I didn't answer Village Chief Zhang's question, just shook my head, then raised my eyes to look at the forest in front of me, thinking that I still wanted to go into the forest to see the situation.

Village Chief Zhang probably saw my thoughts, and before I could speak, he preemptively said: "I led the police comrades into the woods last time, and I almost couldn't get out, so I resolutely didn't dare to go in again, and Zhang Zhuang definitely couldn't let him in!" ”

I hurriedly pulled out the high-tech orientation device in my backpack and assured them that even if they lost their way in the woods, I would be able to rely on the direction finder to guide them back to where they were standing.

And promised them that when they came out, they would give them another two hundred dollars.

Zhang Zhuang was a little moved, but Village Chief Zhang still shook his head and said, "No matter how much money you give, if you can't get out, we won't have the blessing to enjoy!" ”

I frowned and thought for a moment, then asked, "Then please help me show me the way and go in by myself!" You walk from here a lot, and there must be a path in this woods that you left behind, right? ”

"That's the problem!" Village Chief Zhang replied, and stretched out his hand to his feet, "Look at this mountain road under our feet, this is the road we often step out of the mountain." The road could have been through the woods, but now you look at ......."

His finger followed the path at our feet, and I followed suit, and suddenly I saw that at the edge of the forest, a path that had been obvious was covered with thorny bushes.

"When I entered the mountain last month, the path was clean, but now it is covered with thorn vines, and I can't walk anymore!" Village Chief Zhang said again.

I walked over and looked closely, and saw that the thorny vines not only covered the path, but also stretched out on both sides, and in order to enter the woods, I had to find another way.

I was about to ask Village Chief Zhang if there was any other way to go, or if he could determine the correct direction of Lao Gaopo Village, when suddenly a gust of mountain wind blew, which seemed to be mixed with some crying sounds.

"Someone is crying, do you hear me?" I said, listening.

Intermittently, faintly, there was indeed a cry coming from the woods.

"I heard it too!" Zhang Zhuang said.

"It won't be...... What the hell is crying, right? Village Chief Zhang's face changed and he asked with a shudder.

"It's a big day, and even ghosts don't dare to come out, right? Maybe someone is lost in the woods and can't get out! "Zhang Zhuang interface.

"Zhang Zhuang is right!" I nodded immediately, "It's possible that someone from your village is missing and lost in this wood, and since we hear it, we can't leave it alone!" ”

Without waiting for Village Chief Zhang's father and son to react, I took the lead and ran quickly into the woods, heading in the direction from which the intermittent crying came.

I heard Zhang Zhuang say: "Dad, let's go in too!" ”

Immediately after Village Chief Zhang shouted "Xiao Zhuang Xiao Zhuang" twice, I looked back and saw Zhang Zhuang following closely behind me.

Village Chief Zhang told his son not to return, so he had to stomp his feet and catch up from behind.

As soon as you enter the woods, the cry becomes even more pronounced.

But just as I was running into the woods, the cry suddenly rose to a terrible scream, and then it came to an abrupt end, silent.

It felt as if the person who had just cried had experienced a very sudden change and was stunned by something, or was knocked unconscious and killed.

Although I have experienced many dangers, I was frightened by the sudden scream.

Zhang Zhuang ran to my side, his face was even pale, and he asked me tremblingly, "What's the matter?" The man who cried...... Why didn't you suddenly scream? ”

I couldn't answer, so I could only walk briskly in the direction of the voice I had just heard.

Zhang Zhuang followed me closely, and Village Chief Zhang stumbled and caught up, trembling and trembling and said, "We can't go any further, who knows if Fang Cai's voice is screaming or not!" ”

"Someone must be screaming!" I glanced back at Village Chief Zhang.

"Why are you so sure?" Village Chief Zhang chased after me and asked.

I wanted to tell him that the ghost's cry doesn't pass through my ears, but I was afraid that he would ask me why I knew so clearly.

So I didn't answer again, but hurried deeper into the woods.

But after a slight interruption, I was not sure which direction to take, so I had to stop and listen carefully.

It's a pity that no sound reaches the ears anymore.

"Anyone? Who was crying just now? I shouted at the top of my voice.

My voice echoed through the woods for a long time, but there was no response.

On the contrary, because of my cries, the whole forest seemed more eerie and silent.

"I said it all, the one just now, I'm afraid it's not someone calling!"

Village Chief Zhang approached me, probably out of fear, and he wrapped his hand tightly around the arm of his son, Zhang Zhuang.

"Why don't we get out first!" Zhang Zhuang said, looking around.

"The cry that must be a human being, maybe he is in a very urgent situation, if we leave him and withdraw now, I am afraid that our conscience will be uneasy!" I said, looking in all directions, too.

Unfortunately, this forest is not very dense from the outside, but when you really enter the depths of the forest, the rows of tree trunks block the view, and you can't see too far at all.

"Even if you want to go out now, I'm afraid you won't be able to find your way!" Village Chief Zhang said, crying with a sad face.

Village Chief Zhang once told me that once you enter this forest, everyone will lose their way.

At the time, I thought there was some kind of ghost at work that made the people who entered the forest lose their minds, or lose their consciousness.

And I can sense the existence of ghosts, so I want to go into the forest and feel it.

But now that I am in the forest, I don't feel any cold air, and I don't feel the feeling of being stared at by something, which means that at least within ten meters of me, there are no ghosts and the like secretly snooping.

So I said, "Since you have walked through this forest many times, even if the old path is covered with thorns, you should know which direction to go by instinct alone, right?" ”

"That's what I said, but ......," Zhang Zhuang said, looking left and right with a worried face, "Just last month, my father and I walked through this forest, and at that time I could say that I knew east and west without hesitation!" But now that I come back again, I don't know what's going on, this forest seems to have changed, not only the road that was walked before was covered with thorns, but even the big trees are not the same as before! ”

I was puzzled by what he said, and I had to ask, "I didn't understand what you meant, can you make it clearer?" ”

"What Xiao Zhuang means is that this forest has become different from before in just one month!"

Village Chief Zhang opened his mouth to answer for his son, and even shrank his head and looked around.
