Chapter XIII Entry
It wasn't until their figures completely disappeared from view that Yun Xi turned his head that had been looking back, and muttered angrily, "It's all you, otherwise I can secretly turn back by myself, this is good, the holiday is not a quarter of the way over, and I will be stuffy in the house again." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Ruexiang, who couldn't hear anything, looked at her puffed up expression and smiled softly. She couldn't hear it, so she didn't speak, and she didn't have much use for her to speak, so her words were not very clear, and she was embarrassed to ask the little girl why she was troubled at the moment.
……
"Into the mountains?" Song Jie rubbed his hair and stretched.
Lanzhi rubbed his hands and looked at the sun, it was already about three o'clock at the moment, "We can go directly into the mountain, and before sunset, we can go up to the mountainside of Mofeng, where there is a village, and we usually take out some things from the mountains." ”
Song Jie nodded, indicating that he had no objections, and tightened the backpack behind him, "Sister Lanzhi, don't you bring anything?" ”
Laneige walked in front, and Song Jie saw that she didn't have anything on her, so she opened her mouth to ask, but the two of them still walked directly in the direction of the entrance of the northern country.
"You don't need to bring anything, the northern country is also a country, no matter what, there will be no food and clothing, otherwise it would have been annexed by neighboring countries a long time ago?" Laneige took great strides as he took the time to answer Song Jie's questions.
"By the way, since you were kicked out by Sami Peak, how can you go back?" Song Jie suddenly thought of such a question, "It won't cause you any trouble, right?" ”
Lanzhi shook his head, "Xiangxiang is gone, it's nothing for me to live alone on the mountain, and the peak master is not so unreasonable." ”
Song Jie shook his head, nodded again, and looked at the woman who was leading the way in front with some sympathy in his eyes. The thin figure looked fragile in the sunlight, as if a gust of wind could crush her.
The two men entered the country without any problems, and even though the border was defended by a broken wooden fence, the people here seemed to be at ease. Crossing the border line like an ordinary fence, Song Jie couldn't tell why, the whole person suddenly relaxed, and a feeling that the mission was about to be completed gradually appeared in his heart.
There was only a dirt road that had been trodden out of the foot, leading to an unknown distance, the road was not wide, and it was overgrown with weeds.
Laneige stood at the entrance and was stunned for a moment before waving his hand and beckoning Song Jie, "Follow me, don't get lost." ”
"The temperature in the mountains has dropped very quickly this year, and I don't know what the reason is, the grass here is a little yellow, so let's hurry up." Laneige turned back to him and admonished, and the frequency of his steps increased slightly.
Song Jie glanced at Yunding Peak in the distance, which was surrounded by many low peaks around him, and answered, increasing his steps.
The long journey has made Song Jie a little out of breath, Laneige said that walking to sunset is really going to sunset, at this moment the sun is slanting to the west, and the red fiery clouds have covered the sky, before that, their steps have not stopped, Laneige has maintained the speed of the road without slowing down in the slightest, and finally reached the foot of the mountain at this moment, which slowed down. "Are you okay? We have to hurry up the mountain, otherwise it will be too dark for a while, and the mountain road will be even more difficult to walk. ”
Song Jie stood on his legs and gasped for a while, before he raised his head and made an OK gesture to Laneige, he was almost tired and had no strength to speak.
"Looking at you as a young man with a lot of spirit, why is your physical strength so poor, you will never be able to climb to the top of the clouds." Laneige glanced at him, and he hated that iron was not steel.
Song Jie gritted his teeth, and his steps were fast again, but after walking for such a short time, how could he just think about resting!
However, due to the limitations of their physical strength, when the sun's rays finally returned to the horizon, they still failed to climb to the village on the mountainside, but fortunately this was only the outer peak, and the moonlight could still illuminate the road without the obstruction of other peaks.
"You can't do this physical strength, there are people living near the peaks on the periphery, there is not much danger, the northern country is different from other countries, the more you go to the center of the country, the more sparsely populated, the worse the environment, it is easy to be attacked by wild beasts when walking at night, and it is easy to get lost on the mountain road." Laneige explained to him as he observed his surroundings.
Song Jie actually didn't see how Laneige chose the road, this mountain is full of flowers and plants, and there are not too dense trees, Song Jie sees that there is no difference.
"The mountain that brought you here is one of the farther away in the outer mountains, but there is a direction after going down the mountain of Sami Peak, but after last year, there are very few outsiders who choose to come here, I heard that there is an outsider who was frightened in the woods on this mountain, saying that it is haunted, and then it has been experienced several times, and outsiders are afraid to go up this mountain. So the grass grows up to the mountain road, but if you look closely, you can still see that the soil here is a little shorter than elsewhere because the soil has been trampled to death. It was already dark, so Laneige patiently explained to Song Jie.
