Chapter 045: In the deep mountains and old forests
Xi Menglan looked back and forth, there were no wheel prints, and after a few steps forward, the road became narrower and narrower, and the trees became denser and denser, not at all like a road that could pass a wheelbarrow.
It's over, maybe you're on the wrong track.
Xi Menglan's first reaction in her heart was this, she didn't feel that it was difficult, she thought that if she walked back the same way and found the road with the wheel print, she would be able to find Kou Juncheng and her second uncle along the road.
With this thought, Simonlan walked back along the path she had come, not realizing the seriousness of the matter, and she was leisurely along the way, humming a little song in her mouth.
Before she knew it, she hummed three times, and she didn't see any forks in the road, and she didn't see the gentle slope when she came, and Simalan looked around, and it was all the same bush, and there was nothing else landmarked.
At this time, she slowly came to her senses, and walked for a long time, it seems that she did not go to the original place, according to the time just now, the time to go back is much longer than the time when she came, and it stands to reason that she should be able to walk back.
"It's weird......"
Xi Menglan looked around, grabbed a dog tail grass, and walked around in her hand, slowly began to frown, fiddling with the dog tail grass in her hand was also involuntarily knotted.
"Isn't this just a road, why didn't I go back to the original place, I walked very slowly, I didn't see a fork in the road......"
Ximenglan stopped on the road, muttering incessantly, and did not dare to continue walking.
Look left, look right, the longer Xi Menglan stands here, the more frightened her heart becomes, and she suddenly feels that the mountain wind has become cold, she knows that this is her psychological effect, but no matter how she comforts herself, it is useless, and she can't relieve the fear in her heart at all.
"Juncheng~"
Xi Menglan looked around, cleared her throat, and shouted tentatively, and her own echo came from the opposite hillside, one after another, far away.
This echo made the silent Eagle Gully even more eerie, and Xi Menglan heard her own cold hair stand on end, shrunk her neck, and walked down the road.
knew that this road was so weird, so she didn't go secretly by herself, and made it clear to her second uncle that he wouldn't let her come.
It's useless to think about this, how can there be so many regret pills for sale, picking up a thick branch from the bushes, which can be regarded as giving yourself courage and seeking psychological comfort.
Xi Menglan shouted Kou Juncheng's name after three or five steps, and her heart became more and more empty as she listened to the echoes.
After shouting for five minutes, she didn't hear back from Kou Juncheng and her second uncle, and Xi Menglan slowly gave up, since she couldn't hear it, it was far away, and it was useless to shout again.
Carrying a stick, Simalan mustered up the courage to walk back, not knowing how long the road ahead was, the bushes were still dense, and there was no intention of seeing the exit.
Ximenglan stopped and looked up in front, sighed, sat on the ground and leaned next to her, staring at the sky, her mouth was dry, and she didn't know if she was in a hurry.
Sitting here, Xi Menglan realized that Yinggou didn't even have the sound of insects and birds, it was still a gust of mountain wind, but as soon as she sat down, there was no sound of the wind, it was quiet and scary, and she seemed to hear her own breathing.
If you really can't find your way back, I'm afraid you'll have to spend the night here, whether it's cold or not, spending the night in this place will scare you to death.
She understood what Kou Juncheng said, why all the people who had an accident in Yinggou were women, I'm afraid that those women were all alone, such a strange place, it was really lonely after being alone, it really made people's bones numb.
Simonlan stood up, patted the dirt on her body, looked around, and let out a long sigh of relief.
"Isn't it just a road, it can scare me to death, my dignified Ximenglan, and I'm not a road idiot, I can't find it back, besides, no one comes to this Yinggou on weekdays, what's the sound, scare yourself."
Xi Menglan rolled up her sleeves, and she didn't know if she was terrified to the extreme, so she suddenly had a little courage, waved the stick in her hand and continued to walk forward, which looked like she was learning from the west.
After walking for another ten minutes or so, she saw a small stream in front of her, the water flow was not big and clear, Ximenglan walked over and washed her hands, picked up the clean water in her palm and put it to her lips and dipped it, it was cold.
I heard my grandmother say that the water in the mountains is spring water, which is extremely sweet, and now I taste it, and I understand the advertising slogan, Nongfu Spring is a little sweet.
Xi Menglan took a big gulp and drank it, just now her mouth was dry, covered with sweat, and she squatted by the water for a while, feeling cool and relaxed.
After a short break, Simalan looked around, and was even more convinced that she was on the wrong path, because she had not seen the stream when she came.
I couldn't tell the direction from left to right, so I had to walk forward, expecting an exit in front of me, not to mention my own village, even if it was the next village, as long as it was a village, she could go home.
I don't know how long I walked, Ximenglan hadn't gotten out of the woods yet, her stomach was gurgling several times, Ximenglan's physical strength was almost consumed, her legs and stomach began to hurt, and the courage to support the little hope at the beginning was slowly exhausted.
Leaning under a relatively thick tree, panting heavily, the clothes on his back were also soaked with sweat, the wind blew through his back, and a chill spread through his brain, and his back was cold.
Seeing that the light in the woods is getting less and less, and the sun is gradually sinking in the west, the little courage that Ximenglan has left is slowly fading, and it seems that she has to live in this deep mountain and old forest today.
sighed, thinking that he couldn't get out left and right, and now he didn't have much strength left, so he simply leaned here to rest more, and it wasn't bad for this little time.
After walking for so long on the mountain road, I was tired, and after such a break, I fell asleep unconsciously.
When she opened her eyes again, Xi Menglan looked at the backlit figure, it was Kou Juncheng!!
Kou Juncheng !!
Xi Menglan opened her eyes suddenly, watching him blink vigorously, only then did she get used to the brightness of the light in the room, looking at Kou Juncheng's worried face, she raised her hand and touched Kou Juncheng's arm.
"Juncheng ......"
The reason why she hasn't spoken for a long time, with such a mouth, Xi Menglan's voice is hoarse, and her lips are also cracked and painful, and she can't help frowning and gasping.
Kou Juncheng looked at Xi Menglan, his excited eyes were full of tears, he grabbed Xi Menglan's arm, his mouth kept moving, but he didn't say a word.
"You...... You're awake! ”
Kou Juncheng immediately hugged Ximenglan in his arms, and the strength of the blow was so strong that he wanted to rub Ximenglan into his body.
