Chapter 8 Chapter 6 Entering the Mountain

At around 7 o'clock in the morning, when I drove to the newspaper building, I saw three very good off-road vehicles.Many people beside the car were busy moving equipment, and Qiu Mu was standing not far away talking to the four people in front of him. He was slightly taken aback when he saw us from the corner of his eye. "Hey, aren't you the young man with high IQ that I interviewed in the dry steam room yesterday?" He walked over and asked politely, "It's a coincidence that we met here. Why, are you going to work? Or go to school?" "We are here for tourism." I replied lightly.

He glanced at the backpacks on me and Li Nuoyi, "You need to carry so many things when traveling? Are you also hiking enthusiasts?" "Almost." I nodded. His complexion changed, and a drop of cold sweat even broke out on his forehead, "Could it be that you are planning to go to Yinshan Village with us?" "You're so smart." I nodded again. Qiu Mu's expression collapsed, "Nonsense, the last two applicants are a couple who have a lot of hiking experience. I'm afraid you two have just turned 20!" "Our family has a tradition of early marriage." I shrugged my shoulders, and Li Nuoyi covered her mouth and snickered.

"But, when I signed up, someone told me clearly that the couple had climbed Mount Everest." "Yes, I did go there last year. Standing on the Himalayas, we successfully climbed to the summit with a height of 1,088 meters. We are very proud." Now that things have happened, we can only continue to be stubborn. The corners of Qiu Mu's eyes twitched and his face was black, thinking, shit, the average altitude of the Himalayas is 7,756 meters, plus an altitude of 1,088 meters is exactly the height of Mount Everest.Feelings, the two of them went sightseeing! "No, I definitely don't agree with you two who are not hairy enough to go to such a dangerous place. It will not only harm you, but also the entire team." Qiu Mu shook his head and refused very simply.

"Please, please take a look at the member list. Maybe you can see the remarks under our names." I said slowly and nonchalantly. The old man is very careful in doing things and will definitely not leave any loopholes. He glanced at the printed list suspiciously, and his expression changed drastically.Qiu Mu was a little depressed, "Although I don't know why your backstage is so strong, you can actually let the editor-in-chief appoint you. However, this time is not a child's play." "I've never thought of it as a game." My smile disappeared, and I said something that surprised him, "Don't you think it's a bit strange? There may be something wrong with the 'no porridge'. Yinshan Village is isolated from the outside world. You can only go on foot, but I have studied the death time of the group of backpackers, I am afraid you are also very clear, they die every three days. If there is a curse, the 'no porridge' should disappear in two days die."

"But why does he insist on going back now? He won't be able to return to Yinshan Village in two days at all! Since there is no time to go back, how can we talk about getting rid of the curse? Besides, it is still uncertain whether there is any supernatural involvement in this mysterious death. After all There are too many unclear things, I don’t know what he said to you, and finally moved you to organize this expedition. But the biggest unsteady factor, I’m afraid it’s him!” The methodical analysis made Qiu Mu stunned for a long time, his tone trembling, "Who are you?" "It's just an ordinary sophomore. I usually like to read mystery novels." I smiled with satisfaction, and it seemed that he was really taken aback. "Now, we are qualified to join your team."

He took a deep look at both of us, and finally said: "Go to the conference room first." Seeing him walking slowly towards the lobby of the newspaper office, Li Nuoyi secretly put his head next to my ear and asked, "Is there a problem with not eating porridge?" "Who knows? Maybe. But even if there is, it's just a poor man who is frightened and desperately trying to grab some straw to save his life. I did a little research on Yinshan Village last night, and it has been deserted for almost a hundred years. Yes. Many people have been there during the period, and I have never heard of anyone who died strangely after returning.”

I took a deep breath, "So these six people, either did something more than the rest of the people who have been there, or the cause of death has nothing to do with Yinshan Village." "Oh, sure enough. The president said that you will become stupid if you stay together for a long time, so it is true!" Li Nuoyi combed her long black hair with her hands. I frowned, "Why?" "Because you have thought through all aspects of the matter, I don't need to think in my head. How can I not be stupid in the long run." She stuck out her tongue cutely, and the attractive pink color was very attractive. Grab the urge to play with it in the palm of your hand, "Forget it, become stupid if you become stupid, as long as I can be with you, it doesn't matter if you are stupid or smart."

