Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Strange Forest
"Why don't we go over by ourselves, and let my cousin come and pick us up, how troublesome is this?"
Faintly thinking of something, Liu Tao asked tentatively.
"Because I don't know how to go down the road, I have to ask someone else to pick me up. ”
Liu Fang said calmly, "Your grandfather didn't tell me how to go down the road. ”
Liu Tao sighed, and he didn't know what to say.
What do you say, is this a typical trick of power scheme?
The small clearing between the tunnels and the trees fell silent for a moment, until there was a soft clatter in the woods.
"Someone's coming?"
Liu Tao hurriedly put on his shoes and looked in the direction where the sound came.
The scene that caught his eye made Liu Tao stunned for a while.
It was indeed his cousin Liu Tong who came, but the way was completely different from what he imagined.
I saw five short figures, a strong tendon meat, carelessly shirtless, the whole person was fierce, like a lazy lion Liu Tong, but he was carried over.
He was not injured and unable to walk, but purely lazy, because he was carried by two black, thin, silent, sad and numb middle-aged middle-aged sedan men with injuries, which made people feel a little shocking when they saw it.
Liu Tong was strong and powerful, and he was only eighteen or nineteen years old, but he was standing on a soft and comfortable rattan chair, so proud that he was carried over, but there was no trace of guilt on his face, and he was completely proud.
What's even more unbelievable is that the two sedan chair drivers were a little careless, walked a little slower, or had a little shaking or something, and the dissatisfied Liu Tong would immediately whip him mercilessly.
The sharp-eyed Liu Tao easily discovered that the injuries on the bodies of these two palanquin men were really new injuries and old wounds, stacked on top of each other like patches, but they had been tortured for I don't know how long.
Such a scene was beyond Liu Tao's imagination, and the figure of the cousin who was still quite honest, silent, and slightly short-tempered in his impression instantly became blurred, hideous, and even a little terrifying.
In the outside world, in addition to film and television works, how has Liu Tao ever seen such a scene?
The words that his father told him before also crossed his heart in an instant, Liu Tao, who was still a little disapproving, instantly knew that he wanted to be bad, the outside was his own world, the cousin who had the impression of him, after leaving his familiar environment, I am afraid that what he showed was not his true face, and now that he has fallen into the world of others, I am afraid that he really has to pick up his tail and be a man, otherwise he may really have to suffer some hardships.
Liu Tao, who had still stepped forward to greet him, stopped his pace in an instant, stood silently behind his father, and waited for the two to finish negotiating, thinking about looking at the wind direction before making further calculations.
Whether it is to show closeness, or to stay away or something, you have to think clearly before acting, otherwise I am afraid that I will inevitably be "whipped".
"It's uncle?"
Liu Tong, who was lying lazily on the sedan chair, saw that the person who came was Liu Fang, and his heart that was still a little eager suddenly went out, and it was inconvenient for the family to enter and exit the secret place, and someone came in, more or less able to bring some rare things from the outside world, these things, not only the necessities of life that the serfs in Zhuangzi were most eager for and lacked, but also some daily necessities and entertainment products, even Liu Tong was quite coveted.
Everything in this Zhuangzi is good, and the one who is powerful and blessed can better satisfy some special habits of human beings, but in the end, it is more bitter, and the elderly can endure loneliness, Liu Tong is a little dissatisfied.
Liu Tong's biggest motivation for work is this, but when he saw that it was his uncle, he also knew that this was not a blackmail character, and he couldn't help but feel a little stupid in his heart.
"Stop, stop, don't have long eyes!", he shouted impatiently as the sedan chair man stopped the sedan chair, a little reluctant to get off the sedan chair, and walked to Liu Fang and smiled reluctantly, "Uncle, why did you come in at this time today, you have worked hard all the way, can you sit on this sedan chair?"
"Well, Xiaotong has a heart, that's your beloved thing, and Uncle won't sit down. Come, this is your cousin Taozi, you have to live in Zhuangzi for a few days during this time, you have to help my uncle take care of me more, don't let your brother Taozi be bullied by others. ”
Liu Fang said with a kind face, his face tensed in a blink of an eye, and he raised his eyebrows at Liu Tao and said, "Thank you little copper brother for not being angry!"
"Yo, it's really Brother Taozi, why didn't you say hello in advance, look at me, I don't have any preparations, I remember the last time I met Brother Taozi, I invited me to rub a few times, I saw a lot of the world, the hospitality is not good, it is really not well entertained!"
