But as the old saying goes, it's easier to go up a mountain than it is to go down.
There are not many people walking this trail, so it is not very smooth.
When running fast, the tree branches sticking out from both sides would occasionally scratch their clothes or scratch the skin of their cheeks.
But the three frightened children had no intention of worrying about this and did not dare to stop at all.
The surroundings were so quiet that only the three of them could be heard gasping for air.
Zhang Chunliang tripped over the vines under his feet and fell out with an ouch. Fortunately, Huzi grabbed him in front of him, otherwise he might have rolled down the mountain.
It was normal for the three of them to fight, but when Wu Liang saw his brother fall, he immediately stepped forward to help him. As soon as he pulled Zhang Chunliang up, his hand froze in mid-air unconsciously.
His voice was shaking and he said intermittently, "Huzi...you...listen, is there another cry?"
Zhang Chunliang also became scared at this moment, feeling something strange inside.
"No, that woman was walking towards the suspension bridge just now. We ran all the way down. How come the crying was ahead of us? Is this person able to fly?"
There was also caution and fear in the voice.
As soon as they heard the cry, and within less than a breath, the woman's figure suddenly appeared in front of the three of them, as if she had never met them before, and she kept asking them repeatedly with a cry in her mouth, "You guys Have you seen my child? Help me!"
The hair on the three young men's bodies was now standing on end, and their legs were constantly trembling. Huzi had seen the blood of many wild beasts on his hands over the years, and he was the most courageous. He knew that the person in front of him could not be a human being, and the person who came was not good, so he shouted loudly. , rushed forward with a hatchet in hand.
The one who cheered him up yelled and threatened, "If I tell you to always follow us to scare people, I will chop you to death today! Ah!"
The three young men are definitely not plastic brothers. They have a strong bond. Seeing Huzi rushing forward, Wu Liang's first reaction was to pick up the bow and arrow on his body and use it as a stick to turn around. Zhang Chunliang was one step behind and had no dick in his hand. He picked up a stone and rushed over.
Huzi raised the knife and lowered it, clenching his back molars. He still had to fight hard. Unfortunately, the blow missed, and the big man in front of him disappeared. The hatchet directly cut a pit in the ground, and the sand and soil flew. He used too much force. Huzi almost fell out.
Wu Lianglun's bow and arrow failed to draw back enough and almost hit Huzi on the back of the head. Fortunately, at the critical moment, he stumbled and narrowly avoided the fatal attack from his teammate Zhu.
After steadying themselves, they had time to look back at Zhang Chunliang's situation. They both shouted at the same time, "Liangzi, what is that in your hand?"
Zhang Chunliang was stunned for a moment, then brought the big stone in front of his eyes. The next second he screamed and threw it away. It was a white, dry skull with a few hairs on the top.
Judging from the size, it belongs to a very young child.
The three people were almost frightened out of their wits by these one after another events. They did not dare to stay on the mountain for a moment. They just hurriedly ran towards the village down the mountain in a panic.
Even if he falls down, he still gets up and keeps running.
When they saw the shadows of the houses in the village, they didn't know what time it was. All they knew was that they had no strength at all now, and every part of their body ached.
The only family in the village with lights on was the Su family, who was worried about the safety of several people and did not fall asleep.
After entering the yard, seeing the lights and the worried Aunt Su, the three young men sat down on the ground and felt that they were truly alive.
When Mrs. Su Chen saw the three children covered in mud, scars and tattered clothes, she quickly helped them into Su Youting's house and told them to take a breath.
They obviously didn't find anyone during this trip, and they seemed to have encountered something else.
The old lady was so kind that she cooked hot noodles and cut a plate of beef offal that Ling Yun had braised that night to warm them up.
The three children held the bowls and ate slurpingly. When they put down the bowls, they remembered that there was a piece of white paper that sister-in-law Ling Yun had stuffed into their hands. It seemed that it had been burned. Then they opened their palms and looked at them. There is nothing left in it.
There was only a piece of red flesh, and a strange pattern could be seen faintly in the palm.
Mrs. Su Chen saw that the three children looked much better now, and then she asked what happened when they went up the mountain.
The three people recounted their experiences tonight, and Wu Liang said, "Auntie, you are right. Fortunately, we remembered sister-in-law Ling Yun's words and did not separate and did not dare to turn back. Otherwise, we would not know whether we would be able to come back today. Come on, aunt, what do you think we encountered?"
Mrs. Su Chen did not respond to their questions, but looked worriedly in the direction of Anyuan Mountain, secretly praying that her two children could return safely.
Speaking of which, Su Youting and his wife, who entered the mountain a little later than three teenagers, were about to enter the Zhong Peak. Ling Yun warned Su Youting, "There are rules when entering the mountain. Don't call people by their full names. Don't look back if someone calls you from behind. Don’t agree.”
Su Youting, who has been hunting in the mountains for a long time, has also heard others mention such rules, and he casually hummed without paying much attention.
It only means that he heard it, but whether he will follow it is another matter.
Su Youting held a lantern in his hand and turned around to illuminate it for Ling Yun. Ling Yun held the white rubbing paper in his hand and a brush in his right hand. He measured the length on the paper with the pen holder and calculated the approximate number of miles in his mind before telling him. Direction of Su Youting.
As for how to go or how far she would go, she really had no idea. This was her first time using this method, so the young couple could only work together.
Su Youting is very sensitive to distance, and his footsteps are almost like a ruler. As long as Ling Yun reports the approximate number, he can accurately find the specific point.
At the beginning, Su Youting was still a little doubtful and could not completely believe in the accuracy of such a mysterious and mysterious method. When he followed Ling Yun's words and actually stood at the mountain pass where he and Uncle Lin usually used to enter the middle peak, he finally became 100% convinced. Bai Di was convinced that Ling Yun was really capable.
I also understand the truth that there are people outside, and there is an old god with a white beard outside.
Naturally, he cooperated obediently throughout the whole process, letting Ling Yun pull the edge of his clothes from behind, dragging the little dwarf through the mountains and forests like a guide dog.
He is also careful to avoid various risks that may pose threats. When there are big rocks on the rugged mountain road, he will slow down to remind Ling Yun to be careful where he steps!
After entering the mountain, Ling Yun found that there seemed to be mist around him.
In the eyes of others, this may be just ordinary mist, but Ling Yun, a real goddess, immediately realized that these were the accumulated Yin Qi, but she didn't understand why this mountain forest had such heavy Yin Qi even though it was sparsely populated.
While their minds were wandering, the two of them also heard the laughter of children in the forest and the rustling sounds in the grass.
However, the two of them were calmer than the three teenagers, and they didn't question it. They just pretended not to hear and continued on their way into the mountains and forests.
