The visibility of the trees is really low. From a distance, everyone can only see a figure hanging on the branch.
"Wait, shouldn't it be a hanged ghost?" Wen Lang stuck out his tongue as he spoke.
Lou Fan chuckled, "Wen Lang, why are you getting less and less courageous, I'm going to laugh at you."
Wen Lang spoke stiffly, "Don't you think the long tongue of the hanged ghost is disgusting?"
"Go and have a look." Qin Tan observed for a while, but he couldn't tell whether it was a human or something else, he could only roughly see the shape of a human being.
The six of them wrapped ropes around their waists and walked there together. When they walked in, they found that their clothes looked familiar. When they got closer, they turned out to be Chen Man who was with Gao Yi. At this moment, he was hung upside down, his eyes were closed tightly, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.
Qin Tan took a few steps forward, stretched out his hand to sniff, but was pulled back by Lou Fan, "Be careful."
He responded, stretched out his hand and stretched out his hand, exhaled a faint breath from his nose, he was in a coma.
"Come and put the man down."
Everyone got the man down from the tree together, Jiang Dong slapped him on the face and shouted for a long time without any response. He took out a few sips of water, then broke the chocolate and stuffed it into his mouth, finally adding water and calories to him.
After a while, Chen Man still didn't respond, Jiang Dong took out a medicine from the bag and fed him two.
"This medicine is a bit like Suxiao Jiuxin Pill."
Seeing everyone staring at him, Jiang Dong explained.
After a while, Chen Man finally woke up slowly, saw six heads covering the top of his head, and screamed in fright, the six people were startled by him instead.
Wen Lang covered his heart, "Mom, what's your name, it scared me to death."
Chen Man finally came back to his senses, and sat up on his hands, "It's really you, why did you come in?"
Jiang Dong helped the man up and handed the water over, saying: "You have been in here for a day and a night, we will come in to look for you, and see if there are any clues by the way."
Seeing that he was a little more awake, Qin Tan asked him, "What's the matter with you, what happened to you?"
"One day and one night?" Chen Man shook his head, frowned and said, "We lost our way after we came in. We couldn't tell the direction at all, so we had to walk by feeling. When it was getting dark, we fell into a trap for some reason. We fell in a daze, and suddenly a group of people in black robes appeared. They were all wearing black robes and big black hats, and they couldn’t see their faces at all. They arrested the captain and Dayong. was hung up."
six people:…
This is really a real-life version of talking to death. If they didn't come, or didn't see him, maybe he would starve to death here.
Qin Tan asked: "Is that trap nearby? Is there no sharp weapon in it?"
Chen Man shook his head, "I don't know, they tied us up and walked for a while before hanging me up. The trap is very deep and there are no sharp weapons inside."
"Do you know where Gao Yi and Fan Dayong were taken?"
Chen Man shook his head dejectedly, "I don't know. After I was hung up, I watched them being taken away, but I really don't know where they are going. It's almost the same in this forest."
The woods are indeed similar at first glance, even the trees are similar in size.
When Chen Man had almost rested, and his physical and mental strength had recovered, Lou Fan chose a random direction to walk. Chen Man had no doubts, after all, he was chosen randomly.
Not long after walking, Qin Tan stopped Lou Fan and pointed forward. Lou Fan stood still, and the people behind him followed suit, staring at Qin Tan who was going forward.
Chen Man looked forward carefully for a long time, but he didn't find anything wrong. But he thought in his heart that it should be a trap, and they had been tricked once before.
Qin Tan took a few steps forward, and stopped at a place that didn't seem to have any abnormalities with the surrounding environment. There was a small stone half a meter in front of him. After carefully looking at it for a while, he poked it with the Tang knife again, and then moved to the side. After observing it almost, he found a big rock not far away that was carried by one person, and after lifting it, he walked to the place he had marked and smashed it down hard.
The stone fell with a plop, and a deep pit immediately appeared in the place where it was hit. This time, there were sharp wooden thorns in the pit, which made the hair stand on end.
Lou Fan went to the edge of the pit and looked down, "Tsk, fortunately, Brother Qin's investigative skills are top-notch. If this falls, he won't die or his skin will peel off."
Wen Lang and Chen Shuyang immediately nodded in agreement, and Chen Man was even more thankful that the three of them didn't fall into this kind of pit, otherwise they would really be poked a hole.
Qin Tan looked around, his eyes were sharp, and he said seriously: "There are still traps ahead, you all follow me, it will take too much time to find them one by one."
Everyone looked over immediately. Although they didn't see where the trap was, they didn't doubt Qin Tan's judgment at all, and all of them looked serious.
"Does this mean that we are very close to their residence?" Lou Fan said.
