Chapter 144: Corpses

Hu Sheng took Li Zhen's hand and walked towards the west. As Hu Sheng said, it is indeed difficult to move forward on that section www.biquge.info of the road, and the weeds on the side of the road have covered the original appearance of the road. The sunset had completely set on the other side of the mountain, and only the last blink of red in the sky could be seen.

"Actually, this road used to be a big road, and the road surface was not so narrow. Hu Sheng wiped his face with his hand, sweat was soaking out of his forehead, he looked at Li Zhen, the sweat had already wet her chiffon white shirt, they were tightly attached to her body, supporting her perfect curves. Hu Sheng swallowed. "Over the years, young people from the countryside have gone to the cities, leaving behind the elderly and children, and the fields on the mountainsides have long been deserted, and the roads have been buried over the years due to heavy rains and mudslides. Look how crazy these weeds grow. Hu Sheng stood on a stone that had not yet been covered by weeds, and looked down at Longmen Town. What a quiet and surprisingly small town. But no one knew that beneath this quiet surface was a turbulent undercurrent.

"Oh, it's not called a road at all. Okay!" Li Zhen kicked off a vine that was blocking her path. Panting. "We should come tomorrow. She looked up at the top of the mountain. "We're going to climb up the hill and climb over?"

"Oh, no, just bypass here, it's almost there, right in the valley ahead. Hu Sheng took her hand, and with all her strength she jumped on the stone on which he was standing and fell into his arms.

"I have to say, you're so tempting right now. Hu Sheng looked at her, his eyes flashing with fire.

Li Zhen pushed slightly, and said coquettishly: "Who asked me you to bring me here, barren mountains and wilderness." You see, the sun is no longer visible. ”

"Yes, we have to go quickly, lest we lose sight of the road when we come back. That's not fun. He took her hand and walked cautiously forward.

Hu Sheng remembers that when he was young, he liked to walk this path. There are rocks above and below this road, as well as land, and Xu Fei's land is not far ahead. His mother planted watermelons in the field, and every summer, the two of them would come to the field and secretly pick a few, and then hide under the rocks behind the soil to eat them. Dig another hole and bury the leftover melon skin. There is only one reason for doing this, that is, I am afraid that Xu Fei's mother will find out that because the location of this land is very remote, no one will generally find out that watermelons are planted. If the peel was found in the field, his mother would know that the two of them had done it. Because there are only two pieces of land there, one from Hu Sheng's and one from Xu Fei's. And the two of them always sneak around and play together. Together for almost the entire summer until he left the town.

He hadn't seen Xu Fei for many years, and he had already left the town when he returned to Longmen with Li Zhen. His mother told him that he went to the big city, like Shanghai or Guangzhou, and many people in the town would go to Shanghai and Guangzhou, because the people in the town said that there were many factories there, a lot of work to do, and they could make a lot of money. When he returned from prison, he found that their house was empty and the house was in tatters. Some people say that Xu Fei made a lot of money in the city and will never return to this poor town.

There are not many people living on the mountainside, there are only five or six in total, and they are far apart, Xu Fei and their family are relatively close. But now the house was empty, and there was no one else in the mile radius.

"We've been here before?" Li Zhen asked him, interrupting his thoughts.

"Oh yes, we were going to plant orange trees there. Or pine trees," Hu Sheng said, "you know, we came back and were going to plant some ornamental plants, or trees." ”

Li Zhen nodded, "I remember, because your classmate works as a landscape engineer in real estate. ”

He was not surprised by the only thing Li Zhen remembered, because he told him more than once why they came back in the first place. He had outlined a perfect future for her.

"Yes! ”

"Are you still in touch? Maybe we can work with him. ”

"No, there is no connection. Hu Sheng shook his head.

"That's why I'm reluctant to come to this valley. ”

"No, because we were stuck here, that winter, it was cold. You're angry. Hu Sheng remembers that time they came out to cut the branches of the mulberry tree and clean up the land to make it more suitable for the plants he was going to plant. Originally, he didn't allow Li Zhen to follow him all the way, but she insisted on following. said that since you have chosen this path, you should not have the idea of retreating or not being able to endure hardship.

"Actually, I understand. Hu Sheng hurriedly added. "I was the one who got the first shot, and I thought we were going to die in this terrible valley. ”

As soon as Hu Sheng said this, Li Zhen pushed him violently. She said in a trembling voice, "Hu Sheng, look!"

Hu Sheng looked ahead and saw the watermelon field of Xu Fei's house, where there seemed to be a person standing and smiling at him. He shuddered in horror. But he still mustered up the courage to shout, "Who's there?" By this time the sun had completely set. The shadows of the trees in the valley were abundant, and a gust of wind blew, and Hu Sheng heard the sound of branches breaking, as if someone had stepped on a dry branch. He felt a pair of warm hands covering his eyes from behind.

Li Zhen shook him, and her voice was calmer than before: "No one, look there?" she pushed Hu Sheng.

He shook his body when Li Zhen pushed him like this, and he wiped a handful of sweat beads dripping from his forehead on his eyes, and the warm hands he thought were nothing more than his sweat. Looking at it again, Li Zhen was right, no one was there, it was just a cypress tree that had not yet grown, his leaves and branches looked at him from his perspective like a human face smiling at him, and it would change its expression when the wind blew. Although he lived in this halfway up the mountain, he was not very bold, and when he was a child, he heard his grandmother tell stories about the mountains, and some murderers threw the people they killed into the valley, so when the wind blew through the valley, it always looked like someone was crying. That's because of the wails of the souls who have been slain because they are trapped here. Although he always likes to play with Xu Fei on this path, he has never been here at night, the reason why he said that Li Zhen will hate this place is because they heard that miserable wail that night, he originally thought that grandma was just scaring him and asked him not to run around, but he didn't expect it to be true. In the evening, Li Zhen proposed to come over, and he was still surprised, but he thought that they should be able to rush back before dark. I didn't expect this road to be much more difficult than before, and there should have been another mudslide in the recent year.

"There, there, do you see that?" Li Zhen pushed Hu Sheng again. Show him with your fingers.

Hu Sheng looked at Li Zhen's fingers, and then found out what made her tremble so much. I saw a corpse hanging high on a small mound 10 meters to the left of the watermelon field. (To be continued.) )
