Early the next morning, before dawn, we packed our bags and set out for the mountains. Everyone carried a bag and carried all kinds of things to prop up the backpack, and according to the instructions on the map, we approached the Daba mountain range step by step.

The mountain road here is very difficult to walk, and there are many local hunters set up hunting traps along the way, and if you are not careful, you may be hit, so we are exploring the road while walking, and the trip is even slower.

Half a day's walk took us over two hills, but the town had been left far behind us, and there was no sound along the way except the panting of the three of us and the chirping of birds in the jungle. The deeper we went into the mountains, the more dense the trees became, and we almost reached an area where the hunters had never been, and the road was gone, so we had to cut a path with our daggers. I don't feel a little annoyed, it's the first time I've entered the mountain, I don't have much experience, I knew that this was the case, we should have brought a few firewood knives, and now I really regret it.

After walking on for a while, the monkey shouted, "I can't fucking walk." After speaking, he sat on the ground, Lao Zhao and I were tired enough, so we stopped to rest for a while, we ate some dry food and drank some water, and then I felt relieved. Lao Zhao took out the map from his bag and spread it on the ground, and then used a compass to determine the direction, judging from the drawings, we are still more than 30 kilometers away from where the spirit mirror is, in the mountains of this primeval forest, we need to rely on a dagger to cut a road, so the journey of more than 30 kilometers is like 108,000 miles, even if we rush non-stop, we will have to walk for at least three days and three nights, not to mention that we can't rush at night.

We rested for about half an hour before we set off, and in order to save our bodies, the three of us took turns to open the way in front.

This walk is more than half a day, unconsciously, the sky is almost dark, then the front of the road Lao Zhao stopped, said: "It's almost dark, today is not able to walk, let's find a place to sleep for a night, tomorrow and continue to hurry." ”

So we put down our backpacks, and the monkey and I used daggers to cut out a circular clearing with a diameter of more than three meters wide, and then cleaned up the weeds and branches in the clearing, and Lao Zhao lit a fire in the center of the circular clearing.

After a day of walking on the mountain road, my feet were almost worn out, and there were a few big blisters on the soles of my feet, which made me shiver in pain. We ate some dry food and planned to sleep, at this time Lao Zhao said: "We have to take turns on duty at night, the three of us can't sleep at the same time, if there are any wild beasts in the middle of the night, we should be on guard, and this firewood must also be careful, if the whole mountain is burned, it will be a big trouble." The monkey and I both thought it made sense, so we both nodded in agreement. Lao Zhao continued: "You two sleep first, I'm not sleepy, I'll guard the first shift, three hours later, the monkey will come to replace me, Brother Yang will keep the last." After saying that, Lao Zhao took out the map and looked at it by the light of the firewood, while the monkey and I fell asleep.

After a long day of walking in the mountains, I was physically and mentally exhausted, and as soon as I lay down, my eyelids felt heavy and weak, and after a while I began to feel confused, and then I fell asleep.

I don't know how long I slept, in a daze I felt someone calling me, I slowly opened my eyes, at the moment I opened my eyes, the picture in front of me made me gasp, I was instantly scared out of a cold sweat, I saw the monkey staring at me with blood on his face, his mouth, eyes, nose were bleeding, the whole face was extremely twisted and hideous, his bloodshot eyes stared straight at me, his mouth seemed to be repeating something, I held my breath and listened carefully, he seemed to be saying "help me".

I was immediately frightened, the monkey's extremely twisted and hideous face was getting closer and closer to me, almost touching my nose, and my body seemed to be frozen and could not move at all, so I gritted my teeth and used all my strength to push the monkey's face away with my hands.

Suddenly, I sat up, I gasped for air, my clothes were soaking wet, it turned out that I had a nightmare just now. I looked at the monkey sleeping next to me, he was still snoring and sleeping soundly, but Lao Zhao was smoking his pipe while still staring at the map by the light of firewood, seeing that I suddenly sat up and was startled, Lao Zhao asked me what was going on, I just said that I had a nightmare and lay down again, I looked at my watch, it was just a quarter past twelve.

After lying down again, I felt a little uncomfortable, the extremely distorted and hideous face of the monkey in the dream just now appeared in my mind from time to time, I didn't know why I had such a dream, just as I kept wondering what the dream just now meant, I slowly fell asleep again.

I don't know how long I slept, but I seemed to feel someone calling me again, and with the shock of the nightmare before, this time I woke up immediately, and instinctively reflexively shrank back.

I could see clearly that it was the monkey calling me, and it was not the same as in the previous nightmare, the monkey's face was not bleeding, and its face was not twisted and hideous, and then I was relieved.

When the monkey saw that I was nervous, he asked, "Old Yang, what's wrong with you, why did you see me like a ghost!" I fixed my mind and said, "You don't fucking know, I had a nightmare that saw your face worse than a ghost!" When the monkey heard me say this, he thought I was joking with him, so he smiled: "Huh? Are you fucking dreaming of me? You kid shouldn't be interesting to me, are you? As soon as I heard this, I scolded, "Fuck off, I'm not fucking joking with you." ”

When the monkey saw that I was not joking, he came to me and asked me what was the matter, so I described the scene from the nightmare to the monkey, and the monkey stopped laughing and became nervous.

I saw that something was wrong with the monkey's face and said, "Isn't it just a dream, what a big deal!" To change the subject, I then asked the monkey, "Well, I say, why are you waking me up?" Isn't it time for me to be on duty?" I looked at my watch, and it was only past two minutes, less than an hour after I had been awakened by a nightmare.

I was a little puzzled, so I asked the monkey, "Oh no, I'm on the last shift, you should be on duty at this point!" ”。 The monkey frowned and said, "I was woken up by a bubble of urine just now, so I got up and was about to pee, but I found that Lao Zhao was gone!" ”

I was shocked when I heard this, and immediately looked at the fire, and Lao Zhao was indeed gone, and the map was still on the ground. I looked around again, and there was indeed no trace of Lao Zhao.

I said to the monkey, "In the middle of the night, where will Lao Zhao go?" Maybe it's peeing not far away! So the monkey and I called Lao Zhao a few times, but there was no response at all. I then said to the monkey: "I said monkey, Lao Zhao shouldn't go to the mirror alone." ”

As soon as the monkey heard this, he immediately denied my speculation: "How is it possible, it was Lao Zhao who came to us to find the mirror together, and now how can he leave us alone?" Besides, in this barren mountains and mountains, how dangerous it is to act alone, even if we can't help, one more person will take care of it, so it is impossible for Lao Zhao to leave us alone to find the mirror. "I think it makes sense when I hear the monkey say this, but this dark light in the middle of the night, where will Lao Zhao go.
