Chapter 11: Up the Mountain
When Xiran spoke, her eyes kept staring at Liu Yusheng, hoping to see something on his face. In Xiran's heart, Wu Qian would just fall if nothing happened, and if something happened, the most suspicious person would be this mysterious Uncle Liu. However, Liu Yusheng's expression was shocked, and he seemed to be as surprised by Wu Qiang's disappearance as everyone else, and he didn't seem to have the slightest flaw.
"An Chen, you protect them!" Xi Ran said coldly.
An Chen silently walked to the three girls and stood there quietly, although he was very quiet, but suddenly gave people a feeling of extreme danger, like a leopard about to attack its prey. Liu Yusheng's eyes froze, and he added an extra layer of vigilance to An Chen in his heart. Biting dogs don't bark, and the more taciturn a guy is, the more ruthless he is, and it's definitely not easy to mess with.
"Uncle, you come with me, let's go find Wu Qian." Xiran waved his hand at Liu Yusheng and said.
Liu Yusheng nodded and said, "Okay, the ghost mountain is very dangerous, everyone must help each other and rely on each other." Xiran and I went to find Wu Qian, you should be careful here, you must protect yourself. β
Liu Yusheng did not take his identity as an outsider to heart at all, but gave orders everywhere, as if he was the leader of this expedition group. Xiran frowned and did not speak. Liu Yusheng's posture was high, and before he caught his handle, Xiran didn't want to tear his face rashly.
Liu Yusheng turned a blind eye to Xi Ran's black face like the bottom of a pot, patted him on the shoulder and asked, "In which direction did Wu Qian go?" β
Without a trace, he pushed Liu Yusheng's hand away, pointed to the woods on the left side of the camp and said, "He said that he had a stomachache, and then hurried to the woods." β
"Let's go, let's go in and find out." Liu Yusheng walked into the woods first, hesitated for a moment, and then followed. The two of them walked to the edge of the woods, and suddenly heard Qu Ran screaming behind them: "Ah! β
Xi Ran heard Qu Ranran's scream, like a frightened cat, with a "poof", turned around and rushed back. Seeing this, Liu Yusheng had no choice but to follow. The two ran back to the camp, only to see Qu Ranran with his hands on his waist and said, "You bastard, do you know it's wrong?" Haunted, think you're oo7? It hurt people's feet! You're ......."
The man who was counted down by Qu Ranran is tall and handsome, who else can he be if he is not Wu Qian? I don't know how Wu Qian provoked Qu Ranran, so he lowered his head and let her accuse, without justifying or begging for mercy. When Xiran saw Wu Ran appear, he put down a big stone in his heart, he walked over and pulled Qu Ranran away, and said dissatisfiedly: "What's the matter? Why quarrel? Not afraid of outsiders' jokes? β
The outsider Xi Ran was referring to was naturally Liu Yusheng, who was killed halfway, and when everyone heard him say this, they all looked at Liu Yusheng. Liu Yusheng spread his hands and said, "Yes, if you quarrel like this, I will think you are very naΓ―ve." β
Qu Ranran snorted, turned his head and ignored Liu Yusheng, Xiao Baoer and Youpo glanced at Liu Yusheng, and pulled Qu Ranran aside to comfort him. Xi Ran said casually: "Wu Qian, what's the matter?" Where did you just go? Pack up the camp and don't see you. β
Wu Qian sat on the ground, lowered his head and said no, ignoring Xiran's words. Xiran was very faceless, his face sank and he was about to do it, An Chen saw that this was wrong, and hurriedly grabbed him and said: "Wu Qian didn't go to the woods over there, he came from here, he is not in good spirits, he hasn't spoken since he came, you don't want to be like him." β
Xiran looked at Liu Yusheng, who was sitting in a precarious position, and snorted coldly and said, "Let's go, we have to speed up, just now I used my mobile phone to check the weather forecast, and there may be heavy rainstorms in the next few days." We had to get to the top of the mountain before it rained and then go down as much as we could, otherwise we would probably get caught in the torrential rain. Wait until you get rid of the useless stuff and travel light. β
An Chen nodded, and pulled Wu Qian to clean up his backpack. Xi Ran turned to look at Liu Yusheng, Liu Yusheng smiled and pointed to his backpack, Xi Ran nodded expressionlessly. Liu Yusheng seemed to want to say something, but after hesitating for a while, he didn't say anything.
Wu Qian's expression was blank, and he stumbled when he walked, looking like he had diarrhea and hurt his vitality, which made people can't help but wonder what this thing ate to pull like this? Obviously, that's what An Chen thought, he had been secretly observing Wu Qian, wanting to see what was in his backpack.
Wu Qiang's arm was very stiff, he grabbed his backpack and poured it on the ground, and then he began to clean it up little by little. Most of his backpack was vacuum-packed jerky except for some mountaineering essentials. However, none of these jerky are trademarked, and there is no information such as the name or origin of the product, so it is not known what kind of meat is inside. Wu Qian put back the kettle, spare clothes, moisture-proof mats and other necessities back into his backpack, but he didn't pick up a bag of dried meat on the ground, so he threw it on the ground.
