"They're all hanged inside?" I also frowned slightly, and secretly looked at Lao Wang and the three of them. Our team was already frightened, and before they entered Danmeng, they first heard Hu Ritu tell such a thrilling past, and the faces of Lao Wang and Ning Kitten were full of horror.

"Yes, just like the local legend, if you enter Danmeng, you will hang yourself inside."

"You saw it with your own eyes?"

"No, I heard it from someone who came back."

"If you haven't seen it with your own eyes, it's hearsay, and it's not necessarily what you're talking about. Let's listen to this as a legend. I interrupted Hu Ritu's speech, then changed the subject, and after a few people chatted for a while, they went downstairs to eat.

After eating, I found an opportunity to call Hu Ritu out alone. In front of Lao Wang just now, I don't want Hu Ritu to talk about it anymore, I'm afraid that the psychology of the three of them will not be able to bear it.

"What's going on with that team your friend is on?"

Hu Ritu waited on the periphery of Danmeng for five days, and he couldn't help it a little and wanted to go in and have a look. However, just when Hu Ritu was ready to enter Danmeng, he saw his friend in the distance on a dirt mountain.

His friend ran outside alone, not knowing if it was injured or whatever, but he couldn't run anymore anyway. Hu Ritu didn't think twice and immediately went in to save people. As he hurried to his friend's side, he saw a large wound on his shoulder to his left chest.

His friend, perhaps because of his serious injuries or lack of food and water, seemed to be in a trance the moment he saw Hu Ritu. Hu Ritu was honest, he saw the team of six people go in with his own eyes, but only one person came back, so he quickly asked why he didn't see the other five people.

Hu Ritu is sincere, but it doesn't mean that he is stupid, looking at the appearance of his friends in front of him, Hu Ritu has a very bad premonition in his heart, and he has a premonition that something must have happened to those five people.

Hu Ritu's friend was indeed in a trance, as if muttering to himself, and as if telling Hu Ritu, he said that the other five people could not come back, and they all hanged themselves in Danmeng.

After saying these words, Hu Ritu's friend couldn't hold on any longer and fainted. Hu Ritu was very flustered, he didn't dare to hold the idea of going to those five people anymore, he just wanted to save his friends.

Whether it was doing business in the past, or leading the way for others later, Hu Ritu had never touched anything related to human life, he was so panicked that when he came out with his friends, he accidentally fell down a dirt slope and broke one of his legs.

"If I hadn't been frightened at the time, and I was in a hurry, how could I have broken my leg." Hu Ritu smiled bitterly and patted his injured leg gently: "I can't hide it." ”

"And then?"

Hu Ritu broke his leg and dragged his friend out step by step. The situation at that time was very difficult, but after the two of them arrived at the periphery of Danmeng, they still left safely. My friend and Hu Ritu recuperated together for a few days, and then insisted on leaving, but Hu Ritu couldn't stop him.

Hu Ritu missed the old days, and after his leg injury recovered, he went back to his hometown to see his friends. By the time he got back, his friend had gone crazy. Hu Ritu was very sad, and felt that his friend's accident must have something to do with entering Danmeng.

"Two years ago, I went back to my hometown again, and he had passed away." Hu Ritu sighed, habitually rolled a cigarette with tobacco, and said to me very sincerely: "I didn't see what happened in Danmeng with my own eyes, but I know the final result of that team, Danmeng, I can't go." ”

Hu Ritu's narration actually didn't scare me, and I had heard and seen a lot of things in Guxing. Still, I felt an indescribable fear deep in my heart.

No one knows how the five members of that team died in Danmeng, but the only thing that is certain is that they did die in Danmeng.

Unknown dangers are the hardest to guard against, and the most frightening.

That's when an idea popped into me. Old man Liu called us to come to Danmeng, did he deliberately lead us to this place full of unknown dangers to send us to death?

However, this idea just popped up, and I was denied by myself. I believe that if Old Man Liu just wants our lives, then he doesn't have to go through so many twists and turns, I feel that he definitely has the ability to kill us.

It can be said that I am faced with a difficult choice, and it is not yet a difficult decision, and I have room to withdraw halfway, but what about after the withdrawal? What to do? Or is it the same as before, living in fear every day, and then slowly waiting for the situation to deteriorate further, to the point that it is completely impossible to resolve?