Qin Tan nodded, "It's very possible, generally speaking, the closer you are to the place of residence, the more traps will be there to defend against wild animals and enemies."
Chen Shuyang was puzzled, "It's not that the closer to the range of human activities, there should be traces of life, but there are no traces of human life here."
Nie Feng patted his head and said, "Why not, but it's very primitive."
Chen Shuyang looked along the place he pointed, and there were some stones and bones around the pit. Looking carefully, they looked a bit like stone knives and bone knives.
Chen Shuyang stared, and looked at Nie Feng in disbelief, "That's what you said, right?"
Nie Feng: "Why not? It's just a little more primitive."
Chen Shuyang muttered: "Where is the originality, it is a primitive person at all."
Lou Fan looked at those tools thoughtfully, Qin Tan greeted everyone and asked everyone to follow along. Walking carefully on the road, everyone followed Qin Tan and walked slowly. After walking a few steps, Qin Tan would stop and check before walking. Walked so cautiously for half an hour.
Half an hour later, a rocky mountain appeared in front of him. It is said that it is a stone mountain, but it is not like a mountain. The mountain is not high, but the stone wall is black. Qin Tan stopped to look at the stone wall, and the others also looked around.
There are many traces of human life around, but as Nie Feng said, these traces of life are very primitive. There are some stone piers around, some with stone knives, and there are pits on the side of the land. The primitive ones are only tools, but the cultivated crops are not primitive in style.
Qin Tan walked to the place where the stone wall was sunken, it looked like a cave, knocked around, and then squatted down to check.
"There is an entrance here." Qin Tan pulled open a place, which was covered by something, and he couldn't see it from the outside.
Lou Fan looked at the entrance and guessed, "Could this be where they live? Shall we go down and have a look?"
Chen Man immediately said: "Of course we have to go down, the captain and the others are still below, we are going to rescue them."
Wen Lang chuckled, "We won't come regardless of you, we have to plan well if we want to go down, otherwise we just rush down like this? Can we save people?"
I really hate this kind of person who only cares about himself. Is the whole world fucking
Chen Man blushed and was so angry that he could only look at Qin Tan. After all, Qin Tan was the captain, and it was the captain who had the final say.
Lou Fan thought for a while and said, "Don't be in a hurry, you have to say hello first. I don't think those people in black robes have any malicious intentions. If they really wanted to do something, they wouldn't spare your life."
After speaking, he asked Qin Tan to pull open the entrance, revealing a hole with a muddy step below it.
Lou Fan cleared his throat and shouted towards the entrance of the cave: "Everyone, we passed by the village outside the ghost lake and saw the true faces of the villagers by chance. Then we strayed into the woods, and our companions met you again. I think you encountered difficulties. If you don't mind , we can help you."
Wen Lang asked softly, "Brother Lou, did you just say that?"
Lou Fan asked him, "Who do you think these men in black robes are?"
Wen Lang thought for a while, then shook his head.
Chen Shuyang thought for a moment and asked, "Could they be real villagers outside?"
Lou Fan nodded appreciatively, "Yes, I wasn't sure at first, but along the way, these traces of life can be seen to be made by people who are familiar with the labor, as well as the primitive tools, the surrounding crops, and this hole. I believe that other people are a little guessing, so I think these people should be villagers who used to live in the outside village, the village was occupied by those ghosts, and they had to go into the woods to live."
Several people were talking, and after waiting for a while, there was still no movement at the entrance of the cave.
Lou Fan asked Wen Lang to yell again, louder. Wen Lang yelled again according to what he just said, Lou Fan just didn't want to yell.
This time, not long after, there was a sound from below the hole, and then five people in black robes came out. Their whole bodies were covered under black robes, and they also wore black hoods on their heads, which were so tightly covered that they couldn't even see a trace of their bodies.
The leader was hunchbacked and very short, but it could be seen that he was the leader among them. He stared at them for a long time without speaking.
Lou Fan could only say: "We are really here to help you, we still have companions in the village by the ghost lake, and I want to ask you how to get out."
The man in black waited until he finished speaking, then waved at them, and walked down the cave first.
They looked at each other with joy on their faces, and followed the man in black to go down the stairs. The cave was very dark, with almost no light, but the black-robed man in front seemed to be unrestricted at all, walking very steadily. The few people upstairs had no choice but to take out their flashlights to light their way and caress their way down.
The stairs are very long, the air is dull, and there is a strong smell of mud. When I feel that I can't breathe, I finally set foot on the flat ground.
This is a cave. The cave is lit with torches, and they are not even pulled. Dozens of people in black robes gather together. They are doing their own things. When they saw a few strangers coming, some stopped, and some were still working. .
Lou Fan looked at their non-stop moving hands, and suddenly stopped, his whole body was aroused with layers of goosebumps.
