Chapter 88: China

Views:

The cliffs of Tongchui Mountain in Province C have always been an important local tourist attraction. Because they are too steep, some of the mountain slopes are almost vertical, so unless they are some special scientific research institutions and extreme sports enthusiasts, there is no such thing as One would want to be near here.

According to the villagers in the village at the bottom of the mountain, there have been many accidents here. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, there have been many cases where people disappeared after entering the mountain and no one could be found. , Even the locals dare not set foot in the mountain, and at this moment, when Xiao Nanzhu walked through a sparse forest on the top of the back hill alone, he took advantage of the night to go up this hill that is said to have a thousand-year history, and even Xiao Nanzhu was not allowed to Do not admit that this place is indeed easy to go up and down, and there are many dangers, and there is a risk of being buried here at any time.

When he was shopping at the small shop at the bottom of the mountain just now, he took the opportunity to talk to the other villagers. Because the local person whom the tour guide found was only one-sided, so Xiao Nanzhu was not at ease. As a result, the people in the village were somewhat impressed by the old Yang who wrote ancient characters, and the description was not too different from the middle-aged man at the beginning, and the thoughtful Xiao Nanzhu was lying on the counter of the canteen while smoking. By the way, I borrowed this child's homework book to record the appearance of this old Yang.

"Wear glasses, have thin hair, wear leather shoes, and a denim jacket... Alas, it's been almost a month or two since I've been in the mountains... Where would Lao Yang and these people go if they didn't die..."

Muttering in his mouth, he lit a fire sign, and the fire butterfly shaking his wings dutifully guided the road ahead. Xiao Nanzhu also tried his best to pick a path that was easy to walk, but the speed was obviously not fast due to the terrain restrictions. go. Because he has experience in the army, he is very physically strong, and it is easy to get up with a few points on the mountain wall. He carries some things such as hemp rope and hammer on his back, which are borrowed from the bottom of the mountain. Simple equipment, at this moment, he held a flashlight with one hand and slowly walked up the naturally formed trail in the mountains, and the more he went up, the more he felt that the mountain was strangely different.

There is a lot of fog in the mountains, and this cliff is no exception. From the bottom of the mountain, the top of the mountain seems to be wrapped in layers of clouds and mist, and everything inside is invisible. This kind of humid place is generally insects and the like. There will be more. Now that it is summer, there will definitely be no less mosquitoes, but Xiao Nanzhu is walking around in the bushes, but he is stunned that he has not seen a single mosquito. The whole mountain is quiet and scary. When he thought so thoughtfully about what was wrong, he once again heard the kind of empty sound he heard when he was at the village entrance at the bottom of the mountain.

This time, these strange voices came closer to him. Because of the perception of danger, Xiao Nanzhu couldn't let a group of unknown people follow him like this, so after thinking about it, he still found a The place took advantage of the dark lights to lie down and hide, and then slowly put his hand behind him.

"Peng Zu Baiji! Go!"

Lowering his voice so as not to disturb the four or five shadows hovering above his head, Xiao Nanzhu threw two calendar papers into the air with his fingers, and the calendar papers instantly turned into two extremely bright sky fires illuminating half of the sky , and before Xiao Nanzhu, who was lying among the rocks, could see what the black shadow was, he was startled by a sharp chirping of birds blasting in his ears.

As far as he could see, giant birds with feathers like fiery flames were hovering in the sky. Perhaps they were frightened by the sky fire just now. These four or five giant birds with golden eyes kept flapping their wings, accompanied by their chirping. The entire mountain stream shook for a while, and the gravel kept hitting Xiao Nanzhu's head, making him unable to dodge.

Such strange-looking animals would normally frighten a group of people, but Xiao Nanzhu knows a little bit about the things of our ancestors, so he guessed that after just looking at the general characteristics of these giant birds. It should be the Chongming bird that Ji Zai said was raised as a chicken by the Chinese people today.

From a scientific point of view, Chongming birds should actually be regarded as the ancestors of chickens, but in ancient times, such animals should be regarded as beasts, because although they do not attack humans, they are even friendly to humans, but whether they are jackals or tigers The leopard, or the evil demon, didn't dare to rashly approach the flaming Chongming bird.

