Chapter 40: The Sacred Tree of the Wild Mountains 1
Chapter 40 Yeling Shenmu I
The mountain roads are rough. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ infoFrom morning to almost afternoon, I couldn't hold on to my feet. It's not that it's blistered or anything. It's really uneven, and the small pebbles protruding from the ground are really uncomfortable.
After resting in place for a while, the fat man suggested that he should hurry to a place with a name for the evening. It seems to be a place where hunters used to rest. We can rest there tonight and then move on tomorrow. But I can't remember what it is. At that time, the fat man spoke too fast, and I was too tired to listen to him anymore. It's Hetao, I've been walking all morning, and I haven't felt much change around me. He Tao said that we had begun to slowly approach the beast's territory. It still made me a little nervous.
Once again, Lan went out to explore the way ahead of us. But after what happened last night, I don't feel much about Lan's disappearance. Who knows if she's going to destroy some clues that will affect my judgment. And then again, I'm not sure why almost every judgment I've ever been made is considered wrong, and Lan has gone out of his way to help me get back on track to get me back on track.
After thinking about it for a while, I felt too tired. I don't bother to think about it. My heart said I admit it, the big deal is to be led by you. I give up, it's time to do it?
Lan went for a long time this time. Starting with a brief rest, we had planned to rest for ten minutes, and then we moved on when someone came. But it's been almost two hours of rest, and I still haven't seen Lan come back.
The fat man also seems to be a little anxious. Climb a tree, stand on a branch, and keep looking in the direction where Lan disappeared. But his mouth was still comforting us, saying that Sister Lan might have found some clues, so she delayed for a while. Or maybe Sister Lan is lost, let's wait for her here for a while, and she will come back after a while.
To be honest, after what Ghostface said last night, my feelings about Lan seem to have changed a bit. Although I was still very worried about her in my heart, I had another thought in my head. That's why I believe Ran can come back.
I waited for almost half an hour. Lan then came out of the grass in front of her. The grass in this mountain is so high that if one wants to drill into it, unless he stands on a high place like a fat man and looks, he really can't see a trace of it.
"Sister Lan, how is it?" The fat man jumped down from the tree and asked Lan as soon as he stood firm.
Ran's face is a little unpretty. I found out when she first emerged from the grass. Orchid's forehead was scratched by the weeds with a shallow blood mark, fine red, looking a bit like the particularly small leeches in the fish pond.
Lan raised his hand and pressed the scratch on his forehead with the back of his hand, and said, "There is a situation." β
As soon as he heard the words "there is a situation", the fat man immediately squatted down and looked around vigilantly: "What is the situation?" β
Lan glanced at the fat man and ignored him. Continued: "There is a particularly large tree in front. Treeβ"
When the fat man heard that it was a tree, he was stunned for a moment, and then straightened up again: "Hey, what did I think the fat man was." Trees? - Hey, it can't be a dryad? β
Lan rolled her eyes slightly and said, "There are a lot of things hanging from the tree. β
My first thought was that the tree bore a lot of fruit. But when you think about it, it doesn't seem right. It's winter, where is the fruit from the tree? And even if there is fruit, it doesn't make sense for Lan to say it. If there is fruit, there is a situation, is Lan hungry? Ran is not the type of person who likes to joke. She is very quiet, so everything she says should be something she has to say.
"Don't interrupt, listen to Lan." I slapped the fat man.
The fat man let out an "oh" and spread his hands: "Sister Lan, you say." β
"There are corpses hanging from the trees." Lan said.
A few of us were stunned when we heard this. The fat man immediately asked, "Huh? Corpse? What corpse? Human? β
He Tao also asked, "Do those corpses have any characteristics?" β
I don't need to say it. The one who wanted to ask had already been asked by the fat man and He Tao.
