"Outflanked, these animals will do this?" The fat man's cold sweat came down. "Fat man, I've finally seen it."

Pan Zi said: "Lao Tzu said a long time ago that these snakes are not normal, these are definitely snake charms, and they are all about to become jīng." ”

Hearing the movement in front of me, the group of snakes seemed to be gradually approaching, but the canopy of the trees was still as if solidified, this sound was like an invisible evil aura pressing towards us, my hair stood up, and asked Pan Zi: "Do you have any earthwork in your hometown to deal with snake charms?" ”

Pan Zi said: "Where can I deal with it, these are all immortals in the old background, I heard my grandfather say that in ancient times, they all sacrificed boys and girls." ”

The fat man said, "Is there anything reliable, where can we go to find a boy and a girl at this time?" ”

Pan Zi said: "Lao Tzu is saying that in ancient times, where are you still encountering this kind of thing in the city in these years, I think it is absolutely not good to fight hard, you see that A-Ning will die at once, let's withdraw, I am the ancestor who fights guerrillas, just play peek-a-boo with them, and see who outflanks whom." As he spoke, he pointed in a direction and asked us to follow him.

I listened to what Pan Zi said, and suddenly something flashed to me, and after taking two steps, I thought about it, grabbed him and said, "Wait, I don't feel right." ”

Panzi looked at me, and I said to them: "There is something strange in this, you think about it, when A-Ning was attacked, he had almost no ability to defend himself, and he died in one fell swoop, in fact, it was too easy for these snakes to kill us, they didn't need to do so many tricks, just huddle in a certain bush, and bite us when we walked by, we had a few lives gone, why do it need to be so complicated." ”

"What do you mean? Illustrate the white point. The fat man asked.

"They have countless opportunities to kill us outside the canyon, but we are all safe and sound, snakes are different from people, they don't make low-level mistakes, these snakes don't use the method of plotting, but now they are engaged in this bluff trick, maybe their purpose does not want our lives."

Pan Zi shook his head and said. "It doesn't make sense, they don't want our lives, so why did they bite Aning to death? Maybe they're tabooing us about something right now. ”

I said, "Do you think there is anything different between A-Ning and us?" ”

The two of them looked at each other, and the fat man was surprised: "Is it because A-Ning is a woman?" ”

I nodded, "It's probably because of this, these snakes are behaving too perversely, we can't speculate on their intentions by the way ordinary animals behave, I don't think this is outflanking at all, they have other more subtle motives behind their actions, and we may fall into an even more incomprehensible situation if we act rashly." ”

The fat man frowned and said, "You have a point in saying that, so what should I do?" Should it be hard fighting? ”

I shook my head and said, "I think we should stop acting rashly and figure out their intentions first, otherwise we will be too passive." ”

The fat man grinned: "You are really innocent, we are not snakes, how can we find out the intentions of snakes?" ”

We can all analyze the intentions of our Taoists, not to mention animals, people often underestimate the intelligence of the other party when they lose in the hands of animals, we should look at these snakes as people, if it is a group of people, when we come in, kill the only woman among us, and then do not kill us, but in this way, keep our nerves tense at all times, what purpose do you think they have?

The three of them fell silent, and the fat man frowned and hesitated: "According to this, are they all female snakes, coveting our beauty?" ”

I said in my heart, you still have the heart to joke, but you find that the fat man is actually thinking about this seriously.

At this time, Pan Zi suddenly took a breath of cold air and said: "Oh, little third master, what you said this time is so reasonable, I seem to know what's going on - have you ever heard of a kind of forest that you can't get out of after you go in?" ”

The fat man said: "You mean the 'ghost forest' in the northeast." ”

"I don't know what to call it, it's called 'akong' in Vietnam, and the forest itself is a very easy place to get lost, but there is a kind of forest, the growth of the trees will be affected by some law, I don't know if it's a coincidence or inevitable, it's particularly easy to get lost, and this kind of forest has a weird saying, it will be disturbed by various sounds inside, and the forest will trap you in it like a living thing." Panzi was a little excited, cut a vine, squeezed out the water in it and drank a few sips, "Speaking locally, the forest has its own mother's own ideas. ”

I know this statement, some people say that it is a manifestation of evolution, that all forests are complex and mysterious, and the more they evolve, the more complex they become, because the forest wants to trap everything that goes into it, to feed it, which is a kind of collective wisdom of the forest.

