Chapter 003 of Ling Departure
The day finally arrived, at half past eight in the morning, Yijiang began to prepare the things that should be taken to Nanfeng Mountain this time, so he turned up the backpack he got back, and took out some of the things in the bag that were useless for going up the mountain this time, and finally left a few things with three bags of bread, three bottles of mineral water, and a bag of tissues, which were the amount of him, Cheng Cheng and Zhu Yun, and he also put his mobile phone in his trouser pocket.
After everything was in order, Yijiang originally wanted one of the two of them to take this bag, but after thinking about it, it was definitely not as good as him to let the two of them take something, not that they were so good, but Cheng Cheng was thin and small, so he was obviously a bit of a bully, although Zhu Yun had a tough physique, but this person has been more active since he was a child, who knows when he will lose this bag. So Yijiang silently took on the responsibility of carrying the bag, and followed the two of them to the gate to wait for the gathering.
Everyone appeared one after another in just ten minutes. Duan Guanghui and his sister Duan Guangting, Jiabin, Zhang Jian, and then Yijiang, Cheng Cheng and Zhu Yun, everyone arrived, Duan Guanghui was carrying a plastic bag in his hand, which contained a few pies and two bottles of water, Zhang Jian came empty-handed without anything, Jiabin also pretended to carry a women's bag, which looked nondescript as if it had undergone surgery, and I didn't know what was inside.
Among the seven people, except for Yijiang, Cheng Cheng and Zhu Yun, the others were very surprised, because they didn't expect so many people to come. They also chatted with each other energetically, because they were all from the same village, and they were all friends of Yijiang, so it was difficult for them to get acquainted with each other!
Yijiang waited for a few people to talk about the same before saying, "It's not early, let's not delay, let's go!"
......
The location of Nanfeng Mountain was to the south of the village, which they all knew, there was no one living there, and to get there, in addition to crossing a small river, there was also a forest. The group followed the village path in that direction, but the road disappeared as they walked, and the road was already paved with weeds, as if there had never been a road here. The road here is very familiar with this place except for Cheng Cheng among several people, so they can continue to walk on the weeds according to their memory, and Cheng Cheng has been following the team.
The more they walked, the more strenuous it became, and the weeds gradually became taller and taller, making them feel like they were shuttling through the reeds, and the road was extremely difficult to walk, and several people walked for nearly ten minutes before breaking through the barrier. Yijiang felt that his body was itchy, and everyone else was also scratching hard.
Duan Guanghui muttered while scratching: "Why has this road become so difficult to walk? I haven't been here for a few years, that's it? Eh, look, look! Now our whole body is like a hedgehog!"
Zhu Yun accosted: "There are no people here except you like a hedgehog, don't be modest!"
Duan Guanghui didn't refute, muttering to himself while picking up the things tied to his clothes, talking about this thing, he had to explain it. It was a thing that fell off the top of the plant, called the "ghost needle fork", that thing was only a few centimeters long, but there were many of them, and when the number was too large, everyone would inevitably stop and pick up the ghost needle fork tied to the clothes one by one, and it was delayed here for some time.
......
"Alas, you must know that you won't take this road in this way, we don't want to suffer this sin, Zhang Jian, help me pick up my back. Jiabin was too busy to ask Zhang Jian to help, Zhang Jian was also concentrating on picking, but he only had a dozen sticks on his body, and these dozen were only tied to his shoelaces, which couldn't help but make the people looking at him feel strange, but they thought about it carefully and understood, it turned out that the surface of the clothes this guy was wearing was relatively smooth, and the ghost needle and fork couldn't be pierced at all. Looking at the rest of the people who were almost pierced into hedgehogs, a few envious, jealous and hateful eyes suddenly turned to Zhang Jian, Zhang Jian's face showed a little pride, but it was not too obvious, probably for fear of arousing public anger. I saw that after he finished picking a dozen of them, he went to help Jiabin pick the ghost needle fork on his back.
(Well, we've been here for so long.) Yi Jiang muttered in his heart, and suddenly he thought of something. (Do other people know about the meteorites and missing people in the village?) The seven people were busy with the ghost needles and forks on their bodies, and Yijiang took the opportunity to ask: "Do you know anyone about the meteorites and missing people in our village?"
Cheng Cheng and Zhu Yun knew, so Yijiang looked at the other four people, and these four people didn't have much reaction, and they were silent for a while. Immediately afterwards, I heard that someone seemed to be crying, and the person who was crying was Duan Guangting, and everyone looked at Duan Guangting who was crying, and even Duan Guanghui lowered his head sullenly. This made Yijiang feel strange, and the others looked at each other in confusion.
