abrasions on his hands and face.

Strangely, the little stone was holding a round brown stone tightly in his hand.

Qi Yuancheng said: "Little stone, it's okay, it's okay." How did you get to the mountains? What kind of stone is this, let's put it down first. ”

The little stone hugged the stone tighter, and with a cry in his voice, he said, "Teacher, village chief and grandfather, save my father, he, he was captured by wild beasts!" ”

Chief Shi hurriedly asked, "Where is your father?" How do you know he's been captured by a beast? ”

Little Stone shook his head and didn't speak, just sobbed.

Wang Zhifei comforted Xiaoshi and said, "Xiaoshi, do you know where your father is?" Can you take us there? ”

Qi Yuancheng stopped: "No, I don't know what kind of danger there is inside, Xiaoshi will go back with you first as soon as he points the way, and you must not follow." ”

Wang Zhifei heard that he had let himself be a logistician again, and was about to protest, when Xiaoshi spoke: "Teacher Qi, I won't go back." I'll take you there. Come with me. After speaking, he broke free of Qi Yuancheng's embrace, turned around and walked straight into the fog.

The small stone walked so fast that everyone didn't have time to stop it. I had to lead the dog to follow the small stone.

Qi Yuancheng walked a few steps quickly, took Xiaoshi's hand, and said, "Xiaoshi, you slow down, the fog is so big, pay attention to your feet, don't trip." ”

The little stone walked faster and faster without looking back. The crowd trotted up to keep up.

The little stone took everyone for more than ten minutes, shuttling back and forth in the woods, by the stream, and down the cliff, and was completely unaffected by the fog.

Chief Ishimura felt incredible, adults were tired of trotting like this, let alone a child. He panted and said, "Little stone, let's rest for a while." ”

Xiaoshi slowed down, turned his head and said to everyone, "Grandpa the village chief, teacher, Dad is in the cave in front. We have to be careful. His expression was anxious, but also apprehensive.

Qi Yuancheng was also incredulous about Xiao Shi's performance, regardless of a child's amazing physical strength and ability to recognize the road in the fog, the most amazing thing was how he managed to enter the mountains and find his father in such a quick time? He asked Little Stone, "Stone, can you tell the teacher how you found your father?" ”
