The row of footprints pointed the direction very clearly to Jiang Shan. Jiang Shan also picked up a thick branch from the ground and used it as a crutch for himself.
The lush grass on the ground was trampled to pieces. It was obviously done by Xiao Chen's group of unethical people.
Jiang Shan’s life creed has always been to respect the rules and cherish life. Translated: If you don’t seek death, you won’t die.
Jiang Shan is destined to be incomprehensible to these people who are born healthy and have no pain and could live a long life, but they insist on committing suicide.
…
Jiang Shan took out his mobile phone and looked at the signal bar every time he walked, hoping for a miracle.
The moon rose into the sky, but no miracle occurred.
Jiang Shan got goosebumps as he walked up the mountain. The whole mountain was so quiet!
Is there not even a single bird or insect in such a huge mountain?
It was as if Jiang Shan himself was the only living thing walking in this mountain.
Jiang Shan took a deep breath, recited a few children's songs silently, and continued walking... Suddenly she seemed to have stepped on something hard.
Jiang Shan slowly moved away and shined a flashlight to see clearly the items on the ground.
It's a camera.
The angle of the camera is very strange, the lens is pointing diagonally upward, as if it is still taking a picture.
Jiang Shan looked familiar to this camera. Her eyes moved and she figured out that it belonged to a young student couple among the passengers.
Jiang Shan was deeply impressed by the young couple's chattering and their presence. She still remembers that the young couple proudly took out this camera and showed off that it was bought at a high price from an auction house. The camera used special film and was said to be the first old-fashioned camera in the world.
Still remember the way they looked at the camera baby. How could it be randomly abandoned here at this moment?
Jiang Shan reached out and picked up the camera, dusted it off, and stuffed it into his backpack.
However, one after another, Jiang Shan unexpectedly saw some more "items", such as parasols, sunglasses, wallets... they all belonged to that person in the brigade. All their things were discarded on the ground, which made people's hearts tremble.
There are still people's clothes.
Suddenly Jiang Shan stopped abruptly.
She rubbed her eyes carefully and found that the footprints in front of her were gone.
And it all disappeared at once, as if out of thin air, the footprints of so many people that were messy and mixed together were suddenly all broken off, as if so many people disappeared or evaporated from the ground in an instant.
Jiang Shan was confused, completely confused this time.
Like a headless fly that has lost its direction, falling into huge confusion and confusion.
In the end what happened? Can items be discarded and human footprints disappear?
Jiang Shan seemed to hear her own heartbeat and breathing getting louder and louder, shaking her eardrums greatly.
what to do? Jiang Shan seemed to be asking himself.
The gradually enveloping darkness was obviously swallowing up the last hope. Jiang Shan couldn't help but look back and glanced at the hotel that was far away behind him.
Where to go?
At this moment, Jiang Shan actually saw a tent under the moonlight.
Jiang Shan's eyes lit up. She, a patient, rushed to the tent in a few steps with some excitement, subconsciously thinking that it was left by those from the tour group.
However, the moment he approached the tent, Jiang Shan's expression froze on his face, and his joyful mood fell to the bottom at that moment.
The outside of the tent was covered with dense spider webs, and there were holes in several places. It looked old as if it had been abandoned here for many years.
Another disappointment that poured cold water on his head. Jiang Shan stared blankly at the tent for a long time, with the tent's curtain half drooped.
…
Jiang Shan opened the tent curtain. He bent down and walked in.
For a moment, an unpleasant smell of decay entered Jiang Shan's nostrils. No matter what, she wanted to find a place to rest tonight, and this tent seemed to be the only choice.
After seeing the furnishings in the tent, Jiang Shan was a little shocked. All the items were placed in order, and there were even half-covered quilts on the ground.
The arrangement in this tent...is as if the owner has just left.
Jiang Shan frowned. She couldn't figure out everything that happened on this mountain.
She took off her backpack and threw it on the ground. The flying dust made her cough several times.
After that, she counted all the supplies. When she came, she brought all the water and food in the hotel room. If she couldn't find the tour group, the remaining items would only be enough for her for three days at most.
Jiang Shan couldn't help but pick up the old camera again. This camera only had two buttons and was easy to operate.
Jiang Shan pressed the red one and turned it on.
The first photo is a sweet photo of the young couple, with a bright background and intimate movements. Heartless and ignorant of sorrow.
Jiang Shan pressed another button and the photos turned pages.
It can be seen that this young couple likes to take pictures very much. Even if they are holding a flower, they will change into more than a dozen different poses and take countless photos. The entire journey is recorded on this camera in every detail.
Suddenly a photo popped up without warning, and Jiang Shan stopped turning the page.
A strange face appeared on the photo. It would be wrong to say it was strange because the photo showed the face of the tour guide, Xiao Chen.
In the photo, Xiao Chen seems to have turned back unintentionally and looked at the couple.
There is still a smile on the face in the first picture, and then flipping to the second picture, it is still the same posture, but the smile on the face seems a bit stiff.
Jiang Shan turned to the third photo, and Xiao Chen's face appeared in a close-up.
At this time, there was no smile on his face, it was all dull. He looks directly into the camera.
It was as if he saw something.
Jiang Shan slowly turned to the fourth picture, which still showed Xiao Chen's face. At this time, the expression on his face turned a bit ferocious, slightly distorted.
Jiang Shan's finger stopped on the page turning button and didn't press it down for a long time.
There is something strange and strange about this photo. Why does the slick and sophisticated tour guide have such an expression?
On purpose?
Jiang Shan pressed the page turn button again. In this picture, Xiao Chen's face was almost in a close-up, because the focus seemed to be getting closer.
In this picture, Xiao Chen also raised a hand, seemingly pointing forward.
The frightened expression on his face became clearer and clearer, and for a while, he showed some kind of extremely horrified distortion.
Jiang Shan stared at Xiao Chen's expression in the photo for a long time without moving, because the expression on Xiao Chen's face was so real that fear seemed to overflow from the photo and even infect Jiang Shan.
If Xiao Chen made this expression on purpose, then he could really be comparable to the best actor.
At this time, the camera showed that there were still the last three photos.
Jiang Shan adjusted his breathing slightly and slowly pressed the page turn button again...
In the next photo, Xiao Chen actually maintained almost the same posture as the previous one, with his hand stiffly pointing forward. Only this time, his fingers were almost pointed at the camera, and his eyes were straight. From Jiang Shan's perspective , as if Xiao Chen was looking at her through the photo.
