The two of us immediately moved our hands and feet and started climbing the tree.

The trees here are easy to climb and there are many places to stay, but you need to be careful because the trunks are covered with moss and other plant mud, and it is easy to slip if you don't settle on your feet. If you slip for the first time, you may fall all the way.

We were cautious, one step at a time, as if we were climbing a tree with a mine, and finally climbed to Panzi's side.

The place where Panzi is located is under the top of the canopy, where the branches are relatively sparse, the fog is lighter, this tree is very tall, and the top of the head is the hairy moon in the fog, probably because this is a plateau, the moon is particularly bright, and it can shine so much light through the mist, but the fusion of moonlight and fog still gives people a feeling of hair. In the obscure white light, you can see the trees around you, but you can't see clearly, everything is ambiguous in the fog.

We went up and asked Panzi softly what was the matter, and he said in a very low voice, "There seems to be a person in the tree over there." ”

"Which side?" The fat man asked softly. Pan Zi pointed in one direction and made a gesture: "About 20 meters, on the branches." ”

"How can you see it so dark? Isn't that the little brother? ”

"I couldn't see it at first, but I only found out when it moved just now." Panzi frowned, and made another gesture for the fat man to be quiet. "There's leaves in the way, it doesn't look clear, but it shouldn't be that little brother."

"You're not mistaken, are you in a hurry to see your third master faint?"

Pan Zi didn't have time to pay attention to the fat man's run, and beckoned: "I'm not sure, you can see for yourself!" As he spoke, he pushed aside the dense branches and pointed to the canopy in the distance for us to see.

I only saw a large dense canopy at first sight, my eyes have a little myopia, it's okay in ordinary times, it's easy to be dazzled in such an ambiguous light, so I can't see anything after looking for a long time, the fat man's eyes are sharp, I saw it at once, and said softly: "I'm cāo, there is really a person." ”

Panzi handed me the binoculars, I looked in the direction of the fat man, and sure enough, I saw a shape similar to a human figure in the gap in the canopy, which seemed to be peeking at something, the body shrunk in the canopy, I couldn't see clearly, but I could clearly see the man's hands, full of sludge, and it looked like an animal's claws in the misty moonlight.

Who is it?

I asked, "Could it be the 'Wenjin' we saw in the swamp last night, and the little brother didn't catch her yesterday?" ”

Pan Zi nodded: "It's possible, that's why I let you be quiet, if it's really her, I heard the voice and ran away again." ”

I handed the binoculars to the fat man who was clamoring to see it, and said to Pan Zi: "What to do, if she is really Wenjin, we have to catch her." ”

Pan Zi looked at the surrounding terrain and nodded: "But it's a little difficult, it's more than 20 meters from here to there, if she hears the sound like last night and runs, we can't catch up in this environment, she can't see people after running a few times, the best way is to sneak under the tree and block her in the tree." And we've got to get there as soon as possible—" He looked at the sea of trees on the side. "Now that the fog is about to clear, we can't delay too much time, after catching him, we must hurry to the third master."

I thought about it and said okay, I didn't have time to hesitate, I had to do it first and then talk. Thinking about it, he patted the fat man and tried to pull him down the tree.

The fat man hurriedly waved his hand: "Wait, wait, wait." ”

"Don't look at it, catch her and let you see enough." Panzi shouted softly.

The fat man was still watching, moving while watching, Pan Zi was so anxious that he went up to grab the fat man's telescope and was pushed away by him. "Wait a minute! Wrong! ”

We were stunned for a moment, we all knew that the fat man was sharp-eyed, and he suddenly said this, we can't take it seriously. I exchanged Yan sè with Panzi. At this time, I heard the fat man gasp, put down the telescope and scolded, and immediately gave me the telescope: "Sure enough, look carefully, look at that hand." ”

I hurriedly took it and looked carefully, and the fat man said on the side: "Look at the wrist, behind the leaves, look carefully." ”

I squinted my eyes and looked at the man's wrist, exhausted my eyesight, and sure enough, I saw something, and the moment I saw it, I felt a sigh in my heart as if I realized something, and the next second I understood.

This is Aning's copper coin bracelet!

Because of my previous experience in Devil's Town, and that strange dream, I was extremely impressed with that copper coin bracelet, so even in this light, I was sure that I could never be wrong.

"Dog's." I also took a cool breath.

In this way, this "person" in the tree in the distance turned out to be A-Ning's corpse, and those snakes brought her body here?

Panzi saw that my face had changed, and immediately took the binoculars over, he was not impressed by A-Ning, and after I reminded him, he frowned and tilted his head thoughtfully.

"Dragged through a dense swamp from the entrance and moved to such a tall tree, it's a snake pull race, these snakes are really powerful." The fat man leaned on the branch on the side, chewed his mouth, and pondered: "Why do these snakes seem to be like ants, do you think they are social animals like ants, and there is a snake queen hidden in their snake nest, and these corpses are transported to the snake queen to eat." ”

"What snake thick?" I didn't understand it all at once.

