first book
This man's sleeping posture was a bit weird, with his body curled up. Fujiang thought about it and found that this posture was very suitable for lying in a cabinet.
No wonder he had to sleep alone in a cupboard at the bottom of the mountain. Although he was a little taller, it was still easy to curl up.
Fujiang doesn't like to sleep curled up. He prefers to lie comfortably on a wide bed, so he can't understand this kind of person who likes to sleep curled up.
The older man had to curl up to sleep. Fujiang felt awkward just thinking about this position, but Yi Yue actually seemed to be used to it.
He turned to look at the two people who were trapped together. According to Wang Xia'er, they didn't catch the leader alive. Before they could control him, he took poison and committed suicide.
What Wang Xia'er hasn't said yet is that it was actually because some time was wasted in rescuing Fu Jiang, otherwise he could have brought him back alive.
The leader, the man who was obviously carrying a secret, died, and the remaining two men had disheveled hair and didn't look very smart.
Fujiang didn't even dare to ask where the people who went up the mountain with him were, because he had a very bad intuition.
I'm afraid those people are no longer here.
The source of this intuition is very strange. It does not come from the tone of the team leader talking to him, but... from Yi Yue, who usually never seems to understand the world.
Yi Yue acted as if he didn't know about this matter since he woke up, and never discussed this issue with him. Perhaps it was because of his existence that Wang Xia'er and Li Xiangli didn't mention it at all.
But Fujiang clearly sensed from this avoidance that those people were probably gone.
Fu Jiang used to hate it when people didn't talk to him. But this time Yi Yue didn't tell him, so he just pretended to be dumbfounded.
He didn't know why he didn't want to ask any more questions, and he didn't know why Yi Yue didn't become so annoying this time.
After a while, the sky gradually became brighter, and the people in the cave gradually woke up. Li Xiangli stood up and stretched heavily. When he opened his eyes and saw the two unkempt people facing him, he was still frightened.
Shivering.
"Look at your cowardice." Fu Jiang, who was standing next to him, looked at Li Xiangli's timid appearance and couldn't help but mocked, "Didn't you see it yesterday? Are you so scared today?"
"Yesterday, I didn't see it as soon as I opened my eyes yesterday." Li Xiangli stuttered.
He suddenly stopped at home, looked at Fu Jiang's face and said, "Did you not sleep last night?"
Fujiang only slept for the first half of the night yesterday. He really couldn't sleep for the rest of the night and just stared at the stars. As soon as he heard this, he let out a vague sound.
Wang Xia'er, who was getting up next to her, said softly, "You still have poison on your body. If you don't get enough rest, the poison won't be cured."
"Let's continue walking up the mountain today." Yi Yue suddenly said, "Let's see what's in this mountain."
"Wait a minute, why don't we go back to the team and take a look first?" Fu Jiang said, "There must be a spy in there, right? What if they attack today?"
"They probably can't do anything. A person just disappeared last night. If it were me, I would definitely wait and see for a while before making a decision." Li Xiangli said softly.
Yi Yue stopped and turned to look at Fujiang. Fujiang didn't know why, but he felt particularly panicked when he stared at him with such emotionless eyes.
He was stared at more and more weakly and weakly, and when he finally almost said: "It's okay if you don't go," Yi Yue suddenly stood up and said: "Let's go."
"Huh?" Fu Jiang was stunned. Wang Xia'er and Li Xiangli picked up their things and left without saying a word. Their cool and neat looks somehow always gave people the illusion that they had encountered some serious psychological shadow...
Looking at Yi Yue's back, Fu Jiang didn't dare to ask him where he was going after "leaving". Should he insist on going up the mountain, or should he go down the mountain to see the people in the team?
With this tangled mood, Fu Jiang still followed them forward, leaving only the two people who were still tied tightly in the cave.
…
Those who didn't sleep last night listened to the slightly older man telling a story about Flower Street.
"Is there really such a flower street?" Erbao, the youngest and responsible for pulling the cart, asked.
He had no martial arts skills and was simply hired to pull carts. He was frightened last night, but after the sun rose this morning, he became bolder again.
"Let's go down the mountain at dawn." Someone in the team said, "This ghost place is really weird. I don't want to stay any longer."
"No..." He Jin and Ai Yan stopped them, "There are still people who went up the mountain last night and haven't come back yet."
Their words made someone in the team sigh heavily. He Jin and Ai Yan also looked at each other, with worries in their eyes.
Originally, Fujiang told them last night to go up the mountain to see what the fire was about and then come down. But now it's daylight. Even if there is a fire, I'm afraid they can't see it clearly. How come he and those few people still don't see it clearly?
