Chapter 17: Searching for Someone Alone

"This ...... What is this? I clung to the tree behind me, overwhelmed, "This ...... Is this a ghost call? This ghost is too fierce, isn't it? "I quickly looked around to see if there was anyone or something nearby. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoBut because the flash of the mobile phone was turned off, the moon overhead was just obscured by the clouds, and the surroundings were in darkness, and the trees a meter or two away were almost impossible to see. This darkness is suffocating me.

I stood there for a long time, and my heart slowly calmed down. I said to myself that it was useless to be scared in this environment now, and that if I continued to be afraid, I would probably have a nervous breakdown. No one here can help me, so I can only walk out of the road on my own and find Fat Bao and Amin.

I took a deep breath and patted my face with both hands to lift my spirits. That's when I realized that my forehead and cheeks were covered in sweat, and when I patted it like this, sweat dripped down my face like rain. I wiped the sweat from my forehead and walked over to pick up my phone.

The other end of the phone had already hung up, and I looked at the caller ID, and the caller ID was actually blank, and there was no number at all. My heart shook again, "Could it really be that the woman who was hanged sixteen years ago called me and asked me to hurry up and get here?" We might have bothered her? It seems that this is really not the place we should be. I shook my head vigorously, "I'm an atheist, don't think about the man who died sixteen years ago." The most important thing now is to find Fat Treasure and Amin, and then get out of here. "I was about to turn on the flash of my phone, and the phone went out of battery with two beeps, and then it turned off automatically.

"Holy! Make a movie! I said, "Every time it's important, there's no power." This is true of Fat Bao's mobile phone, and so is my mobile phone. Next time, you must buy a power bank. ”

At this time, the clouds blocking the moon were blown away, and the moonlight shone down from the new. At this time, although it was still dark ahead, the outline of the large tree could be seen at least two or three meters away.

At this time, although I was afraid, my brain could already think about things, and it was not full of fear like just now.

I started to wonder what the hell this place was. At this time, I noticed that there was no longer the sound of running water, and there were no pine trees around, but lychee trees. Am I far away from Shoto Villa? According to the flying man Bolt's 200-meter run of 19.93 seconds, I ran at all my strength for about six or seven minutes before stopping, so it was three or four kilometers. But I certainly won't be that fast all the time, and I'm not the fastest flyer in the world. Counting the error and the potential for people to explode in order to survive, it is probably two or three kilometers. According to the pace of a normal person, it takes about twelve or thirteen minutes to walk one kilometer, and if it takes twenty or thirty minutes to walk back to the same place, it is really far away. I have to admire how powerful the potential of people is.

What now? Do you want to go back the way you came? I don't want to go back to that haunted house, and besides, didn't that ghost call tell me to get out? You might still meet that doll when you go back! Thinking of this, goosebumps all over my body rose again, and my heart, which had been calm, began to be afraid again. But the most important thing is that I just ran towards my land, the trees here are almost the same, I don't know where they are, how can I go back the way I came?

After thinking about it, I decided that it would be better to return. If you go deeper, you don't know where you're going. I don't know where I came, but I go in the direction I came from.

As soon as I said go, I immediately set off. The lychee trees here are so large that they require several adults to hold them hand in hand, and they also grow so thick that the moonlight looks even dimmer in the shade. I walked for about twenty or thirty minutes according to my biological clock, but it was still dark all around, and I couldn't see the shadow of the Songtao Courtyard or hear the sound of running water.

"Did I miscalculate?" I thought to myself, "Or is it because people feel that time flies so slowly when they're scared, and now it's possible to walk for only about ten minutes?" ”

I made an estimate, and after walking for another twenty or thirty minutes, there were still lychee trees around, and there was no artificial light in sight. The more I walked, the more panicked I became, I had only been running for six or seven minutes just now, and now I had been walking for almost an hour, so I would have to go out if I was normal. I tried to turn on the phone, but it turned off automatically because of the lack of power in the middle of the opening, and after trying a few times, there was no response at all when I pressed the on/off button.

"Oops!" I said, "After an hour of blind walking, I can't figure out the direction even more!" ”

I was overwhelmed as I looked at the dark forest, when I suddenly heard a very light musical instrument, which could only be barely heard in the dead silence of the forest except for the sound of insects. It's a bit like the sound of a guitar, but not quite like it, it's supposed to be a plucked instrument, but not like the stiffness of a guitar, but softer and more pleasant. It's kind of like the sound of a guzheng. But it only rang once, and it was hard to tell what the instrument was. I wondered if I was having auditory hallucinations due to overstress.

