Chapter Ninety-Four: The Evil Spirit in the Mountains 4
Li Zihao also looked at the four companions sitting around the bonfire and said: "I also think it's strange, if that corpse was there a long time ago, it is said that there were two heavy rains here in the first half of the year, especially the one half a month ago that rained for several days in a row, the water of this small river will definitely overflow the rocky beach, but that corpse doesn't even look like it has been washed by water." ”
Zhong Dahai retracted his gaze and turned to look at the darkness on the periphery vigilantly, "The problem is that what she is wearing is obviously winter clothes, who would wear such a thick layer when the weather is so hot now?" Even if the murderer commits the crime, he will not be so bored as to force people to wear thick clothes to commit murder again, and then take so much effort to carry the corpse here. Besides, if it's an explorer, what about her companions? Even if her companion ignores her, her family will report the crime, right? We haven't been able to find out who has been here in the past few years. ”
"There's also a strange place, and although the body stinks badly, it doesn't look like it's decomposing." Li Zihao took out his mobile phone, found a photo and said.
"No maggots!" The two said in unison, not to mention maggots in the photo, not even other flies and insects.
"Unless it's been treated with poison, it's impossible, especially in the wild." Zhong Dahai said with certainty.
There was a moment of silence, "Rearrange the personnel who started the vigil tonight, you and I must have one of them, a strong flashlight on the body, don't leave the weapon, be careful." Li Zihao said, and the two of them were very uneasy.
And just this afternoon, Li Feng and the barbarian and others went to the female ghost's hometown to find her family, these days, due to the discovery of some key evidence, the police immediately arrested a suspect, the evidence is conclusive and cannot be denied, and the perpetrator finally pleaded guilty.
Originally, the female ghost's family also thought that the arrival of Li Feng and others was a charlatan who came to cheat money, but fortunately, in addition to the address and the name of her parents, the words spoken by the female ghost before entering the soul talisman also had a regretful thought, Li Feng relayed it to her mother, "I really want to eat mapo tofu made by my mother again." ”
The mother of the female ghost cried bitterly on the spot when she heard the yellow fu that took Li Feng's hand, and her daughter's favorite dish when she came home before her death was the mapo tofu she made. The female ghost father immediately invited them into the house, and after learning the cause and effect of the incident, the two old men thanked them again and again, and with the help of Li Feng, the two couples and their daughter finally met again, and this time even their youngest son, who was still suspicious, also let down their guard.
In the end, at the request of the two old men, Li Feng sent the female ghost away and let her go on the road.
Yunnan primeval forest
Li Zihao and Zhong Dahai made a large number of simple early warning traps around the campsite, although their methods and techniques were far from comparable to those of barbarians, but these traps were still very effective in preventing some wild beasts and ordinary gangsters in the dark.
After the two went back, they adjusted the night watch shift personnel again, on the grounds that it was foggy and humid, and women were prone to get sick if they stayed in the fog for a long time at night. In the first half of the night between Li Zihao and Wang Shiyi, and in the second half of the night for Zhong Dahai and Li Chuan, the two women slept when they wanted to, and the vigil task was temporarily exempted.
This was the evening of the fourth day they entered the forest, and the six of them gathered around the campfire to cook soup and drink, because of the hunter-like Li Zihao, they brought very little dry food, because Li Zihao could find many edible things in the forest, wrapped in wild fruits and vegetables, plant roots, edible fungi, small beasts, bird eggs, and fish in the water.
They were now cooking mushroom soup for dinner, and due to the need to hurry due to unexpected circumstances, Li Zihao didn't have time to catch fish, so he could only eat some food collected along the road during the day, but it was enough for them to fill their stomachs. Those things belong to the delicacies of the mountains, add a little oil and salt, and the attractive fragrance comes to the nose.
Eat and drink enough, a few people play cards and chat and watch movies, their backpacks are hung with solar panels and some power storage equipment, even the camping lights can be directly charged and solar charging, and there is even a small hand-cranked generator, which is enough for them to use electricity at night.
At about ten o'clock, everyone who was tired during the day finally got into the tent to sleep, Zhong Dahai secretly glanced at each other with Li Zihao before entering the tent, and nodded secretly.
The night in the mountains is not completely silent, especially in the summer, when insects and birds chirp. The firelight imprinted the faces of the two night watchmen, especially Li Zihao, who often used the low-light telescope to observe the surrounding situation, but because of the fog, the visibility was very poor.
"You seem to be nervous tonight." Wang Shiyi saw him get up again and prepare to patrol the edge of the tent.
Li Zihao smiled and said in a low voice: "This is the wilderness, it's always good to be vigilant." ”
Time was spent in tension, until two o'clock in the middle of the night when the person was replaced, there was no abnormal situation, Li Zihao and Zhong Dahai briefly explained two sentences and went to sleep.
After Zhong Dahai took over the vigil mission, he immediately carried a bow and arrows on his back and a strong flashlight to patrol around the camp first, and only sat down by the campfire after making sure that he was okay.
Li Chuan only thought that it was still the same vigil as a few nights ago, just to prevent some poisonous snakes and beasts, and he didn't know Zhong Dahai's worries, eating snacks by the fire. However, Zhong Dahai and the two of them couldn't tell what they were worried about, but they were very uneasy in their hearts.
In the second half of the night, about three o'clock, the surroundings became more and more quiet, although Zhong Dahai was still vigilant, but he was not so worried, it would be dawn in a few hours, and his heart may have thought too much, and the surroundings were so quiet, there should be nothing wrong.
"Quiet?" Zhong Dahai's heart tightened, picked up the bow and arrow, and suddenly stood up, he realized that the insect chirping on the other side of the river had not sounded for a long time.
"What's wrong, what did you find?" Seeing that he was suddenly so nervous, Li Chuan also stood up with a wooden stick and shone around with a strong flashlight, but the fog in the mountains hindered his vision, and he could only see less than twenty meters away.
Zhong Dahai was also using a strong flashlight to irradiate the surroundings, but unfortunately the visibility was limited, and he couldn't see anything clearly in the distance, "Did you let out a stinky fart?" He suddenly turned his head slightly and asked in a low voice.
"Joke, can you smell my stinky fart through the fire?" Li Chuan said in a low voice.
Zhong Dahai snorted, "I seem to smell a sour smell." ”
"It's not a sour smell, it seems like I've smelled it somewhere... It seems like... By the way, the dead bodies by the river smell like this, yes! Li Chuan heard that he smelled a strange smell, and he also left the bonfire a few meters and sniffed lightly, and also smelled a little rancid smell.
"How could the smell from over there come from such a distance?" Zhong Dahai frowned and asked, although he was talking to Li Chuan, he had been trying to look around.
"Smack!" There was a soft sound in the direction of the river, and Zhong Dahai, who was looking in other directions, suddenly turned his head to look in the direction of the sound, and he knew very well that an early warning trap had been triggered.
