Everyone present was rubbing their arms and getting goosebumps. Although Brother Wang didn't describe the person he saw that night in detail, his shoes alone made people tremble.
It was obviously a sunny day outside the tea shop, but after Brother Wang's experience, everything around him seemed to have frozen, and the temperature seemed to have dropped rapidly.
Sure enough, it is taboo.
Especially for those who haven’t climbed mountains yet.
But Si Ye didn't care whether it was taboo or not, and asked Brother Wang, "Just saw the cloth shoes? Is the other party a boy or a girl?"
Brother Wang was stumped and shook his head, "I can't see clearly. I don't know if it's a boy or a girl. Anyway..."
At this point, he paused and then said, "Just follow our footsteps. If we are fast, then those who are fast will be fast, and if we are slow, then those who are slow will be slow."
Si Ye grasped the key point, "Have you observed it?"
Brother Wang sighed, "That's right, but I don't dare to do anything."
Brother Wang was initially frightened when he discovered that the team was abnormal. But after all, he had been traveling outdoors for many years and had experienced a lot of dangers. So he quickly calmed down, thinking that maybe he was dazzled, or maybe he was dazzled.
Just a person.
If it's the latter, is he also lost? Or does he have malicious intentions?
Don't blame Brother Wang for thinking this way. In the middle of the night, a person suddenly came out and followed them furtively. What was his purpose? If you were honest, you could say hello to them openly.
Therefore, Brother Wang went with the idea that "that person is probably a bad person".
So, he suddenly squatted down and pretended to tie his shoelaces.
The people behind him didn’t pass him, so they stopped and waited for him. Just like that, the whole team paused their progress. Brother Wang stretched his head and looked back, asking how Xiao Liu’s feet were.
The guide was originally walking in front, but after hearing this, he stopped and looked back.
Xiao Liu kept saying that his foot was fine and apologized to everyone. Everyone said that it was fine and that he was safe. Brother Wang pretended to tie the other shoe, and while he was talking to Xiao Liu, he went again
Look at the end.
That person is still there!
Still stuck in the shadows, only the coarse cloth shoes fell into Brother Wang's sight. The man did not move forward and stopped there.
Brother Wang broke into a cold sweat on his back at that time, and it felt like he could wet his clothes instantly. But surprisingly, his mind was not confused, and his mind quickly turned several times in the extremely frightening environment.
Not a bad person.
Otherwise, if a few of them talk like this, any normal person will react, and even the bad guys will run away quickly in this situation.
So, is it possible that he is not a human being?
In this way, Brother Wang didn't dare to act rashly. He didn't know if others had noticed anything unusual. If he really just went to the end to find out, what if it was really something? Then others would probably be scared to death.
It's not certain whether I can still get out smoothly.
Brother Wang forced himself to calm down, and when he stood up, he said to the last teammate, "Please help Xiao Liu."
There are two purposes for saying this.
First, after hearing the words, the man stepped forward to help Xiao Liu. Brother Wang took the opportunity to take a look. The coarse cloth shoes seemed to be attached to the back of his teammate. No matter how he moved, his face could not be seen clearly;
Secondly, what he thought was that if it was really something unclean, it would be quite dangerous for that teammate to be walking at the end. He and Xiao Liu would support each other and walk away with someone to look after him.
When Si Ye heard this, he was puzzled, "Why don't you adjust the formation? Or, you can go to the back."
His meaning was quite simple. He wanted to know what was following them. Couldn't Brother Wang just go around to the back and take a look?
As soon as he finished speaking, before he had time to see Brother Wang's reaction, he heard Cheng Zhan chuckle over there. Si Ye happened to be sitting back to back with him, so he heard it very clearly.
Still wondering, what's so funny about this? Is the question he asked funny?
At this time, Brother Wang said awkwardly, "I'm actually... scared too."
Si Ye suddenly realized and understood the reason why Cheng Zhan was laughing.
Everyone else at the table echoed, "Anyone would be scared if this happened to me."
In other words, you don't have to feel embarrassed.
Si Yeze thought to himself, that's not necessarily the case. If it were me and Cheng Zhan, we wouldn't be afraid.
"Later we walked out." Brother Wang continued, "After returning to the base camp, Xiao Liu told us that he did not fall into the col for no reason."
After all, Xiao Liu also has a lot of outdoor experience, so he will not take risks like a newcomer. Xiao Liu told Brother Wang and others that he felt a bit stuffy in the base camp at that time and could not sleep, so he went outside to get some air.
Air.
After staying for less than a minute, Xiao Liu vaguely felt that there seemed to be something not far away. He turned on the flashlight and looked over, and found that it was a person.
Standing at the fork of the side branch, the light source of the flashlight could not shine that far, but I was sure it was a person, and then I walked towards the depths.
Xiao Liu's first thought was the people from the base camp. Because it was so late and in this place, they must be following him to climb the mountain. Xiao Liu was also kind-hearted, fearing that the person was lost or just out of curiosity, so he shouted
The man chased towards the depths.