After a while, Duan Guangting suddenly cried: "I... My parents too... Both... Missing, just the other day ... , they said they were going to Nanfeng Mountain to do some work, but they didn't come back. Woo... Woo...!"
Yijiang suddenly realized that he had said something that he shouldn't have said, and he didn't know how to persuade the two siblings.
"So I actually want to ask everyone to help us find our parents, even if..." Duan Guanghui didn't say it in the end, probably because he wanted to say that even if he saw the sideways.
Zhu Yun couldn't stand this kind of scene the most, he walked up and said, "Eh~ Okay, don't cry, don't be sad Duan Guanghui, we will definitely help you find it!" After hearing this, the two gradually regained their original looks, and finally they were able to continue on their way.
After walking for a long time, a small river appeared in front of them, and the water was not deep, but only knee-deep. They wanted to wade through the river, but today they can't go into the water with the shoes they wear, and the river is more than ten meters wide and they can't jump over it in one step, so they can only walk along the river on the shore and jump over it when they find a place where the river has become thinner. In this way, unconsciously the seven people have been out for dozens of minutes, Yijiang took out his mobile phone and looked at the time, it is already 10:43 in the morning, they have been delayed for more than an hour and nearly two hours just now, and at this speed, it is estimated that it will be dark back and forth. There is still a long distance from Nanfeng Mountain, but after all, a few people have walked for more than an hour, and they are inevitably a little tired, and Yijiang in front is afraid that Duan Guanghui and Duan Guangting will leave them behind if they walk at the end of the line.
Sure enough, Duan Guanghui said weakly in the back: "No... No, let's take a break here! Oh shit!" He plopped down and sat on the floor, regardless of what the others thought of him.
Yijiang and they couldn't do anything about him, after all, he was tired and had to rest temporarily. I don't know who said "thirsty" in the middle, a few people felt thirsty at this time, although Yijiang and Duan Guanghui brought water when they came out, but they drank it before that, and they knew that it was better to endure it at that time.
Yijiang waved his hand and said, "There is no water!"
"Since there is a river here, there should be a spring!" Cheng Cheng, who had not spoken at this time, reminded Yijiang, and Yijiang suddenly realized that when he was young, he often played by the river when he was young, and drank spring water when he was thirsty, why didn't he remember it at this critical moment? Zhang Jian and Jiabin stood up and began to look for that very small spring nearby.
After a while, I heard Jiabin shouting happily: "Here!" At this time, Yijiang and the others were like hungry wolves attracted by food, and they all stood up and rushed to the spring, no matter how tired they were just now, they all rushed to drink the water at this time. In the end, only Duan Guanghui was left to continue drinking, and everyone else returned to their original place to rest.
These people are idle here, and they are bored, so they chatter. Yijiang also told them a few ghost stories that he had heard from his grandmother when he was a child, and although even he was skeptical, it was best to pass the time. After listening to the story, several people really didn't believe in this kind of godlike story, and then Zhu Yun was there and Duan Guang was bragging about it, and the atmosphere suddenly became much easier.
Yijiang accidentally found that only Zhang Jian seemed to be in a daze, so he walked over and asked, "Hey, what are you looking at?"
When Zhang Jian heard someone call him, he immediately made a "shhh" gesture, and then continued to be in a daze, Yijiang walked up to see what was wrong with this kid, and when he got to his side, Yijiang saw that Zhang Jian was not in a daze, but turned his ears sideways as if listening to something. "There seems to be some sound, or the voice of a cow!" Zhang Jian said in a low voice.
Told by this, Yijiang felt curious, and listened carefully, and sure enough, there was a sound of "moo~" not far away, the sound was extremely weak, and Yijiang didn't hear clearly which direction it came from. Since the position of several people was on the bank of the river, everyone was sitting facing the river, and behind them was a piece of dead grass, the height of the grass was not inferior to the one they had passed before, and they heard a few more voices, Yijiang had already determined that the sound was coming from behind the dead grass, and he couldn't help but feel a little nervous in his heart.
Just when Yijiang and Zhang Jian were attentive to it, a shadow came out of the withered grass behind them, and the two hands of the shadow were on the shoulders of the two, Yijiang and Zhang Jian were both startled, and then turned around. Behind him was a person with only a face wrapped tightly around his body, Zhang Jian immediately jumped up reflexively, and Yijiang quickly regained his composure when he saw that it was a person.
After picking it off, Yijiang recognized it, this is the famous cattle herding baby "Li Qing" in their village, Li Qing came here with his father to herd cattle, but he heard the voice of someone by the river, so he wanted to come and have a look. Li Qing opened his mouth and said, "What, are you scared? What are you doing here?"
