Chapter 157: Lanterns
We simply pretended to be tourists, walked around the woods, didn't see any of them, and were hesitating to go in when we saw someone driving over, wearing uniforms.
They explained that during this time, the forest would be closed for tree cultivation, and they would not be allowed to enter it for the time being.
A few of us looked at each other and left very cooperatively.
But we didn't go back, but turned around and went to the village at the foot of the mountain.
There are many people at the entrance of the village, selling all kinds of snacks and mineral water.
I went to buy a few bottles of water, and I talked to the aunt who sold water for a long time, and finally said in disappointment: "It's really not the right time to come, just catch up with Fenglin, and I originally wanted to go in and take a few pictures." ”
The aunt pouted and said, "If you want me to say, you young people are just idle, and there is nothing to see in the broken woods." ”
I approached and mysteriously said, "We're not just here for the forest, there's a video on the Internet this morning, and there's an ape jumping around in the trees with a mask, and we're here to see it." ”
On the way here, Lin Yan specially read us the replies of many netizens, and many people said that it was an ape.
Auntie's face changed when she heard this, but she didn't say anything.
I bought another bag of snacks, spent a lot of money, and asked curiously, "Auntie, you live here, you must have seen that ape, right?" What does that thing look like? ”
My aunt still refused to say, so I moved next to her, stuffed her with some money, and talked for a long time.
In the end, the aunt sighed, didn't ask for money, and whispered: "I see that you are a sincere child, so I will tell you the truth, it is not an ape at all, it is a soul messenger." ”
As I spoke, my aunt kept watching me, as if to tell if I believed her or not.
This time I was really surprised, "This ...... Not really......"
"That thing has been there since I got married, every time someone sees that thing, they have to die, you don't see that the people in our village don't dare to go up the mountain, the people who used to be guides outside the forest are people from other villages, you are young, hurry home, live a good life, don't think about it all day long." Aunt said earnestly.
I scratched my head, blushed embarrassedly, hummed, took two steps forward and turned back, and said to my aunt, "Does anyone in our village rent a house?" It was done overnight, and we had planned to stay in a tent in the woods today, so we let the driver who sent us over, and now we can't go back. ”
Auntie asked how many of us were, and as soon as I heard it, there was a play, so I hurriedly asked Xiaobai and them to pass.
In the end, she said that she could just live in her old house.
We followed her into the village.
My aunt lives alone and likes to be well-behaved children, so she specially called us over to eat, teased Xiaobai for a long time, and gave him a lot of fruit at the end.
When she came out of her house, Xiaobai's face darkened, and she emphatically said, "I'm already an adult." ”
I smiled and comforted him: "We believe in you. ”
He puffed up and followed us on his short legs.
Looking at him, I couldn't help but think of obedience.
"Xiaobai, what is the relationship between you and obedience?" I asked, there are many strangers who look alike, but those who look like them are twins.
"I'll tell you later." He said.
I raised my eyebrows, then when I figure out what is in the forest, I will chase Xiaobai and ask things clearly.
We didn't sleep for several nights, and when the lights were out, we squatted at the door of the house, and waited for the village to be silent before we jumped out of the back wall and went into the woods.
As soon as you get close to the forest, you can hear the panic and warning sound inside.
I thought to myself, "Somebody's in." ”
They all took their weapons out of their bags and whispered after me.
The farther you go, the quieter it becomes.
I speed up.
Those things are also on the run.
We followed the sound for more than half an hour, and the grass around us was taller than people, and finally we saw those things.
They were cowering in the trees, and the first few were wounded.
Ye Hong stood in front of them with people, all with guns in their hands.
"Let him come out, or I'll burn this forest." He said to those things.
To my surprise, the things seemed to understand him, looked at each other, and shouted at him in unison.
I was amazed that these things could understand people.
Ye Hong sneered, and he was about to move the gun, but at this time, a little candlelight suddenly lit up not far away, and it came slowly.
When I got closer, I saw a thing with an iron hood, carrying a lantern, and dressed like a human, with the same pale arms and neck exposed.
As soon as he came, the thing that was climbing on the tree immediately jumped down, as if he had found the backbone of the main heart, and no longer screamed in panic.
Seeing this thing, Ye Hong took two steps back with someone, "Hand over the Yin Guard, I can spare you from dying." ”
The thing didn't speak, just walked forward with the lantern.
Ye Hong's eyes were sharp, and he raised his gun to hit him, but he suddenly threw the lantern in his hand into the air, got on all fours, and ran towards Ye Hong, the speed was extremely fast, and he had already arrived in front of Ye Hong between breaths, the iron cover was facing Ye Hong's face, and one hand grabbed his hand.
The next moment, Ye Hong screamed and was thrown directly in front of me.
After throwing Ye Hong, the thing turned back again, caught the lantern, and looked at us quietly.
He moved too fast, I didn't react at all, and I stared at Ye Hong, who was falling on all sides, and it took a long time to get up from the ground and take a few steps back.
Ye Hong also got up from the ground in embarrassment, and was about to go further, when he heard the thing holding the lantern say, "One step further, your life is not guaranteed." ”
In order to verify his words, Xu used the same direction to throw the lantern into the air, directly into the face of the person closest to him, and threw him out before the person could react.
Only this time, the person who was thrown out did not just fall to the ground, but directly hit the tree and did not move.
Ye Hong frowned, I looked at his expression, not that I was afraid of this thing, but that I seemed to be afraid of something.
In the end, Ye Hong turned around and left with an unwilling face.
The thing came towards me with a lantern, and I looked at them and was shocked, they were obviously animal bodies, but they walked like people.
They stopped when they were about ten paces away from me.
The leader reached out and handed me the lantern.
I tentatively asked, "For me?" ”
He nodded.
I wanted to go up and pick it up, but Xiaobai grabbed me, "This thing is too weird, and the situation between the enemy and me is unknown." ”
I patted him on the shoulder, smiled and said, "It's okay, he didn't mean to hurt me." ”
I went up and took the lantern, and he took me by the hand and led me into the woods until I came to a hut.
The house was very broken, and the wood was so badly corroded that it seemed to be collapsing in the next moment.
