Chapter 4: The River

Hearing Wu Jindong's words, Zhu Xiao was stunned for two seconds, and then said, "Old Wu, I think you have a ghost in your heart, right?" Cut, it's a big person, so timid, don't you just want to go down the mountain and sleep comfortably? If you're lazy, you're lazy, and there's a ghost, really. Pen? Interesting?

Zhu Xiao crackled a lot, and Wu Jindong couldn't interject, and finally simply didn't explain.

went to a restaurant to buy food, Wu Jindong took his share and walked to the residence, waved his hand, and motioned for Zhu Xiao to go back alone, no matter what he said, he just didn't hear it. Zhu Xiao couldn't help it, and after expressing his dissatisfaction fiercely, he walked towards the ancient mansion in the dark.

Wu Jindong returned to his room, ate a few bites of food and lay on the bed. After a long day's work, he felt tired, but he didn't feel sleepy. He didn't have the slightest doubt about the breath he felt today, because it was too strong. When he described that feeling to Zhu Xiao, he didn't dare to say it too directly, and wanted to attract Zhu Xiao's attention through the description of the drawer, but he was ridiculed. Wu Jindong, who was lying on the bed, was in a mess in his mind.

Since Zhu Xiao didn't believe my words, and he wanted to run back to die, then it's no wonder that I am. It's a pity that Zi Ying is still in that ancient mansion, but I can't do anything but see if her life is too big.

Thinking of this, Wu Jindong sighed heavily, turned over on the bed, but his eyes were still open, and he looked blankly at the door not far ahead.

Zhu Xiao carried two large plastic bags, which contained meals for eight people. Although this Raven Ridge is not steep, it is not easy to travel in the dark night. With a flashlight in his mouth, he struggled to walk. The pillar of light from the flashlight kept shaking, shaking him a little dizzy, the handle of the plastic bag became thinner and thinner, he felt that his palm hurt as if it had been cut by a knife, but the ground under his feet seemed to be getting softer and softer. At first, he didn't care, but the more he went, the more he felt that something was wrong. The ground on this mountain, which has been walked back and forth several times in the past few days, is very solid and sandy black soil, and it is impossible to be so soft in any case.

Although he was puzzled in his heart, Zhu Xiao did not pause at all. Liu Yong's temper is too clear to him, if he goes back too late and is scolded, he is afraid that he will have to be deducted from his salary, which is not a joke. Thinking of this, Zhu Xiao tried to speed up his pace, in order to rush back to the ancient mansion as soon as possible.

However, it backfired. The more he tried to accelerate, the slower it became. The ground beneath my feet is getting softer and softer, and it doesn't feel like land at all, but like mud.

What's going on?

Zhu Xiao thought in his heart and lowered his head to look.

"Huh?"

At the moment of bowing his head, Zhu Xiao was suddenly surprised to find that he was actually walking by a river. In the night, his vision was not clear, and the light of the flashlight was not strong, but he clearly judged that the river was very strange in color, and the flow was extremely slow, as if it was reflecting the light of the flashlight, and seemed to absorb all the light. However, Zhu Xiao's mind at the moment was not on the strangeness of the river itself.

Is there a river on this Raven Ridge?

Zhu Xiao thought to himself and looked up. The surrounding trees don't seem to be out of the ordinary. He lowered his head again, and the river was still there, and it seemed to be a little wider than before.

Am I dazzled?

Zhu Xiao continued to think. He shook his head, and the beam of light of the flashlight flew wildly. He gathered his thoughts, wanted to get away from the river, and moved to the right. After moving a few steps, he looked down at the river again, only to see that the right bank of the river was still at his feet, but the left bank never seemed to change position.

The ground was still soft beneath his feet, and he kept moving to the right as he lowered his head and raised his head, and from above, it looked as if he was circling the summit of Dark Raven Ridge.

As Zhu Xiao kept moving to the right, the river became wider and wider, and because he had been moving to the right, he was not close to the top of the mountain, and had been moving on a horizontal plane.

Until his right foot, the left bank of the river appeared.

"This ......"

Zhu Xiao was surprised. He stopped and looked to the top of the mountain.

The mountains are bare, there is not a single tree.

Zhu Xiao froze, he really couldn't understand all this in front of him.

With the right bank of the river at his left foot and the left bank of the river at his right foot, there was a path wide in front of him that led to the top of the mountain.

The surprise in his heart gradually turned into horror.

Could it be that what Lao Wu said is true? No, he said that there are ghosts in the ancient house, but this is not an ancient house.

Just then, the phone rang. Zhu Xiao put the plastic bag on the ground in front of him and took out his mobile phone.

"Can you hurry up? Why is it so slow? We're all hungry, we're waiting for you two, hurry up! Liu Yong's voice roared out of the phone.

"Yes, yes, right away, I'm almost there, Team Leader Liu." Zhu Xiao hurriedly agreed.

Putting down the phone, he didn't hesitate any longer, picked up the plastic bag and walked along the path towards the mountain.

The top of the mountain will soon be there, but where is the way down here?

As he kept moving across, the river had covered the entire mountain, and the path he had just walked was the last ground on the mountain.

Zhu Xiao was completely stupid. Standing at the highest point of this Dark Raven Ridge, he could have seen everything on this mountain at a glance, but the darkness in front of him was boundless, and the light of the flashlight seemed so weak, he wanted to penetrate the darkness, but in the end he was only swallowed by the darkness.

The cold sweat on his forehead gradually condensed into large beads of sweat, and Zhu Xiao felt a fluster.

There seems to be only one road.

Zhu Xiao thought so, turned around and planned to return along the road he came, go to the foot of the mountain and go around to the north side of the mountain and then go up.

However, the moment he turned around, he was terrified.

A rotting ghost stood in front of him, with white bones visible on its limbs, two eyeballs protruding out, but no pupils, completely white, and long dry white hair dancing wildly.

Zhu Xiao immediately let out a strange scream, and the flashlight fell in response to the sound and rolled into the river.

Between heaven and earth, there is only darkness.

"It's ten o'clock." Shi Yuan looked at his phone and said.

"Hmm." Royassen replied.

"Two hours to go."

The lights on the second floor have not been extinguished.

"The two people who went out to buy food haven't come back yet. It may be that you don't plan to come back, or you may not want to come back. Luo Yasen said.

"We're not necessarily safe here." Shi Yuan said. They had been waiting not far from the old house.

At the same time, there was a room on the second floor of the ancient mansion, and the atmosphere was solemn.

"Why haven't those two pieces of waste come back!" Liu Yong roared, "Do you want to starve Lao Tzu to death?" ”

Everyone didn't dare to come out, and unconsciously shrank in the direction away from Liu Yong.

"Fan Xusheng, you go outside to see if they have come back, let them hurry up, don't always let Lao Tzu call in person!" Liu Yong shouted again.

Fan Xusheng, who was named by name, was full of excitement, agreed, and walked out quickly.
