Chapter 11: The Legend of the Grim Reaper
After Yan Chengfu rushed down the mountain, the cold wind in the mountain blew more violently, and after returning to the barracks, he hurried to the battalion commander's dormitory and shouted to the battalion commander who had fallen asleep.
"Who, it's the middle of the night," Yuan Yong was sleeping comfortably, when there was a rush knocking sound outside the door, and he was a little unhappy at first,
Because he hates it most when others disturb his sleep, let alone a veteran, "The battalion commander is me, I am a rich man," Yan Chengfu kept knocking on Yuan Yong's door, as if there was something very urgent,
Yuan Yong rubbed his loose eyeballs, turned off the light after getting up, he shook his spirit and walked towards the door, Yan Chengfu outside the door seemed to be very nervous,
Yuan Yong looked at his whole body suspiciously, he didn't sleep in the middle of the night, he came shirtless without even wearing a shirt, there was no one else outside the door, Yuan Yong opened the door and called Yan Chengfu into the room,
"You'd better give me a good reason, or do me two hundred push-ups," Yuan Yong woke up from his sleepiness and sat quietly at the head of the bed, waiting for the veteran to explain to him what he had done tonight.
"Battalion commander, quickly take someone to the mountain with me, it's too late," Yan Chengfu urged the battalion commander after entering the door, his heart was very anxious, and he urgently urged the battalion commander to take people to the mountain,
"I don't sleep in the middle of the night, what are you doing running up the mountain? Didn't you tell all of you? This is the military region, who will allow you to leave without an order from your superiors," Yuan Yong looked at this veteran with some doubts, an excellent soldier like him would not make such a low-level mistake.
"No, we found out that Xiao Yan has been mysterious recently, he left the military region and ran to the mountains, we found a lot of soldiers' corpses in a room on the mountain, you can take someone with me to take a look," Yan Chengfu explained everything in one breath,
A few moments of running had made his breath catch up, and he took a big gulp of the air around him, and he was still worried about Qiu Shaoqing who was halfway up the mountain, and there was a lot of blood under his feet, and he had to be sent to the hospital immediately.
"What?" Yuan Yong almost didn't squirt out in front of Yan Chengfu, the corpses of many soldiers, the more Yuan Yong thought about it, the more wrong it became, this deep mountain has always been a forbidden area, not to mention that Xiao Yan had just come to the barracks for a short time, how could he do such a thing.
"Are you sure you're looking at the corpse?" He didn't seem to be willing to believe what Yan Chengfu said, after all, this kind of thing can't be talked about, and Xiao Yan is now the person that the chief pays the most attention to.
Xiao Yan once won the boxing championship, and on behalf of their military region, he fought with the soldiers of other military regions, and he did not taste defeat, and the chief had a high degree of appreciation for his ability, but now the news of Xiao Yan's murder came out, if it was true, he really didn't know how to explain it to the chief.
"I'm sure we subdued him when we caught him, and now my other brothers are guarding him," Yan Chengfu said this, his body also stiffened, and he spoke with confidence,
After all, Xiao Yan is also good at kung fu, and it is not easy to catch Xiao Yan, of course, he didn't say their hooligan moves, being able to kick Xiao Yan and shame him is the happiest thing for him.
"Let's go, hurry up, I'll call a few more people to take a look," Yuan Yong stared at Yan Chengfu carefully for a long time, it didn't seem like lying between words, and he immediately got up when he thought of this,
Yuan Yong woke up a dormitory veteran gathered outside, and went to the deep mountains behind the military region with Yan Chengfu to find out, Yan Chengfu reported to Yuan Yong the news of Qiu Shaoqing's injury while walking,
And Yuan Yong also ordered the two soldiers to prepare to send him back to the military hospital, the air in the deep mountains began to become more and more humid, just now it was still a violent wind, and now it is quiet as if nothing happened, Yan Chengfu's heart began to be a little worried, and his eyelids kept beating at this time.
There was a strange noise in the quiet forest, and everyone shivered, and looked towards the place where the noise was, where the grass kept shaking,
It's like a mountain ghost crawling on the ground that has discovered the breath of a human and is gradually approaching in order to enjoy this sweet dinner, "Battalion commander, the atmosphere here doesn't seem right," one of the soldiers felt that the temperature around him was gradually decreasing,
A biting breeze slid through his chest, and he couldn't help but shiver and rub his cold body, even though it was still summer, the cold wind in the mountains did not remain constant due to the hot weather during the day, and the temperature here seemed to be completely different from the outside world.
