Chapter 129 The Arrival of the Bride
The silent woods, the winding path, the light of the flashlight looming, the surroundings are very quiet.
Xia Qing looked at the seemingly endless path, his brows deep, darkness enveloped everyone, no one spoke, everyone walked forward in silence, walking in this environment, everyone's heart They were all under tremendous mental pressure...
Wang Yun followed Xia Qing closely, looking at the twisted and ferocious woods around her, like an evil ghost that chose people to eat.
Wang Yun swallowed, her back was wet with cold sweat, and her body was shaking. She was nervous and scared, but she didn't dare to stop. She knew she couldn't become a burden to them now. , once she becomes a burden, they will abandon her without hesitation, and may even kill her. She is not stupid, she can see what kind of people these people are.
The surroundings were too quiet, with no chirping of insects or birds at all. In the countryside, the chirping of birds and the chirping of insects should coexist at this time, but here none of these scenes should occur.
Wang Yun didn’t know how long they had been walking. Time seemed to pass very long. Her feet stepped on the dead branches and leaves, but there was no sound. This was very strange, as if the world had lost its voice. Same.
Everything will return to silence. Sometimes, it is not the scary sounds that bring fear and despair to people, but when you are walking in a world shrouded in darkness, and there is silence around you, without any sound. , there is no one except you...
"Xia, Sister Xia Qing, how long will it take for us to arrive?"
Wang Yun's trembling voice sounded among everyone. Xia Qing frowned and looked ahead. The road has no end, and I have no idea:
"I don't know. The situation is very wrong now. The surroundings are too quiet. It seems like there are no other living things except us. Moreover, we walked for so long and didn't even see the peach forest that the old man mentioned."
Xia Qing said this and looked at Lao Li with the help of the flashlight:
"Old Li, something seems wrong."
< br>Hearing Xia Qing's words, Lao Li's face became serious. He glanced around, a flash of worry in his eyes, and looked at his watch. It was 10.30, which was almost three hours since they entered the mountain:
"The situation is indeed a bit strange. We entered the mountain after eight o'clock, and now it is already half past ten, and we have been walking for almost three hours."
"Logically, we should have arrived long ago after walking for so long, but we haven't even seen the peach forest until now."
Speaking of this, Lao Li's eyes showed worry. The color is heavier.
After hearing what Lao Li said, everyone's faces changed more or less.
Xia Qing looked at the deep darkness and the unchanging scenery around him, bit the corner of his mouth, and asked tentatively:
"Are we being beaten up by ghosts? Otherwise, what happened? Why haven’t you arrived after walking for so long?”
After Xia Qing said this, the bespectacled man pushed up his glasses and looked a little solemn. He glanced around and found that the twisted woods nearby seemed familiar, as if they were really what Xia Qing said. They might have hit the wall. :
"It's possible, it's not low. We seem to have walked through the surrounding woods, more than once."
The man with glasses took a flashlight and looked at the side. The tree continued to speak: < br>
“I saw this tree last time. Judging from its twisted direction, it was exactly the same as what I saw before. At first, I just thought these were normal situations. In this weird place, there were two trees. It’s normal for the trees to look similar.”
“I didn’t think about ghosts beating the wall. Now that Xia Qing said it, these trees are very abnormal, so we are very worried now. It may have been blocked by ghosts!”
Lao Li looked in the direction of the bespectacled man's flashlight and found that it was exactly what he said. The twisted tree was very familiar and he seemed to have seen it before.
Xia Qing looked around with an ugly face. She didn’t know if it was because of what the man with glasses just said that made her feel familiar with these weird and twisted trees.
Wang Yun Yanhan hid behind Xia Qing in fear, not daring to take a breath, just looking around.
"Old Li, what should I do?": Xia Qing looked at the dark path, looking a little flustered, but her face was still calm. Seeing Old Li's frown, Xia Qing hesitated for a while He continued to speak:
“Do you want that thing?”
Hearing Xia Qing say this, the expressions of Lao Li, the man with glasses, and the gloomy and silent young man all changed, and they all turned to look at Xia Qing:
"That thing of yours can't be used, at least. You can't use it now. You can only use it when you encounter something that we can't solve." Lao Li looked at Xia Qing with an extremely serious look on his face.
