Chapter 3: Strange Photos
The row of footprints pointed out the direction to Jiang Shan very clearly, and Jiang Shan also picked up a thick branch from the ground and used it as a crutch for himself.
The lush grass on the ground was trampled to pieces, and it was obviously done by Xiao Chen's group of people who had no public morality.
Jiang Shan's life creed has always been to respect the rules and cherish life. The translation is - if you don't die, you won't die.
For these people who were born healthy and without illness and could have lived a long life, but they were going to die, Jiang Shan was destined to be incomprehensible.
……
Jiang Shan took out his mobile phone and looked at the signal every time he walked, expecting a miracle.
The moon rose into the sky, and no miracle happened.
The more Jiang Shan walked up the mountain, the more goosebumps he had, the whole mountain was too quiet!
Is there not even a bird or insect in such a big mountain?
It's as if Jiang Shan himself is the only living creature walking on this mountain.
Jiang Shan took a deep breath, silently recited a few words of children's rhyme, and continued walking...... Suddenly she seemed to step on something, hard.
Jiang Shan slowly moved his steps and shone a flashlight to see the items on the ground clearly.
It's a camera.
The angle of the camera is strange, the lens is pointing diagonally upward, as if it is still shooting something.
Jiang Shan was a little familiar with this camera, her eyes lit up, and she figured out that it was a pair of young couples among the passengers.
The little couple chattered along the way, brushing up on their presence, and Jiang Shan was impressed. She still remembers that the young couple triumphantly took out the camera and boasted that it had been sold at a high price from an auction house, and that the camera was made of special film, saying that it was the first vintage camera in the world.
Remember how they looked at the camera baby, at this moment, how could they be discarded here at will?
Jiang Shan reached out and picked up the camera, dusted it, and stuffed it into his backpack.
However, one after another, Jiang Shan actually saw some "items", parasols, sunglasses, wallets, ...... They all belong to the individual in the brigade. All their things were thrown on the ground, and the hearts of those who saw them were shocked.
There were even people's clothes.
Suddenly, Jiang Shan stopped stiffly.
She rubbed her eyes carefully, and she noticed that the footprints in front of her were gone.
And it was all gone all at once, as if out of thin air, the footprints of so many people who were originally messy and mixed together, suddenly all broke off in unison, as if so many people had all disappeared from the ground or evaporated in an instant.
Jiang Shan was stunned, this time he was completely stunned.
It's like a headless fly that has lost its bearings, caught in a great state of confusion and confusion.
What's going on? Can objects be discarded, and human footprints disappear all at once?
Jiang Shan seemed to hear her own heartbeat and exhalation, which became louder and louder, shaking her eardrum tremor.
What to do? Jiang Shan seemed to be asking himself.
The darkness that was gradually enveloping was obviously devouring the last hope, and Jiang Shan couldn't help but turn his head and glance at the inn behind him, which was already far away.
Go?
At this moment, under the moonlight, Jiang Shan actually saw a tent.
Jiang Shan's eyes lit up, and she, the patient, rushed to the tent in three or two steps with some excitement, subconsciously thinking that it was left by those people in the tour group.
However, the moment he approached the tent, Jiang Shan's expression froze on his face, and his excited mood fell to the bottom at that moment.
The outside of the tent was covered with dense cobwebs, and there were holes in several places, as if it had been abandoned here for many years.
Another disappointment of pouring cold water on his head, Jiang Shan stared at the tent for a long time, and the curtain of the tent was half hung down.
……
Jiang Shan lifted the curtain of the tent. Stooped down and walked in.
For a moment, a foul smell of decay entered Jiang Shan's nostrils, and she was going to find a place to rest tonight anyway, and this tent seemed to be the only option.
After seeing the furnishings in the tent, Jiang Shan was a little shocked, all the items were still in good shape, and there was even a half-spread bedding on the ground.
The setting in this tent,...... It was as if the owner had just left.
Jiang Shan frowned, she couldn't figure out everything that happened on this mountain.
She took off her backpack and threw it on the floor, choking on the flying dust.
Then she counted all the supplies, and when she arrived, she brought all the water and food from the hotel room, and if she couldn't find the tour, she would have enough to eat for three days at most.
Jiang Shan couldn't help but pick up the old camera again, this camera only has two buttons, and it is easy to operate.
Jiang Shan pressed the red one and turned it on.
The first photo is a sweet photo of a young couple, with a bright background and intimate movements. I don't know my sorrow without heart or lungs.
Jiang Shan pressed another button, and the photo turned the page.
It can be seen that this young couple likes to take pictures very much, as small as holding a flower, they have to change to more than a dozen different poses to take countless photos, and the whole journey is recorded on this camera in every detail.
Suddenly, a photo popped out without warning, and Jiang Shan's hand stopped turning the page.
An unfamiliar face appeared in the photo, and it is not right to say that it is strange, because this photo is the face of the tour guide, Xiao Chen.
In the photo, Xiao Chen seemed to inadvertently turn around and look at the couple.
There was still a smile on the first face, and then it turned to the second, still in the same pose, except that the smile on the face seemed a little stiff.
Jiang Shan flipped to the third one, and Xiao Chen's face was already in a close-up state, appearing in the photo.
At this point, there was no smile on his face, all of them were dull. He stared straight at the camera.
As if he saw something.
Jiang Shan slowly, turned to the fourth one, and still slapped Xiao Chen's face, at this time, the expression on his face turned a little hideous, slightly distorted.
Jiang Shan's fingers stopped on the page-turning button, and he didn't press it down for a long time.
There is a strange weirdness in this photo, why did the slick and sophisticated tour guide show such an expression?
Is it intentional?
Jiang Shan pressed the page turn button again, and in this one, Xiao Chen's face was almost a close-up, because the focus seemed to be constantly being pulled closer.
In this one, Xiao Chen also raised a hand, which seemed to be pointing ahead.
The look of horror on his face became clearer, and for a moment there was a kind of horror distortion.
Jiang Shan stared at Xiao Chen's expression on the photo for a long time, because the expression on Xiao Chen's face was so real, and the fear seemed to overflow the photo and even infect Jiang Shan.
If Xiao Chen deliberately made this kind of expression, then he can really be comparable to the actor.
At this time, the camera showed that there were still the last three photos.
Jiang Shan adjusted his breathing slightly, and slowly pressed the page turn button again......
In the next photo, Xiao Chen actually maintained almost the same posture as the previous one, his hand stiffly pointed ahead, but this time, his fingers were almost aimed at the camera, and his eyes were also straight to the ground, in Jiang Shan's perspective, as if Xiao Chen was looking through the photo - looking at her.
