Chapter 1 Enter Shennongjia

On that day, a whirring wind blew in Beiping City, as if wailing and crying. The people on the streets are eager to take refuge in the comfort of their homes, and the unique desolation of autumn invades everyone, and they can't help but feel a chill. The sand and dust in the sky almost wanted to cover the high blue sky, and it looked gray. In the distance, scattered dead branches were broken by the wind, accidentally smashing into the body of some unlucky ghost, causing a burst of curses.

In such weather, Pang Qinghe, who has changed into a strong suit, is like a bamboo stick that provokes our upper and lower eyelids, forcing our eyes to light up. Such a woman, even if she has thousands of appearances, it is not an exaggeration.

Five large off-road vehicles came, one of them was full of equipment, and the fat man requisitioned a car and carried the seven of us to follow the large army and quickly leave Beiping City and get on the main road.

After a full 12-hour drive, a group entered the Hubei Province, and after four hours of difficult narrow paths, they finally arrived in Baokang County. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, the big head decided to drive straight into the car until the entrance marked on the map for a while, waiting for the local place to meet with Pang Qinghe, and then immediately entered the mountain.

Taro is quite excited about this destination, it is understood that Shennongjia is named after Shennong's family in this wooden ladder, picking herbs, saving people from the sick. Therefore, he was hopeful that he would be able to obtain the rest of the dozen or so pieces of yellow paper here.

Also excited was Xiu'er, as soon as the car stopped, she took the lead in running out of the car, greedily breathing in the incomparably fresh air of the primeval forest, I saw her like that, I couldn't help but quip, "After you stay in the forest for a few more days, see if you will feel like this." ”

"Look down on people, I won't get tired of staying in this kind of air for a long time."

The place where the convoy stopped was close to the forest area, the surrounding area was deserted, there was a lot of open space, and at the end of the whole day, everyone only ate some dry food in the car, and they were all hungry and wanted to eat at the moment, so Pang Qinghe's subordinates began to make a fire to cook in the open space, and the fat man also went over to help.

There were a total of eight people on our side on this trip, Pang Qinghe brought ten people over, and with her, the whole team had a total of nineteen people. It had been decided before coming here, and the identity of the team leader was taken by the big head, and she had no opinion. Although her buddies don't know us guys. But fortunately, I still listened to her, since I decided that the big head was the leader, all aspects along the way were very harmonious.

After communicating along the way, I also got to know more or less about those people. The oldest and most capable person among the ten people is a middle-aged man named Amu, with capable short hair, meticulous eyes, and a clean and neat style of doing things, which makes me feel good, and makes me feel that he is not the kind of flashy and cautious character. Leaving Amu behind, the remaining nine people are all young people around twenty-five years old, and their names are not clear, but they are good brothers who have cooperated with Amu for several years, and they can be trusted in all aspects.

After we finished lighting the fire, it was late, it was a capable middle-aged man in his fifties, that look, at first glance, he was very sleek, and he knew how to behave and deal with things.

According to Pang Qinghe, the surname of this place is Xu, the locals call him Xu Lao Ghost, he used to be a farmer, with more and more people coming to the forest area to do various things, he decisively gave up his profession, with his understanding of the forest, he became a land companion, and this job has been done for decades, quite sophisticated. In addition, none of the ground companions found by the team that took over here could come back safely, and now, he is the only one who dares to take the task and enter the forest.

Speaking of which, basically if we want to take fewer detours in such a large primeval forest, we will probably have to rely on him, so we are polite when we speak.

Fortunately, Xu Lao Ghost doesn't have any fights, and it is estimated that he is also a self-familiar character like the fat man, and soon the two got along well, and they got along well with everyone.

Everyone ate and drank around the bonfire in the night, and listened to the old ghost tell all kinds of interesting stories about the people he had brought in, and there was laughter and laughter for a while. But this old ghost is really a smart man, although he talks nonsense with us, but he never asks us a word about what we are here to do. Come to think of it, many years of experience in accompanying the ground have allowed him to see through it at a glance, and this team of nearly twenty people is definitely not so simple as coming to play.

Time flies quickly in the fun, and in the blink of an eye, the first light of dawn is cast on the earth, and the big head nods to Pang Qinghe to indicate that it is time to enter the forest area.

Pang Qinghe said to Amu, and Amu clapped his palms, "It's time to work." ”

All the guys who had been sleeping lightly woke up immediately when they heard the sound, and walked towards the equipment car, each carrying a bag, and several of us also carried our own bags, and a group of people packed up and followed behind the old ghost.

But the old ghost cleared his throat, lit a cigarette, and said solemnly, "First of all, thank you for your hospitality last night, but from now on, I hope that everyone must strictly follow the path I lead, don't scatter, don't take the initiative." This primeval forest has a history of thousands of years, and no one or any team has ever been able to complete the journey, not only because of the large area, but also because of the endless dangers in it. Presumably, each of you wants to enter safely and return home safely. Isn't it? ”

"Yes!" This burst of high-pitched answers made us really look like we were here for a tourist, and we were just short of a flag.

The excess weight on the back, Amu's gang didn't show any inconvenience, I and the monkey taro were a little uncomfortable, and the distance between them gradually dropped from everyone when they walked, and the black fat man and the big-headed smoker walked smoothly, and even Xiu'er was able to keep up without panting at all, and I was a little ashamed, and I smiled bitterly at the monkey. Xiu'er stopped in front and beckoned to me, "Follow me." ”

This section of the road that has just entered the forest area may be because of the frequent walking, there are all kinds of food bags and wrappers in modern society everywhere, and the trees on both sides are getting taller and taller as we go inside.

After walking like this for about three hours, the old ghost stopped and let everyone rest, our original expectation was that it would take at least two days to reach the highest peak, so we were not in a hurry at this moment, as soon as I heard the rest, I hurriedly threw the hiking bag to the ground, panting for breath, Xiu'er saw this, and quickly took out a square towel to help me wipe my sweat, the fat man saw it on the side, and couldn't help but joke, "Xiu'er, take care of mosquitoes so much, how bad the impact is." ”

Pang Qinghe raised his head when he heard the voice, and his ponytail shook up, "What's not good, Xiu'er girl, this is called knowing how to hurt people, you bachelors have no happiness at all." ”

I don't know when the two women began to call each other sisters.

"That's right, Sister Qinghe is right, I take care of my husband, you can be greedy for fat."

"Haha," this remark immediately caused laughter, and the fat man shouted embarrassedly, "You two women deal with me together, I don't quarrel with you, I can't quarrel." ”

The smoker smiled and handed over a cigarette, "Come, smoke a cigarette, extinguish the fire." ”

Xiu'er and Qinghe watched the fat man eat and smiled happily, but Xiu'er's smile was simple, but Qinghe's was a rare smile left after the vicissitudes of life.

"Guys, your steps are fast, at present we are almost to the area that ordinary tourists will not touch, when you get there, the most important thing to watch out for is the poisonous insects under your feet, it is best to buckle all the trouser legs to prevent insects from crawling down your trouser legs and sucking your blood."

As soon as the words fell, the two women immediately did so, and we also buttoned up our trouser legs, and the rest was almost over, and we moved forward again. Sure enough, as he walked further in, the traces of his predecessors became fainter and fainter, and after a while, there were no more, and the big head held a map and a compass in his hand to confirm that the direction was correct, and then continued to bury his head in the road.

After advancing for more than an hour, Kuroko, who was walking side by side with the old ghost, suddenly stopped without warning, and somehow, as soon as I saw Kuroko's unusual behavior, I was frightened, and I also quickly ran over, only to see a series of huge footprints on the ground.
