Chapter 182: The weirdest mountain path
I didn't expect there to be a path! Xiao Lei once again let me appreciate his outstanding ability, and it is his extraordinary ability to resolve the great dangers we encounter again and again, without him, maybe Sister Li and I would have died several times.
This path is hidden in the bushes, and it is only about half a meter wide, and within more than ten meters of the beginning of the path, both sides are covered with dense shrubs, and the upper side is covered with layers of green moss, which shows that no one has passed through here for a long time, but for some reason, after walking more than ten meters along this path, there is no longer a shrub on both sides of the path, but all of them are cliffs like knives and axes, and on this path, there are no plants, all of them have become dense gravel, as if someone has just paved it.
When I looked inside, I found that not far away, this sheep intestine path suddenly seemed to be cut off by a mountain, and it was impossible to continue to move forward, like the end of a dead end. But when we reached that "end", we found that this trail was just a turn there, and it was not "truncated" by the mountain at all.
Every short walk, there will be such a bend, and just like that, the path winds its way into the depths of the mountain in an extremely hidden way, like a crack in the mountain.
Walking inside, we seem to be walking in the gap between the mountains, very depressed, but also a great fear, we know that as long as we drop a stone from the peaks on both sides, we can't hide in either side at all, we can only be stoned to death. If this kind of sneak attack happens, even the Great Luo Immortal will not be able to dodge.
Fortunately, the road was safe, although the gravel on the road was a bit awkward, but we still moved forward as fast as we could, firstly, we wanted to reach the crack as soon as possible, and on the other hand, we were still worried that if something fell on it, we would be miserable.
In this way, after walking wildly for about thirty or forty minutes, I suddenly felt that the peaks on both sides were much lower, but the path did not widen, and after we passed through a long bush, we found that the exit of this path was hidden not far from the crack, in a hidden corner of the mountain wall, because outside the exit, there was a large bush block, and this mouth was extremely narrow and hidden, we did not find it.
Just as we were feeling extremely happy after we came out, the three of us suddenly found that Du Hongmei, who was at the back, was unusually pale, trembling a little, and had an extremely frightened expression.
"Hongmei, what's wrong with you? Did you encounter something terrible on the way? But didn't you call us? Because Xiao Lei and Hongmei are the most familiar, he asks many questions directly.
Hongmei is still a little frightened, she seems to be trying to control her feelings, it is the first time we have seen Hongmei so panicked, of course, it is also the first time to see her so frightened, we all know that her courage and guts are by no means inferior to any man, how could she suddenly be afraid of being like this. I don't know if I didn't hear Xiao Lei's words clearly, or I didn't want to answer, in short, Du Hongmei didn't speak, but her chest fell together, panting rapidly.
But we didn't ask her any more questions, and we didn't go to the crack right away. Instead, he sat on a big rock next to him, wanting to catch his breath first, because he was already very tired from such a hurry, and at the same time wanted to calm Hongmei's feelings.
Hongmei still didn't say a word, and found a stone, and sat next to us, her eyes in a daze, as if she was thinking about something. After a long while, Hongmei gradually returned to normalcy and let out a long breath.
Xiao Lei saw that she was in a much better state, so she persevered and asked the question just now, this time Hongmei should have heard Xiao Lei's question clearly, but she didn't answer immediately, but suddenly closed her eyes and shook her head in pain, as if this question triggered her terrible memories. After a pause, Hongmei plucked up a bit of courage before she spoke, but she still didn't answer directly, but asked us a question: "Do you think this road is strange?" ”
The three of us were stunned by her rhetorical question, and we were a little confused: to say that this road is a bit strange, of course it is a little strange that there is such a crooked "gap" in the mountains, and it is through the mountains, and it is so secretive.
However, on the other hand, there are many incredible things in nature, and in fact, this trail is also a normal geographical phenomenon, and it is not so strange that it is incomprehensible.
At least, we feel that Du Hongmei's question lacks logic, and for a while, we don't know how to answer it.
Hongmei looked at us with a little dazed expression, and realized that the question just now was a little unclear, so she immediately explained: "I mean, do you think there is a strange phenomenon in the path between the peaks? ”
"Strange phenomenon? What's so strange about it? I just think that this road is really miraculous in terms of geographical features, and it is amazing that there will be such a uniform crack that 'crosses' the mountain." Xiao Lei still answered a little unclear.
Hongmei shook her head after listening to Xiao Lei's answer, she felt that we should not have noticed what she said "strange", so she didn't waste time asking us, but directly said her amazing discovery: "When I entered the valley, I found that the trail was covered with moss at the beginning of more than ten meters, and there were plants on both sides of the road, and when I continued to walk inside, there was no moss on the road, or any other plants, and the stones seemed to be very new, as if they had just been paved." ”
Hearing Hongmei say this, the three of us all nodded, although it was a little weird, but we couldn't tell what was strange about it.
Our IQ, in front of Hongmei, suddenly became zero, the more she said, the more we were a little confused, I was a little embarrassed to ask Hongmei: "I have also noticed this phenomenon, but I really don't feel it, what is strange about these?" ”
Sister Li next to her seemed to say thoughtfully: "I seem to know what Hongmei means - judging from the entrance part of this trail, the thick layer of moss, no one should have walked this trail for a long time, but why is there no moss and other plants growing on the road surface further in, not only do not there grow any plants, but even the gravel pavement is so new, as if someone has just paved it." Hongmei is saying that this phenomenon is a bit weird, right? ”
After listening to Sister Li's interpretation, Hongmei's eyes lit up, and it seemed that Sister Li's reasoning was in her arms. Subsequently, Hongmei went on to explain: "Sister Li is so right, I just feel that this is very strange, this road should have been walked by no one for many years, but why is the gravel on the road inside so brand-new, why does this phenomenon occur?" ”
Several of us were thinking about this question in our heads, yes, it's kind of weird, why the hell is that? But I thought about it for a long time, but I couldn't come up with a more reasonable explanation. Xiao Lei and Sister Li, like me, couldn't figure it out. We couldn't help but set our eyes on Du Hongmei.
At this time, I saw Du Hongmei's eyes staring at the exit of the trail, and said word by word: "There is only one possibility, this trail is just a crack in the mountain that can be closed, just like the crack we are looking for."
After listening to Du Hongmei's words, the three of us were so shocked that we were speechless for a long time.
