Chapter 186: Ghost Tower in the Jungle
As soon as Huzi heard that Zhang Wuxing had reached such a point, where did he still have the heart to rest, without saying a word, he picked up Zhang Laodao and walked forward.
I picked up the kettle on the ground, picked up the Miao knife and hurriedly followed.
But the bushes here were so dense that the view was obstructed, and the compass was out of order, so we couldn't tell the way, let alone the exact location, and now we didn't even know where we were.
I took out my phone and looked at it with luck, but it turned out to be just as I expected, there was no signal at all, and we almost broke into a place completely cut off from the outside civilization, as if we were on an alien planet.
Walking all the way forward in the dense forest, although we couldn't tell the direction, as long as we walked in one direction, we would definitely be able to get out, but before that, we had to find a safe place, preferably a boulder for cover, or an open ground.
At this moment, Huzi suddenly said, "Lao Bai, look ahead, there is an open space!" Let's get over there! As soon as the words fell, Huzi was about to move forward, and when I saw the appearance of the clearing, I couldn't help but gasp, and grabbed Huzi's arm, and said, "Damn, it's a swamp!" ”
Huzi hurriedly stopped and asked, "How do you know?" ”
I pointed to the edge of the swamp and said, "You have learned all the survival training in the army, there are no large plants on that ground, the bushes are gone here, and there is a lot of moss growing on the soil, it must be very humid, such a dense forest, it is impossible to appear such a large open space for no reason, if my guess is right, this is just a thin layer of soil, and under this soil layer is a mire, if you step on this foot, you will definitely sink into it!" ”
After listening to my words, Huzi took a closer look at the surrounding environment and said, "Damn, this five elements is estimated to be untenable, so we have to hurry up." ”
I roughly calculated the area of the swamp, and if I wanted to get around, I had to go to the side, so I slashed twice at the bushes on the left, cut a path, and led the tiger forward, and after walking a few hundred meters, I went to the right again, and made a V-shaped route, thinking that I should have crossed the swamp, so I climbed the tree to see.
I seemed to see five or six hundred meters away, there was a behemoth shaking its body, because I didn't climb high, my field of vision was not particularly wide, I could only see a rough idea, and I was afraid that if this giant beast came towards us, it would be dangerous, so I didn't dare to climb up again, dared to hurriedly come down from the tree, beckoned to the tiger, and walked in the opposite direction of the giant beast.
This way, we walked much faster than just now, and the bushes began to thin out gradually, until the sun was about to set, and then we walked out of the bushes and came to a relatively flat place.
"Lao Bai, I can't do it anymore, I have to take a break." Huzi was so tired that he sat on the ground, panting heavily.
I saw that the surrounding environment was quite safe, and just wanted to sit down and rest, I heard a faint crying sound, this sound was very familiar, just like what I heard in the tomb of King Liao, and I couldn't help but hear my scalp tingling.
Huzi also looked nervous and asked, "Damn, we won't still be in the tomb of King Liao, right?" It can't all be an illusion now, right? ”
I hurriedly waved my hand and said, "It will never be an illusion, I estimate that we have not yet left the coverage of King Liao's tomb, this is still a dangerous area, let's go further." With that, I got up and walked forward.
At this moment, Zhang Wuxing seemed to wake up and said in an extremely weak voice, "Water..."
Huzi and I heard Zhang Wuxing talking, and we were all happy in our hearts, which proved that this guy's vitality was still very tenacious, at least he knew that he wanted water to drink, and if it was someone else, he would have passed out a long time ago.
After giving Zhang Wuxing a drink, we didn't dare to stay for a moment, and continued to walk forward with Zhang Wuxing on our backs, probably only four or five miles of mountain roads, the sky was already completely dark, and we could only turn on the flashlight and go forward, this time the speed was reduced a lot, and along the way, the more we went forward, the clearer the crying sound, until now, the sound seemed to be in my ears.
Huzi bent down, looked forward carefully, and said, "Lao Bai, how can I see the light in front of me?" ”
I looked closely, and sure enough, at the end of the Huzi flashlight source, there was a dim light, seeing this, I couldn't help but feel happy in my heart, there is light to prove that there are people. But when I looked at it again, I realized that this light was just a reflection of the stream in the mountains, not inhabited, and the joy in my heart disappeared at once. ”
Huzi looked at it, then shook his head, and said, "No, no, how can I look at the house?" ”
"The house is a fart, how can there be a ...... in this deep mountain and old forest" I scolded the tiger, while turning to look, halfway through the words, it was stuck in the throat, not far from the stream irradiated by the tiger's flashlight, there is a building, revealing the tiles of the eaves and corners, it seems to be an old-style bell tower, look at the top of the bell tower, there is a big bell hanging in the eaves, just like the bell used by the monks in the Shaolin Temple, but the model looks bigger.
Seeing this, Huzi couldn't bear it anymore, and hurriedly said, "Lao Bai, let's hurry over and have a look, maybe this is a village, and when you get there, Zhang Wuxing will definitely be saved." ”
As soon as Huzi's voice fell, he didn't care about me at all, and walked in that direction with Zhang Wuxing on his back, although I was very puzzled in my heart, but I didn't care too much, I just wanted to hurry over and see if there was anyone who could take us in, so that Zhang Wuxing could rest and recuperate.
As we got closer to the village, the crying in my ears grew louder and louder, and I couldn't help but get nervous, and after crossing the stream, suddenly not far in front of me, I saw a vague figure, with its back to us, crouching on the ground, as if gathering something.
Huzi shone a flashlight forward, shouting "Hey, fellow, the three of us accidentally got lost, can we not ......" Huzi's words were general, and he was stuck in his throat, only to see the figure that was stopped by Huzi slowly turned around, the facial features on his face were very distorted, and the part of his nose was even exposed Sen Sen's white bones, the left cheek was no longer fleshy, and a row of white flowers and teeth were exposed, smiling at us, not to mention how terrifying it looked, at this time the figure seemed to be still waving towards us, signaling us to go over.
Seeing this situation, Huzi and I were so frightened that our souls were gone, and where did we dare to go over, so we hurriedly retreated until we reached the back of the stream, and then stopped.
Huzi turned on the flashlight and shone it in the direction just now, and found that the figure was not chasing after him, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Lao Bai, did you see the person just now?" ”
I nodded, looked up, and saw that the bell tower was still standing in the middle of the forest, and it looked very clear, but the scene just now was so strange that neither of us dared to take a step further.
