As soon as I saw the mad woman coming at me, I was so frightened that I turned and ran.

While running, he shouted: "Ling Kai, run this way, don't run away again!" ”

Luckily, the madwoman had limited strength, and even though I was carrying my backpack, I was able to quickly shake her off, only to hear her gnash her teeth and curse from behind.

Following the sound of footsteps, I looked at it in horror, but fortunately, it was Gao Lingkai who turned around and caught up.

We ran out of strength in one breath, and then we stopped, and when we looked back, we could no longer see the old woman.

"You say, why did a crazy woman suddenly appear in this deep mountain and old forest?" Gao Lingkai asked me while gasping.

"You ask me, who do I ask?" I asked rhetorically, and then analyzed it for a while, "Maybe there are mountain people living in this area!" ”

Gao Lingkai stood up straight, looked at the front and back, left and right, and suddenly quickened his steps, running towards a dense green plant in front of him.

I also chased after me, but before I could get to the front, Gao Lingkai was already cheering.

"Cornfield! It's a cornfield! It seems that there are really people living in this neighborhood! ”

It was indeed a field of corn, full of corn cobs, all looking ripe, but not yet picked.

Last night in a dream, Zhang Xiaoyun helped me show the way, I didn't notice that there was this cornfield, but I couldn't care so much at this time, the two of us hurriedly drilled through the cornfield, the situation in front of me, not only Gao Lingkai was more excited, I also felt relieved.

In front of us was a small clearing between the mountains and forests, where there were three houses made of bark and thatch.

The house looks very basic, a bit like the shacks inhabited by indigenous people in movies and television.

And the reason why I am relieved is because the last scene that Zhang Xiaoyun let me see last night is exactly the same as what I saw in front of me.

"Anyone? Is there anyone here? Gao Lingkai opened his throat and shouted a few times.

No one showed up.

I stood in the open space and looked around, while Gao Lingkai directly pushed open the simple wooden door of a shack in front of me.

"No one, like they just moved!" He said, retracting his head from the shack.

I walked into another shack and pushed open the same rudimentary wooden door to take a look.

The area inside is very narrow, at most six or seven square meters.

Because there is no wall, the whole shack is two roofs directly on the ground, so the height is also limited, and people must bend down to enter.

At the corner of the shack opposite the door was a fence wall made of thinner branches and trunks, and under the wall lay a fairly smooth plank, on which was laid some hay, and it was supposed to be a bed for sleeping.

Except for this bed, there is no longer anything, and sure enough, as Gao Lingkai said, the owner of this house seems to have moved.

Gao Lingkai also leaned over and glanced at the door of the shack I was inspecting.

"You still have a plank over here, and the room over there is empty, except for a pile of hay on the ground." He said.

I sighed, I wanted to find someone to ask for directions, but this time I was happy in vain.

Gao Lingkai turned around and walked to the third shack, but at a glance, he suddenly shouted: "Who?" Come out? ”

I was taken aback, and hurried to follow his gaze, only to see a shadow flickering, as if someone had run into a grove behind the shack.

"Stop, we have no ill will!"

Gao Lingkai shouted, and he had already chased after him.

"Ling Kai, you can't chase them, you'll scare them!"

I followed a few steps closely.

Gao Lingkai heard me shouting and stopped at the edge of the woods.

"Why do you scare them, am I terrible?" He asked me back, half-jokingly.

"You're not scary! But the problem is that in such a deep mountain, these mountain people may not have seen outsiders in their lives, so it is similar to the primitive tribe, you chase too closely, do you think about how the people of the primitive tribe will deal with us, right? ”

"Wouldn't it? In our China, where the population is so dense, can there still be primitive tribes? He looked at me amusedly, and suddenly lowered his voice, "It can't be a cannibal, right?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he laughed again. I knew his temper and ignored his words.

"I'm not saying that the people here must be primitive tribes, I'm just saying that they have never walked out of the mountains in their lives, and when they suddenly see outsiders, they will inevitably be afraid, and if you chase them again, they are likely to treat you as malicious."

Gao Lingkai tilted his head to think about it, and finally nodded: "Okay, even if you are right, then what should we do now?" ”

I don't know what to do.

I looked up at the setting sun, and I couldn't wait to find Meng Xiang's location and rush over.

Although Zhang Xiaoyun said that Meng Xiang would be fine for the time being, after all, it was only "temporary", who knows what else will happen today and tonight?

Gao Lingkai saw that I smiled bitterly and didn't answer him, so he didn't ask any more questions, but turned back and carefully inspected between several shacks.

"Colliers, come and see!"

I heard him cry out suddenly, and hurried to him, and saw that between the three huts there was an earthen stove, and the stove was empty, and there was no iron pot or anything like that.

But on the side of the earthen stove, there was a large patch of blackened blood, and the smell of blood came to my nose, reminding me of the bloody scene I saw yesterday when the wild boar was torn to pieces.

"Why is there so much blood here? Could it be that this is the place where these mountain people slaughter their livestock? Gao Lingkai tried to make reasonable inferences.

I also hope it was the blood of livestock, but I know that this inference is not very accurate.

After all, there is a shortage of materials in the mountains, and since there are still food made from pig blood and duck blood in the cities, it is impossible for these mountain people to spill the blood of livestock all over the ground.

I even have a feeling that this bloodstain may be the reason why these families moved away.

In other words, if we were smarter, we should get out of here right away.

But where do we go out of here?

Zhang Xiaoyun helped me point out the road last night, and stopped here when I got to these shacks, and then I should go east and west, she didn't say, and I didn't have any concept at all.

"Colliers, why don't you speak? What are you thinking? Gao Lingkai asked, and couldn't help but bump into me.

"I'm wondering if we should get out of here!" I'll be honest.

"Get out of here? Where can we go? Gao Lingkai immediately objected, "It's going to be dark soon, there are a few shacks here, and there is that cornfield, we can roast corn and eat it at night." Besides......"

He stopped suddenly, and his eyes turned again in the direction of the woods.

I followed suit.

This time I could see clearly that there was indeed a figure there, cowered behind a large tree, probing our brains, as if trying to come out, but not daring.

"Jiang Xin? Is Jiang Xin you? ”

Gao Lingkai suddenly shouted, and ran to the man.

I saw that the man was stunned for a moment, and suddenly his face was full of horror, and he turned and ran into the woods.
