We searched everywhere, but we couldn't find where Mr. Qi was. And the further we went, the thicker the bushes became, until at last the bushes above our heads were all closed, and we had to bend over and pass carefully.

Brother Qiang has been keeping an eye on the shrubs on the ground and on both sides, and he said to me: "Lao Qi may still be inside, because there are neither drag marks nor traces on this mountain road, if you look at the place where we have walked, even if you are careful, you will touch both sides and the top of your head, and get rid of these branches and leaves." ”

I shone it with a flashlight and found that Brother Qiang was right, the road ahead was clean and there was nothing, and the ground we walked on was full of fallen leaves that we rubbed off.

Where did Mr. Qi go?

Zhou Xiaoqin, who had been following me without speaking, said: "There is no breath of him here, it should still be behind." Go back and find out. This road is like some kind of formation, I don't know exactly what the formation is, but there is definitely something wrong with this place. ”

Nonsense, I also know that there is a problem, just so many snakes are enough for a headache.

Now the top priority is to find Mr. Qi as soon as possible, lest Mr. Qi be harmed, and as for the rest, leave it alone.

We went back the way we came, although we had a strong psychological resistance to the group of snakes we had just passed, but for the sake of Mr. Qi, we had to go back.

But we didn't see a snake until we walked to the place where Brother Qiang killed the snake, and of course, there was no trace of Mr. Qi, I shouted all the way and there was no response, and there was no other sound on the whole mountain except for the sound of the wind blowing through the leaves.

Brother Qiang was a little depressed: "Now, where are we going?" ”

I don't know, there are such dense bushes on both sides, there is no way to pass through at all, and Mr. Qi will not be stupid enough to drill into this, and he is not an ostrich.

We searched for a while, but we found nothing.

Brother Qiang didn't give up, he found the place where he undressed and said to me: "Right here, he is more than ten meters away from us, and then we didn't see him again when we ran forward, go to the front and look around, even if he dies, he has to leave some traces." ”

The two of us walked forward for more than ten meters, and the shrubs in this place seemed to be more lush, and the two sides were even tightly crowded, let alone drilling into it, it was estimated that it would be difficult to reach into an arm.

Brother Qiang sat on the ground, a little melancholy: "Could it be that Lao Qi died like this?" ”

I'm a little upset, what the hell is this place? It's so fucking weird!

I lifted my leg and kicked into the bushes next to me to vent my frustration.

However, when I kicked it over, I realized that the bushes were all illusory, because my legs were straight into them.

Then I lost my balance and plunged headlong into it......

Brother Qiang's voice sounded behind me, but I couldn't bother to answer at this moment, because my body was falling rapidly, but fortunately, there were dense weeds under me, which made my whole body not so painful.

I don't know how long it took me, but before I could catch my breath, I felt a dark shadow fall from the sky, and then I felt like I had been hit by a huge rock, and my whole body was about to fall apart......

When I was dizzy, Brother Qiang's voice sounded in my ears: "I'm sorry brother, I'm ...... I felt soft, I didn't expect it to fall on you. Are you okay? ”

I smiled helplessly: "Anyway, I'm not dead, what kind of place is this?" ”

Brother Qiang was prepared when he came down, he took a flashlight back and forth, and found that the two of us were in a deep pit at this time, and I didn't know where it was, because there was dense grass everywhere.

, Mr. Qi wouldn't have been like this just now, would he?

We helped each other up, and we took pictures everywhere, and there were dense weeds everywhere, and we were completely lost at this point. If it weren't for the marks where we fell, we would have lost our bearings.

Zhou Xiaoqin stood beside me, pointed to the opposite direction where we came down and said, "Over there, there are traces of climbing." ”

Brother Qiang and I walked over to take a look, and there were indeed traces of going up. Now we were in a huge bowl with all the steep slopes high on all sides, and only the place where we fell was the lowest.

However, is there such a place in Yunmeng Mountain? When I came, I used my mobile phone to look at the travel guide of Yunmeng Mountain, and I didn't find such a place at all.

But now that there are traces, let's go up first, maybe Mr. Qi is waiting for us on it.

I thought it would be easy to climb up by holding on to the grass, but it turned out that this was not the case at all, the mountain was very humid, and there was already dew on the grass at this time, and it was very slippery to grasp with my hands, and there was no support point under my feet, and once I didn't grasp it with my hands, it would roll down again, and sometimes even the head of the grass stalk would tear off the grass.

What the fuck!

It took us half a day to climb halfway, and in a place with a relatively gentle slope, Brother Qiang and I sat on the ground, gasping for air.

