Chapter 50: The Night Road

(This article is edited based on the real events contributed by netizens, thanks to the material for providing netizens: Miaoer.) )

It happened in 2010 in a small village in Zhongfang County, Huaihua City, Hunan Province, and it was my brother's personal experience......

My brother had just graduated that year, and my father found him a job at the credit union through connections, which was a decent job at the time......

I didn't know that the county seat was very far away from our village at that time, and my brother had to take a bus for more than an hour every day after work, and then walk for more than half an hour to get home.

We all know that our Huaihua is located in a remote location close to Xiangxi, which is known as 100,000 mountains, and it is indeed a place where there are no three miles of flat, and the population is very backward, there are no street lights on the mountain road, and my brother will carry a flashlight with him every day.

I remember one day in November of that year, my brother got off work and had dinner with a few new colleagues, drank a little wine, got off the last bus and walked on the mountain road home in a daze, it was already more than 11 o'clock in the evening.

At that time, there were no pedestrians on the mountain road, there was no sound at all in the silence around them, and only the footsteps of my brother could be heard in the huge mountains......

My brother later said that he walked this mountain road every day, and he usually didn't feel scared at all, but he didn't know what happened to him that night, and he always felt very panicked and had a bad premonition......

Just as my brother was puffing up and persuading himself not to be cranky, the flashlight in my brother's hand suddenly went out......

The night in the mountains was long and extremely dark, and now that the only light source was gone, the surroundings were suddenly plunged into incomparable darkness, which suddenly made my brother a little overwhelmed.

At first, my brother didn't think much about it, thinking that the flashlight was out of order and the contact was not good, so he slapped it a few times, but the flashlight still didn't light up.

My brother patted it for a while to see that it had no effect, so I thought that the battery had run out, but fortunately, my brother often walked at night, so he had already been prepared, and he carried a few batteries in his pocket.

The elder brother took out the old battery from the flashlight and installed the spare new battery.

I thought it would be okay now, but after putting in the new battery, the flashlight still didn't light up.

My brother was a little panicked at the time, could it be that the spare battery he was holding was broken? There is no light in this huge mountain, so what is the next road?

According to my brother's recollection, even if there was no flashlight, there was some hazy moonlight and starlight in the mountains, and the road could always be seen clearly, but that day was very strange, it seemed that there was no light around at all, as if the whole world was dark, and even the sound seemed to disappear.

The elder brother said that he felt that he was left alone in the whole world, and that the feeling of darkness and silence gave people a suffocating sense of loneliness.

But even if it was so dark, he always had to go home, and my brother felt that this mountain road was familiar enough to walk by himself, and he could grope his way back to the village no matter how he walked.

The elder brother said that he relied on his memory to walk along the mountain road little by little, slowly and tentatively towards his home, and did not dare to go too quickly, for fear that it would be too dark and dangerous again......

After walking for about ten minutes, he suddenly noticed a little light in the woods in front of him.

The light was two yellow lights side by side, much like the lights of a farm car or a car, which made my brother very happy.

But the elder brother said that his mind was a little confused at the time, and he had never thought about how the car could appear in the mountains, where the woods were dense and it was impossible for the car to drive up.

Anyway, he thought he had to catch up with the car so that he could follow it back to the village, so he kept chasing the two yellow lights.

The two yellow lights also seemed to be deliberately guiding the way for his brother, although his brother never caught up, but the two lights never left his brother's sight.

After walking for about twenty minutes, my brother began to feel a little strange, and he should have returned to the village a long time ago, but there was still a dense forest in front of him, and he didn't feel like he was going home at all.

The more my brother walked, the more he felt that something was wrong, those two lights kept floating in the woods, what kind of car would flutter in the woods.

At this time, my brother's brain was excited, and he came to his senses a little, and he immediately stopped.

At this time, my brother found that the two yellow lights had also stopped, and they were constantly shaking in the forest, as if beckoning my brother to come over.

The elder brother said that he looked at the two yellow lights for a while, only to feel a confusion in his mind, and only those two weird yellow lights were left in his mind.

There was only one thought left in his mind at that time, and that was that he must follow the two lights so that he could return home.

As soon as this thought rose, the two yellow lights in front of him seemed to be brighter, as if there was some kind of magic, and nothing existed in the whole world, and only those two yellow lights remained.

The elder brother said that he unconsciously took another step to follow the two yellow lights.

