Wang Yang rushed into the valley regardless of everything, and we couldn't just leave him alone. Qu Mo looked back at me first, then followed him. I pulled Shen Bing and shouted to Wang Zijun, "Hurry up, don't lose him."
"I'm fine, don't worry." Wang Zijun had just finished speaking when he tripped over a stone and fell flat on his face.
I shook my head helplessly and ran over without stopping. Shen Bing and I were much faster than Wang Yang, and we caught up with her and Qu Mo in just a few steps.
Before the sun sets, we have seen the whole valley from a hilltop. It is surrounded by mountains on all sides, except for the entrance where we came in, which is only a few feet wide and looks like an iron barrel. The valley is very vast, especially with a dense forest that occupies 60% of the valley.
If Chen Ming hadn't called out, it would have been difficult for us to find anyone inside, not to mention at night, even during the day. We bought five or six flashlights from the street stalls when we came here, and now they are all turned on, shining on the mountain covered with sharp rocks, with a cold light, which looks very uncomfortable.
The woods were not far away, about fifty meters from the valley entrance. Wang Yang pointed in the direction of the woods and said anxiously, "Chen Ming seems to be in the woods."
After Chen Ming shouted, there was no more sound. The forest seemed unusually quiet at this moment, and the depths were even darker and more distant, revealing an eerie chill!
Shen Bing had also come out of her grief at this moment. She looked at me and said, "Let's go over there quickly."
I hummed and said, "Everyone, cheer up and don't leave me."
Wang Zijun came over at this time and said breathlessly: "You ran so fast, it would be strange if I didn't leave you."
Qu Mo turned around and glared at him: "Can't you run faster?"
"Yes!" The boy saluted with a serious face, which made Qu Mo and Shen Bing laugh at the same time.
Seeing Shen Bing smile, I felt a lot more relieved. As long as she is happy, I am willing to do anything for her!
I waved to them and ran forward, not too fast because I had to take care of Wang Yang and Wang Zijun. If I ran too fast, they would not be able to keep up. We soon stopped outside the forest. It was always silent inside, almost too quiet. At this moment, we could only hear our heartbeats and slight breathing.
Five flashlights shone into the forest, interlacing with each other. In the dense darkness, they looked like several flashing ghosts, which was particularly strange and almost made our hearts unable to bear the burden. White and yellow pines flashed under the lights, and everywhere was empty, which made us feel uneasy.
I waved my hand and walked into the forest cautiously step by step. My shoes made a clattering sound on the ground. I always felt that the sound came from behind us, as if there was someone, no, a ghost following us, and I couldn't help but look back from time to time.
It was understandable that they were nervous and afraid, because Chen Ming's scream just now must have been caused by an abnormal situation, most likely a ghost. But I was a little nervous, because I was a ghost story inheritor, I died once, and I went to the underworld twice! What's so scary about ghosts? In the underworld, they are no different from humans, except that their faces are white, their eyes glow green, etc. I don't think they are that scary.
But at this moment, my heart was in my throat and was beating violently. I was really afraid that a ghost would suddenly jump out. After thinking about it, I understood why I was afraid. Because I am a human now, and my mentality is completely different from when I was a ghost. The reason why people are afraid of ghosts is that they have never seen their true appearance, and they are just scaring themselves in their hearts. In fact, it is not that scary to actually see a ghost.
