The Urban Legends of Monsters: Night rain on barren hills

Night rain on barren hills

The mountain forest in the dark night was silent. The few stars in the sky with rolling clouds were also blocked by the dense canopy, so that the whole forest could not be seen. In the distance, there can still be a few chirping of night birds, but there is not even the sound of the wind blowing the treetops. There are no trees and grasses. A wild dog approached here inadvertently, but was frightened by a clump of fishy smell touching its nose and ran away with its tail tucked in whimper.

A massive object in the woods wriggles in motion imperceptible to the naked eye.

"Haha you got up so early this time, it looks like you're starving! Are you looking forward to my coming!" Suddenly wanton laughter broke the silence. At this time, lightning pierced the sky, and the long-standing torrential rain finally began to fall. In the light and shadow of the lightning that struck the sky like a silver chain, you can see a young man standing in the forest smiling. Leisurely, he put his hands in his trouser pockets and complained, "Why does it rain heavily every time I come to see you? It's a pity that this dress is a famous brand and costs thousands of dollars."

The huge body opposite him slowly leaned towards him in the darkness.

The man leaned against the tree and said lazily: "Hurry up and eat it and stop complaining - I haven't complained yet... Why do you want to eat women and children! I never eat women and children, you are dead. Heart." He muttered to himself as a low growl sounded from his side. Unmoved, the man waved his hand like chasing flies and continued to talk: "Eat me if you don't get women and children for you? You eat! Who will feed you after I eat? Even if you don’t know how to repay your favor, you shouldn’t be there to open your mouth and eat me, shut up and eat me, but I will come to feed you once every ten years, regardless of difficulties and obligations. Is it easy to think how much you eat and accumulate so many things at one time? In order to keep you full, I am frugal, budget-conscious, open-source and cost-effective, self-reliant... You don't see me, I'm hungry and thin..."

Another roar sounded, this time with a distinctly more menacing voice.

"Don't yell at me, eat it, it's not me who trapped you here, now I'm the only one who remembers that you gave you your own food and came to chat with you, see how good I am to you Ah, how can you not be touched at all..." The man was still chattering, the huge shadow suddenly stood still and disappeared for a moment, then the wind and rain suddenly broke apart and the clouds burst and the moonlight sprinkled on the ground.

The man was still leaning on the tree, but his smile subsided for some time, and he looked up at Haoyue for a long time and said, "It's another ten years..."

The fresh breath of the mountain forest after the rain was blown by the light wind replaced the air that made people feel overwhelmed and suffocated. A field mouse appeared in the grass and probed its brain, and then a bug jumped over the blade of grass. The forest seems to be All of a sudden, the man stretched out his hand and flicked the little vole's nose. When the vole fled back to the hole in panic, the man disappeared.

Although the mountain is not high and the road is not rough, Bai Ruolin walked for less than 40 minutes, and she started to shout that she was tired. Several men who were traveling with her all offered her a helping hand, but she deliberately approached Liu Di, wanting to give her own salute give him. Liu Di smiled apologetically and showed her the two backpacks he had already held in his hands. In the end, Zhou Feng took Bai Ruolin's backpack.

"Humph." Zhang Qian heard Tang Shiya sneer next to her, obviously she was very happy that Liu Di didn't pick up Bai Ruolin's luggage. Zhang Qian shook her head, if it wasn't for the fear of attracting too much attention, she really wanted to take back her own backpack that Liu Di was holding, so as not to accidentally get involved in the open and secret fight between Bai Ruolin and Tang Shiya.

Tang Shiya ran to Liu Di's side for a while to fetch something from her bag, then took a water bottle for a while, and complained about the difficulty of walking on the mountain road, and graciously hooked Liu Di's arm. Liu Di was obviously very welcome to the woman holding his arm and immediately moved closer to Tang Shiya.

Forty kilometers away from Lixin City, Kaiming Mountain is a mountain that has not been artificially opened and still maintains its natural appearance. Mountaineering has become popular among urban youths recently. The mountain is neither dangerous nor wide, and the natural beauty of Kaiming Mountain has attracted many climbers. These young men and women who grew up in the metropolis buy simple supplies and use a On weekends and weekends, you can enjoy the natural beauty and fresh air in the mountains, you can relax your body and mind, connect with friends, and you can show that you are at the forefront of fashion, so this mountain is very lively every holiday. Shops dedicated to providing supplies and food for climbers have appeared in small villages.

The group of nine people in front of me is also a team that took advantage of the long vacation to climb the mountain.

Four of the women are university students: Song Zhen, Zhang Qian, Bai Ruolin and Tang Shiya. Song Zhen, Zhang Qian's classmate, invited Zhang Qian to climb the mountain this time. Song is really a girl with a masculine temperament. She is generous and unrestrained. She usually likes to speak up and fight injustice. Zhang Qian likes this friend very much. Bai Ruolin is a junior college girl who is lower than Zhang Qian. There are very few people in the university who don't know this talented and beautiful school girl, and three of the five men from the university who came to the mountain this time are all directed at her; Tang Shiya is fair-skinned, sweet and cute. Although Bai Ruolin has become the school's "predecessor" since she entered the school, she is not as sweet and innocent as Bai Ruolin. Xu usually attracts the attention of many boys in the school, and now the one named Liu Di Men were obviously more interested in her than Bai Ruolin.

Only two of the nine are not students of S University: Song Zhen's boyfriend, Chen Shu, is a civil servant and wears a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. He is very talkative, and Song Zhen is imitating and generous; the other man, Liu Di, is a half Joining the team on the road, he describes himself as a librarian at the municipal library, using his vacation to climb mountains. Liu Di is tall and handsome, and he speaks, dresses, and behaves like a "new man". Standing among men, he stands out from the crowd. As soon as he joined Tang Shiya, he was attached to him. He even had three guardians. Bai Ruolin, who was following the flower messenger, couldn't help but pay extra attention to him.

Although the age difference is almost the same, the three boys in S University are a little less than Chen Shu and Liu Di. They are also famous figures in the school and some kind of maturity in society. Exactly what they were missing.

Qin Changlu is the chairman of the student union of s University, a talented person with excellent academic performance and no arrogance or pretentious leadership. The only thing is that he knows too much that he is excellent, which is a bit aggressive. He has been pursuing Bai Ruolin for more than a year, but from Bai Ruolin's favorable impression of Liu Di today, it seems that Qin Changlu is not her type at all. I am afraid that this time he will follow up in the mountains in vain; the other two boys Zhou Feng and Wu Shangli were originally They are good friends, but since they pursued Bai Ruolin together, they have been somewhat at odds with each other. Wu Shangli is handsome, although he is not as good as Liu Di, but he is always a famous brand from the inside out. He is always a beautiful man. Although Wu Shangli is a bit "smug", he has nothing to say to his friends because he is hearty and loyal, so he is very popular with both boys and girls. This mountaineering was also suggested by him first; Zhou Feng is the son of a wealthy businessman, but he is not good at spending money. Unlike his good friend Wu Shangli, he is very measured and generous to his friends, but he never uses money to sway, and he has a calm personality and few words, giving people the impression that he is a very reliable person.

The last member of the team is Zhang Qian. She is quite talented in writing and has published two collections of poetry and one collection of essays. She has a somewhat eccentric temper and often likes to look at things with the cold eyes of an outsider, so she doesn't have many friends. Even at such a moment when a group of young people are supposed to be lively and lively, she observes and listens instead of blending in and learning from the people around her. Seeing a story is Zhang Qian's greatest hobby.

After crossing the hill, a large rocky area appeared There is a verdant meadow on the left, a stream flowing out of the rocky area, and on the right is a mountain wall with a few small trees sloping around with ancient vines. Not far from the front is a dense forest.

Several girls washed their hands in the stream, picked a few wildflowers on the grass, and fell in love with this place immediately, all clamoring to camp here. The organizer of the event, Wu Shangli, pointed to the map and explained for a long time that the most suitable place for camping should be one kilometer in front. The scenery there is even better than here, but the girls refused to listen at all. In the end, everyone obeyed the women's willfulness. Set up your tent early.

Once the camp starts, the men are responsible for setting up tents, picking up firewood, cleaning the grounds, and driving away insects and ants to make the girls feel at ease. It's not as simple as you think. Ten minutes later, the boys retreated from the tented front line, leaving Liu Di alone to continue their unfinished business. These men looked at Liu Di humming a little song with ease and then set up a tent and then looked at the wound on his hand that was made by the rope. There was nothing to say. Of course, they don't want to be sent by the girls to pick up firewood, fetch water, and wash rice right away. After more than ten minutes, Bai Ruolin coughed from the smoke, and Song Zhen screamed when her hand was cut by a knife. Liu Di, who had already set up five tents, appeared by the fire and took Song Zhen's kitchen knife in one hand and hugged him in the other. The cook who passed Zhang Qian neatly started cooking.

"Wow Liu Di's craftsmanship is really good!" After the meal, everyone gathered around the bonfire and drank the tea Liu Di made, one by one, and Tang Shiya immediately praised.

