Yancheng Special Office
Chapter 18 Big Forest 5
Here, an old man and a young man were busy arguing, while Su Jian continued to say to the old weasel: "Thank you, old man, I'll go and meet this guy who pretends to be a mountain god, and see where he came from."
A group of people bid farewell to Huang Weasel's family, and the two cars returned to the foot of the mountain from the original road, intending to continue looking for the mountain on the opposite side of the road.Since he was already familiar with the road conditions when he came, the steering wheel in Luo Wenxiu's hand was obviously much easier on the way back.
There is not so much pressure in the hands, and the mind can't help but want to think about other things.
Luo Wenxiu glanced at Pei Mengfei, the co-pilot, who was concentrating on playing mobile games.
Luo Wenxiu hesitated for a while, and finally couldn't help but said: "I didn't understand what Director Su and Uncle Huang Weat said just now. If you are not busy, can you continue to explain to me?"
Pei Mengfei let out a "huh" and said casually while frantically pressing the screen, "You can ask me, young man."
Luo Wenxiu wanted something from others, so naturally he could only accept Pei Mengfei's crazily taking advantage of him, "You say that mountain spirit proclaimed himself king and pretended to be a mountain god, so where did the real mountain god go?"
Pei Mengfei said: "It has long since ceased to exist. Some mountain gods who were too old have gradually disappeared over the long years, and some escaped into the six realms after death, and reincarnated when the time of reincarnation is up."
Luo Wenxiu raised his eyebrows and asked, "From what you mean, is there more than one mountain god?"
"The mountain god does not refer to a certain person, but refers to a position." Pei Mengfei said slowly: "About 2000 years ago... oh, that is what you are talking about in the ancient times. The mountain god was responsible for protecting the water and soil of the human world." Taiping, the status is equivalent to... the current county magistrate?"
Luo Wenxiu glanced at the direction of the car in front of him, and said quietly, "He too?"
Pei Mengfei didn't raise her head, "Who are you talking about?"
"Su Jian." Luo Wenxiu said, "Just now I heard the old weasel call him 'Master Mountain God'."
Pei Mengfei paused for a moment, as if he didn't remember it for a while, and then immediately remembered it, and replied with an "oh", "That's right, he was indeed a mountain god before."
Luo Wenxiu: "In the last life? Or in the previous life?"
Pei Mengfei waved his hand and said indifferently: "Where did he come from in his previous life? That guy couldn't be reincarnated. He violated the rules of life and was removed from the book of life and death. In this life, unless he commits suicide or homicide, he will never grow old or die."
Luo Wenxiu was taken aback, "...You mean, he has lived since he became a mountain god?"
"That's right, the passage of time is meaningless to him, basically tantamount to being completely forgotten by this world."
Luo Wenxiu's mind was blank. He imagined countless answers. He imagined that Su Jian might be the reincarnation of a god, or that he might be endowed with the memory of someone's previous life in this life, in order to fulfill his long-cherished wish, etc... But he never thought of this .
He is still himself, but he has lived thousands of years longer than others.
Pei Mengfei said while concentrating on playing the game: "Thanks to his big heart, he usually makes fun of himself. If it were someone else, he would have gone crazy, or he would have killed himself."
Luo Wenxiu couldn't imagine how lonely it was.Although human beings have evolved to seek the way of longevity, but they have really lived for a long time, watching the thousands of years of change in the world, and watching the relatives around them leave themselves one by one.In the final analysis, immortality is nothing more than a curse, a kind of torture.
——But why, he can't see the slightest loneliness in his eyes, but he still likes to tease others so shamelessly.
"Has he... has been living alone like that?"
"That's right. When Vice Minister Bai found him from the Qinling Mountains 11 years ago, he heard that he was no different from an orangutan. By the way... I have always suspected that the legends about Shennongjia savages on the Internet are actually just Su The director happened to be passing by in the woods."
