The sweet potato-faced ugly man was afraid that I would run away or make small moves, so he sat on either side of me with one of his men, sandwiched me in the middle, and couldn't move at all, while the other man drove and drove all the way to the entrance of Qi'anlin Village, Bailu Township, according to the navigation prompts.

At this time, the sky was still bright, but we couldn't tell the exact location, just in time to see two fourteen or fifteen-year-old boys squatting in a puddle on the side of the road to play in the mud, probably from a nearby village, should know the location, so we pulled over.

I poked my head out of the window and asked them if they knew of a place called Turtleback Cliff.

The two children nodded their heads and shook their heads.

I just stared at the kid who was nodding and asked where it was.

The boy raised his right hand and pointed forward, staring at me with a hooked eye and not speaking.

I burst out laughing and said, "Hey, I still don't know how to go by the means you mean that." ”

Then he said, "Go straight to this road, go straight to Xiaojin Village, pass through the village, and then pass through the village in front of you, turn left at the three-way intersection, cross the river, go straight for a while, see a big rock, take the road to the right of the stone." ”

The boy looked small, but his expression was very sophisticated, and he could say so clearly that he should have been there, so I tentatively asked if he had been there.

He glanced at his little friend, first silently, then shook his head, and said that he had never been.

I could see that it was a lie, but I didn't break it, probably not a good place, and I was afraid that people would gossip, so he simply denied it.

I smiled and thanked him, and as I was about to roll the window, he suddenly added, "The car doesn't drive there." ”

I nodded, thanked again, and was about to roll up the window again when he added another sentence.

He said, "There, haunted." ”

My face darkened, I didn't speak again, I rolled up the window, the driver slowly drove forward, the shadows of the two children in the rearview mirror became smaller and smaller, they stood motionless and watched our car, like two single and weak ghosts, the face of the child who had just pointed the way was hovering in my mind, and the expression was gloomy and lingering.

The "haunting" that the child said must be the terrifying hallucinations caused by those magic hand mushrooms around the old mansion, and Uncle Chen planted them to scare away the nearby good deeds. I didn't bother talking to the kid on this topic because I was afraid that the people around me would hear something wrong.

I have to control the situation, I can't make a mistake before I get to the place, Fu Yuxin is waiting to pick me up in the old mansion, the people of the Yin family will definitely be on the way to come, as long as I hold on until I enter the old mansion, everything will develop in a good direction.

To get to the turtle cliff must pass through the middle of Xiaojin Village, although this village is almost deserted, but there are still a few families, in order to avoid extraneous branches, we try to hide as much as possible, do not rush into the village, but first drive the car into a barren forest outside the village, and wait until the sky is completely dark before getting off the action.

While waiting for dark, I kept thinking about something that was far from the topic.

The small gold village where we are now is the village where many people have been killed by a severe blue-gray plague outbreak more than 70 years ago. Xiaojin Village seems to be divided into two parts, big gold and small gold, some of which have been completely deserted, that is, the village that no one was in the child just now.

I wondered if Chen Jinziyu's house was on the Turtle's Back Cliff not far from here, so whether her blue-gray disease was directly related to the plague that broke out in the village.

There should be.

Moreover, the root cause of the outbreak of blue-gray disease here is Su Mosen's experiment of losing their humanity. When they were in the Hall of Eternal Life, they tried it, but they probably didn't come to the desired conclusion or effect, so they continued after moving here, and then harmed the nearby villagers.

I had a headache and fell asleep groggily, I don't know how long I slept, and I was woken up by a sweet potato-faced ugly man.

When I opened my eyes, it was already dark, I couldn't see my fingers, and the north wind was blowing outside the car window, and the swaying branches were like demons dancing wildly.

We took out the tools, self-defense weapons and lamps we needed from our respective backpacks, quickly jumped out of the car, silently groped for a look, walked through the village, turned left on the fork in the road, walked again, crossed the river, found the big stone pointed out by the child just now, and looked carefully with a flashlight, sure enough, there were two roads, one clear and one blurred.

The road on the right is very vague, and no one has walked it for a long time.

We crouched down to check the equipment in our backpacks again, put the lamp on top of our heads, and went up the hill with our cat's waist, and the two men walked in front to cut through the thorns, and I was sandwiched in the middle, and the sweet potato-faced ugly man followed closely behind me, for fear that I would suddenly play some tricks.

He had to be cautious, because if this mission could not be completed successfully, he would have to carry his head back to see Mo Yumei.

It's funny to think about that image.

At first, the road was fine, steep to steep, there was always a place to stay, it was not a problem to go up carefully, but gradually it became a problem, because it was getting steeper and steeper, it felt like a cliff wall perpendicular to the ground, and because the cliff was overgrown with clumps of weeds wet by the evening rain, it was slippery, and it was difficult to climb on all fours, and I had to hold on to the grass roots to support my body, and this was an extremely dangerous behavior, because I didn't know how tough or brittle those things were at night. If the grass dragged in both hands is broken or uprooted at the same time, the onion will have to fall upside down, and if you don't die, you have to break an arm or leg or break both.

