Chapter 17 Head

Rock climbing is nothing to me. I climbed a lot in the mountains when I was a child, and the height of ten meters is not a problem. Du Xiaosheng and Fang Yuze are very light, and I can pull them up with a rope. So the two men quickly agreed.

What gives me a headache is Zhou Linli. Let alone rock climbing, he can't stand up now. He is bent over, breathing heavily, and can't talk. To be honest, if I were to pull him away, it would be better for me to jump off the cliff and fall to my death.

But if you can't climb up, then there is no other way to go up.

Fang Yuze saw my troubles and suggested: "Why don't you leave a tent and let Mr. Zhou rest here first, and we can go up and do the detection before coming down."

Although this is a good idea, it cannot be implemented. The most taboo thing in the wild mountains is to spend the night alone, especially if you are a non-combatant person, because once night falls, if there is no one to keep watch, something may happen. We only know that there are no wild animals in the mountains, but we don’t know what insects and snakes there are in the mountains. If we encounter another poisonous one, Zhou Linli will be killed instantly.

Before I could refuse, Zhou Linli said first, "Don't worry so much. I can jump, Mr. Zhou, so you don't need to worry. I'll go up with you." After saying that, he rolled up his sleeves and walked up the mountain. The wall is eager to try.

I thought to myself, when did this fat man become so diligent?

No one stopped us, we all wanted to know how Zhou Linli got up. Unexpectedly, he stared at the rock wall for a long time and saw no movement.

Seeing his blushing and embarrassed look, I sighed helplessly, gave him a step down, and said, "Let's go up first, and then use the rope to pull Xiao Du and Xiao Fang. The three of us can definitely bring you down." Go up."

This was the only way at the moment, and all three of them nodded in agreement.

I moved my aching muscles and looked up. There were many wild plants on the rock wall, and I would be scratched if I wasn't careful. However, because there are too many plants, climbing is unavoidable, so I planned a route with more soil and fewer plants, which would make it easier to climb.

The route I took was relatively smooth and there were no obstacles. However, I still underestimated the hardness of the soil. It looked like there were a lot of bumps, but it was actually difficult to climb because most of them were clods of soil instead of stones. It is very likely that the clods would break into sand as soon as I grabbed them.

I suffered such a loss on the way. I grabbed a clod of dirt just after climbing one floor and almost fell down when I lost my balance. Fortunately, I caught another stone in time and didn't make a mistake.

Looking back at Du Xiaosheng and the other three, I thought they would have worries on their faces, but unexpectedly, the expressions of these three people were more exciting than the last, especially Du Xiaosheng, who almost stopped laughing.

I glared at him fiercely, turned my head and continued climbing. This time I climbed very carefully. Although there were still a few thrills, at least I reached the top of the mountain safely.

After climbing up to the top of the mountain, there was another piece of withered yellow grass in front of me, with a few sparse trees. After experiencing the human-insect war at the foot of the mountain, I was completely immune to the bugs. When I saw the grass again, it was not as disgusting as I imagined.

According to the plan, I should put down the rope now and pull Du Xiaosheng and Fang Yuze up. I thought of Du Xiaosheng's evil smile before, and I suddenly wanted to tease them.

The top of the mountain is not large, so you can almost see the panoramic view from one place, so you don’t have to worry about getting lost if you walk too far. Zhou Linli's shout came from below, to the general effect of telling me not to waste time and throw the rope down quickly. I ignored him and left the edge of the mountain.

The wind on the mountain is cooler, especially when the breeze blows...it brings up a lot of sand, which makes it feel disgusting. I quickly closed my mouth to prevent the sand from blowing into my mouth, while looking for the locust tree.

If my guess is correct, the best place for feng shui in this mountain is at the top of the mountain, so the locust tree pointed out by Zhou Linli's father should also be at the top of the mountain.

There were not many things blocking the view around here. I soon found a huge tree beside a large rock protruding from the bottom of the mountain.

The fog on the top of the mountain was not as thick as below. I could clearly see the appearance of the tree from a distance. With its large crown and short trunk, it must be a locust tree.

There are ghosts in the locust tree, and it has always been thought that it is a tree that attracts ghosts. In fact, this is not the case. In northern customs, there is a saying that three generations of Sophora japonica trees are rich. Many people tend to plant three Sophora japonica trees at home, called "Three Sophora japonica trees", which means that their descendants can be among the three nobles. In ancient times, it meant becoming high-ranking officials.

The locust tree is a good place for burial due to its dark atmosphere. Zhou Linli's father probably wanted to be buried under the tree, so he gave us tips on digging soil under the locust tree.

The flashlights are all in Du Xiaosheng's bag. Today the moon is round and bright, shining directly on every corner of the mountain top, allowing me to see clearly.