The two of us walked into the conference room together with the staff who installed the equipment and closed the car. The four people who were chatting with Qiu Mu just now had already sat down and were seriously looking at a piece of information in their hands. Seeing the two of us coming in, Qiu Mu nodded and handed over a printed document with the itinerary for this time.I took a look and found that it was almost exactly the same as the hiking process organized by Xia Xue and others. It seemed that this activity was to perfectly reproduce the experience of those six people. There were a total of twelve people sitting in the conference room.

Seeing that everyone has arrived, Qiu Mu coughed to signal everyone to pay attention to him, and then said: "The specific situation is clearly published in the newspaper, and I will not repeat the situation in Yinshan Village. Everyone should have checked it. This time The itinerary is all in the data, and our main purpose is to find out whether there is any supernatural power in Yinshan Village." He licked his lips, "Since the supernatural incident in Fengmen Village became popular on the Internet, the public's desire to know about mysterious incidents has become very strong. This time, our newspaper funded the event to find a reasonable explanation for the Yinshan Village incident. By the way, draw a perfect ending."

"Everyone present here is curious and has rich hiking experience. They must be mentally prepared for the difficulties of this trip. For everyone's safety, our newspaper office has also invited professionals, which are the two on my right. " "Hi everyone, my name is 'Gao Shan' and I have been a hiking and rock climbing instructor for fifteen years." The man nicknamed "Gao Shan" is about forty years old, short and thick, with a scar on his face. "My name is 'Liu Shui', and I'm Gao Shan's younger brother. I'm mainly engaged in cave exploration, with thirteen years of work experience." The man named Liu Shui is not much younger than his brother, and his face is full of bitterness and hatred, as if someone owes him money. He owed a beating expression like millions of dollars.