As I tried very hard to climb up, I thought back to the look on the face of the little boy who had shown us the way, he must have been here, so he knew so clearly, it was hard to imagine how such a young child could climb up.

The physical strength of the two people in front of me is obviously not as good as mine, and there were two times when I slipped my foot and almost kicked me down, and I couldn't hold it anymore after climbing, so I stopped and shone it with a flashlight, and it didn't shine on my head, and there was a bit of despair in my voice.

I didn't think it was the way to go on like this, so I asked for a way to go up from their side, and when I got to the top, I hung down on a rope and pulled them down, so that they wouldn't fall and bring me with me.

The first two disagreed, afraid that I would play tricks to escape or trap them, but the sweet potato-faced ugly man in the back agreed, here he is the boss, he is in charge. So I leaned to the left and climbed up with all my strength, and the sweet potato face followed closely behind me, for fear that I would escape from the team.

It feels like I've been climbing for a long time, but I still can't see the end, there is a play called the bottomless pit in Journey to the West, but here it is like a cliff without a roof, and I am tired and trance-like when I climb like this, I feel more and more that I will definitely climb to heaven if I climb like this, and then I see Rulai, see the Jade Emperor, see the Queen Mother, see the Taishang Laojun, and Tota Li Tianwang and the like.

Later, I couldn't bear it, so I grabbed a thin sapling and stopped to rest for a while, looked up and down, left and right, and became more and more panicked, I couldn't see the top, I couldn't see the bottom, only the pale face of the sweet potato face and the eyes of the eagle stared at me burningly, and the left and right sides were either weeds or dwarf shrubs, rustling in the wind, mixed with insects and birds, and occasionally one or two night birds screaming, which became more and more weird.

I couldn't stand the feeling of hanging in the middle of the middle, gritted my teeth and continued to climb up, suddenly felt something blowing overhead, startled, instinctively to take action, but a closer look was a thick hemp rope swaying in the wind, hanging down from above, whisked there one by one, so weird that my scalp was numb, I was stunned for a while and did not dare to move, for fear of some fraud. But suddenly remembered that Fu Yuxin came with someone a few days ago, and his heart was immediately relieved, thinking that it should be used by him to hang down and pull his companions after he went up.

So I hurriedly climbed up two meters, and had the courage to pull the rope and pull it a few times, very good, the top was fixed firmly, and it was no problem to bear the weight of one or two people, so I confessed to the sweet potato face, and I first assured that I boldly dragged the rope up, just in case, I didn't hang all my strength on the rope, and I also divided one hand to grab the roots and vines on the cliff wall, so the speed was not much faster, but the strength was saved a lot, and the previous dizziness was gone, although I looked up and looked at the top, But because he was sure that he was near, the inner and lower parts suddenly collapsed a lot.

I had a good hunch, and after a while, I could see the top of the cliff, and three meters above it, there was a rock sticking out, and the rope was bent and hung down from there. I let out a heavy breath, smiled to myself, cheered myself up, and kindly shouted down that they should all be patient with the snacks and that they would soon reach the top. The following sentence comes up, the wind is strong and I can't hear it clearly, probably telling me to be careful.

Seeing that the distance is getting closer and closer, and my heart is getting wider and wider, I am a little careless, completely ignoring the fact that there will always be some unsatisfactory places in life, there will always be annoying reversals in good times, and there will often be people and things that should have been expected but ignored.

Just when I was still half a step away from the protruding rock, I just had to stretch my hand up and grab it and turn it over, when I looked up, I suddenly saw a person lying on the rock, and a gloomy face was looking down at me angrily, murderous.

No matter how bold I was, I couldn't help but be frightened, and suddenly my hand was loosened, and the whole person slid down, but fortunately, the last slope was a little steep, and the slide was still close to the cliff, and there was no upside down. It's just that the sweet potato face and the other two people who are right behind me are a little unlucky, we are in a straight line, and when we slip, they naturally follow suit.

I had a quick reflexes, and after only three or four meters of sliding, I pulled the rope and the roots of the tree to stabilize my body, and a series of confused curses rolled out of my throat, which really poured blood mold!

Then I listened to the sound below, and the last two people were more unlucky than me, not prepared at all, and were kicked and fell directly by the sweet potato-faced man, screaming again and again, the dark night and the sound of the wind amplified the cry infinitely poignant and terrifying, I couldn't help but hold on to the rope harder, imagining the picture of them rolling, thinking that if I couldn't hold on to something, I would definitely fall and be seriously injured.

You might fall to your death.