What Old Man Liu said on the phone at that time is still swirling in my mind. If we withdraw halfway, then, Lao Wang and the three of them, will die, and I will be more embarrassed than death.

In fact, we have no way out but to fight.

"So be it." I made up my mind to enter Danmeng, thought about it, and discussed with Hu Ritu: "You just need to take us outside Danmeng." ”

"But ......"

"We have to go to Danmeng." I knew that Hu Ritu would definitely have to dissuade him again, so I interrupted him and said slowly: "If you don't go to Danmeng, my three friends will die." ”

Hu Ritu stopped talking, he is a person who values his friends very much, so when I said something that was related to the safety of his companion's life, Hu Ritu seemed to understand me.

With the help of Hu Ritu, we sorted out some more equipment, and on the morning of the third day, the team set off from the county town and marched towards the Bakelang area where Danmeng was located.

Although I had prepared a map before I came, when I actually walked on this road, I realized that it would not work without a guide who was familiar with the route. There are many dead ends on the road that cannot be passed by motor vehicles, but fortunately, we have found an experienced person like Hu Ritu to lead us forward in the bumpy journey.

The road was very calm, there were no accidents, Lao Wang and Ning Kitten seemed to be a little more relaxed, and they talked a lot. But my nerves were always tense, and the calmer I was, the more I felt bottomless.

We walked on and off for about four days, and Hu Ritu told me that we had reached the outskirts of the Danmeng Basin.

I got out of the car and took a look, because of the cut off of the surface water flow, the small basin of Danmeng had already begun to desertify, and only vegetation such as thorns and pipa firewood grew, and it looked very desolate, as if no one had set foot in it for a thousand or ten thousand years.

"I've heard that a long time ago, there was a river here, and you could also fish." Hu Ritu pointed to the distance and said to me, "But now, there is nothing. ”

I suddenly felt a little emotionally in my heart, human beings' ability to control nature is so poor, only a century apart, maybe a piece of land will be in the middle of the sea. Looking at the dead wasteland in front of you, it's hard to imagine that thousands of years ago, it was the place where the world's most important trade route passed.

Although Danmeng is a small basin, at a glance, you can't see the end at all. The four of us entered Danmeng to find Old Man Liu. My premonition was very strong, and I felt that Old Man Liu was somewhere in the Danmeng Basin, and he must be there.

We took the supplies and necessary equipment from the car, and in a place like Danmeng, it was almost impossible to get any supplies, so we had to bring as many things as we could. Everyone's backpacks were heavy, and Lao Wang and Ning kittens carried their bags and tried to walk twenty or thirty meters ahead.

"Dude, let's go in, please wait here." I explained to Hu Ritu: "If you wait for a long time, I will give you more money." ”

"No, no, it's not really about money." Hu Ritu waved his hand again and again, maybe he wanted to express something to me, but he couldn't say it.

In the midst of his struggle, I suddenly understood what he meant, he wanted to tell me that he could wait here, but what would he do if the four of us were gone.

"Please do me a favor." Before I could answer Hu Ritu, Zhang Momo walked over from behind, took out a neat stack of paper, and stretched out his hand to Hu Ritu: "There is a phone number on it, if I can't get out, you call according to the number on the paper, tell the other party the specific address, and ask the other party to come and drive the car away." ”

I didn't understand what Zhang Momo meant, this cold-faced royal sister has always cherished words like gold, from the time I knew her to the present, this is probably the longest time she has spoken.

"What are you looking at me for?" Zhang Momo glanced at me: "I borrowed the car, whether it is dead or alive, the borrowed things have to be returned to others, is this strange?" ”

"It's not strange, it's just that I think ...... I felt as if there was a kind of pessimism spreading in our ranks, as if we couldn't get out if we went in. I explained, "Haven't we gone in yet?" No one can predict what will happen tomorrow, maybe something good? ”

"I don't believe I'm going to have that much luck, and if I had good luck, I wouldn't have been able to do this." Zhang Momo took out a box of petite children from her pocket, lit one, lowered her head and didn't know what she was thinking, and when half of the cigarette was burned, she suddenly raised her head and leaned towards me.

I'm used to Zhang Momo's usual coldness, and she deliberately keeps a distance from anyone, but now, her face is almost on mine, and I am very uncomfortable, and I can't help but shrink my neck.

"You know ......" Zhang Momo stared into my eyes and said slowly, "Do you know how I died?" ”
