Chapter 33 Extra Story: Long-distance Travel (2)
"It's not surprising that some people, you didn't take down this mountain."

"No, that person, it seems..."

"It seems like something, you don't want to say again, the portrait you saw last night appeared, right?" Zheng Yuan tore off the photo that was taken immediately and threw it out, and Wang Shiqi's wide-eyed eyes were slowly developing in the blackness of nothingness. "Oh, it's so funny, I'm going to take it home and frame it." Zheng Yuan held the photo up to Wang Shiqi's face, and suddenly stopped laughing.

In the photo, at the place he pointed, a figure emerged among the vines and vines. Although it was out of focus, Zheng Yuan could still see the dark red floral skirt, and the hair that fell down covered his face.

The second half of Wang Shiqi's sentence finally came out of his throat: "That person is like Sister Meng."

Zheng Yuan raised his eyes to look there, but there was no one there.

Wang Shiqi snatched the photo from his hand and threw it away with a flick of his hand as if it was burning.

After such a fuss, the atmosphere of the relaxing hiking tour suddenly cooled down.Zheng Yuan wanted to suggest going back home immediately, but he didn't want Wang Shiqi to laugh at his timidity in turn. He hung his stand behind his buttocks and followed the silent Wang Shiqi, probably thinking the same thing in his mind.

Because there was nothing to say along the way, the speed was much faster. Near noon, they had already set foot on the top of Fenghuang Ridge.Wang Shiqi took out a brand new portable gas stove with a decent appearance, and dug out two packs of instant noodles.

Seeing this, Zheng Yuan rolled his eyes. "I said you're almost done. Didn't you just go home and eat at night?"

"You know what, you've come here, you have to experience it no matter what." Wang Shiqi handed over a water bottle: "Go, there is a creek where you just came up, get some water back."

Zheng Yuan still wanted to talk back, but a rumble in his stomach made him subdue in the end.He walked back for a few minutes and found the place following the sound of gurgling water—there was not only a small stream, but also a shallow pool with a small waterfall. The sound is noisy, the color is quiet in the stone, and the meaning is deep in the pine.There were thin fish fry at the bottom of the water, gathering and dispersing as if there were none, Zheng Yuan became playful, took off his shoes, threw his things and stepped into the shallows by the pool, he folded his hands and bent down to get closer, intending to catch some live fish Go back and ask for credit.

There was a rush of footsteps behind him, Zheng Yuan didn't even bother to turn his head, he just stared at Xiaoyu with bated breath, and shouted in his mouth: "Wang, don't come in, you'll catch him right away!"

Wang Shiqi didn't answer, but approached him from behind.Zheng Yuan put his hand in the water, and was about to lift it up to splash him in the face, but suddenly he was choked by the face reflected in the water——what kind of Wang Shiqi is that, it's clearly Sister Meng!Zheng Yuan's heart constricted for a while, and he heard a sharp call: "Don't stay here! Go quickly! Go quickly!" Before he could react, someone grabbed his shoulder and pushed him violently, and he fell into the middle of the pool.

I didn't expect that the water looked like nothing, and it was quite deep in the middle.Zheng Yuan thumped, and the last sentence flashed through his mind.After thinking about it, I added another sentence - but I can't swim.

When he opened his eyes again, Zheng Yuan bumped into Wang Shiqi's approaching big face.His body was heavy, his mind was fuzzy, and his airway was full of watery smell. Even so, he also raised his hand and punched Wang Shiqi firmly on the left cheek.

"You boy, revenge for your kindness!" Wang Shiqi let go of him, rubbing his cheeks bitterly.

"Who allowed you to give me artificial respiration." Zheng Yuan sat up, wiping his mouth in disgust, and found himself still lying by the pool, with shoes and a water bottle in the same place, as if the danger just now was a dream. "My first kiss is for Zhou Huimin."

"You think I'm happy. If I hadn't saved you, you wouldn't have given Chu Ye away." Wang Shiqi stood up, picked up the hem of his T-shirt and wiped his sweat.Zheng Yuan looked confused: "You saved me without getting wet clothes?"

Wang Shiqi was stunned for a moment: "Who said I went into the water? When I ran over, you were dead on the shore, okay? You're really good, you can crawl back and faint again after drowning."

Zheng Yuan narrowed his eyes, a blurry picture flashed in his mind, dark and turbulent, a snow-white hand stretched out, dark hair changing shapes like a ghost, a face flashed through the gap, that yes--

Wang Shiqi thumped Zheng Yuan's shoulder: "Hey, what are you thinking! Are you confused?" Zheng Yuan woke up suddenly, and thumped back without thinking. One sound.Zheng Yuan stared at the shoulder protruding from his collar, and saw a small stain: "What's wrong with you?"

