Standing beside Zhou Yan, Lu Chenzhao saw that he was engrossed in watching, tilted his head to Zhou Yan's ear and asked, "Does it look familiar?"

"No, it's the first time I've seen you." Zhou Yan felt strange, "Why do you ask that?"

Lu Chenzhao shrugged, and nonsense: "When I saw the way you looked at those trees, I felt that this was not the first time you saw them."

Zhou Yan: "Then your eyes are not very good."

Lu Chenzhao pushed the monocle without lenses on the bridge of his nose: "Yes, that's why I wear glasses."

Zhou Yan looked at the bridge of Lu Chenzhao's nose: "...Did someone smash your glasses before?"

Lu Chenzhao smiled, noncommittal.

Compared with their calmness, the state of those people in the front row is not so good, even Ning Luan began to doubt life: "Old Zhang, that thing moves when the wind blows, it looks like it is alive, how could it be A tree? Isn’t it really something else?”

Old Zhang said with a straight face: "The trees in our village grow like this."

Ning Luan understood what Lao Zhang meant, no matter what it was, in Hongwa Village anyway, it was a tree.

Lao Zhang took out his mobile phone to check the time, waved the flag and urged: "We have to enter the village before eight o'clock, and there is not much time left. You should line up first, and stand one by one. When the line is finished, I will Take you in."

Someone said in fear: "Do you have to go in? This forest is really scary."

"This is the only way to enter Hongwa Village." Lao Zhang said solemnly, "If you drag it on, after eight o'clock, you won't even be able to go this way."

If you don't enter the village, you can't complete this mission.

Everyone quickly made a choice, adjusted their positions and lined up in a column.

The line of two or three slowly lengthened, and Zhou Yan, who was at the end of the line, took a few steps back in coordination, standing almost half a meter away from the previous person.

Lu Chenzhao was originally standing outside the line, but he walked up to behind Zhou Yan and stood up, standing at the end of the line.He is usually not very straight when he is sitting, but when he stands up, he always looks straight, even the long hair hanging behind his back is straight, only the corners of his eyebrows, eyes and mouth are a little loose, which makes him look a little out of order.

Lao Zhang walked to the front of the line with a flashlight, turned his head and told the people standing behind him: "Everyone reach out and grab the clothes of the person in front of him, and follow closely after entering the woods. No matter what you see or hear do not speak."

Lao Zhang immediately said it again: "No matter who it is, once they open their mouths to speak, they can't get out."

The mentality of everyone in the front row collapsed in an instant. The forest looked scary enough. Could there be other scary things in it?The few people closest to Lao Zhang grabbed the clothes of the man in front of them, trying their best to build up their minds.

Lu Chenzhao approached Zhou Yan, picked up the belt hanging from the back of Zhou Yan's coat, tied it into a bow and held it in his hand: "If you can't help but want to scream, nod, I'm here, I won't let you shout .”

Zhou Yan turned his head: "What do you mean?"

Lu Chenzhao smiled, and poked Xia Zhouyan's waist with his index finger through the bow tie belt, "Let's go, they moved."

Zhou Yan lowered his eyes and followed the people in front of him to the woods. The moment he stepped into the woods, the sound of the wind and the rustling of the swaying branches disappeared, leaving only the creaking sound of his feet on the fallen leaves and stumps. , and the rubbing sound of clothes when walking.

In the woods, slender and long trees grew horizontally from the ground, gathered high above the woods, enclosing everyone like a cage.

Probably because they were afraid of seeing something they shouldn't see, most of the people in the team were bent over, lowered their heads, and kept their eyes firmly on the backs of the people in front, not even daring to look at the ground.

Among the fifteen people, the one with the most bent back was Fu Mingze who walked in the middle of the line.He is afraid of the dark, and he is not very courageous. Only by putting his head on the back of the person in front of him and holding on to his clothes can he feel a sense of security and give him the courage to move forward.

"You're gripping so hard you're strangling my neck."

Fu Mingze had heard this voice before, it was Lu Ran who was walking in front of him speaking.

Fu Mingze let go of his hand a little, he wanted to open his mouth to remind Lu Ran not to talk in the forest, but he didn't dare, he could only hold it in his heart.

"There are a lot of rocks on the ground, be careful not to trip over."

It was Lu Ran who was reminding him that his left foot tripped suddenly, Fu Mingze panicked and staggered a few times before he stood still.

"Why don't you look at the road? If I hadn't supported you in front of you, you would have fallen to the ground."

I'm sorry, Fu Mingze said in his heart.

"There are still rocks ahead, be careful, if you fall, you will be in trouble."

If you can see the path under your feet, you won't fall down.

Although he was timid, it was not to the extent that he dared not even look at a few stones.

Fu Mingze closed his eyes and took a deep breath, half-opening his eyes and looking at the ground under his feet.

However, there are no stones on the ground.

What Fu Mingze saw were several bloody human heads.

Every head was staring at him with eyes like blood holes, looking at him in unison, as if he would not stop eating him alive.

"what--"

The scream was stuck in his throat, and Fu Mingze only had time to make a gasp before his neck was pierced by the branch that turned into a human head.

