Chapter 2: Old Black Bend

After three days and three nights of green train, I finally arrived at the destination, Xilin County Railway Station, which is a location according to the notes left by my mother, and it can be said that I have just walked half the way after arriving here.

Even if I am in very good health, I can't bear the tiredness on the way, Xilin County is very remote, very poor and backward, after leaving the train station, I feel that this is not like the county seat at all, but I think it is a small town, and it is a particularly poor town.

"Gopi! Where's the gram? ”

Just as I was stunned for a moment, a man in a leather jacket walked by, with a cigarette in his hand, and spoke in a dialect I didn't understand.

Seeing him talking to me, I reacted, smiled at him, shook my head, and then asked, "Where is there a place to eat?" ”

He also froze for a moment, and then asked in broken Mandarin, "Stranger?" ”

Seeing me nodding, he then amused me and asked me to go with him, this man seems to be a person who often pulls business on the side of the station, and there are many such people on the side of the station.

After walking for a while, he led me into a small inn, the first floor is a place to eat, the second floor is a hotel, after entering, he spoke the local dialect and nodded to a woman, and then, a menu was placed in front of me, and after eating a bowl of noodles, I felt much more comfortable in my stomach.

The leather jacket sat down in front of me again and asked me, "Little brother, are you here to visit relatives?" ”

I casually said that I came to play, this person's eyes narrowed, he smiled, shook his head and said, "What is there to play in this place?" We're in the middle of nowhere. ”

I didn't bother to bother with his disbelieving look, but after thinking about it, I just hadn't figured out what to do next, so I just asked him, so I took out a piece of paper and handed it to the leather jacket according to the name written in my mother's notebook.

"Mom, what's wrong here."

I saw his somewhat surprised expression and hurriedly asked, "Do you know here?" ”

The leather jacket lit a cigarette and handed me another one, and I waved my hand and pulled my own cigarette out of my pocket and motioned for him to smoke mine.

"People in the city are just different, this smoke is really good."

As soon as I heard this, I gave him the remaining half of the box, and asked him to quickly tell me where this place was, and the leather jacket happily put away my half bag of Marlboro, and then looked up cautiously around, and then said:

"Little brother, you can't go to this place!"

"Why can't you go?"

There was a touch of caution in the eyes of the leather jacket, and he told me: "This big dragon mountain is also called Guillotine Mountain, and the mountain is said to be haunted, and some people have seen the Yin soldiers borrowing the way." ”

I was stunned for a moment, and then I smiled wryly, and I didn't take it seriously, and listened to him continue: "Young man, don't believe it, last year, the sheep of Ermazi's family ran away, he went up the mountain to look for it, and he met the Yin soldier aisle, and was blown out of the yang fire on his shoulder, and died of a serious illness after coming back. ”

I shook my head and asked him directly where he was going, how to go, as for the rest, anyway, I didn't believe it, the leather jacket didn't believe me, and I didn't say much, I just said: "Oh, young people are like this, you don't believe it or not, anyway, I said, no one dares to go to that place, if you really want to go, we have a bus in the morning, go to Longwang Village, you get off at the old black bend, and you can walk along the black dirt road to Dalongshan, where there is a land temple, you can see it along the road, there is, However, the distance is very long, and no one has been there for many years, and the fire brigade has occasionally patrolled a few times. ”

This leather jacket is also enthusiastic, and told me some things to pay attention to, I saw that it was afternoon, and there was no car, and I inquired, there is no taxi or anything like that, I want to go to Dalongshan, I can only wait for the bus tomorrow morning, I thought about it and stayed in this hotel.

In the evening, I asked around the leather jacket if there were any places selling travel goods or anything like that, after all, you have to walk and go up the mountain, and you can't do it without some guys.

Leather Jacket said that this was not a tourist place, and that it was a county town, but it was actually the size of a small town, so he showed me the way and told me some places to sell groceries and hardware.

After buying some simple equipment, buying some food and water, and filling up my backpack, I returned to the hotel, until the next morning, under the guidance of a leather jacket, I got on a dilapidated bus, which was a very old bus, and there were not many people, and the driver asked me where I was going, and I said casually: "Dalongshan"

"Dalongshan? Where are the waves? ”

The driver also froze, probably wondering why I was going there, and I followed what my leather jacket told me: "Get off at Old Black Bend"

The driver saw that I spoke Mandarin, not a local, and didn't want to say anything, so he didn't ask, and said casually:

"One Piece of Two"

The car is very bumpy, along the way to my breakfast upside down, and the road is very difficult to walk, many places are winding mountain roads, the driver master drove very fast, along the way to make me a little frightened, but look at several other passengers are a very natural look, there are a lot of melon seeds.