"...Gunshot wound. It is estimated that it was hit by a soil gun."

Zheng Yuan hurriedly grabbed Wang Shiqi's left shoulder, and his heart sank after only one glance - the back was more seriously injured than the front, the cotton material was rubbed to pieces, the back was covered with blood, and fainted a little red.

"Who did this!"

"I didn't know. I just lowered my head to light the fire, and suddenly it exploded. When I regained my senses, I couldn't see anyone." Seeing Zheng Yuan panicked, Wang Shiqi hurried back to make amends: "It's okay, it doesn't hurt. , It’s scary to look at. The earthen gun hit iron sand, and this shot brushed the shoulder and missed the flesh.” Wang Shiqi bent down to pick up the water bottle camera and Zheng Yuan’s shoes: “But this place can’t stay anymore , hurry up!"

Zheng Yuan was taken aback for a moment: "Just now... I've heard this before... before being pushed into the water..." He faced Wang Shiqi's pale face, not knowing whether he should continue: "Yes...it's Sister Meng... ..."

Wang Shiqi gritted his teeth and said nothing. After a while, he stuffed the shoes back into his hand: "We can't go back anymore, let's go another way."

Fenghuang Ridge is a newly emerging hiking scenic spot in the past two years. The advantage is that it is not over-developed, and the disadvantage is that it is not over-developed-except for the sidewalk that Zheng Yuan and the others enter the mountain, there is no second road.So at this moment, Wang Shiqi's so-called change of road has become a ghost hitting a wall between the two of them stumbling across the barren mountains.

"Hey, I said, no, let's go back the same way, I don't think there may be an ambush..." Zheng Yuan leaned on a tree branch as a temporary walking stick, even if it was like this, he felt sore below his knees.Except for the water bottle and the instant camera, all his belongings were in Wang Shiqi's bag, and Wang Shiqi's bag was left on the top of Fenghuang Ridge. He had no watch, no mobile phone, and no compass. Zheng Yuan couldn't tell how long they had been walking. I can't tell whether they are spinning around in the same place - as if they are not unlucky enough, the poisonous sun that made people shiver before has disappeared at this moment, and the leaden gray clouds are pressing down layer by layer - it will rain heavily .

"I was really beaten to death when I went back. Is it yours or mine?" Wang Shiqi panted, but his feet didn't stop. "It's not right since I stayed in that store yesterday, and it's not right anywhere."

"Wrong, there was nothing wrong when you stayed in the hotel, it started when you insisted that you had run into a ghost."

"I have nothing to say that I hit a ghost, I'm free! Let me tell you, it's absolutely true, it's the voice of Sister Meng, even crying and shouting, and it disappears as soon as I enter. Besides, even if the voice can be heard wrong, it's so loud. A black and white photo, my eyesight is 5.0, it is impossible to see it wrong."

"But the elder sisters in this kind of town don't all look similar..." Zheng Yuan muttered: "Okay, even if you really bumped into a ghost, this ghost rode a bicycle to show us the way the next day, and followed us the next day. When we go up the mountain, will we still hit you with earthen guns? Don’t you think it has mastered too much modern technology? Besides, why would they kill you? It’s not the right gender to find a substitute.”

"Don't forget who pushed you into the water before. In terms of finding a substitute, you are more suitable than me."

Before Zheng Yuan had time to scold him for being alarmist, Dou Da's raindrops suddenly hit the top of his head. "Here again! The clothes are not dry yet!" Wang Shiqi covered his head and looked around, and pointed to a sunken hole not far away with a wave of his hand: "There! Whoever is slow is a puppy!"

Zheng Yuan didn't want to be a puppy, but when he was indented into the place that was not much bigger than the dog hole, he still became a drowned chicken, the second time, within a day.

Wang Shiqi, who arrived first, was still in the mood to clap his hands and laugh at him. Zheng Yuan stared at the muddy ground outside the cave where the rain had pulverized it, and suddenly felt very tired.

I originally thought it was a common cloud and rain in summer, and it would be over after ten minutes of dying, but I didn't expect that the rain would fall out of style and level. Seeing that the sky was dark, the rain did not weaken at all.Zheng Yuan huddled into a ball in the dark, with his chin on his knees, feeling inexplicably irritable while rolling over goosebumps.He was hungry, cold, slumped, trapped in this ghost place by the heavy rain, he had never missed home so much as today.

"You said, we won't die here." Zheng Yuan's voice was hoarse, which startled Wang Shiqi.