At this time, Yijiang really wanted to go up and beat him, so scared that he was half to death, and said that they were sneaky, but out of reason, he also knew the person in front of him. Yijiang pretended to be calm and said, "We're going to Nanfeng Mountain! You don't honestly herd your cattle, what are you doing here?"
"I'll go too! You don't have to get on my mobile satellite to lead the way, you're going to get lost! I'm very familiar with it!"
Yi Jiang was already used to laughing at him like this, and thought: (This bragging and not writing drafts dares to say that he is so powerful in front of so many people, look at how you step down in a while!)
The other people who were chatting on the side heard what Li Qing said, and Li Qing and they naturally knew each other, but they felt that it was a bit unexpected that this Li Qing would appear here. Zhu Yun didn't give him a chance at all, and came up to pick up his boss and said, "I don't know who was lost there last time and called for mom!"
Li Qing's expression immediately became embarrassed when he heard this, his smile stiffened, and his mouth kept explaining: "That was all when I was a child, but now it's different!"
Zhu Yun continued to sarcastically say: "It's different, now that I'm lost, I don't call my mother, I call my father!" Everyone felt funny in their hearts, but they didn't dare to laugh out loud, for fear that Li Qing would not be able to save face.
Li Qing was really a little unconvinced and said, "Damn, Zhu Yun, you want to find a fight!"
Zhu Yundid greeted him with a smile, but was stopped by Yijiang and Zhang Jian in the middle. The two of them quarreled and quarreled, although Yijiang knew that they would not really fight, they were just fighting. Not surprisingly, the two of them talked and laughed again after a while, but Zhu Yun was like his nemesis, always exposing his shortcomings.
......
After everyone rested, before leaving, Jiabin asked, "Li Qing, what should I do with your cow?"
Li Qing smiled disappreciatively: "My dad is over there, I told him!" In this way, there were more people in the team, in order to avoid being thirsty, Li Qing also took out his bottle and filled it with water, so that the problem of water was solved, and sure enough, it was the people who often came out, and Yijiang didn't know where they threw their bottles.
After crossing the river, a tall thing gradually emerged in the distance, Yijiang looked familiar, and after a few glances, he knew that it was a construction site fence that was often seen in the city, and he wondered unconsciously when he saw this Yijiang.
(How did this thing suddenly appear here? Could it be that something was being built in it? No! Who would be building something in this small village in the middle of nowhere, and at the foot of such a remote mountain?)
It was at this time that Duan Guang sighed, "Damn, it won't be blocked, right?"
"Blockade? That's right! It's blocked!" Yijiang suddenly thought of why this place was blocked.
(I see, this place has been locked down?it must have been because of the meteorite and the missing man.) Yi Jiang looked at the others, apparently they had also figured out one after another, and they were all confused by what was in front of them.
"What should I do?" asked Yu Guang.
Zhang Jian said coldly at this time: "There is only one way to get around." ”。
In fact, Yijiang thought so at the beginning, but if he bypassed, he didn't know what kind of bumpy road he would encounter on the way, so Yijiang didn't mention it to a few people, seeing Zhang Jian say so, and everyone said that this trick was feasible, Yijiang looked at Nanfeng Mountain in the distance, because this iron fence blocked the view, he could only vaguely see one-third of Nanfeng Mountain. Yijiang found a high ground again and stood on it to take a look.
(Oh, how much of a area is sealed off here?Looks like it's not going to be easy to get around!)
Yijiang came down and said to everyone: "Okay! We have to go around, but the premise is that each of us must follow the footsteps of the team, because if we go around in front, we will go directly to the back of Nanfeng Mountain, so we have to step up our steps and strive to come back before the sun sets. Yijiang had no choice but to say helplessly: "I guess that section of the road will not be easy to walk, just look at that piece of forest and know that it is easy to get lost in it, and maybe something will happen there, everyone try not to be distanced by the team!"
Zhu Yun shook his hand and walked in front without looking back: "If you want to go, hurry up, it's really going to be dark if you delay any longer!"
Sure enough, after they had only gone far away, they entered an endless forest, the floor of the forest was covered with dead leaves and dead grass branches, in short, there were all kinds of dead branches and rotten leaves, and the trouble was not these, Yijiang They were afraid that they would fall into some pit for no reason, or step on something disgusting and encounter some beast or something.
There was an evil wind blowing in the forest, and Yi Jiang suddenly felt his body tremble, as if the wind was blowing directly into his body. Li Qing and Zhu Yun walked in the front to lead the way, and the two of them kept talking to each other as they walked. "You say this forest is so weird, I guess there will be something unclean!" Li Qing said pretendingly.
