Urban Oddities: Strange Tales of Mountain Villages

Chapter 24 Escape 3

The big yellow dog's eyes were like obsidian, looking at Lin Yang brightly.Lin Yang waved his hand at it, and then waved his fist again, meaning that if he comes again, he will hit you.The big yellow dog probably didn't understand, he tilted his head and wagged his tail.Lin Yang threw a small stone at it, startling it.When Lin Yang walked a few steps and looked back, the big yellow dog had disappeared.

Halfway up the mountain, Huang Dafa couldn't walk anymore and said he wanted to take a rest.Teacher Chen took Yang Chunhua and carried her on his back with the help of Huang Dafa.Huang Dafa said: "Teacher, if you are tired, you must say it!" Teacher Chen said it was okay, and he could recite two more.Teacher Chen is strong and strong, and he rushed forward with Yang Chunhua on his back... The wound was torn, the bandage was red, and it stained the proprietress's clothes.Huang Dafa was even more reluctant to let him recite it.Luo Yi took over and said that he would recite it.Huang Dafa helped Teacher Chen put down Yang Chunhua, when a dog barked.Wang Jingxiang was particularly afraid of the barking of dogs, so she jumped up.Lin Yang looked back, and the big yellow dog was following up again, barking at them non-stop.Lin Yang chased it away, but the big yellow dog didn't want to go, and barked baredly.It barked so fiercely that Lin Yang had the illusion that it would rush up and bite them.Huang Dafa's firewood went out, and he handed it to Lin Yang to use as a dog stick.Holding a fire in one hand and a stick in the other, Lin Yang walked aggressively towards the big yellow dog. The big yellow dog looked at Lin Yang with black eyes, barking while wagging its tail.Lin Yang waved his stick as if to hit him, but the big yellow dog didn't go away, but took a few steps forward, looking like he was about to charge forward. "Go away! I won't go away and beat you!" Lin Yang poked it with a stick, "I really hit you!" The big yellow dog wagged its tail, stared at the direction of the team and kept barking.Lin Yang stood at its angle and found that it was not barking at the team, but at the bushes next to the team.Lin Yang didn't see clearly what was in the bushes, but the big yellow dog was barking very fiercely, so it must not be a good thing. "Lin Yang, don't worry about it, hurry up!" Jin Minxian shouted.The bushes shook for a while, and suddenly a child popped out.Lin Yang recognized this as one of the twins following them.A child appeared, and another child must have been ambushing nearby.Jin Minxian carried the old mother behind her back, without a torch in her hand, the twins actually chose her as the target of attack.Dasha swung the firewood and hit the child. The child fell to the ground and ran into the bushes.Dasha focused his attention on the direction of the child's escape, but unexpectedly, another child who was exactly the same rushed out diagonally, and by the time Dasha realized it, the child had already arrived in front of Jin Minxian.The big yellow dog limped and rushed a few steps, jumped up and rushed towards Jin Minxian.All this happened in just a few seconds, and Jin Minxian was in a dilemma, not knowing which direction to hide.Lin Yang suddenly yelled: "Minxian, don't move!" Jin Minxian stopped, and saw the big yellow dog jumping past her, hitting the child right in time.The child was probably afraid of dogs, so he ran away in a panic after landing.The big yellow dog barked and chased the twins all the way into the bushes.

Lin Yang was still looking forward to its return, how reassuring it would be to be with it... But the big yellow dog disappeared without a trace.Lin Yang walked at the back with the fire, looking back from time to time.He didn't know if the big yellow dog would come back, maybe when it came back, they had already gone far.

