Early the next morning, we drove to Lakshmi Village. It was probably almost noon when we arrived at the village. When we arrived at the village, there were many people gathered there. Among this group of people, I immediately saw the man and woman I met when I went down the mountain yesterday.
When we got close. He learned from the villagers that the village chief had died last night. Yesterday afternoon, after the man and woman entered the village, they went to the village chief's house to beat him up. No matter how they asked the village chief. Village Chief was still the same, looking at the sky in a daze. At this moment, the woman took out an embroidered shoe from her backpack. Then, when the village chief saw the shoes, he ran back to the house like a madman. He wrapped his head tightly with the blanket and kept saying that he was afraid.
Just like that, early in the morning, the village chief's old woman called the entire village over. When they came, they saw that the village chief had long died.
After Uncle Chen heard the villagers say this, he said to us,"Now that everyone is dead, it's useless for us to stay here. Hurry up and leave."
At this time, I really didn't want to leave. We saw the village chief yesterday and it was quite good, although he was a little dazed. But he wouldn't die so quickly. And that man and woman, what embroidered shoes did they bring to show the village chief? Besides, how could an embroidered shoe have such power to kill the village chief in one night?
"Embroidered shoes! That's right. I remember the first time we came to Lakshmi Village, the old man told us that there were two treasures in the village chief. One was a red undergarment, and the other was embroidered shoes. He even clearly said that there was only one embroidered shoe, not a pair.”I suddenly thought of this embroidered shoe.
"Uncle Chen, according to what the villagers said, the shoes in the hands of the man and woman probably came from Lakshmi Village." It's very likely that it has a lot to do with our red undergarment.”
Uncle Chen said," The most important thing for us now is to go to Qishan first. As for that man and woman, let them deal with the trouble they caused themselves.”
Since Uncle Chen said so, we will follow him to Qishan.
After leaving Lakshmi Village, we drove north. At first, we still took the main road, but the more we walked, the more desolate I felt. In the end, we couldn't even see a family. The car was running on the rugged dirt road. There were incomparably tall mountains on all sides. Our car was like a small ant, traveling through the boundless mountains.
On the third day, the car couldn't be driven because Uncle Chen said that we were about to enter the mountain. It was impossible to drive a car into the mountains. After we each carried our backpacks, we covered the car with leaves. The three of us had never been to a place like this before. After carrying our backpacks, we couldn't help but feel a little excited.
Uncle Chen took the lead and walked in front. Although Uncle Chen was old, he was only faster than us when walking on the mountain road. Uncle Chen said as he walked,"I originally wanted to live in Qishan for the rest of my life, but it's hard to defy fate."?”After saying that, Uncle Chen sighed.
Hei Zi lit a cigarette and asked Uncle Chen,"Uncle Chen, how many days do we have to walk to Qishan?"”
Chen Shuo said," I haven't been back for many years. Look at this overgrown grass. I guess it'll take two or three days to walk this way."”
After walking for a while, we finally entered the primeval forest. Because what we see when we look up is not the sun, but a towering tree. The sunlight was blocked by the leaves. It looked like evening in broad daylight. Logically speaking, there should be birds chirping and butterflies flying in such a forest. But we walked for a long time without even hearing a bird. Not to mention the butterfly dance.
Second Brother and Blackie also felt that it was strange. He asked,"Chen said, what is this place? Why can't I even see a bird?"”
After Uncle Chen heard it, he said," This is a primeval forest. I just don't know what kind of power caused the yin and yang of the birds and beasts here to be reversed." You won't see any animals during the day, but it's very lively here at night. At that time, you will have to be careful."
After hearing Uncle Chen's words, we nodded our heads in understanding. Then, he continued walking forward. However, the sky became darker as they walked. Uncle Chen looked at the sky and said to us,"Let's do it here today. Let's set up a tent and start a fire to cook.”
Finally, we can take a break. After listening to Uncle Chen, the three of us sat down at the same time as if we had discussed it beforehand. Uncle Chen smiled when he saw us like this. Then, Uncle Chen took out a fruit knife from his backpack. He used strong tape to tie the knife to the wooden stick that Uncle Chen used to walk. Then Uncle Chen cut down all the weeds around us.
We saw that Uncle Chen was already busy, so we didn't have the nerve to rest. There were two tents in his backpack. After we found a good position, we set up the tent. When they were almost done, the sky was already as dark as night. We'll light a bonfire. After eating some food, they all lay down in the tent. Uncle Chen said that we weren't strong enough, so he asked us to rest first. He kept watch for the first half of the night. They changed people in the second half of the night.
