Chapter 4 - Chapter 4: Lost

This mountain is too big, and the map is not very clear. It is really difficult to find the flag, but she is not someone who will give up easily, so how could she give up halfway! But thinking about the strange phenomenon she encountered just now and what the woman said makes people shudder. Is there really something strange about this mountain? She was shocked by her own thoughts. She was an atheist. How could she believe in any curse! She shook her head with some amusement and denied her thoughts, but the feeling of uneasiness always lingered in her heart.

"Jin'er, do you have any ideas?" Chu Feifan walked to Jin'er's side and blocked the grass in the middle of the road for her.

Su Jin'er shook her head and said, "No, I just feel a little uneasy."

Chu Feifan looked at the beautiful girl in front of him. She was admirable for her calmness just now. He thought that a girl like her should be the kind of person who would scream when seeing animal bones, but her calmness completely exceeded his imagination.

Su Jin'er, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped. She stood quietly. The wind blew her soft black hair, exuding a faint smell of shampoo.

"What's wrong?"

Everyone looked at her serious expression and began to feel uneasy.

The humidity in the woods was heavy, and the leaves on the ground smelled damp, and everyone showed a heavy expression.

Su Jin'er put her index finger on her lips and made a silent gesture.

After a while, she looked in a certain direction and said, "I seem to hear someone crying."

Her words were like a bomb dropped in the crowd, and everyone's heart began to get nervous. Thinking of the woman and the things she burned just now, they felt their scalps tingling.

"It seems to be a woman's voice." Zuo Yi walked to Su Jin'er and said.

"Could it be the woman just now?" Lin Yuan said.

The chair shook his head.

"No, the woman's voice just now sounded sad and desperate, and this voice sounded resentful."

Chu Feifan continued.

"Well, and it should be a young woman."

Su Jin'er still looked forward and said seriously.

"You three can open a detective agency together." Du Xiaonan said with a smile, and because of her joke, everyone felt much better.

"Don't worry about the crying, just find the flag and leave this damn place!" Zhang Junsheng, who had been silent all the time, suddenly said. He was a boy with an ordinary appearance. It seemed that he was a little withdrawn. He was not willing to talk to everyone. He just walked at the back with a stick.

Everyone stopped talking and agreed to find the flag and leave. Although Su Jiner always felt that the voice made her uneasy, she did not forget the purpose of coming here.

No strange things happened along the way, and everyone walked with their own thoughts. Lin Yuan held Su Jiner's hand and kept chirping. In her words, it was to adjust the atmosphere. No one spoke, making the air more depressing. And Xu Lingling still followed Chu Feifan carefully, pulling his clothes from time to time to act coquettishly.

At this time, the damp smell in the air was more obvious, and the temperature around seemed to drop several degrees in an instant. Xu Lingling, who was wearing a skirt, shivered with cold.

After she sneezed several times in a row, Chu Feifan had to give her his clothes.

"The flag should be nearby! Let's look for it." Chu Feifan said with a map.

The location of the flag was marked where they were now, but no one had seen it yet.

To the left of where they were standing was a slope, which seemed to be very deep. Because there were many trees and some unknown grass, the bottom could not be seen. At this time, Su Jiner stood on the edge of the slope and looked down. There seemed to be something there that had been attracting her.

Suddenly, her peripheral vision swept across a red object. She leaned forward and then she saw the red corner of the flag.

"The flag is there." Her voice was very light, but it was enough for everyone to hear. There was no sound except the sound of wind in the woods and the "squeaking" sound of stepping on the leaves. So far, they had not even heard the sound of birds. How could there be no birds in such a large forest?

Hearing her words, Chu Feifan walked to her side, looked at her and said, "I'll go down to get it, you wait."

"I'll go down!" Zuo Yi suddenly said.

Zuo Yi is also a very handsome boy. He and Chu Feifan are both very quiet boys, the kind that people like at first sight. He seems to be good friends with Chu Feifan. Although they didn't say a few words along the way, the look in their eyes when they looked at each other was enough to explain their relationship.

Chu Feifan thought about it, nodded and said, "Okay, be careful."

Because the flag was inserted halfway up the slope, you have to go down to get it. Because the coach said that a rope might be used when coming here, each group has a rope. They tied the rope around Zuo Yi's waist, and then several boys grabbed the rope to prevent him from accidentally falling down.

"I really don't understand why the school put the flag in such a dangerous place." Du Xiaonan said dissatisfiedly, she looked at Zuo Yi's eyes full of concern.

"The profession of a doctor is not a one-person job. It requires everyone's efforts. So the school should be testing our team spirit by doing this."

Su Jin'er remembered what her mother had said.