Brick stairs look simple, but walking is like climbing to the sky.I don't know how long I walked, and finally saw the top of the slope.When they stepped up the last step, everyone was stunned. Lin Yang stepped forward and saw that there was a tree branch half the height of a person inserted in the middle of the road... A branch is a branch, nothing special, but it was deliberately placed in a conspicuous place. position, this is unusual.Lin Yang thought of Assistant Su, and so did Teacher Chen.Teacher Chen walked around the branches and asked them what they thought.The branches are inserted upside down, and one branch and leaf is cut off, which looks like a "Bu" character.Luo Yi said it looked like a road sign.Lin Yang also understood, and pointed to the depths of the mountain along the direction: "Someone went down here?" Teacher Chen walked over, brushed away the weeds, and found a familiar mark on the tree trunk.

"Yes, he went down from here." Teacher Chen put down his backpack.

Lin Yang suddenly understood: "You..."

"I'll go and see, maybe he finds something." Teacher Chen took out his backpack, alcohol lamp, and a small box. He rummaged through it, and found a small sealed bag.

There was a handful of hair in the sealed bag. Teacher Chen said it was on the villagers' heads and told them to take it to the research institute.Huang Dafa said that an expert is an expert, and he always carries hair cutting equipment wherever he goes.Teacher Chen said no way, this hair was grabbed from the opponent's head when he was fighting with the villagers.Huang Dafa thought he would give them the alcohol lamp and the small box, but Mr. Chen handed them the sealed bag, put the alcohol lamp and the small box back into the backpack, and zipped it up. "Okay, I'm leaving." Teacher Chen picked up his backpack.

Wang Jingxiang persuaded: "Teacher, come with us, didn't you say that it's not too late to rescue the soldiers after we go out!"

Teacher Chen said that his assistant is a road idiot with a very poor sense of direction, and he usually takes him to the supermarket.

Teacher Chen looked indifferent when he spoke, as if he was talking about the weather.But Wang Jingxiang understood: "So you have been worried about him!"

Lin Yang corrected, "It should be because I'm worried about him."

Teacher Chen didn't say a word, and walked slowly down alone, holding the trunk of the tree.Huang Dafa couldn't understand: "Mr. Chen, we've come here, so it's better to go back to the city and make plans?"

Teacher Chen said: "It's okay. I have been hiding in the wild alone for several days, so I'm safe and sound."

Recalling that evil brick, Mr. Chen gritted his teeth: "If it wasn't for that brick... forget it, I won't mention it."

"..." Lin Yang wiped his sweat.

Luo Yi knew he couldn't stop him, so he said, "Teacher, we'll be waiting for you in the city!"

"Got it!" Teacher Chen chased after the assistant eagerly, waved his hands, and disappeared in the weeds.

Everyone rested on the top of the mountain for a while, Huang Dafa picked up Yang Chunhua on his back, and suddenly heard her shout: "Qiqi!"

Everyone was taken aback, it would be a disaster if she lost her nerve and ran to Liu Qi again.Yang Chunhua's eyes were closed, apparently talking in her sleep.She didn't know what she dreamed about, and she murmured that Qiqi is good and Qiqi came home with Mommy.Everyone was silent, and Wang Jingxiang secretly wiped away tears.How happy Yang Chunhua was in her dream. Liu Qi helped her mother pick up the dishes, bouncing and bouncing all the way... The sun covered the ground, and the breeze brought the fragrance of flowers. Yang Chunhua pushed open the yard door and walked into the clean and tidy farmhouse with her daughter... …

"Let's go." Luo Yi said, "The next road is more difficult, so be careful not to fall behind."

Lin Yang walked the mountain road once, so he knew that they had to climb at least three big mountains.The whole mountain is full of wet soil and fallen leaves. These mountains have not been visited for a long time, and there are basically no complete roads.Luo Yi opened the way ahead with burning firewood, and Huang Dafa followed him with Yang Chunhua on his back.Wang Jingxiang stood beside Huang Dafa with a fire guard.When passing a ramp, Luo Yi looked at it, and it was too difficult to climb up, so he had to walk slowly along the side of the slope.Luo Yi planted the firewood on the slope, climbed the vine with one hand, and reached out to support Huang Dafa with the other.Wang Jingxiang also imitated him to insert the firewood and then supported Huang Dafa.But Huang Dafa didn't dare to leave. He looked at it and saw that his feet were only about the width of a palm: "It's too dangerous, what should I do if I slide down?"

