Haunted Places Live

Chu Yang stared blankly at the stag's body in the snow.

Its thick fur originally had a healthy and shiny luster, and those dark eyes full of spirituality, now there is only a misty, cloudy and decayed gray.The gap between life and death is so huge, no matter how fresh, beautiful, powerful and agile things are, once they are caught by death, they will immediately fall apart, all the good things will disappear, all the memories will turn into smoke and dust, and the rest There is only eternal decay, eternal nothingness.

Inexplicably, he felt a heavy and gloomy sense of guilt crawling out from the depths of his mind like a poisonous snake again.He inexplicably felt that the deer's death had something to do with him.

Although he didn't have any evidence, although the deer was probably frozen to death, after all, no fatal trauma could be seen on the body.

"Xiao Yang." Lynch had already put the rest of the luggage on the car, and walked to Chu Yang's side, "Let's go."

Chu Yang looked at the deer and whispered, "Is it because of me?"

Lynch was taken aback, "What?"

"Is it because of me?" Chu Yang turned his head and looked at Lin Qi with a pair of slightly empty eyes.

Lynch frowned in confusion, "Why do you say that?"

"You said that it is the guardian of this forest. You left immediately when you saw it dead. Is it because you knew something was wrong here?" Chu Yang asked, "In that cave that day, I Yes or no……"

"Xiao Yang." Lin Qi interrupted him, stretched out his hands to grab Chu Yang's shoulders, lowered his head slightly and stared seriously at Chu Yang's eyes, "I don't know if it's a coincidence, maybe it's just too cold, Maybe it's too old and it's time, anything is possible. Don't take everything on yourself. I want to take you away, just in case..."

"Just in case of what?"

Lynch sighed softly, "Let's get in the car and talk while walking."

Due to the snow, the already potholed road became more and more difficult to drive.The car was bumping all the way, and there was a danger of being stuck in the snow and unable to move at any time.Fortunately, the tires of the off-road vehicle were strong enough, and the journey was safe and sound.

In the car, Lynch briefly told Chu Yang about the past disputes in this land.Yosemite has always been the home of the Awanich people before the nineteenth century. They settled here eight hundred years ago and lived and multiplied for generations. Until the gold rush in 1830, white people began to come here to mine. The frequent conflicts among the Niche people even became the fuse of the later Indian wars.The inevitable outcome of the war was that the Awanich people were forced to sign a contract and were forced to leave their homeland for 800 years, and then gradually declined, until now they have almost disappeared.

There were rumors among the Indians, however, that not all the Awaniches left.A small group of Awaniche escaped into the mountains and disappeared.Legend has it that they began to believe in a certain evil god and wanted to take revenge on the US government.

It is precisely because of such legends that Lynch and several other companions came to investigate 60 years ago.It's just that nothing was found in the end.For the next 60 years, he often came back to recuperate, and he never saw or felt anything abnormal.So he has always believed that the rumors about the small Awanich people are just stories.It is the only intimidation available to a sad race whose territory has been taken and its homeland taken from it.

But this is a bloody land after all.

There is almost no so-called "pure land" in this world anymore. Even if the land looks peaceful and peaceful now, most of it has seen brutal and bloody fighting.

Chu Yang listened blankly.Even Lynch hasn't noticed the abnormality in 60 years, maybe he really thinks too much?

Or... was it precisely the bad luck he brought?

Suddenly, the car stopped suddenly.Following the inertia of the car, his body rushed forward and was pulled back severely by the seat belt.His heart beat faster, his eyes widened, and he looked at the figure in front of him who kept calling for help blocking them with his hands wide open.

It was an Indian, about 30 years old, with hair tied in a ponytail and wearing a heavy jacket.On the side of the road, there was a white man about forty years old wearing the clothes of the local security police, sitting against the tree trunk, his leg seemed to be injured, and was fixed by a simple splint made of branches and cloth strips.

Both of their faces were flushed from the cold, and they were in a mess, as if they had been walking in the snow for a long time.

Seeing the car stopped, the Indian immediately rushed to the window and waved vigorously to Lynch.

Lynch glanced at Chu Yang, and said in a low voice, "I know this man, he lives in the valley. He will come over every other month to help me look at the house." Then he rolled down the window, " Sewati? Why are you here?"

Pointing to the sheriff over there, the Indian said in standard English, "He's going to see the landslide, let me help lead the way. After all, I'm familiar with the mountains. But we've seen hell, we've already detoured on this road Couldn't get around for hours. He even broke his leg, luckily he ran into you!"

Lynch frowned, "Are you going to get lost too? It's not far from the river valley, is it?"

"So I've seen the hell!" Savati said angrily, "I've been running in this mountain since I was a few years old, and it's impossible to get lost! But I just can't get out!"

Ghost hit the wall...

"What about your car? It's impossible to come here on foot, right?"

"The car got stuck in the snow and couldn't move, and the walkie-talkie had no signal."

"Get the wounded to the car first?" Chu Yang said next to him, then opened the door and got out of the car, and together with Savati lifted the sheriff who was in pain and cursed, and slowly moved to the back seat of the off-road vehicle superior.After pushing the person into the car door, Saiwati nodded to Chu Yang, "Are you Lin's friend?"

