Chapter 15: A Different Mountain

"Why are you stunned!" Lu Dachuan shoved a military dagger into my hand.

"You're not in the underworld, are you!?" My eyes were tilted to a few men with guns.

He flew up and kicked me in the ass and said, "Get in your car, and when your life is in jeopardy, you won't talk this bullshit." ”

I rubbed my ass and got into the car, pulling out the dagger he had given me, the cold light glistening.

"Will it work?" Lu Dachuan started the engine.

I said with a bitter face, "No, I can't even make a kitchen knife." ”

"Remember how you used a pencil sharpener when you were a kid?" Liu Peng stretched out his left index finger and clenched his right hand into a fist, imitating the appearance of sharpening a pencil.

I nodded, but didn't understand what he meant.

"When you meet someone who wants your life, you sharpen him like a pencil."

I knew Liu Peng was telling a joke, but I couldn't laugh at all.

"Don't make a fuss, I'm driving, put the knife away."

The convoy entered the valley in one stop. Through the car window, I could see that the scenery outside was still picturesque, and I couldn't imagine what danger was waiting for us.

As we went deeper, the car bumped more and more. I couldn't sit still at all, my butt was jumping high on the saddle, my chest was rolling, and my internal organs were about to be misaligned.

Dizzy, I don't know how far I have gone, Lu Dachuan finally stopped the car. I pushed the car door open and threw up. Lu Keqin patted me on the back and gave me a bottle of water when I was done. I almost rolled out of the car and sat on the ground for a long time and felt like the world was spinning.

They all looked at me and smiled. Liu Peng pointed at me and said: "This kid is also a strange flower, the first time he came to the plateau, he didn't have altitude sickness at all, but he became this bear after a few bumps in the car." ”

I was so tired that I could only let them speak.

After a while, I realized that a boulder was lying in the middle of the valley, and there was not enough width on either side, so we had to walk the rest of the way. Let's go, I don't want to take the car anyway.

Since we didn't know how far away our destination was, we had to bring all our gear with us. In order to take care of me, they wanted to share my share, and I insisted on carrying it myself.

The mountains on both sides gradually steepened over the boulders blocking the cars, and the road under your feet became more and more difficult to walk, and in some places you even had to crawl to get through. That's when I realized what a real wilderness adventure was, and I could only be considered a tourist before.

After walking for about an hour, Lu Dachuan, who led the team, suddenly shouted: "Look! ”

"What?" I straightened up, gasping for breath and asked.

"A different mountain!"

To be honest, I was too tired to forget about it.

"It's time to get there!" I sat on the ground, relaxed for one second, but not at all the next.

No wonder the boy said that we would know when we got to the place, that this mountain was indeed different from the surrounding mountains, not only the vegetation on the mountain was surprisingly dense, but the entire hillside seemed to be covered with a layer of smoke as far as the eye could see, in short, there was an indescribable weirdness. What made me feel even more uncomfortable was that I faintly felt a cold breath coming from the other side of the mountain.

Everyone was sitting on the ground, but when they saw this, they stood up one by one, clenching the weapons in their hands, looking like they were ready to fight. Maybe it was because of their infection, or maybe it was an instinctive reaction, I also subconsciously pulled out the dagger that Lu Dachuan gave me to defend myself. In fact, we were still a few hundred meters away from the mountain at this time.

"Huzi and Lao Liu are on guard on both sides, Liu Peng, you go to the end of the team. Everyone cheered up. Lu Dachuan took the lead and walked towards the mountain.

I took two steps to catch up with Lu Dachuan and asked, "This mountain is the same as the boy said, but why does Zha Wang live alone on such a strange mountain?" Was he really demon-possessed? ”

"Don't be cranky and scare yourself. I guess there are two possibilities: one is that he wanted to avoid everyone; The second is that he had been to this mountain before the accident......"

"You're saying that the root of the strange thing that happened to him is on this mountain!?"

"Quite possibly. If my guess is correct, he came with the guy from the inn, and when they got back, they both had an accident, the difference was that one died, and the other became like that. ”

After understanding what Lu Dachuan meant, my mood became excited.

The distance of a few hundred meters is not far, and it is not at all as easy as I imagined, and the beads of sweat the size of beans keep pouring out of my forehead, flowing down my cheeks, wiping a handful and a handful, I know what sweating is.

When I finally reached the front of the mountain, I couldn't help but scream when I looked up the mountain, and through the dense trunks of the trees, everywhere I could see was a mess of bones.

For a moment, the ranks were in disarray.

Just when I had no master, a thunderous shout sounded in my ears: "Don't panic, these are the remains of animals!" ”

Lu Dachuan was still bold, he stabilized everyone's almost out-of-control emotions, climbed up the hill in a few steps, and picked up a skull with two long horns under the nearest tree for everyone to see.

I remembered that I had seen photos of animals endemic to the plateau when I was collecting information before departure, and recognized that Lu Dachuan was holding the skull of a rock sheep in his hand, and my heart was no longer so terrifying.

