Volume 2 Chapter 220 'River Styx'
The two left the peach blossom forest, looking at the world around them along the way, it was like coming to Tao Yuanming's "Xanadu", except for the lack of people, everything here is so beautiful.
Although this place is beautiful, but Yang Fan and the others have no intention of appreciating it, the more beautiful the place, the more dangerous it is, Yang Fan doesn't know who said it, but it probably means so.
The two came to the side of a river, and when they saw this river, Yu Min's cheeks twitched, and so did Yang Fan.
"I'll tell you the truth, this river and the river we encountered are simply carved out of the same mold, Brother Yang, do you think we should go over and take a look, or do we turn a blind eye?"
Yang Fan pondered for a while and then laughed, "Since we came through this river, can we go back through this river?" ”
"Yes, since they brought us here, they can take us back too! Brother Yang, let's go, I really don't want to stay here, although this place looks beautiful, but who knows that this place is not a hidden murderous machine? After Yu Min finished speaking, he pulled Yang Fan and walked through the path paved with stones, and the two came to the river.
The water here, I don't know if it's because of the color of the sky or other reasons, the two of them look a little blue in the river, just like the sea, but it's much lighter than that color, maybe it's a visual problem!
The two of them did not get entangled, and when they came to the river, they found that there was a bridge in front of them, a very simple bridge, as if it had been built specifically to cross the river.
Two tree trunks, about a dozen centimeters long, are close to each other, and the two of them can see the river below through the gap between the trunks.
"Ah, this ...... What is this thing, I ...... I ......"
Yang Fan walked behind, and suddenly Yu Min, who was walking in front, exclaimed, and sat in place, holding the trunk of the tree tightly with both hands, and his body was still trembling slightly, Yang Fan asked with concern:
"What's the matter, you can't be afraid of heights, right?"
Yang ...... Brother Yang, I, I just glanced at the river below, guess what I saw? ”
Yu Min's tone was a little erratic, and there was obviously a sense of fear, and his body trembled again after talking about the things in the river.
"In addition to the water, there are only fish in the river, so did you see the fish?"
"No, not a fish, but a human face, a human face covered in blood."
Yu Min's body trembled a little, his eyes were tightly closed and he didn't dare to look at the river, Yang Fan glanced at the river with some doubts, except for the clear river water and pebbles, there was nothing else, Yang Fan stepped forward and patted Yu Min's shoulder.
"Brother Yang, let's hurry over, I'm a little scared." Yu Min stood up with Yang Fan's support, but he still didn't dare to look at the river.
The two walked quickly across the river, and the strange thing was that after coming to this side of the river, it was obviously sunny and shining, but Yang Fan clearly felt a coldness, goosebumps on his arms rose, and he suddenly turned to look behind him, except for aquatic plants and some trees that could not be named.
Yu Min looked around very nervously, walking beside Yang Fan, his body trembling slightly, and at this time Yu Min said softly:
"When I was a child, I lived with my grandparents, and at that time my parents were busy all over the country, so I was put by my parents at my grandparents' house in the countryside because of work."
"My grandparents live in Xiangxi, and they also believe in the Gu art of the Wu clan, not to drive out the corpses as they used to say on the Internet, but to pray for the dead, which is somewhat similar to the transcendence of Buddhism."
"At that time, my grandfather told me that there are manifestations in this world that are not clear with scientific explanations, ghosts hitting walls and ghosts returning to ghosts, etc., and my grandfather said that I have some talents in some aspects, which may be that I can see some unclean things as I said before." fast
Speaking of this, Yang Fan was a little puzzled, what does this you said have to do with what you just saw, but Yang Fan did not interrupt Yu Min's words, and continued to listen to Yu Min.
"My grandfather said that there is a river in this world, and this river is like a river that separates the world from hell, and this river is called the 'River Styx', and there are all kinds of unjustly killed people in it, as well as those who died unexpectedly, and I saw from the surface of the river just now that there was a dead face in it, so I was like that just now."
Yang Fan did not mock her after Min finished speaking, which was also caused by the living environment when she was a child, and Yang Fan also had some unknown little secrets.
"Brother Yang, how do I feel a little colder here than there!" Yu Min tightened his clothes and looked at Yang Fan.
"Well, I have a clear feeling too, but let's go down the river first, it's best if we can go back, I still have a lot of food in my backpack."
"Uh-huh, just listen to you, let's go, Brother Yang."
The two of them walked forward, and the sun continued to glow and heat as if it wouldn't set.
Yang Fan was a little surprised to find that the river did not narrow, but gradually widened, this discovery made the two a little surprised, but they still put their hope on the river, and then continued to walk forward.
"Yang, Brother Yang, I'm cold, we can't go to the other side, it seems to be even colder here, I can't hold on anymore, my hands and feet are stiff."
Yang Fan exhaled into the air, you can clearly see the white fog in the air, this temperature is already very low, Yang Fan because he is a stranger, so he doesn't feel so obvious, with the light red mist in his mind, he instantly covered his body, his right hand stretched out and grabbed Yu Min's wrist, and the light red mist also instantly covered Yu Min's body, and suddenly Yu Min didn't feel so cold, and looked at Yang Fan with a surprised face.
"That's right, this can also be applied to others, which is also what I have been working on recently, but fortunately, it can be applied to you." After Yang Fan finished speaking, he gave Yu Min a bottle of water and a pack of compressed biscuits, and the two of them can only eat like this at present, and they don't know if they can find food here.
After the two of them ate briefly, they continued to walk forward, Yang Fan looked ahead casually, suddenly stopped and looked at it, a row of thatched houses appeared in the distance, and the smoke slowly rose, and Yang Fan and the two were very excited.
"Brother Yang, let's go over and take a look, there seems to be a crowd there, there may be a way to get out of here."
After saying that, the figures of the two slowly disappeared from sight, and the two came to a stop in front of the row of thatched houses.
A fence made of bamboo, in which crops Yang Fan and Yu Min had never seen before, smoke rising from the thatched roof on the far left.
"Is there anyone here, please? The two of us came here by accident, and we don't know much about the situation here, so we deliberately bothered here to ask about the situation here. Yang Fan opened his mouth and felt good about himself after speaking.
There was no sound from inside the house, the white smoke was still slowly rising into the air, Yu Min was looking at the row of thatched houses curiously, and Yang Fan was looking at the crops in the fence.
The two didn't dare to walk in rashly, who knew if it was Yang Fan who lived in it and they were familiar with the "human race", fortunately, they didn't let Yang Fan and the others wait long, and a middle-aged man dressed as a hunter came out of the thatched house, with a Chinese character face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a dark face, and a scruffy beard, it is estimated that he has not shaved his beard for a long time, holding a bow and arrow in his hand, Yang Fan's first glance was to observe this person, and the second glance focused on the bow and arrow in the hand of the national character face.
It's not like what the person in the Bow and Arrow Club said, this bow and arrow clearly has no bowstring, no, it's not that there is no bowstring, it's just that the bowstring is transparent, if it weren't for Yang Fan to look at it carefully, he really couldn't see it.
"You are outsiders."
Although he didn't understand what the national character face said, Yang Fan vaguely heard the meaning of what the man said with the national character face, and the vigilant eyes and the bow and arrow in his hand showed that he and Yu Min were outsiders and were not welcomed.
"We didn't have any malice, we came here inexplicably, we just wanted to inquire about this place, and how to get back."
Guozi looked at Yang Fan and Yu Min with a vigilant face, and did not reduce much hostility because of Yang Fan's words, but put down the bow and arrow in his hand, and stood in the thatched house and looked at Yang Fan and the two with cold eyes.
