Chapter 13 The Woods in the Daytime

"Oh, that's right?" Qian Chuanzi responded weakly. He looked obviously not convinced what I said, but I didn't care at all. Anyway, these words were just casual words, and I didn't even believe them myself.

Time passed minute by minute, and the white ghost was still guarding the edge of the open space, staring at us fiercely. In order to pass this difficult night, Qian Chuanzi and I chatted indifferently. First, we recalled the past, then looked forward to the future, and in the end we didn't even know what we were talking about.

Accompanied by countless nonsense, we finally saw a slight light appearing on the eastern skyline. The dark night began to fade away quickly. Almost at this moment, all the ghosts in the woods suddenly disappeared.

Seeing this scene, Qian Chuanzi and I felt nervous all night and relaxed. What followed was irresistible sleepiness. Our head was drowsy, and our eyelids couldn't help but hang down. We looked in the direction of Qian Chuanzi in a daze and found that this guy's reaction was faster than me, and he had fallen asleep on the ground.

Although I know that I am still in danger and should not sleep so unpreparedly, the extreme sleepiness has made me unable to control my thinking. The last thought in my mind is, "It is worth it to be able to sleep peacefully and steadily."

The scenery in front of me gradually changed. It was in my home. The dining table was already set up, and there were a large table of delicious food. Qian Chuanzi, a shameless thing, was already sitting at the table and eating, and his mouth was filled with oil. "You don't even say hello to me when you come to my house to eat." I was angry and rushed over in a few steps, reached out and grabbed the chopsticks on the table and inserted it hard. A piece of braised pork with bright red color and fat and thinness was inserted. The heat of this piece of meat was just right. There was a trembling feeling when it was inserted into the chopsticks. You could tell at a glance that it was grandma's skill. If you took a bite, it would definitely be so fragrant that it was forgotten. My dad dared to ignore him even when he came.

The right hand moved the chopsticks quickly, and the left hand reached under the meat to guard it carefully. A piece of braised braised rice with the best taste was about to be delivered to me with my mouth. At this happy moment, a hand suddenly popped out from behind and slapped the chopsticks in my hand to the ground.

The meat that was about to eat into my mouth was actually knocked away. This was definitely something that made me more angry than the hatred of taking my wife. "You are looking for death!" I roared and turned around, punched me, and then I was stunned for a moment, the roar and fist stopped abruptly, because behind me was the terrifying skeleton on the top of the mountain.

"I'm going to kill you! I'm going to kill you!" The skeleton roared fiercely. Its pronunciation was both dull and awkward, and it sounded like an iron piece slashed across the glass. It felt extremely harsh and uncomfortable all over.

But the sound was like magic, making my body unable to move at all. I could only watch the skeleton's slow stretch of big hand stuck my neck, and then directly lifted my whole body up. I could only grab the skeleton's flesh-free arm and struggled in vain.

"Ah-----!" I sat up from the ground screaming, my hands and feet were still dancing. After more than ten seconds, I finally calmed down completely. I found myself sitting in the clearing ground in the woods in cold sweat, without braised pork, and there were no skeletons. I just had a terrible dream.

"Actually, the dream just now was not very scary, at least the first half was very happy." I sat on the ground, savoring the delicious food I dreamed of, and also remembering my relatives at home. I wonder what my disappearance would make my family anxious? I don't know if I can see them in my life.

Since I was a child, I didn’t feel much about my family and relatives. It was like tap water in a faucet. Although I couldn’t live without it, I never cared about it. It was not until now that I realized how important they are to me. This is what people often say, ‘Only when I lose it, I will know how to cherish it’. At this moment, I truly felt the feeling of heartache, and it turned out that my heart really hurts.

Gently wiped away the tears from the corners of my eyes, trying to calm my mind, then looked up at the sky and found that the sun was hanging high above my head, looking like it was almost noon.

When I thought of noon, my stomach started to yell, and looked at the lifeless Shulin, and smiled helplessly. It was estimated that the problem of eating would not be able to be solved in a short period of time.

Qian Chuanzi was still lying on the ground and sleeping soundly. His snoring sounded throughout the sky, his mouth was whispering constantly, and his face was filled with a satisfied smile. Judging from his attitude, he obviously saw something delicious in his dream, and it was not ordinary delicious, at least at the level of the Manchu and Han banquet.

