Chapter 14: The Resentful Spirits Dwelling in the Empty Tombs
I really can't imagine how Mu Zihan survived during that time. You must know www.biquge.info that at that time, Mu Zihan couldn't even go to the bank to withdraw money. After all, if he withdrew money from any of the banks or ATMs in Kunming, then Uncle Wang, who was looking for him everywhere, would soon be able to lock down Mu Zihan's location through the banking system. In this way, I believe that it will not be long before a large number of police officers, even Uncle Wang himself, will flock to him.
Moreover, although I heard Mu Zihan say that the matter of speculating the accurate route seems to be quite simple. However, judging from the fact that it took him more than three months to finally determine, it was not easy at all.
"And after that? Did you set off into the mountains after you had only determined the roughly correct route? "I said in disbelief.
After all, although the route was roughly guessed, it was nothing more. You must know that after turning over the Long Worm Mountain, there are almost primitive mountains and forests, and the danger level is unimaginably high for humans who go alone and are not familiar with the specific environment.
What's more, although we now know that the villagers of Snake Village are very kind, Mu Zihan didn't know it at that time, and even he didn't know where this legendary hidden village was. In this situation, which is full of all kinds of unfavorable and unknown conditions, Mu Zihan still ventured into the mountain, which is tantamount to gambling with his own life.
"Or else? Do you have any other good idea? Mu Zihan smiled and said, "Actually, I also want to know as much as possible about that village, so I have been asking around for the past three months. It's a pity that even some local elders only know that this place exists, but they don't know the specific location. ”
As he spoke, he paused before speaking again: "And it's been three months, I don't know if Uncle Wang and they will find here, so I can only gamble." Anyway, when I decided to escape, I had already put my life on the line. Luckily, I won my bet. However, when it comes to it, it all comes down to the help of one person. Or more accurately, the help of a resentful spirit. ”
"A wraith's help?" I asked, puzzled.
Suddenly, I suddenly remembered that when Fang Ling and I first went to Snake Village to find Granny Gui based on the information left by Mu Zihan, I had heard Granny Gui mention a resentful soul living in a grave bag halfway up the mountain of Changworm Mountain, which seemed to have a good relationship with Mu Zihan, and also knew Granny Gui. That time, he helped us report to Granny Gui, and we were able to arrive at Snake Village so easily.
Could it be that he was the same one who helped Mu Zihan in the first place? However, how do I remember that Granny Gui said that Mu Zihan had helped this resentful soul? What happened in between?
However, I don't need to ask, because Mu Zihan has already begun to tell everything that happened at that time.
According to Mu Zihan's account, after he painstakingly determined the most likely route, he resolutely used all the money he had left to prepare some necessary tools and ready-to-eat food for survival in the wild, and embarked on a journey to find a hidden village.
It's just that a few days after setting off, he was lost in the mountains and forests, and after seven turns and eight turns, he found that he had actually turned back to the Long Worm Mountain.
"You didn't have a compass?" I asked in surprise, I don't think Mu Zihan would make such a low-level mistake.
"Of course I brought it, but not long after I crossed the Long Worm Mountain, I encountered a very strange magnetic field interference, and it was useless to be able to do it, and I kept spinning around, and I couldn't indicate the direction at all. Also, there was no cell phone signal, and it was raining for several days, so I couldn't rely on the sun to confirm the direction, so I had to walk by feeling. Mu Zihan smiled bitterly and said, "Everything is as if God is destined to make me lost." ”
"It's a miracle that you didn't die like this." I listened to Mu Zihan's words, and imagined the picture at that time, as if I saw the helplessness and powerlessness he felt when he found that he had actually come back again.
"Don't mention it, I felt like I was really going to die." Mu Zihan also couldn't cry and laugh and said: "However, life is like this, the mountains and rivers are full of doubts, the willows and flowers are bright and there is another village, there is a mistake, if it weren't for this, I wouldn't have met that resentful spirit, so as to know the location of Snake Village thoroughly." ”

When Mu Zihan found that he had actually gone around in a big circle and returned to the same place, and the sky had already darkened, in the cold evening breeze, mixed with a drizzle, he really wanted to cry without tears. The classic lyrics in Andy Lau's "Ice Rain" seem to echo in my mind: "The cold ice rain pats indiscriminately on the face, and the warm tears are mixed with the cold rain......"
In addition to being depressed, he was helpless about the current situation, so he found a place in front of him, set up a tent, prepared to camp, and waited until tomorrow dawn to figure out a way.
Although he was annoyed and impatient, he didn't dare to continue to go deep into the mountains and forests overnight, after all, in the past few days, he had encountered a lot of poisonous insects and beasts, although with his alertness, he finally escaped. However, it also made him deeply understand the horror of this mountain wilderness. Especially at night, there are many, many dangers than during the day.
Of course, his biggest problem at the moment is not the beasts, but the cold rain that is getting heavier and heavier. It is well known that there is dense vegetation growing on the mountain, but it is mostly grass, with little or no trees to provide him with tents and shelter from the rain.
In desperation, he finally aimed at an empty grave on the side of a mountain road, although the tomb was empty, and it was also to avoid the rain, so he had no choice but to do so, but when he shrunk and climbed in, Mu Zihan still felt hairy in his heart. Especially, when he had just climbed inside, and before he could sit down and catch his breath, but found that there was someone inside, he was so frightened that he almost screamed, and he hurriedly retreated out.
"Who are you? No, are you a human or a ghost? What kind of plane? After Mu Zihan exited the tomb, he thought that the person he saw in the tomb just now was deliberately hiding inside to be scary, so he shouted angrily.
"I'm not a human or a ghost, and besides, you broke in suddenly, why is your attitude so bad? I'm still shocked by you. When Mu Zihan's words fell, that "person" slowly emerged from the empty tomb and stood in front of Mu Zihan and complained.
Looking at the somewhat translucent figure in front of him, Mu Zihan suddenly thought of Lao Liu, and guessed that the "person" in front of him should be a resentful soul, so he slowly calmed down. Thinking about it again, it seems that just now it was indeed in order to hide from the rain that he suddenly got into the tomb, so his attitude eased and drank too much, and he smiled awkwardly and said: "I'm sorry, you are the second resentful soul I have ever seen, so I didn't react just now, and I lost my temper." ”