Basically, the camping work for nine people, from setting up tents to cooking, was arranged by Liu Di alone. Tang Shiya said this, everyone nodded together, and even the three boys who were a little dissatisfied with Liu Di were fortunate to have him. stand up.

Zhang Qian looked at Liu Di and her opinion of him changed a little: I thought he was the kind of man who likes to provoke girls and be frivolous and belong to the category of embroidered pillows. Now it seems that he also has advantages? Liu Di feels that she is there Seeing herself winking at her, Zhang Qian turned her eyes away and again classified him into the male category she hated the most.

No matter what Zhang Qian thinks, Liu Di has already won the favor of three other women. Tang Shiya has been clinging to him and has almost called herself his girlfriend. Bai Ruolin has been praising his craftsmanship. Even Song Zhen "commanded" him. Boyfriend: "You have to learn more from others."

"People always have advantages. I just like to eat, so I learned to cook." Liu Di cleverly changed the subject and chatted with Wu Shangli before he was disliked by other men because of Bai Ruolin's favor. As far as football is concerned, he seems to be much more slick than those students, at least in terms of life. He seemed to know that Zhang Qian was observing him and secretly winked at her, revealing a half-smiley smile.

"...It's just a short walk up and half of it is buried in the soil." After dinner, everyone sat under the starry sky and moonlight, sipping tea and chatting, and divided into groups according to their interests: Liu Di, Wu Shangli and Qin Changlu While talking about football, Tang Shiya interjected among them pretending not to understand; Song Zhen and Bai Ruolin were discussing the content of yesterday's drama, Zhang Qian held a cup and drank water slowly to listen to them; Chen Shu and Zhou Feng listened to them from Whispering beside him at the beginning.

Song Zhen pushed her boyfriend and asked, "What are you talking about? You have to hide it from everyone!"

"Nothing." Chen Shu said with a smile, "Actually, I came here with my friends a few days ago. That time I found a strange stone tablet in the mountain and I haven't figured out what it is. I just heard that Zhou Feng is very interested in cultural relics. Research is asking him for advice."

"Where do I know what cultural relics are? My father just likes to collect antiques." Zhou Feng modestly and side-by-side indicated that his family is qualified to collect antiques as a good love.

"Oh what stone?" Everyone's attention was drawn to this topic.

"Maybe it's an antique!" Wu Shangli asked with great interest.

"It is a stele with a width of thirty centimeters and more than twenty centimeters exposed. There is no text inscribed on the exposed part: a monster: nine heads, a human face, and a tiger's body. I have been to many temples, Taoist temples, I have never seen such a pattern in ancient buildings, so I remembered it today, so I was asking Zhou Feng."

"What is that Zhou Feng?" Bai Ruolin stared at Zhou Feng and asked.

Zhou Feng said embarrassedly, "I don't know if I'll go back and ask my father." He is an honest person, although he is not willing to brag to win her favor, he said, "But my father collects porcelain. I'm afraid he also..."

"That's an enlightened beast." Liu Di interjected that he smiled and said, "It's not some kind of monster, it's a mythical beast."

"What?"

"Beasts?"

"How do you know?"

Everyone asked about Liu Dilai again.

"Isn't this called Kaiming Mountain?" Liu Di said unhurriedly: "I am a member of the library, and I have read the ancient records around here. It is said that there was a nine baby in the vicinity sometime in ancient times. It has become a vast ocean..." He closed his eyes slightly as he spoke, as if he had experienced all this in person and was reminiscing about the past. It is a pity that his performance did not get the effect of making everyone immersive because at least four people interrupted him at the same time and asked: "What is Jiuying?"

"It's a big nine-headed snake that can control fire and water. It's a very powerful monster."

"Oh, I remember that there was such a thing in the monsters that Yi Weiwei shot and killed?" Zhang Qian remembered where she had seen the name "Jiuying".

"Yes, it's that kind of monster - this nine infants are making troubles here and making troubles for the people. At this time, an enlightened beast happened to pass by here: the enlightened beast is the nine-headed, human-faced, and tiger-body engraved on the stone tablet. Take care of the divine beast in the Kunlun imperial capital for the Emperor of Heaven." This time, without waiting for others to ask Liu Di, he made a comment first, "This enlightened beast is kind-hearted and fought with it for seven days and seven nights to exorcise the Nine Infants, and finally subdued the Nine Infants on this mountain. Later, people named the mountain Kaiming Mountain in order to express their gratitude to the Kaiming Beast. I think that the monument is probably because of this legend."

"Liu Di is really amazing and even understands this!" Tang Shiya hurriedly called out.

"According to Liu Di's words, that monument must be an antique!" Chen Shu looked very excited.

"We'll get it out for research tomorrow! Write an academic paper or something." Zhou Feng was also very interested.

Qin Changlu also said happily: "It seems that the age of this monument is still very long! Do you know that the nine infants and the enlightened beasts are all recorded in the "Shan Hai Jing" and are legendary in ancient times. Since Buddhism was introduced to our country, these 'native-born' monsters have been slowly forgotten by people. So the monument and the legend must be from a long time ago!"

"Yeah, those 'monsters' don't exist anymore in people's minds..." Liu Di said to himself for a moment, but immediately smiled and said, "Such strange things don't exist anymore. It's not a good thing! Compared with the Great Merciful and Great Compassionate Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, the Hydra and the Nine-headed Tiger are of course more interesting, right?" However, everyone paid no attention to his words and focused on whether to get the tablet out. Only Zhang Qian suddenly asked, "So what happened to that Jiuying?"

"Nine babies?"

"Yeah, according to the legend, shouldn't it still be here? It's sealed on this enlightened mountain?" Zhang Qian said so, imagining that maybe it shivered in the ground beneath her feet.

"Actually, there is another legend that the enlightened beast didn't seal Jiuying nor kill it, but before the duel between the two sides, the two sides agreed that the loser should let the winner deal with it. The request of the enlightened beast to stay on this mountain, not to leave, nor to eat people and keep the promise of letting the other party deal with it. It is said that Jiuying once asked when the enlightened beast would release it and said, "I will let you go next time I pass by here." .' Then it returns to Kunlun and doesn't pass through here again..."

"This rumor is even more terrifying. If the Nine Infants were not sealed at all, wouldn't it be possible to come out and do something strange at any time." Zhang Qian said while pressing her chest.

Liu Di smiled: "Even if it knew that the enlightened beast would never come back to release it, it would have waited forever to accept the bet and lose this guy, which is admirable."

"Hehe, that's just a legend." Zhang Qian laughed, "But if it's like a legend, it's really admirable."

"Yes, legend..." Liu Di put his hands on his knees and rested his head on his arms, staring at Zhang Qian with a smile.

"Liu Di, what do you say to do it well..." Others have discussed the specific steps to excavate the stele. Tang Shiya coquettishly asked for Liu Di's opinion.

"Let's go and have a look." Liu Di had no interest in this topic and heard Qin Changlu say to Bai Ruolin, "That stone tablet may be a magic weapon to suppress Jiuying. Once Jiuying is dug up, Jiuying will be released" or something. Guess even shrugged. He tilted his head and looked at the sky suddenly and said, "It's going to rain."

A few people listened to his words and looked up to the sky at will and shouted together: "Why is it cloudy all of a sudden!"

The bright moon and stars in the sky have been replaced by tumbling dark clouds for some time. The clouds are about to be pressed down from the sky, and the moisture in the air is beginning to increase. It seems that the rain will fall soon.

"Does the weather forecast clearly say that it will be sunny these days! Why is it raining!" Wu Shangli waved his hand to the sky in protest.

A flash of lightning flashed through the air, and everyone shivered involuntarily.

"It's going to rain soon. Everyone goes back to the tent. This thunderstorm will stop in a while. The air will be better tomorrow." Qin Changlu said confidently.

"Yeah, it's time to go to bed, or you can climb the mountain tomorrow." Everyone agreed with his suggestion and went to the tent. There were a total of five tents, Zhang Qian, eight of them, and Liu Di, who brought four of them. Of course, the two of them shared one and Liu Di lived alone. From there, Liu Di shouted, "Ladies are welcome to come and live with me." He was stared at by the men but got Tang Shiya's smile.

No matter what, a girl can't run to live with a man, so when everyone entered the assigned tent, only Liu Di was left in the camp. When Zhang Qian finally looked back, she saw him standing there looking up at the sky. The expression on his face was flashing in the remnants of the fire. It was no longer that hippie smile. Zhang Qian was about to take a closer look. The rain started pouring down, and the bonfire flickered weakly in the torrential rain, and then went out. Liu Di's figure also became a silhouette in the rainy night, but he still stood there and raised his head, as if he didn't feel the rain hitting him. similar.

"Qian help me get that." Bai Ruolin's voice interrupted Zhang Qian. Although she just met today, Bai Ruolin has already called Zhang Qian's name very affectionately. In her opinion, Zhang Qian, who is known as a talented girl, is qualified to be her friend. Maybe she will never understand that others may have **** with him. different ideas.

