Chapter Ninety-One: Red Leaf Valley
The blood trickled me out of Old Man Zhang's backpack and dropped on the ground.
Bai Fan noticed that I looked nervous, and when he saw this scene along my line of sight, he screamed in fright.
Old man Liu and Old Man Zhang, who were walking in front, stopped when they heard the shouting, turned around and asked:
"What's wrong?"
Bai Fan pointed to Old Man Zhang's backpack and whispered:
"Uncle Zhang... You.. Why is this backpack dripping blood on the ground? ”
Old man Zhang was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then his face changed, and he said with a smile:
"It's not blood, you're wrong"
Seeing Old Man Zhang's quibble, I said angrily:
"Slimy red, why isn't it blood, can you show me what's in the bag?"
As I spoke, I reached over and grabbed his backpack, and before Old Man Zhang could speak, his apprentice Xiao Zhou was in the middle, frowning and whispering:
"Dude, there are my master's bones in the bag, you will be too much to do"
Lao Liu saw that we were arguing, and coldly persuaded:
"Okay, the bag belongs to someone else, it's not up to you to open it or not"
I was a little anxious and said:
"I've felt something is wrong since I found out that the man guarding the forest was missing one morning, what is the bloody thing in your bag, and I can't contain pieces of someone's corpse."
When Bai Fan heard me say this, he took a few steps back in fright.
Old man Zhang smiled when he heard this:
"Little brother speaks with good evidence, did you see me kill someone? Did I kill him with such a bad old man? People still have guns in their hands."
"Then you just open the backpack and show it to us."
Old man Zhang nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, then I'll show you"
With that, he took off the backpack behind him and unzipped it in front of all of us.
Although there were so many people present, I was still a little frightened when I thought of the corpse fragments of the head, arms and legs contained in the bag.
I took a deep breath, prepared myself, and stared at my backpack.
"----"
When the backpack was pulled open, the white bones were revealed, but there seemed to be nothing else but the bones.
I looked over in disbelief and found that the backpack was full of bones, and there was really no room for anything else.
Seeing my stunned expression, Old Man Zhang said with a smile:
"Do you see any pieces of corpses, young man?"
I stared at the white bones in the bag in disbelief, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, I had seen this skeleton before, it had already dried badly, and there was no luster on the pit bag, but now it seems to be completely different.
Every bone here is smooth and bright, as if it had just been plucked!!
But even so, where does the blood come from??
I was thinking in confusion, and Old Man Zhang smiled and closed the zipper again.
"Let's just say that you have a bad look, maybe it rained a few days ago, and the bag was wet and ran a little water, and then I will show you the bottom of the bag"
As he spoke, he lifted his bag again and showed me the bottom of the backpack, but after the backpack was volleyed, there was no more blood, his backpack was dark brown, even if there was blood, it was really difficult to distinguish.
Bai Fan and I glanced at each other suspiciously, and then looked down again, and there was indeed a row of blood stains on the road he walked.
Xiao Zhou said with a smile:
"The few drops of blood on the ground didn't come out of the teacher's bag, it was me, I didn't sleep honestly last night, I accidentally cut my arm, and now it's still bleeding, you see"
Saying that, Xiao Zhou rolled up his sleeves, revealing a terrible wound, the entire little arm from the ankle to the elbow, I don't know if something tore a hole, the flesh is turning out, and the blood is flowing.
Lao Liu saw this wound and said in a deep voice:
"It's so badly injured, why don't you bandage it?"
Xiao Zhou didn't seem to be in pain, and said with a smile:
"I've put on the medicine, wait for a while to stop the bleeding and then wrap it"
Such a bloodshed incident with a backpack was easily resolved by the old man and the apprentice in a few words.
Seeing this, Lao Liu didn't say anything more, and beckoned us to hurry up.
It would be impossible to say that I was dazzled by myself, but Bai Fan also clearly saw that the backpack was bleeding just now.
Although Bai Fan didn't interject during the whole process, she could see that she was very scared and walked close to me along the way.
We walked in the Changbai Mountain forest area according to the map for two days and two nights, and the exciting thing is that there was no mistake, we were getting closer and closer to the end point marked on the map, and there was a sudden heavy rain near the afternoon, and the description of this wind and rain was also complete!
But the closer I get to the Red Leaf Valley, the tighter my heart will be, Old Man Zhang and his apprentice definitely have a problem, I don't know the purpose of their trip to the Red Leaf Valley. If they go in together, they don't know what will happen.
We walked along the way, I felt that there were more poplars around us, and Lao Liu said that the poplars planted at the mouth of the Red Leaf Valley were poplars.
Seeing hope, everyone walked more and more energetically, and before they knew it, it was dark again.
We found a spot and pitched our tents, planning to reach Momiji Valley tomorrow.
Except for Lao Liu's piece of wood, everyone else was extremely excited.
