I can still be saved, I am still alive!
Even if what you see is a corpse, shouldn’t you call the police?
Ji Yuan can’t understand what these people are thinking in their brains. What they are doing is tantamount to murder!
Some of the conversations just now were strange. Is it possible that there is something wrong with these people’s minds?
Ji Yuan felt it. This group of people were not joking. They really ignored him. After one of them covered himself and put a wet cloth on his forehead, everyone went their separate ways. .
Zhang Shilin ordered everyone to move the location of the fire to a place closer to the statue of the mountain god, so that the dying beggar could be warmer.
“Pah, pah, pah…”
Sparks kept flying out as the flint struck, and after a few hits, a small piece of tinder was lit.
“It’s on fire, firewood!”
“Coming, coming.”
“Don’t press too hard!!”
Put some finely chopped firewood branches and carefully watch the flames. Soon, the flames will become stronger.
The merchants set up earthen stoves and put on the iron pots they brought with them. Some people also took the bamboo tubes that had previously collected rainwater from the temple gate and poured the clear rainwater into the pots for cooking. Everything was done in an orderly manner.
After completing these tasks, the merchants relaxed temporarily and all sat on the ground to rest.
“Rumble…”
Thunder is rolling in the sky, and the rain is showing signs of increasing.
The merchants who were waiting for the water to boil looked blankly at the heavy rain outside the mountain temple.
“I wonder if this rain will stop before dark?”
Someone sighed worriedly.
“Look at this posture, I won’t be able to stop for a while!”
Another person answered casually and tightened his clothes.
“This spring rain is so cold!”
“Yes! It’s February 8 for a thin cow and a thin horse!”
A group of people gathered around a small fire to keep warm. Their damp clothes were hung on one side on a thin pole from the temple.
The lid of the iron pot gradually became restless as the temperature of the water in the pot continued to rise. Soon after, it began to shake “ping ping ping ping pong”.
“The water is boiling!”
Liu Quan said with a smile, and then took out a wooden ladle from the basket, while other merchants took out their own wooden bowls or bamboo tubes.
Liu Quan took the trouble to take the wooden bowls and bamboo tubes one by one, filled the boiling water with wooden ladles, and returned them to others one by one.
A young man opened a basket and pulled out a cloth bag, which was full of dry food such as colorful pancakes. He held the bag and distributed it to each person one by one.
“Here.” “Here, take it!”
“Brother Zhao, the steamed buns you like!”
“Thank you!”
Every time the young people got one, some patted him on the arm and some said thank you, and soon they were in front of Zhang Shilin.
“Brother Shilin! There are also steamed buns and pancakes, what do you want?”
Zhang Shilin glanced at the cloth bag.
“Give me the cake!”
“Okay!”
The young man took out a dry biscuit and handed it to Zhang Shilin. The latter took it and nodded. Then he put the bag back into the basket, took a steamed bun and sat in his original position.
Someone was already blowing on the water in the wooden bowl, and they started to eat dry food with the slightly cold boiled water.
During this process, Ji Yuan could hear the crackling of firewood, the bubbles of boiling water and the sound of pot lids, the sound of ladles of water, and the chatter of these people.
I thought to myself, it’s so **** real, these people actually started eating one by one, and they really didn’t care about his fate!
“Shilin, when I was in Shuixian Town, I heard people say that Niokui Mountain has been unstable in recent years. No one stays on the mountain at night. If it keeps raining, don’t we have to stay in the mountain at night?”
The speaker was a middle-aged man named Jin Shunfu who was chewing dry biscuits. His face was full of interlaced wrinkles and ravines.
Zhang Shilin also looked at the rain curtain outside.
“It shouldn’t be a big problem if you be careful at night, and…”
He looked at where Ji Yuan was lying.
“This beggar should have been here a long time ago. He is fine. What are we afraid of with so many people? A big insect can scare it away!”
The young people who were sharing the dry food trembled when they heard this and choked on the water.
“Cough cough cough… cough cough cough cough… Oh Brother Shilin, cough, don’t scare me!!! Are there really big insects on Niokui Mountain?”
“Hahahahaha…” “This kid…hahaha”
“Xiaodong, you need to practice your courage, hahaha…”
Everyone on the side laughed because of this incident. This young man has only joined the team for less than two months, but he is a very energetic and diligent young man. In addition, everyone is familiar with him from the same hometown, and they are very fond of him. take care of.
Zhang Shilin smiled and looked at Wang Dong.
“Xiaodong, this Niokui mountain peak has many forests and deep forests. It really covers a radius of two hundred miles. It is normal for there to be a few big insects, but the road we chose is on the outside, so it is relatively safe. ”
Is it really Niokuishan, not Niutoushan? Big bug? Narcissus Town?
Ji Yuan on the side is getting more and more confused. How did he get from Niutou Mountain to Niokui Mountain? Does the big insect refer to the tiger? The name Narcissus Town is second to none. After all, China is so vast that it cannot be fully understood.
The merchants were chatting and laughing beside the fire. Zhang Shilin noticed that Jin Shunfu was still frowning, so he leaned over and asked in a low voice.
“Old Jin, what’s wrong? What exactly did you hear in Narcissus Town?”
Jin Shunfu swallowed the dry biscuit in his mouth with a sip of hot water, looked left and right, and answered Zhang Shilin in the same low voice.
“Shilin, I heard some people in Narcissus Town say that there may be monsters in Niu Kui Mountain…”
For some reason, Zhang Shilin got goosebumps when he heard these words.
“I took it as a joke at the time and didn’t pay much attention to it. Niu Kuishan and we only went there twice last year to find Shuyuanｗｗｗ.zhaosｈhuyuan.comｍ for anything, but now I suddenly feel a little inexplicable. Shilin, don’t laugh. Me…”
The sentence Jin Shunfu added was not only an explanation, but also a way to comfort himself.
“Don’t scare yourself, have a good rest!”
Zhang Shilin patted Jin Shunfu on the arm. They had a small private rule when going out. No matter day or night, they must not pat anyone on the shoulder.
However, there was actually one person in the temple who also had goosebumps, and that was Ji Yuan, who was half a vegetable.
What these people said definitely didn’t sound like they were joking, and they definitely weren’t acting. To be honest, if it was really acting, Ji Yuan was confident that he could hear the noises of the venue and shooting equipment. He was pretty sure that besides I am just the twelve people.
The sound of footsteps gradually approaching brought Ji Yuan back from his thoughts.
Zhang Shilin carried a wooden bowl and walked to the beggar behind the statue. He touched his forehead. It was still hot, and his breath was so weak that he seemed to have no breath. He looked at the beggar carefully. Although his face was dirty, there was no trace of it. What abscesses and rotten spots.
After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Shilin reached out and used his wrist to lift Ji Yuan’s head up a little, holding the wooden bowl towards Ji Yuan’s chapped lips.
“There’s not much we can do, let’s drink…”
Hot water with a suitable temperature leaked out from the corner of Ji Yuan’s mouth, but a lot of it was poured into his mouth, and his throat reflexively swallowed it into his stomach.
The nectar came to moisten the inner body, and Ji Yuan suddenly felt much better.
Ji Yuan recognized this voice as “Brother Shilin”, “Shilin” and “Zhang Tou” among those people. In other words, his name was Zhang Shilin.
Obviously this person does not seem to be mentally ill, and the same goes for everyone else. An extremely strong guess is growing in his heart.
Did I really travel through time?
