I almost fainted. It seemed that I was about to carry her on my back. We rested for a while, then reached the foot of the mountain, crossed a stream, and started to climb up again. Once we climbed up the hill, we entered the forest area. The forest was lush and covered the sky. We were dizzy. If it weren't for Chen Ming leading the way, we really didn't know where we would get lost.
It was easy to climb the mountain, but it was tiring. When we reached the top of the mountain, the two girls fell on the grass and couldn't get up. Chen Ming and I stood on a high place and looked ahead. Chen Ming looked a little unhappy. I thought to myself, could he have taken the wrong path? It's not impossible. This kid probably hasn't been to Bamboo Worm Valley. It's normal to get lost in the deep mountains and forests where you can't see the sun.
As expected, Chen Ming said to me very embarrassedly: "We went in the wrong direction. We have to go back."
Shen Bing rolled her eyes, looking almost angry to death. Qu Mo didn't say anything, but he frowned, feeling very unhappy. They were not iron men, and after all this trouble, it would be good if they could reach their destination before dark, let alone return. It was already one o'clock in the afternoon, and it was a foregone conclusion that they would stay in Bamboo Worm Valley tonight.
There was no point in me getting anxious. I comforted Chen Ming, unpacked my backpack, and took out the food that Shen Bing had bought. Wow, they even bought chili sauce and steamed buns. After we ate, we didn't dare to rest for too long. We got up and went back the same way, starting downhill. Oh my god, my legs are in trouble again!
This time Chen Ming took out a compass, which saved me the trouble of taking out a compass to determine the direction. We reached a fork in the road halfway up the hill, and continued to climb forward along the southwest. After climbing for about a few dozen meters, we saw a backpack hanging on a tree. It was quite new and looked like it was left there by a tourist recently.
I thought to myself that this was a restricted area, and there were some adventure-seeking hikers coming here, but why did they leave a backpack behind? Just as I was thinking about this, Shen Bing muttered, "Whose backpack is this?" and reached out to pick it up.
I quickly grabbed it and held her hand, saying to her, "Don't touch this thing yet. What if it's poisonous?"
Shen Bing's face changed. She knew I was right, but she still said stubbornly, "Everything is problematic in your eyes. You are too narrow-minded." She said this, but she didn't dare to reach out her hand again.
We decided to leave. No matter who left the backpack, it has nothing to do with us. We don't covet other people's things. We should hurry on our way. Shen Bing was curious, but she didn't object. We were about to leave when we heard a baby crying in the backpack. Damn, who is so cruel to abandon the child here
Women are born with maternal instincts. Shen Bing and Qu Mo reached out to take off their backpacks at the same time. Shen Bing unzipped the backpack. The moment we unzipped it, our faces changed. What was inside was not a baby, but a bloody human head!
Chen Ming screamed "Ah" and took a step back in fear. Even Qu Mo frowned, with fear flashing in his eyes. Shen Bing was used to dealing with corpses and had seen many cases of dismemberment. He was not scared by the sight of a head, but opened the bag completely.
"It's a woman's head. The blood has already solidified. The time of death should be more than twenty-four hours." Shen Bing explained to us while lifting the long hair on the head up, revealing the facial features.
As soon as we saw this face, except Chen Ming, the three of us were all shocked. Shen Bing screamed "Ah", let go of her hand, and hurriedly crawled back a long distance away, with a look of fear on her face!
