When Cheng Zhan and Si Ye resolutely followed the trend of the mountains and walked into the side branch, they were spotted by the young man who was cooking. They were so frightened that they almost knocked over the pot. They stood up and yelled at their backs.
Cheng Zhan didn't look back, but Si Ye turned his head when he heard it and waved his hand towards him to say goodbye.
The young man raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, thinking, who is this person? He suddenly appeared and then suddenly ran away? Isn't he from the mountaineering team?
A companion came out smelling the smell of paste and saw that the noodles in the pot were all black. He quickly moved the pot and called him. The young cook quickly called his companion to come over and take a look, "They are indeed two men, right?"
?”
"Indeed, what's wrong?" My companion felt strange, "You don't want to climb mountains?"
"As long as they are human, they scared me to death. I thought I had seen a ghost in broad daylight, so I walked towards the side branch again." The young man breathed a sigh of relief, and then imitated the way Si Ye waved at him just now -
"It's just like the ghosts in Hong Kong ghost movies, waving their hands at you, it's so scary."
His companions really couldn't understand what he was afraid of.
"There -" the young man raised his chin in the direction where the two disappeared, "I heard that some people have seen unclean things in there."
So, you still dare to go inside.
Those who dare to go inside may not be ordinary people, or they may not be human at all.
…
The further you go, the denser the forest becomes, which is quite unexpected.
After all, the road from the village to the base camp was pretty good except for the virgin forest. But now the road under my feet was even denser than the virgin forest.
There are even patches of green shade above the head, blocking the sun above the head.
Cheng Zhan and Si Ye followed the route map hand-drawn by Brother Baozi and revised by Qin Laoer. First they passed the mountain col they heard about in the tea shop, and then there was no road ahead.
Si Ye was holding on to time, and it took about 15 minutes to walk from the mountain col to the base camp, which was actually quite close. But Brother Wang, who told them a story at the time, said that it took them more than half an hour to walk this way.
Therefore, Cheng Zhan said, "It may be a psychological effect. It was dark at the time and I saw something abnormal. Every extra minute would be torture."
Si Ye agreed with his analysis.
"Based on the time given by Boss Bai, the resident heard crying before Brother Wang saw the ghost."
While observing the terrain, Si Ye chatted with Cheng Zhan about these two incidents.
Regarding the extra person that Brother Wang saw, they both agreed that it should be Sister Qin. Firstly, the time was right, and secondly, Si Ye had seen Sister Qin several times, but whenever he saw her,
She was wearing coarse cloth shoes, and when she was taken away by Qin Laosan that day, she was also wearing a pair of coarse cloth shoes.
The crying incident occurred precisely after the witch spirit in Qin Laosan was taken away.
Si Ye continued to analyze what he had just said, "There are cries indicating that there is still consciousness, so why is Sister Qin still following Brother Wang and the others in a pretentious manner?"
Want to get out of this mountain? Just tell them no?
"Moreover, how did you manage to follow him silently and then disappear silently?" Si Ye was puzzled.
Cheng Zhan didn't rush on his way. He chose a piece of dead wood to sit down and said, "This shows that Aunt Qin was still a sober person when she first came here. At least, she still has a sense of autonomy."
Si Ye was surprised and sat next to him, "Then Sister-in-law Qin... is not a human being now?"
Suddenly he shivered.
That's right. In the beginning, he was still a human being, still had human consciousness, and could cry. But later on, didn't it become abnormal? Did he become a real evil spirit? It seems that this is the only way to explain the subsequent strange events.
Cheng Zhan sighed, "Although she has not been possessed by the witch spirit, because she has been with the witch spirit for a long time, the aura of the witch spirit naturally remains in her body."
Having said this, he looked around, "A place like this can easily gather the spirits of all things in the world. She may be affected. It cannot be said that she is no longer a human being. It is most likely that her consciousness is damaged. Then a human being can easily become a human being."
The Walking Dead. Besides..."
Cheng Zhan paused for a moment, thinking about his words.
He added, "This kind of place is far away from the crowd. Although Aunt Qin San has not been here for a long time, because of Qin Laosan's incident and this environment, she must have been greatly stimulated psychologically, and abnormality has become normal.
"
The last sentence is like a tongue twister.
But Si Ye understood what he meant, and it was right. He was bewitched by the witch spirit and believed that his husband could come back to life. Unexpectedly, when he saw that his husband was neither a human nor a ghost in the end, no matter how strong his psychology was, he would collapse.
"You said..." Si Ye thought, "could it be related to Si Jiayi?"
Cheng Zhan turned to look at him...
By the way, I saw a large open space over there.
The dead wood is quite long, and I have to sit right next to him. Is this... afraid of coming to a place like this?
Cheng Zhan thought to himself, even if he was afraid, there was nothing to be embarrassed about, right? But he still saved Si Ye's face and followed his topic and asked, "What do you mean?"
"According to our previous inferences, Qin Sansao and Si Jiayi should be together. Even if they are not together, they will not be too far apart. A normal person will definitely collapse if he is with corpses every day."
This guess is correct.