"This?" Zhang Qian handed her a cosmetic bag. When Zhang Qian looked back, she saw that the transparent glass used as a window on the tent had already been soaked by the rain, and it was vaguely visible that Liu Di was no longer there.

With the sound of rain, thunder and the peculiar voices in the mountains, Zhang Qian, who was a little nervous, had trouble falling asleep. Bai Ruolin beside her was already sleeping very well. Zhang Qian looked at her with a wry smile. Maybe it was because she was so close to a stranger. Because of the distance, she couldn't sleep anyway.

The rain has become much quieter. Maybe I can go out for a walk. Zhang Qian has always been in the habit of walking in the drizzle.

When she opened the tent door a little, the smell of rain and soil mixed in her face. The rain was still falling and it was bigger than Zhang Qian thought. She obviously couldn't go out, so just sit here and get some fresh air Just thinking about it, a shadow appeared in the rain and quickly walked towards the woods.

"Liu Di?" Zhang Qian immediately thought so, even if there was only one back, Zhang Qian thought it was him (because no one in the team was as tall as him) "Does he run around when it rains?" With the same plan, Zhang Qian had no choice but to smile.

The rain suddenly picked up again, as if it was about to engulf the world. There was a roar in the mountains and forests as far away. To Zhang Qian, she felt that she heard it right. It was a roar. She couldn't think of what beast was hiding in the mountains. She quickly returned to the bed and closed her eyes.

The mountains and forests after the rain are particularly pleasant. After everyone rushed out of the tent, the depression caused by the thunderstorm last night was swept away in the early morning air, sunshine and birdsong. Song Zhen simply jumped on the grass. Jumping over and singing words like "How blue the sky, how high the mountains, how happy I am" Others are stretching their limbs, taking deep breaths, some chatting, and their eyes are mostly focused on one point - Liu Di who is cooking . In any case, after yesterday, those who liked him and didn't like him in their hearts regarded him as the person who did his part to cook.

"Zhou Feng has dinner." Wu Shangli shouted to the tent.

He was answered by silence.

"No, you're still sleeping! Get up, pig!" Wu Shangli walked into the tent and kicked the place where Zhou Feng was sleeping, but only kicked an empty sleeping bag. "Where's that guy Zhou Feng?" Wu Shangli stuck his head out of the tent and asked, "Did anyone see him?"

Chen Shuzheng and Song Zhen took advantage of the good morning light to hide under the tree and kiss me, but I finally heard this sentence and pointed to the forest and said, "I saw him enter the forest - haven't he come back for a while?"

After a while, everyone had eaten, packed their tents, packed their bags, and prepared to leave Zhou Feng, but they still didn't come back. "Maybe he ran to the front to find the stone tablet." Wu Shangli had no choice but to say so with Zhou Feng's luggage behind his back.

"Wouldn't it be more convenient to wait for Chen Shu to lead the way?" Bai Ruolin interrupted.

"Hmph, he might be thinking about how to move that monument home without us, how could he wait for Chen Shu." Wu Shangli showed his dissatisfaction with his good friend in front of people for the first time.

"Don't worry, he can't move such a big thing, we just need to keep up with it." Qin Changlu patted Wu Shangli on the shoulder and said that he really wanted to see the two rivals in love with each other.

Zhang Qian smiled lightly and felt that they were fighting for girlfriends as if children were fighting for toys. Yu Guangzhong caught a glimpse of Liu Di, the latter walking at the end of the team, frowning and looking at the front with a strange expression.

Everyone stayed there for a long time, no one could move or make a sound, and their eyes stopped on Zhou Feng next to the stone tablet.

He is dead.

He lay miserably on his back with a large skull sunk on his head, his eyes not closed, but his neck was strangely twisted, and a large hole was opened from his chest to his abdomen. The flesh and bones were exposed, showing an empty abdominal cavity.

"Ah..."

Tang Shiya screamed frantically, turned around and ran. Her actions reminded the others that they all started running together. Zhang Qian followed Song Zhen and felt that the smell of blood kept following her in the back of her head. She closed her eyes and tried to drive the terrifying scene out of her mind. She shook her head hard and suddenly bumped into a soft object.

Zhang Qian found herself bumping into Liu Di. Liu Di opened her arms to block herself and Song Zhen, who was also rushing forward with her eyes closed, to prevent them from hitting the tree. The others behind him were either holding a tree or back to back or squatting on the ground or gasping for breath or vomiting.

"Zhou Feng is dead! He is dead!" Bai Ruolin cried a little shyly. Zhou Feng usually followed her to court her. It was the hardest for her to imagine her death.

"Call the police quickly!" Wu Shangli said as he took out his mobile phone from his pocket and pressed the button hard for a few minutes before throwing it to the ground in a slump - in such a deep mountain, the mobile phone had no signal at all.

A look of despair appeared on Qin Changlu's face: "The monster must be a monster! Because Zhou Feng moved the stone tablet, the monster ate him! Didn't you see that his internal organs were gone! What should we do? Will we also..."

"Don't be nervous! How could there be monsters in the world!" Chen Shu shouted and woke everyone up from the panic. Although his face was pale, he was calmer than the others and said, "Zhou Feng was killed. Didn't you see his skull was shattered! His internal organs... may have been eaten by wild animals in the mountains. We must keep calm now and go back down the mountain before calling the police."

Leaving here is what everyone is eager to do. Everyone immediately follow Chen Shu's words and go back the same way. According to the time of arrival, even if the time to play and enjoy the scenery is excluded, I am afraid that everyone has to spend a night on the mountain. Thinking that there is Zhou Feng's body on the mountain, there may be a murderer, and involuntarily speeding up the speed is almost useless. The way to trot forward.

Chen Shu must be a few years older than the other "people". After the accident, everyone unknowingly took him as the leader : "The road down the mountain will take at least four hours, and it may be longer at night - none of us know what dangers exist in this mountain. It's safer to rest for a night." Although everyone was eager to escape from here, they still obeyed him. if.

"It's all my fault, I just don't suggest coming to the mountain." Bai Ruolin cried while saying that Qin Changlu and Wu Shangli were on both sides to comfort her softly - now she went to a rival in love, but it didn't make them feel at all. Happy.

Tang Shiya was also crying and Song Zhao herself was in tears but still coaxed her.

Chen Shu sat on the rock with his eyes fixed on the map and his hands trembled slightly. At this time, Zhang Qian felt that the most calm person in the team was not him but Liu Di, who was busy setting up tents, lighting fires, and cooking. Zhang Qian let go of Song Zhao's shoulders and walked towards Liu Di.

Liu Di moved the kettle around the fire with his feet while fixing the rope of the tent in the soil so that it could heat up better. Zhang Qian even saw a smile on his face.

"I'm here to help so many people, but it's unfair to let you serve them yourself." Zhang Qian was indeed a little angry when she said this, everyone experienced the same terrible thing, but let Liu Di go Do what is necessary as if he did not see the situation.

Liu Di shrugged: "I don't know him so I'm not as sad as you guys." When he said the word "sad", he emphasized his tone and there was something else involved.

Zhang Qian helped him take the pot off the fire and greeted everyone to come and eat. Seeing that Liu Di was still fighting with the ropes, he went over to help him pull hard. "Okay, don't get angry on the rope to eat." Liu Di whispered to her.

"I'm not angry, I'm scared." Zhang Qian blurted out her inner thoughts, "It might be better to do something."

"What's there to be afraid of will be all right tomorrow."

"Tomorrow..." Zhang Qian gave a wry smile and suddenly a line commonly used by detectives came to mind: "The murderer is among us." Her back stiffened. Right from the beginning, she had this feeling, and now it pervades The atmosphere among everyone was strange. Maybe... She was getting more and more afraid that she started to tremble and hurried back to the fire.

"The murderer... what's so scary..." Liu Di looked at Lin Zhong and muttered to himself, "Have you come..."

"The killer may be among us."

Everyone has no appetite to eat, but in order to have the strength to go down the mountain tomorrow, they have to force themselves to eat some tea after the meal, and no one will touch the tea made by Liu Di, for fear that drinking tea will make them more unable to sleep, and they sit around in silence. No one mentioned going to rest together. At this moment, Qin Changlu said those words.

Everyone is still silent. Maybe more than one person has thought about this sentence.

"There are no monsters in this world, and if there are other people coming to the mountain, we will always be aware of this! Besides, why would you kill him if it is a stranger for no reason!" Qin Changlu seemed to have made up his mind. Said in one breath.

Wu Shangli muttered in a low voice: "Do we have a reason to kill him?"

"Of course there is!" Qin Changlu said loudly, "You owe him a lot of money, don't you? Your family who spends a lot of money is not wealthy. Zhou Feng, who is a friend, once lent you a lot of money. He may ask you for such a large amount, you can't come up with it."

