Chapter 21: Strange Things in the Mountains (3)
Zhang Tianye stood in front of Qi Xin's tent, his head was big, and seeing that the two of them were still in place, he couldn't figure out where the two of them could go.
It was pitch black all around, every step Zhang Tianye took, there were flying insects flying under his feet, what happened today was too weird for him, he shouted the names of the two people with all his might, but there was no response, and his heart was even more anxious.
The flashlight, the light shining on Zhang Tianye's body, stretched the figure a lot, and it became distorted and terrifying, and the owl perched on the tree made a low sound, making the silence around it scary.
Unconsciously, Zhang Tianye walked a long way, and the surrounding environment began to become unfamiliar, a smell of blood came to his nose, he frowned, and walked forward cautiously, and suddenly, there was a scream under his feet.
Zhang Tianye quickly stepped back, and after the flashlight shone on the place where the sound came from, he found that his foot was stepping on the body of a mouse, and when he saw the light coming, the white-haired mouse that was only half the size of a palm rushed towards the grass in a panic.
When the light of the flashlight was projected on the ground, his expression became solemn again, and the puddle of blood that had not completely solidified because of time emitted a foul smell.
Zhang Tianye took out the dagger he carried with him for self-defense, and walked slowly forward in the direction of the blood scattered on the ground.
At this moment, Zhang Tianye put a pair of hands on his back, and the sudden change caught him off guard, he turned around sharply, and the dagger in his hand stabbed forward, and the person behind him exclaimed: "Zhang Shao, are you crazy"?
Qi Xin, when he said this, the whole person was already stupidly stunned in place, at a loss, seeing that Zhang Tianye's dagger was about to stab over, but fortunately, Dewey on the side was clever and threw Qi Xin to the ground, so he escaped this catastrophe.
Due to the unstable center of gravity, Zhang Tianye fell to the ground, and the dagger was directly inserted into the soil, Qi Xin and Dewey quickly stood up and helped Zhang Tianye up.
After Zhang Tianye stood firm, Qi Xin stepped forward and punched him, and said angrily: "Dude, you are trying to murder me."
"Monkey, I didn't have time to think about the situation at that time, I'll go back and explain to you, you guys come and see this first", Zhang Tianye picked up the flashlight on the ground and shone it on a pool of black blood next to him.
After Qi Xin saw the blood on the ground, he almost didn't spit it out, and by the light of the flashlight, he saw that there were maggots wriggling on the black blood, and a dense layer of flies on it was still flying, and the stench was stinking.
Dewey said to Zhang Tianye a little nervously: "Zhang Shao, just now the two of us followed closely behind you, and we couldn't stop calling you, and we haven't had time to observe the situation around us, but I feel that something is wrong here, let's retreat."
Qi Xin also looked at Zhang Tianye with an approving face, after experiencing such a strange thing, Zhang Tianye also became cautious, and said to the two: "Then let's go back, it just so happens that this direction is also the only way, it's dawn, we are coming."
To be honest, they were all a little worried in their hearts, because from the pool of blood, it didn't look like a small animal, and the ghost knew what horror would be in front of them, and the atmosphere of the three of them slowly became warmer on the way back.
When I returned to the resting place, it was already more than three o'clock in the morning, and after what had just happened, the three of them were not sleepy, and sat by the fire and chatted.
Zhang Tianye took a big sip of the home-brewed liquor in Dewey's hand and drank a big sip, his throat felt hot, and his body warmed up, but he really couldn't stand this taste, he rarely drank this kind of high-grade wine, and after handing the wine to Qi Xin, Zhang Tianye asked: "What happened just now, why are you not in the tent?" ”
Speaking of this, Qi Xin put down the wine jug, looked at Dewey, and motioned to him, let's talk about it, and threw the wine jug to him again.
After Dewey took the flask, he took a sip and said to Zhang Tianye: "Not long after you returned to the tent, I took a nap under the tree, and when I woke up, I saw you walking forward with a flashlight."
When he said this, Zhang Tianye asked in some surprise: "But I saw that you were not in the tent, and I went out to look for you with a flashlight"?
As soon as these words came out, Qi Xin, who was munching on the chicken leg next to him, almost didn't spit it out, and then said, "Are you embarrassed to say it?"
Dewey shouted at you, you just walked forward with a wooden man, I slept well in the tent, I heard Dewey's shouting, and quickly climbed out, and then you ran.
The two of us don't care about holding a flashlight, or the light from the flashlight in your hand, I guess, I don't know where you are playing alone, after catching up with you, a hanging heart, only to put down, who would have thought, you guy with a knife to call others".
