Yunding Ranch

Chapter 383 Adventure Park
Looking at the pasture in front of her, Diana was a little nervous, and couldn't help but move closer to Rachel.

Rachel turned her head and patted the back of Diana's hand comfortingly. In fact, she was still a little nervous because the gloomy scene in front of her was really scary.

Along the direction of the main road, there are three villas. The first one is pitch-black, with no light at all, and the situation inside is completely unclear; the second one is shrouded in a faint blue light. You can clearly see the mottled spider webs, dilapidated rotten boards, messy weeds, and dirty pools. It looks like a haunted house that has been abandoned for half a century.

The third one is a little farther away, and it is also a normal-looking house. The creamy yellow lights in the room are everywhere, filling the whole room to the brim.In the dense night, this bright light is like a lighthouse, guiding the way ahead.

However, white curtains were hung on all the windows, blocking all sightlines, and people could be seen swaying inside, coming and going, as if they were queuing up in celebration.The originally ordinary scene has become weird and unpredictable because of the projection.

Just a face-to-face meeting, this ranch gave everyone a big blow.

Recently, there have been rumors in the town that Yunding Ranch, the Yunding Ranch taken over by foreigners, will turn the ranch into an adventure park on Halloween, and everyone is welcome to explore, no matter adults or children , all raised their hands in welcome.

After Rachel heard about it, she was skeptical until Melanie from "House of Clowns" gave her the affirmation, and then she believed it. As the days approached, there were more and more rumors and expectations. high.But even so, when she saw it with her own eyes today, Rachel was still taken aback: This is simply more exciting than Universal Studios or Disneyland.

Standing next to them are two other companions, Francis and Sean. They are neighbors next door and the same age. They are both 11 years old this year. The four of them have known each other since they were young, and they made an appointment to explore together today.

Rachel turned her head and looked over, Francis and Sean both looked shocked.

More surprise than fear—in remote places like New Braunfels, not to mention theme parks, even a formal haunted house can’t be found, and their playground is nature.

Now suddenly seeing such a realistic playground, although compared with Disneyland, there is no comparison, but the excitement and excitement in their hearts is indescribable. This is a paradise in New Braunfels, and it takes only 15 minutes to drive. The distance is only a few minutes; moreover, they are about to go in and explore next, just thinking about it feels... scary.

Rachel couldn't help shivering. After the momentary excitement and excitement, she began to feel scary.In fact, there is no special decoration, I don't know if it is a psychological effect, or the atmosphere of Halloween, I always feel that this place is like a deserted haunted castle-haunted ranch.

"Rachel, are you all right?"

A mother's worried voice came from behind.They don’t know how to drive, and it’s not like the town around here, every household is celebrating Halloween, and they are connected together, they can rely on their feet, so in the end it was Rachel’s mother and Francis’ mother who were responsible for driving, in order to give There is enough space for the children, the two of them parked the car, and did not plan to go in, but waited for them to return in the car.

Rachel looked at Francis and Sean, and the two friends seemed to be unable to react.

Sensing Rachel's sight, Francis straightened his chest, "Don't worry, leave it to us! Let's go in together, and we can definitely reach the end."

Hearing Francis' voice, Sean also reacted, jumping on the spot excitedly, "Hurry up, let's go in quickly, I can't wait."

Francis turned around and waved to the two worried mothers behind to show that they were all right, and then Rachel turned her head and said loudly, "We're going in."

Diana raised the small bag in her hand. They have visited many families tonight and harvested half a bag of candy. The reason why they came to Yunding Ranch was not so much for the candy, but rather for the adventure park.But at this moment, the only thing that can give her a sense of security is this bag of candies.

The four of them walked to the entrance of the ranch. It was very conspicuous. There was a large pile of pumpkin lanterns piled up like a hill. There were at least thirty or forty pumpkins with all kinds of weird expressions, which looked like fairy tales. The story turns out to be true.Next to the jack-o'-lantern is a scarecrow whose torn body looks a bit like Frankenstein—or Quasimodo the Notre Dame?

There was a sign hanging around the scarecrow's neck, and there was a warm milky yellow light beside it. Francis stepped forward and read aloud, "Welcome to Gentleland. If it's just for trick-or-treating, Then you can grab a handful of candies in the jack-o-lantern next to you, turn around and leave, wishing a happy Halloween!"

