C4 (1/2)
” Have you received anything unclean recently? ” There was no sound of wind coming from that direction. The sound was surprisingly clear. It must have come from somewhere outside the village.
” ”What's wrong?” While Mariko was in the shop, I could clearly hear what she was saying in the bathroom. I couldn't say anything, so I could only hold the phone and listen to her, trying to keep her voice low.
” ”It's better if you clean up your things and go back to the village. The accident in Old Forest has something to do with you!” Zhang Daozi was just about to hang up when I called out to him. I didn't care about avoiding him, ”What's the matter? Why is it related to me?”
” ”You, hanged yourself on a tree in the old forest. If it wasn't for me talking to you like this, I would have really thought that you were the one dying at that time.” Ma Zi really hung up. This news was enough for me to rush back to the village at night without caring for my life.
Am I dead? I'll go back and see if I'm dead? Was it me?
If I were to treat him like a fart, I would have done it. But there's one thing, something happened in the forest, that's for sure. Do you think I'm going to hang myself on a tree? Who would believe me, even if I were to hang myself, I wouldn't expect a tree.
I bought two boxes of scented rice snacks for my mother, and after calculating, I bought a few more boxes of old people and children in the village. When I went back to divide the snacks, I didn't buy any roast duck, because the wild game in the mountains was much more tasty than the other stuff.
After buying the fastest train ticket, even though the traffic is more developed now, it is still troublesome to go back to the village. Because there is no direct train, I will take a train and hire a taxi, and then I will have to walk for a while, because the village is halfway up the hill in the old forest, and the little forest at the bottom, and I must walk by myself.
By the time I got off the taxi, it was already late and I was anxious not to sleep in the town of Mi at the foot of the western mountain.
During the train ride, I dragged a large luggage case like a human being, but when I arrived in the town, I just dropped the suitcase and slung my back over my shoulder. Behind me was the hide given to me by the Mountain Elf, with the dim sum in the front and the empty strip of paper in my pocket, and then I bought a few fires because I didn't smoke and I didn't have the habit of burning, but I needed a torch in the woods in the middle of the night, so I had to prepare the fire, everything was all right, and finally sent a text message to the hemp, meaning I was going back into the woods.
There are signals in some parts of the forest, but not in others. Therefore, before you enter, send a text message, if you have free time, then pick up your phone. Busy, that's all.
He would walk into the small forest and search for some dead trees and sticks, and place them at his waist, so that the sun would set at any time. He would use them as torches, and find a fresh stick that was as thick as a mountain, and with the snakes in the grass, he wouldn't live longer than 48 hours if he were to go up into the old forest, because there were all sorts of things he could think of. This small forest, at most, had green snakes as thick as a human wrist, and those things were not poisonous, so there was nothing to be afraid of.
It's also weird that an ordinary person would walk this kind of route at night, with the egg in his crotch jumping at the same rhythm as the heart in his chest, but I might be born with the blood of a hunter, and I'm actually excited. Although spending these few years in the shop to earn some money is comfortable, it's not as exciting as being mixed up in hardship like a hunter.
Sometimes, under the most vicious sun cats, in the middle of a field full of black mosquitoes, one can guard a pheasant. If one is unable to walk on the muddy mountain road due to the heavy rain, one has to eat and drink for days and nights in the drizzling rain, and hunters need to have a spring stomach. When one is hungry, they have to endure when they are hungry, and when they reap a lot of rewards, they can roast an entire rabbit, which you can eat.
So, as a hunter, you will miss the hardships and the thrill of being a hunter. This is the charm of a hunter. It is very difficult for a man to not be tempted by this charm.
At this time, the sun had already begun to sink from the moment I had just entered the forest, and I did not intend to light the fire immediately, because this road can be walked with my eyes closed, and if I were to walk on it, I would reach a small mountain valley. There was a ravine below, and this ravine led from the old forest curve all the way to here, through our village, so it would not be a problem for me to follow the ravine, and tonight's moonlight was crystal clear as it shone onto the ravine, illuminating the path beneath my feet, allowing me to listen to the water at night.
I would have probably reached the cove by then. I kick the rocks under my feet and roll down the cliff one after another. The autumn frogs cackled in shock. If I go any further, I would see the silver glow of phosphorus on the water.
In a narrow bend in the mountain stream, it twisted and turned, spiraling upwards, passing through the woods in front of me like a ribbon in a dark mountain. It was beautiful and cool, and right below where I stood, a person was squatting on the edge of the water with his back to me.
