Indiana Jones

Chapter 214

Not long after the car drove out, several people began to feel drowsy. No one had a good rest after a lot of tossing last night. After such a bumpy ride, everyone was in a daze.

Si Xuanyi had a dream when he was half asleep and half awake. He dreamed that a woman in white was thanking him. The woman was very young, but she was 25 or six years old, with a beautiful appearance, and there was a little sadness between her eyebrows. It was heavy, and he didn't take it seriously, he just found it strange that the woman said a lot, but he didn't take it seriously. Later, he basically understood that he was dreaming, but he just didn't wake up.

Suddenly, Si Xuanyi's heart trembled. He found that the clothes of the woman in front of him were very familiar, and they seemed to be exactly the same as that of the female ghost he saw last night... Thinking of this, he couldn't help but wake up with a jolt.

It was only then that Si Xuanyi realized that he was panting heavily, his body was covered in sweat, and everyone in the car was in a daze, as if no one had noticed his strangeness.

"How could you have such a dream?" Si Xuanyi lit a cigarette and thought about it while smoking. He thought about the dream just now, but found that basically he couldn't remember anything except the general story, let alone that dream. What did the woman say.

"She came to look for you?" The woodcutter's voice suddenly sounded from one side, not loud but clear.

"What?" Si Xuanyi didn't understand what he meant for a moment.

"Hmph..." The woodcutter didn't say much, but shook his head slightly.

Si Xuanyi suddenly understood what the woodcutter meant: "How do you know?"

The woodcutter sighed: "You are also considered her half-benefactor, no matter what, you can still save half of her remnant soul. Although it will inevitably be wiped out in the end, she can at least get a moment of freedom, which is also considered a good thing for her." A great gift.”

"But..." Si Xuanyi still felt that something was wrong, "Since I have kindness to her, why do you want to grab me and suck my yang energy?"

"Have you ever heard of starvation?" said the woodcutter. "She must have been unconscious when she was released, just like a person who is about to die of starvation and wants to take a bite of everything."

To be honest, Si Xuanyi didn't really believe the woodcutter's words. Although he respected the woodcutter even more after what happened last night and believed that he was an unfathomable old man, he still had reservations about the old man's nagging side. .

Seeing that he didn't speak, the woodcutter sneered and said, "This kind of thing is not common. You are lucky, but nothing happened when you encountered such a powerful thing."

"You came in time, otherwise I'm afraid..." Si Xuanyi shook his head.

The car drove all the way to the mountains, and finally reached a place where there were no mountain roads. They could only get out of the car and walk along the mountain with their own equipment on their backs. It is very hard to walk, but the scenery in the mountains is very good, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and the gurgling stream is also very interesting.

"I didn't expect it to be so cold in the mountains." When crossing a small stream, I was shivering because of the cold water.

"Haven't you been in the mountains before?" Zhang Dachuan squinted at Shi Dan with his mouth curled up. "It's still cold? It's even colder at night."

"How far?" Stan asked tremblingly.

"It's just entering the mountain. It's early." Li Siming looked at his watch and turned to ask the woodcutter, "Old man, how long is it?"

"Ask me?" The woodcutter squinted at him.

The old man's words were really awkward, Li Siming smiled and didn't ask any more questions.

"It will take at least two days. If the progress is not fast, I may not finish it in three days." Si Xuanyi said.

"There is no road at all, how can we tell the direction?" Zhang Shoucheng asked blankly looking at the dense forest.

"I haven't really entered the mountain yet, what's the rush?" the woodcutter said coldly.

"Haven't entered the mountains yet?" This sentence surprised Zhang Dachuan. He is a person who has been running in the mountains. According to common sense, this place should be considered a mountainous area. Why did the woodcutter say that?
"Oh, that's how it is. We will go to a mountain village tonight, where there is a guide waiting for us, and he will take us into the mountain." Si Xuanyi explained, "He is a local aborigine, and he knows a lot about the mountains. We have entered the depths of the real mountains, and we will avoid many detours with him."

"There is still a village in this kind of place?" Stan frowned, obviously not convinced.

"Hurry up, everyone, we will be in trouble if we can't find a good village before dark!" Si Xuanyi said loudly to everyone.

The road was quite difficult, and the group was very tired with their equipment on their backs. After several hours of trekking, there was a drizzle in the sky, and the mountain became even colder. Although they wore a lot of clothes and wrapped themselves in raincoats, Still shivering from the cold, what's more terrible is that the mountain under the rain is very slippery, and it is more difficult to walk than usual. As the distance goes deeper, the mountain becomes steeper and steeper. Added a ray of mystery.

"I can't go on anymore. The road is too slippery. It's too dangerous to go on like this. You may fall to your death at any time." Zhang Dali finally couldn't bear it anymore. He and Zhang Dachuan have been running around in the mountains all year round and know what danger is.

"Find a place to settle down first, and wait until the rain stops." Si Xuanyi also felt that this was not going to work, and finally decided to find a place to settle down after seeking the advice of the woodcutter.

It was not that difficult to find a place to stay in the mountains, and soon they found a very spacious cave, which stretched all the way into the depths of the mountain, and they didn't know where it led.

"That's right." Si Xuanyi nodded in satisfaction, "Stand up."

"Why is it so cold?" Stan kept shivering, he didn't quite understand why Si Xuanyi seemed to be very satisfied with this place.

Si Xuanyi is a person who has experienced the weird jungle of Savage Mountain, and knows how precious a suitable place to stay is. In Savage Mountain, they have to worry about a suitable place to spend the night almost every day, but here they don't have to worry about it at all, even in the open air Camping will not be too dangerous. Compared with Savage Mountain, this place can really be regarded as paradise.

Soon the bonfire started, and the temperature in the cave gradually increased. Several people sat around the fire to warm up and eat something. This time, Si Xuanyi specially brought in a batch of US military rations. , the main reason is that this thing is easy to carry, and they fully realized the convenience it brought them in Savage Mountain.

"We can't get to that village before dark." Li Siming continued to look at the map and said, "At least twenty miles of mountain roads, there is no way to go on in this weather."

"Then stay here overnight and leave early tomorrow morning." Si Xuanyi thought for a while and then asked the woodcutter beside him, "Old man, do you think this is okay?"

"Hmm..." The woodcutter nodded after pondering for a moment, "That's fine, instead of taking a risky journey, it's better to take a good rest and recover your strength. According to the time calculation, we are still within the scheduled time."