"I don't know. It's too far away for me to see clearly. Lan said. I lay in ambush around the tree for a long time, trying to see who would hang those things on the tree. But I waited for a long time and didn't see it. I'll be back. β
The fat man smacked his lips and said, "Hey, you haven't seen it clearly, so how do you know that it's a corpse on it?" β
I said, "Nonsense, can't you tell if it's bacon or corn on the cob hanging on the beam of your house?" β
The fat man let out an "oh", scratched his head and did not speak.
"Now there are two ways. One is to go around the confines of the tree and keep going. The other one is to go straight through. Lan said.
I looked at her and asked, "What about the consequences?" β
"If we go around it, our morning journey will be in vain. There may even be more distances. Lan said. If you go straight through, the time can be reduced by a quarter. But there is a chance that you will encounter the thing that hangs the body from the tree. β
The fat man suddenly slapped his thigh: "Hey,! Sister Lan, could this thing with the corpse hanging on the tree be the beast you said in your mouth? β
Lan thought for a moment and nodded, "It's very likely." The last time I saw the beast, it seemed to have done the same. β
I was stunned for a moment and asked, "You've been talking about it for so long." Is this thing a beast or a human? β
Lan looked at me and said, "Almost human." β
Almost human? What the hell is that? I just wanted to continue asking, but Kelan didn't give me a chance: "Choose." β
"What to choose?" I asked.
The fat man patted me on the shoulder: "What to choose?" Choose how to go. Do you still want to choose a girl? β
I froze for a moment and asked, "You guys didn't tell me how good that thing was." How can I seek advantages and avoid disadvantages? β
The fat man reached out and touched my head, but I knocked it off. He didn't care, so he said, "You just have to make a choice." There is a fat man in the aftermath of this kind of problem-oh, Sister Lan is also there. To Sister Lan? β
Lan glanced at the fat man and didn't speak. Instead, he looked at me. It seems that she agrees with the fat man's statement, and now wait for my choice.
I thought about it. If I'm here for a tourist, I wouldn't hesitate to choose the first option. It's safest to get around that tree, but there's not enough time right now. After such a long delay in the past few days, we have not even reached the central part of this mountain range. If you don't hurry up, Inner Mongolia won't be able to eat.
Thinking about it, I gritted my teeth: "Walk through." β
When the fat man heard me make this decision, he was stunned for a few tenths of a second. But he recovered immediately: "Hey, it's the same as what I thought about the fat man." With that, he put on his bag and prepared to move forward. As he walked, he said, "Come on, come on, I'll take the lead this time for the fat man." Just follow along. β
I glanced at Tao and Tao, who shrugged his shoulders, pulled the rope on his hand, and pulled Mike to follow.
"I'm broken." Lan said.
I let out an "oh" and hurriedly followed.
After about an hour and twenty minutes of walking, the trees around us began to become more and more thin. Sparse to sparse, but the radius of the tree began to get larger and larger. By the end, there was almost nothing left in front of us. And in the middle of the open field, I saw what was probably the largest tree I had ever seen in this book. How big is this tree? As we stood in the woods a hundred meters away, we could see the branches and leaves spreading overhead. Now that the sky is covered and the sun is covered, it is winter, and this tree is still bursting with indescribable vitality. The dark green leaves show little sign of withering. And even though we were standing 100 meters away, I could still feel the pressure of the tree on me.
"Look there." The fat man touched me to pull me back to reality, then pointed to the branches crisscrossing overhead.
I looked up in the direction of him, and I was immediately scared into a cold sweat.
I saw countless corpses hanging down from the branches. However, due to the distance, I had no way to see what kind of creature it was. But the level of visual shock is simply amazing. It's like standing under a grape trellis and watching the bunches of grapes hang down from the vines. The corpses I see now are hanging from the trees like grapes. As the mountain breeze blew, some of the corpses even began to shake.
"Thrill, damn thrill." I couldn't help but curse.
