After looking closely, I realized that the position of the red light was two kilometers away, but because I was standing too high, everything below was naturally reduced several times. The red light was so dazzling that the staggered branches could only partially obscure it. But it was fleeting, and after just over ten seconds, it disappeared silently, as if it had never been.

Zhang Siyuan's eyes sparkled, and he clenched his fists excitedly and howled, "That's a signal flare!" They are in that direction! ”

I still have the shadow of a bright light in front of my retina, and now I see a black semicircle in everything. My dead heart began to beat slowly again, and I craned my neck to look in that direction and said, "It doesn't seem very far. Do you say that the flare was sent by a black bear or did they send it? Could they have come together? ”

He was busy recording the direction and planning the route, and it took a long time to raise his head, and his whole face was completely relaxed: "It must be that they have converged, this forest is so small, it is not easy to find another group of people." ”

A question mark suddenly popped up in my mind: "The trees here are so dense, it stands to reason that firing a flare will definitely catch fire, why don't I see the fire?" ”

He was stunned for a moment, scratched his head and said, "Maybe they were launched in a relatively open place - don't discuss this now, quickly climb down to find them, I have already drawn the route." ”

I looked around at the cobweb-like branches and completely dismissed the idea of grabbing the branches and swinging them to another tree. First of all, we are not apes, and secondly, it is easy to get punctured by branches, and it is easier to fall down. I secretly regretted it, despised myself for coming up with the bad idea of climbing the tree, and moved my stiff legs to climb down.

Finally stepping on the solid ground again, the muscles of my arms and legs were shaking, and my whole body leaned weakly against the giant tree. Zhang Siyuan, a person with uncoordinated hands and feet, fell into the snow with a snap, looked at the bright sky and gasped, and it took a long time to squeeze out a sentence: "How do you feel, it's much harder to come down than to go up......"

We followed the established route and gritted our teeth to speed up. In mid-air, I think it's a short distance, two or three kilometers at most. But it wasn't until I walked that I realized that the road was far away, and after walking for half an hour, we still didn't see the dawn. If it weren't for the fact that this was a straight road, I would have suspected that I had turned the wrong direction.

He gasped, looked up and said, "How do I feel that the further I go, the darker it gets?" Just now when we were in the trees, the sky was still dark, but now it is like the sky at seven o'clock in winter, and it is difficult to find the way. Could it be that it's already evening? Or does the further we go, the more time goes backwards? ”

I struggled to push aside the branches in front of me, looked around, and said, "I feel very wrong. It was getting darker and darker, and the scenery on the side of the road was very unfamiliar...... We're not going down the wrong path, are we? ”

He paused before saying, "No, it's not, I can see it clearly on the road." Let's go in the direction we came, the unfamiliar scenery on the side of the road may be the reason for the sky......"

I went limp under my feet and trembled and interrupted him: "No, this is another way. There is no trace of us left, not even a bear corpse. ”

Even in the inky night, I could see his face turn from red to blue and then to white. I got goosebumps all over my body and stood up again, shivering in my sweaty clothes, and looking around in horror, the trees seemed familiar and unfamiliar, teeth and claws but not a word.

Zhang Siyuan's footsteps became hesitant, he took out the gun from his pocket, and just opened his mouth with a panicked look, and a heavy footstep accompanied by a vague flashlight came from afar.

I shook my whole body and violently covered his mouth, pulling him aside and hiding behind a tree. There were so many trees here that I couldn't see who the man was, so I might as well hide first.

My heart began to throb, half joy, half panic. It seemed that there were three or four people walking towards it, and the footsteps were chaotic but not hurried, not in the situation of being chased. Zhang Siyuan couldn't bear it anymore, his hands and feet began to move, his eyes rolled around, if I hadn't grabbed him tightly, he would definitely jump out to greet them.

