Early the next morning, Li Chenfeng sold all the valuable things at home, managed to scrape together more than 10,000 yuan, and then bought a train ticket to Yunnan.

The train took three days and two nights, then he changed to a car, and as marked on the map, he knew that he was getting closer and closer to his destination.

The car swayed slowly down the winding mountain road, occasionally shaking against the gravel on the road, and a few passengers in the car leaned lazily on their seats, these passengers looked like locals, their appearance and clothing exuded a rustic air.

Li Chenfeng suddenly raised his head and said to the conductor: "May I ask if Sanhe Village is almost here?" ”

The female conductor was taken aback, her eyes widened and she asked, "You mean Mikawa Village?" ”

Li Chenfeng said politely: "Yes, it's my first time here, so I'm a little unclear. ”

At this time, the driver's uncle interjected: "Young man, the Three Rivers Village Station was canceled a few years ago. ”

Li Chenfeng was suddenly shocked, and when he thought of the old beggar, he was a little angry, and secretly scolded: "Damn, that old man called Hanako won't be playing with me!" ”

The driver said, "Young man, do you have anything important to do when you go to Sanhe Village?" ”

"Also...... No...... It's important......"

At this point, it seems even less cost-effective to go back, after all, I have spent so much money and time in it. So he then said to the driver, "Can you please stop me in Sanhe Village?" ”

"No problem."

In early autumn, just after four o'clock, the valley was already shrouded in a solemn twilight, and the winding mountain road was so narrow that it could barely allow two cars to pass side by side. On one side of the road is a steep and steep slope with bare rocks, and on the other side is a cliff that has collapsed for a full 50 meters, and on the road without a protective fence, I don't know how many cars fall in a year.

Beneath the cliffs, streams crash against the rocks, and on the opposite side is a dense jungle. According to local passengers, hundreds of pounds of iron sheets or car parts can be picked up at hand, and they can be exchanged for money when they are taken outside. It's a pity that it is very difficult to transport those things out, there were many locals who did this in the past, and then there was an accident, a few people did not come out after they went in, and the people who searched for it did not even find the body, and then there were fewer and fewer people who did this thing, and there were basically no more in recent years.

"This is it, the village of Three Rivers has arrived."

The car stopped, Li Chenfeng took a black backpack, and was just about to get off the car, and the honest driver uncle said: "Remember, today's last train is three hours later, and you can go to the front station to take the train at that time, don't miss it." ”

Li Chenfeng smiled and thanked him, and then got out of the car.

The car spewed black smoke and gradually disappeared on the winding mountain road, Li Chenfeng found that there was still a stop sign of Sanhe Village Station standing on the side of the road, but the words on the iron sheet were so rusted that they couldn't read clearly.

Li Chenfeng looked around, looked at the map again, and said to himself: "There is only one path here, let's go in and have a look first." ”

This gently uphill path leads through the mountainside to the depths of the woods, and it may not have been a long time since anyone has passed, and the path is overgrown with weeds, and it seems that the path will disappear soon.

Li Chenfeng moved forward slowly while pushing away the weeds with his hands, but the more he walked inside, the more lush the weeds became, and the road became more and more difficult to walk. From time to time, the cobwebs stuck to his face, causing a burst of itching, which was really unpleasant.

After walking like this for about an hour, his eyes suddenly opened up, and a dilapidated village appeared before his eyes, and the road under his feet went straight into the village.

Now that the sky was getting dark, Li Chenfeng waited for his eyes to look at the village a few times, and found that there was no light, no cooking smoke, no people, not even a sound. Sure enough, just like the driver's uncle said, Sanhe Village is uninhabited, and it has become a deserted village.

At this time, he tried to pull out the map to take a look, but found that his pocket was empty.

"Damn, I must have just fallen on the road."

In this unfamiliar place, it was very troublesome to not have a map, so he had no choice but to go back the way he came.

At this time, it was basically completely dark, Li Chenfeng took out a flashlight from his bag, and then carefully looked for the map on the road he came from just now, and after walking like this for a while, he finally felt that something was wrong, this was not the road he came from just now.

He raised his flashlight and shone it around, and found that the grass just now had turned into a dense forest, and there was a huge sound of water in the distance, and the surrounding air had become very humid, thinking that there must be a waterfall around, Li Chenfeng had already entered a completely unfamiliar environment.

"Damn, I'm completely lost now!"

If you get lost in the mountains in the middle of the night, you must be panicked by anyone, but Li Chenfeng's mental quality is not bad, or a person who has attempted suicide is not even afraid of death, so there is rarely anything that can scare him.

He thought to himself, if there is a waterfall, there must be a river, and if you go down the river, you will definitely be able to get out.

So he went in the direction of the sound of the water, and in a moment a huge waterfall appeared before his eyes, and under the waterfall was a rushing river, which he remembered as if it was the great river below the cliff when he came by car today.

