After Scarface finished speaking, I looked vigilantly at the old woods, the sudden departure of the wild dog pack was indeed a bit abnormal, at the beginning it was still desperate to rush up, one by one, the feeling was to kill the two of us, and then have a good meal, with that shaking, they all ran away all at once.

What caused the shaking just now?

I stepped on it hard, the old forest was on the mountain, this mountain did not know how many years it existed, it was so strong that it could make a mountain shake, and I couldn't think of a third possibility other than earthquakes and volcanoes.

Could it be an avalanche, probably not, I looked up, and although there was white snow at the top of the mountain, the thickness was not at all up to the level of an avalanche.

I scratched at my hair with some chagrin, and threw the dry branches of the ground into the fire, which could not be extinguished, not only to deal with wild beasts, but also to ward off the cold.

"Don't move."

I heard Scarface's low shout, and then his body was shortened, I sat there and didn't dare to move, did he find something, or was there a more powerful beast appearing, my fingers subconsciously began to touch the crutch gun in the bag.

"There's a man squatting in the old woods behind you."

Scarface's voice sounded again, and the next moment he jumped up and shot directly into the old forest behind me, I was startled, he said that someone was squatting there, I looked at it a few times, and I didn't find it, Scarface shot directly, it shouldn't be a joke.

I jumped up from the ground, picked up my crutch gun and rushed over, I was not slow, Scarface had already rushed into the woods, I saw him standing there, in front of him there was a stake, which was a small section of the tree that had been cut down, and there was a piece of clothing on top of the stake.

This dress is basically the same as what we are wearing, "It's weird, I can't even wear clothes when I'm in a hurry." ”

"Don't move."

I was about to pick up the garment to see if there was anything to ask, but Scarface stopped me, his expression was a little serious, and I saw his left hand raised, motioning for me to step back.

I took two steps back as he was told and stopped, Scarface picked up a stick from the ground, then crouched down, the stick reached underneath, and slammed it upwards.

Click, I heard a crunch, something felt broken, and that thing was brittle, "Get down." I heard Scarface's shouts and quickly lay on the ground.

With a whew, a huge black shadow flew over my head, and I lay there without daring to move, feeling a cold wind blowing on my neck, and after a few minutes, I dared to get up from the ground.

It was actually a large log that fell on it with a vine, and the distance from the ground was less than half a meter high, and if I stood there at that time, it would be equivalent to being directly hit by that big log.

The thing fell from a great place and smashed on a person, and it was dead and useless.

"Grass, this is someone trying to harm the two of us." This should be a mechanism arranged in advance, there are many beasts in the old forest, although hunting is prohibited now, but for the sake of money, there are a lot of people who secretly come to this kind of place to poach, and the guns are strictly controlled, not that you can get it if you have money, so now it is all secret hunting, that is, traps, sleeves or poison.

"Not necessarily, this thing is likely to be used against wild beasts, but such a big guy has a dark heart." Scarface walked over and patted the big piece of wood.

With the scar's face slapped so much, there was a bang, the big wood actually cracked from the middle, this time it was a little sudden, because it was suspended in the air with a tree vine, there was no crack, the texture of the wood grown in this cold weather must be harder than that in the south, so the best furniture is made of wood from the old forests of the Northeast, and many of the wood from the old forests of the Northeast have grown for decades or even hundreds of years. The resulting furniture is not only strong, but also has a more uniform texture in cold conditions.

Scarface took a step back with his gun, I walked over, there was a huge crack in the middle of the wood, this thing doesn't look like it was naturally formed, could it be man-made, since it is used to set traps to smash beasts, there is no need to be so troublesome.

"Do you want to open it and have a look?" Scarface looked at me, and I nodded, first, there was nothing to do, and second, I wondered if there was something hidden in this large piece of wood that was as thick as a person.

Scarface pulled out his dagger, and as he swung it, the vines on it broke off, and the thick piece of wood fell from above, tumbling a few times and getting stuck by the protruding stone below.

I walked down with Scarface, the crack growing bigger and bigger as the rough log hit the ground as it fell, and I could almost shove my hand in, there must be something in it, I winked at Scarface, and then one grabbed one end and started pushing it down.

Rough wood was really pushed away by the two of us, "How can there be dead people!" "Scarface has seen the world, crawling through the pile of dead people, and at that moment he was just surprised, and there was no fear.