I didn't understand their local dialect, and I didn't listen to them, but looking out the window, the scenery in the mountains was indeed very different, and people like me who have lived in the city since I was a child have only seen this kind of scenery on TV, and I am very curious.

The car drove for more than two hours, and the driver braked sharply and muttered, "It's good to remember, I almost drove it, young man!" You've gotten to the place! ”

The driver's Mandarin was very lame, but I could still understand, nodded, picked up the travel bag, and was about to get out of the car, when the driver kindly reminded me in Mandarin: "This is my car, two days and a round trip, you have to go back, tomorrow this point is waiting here." ”

Then, the driver said: "What the hell is this place, making waves?" ”

I smiled and nodded, didn't say anything, picked up my travel bag and got out of the car, when the old bus left, I looked around, and realized why the people in the car, including the driver, were staring at me with strange eyes, because the environment here is really uncomfortable.

The eyes are all black mountain green forests, the leather jacket said that the path, is a very narrow and narrow at all, even two people can not walk side by side, and it has been overgrown with weeds, do not look carefully can not see the road here, look around, a silence, occasionally some bird calls came, I estimated, this radius of dozens of kilometers is estimated to be no one at all, people who come to this kind of place are not sick or what.

I don't want to think too much, my person's state of mind itself is a little different from that of normal people, I picked up my travel bag and walked towards the quiet path, now it is noon, I took out a bread and nibbled a few bites, and drank a few sips of bottled mineral water.

After walking along the path for about an hour, I felt a little uncomfortable, and I didn't know why, I always felt that someone was following me, but when I looked back, I didn't find anything, and I suddenly thought to myself, could it be a beast or something? Thinking about it like this, I was immediately vigilant, and took out a short knife from the side of the travel bag, which I bought in a small hardware store yesterday, this knife is very sharp, and narrow, and has a blood groove, it has been bladed, it belongs to that kind of hunting knife, it seems that there are still a lot of hunting in the local area, but unfortunately I didn't buy a gun.

As I continued to walk, the environment here gradually became a little darker, the surrounding land was black, and the dense jungle looked like a primeval forest, covering the sun in the sky, and what made me uncomfortable was the environment here, very damp, and an indescribable sense of depression.

I calculated that according to the time, it should be almost to the land temple that the leather jacket said, but I walked for a while and still didn't find where the so-called land temple was, just when I wanted to find a place to rest, suddenly, a very sharp bird cry came, in this environment, I had to be vigilant, subconsciously arched my body, the hunting knife backhand held across the chest, for my own skills, I still have some confidence, even if there is a tiger, I can fight.

But after waiting for a long time, I didn't notice anything unusual around me, but the birdsong had a feeling that went straight to people's hearts, which made people very depressed.

At this moment, I suddenly felt a chill in my neck, it seemed that there was a cold wind blowing through my neck, subconsciously turned my head, a huge head stood in front of me, I was shocked, a cold sweat instantly came out from behind, it turned out to be a human bear.

I still know this kind of thing, this beast is very terrifying, it can directly plunder cattle and horses for food, it is not human at all, I twisted my body in an instant and jumped away from its side.

At the moment when I jumped away, a cold wind swept across my chest, and the barb-covered claws almost scratched my chest, and I was secretly frightened: "If the hell touches me, it won't open my stomach directly." ”

This guy in front of me is definitely not something I can compete with, my mind is flying, the hunting knife is clenched, don't look at this man-bear's bloated body, but his movements are extremely flexible, as if he wants to touch my head, he directly slapped my head with a paw.

I quickly dodged and swung my hunting knife quickly, thinking, "You really think I'm a vegetarian!" ”

The tip of the knife suddenly pierced into the man-bear's big arm, and the sharp hunting knife only made its big arm reveal a shallow blood mark, which was really rough and thick.

This thorn immediately provoked the man-bear, and when the man-bear saw the blood, he became even more ferocious, roared, as if he was crazy, and crashed into me.
