Ye Zhaoling saw from a distance that the guy named "Stone" was getting closer and closer. She balled herself up into a ball, piled on a tree branch like a hornet's nest.
Sure enough, it was dark in the forest, so the man could only pursue Ye Zhaoling based on the general direction in which she fled. In fact, he had no idea which corner she ran to.
Ye Zhaoling knew that there was a high probability that he had met a migrant worker who loved fishing.
What a great opportunity! What a great opportunity!
She waited with bated breath on the tree. Ten minutes later——
Ye Zhaoling jumped down from the tree quickly, looked in the direction of the top of the mountain and ran all the way. In this dark night, he couldn't see clearly whether it was a big road or a small road, and he didn't know which way to run. In short, he just ran upwards with all his strength.
Ye Zhaoling was very panicked. She felt like she had fallen into a strange circle, with enemies everywhere.
"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!"
no!
We must find a way!!
Ye Zhaoling ran and thought of a solution.
She stopped suddenly.
There seems to be movement again!!
There were several flashlights in front of me, shining across the forest.
Ye Zhaoling looked back and forth at the terrain. Fortunately, it was not dark in the middle of winter. She was hiding in the bushes and would not be easily exposed.
In front of her was a towering ancient tree. This tree was tall and lush, with lush branches and leaves, covering the entire night sky.
Ye Zhaoling felt as if he had found hope when he saw this tree.
She hurriedly ran over, grabbed the trunk of the ancient tree, and climbed up through the branches of the ancient tree.
Ye Zhaoling hid behind a large piece of dense leaves, holding the trunk with both hands. Mao Tuanzi had woken up at this time, jumped out of his pocket, grabbed a few strands of hair and squatted on top of Ye Zhaoling's head, his eyes dripping with tears.
Fluorescent green.
Quite energetic!
Ye Zhaoling grimaced in pain and forced himself to endure it.
Sure enough, after a while, a large group of people gathered in the open space not far away!
They were not the same group of people as "Brother Nine" and "Brother Seventeen" just now. The equipment of these people was not uniform. They did not wear uniform black suits, and there were no sunglasses or other coverings on their faces.
But there were too many of them, more than twice as many as the wave of people just now. They were a dense mass of darkness, and they all looked in one direction with ferocious looks, holding all kinds of swords, guns and clubs in their hands.
These people did not communicate with each other, but they acted in an orderly manner without any signs of panic.
He is a member of the Ye family patrolling the mountain!
This made Ye Zhaoling even more frightened.
"hiss……"
Her chest rose and fell violently, and she felt like it was difficult to breathe.
I don't know how much time passed, but the men below gradually left here. Only then did Ye Zhaoling emerge from behind a tightly held bunch of leaves, breathing heavily.
With the faint skylight, the dial pointer had reached nine o'clock, and she remembered that she arrived at the foot of the mountain at seven o'clock.
In just two hours, she had passed by the door of death three times! She was almost beaten to death just now. She touched her chest, feeling lingering fear.
She observed the environment below for a while, then breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the place where she had just been.
She encountered several wild beasts here. All her energy was spent climbing up and down remote mountain trails, and she had no energy left to deal with these wild beasts.
Moreover, the IQ of these beasts is obviously higher than that of domestic animals raised by humans. They will gather their companions to surround the prey, and then send the vanguard to bite the prey with their claws. They even know how to attack the prey's weaknesses, such as the fragile abdomen, and scratch it with one claw.
When it comes down, the prey's skin and flesh will be torn, blood will flow profusely, and it will be extremely painful.
Ye Zhaoling avoided the attacks of the beasts. She ran forward while observing her surroundings, trying to find a way out as soon as possible.
Suddenly, Ye Zhaoling stopped.
The hairy ball pulled at her scalp and squeaked.
She looked up and found that she was in front of a cliff. Dense trees leaned on the edge of the cliff, and creepers covered the cliff tightly.
There is a cave on top of the leaf-covered cliff!
If you don't look closely, you can easily miss it!
Because there is a dense canopy of trees extending at the top of the cave, the leaves block the entrance and exit of the cave.
She thought for a while, looked at the dark way back, and still climbed up the cliff without hesitation, reaching the top of the cliff.
Ye Zhaoling lay on the rock at the top of the cliff and looked down.
An old forest, the trees are generally tall and the canopy is lush and green. On the inside of the forest, there is a stone bridge. There is no running water in the gully under the bridge, and it is covered with tall weeds.
Looking down from here, she could see a simple wooden house built in the ravine, and it was powered by electricity. The lights around it dimmed and brightened, as if there were a lot of ghosts wandering around the wooden house with flashlights.
However, after watching carefully for five minutes, there was not a single soul.
Empty.
At the same time, she saw a bonfire in a large open space in front of the wooden house, with a huge black pot on top.
Ye Zhaolin was startled for a moment.
At this moment, an ominous premonition suddenly appeared in her heart.
She looked around, but found no human beings, only silence and coldness.
She looked in the direction of the wooden house, and then carefully looked at the surrounding environment. Compared with other places with thorns and lush shrubs, this blank area was unusually abrupt, with very few animals and plants. This phenomenon was not a common occurrence in Qingcheng Mountain.
Normal things.
Most likely they were hunted by humans.
Clearing out such a large forest on Qingcheng Mountain is undoubtedly a big project.
Ye Zhaoling didn't think too much, so she decided to take the time to visit the wooden house. Although it was better to do less than to do more, the appearance of things had its own rules, and nothing would appear and disappear out of thin air.
Zhang Yu also told her that no matter how ordinary and small something is, since it appears at this moment, it must have its meaning.
What is it used for, what is it done, what purpose is it achieved.
Ye Zhaoling has always believed in his luck.
She raised her head and glanced in the direction of the top of the mountain. She couldn't see anything. It was completely covered by branches and the night.
Then she looked at the wooden house again.
If I'm lucky, maybe there might be other discoveries in the cabin?
She turned back again and looked at the cave on the cliff that looked very reliable. It was very dry inside and could accommodate one person. Literally, he could climb in and hide tightly.
Furthermore, it is located on a cliff, next to the dense canopy of old trees, whose leaves extend and block the entrance to the cave.
Looking from the wooden house, this cave must not be discovered!
One is that the distance is relatively far, and the other is that from bottom to top, due to the topography, mountains, rocks and trees provide a natural barrier.
Once you have figured out your escape route, you will have nothing to worry about.
If it weren't for the fact that this hole had no traces of man-made artifacts, Ye Zhaoling would have almost suspected that someone dug a hole here just to peek into the wooden house below...
Wait, it doesn’t seem impossible?
Ye Zhaoling shook his head, and quickly climbed down the cliff on tiptoe, sneaking towards the wooden house.
The fur ball she left behind jumped on her head very unhappily and grabbed her hair and refused to let go.
For the safety of the "brothers and sisters" on his head, Ye Zhaoling didn't plan to argue with this stupid furball for the time being.
It's also a coincidence that the wooden house is some distance away from the cliff, about ten meters, but it also happens to have its back against the cliff, and there is a window in the back, which is very suitable for Ye Zhaoling's dog to peek into the wooden house.
Ye Zhaoling continued to crawl forward.
Finally we reached the edge of the wooden house.
She looked up and found that the window above was ajar. She peeked in a few times. There was an incandescent lamp hanging on the ceiling. Maybe it was because the voltage was unstable. The light was very dim and there was no light outside the wooden house.