The slender tree pushed his body into the air, hanging high on the top of the cage, a place full of shadows where even light could not penetrate.

A long black shadow suddenly flew past in front of him, Zhou Yan raised his head and looked up, but he couldn't see anything except a large black canopy.

The team continued to move forward, and no one noticed that there was one person missing in the long line.

"Are you almost at Hongwa Village?"

Zhou Yan heard Lu Chenzhao's voice coming from behind.

"Why haven't you arrived yet? Why are you ignoring me?"

Did not hear Zhou Yan's answer, the familiar voice asked again.

"Why don't you ask Lao Zhang for me? I'm too far away from him, he can't hear me."

At first, Zhou Yan thought that Lu Chenzhao wanted to drag him to death, but after listening to three sentences in a row, he felt something was wrong.

Although the voice was the same, the tone of the other party's speech was not quite similar to that of Lu Chenzhao.The voice came from behind him, and as long as he looked back, he would know who was talking to him.

Lao Zhang only said not to speak out, but did not say not to look back.

"I'm really tired from walking..."

Zhou Yan counted the time and turned around before the other party finished speaking.

He saw a bloody head hanging in the air with twisted branches, the mouth opened and closed, and red blood kept dripping down the corner of the mouth, and flowed all over the floor.

"Can you hold me and go?"

Zhou Yan looked around, but did not see Lu Chenzhao.

The strange thing is that while Lu Chenzhao is not here, Zhou Yan can still feel the belt being pulled by Lu Chenzhao.

"I'm very light."

The branch swayed violently, pushing the bloody head in front of Zhou Yan's eyes.

What's the use of being light, ugly and dirty, Zhou Yan took half a step back in disgust, turned his head and left.

The bloody head left in place: "..."

A few minutes later, Lao Zhang led the crowd out of the woods.

Everyone looked exhausted. After walking with their waists bent for so long, several people could hardly stand up straight due to the pain in their backs, so they could only support themselves with their hands behind them.

Lao Zhang circled around with a flashlight: "There is one person missing. He opened his mouth in the woods and made a noise, but he was trapped inside."

Ning Luan looked around and found that Fu Mingze was not here: "Did Fu Mingze really have an accident? The two people walking in front of and behind me have talked, and they are all fine."

Clutching Ning's messy clothes in the woods, Xu Mengmeng followed behind him: "What nonsense are you talking about? You're the one who keeps talking, right? I haven't said a single word since I entered the woods until I came out,"

Zhang Yi, who was wearing black-rimmed glasses, looked at Xu Mengmeng dumbfounded: "Xu Mengmeng, I clearly heard you talking, you said you were very scared, and you dared not leave until I held your hand."

"She didn't speak." Old Zhang said, "Except for Fu Mingze, none of you have opened your mouth in the woods."

Zhang Yi: "But the voice I heard is exactly the same as Xu Mengmeng's."

"No way." After quickly recalling the words he heard, Ning Luan expressed his inner guess with a pale face, "Could it be...someone is pretending to be us and talking to others?"

After hearing Ning Luan's words, everyone's complexion was a bit uneasy, as if they had just realized what was going on, only Zhou Yan and Lu Chenzhao's expressions remained unchanged.

Ning Luan asked them, "Do you know what's going on?"

Zhou Yan: "The sound you heard should be related to the trees in the forest. Those trees are very evil."

Ning Luan asked in surprise, "Are you sure?"

Zhou Yan thought about it: "When I heard Lu Chenzhao's voice, I looked back and saw it."

Ning Luan: "...What did you see? How dare you look back!?"

"Let's go, it's almost eight o'clock. We have to go to the village as soon as possible. If we go late, there will be no place to stay." Lao Zhang interrupted them, holding a flashlight in his right hand, waving the flag in his left hand, and looking into the distance. A ray of light walked away.

The crowd followed closely behind him, and only after getting closer did they see the original appearance of the light.

This is a brick-red two-story bungalow. Above the door is a luminous signboard with white characters on a black background, engraved with the words "Hongwa Village Hotel".

Lao Zhang pushed open the door of the small bungalow, and it was dark inside, except for an old desk lamp with a faint light on the desk at the front desk.

Lao Zhang turned off the flashlight, and walked towards the desk at the front desk: "You will stay at the Hongwa Village Hotel tonight, and I will take you to other places in the village when the sun rises tomorrow."

Ning Luan followed into the door and looked up at the surrounding environment: "There are more than a dozen of us, isn't such a small place enough to live in?"

"Don't worry, we still have a lot of space for you to live in." An old woman with white hair straightened her bent back and poked her head out from the front desk.The left half of her face looks normal, and it can even be said that it is well maintained, but the right half of her face is full of grooves, and the right eye with only the white of the eye is a bit scary at first glance.

The old grandma's white right eye scanned everyone one by one, took out a stack of room cards from the drawer and placed them on the desk at the front desk.

"The quantity is just right. There are six bungalows, each housing two people." She lowered her voice and added, "Remember, each building can only accommodate two people, no more and no less."