There were really dead people in there, they shouldn't have been dead for long, they were wearing almost exactly the same clothes as us, I stood there and didn't speak, could it be, was this really a trap, if so, why did you make a piece of wood with an empty middle, and then put a dead person in it, it was more like a coffin hanging on a tree.

Many people may ask, why do people hang coffins on trees, the customs of a place are different, most of the Chinese like to bury people in the ground, but also depends on the burial place Feng Shui, some places are different, such as Mongolia, where people die they are thrown there, the meat on the corpse is eaten by wolves or eagles, which is related to local beliefs, thinking that in this way, the soul will become cleaner.

There are also places where people are buried in caves, and coffins are hanging outside, and some are caves hundreds of meters high, which are very steep, and even now it is shocking to see it, how exactly in ancient times this was done.

I have heard people say that in some places, the dead are hung directly on the tree, thinking that it is the instruction of God, so when outsiders go in, they will see the bones of the tree, and they will feel particularly scary, and the locals do not think anything at all.

We examined it closely, and Scarface frowned, "This person should have been dead for no more than a day." ”

"One day!"

I suddenly remembered the two people who disappeared in Lao Linzi, that is, the two guys sent out by Jin Ye to explore the way, I only heard two screams before and after, and there was no one at all when we rushed over.

I looked at the corpse lying in the wood, and it looked a little like it, mainly the clothes on the body, this kind of gray-black one-piece cotton jacket is very common, but the dogskin hat we wore on our heads had a large cover on it, which must have been specially designed.

"This person should be one of the two people sent out by Jin Ye before."

"Are you sure?"

Scarface looked at me, he should have guessed this, just wanted to get a more accurate answer from me, I nodded, "He's wearing exactly the same clothes as we are." ”

"Yes, actually, when I first opened it, I thought this guy was a little familiar, but I didn't expect it to be our people, since it was eaten by a wild beast, how could it run here!"

I can't figure this out, I hollowed out the middle of the whole big wood and made a coffin, and then put the dead in it, and finally used the vine to rise, and actually made a mechanism, this must have been done by a man, if anyone said that it was done by the beast of the old forest, it can only be said that the beast became a spirit.

"Where did that guy go?"

At this time, Scarface and I remembered that we saw the person who had been squatting on it, and the two of us looked back, only to find that the gray-black clothes that had fallen on the stake were gone.

"Grass, hell."

Scarface scolded, it is indeed evil, it happened right under the noses of the two of us, and there was no sound at all, I glanced left and right, even the top of the big tree, nothing,

If the person crouching on it is spying on the two of us, then the position he chose is incomprehensible, we rushed up very quickly, and with the experience in the mountains of Scarface, it can be concluded that the person was squatting in front of the mechanism just now, and when the two of us rushed up, he took off his clothes, and then turned on the mechanism, just waiting for us to get the clothes, and then trigger the mechanism.

Such an ingenious design, even a human may not be able to think of it, let alone a beast, whether it is a wolf, a tiger, a leopard or other beast, there is no way to do it, it must be a human.

So, who is this person? Did he stuff that body in? If so, was he nearby when that scream happened? Who else is there in this mysterious old forest besides us?

My mind was full of questions, but unfortunately, there was no way to find answers, so Scarface and I closed the coffin made of logs and sat down on the ground next to me to rest.

"What's next?" I asked, looking at Scarface.

He looked up and looked inside, "Go into the mountain and look for Jin Ye and them, I don't believe that Jin Ye left us here, something must have happened, just like what happened to us today, what happened to us, so I didn't notify the two of us to leave." ”

"I hope so."

I sighed, the taste of abandonment was indeed unpleasant, as if a boulder had been blocked in my heart, and I sat there, and suddenly I noticed that a shadow hung down from above, gradually leaping over me and Scarface's shadow.

I pointed with my finger, Scarface picked up the shotgun, I signaled him not to shoot in a hurry, the shadow that just now was a little strange, the shadow was very wide, and there was no head and limbs in sight, even if this was an old forest, it was impossible to have such a big beast.

I turned around quickly, there was nothing behind me, I don't know when, a large black cloud rose in the sky, like a black wave of water kept surging, and quickly pressed towards us.

It was frighteningly dark, and those clouds were very low, as if they contained amazing energy, "Oh no, the white-haired wind is coming." ”