I took out my cigarette, lit it with Brother Qiang, and lay on the grass, not wanting to do anything at all.

Brother Qiang took a flashlight and took a photo around, trying to find any clues. We're all in the dark, we don't have a goal, we don't know where we are, so we're tired because we don't know how long we're going to climb.

I was thinking about it, when Brother Qiang suddenly said, "Hey, this is not the trace of Lao Qi crawling. ”

I sat up curiously, "What's going on?" ”

Brother Qiang used a flashlight to shine a flashlight on the place where we had climbed, it was like a group of wild boars walking by, the originally neat grass was disorganized, and in many places we turned the dirt out because we grabbed too hard.

On the other hand, the mark next to it looks obvious, but the blade of grass is a little messy, and it looks obvious because there is no dew on it.

I opened my mouth: "Mr. Qi can fly on the grass?" ”

Brother Qiang threw away the cigarette butt: "He will blow on the grass, this is not a trace of his crawling at all, it is like a trace of some kind of reptilian creeping." ”

I was shocked: "For example? ”

Brother Qiang glanced at me: "Python! ”

Although I was a little flustered, when I took the flashlight and looked at the traces of the trail again, I had to admit that this thing did look very similar to the trail of a python crawling past.

But just like a python, we have to climb up, in case Mr. Qi is swallowed by it, maybe we can save him by finding and killing the python now.

Neither of us spoke, and began to climb up with a breath in our breath.

We don't want to admit that Mr. Qi is dead, and we don't dare to face this kind of thing.

Since Mr. Qi appeared by my side, he has always played the role of my guide, not only in Feng Shui, but also in dealing with people and behaving.

Now that he may be dead, I grieve and just want to find him as soon as possible, even if it is just a corpse, and not a single animal can eat it.

The two of us are now more and more experienced, and the speed of climbing is getting faster and faster, and when we finally crawled out of it, the sweat on our bodies had already wet our clothes, I put down the backpack with difficulty, turned out two bottles of water from it, threw one bottle to Brother Qiang, and then unscrewed it, drank two sips, and poured the rest on my head.

I felt like my lungs were going to explode, and I couldn't speak.

Brother Qiang was also sweating at this time, he motioned for me to sit down and rest, I was really going to meet a python at this time, let alone kill each other, we probably had to be each other's snacks.

It took a while for the two of us to calm our breath, take the food and drink in our backpacks to replenish a little, and then follow the trail towards the front.

It was obviously a lot barren here, the shrubs were much sparser, and there were also insects and birds chirping around.

Brother Qiang said: "The trail we passed just now, there is only the sound of the wind blowing, and there is no sound of these insects and birds chirping, and it feels real at this moment, and the scene just now is a bit like an illusion." So many snakes gathered together, unless there is enough food, they will definitely all starve to death. And those bushes don't come in a year or two, they need to be cultivated for many years. It's really impossible to think about it now. ”

I also think that the experience just now is a bit bizarre, and this is not a horror, how can there be that kind of scene?

Following the traces, the two of us walked forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and I didn't know where I was at this time, and my phone had been lost when I was just scrolling, and it was impossible to locate it. If I had known this, I should have listened to my father, left here far away, and never came back.

This is a place I don't want to come to in my life.

As we walked, the smell of animals wafted in the wind.

Brother Qiang said: "It seems to be nearby, brother, you have a flashlight, let's be careful, don't be attacked." ”

The two of us got together and walked forward slowly, listening carefully to the movements around us with each step, for fear of accidentally stepping on the python.

We walked for dozens of meters and didn't find anything, but the smell was getting stronger and stronger.

Brother Qiang took out the dagger that Brother Wang gave him and handed it to me, signaling for me to use it for self-defense, he walked in front, I walked behind, and we didn't dare to breathe at this time, for fear of missing the surrounding movements.

But we didn't notice anything, and the sound of insects around us disappeared again, indicating that there must be something vicious around.

Brother Qiang stopped, carefully identified the direction of the wafting smell, and led me to that direction.

We walked a few dozen meters, and the surroundings were quiet at this time, and when I was carefully observing the surrounding environment, Brother Qiang suddenly said: "Ahead, there is something!" ”

I shone it with a flashlight, and found that it was a stone tablet, and we walked over to see it, and there were four quaint big characters written on the stone tablet: Zhangjia Ancient Village!

Next to these four words, there is also a line of simplified Chinese small characters: "The front is the residence of the Zhang family who has guarded the spirit of Mr. Guigu for generations, please stay away if you are not from the Zhang family, otherwise you will bear the consequences!" ”
