The Tale Never Ends

Chapter 216: Changbai Mountain

Views:

It's getting dark, and I don't know the direction or the time at all, and I don't have the habit of wearing a watch. At this time, I suddenly felt disconnected from society, and then I realized that it was not just me, but everyone was the same. It seems like you have completely lost contact with the whole world without your mobile phone.

The cold wind in the mountains made me shiver. For some reason, it was surprisingly cold here. Although the red pine forest is evergreen all year round, the snow under my feet told me that it had just snowed here not long ago. In addition, the mountain wind kept blowing at night, and the thick down jacket had been blown through.

Helpless, I had to find a fairly flat place and some dead branches to make a bonfire. But even the bonfire was not that easy to light this time. There was no tinder to ignite the fire, and the flame of the lighter could not even be expected to burn the branches. This is a red pine forest again, so expecting to use the leaves as tinder to start a fire is nonsense! In desperation, I could only take off the hat on my down jacket and light a fire.

After finally lighting the campfire, eating has become my biggest problem now. Although I had experienced camping in the wild with Lin Feng and others before, at that time there were more people and more strength, and the campfire was not as small as it is now. At that time, it was possible to attract a few pheasants and pheasants by relying on the campfire, but now it is hard to say. After thinking about it, waiting for something to happen was not an option, so he took out the gourd and released the wolf spirits, letting the wolf spirits try to see if they could catch anything.

Sure enough, as soon as the wolf spirit came out of the gourd, it immediately surrounded me in a direction not far from me. I quickly got up and followed him. After walking about 200 meters, I saw a shadow flashing past not far away! The wolf spirit was not in a hurry, but continued to sneak. I followed behind the wolf spirit with my waist down, not daring to slack off. The wolf spirit's outflanking skills were top-notch, and within a moment, it had already invisibly trapped the shadow into a blind spot!

However, just when I was about to use the spirit gourd chanting formula, I was stunned for a moment, and then stopped. Because I saw clearly the surrounded animal, it turned out to be a fox. I waved my hand helplessly, and the wolf spirits sauntered back angrily after receiving my signal, no longer paying attention to the foxes in the circle.

The fox was so frightened that he didn't dare to move. After all, a fox compared with six wolves is really not good enough. But the fox who escaped from the trap did not rush to escape. Instead, he looked at me with bright eyes, as if he had seen someone special. My head was filled with black threads, and I thought it was really unexpected that an uncivilized fox could recognize me as a young master.

I sighed and said to the fox with some helplessness: "Why don't you leave quickly? Why don't you wait for me to be my dinner?" I waved my hand to signal the fox to leave quickly so that I wouldn't be upset. The fox understood what I said and turned around and ran away without hesitation. I signaled the wolf spirits to look for prey again, but this time to no avail. Even the wolf spirits couldn't find anything edible. After thinking about it, winter had just passed. It was strange that there could be any animals in the deep mountains and old forests that could be roasted and eaten.

When I returned to the fire, it was still burning. I thought the fire would be almost extinguished after I had been away for so long. However, the next second I discovered that there was a person sitting by the fire, filling it with firewood! I suddenly shivered in fear, and the wolf spirits all roared and furred under my influence! I squinted my eyes and looked carefully at the bonfire not far away. Sitting beside the fire was a woman, very young and not very old. Wearing a white hiking down jacket with a hiking bag beside him, he looked like a tourist on his own! At this time, the woman was adding firewood to the fire and poking the fire with a stick from time to time.

Only then did I let down my guard and slowly walked towards the fire. The woman quickly raised her head when she heard the footsteps, and saw me at a glance. She was so frightened that she let out an "ouch" and sat by the bonfire, not daring to move. I looked down and realized that the wolf spirits were staring at the woman with their green-lighting wolf eyes, as if they had discovered prey! I quickly waved my hand to stop the wolf spirit, signaling that I would not do such stupid things as cannibalism. The wolf spirit then tucked its tail between its legs and lay down beside the bonfire.