When Francis read this, he paused for a moment, turned his head to look at the pumpkin lanterns next to him, and then Sean cheered, "Wow, there are a lot of candies here! Those pumpkins without lights are full of candies, look Looks like a hidden treasure in 'Pirates of the Caribbean' lol."

All four of them laughed at Sean's disruption, and they were already full of expectations just at the entrance.

Francis went on to read, "...But if you are here to take risks and explore the unknown, then you are welcome to enter the gate. However, there are two points to note. First, you need to pay an admission ticket to enter the gate. The price is your candy, please Grab a handful of your own candy and put it in the jack-o-lantern; second, please pay attention to the hints around you at all times, hide in different corners, and look forward to surprises.”

"Surprise?" Diana also became curious at this time, and interjected to ask, "What surprise?"

"Since it's an adventure, there must be surprises. Look at Captain Jack Sparrow. During the adventure, he experienced countless surprises before he was able to find the treasure." Sean had already started dancing, waving his hands. The "Long Knife" - this is a prop knife, and he is dressed up today as Captain Jack Spyro, the great pirate in "Pirates of the Caribbean".

Francis was relatively calm, but at this moment he couldn't help but began to rub his hands together, "What do you think? Are you ready to go in?" Francis still did not forget to look at the two girls and cast a questioning gaze.

Rachel made up her mind, so she looked at the timid Diana.

Diana swallowed a mouthful of saliva, clenched her fists, and said courageously, "Let's go in and explore together!" Today Diana is dressed as Princess Elsa in "Frozen", with long golden hair It turned into a braid and drooped on the left shoulder. It did look somewhat similar to Princess Elsa.

So, everyone stepped forward, took out some candies from their pockets, put them in the jack-o-lantern, and walked into the gate of the ranch. Two boys led the way, and two girls followed closely behind. back.

There are still lights in the passage, and there are all kinds of jack-o-lanterns on both sides, but the distance is relatively far away, about ten steps for adults, and fifteen to twenty steps for children, so the eyesight is opposite. It's rather dim, so I can't see it very clearly.

The passage is open-air, not made into a secret room, but there is a flower shelf above the head, and some vines hang down from it. It is not clear what kind of plant it is, and it casts a faint reflection; it looks like nothing at first, but when you look closer, the wooden shelf There was a palm-sized spider tied to it, which shocked Francis immediately.

Not only that, but there are thorns, wires and cobwebs entwined on it, and old and rotten wooden boards are nailed; occasionally there are some torn banners hung on the wooden thorns, with incomprehensible symbols drawn on the banners, a bit like witchcraft. The incantation... the eerie atmosphere made her walk cautiously.

"Hint, where is the hint?" Sean was bold, and walked forward with his head held high, constantly looking up and down, looking for the hint curiously, "He didn't say, how far will the hint go? Do we want us to directly Go to the gate?"

"It must be hidden." Rachel said her thoughts, "Didn't he say that it is hidden in different corners? If everyone can find it, there will be no surprises."

While talking, there was a burst of screaming, which startled the four of them, before they had time to react, they saw someone running out of it.

It was a group of boys, about four or five of them, who looked like they were two years older than them. Since they were in the dark and the light was not bright, they couldn't see very clearly.At this time, white spider webs were wrapped around their heads, and all kinds of fluorescent paints were sprayed on their bodies, shining in the night. They kept waving their hands on their heads, screaming in horror, without looking back. rushed out.

Those few people didn't notice the group of them at all, or they noticed, they didn't have time to pay attention to them at all, they passed by with a roar, and ran out in a blink of an eye.

The four of them exchanged glances, and Sean jumped up excitedly, yelling, "Let's go, let's go, the front must be very exciting." After saying that, he ran forward.

Rachel quickly shouted, "Sean, don't miss the reminder."

Having no time to be afraid, Diana pulled Rachel's right hand, "Look, Rachel, is that a hint?"

Francis called to Sean, then looked over Diana's hand, and saw a fluorescent yellow wooden board on the wooden fence, which was very conspicuous in the dark, although it was covered with a layer of spider webs, but after careful search If it is, it can still be found, and it will not be too difficult.

The four people approached, and then saw that it said, "1+2+3+4=?" It was actually an arithmetic problem?Below it reads, "Please choose an answer in the jack-o-lantern below, and take out the hint inside."

Sure enough, there were four jack-o-lanterns crookedly placed underneath, but they were all small pumpkins, the size of a palm, and they were not lit. If you don't pay attention, you will really ignore them.