Luo Yi encouraged: "Dafa, just go and pay attention to your feet... Shizuka, you climb the vines and hold Dafa steady!"

When Huang Dafa took a step, Luo Yi only felt his hands sink, and his body suddenly fell down.Huang Dafa was originally quite heavy, and with Yang Chunhua, Luo Yi and Wang Jingxiang supporting him one after the other, it felt a bit overwhelming.Lin Yang watched anxiously from behind, but couldn't make it through if he wanted to help.Dasha is physically strong, but it's a pity that he can't command him.Luo Yi told Lin Yang to be optimistic about Minxian and Dasha, and climbed the vines by himself, leading Huang Dafa to move slowly.As soon as they moved, they couldn't care about the firewood planted on the slope.Seeing that the distance from the fire was getting farther and farther, Huang Dafa said: "Hurry up and get the fire!"

Luo Yi moved forward with all his attention, Wang Jingxiang's face was pale, and he also moved forward slowly.They couldn't be distracted at all, and they couldn't spare their hands, so naturally they didn't care about holding fire.When they moved seven meters away, Lin Yang couldn't see them.The old mother suddenly said: "Let me down."

Jin Minxian said to carry her on her back, but the old mother shook her head, saying that she could still walk this way. After all, she had lived in the mountains for a long time, and she even walked over cliffs when she was young.She said she would go ahead and let them support Dasha.Jin Minxian looked at Dasha, then at the old mother.If she carried the old mother on her back, Lin Yang could only rely on Lin Yang to cross the road alone, and Dasha couldn't count on it.Several exclamations came from the front, both Lin Yang and Jin Minxian were startled, they quickly poked their heads to see what happened...but the sight was blocked by weeds. "What's wrong?!" Lin Yang asked loudly.After a while, Luo Yi's voice sounded: "It's okay, don't worry, wait a minute, we are still halfway."

After about ten minutes, Lin Yang heard Huang Dafa yelling "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, I can't go through it."Luo Yi told him not to be afraid.Huang Dafa didn't seem to dare to go through it, and he annoyed Wang Jingxiang by dawdling.Wang Jingxiang scolded, scolded Huang Dafa for a while, and after a while of swaying branches and leaves, Luo Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

"Lin Yang, come here!" Luo Yi shouted over there.

Lin Yang asked, "Is Dafa okay?"

Huang Dafa: "Hoo hoo! I'm doing really well! Come here quickly! We'll be waiting for you here!"

Lin Yang ran to the side of the slope to have a look. There were very few places where he could land his feet, and he could easily fall off if he stepped on the wrong foot.He pulled the vine, but he didn't expect that the vine would break when he pulled it. "This is a new vine, I can't bear it." The old mother pointed to the gray-green vine, "If you want to grab it, grab the old vine. The old vine is like a rope. As long as the roots don't get out of the ground, it can be used as a rope."

Lin Yang tugged at the old vine, and it was sure enough.The old mother wanted to go ahead and open the way, but of course Lin Yang and Jin Minxian disagreed.The old mother smiled and said that regardless of her age, climbing this kind of slope is faster than young people.The old mother stretched out her hand to grab the vine, shook her body, and stepped over in a few steps.Once she leaves, Dasha will leave too.Jin Minxian followed the old mother, imitating her to grasp the old vine, and supported Dasha with the other hand.Although Dasha's intelligence is not high, he is very talented in climbing. He knows which are old vines and which are new. move.Lin Yang walked at the back, and his legs became weak after taking a step. The place where he landed was small and slippery, and there was a slight slope. After standing for a long time, he always had the illusion of sliding down.The old mother pointed out the vines and the location of the feet along the way.Jin Minxian looked at her, and then at Dasha, Dasha didn't need them to worry at all, he climbed the vine faster than them.In order to stabilize himself, Lin Yang had to give up the firewood and grab the vines with both hands to move.The firewood was stuck on the slope and was quickly blown out by the wind.They have no fire and can be attacked by villagers at any time.Lin Yang looked back, but found no trace of the villagers.Teacher Chen once said that after the villagers become monsters, they still retain some habits, such as returning to their own residences.The villagers were moving within the range they were familiar with, and it was estimated that they would be safe after crossing this mountain. At least it was expected that no villagers would run that far.Villagers may not be able to chase that far, but feral cats can.Wild cats are used to running in the mountains, there is no place they cannot reach.