"He has never lent me money! Such a stingy person would lend me money to dream! I have no money disputes with him at all and certainly won't kill for money!" Wu Shangli said angrily with his arms folded . However, everyone knows that Zhou Feng has always been generous to his friends. A close friend like Wu Shangli is unlikely to have any financial entanglement with him, but now Wu Shangli is so clear that it is the meaning of the title and no one will say anything. "I know you don't believe me, but I'm not afraid of the shadow!" Wu Shangli added, "I'm not afraid that someone wants to frame me."

"I'm not framing you, I'm talking about the possibility." Qin Changlu said calmly, "It's not just you and me, we are rivals in love, and I can't help but want to kill him, not necessarily; and Chen Shu, you He was demoted recently because he offended Zhou Feng's father, he used money to do tricks."

Chen Shu scratched his head: "I didn't know whose son he was before yesterday."

"And Tang Shiya, aren't you Zhou Feng's ex-girlfriend? He's empathetic, don't you want to kill him?"

"It's obvious that I dumped him!" Tang Shiya hurriedly shouted, "Who would like a guy who is nothing but rich!"

“Zhang Qian was originally supposed to be the president of the literary club, right? You have published books, you are talented, and you are more popular than Zhou Feng, but you are really not angry that he became the president because of his relationship? Then you Why did you quit the literary club?"

Zhang Qian smiled wryly and shook her head. She did not become the president of the Literature Club because she resigned from the Literature Club because she was in a very bad mood for a while because of a strange incident. She almost thought she was about to collapse. After doing this, I realized that I didn't have to be in the club to write something, so I didn't join. She looked at Qin Changlu and the other party was still gushing about his unusual behavior with such a spiritual quality that he did not look like that confident and steady student council president.

"You're not familiar with him, but your boyfriend has a conflict with him..." Qin Changlu had already pointed to Song Zhen, and Song Zhen stared at him and was about to quarrel with him.

"You are the most suspicious!" Qin Changlu pointed his finger at Liu Di.

Liu Di shrugged and smiled and waited for him to speak.

"Who knows why you joined us when you ran out of the way? What's your purpose? You live in a tent by yourself, who knows what you did!"

"Ah..." Liu Di yawned, he ignored Qin Changlu, who was still talking, and said to everyone: "Girls, go to sleep, we will be divided into two groups of four, and Chen Shu will be here first in the middle of the night. Let's go to sleep first... I'm sleepy..." He yawned and got into Wu Shangli's tent before everyone noticed that he had only set up four tents today. It seemed that he had long thought of living alone. Yi Ding will be suspicious and ready to live with Wu Shangli today. Wu Shangli, who set up the tent all by himself, could not raise any objection, even Qin Changlu had to shut his mouth. Everyone slowly walked back to their tents.

A gust of wind blew through the camp, filled with moisture and dark clouds. The sky was cloudy, but it was overcast again. After a while, the thunder and torrential rain drenched Chen Shu and Qin Changlu, who were preparing to watch the night, back into the tent.

"Why isn't it raining enough?" Wu Shangli complained to Liu Di, but he opened the tent and stared at the rain curtain outside. "What are you doing? The wipers are in!" Wu Shangli cried. "I'll see if they return to the tent." "They're not stupid!" Wu Shangli said angrily.

"Really..." The moment when Liu Di closed the tent, the wind sent a chuckle from the jungle to his ear: "I won't shoot, remember you, and don't interfere..."

Zhang Qian hugged her knees and sat across from her. Bai Ruolin couldn't sleep, and there was no topic between the two of them, so they were silent as the time passed slowly. The sound of the rain became quieter. Bai Ruolin seemed to have fallen asleep. Zhang Qian sighed softly. Encountering such a thing is like a nightmare, but such a dream may not even wake up tomorrow morning.

"Alas..." Zhang Qian sighed softly. She and Zhou Feng were both members of the Literature Club, and it was hard to accept his death even though she couldn't see her head down. So if the murderer is among us, who would it be? Thinking about it carefully, it is impossible for everyone to have time to commit crimes. Whether it is killing Zhou Feng by the stone tablet or killing him, it will take several hours to get there. No one of them has been away for that long. Perhaps the murderer who was killed by Zhou Feng, who was running alone in front of everyone, was also in this forest. Zhang Qian shuddered at the thought of this, and seemed to feel that a murderer was hiding in the woods and staring at their group.

Why did Zhou Feng rush to the front without everyone else? For that stone tablet? But he can't move out? Or is there any other reason? ...what could be the reason? Are there really monsters lurking here? Impossible there is no such thing in the world...

She finally fell asleep as she listened to the various sounds in the rain forest with thunder and wind whistling in her ears.

When everyone woke up in the morning, everyone's emotions were calmed down a lot, and they began to help Liu Di pack up and prepare for the journey.

"Where's Tang Shiya?" Song Zhen suddenly screamed.

It was only then that everyone realized that there was one less person in the team. "She was still there when she was eating, why did she disappear when she turned around?"

"Didn't Qin Changlu talk to you when she was packing?"

"Just a few words and I didn't pay attention to her anymore."

"Who saw where she went?"

Behind the trees and shrubs near the tent... Everyone searched around, but none of Tang Shiya's shadows ominous feelings crept into everyone's hearts.

"What are you doing?" Tang Shiya's peculiar coquettish voice rang out when everyone didn't know who she was. She came out from behind the tree and stared at everyone puzzled.

"Where have you been? Let everyone look around!"

Tang Ya didn't take everyone's accusations at all and looked at everyone with an aggrieved look: "I'm just going... going... You don't need to ask so understand! Love!"

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, it seems that everyone is a little nervous and over-stressed.

Pack up and go out immediately. Everyone is in a hurry and hurry down the mountain. Fortunately, the mountain road is full of green grass, although it is slippery, but it will not be muddy after the rain.

Tang Shiya followed Liu Di, holding her arm and leaning her head on his shoulder with a smile.

"What are you doing here?" Liu Di asked aloud.

"I'm not full yet." Tang Shiya replied gracefully, "How can you eat that little thing you brought."

"I always thought you were a 'person' who kept your word!"

"Of course I am, I am not." Tang Shiya pouted at Liu Di's words.

"But..."

"I didn't do anything, you know very well!" She stretched out her long fingers and poked Liu Di's chest, "I can warn you not to do anything casually - unless you are so confident in yourself. dog."

Liu Di opened her hand: "I hate being called a dog!"

"Haha" Tang Shiya laughed happily, "Where are your usual sharp teeth? I remember you were gushing like a river when you opened your mouth. How can you be honest now?" She asked slowly on Liu Di, "Is there any one of these people who makes you care about being distracted? Is that this? Is this?" She pointed at the three girls in front of her from From Bai Ruolin to Song Zhen and then to Zhang Qian, she drew a circle on Zhang Qian and said, "It's still her..."

Liu Di's eyes jumped and he almost subconsciously grabbed Tang Shiya's hand, but the next second he calmed down and said lazily in his usual tone: "What's your business?"

Tang Shiya suddenly got close to his face and smiled sweetly: "Then she is my rival Luo."

Liu Di hugged her waist and said with a smile, "If you want to be my girlfriend, tell me earlier, if you don't tell me, how would I know... (The following lines are omitted) I know that you have been with me for more than 200 years. I have a crush on a man like me, handsome, dashing, considerate, smart, generous, calm, elegant, extraordinary... (abbreviated below), can a man not be tempted by me without a woman!"

"Hahahaha." Tang Shiya laughed happily and walked forward, hugging him.

"I'm still in the mood to talk about love at this time." Zhang Qian couldn't help shaking her head when she heard the whispers and laughter of Liu Di and Tang Shiya behind her. But she didn't know that the eyes of the two people in the "talking about love" stopped on her at this time.

"How can this happen! How can this happen!" Wu Shangli screamed and rushed forward, but was quickly held back by Chen Shushou, but he still screamed hoarsely.

Why is this happening?

Everyone looked ahead and had the urge to shout a few times.

The original road ahead was blocked: the heavy rain caused mudslides and mud, and the rooted trees poured down the mountain and blocked the only road.

Bai Ruolin sat on the ground and cried: "We're stuck on the mountain if we can't go back."

"Who said that!" Wu Shangli shouted loudly, "We won't climb the mountain without a road! If you don't worry, Ruo Lin, I will carry you down the mountain." He pointed to the top of the mountain and said to Bai Ruolin proudly.

"I can't see from the map that this mountain is a broken wall ahead and there is a danger of landslides on this hillside. Let's go back first." Chen Shu studied the map, looked at the terrain and suggested. Although everyone was reluctant to leave the only way down the mountain, their reason told them that it was useless to stand here, so they finally retreated one by one dejectedly.

"What are you still waiting for?" Tang Shiya patted Qin Changlu's shoulder, who was still facing the blocked mountain road.