The fat man said, "Haven't you ever dug out an ant's nest?" The queen ant in the ant is responsible for laying eggs, and the ant is responsible for feeding the queen, and I think that's right, it must be the case, and the cockscomb snake here may have the same social deconstruction as ants and bees. There must have been a snake queen in this forest, and these little snakes were born to him. ”

I became more and more puzzled: "It is true that the behavior of these snakes is incomprehensible, but it must be unreasonable for you to guess so, snakes and insects are completely different species, and this possibility is very rare." ”

"I think that's a good guess." The fat man said.

I was noncommittal, I didn't want to continue to discuss this issue, and seeing A-Ning's body again, it was such a scene again, which was very uncomfortable. I can't even imagine what the part hidden in the canopy looks like now, although the fat man has expressed his attitude towards life and death, but what he said at this time still makes me feel a little depressed.

The three of them were silent for a while, and then the fat man said, "Damn what they're doing, obviously the corpse is here, there must be a lot of snakes nearby, we'd better get out of here immediately." ”

"Leave her alone?" I felt a little uncomfortable: "Now that you've found the body, or—"

The fat man shook his head, I don't want to talk about it anymore, this is really not a good idea, we can't afford to provoke any snakes here, and maybe A-Ning doesn't want us to see her now. So he sighed, stopped looking in that direction, and said softly: "Amitabha, yes, I'll shut up." ”

At this time, I found that Pan Zi had not put down the telescope, and I said strangely, I hadn't seen it clearly for so long. When I looked closely, I found that Pan Zi's hands were covered with sweat, and his face was blue.

I was startled and leaned up and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Panzi put down the binoculars, a little strange, shook his head and said to me, "It's nothing."

But it was definitely not a "nothing" expression, and I took the binoculars and looked at it again, but I found that there was really nothing out of the ordinary. I had doubts in my heart, but the fat man had already left the tree. I didn't have time to think about it anymore, so I took one last look in the distance and climbed down with the fat man.

Panzi went down to the tree, and his face had completely returned to normal, and I didn't know what was going on just now, but I found that Panzi was always looking in that direction.

He didn't say it, and I didn't want to ask, I guess he might not be sure, so it's better to leave it at that than to ask it and make himself depressed. The three of them immediately packed their things and put on their backpacks, and Pan Zi corrected the direction and immediately prepared to leave.

Just wanted to go, Panzi looked in that direction again, and suddenly stopped, at this time the fat man also noticed his strangeness, asked him what was wrong, he raised his hand and pointed in that direction, and made a gesture not to speak.

We all stopped, and suddenly we heard a slight human voice coming from the forest in a certain direction around us, Uncle Sissy, as if someone was talking.

Because the forest is very quiet, the sound is extremely abrupt, and the three of us are inexplicable. I was even more in a cold sweat, and when I listened to it, I felt that the intermittent sound seemed to be a woman whispering.

We listened quietly, the sound was high and low, fluctuating, and it seemed to be the sound of the wind blowing through the bushes, but the surrounding branches and leaves were as steady as there was no wind at all, and what made us chill all over our bodies was that the direction of the sound was the direction of A-Ning's corpse.

The fat man scolded softly, "Dog, which play is this, shouldn't that stinky woman really cheat the corpse, and haunt us here." ”

I said it couldn't be, but when I looked around, the demon fog was filled, and the black shadows were coming from, and it was a waste not to be haunted here.

The fat man said, "It's not a ghost, who is talking?" ”

I remembered the "Wenjin" I saw last night, and I said that it wasn't necessarily haunted, and it was possible that this woman was nearby, but last night, she didn't make a sound, so I didn't know if she was a man or a woman.

There is another possibility, that is, the third uncle or his people are nearby, then it is too lucky. But this situation is really weird, the third uncle's should not make this kind of sound, I have encountered too many bizarre things before, at this juncture, I still naturally have an ominous premonition.

I didn't like this feeling, and said to them: "The moonlight here is bleak, the ghost fog is filled, and the demonic spirit is soaring, I think something must happen, let's go quickly, stay for fear of disaster." ”

After that, he asked Pan Zi: "You have been calculating for so long just now, where should we go now?" ”

Pan Zi's face was blue, and he pointed to the direction where the voice came from: "The problem is that the direction we want to go is the direction of the tree." ”

I was stunned for a moment, "Over there?" Are you mistaken? ”

Pan Zi pulled the bolt of the gun, nodded and said, "It's Sun Tzu who made a mistake." The last time I saw smoke was there before the fog started. ”

At this time, the fat man stood up and scolded: "He is a blessing and not a curse, and he can't avoid it, people are blocking our road, and they don't want to let us have a good time, but we are not easy to mess with, let's go, let's figure it out and see what is going on." So saying, he stood up and went over.

I scolded and nodded my back, Pan Zi immediately grabbed him, shook his head and said, "Don't go over, listen carefully to what she is saying?" ”