The woman almost collapsed when she saw this scene. She shouted to no avail and didn't dare to run. She could only watch me shivering as I walked to the campfire step by step and sat down.

After I sat down, I was unbearably hungry, so the foreman asked the woman, "Is there anything to eat?" In front of me. I was very happy to see all kinds of snacks such as buckets of potato chips, chocolates, etc. I say to those who climb mountains and cross forests, just eat this, it will be strange if you don’t die! He shook his head and smiled, and picked out a pack of compressed biscuits and a piece of ham from the pair of snacks. He tore open the package and took a bite of the compressed biscuit, then asked vaguely: "Where is this?"

The woman was stunned by my question, and then her eyes flickered for a long time, and then she tentatively replied: "We are called China, and it is the beginning of 2019..." Her answer also stunned me. , I thought to myself, what a mess, of course I know this is China, and of course I know this is 2019! That's totally wrong!

It took me a second thought to figure it out, damn! This woman imagined that I had traveled through time!

I glared at her angrily, and then said: "You are overthinking, I asked where this place is. I am not from time travel!" A trace of disappointment flashed in the woman's eyes, and then she said: " This is Changbai Mountain."

"What!" I jumped up and down, thinking about Changbai Mountain! ? Why did I come here! ? Then I quickly asked the woman, "What's the date today?" The woman said without thinking, "Today is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival." My heart suddenly tightened, Lantern Festival? So it’s been two days since Mr. Liu transported me back to ancient times!

While I was chewing the compressed biscuits, I felt secretly unhappy. I thought to myself, what kind of magical power did Mr. Liu use to bring me here?

The woman noticed my annoyance, but after looking at the six huge wolves lying next to me, she still didn't dare to speak. Just like that, neither of us spoke, and the sound of me chewing biscuits echoed in the forest. After eating and drinking, I sat blankly by the campfire. We often say that a cigarette after a meal is better than a living god, so at this time my addiction to cigarettes broke out. I looked up at the woman, and she was looking in my direction with her head lowered. I asked tentatively: "Did you... bring a cigarette?" When the woman saw my question, she quickly looked away and then shook her head. I drooped my head with some disappointment. I was bored and ruffled the wolf spirit's fur while saying, "My name is Shi Yan, Murong Shi Yan."

When the woman saw me announcing my home address, she quickly said, "My name is Qin Le." I smiled and asked, "Why, are you lost?" Qin Le nodded and wanted to say something, but was distracted by me. The six wolf spirits around him were scared away.

I smiled helplessly, took out the gourd and collected the wolf spirit, and then looked at her. Qin Le was so shocked by the scene in front of him that his jaw almost dropped. He probably didn't understand how the six wolves disappeared out of thin air. After a long while, she asked tremblingly: "Those six wolves..." I interrupted her directly and said: "I raised them. They are not live wolves, but wolf souls." Qin Le's eyes lit up and he asked : "You must not be a human being, right?" I was stunned by these words and subconsciously replied: "Why are you swearing?" Then I realized that she didn't seem to mean that, so I hurriedly said: "Uh, it's not you. That’s what I think. I’m a real person, I just know some magic.”

Qin Le's eyes flashed and he screamed, and then his words started to pour towards me like a flood. The batch leader asked: "You must be here to rob the tomb, right!?" I glared at her and said: " Have you read too much "Tomb Robbers Notes"?" When I denied it, Qin Le asked again: "Then you must be an urban superpower, right?" Then before I could answer, he added: "Otherwise you are a hidden person. A world-class master, right?"

I shook my head repeatedly, and finally just said: "I don't know how I came to Changbai Mountain." Qin Le didn't give up, chasing me and asking questions. I said angrily: "Did you read too many novels, and when your head got hot, you signed up for a tour group and ran away? After you ran away, you found that your ideals were completely different from reality, and now you are trapped in the woods and can't get out?"

Qin Le was stunned by my question and said blankly: "How do you know?"