Pei Mengfei couldn't feel Luo Wenxiu's sudden disappointment, and was successfully amused by his own cold joke, but Luo Wenxiu obviously didn't catch the other party's stalk, and he was lost in thought alone: "Where is Vice Minister Bai? What kind of person is he? How does he know Director Su's ability?"
"You mean Bai Yan? He's the biggest cheater in the Three Realms—because of his good personal relationship with Granny Meng, he didn't drink soup when he died in his previous life and went to reincarnation, so he still retains the memories of his previous life in this life."
Compared with Su Jian, Luo Wenxiu is obviously not interested in the gossip about Bai Yan's previous life and Meng Po for the time being, he is still thinking about Su Jian: "What did he do that violated the rules of heaven, so that he would be removed from the book of life and death so severely ?”
Pei Mengfei shook his head, "It's been too long, much older than my great-grandfather. I was not born at that time, so I don't know what happened. I tried to ask him this question, but He didn't tell me, maybe he doesn't want to be mentioned..."
At this point, Luo Wenxiu couldn't ask anything else.Pei Mengfei was still concentrating on playing the game, while Luo Ye had fallen asleep in the back and fell unconscious.
The car fell into silence again. After driving on the winding mountain road for several hours, it wasn't until Su Jian stopped the car in front again that Luo Wenxiu realized that he had unknowingly reached the mountain range where the cave was located.
Luo Wenxiu waited for a while, seeing that Su Jian had neither turned on the flashing lights nor got out of the car, so he dialed the phone and turned on the speakerphone.
Su Jian's voice came from behind the receiver: "Turn off the fire, don't make any noise."
Luo Wenxiu instinctively followed suit, but he could hear the caution in the other party's tone, so he asked, "What happened in front?"
Su Jian didn't speak, and the sound of "sizzling" electricity came out from the receiver from time to time, which was especially harsh in the silent environment.
Gold Wing's voice came from the other side of the receiver: "I'll go down and have a look."
"Don't wait." Su Jian said: "There is a problem with this road, everyone, don't get out of the car, be careful."
Luo Wenxiu saw that the driver's seat of the car in front was quietly opened. After a while, Su Jian got out of the car alone holding the shaking stick.After looking around to make sure it was safe, he made a gesture to get off the car and let the rest of the people follow.
As soon as Luo Wenxiu opened the car door, he felt the temperature outside the car window suddenly drop by seven or eight degrees. The biting cold instantly invaded the bones, making people shiver.
"We have passed this place twice, and I have confirmed that we are not going in a circle." Su Jian said, "It seems that there is something that does not want us to pass."
Luo Wenxiu looked at the ground. Although the fallen leaves in the mountains were thick, there was indeed an identical wheel print under the shallowest layer.
There is no longer a road in the strict sense, and the surrounding thorns and vines are dense.If you don't look at the wheel marks, but just look at the slanting branches around it, it's really hard to tell whether this place has been here before.
"Ghost hitting the wall?" Luo Ye, who had just woken up, sneezed from the cold as soon as he got out of the car, "I saw a compass in the trunk, I'll take it out."
Luo Ye turned out the compass that Qin Tianxiang had prepared for them, only to find that the needle was spinning wildly without a single confirmed direction.
Pei Mengfei: "What are you doing, prepare a bad one for us."
"It's not necessarily broken, it must have been disturbed." Su Jian looked around, and then looked down at her watch. The time was exactly three o'clock in the afternoon. "The fog around here is very heavy, we can't see the sun, and we can't judge the direction. Let's not drive forward for now, stop and rest for a while before we talk."
Su Jian's judgment was correct. In such a place where the road conditions and directions were unclear, it was easy to accidentally drive into a ditch or fall into a cliff overgrown with weeds.The best way is to wait until the sun comes out, the fog clears, and the direction will appear naturally.
But now it was three o'clock in the afternoon, and there were at most two and a half hours before the sun went down.If you can't find the right direction before dark, the fog will thicken after nightfall.
