The summer in the mountains seems to have passed long ago, and it is already afternoon. Walking in the deep primeval forest, the dark tentacles of the thousand-year-old ancient trees interact in the air, making people feel the coolness of autumn.

The weird old man looked a little unkind and ignored everyone. As he walked, he walked alone in front.

The area near Mihuntang of Wawu Mountain is rarely visited by people, and Shangfen Village was abandoned a few years ago, so there was no road in the depths of the jungle. We basically drove the way in the bushes, and the process was very slow.

When we were asking about Shangfen Village at the foot of the mountain, someone warned us not to go there because there were many snakes in this forest and some people in the nearby villages were injured by it.

But after walking for most of the day, except for being bitten by the flowers and mosquitoes in the mountains, we didn't even see a rabbit.

I was so tired that no one asked for a break, so I could only follow the big army forward with the help of the troops.

At this time, Xiang Yu suddenly turned around and said to Zhang Jisheng: "No, all the mosquitoes are having dinner together on me... I want to stop and spray mosquito repellent water on my clothes."

After hearing this, Zhang Jisheng said that he would take a break and drink some water.

I found a stone to sit down, picked up a kettle and drank a few times. Looking at the primeval forest that covered the sky and said to Zhang Jisheng: "If we can't find Shangfen Village before dark, then it might be a bit dangerous for us to stay overnight in this forest."

Suddenly, for some reason, everyone stared at me without saying a word. I felt that this sentence was not wrong. Just when I looked confused, Xiangyu pointed to the back of me.

When I looked back, I saw nothing but the weeds that were trampled by us.

Everyone's faces looked particularly ugly, and Xiangyu's mouth seemed to be trembling.

At this time, I suddenly felt a chill in my neck.

It seemed that some creature was hovering around my neck.

snake!

I suddenly realized.

Just when everyone was at a loss, the old man made a gesture to me that he would not move.

I stood there, holding my breath, and let the coldness on my neck spread to my ears in various shapes and hover to my head, for fear of disturbing it.

The "hiss" sound came in my ears.

When I was on the snake's head, I quietly turned my eyes and glanced up. A cold sweat suddenly appeared on my back. I felt dizzy and my heart suddenly jumped into my throat.

I saw two snake heads on my head, but there was only one snake crawling against me, so why did there be two snake heads?

Could it be that I met the legendary two-headed snake monster?

Moreover, judging from the outskirts of the corner of my eyes, this should be a white snake.

The old man slowly moved in my direction, and stopped every step he moved, as if he was afraid that the white snake would be discovered.

As he slowly approached me, I obviously felt the two-headed white snake above my head becoming anxious.

The old man stopped about half a meter away from me. He raised the branch in his hand and quickly picked up the backpack behind me. In an instant, the coldness disappeared.

My legs suddenly became weak, and I watched the silver-white tail disappear into the bushes, and my head was sweating like rain.

"Has it... gone?" Xiangyu looked at me a little sigh, then looked at the old man, and asked in a low voice.

"Let's go," the old man said coldly, throwing me a bottle of something.

I reached out to catch it, and then looked at him with a confused look on his face.

"This is pipe oil, apply a little on the branches, and this thing can drive away all kinds of insects." The old man explained coldly.

Wang Zhishui came over, unscrewed the bottle in my hand, and said with a smile: "Old sir, if you have these good things in the future, please take them out and share them as soon as possible."

The old man snorted coldly, "If you can't find the village before dark and stay overnight in this jungle, there will be more dangers waiting for us. At that time, this thing will not save you." After he said that, he ignored us and walked straight into the depths of the jungle.

After hearing this, we all rushed to apply pipe oil on the branches in our hands, then sorted out what we had and followed closely behind the old man.

At this time, I took advantage of the sunset and saw a group of people on the top of the mountain on our right. Looking at it, it didn’t look like a tourist group, but it seemed like I was also looking for the feeling of a deserted village. The mountain was not high, and I could vaguely tell that it seemed to be a few foreigners.

We walked around the jungle for a long time, and the sky became dark for a moment.

"Jisheng, look, is that dark place the Shangfen Village?" Xiangyu suddenly stopped and pointed to the bottom of the valley and asked.

We followed the direction of Xiangyu's finger and found a small village.

The village was built at the bottom of the valley, which was a bit beyond my expectations, as it would be dangerous during the rainy season.

"Xiao Xiangyu is different without glasses, her eyes are so sharp." Wang Zhishui said to Xiangyu.

Along the way, he had already become very familiar with us, talking and laughing, and even gave Xiangyu a nickname.

Wang Zhishui, who was in his early forties, seemed to be younger than his actual age in both mentality and appearance. I asked Zhang Jisheng privately why Professor Wang also participated in this project. Zhang Jisheng said that when he applied to the province to continue researching this project, the superior arranged such a person to participate. In fact, he was not familiar with Wang Zhishui and had only met several times in school.

The ugly old man had a stern face all the way, and finally spoke: "That's it." As he said that, he walked down the slope and we hurriedly followed.

After descending into the valley, we found that the small village was wrapped in a cliff that was towering into the clouds. The tree crowns on the cliffs were lush and branches covered most of the sun, causing the temperature in the valley to drop several degrees, and even in the summer, it emitted a cold and cold.

We found a stone tablet next to the entrance of the village on a flat ground with weeds, with the three words "Shangfen Village" engraved on it.

Finally found it, my legs sat down on the stone tablet platform as if filled with lead.

When I looked forward, I saw broken walls and ruins, and the scenery was full of desolation. It was the situation that the village should have been burned by a fire.

"Sir," Zhang Jisheng took out a military kettle from his backpack, unscrewed the bottle mouth, and handed it to the ugly old man, "It's getting dark. Should we take a rest in this deserted village first, or go to find the entrance to the Ecstasy Letter?"

The ugly old man took the kettle, drank a sip of water, and faced the entrance of the village, but he was wearing sunglasses, and I couldn't see his expression: "First find a place in the village to rest for a night. As for finding the entrance to the Misty Pond, it's still early."

The ugly old man was so sarcastic that he threw the kettle to Professor Wang who happened to be next to him and walked towards the village.

Wang Zhishui waved to us and followed us into the village.

We exchanged glances and followed them behind.

Time is approaching dusk, and we are at the bottom of the valley, so it is not long after we enter the deserted village that night comes.

We found a house in the village that was not burned too much, and set up a tent inside. After two days of hard work and crossing mountains and rivers, I felt sleepy as soon as I finished my meal. As soon as I got into the tent, I fell asleep in a deep sleep.