"What nonsense, don't think about it, many people saw us when we went into the mountain, and if we didn't go out after a while, someone must have come to look for us." Seeing that he didn't say anything, Wang Shiqi added a run on: "Besides, I don't plan to accompany you Die, I am a dragon and phoenix among people like me, so many girls are crying and crying for me to be widowed."

"It's just you? Let's rest early, thank God if you don't snatch my daughter-in-law."

"Then who knows, it's not as fun as sister-in-law."

"go away."

Wang Shiqi was relieved to see that he cheered up again, and stretched out his hand to tease him, but Zheng Yuan resisted for a while, and finally let him pinch his face.He clapped angrily, but Wang Shiqi didn't withdraw his hand.

"Hey, why is your face so hot?" Wang Shiqi's hand slipped to the back of his neck, Zheng Yuan thought that Wang Shiqi was going to make fun of himself again, and struggled to hide.

"Don't move." Wang Shiqi brought his neck closer, and a small piece of cool skin touched Zheng Yuan's forehead. "...You have a fever." Wang Shiqi's face was so close that Zheng Yuan couldn't see his expression, but he could feel the worry in his voice. "Everything can be sick, and your physical fitness is not good." Wang Shiqi pulled him over involuntarily, and stuffed him with the little water bottle left: "Now I can't walk in the dark, let's wait until dawn. Drink some water first, and sleep for a while. "

"but I……"

"Don't talk nonsense." Wang Shiqi pressed his fingers on Zheng Yuan's forehead, it was cold.After Zheng Yuan drank the water, there was a mass of warm air on his back. In the gloomy humidity, only this heat made people feel stable. It exuded a faint smell of soapy water. Even though it was mixed with sweat and blood, it was the only thing Zheng Yuan was familiar with. smell.He sniffled, his eyes blurred.

It was already early the next morning when Zheng Yuan climbed out of the cave, the sun was shining brightly, the air was transparent, and the vegetation was fresh. He yawned and stretched his waist, and when he took a step out, he suddenly felt his feet loosen. The mud was up to the knees.

"This is..." Zheng Yuan raised his eyelids, and the drowsiness disappeared in an instant—the dense forest outside the cave yesterday had disappeared, and only a muddy yellow slope was left, mixed with stones and broken logs, rushing to the ground Going down the mountain——the mudslide that happened once in a thousand years actually caught them up.

Zheng Yuan scrambled and crawled into the cave, Wang Shiqi was still sleeping, with one brow pressed down, gnashing his teeth, as if he was angry with someone in a dream.He just poked his head in, only to hear Wang Shiqi call lightly: "The surname is Zheng..."

Zheng Yuan thought he was going to say something funny in his dreams, so he leaned over and heard the second part: "...you stupid..."

He immediately wanted to slap him, but seeing his arm still wrapping around him from the corner of the eye, he slapped his forehead on the spot instead.

Wang Shiqi opened his eyes slower than Zheng Yuan expected, he was even ready to unmask, but Wang Shiqi's beating was delayed.If he hadn't joined the party in the third year of high school, Zheng Yuan, a materialistic young man under the red banner, would have thought he had gone against evil.

Wang Shiqi groaned for a long time, and Hao Lai said the whole sentence: "Don't make trouble, you have a headache."

"Are you still planning to pay a monthly subscription here?" Zheng Yuan dragged him out of the cave, "Get up, it's thanks to you that you can sleep in this crappy place."

"You slept soundly tonight, but I didn't." Wang Shiqi coughed, "You didn't even look at it, yesterday, if it wasn't for me...cough cough cough..."

After standing under the sun, Zheng Yuan knew that what Wang Shiqi said was true.His eye sockets were sunken, his chin was blue, and even his lips were discolored.Thinking of yesterday's gunshot wound, Zheng Yuan trembled, and quickly supported his shoulder: "It's alright, alright, thank you for saving my life."

"You are so good, thank you can be said as if I owe you money."

"You are already like this, can you stop being poor with me?" Zheng Yuan pointed to his feet: "Look at the bottom."

Wang Shiqi narrowed his eyes: "I... Where are your shoes?"

"Is your point wrong?" Zheng Yuan lamented the gap in IQ: "Mudslide! We were almost buried last night!"

"The trees are gone, but I can see the direction down the mountain." Wang Shiqi still didn't straighten his focus: "But how can you walk if you don't have any shoes?"

"I accidentally stepped in the mud just now, and I couldn't pull it out. When I took my foot out, the shoe disappeared."

"That won't work, let's dig it out. How can you walk without shoes?" Wang Shiqi looked around, took out the branch that the two of them were leaning on yesterday, and inserted it into the hole in the footprints to mix it up.Looking at the soft mud, a big hole was dug out, and a little bit of green shit emerged.Wang Shiqi's eyes lit up.
