Anyone on the road will have more or less bizarre encounters, whether they are real or subjective judgments caused by some kind of fright. In short, there are always a lot of strange things on the road.
So as soon as the man's words came out, everyone else was eager to try, more curious than frightened. Perhaps that man could see what these people were thinking, and his voice was quite serious when he spoke, "I'm not kidding you, it's really my own experience.
Even thinking about it now makes me break out in a cold sweat."
Seeing this, everyone calmed down.
Someone asked him a little while ago, "What happened?"
Si Ye and Cheng Zhan were here, waiting calmly to hear. But in the end, the man did not describe it in detail, but just told everyone, "I didn't mean to scare you, so I don't want to mention that matter again. Everyone is here
It was fate that we met on the road. I am the one who went down the mountain. I just want to remind those who have not yet gone up the mountain to follow the established route. Especially after arriving at the base camp, you must follow the guide's arrangements."
He said "certainly" twice, with great emphasis, which made everyone else feel stressed. But everyone is also a sensible person, or maybe because they are not familiar with each other, it is inconvenient to force others to talk, so this topic
It seems to be running aground.
Cheng Zhan glanced at Si Ye.
Si Ye understood what he was thinking, and even if Cheng Zhan didn't look at him, he planned to take action. He drank the tea in the cup, stood up and walked towards the table.
A group of people were thinking about talking about other topics to liven up the atmosphere, and some of them wanted to leave. But when they didn't want to, a young man took the initiative to sit on an empty seat, put the tea cup on the table, and said with a smile, "We are all fate, please."
A cup of tea."
Most of the people here recognized him as he was sitting across from him just now.
The main reason was that the two people had outstanding temperament and appearance. There were only two tables in the whole tea shop, so it was difficult for everyone not to notice them. One of them stretched his head and glanced at Cheng Zhan, and asked Si Ye, "Is your companion coming over?"
?”
While talking, people around him poured tea for Si Ye.
Si Ye took the tea and said with a smile, "He is shy and not good at sociability."
Everyone suddenly realized.
Cheng Zhan was sitting with his back to everyone, so people at the table could not see his expression. Seeing that he was still drinking tea slowly and did not turn around to respond to everyone, they believed Si Ye.
Si Ye is handsome and talkative, and such a person will not cause psychological pressure to the other party. After just one cup of tea, the atmosphere on the table became lively again, and after two cups of tea, everyone began to talk freely.
So, Si Ye got straight to the point——
"What's your name, brother?" He looked at the man who had just told half of the story.
The man said, "I don't mind your surname being Wang."
"Brother Wang, I just accidentally overheard that you just said that you encountered something evil in a branch of the mountain range?" Si Ye asked.
Brother Wang seemed to be in his early thirties. Judging from his clothes and dark skin, he was an outdoorsman all year round. After hearing these words, he sighed, "Yes, so if you want to climb a mountain, it's like what I just said."
, be sure to listen to the guide.”
In fact, everyone else was also curious, but they couldn't ask further out of politeness.
But Si Ye happened to be the one who didn't know what to do, "Brother Wang, tell me, what happened?"
Brother Wang waved his hands repeatedly, "It's bad luck. There are still people here who haven't climbed mountains. It's not good to talk about this kind of thing."
In fact, this kind of mentality is normal. After all, when we go out, what we pay attention to is harmony. No one wants to encounter or hear bad things.
However, Si Ye blocked his mouth with his words, "Yes, it's because there are still people who haven't climbed the mountain yet, so Brother Wang, you have to talk more about it so that everyone can be mentally prepared."
Seeing the hesitation between the other party's brows, Si Ye added, "Like me, this is my first time coming to Haba. The snow-capped mountains are so big. I want to see more. Isn't there four seasons in one mountain?"
"Little brother, don't walk blindly. Let's not talk about whether there is any danger. The altitude above is high. If you walk around randomly, it will be very troublesome if the altitude sickness gets serious." Brother Wang said.
Si Ye answered the words naturally, "I'm not afraid of high blood pressure or anything like that. My lung capacity is not that big. I'm just afraid that if I don't know everything for the first time, I'll be in trouble if I go the wrong way, so Wang
Brother, just say it, just to remind me."
After hearing this, Brother Wang hesitated for a long time and looked around everyone, "You... really want to hear it?"
"Listen!"
"Of course."
"Tell me about it."
Brother Wang sighed again, "Okay, since you all want to listen, then I'll talk about it."
It can be seen that he is not trying to be mysterious. The reason why he did not want to talk about it before is indeed like what he said himself, because he was afraid of taboos.
It is said that Brother Wang is obsessed with the outdoors, especially conquering snow mountains. Before coming to Haba Snow Mountain, he had been to many snow mountains. This year he planned to take a break, so he came to Haba Snow Mountain, an entry-level snow mountain.
From the beginning, Brother Wang felt that Haba Snow Mountain was really underestimated, especially the road from the village to the base camp. It was simply a sight to behold, filled with flowers, primeval forests, trickling streams under the ice, and all four seasons of scenery.
fundus.