"Didn't see anything all night." But at this time, my brother suddenly heard the voice of someone talking behind him.

"What are you going to do, young man?" With the voices behind him, my brother felt like a lightning bolt in his head, and suddenly became very awake, and the surroundings immediately lit up, and all kinds of natural sounds returned.

"Come back, young man, how dangerous it is!" When my brother looked back, he saw two people calling themselves on the path between the woods with flashlights.

But as soon as he heard the two people say that he was in danger, his brother quickly looked down and looked around, but this sight immediately frightened him......

It turned out that he was standing on the edge of a cliff for a while, and if he had taken such a step forward just now, he would have fallen and broken his bones, and his family would not even be able to find his corpse......

We in Xiangxi are all this kind of cliffs that stand upright like a blade, and the roads are all winding mountain paths, but few people fall to their deaths, because everyone knows the danger of the cliff, if you accidentally fall down, even if you have the power to return to heaven, you have to fall to death, and the bones are buried under the cliff.

At this time, my brother was so frightened that his legs were limp and he sat on the ground, and his hands supported the ground and retreated back again and again, at this time, my brother looked at the cliff nearly 100 meters high, and his heart was full of fear, goosebumps were all over his body, and he really couldn't understand how he came here.

Even for my brother, who has lived in the mountains since he was a child, he was so frightened that he sat on the ground and couldn't get up because he looked at the deep cliff under his feet, and he was in a cold sweat that broke out, and his heart was endlessly afraid.

If I had really taken that step after those two lights just now, I am afraid that I would have been a mess of meat at the bottom of the cliff by now, and I don't know when my body will be found, maybe I will not be found in this life, but will be eaten by the beasts in the mountains......

"Young man, you must be on the hook! In the future, don't go on a night walk to see everything, believe everything. ”

"Whew...... Thank you! Thank you two uncles for saving your life! If it weren't for your ......"

"Don't thank you for your kindness, don't look at it when you walk alone at night in the future."

Then my brother followed the two uncles down the mountain, and I heard the two uncles say that there are a lot of evil things in this mountain......

"If you hadn't met us today, I'm afraid you would have been lying at the bottom of that cliff blowing a cool breeze by now!" I heard from the two uncles that in the early years, there were often people who walked at night who were fascinated by evil things and died inexplicably, so most of the experienced people who walked at night later would walk together.

When my brother heard what they said, he also understood a little, and now that he thinks about it, those two yellow lights don't look like any car lights, but more like the eyes of some kind of big animal......

"Uncle, thank you for sending me here! Let's go to my house and sit down for a cup of tea! ”

"Young man, it's early in the morning, you better hurry home!"

"No, no, you saved my life, how can I not invite you into the house to sit down!"

"If you really want to thank us, tomorrow you will pass by the mountain road, pass through the big forest on the east side of the mountain road, and bring us a good pot!"

The two kind-hearted uncles escorted the elder brother to the entrance of the village, and the elder brother repeatedly invited the two uncles to sit at home to express his gratitude, but for some reason the two uncles refused, but left an address and turned away......

Early the next morning, on the way to work, my brother brought a pot of wine and some fruit from home, thinking that when he walked the mountain road, he would send them to the home of the two uncles.

The elder brother walked for a long time and finally saw the forest that the two uncles said, which was full of branches and weeds, and the elder brother had never been here, and he was curious about why the two old men lived here.

But with sincere gratitude, my brother still went in......

My brother walked for a long time to pass through the long woods, but to my brother's surprise, there were no paths or people......

This is actually a cliff, and in front of you is only the abyss at your feet and the dense woods behind it......

My brother is really frightened now, thinking that this is too evil! But my brother thought about it again, and suddenly understood a little, maybe God took pity on him, or maybe these two kind-hearted mountain ghosts wanted to help him......

But anyway, last night the two uncles did not harm themselves but saved their own lives, thinking of this, the elder brother respectfully walked to the two graves......

The elder brother knelt in front of the grave and kowtowed, then offered the fruit in front of the grave, and spilled the pot of wine he brought in front of the grave......

I believe that many of you have experienced that under the effect of fear and loneliness, every bit of wind and grass will torture our nerves.

Experiments have been conducted abroad to prove that the sixth sense of the human being is very accurate in situations of extreme tension and fear. That is to say, the eyes that look at us in the darkness at night may really exist?
