The Haunted

It was dark in the distance, and the edge could not be seen, only an unknown dim yellow light lit up near him.This light did not ease the horror and depression of the surrounding environment at all, but magnified the weirdness in the scene - under the reflection of the light, countless black shadows appeared on the left and right walls. After that, there is only a blurred shadow.They squeezed, approaching his shadow reflected on the ground little by little...

Chi Yan whimpered, struggled to wake up from the dream, and saw the familiar ceiling before he regained his composure, and recklessly squeezed towards the sleeping man beside him.

The man subconsciously stretched out his arms to hug him: "Are you having a nightmare again?" Before, it was obvious that the person in his arms was too hot and he didn't want him to hug him, but he hid again when he got scared.

Confused, but still couldn't help feeling distressed, and said in a softer voice: "Don't be afraid, it's all fake, I'm here."

Chi Yan gave a shallow "Yes", and hugged him even tighter, not letting go.

He didn't dare to tell his lover that what he dreamed was not a simple dream, it was something he had personally experienced, a nightmarish memory.

That was a few years ago, when Chi Yan had just graduated from high school.

He waited anxiously at home for the results of the college entrance examination. When his cousin Wang Sheng came home from vacation and saw him restless, he proposed to take him out for a walk to relax, so that he would not be bored at home and worry about it every day.When Chi Yan's parents heard about it, they were very supportive and encouraged him to go out with his cousin.

Wang Sheng is the son of Aunt Chi Yan, and in fact he is only three years older than Chi Yan. He was supposed to be promoted to a senior year when he was a junior. His major was related to geography and geology. In the summer vacation of his junior year, the school asked them to form a team to do a For field practice, you have to write a report and have to show it after returning from school.Wang Sheng formed a team of four with his girlfriend Liu Yu and two classmates Cheng Tao and Li Fengkai.

It is practice, but the time and place are chosen by oneself, and it is not much different from going out for fun. It is enough to submit a planning proposal to the department in advance, so Wang Sheng discussed with the other three people, hoping to bring on his cousin.Anyway, Chi Yan is no longer young, and can take care of basic life by himself.Although Liu Yu is Wang Sheng's girlfriend, she is a girl after all, and she needs to live in a single room when she is away from home, and Chi Yan can share a room with Wang Sheng.

Chi Yan was about the same age as them, and the other three agreed after hearing about it.

Wang Sheng and others chose to go to Gui Province, which has a relatively unique topography and landforms, for practice. There are various hills, basins, and canyons in this area, and there are various types of karst landforms. Many famous scenic spots themselves are unique geographical scenery. It is undoubtedly a good place to practice.

A few young people spent ten days in Guangxi Province, visited the more famous scenic spots, and collected enough materials for writing reports. On the train back to the provincial capital, they met a middle-aged man.

That kind of old-fashioned green leather train has two rows of seats on both sides of a small table, which can seat six people. The man happened to sit with five of them, at the most window position, and chatted with them naturally.After learning that Wang Sheng and the others were all studying geography, the man was very surprised. He said that he is also doing geological research and is now working in the capital of Guangxi Province. Knowing that they are here for field practice, he warmly recommended his hometown to them. , Let them search for a place called Hongtu Village, saying that there are many undeveloped and little-known canyon caves nearby, the scenery is more beautiful than many scenic spots, and it is also more valuable for research.

Hearing what the man said, Wang Sheng and the others were all moved.Wang Sheng and Liu Yu wanted to see the pure natural scenery, but Li Fengkai had more practical considerations. He heard that the results of this practical report would affect the graduate school. He wanted to stay in the school and continue his postgraduate study. I want to make the practice results better.He had always felt that the material they got was a little dull, and he was not reconciled, so after hearing about it, he especially encouraged his teammates to go to this Hongtu Village to take a look, anyway, it would only take three or four days at most.They had a relatively early holiday this time because of the summer practice, and there were still nearly two months left before leaving school, so it was not bad for a few days.

In this way, after the five people got off the train, they found the location of Hongtu Village by searching the Internet and making inquiries along the way.

In the only inn in the village, they met a young man who claimed to be Liushun. Liushun told them that the roads around here were difficult to navigate and the direction was not easy to find. He could be their guide and take them to places they wanted to go. In places with special landforms and geology, it only costs 100 yuan a day.

100 yuan is not too much, and the average amount is [-] yuan per person. It is true that a local guide can save a lot of trouble. Wang Sheng and the others agreed after thinking about it.Chi Yan was the youngest at the time, and was told by his parents to be good with his cousin, so he didn't make up his mind, and just followed Wang Sheng like a little follower.

The five of them rested overnight in the hotel, and at eight o'clock the next morning Liu Shun called them to set off into the mountains.The mountains here are not too high, but there are many deep and secluded canyons. Liu Shun led them into a canyon. After walking for a long time, Li Fengkai and the others found a lot of valuable materials. They stopped and stopped along the way. Picking up and patting, I was very excited, and felt that this time I came to the right place.At nearly three o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Shun took them to the entrance of a cave, said that the scenery inside was more special, and asked them if they wanted to go in.

The five young people were actually very tired, and it was getting late, and it would take six or seven o'clock to return to the village on the way back.But they were tempted by the scenery in the cave described by Liushun, thinking that if they missed it this time, they would definitely not have the chance to go in and see it again.

