My heart said that it was broken, and I was busy looking around, but it was not everywhere, and I panicked, and my heart said what was going on, in this wilderness, could it be that the corpse could not be deceitful, and I hurriedly called the fat man and Panzi to see.

The two of them were stupid when they saw it, and the fat man scolded: "Dog, who did it??" "We all looked around, we don't know how many times we did this action, we were all confused.

However, there was silence all around, i.e., no one was heard, and no beasts were heard. I immediately felt a wave of fear coming, there must be no other people in the ancient city of the Queen Mother of the West, and there are no footprints of wild beasts near this sleeping bag, we all know that there is no way to move this corpse, is it really a fraudulent corpse?

Thinking of the mysterious dream before, I couldn't help but have a dry throat, and my heart said Could it be that the nightmare will come true?

The fat man and Pan Zi had seen the world in the end, and they did not panic at this time, but immediately squatted down and rummaged through the sleeping bag to see what the situation was.

As soon as the sleeping bag was opened, Pan Zi gasped again, and saw that the sleeping bag was full of mud marks that snakes had crawled on, and all under the sleeping bag were messy, obviously there were a lot of snakes crawling here? I touched it, it was slimy, and the marks were very new, apparently from what I had just left.

The fat man's face changed greatly, and he was surprised: "I'm cāo, could it be that kind of snake that moved the corpse away?" ”。

Pan Zi obviously didn't believe it, "This is impossible, how can a snake take away such a heavy corpse?" ”。 But his face also changed, and apparently the traces here indicate that the fat man was right.

I couldn't speak, if this was true, this thing was too evil, I had always had a special fear of the pheasant's neck, on the one hand because of its poison, and on the other hand, about the gods of this snake? The legend of the god, in many, many legends, this snake's behavior is very perverse, what impresses me the most is that this snake's revenge method is very weird, but they actually moved A-Ning's body away, which is really unbelievable.

"Of course one can't do it, but if you don't look at how many there are now, the elephants will all carry them away." The fat man opened the entire sleeping bag, only to see that there were snake marks underneath, and the area where the sleeping bag went into the water turned into a piece of mud, and he didn't pay attention to the light problem just now.

"But what do these snakes want corpses for?" Pan Zi said again, looking at the fat man. Indeed, Anin's corpse obviously cannot be used as food, and snakes are not clawed animals, so it is very difficult to open the sleeping bag and transport a corpse. Snakes are not ants, so why do they want corpses?

"Then you're going to fucking ask the snake." The fat man paused and said: "But the snake is a very utilitarian thing, it is not always for fun, there must be a reason, I didn't expect this girl to be stable when she died, but it is in line with her xìng character." ”

I thought about it, and my mood was depressed, the series of things just now, each of which had no beginning or end, and all of them were confusing, it felt so bad, thinking that it was a little out of control, and my heart said how could I be bullied by a snake, so I picked up the miner's lamp and said to them: "It's only a few minutes since we come and go, this corpse must still be around, let's go find it." ”

Before he could stand up, he stopped Pan Zi: "Find a jiba, hundreds of snakes, you are looking for death." ”

"But! She can't be buried in a serpent's den. ”

The fat man snatched my miner's lamp back, and Pan Zi patted me on the shoulder, "Little Third Master, you have to think about it, people are human beings when they are alive, and they are just a thing when they die, it's just a stinky skin, it's impossible for us to bring this woman back, this is also her own choice of destination, and she can't fight for a corpse." ”

The fat man also said: "That's it, dead is dead, where to die is not dead, but if I am also hung up by the fat man, you will burn me, don't go around these snakes, the ghost knows what they want corpses for." ”

I was deflated when I heard this, sat down on the ground, scratched my scalp, and felt very uncomfortable.

The fat man looked at those traces and said, "The snakes here are really evil, how many snakes do you want to move a corpse?" If you want to say a hundred, you think there are so many here, how many of these snakes will there be in this whole forest? Let's stay here, I'm afraid it's not wise, if they come back, I'm afraid the three of us won't be able to resist for a few minutes, and when the time comes, we will run into A-Ning, and we will be laughed at by that stinky girl again. ”

Actually, I don't feel so scared, I didn't bite us when we fell asleep just now. Pan Zi said: "Lao Tzu has also encountered a lot of snakes in Vietnam, and he has been bitten two or three times, and he is familiar with snakes. ”

When I heard this, I knew that it was a word of comfort, and my heart said that whoever believed, I knew that he didn't believe it himself. It's okay to say that ordinary snakes look evil, not good.