"Ah..." Qin Changlu let out an indescribable scream that scared Tang Shiya a few steps into Liu Di's arms and hid it, calling at him, "Why are you kindly telling you to scare me?" /

Qin Changlu looked at everyone with dull eyes, and there was indescribable fear in his eyes. He breathed heavily for a long time and calmly muttered: "It's okay, I'm okay."

It seemed that he was really upset and even let Wu Shangli patted his chest in front of Bai Ruolin to show his masculinity. Zhang Qian shook her head again, maybe it was because she experienced something like this that made everyone a little abnormal, and Qin Changlu was also that himself...

Everyone backed up to a small hill and looked at the map to discuss what to do next and finally came to two conclusions: one is to walk in the opposite direction, cross the whole mountain and go down the other side; the other is to walk over the mountain completely See if you can find a village in the forest that has not been driven.

"Look here, here and here, there are several villages nearby, we can always meet one." Song Zhen pointed to the map and said to everyone. She was extremely reluctant to take the first method because then she would have to walk by Zhou Feng's body again. It seems that everyone has the same idea as her and agreed with her.

"Then let's go!" Chen Shu stood up and led the way up the mountain.

Zhang Qian and Song Zhen walked side by side. She found that there was something wrong with her good friend. It should be said that there was something wrong between her and Chen Shu. The couple seldom talked to each other since yesterday. In such a panicked moment, it was not obvious how much they cared about each other. Even if Chen Shu was walking on a mountain with no roads at all, he wouldn't come over to help his girlfriend. Zhang Qian looked at Wu Shangli, who was holding Bai Ruolin with both hands, at Liu Di, who was holding hands with Tang Shiya, and then at Chen Shu, who was walking alone at the front, and couldn't help frowning.

Song Zhen grabbed Zhang Qian so that she did not slip in the mud. Song Zhen's agility looks no worse than the men, so she took the initiative to take care of Zhang Qian. She helped Zhang Qian and glanced at Chen Shu who was in front of her and said straightforwardly to her friend: "Don't look at him, I have nothing to do with that person!"

"How come you guys were fine the day before yesterday!" Zhang Qian called out in disbelief.

"The day before yesterday." Song Zhen sneered. She looked at Liu Di and said in a low voice, "I will tell you slowly after I go back. Anyway, we have broken up." She also sighed at this point. After taking a sigh of relief, she knew that there was a problem with each other's feelings. She originally hoped that this trip could make up for it (so she pulled her good friend Zhang Qian to get some spiritual support from her). But now it seems... well, I don't have to pretend to be sweet and relaxed. It's just that... Song Zhen closed his eyes slightly, if his inference is correct, then...

Zhang Qian stopped talking and hurrying silently. So many things happened in just a few days. Who knows what will happen next.

Walking in the mud one evening everyone had to stop on the right side of a small hillside sheltered from the wind. I don't know how far the road ahead is. The village on the map doesn't know where. Everyone is hungry and tired. Sitting, only Liu Di was busy setting up tents and lighting fires.

Zhang Qian originally wanted to help, but seeing Tang Shiya following Liu Di affectionately, she stopped talking to Song Zhen without a word. When the wind was blowing with moisture, Zhang Qian looked up and saw the sky began to turn upside down and dark clouds rolled up: "It's going to rain again."

It's been three days in a row at this time, the sky will be cloudy, and then the pouring rain and the dead mudslides of the companions. Unconsciously, this rain also brings a kind of strange and ominous. Not only Zhang Qian, several people are looking up I don't know what to think in my heart.

"Why is it raining again? How can I go tomorrow if it rains again?" Liu Di complained and threw a rope to Tang Shiya and asked her to pull it up.

"Don't you like rain? It's so good that it can irrigate everything." She tied the rope and approached Liu Di and whispered, "You can also wash away the traces at once when you go to do something at night. clean..."

"You have to be there to help fuel the flames?"

"I didn't do anything—it's important oh I...what...what...no...do...do!" she said in a long, intensified tone.

"Yes, I know." Liu Di replied angrily.

"Hey, tell me who's next?" Tang Shiya peeked at everyone and asked excitedly, "It would be nice if it was a woman. Are men only worth eating women's internal organs..." She licked her lips and seemed to have endless aftertastes "It's not too much to swallow whole..."

"So greedy!" Liu Di angrily pressed a stake into the soil.

"Hehe." Tang Shiya smiled and ran over and sat between Zhang Qian and Song Zhen.

This day's dinner was even more dull and almost no one spoke. Except for Wu Shangli blowing a few words to Bai Ruolin to explain tomorrow's route to everyone, no one said a word, although no one knew whether this route could be reached. But no one objected. Zhang Qian and Song Zhen leaned together, they were women after all, and they were very tired physically and mentally after these few days. Bai Ruolin sat between Wu Shangli and Qin Changlu and wanted to get some sense of security from them. It's just that Qin Changlu was obviously more powerful than she was afraid of. There were times when his chopsticks fell on the ground while eating, and he couldn't function as a flower protector. Among the eight people, only Liu Di and Tang Shiya seemed to have forgotten about the tragic incident and the blocked way back, and sat beside them, whispering and laughing. Zhang Qian looked at them and didn't know whether to lament their tenacity or the power of love. In a flash, she saw that Chen Shu was also looking at Liu Di and Tang Shiya, frowning slightly for not knowing what they were thinking.

A loud "boom" thunder finally made its sound in the clouds. Qin Changlu jumped up in a panic as if frightened. Everyone also knew that the rain would come down soon and each went back to his tent.

"Qian." Bai Ruolin looked at Zhang Qian pitifully and suddenly asked, "Do you think there are really ghosts? Otherwise, why is it raining as soon as the day arrives at this time, and our way back is blocked, you read If you have a lot of books, think about it..."

Zhang Qian hurriedly comforted her: "How can there be such a scary ghost in the world? Thinking about the murderer in this forest, it's annoying, but there are many of us, as long as we don't leave alone and go out to the mountains tomorrow."

"Maybe...Maybe..." Bai Ruolin bit her lip for a while and finally said, "Maybe it's Zhou Feng's ghost who won't let us leave here! He died here so he won't let us go so... maybe he Want to kill us..." She was pale, obviously frightened by her own imagination.

Zhang Qian shook her head and said, "If there really is a ghost of Zhou Feng, he will bless us to leave here safely so that we can go back to the police and avenge him. How could he possibly harm us in turn? Especially when you think about his love for you. How could it hurt you before it's too late?" She said this to comfort Bai Ruolin, who knew that the other party was even more flustered after hearing it, but instead screamed: "You don't know you don't know at all." Then she got into the sleeping bag and shivered. .

It's really hard to predict what will happen in the entanglement between men and women, and Bai Ruolin must have some reason for thinking that Zhou Feng hates her? Even Song Zhen and Chen Shu, who have always been sweet, turned out... Zhang Qian sighed and reached out and turned off the lantern. She didn't lie down to rest, but sat at the door of the tent and watched the wind and rain outside.

There is a sound of rain in the sky and the earth. The rain tonight is heavier and heavier than a few days ago. Zhang Qian thought silently about the more difficult it would be to go down the mountain road tomorrow. Could it be that there is really some power in the dark to keep this group of people on the mountain? Zhang Qian shook her head vigorously for her thoughts. In fact, she is "Xue Tong..." who believes in the mysterious power that is inexplicable between heaven and earth..." She does not know why the figure of this friend who should not exist but is incomparably clear appeared in her memory.

"There is no ghost in the world!" Xue Tong said decisively, but shrugged her shoulders and looked at Zhang Qian and said, "But I said there are monsters, believe it or not." Then she laughed mischievously.

A flash of lightning pierced through the heavens and the earth. There was a figure standing in the middle of the camp. Zhang Qian was taken aback, and she immediately analyzed Liu Di's face through another flash of lightning. He even looked at his tent with a deep expression on his face.

Zhang Qian's heart skipped a beat and she quickly retracted her gaze. In retrospect, who is this Liu Di? Is he really some kind of librarian? What is his true face hidden under his frivolous appearance? Zhang Qian didn't know anything about this person, but for some reason she felt that he could be trusted.

Zhang Qian must have been so tired that she gradually fell asleep under the hypnosis of the rain. She had repeated nightmares, was chased by a murderer with a knife, and then turned into a terrifying ghost. She ran alone in the forest and met Zhou Feng's body, sitting on the stone tablet dripping. Xue Tong waited for her with a smile and said, "Where's your new poetry collection? I'll see if it's well written." After a while, her companion Xue Tong pulled her past the corpse and rushed over while she was still there. Said: "Didn't you say that there are no ghosts in the world? You are confused." But in the blink of an eye, the person pulling her became Liu Di again. At this time, the ghost behind him caught up to Liu Di and pushed her, but was bitten by the ghost.

"Ah..."

