The blind mother-in-law stood at the mouth of the alley, her empty eyes seemed to be looking at the people who were carrying her long hair, and her expression looked very strange. A man in the village saw the blind mother-in-law and said to himself, "What's the matter with this blind old lady in the past two days, she keeps running out like a ghost." I don't usually see her a few times a year, and sometimes I think she's dead in the house. ”

The man walked up to the blind mother-in-law and said to her with a blank face, "You old lady, why do you keep running out if you don't stay at home?" Look at your weird look, don't scare the children in the village! ”

The blind mother-in-law was speechless.

She ignored the man's words, and walked on crutches towards the entrance of the village that led to the tip of the plum blossom. A dirt dog followed her, as if sniffing the scent of the blind mother-in-law, and after a while, the earth dog whimpered and ran away in the opposite direction.

"Where are we going to find Zhong Fei?" Shen Yuyu looked at Zhu Future and asked in a low voice. This plum blossom tip in a radius of more than ten miles is the most mysterious forbidden place in the Phoenix Mountain Mountains, and there is only one path to go down the mountain to reach Phoenix Village, what else can they do except follow this path leading to Phoenix Village to find all the way?

Zhu Future put Zhong Fei's dagger in his waist, put a kettle and a satchel on his back, and put the flashlight into the satchel. Then he picked up a stick and said to Shen Yuyu calmly: "You still stay here, guard the tent and our luggage, don't go down the mountain, I will go to find Zhong Fei myself, he may have lost his way in the forest." If you go with me, it's inconvenient, not only can you not help much, but I have to be distracted to take care of you, or I'd better go alone! ”

Shen Yuyu's face was embarrassed: "This-"

Zhu Future still calmly said to her: "You don't have to be afraid, it's daytime, there shouldn't be anything, and you can see the sun on the top of the mountain, even if there are any ghosts and monsters, it is impossible to appear in the sun, you can take the stick well, you can defend yourself." Whether I can find Zhong Fei or not, I will come back to you, don't worry. Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if I can't come back, don't walk around, don't go down the mountain alone, don't come to us, the food we prepare can make you last for two days, and then the people in the village will come to look for you, and you can see you at the top of the mountain. You must remember my words, Yuyu! ”

Shen Yuyu said, "No, I'm going with you!" ”

Zhu Future said: "I will never take you with me, if you have any problems, I will be sad for the rest of my life." Listen to me, stay here well, I promise you, I will come back to you! Okay, Yuyu? Don't fight with me, while it's still early, I'll hurry up to find Zhong Fei. ”

After speaking, Zhu Future walked down the top of the mountain without looking back and entered the forest.

Zhu Future disappeared from Shen Yuyu's eyes, and her tears rolled down silently. She saw that in the forest that Zhu Future entered, a group of frightened birds flew up in a daze and flew towards another place. Shen Yuyu, who suddenly became lonely, also felt the cold in the summer sun.

Zhu Future entered the forest, and the thick fog immediately wrapped him tightly.

In the thick fog, Zhu Future explored and advanced with a stick. The thick mattress of the forest threatened to sink his feet deep at any moment, and he was cautious and terrified with every step. Entering the forest, he vaguely felt that there was no turning back. He had the courage to grope in the confused forest, and occasionally there would be a sound of rustling in the forest, and Zhu Future would take a deep breath, clench the stick with both hands, and search the branches above his head, for fear that the poisonous snake would suddenly attack him. When he was sure that there were no poisonous snakes, he took a step, and walked forward with difficulty, one step at a time. Zhu Future shouted Zhong Fei's name loudly as he walked, and there was a deep echo in the forest.

Obviously, Zhu Future's search for Zhong Fei is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack. However, he had no other way, as long as there was a glimmer of hope, he would look for it in the forest. He believed that as long as Zhong Fei was alive, he would be able to hear his call. He also thought about going down the mountain with Shen Yuyu, but he didn't do that, and there was a voice in his heart that always reminded him: "You can't throw Zhong Fei, you can't-"

He has never been so brave as he is now in the face of unprecedented difficulties.

A green branch lay across in front of him, with thin, oval-shaped leaves, wet on the leaves, and transparent and crystalline droplets of water hung on the tips of the leaves, as if they would drip if there were slight fluctuations in the air. Zhu Future hesitated for a moment, then stretched out his hand and broke the green branch, and milky white juice flowed out of the fracture, sticking to his hand.

