Deep courtyard

The author has something to say: This chapter is a bit scary, so you don't have to read it if you are scared.

After climbing down a few steps, Huang Yuan knew how difficult it was. This is a cliff in the humid basin of the Jiangnan area. There are not many edges and corners on the smooth cliff for hands and feet to use, and it is covered with ferns and moss. Very slippery.

Huang Yuan slipped down a few times, and could only hold the climbing rope tightly with both hands. His palms and fingers were already getting hot and swollen from the wear. He cursed Pu Jiang for being an idiot, and said to himself:

"Pujiang, you must wait for me."

After more than ten minutes, Huang Yuan felt as if a century had passed. He saw the rope when Pujiang climbed down, and it was broken in front of his eyes. It was gently swaying with the night wind, making his heart twitch.Looking up, there were a few people protruding from the cliff, estimated to be only about ten meters away, Huang Yuan already felt that his physical strength had been consumed a lot, and his teeth biting his mobile phone and the masseter muscles around his joints felt a little numb.

Huang Yuan freed up one hand, turned off the flashlight of the phone, and carefully put it in his pocket.It was completely dark all around, with only a few light spots above his head, but they could hardly reach his position.Seeing that his flashlight was dimmed, the people above shouted quickly. Huang Yuan replied loudly, "It's all right." Then, in the dark, he continued to climb down by instinct, taking every step with extra care.

At night, the cool autumn wind blew past his ears, causing him to shrink his neck and listen carefully. Except for the whistling wind, there was still no movement below.Huang Yuan's heart tightened, he gritted his teeth, and accelerated the speed of climbing down. His feet slipped a few times, and he immediately fell down for a certain distance. Even if he didn't look at his palms, he knew that the skin had already been worn out, but Huang Yuan only felt it was hot Numbness, no pain.

Just like this, he paused while sliding down, and soon felt that there was some plant under his feet.Huang Yuan squatted down and judged by touching that it was not a tree, but a shrub, so the height from the ground should not exceed two meters.

Huang Yuan took a deep breath, prepared himself mentally, let go of his hand, and let his body fall freely, which was similar to his prediction. The position where he let go was about one meter above the ground, but because he jumped on the trunk of a bush, his body lost his balance , fell to the side.Huang Yuan protected his head, feeling the branches rushing across his body, his body should have been scratched a lot.

The people above heard the movement and quickly shouted: "Director Huang! Are you okay!?"

Huang Yuan got up and felt that his bones were fine, and replied: "I'm done, I'm fine!"

Then, ignoring the pain in his body, he turned on the flashlight of his mobile phone and started calling for someone: "Pujiang! Where are you! I'm Huang Yuan, answer me!"

The bushes more than one meter high not only blocked his sight, but also hindered his movement, making it impossible to underestimate the situation on the ground.Huang Yuan had no choice but to squat down, shine with a flashlight, and wave his hands around while groping.

If Pujiang fell and was injured, he shouldn't have gone far. If he wasn't injured, he should have called for help right away, so Huang Yuan judged that the Pujiang people must be nearby.

Huang Yuan held the phone in his left hand, and tried his best to find it with his right hand. Suddenly, what he touched was no longer a branch or a leaf, but something cold and uneven. He thought it was a stone on the ground. When he adjusted the angle of the phone in his left hand, When the light shines on it, I can clearly see that there is a skull under the palm of the right hand!

"Ah!!!!" Huang Yuan exclaimed uncontrollably, and fell backwards, and the phone fell to the ground, its back facing down to cover the light of the flashlight, and the whole body was once again plunged into darkness and fear .

Huang Yuan sat on the ground stiffly, at a loss, and couldn't even hear the panicked shouts of other people on the cliff top.

At this moment, a soft groan came from behind: "Ugh—"

"Woo!!!!" Huang Yuan was completely frightened, jumped up, picked up the phone and was about to run.

"Xiao Yuan..." A vague voice came from behind again, but this time Huang Yuan heard the familiar low and hoarse voice, and could even distinguish a faint smile from the weak voice.

The sound pierced through the eardrums and reached his heart, causing Huang Yuan to turn around abruptly. He raised his phone to take a picture of it, and sure enough, he saw a pair of long legs at the position where he fell down just now, and his bare calves were covered with criss-crossing bruises and dark reds. I was so frightened that I sat down on my butt just now, I didn't pay attention at all, I just thought it was the uneven ground.

A person was lying awkwardly in the bushes, but lazily squinted his eyes and yawned at Huang Yuan, then rubbed his eyes, moved his shoulders and arms, people who didn't know would think that this person was just He took a nap in the bushes and overslept, but Huang Yuan still noticed that Pu Jiang's feet hadn't moved, and his brows were deeply knit.

Pu Jiang smiled at Huang Yuan who was standing in front of him with a serious face but said nothing, pointed to the skull that scared Huang Yuan just now, and said, "That's a dog's head."

The people standing still did not speak, Pujiang waited for a crow that was disturbed by them to fly past angrily, and continued: "This place is called a 'mass grave' by the villagers. It is said that during the Anti-Japanese War, the villagers who were killed by the Japanese army They were all buried or discarded here. Although there are not thousands of people, there are always hundreds of people, so the general villagers never approach this place. Later, the villagers took this as a wild burial mound, and threw sick poultry and livestock directly. Come down, of course, some people in the family have passed away, but there is no money for the funeral, and..."

"To shut up!"
