Li Zhanwen took the money and bought a lot of food, hurried home, first bought a new bedding for his mother, and then began to feed his mother, after eating, he rushed to a nearby buddy's house, gave him a little money, said that he was going out to run errands, let the buddy take care of his mother during this time, everything was ready to stop, he also specially borrowed an old-fashioned home-made 'shotgun' from the hunter's house in the village, and then hurried to the mountain pass.

At that time, it was noon, the sun was very hot, the young man was leaning on a big tree to enjoy the shade, Li Zhanwen answered from afar, walked over to him, took the package he was carrying on his shoulder, and carried it on his back, "It's very hot now, do you think we can wait until it's cooler before leaving?" ”

Li Zhanwen thought to himself that he couldn't stand the weather, this young man looked like he had thin skin and tender meat, and he would definitely not be able to bear it.

Unexpectedly, the young man waved his hand, "Start early, go and come back quickly, so as not to have too many dreams at night." Saying that, he got up and picked up his cane and walked towards the mountain, Li Zhanwen had no choice but to respond, and hurried over to reach out to help, but was blocked by the young man's hand, "It's okay, I can do it myself." ”

Li Zhanwen had no choice but to withdraw his hand and walk in front of him, and at the moment when the two hands touched, Li Zhanwen suddenly noticed that something was wrong, the young man's hand was extremely cold, and it didn't seem to have any temperature, and he immediately realized that this was not a normal person at all.

Li Zhanwen was shocked in his heart, and his mind began to think wildly, he even began to think that this young man who claimed to be a "night crow" was not a person at all, but a dead soul who died in the mountains, and he wanted others to take him to the mountains, but he wanted to find a place where no one was to kill that person, so that he could borrow the corpse to resurrect his soul.

Thinking of this, Li Zhanwen felt a chill down his spine, but when he thought about it again, he felt that he was too worried, if this young man was really a dead soul, it would be impossible for him to appear in broad daylight, and this young man himself was a fortune teller with advanced Taoism, and it was normal for him to be a little different from others.

It's just that...... Why was he so desperate to go to the mountains?

"Maybe it's for the rumored treasure in the mausoleum." Li Zhanwen shook his head and stopped his wandering thoughts, he is a smart person, he knows that his duty is only to lead the way, don't think too much about what you shouldn't think, don't ask too much if you shouldn't ask, knowing too much is not good, and you may even be killed.

Li Zhanwen glanced back at the young man, and found that the young man was also facing his direction with his face, revealing a mysterious smile, Li Zhanwen instantly had a very strange feeling in his heart, he felt that this young man was not blind at all, everything he said was just a lie, in order to cover up something. The young man grew more and more mysterious in his mind.

Holding back his curiosity, Li Zhanwen gradually quickened his pace, and the young man still followed behind him unhurriedly, his steps were light but firm, and he didn't stumble at all, where can a blind person do this?

The two stopped talking, just worried about hurrying away, at first along the way can still meet pedestrians and some woodcutters who go into the mountains to chop wood, but later they can no longer see the footprints of pedestrians, the mountain road is getting more and more rugged, but this has no effect on the young man at all, the sun is still hot, but the trees on the side of the road are luxuriant, and it is cool to walk under the shade of the trees.

The two of them plunged into the mountains of the reckless hazelnuts one after the other.

The process of rushing is a little boring, and the girl didn't repeat it here, just a few words.

It is particularly worth mentioning that the deeper he went, the more Li Zhanwen could feel the strangeness of this young man.

The further you went, the steeper the road became, and when you reached the point there was no road at all, and the mountains were full of large trees and bushes, and some plants that could not be named at all, and sometimes there was not even a place to stay, so you had to carve out a narrow road with a firewood knife, and the journey was very slow.

The tall trees are closely connected and intertwined, the luxuriant foliage covers the top of their heads, and they can't see the sky at all, and even the sunlight can only fly down at the junction of the leaves, and the ground is covered with thick dead leaves.