Cheng Tao asked Liushun if the cave was big, and Liushun said it wasn't big, and he could go in and have a look before coming out.So Cheng Tao and the others said to go in and take a look, and come out after half an hour at most, so that the return journey will not be too dark and will not delay the return to the village.

The inside of the cave was very dark, Cheng Tao and Wang Sheng turned on the flashlights, but what they didn't expect was that as soon as they entered, a big rock fell from outside the cave entrance, blocking the cave entrance.

Cheng Tao shouted: "Liu Shun, what should we do? How can we get out?"

But no one responded.Under the light of the flashlight, only five young people looked at each other.

It was only after a while that Li Fengkai broke the silence: "...he seemed to be at the back just now and didn't follow in."

When entering the canyon, all mobile phones have no signal, and it is impossible to ask for help at this time.There were many bad ideas in everyone's mind, but no one said it out.The five of them also tried to push away the stone blocking the entrance of the cave, but it was useless.

Cheng Tao walked to the side with a flashlight to observe the surrounding environment, and suddenly pointed at the underground road with a beam of light: "There is water here, there should be an underground river, and you can feel the flow of air and wind. There must be more than this one here." The entrance of the cave, this canyon area is not too big, and the cave should not be too long, we should be able to find the exit by following the water and the wind."

Standing at the blocked hole and continuing to push and shout was useless. Everyone accepted Cheng Tao's suggestion and continued walking along the hole.

The cave was very gloomy and cold. Chi Yan put on a thin coat, but he still felt the chill penetrate into his bones, so he couldn't help but hugged his arms tightly.And I don't know if it's an illusion, but he always feels that there are many pairs of eyes looking at him, but there are only five of them around.

After walking for more than an hour, all five of them felt even more tired, and the most tiring thing was the psychological torment. They had no idea how long and how long they had to go.Several people's mobile phones also only had a small amount of battery power left. In order to keep the light on, they turned off their mobile phones and flashlights, and only let Wang Sheng hold Chi Yan's mobile phone in front of the light.

Suddenly, the surroundings were completely plunged into darkness.Chi Yan's cell phone turned off automatically when it ran out of battery.

Wang Sheng hurriedly turned on his mobile phone and took a picture of the surrounding area. All five people were there. There was a pool of unknown depth on the right side of the cave, and there was a fork in the road ahead.

Wang Sheng felt the direction of the wind, and was a little unsure which way to go. Standing beside him, Cheng Tao silently raised his finger and pointed to the left.The five of them walked to the left under the leadership of Wang Sheng, with Chi Yan and Li Fengkai at the rear.

Chi Yan was originally walking last, but Li Fengkai suddenly walked two steps behind him deliberately, and said in a low voice, "Xiao Chi, brother asked you something, did you pay attention to your brother Cheng just now?"

Chi Yan shook his head.

Li Fengkai muttered as if talking to himself: "But I seemed to hear the sound of something falling into the water just now. When your brother turned on the phone again, I happened to see Cheng Tao crawling out of the water and smiling at me For a moment. But he didn't say anything, and his clothes weren't wet... Could it be that I read it wrong..."

Chi Yan's heart skipped a beat, but he forced a smile and said, "Brother Li, don't scare people, those stories about gods and ghosts are made up to scare people, you must have read it wrong."

Li Fengkai himself wasn't sure, so he walked silently after that, without saying a word.

Not long after that, there was only a loud sound of falling into the water. Accompanied by the woman's exclamation, Li Fengkai quickly turned on the flashlight in his hand, and together with Wang Sheng, shone toward the source of the sound.

I saw "Cheng Tao" soaked in the water, with only one head sticking out of the water, smiling at them, dragging Liu Yu into a pool next to him, most of Liu Yu's body had been dragged underwater by "he".

Wang Sheng hurriedly threw his bag over to hit "Cheng Tao" and reached out to pull Liu Yu at the same time, but his strength was no match for the force that dragged Liu Yu down, and even he was pulled so that he was about to fall into the pool .Chi Yan and Li Fengkai also went to help, but it didn't help.

At this time, many snow-white arms stretched out from the pool, reaching out enough for the three of them, trying to drag them into the water.Liu Yu had only one head sticking out of the water. Seeing this, he cried out, "Wang Sheng, hurry up, run away, this place is too evil, leave me alone, leave me alone, you must run out."

Li Fengkai gritted his teeth and let go first, while Chi Yan and Wang Sheng were about to be reached by those wet white arms.

But at this moment, those arms stopped suddenly, and the cave seemed to come alive. Countless small but piercing whispers sounded layer upon layer from the inside to the outside, and those voices repeated the sentence The words, including "Cheng Tao" with only one head exposed, also squirmed his lips, showing a humanized fear on his face.

The voices were chanting the same syllable: "He's going to wake up... He's going to wake up..."

Taking advantage of this pause, Chi Yan pulled his cousin out of the range of those white arms, but Liu Yu was also completely dragged into the water.

Wang Sheng was still staring at the water in a daze, those arms moved again, stretched out longer enough to reach the two of them, Li Fengkai yelled "Run!" and ran forward first, Chi Yan also reacted, and hurriedly dragged Wang Sheng stumbling along he ran.

After running for a certain distance, Li Fengkai, who was at the front, suddenly stopped and looked up at the two of them: "Do you think we can still run?"

There was deep despair in his eyes: "I remember that thing showed us the way just now."
