Chapter 407: Nightmares

"Is there a place to eat around here??" I looked back at Huang Xiaoming and asked.

Huang Xiaoming nodded at me:

"There is a restaurant less than half a mile to the south, but the price is a bit expensive."

"Okay, let's go have a good meal before we leave, and then we have the strength to go into the woods." As I spoke, I asked Huang Xiaoming to lead the way in front and rushed towards the hotel he said.

After lunch, I, Huang Ziming, did not hesitate and set off together towards the primeval forest.

In fact, I hired Huang Ziming as a guide to let him help me guide the way before finding the ancient tomb leyline, and after finding the leyline, his task is considered to be completed, and I will do the rest by myself.

Since I made up my mind to come to the ancient tomb in this primeval forest to find the female corpse, I took the time to learn the feng shui technique of looking at the leylines and finding the ancient tombs in the "Maoshan Taoist Technique", as long as this local guide named Huang Xiaoming can take me to find the location of the leyline on the map, I can follow the leyline to find the ancient tomb!

Along the way, Huang Ziming brought a set of tents and small backpacks with him, and the bags on my back were bulging, and it was a little difficult to walk, but I didn't want to reduce the burden, because when entering this kind of place, it is more reliable to prepare a little more, not to mention that I am alone.

The ever-changing sea in the middle of this primeval forest is more than ever.

After entering the primeval forest, I gradually felt that the trees around me began to grow thicker and denser, and the thatch under my feet became less and less, but the fallen leaves became more and more and thicker, and even when I dug very deep, I could not see the soil, all the dead leaves, walking on it was like walking on a sponge.

At the same time, the air became very humid, and the sky was cloudy, and I don't know if it was rain or fog. For two or three miles, the ground was covered with moss, rotting twigs and leaves, and there was no dirt to be seen. There are many towering trees in front of me, and there are also dead trees that fall to the ground.

Whether it is a living tree, a dead tree, or a rotten wood, it is covered with green moss, and long vines are twisting and turning between them, and Huang Ziming and I are now completely walking through the dense forest of ancient trees......

All kinds of unknown grasses around, wild grapes, soft dates, trays, schisandra, and all kinds of wild fruits hanging on trees, vines, and grass are all kinds of wild fruits, and I take them with my hands and put them in my backpack, which I have done when I need them from time to time.

Huang Ziming, who walked in front of me, opened the way with the firewood knife in his hand, and turned back to me and asked:

"Boss, you be careful not to slip under your feet, don't step on poisonous snakes, and try to step on your feet in the gap between a nest of leaves, or it is easy to break your feet, there is a kind of "tree snake" in this forest piece, the color of its body is similar to the trunk, so it is generally not easy to be found, this kind of snake generally does not take the initiative to attack people, but once it is frightened, it will also hurt people, and this snake is very poisonous, you must be careful......"

While on our way, Huang Ziming and I also found many fresh footprints of bears, wild sheep, wild wolves, and unknown animals, as well as fresh traces of bear-scratched tree trunks around us.

Seeing this, Huang Ziming, who has rich experience in the jungle, immediately took me on a detour.

Huang Ziming, who was walking in front, picked up the bushes with a firewood knife in his hand, and turned back to me and asked:

"By the way, boss, how old are you? I think you're a college student, right? ”

"Twenty." I added more than a year to my age, and then looked at Huang Ziming and continued:

"By the way, Brother Huang, you don't have to call me boss, I sound awkward, you can just call me by my name, my name is Zuo Thirteen."

When Huang Ziming heard my words, he smiled:

"Since you call me big brother, then I'll call you brother, I'm twenty-seven this year." Huang Ziming looked at me and said.

"Okay." I said yes and continued to follow him.

Huang Ziming then asked me:

"I said brother, I looked at the map, it's quite far from here, in the depths of the woods, you're just twenty years old, what are you running there for?"

I smiled:

"For the dream of adventure in my heart." I think this explanation is reasonable for me......

