Chapter 101 Fire Listening Nematodes
I said why this boss lady is so enthusiastic? She turned out to be a business.
However, since there are locals leading the way, it is definitely much more convenient than finding the past with us on the map, so I asked tentatively:
"Boss, if we want to explore the Western Zhou Dead City in the Qinling Mountains, will you lead the way?"
When the boss heard the five words "Dead City" around, the smile on her face disappeared instantly. She looked at me and Qimeng with a serious face and said:
"I said two young men, I advise you not to go to the Dead City of the Western Zhou Dynasty, which is not a place to play casually. Maybe you will lose your life in it!"
"If we don't go in, we just want to go around the city of Dead, take a few photos to satisfy our curiosity and go back." I said.
After hearing my words, the boss's wife kept shaking her head and waving her hands:
"That's not OK. That place is really not a joke. Let me tell you the truth..." The boss said and leaned over and lowered his voice:
"The Western Zhou Dead Man City is not clean, there are monsters that specialize in human brains. If I say this, don't think you are scaring you. A few years ago, there were a few people in our village who didn't believe in evil and insisted on going to the Western Zhou Dead Man City to find antiques. That's great. None of them came back alive." The boss said, pointing out the window:
"Did you see the old lady sitting in front of the door? One of them is his son. He went to the Dead City five years ago. After that, the person never came back. Until now, the old lady is still waiting for his son to come back. People are not clear-headed. Oh... so I kindly advise you to live well and never commit suicide."
At this time, Qimeng also said to me:
"The boss's wife is right. Otherwise, let's not go, just take a look around."
"Okay. Boss, or you ask your family to take us to the Qinling Mountains, and then we will stroll by ourselves, take a few photos and leave." As soon as I finished speaking, Wang Daming and others were whispering to each other outside.
After hearing Wang Daming's voice, I immediately became alert, pulled out the scraper, and walked out.
Wang Daming was locked outside the hotel with a dog chain by me. In front of him, an old man was approaching him and talking to him about something.
Seeing this, I ran over immediately and shouted to the old man:
"Uncle, stay away from him. He is mentally ill. Be careful to bite you!"
When the old man heard me shouting, he was startled and quickly took several steps back and kept a distance from Wang Daming.
Qimeng and I were outside staring at Wang Daming for a while, and then the proprietress took his husband out of the hotel.
I walked over and untied Wang Daming from the iron pillar, and Qimeng fed some food to the tiger. At this time, the boss drove an electric tricycle from the yard and drove us, a dog and a cat, to the south mountain of Qinling Mountain.
On the way, the boss didn't speak, but he always looked back at Qimeng from time to time, which made me extremely disgusted.
However, the boss drove very fast. In less than twenty minutes, he went to Nanshan. Seeing that the tricycle could not pass by, the boss stopped the car and looked at us and said with a smile:
"I'm fine, I can only send you here. You can go and take photos quickly. I'll wait for you to come back after taking photos, and I'll send you down."
I helped Qimeng jump out of the truck bucket, and then Qimeng handed me one hundred yuan.
I handed the money to the boss and said to him:
"Boss, thank you. You can go back first. We don't know when we will play."
The boss took the money from me and glanced at Qimeng again. Before leaving, he left a few words:
"If you really want to go to the Western Zhou Dead City, you can't go. Have you seen that path? Follow it all the way south and you can see a historical site protection station, inside which is an old man named Zhou. You can ask Old Zhou to take you around in a safe place."
This sentence made me feel that a hundred yuan was not spent in vain.
After the boss left, Wang Daming, who had been led by me, stopped leaving. He squatted on the ground and looked at me and said:
"Wang Cheng, it's time now. We all understand people. Just say it, you have taken me to this deep mountain with great difficulty. Do you want to kill me?"
Seeing that Wang Daming and I made it clear, I confessed to him:
"It's really not to kill you. At most, I will throw you into the Western Zhou Dead City and trap you in it."
Hearing me say this, Wang Daming glared at me and didn't say anything again. He deliberately made a reluctant expression and stood up from the ground.
Actually, I know what plan he is thinking at this time. He must be thinking, as long as I don’t do anything, how could he be trapped in that dead city, just a living person?
But he missed a little. I want to avenge my sister, so how could he have the life to escape from the dead city?
Qimeng and I took Wang Daming and Lao Hu, and walked south along the small path in the mountains.
In front of me is a broad-leaved forest with lush branches and leaves. The sunlight is almost blocked by the leaves and cannot be shined in. Before I could enter this broad-leaved forest, I smelled a rotten smell, which was very damp.
Walking further inside, there are hanging branches on the tree in front, and the leaves growing on them are narrow and thin, like cicada wings.
There are not many people walking in this kind of place, and the path under your feet is almost buried by fallen leaves, and you can't even see clearly. Looking around, it's the same again. You can only rely on the compass to determine the direction and continue walking south.
On the way, I kept thinking about how to take Wang Daming and Qimeng apart. Qimeng is a girl who is beautiful. To be honest, no matter where I put her, I don’t feel at ease.
After thinking about it, the only one of the ancient monument protection stations in front is suitable.
I could only throw Qimeng there first, and then I took Wang Daming to find the Western Zhou Dead City.
You must not let Qimeng go in with me. It is too risky. If something happens to her, I will never forgive myself for the rest of my life.
Just as I was thinking about these questions, Qimeng suddenly grabbed my arm.
I turned around and was about to ask her what was wrong, but she stretched out her finger and made a move to silence me, and immediately pointed at my feet.
Looking in the direction Qimeng pointed, there was a pit not far from my feet. When I looked into the pit, there was a chubby white creature lying inside.
The creature's skin was sticky, like a layer of mucus stuck to it. It was impossible to see its head, but its stomach was bulging and deflated.
"What is this?" I asked in a low voice.
"It seems to be a fire-listening nematode. This kind of insect is very dangerous. They like to drill into people's heads and suck people's brain marrow. Let's go around it." Qimeng said and grabbed my hand. Only then did I realize that all the palms of her hands were covered with cold sweat!
There is a thick layer of fallen leaves on the ground. Even if we walk slowly and gently, there will be a lot of noise in this quiet forest.