There was no room for me to think about it, for immediately after a flash to the left, I immediately looked to the left, and saw a light in the distance, and I was overjoyed, and I was about to shout in that direction, when suddenly it stopped, and I found that the light was very strange. It wasn't the divergent white light of a mobile phone flash, nor the dim yellow light of the road, nor the blue light of a patrol security guard's flashlight. It was an orange-yellow light, and the light was shaking slightly, not artificially, but with the wind. I looked closely, and saw that it was a torch, and a man with a torch was facing away from me. The man was wearing a black cloak that covered the man's entire body. I could only see that it was the outline of a person, and I couldn't tell whether it was a man or a woman. The man was all in the cloak, even the hand holding the torch, and the section at the end of the torch was hidden in the cloak.

"This person lit a torch in the forest, does he want to burn Baiyun Mountain?" I thought to myself. There are many trees in the forest, and many branches hang down, so if the torch ignites the branches, it will cause a forest fire.

In the middle of the night, a man wearing a cloak and a torch appeared in the forest, which I thought was quite strange. And what happened in the Songtao Courtyard just now, I still have palpitations, so I don't dare to call that person rashly.

The man turned to look at me, and I quickly sought out the nearest lychee tree to hide. Although it was dark on my side, I was also worried that I would be seen by him. I poked my head out from behind the tree and peeked over there, and although the man had torches, the light was limited after all, and I was far away from him, and he was wearing a black cloak, so the man turned his head and couldn't see his face, only that it was pitch black. Then the man picked up the torch and began to walk forward.

Ghosts don't walk around with torches, do they? That's what I thought at the time. It could be someone who went up to the mountains to collect medicine, poached or stole something. But at least I feel that it is a person, and it is possible to return to the road with him.

So I followed the man slowly behind, trying not to make a sound.

I followed the man for almost an hour. Since I was far away from the person, I was afraid of losing it, so I tried to speed up my pace a few times to close the distance. But no matter how I quickened my pace, I felt that the distance between me and that person still hadn't changed, and I hadn't narrowed a little closer. But I could clearly see that the man's advance had not increased, and although his feet were covered by his cloak, it was only at the pace of his usual walking. And my pace was already quite fast, and I was almost running, so I didn't run for fear that I would be found out if I ran too much. But the distance between us doesn't feel like it's getting closer.

I panicked and thought, "Isn't it going to happen to those unclean things again?" "I proudly told Fei Bao this morning that I am a materialist, have no faith, and do not believe in ghosts and gods. It's kind of ridiculous to think about it now. No faith? But I believe that materialism is not faith? Don't believe in ghosts and gods? I have encountered so many terrible things today, even if I don't believe in God, should I believe in ghosts? Now that guy in front of me is a little weird, I think of the ghost.

I wondered if I should continue to follow along, because the pace of walking was so weird. It was as if I was not in the same dimension as the man, even if I accelerated and slowed down, he seemed to be about the same distance from me, and the most important thing was that he always walked at an even pace. The more I thought about it, the more scared I became. But the torch in his hand was the only source of light here besides the moon. If there is no other light source, it is difficult to even walk, let alone find an exit.

As I pondered the question, my pace slowed down. When I came back to my senses, the man with the torch was gone. It was bizarre, but my attention was drawn to something else entirely.

I saw light on the hillside in the distance, but I couldn't see the light source because it was behind the hillside. The light was dim, but it was wide. It wasn't the light of a torch, for there was light in the area behind the hillside.

I am overjoyed in my heart, have I walked out of Baiyun Mountain now? But this is still a forest in the vicinity, and there are no tall buildings in sight. I wondered, is there an urban village in front of Guangzhou? If it was an urban village, it would be miserable, and I might have walked out of Baiyun Mountain in other places. Although Baiyun Mountain is not a tall mountain, it is the first peak in Guangzhou after all, and the range is quite wide. If you want to go back to the West Gate, it may take a long time, and there is no car to sit in the middle of the night, so you can only walk, so if you want to go back to the West Gate, you may have to go to the Year of the Monkey.

I ran to the dimly glowing hillside in the distance. Tonight's toss made me quite tired, so the pace was relatively slow. Usually it takes a minute or two to trot, but I ran for three or four minutes. Finally, when I came to the small hillside, I realized that this was a hillside, and if I looked at it from below, it was a high mountain.

Below is the basin, lit up, and in the basin there is a huge village, and from a high point there are endless houses. I thought to myself: When did there ever be such a big village near Baiyun Mountain?

What made me even more strange was that the village was lit not by electric lights, but by torches! Isn't there electricity here? Are there any villages in Guangzhou that don't have electricity? It's weird.