Zhang Qian screamed and sat up. She was still in a cold sweat and her heart was still dancing in the dream. After finding a kettle and taking a sip of cold water, she calmed down a little, how could she have such a terrible dream when she never slept. She glanced around and was surprised to find that Bai Ruolin was not in the tent. She pulled open the tent and the rain had stopped. The moonlight shone coldly, but there was no sign of Bai Ruolin in the empty camp. Last night, Bai Ruolin's words and her terrified look came to Zhang Qian's mind. She couldn't care less and ran out of the tent and cried, "Liu Di, Wu Shangli! Song Zhen! Everyone, get up, Bai Ruolin is gone!" The tent called everyone up.

"Ruolin disappeared? How did you disappear? When?" Wu Shangli yelled at Zhang Qian, as if Zhang Qian had lost Bai Ruolin.

"I didn't know she was gone when I woke up." Zhang Qian explained to everyone with an inexplicable uneasiness, "Where will she go in the middle of the night?"

"Maybe... I'll be back soon." Song Zhen looked at Tang Shiya and remembered her "disappearance".

"But how dare she walk around alone at night-she was so afraid last night that Zhou Feng's ghost was harming everyone, how dare she go out by herself." Zhang Qian had a very ominous premonition in her heart and her words became incoherent.

"Let's find each other separately!" Chen Shu yelled a little exasperatedly.

"Let's see if those are Bai Ruolin's footprints." Tang Shiya suddenly said.

There is a long series of footprints on the ground. You can see that they are footprints left by a pair of sandals. Among this team who are all wearing sneakers and sneakers, only Bai Ruolin is innocent and wears a pair of sandals. She also once I've been complaining about grass getting into my shoes, so everyone remembers it very well. Everyone's eyes followed the shoe prints until they reached the edge of the woods where the grass fell and no footprints were seen.

"She went to the woods." Zhang Qian murmured.

"Let's go to her, everyone bring the lights and remember not to be alone." There was a sense of helplessness in Chen Shu's tone, and everyone took the flashlight and called Bai Ruolin's name into the woods.

In the beginning, everyone was still together and gradually the distance from each other was widened, but no one dared to walk alone in twos and threes and they could see each other. Zhang Qian could see that Wu Shangli took Qin Changlu to the farthest, Song Zhen and Tang Shiya walked together, and Chen Shu followed them while Liu Di was by his side. Zhang Qian felt that she might be better off switching with Tang Shiya.

"Look at your feet." Liu Di reminded her. The lamp in his hand was dangling just to follow the road without calling Bai Ruolin's name.

"Bai Ruolin, Bai Ruolin!" Regardless of what he called, Zhang Qian became more and more anxious in her heart. Unconsciously, she walked to the head and a mountain wall appeared in front of her. Zhang Qian wanted to turn in another direction.

"Stop calling and I can't find her." Liu Di said suddenly and lightly.

"What did you say?" Zhang Qian stared at her at once.

Liu Di leaned against a tree and shrugged at her.

Zhang Qian rushed to him in a few steps and stared into his eyes and asked, "What did you just say?"

"Tell you not to waste your efforts and find that woman." Liu Ditan said again.

Zhang Qian felt a chill in her heart when she saw that she and Liu Di were the only people around her who seemed to have walked away. It was already very far away when she heard Wu Shangli yelling at Bai Ruolin. She took a deep breath and asked cautiously, "What did you do? What do you want to do?"

Liu Di stood up straight and walked towards her with a smile on his face.

Zhang Qian quickly backed away and stared at his face to guard against his next move until her back was leaning against a tree.

Liu Di came to her and supported the tree with his hands and looked down at Zhang Qian with a sudden smile: "Don't worry, no matter what others do, I will at least save you." He stroked Zhang Qian's head and let go she.

"You understand what happened to Bai Ruolin? What do you know?" Zhang Qian grabbed his arm.

Liu Di asked: "Really want to know?"

Zhang Qian nodded and looked at Liu Di's smile. She felt that this person seemed to know everything. She also wanted to know the truth, even if it brought danger and fear.

Liu Di took her hand from his arm and held it tightly with his own: "Then come with me. Maybe you will regret it if you know it. You are always so curious." His last sentence almost used a doting tone to say that Zhang Qian was also full of doubts. Listening to his words, it seemed that he knew himself very well.

"Did we know each other before?" Zhang Qian softly said the question in her heart.

"I don't know." Liu Di answered irrelevantly.

"I feel like I know you."

"Love at first sight?" Liu Di regained his glib tone.

Zhang Qian rolled his eyes at him. A man like Liu Di, who looks too handsome, behaves too frivolously, and is too "passionate" for women is exactly the type Zhang Qian doesn't like. She peeks at Liu Di and thinks that he is good in every aspect. I use it as a specimen of my "most hated man", but I don't know why I can feel at ease when I stay by his side. Now I'm walking in the jungle with him holding hands. Although the night wind is whistling through my ears, Lin Tao's shadows are overcast, but these days' unease And the fear was gradually put aside. Liu Di's hand was strong and warm. Zhang Qian suddenly realized that she was being held by a man and was about to throw him away when she heard Liu say, "This is it."

Zhang Qian looked around and saw them standing on a piece of grass in the woods. It seemed that the fire was not far from the camp, and she asked, "What's wrong here?"

"Aren't you looking for Bai Ruolin? She will die here." Liu Li said naturally.

Zhang Qian forced a smile and said, "Stop joking."

Liu Di pointed at the crushed grass with his foot and said, "The blood is still on the grass. The corpse was originally lying here."

Zhang Qian took a closer look at the long grass blades of the grass, and sure enough, the outline of the fallen grass was stained with a lot of blood, and the outline of the fallen grass also looked like someone had been lying on it. "Why are you doing this to scare me? Are there corpses there? "

"She waited so long to see the food and of course she swallowed it." Liu Di said with a half-smile.

"What the **** are you trying to say?"

"Want to see something else?"

"I want to know the truth, I want to know what happened!" Listening to Liu Gezhi's words, Zhang Qian was about to become hysterical.

"Well, I never refuse your request." Liu Di pretended to be wronged to face Zhang Qian, but looked forward and said softly, "Say Renren has come to him."

"Who?" Zhang Qian also heard footsteps walking over the leaves and couldn't help asking.

"You'll know when you see it." Liu Di whispered and suddenly hugged her waist from behind. Zhang Qian turned pale in fright and tried hard to break free from this satyr's arms, but Liu Di's strength was too great to break free. He whispered in Zhang Qian's ear, "Don't make a sound, don't move, don't be afraid, just watch carefully, no matter what happens. I'm blocking anything. Believe me, I stayed here to keep you safe, believe me." In his gentle but firm voice, Zhang Qian lost her judgment for a moment and let him hug her and step back.

The footsteps in front are getting closer and closer. Liu Di and Zhang Qian also retreated to the side of the mountain. Zhang Qian saw that there was nowhere to go and there was nowhere to hide. If you see it, you don't know where it will go. She was thinking about Liu Di's steps in her mind, but she didn't stop, and she continued to walk back step by step. When the vines heavily blocked her vision, Zhang Qian looked around in front of her, except for the heavy vines, she could see clearly to the left and right and behind, but it was pitch black. She stretched out her hand to explore around her but was held back by Liu Di.

"We are in the mountain wall..." Zhang Qian asked in disbelief.

"Don't be afraid to have me here."

"Who the **** are you? Why do you have magic?"

"It's not magic, it's sorcery." Liu Di said softly, "Look ahead, look carefully at the truth, everyone has come."

"Black magic?" No matter what will come out ahead, it will not surprise Zhang Qian more than what she is going through now. She must ask clearly.

Liu Di smiled and sighed that her character could never be changed at any time: "Remember, there are monsters in the world." He said in Zhang Qian's ear.

"Tong!" Zhang Qian turned around suddenly and looked at him with wide eyes. "You know Xue Tong. Where is she? Who is she?"

"Remember, you said that you met a 'ghost' as soon as you entered the university, so I was afraid, so I said I would stay with you for a year, but only for one year." Liu Di said softly.

"You are... Hitomi..." Zhang Qian's heart filled with some trivial memories. How could she have forgotten all about the encounter with monsters when she entered school? And at that time, I was afraid of who was saying, "I'll go with you, but only for one year. I can't stand being a woman all the time."

"You, you..." Zhang Qian grabbed Liu Di's clothes and many memories came together. She felt like she was about to faint, and she said, "Why do you keep teasing me, me, me..." fell.

"Don't cry." Liu Di's arms tightened a little. He didn't know how contradictory he was to stay by Zhang Qian's side. He would definitely accept him if he did what Zhang Qian would do, but how much time would he have for fifty years? Sixty years? Can it be longer? At that time, the poor person who fell into it was himself. He swore never to love humans again. Liu Di reached out and pressed Zhang Qian's forehead, and Zhang Qian's spirit immediately calmed down. Liu Di gently wiped away her tears and gently kissed her forehead to coax and persuade: "Forget it, forget what happened just now. Come and see the outside, don't you really want to know the truth?" Since she was very young, Liu Di I was afraid to see her cry, especially because the tears were for him.

Zhang Qian turned around and looked outside. For her, everything that had just happened has been buried deep in the bottom of her memory.