"Well, Lao Li is right. That thing of yours is too dangerous and its controllability is too low. If it is not a crisis, it is better not to take it out."
At this time, the man with glasses also spoke and tried to persuade Xia Qing.
The cold young man did not speak, but just looked at Xia Qing, but his meaning was already clear.
After hearing what a few people said, Xia Qing nodded, his eyes flashing.
Wang Yun was confused as she listened to the conversation between several people. She didn’t know what they were talking about, and she didn’t know what the thing they were talking about was. Why did they say it was too dangerous to do now? Take it out.
Lao Li took the flashlight and glanced around, feeling the unusual silence around him. He knew he had to do something. It was already half past ten, and there were less than two days left before the time required to deliver the letter. hours.
If they don’t escape from the ghost wall as soon as possible, they will also die if they fail to complete the task of delivering the message!
Thinking of this, Lao Li gritted his teeth and looked at the men with glasses. Seeing that none of them showed any signs of expression, he said in a low voice:
"I'm here this time, and it's up to you to take care of me. My things won't be used a few times, and you have to contribute in the future."
Hearing what Lao Li said, the man with glasses and the cold young man said, They looked at each other and nodded at the same time to express that there was no problem:
"Okay, we will take the rest of the way. You just need to let us escape from the ghost wall."
Hearing the assurances from the bespectacled man and the cold young man, Lao Li nodded and took the money from his pocket. He took out half a blackened finger bone and a red lantern stick.
The phalanges are very small and look like a child’s little finger.
The bespectacled man and the others looked at Lao Li's movements, their eyes flashed, they didn't speak, they just watched quietly.
Wang Yun couldn't understand this. Looking at the blackened finger bones in Lao Li's hand, her face suddenly turned pale and she hid behind Xia Qing, not daring to look.
She is studying medicine, and when she saw the finger bones that Lao Li took out, she recognized them at a glance as human bones, and they belonged to a child.
Lao Li looked at the blackened phalanges in his hand, a flash of physical pain flashed in his eyes, and looked around. Lao Li did not hesitate, threaded the blackened phalanges with a fishing line, and then The other end of the fishing line passed through the tip of the lantern stick.
Lao Li was holding a lantern stick and looking at the half-finger bone hanging by the fishing line. His eyes were full of pain. To be honest, if it weren’t for the time to deliver the letter, there might not be enough time. Plus, the man with glasses and The cold young man was unwilling to take action. He would never come up with this thing. He had to work hard to get it.
Moreover, this thing is used once and less. Once it is used up, his chance of survival will be reduced by more than half.
Holding the lantern stick, Lao Li was very determined. Without hesitation, he took out a special lighter from his pocket and lit the blackened half of the finger bone.
The moment the phalanges were ignited, a dark flame ignited on the phalanges. The ignited fire enveloped everyone, dispelling the darkness. The coldness and ominousness permeated everyone, making people inexplicable. Scalp numbness.
When the darkness slowly faded, everyone finally saw clearly what was nearby and what was at the end of the winding road.
But when everyone saw the scene nearby clearly, everyone opened their mouths wide and their eyes showed fear.
Lao Li's eyes were trembling. What they saw in the twisted woods at this time was clearly corpses hanging upside down on the trees, including men and women, people and animals. The corpses were twisted and rotten, and some even Only the lower half of his body was left hanging on the tree, and his intestines were already black on the ground.
The bespectacled man and Xia Qing looked at all this, their faces extremely ugly, the twisted and rotting corpses, the coldness and ominousness, and the strange woods, all of which showed that their mission this time was very dangerous.
"Ah~!"
At this moment, a piercing scream came, with a cry in the voice, and it was Wang Yun's scream.
Hearing this scream, Lao Li's expression suddenly changed, and he suddenly lowered his head to look at the burning finger bones in his hand. After Wang Yun's scream sounded, the finger bones that were originally burning very slowly The phalanges immediately began to explode, and nearly one-third of them were lost in an instant.
And at this moment, the cold young man who had always been silent turned pale in an instant and turned his head sharply to look to the side.
After seeing the situation clearly, the cold young man's pupils tightened, and he saw a black figure standing quietly in the woods filled with corpses. At every turn, a pair of blood-red eyes stared at them, as if they would pounce on them and tear them apart at any time.
