Chapter 58: The Cannibal Forest
Sanshui Village is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there is only one road in and out of the village.
Even so, it can't resist the enthusiasm of tourists from all over the world.
Because, they are all here for the legend of Wonderland!
About half a year ago, someone posted on the Internet, claiming that he saw a fairy in the back mountain of Sanshui Village and entered the fairyland.
And to describe the beauty of the fairyland, jade paving, gold for the beam, qiong liquid for the pool, spiritual fruit for food......
It's a pity that he didn't pass the test of the fairyland, so he couldn't stay there.
There are two groups of comments on posts online, one of course disbelieving and the other skeptical and acting on it.
Some travelers come here and want to go to the so-called fairyland.
However, after these people went up the mountain, they never came out.
So, in recent times, there has been a legend of the "cannibal forest".
Legend has it that in the forest on the mountain, there is a well-cultivated Dryad, and this Dryad feeds on human flesh, and anyone who enters the forest becomes the Dryad's food.
The previous fairy tales were deliberately woven by the dryad in order to lure humans into the forest.
Compared with the legend of Wonderland, the legend of the cannibal forest is more convincing.
A photograph of a tree branch wrapped around a person's foot and pulled backwards hangs at the entrance to the mountain.
The photo is magnified to a size of 1 meter to 1 meter, and the pixels are slightly distorted.
But the despair and fear on the face of the man who was pulled by the branches were transmitted to everyone through the photo.
Everyone who has seen the photo seems to have really seen this scene!
At this time, Chu Lei and the captain were standing in front of the photo.
Although the entrance to the mountain was blocked by several wires. But how big is the whole mountain! How can you stop the entrance that is not the entrance?
What's more, if you really want to go into the mountains, it is not difficult to twist the wire.
According to the village chief, it was discovered last week that someone had broken the wire and entered the mountain.
As for who, how many of them there were, no one knows.
After all, most of the people who enter the mountain move at night, and the people in the village can't see it.
As for coming down from the mountains?
Except for the girl who brought the picture down, no one came down!
According to the girl, she and her boyfriend had heard about the legend of Wonderland and wanted to come and see it.
Unexpectedly, in the evening, it was attacked by a tree branch.
The girl fled, and her boyfriend was never heard from.
The village chief sighed and said, "What a sin! A pretty girl, who became sloppy, didn't want to go back to the city, didn't groom up, just wandered around the foot of the mountain, hoping that her man would come back. ”
"Where are the people? Can we talk to her? The captain asked.
The village chief said: "Look at this hour, it's almost time to get here."
"Hey, come here, that's it."
Everyone looked in the direction of the village chief's finger and was suddenly shocked.
Because the clothes on her body have not been washed for a long time, she can't see the original color of the fabric.
He didn't wash his face and hair, his hair was unkempt like a bird's nest, and his face was covered with thick soil.
His eyes were dull, and he was mechanical and numb, like a walking corpse.
"Hello, we're the editors of a magazine, and we've heard about it, so we'd like to go into the mountains." The captain walked over and identified himself.
Of course, his identity is fake, otherwise, would he want to report the name of the Door Association?
Then don't get down to business and live in the Third Hospital.
As soon as she heard the captain say that she wanted to "enter the mountain", the woman immediately returned to her soul, grabbed the captain's arm with both hands, and said emotionally: "I know the way, take me into the mountain!"
The captain said: "You calm down first, we'd better find a quiet place, let you talk about the situation in the mountains, and then set off when you're ready."
The woman said, "Good! As long as you let me follow me into the mountains, I will agree to whatever you say! ”
The village chief was stunned and said, "Editor-in-chief Wang, you didn't say that just now!" You're just saying take a spin around the perimeter. ”
The captain smiled and said, "Village Chief, there are so many of us, even if we really encounter danger, we will not be without the ability to fight back."
"Besides, we also want to go up the mountain to find out the truth, you don't want there to be a monster on the mountain, right?"
"I see that the village is almost empty, and most of the villagers have moved away, right? It's not all about this cannibalistic forest! ”
"It's about the reputation of Sanshui Village, and the village chief has to think about it."
The village chief was silent for a moment.
Sanshui Village is a remote place, and the economic conditions in the village are not good. Some young people all went to Chengli to beg for a living, and only came back once during the New Year's holidays. Some even moved their families to the city.
Now that there is such a thing as a "man-eating forest", more people are moving out.
Even the village chief's son repeatedly persuaded him to move.
The homeland is hard to leave, and he has lived here for most of his life, how can the village chief be willing to give it up?
Besides, if he leaves, those old people in the village, those orphans and widows, will not even have a master!
After thinking about it comprehensively, the village chief finally made a decision, "Go and talk to me." ”
The village chief's house is a small two-story wooden building on the west side of the village.
There is also a mother-in-law in the family, and her son and daughter live in the city.
"Ah Hua, go pour some water." The village chief said to his mother-in-law.
The woman who was washing her clothes nodded and poured out the water.
After the village chief asked the captain to sit down, he said, "If you want to enter the mountain, I can't stop you." I'll find you a guide who can identify what is in the mountains, and see which ones you can eat and which ones you can't. ”
The captain's face was overjoyed and he said, "That's great!"
It's easy to get into the mountain, but it's hard to get down.
Without finding out the truth on the mountain, they certainly won't go down. And the food they bring is not much, and having a guide can at least solve the problem of food and water.
The village chief's mother-in-law came with water, and the village chief asked her to call Mandun over.
The captain was not idle, and asked the woman what happened at that time.
The woman recalled the situation and described it to everyone with a look of fear on her face.
"That evening, Kaede and I were about to go down the mountain, just past a large rock, which was shaped like a turtle and was very distinctive. Kaede sat down on a stone and asked me to take a picture of him. ”
"I was about to shoot him when suddenly a branch appeared, wrapped around Kaede's foot, and pulled him back."
"Kaede and I were scared at the time. Kaede yelled at me and told me to run quickly. ”
"I saw a branch coming towards me, and I immediately ran down the hill."
"I don't know where I ran or where I went, so I kept running, I kept running."
"Then I rolled down a hillside and fainted. It was the village chief who woke me up. ”
"Later, I always wanted to go up the mountain to find Kaede, but no one wanted to take me there."
The village chief said: "When I found her, she fainted. When she woke up, he asked her what had happened, and found the photo from her mobile phone, washed the film, and hung it at the entrance to the mountain. ”
"I didn't expect that even if it was like this, it wouldn't stop those people." The village chief shook his head and said with a sigh.
As the saying goes, no zuo no die!