When Zhang Qian and Liu Di were talking, two people had already arrived. Through the re-hanging vines, Zhang Qian recognized Chen Shu and Qin Changlu, they were both bowing their heads and tossing in the grass, bushes, and trees. seems to be looking for something.

"They are looking for Bai Ruolin's body." Liu Di whispered in her ear.

"But..." Zhang Qian only said two words and saw another person walking out from behind the tree, but it was Wu Shangli. He looked at Chen Shu and Qin Changlu with a puzzled look and asked, "What are you doing? Is it Jolynn?"

Chen Shu shook his head, walked over to him and asked, "How could you be yourself? Where did you throw those two girls?"

"They're so afraid that I'll send them back to the camp. You two have not gone back to Liu Di and Zhang Qian, and of course I'll come out to find you. What are you doing digging through the grass? Do you have any clues?" He used his feet Kicking the grass for a blink of an eye, but saw something leaning over and picking up something from the ground and calling out, "This is not Ruo Lin's..."

Without waiting for Wu Shangli to finish speaking, Qin Changlu swooped up from behind and grabbed his neck with both hands. Wu Shangli struggled hard. Although he was physically strong, Chen Shu immediately jumped on him. Under the suppression of two big men, Wu Shangli's The resistance soon subsided. Chen Shu covered his mouth and pressed his hands and feet. Qin Changlu stuck his neck tightly for more than ten minutes. Wu Shangli's legs twitched a few times and then he stopped moving.

Zhang Qian wanted to rush over the moment Wu Shangli was attacked, but was hugged by Liu Di. She covered her mouth after watching this tragic scene: "He died..." Chen Shu and Qin Changlu were killed There was no panic in the expressions of the people. Their originally upright faces showed that they dragged Wu Shangli's body into the bushes, and then they talked with each other and left together.

After watching them leave, Liu Di relaxed his arms slightly.

Zhang Qian grabbed him by the collar and shouted, "Why don't you save him and watch him die!"

Liu Di shook his head: "She's there. If I try to save people, she'll do the same, it will only be more tragic." He thought in his heart that I just need to protect you and I don't care about other people. .

"He? Who?"

"The monster who kept his promise and stayed here for eight hundred years."

"Jiuying...you mean it's not a legend but there is a monster here?" Zhang Qian looked at Liu Di but found that his expression didn't look like he was joking, "You mean the monster killed them and ate them. ?"

"She's already here." As Liu Di spoke, a slender figure walked out of the woods.

"Bai Ruolin." Looking at her face, Zhang Qian saw the missing person.

Liu Di shook his head: "That's not your classmate Bai Ruolin—probably she likes to be someone she eats."

Bai Ruolin went straight to Wu Shangli's corpse and lifted the man's corpse out of the bushes with one hand and threw it down in an open space, then squatted down. Shi La" sounded Zhang Qian's eyes only when she saw that her hand had retrieved something **** and put it to her mouth, but Liu Di covered her eyes.

"She's a monster! She's eating people!" Zhang Qian was so frightened that she could barely stand and rely on Liu Di to hug her. Liu Di licked his lips: "It looks really delicious." But he immediately woke up and persuaded Zhang Qian.

"She killed Zhou Feng, right? Did she want to kill all of us and eat them?" Zhang Qian asked, shaking Liu Di with difficulty calming down.

"She didn't kill, she just ate the corpse." Liu Di looked at "Bai Ruolin" and felt sad that such a powerful monster was forced to swear that now he can only eat the corpses thrown away by others and still eat it She didn't even bother to look at food like this in the past. Once the humiliation and depression she suffered were exposed, the consequences would be terrifying.

"She swore an oath not to leave this mountain and not to hurt humans. She lived eight hundred years without food. Once someone killed someone near her, her appetite was whetted. Zhou Feng and Wu Shangli are male, so she only ate internal organs, and Tang Shiya and Bai Ruolin didn't even have any bones left."

"Isn't Tang Shiya still there..." Zhang Qian said halfway through, thinking of Tang Shiya's abnormal performance in the past two days, she stopped talking and looked at Liu Di.

Liu nodded: "Tang Shiya was the second to be killed after Zhou Feng and then she ate the body and turned into Tang Shiya and ran among you, waiting for the next dish with anticipation."

"Sorry, will Song Zhen be eaten alone with her just now..." Zhang Qian broke down in cold sweat.

"She won't kill, she vowed not to hurt human beings, and now she's just waiting there to eat. Zhou Feng should have been killed by Chen Shu, maybe Qin Changlu, one of them, and Bai Ruolin. Their accomplices. Probably the three of them had planned to kill Zhou Feng during this trip from the beginning. Chen Shu first covered him with a stone tablet of cultural relics, Bai Ruolin showed great interest, and Qin Changlu would compete with him again. Bai Ruolin said to Zhou Feng while others were not paying attention: 'Let's take a step early to find the stone tablet alone.' Zhou Feng must have agreed immediately. It's a pity that he secretly came to the agreed place early in the morning—the camper on the first day. There is a cliff not far away, do you remember? I think it was pre-arranged for Bai Ruolin to lead the camp there. When you girls make trouble, everything will be a matter of course. When Zhou Feng arrives there, Bai Ruolin will certainly not appear, but she will be waiting for him. He was pushed off the cliff and fell to his death. This incident would have been regarded as an accident: Zhou Feng stumbled and fell to his death in order to monopolize the stele, but she was here." Liu Di looked at the "Bai Ruolin" who was still eating. "She ate the entrails and put the rest of the body where you can see it, and the panic, palpitations, and murderous intentions spread among you like she wanted - no, she did something, she made it." The mudslide sealed you around here and waited with your mouth open.

The second is Tang Shiya who killed her should be Qin Changlu, so he was so panicked when he saw that she had changed into Tang Shiya. As for the reason for the murder. Didn't it say that Tang Shiya was Zhou Feng's ex-girlfriend? She probably saw some clues and suspected that when Chen Shu went to Qin Changlu for help, she sent sheep into the tiger's mouth.

The third is Bai Ruolin, probably killed by the two of them together. Tang Shiya, who should be dead, didn't die, and Bai Ruolin was so frightened that she wanted to confess everything and got rid of it.

The fourth Wu Shangli seems to be addicted to killing those two people...

Zhang Qian was worried about Song Zhenlai, who was alone in the camp, by the nervousness of his words.

I don't know when Bai Ruolin stood in front of this mountain wall, stretched out her hand and pulled out the vines and gently turned around and asked, "How am I better than the previous one?"

Zhang Qian hurriedly buried her face in Liu Di's arms when she realized she was so close. Liu Di smiled and said, "I think the last one is better."

"Really?" She shook her body and turned into Tang Shiya's appearance, suddenly "chichi" and asked with a smile: "Guess what will happen to me below?"

"Do you really want me to tell you?" Liu Di shrugged and hugged Zhang Qian tightly.

"You can leave at any time." She smiled sweetly, "But if you try to take any 'food'..." As she spoke, her hand passed through the stone wall and pressed it on Zhang Qian's neck. Zhang Qian felt as if a cold and slippery object rolled up her throat. Fear and suffocation surged up together. She felt Liu Di stretch out his hand and then passed out.

Liu Di grabbed Tang Shiya's wrist.

"It's the first time you dare to touch me in the two hundred years of knowing each other." Tang Shiya giggled and slipped her hands out of Liu Di's grasp. "Guess what's going to happen in the camp? I'm looking forward to it." After turning around and walking a few steps, he disappeared out of thin air.

Liu Di carried Zhang Qian out of the mountain wall and looked up at the sky where the dark clouds began to roll again and sighed softly. Now, let alone taking Zhang Qian, even if he wanted to leave, it was not easy.

We can only wait until tomorrow...

It was almost noon when Zhang Qian woke up. As soon as Song Zhen saw her wake up and hug her, she burst into tears, "Qian, you are going to scare me to death! You scared me to death! When Liu Di brought you back, I thought you were going to die..."

"I..." Zhang Qian propped up her body with her arms and tried to recall the events before she passed out. She glanced across the camp: Chen Shu and Qin Changlu were sitting side by side, a little further away, Tang Shiya snuggled up against Liu Di and seemed to fall asleep . While she was lying beside the tent, Song Zhen stood by her side and the six people were divided into three groups to keep a distance from each other.

"Wu Shangli...Bai Ruolin..." Zhang Qian vaguely remembered something, but as long as she thought about it further, her headache felt like it was about to burst, she groaned and lay back weakly. "Bai Ruolin hasn't come back and Wu Shangli has disappeared." Song Zhen said in a low voice.

In addition, Zhang Qian was in a coma, which is why she didn't hurry today.

When Liu Di returned with the unconscious Zhang Qian, no one asked why, just like Bai Ruolin and Wu Shangli didn't come back and no one suggested to look for them. Everyone just sat silently as if waiting for something to happen.