The fat man said, "Hey, this doesn't look like we have bacon hanging in our house?" β
I gave him a blank look: "You don't me." You have the ability, and if you have the ability, you will take the lead in moving forward. Lao Tzu is right behind you. β
The fat man went down to the gun hanging on his shoulder, and with a "bang" he pushed the bullet into the load. Then he raised the muzzle of the gun and pointed it at the nearest corpse, took a deep breath, and said, "Hey, let's take a look at one first." In case there is something that can't be provoked here, then I suggest that you retreat quickly, fat man. β
I laughed in my heart and said, "Fat man, you also have times when someone coaxes me?" β
The fat man was stunned: "Hey, what do you mean by confession?" Didn't the ancients say that they retreated in the face of difficulties? β
I rolled my eyes: "But don't you think the ancients still said a word?" β
"What?"
"Advance in the face of difficulties."
The fat man put down the gun and looked at me: "Hey, I said, what's the matter with you little comrade?" Be careful, fat man, I criticize you. β
I waved my hand: "Gotta get it, don't fucking bullshit." If you want to fight, hurry up. Don't fucking grind. β
"Okay, look at you!" The fat man answered, raised the muzzle of the gun and prepared to aim. didn't expect to be pressed down by Lan next to him.
The fat man was stunned for a moment, raised his head and asked Lan, "What's wrong?" Sister Lan, are you afraid of gunshots? β
"Not true. There's something on top of this tree. Lan said. As I spoke, I noticed that Lan's eyes had been staring at the branches above. Seems to have seen something.
I also looked up. While looking at me, I thought, and I said I didn't see anything just now. What's on it? But when you look up, it's amazing. I could vaguely see that there were many dark shadows shaking on the dense branches.
"Holy, what is this?" I lowered my voice and almost screamed.
Above the dense criss-crossing branches, I saw the orderly black shadow walking. And it seems to be two-legged, and it moves.
"I don't know, it looks like a bird." He Tao said. As he spoke, He Tao also reached out and pressed the fat man's gun. Say, "Don't let go of the gun yet." I've never seen any of these birds. In case it is aggressive, you set off a shot and then alarm them. β
The fat man nodded, carefully insuring the gun. Then it was carried on the shoulders again. This is the text: "What now? β
I thought about it, but I really couldn't think of where the intensity of the birds' attacks could go. So he said, "If it's really a bird, the plan won't change." Walk through. Otherwise, we'd have wasted nearly another day and a half. β
The fat man looked at me and frowned: "Oh, little comrade, you have finally grown up." Come, the fat man will award you a little red flower. "As he spoke, the fat man would bend down and take a piece of grass. But when we bent down, we found that not far from our feet was full of white and black bird droppings. The fat man was stunned and scolded in a low voice: "Damn, you birds are really not serious, defecating everywhere." β
He Tao said, "Hey, if it weren't for these bird droppings, this tree probably wouldn't have grown so big." β
Lan suddenly said, "That's not right. We have entered the area where these birds are active. But we didn't smell bird droppings. β
I was stunned, and my heart said that I depend, it seems to be true. As soon as I wanted to say what was going on, I heard the fat man say, "What's all the fuss about?" The farts are still loud and stuffy. β
I didn't bother to talk to him, so I said, "The plan doesn't change." Let's move lightly and walk through. β
Lan nodded, and then looked up at the bird bouncing overhead. Say, "Try to be as gentle as possible and don't make a sound." After speaking, he looked back at the fat man and said, "I have something to say." β
The fat man was a little surprised why Lan had to tell him alone. As soon as I wanted to ask, I interrupted him: "You fucking burn your mother-in-law's mother-in-law, hurry up." Time is tight, don't ink. β
The fat man replied and waved his hand reluctantly: "You have to go, then this time you go first." Fat man, I'm in the back hall. Is this all right? β
I looked at Lan, who nodded and took the lead towards the front. I glanced at He Tao, who had just sealed Mike's mouth, pulled the rope in his hand, and pulled him to follow.
"Let's go." The fat man said.
I nodded, glanced up at the shadow above my head, gritted my teeth, and stepped into the thick guano with one foot. ... Friends who read books, you can search for "", you can find this site as soon as possible.
