We are here to analyze the current situation without a match, and the sky is gradually getting dark.

The sun hung in the sky and sank towards the western mountains at a speed visible to the naked eye.

But Ouyang may have been gone for a while, but he hasn't seen him come back.

We waited patiently for more than half an hour, when the sun had completely set, and it was pitch black inside the mountains. At night, the mountains seem to enter another world.

During the daytime, you can see the scenery everywhere, one step at a time. And at night, all I can see is the shadows of the trees, and all I hear is the whining of the wind.

These scenes, except for giving people a sense of oppression, have nothing to appreciate.

So our hearts, too, tense as the sun sets.

Especially when Ouyang or left with the iron pillar, there was no news.

The fat man and I each lit a torch, and the light of the fire jumped, which made our hearts a little calmer. But despite this, Fat Dahai was a little impatient, he jumped off the bluestone, paced back and forth, and said, "I knew that we would go with him." You say this guy won't kidnap the iron pillar, right? ”

Ma Jian said to the fat man, "Stop a little." Didn't you hear him say that there was no need for more people? Young people have to calm down, don't panic if you have nothing to do. Hold it down, and wait. There's an iron pillar there, no problem. ”

Fat Dahai still respects Ma Jian very much, and he counted him down, and he rolled his eyes and didn't speak again.

Strange to say, just after we were arguing, the wind that had been blowing seemed to have stopped. There was a dead silence all around. It seems that this kind of stillness seems a little out of place in this mountain.

"Look."

Suddenly, a shout from the fat sea attracted both me and Ma Tan's attention.

The fat man stood on top of a large bluestone, and he was looking in the direction of the backwater lake just now, and his hand was pointing there.

"What did you find?" I answered, and hurriedly climbed up the bluestone with Ma Tan and looked down.

Standing on the bluestone, I can just see the pool of lake water below.

At this time, we are surprised by the scene that is unfolding.

The glittering pebbles on the shore of the lake that we had seen seemed to be much larger. There was originally only a narrow one, but now it has spread a lot.

The light that filled the shore of the lake, against the background of the moonlight, was really as bright as a jewel. The light on the ground and the starlight in the sky are very beautiful.

Fat Dahai asked, "Why are there so many more stones all of a sudden?" ”

Ma Tan said with a solemn face: "It's not that there are more stones, but that the lake is ebbing." More of the rocks at the bottom of the lake were exposed. ”

Ma Yan's answer made us suddenly realize.

When Ma Tan saw the pebbles there, he judged that the lake also had tides. So we were afraid that the tide would rise at night, so we didn't camp by the lake.

Unexpectedly, now the lake is at night, and the tide is not rising, but receding.

When the lake receded, the pebbles at the bottom of the water were exposed. When the moonlight shines, the substance on the stone will reflect. So on our side, there is a strange scene of that scene.

Seeing this, one thing suddenly occurred to me

, so he said: "Oh no, Ouyang or told us at the time that let us camp by the lake." We were worried about the high tide, so we took it upon ourselves to come to this high place to rest. Could it be that they have already returned and have not found us at the lake? ”

Fat Dahai hesitated: "Won't it?" It's not far from there, so we can find it. Besides, isn't there still an iron pillar? It won't smell us? ”

I nodded, "Anyway, since the tide is low below, let's go down and have a look." First, wait for Ouyang or, and second, let's see what's going on with the lake? ”

My suggestion was echoed by the two of them, and we packed up our things, and with torches, we went down the high slope to the shore of the lake again.

We stepped on the pebbles on the shore of the lake and moved sideways for some distance.

By this time, the lake had receded for a distance of nearly ten meters. In other words, there is a pebble beach of nearly 10 meters on this side.

Imagine how beautiful the 10-meter starlight lake shore must be.

If this kind of scene is placed in the city, even in the suburbs, it is destined to become a hot tourist attraction. Only here, there are only three of us who are watching.

In the field of vision, there is no longer half a figure in sight. We can't tell if Ouyang or Tiezhu have ever returned.

"Old horse, look, are these the footprints of an iron pillar?"

At this time, suddenly Fat Dahai shouted.

I hurriedly leaned over to look, and Ma Jian also came over with a flashlight. Fat Dahai was holding a torch and shining it somewhere on the ground.

Between those pebbles, they are not neatly arranged, and there are quite a few gaps in between. In the gap, I found animal footprints.

Ma Tan only glanced at it, and then said, "This is indeed a canine footprint, but this is a bit vague, and I am not sure if it is an iron pillar." ”

I stomped my foot: "That's still going to be said." There are no other dogs here except the iron pillars. ”

Fat Dahai held a torch, looked around again, and turned around to greet us: "There are still footprints of iron pillars here, it seems that they have really come back." But why didn't they go to us, and where have they gone now? ”

I looked around, and it was pitch black all but us. The ground was covered with specks of fluorescence reflected off the pebbles. But there is no half of it.

At this time, our hearts have become heavy again. If they did come back, the fact that we didn't camp here is not a reason why they couldn't find us. Because there is an iron pillar here, we will definitely find us.

Then now that they are gone, there is a high probability that something has happened.

"Iron pillar, iron pillar......" I was in a hurry, folded my hands into a trumpet shape, and shouted twice at all around.

This is the valley, and the terrain is empty. When I shouted to the surrounding mountains, the echo was palpable.

Tiezhu's sense of hearing is also very sensitive, and he will definitely respond to me when he hears it.

But after my voice was shouted, the echo gradually faded away, and it was like a stone sinking into the sea, and it had no effect at all.

I said to Ma Yan, "Oh no, look

Coming to Ouyang or Tie Zhu really had an accident. ”

Fat Dahai shook his head: "It won't be." Ouyang or that ability, in my opinion, should still be above my master and uncle. We are not his opponents even if we are tied together. And the iron pillar, so the spirit dog, let's all stay here, how can something happen to them? ”
