The two, a man and a woman, were carrying a huge bag on their backs, and they were covered in dirt, like clay figurines that had just crawled out of the ground.
When everyone came out of the tent, they saw these two people at a glance. Lin Jue came out first. At this time, he asked a little unhappy: "What are you two doing?"
"We're here for a trip." The man replied first, but his eyes flinched and fluttered, revealing that he was lying. The woman stood still and kept looking out the door, as if she was afraid of something outside the door.
"Traveling?" Lin Jue said, "It's so far from here to travel here?" She said simply, "Either tell the truth, or go out for me now."
"I said, I said." As soon as she heard that she would be kicked out, before the man spoke, the woman's emotions collapsed first, and she cried, "Don't let me out, we're here to find treasure—"
"The two fools who were fooled by someone again." Xu Jian said, "Even if there is a treasure here, can the two of you find it?"
The man glared at the woman, showing a flattering look to the crowd, saying that they had indeed found nothing and encountered some strange things.
Listening to the man's words, Zhou Jiayu asked directly, "What's in your bag?"
When the man heard this, his expression froze for a moment, "It's just some of my daily necessities..."
Zhou Jiayu said: "Since it is a daily necessities, there is nothing to hide, take it out and see."
"Why take it out?" Unexpectedly, after hearing Zhou Jiayu's request, the man turned his face instantly and said, "This is my own bag, what right do you have to look at."
"Then get out." Lin Jue's face turned cold.
"Why should I get out, is this your home with your names written on it?" the man said stubbornly, "I'm going to stay inside, you can go by yourself if you have the ability."
Hearing this, Shen Yiqiong rolled up his sleeves and was about to step forward, but was stopped by Zhou Jiayu.
Shen Yiqian said: "Can..." He thought it was Zhou Jiayu's heart softening, but who knew that the next moment he saw Zhou Jiayu take out the small paper from his pocket, and he opened his mouth and said, "Little paper, take that man Throw it for me outside the door."
Xiao Zhi left his pocket, instantly regained his height of one meter two, rolled up his sleeves and rushed up.
The man was stunned when he looked at Xiao Zhi, and shouted in horror, "Ghost—"
Xiao Zhi rushed in front of the man, knocked him down with one punch, and then dragged him out the door by the collar.
The woman realized that she was wrong and began to cry and plead for the man, and the man curled up in a ball because of the severe pain, like a shrimp.
Zhou Jiayu was expressionless, while the others watched with smiles, and no one wanted to tell Xiao Zhi to stop.
When he was finally dragged to the door, the man's emotions completely collapsed.
Only then did Zhou Jiayu call Xiao Zhi's name and let him put the man down.
Xiao Zhi put down the man, ran back to Zhou Jiayu's side, raised his head for praise, Zhou Jiayu crouched down and touched his head, and reached out to tidy up its rolled up sleeves.
Zhou Jiayu took care of Xiao Zhi's clothes, stood up and looked at the man and woman again.
Facing Zhou Jiayu's gaze this time, the two were completely cowardly. The woman cried and told the truth, saying that they did come here when they heard that there was a baby here, but after they came, they found that there was nothing here. , I just took something and wanted to take it back and sell it.
Then they found all kinds of mess in the bag carried by the woman, including the incense burner in the Meng family ancestral hall.
"You dare to take this thing?" Xu Jian stared.
The two of them shrank to the ground, lowered their heads and shivered, not daring to speak at all.
"Forget it, leave them alone." Zhou Jiayu said, "There seems to be something outside the door..."
"Outside the door?" Lin Jue was a little puzzled. She didn't feel anything. "Is there something? Why can't I feel it?"
Zhou Jiayu briefly described what he saw. From just now, the burnt smell had not disappeared, and had been lingering in his nostrils.
But seeing the faces of the people in the yard were a little dazed, even Lin Zhushui didn't seem to feel anything strange outside the door.
