Chapter 21: Dead Zongzi
The shopkeeper listened to it and said with a smile: "I've heard too much of your kind of rhetoric!" There is basically nothing here, I have met a lot of people coming here, staying here with us, just like you, bringing so much equipment, they have not come out since they went in, it is a dangerous place, three bowls are not enough. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoEveryone knows that the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang is there, but they can't bring anything with it. ”
The shopkeeper pointed us to a path, which was a mountain path that led to Lishan Mountain, flanked by dense woods and overgrown with weeds. He took us to the junction and went back alone.
The path was wide in some places, narrow in others, and only as wide as one or two people, and wide enough to walk two carriages, and the ground was full of gravel. The four of us walked for an hour, and when we looked back, we could no longer see the entrance from which we came, only to see the winding stone path stretching backwards like a snake, and the woods on both sides became shorter and shorter, and gradually disappeared into the sky, and we realized that we had walked a long distance.
In the process of walking, we can hear all kinds of insects and birds, and in the dense trees on both sides, with a bang, a bird suddenly pops out, fluttering its wings, and flies into the distance.
There was a remnant sun hanging in the west, blood red and blood red. After walking for about half an hour, the surroundings suddenly fell silent, and no more insects and birds could be heard, and in the silence of the woods, only the sound of our footsteps and heavy breathing could be heard.
The night gradually fell, and when we looked up, there was a rolling mountain, which gradually appeared in front of us, and that was Lishan.
Visually judging that this Lishan Mountain should be a long distance away from us, the second uncle suddenly stopped, and I hurriedly asked him what was going on? He shushed and whispered, "There seems to be something strange in this woods. ”
I held my breath, stopped, and listened closely, there was really no sound around me, not a trace of wind, no leaves moving, and it was a little frighteningly quiet. The surroundings were hazy, and the three of us looked at each other and felt a little strange.
This makes us look at the sky, it is simply impossible, look up at the sky, there are no dark clouds in the sky, the stars have already risen, even if a storm is coming, it is impossible that there is no wind at all.
There are some footprints on the stone path, which stretches into the woods. The surrounding woods were darker, and I felt the urge to go and see them, but I quickly suppressed the thought.
It's like riding a bicycle down the street and always looking around from time to time, and that's the kind of mentality I have now.
We stopped, and now we could only hear each other's heartbeats and breathing. There must be bugs or something in the woods, and it makes a little noise, and it's unusual to be completely quiet.
I picked up a stone and threw it into the woods, making a muffled noise, and the stone hit the trunk of the tree, but there was no sound of insects. Tong Xiangyu said: "What are you doing here? Lishan is our destination. ”
Tong Xiangyu is right, it is impossible for us to go back, even if there is something unpredictable in the rear, we will not return.
The second uncle took the lead, Tong Xiangyu walked in the middle, and I walked in the end. I inadvertently glanced back, and the trees around me were motionless, as if they were still.
I suddenly remembered one thing, that was when I was in Daxinganling, I was sealed in a coffin, when I came out, a long time has passed, and the coffin made me live faster than ordinary people, did we encounter the same situation?
The clouds walked slowly, and I didn't believe there was time to stand still, so I stopped, carefully picked up the weeds around me, and strode into the woods, which were dense, damp and slippery, with no footprints, and moss in some places.
The second uncle wanted to follow, and I asked him to stand there and not move, for fear of alarming the surroundings, but also for the safety of the second uncle.
I picked up the flashlight and shone it into the depths of the woods, the light of the flashlight was limited, and the trees were so dense that I could only see about five meters away, and everywhere the flashlight went, there were only some gray-brown bark and leaves, and the shadow behind it was beyond my eyes.
There was still no sound of insects, and after taking a few steps forward, the second uncle told me not to go too far. I was behind those trees, and I raised my flashlight, and shone and shone, and there was nothing behind the shadows.
I glanced back at my second uncle and saw that he was yelling at me, dancing with his hands, but he didn't make a sound, so I said to him, "Second uncle, why don't you just open your mouth and keep making a sound?" ”
The second uncle still kept what he did just now, and I saw Tong Xiangyu also waving at me, saying something in his mouth, and seeing that I didn't respond to them, they talked for a while, and then walked towards me. I didn't want them to come, so I went back the same way first, and when I came to the stone path, I asked my second uncle, "What were you calling me just now?" ”
The second uncle said: "I've been asking you to come back, but you don't listen to me, and you keep going forward." ”
I said, "I couldn't hear what you're talking about." ”
Tong Xiangyu and the second uncle glanced at each other and asked, "Is there really a problem in the forest?" ”
My second uncle and I decided to go down and have a look, and let Tong Xiangyu stay on the stone path. My second uncle and I stepped on the footprints I left earlier, came to the place just now, and looked around with a flashlight, but still didn't see anything special.
The second uncle was next to me, and I turned my head and asked him, "Second uncle, what do you see?" ”
The second uncle looked ahead, very alert, I don't know if he heard my words, presumably because he didn't want me to disturb him. He went on like this for two minutes, and I got a little impatient and asked him again if he saw anything.
The second uncle didn't reply, his eyes were looking around, I thought the second uncle was angry with me, I ignored him just now, so he ignored me now. I looked at the direction of the second uncle's eyes, and I didn't see anything abnormal, and when I turned around, I saw that the second uncle was frowning at me.
The second uncle still has that expression, and I wonder if there is some poisonous gas in this woods that has poisoned him dumb, so now he can't make a sound. I held his head with both hands and leaned my face to him: "Second uncle, say whatever you want." Still, he winked at me, and it occurred to me that he was hinting at me. There was a monster behind me, and he couldn't make a noise to me, so he reminded me with his eyes. I looked back, but I still didn't see anything.
At this time, I seemed to understand something, the second uncle frowned at me, he probably thought that I couldn't hear his voice, I really couldn't hear him, and we seemed to be isolated by something. The second uncle calmed down and gradually understood this.