But I don't believe it, it's too mysterious, and I believe in another theory, which is that some animals drive their prey into an encirclement.

Pan Zi also said: "The current situation may be similar, I feel that these snakes are indeed forcing us to go in one place, and they are correcting our direction. ”

Listening to me, I broke out in a cold sweat, and I thought it was incredible.

If we don't dare to go where there is a sound, and it is impossible to turn back, then we will definitely choose to take a detour, so as long as we make a sound where we are going, we will definitely arrive at a place after a number of detours. When you think about it, it's actually very similar to the invisible walls in the Devil's City.

Pan Zi pointed to the direction where the voice came from: "I know that there is a kind of wolf that will force large prey to death like this, if the prey keeps avoiding the wolf's voice, it will be driven to some desperate situation, such as the edge of a cliff, and then be forced to fall down by the wolf, so once we start to detour, we will be considered a hit."

Saying that, a fierce light appeared in his eyes, and he said to us: "Thanks to the little third master's suspicion, otherwise we would really be unlucky." I said in my heart whether you are praising me or hurting me, and the fat man asked, "What is the good now, can we only go back?" Pan Zi said: "I'm afraid there won't even be a way back, since they blocked the front, they will inevitably block the back, this is called forcing Liangshan, we can only go to meet them, since they don't want to kill us, then sure we or good for them, let's gamble and see if we can rush over." "I originally thought that I could avoid danger all the way and find the third uncle, but at this time it seemed really impossible, Pan Zi proposed to take the initiative to attack, no matter what the other party was, we could not be lured into the trap, and there might be something worse than death waiting for us at that time.

The fat man said that he had already said that he had done this, and that we had to take a detour and waste time.

So we began to prepare, but in this environment, our weapons have almost no effect on self-defense, Panzi's gun cannot be fired continuously, if the first shot misses, it is not as effective as a dagger, and in such visibility, hitting the target can almost only depend on luck.

As soon as the three of them pondered, they made several torches, two with short handles and one with long handles, and ordinary animals were afraid of fire, even if they were large beasts such as dogs and bears, they did not dare to approach rashly when they saw three fires.

And as long as there is this flame to help us deter the other party, then Panzi will have a calm time to shè and change bullets, and he should be able to deal with it when he encounters danger, of course, the real situation will only be known when the time comes.

Pan Zi said that if the other party is a human, he can touch it unknowingly, and his ability to sneak attack in Vietnam is quite powerful, but if it is a snake, it is equivalent to sending him to death, and there is a monster who doesn't know what it is. I don't know if that thing is A-Ning or not, but since the sound is coming from this thing, it must be in front, so we have to try to avoid head-on conflicts, and take passing as the main purpose, and we really can't fight hard.

We got ready, lit the torches, and walked slowly in the direction from which the sound came.

It's actually quite a contradictory thing, in the midnight rainforest, holding a torch is undoubtedly the biggest target, more conspicuous than driving a tank, but all three of us are cats there, as if we are going to sneak up on others, which is a bit like holding a "I'm stupid B, I'm going to peep" sign to break into the women's bathroom.

The sound of rustling was not far from us, only about two or three hundred meters, and all our attention was focused on the surroundings and the sound, listening to the sound getting closer and clearer, and the feeling of the radio noise became more and more obvious, I couldn't help but swallow foam. But even so, we still can't hear what the voice is saying.

Soon, the sound was almost above us, and Pan Zi raised his hand to tell us to stop, and looked up at the ghost-like shadow of the tree overhead, and for a moment I couldn't distinguish it.

Here the moonlight does not shine under the canopy, our torches are not long enough, and the light cannot reach them, only the darkness between the canopies, and the sound comes from it, and it is impossible to paint the whole picture of the tree, anyway, the trees here, the canopy is almost integrated, and I can't tell which one is which.