Liu Tong showed an exaggerated smile on his face, and said a few polite words without being salty, and there was obviously a little impatience in his tone.
The Liu family of the same generation, counting him as the most favored, he was still scruples when he was outside, but when he got here, he didn't want to serve anyone, so he barely said a few perfunctory words, and then moved his feet and prepared to go back.
This is not good, this is a key person, and it has to be co-opted.
Liu Tao thought for a moment, took out a brand new mobile phone from his backpack, and sent a smart tablet away, "Xiaotong, my brother came in a hurry, and I didn't care about getting any good things, these two are the latest styles, and there are a lot of games and animations downloaded in it, which is a trivial meeting gift, don't dislike it." ”
Liu Tong pounced on him and took it, looked at it for a while, and suddenly smiled from ear to ear, seeing Liu Tao instantly became pleasing to his eyes, and patted his chest vigorously and said, "Brother Taozi is still particular, if there is anything in the future, you just come to me, I cover you, whoever dares to bully you just report my name, see if I don't kill him!"
Liu Tao, who heard these words again, trembled in his heart, this kid is so murderous, can't he really kill people?
In short, after some greetings, Liu Tong took the lead, and the group entered the forest.
The forest is densely planted, there are many species, poisonous insects and beasts are by no means uncommon, but under the guidance of Liu Tong, they all turned around, and they all avoided the past unconsciously, and the road was smooth sailing, without any danger.
Liu Tao had already been dizzy, he now felt the same everywhere he looked, and he couldn't tell the difference between southeast and northwest for a long time.
What surprised him even more was that after arriving at this ghost place, it seemed that even the invisible exploration army behind him had been crushed in some way, and his ability to move was greatly restricted, and some of the tentacles that explored the past around had lost contact silently.
Even the signal communication between Liu Tao and the organizational system, if it were not for a series of contact nodes that continuously enhance the transmission between signals, I am afraid that it would have been isolated long ago.
This made Liu Tao can't help but mutter, what is the origin of this family secret in his family, and how to learn more about it, the more mysterious he feels.
The mysterious scientific and technological means of the organization have been faintly restrained, which is really unimaginable.
This inexplicable forest actually has such a great power, and I have lived near my hometown for a long time, but I have never heard of such a place, it seems that there are some mysterious and mysterious names here.
Along the way, with a lot of doubts in his belly, Liu Tao patiently talked with Liu Tong, although Liu Tong was short-tempered and had poor patience, but under his untraceable praise and inquiry, he still revealed some information about this place.
It turns out that where this forest is, the family is not very clear, as early as a few decades ago, after the family got this secret place, it was also in the outside world to find some clues about its existence, but after a few years of hard work, I walked all over the mountains and rivers near my hometown, and I didn't find any clues similar to this forest.
It is precisely because of the concealment of the family's secret place that it is regarded as the family's last asset, and the biggest secret is carefully guarded and used, becoming the family's last dependence.
This forest is not only difficult to find from the outside world, but also more mysterious, if you don't know the laws and principles of walking here, you will also encounter all kinds of dangerous and mysterious phenomena, such as some strange creatures, poisonous obstacles, and even delirious hallucinations.
Liu Tongshen mysteriously told Liu Tao that there were many people who died here, and now the family faintly found some legendary things in the forest, such as some zombies, some ghosts, some mountain spirits and ghosts, etc., which are not available in the outside world, and they are occasionally found in this forest.
Some time ago, there was a Zhuang Ding in the Zhuangzi who was lost in the forest, and he didn't go far, and then he struggled to run out, but when the old man saw it, he said that he couldn't do it, he had been bitten by the dirty things in the forest, and he couldn't stay in the Zhuangzi, so he was sent out overnight.
Liu Tong has always been bold, he has never heard of it, but he has never seen this kind of legendary dirty thing, so he instigated a group of people to put the dying Zhuang Ding on the edge of the forest, and the group of people hid far away to see what would happen.
I didn't want to wait until after midnight, and sure enough, something happened.
After a terrifying howl in the forest, Zhuang Ding, who had been bitten to the point of only one breath, jumped up and jumped into the forest, and never came out again.
According to Liu Tong, this is what he saw with his own eyes, and there is no trace of falsehood.
