ghost

Ding Ming took the people on the upper mountain road, and the archaeological team was on the side of the mountain stream below, separated by a slope with a height of two or three meters.The slope was overgrown with weeds. Fortunately, Ding Ming's sharp eyes detected the movement below and stopped in time.

However, before Ding Ming could turn around and say something, Chu Ji, who was following closely behind him, had already stepped out of the mountain path and slid down the slope.

"Hey!" Ding Ming wanted to say that this is very dangerous, but when he saw that Chu Ji was already descending the slope, regardless of his body covered in mud and grass, he almost rolled and crawled towards the person covered with white cloth. .

Ding Ming closed his mouth.

Chu Ji, who has nothing to do with the mystical circle, participated in this search and rescue because he was a person who was trapped in the mountains with the archaeological team.With Chu Ji's status, he would venture into the mountains himself, so that person must be very important to him.And seeing him running towards the person covered in white cloth in such a panic, that should be the person he had to go into the mountain to find anyway.

Are they... late?

Fang Xia also slid down the slope, followed closely by Fu Jin.Then there are a few capable bodyguards, and young people from the Geng family.

They went down, but they didn't dare to get close to where Chu Ji was.

Chu Ji knelt beside the cushion made of two sleeping bags, looking at Geng Shudan who was lying on the white cloth covering his body, he felt that his eyes were turning black.He didn't dare to reach out and touch it, he didn't want to admit it was true...

"Shu Dan..." Chu Ji called out mournfully, tears falling down uncontrollably.

For so many years, no matter what he encountered, he never shed a single tear. It was the cry of a cowardly man, and he should have been tempered to steel, so he shouldn't have such useless weakness, but only this person... only for this person...

Tears fell on Geng Shudan's forehead, the eyeballs of the closed eyelids moved, and then slowly opened them.

Geng Shudan looked blankly at the crying man on the top, he felt that he probably wasn't awake, otherwise how could he see Chu Ji crying?In his memory, Chu Ji seemed to have shed tears in kindergarten, and was bullied by him to cry.After growing up, this person always had a cold and hard expression all day long, and I never saw him shed tears again, and scaring others to cry happened from time to time.

Geng Shudan blinked, and then he saw that Chu Ji stopped crying, and stared at him in surprise with those too sharp eyes, with a teardrop hanging from the corner of his eye.Geng Shudan frowned, and couldn't help but raised his hand, wanting to wipe away the tears from the corners of this man's eyes, but he didn't want his hands to be raised, when the other party eagerly grasped them with both hands, the familiar, slightly hot palms were pulled His heart throbbed.

"You didn't..." Chu Ji lowered his eyes, swallowed the ominous word back, and looked at Geng Shudan almost greedily with dark eyes.

Geng Shudan felt uncomfortable being watched by him, turned his eyes to the side, and then saw Fang Xia.

"Fang Xia?"

Geng Shudan's voice was as dry as he hadn't spoken for a long time, but Fang Xia, who was standing behind Chu Ji, breathed a sigh of relief when he heard his voice - Geng Shudan was still alive.Then, he turned his head to look at the archaeological team who caused them a false alarm.

"Why are you covering people with white cloth?" Fang Xia pointed at the white cloth on Geng Shudan's body and asked bitterly.If you have a heart attack or something, you can be scared to stop on the spot!

When Chu Ji heard this, he also looked back at the archaeological team.

From when Chu Ji led the way down the slope to when Geng Shudan spoke, it took only half a minute, and the archaeological team hadn't fully reacted yet.Upon hearing Fang Xia's question, they all turned their heads to look at the white-haired old man sitting on the boulder by the stream—this old man was Professor Zheng, the leader of the archaeological team.

Professor Zheng glanced at his few incompetent students, and explained, "He has a wound on his body. We were afraid that insects and ants would crawl on him and cause wound infection, so we smoked the gauze with insect repellent grass and covered him. It is windproof and insect-proof. You can’t let people lie in a sleeping bag all the time, can you? It’s cool on the mountain, but it’s summer now, so it’s okay to keep the wound stuffy!”

Chu Ji lifted the white cloth covering Geng Shudan's body, and it turned out to be a piece of gauze with several layers of gauze, with a faint smell of grass on it.And Geng Shudan, who was lying on the sleeping bag below, had small wounds all over his arms and legs that were not covered by clothes, in different shades, and most of them were scarred.What distressed Chu Ji the most was that Geng Shudan's right leg was fixed by a flattened tree branch and wrapped in gauze. It was obviously broken.

Geng Shudan took back the gauze and covered himself, preventing Chu Ji from seeing it.

Fang Xia looked away, glanced at Professor Zheng, and muttered unconvinced: "That can't be done with white cloth either! It looks like..."

"The gauze we have is the cleanest. How can we choose? Besides, the gauze dries quickly and is breathable, which is very easy to use." After Professor Zheng finished speaking, he snorted again, "What do you want to say? Does it look like a person is dead? If a person is dead, you have to cover your face!"

"It's almost time to go, I'm in a hurry!" Ding Ming shouted from above.

The bodyguards who followed hurriedly started to help the archaeological team pack their things, taking what was necessary and leaving everything that was not necessary.

Chu Ji supported Geng Shudan to sit up, and then squatted down with his back facing him.