I put the miner's lamp in the place I originally wanted to put it, looking at the empty sleeping bag, my heart was very sour, but the fat man adjusted the direction of all my miner's lamps, shining on the water surface around me, saying that I wanted to take a look.

The fat man's behavior made me immediately worry about the stuffy oil bottle, this guy won't have an accident, if it's in the ancient tomb, I won't be worried, because that's where he is familiar with the road, but like the fat man said, snakes are unreasonable, bite and die, you don't have a problem with him.

We totaled it again, and we didn't know what to do, so we had to continue to wait for the stuffy oil bottle, which must have been too much to sleep this night, and the three of us were back to back, looking at the night in all directions.

At this time, it was not too early, only a little later the day dawned, and with the light of the morning, the depression that lasted for a night was reduced a lot, and we relaxed a little, but the stuffy oil bottle did not come back.

We re-examined the swamp, it was not as scary as it was at night, but the rain stopped, there was no sound of rain, only the sound of running water was left around, and it was still quiet. The rainforest in the distance was pitch black, and whether it was dawn or not seemed to have nothing to do with the world deep in the rainforest.

Seeing that there was no news from the stuffy oil bottle, I began to get anxious again, I rarely had this feeling of losing someone at any time, but now I felt that people here could die at any time, probably because of A-Ning's death, which broke some of my preconceived feelings.

Although Panzi and the fat man are also a little worried, they are much better than me, and the fat man is the worst to hang up, leaving me speechless.

We ate something, Pan Zi went back to the mouth of the canyon, picked up some branches and came back to dry, and made a bonfire to make a pile of coals.

I asked him what he wanted to do, he said that we have passed the canyon, the basic situation is known, the time has passed a few days, the third uncle if there is no accident, should immediately arrive at the mouth of the canyon, although there was a light rain here yesterday, but the Gobi outside has been basking in the sun for several days, and now the surface of the river does not know whether it is there, he wants to make a signal smoke here, on the one hand, mark our location, let the third uncle know that we have entered and the route we entered, second, come, You can also tell the third uncle about the situation here, so that they can improve their jǐngti.

After Pan Zi finished speaking, he took out a yellow pill-like thing from his bag and threw it into the charcoal pile, and soon a thick smoke rose, and he told me that this was a signal smoke for help when he was shipwrecked, and he asked a comrade-in-arms who was still in the army to get the paratrooper military goods, just a few balls can smoke for three or four hours.

Can I tell the third uncle that there are poisonous snakes in this canyon?

Pan Zi shook his head, saying that the smoke of different Yan sè represents different meanings, but they are all simple meanings, this yellow sè represents that there is danger ahead, we must move forward carefully, more complex communication, and he can only find a way to convey the past after the third uncle sees the smoke and gives us an echo, the third uncle They are located on higher terrain than us, it should be easy to see, we must always pay attention to the direction of the exit of the canyon, or whether there is a signal smoke response on the four walls.

This is a very effective long-distance communication method, I watched the smoke rise in the air, and suddenly had a sense of security in my heart, if the third uncle arrived and met us, then things would be much easier, they were strong, I think at least I could sleep at night.

Panzi added a cigarette ball every two hours, after the first cigarette went out, there was no echo, and the stuffy oil bottle did not come back, we didn't care, until the afternoon, the second smoke ball burned about halfway, and suddenly the fat man shouted: "There is, there is!" There is an echo! ”

I was bored looking at the sky, and immediately jumped up and looked towards the cliff with Panzi, but I didn't find it at first. The fat man yelled, "Over there, over there! ”

I turned around a few times, only to see a puff of smoke rising from a distance, floating into the sky, the smoke turned out to be red, at first glance, like a huge cockscomb snake, coming out from under the canopy of trees far away.

I cheered, and I wanted to laugh, but the smile was only halfway through when it suddenly froze, and almost at the same time as the cheers, I immediately realized that something was wrong.

Because the place where the smoke rises is not outside the canyon at all, but in the basin where we are, in the depths of this swamp.
