Fox Tail Mountain.
The trees in the mountains and forests are luxuriant, and their branches and leaves stretch out and intersect without restraint, covering the sky in layers.
There are only a few faint rays of light, which occasionally squeeze in through the gaps between the branches and leaves, and fall on the ground, forming dots of light spots.
Maybe it's because few people set foot here all year round.
The ground is already covered with thick fallen leaves, and when you step on them, you will make a "rustling" sound.
Occasionally, you can see some rotten branches lying in a mess, with various unknown fungi growing on them.
In the mountains and forests, the roads are rugged and bumpy, making walking extremely difficult. You have to be careful every step you take.
now.
Next to a mountain stream, clear mountain spring water is gurgling from the mountain stream.
The water was crystal clear and shone with sparkling waves in the sunlight.
A group of four people were slowly climbing forward along the mountain stream.
These four people are all in their twenties, two men and two women.
"Sure enough, the unpolluted mountain air is better!"
The first person to speak was one of the women. She was wearing a slim-fitting sportswear, which made her proud figure look even more graceful.
At this moment, her face was as red as a ripe apple, a unique blush after mountain climbing.
Her big eyes were shining with excitement.
Looking at the beautiful scenery of the mountains and forests in front of her, she took a deep breath. The waves in her chest made the two men on the side unable to look away.
"Shen Ling As long as you like it!"
Cao Fei responded with a smile.
His skin is slightly darker and he wears a black vest, showing his smooth muscles and tight arms, giving people a sense of security.
"Yes, but no one has set foot in this place. It is a primitive mountain forest. There may be wild beasts or poisonous snakes. You must pay attention to safety."
Lu Yang on the side nodded slightly and reminded him.
He has a slightly slim figure and is wearing a light gray sportswear. His whole person exudes a capable energy.
As he spoke, he seemed to have thought of something.
He glanced at the girl who was walking at the back of the team and had been silent.
"Luo Xiaomeng, remember to capture the nearby shots. You will need them for later editing."
Lu Yang conveyed the mission in a calm tone.
"Yeah!"
The girl named Luo Xiaomeng responded softly.
She wears an ordinary ponytail, her face is dotted with freckles, and she wears a pair of black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of her nose.
There was a camera hanging around his neck, and he followed silently at the end of the team. He held the camera in his hand and took pictures seriously, as if he didn't like to talk much.
The other three didn't pay too much attention to this, they just talked and laughed with each other.
From time to time, the words of the two boys made Shen Ling burst into laughter. The laughter echoed in the mountains and forests, breaking some of the silence of the mountains and forests.
At this moment, Shen Ling stepped on a stone.
He posed like a scissor hand and was just about to let Luo Xiaomeng take a photo of himself.
But when she glanced around inadvertently, she seemed to have discovered something new, and a look of surprise suddenly appeared on her face.
"Hey, look, there seems to be someone over there."
Shen Ling said.
Hear the words.
Several people looked in the direction of her finger and saw a young man carrying a black mountaineering bag walking quickly from below. That
The man's steps were extremely fast, and in just a few steps, he quickly closed the distance between him and them.
"Isn't it forbidden for people to come in here? What's wrong with this person?"
Lu Yang frowned and said with a puzzled look on his face.
Cao Fei on one side also shook his head, also full of confusion.
"Maybe this person came here to explore like us, and maybe he took the footage."
Shen Ling thought for a while and guessed.
Seeing the young man's figure getting closer and closer, she rolled her eyes and suggested with a smile.
"Why don't we invite this person to join us? It's always safer if there are more than one person."
Lu Yang and Cao Fei couldn't help but frown slightly when they heard this.
Although I was not very happy, I couldn't refuse directly, so I fell into silence for a while.
Seeing the two of them looking like this, Shen Ling didn't take it seriously.
When the young man's figure came closer, she put her hands to her mouth.
Make it into a trumpet shape and shout towards the person:
"Handsome boy, are you alone? It's fate to meet you here. Do you want to come with us?"
"No need, I still like someone!"
The young man, Hu Qi, glanced at a few people lightly.
Ignoring the warning glances from the two men.
"It's not very safe here. If you don't want to die, you should go down the mountain as early as possible while it's still light!"
After saying this, Hu Qi ignored the reactions of several people and quickly passed by them.
Walking on the steep mountain road, it was like walking on flat ground, and soon disappeared in front of several people.
For the sake of the other party calling him handsome guy.
He was able to put aside the past grudges and give a warning.
Already benevolent and righteous.
Whether the other party believes it or not is none of his business.
Adults should be responsible for their own actions.
You have to bear the consequences of the choices you make by yourself.