Cheng Zhan nodded, "Let's get on our way."
Si Ye was not tired at all, so he stood up quickly. However, he saw that Cheng Zhan was sitting there without moving, and just stretched out his hand towards him. Si Ye stood with arms akimbo and smiled, "Brother Zhan, isn't it? I just walked a few steps and couldn't stand up."
Already?"
Cheng Zhan allowed him to laugh, without any anger on his face. He still stretched out his hand towards him, "Aye, you have to have a conscience. Who am I working hard for? Who am I busy for? Don't forget, I am still suffering from a disease. Like you said
Yes, your brother and I are weak."
Yes, Si Ye knew that as long as he called him "A Ye", there would be no good words for him.
Holding his hand, Siye exerted all his strength...
This guy really didn't use any strength at all. Si Ye used really hard force to pull him up.
Too much.
Okay, bear with it.
They were looking for an entrance.
What does it mean? It means to find a way to the cemetery when there is no way to go.
Hard to find.
No road means that not only are there dense jungles ahead, but plants and thorns on the ground, creeping vines and rocks block the way. Especially the rocks, which are not scenery at all, they are like giants on the road.
The short ones can reach over the knees, and the tall ones can reach over the head. There are also many stones hidden in the turf. I don’t know if there is a river bed underneath, but they will be slippery if you step on them accidentally.
Si Ye fell twice, his jacket was torn, his hair was stained with turf, and his image was completely ruined. He was also convinced. He didn't usually think that his sense of balance was bad, but today he couldn't stand firmly when he stepped on rocks.
Once or twice.
When he fell and grabbed his shit for the third time, Cheng Zhan knelt down in front of him and looked at him condescendingly, as if he was looking at a mentally retarded person.
Looking at it, he sighed, "Are you okay?"
This is...asked.
Si Ye remained on all fours, looked at Cheng Zhan with a slightly raised face, and gritted his teeth, "I'm so good that I can take off."
Do you still need to ask?
Cheng Zhan snorted and looked him over, "I also think you are very nice."
After finishing speaking, he stood up and walked straight...forward...
No, anyone with a bit of humanity should pull him up, right?
…
Half a minute later, Si Yexiong passed Cheng Zhan in a high-spirited manner, striding forward with a short knife in his hand. When he saw thorns, he looked at thorns, and when he encountered stones, he stepped over stones. It was obviously a very strenuous road, and he just walked out of the catwalk.
Beautiful character.
Seeing this, Cheng Zhan sighed, it really wasn't his body and bones that didn't feel bad for him.
The two of them actually carved a path, with a large area of grass, trees and thorns lying behind them. Going deeper, the jungle was so dense that there wasn't even a place to rest.
They could only move forward all the way, but in the end they couldn't even walk side by side and ended up in tandem.
I walked like this for more than two hours. Finally, I saw a cliff in front of me. It was not too high, and it was covered with trees. But it was impossible to climb it with bare hands.
Cheng Zhan and Si Ye took out all the ropes, pitons and other tools in their bags. Although the road ahead was difficult, Brother Baozi said that they could enter the cemetery by climbing over this cliff.
Qin Laoer also confirmed that there is indeed a world outside the cliff. The people who helped at that time also stopped when they reached the cliff. They did not want to know or know about the world behind the cliff.
That day Si Ye was very surprised at the hand-drawn map and asked Qin Laoer, "How did you cross the cliff with the coffin?"
Qin Laoer didn't think this was something worth making a fuss about, "Just use ropes. Isn't that the same principle for those hanging coffins?"
Well, Si Ye admits that he is young and energetic.
After tying the rope and climbing up, Si Ye said to Cheng Zhan, "Qin Laoer has a big heart. Who can carry the coffin so far and bury it? Isn't this sick? He doesn't even doubt it at all.
"
There is some element of angry talk in it.
In fact, if you calm down and think about it carefully, Qin Laosan died suddenly. In other words, the way of death was abnormal. Qin Sansao was bewitched, and she was not sure how to persuade Qin Laoer to compromise.
Fortunately, the cliff is still easy to climb.
Si Ye has always been good at climbing over cliffs and walls, and he is very fast with his long hands and feet. But Cheng Zhan is not slow in his movements. His hands and feet are very strong, especially his arm strength. A climb is like wind blowing under his feet.
Yes, he is on par with Si Ye.
Si Ye was quite tired originally.
Think about it, after more than two hours of cutting thorns, rock climbing is as tiring as climbing a snow-capped mountain. Don’t think about it, don’t climb over this cliff before dark, maybe you have to hang on half the wall and sleep.
?
But seeing Cheng Zhan's expression as calm as a breeze, Si Ye felt excited all over, thinking to himself, I can't bow my head to you even if I bow my head to anyone.
In this way, the two of them climbed over the cliff "easily".
Perhaps the two of them had been working hard when climbing before. After reaching the top, they both fell to the ground and rested for a long time before turning their heads and looking at each other face to face.
Looking at it, Cheng Zhan and Si Ye both laughed.
I don’t know why I’m laughing, but it’s just a feeling bursting out from deep in my heart.