He walked down the river as planned, there were no roads on both sides of the river, there were many vines and bushes except for some big trees, and Li Chenfeng walked for more than two hours and did not advance much.

At this moment, he was already exhausted, and his body was also cut by the spikes in the jungle, large and small wounds, he found a flat place to do it a little helplessly, and sighed deeply.

"For the sake of money and women, am I easy?"

The big river of the mountain stream kept rushing, and the river seemed particularly deep at night, and I don't know if it was because of water phobia or what the reason was, Li Chenfeng felt furious when he took a look at the water.

After a pause he continued walking, when suddenly two black shadows in the woods in front of him leaned towards him, and he bent down to pick up a branch and stood still, and then raised his flashlight to shine at the two black shadows, and at the same time a voice came from the dark shadows.

"Brother, there seems to be someone in front."

This voice was like a local dialect in Yunnan, and at the same time, Li Chenfeng saw these two black shadows clearly, it turned out to be two locals dressed as peasants, their clothes were tattered, and there was a lot of mud on their bodies, and they looked very embarrassed.

After approaching, Li Chenfeng saw their appearance clearly, although the soil was rustic, but it also revealed a kind of simplicity, and they looked like local farmers.

"Who are you?"

"We are farmers from Kihara Village, and we came here a few days ago to pick up iron and took a fork in the road, and we haven't walked out until now. Brother, why are you here? ”

Li Chenfeng said: "I am a foreigner, I originally wanted to go to Sanhe Village, but then I got lost. ”

Saying the words "Sanhe Village", the two peasant brothers suddenly changed their faces, and one of them looked around sneakily, and then whispered to Li Chenfeng: "Brother, you can't go to Sanhe Village, that place is haunted." ”

Another continued: "The people of Trois-Rivières were dead ten years ago. ”

Li Chenfeng recalled the deserted village he saw just now, and couldn't help but gasp, but he pretended to be calm and said, "Okay, I didn't go in anyway." What should we do now, can we walk along this river? ”

The farmer shook his head, "There is no way, and if you go down the river, there will be cliffs on both sides, and there is no road at all, and even monkeys will not be able to cross it." ”

"I'm rubbing, so what are we going to do?"

"It's a big night, it's easy to encounter ghosts hitting the wall, let's find a way when it's dawn."

Seeing that these two brothers looked very good-looking, Li Chenfeng had no choice but to listen to them, so the three of them collected some dry firewood and built a bonfire, and they planned to live by this fire for a night.

Li Chenfeng noticed that the two peasants were carrying baskets on their backs, which seemed to be carrying heavy things.

Li Chenfeng pointed to the back basket and asked, "What's in here?" ”

The farmer grinned and said, "This is the iron that our brothers picked up in the river." ”

Li Chenfeng remembered what he had heard from the locals in the car, the road on the cliff had no guardrails, and many cars fell down every year, and many locals went to the valley to pick up car parts and sell them for money.

"Didn't you say that a lot of people died down there, it's very dangerous, and a lot of people who picked up iron didn't come out when they walked in, and you still dare to go down."

One of the farmers sighed and said, "My mother has cancer, and she is lying in the hospital in the county, and I really can't help it." ”

Another farmer said: "I knew I wouldn't have come, but now I'm trapped in the forest and can't get out, so my mother is left with my sister-in-law to take care of it alone." ”

Li Chenfeng sighed, thinking that everyone was a hard-working person, and no one could get any better.

He took out compressed biscuits from his backpack and gave them to eat, and the two peasants were so hungry that they devoured them as if they were more fragrant than meat.

After eating, the three of them exchanged a few more pleasantries, and then they fell asleep by the fire, and all three of them had been sparing in the forest for a long time, and now they were already exhausted.

The next morning, the sun shone on Li Chenfeng's face through the gap between the leaves, and he sat up slowly, the fire beside him had been extinguished.

But the two peasants by the fire were nowhere to be seen, and he suddenly became angry in his heart, and said: "These two bastards won't leave me and leave first, there are really few people who can be trusted these days." ”

Just as he was about to leave with his backpack on his back, he suddenly noticed two compressed biscuits next to the extinguished fire, and he suddenly felt that something was wrong, because he had watched the two peasants eat the compressed biscuits with his own eyes last night.

"Pick up iron?"

Li Chenfeng recalled the words he heard in the car again, "The people who went to the valley to pick up iron had an accident, and a few people didn't come out after they went in, and the people who searched didn't even find the body, and after that, there were fewer and fewer people doing this job, and there were basically no more in the past few years." ”

"It's basically gone in the past few years, and the two farmers who picked up iron said that they had gone a few days ago......"

Li Chenfeng thought about it, cold sweat was already oozing from his back, and then he pulled his legs and started running, but before he could run a few steps, his feet suddenly emptied, and his whole body fell down.