"These two people are responsible for the rescue of this trip." Qiu Mu continued, "As for the three people on my left, they are the photographer Zhou Xiang, the lighting engineer Gao Wei, and the key people of this trip 'Don't eat. Porridge, sir." Everyone's heads were raised, and their eyes were focused on Bu Eat Porridge. He looked very haggard without eating porridge, his originally handsome face showed paleness, weak eyes and exhausted expression, which made people doubt whether he could withstand the high-intensity hiking in the next few days. His lips trembled slightly, and he said: "Hello everyone, I am 'Don't Eat Porridge', my real name is Sang Lin, and I am the last survivor. Don't ask me whether I will die the day after tomorrow. To be honest, I also I don’t know, that’s why I’m getting more and more afraid, and I’m so afraid that I can’t sleep. Thank you very much for having the courage to accompany me back, although I don’t know the reason, but going back to Yinshan Village is probably the last way I can think of to survive.” "What happened to you?" A girl about twenty-five years old sat not far from me and asked, her expression showed strong interest. "Who knows?" Sang Lin said with a wry smile, "except that the village is a bit cold and gloomy, I don't think it is any different from the many other outdoor hikes in my life. Then I suddenly heard that 'riding a horse to find a donkey' is strange Died, and three days later 'Broken House' also died. The trekking companions died one after another every three days, and I almost went crazy." The girl was a little admirable, "You know you might die, but your performance is already very good." "Thank you." Sang Lin forced a smile. I also laughed.Li Nuoyi pulled my sleeve and asked in a low voice, "What are you laughing at?" "He's lying." I whispered. "Okay." Qiu Mu clapped his hands to signal everyone to look at him, "Now the remaining six participants introduce themselves, starting from the left." The first one to introduce herself was the girl who asked the question just now. She looks pretty good, her muscles are well-proportioned, and she has been exercising for a long time. Everyone was a little embarrassed, and a girl who called herself "Plucking the Goose's hair" probably didn't have much better personality. "Hello everyone, my name is 'Fake Hypocrisy'. Although the name is a bit fake, I am still very straightforward. My hobbies are hiking, adventure and photography." Aside from his huge figure, he is basically a character that you can forget when you look at it.Of course, his screen name is not kind either. The third person who introduced herself was another girl. She was very pure, with long hair and shawls. She was only around twenty-five or sixteen years old, but her words were a bit cold, "Whispering water drops." Then there is no more text. Seeing that everyone was waiting for her to continue the introduction, the girl reluctantly said: "Special skills, not good at communication." This is a shortcoming, right?When did strengths and weaknesses equate!Is she looking for someone to complain about? Wait a little longer, seeing that Qingyin Shuidrop is really reluctant to say more, the fourth talent broke the embarrassment, "My name is 'Winter Pastoral', I have a sunny personality, positive, single, young and promising, and my hobbies are returning to nature and exploring. Nature." Winter Pastoral is about 30 years old, wearing a set of rather expensive mountaineering equipment, and looks handsome, but the self-introduction of the blind date is a bit detracting. "My name is 'Strength and Jealous'. I have a wide range of hobbies, lively and cute. I am good at hiking and cooking." Li Nuoyi glanced at me, and temporarily took a nickname with profound meaning, "It's a pity that I already have a famous woman. " The corners of my eyes twitched, and I smiled bitterly: "My name is Ye Buyu, and hiking and rock climbing are passable. Please take care of me." Anyway, there is no difference between my real name and my screen name, so I simply don't bother to change it. Qiu Mu nodded: "The introduction is over, and everyone is getting to know each other. Please take care of each other in this adventure. I, a rookie, also need to be guided and helped by experienced experts. Don't gossip, let's all get in the car. Let's go. !" Everyone stood up, walked out of the reception room, packed their luggage, and got into three off-road vehicles respectively. Li Nuoyi and I sat in the second one. The off-road vehicles are all Warrior 3.6, with good performance, high chassis and strong passing ability.Twelve people are divided evenly, one car for every four people.We shared a car with Qingyin Shuidi and Yanguo Plucking Hair, which also means that all the girls in the team are concentrated in this car. Qingyin Shuidrop is basically as cold as the guardian girl. After she gets in the car, she crosses her legs and closes her eyes to rest.Yan Guo plucked hair and sat in the driver's seat without hesitation, with a happy expression on her face. It seemed that she was moved by being able to drive a large off-road vehicle. The convoy drove slowly out of the city center and entered the Ring Expressway, then drove straight west, and arrived at Xiahetan before nine o'clock. I looked at the itinerary in my hand. Today I will drive from the river beach to Magang, then take the National Highway, head west all the way, pass Fu Road and drive north into the beautiful mountains and green barriers of Linhai City, and drive for 300 kilometers. Arrive at Xieyuan Town for accommodation. Since Linhai City is located in the tropics, the surrounding terrain of more than 20 kilometers is very special, and it is even called a geographical living fossil in the world.Along the way, the ancient original appearance more than 100 million years ago is surprising. Li Nuoyi looked at the beautiful scenery, and the soft sound and water droplets were silent. I read the information, and there was a certain kind of subtle silence in the car.Only the sound of the car's engine reminded everyone that time was still passing. "Hey, are you also interested in the bizarre deaths of the people who didn't eat porridge?" Finally, Yan Guo plucked his hair and spoke. "I'm mainly bored, and I'm just messing around with time." I opened my mouth and said nonsense. Li Nuoyi covered her mouth and smiled, "For me, the main reason is that my husband wants to come. As a virtuous wife, I can only come along." This girl insisted on the husband and wife file setting, and after many times that it didn't work, I don't even have the strength to get angry now. "Are you two married? It's terrible, how old are you?" Yan Guo plucked his hair and expressed that he was shocked, but his expression was