It was also strange. Xiao Liu felt that the man was clearly not far ahead, but he couldn't catch up no matter how hard he chased him. He chased him and suddenly stopped chasing him, because a sudden thought flashed through his mind: What if he bumped into someone other than him?
Where are people?
At this time, Xiao Liu also found that he was too far away from the base camp. He started to walk back, but he didn't know what happened. The more he walked, the more scared he became. Xiao Liu said that this kind of fear was unprecedented.
He bravely used the satellite phone to call his teammates. He didn't know if it was a call for help. Anyway, after making contact, he told them where he was roughly.
After talking on the phone, he continued to walk forward, but unexpectedly he fell directly into the col. It was said to be a col, but it was not easy to climb up. He didn't bring any tools, and the satellite phone was broken.
When Xiao Liu was talking about his experience, his teammates were very nervous, and they all said that the atmosphere there was very strange and stressful, and they didn't want to talk, they just wanted to go on their way.
After hearing this, Brother Wang realized that he was not the only one who felt this way at that time.
Because it was too late at that time, the guide asked them to take the time to rest and not to waste their strength for climbing at dawn. Just like that, no one mentioned this matter again.
At this point, Si Ye asked Brother Wang, "Where is that mysterious man? He hasn't been seen since he returned to the base camp?"
Brother Wang said that the man did not follow him back to the base camp. It seemed that he never saw the man again after reaching a fork in the road.
"What happened after that? Has this happened again?" Si Ye asked again.
Brother Wang shook his head.
It was like an interlude. When they got off the snowy mountain and returned to the village, nothing unusual happened again.
"But then the guide came to see me alone." Brother Wang said.
When we were going down the mountain to rest, the guide pulled Wang Ge aside and asked him directly without any detours, did you see anything when you found Xiao Liu?
After returning to the base camp, Brother Wang never told everyone what he saw. Firstly, it was too late, and secondly, he did not want to cause psychological burden to everyone.
So when the guide asked this question, Brother Wang reflexively asked him, "Did you see it too?"
The guide's eyes were quite serious, he nodded and said he saw it, but he didn't know what it was.
In fact, just when Brother Wang was squatting down and pretending to tie his shoelaces, the guide also turned around and saw the abnormality at the end. The guide added, "I guess other people besides us also saw it, as long as they turned around to talk at that time
.”
It is impossible to judge on this point.
You can't ask them one by one, it's meaningless. Others didn't say anything, either they didn't see it at all, or just like his mentality, they didn't want to say it.
Si Ye asked another question, "Is the guide the same as what you saw?"
Brother Wang felt that this young man had quite a lot of questions, and he was particularly interested in it. But since he agreed to tell everyone about this matter, he knew that he would tell everyone.
He nodded and said, we checked it out and found that we were roughly the same.
The focus is on the coarse cloth shoes.
"Brother Wang, let me think about it carefully now. Do you think that extra person looks like a woman? Someone who is older?" Si Ye said suddenly.
As soon as this question was raised, everyone here got goosebumps again. Some people said, "Oh my god, the old lady Yamano? She's even scarier."
Indeed, scary.
Others said that it must be something unclean. If you were a real person in the middle of the night, how could you not say anything?
But Brother Wang really thought about it seriously, and Si Ye ignored what others said and just stared at Brother Wang's expression. After a long time, Brother Wang said, "Actually, if you say it like that, if I recall it carefully, it's quite similar.
She is an older woman. Although her face cannot be seen clearly, her overall body shape gives the impression that she is older. Those shoes..."
He hesitated for a moment, then hummed, "Now that I think about it, they are really just a pair of cloth shoes worn by women, and the ones worn by men are not that small."
…
"Nine times out of ten, she is Mrs. Qin."
After Si Ye and Cheng Zhan returned to Jianshan Inn, they chose a quiet spot to enjoy the scenery, but in reality they were discussing what they had seen and heard today.
Brother Wang's table was quickly evacuated. Before leaving, Brother Wang gave many instructions to Si Ye not to leave the main force.
Maybe he felt that he was too curious about the side branch.
When they were the only ones left at the table, Si Ye asked the tea shop owner if he had heard anything strange during this time. The tea shop owner waved his hands and said that the guests who came and went were all players, and he listened to many things said.
He doesn't understand, so generally he doesn't listen carefully.
But Si Ye identified it as Sister Qin.
He said this once on the way back to the inn, and repeated it again when he returned to the inn. During this period, Cheng Zhan did not express his position, and it was not clear from his expression whether he was negative or positive.
After Boss Bai finished his work, he saw the two of them and came over to ask questions. Mainly because he was worried that they would not have enough supplies to go up the mountain. Cheng Zhan took the initiative and pulled a chair over and said to Boss Bai, "Brother Bai, please sit down first."
