It was already noon the next day, and I struggled to sit up from the kang, my head hurting like it was about to crack, and I couldn't remember how I had slept here.

The fat man next to me also woke up, rubbed his temples and said to me, "I drank all the pieces yesterday, and now I don't remember anything." ”

I scared him and said, "You drank too much, took Yue'er's hand, and teased others, you don't remember." ”

As soon as I finished speaking, Yue'er happened to walk into the house, the fat man was so frightened that he hurriedly put on the quilt and pretended to sleep, Yue'er stood on the edge of the kang and urged us to say: "What time are you still sleeping, and you are not a pig, get up for lunch." ”

I asked Yue'er, "Did you sleep well yesterday, are you used to living there?"

Yue'er said in a very flat tone; "It's all right, it's just the paper used when I go to the toilet, and it turns out to be sun-dried corn leaves, and my ass is really sinful."

When the fat man heard Yue'er's words, he kicked off the quilt and muttered: "Girl, you dare to say anything, and you don't know how to be ashamed." ”

When Yue'er heard this, she immediately showed a posture of wanting to quarrel, and I hurriedly mediated and said, "Let's hurry up!" The fellows are in a hurry. Yue'er, you go out first and wait, and we'll change our clothes and go out. ”

After hearing this, Yue'er pouted unhappily and said, "You two hurry up." After saying that, he glared at the fat man, and then turned around and walked out of the house.

After lunch, the fat man insisted on going into the mountains to hunt hares, and the leper said to him, "It's dark here and it's early, so let's get up early tomorrow and go again!" ”

The fat man disagreed, and shouted loudly: "I grew up playing in the forest here, and I know where there are trees and animals, and I am familiar with it as much as my own backyard." Just give me a shotgun, just get a hound, don't worry, just wait for fresh rabbit meat! ”

As soon as Yue'er heard that she was going up the mountain to catch rabbits, she ran into the house with a cigarette and put on her bag, hugged Xiao Yue'er, and had to go with her. Seeing that the leper couldn't stop the fat man, he had no choice but to turn around and go into the house to get a bottle of sorghum wine, stuff it into Yue'er's bag and say to us: "The cold wind is biting on the mountain, and drinking strong wine can warm up and drive away the cold." ”

The three of us got ready and went into the mountains to hunt. In fact, I said that I went into the mountains to hunt, and I didn't have the mentality of definitely catching the prey, but I just wanted to revisit the mountains and rivers of my hometown and breathe the unique breath of the mountains full of trees, which is the most rare living oxygen in the city.

On the way up the mountain, the leper gave the little beagle he had found, and he began to cough intermittently after walking a few steps. Yue'er looked at the skinny and wilted hound and said worriedly, "Will it cough up its lungs?" Can it hunt like this? ”

As soon as Yue'er's words fell, she saw the little beagle running like an arrow off the string, running quickly towards the woods in front of her. Xiao Yue'er even broke free from Yue'er's embrace, followed closely behind the flower hound, and disappeared without a trace while jumping. The fat man and I knew that Hua Xiao Puppy had found prey, so we hurriedly carried our shotguns, and just about to chase after them, we saw Yue'er beside me, flying on one foot and stepping on the tree, and disappeared into the forest in front of us. The fat man and I were stunned for a moment when we saw Yue'er's neat skills, and then we pulled out our legs and chased after them.

As a result, the two of us ran non-stop breathless for a long time and didn't catch up with Yue'er in front. I stood on my feet panting, holding on to the tree with one hand, bending over and panting heavily, and said in admiration: "I didn't see it, Miss Yue'er's skills are so good." ”

The fat man was also a little gasped, and replied to me: "Yes, the little girl can even fly on the grass." No wonder her father said that she had been practicing in the mountains since she was a child, and it seems that this matter is true. ”

I straightened up, picked up my shotgun and said, "We have to chase after it, the forest is too big, she is not familiar with it, and she will get lost, and when it gets dark, it will be difficult to find someone." ”

The fat old god said, "I can feel this forest with my eyes closed." You just put your heart in your stomach, and you can't lose it with me. ”

As a result, it wasn't long before the fat man and I miraculously got lost in the woods. At this time, the sky was already as dark as the bottom of the pot, and it happened that it was still a hairy moon tonight (hazy moonlight, as if there was hair on the moon). The dark and dim woods, the branches with teeth and claws, look particularly treacherous and cautious. The fat man and I carried a windproof glass-covered kerosene lamp and shouted Yue'er's name while blindly shuttling through the woods. As a result, there was not even a single bird call around. We don't know how long we searched for the black light in this inaccessible old forest, but we were too tired to walk, so we sat down under the tree and rested against a big tree.

I complained to the fat man and said, "Aren't you able to find your way with your eyes closed?" What's wilting now? You're pointing out a clear way home! ”

The fat man scratched his head and said depressedly: "It's really evil, I've been looking for the traces of fallen leaves and broken branches, how to walk, there is no way, and I don't know the current direction at all, and I don't know what place this is." ”

I was just about to count him a few more words, when the fat man suddenly pointed behind me and said, "Lao Zheng, look there, is there light?" ”

I turned my head to look behind me, and there was indeed a faint light flickering not far away, and I said to the fat man: "It must be Yue'er, she can't find the two of us, so she lit a fire and told us her place." With that, we hurried to the firelight.

But after running for a long time, we couldn't get to the place where the fire was lit.