"Old Li, Xia Qing, glasses, let's go, go quickly, there is a real ghost here!"
The cold young man's voice was urgent and even more frightening.
When he heard that there was a ghost here, Lao Li's face turned pale. Without any hesitation, he turned around and ran towards the end of the path where his true identity was revealed.
Xia Qing and the man with glasses also reacted very quickly. The moment they heard that there was a ghost, they ran directly towards the old house at the end of the path.
They now know very well that the evil ghost will not attack them before the finger bone lamp burns out, so as long as they run out of the peach forest before the finger bone lamp burns out, they can survive. .
The cold young man looked at the broken limbs around him with an extremely ugly face. He followed Lao Li and the others and ran towards the old house, while Wang Yun just stood there blankly, looking at the people in the woods. His limbs were broken, his expression was dull, he had been frightened out of his wits.
Lao Li and Xia Qing ran away without even looking at Wang Yun, with no intention of caring about her.
When Wang Yun recovered from the sluggishness, she found that her surroundings were already pitch black, Lao Li and Xia Qing had disappeared, and the nearby peach trees were still full of corpses.
Wang Yun looked at all this, her eyes full of despair, tears welling up from her eyes, and she shouted loudly:
"Sister Xia Qing! Uncle Li! Where are you, don't leave me Alone!"
As he said that, he ran towards the path. Wang Yun was feeling desperate at this time. Fear spread in her heart. Although she was scared, she looked at the corpse in the peach forest. Wang Yun didn't dare to stop. She was afraid that if she stopped, she would become one of those corpses hanging on the peach tree, so she kept running like this, running with all her strength.
But the path in this peach forest is endless. No matter how long or how far Wang Yun runs, she seems to have never moved forward.
Slowly, Wang Yun's speed slowed down until it came to a complete stop. Wang Yun bent over and breathed heavily, and the tears in her eyes fell on the ground drop by drop.
She was desperate, completely desperate. She looked up at the endless path, her mouth opened, but she could no longer speak.
At this moment, the sound of stiff and heavy footsteps came from behind Wang Yun, coming from far to very close, neither urgent nor slow.
The moment she heard the footsteps, Wang Yun turned around fiercely, with panic and fear on her face. When she saw clearly who the owner of the footsteps behind was, her eyes widened instantly, filled with Horrified:
"No! Don't come over! No! Don't come over! Please! Don't come over!"
Wang Yun looked behind her in horror, kept backing away, and kept mumbling. If you yell at me not to come over.
Darkness enveloped Taolin, like a hungry ghost eating people, swallowing Wang Yun inside. After a desperate cry, Taolin returned to its usual peace and tranquility...
At this time, Lao Li and the four of you, listen to me from behind Wang Yun cried and looked very calm. No one would think of saving her. They were seeking death. They were not saints. For newcomers like Wang Yun, death would be death, and they would not be affected at all. Every flicker of emotion.
Speaking of which, it was because of Wang Yun's scream that this situation occurred. If not for this, they would not have escaped in such an embarrassing manner.
This is what they were thinking. Looking at the old house at the end of the path, Lao Li and the four of them were speeding up their pace. They knew that as long as they reached the old house, they would be safe, although they didn’t know if it was. It was really safe, but they were sure that the ghost in the peach forest would most likely not come after them.
Because there may be ghosts in the old house, but even if they know that there may be ghosts in the old house, they must go, not only to survive, but also to deliver the letter. If the letter cannot be delivered to them, they will still die... …
On the west side of the mountain, on a grassland dozens of kilometers away from Anxi Village, the surrounding area is desolate and overgrown with weeds.
Under the pitch-black night, a bus appeared suddenly and drove on this grassland. The lights of the bus penetrated the darkness and dispersed the shrouded black fog.
The surroundings were quiet. The bus slowly stopped on the grass, leaving deep wheel marks in the grass.
As the bus stopped, the door slowly opened, and pale lights filled the air from inside the car. A bride, with her whole body dry and wearing a wedding dress and a red hijab, slowly emerged from the car. Get out of the bus and walk towards the depths of the mountain. (End of this chapter)