He is not a savior, and he has no intention of helping others change their wrong decisions.
What the One and Only can do is perhaps send those who are his enemies to see God. This is already one of his few kindnesses.
"Hmph! You're so ungrateful! If you weren't running fast, I would have to make this person look good."
Lu Yang couldn't help but snorted, in his opinion.
In this deep mountain and old forest, naturally the more people there are, the safer it is. Fortunately, this person is alone, so he is not afraid of any unexpected situations.
Moreover, he even dared to curse them!
Cao Fei and Shen Ling heard what Lu Yang said.
He also echoed a few words.
Only Luo Xiaomeng looked at Hu Qi's back thoughtfully.
After that, the group of people continued walking along the mountain road and soon left this episode behind.
Cao Fei and Lu Yang were still surrounding Shen Ling, talking and laughing along the way.
And Luo Xiaomeng is the last one.
As if he were a tool man, he quietly followed behind a few people.
However, none of the three people noticed that without them paying attention, Luo Xiaomeng, who was walking behind, occasionally cast his eyes on them, wondering what he was thinking.
The total height of Fox Tail Mountain from the ground is about one thousand meters.
If the mountain road is regular, the slope is relatively gentle, and you don't take much rest along the way, you may be able to successfully reach the top in two or three hours.
But this Fox Tail Mountain is a barren mountain that few people have entered for a long time, and the mountain roads are rugged and winding.
The road conditions were very complicated, and various venomous snakes and wild beasts sometimes appeared along the way. The difficulty of climbing was far beyond their expectations.
In addition, several people had to stop after taking a few steps in order to capture footage for later editing, so the moving speed was even slower.
Starting from noon, it was not until near evening that the group of people reached two-thirds of the way, still some distance from the top of the mountain.
Watching the sun gradually set towards the west, the skylight became darker and darker, and being in the mountains and forests, it got dark much faster than outside.
In desperation, a few people could only choose to camp on the spot, after all, it was a dark night.
The mountain road is even more difficult. If you are not careful, you can easily fall and get injured, which will be troublesome.
The One and Only Fortunately, they have been moving forward along the mountain stream, and they have not lost their way.
At this moment, several people set up two tents next to the mountain stream. Cao Fei and Lu Yang lived in one, and Shen Ling and Luo Xiaomeng lived in another.
Afterwards, the group sat on the picnic cloth and began to enjoy the meals prepared in advance.
They were prepared for the possibility of staying in the forest for one night and brought enough food in advance, so they would not go hungry.
At this moment, Shen Ling on the side suddenly sneezed.
She couldn't help but rub her arms and said with some confusion, "Hey, why do you feel a little cold suddenly?"
The other three people also felt the same, and even shivered faintly, feeling the chill coming from all directions.
"The air circulation in the mountain forest is relatively good, and the heat can be taken away more easily. In addition, there is no sunlight to supplement the heat, so the temperature will drop faster. Generally speaking, the higher the altitude, the lower the temperature at night."
Luo Xiaomeng, who had not spoken much, adjusted the black-rimmed glasses on his face and said.
"Moreover, we happen to be staying next to a mountain stream. There is more water vapor here. The increased air humidity will make people feel more humid and cold, and the chill will become more obvious. This is normal."
After she finished speaking.
Shen Ling looked at her with a hint of complaint.
Frowning, he said, "Xiao Meng, since you knew this would happen, why didn't you tell me earlier? How can you sleep at night when it's so cold today?"
Hearing Shen Ling's words, Cao Fei and Lu Yang also cast dissatisfied looks over them, with a little blame in their eyes.
It was as if they didn't have to come here.
However.
Faced with everyone's reaction, Luo Xiaomeng looked calm.
It seems that this situation has become commonplace.
She just shook her head and explained with a hint of helplessness in her tone.
"I have only accidentally seen relevant descriptions in books before. Who would have expected that the actual temperature in this mountain would drop so drastically."
At this point, she paused for a moment, as if something suddenly occurred to her, and then continued.
"However, we can look around to see if there is any place like a cave entrance in the rock wall. If we can find it, it should be warmer if we stay inside."
Several people had no objections to the method proposed by Luo Xiaomeng.
After all, the surrounding coldness was getting stronger and stronger at this time, and a layer of gray-white mist had risen in the forest. The mist spread, making the entire atmosphere even colder.
In addition, when they climbed the mountain before, their bodies had sweated a lot, and now the cold wind was blowing.
The chill penetrated directly into the seams of my bones, and I felt colder than before. I could only try this method first.
A few people put away their tents and took a few steps. Suddenly, they noticed a bright light in the distance.
Look carefully.
It turned out to be a village.
