Chapter 179: The Emerald Lake
When I woke up, everyone was safe and refreshed.
The moment Yu Fan opened the tent, the fresh air came to his face, it was really comfortable, for some reason, the sun here felt like it was coming out earlier, it was only seven o'clock in the morning, and the sun shone on the earth.
Everyone quickly packed their bags, set off, and continued to move forward in the direction guided by the map, about half an hour or so, the journey to the lawn was over, and the mountain road began again.
Chen Jiaoyang asked Shen Weidao: "Is this the deep mountain?" ”
Shen Weiwei pondered while holding the map as he walked: "It shouldn't be, I don't know, because it's the first time I've entered the deep mountains from this direction, and logically speaking, we have to pass through a very big lake, so that we can really enter the deep mountains." ”
Xinling: "But after walking so far and not seeing any lake, are you taking the wrong path?" ”
When Shen Wei was said like this, he also had some doubts about himself, so he took out his mobile phone and looked at the electronic map, but unfortunately this place was blank on the electronic map, and no one developed it, so it was better than the paper map in Shen Wei's hand.
Chen Xiangyang: "Then let's go forward and take a look, and the view should be clear at a glance when you climb to the top of the mountain." ”
There is no road in this mountain, and the slope is relatively steep, everyone relies on the dwarf trees next to them to move upward, the rain has been frequent recently, and the soil is very loose, so every step must be stepped on very solidly, Shen Wei walked in the front, using a knife to cut the rattan blocking in front of him, everyone is very careful, once they slip, maybe they will have to roll the hillside.
Yu Fan observed the grass and trees next to him along the way, and for some reason, Yu Fan always felt that something was not right.
After more than an hour of hard work, they finally climbed to the top of the mountain, and the five people were also out of breath, so they quickly found a place to sit and rest.
"Wow! Look! Xinling shouted excitedly, pointing up and down.
Everyone looked over, and wow, it turns out that there is really a lake on the other side of the mountain! Moreover, this lake is a bit outrageously large, and it seems that there is no end in sight, like a sea. I never expected to see so many strange scenes on this trip to Meridian Village.
Shen Wei pointed to the lake and said, "Wow, such a big lake? That's a lot more than I thought. The map marked this lake as small, and now we have to go around this lake and go into the mountains. ”
Looking down from the top of the mountain, the lake is green and secluded, like a big jewel, and a thin white smoke floats on this "big jewel", looming.
Xinling picked up the camera again to take pictures, which was really beautiful. I wonder if when people discover this undeveloped pure land, will it attract more people to "visit", and then developers will move in, then commercialize, and then transform this place into a man-made "natural scenic spot". If one day this earth ceases to be mysterious to mankind, then what will become of human pursuit?
When everyone was amazed by this scene, Yu Fan kept frowning, not knowing what he was thinking in his heart.
"Old Yu, come and see this!" Chen Jiayang greeted Yu Fan.
Yu Fan and Guo Na walked over, only to see Chen Jieyang lift a few branches with leaves, revealing the blackened charcoal fire traces on the ground.
Yu Fan squatted down and grabbed a carbon slag, rubbed it, and said, "It seems that someone did come to this place before us." ”
It's a sign of a fire, and it looks like someone had set up camp here, and they didn't forget to cover it with branches when they left. The traces of this campfire should be a few days old. Although a few days have passed, the traces of human treatment will still be inadvertently left.
Guo Na: "Is this the combination of tall and short people?" They actually took the road of shocking horses? The black shadow we saw in the frightened horse ravine, is it also them? ”
Yu Fan held his chin and said, "I don't know much about this, I just have an ominous premonition, we are getting closer and closer to them." ”
Chen Jieyang was still a little puzzled: "But they don't have locals to lead the way, how can they know about this path to the deep mountains?" Old Man Tian Kun didn't tell them about this path. How dare they take the risk of taking a new path on their own when they don't know the way? And when they ran into the Yin soldiers in the frightened horse gully, weren't they afraid? Who are they? What is their purpose? ”
Yu Fan said vigilantly: "Let's be careful, all the doubts will be over when they catch them and ask?" In fact, I have long felt that the series of events we have experienced are far from being as simple as pyramid schemes, and there must be an ulterior secret behind this. ”
Shen Wei also came over and said, "Let's leave when the rest is almost over, finish things early, and finish work early." ”
As the saying goes, it is easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down, and the road down the mountain should be walked slowly, after the morning climbing, everyone's thigh muscles began to ache, and it is inevitable to go down the mountain with a deep foot and a shallow foot, coupled with the luggage on the body, the load on the body is greater, and it will be ...... if you don't pay attention to it
Ah! Guo Na's legs were weak, he stepped on the air and slipped! Seeing that he was about to roll down the mountain, Shen Weiwei, who was standing at the front, grabbed a tree trunk with his hand and grabbed Guo Na with one hand, it was so dangerous! Guo Na regained his balance by holding on to the trunk of the tree, but his arm was cut by a branch, and blood oozed out.
Guo Na thanked Shen Wei. When Xinling saw Guo Na's wound, she asked the others, "Do any of you have a band-aid?" Bandage the young lady, she is bleeding. ”
Chen Jieyang said: "I have, when we get to the flat road in a while, let's deal with it again, the band-aid is in the bag, it's not easy to take it now." ”
Guo Na also said: "It's no big problem, let's move on, arrive at the destination early, let's go back early, otherwise it will be inconvenient to move when it gets dark." ”
Shen Wei turned around and said to everyone: "You all pay attention, you must be slow when going downhill, put the center behind, grab the trunk, don't scratch the branches." ”
After everyone confirmed, they continued to move forward, walking and walking, Yu Fan suddenly felt that he seemed to have a little tinnitus, and his consciousness was also a little trance, he shook his head vigorously, cheered up, and thought to himself, it may be because of the change in altitude caused by the change in the air pressure in the body, and sometimes I feel this way when I take a plane.
"Do any of you have a Band-Aid? Let's bandage Miss Guo Na, I see that she seems to be bleeding. Xinling said.
Chen Jieyang said a little puzzled: "Huh? Didn't you just ask this question? Why did you ask again? ”
Xinling was a little dazed: "Huh? Did I just ask? Why am I not impressed? Maybe I forgot? ”
Everyone's body and consciousness seem to have begun to deteriorate due to exhaustion.
Yu Fan raised his head, the good news is that he is about to reach the foot of the mountain, and hope is in front of him.
But what they don't know is that "hope" is just a trap of death for the prey.
Calmly, a few ripples quietly appeared on the surface of the lake.
