Chapter 25: Camouflage
There's a scent on the tree, there are no flowers around, I don't know where the scent comes from, but I'm sure it's definitely coming from the tree. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 I raised my flashlight and took a closer look, from top to bottom, and from bottom to top, and I didn't see anything special, but the scent lingered around us.
The second uncle said: "Don't look for it, I know what this fragrance is, this fragrance is from this tree, this is a kind of body fragrance of it, this tree is called a twin tree, a bit like twin brothers." ”
I said, "Body fragrance? This smell is only found in people! This tree is not human. ”
The second uncle said: "Where do you think about it, everything has its special smell, but some people think this smell is good, and some people think it smells bad." ”
I sniffed around the tree, and as the second uncle said, the whole tree exuded a fragrance.
At this moment, a few butterflies flew from afar, and in the light of the fire, flew around the tree, flew to the tree, stopped there, and did not move, they should also be attracted by the fragrance of the twin trees.
I wanted to climb the tree, but suddenly I didn't have the intention of doing so, and the sticky surface of the bark felt weird, so I sat by the fire and watched the bonfire in amazement.
After a while, the fire was getting smaller and smaller, and it was about to be extinguished, so I got up and walked to the right, trying to find some firewood, and the second uncle called me, "Where are you going?" ”
I said, "The fire is small, you have to go and add firewood, you and I can go and collect some firewood." Such a little firewood can't be burned overnight. I was confused, got up to pick up firewood, there were a lot of branches scattered on my right, dead branches that fell from the tree, it looked like it was burning at one point, I picked up a few, hugged it to my chest, and returned to the fire, just about to add firewood to the fire, the second uncle suddenly pushed me away, the firewood scattered all over the ground, I was a little annoyed, I don't know why the second uncle suddenly lost such a big temper, so he asked him: "Second uncle, what's wrong with you?" Is there something uncomfortable? ”
The second uncle was angry, his eyes widened angrily, and he said to me, "Are you sick today?" What do you see in your hand? ”
I looked at the firewood on the ground, and I didn't know what the second uncle meant, so I said to him, "This is the firewood I just picked up, what's wrong?" ”
The second uncle patted the back of my head: "Look at it again, what is that?" ”
I rubbed my eyes, and when I looked at the firewood again, I found that they were all gone, replaced by a few withered arms, with shriveled skin and sticking to the bones, and I asked the second uncle, "Where is the firewood I just picked up?" ”
The second uncle said: "What about the firewood, I just saw you walk to the right for five minutes, and I haven't seen you come back, and finally when you come back, I saw you come back with a lot of dry bones." ”
I looked around, there were only me and my second uncle next to the fire, and Tong Xiangyu was missing, so I asked the second uncle if he had seen her.
The second uncle said: "She went in one direction with you, and she hasn't come back yet." ”
The second uncle pointed in the direction I had just gone, and I didn't know why there were so many bones, so I looked at the second uncle, picked up the carbine, and walked over there.
There is a forest over there, the trees are generally not high, far from the twin trees we just saw, the grass on the ground is getting deeper and deeper, all up to the knees, we are looking around, shouting Tong Xiangyu's name, the breeze is blowing, and we don't hear Tong Xiangyu's response.
As I walked, there was a gurgling sound, and I realized that I seemed to have stepped on something, and when I looked down with a flashlight, there were some dried broken arms, and there were some heads scattered around, and there was no flesh left, I must have been around for a long time, I don't know why they appeared here? And why would I take them back for firewood?
I looked around and there were all these scattered things, scattered and terrifying. Ten meters away from us, in the grass, there were a few coffins lying there. The surface of the coffin was dark black, as if it had been splashed with ink, and the lid opened a gap.
I glanced at my second uncle and asked him, "The coffin seems to have been opened, as if someone has been here." ”
The second uncle said: "I feel that there is an evil spirit in the coffin, and the coffin may have been opened by itself." ”
I asked, "What do you mean by opening it yourself?" ”
The second uncle said, "There may be zongzi in it." ”
I called out to Tong Xiangyu again, but she still didn't respond, and I took a step forward, ready to see what was inside the coffins.
The severed arm and stump stood in front of me, and I walked cautiously, and the second uncle followed behind, stepping on my footprints and walking forward. I was afraid of stepping on those broken limbs, because as soon as I stepped on them, they suddenly broke apart, as if a person's life had suddenly disappeared, which I didn't want to see.
I glanced back at the second uncle and found that the second uncle was also looking at me, I saw a finger on the heel of the second uncle rolled a little, I wasn't sure if I was dazzled, or if it really moved, I didn't tell the second uncle immediately, focus on those coffins, even if that finger really moved, so what?
We cleared the grass and walked straight to one of the coffins, and I picked up a branch from the ground to pick the lid of the coffin, when suddenly a strange cry came from inside, and my second uncle and I stopped at once.
I couldn't help but shudder and glanced at my second uncle, who was also looking at me with a frightened expression. At this time, I suddenly heard a woman's voice.
My first reaction was a female ghost, it was normal to encounter a female ghost in this kind of wilderness, there was wind around, and the voice of this female ghost was so small, I didn't know where the sound came from. I asked the second uncle, "Did you hear that voice?" ”
The second uncle pricked up his ears, carefully identified it, nodded and said, "There is indeed a voice, it was made by a woman." He listened carefully again and said, "It seems to be Tong Xiangyu's voice." ”
The light of the flashlight swept everywhere, and I opened my eyes wide, pricked up my ears, and said to the voice, "Tong Xiangyu, are you calling us?" ”
The female voice disappeared, I suspected that it was our hallucination, since I didn't find Tong Xiangyu, I focused my attention back on the coffin, and just put the branch into the gap, suddenly a withered hand stretched out from the gap, startling us.
There was a thin layer of white hair on the withered hand, and I thought the withered hand would crawl out of the crack, but no, it bent its index finger, as if it was seducing us, and it seemed to want us to pass.
I said to my second uncle: "This thing is really evil, it seems to be conscious, should we go over?" ”
The second uncle patted me on the shoulder, I knew that he was also hesitant, and he said, "It's better to be careful, I only have a nephew like you, don't be too impulsive in everything." ”