Because as long as they are irritated, they will shake off their feathers, and these feathers will become real fire when they fall to the ground, turning everything into ashes, and when I think of Ji Zaiqian's exhortation, I must not put them on the ground. After the broken birds were broken, the elder sisters-in-law in the village kept laying eggs. Xiao Nanzhu could only look at these chicken ancestors who looked no different from monsters with a headache, and then took out half of the calendar paper that he had already taken out. Take it back.

Chongmingbird's anger is easy to come and go. It is estimated that it will dissipate after a while. Xiao Nanzhu is obviously not interested in fighting with a few hens flying all over the sky, so he just hides behind the stone wall and thinks about waiting After a while, he waited for them to fly away and then came out, but he didn't take the initiative to cause trouble, but suddenly there was a scream from the mountain road not far away, followed by Xiao Nanzhu, who had not seen anyone since he hit the mountain. Then I saw a flat-headed young man wearing an old gray-green military uniform and red sleeves rushing out from the side path while shouting.

"Youkai!! Youkai!! Youkai are here again!! Comrades! Come and see!!"

With the shouts of the flat-headed youth in military uniform, a group of men and women in military uniforms with old-fashioned flashlights and mountaineering bags rushed out from behind, but the strange thing was that they didn't look like they did today in terms of their clothes and various hiking equipment. In this era, it is more like the dress of the last century before and after the reform and opening up, and before Xiao Nanzhu could take a closer look at the situation of these people, he was frightened by such a large group of people who suddenly appeared. Then, after raising his head and screaming sharply, he suddenly began to slap his body violently.

The fire that was falling like a dense fire fell from the sky like rain in an instant. The group of young people were so frightened that they quickly covered their heads with various things, but their clothes were still set on fire. They thought frantically. The fire was to be put out, but the sparks ignited by Toba Shigeaki could not be extinguished, which made some girls who were a little less timid cry directly. Nan Zhu also quickly pulled out a few calendar papers hidden in his cuffs, and then threw out another one when he got close to the cigarette he was biting on his mouth.

"The Grain Rain is here! The rain is falling! The fire in all directions is extinguished!"

As soon as the calendar paper with Gu Yu's soul printed on it was ignited, even if Gu Yu was thousands of miles away at the moment, today was not the day that Gu Yu could be dominated by Xiao Nanzhu, so Xiao Nanzhu's voice had not yet fallen. The entire mountain road was a fiery red fire, which was gradually extinguished by a sudden heavy rain.

In the clouds and mist, only a young and pretty woman in blue clothes can be seen indistinctly spreading the rain. Those giant Chongming birds are looking a bit funny with their wet hair hanging down after their anger has been extinguished, but Xiao Nanzhu After frowning and looking at the group of young people behind him who stared at him with ghostly eyes, he didn't have time to say anything.

"Shocking Zhe now! Thundering! Evil ghosts from all sides!"

The blue-red thunder and lightning suddenly split the sky, and Jingzhe, who was dressed in blue, waved his sleeves. Qingjun's face was looming in the clouds, and the thunderous thunder fell from his sleeves. Those Chongming birds were also terrified when they saw this situation, and they flew away in panic. After confirming that the danger was over and waving Gu Yu and Jing Zhe back, Xiao Nanzhu was almost slapped in the face by an engineer shovel as soon as he turned around.

"Ehhhh! Why is this!"

He easily avoided the attack of the engineer shovel. Xiao Nanzhu was kind enough to save people, but he was obviously speechless when he was treated like this by the seven or eight young men who were so frightened. It's all dust and blood, and these black men and women who were burned all over were not much better. The ragged clothes were not much different from beggars. In such a state, both sides seemed to be a little embarrassed, and they didn't wait. Xiao Nanzhu continued to say something, and the big man who just took the lead in throwing him with a shovel started stammering and shouting.

"Where did you come from! I... We are all communist workers, peasants and soldiers! No! I'm not afraid of you! Comrades! Classmates! Let's gather together! Let's fight against this monster!!"

Witnessing the astonishing scene of Xiao Nanzhu driving away the few Chongming birds just now, these young men and women dressed in strange and old-fashioned manners were obviously frightened, and the words in their mouths were incoherent. What did Xiao Nanzhu think? The appearance of these people is not right, but for a while, it is impossible to say what is wrong. After all, if these people were just around here, he would not notice anything for no reason, but just look at the shoes they wear and the belts It was obvious that he went up the mountain to collect some sample information. Thinking like this, Xiao Nanzhu's expression became a little complicated, and when he subconsciously ignored the appearance of these people avoiding panic, he forced the flashlight on their faces one by one. After scanning it again, Rao Shi Xiao Nanzhu was a little surprised by the sudden situation in front of him.