When the military settled here, the barracks used to be a cemetery, but there was a herd of wild beasts in the mountains, and there is no clear explanation as to why this place was chosen.
When night fell, after the warriors had fallen asleep, they could always hear the faint ghost cry from the deep mountains, and the warriors began to whisper, so rumors spread,
Everyone said that the military dug up the graves of the deceased and made them lonely ghosts, so they wandered in the mountains and could not die, and the military was forced by these rumors to give them the most reasonable explanation is wolf barking, as for the existence of wild wolves, no one knows.
The chief also personally issued an order forbidding the soldiers of the military region to go up the mountain, and violators would be severely punished, and the passage up the mountain was blocked by iron bars, but it was not difficult to cross it.
And tonight, Yuan Yong risked being punished and led everyone into this gloomy area, Yan Chengfu's words made him have to take this risk, if what Yan Chengfu said is true, then the soldiers who disappeared for no reason are likely to be killed by Xiao Yan, but why did the upper echelons say that they accepted a special mission?
Could it be that Xiao Yan is only a small part of the conspiracy, and the real mastermind is actually the top military officials, but who would have such a skill? Thinking of this, Yuan Yong's forehead couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat,
"Don't talk nonsense, keep walking," Yuan Yong didn't understand the frightened looks of the soldiers, and kept thinking about everything that had happened in this month, and the warriors who accepted the mysterious mission disappeared silently,
Even he, the battalion commander, did not receive any notice, which was one of the reasons why Yuan Yong was suspicious, but the secrets between the high-level were not something that he, a small battalion commander, could touch, Yuan Yong quickened his pace and walked towards the mountain.
In the faint fog forest, there was a ghostly shout, and just when Yan Chengfu took everyone to the place where he said Qiu Shaoqing was injured, it was empty, Qiu Shaoqing was gone, and there were only some traces of blood left on the ground.
"Shaoqing, Shaoqing, where are you? Yan Chengfu looked at the traces on the ground, and shouted Qiu Shaoqing's name loudly, and the shouts kept resounding in the deep mountains, and there were bursts of echoes,
When the echo came into everyone's eardrums, there was an indescribable fear, and the sad echo of "Shao Shao Qingqing" seemed to hit everyone's body, shattering everyone's psychological defense line again and again.
"Dafu, don't shout anymore, this voice is weird and scary," the soldiers on the side began to dissuade Yan Chengfu from shouting like this, and Yan Chengfu also realized at this time that the ominous premonition had happened, but he was still unwilling to give up a glimmer of hope.
The mountain ghost hiding in the grass suddenly burst out, "Ah," the warrior whose nerves were shattered to the highest point looked at the black shadow that came out of the grass, and fell to the ground in fright, and the rest of the people were also frightened and retreated,
The frightened crowd flapped their chests, and the black shadow ran quickly towards the mountain, and just when he saw this black shadow clearly, Yuan Yong found a black wild cat, its golden eyes glowing in the dark night.
It is an ancient legend, legend has it that on the night of death, the god of death will be followed by a black cat, but humans can not see the appearance of the god of death, only the black cat that follows behind the god of death,
If there is a black cat, then there will be death here, the hellish god will end the lives of some greedy people, and the god of death will eventually disappear from the scene of the crime, and after the death is gone, the cat will let out a baby-like cry, completing the ancient ritual.
"Get up," looking at the fallen warrior, Yuan Yong looked a little angry, he angrily scolded his uncompetitive subordinates, there was no Qiu Shaoqing around, this really did not match Yan Chengfu's description, but the blood on the ground provided a trace of credibility.
Yuan Yong looked at Yan Chengfu suspiciously, it was a questioning look, Yan Chengfu was really dumb this time and couldn't say what he was suffering from eating Yellow Lotus, Qiu Shaoqing, who obviously said that he was waiting for everyone here, disappeared into this forest, and in desperation, Yan Chengfu only took everyone to the house on the top of the mountain to prove that what he said was true.