Zhu Yun pointed to the grass beside Li Qing and said, "Look, what is that?"
Li Qing looked there, there was nothing but a pile of garbage in that place, but there was a seemingly fresh clothes piled up there, normal clothes were just that, but the word "police" was written on the clothes, and the two of them knew what was happening in the village.
Zhu Yun pretended to be a ghost and frightened again: "Maybe this policeman has been...!" He also exaggerated a frightened expression on his face.
Li Qing ignored him, walked over to look at his clothes a few times, picked up a branch and flicked it, and then he stood in place. Zhu Yun saw that he looked at the clothes motionless, and he found that something was wrong, and he also stepped forward to see what was going on, but Zhu Yun also stayed in place and remained motionless like Li Qing. The people behind saw the two of them standing there stunned.
Duan Guanghui shouted, "Hey, what are you two doing?" Seeing that the two of them didn't answer, Duan Guanghui shouted again: "What, it can't be that there is no road ahead, right?"
"This," Li Qing stammered.
At this time, the six people behind also surrounded him, and as a result, he heard Duan Guangting screaming and hid behind Duan Guanghui. Everyone's eyes widened, because there was a corpse under the clothes, the corpse's mouth was very wide as if it was in pain, the whole body was gray-black, and the whole body was like a deflated balloon clinging to the bones, everyone present saw this kind of scene for the first time, and they were so shocked that they couldn't speak, and they didn't know who picked up the clothes back to the corpse at this time, which made them exhale this breath.
Then they heard an "ah", and everyone found the source of the sound, and saw that Duan Guanghui only had his upper body left scratching and struggling on the ground, and Yijiang and they didn't have time to react. I saw Duan Guangting and Zhang Jian there on the left and right, dragging Duan Guanghui's arm and pulling Duan Guanghui hard, trying to pull Duan Guanghui up.
Yijiang understood that he must have fallen into some pit. Then Yijiang and Jiabin hurriedly ran over and pulled up, and the four of them took a lot of effort to pull Duan Guanghui out of the hole, and the five of them were all sitting on the ground panting. "Eh, eh...!I'm really scared to death! How can there be a pit in this good place? Who hurts Lao Tzu so much!" Duan Guanghui complained angrily.
"If you weren't so old, you wouldn't have worked so hard to pull you up!" said this to Jiabin, because he was the youngest here, and his strength was about the same as Cheng Cheng.
Duan Guanghui laughed when he heard this, and after standing up, he said, "If I wasn't so big, I wouldn't have fallen directly." ”
Everyone relaxed when they saw that Duan Guanghui was fine, but this relaxation reminded them of the terrifying scene just now, although Yi Jiang was already stunned like everyone else at that time, but his eyes had seen all the corpses, and he found that the corpse was still holding a flashlight in his hand, so Yi Jiang told the others.
Zhang Jian said: "Flashlight?
"That's right, this man died in the evening. Yi Jiang said while recalling.
"Could that be some kind of beast?" Duan Guangting asked timidly.
Yi Jiang thought for a while and said, "It shouldn't be, if it's a beast, you can imagine that scene, this person's body is estimated to have little left." But now the corpse didn't seem to have a drop of blood, and the way it died seemed to be deflated, and this strange way of dying was incomprehensible. "Yijiang is not a detective, nor is he a forensic doctor, he doesn't know much about dead people, to be precise, he hasn't had any contact at all, but he still knows a little bit from TV and movies.
Kabin said, "Okay, since we can't think of it, let's keep going!
Everyone sorted out their thoughts and prepared to go, but Cheng Cheng said coldly: "Maybe the soul was sucked away by something, such as a ghost!"
(Ghost, sucked the soul?) Yi Jiang repeatedly muttered in his heart (This situation has only been seen in movies, how can there be any ghosts in the real world, maybe it was sucked dry by some blood-sucking bugs. )
Duan Guangting was already frightened, and when he heard the frightened look on the ghost's face even thicker, Duan Guanghui saw that his sister was too frightened, so he said something to his sister: "There won't be that kind of thing, even if there are so many of us, are you still afraid that it won't work!" This trick didn't work at all, and Duan Guanghui also felt that he didn't believe it after he finished speaking.
Kabin interjected, "Otherwise, let's each take a thicker branch, so that no matter what beast you encounter, or if you fall into the hole, it will help you, how about it?"
Zhang Jian didn't hesitate to pick up a thick branch, broke off the miscellaneous branches on it and threw it away, leaving only a bare stick.
After listening to what Jiabin said, the others felt a little reasonable, and they were also looking for their "weapons".