I can't bear to disturb Qian Chuanzi's dream, but I have to do this again. After all, this ghost place is really unsafe and we need to leave as soon as possible. As for whether it will be more dangerous in the front, I have no idea. The current situation can only be taken one step at a time.

"Get up! Wake up!" I gently shook Qian Chuanzi's shoulders, "Well", Qian Chuanzi agreed vaguely, and then pushed my hand away with the action of catching flies while sleeping, then turned over and continued to sleep. "Qian Chuanzi, it's time to eat!" I put in his ear and shouted loudly.

I don’t know if it was because my voice was loud enough or the word “jumping” touched him, but after calling Qian Chuanzi, he immediately sat up, “Boss, what are we eating?” Qian Chuanzi rubbed his eyes and asked in a daze, “I’m going to stew you, it should be enough for me to eat for half a month.” I pretended to be fierce.

Qian Chuanzi looked around and then came to his senses. He sighed heavily, "Oh! The roast duck was just brought up, and you woke up without eating a bite." "Okay! You had eaten twice in your dream." "I only had one meal in my dream." "You also had one meal in my dream." "Boss, do you dream of something delicious too? What did you eat in your dream?" "I didn't eat anything!" I said angrily.

During the day, the woods returned to the terrible silence. After experiencing last night's incident, Qian Chuanzi and I already knew the truth. We naturally felt fear of the surrounding trees and tried our best to avoid them when walking. However, there are such terrible strange trees everywhere, and it is impossible to completely avoid them. The only thing we can do is not touch them.

Fortunately, these trees are really honest during the day. It seems that apart from the ability to hide ghosts in the trunks, these trees have not developed other terrible skills, so along the way, they have not caused any substantial damage except to make us nervous.

And this process also made me realize something that was happy, that is, the silver ball stuck to my right hand disappeared. The word disappear may not be accurate, because I could clearly feel that the ball was slowly integrating into my body, but it did not make me feel uncomfortable. After the money skewers were entered into my head by the white ball, I didn't feel uncomfortable. I vaguely felt that both of us did not eat or drink all day, but we were still able to travel alive, which seemed to be related to these two things. Of course I don't know what it had. Anyway, judging from the current situation, it should be a good thing.

After walking for an afternoon of all my might, the mountains in the target were still in a distant state. When the beautiful scenery of the setting sun appeared in the distant sky again, the problem of how to spend the night became a difficult problem that needs to be solved as soon as possible.

My experience last night was so terrifying. When I think of those white ghosts, I feel my heart tight, my chest is stuffy, my throat is blocked, and I am almost scared to get sick. When I think of the same plot tonight, I even feel like I die.

But looking at the endless woods ahead and the gradually dim sky, I could only grit my teeth and prepare to spend the night in the woods. I hope that the ghosts here have heard about what happened last night and don’t scare us again. However, this kind of wish seems difficult to achieve. There are big trees in front, back, left and right. The ones closest to the ones can be touched by raising their hands. The ghosts hidden inside can collide with us face-to-face as soon as they go out tonight.

"Is there only the open space in such a big forest last night? Even smaller ones are fine!" I held my last hope and looked around while rushing, but wherever I could see, there were big trees. Until it was completely dark, I didn't see a place suitable for overnight stays.

Just when I was about to fall into despair, I suddenly found a trace of abnormality. Some big trees more than ten meters away seemed a little different. Although judging from the shape of branches and leaves, these big trees were completely the same as other trees in the woods, these big trees grew very tall and thick, and felt very conspicuous in this woods.

"Did we meet **oss in the woods?" I was startled and stopped quickly, and at the same time reached out and pulled Qian Chuanzi. Qian Chuanzi was the same as I had just now, looking around to find the place to stay tonight, but suddenly being pulled by me made him startled.

"Boss, what's wrong!" Qian Chuanzi asked nervously, "Look at the front," I said in a low voice, "What's wrong with the front?" Qian Chuanzi said while speaking, "Boss, there is nothing in front except the trees! What did you see? Tell me quickly! Don't scare me!" "Look at whether the trees in front are thicker and larger than other trees?" "It seems that this is true. I don't know if the ghosts hidden there are also thicker and larger than other ghosts." Qian Chuanzi said to himself, and then suddenly was scared by his own words. "Boss, we won't be so unlucky, right?" "I should know if it's unlucky or not." "Boss, why don't we leave here quickly?" "It's probably too late now." I turned around and looked around.
