When Zhao Xu heard this, he hurriedly asked the witch: "Grandma, are the people you mentioned traveling with me the people from the scientific expedition team?"

The witch said: "Don't leak the secrets of heaven. The reason why I am blind is because I leak too many secrets! You are a kind-hearted person and a blessed person. As long as you turn to the light in your heart, everything will be saved. I'm afraid you are the one I can see

The last one, when you come back, if I am no longer here, remember to collect the body for me. I will thank you!"

"What?" Zhao Xu was shocked when he heard this.

The witch said: "No need to make such a fuss! In this world, no one can escape life and death. I just don't want no one to help me clean up after I die. Young man, please."

"Grandma, don't worry! As long as I can come back safely, I will definitely do what you asked me to do for you."

"Go ahead! Remember what I said, don't trust anyone but yourself."

Zhao Xu felt a knot in his heart. He thought to himself: "Can't you believe Su Rou's words?"

After saying goodbye to the "witch", Zhao Xu quickly looked for Su Rou.

Su Rou was carrying two people's bags on her back. Although she exercised regularly, the two bags on her body were too heavy.

After seeing Zhao Xu come back, he immediately took off the package from his body and sat down on the package.

Seeing that Su Rou was dripping with sweat from exhaustion, Zhao Xu said to Su Rou: "Officer Su, if you can't carry it, just wait for me where you are!"

Su Rou complained to Zhao Xu: "What do you carry in this bag? Why is it so heavy?"

Zhao Xu smiled and said, "You will know when the time comes!"

"You need to rest for a while, and then we'll set out again!" Zhao Xu lit a cigarette and started smoking.

Su Rou asked Zhao Xu: "When you saw the witch, did she say anything to you?"

"She said she might be gone when we come back. Let me help collect the body!"

"What?" Su Rou was shocked when she heard this.

Although the witch was old and blind, she looked very strong. Suddenly, Su Rou felt a little sad when she heard the news.

Su Rou murmured: "How could this happen?"

"Don't think about it! Maybe she has already looked away."

Zhao Xu did not dare to tell Su Rou that he should not trust anyone except himself.

These so-called "masters" always say half of what they say and leave half of what they say, leaving people confused.

After the cigarette was burned out, Su Rou was almost rested.

He stood up and said to Zhao Xu: "Let's hit the road! I'm afraid we'll have to spend the night in the mountains tonight."

Zhao Xu said: "This is just the beginning. If you regret it, it's still too late!"

Su Rou glared at Zhao Xu and said, "I always do things if I don't do them. If I do, I won't regret it!"

"Let's go!" Su Rou stood up and picked up her bag.

Zhao Xu took the backpack from Su Rou and said, "Give me the bag!"

"I can do it by myself!" Su Rou resolutely refused to give her backpack to Zhao Xu. She stubbornly carried it on her own.

In desperation, Zhao Xu carried his own parcel on his back.

Su Rou only carried a few changes of clothes in her bag.

But Zhao Xu's backpack is nearly a person tall. It contains everything, enough for life in the wild.

This backpack weighs at least several dozen kilograms, but when carried on Zhao Xu's body, it feels as light as nothing.

The two of them were walking together, talking and laughing, towards the mountains.

Not long after walking, I heard someone talking from a side road.

Zhao Xu and Su Rou looked at each other and looked in the direction of the fork in the road. They turned out to be the team of scientific researchers.

Zhao Xu's expression changed drastically when he saw this team of scientific expedition personnel.

What are you really afraid of? What's coming!

In order to avoid this scientific expedition team, the two of them got up early on purpose. Unexpectedly, they encountered this scientific expedition team.

The girl named "Linlin" from the scientific expedition team spotted Zhao Xu at a glance.

He hurried over to Zhao Xu and said excitedly: "Hey, aren't you the gentleman who helped us repair the car?"

Zhao Xu smiled awkwardly and said, "Hello!"

"Hello, my name is Zhu Linlin! Sir, I really want to thank you for that day. I haven't had a chance to express my gratitude to you yet. What's your surname?"

"My surname is Zhao!"

"It turns out to be Mr. Zhao!"

Zhu Linlin smiled and said, "Mr. Zhao, are you going to enter Wushan Mountain?"

"Yes! We are going to Wushan Mountain to collect herbs."

"Let's go together then? We are going to Dawu Mountain for scientific research?"

"No!" Zhao Xu declined politely and said, "We collect herbs and you do scientific research. It's not the same route at all. Let's go our separate ways!"

Zhao Xu didn't want to go with these people.

If you walk with these people, the words of the "witch" will come true again.

The witch said that among the people he was traveling with, one of them was not a "human being!"

Zhao Xu felt horrified at the thought of this.

At this time, the sun has risen in the east, and people's shadows can be clearly seen.

It is said that "ghosts" have no shadow.

Zhao Xu looked at the scientific expedition team members one by one. When he saw these people, everyone had a shadow.

Is this really weird?

So what does the witch mean when she says that there is someone here who is not a "person"?

Su Rou pretended to urge Zhao Xu: "Zhao Xu, let's hurry up and hurry up!"

Zhao Xu nodded with a "Yes!" and said to Zhu Linlin: "Miss Zhu, let's go on our way first."

Seeing that Zhao Xu refused to go with them, Zhu Linlin felt a little disappointed. Finally, she asked, "You really don't want to go with us?"

"No! You are going to conduct a scientific examination. This is a big deal! It is not convenient for us to participate in it."

"Okay! Goodbye, Mr. Zhao."

"goodbye!"

After Zhao Xu and Zhu Linlin said goodbye, they quickly left the scene with Su Rou, as if they were avoiding the god of plague.

Seeing Zhao Xu and Su Lin walking in a hurry, Zhu Linlin frowned slightly and said to herself: "These two people are so strange!"

Professor Liu from the scientific expedition team walked up to Zhu Linlin and asked, "Linlin, what are they doing in Wushan?"

"It's about collecting medicine! It's very dangerous here. They might be in danger."

"Yes! I invited them to go together, but they didn't agree."

"Forget it! We still focus on conducting scientific examinations. Let's go!" Professor Liu said.

Su Rou turned around and saw that the team of scientific researchers had fallen far behind. She breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "We avoided them like we were avoiding the plague. We got up so early, but we didn't expect to encounter them again."

"Yes! I'm not afraid of walking with them. It's just that the witch said that one of them is not human. This is too scary!"

"Isn't one of them a ghost?" Su Rou asked fearfully.

Zhao Xu shook his head and said, "Probably not. I just took a closer look at them. Everyone has a shadow. Ghosts have no shadows!"

"Let's go! We just need to stay away from them."

The two of them continued heading into the mountains.

At noon, Zhao Xu and Su Rou found a shady place and prepared to take a nap and have lunch.