Just when our hearts were hanging in our throats, and we wanted to rush up to see clearly, the footsteps suddenly stopped. Immediately after, an incomparably familiar voice came into my ears clearly: "Where the hell did they go?" ”

With all due respect, Wang Linshuo's voice on weekdays is a little hoarse and a little low, and the words "good" can't be hung up at all. But at this time, I think it's the best sound in the world, even comparable to the sound of money falling into the pocket. Zhang Siyuan swooped out like an arrow, shouting: "Give me water and food, Lao Tzu is going to starve to death!" ”

Wang Zhen slapped him in the face, and scolded with a long sigh of relief: "You two left the team and acted without authorization, you should be rewarded with a few slaps, don't think about water or food." ”

Zhang Siyuan was anxious, grabbed his collar with a snort and said loudly: "I don't carry this pot, it's obvious that you two disappeared first, and I haven't had time to ask where you went." ”

I looked at Wang Linshuo, who was obviously relaxed, with a ruddy face, and Xiao Zhao, who was standing behind me with an embarrassed smile, and a big stone in my heart finally fell to the ground, and I sighed and said, "You definitely can't imagine what the two of us have experienced this night." ”

Wang Linshuo raised his eyebrows, stared at me in surprise, his hand froze in the air, and said in a long voice: "One night? ”

Zhang Siyuan, who had been arguing with Wang Zhen endlessly, suddenly turned around and said, "I'm convinced, these two people's brains are really in the water." Zhang Xuan, tell them how we watched the sky and never saw the five fingers showing the white of the fish's belly. ”

Before I could speak, Wang Zhen preemptively said: "Fish belly white? Let's take a look at the sky now, it's getting darker. He pulled Xiao Zhao's wrist again, pointed to the hands of the luminous watch and said, "It's 7:15, and a few of us should be separated around 5:40." It's only been a little over an hour, so where did the 'one night' come from? Could it be that the two of you have entered the time tunnel and walked around? ”

His last words were just a joke, but they shook us both as hard as a meteorite hitting our hearts. Zhang Siyuan and I looked at each other in horror, and we both saw confusion and panic in each other's eyes. Wang Linshuo saw that our faces were pale and our expressions were stiff, and he knew that something was wrong. He lowered his face and said, "When Wang Zhen and I walked along that road, we both felt a slight headache. We didn't care, we walked all the way to the river, and we were pleasantly surprised to find that we were back to square one, back to the river with holes in the ice, and the black bears were bandaging their wounds and changing the clothes of the people who fell into the river. Strange to say, I thought I had been in the woods for nearly two hours, but when I asked the black bear, it was only twenty minutes. ”

Zhang Siyuan gasped, and my heart seemed to be grabbed violently. Wang Zhen glanced at us, and then said: "After that, Er Shuo and I went back to look for the two of you, the road leading to the forest is no different from other times, everything is as usual, but the only thing that is wrong is that you two are no longer there, and there is no trace left." I was so anxious that I couldn't find it, and I even lost my watch. ”

Zhang Siyuan asked quietly, "When did you find out that the watch was missing?" ”

Wang Zhen pondered: "I've been busy looking for you, and I didn't bother to look at my watch at all, until I walked out of the forest with Ershuo dejected, I found that my hands were a little empty, and I didn't find them when I went back to look for them." ”

Zhang Siyuan exchanged glances with me, I took out the watch from my pocket, raised my eyebrows and said, "Look at what this is?" ”

Wang Zhen's eyes widened in an instant, and he was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth, snatched the watch, held it in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully for a while, and burst into a few foul words and exclaimed: "Where did you pick it up - no, I should ask where you went at that time?" ”

As we walked, we told them about this strange experience, because Xiao Zhao was still by my side, so Zhang Siyuan and I tacitly agreed to press down the discovery of the giant tree, and only said that we saw their signal flare when we were cornered. Xiao Zhao, who has always been suspicious, did not ask questions, but Wang Linshuo and Wang Zhen were amazed for a while, and asked many questions for a while.

Wang Linshuo frowned and said: "It seems that there is really a strong magnetic field hidden in that forest - no, it can't be described as a strong magnetic field anymore, I'm afraid it's a space-time tunnel." ”

Wang Zhen sighed: "No wonder Uncle Lu crossed all the forests on both sides of the road on the map. At the time, I was thinking that I would question you after I found you, but now it seems that you should have questioned us. ”

Zhang Siyuan lamented: "Young Master Wang, don't you know how bitter we are, we hit our heads and broke our blood, and we are hungry and running around in the dark forest. Treat me to something to eat. ”

As soon as he lifted his head, I suddenly remembered the man who was out of sight, but who had come and gone without a trace. I couldn't help but gasp and shiver, and the fear that went deep into my bone marrow was deeply engraved in my mind. I asked, "Do you say that the man who can't see but can hear footsteps is real?" ”