This is not the most dangerous, what is more dangerous is the steep mountain wall, there are many places that are basically vertical, the so-called road, the widest place is only the length of half a foot, it is also called to walk sideways on the top of half a foot is suspended, and this road is intermittent, sometimes there is only a protruding palm-sized rock in the distance of two meters, a slight accidentally stepped on the slippery, falling down must be crushed.

Li Zhanwen This young man is at the time of his physical strength, and he has worked hard from snacks, and his physical fitness is naturally too good to say, Rao is so that he has just crossed two mountains and is already a little unbearable, but the young man is still very relaxed, he didn't even take a breath of air, walking on such a road as if walking on the ground, and even stretched out his hand to help Li Zhanwen in those particularly difficult places, compared to him, Li Zhanwen is like a blind man.

What's even more strange is that this young man did not slow down at all when he walked in the woods covered with fallen leaves, but walked very fast, experienced people know that doing so is simply looking for death, but this young man walked all the way over, stunned that there was no danger at all, every step he took cleverly avoided the pits on the ground, it seemed that he had a very precise road map in his mind, Li Zhanwen followed behind him, and quickly passed through one forest after another.

(Lao Zhao speculated that this blind man was located by sound, and every step he stepped on, the sound of broken leaves was different, and those who had extremely keen hearing and special training could roughly guess the terrain under the cover of fallen leaves according to the sound of broken leaves, but I felt that it was a little unlikely, the movement of the pace was very fast, even if this young man had practiced a lot of training, it was impossible to judge so accurately in such a short period of time, and there were too many interference factors in the surrounding environment, The sound of the wind, the sound of insects, the sound of birds, and the footsteps of Li Zhanwen following behind him, the mixture of various sounds still had a great impact on him. Xiao Zhang thinks that this is just made up by Li Zhanwen, the real situation should not be so magical, the reason why Li Zhanwen told his sister like this is to show off the blind man's Niu X. ）

And it stands to reason that there should be many wild beasts in such an inaccessible deep mountain, but the two of them did not touch one of them along the way, and the girl's grandfather saw a jackal from a distance, and after seeing the young man from a distance, he fled with his tail between his legs, as if he were a terrible beast.

When he crossed the third mountain, the young man, who had not spoken a word all the way, suddenly spoke, "Are you tired?" This is not a place to rest, but if you work harder, there is a mountain stream two or three miles ahead, where we can take a break and have something to eat. ”

Li Zhan, who was already tired and panting, opened his mouth for a long time, but he didn't say a word, and could only let out two indistinct "hmm" in his throat, which was a response to the young man, and at the same time, he was also puzzled in his heart, there was not even a drop of water at a glance, where was there a shadow of a mountain stream? The young man was so sure, had he been here before?

As if knowing the doubts in Li Zhanwen's heart, the young man's steps paused and explained, "I heard the sound of running water just now. ”

Li Zhanwen also pricked up his ears and listened for a while when he heard this, but he didn't hear anything except footsteps and the chaotic sound of insects, so he didn't ask again, and quickened his pace to follow.

After walking for two or three miles, they really found a small mountain stream, saying that it was a mountain stream, in fact, it was just a small mountain spring flowing out of the gap between two large stones, but this place is very open, there are craggy strange stones on the side of the mountain spring, there are a few bamboos next to it, the bamboo shadow is projected on the rock, the wind moves and the shadow moves, the flowing water is murmuring, if it is not for the quiet location of this place, and there is such a terrifying legend, it should attract a lot of tourists.

Li Zhanwen untied his backpack and put it next to a relatively flat stone, and helped the young man to sit on the stone, then he ran to the mountain stream and plunged his head into it and poured it violently, the cold spring water made his pores all over his body open, and he didn't feel a cold shiver, and it was strange and comfortable, after drinking, he also wiped his face with two handfuls of water, took off the clothes that had been soaked in sweat, and threw them directly into the water to wash them.

After washing for a while, Li Zhanwen remembered that the young man hadn't drunk water yet, turned his head and just wanted to greet him, but saw that the young man had already taken out a black military iron kettle from his bag, walked upstream and took some water and drank it.