very gossip. "The place in our hometown is small, and everyone gets married early. At the age of my husband and I, he already belongs to the late married family." Li Nuoyi spoke nonsense more slipperily than I did. "What do you think of this person who doesn't eat porridge?" If the two women ㄗ' develop freely, they will definitely become entangled, so I immediately changed the subject. Yan Guo plucked his hair and was stunned, "I can't tell, he looks a little handsome, he is my favorite type. But you say that he is likely to die in two days, why don't you hurry up and enjoy life , Do you have to run back to Yinshan Village to suffer? According to the itinerary, we will walk to Baitan the day after tomorrow at most. If he is really dead, should we be responsible for carrying his body back?" This woman's personality is indeed a bit black-bellied, while saying that she is the type she likes, she nonchalantly curses the type she likes to die.A species named woman is too complex! "He wrote a suicide note and it was notarized. If he dies, he will be buried locally. Don't worry about it. The soft-voiced waterdrop who has been silent all this time raised his head and said this sentence, then lowered his head and closed his eyes." "Hehe, interesting." Yan Guo plucked his hair and laughed badly, "Although he is haggard without eating porridge, I don't see that he has the consciousness that he will die at any time." Sometimes a woman's intuition is surprisingly accurate, and I agree with her words.Sang Lin really didn't look like someone who was ready to die. Li Nuoyi asked Yan Guo to pluck his hair: "Why are you going to Yinshan Village?" "I have always liked outdoor activities. Since someone pays the bill, traveling for more than ten days does not cost a penny, and it can be featured in newspapers or even on TV. Of course, I should seize such a good opportunity. Once the director discovered it, I will embark on the road to stardom and get rid of the current poor life." Yan Guo plucked his hair and rubbed his hair, his eyes sparkled. At the age of twenty-five, she is still embracing the unrealistic dream of being a star. Should I evaluate her as a childlike innocence, or implicitly call her unrealistic?It really makes people have the urge to complain. "Qingyin Shuidrop, what about you?" Li Nuoyi turned to ask the cold girl beside her. "Why?" The girl opened her eyes. "Why are you going to Yinshan Village?" "There is a reason." The girl closed her eyes again, and answered concisely, but she just refused to say her reason. Li Nuoyi laughed a few times and looked at me helplessly. I sat in the passenger seat and looked out of the car.The undulating mountains appeared not far away, today's weather is very clear, the sun is shining on the earth, rendering everything radiant.The scenery is beautiful, and the mood is so beautiful that I can't help but feel more comfortable. The car continued to fall into silence, and the off-road vehicle quickly crossed the fields and low hills, and shuttled on the national road.After lunch at twelve o'clock, I continued on my way, and finally arrived at the place of accommodation for tonight-Xieyuan Town in the evening. Our group stayed in a local hotel. The building was a bit dilapidated, but the owner kept the room fairly clean.Just that night, a strange thing happened. Time flies by so fast after a day of driving, everyone is tired, so no one wants to wander around the town after dinner, everyone finally checks their equipment and luggage, and then goes back to the house early to sleep. Hypocritical and exhausted, he set the alarm clock and set off into the mountains at 7:30 tomorrow morning.For the next ten days or so, there was no way to rest well. Tonight, I am afraid, will be the last time I can sleep comfortably. Originally, the room was allocated to two people, but since he was a child, he didn't like to sleep with other people, so he insisted on asking for a single room, and agreed to pay the difference from his own pocket. Qiu Mu couldn't refuse, so he arranged for him again Room. He pretended to glance at his watch, it was half past nine in the evening.Stretched and lay down on the bed. He didn't know how long he had been asleep, when suddenly the sound of the door opening woke him up.He rubbed his eyes, only to find that the door of the closet was opened at some point. The wardrobe in this old hotel is very old, the paint color is dark red, and it looks a little creepy in the middle of the night.The open cabinet door reveals a dark space, like a monster's mouth, unfathomable. Pretending to prop up his body, he glanced at his watch, it was exactly three o'clock in the morning.He turned over and was about to go back to sleep, but he slept very restlessly, and finally got up and closed the wardrobe door. Back on the bed again, just as I lay down, I heard a "creak".The lockers of the closet opened again by some strange coincidence. He glanced back suspiciously, his pupils suddenly dilated, and a chill rose from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.Since the light in the toilet was on, the situation in the house could be seen clearly. I saw a person in the closet who couldn't tell the gender came out from the deep wall.The thing was erratic, and it came from the closet to the bed. Hypocritically, he found that he couldn't move at all, and even the strength to blink disappeared abruptly, as if the muscles in his whole body were pressed by a thousand-ton weight. The human-shaped object was like a dark shadow, and the moonlight shone in through the window, passing through his body without hindrance.It finally stepped on the mattress of the double bed, step by step, just like the feeling of an adult with a normal weight stepping on it, the mattress was crushed and sunk. It came to the edge of the bed, one leg rested softly on the ground, while the other leg was on the bed, pressing hard on the false body.He was so frightened that he closed his eyes forcefully, not daring to open them again.It was heavy, but it felt like a ball of cold water, as if it could melt into the body. Hypocritically and subconsciously, he hugged his body into a ball, desperately resisting to let him enter his body.He, who has no belief in God and Buddha, screamed, and finally kept chanting Amitabha Buddha. Finally, the monster seemed to be tired.It roared angrily, making a sound that didn't resemble a human being. The sound started from being as sharp as fingers scratching glass, then gradually became deeper, and finally the tone became more normal. Hypocrisy seems to be able to hear the monster's pronunciation clearly, it is right next to the ear, the air blows into the ear hole, and the hoarseness is uncomfortable. "Time is up." "Time is up." "Time is up……"
