Chapter 269: Rushing to the Night
Wang Chuyi frowned, and kept urging me to drive Chen Xiaozheng out, but I thought he was too dirty and didn't want to do anything, so I took out a wooden stick from the backyard and drove him away, and it took a lot of effort to drive him out of the yard.
Wang Chuyi frowned, "It's really unlucky to just set off when you encounter such an unlucky thing." ”
I didn't really care about this, I picked up the equipment and prepared to go, because of the previous experience of inverting the bucket, this time Wawu Mountain is a plateau dense forest environment, unlike Kunlun Mountain and Gansu Gobi, we don't need to carry too much water and physical objects, so I try to empty my backpack, bring a lot of insect repellent spray and homemade gas bottles, as well as medical supplies in case of emergency.
We took two trains, a long bus, and finally stopped a villager's donkey cart and headed for a small village at the foot of Wawu Mountain, which was the last stop to enter the Wawu Mountain burial complex, and after this small village, there was no sign of human activity in front of it.
Along the way, the donkey cart stopped and stopped, and the eldest brother who drove the car would ask us some questions from time to time, most of which were attempts, such as what do people in the city like to do now? What do you like to listen to? Obviously, the information about the small villages they live in is lagging behind.
The donkey cart walked on the muddy path, there was a deep ravine on the left, and a towering mountain on the right, covered with arm-thick trees, the air here was very good, and Wang Chuyi and I lay side by side on the donkey cart and enjoyed this rare time.
"You strangers have been coming to our village these days." The eldest brother who drove the donkey cart said with a smile on his face.
"Big brother, are there a lot of people coming here these days?" I asked.
The eldest brother flicked a whip to speed up the donkey, and said, "No, there have been two groups of people, and you are the third." ”
As he spoke, he continued to drive until the sun was about to set, and the donkey cart was still moving on the muddy path, when the eldest brother who was driving the cart seemed to be in a hurry, and kept whipping the donkey pulling the cart, and the look on his face was a little nervous.
Seeing his appearance, Wang Chuyi asked, "What's wrong, big brother?" See you're in a hurry? ”
The eldest brother looked at us and said, "You are strangers, you don't understand our place, we can't go on the road at night, and there have been a lot of things before." ”
I couldn't help but be curious, so I sat up and chatted with the eldest brother, the eldest brother was also very enthusiastic, basically I asked him anything, he knew everything he knew would tell me, after chatting for a while, I learned that their village is in the middle of nowhere, the village people rarely go out, if anyone wants to get out of the village, then they have to set off when it is dark, and they have to rush back before dark, if there is anything delayed in the town, then the people in the village will stay in the town for one night and then come back, generally do not walk at night.
Two years ago, the strong man in the village drove a donkey cart back to the village from the town, this man was one of the best hunting masters in their village, burly and bold, that day he was in a hurry to go home because his son had a fever, so he walked at night.
A hunter like him, who wanders in the mountains and forests all the year round and lives by hunting and selling money, is naturally bold and does not believe in evil, and the donkey cart runs wildly, but the next day the chickens in the village have begun to crow, and still no one else returns, and his daughter-in-law is in a hurry, so she goes to the captain of the village.
The captain of the village mobilized the young men of the village to look for it, and after taking pictures on the road for most of the day, he finally found the body of the big man on a tree, and everyone was frightened at that time, the big man's eyes were gone, and his body was full of cuts, and he was torn like a rag doll, and the donkey was also dead, and the donkey's stomach was disemboweled, and the internal organs were dug out, and he was thrown under the tree.
At last the village captain took a dozen young men and walked under the tree, wanting to get the body of the big man down, so that he could go back to the village to bury him, but found that the donkey had moved, and the dead donkey suddenly stood up, hung an empty body, walked forward a dozen steps, and then fell to the ground again, and they all saw it clearly, and a black object jumped out of the donkey's belly, very much like a doll, and ran away in a smoke.
The villagers were timid and didn't dare to chase after them, but they just put the big man down from the tree and brought him back to the village, and then the news spread in the village, and after that, the village had a rule of not walking at night, but over the years, there were always one or two people who did not believe in evil and were in a hurry to return to the village, so they would rush to the night road, but none of them were spared and all died in the forest.
Speaking of this, the eldest brother pointed to a tree not far away, "Look, it's that tree, and the hunter died on that tree, and then the village brigade asked us to paint the tree red with red paint, saying that it can ward off evil spirits." ”
I looked in the direction of his finger, and sure enough, in the woods, there was a waist-thick tree, and the entire trunk of the tree was painted with red paint, which was very eye-catching, as if it were a landmark.
The big man kept twitching the whip, and while telling the donkey to go faster, he said, "Don't worry, it's not far from our village here, and you will definitely be able to rush back before dark, don't be afraid." ”
The eldest brother said Let's not be afraid, but fine sweat was already oozing from his forehead, I don't know if it was because he was nervous and scared, or because he was tired from a long time of whipping.
The sun in this mountain is different from the city, as soon as the sun sets, in a short time, the forest becomes pitch black, the donkey cart keeps rushing forward, and the whip in the hand of the eldest brother who drives the car keeps pumping.
At this time, it was completely dark, so I took out a flashlight from my backpack to help my eldest brother who was driving the car to light the way, while Wang Chuyi took out a torch from his backpack and lit it to illuminate the surroundings of the donkey cart.
"Drive, drive......" The voice of the eldest brother shouted changed, and he could hear that he was very nervous now.
"Nothing. It's going to be there in a while. "Big brother comforted us with a local accent.
I patted him on the shoulder, smiled at him and said, "It's okay big brother, don't be nervous, we will definitely go back." As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt that something appeared next to our car.
Now that the speed of the donkey cart had almost reached its limit, and it was impossible to increase it any faster, I vaguely felt a black shadow running forward on the side of the cart, and this black shadow was very nimble and cunning, keeping a distance from us, hiding in the shadows where the torch light could not shine.