After Qi Xin finished speaking, he took the wine jug from Dewey's hand again, with a sense of vicissitudes of life after the catastrophe, and took a sip of wine comforting himself, with blame in his words.
For such a fact, Zhang Tianye always felt that he couldn't sit in the right seat, he pinched his thigh fiercely, and after feeling the pain obviously, he didn't scream at the moment, but just responded, "The monkey is really sorry, maybe he has been too tired and hallucinated recently."
Seeing this, Dewey also said: "Monkey, don't be serious, Zhang Shao is estimated to be evil, our locals have a saying, in the deep mountains and old forests, it is easy to have such a situation, no wonder he, people are fine."
Dewey, in a word, cleverly turned over this matter, and then said: "Zhang Shao, do you know what animal is on that pool of blood on the ground? ”
When he said this, Zhang Tianye could feel that Dewey must know something, and he didn't turn around and asked: "Brother Du, do you know what kind of animal it is?"
Dewey nodded and said, "It's very likely that it's a black blind man!"
"Black Blind"? Zhang Tianye and Qi Xin said almost in unison, because they didn't believe in such a fact, if they could meet a small anti-climate species flower spider and a ten-legged scorpion here, they would still be able to believe it.
In terms of local differences, these species can survive, but the chances of an animal like the black blind man appearing here are almost zero, let alone a black blind man who looks like he is dead.
Zhang Tianye still has some understanding of the climate and geographical structure of the great northwest, because he has been investigating Lao Ye Mountain in recent years, and he only knows that he has heard that there are animals like bears in Tianshui Daimon Mountain in Gansu, and Dewey's statement obviously made the two people not believe it.
Dewey continued: "Last year, after my sister and I came down from Mayin Mountain, we saw the pool of blood, and I took pictures with my mobile phone at that time.
In this way, there are a lot of dangers on the road ahead, Zhang Tianye is thinking in his heart, whether he wants to go forward, after all, it is now possible to determine that Lao Ye Mountain is not in Qinghai, if he goes on, maybe there will be any dangers, he has to be responsible for everyone's safety.
At that moment, Zhang Tianye said as two people: "Monkey, Brother Du, do you think there will be danger ahead"?
Qi Xin said angrily: "You are not talking nonsense, such a big bear can be planted there, this danger can be smaller"?
Dewey, who was sitting on the side, had nothing, it was already more than four o'clock in the morning and almost five o'clock in the morning, he stood up, walked to his tent, and said without looking back: "Zhang Shao, this doesn't matter to me, just make a decision between the two of you, it's almost dawn, there shouldn't be any danger, I'll rest for a while."
Dewey, after walking into the tent, Qi Xin sat down against Zhang Tianye and said, "Zhang Shao, I feel that this Dewey is a little wrong, this mountain, let's not go up."
In fact, this is also Zhang Tianye's idea, hearing Qi Xin say this, Zhang Tianye patted his thigh and only said: "It's still early, monkey, you can go sleep for a while, as soon as the morning dawns, we will return the same way."
Along the way, it was Qi Xin who suffered the most, in fact, it was not that Qi Xin didn't want to go on, but according to the information he had, he didn't believe that Lao Ye Mountain would be here, and this trip to Qinghai was just to accompany Zhang Tianye around, and by the way, to ease everything he was depressed in his heart.
Things have come to this point, Qi Xin has nothing, he doesn't want to hurt the confidence of his good brother, because Ye Xinxin talked to him on the phone on the night he left, and told him what happened in Professor Lin's house.
Qi Xin, after standing up, patted Zhang Tianye's shoulder, and said to him: "Brother, no matter when, I will stand with you"! With that, he walked back to his tent.
Zhang Tianye, who was sitting by the fire, was very puzzled by what had just happened, from which point of view, he didn't believe that he would sleepwalk, because he didn't have sleepwalking, and his consciousness was also awake at that time, otherwise how could he hear the cry of the owl in the tree, but why didn't he hear the shouts of Qi Xin and Dewey?
The last thing he wants to guess is what Qi Xin and Dewey have hidden from him in this matter, if this kind of thing may happen when he first met Dewey, but Qi Xin, a good brother for so many years, will definitely not hide anything from himself.
Fortunately, he couldn't figure it out, so Zhang Tianye put it aside, picked up the wine jug that Dewey put on the ground, poured it into himself, covered the fire with soil, and after making sure that it would not catch fire, he returned to the tent, set his mind at seven o'clock in the morning, and lay down to sleep.