Zhu Future didn't care about the milky white juice, and continued to walk forward, shouting loudly: "Zhong Fei, where are you-"

I didn't take a few steps when I felt a strange itch on my hand that had been stuck with white juice just now.

He stopped, put the stick aside, and scratched the itchy place vigorously for a while, this itch connected his heart, and he couldn't stop it, Zhu Future gritted his teeth and endured it, he didn't know what this thing was, it would be so itchy, and the itch was so itchy that the bones would be crisp off. Zhu Future's heart was as uncomfortable as a cat scratch, he scratched the piece of meat, oozing blood juice, and he couldn't stop the itch. A faint smell of blood drifted from the thick fog. Zhu Future was so tormented by the itch that he had lost his judgment, the smell of blood was getting closer and closer, and he was completely unconscious.

Zhu Future leaned against a pine tree and gasped for breath.

Will he be tortured to death by this itch?

This forest is too dangerous, and if you are not careful, you will encounter troublesome things, not to mention the snakes and jackals that infest the jungle, and those unknown mysterious creatures, even such a green and beautiful looking branch, there are also hidden accidents. Zhu Future thought of the dry and charred hand that was stretched into the tent last night, could it be that the legendary wild man? Could it be that Zhong Fei was captured by that wild man?

Soon, several blisters appeared in the itchy area, like blisters after being burned by fire. The itching stopped, and a burning pain appeared, as if a red-hot soldering iron was clinging to his hand. Zhu Future was so painful that beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on his forehead, and he couldn't help but scream.

Zhu Future couldn't stop the hot pain, just like he couldn't stop the itching just now.

He screamed, but no one helped him, even when his throat was broken.

Zhu Future was desperate.

At this moment, Zhu Future heard the sound of rustling, and it seemed that someone was approaching him.

He hoped that it was the sound of Zhong Fei approaching him, maybe Zhong Fei was lost in the jungle, and now he heard Zhu Future's cry and was following the sound. This beautiful thought made Zhu Future shout loudly: "Zhong Fei, Zhong Fei, is it you-"

His shouts slowly spread through the thick fog, and it was a long time before a buzzing echo could be heard.

The sound of rustling is getting closer.

Zhu Future's tormented heart was beating wildly, he hoped that Zhong Fei was approaching him, but he didn't hear Zhong Fei's answer, maybe it was the wild man approaching him, or the spotted viper...... Zhu Fuqiang endured the hot pain, grabbed the stick, and held it tightly with both hands, he was ready to make the most tragic game with those terrible things - if it wasn't Zhong Fei.

A small black hole appeared in the thick fog.

The small black hole stretched out in front of Zhu Future's eyes.

Zhu Future saw clearly, it was a black muzzle, and the black muzzle was facing his eyebrows gloomily.

Zhu Future's blood became cold, the stick in his hand was of no use to this black muzzle, his lips moved, but he couldn't say anything.

Then he saw the sleek, blackened hands, the terrible hands that were aiming at his eyebrows with an old-fashioned rifle.

What suffocated Zhu Fufu the most was the face that loomed in the thick fog.

It was a scarred face with charred features twisted together, the small eyes on the face that shone with a strange and hateful light, and the two protruding front teeth looked very sharp......

Zhong Fei got up from the damp ground.

He remembered that the last time he passed out was when he crawled towards the flashlight, he found a skeleton lying next to him, his heart was hit hard by something, he mustered all his strength to crawl to the flashlight, grabbed the flashlight, and then passed out again, and in the moment before he fell unconscious, his hand subconsciously pressed the light of the flashlight.

Zhong Fei's face was badly swollen and painful, and those wounds looked like someone had sprinkled salt on them. The big bag on his head pressed there like a big rock, making it difficult for him to look up. His eyes were also swollen, and when he turned on the flashlight and went out, everything he saw overlapped. For example, the bones on the ground.

What is this place?

Is it hell?

Zhong Fei had forgotten how he had come to this cave, and he used his flashlight to shine on the top of the cave, but he didn't find any exit. Then, no outlets were found in the surrounding area. In the empty cave, except for him, there was only one living person, and there were more than a dozen skeletons. Who were these skeletons when they were alive? Why did you die in this closed cave?

There was a strong strange smell in the cave, he couldn't tell what it was, this strange smell made Zhong Fei want to vomit but couldn't vomit. He was sticky and smelled of sweat and mud. Zhong Fei's clothes also had many openings, and the torn flesh and skin were exposed in some places, he didn't dare to look at those places, and he forgot when it was cut.

Zhong Fei's lips were foaming, at this time, he was thirsty and hungry.