I got closer and saw that it was indeed a locust tree. It was no different from an ordinary locust tree. It had a huge crown and looked like a big mushroom in the light mist.

There are weeds all around. If you want the Zhou family tomb to be settled here, you have to dig deep underground. I walked under the tree, squatted down, and grabbed a handful of soil in my hand. It was indeed as Zhou Linli's father said, dry and without any moisture.

I have to mention that since I reached the top of the mountain, I suddenly felt uncomfortable. After I touched the soil, the feeling became stronger, but I couldn't tell what it was.

Although I am a cautious person, I am not so cautious that I have to be careful in everything. Moreover, this is a "feeling" and has no reality at all. I simply shook off such unrealistic things as "feelings" and thought it was time to pull Du Xiaosheng and the others up, so I got up and walked back.

The moment I turned around, out of the corner of my eye, I suddenly spotted a dark shadow behind the tree, which looked like a human figure. Why is there anyone here? There is nothing on the top of the mountain except weeds and a few trees. No one would come here. Is someone following us?

I turned around and kicked him first. No matter what it was, it wasn't a good thing. What I didn't expect was that my kick was empty. There was nothing behind the tree.

I frowned, maybe it was an hallucination caused by my extreme exhaustion from running for a long time. I shook my head secretly, feeling dissatisfied with my own suspicion, but I also knew that it was not a good place to stay for a long time, so I immediately walked back to the way I came and never looked back.

The road was not long. Maybe it was because of the environment. I felt a little flustered. I tried to calm myself down and paid careful attention to the movements around me.

Just when I walked a few steps, the feeling of a pair of eyes staring at me came out again. The difference was that this time it was stronger than before. Those eyes were like sharp blades, digging deeply into me. I was stabbed in the back.

That thing seems to be right behind me!

Since the moon is in the east, which is the direction of the locust tree behind me, I can clearly see my shadow cast on the ground. To my sharp horror, at this moment, a round thing was sticking out from the neck.

Even though I have stayed in the mountains for so long, no matter how courageous I am, I still feel a little numb at the moment. From the shadow, you can see that the round thing has hair on it and is shaped like a creature's head!

I felt my thighs shaking. If the creature behind me is really human, then why is he here, neither talking nor walking nor making any sound?

Although I grew up in the mountains, I only dealt with birds and animals. Where had I ever encountered such a thing that was neither human nor ghost?

Even if it's a human being, it's definitely not a good thing to scare me by pretending like this. I felt cruel, no matter what he was, it was not good for me anyway, so I made a fist with my right hand and hit him in the back.

This punch missed again, and my whole body stayed there. I know that my face must be very scary at this moment, my eyes are wide open, and the blood seems to have stopped flowing at that moment, because there is something horrifying in front of me, and there is a bloody heart hanging at the same level as my head. head!

Its expression was very ferocious, its mouth curled up to the corners of its eyes, its empty eyes looked at me blankly, and it looked at me affectionately. Blood spread out from its Heavenly Spirit Cover, staining its entire face red.

At that moment, fear made my mind go blank. After being stunned for two seconds, I remembered one thing - run!

As early as when I met the snake, I realized that I would definitely encounter some trouble when I came out this time, but I didn't expect that it would be such a big trouble, and I would actually run into a ghost!

I ran forward with all my strength, the wind whistling in my ears, and I didn't hear the sound of anything chasing behind me. But this human head walks without making a sound. Who knows if it will stay in place quietly?

I didn't dare to look back, for fear that the thing would keep chasing me. In my desperation, I didn't bother to find the way. I dove into the weeds and tried my best to escape from the locust tree. I don’t know what the hanging head is, and I don’t know if it can run faster than me.

As the saying goes, if a person is unlucky, his teeth will be blocked even if he drinks cold water.

As soon as I thought of this sentence, a human head suddenly appeared in front of my eyes. The corners of his head and mouth were raised, and his grin became even more exciting, as if he had discovered something interesting.

I felt so regretful that I wanted to hit myself on the head. I don’t know if I would have encountered such an unfortunate thing if I hadn’t thought of that sentence just now. There is no use blaming yourself now, you have to find a way to get rid of it as soon as possible. After looking at each other before, I found that the head did not mean to attack me, but seemed to be playing tricks on me, otherwise it would not have attacked me until now.

I originally thought it had been hung up, but there were no signs of being tied up with ropes on its entire head, and there were no thin threads on the top of its head. It's so foggy here that I can't see it if it's a thin black line.

After staring at each other for a long time, I couldn't stand it anymore. The feeling of being stared at by a human head was very weird. I might as well have met a tiger.

Seeing that the head made no movement, I began to plan to retreat.