Seeing this, Li Zhanwen was afraid that he would stumble in the crack of the stone, so he twisted his clothes, put them on his body casually, and strode over.

After drinking the water, the two cleared a clearing under a boulder by the stream, made a fire out of the dead branches and fallen leaves they had collected, and set up a pot to cook something to eat.

After eating, the two sat down, Li Zhan looked at the sky in a daze, thinking about his experience in the past half a day, at this time it was evening, the sun had already begun to set, and the bloody remnant sun evil hung in the air, dyeing the distant woods with an unusually sad red, the young man suddenly twisted his face in the direction of Li Zhanwen, and asked softly: "The sun is about to go down, the night is coming, are you afraid?" ”

Li Zhanwen didn't answer, just stared at the young man's face that was gradually blurring in the sunset, this face was extremely handsome, the face dyed red by the sunset had an almost perfect arc, like a finely carved statue, without any flaws, he was almost certain that there must be a pair of incomparably clear eyes under the sunglasses, this young man was not blind at all.

Thinking like this, Li Zhanwen fell into a very contradictory situation, on the one hand, he wanted to confirm his thoughts, and his curiosity was about to drive him crazy along the way, on the other hand, he clearly knew that whether the young man was blind or not had nothing to do with him, if the young man pretended to be blind to cover up something, he would not get an answer even if he asked, not only that, but it would also make the young man disgusted with himself, and even poison himself.

These two thoughts have been circling in Li Zhanwen's mind, carrying out a fierce struggle, and they simply lingered, almost driving him crazy, and it was at this time that the young man suddenly said: "If you have any questions, just ask." Li Zhanwen was shocked when he heard this, and at the same time, he was even more sure that this young man must have a pair of eyes that knew everything, and any thoughts in his heart could not be hidden in front of these eyes.

"Your eyes ......" Li Zhan steadied his eyes and finally spoke with difficulty.

"It's blind." The young man smiled kindly and slowly took off his sunglasses. With the last glimmer of the sunset, Li Zhanwen finally saw clearly, all his guesses were wrong, under the sunglasses, there was nothing where the eyes should have been, replaced by two terrifying black holes, as if they were dug out by some sharp weapon, a scar across the two black holes and the entire bridge of the nose, it looked extremely hideous, on such a handsome face, there was an abnormal sense of disobedience, and anyone who saw it would feel very distressed.

Li Zhanwen let out a long sigh, and the young man smiled calmly and put on his sunglasses again, "Did I scare you?" "No," Li Zhanwen hurriedly shook his head, "It's just a pity." ”

"There's nothing to be sorry about," said the young man meaningfully, "these eyes have seen the beauty of the world and the ugliness of the world, but they are just ...... Alas, the past should not be revisited. Li Zhanwen felt that this young man was a man with a lot of stories, but he knew that he would not be able to tell these stories to himself.

"So...... What are you here for, for the treasure? Li Zhanwen then asked. You can say yes or no, I'm here to take one thing, and when you get to the place, you'll understand," the young man's tone was still so indifferent, so unhurried, that it made people feel comfortable listening to it, "Take a break, we still have a long way to go." With that, he turned his face away, sat cross-legged and stopped talking.

Li Zhanwen is also a person with eyes, seeing that he didn't want to say any more, he didn't say anything anymore, he simply lay down on a relatively flat stone, staring at the sky with blank eyes, but in his heart he was speculating about the young man's intention to let him come here, he was not familiar with this place, and he couldn't lead the way.

The blood-colored sunset converged the last rays of light and shrank in the ridge, so that when night fell, endless darkness swept in from all directions, covering Li Zhan firmly in an instant.

When night reigns over the earth, the light will cease to exist.

The birds in the woods not far away seemed to sense the breath of danger, fluttered their wings and flew into the distance, only the crows "quacked" and hovered in the night sky, a very strange and ominous premonition rose in Li Zhanwen's heart, but soon he diverted his attention, because he saw the young man next to him lighting an oil lamp.

There were no stars in the sky, so the oil lamp was the only source of light he could see.

"It's time to go." The young man patted Li Zhanwen, who was still stunned, and walked forward quickly.