The fat man asked me in horror: "The distance of the light is not very far, why can't I run to the place, it can't be that I encountered a ghost hitting the wall!" ”

I also muttered in my heart, it stands to reason that after running for so long, I should have run to the place a long time ago, could it be that in this dark and densely planted woods, I encountered ghosts. Thinking of this, I picked up my shotgun and shot at the fire not far away, and as a result, the fire flickered and disappeared.

My scalp exploded all at once, and it seemed that in this desolate and lonely forest, I really encountered something dirty. It must be because we both have peach wood amulets on them, and they don't dare to approach lightly.

Seeing this, the fat man slapped his thigh and said, "It's over, it seems that Yue'er may have encountered an accident, we have to find her quickly." ”

Worried that something would happen to Yue'er, we began to run around the dense forest like headless flies, shouting Yue'er's name anxiously as we ran. I don't know how long we ran wildly in the woods, until we exhausted the last of our strength and sat down on the grass with weak legs. I waved my hand reluctantly, panting for breath, and said to the fat man intermittently, "Rest for a while, I can't do it." Then he was directly in a large font shape, lying on the ground, motionless.

At the moment when I lay down, the fat man next to me suddenly shouted: "Yue'er, it's Yue'er." Hearing that it was Yue'er, I straightened up my upper body and looked in the direction of the fat man's shouting. Not far away, there was a woman's back, exactly the same as Yue'er. When the fat man and I saw that Yue'er had been found, we immediately stood up happily and walked behind Yue'er with a gun.

The fat man said to Yue'er's back dissatisfiedly: "Little girl, didn't you hear it?" Why not look back? ”

Yue'er in front of her stood standing firmly, and when she heard our question, she didn't react at all. I thought to myself: she wouldn't be stupid because she was alone in this desolate and dark forest, would she? Thinking of this, I walked in front of her with some worry. In the dim moonlight, Yue'er's face couldn't be seen clearly, so the fat man raised the windproof kerosene lamp, and the light just hit Yue'er's face. As a result, we were so frightened that we fell backwards in unison with a "Mom", and then we didn't wake up.

When I woke up, I found myself in a bottomless cave. The kerosene lamp was thrown several meters away, lying miserably on the ground, the glass cover shattered to the ground, and the wick was blown from side to side by the wind, glowing with a faint yellowish light, no different from not being lit.

I found the fat man lying next to me and hurriedly asked him, "Are you alright?" Did you get hurt from a fall? ”

The fat man was shocked and said, "His grandmother's scared Lao Tzu to death." What the hell is the moon that I saw just now, I saw the hair on my face, and I didn't see what it was. ”

I got up, walked up to the kerosene lamp that was still breathing, lifted it carefully, and then blamed the fat man with dissatisfaction, saying, "You didn't even see clearly, so you fell backwards in fright, and pulled me down with you." ”

The fat man said with an indignant face: "It's not that I'm so scared that I can't stand firm, it's that the ghost thing pushed me, and I fell down." That thing is definitely not Yue'er pretending. With blood-red eyes and yellow hair, I didn't even see it have a nose and mouth, and it looked like an old demon in the mountains. Looking at its terrifying face up close, I almost didn't let it scare me. ”

I said to the fat man: "In the deep mountains and old forests, there may be some spirits, but we two unlucky people met them." I don't think it's good to stay here, so let's see if I can climb up and get out of here. ”

With less than five seconds to go, we both gave up on the idea of climbing up. The pit we fell from was too high above the ground, and we were lucky that we didn't fall to our deaths just now. Standing low and looking up, the hole is only the size of a bowl, we don't have any climbing tools now, and there is absolutely no way to climb up and leave empty-handed, unless we become birdmen and have wings.

I looked up at the hopeless hole and said helplessly, "Let's look and see if there is any other way out." ”

We turned around and walked to the other side of the cave, and the fat man asked me worriedly, "This can't be a place for youkai to store food, right?" ”

I said to him, "You have a lot of imagination, don't scare yourself there, you've never heard of monsters: people are scary, scared to death." What is more terrible than the human heart! ”

After walking more than a dozen steps, I found an underpass in front of me. Carrying the kerosene lamp that was still shining, I stepped into the passage and explored the way ahead.

Suddenly, the fat man behind me slammed into my back and smashed a hard shot, causing me to fall directly to the ground.

I was smashed by the butt of a fat man's rifle and grinned in pain, and I lay on the ground and scolded him: "Dead fatty, why are you beating me?" ”

The fat man squatted next to me, and said to me with a trembling voice: "Old Zheng, just now, you had a thing lying on your back, a big black lump, and you turned your head and winked at me, I was so scared that I didn't shoot you directly." ”

I got up from the ground, stood up, rubbed my aching shoulder, and said, "I don't feel anything at all." "But, with the fat man's frightened look and stumbling tone, I absolutely believe that there was something unusual on my back just now, but I didn't notice it.

With this terrible experience, we continued to move on in fear, when suddenly the kerosene lamp flickered twice and went out without warning. Immediately after, I felt a big furry tail, sweeping my cheeks in the dark, frightened me to hold the fat man's hand, run forward with my legs, and ran out more than ten feet away in one breath without a head, then I stopped to catch my breath, patted my frightened heart with my hand, and asked the fat man next to me in a trembling voice: "Fat man, did you feel it just now, there is a ghost thing full of hair around you." ”

The fat man next to me didn't answer me, and in the silence of the darkness, I only heard my own heartbeat.

I suddenly realized that something was wrong, it didn't seem to be a fat man in my hand, and I couldn't help but be shocked, who was the person next to me?