Wu Qian is famous for his love of eating jerky, and since a few people knew each other, he chewed these things all day and night, as if jerky was his life, and he couldn't eat a meal. What's going on now? What kind of nerve to throw away all his favorite jerky? An Chen couldn't help such a cold character, and he asked curiously: "Wu Qian, why did you throw away all the jerky?" β
Wu Qiao's expression was very stiff, he reluctantly squeezed out a smile, laughing was more ugly than crying, and it looked very weird. He said slowly: "Bad, eat, stomach, hurt." β
When he spoke, it seemed that word by word jumped out of his throat, and his voice was a little hoarse, and his tone was very strange. An Chen was puzzled at first, although he pretended to suddenly realize and said, "Oh, you mean that these dried meat are bad?" Stomach ache after eating? Haha, you're so funny, your stomach is pulled like that, and you still have the heart to joke. β
Wu Qian recovered the wooden expression, and staggered towards Xiran and the others with his things on his back. An Chen sneered behind him, but didn't laugh at him again. He was a little unaccustomed to Wu Qiang's pretense, but it was unprecedented to say these words just now, you must know that the principle he has always pursued is to say less and do more.
After An Chen packed up his things, he was about to catch up with Wu Qiang's footsteps, but the moment he passed by the jerky that Wu Qiang threw away, he stopped in a ghostly way.
"This is vacuum packaging, the packaging is not damaged, and it is not expanded, how can the meat be bad?" An Chen picked up a packet of jerky and studied it for a while, then said to himself. He carefully tore open a bag of jerky, pinched a small piece of it and put it in his mouth, squinted and chewed for a while, his eyes slowly widening.
Seeing that there was no one around, An Chen devoured a bag of dried meat, and then put all the vacuum bags on the ground into his bag.
"Neurotic! Such a good jerky is actually said to be bad? If you don't eat it, I'll eat it! An Chen said indignantly.
To be honest, the backpacks of the three girls in the expedition team should have the most things to clean. All kinds of cosmetics, small mirrors, small snacks, magazines, and even a teddy bear. But in the end, they cleaned up the least, and when Xiran wanted to discuss this issue with them, they said eloquently: "Every one of our things is indispensable!" β
Xiran pointed to the teddy bear and said, "What's the use of this thing for climbing mountains?" β
Qu Ran hugged the bear and said proudly: "You will be tired from climbing the mountain, you have to rest when you are tired, and it can accompany me when you rest!" β
Xi Ran wanted to say that in fact, we can also accompany you, but looking at the murderous eyes of the three girls, she didn't dare to say this. The end result, of course, was that he was defeated, and the purpose of the men's backpacks was to share a little more weight for the girls.
The group packed up, and the girls' luggage was distributed to several men, and the number of people was counted again, this time there were a lot. So everyone began to march to the top of the mountain, everyone lined up in a straight line, and Liu Yusheng was arranged by Xiran to open the road at the front. On the surface, it is because the mountain knife in his hand is very sharp, and it is the most suitable for this job, but as for the real reason, of course, it will not be so simple. However, Liu Yusheng agreed without the slightest hesitation, brandishing the machete and working very hard in front.
Xiran followed closely behind Liu Yusheng, with the three girls in the middle, Wu Qian and An Chen. The distance between the seven people is only three meters, and no one can climb too fast, nor can they fall behind, and everyone has to maintain a steady degree. The ghost mountain is too dangerous, and the bobcats are as big as tigers, and no one can say whether there will be other fierce beasts. Three meters is already the lowest warning distance, and once someone has an accident, others will have time to rescue.
Thanks to Liu Yusheng's joining, everyone climbed the mountain much faster than before. The degree to which he opened the way was not covered, and the shrubs, vines, branches, etc., that had bothered Xiran and the others were all turned into debris under his knife.
However, everyone slowly sensed that something was wrong. It's so quiet.
Climbing all the way up, there was no other movement except for the sound of Liu Yusheng cutting down trees. Everyone couldn't even hear each other's footsteps, and if they hadn't turned their heads to see each other, everyone would have thought that they were the only ones on the road. This kind of quiet is definitely not normal, although the ghost mountain is full of dangers, but the environment here is also very pristine, where are the animals that live here? What about the chirping birds that you can see from time to time? Not even a single mosquito that was originally very annoying is missing, and the ghost mountain really lives up to its name.
The three girls were still talking and laughing before, but I don't know when they felt this strange tranquility, and they were all silent. Everyone crawled in this atmosphere for a long time, and suddenly, Liu Yusheng, who opened the road, stood still.
Seeing this, Xi Ran waved his hand and signaled the people behind him to pause, he walked behind Liu Yusheng and asked, "Uncle Liu, what's wrong?" β
Liu Yusheng silently stretched out his finger forward, and a trace of horror flashed in his eyes.