"Come up." Chu Ji turned to Geng Shudan and said.

Chu Ji opened his hands behind his back, and the muscles on his back were faintly raised, full of explosive power and a sense of security, but Geng Shudan looked at him and frowned.

"Your legs are inconvenient, so I'll walk with you behind my back. What? Afraid I'll do something to you?"

Geng Shudan finally moved. He put his arms around Chu Ji's neck and lay on Chu Ji's broad back.Chu Ji supported his hips with both hands, and stood up with his back behind his back.After the person's back was stabilized, Chu Ji ran his hand along the person's buttocks and touched up.

"You...!" Geng Shudan patted Chu Ji's shoulder angrily.

Chu Ji laughed softly, "Collect some interest first."

The members of the archaeological team looked mentally weak, but their physical condition was obviously much better than that of the Geng family's rescue team before.Except for the fact that Professor Zheng was a little old and physically weak, so he found a bodyguard to carry him on his back. The five students brought by Professor Zheng were all young and strong boys, and none of them lost their ability to move.

Fang Xia thought it was amazing, the archaeological team had been trapped in the mountains for almost four days, and the rescue team of the Geng family had only been trapped for two days, how could the people of the archaeological team be so energetic—compared to the weak Geng family rescue team , They are indeed too energetic.

Fang Xia followed Professor Zheng, listening to him talk about the events of these days one after another.

The archaeological burial site was haunted by ghosts. Professor Zheng found Geng Shudan and brought a few students who were not scared away into the mountain.At that time, considering that exorcising ghosts might take a lot of time, I brought two days of dry food.

When Geng Shudan arrived at the cemetery, he found the ghost haunting the cemetery that evening.Whether it is the owner of the tomb is not sure, but it is an evil spirit, and accidentally let him get on the body of an archaeologist.The upper body archaeologist ran up the mountain crazily, and Geng Shudan immediately chased after him.In the end, he successfully expelled the evil spirit from the archaeologist, but he accidentally fell down the hillside.Unfortunately, the slope is not muddy land, and there are many rocks out of the ground.Geng Shudan fell with bruises all over his body and broke his calf.

Later, the members of the archaeological team originally planned to go out with Geng Shudan on their backs, but found that they couldn't get out anyway. Geng Shudan naturally discovered that they had entered a maze.It is obviously not a normal situation that mazes will appear in the wilderness like Yanhui Mountain.Geng Shudan was injured, and beside him was an archaeological team who didn't know magic arts, so he immediately decided to call for rescue.

After calling for rescue, Professor Zheng first took the people back to the tomb—the camp they had set up when they first came here, and took away all the food and medicine, and then looked for a place near the water source—that is, the mountain stream where they were found today waiting for rescue.

The situation in the mountain is very strange, no birds or insects can be heard, like a dead mountain, the archaeological team almost thought that all the animals on this mountain disappeared.

"Facts have proved that the animals did not disappear, but hid themselves so that no one could find them," said Professor Zheng.

"How did you find out?" Fang Xia couldn't help asking.

After walking for a long time, they found that the eggs in the bird's nest were warm, so they realized that the animals in the forest were hibernating.

"When I woke up, I was bitten by two mosquitoes on my face. Can I not find it?" Professor Zheng said, "Anyway, I can't find any animals during the day, but I can find some at night. At night, we can find pheasants and so on. I didn’t dare to catch them, because I was afraid that I would not be able to come back after running far away, so I could only catch some fish in the stream, and then add the dry food we brought and the food in the camp, and we barely made do for a few days. After two days, we're afraid we won't be able to."

Fang Xia thought of the few fish that were kept in grass cages and kept in the stream before they left the mountain stream. It was probably the dinner of the archaeological team.He felt that if it was a few days later, the archaeological team would be able to hold on. These people with the banner of high intellectuals were obviously more capable of surviving in the wild than the Geng family.

Fang Xia and his party went directly to the Geng family rescue team who had stayed where they were before, planning to join them and leave Yanyan to return to the mountain.

However, things didn't go so smoothly.

Ding Ming and Xu Meng cooperated and played back and forth with the manipulator of the Yanhuishan Fengshui Bureau. They didn't let the group of people be trapped by the Fengshui Bureau, but they didn't want a surprising obstacle to appear halfway.

In the evening, the sky became more and more gloomy, and the dense forest and trees looked dark, as if there were shadows hiding something.Ding Ming and Xu Meng chanted silently, constantly changing invisible things, and the uninvited guest suddenly appeared when they were concentrating on chanting.

Sensing the sudden appearance of a strange evil spirit, Fang Xia turned his head and saw a black figure appearing behind Ding Ming, his pupils suddenly constricted.

"Ding Ming!" Fang Xia turned around and rushed towards Ding Ming.

Fu Jin turned into a phantom, passed Fang Xia, and appeared behind Ding Ming in the blink of an eye, catching the black shadow that came out of the ground and was about to attack Ding Ming.

Fang Xia ran to Ding Ming's side, and the black shadow that Fu Jin grabbed had already dissipated in the blue smoke of the painting in his hand.

"It's a ghost." Fu Jin said to Fang Xia.

"And it's not just one or two." Fang Xia looked around, put his hands in his pockets, and clasped the copper coins, "It's the rhythm of thousands of troops."