"Doesn't the rock sheep live in forestless mountains? The forest is so dense here, how can so many of them die here? ”

"They're all hunted."

"Didn't a reserve be established a long time ago to ban hunting?"

"It's not a human, it's a wolf." Lu Dachuan showed me the marks of wolf fangs on the bones.

"With so many bones, how big the wolves are!" Looking at the countless bones near and far, my tail bones cramped, and I felt like I wanted to pee.

When I heard about wolves, I was scared like this, not that I was less timid than a woman, but that when I was a child, I often heard adults talk about the cunning and cruelty of wolves. Because there are wolves in the mountains around my house, it is not uncommon for them to come to the village, especially in winter, when they are not careful in the early morning or at dusk.

Of course, the wolves did not come into the village to visit, they could not find food in the mountains, and they came to the village very hungry to find something to eat. I have a deep impression of wolves and children, as well as pigs and cannibalism. It is said that if the wolf keeps an eye on the child of that family, it will quietly lurk in the hidden corner of the courtyard, or sneak into the yard to hide, and when the child is supervised by an adult, it will remain silent, and once the child is out of the sight of the adult, it will jump out and grab the child's ass and quickly run back to the mountain. If you want to say that this is nothing, avoid adults and other children can even think of a smarter pig can think of that is wrong, the wolf's cunning is in this butt egg, it can grasp the strength just right, neither biting the child (the coefficient of the child not hurting and crying will naturally be reduced a lot.) You can also take the child away; As for holding a pig, it is a unique skill of a wolf, a wolf can take away a big pig weighing hundreds of pounds, do you believe it? If it weren't for seeing it with their own eyes, I don't think anyone would have believed it. Of course, this kind of thing will not happen now, now almost every household in the countryside has a high courtyard wall, a strong big iron gate, it was not like this before, low earthen courtyard walls, fence gates nailed with wooden sticks and planks, and even many people have no courtyard walls in their yards at all, and in the dead of night, a big hole is carved out of the wolf fence door (this link without a courtyard wall is saved.) Then he went into the yard, jumped into the pigsty, drove the pig out of the pigsty by himself, and then grabbed one of the pig's ears, and the big tail on the buttocks kept beating the pig's body in the back, and then the pig and the wolf kissed side by side like a brother wolf, and the wolf went to that pig and the pig went as fast as the wolf went; And if the wolf is staring at a lone person, it will come behind the person quietly, stand upright and put two paws on the person's shoulder, and when the person turns his head to look behind him, it will bite the person's throat, and if the person who reacts slowly does not turn his head, it will also pat the person's shoulder with its paws to make the person turn his head...... This trick is the most creepy, who hasn't had a friend or two who love to sneak up behind people and do a little prank on the shoulder, or cover people's eyes......

When I was a child, these rumors about wolves appeared in my mind, thinking about these terrible things, I stood motionless, Lu Dachuan thought I was scared stupid, reached out and patted me on the shoulder, my mother screamed, startling everyone.

Lu Dachuan scolded: "Can you not be surprised!?" Do you want to scare people to death or what? ”

"You're going to scare people to death, why do you pat people on the shoulder!?" I'm full of grievances.

"I see you're scared silly, it's a mistake to call you!"

With a sad face, I pointed to the forest in front of me and said, "We have come to the wolf's rice bowl, can we not be afraid!" ”

Lu Dachuan gently knocked the mutton bone in his hand on the tree, and the bone was immediately broken into several sections: "See, what does it mean that the bones have weathered like this, it means that the wolf has abandoned this rice bowl for many years, otherwise such a big pile of corpses and bones would not stink people to death!" ”

I inhaled hard through my nose, and besides, I didn't feel good for all my senses when I arrived at this mountain, but I didn't smell the strong smell of corpse decay.

Lu Dachuan gave me a big roll of the eyes: "Fuck! With such force, I really suspect that your nose has been kicked by a donkey! ”

When I was not familiar with them, I was quite reserved, but now that I am familiar with them, I know that their group of people are hearty people, and I immediately replied: "Your nose is the one that let the donkey kick!" ”

Lu Dachuan looked at everyone with a smile and said, "Aha! This kid has a lot of skills! ”

Everyone was amused by us, hahaha. I laughed too. We had a few arguments, and before we knew it, the tension was eased.

"Dachuan, no matter how you say it, this place is also weird, let's hurry up and find the way up the mountain!"

I looked at the voice, and it was Liu Fashan who spoke. He, Cai Zhengdong, Zhang Xiaohu and others were standing under a tree not far to our left.

"But what about Sister Qin?" I thought in my heart and turned my neck to look for Lu Keqin in the crowd, it didn't matter what I saw, my heart almost jumped out of my throat. At the foot of the hillside, more than a dozen big wolves with blood-red tongues walked towards us in a fan-like manner, and the nearest was at most five meters away from where Lu Keqin and Lin Xian'er were standing......
