It was still the same, a group of frozen ghosts without any trace of life sitting around the campfire.
It's just that their team is a little bigger than before, with a total of nine ghosts. The kind-hearted brother who gave me biscuits that I met at the beginning has also become one of them.
What surprised me a little was that this big brother seemed to still have an impression of me. When the ghosts turned to look at us, only his face showed a hint of surprise, but then it returned to that numb expression.
"Why do I feel like something's not right with these people?"
Wang Zikun glanced at them a few times: "Why are these people so lifeless? There is no life at all, and black smoke is coming out of their bodies. What is going on?"
"Hey, it's so cold in the mountains, it probably froze all the Yang Qi away."
While I was fooling Wang Zikun, I dragged him to the frozen ghosts and said hello: "There are so many people? Everyone, are you camping in the mountains, or are you lost in the back mountains like us?"
No one answered me, but I could clearly feel the elder brother trembling while I was speaking.
I didn’t expect anyone to answer: “Well, friends, my brothers and I have been freezing in the mountains for half the night, and we really can’t stand it anymore. You happen to have a fire here, can you let us sit down and have a barbecue with you?
?”
Still no one answered me.
It was just that the leading female ghost moved her butt to the side. As soon as she moved, all the frozen ghosts in the circle moved to the back and side, just enough to make room for Wang Zikun and me to sit down.
"Thank you, thank you all."
I took Wang Zikun and sat down next to the female ghost, and then we both lit a cigarette: "Oh, I won't be able to climb up the back mountain again next time, especially the black pine forest, you can't see clearly at night.
Road.
Brothers, are you all together? How long have you been sitting here? Although my mobile phone is out of battery, the GPS is still working. How about we take a companion and walk together when it gets dark later? "
As soon as he heard this, the elder brother understood what was going on.
From the corner of my eye, I saw him looking up at me furtively, with a very troubled expression on his face, as if he wanted to say something, but maybe he was afraid of the female ghost next to me, so after hesitating for a long time, he finally failed to say that sentence.
Seeing him like this, I sighed: "Hey, Taishan and I are really at odds with each other. I got lost here once a few years ago. I even lost my cotton clothes and only had a thin woolen sweater on me.
Fortunately, I met a kind brother on the mountain. He brought me milk and biscuits, and even gave me the chicken drumsticks in his bag. Unfortunately, we didn’t leave any contact information, and I don’t know how he is doing now.
"
This eldest brother has only been a ghost for a few years, and he has obviously not completely lost his mind yet. My muttered sighs almost made him cry.
Wang Zikun glared at me: "Why are you so nagging? Why don't people ignore you without looking at you?"
"Hey, no one is talking, isn't it? I want to liven up the atmosphere."
After saying this, I took a deep breath of cigarette: "Brother Kun, let me tell you a story."
"Tell silly stories, tell stories, I don't want to hear them."
Wang Zikun looked impatient: "I wonder if you squat down here to fuck the chicken feathers and lead me over to poop?"
"This nagging, I'm not asking for your opinion. You have to say it whether you want to hear what I have to say or not."
I casually flicked the remaining half of the cigarette into the fire. Looking at the cigarette butt that was extinguished instantly, I slowly told Wang Zikun as if talking to myself: "I once met a thing on Mount Tai.
Strange thing, just like now, a group of people gathered around the fire to warm up, and I joined in the fun.
But that fire thief is so damn amazing. People keep the fire getting hotter and hotter, but the fire I met that day got colder and hotter. In the end, my hands were so cold that they were numb and I lost my intuition.
Something didn't feel right, so I ran out on the pretext of peeing. Later, I asked Qingqing, and Qingqing told me that in fact, what I met was not a human being at all, but a group of frozen ghosts.
She said those ghosts who froze to death were particularly wicked, because they froze to death and had resentments in their hearts. They were unwilling to reincarnate, so they just wanted to attract more people to support them. Often in the cold winter, they would light a fire in the wild to pretend to keep themselves warm.
, luring passers-by to join them.
Those who were seduced did not know that the fire did not exist at all. They were greedy for warmth and were unwilling to leave the fire. As a result, the heat in their bodies slowly lost, and they eventually ended up freezing to death."
While I was saying these words, all the eyes of the frozen ghosts around me were turned towards me.
Their faces were ashen, and they were staring at them with more than a dozen dead fish-like eyes. The scene was somewhat scary.
After all, he had never experienced anything like this before. After seeing their movements, Wang Zikun began to tremble a little when he spoke: "Don't push me, Gu Yan. Just raise your head and take a look. Is he the one you said was freezing to death?"
"I know."
"Knowing that you still brought me here?"
"Nonsense, didn't I just say that I want to teach you a lot of knowledge and practice your courage?"
After saying this, I stood up holding my knees and looked at the big brother's face: "Hey, long time no see, big brother, are you still holding that chicken drumstick in your hiking bag? It must have been stored for a few years and has already expired.
"
The corner of the elder brother's mouth twitched: "Brother, you ran away back then, why did you come back?"
When it said this, several frozen ghosts nearby also stood up and surrounded me and Wang Zikun.
"Hey, I happened to be passing by. Didn't I come back to save you because I thought of you?"
I smiled at my elder brother, and then the leading female ghost also spoke: "I remember you. I thought you were lucky that day. I didn't expect you to come back and seek death."
"How many people have lost their last name because of your madness?"
I shook my head at him, and then asked Wang Zikun: "You have no problem dealing with these brats, right? I'll go and have a few words with my big brother."
"It's not a problem. Just roll up the sleeves on Zhen Yuan Yun's arms and hit them."
Wang Zikun was a little speechless and rolled his eyes: "But I don't know magic. I can't keep them if they run away."
"It's okay. I'm standing here. None of them can escape today."
After saying this, I went straight to my elder brother.
At that time, the little devil closest to me wanted to come over and get on me, but the moment it touched my body, it screamed "ah" and was ejected far away with smoke rising from its body.
This is because I held back and took back the body-protecting essence in advance, otherwise it would have been destroyed long ago.
Seeing that I couldn't afford to offend him, none of the frozen ghosts dared to act rashly.
But what I didn't expect was that after a few seconds of silence, the female ghost in the lead actually started to threaten me: "I haven't improved my skills in a few years. Boy, just wait, I will find someone to deal with you now!"
