21. Open the way
Yang Fei saw that my face had changed, smiled at me, then looked at the bearded people and asked, "What do you think?" Could the entrance to 131 be what I said? ”。
The beard nodded and said, there is a possibility.
Yang Fei continued: "So, I think we should choose a path on the left to come out. Which one do you say is the best choice? ”。
When Yang Fei said this, he didn't make a face to me again. Geng Yan also looked curiously at the two passages on our left, looked at it for a while and said to Hu Zi: "Didn't you just say that you have already walked through all the passages?" What did they encounter? ”。
Hu Zi said that it was a dead end inside, like a dead end. There is no access anywhere else. If you insist on breaking through, it's not impossible to get through, but it takes some effort, and it's full of horizontal and vertical plants.
Yang Fei said: "Then we will force our way through." There are a lot of people here, and we are not afraid that we will not be able to get out of this forest by taking turns to open the way. ”。
And so it was settled. When we set off, I was still in a daze, and I didn't know what Yang Fei and Geng Yan had done just now.
We chose a relatively spacious road to move forward, and the front was quite good, and it was because of this that I had the spare energy to rethink what happened to Yang Fei and Geng Yan just now.
No matter what the reason was for Yang Fei and Geng Yan to suspect that there was something wrong with the beard, this was not an absolute conclusion.
I thought about it carefully, and I thought that maybe Yang Fei and Geng Yan were due to a mistake in judgment, or maybe I misunderstood what they meant.
First of all, after Beard told me about him and Feijing, I concluded that this person was not wrong with Beard, because I didn't think I was lying to us, and I needed such a long story. Secondly, it is a kind of mystical intuition, which is my intuition about the positioning of the beard itself.
My gut tells me that there is nothing wrong with the beard.
But I'm not sure if there's a problem with the dragon's tooth and the Tibetan mastiff girl, because I don't know these two people very well, and besides, they saved my life. In my heart, I have rejected that these two will be bad for us.
Actually, there is another possibility....
Suddenly, my heart moved, could it be that Yang Fei and Geng Yan have a problem?
I've always been a very smart person, at least I think I'm smart, and there's no reason why I can't see flaws like these two women.
In my consciousness, the beards have never expressed any abnormal behavior, and where did Yang Fei and Geng Yan see it?
Thinking about it, I felt like my head wasn't enough, and eventually as the road became harder and harder, my attention shifted to other places.
In any case, now is not the time to draw conclusions, things are so complicated that I have nothing to worry about, everything is to take one step at a time, all I can do is try not to trust anyone, and then raise my vigilance.
The most important thing is to get out of the predicament in front of you.
We had come to the end of the road, and we watched as large thumb-sized vines and trees intertwined with trees formed a wall of unknown depth.
I smacked my tongue when I saw it, if I opened a way out, it would be a lot of work, and I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to get out of here before dawn.
I asked the beard, "You were like this when you left?" ”。
The beard panted, thinking that I was scolding him and wanted to stare at him, but he quickly reacted and replied: "It's all the same, when Lao Tzu was on the second road, he tried to open the way with a machete and walked a distance inside." In the end, I really couldn't stand that kind of suffering, so I had to retreat. ”。
It's understandable, but when you drill in a dense forest, especially at night, the first thing to overcome is the fear in your heart, and the second is your physical endurance.
It's a very physical thing, and I've been in a cornfield in the countryside before, and it's a feeling that I feel like when I think about it now.
The 'Yang Xiaoqi' next to him said: "There should be a node on this road, as long as we come at that time, there may be a road, otherwise all roads are this virtue." "He said it confidently.
Looking at his self-righteous face, I felt unhappy and scolded him. Look at the others and ask what they mean.
Both the dragon's tooth and the Tibetan mastiff girl suggested that we go through the woods and get out.
Yang Fei and Geng Yan said that they didn't know what dangers would be in the forest here, and besides, it was easy to get lost in it, so it was not recommended to move on.
Everyone looked at me as if they were waiting for me to make a decision. I'm very curious, when did Lao Tzu become your head?
When I looked at it again, I found that those who were in favor of continuing to go and those who were in favor of returning were exactly half to half. The key vote is in my hands.
After much deliberation, I finally agreed to burrow out of the woods. If nothing else, the first thing is that our equipment and numbers give me the courage to break into this wood. The second is that the location of the woods here is not very remote after all, and it is man-made, not a real primeval forest. So don't worry too much about the danger, we use guns in our hands, even if we encounter large beasts, it is enough to deal with it.
If, according to what Yang Fei said, go back to Ling to find a way out, then the amount of work will be large, and we will suffer a loss in time. In my consciousness, the sooner I find the entrance to 131, the better. It's not worth the time you lose because you're going the wrong way.
Everyone listened to me and nodded. Hu Zi said: "I didn't expect you to be so thoughtful, yes, you have my style." ”。
Beard is a man of action, and after hearing that everyone has no opinions, he said to us: "Then I'll be the roadrunner, and when I'm tired, I'll change to someone else." Comrades, we must show the determination of the Red Army to cross the grassland in those years, and we will definitely be able to get out of this ghost forest. ”。
After the beard finished speaking, he pulled out the Miao knife on his back, I looked a little familiar, and after thinking about it carefully, I remembered that this was the one used in the flying mirror in the photo studio at that time.
He was ahead of us to clear the way. Because it was night, the air in the forest was not as hot as during the day, and even a little cooler. But even then, his beard quickly became covered in sweat.
I had to take his place. Who would have thought that after just cutting out a dozen steps, his whole hands would be numb. This kind of hard work is really not something I can do.
I shook my head and gave the knife to the dragon's tooth again, then shrank back.
I don't know what kind of plant the plant here is, and sometimes it has no effect at all, but the knife edge is often entangled by vegetation.
We went all the way to the back of the Oriental Yubai, and there was still no improvement, and there were still dense trees in front of us without end.
I was a little dazzled, and I felt that the world was spinning, and I couldn't even lift it. The beard saw my strange appearance and sang a mountain song to refresh us.
His own voice is not very good, and he is not singing properly, no matter how he listens, it seems to be a conjuring spirit.
I looked at the Tibetan mastiff girl who didn't say a word, and I really didn't understand how this woman could do so without changing her face.
It was soon dawning, but the dense foliage of the trees made it impossible to see the sunlight outside. It's very hot and humid, and it looks like it's going to rain a few more times in a row.
We've been on the road for three hours straight, and we've only walked less than twenty miles, which shows how slow we are.
Suddenly, the beard in front of us screamed and told us to come and look.
I didn't know what was going on, but I immediately felt sick when I ran over curiously.
I saw a rotting corpse hanging on the tree in front of me, which was swaying automatically without wind, and it looked very strange.