Lying behind the tent, I looked at my watch. It was only a little past five. However, in this forest, it was no different from night. Second Brother and I were in the same tent and started chatting about the recent events.
Second Brother said to me," Little Shuang, have you calmed down and thought about these things? I keep feeling that these things seem to have been arranged in advance. When I brought you to that village for the first time, Old Lady Liu gave you a notebook and then that red undergarment. We thought that Old Lady Liu would know something, but after Uncle Chen confirmed that Old Lady Liu had been dead for who knows how many years. We thought that after we saved the village chief, we would be able to find out something from him. But when we went to save the village chief, the village chief died. Then, we followed Uncle Chen to Qishan. I hope that Uncle Chen can help us clarify these things.”
After hearing what Second Brother said, I also feel that this is indeed the case. It seemed that all their hopes were now pinned on Qishan.
"Second brother, have you realized that these things seem to revolve around me? Hei Zi's ancestor, Zhang Da Gong, died after getting that red undergarment. Old Lady Liu, Old Lady Liu's son also died on this red undergarment. We've been holding onto this dudou for quite some time, but we're fine. Moreover, after we got it, Uncle Chen has been helping us. I always felt that this was a battle between two mysterious forces. We are just their chess pieces." I continued.
After hearing what I said, Second Brother replied,"Yes, your analysis is very correct. Sometimes, I feel the same way.”
When Second Brother was halfway through his sentence, a voice came from outside." Ghost Scream." Because the sound didn't seem to come from an animal. It sounded like it was crying and laughing. It made people feel nauseous after hearing it.
I walked out of the tent with Second Brother and saw Uncle Chen sitting in front of the bonfire with his eyes closed. At this time, Blackie also came out. The three of us looked at each other. "Uncle Chen, what's that sound? It's so unpleasant."”
Uncle Chen opened his eyes and said," This is the sound made by a bat-like animal when it mates. It seems that the forest is going to be lively soon." There will be more noise in a while. You guys better be mentally prepared.”
Uncle Chen narrowed his eyes again. When the three of us saw Uncle Chen like this, we didn't plan to enter the tent again. Then, he came to Uncle Chen's side and sat down around the bonfire.
"Uncle Chen, this place is really strange. Will there be ferocious animals like wolves, tigers, and leopards coming out in the middle of the night? I don't want to die in this dark forest."”
When Uncle Chen saw the three of us gathered here, he said to me very seriously,"In this forest, there are no jackals, tigers, leopards, or anything like that. There are only some insects or flying animals. They didn't know what power had changed them. Some things didn't look like insects or birds. But they couldn't see the light. Therefore, they only came out to hunt for food after the forest was dark. As long as our bonfire is not extinguished, they will not dare to approach us. So you can go to sleep in peace. We still have to travel tomorrow."
At this moment, the cries from before kept coming out from the forest. In a short while, all kinds of cries sounded. Some sounded like children laughing, some sounded like criminals screaming when they were being tortured, and some sounded like old people coughing. In any case, it was inconceivable after hearing it. The cries of these unknown creatures sounded like human voices. Those who knew that the animals here were screaming, those who didn't know would really think that there were ghosts. Only now did I understand why Uncle Chen said that he was the only one in the world who could go to Qishan. If anyone else came into this place, they would be scared half to death just by hearing this scream.
When Blackie heard this voice, he asked curiously,""Uncle Chen, what exactly is inside? This scream was really scary. Hearing this scream, they wouldn't be so desperate that they would rush over and eat them, right?”
"I don't know if they eat people or not," said Uncle Chen."I only know that if you walk out now, you will definitely die."”When Blackie heard Uncle Chen's words, he laughed dryly and looked at the bonfire.
I couldn't fall asleep listening to this group of shouts. Just listening to it was enough to scare people. How could they dare to sleep? When Uncle Chen saw that we had no intention of sleeping, he said to us,"I know you can't sleep just by looking at you. I'll go to sleep first. The three of you guard here. If anything happens, remember to shout loudly.”Uncle Chen walked into the tent without looking back. He didn't even tell us a few times.
Blackie gave us a few cigarettes. As we smoked, we said,'Admiring' the wonders of the forest: Music. Before we were even halfway through smoking the cigarette Blackie gave us, the three of us felt something watching us from above. When the three of us looked up at the same time, we saw something that we would never forget in our lives. I reckon that this scene will remain in our hearts for the rest of our lives.
Because what we saw was a pair of extremely large eyes. It was shining brightly, and the rest of the place was dark. Only that pair of eyes stared at the three of us. The three of us threw the cigarettes away and shouted at the same time,"Uncle Chen! There's a monster!" He rushed into Uncle Chen's tent.