"I really didn't feel it." Xu Jian said, "Why don't you open the door and take a look?"
Lin Jue said, "Open the door and take a look."
Thinking of the picture just now, Zhou Jiayu still had some lingering fears, Lin Zhushui seemed to sense his shaking, reached out and held his hand, and then exerted a little force.
Zhou Jiayu moved in his heart and nodded: "Okay."
Shen Yiqiong volunteered to open the door, he walked to the door, talked to Zhou Jiayu, and opened the door again.
With a crisp crunch, the door was opened again. Almost instantly, Zhou Jiayu felt a scorching heat wave rushing towards his face. Zhou Jiayu snorted softly, covered his cheeks with his hands involuntarily, and took a few steps back.
"What's wrong?" However, among the people present, it seemed that only Zhou Jiayu was affected, and the others looked at each other as they looked at the empty door.
"What were you scared of?" Lin Jue reacted very quickly, and immediately looked at the two thieves who were still sitting on the ground in fear.
"I don't know," the woman said. "We don't know what it is either. It's black. It's kind of like a charred person..."
Lin Zhushui frowned, turned around and hugged Zhou Jiayu, and touched his cheek with his hand: "Jiayu?"
Zhou Jiayu was speechless, he felt extremely uncomfortable, and felt as if his soul had been forcibly pulled out of his body by something, and was forced to float in the air.
And below his soul, there is an endless sea of fire.
The rocks melted by the high temperature turned into black monsters, creeping slowly on the ground, as if to devour everything.
When the volcano erupted, the magma flowed out was black, with a dazzling red tumbling underneath, and black dust erupted from the crater, covering the sky overwhelmingly.
Zhou Jiayu was so hot that he felt that his whole body would be melted by the heat.
He vaguely saw that something was struggling in the magma, which made people feel very unpleasant. When he saw the things in the magma clearly, this unpleasantness reached its peak.
Those were scorched people. They were already dead, but they were still struggling in the magma. Pairs of dark hands stretched out from the hot magma, as if trying to grab something.
This scene is so like a scene in hell, Zhou Jiayu even wanted to vomit, and a child's cry sounded in his ears.
"Zhou Jiayu—" Someone was calling his name.
Zhou Jiayu couldn't move.
"Zhou Jiayu—" The voice became louder and louder, and Zhou Jiayu began to feel a pain in his body. The pain was like a bond, pulling his soul back into his body.
"Zhou Jiayu." Someone was kissing his forehead gently, bringing heat to his icy body, Zhou Jiayu's eyes finally focused, he felt himself lying in Lin Zhushui's arms, his face buried in on his chest.
"I saw it." Zhou Jiayu said in a low voice.
Lin Zhushui didn't say anything, he slowly patted Zhou Jiayu's back to soothe his emotions.
"I saw the Meng family." Zhou Jiayu's words were difficult. "After they were covered by magma, they were still able to move. They reached out their hands in the magma and wanted to grab me."
"No one can arrest you." Lin Zhushui softly soothed, "I'm here."
Zhou Jiayu was quiet for a while, and finally broke free from the panic-stricken emotion. At this time, the door was still open, and the breeze poured into Zhou Jiayu's nose with the smell of burnt smell, but this Only he could smell the smell, and everyone else's faces were all worried about him.
"This child is too sensitive." Lin Jue said, "It should be forced to empathize again..."
Xu Jian didn't say a word, his expression was very complicated, but his eyes stayed on Lin Zhushui's hands holding Zhou Jiayu. Obviously, he found something strange - no master would bow down when comforting his apprentice. Kiss the apprentice's cheek.
The wind in the mountains suddenly became stronger, mixed with black dust, making the originally clear sky become cloudy.
"What sound?" Lin Jue frowned suddenly.
This time, these sounds didn't seem to be Zhou Jiayu's illusion. Everyone heard a rustling sound, as if something was slowly dragging and moving on the ground.