The time in the silence and waiting seems to be slow and it seems to pass very quickly. Before you know it, the sky is getting darker.

"Is it going to rain again?" Zhang Qian's sanity never recovered, lying there looking up at the sky and muttering to herself.

"Yeah, it's going to rain again." Song Zhen patted her hand and said, "As long as it gets dark, it will rain."

But none of us planned to go back to the tent to shelter from the rain and still sat there.

"I'm hungry." Tang Shiya said to Liu drily.

Liu Di stretched out her hand and flicked her forehead with a smile and said, "If you eat me, forget it."

"Disgusting." Tang Shiya waved and stood up. She seemed to be planning to get something to eat by herself, rummaging around, and walked to Qin Changlu's side intentionally or unintentionally.

"What are you doing!" Qin Changlu ran away with a strange cry and pointed at Tang Shiya.

"I'm hungry if you're not hungry for cooking." Tang Shiyabai picked up the lighter from where he was sitting just now.

"What the **** are you?" Qin Changlu suddenly shouted, pulling Tang Shiya's arm, "I don't care what you are, I'm not afraid! I will kill you, I will kill you!" Said After ferociously stuck Tang Shiya's neck, she was still shouting "Kill you! Kill you!"

"What are you doing! Are you crazy!" Chen Shu rushed over to try to separate them.

"Leave me alone! I'm going to kill her monster! I'll definitely kill her this time!" Qin Changlu's face became violent and he increased his strength fiercely.

"Crack!" Chen Shu gave him a slap lesson and said, "Calm down and stop making trouble."

"Calm down? Hahahahaha" Qin Changlu laughed wildly. He pushed Tang Shiya away and walked towards Chen Shu. Tang Shiya fell to the ground and seemed to be unable to struggle for a while, but a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and she stretched out her tongue and licked her lips. Qin Changlu pressed Chen Shu to point at his nose and said, "You told me to calm down? Show me calmly first! Aren't you shaking all over now? Aren't you scared to death!"

"Only when we calm down can we hope to go out!"

"Go out! Hahahaha we can't go out if we can't go out! Look at Zhou Feng, Wu Shangli, Bai Ruolin, Tang Shiya, they are all here and they won't let us go out!"

"Sure enough, you killed them!" Song Zhen suddenly stood up and pointed at Chen Shu and Qin Changlu. Chen Shu's eyes almost sparked when they met her. "I've known for a long time that the person you are dealing with is Bai Ruolin, right? Because of your position, Qin Changlu was taken away by Zhou Feng with the power of money because of the job you had planned after graduation. Bai Ruolin was emotionally and financially entangled. The three of you hit it off and plan to kill him!" Song Zhen said word by word, "Then Bai Ruolin, she probably got in your way, so she wanted to kill her to silence Wu Shangli? Did he die because he saw something he shouldn't have seen? !”

"Hahahaha and you! And you!" Qin Changlu rushed towards Tang Shiya again like crazy.

Chen Shu forced Song Zhen step by step with a sullen face. Song Zhen was not afraid but took a few steps to meet him.

"I said earlier that women shouldn't be too smart."

"If I were smart, I wouldn't have loved a scum like you!" Song Zhen didn't give in.

Chen Shu has been in a state of panic for a few days, but he didn't let himself lose his mind like Qin Changlu did and think carefully about how to control all this in his own hands. If there is no one alive... He looked at Song Zhen, Zhang Qian, Tang Shiya, and Liu Di to deal with only Liu Di...

Song Zhen had already guessed his plan and raised his chin to watch him breathing heavily.

A gust of wind rushed over Chen Shu and flashed to the side in a timely manner, but a long wound was still drawn on his left arm.

Qin Changlu was pressing towards him with a Swiss Army knife in his hand, still saying, "Go to hell! All of you die! It's enough for me to live alone." Behind him, Tang Shiya lay on the ground not moving at all.

It turned out that Chen Shu was not the only one who had this idea. Chen Shu slowly stepped back and thought about how to deal with this lunatic. It was enough to have one person who survived.

"Song Zhen Song Zhen!" Zhang Qian struggled to stand up and tried to pull back her friend's limbs, but she had no strength. Liu Di came to her side at some point and put his hand on the knife's forehead lightly. The warmth came from his palm, and Zhang Qian felt that she was much better for a moment.

"Are you better? It's time for us to go." Liu Di said, holding her hand.

"Go?"

A huge thunderstorm hit the sky and the ground suddenly fell. During the thunderstorm, Chen Shu and Qin Changlu were entangled with each other, and their faces showed an extremely ferocious look. Seeing their expressions in the lightning, Zhang Qian's memory suddenly woke up and couldn't help but let out a scream. At the same time, she saw that Tang Shiya had climbed up and stood aside with a smile on her face, waiting for the result she wanted.

In an instant, the sky lit up as if the thick clouds had been torn apart. Even Tang Shiya looked up.

"Go!" Liu Di grabbed Zhang Qian and pulled her away. Zhang Qian ran with him a few steps and suddenly shouted, "Song Zhen! And Song Zhen!" Song Zhen ran to pull her along.

Liu Di stomped his foot and added one person to make him even more uncertain, but he also knew that Zhang Qian would never leave his friend behind. He took a few steps over and pulled a leg in one hand and ran into the woods.

My eyes are sore and astringent when running in the heavy rain There was a beating of heartbeats...the lights in front of them kept shaking and getting closer and closer until they could distinguish the two headlights of the car.

Car? How can there be a car on this mountain that is difficult to even walk on foot.

The car is an ordinary red Santana, washed by the rain, very clean, and there is a "hat" on the roof with the words "for rent" on. There is also an "empty car" light on the front window.

"Get in the car." Without allowing them to think too much, Liu Di pushed them into the car and quickly sat in the front seat.

The driver pressed the meter and the car rushed out like an arrow. Driving at a speed no less than that of a highway in this forest, except for the rain hitting the windows, the wipers wiped back and forth. The car was still silent. Outside the car window, even with the lights on, you can still see only a rainy world. Lightning flashes in the sky from time to time, and thunder rolls like chasing the car.

The car came to a sudden stop.

A woman approached slowly ahead of the headlights.

"Tang Shiya." Zhang Qian and Song Zhen both felt the chill in their hearts and hugged each other.

Liu Di opened the car door and walked down until she walked in front of her. In the sound of the rain, his languid voice is still very clear: "There are a lot of eight people to keep six, so don't be so greedy, okay?"

"I said that you can leave at any time, but it's only you." Tang Shiya looked at him with a sarcastic look.

The driver who had been driving silently also walked down and stood beside Liu Di. He raised his hand and slowly flashed a single knife.

Zhang Qian suddenly noticed that the headlights cast Liu Di's shadow on the rain screen. It turned out to be an image of a long stretched arm with sharp claws growing in the front of the rain screen, twisting constantly in the rain screen, but the driver beside him had no shadow at all .

A red shadow inserted between them. The shadow is a fiery red bird. It seems that even the rain curtain can steam. It vibrated its wings between Liu Di and the driver, so that a mist was formed in the rain.

"Don't let the fish die when the time is right." Liu Di said calmly, "We've known each other for so long, don't you lose face?"

Tang Shi Ya Si thought about it for a while and suddenly smiled: "Then don't forget me when we meet again in ten years." After she finished speaking, she waved her hand and disappeared into the rain.

When Liu Di and the driver both returned to the car, Zhang Qian was obviously relieved to hear them at the same time.

"You can go back." Liu Di turned around and looked at Zhang Qian with a hoarse voice. "I'll take you back now."

Zhang Qian opened her eyes and groaned softly.

"Qian, you're awake! That's great!" Song Zhen jumped over all of a sudden, she touched Zhang Qian's head with one hand and the other hand on her head and nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, it's not burning anymore. ."

"Where am I?" Zhang Qian looked weakly at the ~IndoMTL.com~ dormitory, where else would it be. "Song Zhen wiped her sweat with a hot towel and said, "You fell asleep during the seven-day holiday, and all the people in the dormitory have gone. "

"Really..." Zhang Qian remembered that she had burned down the day before the holiday, but she didn't expect to be sick for seven days. Are you going to climb a mountain? Could it be because of me?"

"What kind of mountain are you going to climb?" Song Zhen said with open hands, "We broke up with him and Bai Ruolin went to a place I saw with my own eyes. I gave him a slap in the face and told them to go climbing." Her voice was momentary. He lowered his head and looked out of the window again and said, "Fortunately, I didn't go there. You know, it has been raining for the past few days. There has been a mud-rock flow on Kaiming Mountain, and the road has been blocked. I don't know how the people on the mountain are organizing a rescue."

"Debris flow." This word touched Zhang Qian. She seemed to have had a nightmare like that during her illness, a dream of corpses, mudslides, heavy rain and death. There is another person in the dream who only remembers that he has a pair of very warm hands...

Zhang Qian propped herself up and sat up and shook her drowsy head vigorously. The sky outside the window was covered with dark clouds and it seemed that it was about to rain.