The mountains of the night, that's the real danger.
Pei Mengfei picked up a dead branch as tall as a person and as thick as a wrist from the grass as a walking stick, "I'm more familiar with the situation in the mountains than you, so you wait where you are, and I'll go find the way."
Hearing Qi Jun get up and say "I'll go with you", the two walked along the tracks of the wheels.The rest added some food on the spot, and after about 15 minutes of groping, Pei Mengfei and Qi Jun turned back from the original road.
Su Jian: "How is the front?"
Pei Mengfei said solemnly: "The fog about 300 meters ahead is getting thicker and thicker. We can't walk through it. We are afraid of accidents, so we have to come back."
Qi Jun frowned and said: "The smell of this fog is not right, it must not be the fog in the ordinary mountains. Do you remember that we experienced this kind of fog that seemed to be alive and deliberately blocked people's sight when we were 'below'? It's the smell that makes me want to throw up."
"Corpse smell?" Su Jian thought for a while, "This place is not far from the corpse hole, and it's normal to have a corpse smell. After all, after being stuffy and fermented in the cave for so long, I finally rushed out of the cave, just in time. catch my breath."
"I'm afraid I'm going to spend the night in the mountains tonight." Qi Jun rubbed his nose, he was almost so smelly that he lost his sense of smell. "Do we have enough supplies to last until tomorrow?"
"Food and water are enough for now. The deep mountains are no different than other places. There are many wild animals at night, so we definitely can't set up tents here. At worst, everyone will sleep in the car tonight. It will be no problem to stay up until dawn." Su Jian put her hands on her hips and sighed, "Just now When we came here, we were put together, it seems that this 'mountain god' doesn't welcome us very much."
"That's right, there can't be two tigers in one mountain, unless there is one male and one female." Pei Mengfei said, digging out a box of self-heating rice and mineral water from the trunk and returning to the car to sit and eat, planning to prepare for the night.
Time passed by, the gloomy sky gradually darkened, the evening was fleeting, and the worrying night finally came.
Luo Wenxiu wrapped the windbreaker tightly, and rubbed his cold hands again.So far he hasn't felt any real danger, and the matter of spending the night in the mountains is still relatively new to him.Until the sun was setting in the west and the moon was rising in the east, there was a wolf howling resounding through the valley from the deep mountain.
The sound echoed in the valley, and the scattered birds flew up from the forest.The pale moonlight sees through the layers of ancient trees, outlining the horned dragon-like branches into strange shapes.
Luo Wenxiu was originally sitting on a tree stump warming himself by the fire, but when he heard the howl of wolves, his back suddenly went cold, and a fear of the unknown arose spontaneously from the bottom of his heart.He turned off the fire and ran back to the car, closing the door, feeling that the sense of security brought by the tin box was irreplaceable.
Luo Wenxiu felt like an ostrich with its head back.
Pei Mengfei's cell phone had completely run out of battery because he was playing with it, and he was gnawing on a bag of instant noodles in the co-pilot bored.Seeing Luo Wenxiu get into the car, he couldn't help but say, "Are you afraid of wolves?"
Luo Wenxiu glanced back at him, "I'm afraid of predators."
Pei Mengfei became excited when she heard it, "I'm also a carnivore, are you afraid?"
Before Luo Wenxiu had time to pay attention to him, he only heard a message pop up from the work group on his mobile phone.
Pei Mengfei leaned over and said, "Show me, my phone is out of battery."
Luo Wenxiu opened it and found that it was a photo sent by Su Jian.
The angle of view of the photo is the driver's seat of the car in front. Looking out from the window in front of the driver's seat, there is an indistinct "person" standing at the end of the fog.
A group of people bid farewell to Huang Weasel's family, and the two cars returned to the foot of the mountain from the original road, intending to continue looking for the mountain on the opposite side of the road.Since he was already familiar with the road conditions when he came, the steering wheel in Luo Wenxiu's hand was obviously much easier on the way back.