Going all the way to the snow-capped mountains is equivalent to walking from spring to winter. It will make you feel in a trance and you will always mistakenly think that you have been here for a whole year.
The evil thing happened after arriving at the base camp.
It was already dark at that time, and there were a total of fifteen people traveling with him. They all gathered at the base camp to rest and eat. They were about to rest one night at the base camp and climb the snow-capped mountains early the next morning.
The guide gave them numerous instructions while they were eating, saying that they must go to bed early after eating, not deviate from the established route, not walk randomly, etc.
Brother Wang's goal was just the snowy mountains. After dinner, he packed up and planned to go to bed. Unexpectedly, one of his companions came to find him and told him that Xiao Liu disappeared after going down the hillside next to the base camp.
Brother Wang has always been a solitary person when it comes to mountaineering, but he will make many friends with whom he can chat. The man who came to see him and the missing Xiao Liu are the friends he made during this trip.
Brother Wang was afraid that things would get serious, so he hurriedly found a guide. The guide was also anxious, so he took Brother Wang and Xiao Liu's friends and a group of five people went to the side branch to look for the person.
In fact, there is no difference. This was Brother Wang's thought when he followed the guide all the way to the depths.
But this is just the beginning. As we go deeper, there are more trees and weeds, more woods, and less ice and snow, much like the way they came.
I can't see the details clearly because it's too dark.
Fortunately, they found Xiao Liu in a mountain col. When he heard the big guy calling his name, he responded loudly and banged the rocks as hard as he could, and then he joined everyone.
It was past eleven o'clock at that time. After finding Xiao Liu, the guide didn't say much and asked everyone to return immediately.
Brother Wang knew Xiao Liu, and he was usually a talkative person, so he was unusually silent after finding him that night, which made Brother Wang feel quite strange.
Even if it is not convenient for me to say why I took this path, I will say something else to thank everyone.
But no one in the group spoke, including Brother Wang himself.
"That's what I felt at that time..." Brother Wang recalled. "It was very depressing, very boring, and I also had an inexplicable fear. My only thought was to leave quickly and return to the base camp."
This kind of emotion has never happened to Brother Wang.
So he wanted to talk at that time, so he looked back.
But just this one look makes Brother Wang still cringe when he thinks about it.
The mountain road was very narrow, and it was dark, so the guide asked everyone to follow one by one and not to break up. In other words, the six of them were marching in a line.
Brother Wang was behind the guide, and the guide took the lead, so there were four friends behind Brother Wang, plus Xiao Liu.
Xiao Liu sprained his foot when he fell into the col. Although it was not serious, his walking speed would be slightly affected. Brother Wang looked back at Xiao Liu and wanted to ask how his foot was.
But I accidentally glanced behind Xiao Liu...
In order to take care of Xiao Liu, they had left a friend to follow Xiao Liu. In other words, Xiao Liu was the second to last player in the first team.
Before Brother Wang could ask the question, he noticed two people behind Xiao Liu.
At first he didn't take it seriously, thinking that someone must have walked slowly and was overtaken, it was normal. But he turned his head, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, and the more he thought about it, the more chills ran down his spine.
What's going on?
When he looked away just now, he could see clearly that there were indeed two people separated between him and Xiao Liu...
So, why are there two people following Xiao Liu?
At this point, Brother Wang took a sip of tea and rubbed his hands again. It seemed that it was indeed what he said before. Even if he mentioned this matter again now, he still had lingering fears.
"You mean... there is one more person?" others at the table asked.
Brother Wang nodded.
Yes, there is one more person!
Brother Wang was wearing a headlamp at that time, but he didn't know whether it was because the battery was low or because the surroundings were too dark, so the light was not bright when it came out.
But it is still possible to see clearly how many people in the group there are.
In order to confirm his doubts, Brother Wang had the courage to look back again. This time he looked carefully and saw that there were indeed two people following Xiao Liu.
He counted the number of people in his mind again, counting from the last person forward: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6... 7!
7 people!
Brother Wang's brain was buzzing at that time.
Then he forced himself to look at the two people behind Xiao Liu. He recognized the person following Xiao Liu, but the last person... could not always see his face clearly.
He seemed to be walking close to the person, only his legs and swinging arms could be seen.
Having said this, Brother Wang looked at the big guy with a serious face, "Although I can't see clearly what that person looks like, I can see his shoes!"
Everyone present was very nervous because of what he said. Someone asked, "What shoes are you wearing?"
Brother Wang took a deep breath and slowly said to everyone, "I'm wearing cloth shoes, gray ruffled cloth shoes!"
Everyone who climbs the mountain has professional equipment and equipment, and they are even more particular about the choice of shoes, so everyone wears either hiking boots or hiking shoes.
Only the person following Xiao Liu at the very back was wearing a pair of handmade coarse cloth shoes in an indistinguishable color.