The tent was set up and everyone sat around for dinner as usual.
What happened before, this time they were all worried about each other, and after chatting a few words with each other, they all went back to the tent.
I sat in the tent and asked Lao Liu what he thought about the bleeding of the backpack during the day, but I didn't expect Lao Liu to stand on my side this time, and said in a cold voice:
"Old man Zhang does have a problem, and there is indeed blood in the bag"
I leaned over to him and asked:
"Yes, but why is the blood gone as soon as he opens the bag?"
Lao Liu said calmly when he heard this:
"I guess I've already drunk it"
Drunk?
I was startled and hurriedly asked:
"Who drank, I kept staring, I didn't see any of them drinking anything"
"The white bones in the bag drank the blood, I guess, this bone follows him everywhere every day, and it can still be kept so intact, it should be raised with human blood."
Blood bubbles and white bones, this creepy practice, I believe that Old Man Zhang can do it.
Lao Liu continued:
"Although the white bones will not rot, but if they are left outside for a long time, they will also be weathered and brittle, and his white bones can be kept intact to this point, this old man should have taken human blood and blister bones in the past ten years."
I understand Lao Liu's explanation, this is similar to putting preservatives in mummies to prevent rot, I know that traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to blood to nourish bones, but I didn't expect that this old Chinese medicine doctor actually put the ability to see a doctor and save people on this. It's no wonder that when I look at this bone again during the day, I find it smooth and strong.
"Lao Liu, then where did you say that the blood of Old Man Zhang soaked in white bones came from, did he kill the man who watched Lin and fed the bones with his blood?"
Lao Liu sighed and said:
"It's hard to say, tomorrow we will be able to reach the Red Leaf Valley, you also have a dim sum eye"
I nodded when I heard this, and then I didn't speak anymore, Lao Liu is old after all, and he has been sleeping in the mountains for the past few days, and he has tossed enough to choke, and he will fall asleep after a while.
I was on duty in the first half of the night, and after 12 o'clock in the evening, Xiao Zhou came to inform me that he would take over.
I'm going to find the Red Leaf Valley tomorrow.,Seeing the dream goose.,The curse of the 13th road may be solved.,The little girl may be saved! I couldn't sleep when I thought about it.
At two o'clock in the middle of the night, I suddenly heard some movement in the tent opposite, and curiously opened the tent curtain to take a look.
The old man was carrying the big schoolbag and was discussing something with Xiao Zhou, and after a while, the two of them walked mysteriously towards the depths of the forest.
What are these two people doing?
I was full of doubts, and I was afraid that the two of them would have some plot to harm us, so I sneaked out of the tent and followed.
At first, the two of them walked in the forest in a hurry, but when they saw that they were far away, their pace slowed down, and Xiao Zhou, the apprentice of the old man, said:
"Teacher, it's quite hanging during the day, but fortunately, the blood soaked quickly, otherwise it would be difficult to find out."
Old man Zhang laughed twice and said:
"It's been so many years, I've already pinched the time, and when I opened the backpack, the blood just soaked in, no problem"
It was very dark, I didn't follow far, and their conversation happened to overhear, the blood dripping from the backpack was actually the same as the blood blister bones that Lao Liu said, and I secretly screamed at Lao Liu in my heart.
"Teacher, your wish for so many years has finally come true, you went to the Red Leaf Valley to find the spirit chicken and took blood, and you will no longer need human blood to soak your bones in the future, and the master will not have to be afraid of the wind and the sun."
I finally knew the purpose of the two of them looking for Red Leaf Valley, it turned out to be to take some kind of spirit chicken blood to soak bones, and, listen to what they mean, the bones soaked in this blood can stay young forever!
The two of them walked as they spoke, as if they were confident, and I followed behind me secretly, and one accidentally scraped his pants on a branch.
"Wow", I felt the cool breeze starting to swish below, and I secretly screamed that it was not good, and the crotch of my pants was torn a big hole!!
This sound also attracted the attention of the old man and the two men, and they turned around and saw me.
As soon as I saw that I had been discovered, I quickly turned around and ran desperately, and the old man Zhang shouted:
"Xiao Zhou, chase!"
Old man Zhang gave an order, this kid ran over like a mad dog, this dark environment, where is there any kung fu to distinguish the direction, I lowered my head and ran hard, Xiao Zhou chased after me, this breath stumbled and ran for more than 20 minutes, and finally threw Xiao Zhou away.
Xiao Zhou didn't catch up, and I didn't have anything to be happy about, because I found that in this deep mountain and old forest, I had lost myself!!
I was panting on my knees, sweating profusely.
Looking around in a panic, I inadvertently found that these poplar leaves under my feet were a little different, and I took out my mobile phone to take a photo, which was red!!
A bold idea came to me in my heart, did I have already broken into the valley of Momiji by mistake??