"A living person?" Xu Jian also felt something, an incredible look appeared on his face, "How is that possible."
In the darkness outside the door, there are shadows moving.
When everyone saw clearly what was in the shadows, Zhou Jiayu realized that his nightmare just now had actually become a reality. Outside the house stood people with twisted figures. Their bodies had been completely scorched, showing a coke-like shape, but they could still move and were slowly approaching here. I want to surround the whole yard from the outside.
"What is this—" Lin Jue was also shocked, "How can I feel the breath of a living person from them?"
"It's a living person." As soon as Lin Zhushui said these words, he determined the identities of these people. His brows were slightly frowned, as if he was thinking about something.
Those charred humans... No, maintaining such a form, they may no longer be called human beings. They keep approaching the courtyard and will soon reach the door.
Zhou Jiayu suddenly smelled a pungent smell of urine, and when he turned his head, he found that the men among the men and women who were thieves had been scared to pee on their pants.
The three most powerful people on the scene all said that the people outside the house who had been burned to charcoal were alive, but if a person became like this, how could he still be alive
"Close the door first." Lin Jue said, "Don't put these things in."
Standing at the door, Shen Yiqiong quickly closed the door and rushed back into the crowd, his eyes full of horror: "How could a living person look like this?"
This question haunts everyone's mind, but no one can answer it yet.
When the silence spread to everyone, Zhou Jiayu suddenly noticed that bean-sized raindrops began to fall from the sky, but in an instant, the bean-sized raindrops turned into pouring rain and crashed on the ground.
The rain was really heavy, and although everyone reacted quickly, most of their bodies were still wet. They were forced into the old house behind them and watched as the rain screen blocked the world.
The rain came so suddenly. After Zhou Jiayu entered the house, he saw that the black dust on the ground was washed into mud by the rain, but what he did not expect was that the rain did not wash away the dust on the building. down, the dust seems to have turned into speck-shaped things,
Everyone hid in the house and looked in the direction of the door, as if thinking about whether the things outside the door would smash into the door.
Their concerns were obviously not unreasonable, and a moment later, there was a knock on the already flimsy door.
Lin Zhushui suddenly said, "Take out all the things in your bags." He was talking to the two thieves.
Neither of the thieves dared to refute, they put down their backpacks in a daze, and took the items out of the bag one after another.
Zhou Jiayu didn't understand Lin Zhushui's intention at first, until when the man took out something from his bag, he showed an incredible expression: "You guys even steal this thing?" I thought stealing the incense burner was too much. But I didn't expect that this person even put the tablet of the person in the bag and tried to take it away.
"I see that the wood is of good quality..." The man said with a grumpy expression, and glanced at the small piece of paper standing beside Zhou Jiayu with fearful eyes.
Zhou Jiayu picked up the tablet and saw the words Meng Juntian written on it: "Who is this?"
"Isn't Meng Juntian the third son of the Meng family? Why is his tablet here?" Xu Jian was a little surprised. He took the tablet in his hand and looked at it carefully. "A person who has been expelled from the Meng family can still enter the ancestral hall?"
Zhou Jiayu didn't seem to know the existence of Meng Juntian's son Meng Yangtian when he saw Xu Jian's reaction.
"Throw the tablet out." Lin Zhushui spoke again.
Hearing his words, Zhou Jiayu stepped forward with the tablet in the rain and walked to the wall in the rain, then with a strong hand, he threw the tablet directly from the wall.
After the tablet was thrown out, it didn't take long for the knocking on the door to stop, and the black charred corpses outside the door seemed to have left.
Everyone let out a breath. Zhou Jiayu wanted to ask Xiao Zhi to beat the thief again. Even if he stole an incense burner, he didn't even let other people's tablets go. No wonder he was so embarrassed.
However, although the scorched corpse didn't bother them any more, the rain in the sky was getting heavier and heavier, and it was even pouring.