Everyone stopped talking and nervously watched Zuo Yi's figure going down. Knowing that everyone could only see the black hair on his head, everyone held their breath and waited anxiously until Zuo Yi's voice came from below and said, "I got it. Pull me up." Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Zuo Yi, who was pulled up, made their hearts tense again, because Zuo Yi's face was pale and bloodless.

"What did you see?"

"White bones, a lot." He answered simply, and he seemed to have not come out of fear yet.

Hearing his words, everyone took a breath and was glad that it was not them who went down.

Sure enough, this place is really not simple.

"Damn it! Since you have got the flag, hurry down the mountain!" Zhang Junsheng said dissatisfiedly. He seemed to have a lot of opinions about this military training. His brows were tightly furrowed all the way.

"Let's go back along the original route."

After knowing that there were bones under the slope, no one was willing to stand by the side anymore, and they all hid far away.

Su Jin'er deliberately walked at the back. She had something to ask Zhang Junsheng. This boy seemed to know something about this mountain. She herself didn't know why she had to investigate this mountain. It was a place she had never been to before, so she shouldn't have such a strong feeling, but she always felt that there was a mysterious force attracting her, and this mountain seemed to have some connection with her.

When everyone was a distance away from them, Su Jin'er asked, "Zhang Junsheng, you seem to know something about this place."

Hearing her words, Zhang Junsheng was distracted for a moment. He looked at Su Jin'er's beautiful face, then lowered his head and said, "How is it possible? This is my first time here."

"You're lying!" she said sternly. "You have been full of fear since entering this mountain. Although you hide it well, your eyes can't deceive me."

Zhang Junsheng looked at her again. Her long eyelashes were like a veil, and her eyes were like a clear lake. No, it was more like a black hole shining with light than a lake, attracting him to sink infinitely. In an instant, he seemed to have his soul sucked away by her.

He turned his head away in panic and stopped looking at her: "So what if it is? I have the right to remain silent."

His words seemed to be a nail in her heart. He was right. She had no right to ask others to tell her anything. Was it because she watched too much Sherlock Holmes that she was so sensitive?

"Sorry, I was too nervous."

Hearing her apology, Zhang Junsheng also felt that he was too straightforward. He blushed and said: "It doesn't matter. Let's catch up with them as soon as possible!"

After that, he strode forward.

It was getting darker and darker, and everyone was exhausted, but they still couldn't find the way down the mountain. They seemed to be lost.

"How did you lead the way? Didn't you say to return the original route? Where is the original route?" Xu Mengguang was getting more and more irritated. The white shadow that flashed by just now had been lingering in his mind, and now his legs were shaking with fear.

"We seem to have been going around in circles." Su Jin'er pointed to a tree and said, "I put a stone under this tree an hour ago. Look! This is it."

She pointed to a stone under a tree and said.

This stone is very special, round without any edges.

"Did you remember it wrong?" Du Xiaonan asked, holding her arm.

"We have indeed been going around in circles, but I led the way according to the map!"

"Maybe we encountered a ghost wall." Li Yiqian, who had been silent all the time, finally spoke.

Ghost wall?

This word was like a heavy hammer, hitting everyone's heart heavily.

"Please! Please don't talk nonsense, okay?" Xu Lingling said with her neck shrunk.

Everyone was getting more and more scared, and they were at a loss as they watched the sky getting darker and darker.

I don't know if the other students have returned to the car, and they are anxiously waiting for their return.

"Don't worry, let's try again." Chu Feifan and Zuo Yi tried hard to identify the map. Because it was dark, they could hardly see it.

Su Jin'er took out a flashlight from her bag to illuminate them. This was a habit she had developed since she was a child. She still remembered that when she was ten years old, she was at her grandmother's house. One night, she came home late because she was too playful, so Qiangzi took her home. But on the way, she accidentally stepped on a soft thing, and then she found out by the moonlight that it was a dead snake that was crushed. Since then, carrying a flashlight with her has become her habit.

With Su Jin'er's flashlight, they walked again according to the map. An hour later, they returned to the place marked with stones.

Xu Lingling couldn't hold it in any longer, squatting on the ground and crying loudly.

"Shut up, do you want to invite ghosts? Don't you think we are unlucky enough?" Zhang Junsheng said loudly.

Xu Lingling's crying was cut off in the air.

"Damn it, how come we still met? We shouldn't have come at all."

Zhang Junsheng sat down under a tree while talking, and his mood was extremely depressed.

With tears on her face, Xu Lingling raised her head, looked at Chu Feifan innocently and said, "What should we do? I don't want to sleep here."

"Are you the only one who doesn't want to sleep here? Stop crying there, okay? We are already upset enough, don't make things worse." Lin Yuan finally couldn't stand it anymore.