"You... you are all students of Pingdingshan Botanical University, right?!"

As mentioned earlier, several groups of people have disappeared from the cliffs of Tongchui Mountain over the years. The time period for these people to disappear has spanned nearly 80 years. Plant students came to this mountain to investigate, but in the end they completely disappeared in the depths of this mountain.

In order to make the subsequent tourists who come to visit nearby realize the danger of Tongchui Mountain itself, the photos of the missing persons and some briefing stickers at that time are still posted on the small blackboard at the entrance of the village at the bottom of the mountain. At the bottom of the mountain, Xiao Nanzhu was bored and stood there watching for a while, but this rough impression was enough for him to recognize that the eight young men and women in front of him were the ones who disappeared in this mountain eighty years ago. There are eight students.

"Li Peng, are you saying that you think you have only walked in this mountain for less than four hours?"

Sitting on the edge of the fire and patting his dirty coat, Xiao Nanzhu spent a long time convincing the shouting unearthed cultural relics to believe his words. At this moment, he seemed a little exhausted. He would bump into so many people who should have been dead for decades. On the one hand, he felt that Lao Yang, who had only disappeared for about two months, would not die. On the other hand, he also felt strange about this mountain. More and more curious.

"Yeah, the classmates all came up together after dinner at the bottom of the mountain, from 5:30 to 9:20, didn't they just not arrive for four hours? Everyone's watches are very accurate, we put The two roasted sweet potatoes in the lunch box are still warm... And, although we got lost because of some problems, we still know how much time has passed... how... how could it be like what you said ... it's been so long..."

Unable to control his own out-of-control emotions, if Xiao Nanzhu hadn't reported their names one by one and explained the situation in detail, these faceless students would not be willing to sit down and tell him about their affairs in detail. Their faces were pale, their necks were full of sweat, and the two girls were crying in fear, as if they were about to faint at any time. On the one hand, it was the nightmare-like encounter they had just experienced, on the other hand, it was also because Xiao Nanzhu told them a fact that they couldn't even imagine.

They thought they had only experienced four hours, but it has been 80 years outside. Everyone who knew them in the outside world thought they were already dead, but they didn't even know how to get out of this mountain. The fact that everyone's backs are chilled and their hairs are counted down is almost driving these students who are only in their early twenties crazy, and Xiao Nanzhu frowned helplessly after lighting a cigarette for himself. They analyzed,

"I just showed you my ID card. I'm not kidding. It's really been 80 years outside. Maybe for some reason that can't be determined yet, when you first went up the mountain, the time was with you Your body is stagnant, don't be afraid now, since I meet you, I will definitely take you out..."

"But... But how can you be sure that you will be able to escape... We... none of us felt what happened. Eighty years have passed like this... "

A faint and timid voice suddenly sounded, interrupting Xiao Nanzhu's words. Xiao Nanzhu, who heard the words, was obviously stunned, but looked at the little girl with two big braids huddled in the corner, for a while. He also felt that there was some truth to this, Xiao Nanzhu pinched the cigarette and thought about it, then raised his head to look at the night in the sky and said,

"It took me no more than 15 minutes from going up the mountain to appearing here. Of course, according to the rules of this ghost place, I may have missed an unknown amount of time, but I don't know if you have noticed, since I met you There has been a little change in the mountain, the most obvious being..."

When the words fell, Xiao Nanzhu slapped his palm on the calf of the young man named Li Peng. The young man screamed in fright, scaring the people around him enough. Seeing this, Xiao Nanzhu was speechless. After scolding and shouting for nothing, then he spread out his palm with a pool of blood and said with a smile,

"Mosquitoes appeared, and other things that were alive during this time period must have also appeared. What you are experiencing now is a normal time. Maybe my intrusion broke the situation you were originally trapped in, or maybe it was something else. Other reasons have temporarily restored this stagnant mountain to normal, in short, no matter what happens next..."

- "You all have to listen to me."