Chu Yang took the initiative to reach out and shake the Indian, "Chu Yang."

"Savati."

After getting into the car, the security officer said, "Thanks. I almost thought I was going to die on this ghost road." He also gave Savati who was sitting next to him a hard look.The Indian said grumpily, "This ungrateful note is last year's new Sheriff Robert Moore."

Chu Yang took out his mobile phone and looked at it. The signal bar was empty, so he could only make an emergency call.He called 911 and picked up his phone, but there was no sound from it.

"My phone doesn't work. What about yours?" Chu Yang asked Lynch.

Lynch's new mobile phone also had no signal, his brows became more and more wrinkled, and a bad premonition gradually crept up his spine.

In desperation, they had no choice but to start the car and drive towards the river valley.About 10 minutes later, they did see a police car stuck in a snowdrift beside the road.Lynch sneered, "How did you drive the car in?"

The two people in the back seat were silent for a moment, and after a while, Robert finally said, "I thought I saw a deer on the road..."

"Think?"

"I saw it too. But after our car rushed into the snow, the deer disappeared. It may have run away." Savati said, but Lynch observed their expressions through the rearview mirror, but felt that There seemed to be a trace of fear flashing in their eyes.

At a fork in the road, Lynch turned to the left the way he came.Drive along this road for about 10 minutes and you should be able to reach the main road.

But 15 minutes later, the road was still stretching.

Twenty and ten minutes later, they were still on the road.On both sides are woods that don't seem to have much difference. Even the shaking of the car body seems to be repeated, as if they are driving on a conveyor belt and have been walking in place.

Gradually, no one in the car spoke anymore, and a cloud of uneasiness shrouded everyone's brows.

Lynch also pursed his lips tightly, and an irritable expression gradually appeared on his face.Chu Yang looked at him worriedly, and took out his mobile phone to check from time to time.He knew that the cell phone of the Presbyterian Church was very special. Even in the parallel reality, it could continue to connect to the original reality, but now there was no signal, which was already very strange.He knew that this situation was definitely not normal.

From the time I saw the stag's body, something was wrong.

About 15 minutes later, the forest in front of me began to wash and open up.But both Lin Qi and Chu Yang opened their eyes slightly, with dull expressions on their faces.

In front of them was a peaceful ice lake.A small wooden house stands alone by the lake, facing the green forest, cliff waterfall and white snow in the distance, as well as the stunned antlers in the snow in front of the house...

They actually drove back.

Lynch cursed in a low voice, slammed on the gas pedal, and rushed up the leaving road again.But this time it took only 10 minutes before driving back again.

For the third time, Lynch chose the road on the right where the road forked.The end result is still the same.

They drove back to the front of the cabin.

At this time, the sky was approaching dusk, and it was getting dark quickly in the mountains, and snowflakes began to float in the sky again.Smearing driving in such weather conditions is tantamount to suicide, so they had to get out of the car and carry the wounded into the wooden house.Lynch was busy lighting a fire in the fireplace, and Chu Yang quickly found the medical kit and handed it to Savati so that he could treat Robert's injured leg.Then he went to the kitchen and made a pot of thick soup from cans, with bread and butter, to feed a few people.

Robert grinned his teeth in pain and let out low hums.Chu Yang lowered his head to stir the soup, but his mind became more and more confused.

Is it him?Did he cause all this?

If not him, why is it so good?Why do these horrible and weird things happen no matter where he goes?

The breathing of the earth and the mountains, which he had heard in the cave, came back to his mind.Only this time, the voice was no longer soothing and charming, but menacing and gloomy, constantly touching his fragile nerves that could be broken at any time.

Now he can't use the stigmata. Although Lynch has regained some vitality, according to Bai Dian, it's better not to use it as much as possible.Except for the ability to use observation, they are almost no different from ordinary people now.The problem is that the power of observation can only send them to the place corresponding to this location in the parallel reality, and it is impossible to take them away completely.

Besides, according to the rules of the elders, they cannot stay in any parallel reality for more than three hours without approval.

A thought entered Chu Yang's mind: It would be great if the cello was by his side.

Savati used two pieces of wood to fix Robert's broken leg, which was the best they could do with the tools they had.While the four of them were sitting around the dinner table drinking soup, a strong wind started to blow outside the house, and the snow fell more and more.

Robert looked out the window and cursed, "The weather forecast never said there would be a blizzard!"

Savati looked out of the window, with a look of panic in his expression, he whispered, "The mountain...is different."

Lynch actually felt it too.Since this morning, the smell in the air has changed subtly, an uncomfortable change.

Suddenly, a rumbling thunder sounded, shaking the glass on the window to buzz.

Chu Yang had never heard thunder in a snowy day.Apparently, the others hadn't heard much about it, and they all raised their heads at the same time.The light bulb above his head also seemed to have been frightened, and then dimmed before regaining brightness.Chu Yang hurriedly got up to close the wooden windows on the inner floor to prevent the glass from being shattered and rushing into the house to hurt people.

But at this moment, another voice sounded from the porch.

Da-da, da-da, da-da...

It sounded like hooves on a wooden floor.