Song Jie wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Hey, is that true?" ”
"How do I know, I, I know the saying, the body is not afraid of shadows." Lanzhi was distracted to answer his question while identifying the road, his feet slipped unconsciously, and the whole person leaned back, and Song Jie hurriedly supported her back in the back. "Be careful, don't fall."
Although this mountain is only a gentle slope, there is no focus except for trees, and if you slide to it, you may have to bump it. Laneige patted his chest, slowed down his pounding heartbeat, and let out a sigh of relief. I looked at the road under my feet more carefully.
The sound of insects crumbling can be heard from time to time in the quiet environment, and wherever Song Jie and the two go, the chirping insects will suddenly stop their sounds, which is quite fun.
Song Jie, who was tired and almost out of breath, had a bit of a sense of self-amusement. Luckily, the two of them finally arrived in the quiet village located halfway up the mountain.
The faint candlelight from the windows of several brick houses warms the surroundings.
"Is there a hotel here?" Song Jie supported his waist with one hand, half-bent over, and asked a somewhat silly question.
Laneige is no different from usual, but his expression is slightly tired, "How can there be a hotel, it was not built when there were many tourists here, we can just find a family to stay." ”
Laneige walked to the nearest house with a candle and reached out and knocked on the wooden door, "Is there anyone?" Spend the night. ”
There was a burst of footsteps inside, but soon it was quiet again, no one answered, and Laneige tapped the door with more force, "Is there anyone?" We wanted to spend the night. ”
After repeating this many times, a voice finally came from inside, "Let's go, we don't take in outsiders at night." ”
"Why?" However, Laneige's question was never answered.
There were more than 20 families in this small village, and the two of them knocked on each other, and none of the dozen or so families with candles opened the door, but they were all driving them away.
Just when the two of them were disheartened and ready to give up, a dark family suddenly opened the door, and a woman came out, the woman seemed to be a little frightened, looking left and right as if she was afraid of something, and beckoned the two of them to hurry up.
Song Jie and the others saw that someone had finally opened the door and hurriedly walked over, and the door was quickly pulled shut after the two entered the house.
The woman stood a little nervously for a long time before she thought of arranging for herself to beckon the people who came in to sit down on the kang.
It was a small room, with a wooden table, four wooden benches, and a large kang as the whole layout of the hut, and there were no candles in the room, only the moonlight shining through the windows, and I could barely see the interior decoration.
"Don't blame everyone, in fact, they all complain about my family, haven't you always been rumored to be haunted in this mountain before, and the people in the village always say that you bumped into something evil at night, which made everyone suspicious, my man didn't believe it, and he went out to see the crops in the evening a few days ago, but he didn't come back for so many days, and everyone was even more scared." The woman wiped away a handful of tears when she said this, "But I'm more afraid of being alone at home, so I think that multiple people will feel more secure." I don't know who came from the saying that opening the door at night will attract unclean things in the house, and now everyone is afraid to open the door at night, what if something really happens. The woman said as she wiped the tears from her eyes with the back of her hand.
Song Jie and Laneige were both a little embarrassed, and in the end, it was Song Jie who broke this strange silence, "Didn't you go looking for it?" ”
"I've found him, but I can't find him anywhere, and I really don't know what to do in the future."
"This ......" Song Jie hesitated for a while, still couldn't think of any good way to comfort her, "Maybe he got lost in this mountain, maybe he met something unclean." ”
"How can you get lost after decades of walking." The woman wiped her face vigorously, as if realizing that she had talked too much to the two outsiders, "Well, how do you sleep, my house is such a big place." ”
Song Jie sat on the wooden chair, his hands folded on the table, "You and Laneige sleep together, I'll just sleep on the table for a night, thank you Ang, take us in." ”
Song Jie clicked on the bracelet and glanced at it, at ten fifty-five, the bracelet still showed no signal, since entering the northern country, the bracelet seems to have only one purpose left, and I don't know if it can block the signal here.
Lanzhi comforted the woman in a low voice, and the two of them lay down on the kang after pulling for a while, and after a while, the surroundings fell into complete silence, Song Jie pillowed on his arm, and the fatigue of lying on the table for a day also made him quickly fall into a deep sleep.
"Ahhh~~Woo~~" In the silent dark night, a strange sound suddenly came from a distance, Song Jie, who was not sleeping very comfortably, frowned, raised his head slightly, rubbed his arm and changed the direction and continued to sleep......