Come down?
The team is filled with a lifeless atmosphere. If the others are not here, then they can set off directly. After all, many people here are not in the same group, and they don't care about the life and death of people they don't know. They can lose people.
There are exactly two bosses here.
"How about we go up the mountain to look for them?" The feminine man said to everyone. His words instantly made the team excited.
Guo Xiu looked at the people around him who desperately wanted to go down the mountain because of fear, or who supported going up the mountain to have another look because they wanted money. Everyone had a different look on their face.
The faces of each of these people look real.
Guo Xiu observed them for a long time, memorizing each of their faces in his mind, then silently closed his eyes and began to play back desperately in his mind.
"Okay, listen to me." Ai Yan came out and shouted, looking at the remaining people, he sighed longly.
To be honest, the things he had experienced since going up the mountain made him feel a little scared, but leaving Wang Xia'er and Fu Jiang and going down the mountain at this time was definitely something he couldn't bear.
"Let's go up the mountain today." Ai Yan thought about it and finally decided.
As soon as he said this, even if someone in the team had any objections, they could only remain silent.
"Everyone is holding a rope in their hand." Ai Yan took out a bundle of red rope from the small bamboo basket containing needlework in the house, then cut it into small pieces and placed them in everyone's hands.
Here, "Every two people hold a piece of rope in their hands and tie the rope around their wrists."
After a while, a dozen pieces of red rope were tied around everyone's wrist, with every two people holding one piece.
"Let's not separate too much from each other along the way, lest anything happen." Ai Yan said, "This time, no matter what happens, we won't be separated again."
Guo Xiu looked at the red string on his wrist. What a coincidence... the other end of this red string happened to be worn on the hand of the feminine man.
She secretly sighed in her heart, and then the group started walking up the mountain vigorously.
Fujiang and the others were walking among a group of small wooden houses in the mountains. The windows of these houses all had a small hole through which they could see what was inside.
Fujiang heard Wang Xiaer say that they had been here yesterday. He looked at the small holes on the windows and then used his fingers to compare them.
Then he shivered and continued walking forward as if he hadn't discovered anything.
"We left in a hurry yesterday, mainly because we were looking for someone, but we couldn't find anything anywhere. We only saw a tunnel. We were just about to see where the tunnel led, but suddenly we saw lights on the mountain opposite." Wang Xiaer said.
"At that time, Yi Yue guessed that the person who escaped from the tunnel might want to send a message to others, so he lit the lamp and hurriedly took us over."
"Then...it's my fault." Fujiang said sarcastically.
He remembered that he had also decided to kill directly because he saw the lights on the mountain yesterday. In this way, he could be regarded as the person who was "passed on the message".
After working for a long time, it turns out that the root cause is here.
Wang Xiaer and the others pushed the door into the house casually. The door locks here had been broken, and they could go in as long as they pushed it open. Fujiang also walked casually. In his heart, he felt that he would never see anything strange again.
Just compare these houses with the ones down the mountain to see if there are any differences.
The people here have obviously lived for a longer time. Fujiang can see clothes only worn by people of his mother's generation, as well as some rusty utensils. Just by looking at these things, he can roughly infer that people live here.
The person should have spanned at least thirty or forty years.
Fujiang's eyes casually passed over a dead plant, a broken cup and a set of moldy bedding. He then casually glanced at the cabinets in each room next to him, and suddenly found that
Something strange happened.
"Huh? What's wrong?" Wang Xia'er asked curiously as she looked at Fu Jiang's movements.
Fujiang frowned and walked over, took out a yellowed notebook from the same cabinet, and slowly opened it.
"What is this?" Wang Xia'er was stunned for a moment when she walked over. She also felt that the book looked familiar. After thinking about it carefully, she actually remembered the origin of this thing.
It used the same paper as the booklets Six Doors gave them when they left!
Fu Jiang and Wang Xia'er looked at each other and saw the excitement in each other's eyes.
I didn't expect to find such a thing in a place like this.
"What did you find?" Li Xiangli also came over. He casually glanced at the words in the book and felt a little dizzy. There were so many words on it that it would make people who don't like reading vomit.
.
"March 26th, today I added human blood to the medicine to see how the bugs react."
"Conclusion - Human blood seems to have miraculous effects on bugs."
Fujiang read it for a long time but couldn't understand it. The things written in this volume were too messy and disorganized. They were completely different from the ones Liumen originally gave them. It looked more like... some kind of insect-raising notes?
It turned out to be this kind of thing, so no wonder it was thrown here casually. Fu Jiangxin thought.
But then he started to cheer up again.
Chapter completed!
