Hit ghost

"Don't get me wrong, I didn't mean to harm you." The truck driver pointed to the front, the winding mountain road ahead, and Badong Village was hidden deep in the mountains, "I just think you are quite difficult."

Xie Jin loosened Jiu's hand slightly. He stared at the simple-looking dark man in front of him. This man had shown extraordinary concern twice, but now he told himself things he didn't know. Why?

Don't you still come here for Ji Duan?Xie Jin subconsciously covered the jade badge hidden in his clothes, and the truck driver could see the vigilance and defense on his face.

"Ha... I really didn't think anything wrong, it's just that the way you got out of the mountain back then was so much like my younger brother who returned home after being lost."

The driver stepped on the brakes slowly, and the truck stopped steadily on the side of the road. He could now look at Xie Jin with confidence, "My brother went out to work, and he made money but became addicted to gambling, and ended up owing a lot of money outside. Debt, because I was afraid of debt collection, I had no choice but to come back.”

He lowered the car window and lit a cigarette again. The icy cold wind outside the window quickly tore the white smoke he spit out and dissipated into the night that had completely sunk.

Turning his head to look at Xie Jin, the driver found that he was listening seriously, so he smiled slightly and continued to speak, "Later, in order not to implicate us, he ran outside to hide by himself, but was arrested by debt collectors. He was caught straight, and then he was beaten to death."

Leaning heavily on the back of the seat behind him, the driver exhaled a long cigarette, as if lamenting the dead soul, "...that's why I asked you, did you offend anyone, I think those guys are not friendly .”

Xie Jin looked at the driver suspiciously, it didn't look like he was lying, so he put away his vigilant posture and resumed the sitting posture just now.

For a moment, Xie Jin didn't know what to say, Xie Jin thought for a long time, and finally choked out a sentence: "No, I didn't cause trouble, and I probably know who did it."

He sat up straight, carefully folded the thin quilt with his own body temperature and placed it beside him, and looked at the completely dark sky, "Can you tell me how far it is from where I'm going?" distance?"

"About two kilometers." Seeing Xie Jin pull out his wallet from his backpack, the driver hastily declined, "Don't do this, last time you stuffed me with two hundred, which is enough for the round-trip fare, stop! "

"Brother, this is all the cash I have on me." Xie Jin stuffed four red bills and a stack of change into the driver's hand, "If you handed me over to that person, I might not be able to come back here. So you have to accept the money, just take it as my wish."

The driver refused to accept it, and his attitude was also very tough: "No, why should I charge you so much money? Besides, what will you do when you come out, and what will you do if you don't have money to go home?"

"I can do it myself." Xie Jin smiled faintly at the driver, then suddenly opened the door and closed it before he could put the money back.

Xie Jin didn't stay too long, he ran to the roadside bushes before the driver got off the car, no matter how the driver yelled at him, he didn't look back.

As a local, I naturally know how dangerous the mountains at night are, especially the uninhabited wild mountains.

Perhaps in the eyes of the driver, city dwellers like Xie Jin, whose delicate skin and tender flesh would collapse when blown by the wind, could not survive a night in this virgin forest.

But Xie Jin knew clearly that in the depths of this forest, people are much more terrifying than wild animals and natural disasters.

"Brother, thank you for taking care of me all the way, let's leave now." After Yang shouted to the driver behind him, Xie Jin rushed into the dense trees and disappeared into the night.

After walking tens of meters inside, Xie Jin released Jiu from his pocket after making sure that he was completely away from the winding mountain road.

This place is not like a city with advanced surveillance. No matter what happens here, no one will notice it. At most, they will think it is a beast in the mountains.

"Chirp, please." Xie Jin caressed the black lion's chirp, which was sniffing carefully with its head down, identifying the smell they left behind, "Is there any trace? It's been a week, even if there is still a smell left here , I probably left it a week ago."

Xie Jin turned on the searchlight. It is easy for people to lose their way in the forest, not to mention in the dark night, he could not recognize the direction of Badong Village from two kilometers away, so he had to go back to the original road that stopped abruptly. on the road.

"Chirp, the driver brother should have already left. Can you take me along this winding mountain road? There should still be a mark engraved by Wen Liang."

The black lion nodded, and obediently let Xie Jin climb onto its back. In order to avoid meeting the driver, it carried Xie Jin through the woods, and returned to the asphalt road after a certain distance.

With the wind blowing under his feet all the way, the black lion ran fast on the unobstructed asphalt road. Its strong and tall body ran fast like a heavy-duty racing car.

The asphalt road came to an end soon, and the black lion stopped, looked at the road that stopped abruptly, and asked Xie Jin, "Jin, is this here?"

"Yes." Xie Jin jumped off its back and stepped on the grass of different heights to walk deeper, "Wen Liang left a mark with a dagger before entering the village, as long as you follow the mark, you can return to Badong Village. "

"Perhaps you can also trust my nose." The black lion swung its tail and leaned over. It sniffed around, then suddenly raised its head to look at the nearby grass, and grinned at the invisible darkness behind it.

Xie Jin didn't know what happened, but he approached the black lion immediately and faced that direction. He saw the grass swaying and the dense branches and leaves rustling, as if something was hiding inside.

beast?

Xie Jin took out the fire ax from his bag, and he brought the ax out of the hospital in case of emergency, but he didn't expect it to come in handy.

There were bursts of low growls from the black lion's throat. It was threatening the things hiding in the grass with absolute power. Don't get close, or you will be shot and killed.

"Woo, woo."

Two shadows emerged from the grass. They lowered their heads and carefully appeared in Xie Jin's line of sight, but they did not approach, and their tails wagged cheerfully.

These were two dogs, Xie Jin had seen them before, and they even rescued him from gray wolves.

"Chirp, it's okay." Xie Jin patted Hei Shi's side face, and he knelt down to take care of the two dogs, "It's you guys, we meet again."

Two big tall and thin dogs immediately rubbed his trouser legs, and wagged their tails flying up, as if responding to Xie Jin's words, they even barked in reply.

"Jin, do you know them?" The black lion looked downcast, even though it couldn't make human expressions on its dark face, even if it did, it couldn't be seen clearly.

"They saved me. At that time, I was almost attacked by wolves in the mountains." Xie Jin had a rare smile on his face. The feeling of licking the palm of the dog's tongue was completely different from that of Jiu, it was slippery and itchy.

He stood up, drooling over his hands, and whispered to the two dogs, "Okay, we still have to hurry, it's getting late, you go, don't meet any other big beasts."

"Woof!" The black dog glanced at Xie Jin, and it suddenly stretched out and ran towards the woods, but it didn't go far, it just advanced a few steps and then stopped, turned its head and continued to look at Xie Jin.

"What are you doing...?" Xie Jin was a little puzzled. At this moment, the brown dog was biting the corner of his clothes with its teeth, trying to pull Xie Jin in the direction of the black dog.

"They seem to want to lead us the way." The black lion arched its head against Xie Jin's back angrily, and at the same time pawed at the brown dog holding Xie Jin with its huge paws, which made the dog let go immediately.

"Wow!" Seemingly confirming that it was right, the brown dog rushed to the black dog in two or three steps, and the two dogs looked back at Xie Jin at the same time. The scene was really indescribably weird.

"Okay, so that's how it is." Xie Jin climbed onto the back of the black lion, looked at the two dogs, and asked a little confused, "You can lead me to Badong Village, can't you?"