When climbing to a place four or five meters away, there is a sharp bend, and weeds cover the place where we stay.Lin Yang couldn't see where they stepped on, but Dasha walked around while hanging from the vines.Lin Yang's feet slipped, he clung to the vine tightly and dared not move.The wind blowing across the slope made a whirring sound, every weed was shaking, every leaf was shaking, Lin Yang looked a little dizzy.A figure flashed in front of his eyes, and it turned out that Dasha had come back to look for him. "Hey hey!" Dasha didn't know how to speak, and just looked at him with a smirk.Lin Yang asked Dasha to walk again and let him have a look, Dasha said "hey" twice, and raised his arm.Lin Yang looked at it for a while, and suddenly understood. He grabbed Dasha's arm and asked him, "Will you take me there?" Lin Yang left his feet in the air.The two big men were not light, and the vine that Dasha was holding onto suddenly fell, and before the roots could be pulled out, Dasha had already grabbed another vine, stepped on it at the same time, turned around with a sway of his body.Lin Yang was dangling on Dasha's arm, but he didn't dare to vent his breath. He was really afraid that Dasha would get tired and throw him down the mountain.Dasha seemed tireless, and led Lin Yang to climb several meters in one breath. The old vines he grabbed were almost loose, and the rolling soil fell on Lin Yang's face.Dasha didn't stop, and quickly caught up with Jin Minxian.Jin Minxian hung the vines in the air with both hands. It turned out that the slope had collapsed and there was no place to stay.The suspended position lasted for about five meters, and five meters is only five steps for ordinary people, but now it is an insurmountable gap for Jin Minxian.Only then did Lin Yang understand what Huang Dafa meant when he said he couldn't go.It is indeed not an easy task for Huang Dafa to cross this road with Yang Chunhua on his back.The old mother encouraged Jin Minxian not to be afraid, and even instructed her which vine to grab.Jin Minxian's face was pale, and her hands began to tremble.Not to mention she was afraid of this height, even Lin Yang was flustered when he saw it.Luo Yi yelled at them, telling them not to be afraid and not to look down.Huang Dafa also encouraged them to say that even if they fell, they would still be a hero in the next life.Huang Dafa, who couldn't spit out ivory from his dog's mouth, was exchanged for Wang Jingxiang's curse.The old mother climbed back again and told Jin Minxian to follow her.Jin Minxian stared at the old mother's gestures and moved slowly bit by bit.Dasha was very calm and waited for Jin Minxian to pass before leaving.The wind was strong in the mountains, and the leaves were shaking. Lin Yang smelled the fragrance of flowers and a strange pungent smell.

Lin Yang broke out in a cold sweat.Dasha didn't know what the pungent smell represented, but Lin Yang did.The smell of formalin seemed to be there, but I couldn't smell it after searching carefully.

Lin Yang looked around, but there was no one and no cat.The wind stopped, and Lin Yang heard the sound of Dasha climbing the vines, rustling, rustling, and there seemed to be the sound of leaves shaking.The pungent smell came again, Lin Yang looked around, and caught a glimpse of white, Lin Yang looked up——

In the weeds above, Park Junying was lying there.