Lin Jue murmured that she had brought Xiao Jin over, and made him smile. The weather would probably be fine.
Zhou Jiayu wondered if you were a scumbag, uncle. You didn't say that when you disliked Xiao Jin a few days ago...
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and after a while, it would turn into a drenched chicken. After half an hour, Xu Jian saw that the rain was not about to stop, and there was a look of sadness on his face.
"The rain is not right." Xu Jian said, "It's spring now, and it's really not normal to have such a heavy rain."
Zhou Jiayu saw his expression, and then he remembered what Xu Jian had said before that he couldn't come here in summer, because it was full of mountains, and there was no vegetation attached to it, and the terrain was quite steep. It is very easy to form mudslides. And looking at the traces on the hillside, it seems that mudslides have become commonplace, but the Mengshi site is lucky, and it has been avoided time and time again.
Lin Jue's body was also wet, and now he was sitting beside him with a cigarette in his mouth, smoking slowly. Xu Ruizang also ran over and rubbed it, so the two people with the longest hair in the room were puffing up.
"What should we do?" Zhou Jiayu said, "Are we going to leave in the heavy rain?"
Xu Jian looked at his watch and said that in half an hour, if the rain didn't stop, they would have to leave here even under heavy rain. Otherwise, if a mudslide really broke out, I'm afraid no one would be able to escape. After all, in the face of the power of nature, human beings are extraordinarily insignificant.
Zhou Jiayu was drenched in drenching because he went out to throw the tablet. He was actually fine, he just needed to change his clothes, but Xu Jinxuan's long hair that didn't take much care was draped over his shoulders like straw. His totally unfeminine face looked like a pervert.
The rain was falling, and the visibility was only a few meters. Zhou Jiayu felt that it was very difficult to open his eyes when he went out just now. If they want to leave later, I am afraid it will not be easy.
But what they were most worried about still happened. The rain had been raining for more than half an hour, but it still didn't mean to stop, and it even got bigger and bigger.
"There's no other way, let's go." Xu Jian said, "I can't wait any longer."
Although climbing a mountain in such weather is a very bad thing, it is also better than waiting to die here.
After they went out, they found that the black scorched corpses that had been surrounding them before had disappeared, and the ground was washed very cleanly by the rain, and no trace of soil could be seen.
Zhou Jiayu suddenly felt very strange. If it rains heavily here every year, it stands to reason that the black dust should have been washed away long ago, but why can they still be seen on the ground when they come? Doesn't that prove that Does this kind of dust continue to fall on the ground after it rains
The rain was too heavy and the visibility was terrifyingly low. Everyone had to observe the surrounding situation while walking, and it was very difficult to move. The worst thing is that the rain is so heavy, the spare rain gear is not effective at all. Zhou Jiayu's shoes are filled with rainwater in a short time, walking on the ground as if stepping in the water.
Fortunately, Xu Jian was familiar with this place, and quickly found his way out. Zhou Jiayu looked at the muddy mountain road and could only grit his teeth and climb up.
"Come on." Lin Zhushui, who had been cut off, suddenly urged.
Zhou Jiayu shouted: "Sir, let everyone climb faster—"
When everyone heard the words, they gritted their teeth and increased their strength.
A group of people braved the heavy rain to climb the mountain. When they climbed to the middle of the mountain, they suddenly heard a loud noise. Zhou Jiayu saw through the blurry rain curtain that there was a black torrent on the opposite steep hillside with a destructive potential, rushing down from the top of the mountain, covering all the ruins of the Meng Family.
Everyone witnessed all this on the mountainside, and they watched the small village that originally existed, covered by the mud, and the mud was mixed with trees and boulders. It is conceivable that if they walked a little slower and were caught up by this torrent, it should be what happened.
Zhou Jiayu witnessed such a situation for the first time, and was shocked for a while.
In the face of nature, human beings are like ants, unable to resist the great changes in the world. The mudslide followed the terrain, covering the Mengshi site, and then headed for a lower place.