After Huang Ziming heard my words, he looked at me and said:

"Brother, you go on an adventure, but I have to tell you two words, the more you go into this forest, the more strange it is, but there are many beasts and poisonous snakes, don't look at it is autumn now, there are still more, I advise you to come in and walk around, and I will take you out."

I smiled:

"I have made up my mind about this expedition, and I will not give up until I reach my destination."

After Huang Ziming heard my words, he shook his head, didn't say anything more, and continued to take the lead in front.

In this way, we walked one after the other for four or five hours, and only stopped when it was getting dark, and at this time, it was also raining lightly in the sky, and we immediately found a relatively spacious place and began to set up tents.

When I was setting up the tent, Huang Ziming looked at me and asked:

"I said, brother, have you ever been a soldier before?"

"No, what's wrong?" I replied.

After Huang Ziming heard my words, there was obviously a look of surprise on his face, looked at me and said:

"You haven't been a soldier, and your physical strength is no worse than someone like me who goes up and down the mountain so often, and you often exercise?"

I nodded, in response to Huang Ziming's words.

After the tent was set up, I wanted to light a bonfire, but now it's raining and everything is wet. Huang Xiaoming also has a way, he first took a firewood knife and cut a bundle of bamboo, because there is oil in the bamboo, which is easy to ignite, he then cut some wrist-thick branches, and then took out some kerosene and poured it on the bamboo, ignited the bamboo, and then ignited the thick branches, as the saying goes, "wet firewood is afraid of fierce fire" is this truth.

Although there was rain, this light rain did not have much effect on the campfire.

Lighting the bonfire, the two of us began to boil water, bake clothes, and eat.

After eating and drinking, I took the map and discussed with Huang Ziming about tomorrow's plan, and in his words, if we don't have any accidents tomorrow, we will definitely be able to reach the place marked on my map before dark.

That is, the only clue to find that ancient tomb, the ancient tomb feng shui leyline.

After agreeing, the two of us decided to take turns to keep vigil in the tent tonight, Huang Ziming in the first half of the night and me in the second half of the night.

We got into the tent back and forth, I lay down and planned to sleep, in the woods, the light rain blew on the tent, crackling, the bonfire outside also flickered, reflecting the shadows of the branches on the tent, flickering, my hand involuntarily touched the candle dragon and nine phoenixes on the pillow...... I was so tired that the sleepiness finally swept in, I closed my eyes and fell asleep......

In a daze, I dreamed of Bai Ruotong again, and the dream was still exactly the same as last time, Bai Ruotong was tied to the lid of the wooden coffin, tortured......

When I was awakened by the scene in my dream, I sat down in the tent, let out a long breath, patted my head with my hand, and tried to calm myself down, seeing that it was not as simple as I had imagined, and as I got closer and closer to the tomb, the dream ......became more and more frequent.

I thought to myself, and took out the white beads that Bai Ruotong left for me from my backpack and put them in the palm of my hand, looked at it for a while, but there was a melancholy sense of loss and self-blame in my heart, if it weren't for me, Bai Ruotong wouldn't have died...... With a sigh, I put it back in my backpack again.

Glancing at the time on the compass, it was already past one o'clock in the morning, and it should be my turn to keep vigil.

Thinking of this, I put on my clothes and walked out of the tent, at this moment the light rain outside has stopped, the bonfire is still very strong, I glanced towards Huang Ziming's tent, and found that he happened to come out of it.

"Brother Huang, you go to sleep, I'll come and see in the middle of the night." I looked at Huang Ziming and said.

Huang Ziming nodded, handed me the firewood knife in his hand, and then went into the tent to sleep.

……

After nothing happened all night, and at dawn the next day, the two of us packed up our tents, put out the bonfire with earth covers, and rushed in the direction of the feng shui leylines on the map again.

Anyway, this time I must find out what the relationship between Bai Ruotong and the female corpse in the wooden coffin of the ancient tomb is!