Everyone stood in the rain without speaking, and the atmosphere seemed to be stagnant.
"Let's go." After an unknown amount of time, Lin Zhushui broke the silence.
Then everyone stepped forward and continued to move forward.
Not long after the mudslide appeared, the rain in the sky gradually decreased, and when the sky cleared, the rising sun slowly emerged from below the horizon.
"The rain has stopped." Zhou Jiayu shook off the water droplets on his body.
"Yeah." Lin Zhushui replied softly.
After a night of climbing, they have reached the top of the mountain. At this time, they are looking down at the col, and their mood is very complicated.
The Meng family ruins that had just left had completely disappeared in front of everyone at this time, leaving only the remains of a building. The Fengshui clan who was all-powerful back then did not even leave the last trace.
"It has completely disappeared." Xu Jian's tone also contained a hint of sigh.
"Where are the black charred corpses buried inside?" Lin Jue didn't seem to think that this was the end, her expression was a bit complicated: "Don't you think this rain is too strange? It's just like Yes… "
It was as if he was driving them away. In fact, Zhou Jiayu had the same idea, but he thought it was impossible to think rationally. Who can be powerful enough to manipulate the will of God
"Let's go, go and tidy up first." Zhou Jiayu said, "Don't catch a cold."
Everyone was soaking wet, it wasn't summer, the temperature was still a little low, and he was starting to feel a little cold.
But the very bad thing was that the rain was so heavy that most of the contents of the bag were soaked, including the change of clothes.
Shen Yiqiang was even worse. He forgot to wrap the phone in a plastic bag, and when he took it out of his pocket, he just dumped a lot of water, and naturally he couldn't turn it on.
"I'll contact someone to pick us up." Xu Jian said, "It's too slow going down the mountain like this."
The two thieves had been following them quietly, and they were going to run away now, but Zhou Jiayu didn't speak to you, and Xiao Zhi started rolling up his sleeves again, which made them stop quickly.
"Master, Master." The man was about to cry, "We are really just picking up some junk from each other."
"The tablet is also considered tattered?" Zhou Jiayu asked.
The man had nothing to say, and in the end he could only say: "Didn't I change it back..."
Zhou Jiayu said, "You still want to leave if you don't return it? Let's go to the bureau for two days and then talk about it."
The two were dejected, but looked at the paper and did not dare to refute.
Xiao Zhi snorted and was about to spit. Zhou Jiayu hurriedly taught him not to do this. This is not a good child's habit.
Xiao Zhi showed an aggrieved expression and glanced at Shen Yiqiong.
Shen Yiqian looked at his eyes and eyes, pretended to see nothing, and continued to study the mobile phone that was in the water.
Zhou Jiayu was really angry and funny when he saw it, he reached out and put his hand on Shen Yiqiong's head: "Look at what you taught!"
Shen Yiqiong said, "I'm not, I don't..."
Zhou Jiayu said, "Are you saying that again?"
Shen Yiqiong finally accepted his fate, and said with a sad face that he had only done it once or twice, but Xiao Zhi would have learned it.
In the end, Zhou Jiayu threatened him that if he taught Xiao Zhi the habit of messing up again, he would eat noodles for the rest of his life and live by himself, Shen Yiqiong said obediently.
When leaving the Mengshi site, Zhou Jiayu glanced behind him again, and he saw the towering peaks and the cols that had turned into flat ground. There was a miraculous hunch in my heart that they would come back here.
The author has something to say: Zhou Jiayu was worried all day about whether Shen Yiqiong had infected Xiaozhi with bad habits, until one day, after seeing Xiaozhi, he immediately roared at Shen Yiqiong: Shen Yiqiong—you to Xiaozhi What have you done-
Shen Yiqiong: Wow, I really didn't infect Xiao Zhi with the black, but it jumped into the ink by itself! !
