I looked at Zhou Tingmao and said nothing.
He also looked at me for a long while, then laughed like he was crying: "Are you...I...are you hungry? Do you want to eat...eat primates?"
I was staring at him with a complicated look of vigilance, holding my breath ready for him to distort at any moment, but when I heard these words out of the blue, my mind went blank.
"ah?"
Then a head popped out from the side, still holding the black pot he had escaped from, and asked in surprise, "Where is the monkey?"
Another surprised face popped up: "Ah? Water monkey?"
Zhou Tingmao looked at the two young men in bathrobes who came over with despair, took a deep breath, straightened his chest and looked at me solemnly.
The two were originally smiling, but seeing Zhou Tingmao's reaction, they were stunned and looked at me cautiously with some hesitation. I had no expression on my face.
The remaining one, who was older and wearing a bathrobe, couldn't help but stick his head over here. When he saw the three people huddled in front of me like quails, he dared not breathe and hesitated and secretly shrank back again.
“…”
They are really cowards, but I am not blind. They all have roots growing on their feet and bubbles on their chests. They are obviously abnormal.
I was a little stunned, thinking what the hell, you guys are such a freak, why are you acting like you are seeing a ghost? But I also realized that things were not as I thought.
Seeing that I looked unhappy, the two of them nudged Zhou Tingmao with their elbows and whispered, "How much do you owe? Selling a kidney? How can you catch up with him?"
I angrily said what a mess, and asked Zhou Tingmao to explain to me clearly what he meant by what he said just now, and what was going on here. What was the female corpse that was chasing us just now?
This girl looked at me blankly and sadly. I didn't know what was going on in her mind, but her mouth was tighter than a clam shell.
The female guide who was looking for fish in the stream came over and looked at us hesitantly. After thinking for a long time, she finally made up her mind and pointed at her chest and said seriously, "Can you see this?"
My eyelids twitched.
"...It's true." She murmured, a little bit unbelievable, but immediately came to her senses and asked me to come aside to talk in detail.
I had not expected that things would develop to this point. Although she looked very inhuman, I still had some respect for this female tour guide who saved people even when she was escaping, so I walked to the corner with her, holding the lamp.
What the female tour guide told me next was a very confusing and absurd story.
According to her, they were trapped in the mountain a few days ago and were chased by the huge female corpse with a human face once.
"——The belly of the mountain?"
"Yes, in the belly of the mountain." The female tour guide was still frightened. "At that time, our self-driving tour group took shelter in a cave because of a serious landslide in the rainstorm." She paused, her expression a little bitter. "Later, someone said there was a tunnel in the cave, and there must be a cave inside. They took an empty mineral water bottle and said they wanted to go deep into the cave to get water and take pictures."
…
According to the self-driving tourists at the time, it was a particularly suitable weather for traveling. The sun was high in the sky but there was a light drizzle, and the rainbow was very beautiful.
The tour guide was in a large group, introducing the mountains, rivers, maple leaves and willow forests to the tourists along the way. In fact, the scenery in the mountains is just these, and many of the so-called allusions and legends were made up by her on the spot, but she has good eloquence and most people listen attentively.
As they were talking, the tour guide discovered that there were a few wild "travelers" who were joining the group.
She frowned at the time and wanted to chase the man away, but she was afraid that the other person was the kind of shameless old fox who would do something bad.
As I was hesitating, a young stranger who was on a free tour came to me and said nervously that it was going to rain. He also said that the underground water in this valley was prone to rising tides and would spit back to the surface, and advised tourists to stay away as much as possible.
The young man was wearing a pair of glasses and spoke a little reservedly. He didn't know where to put his hands during the few short sentences.
The tour guide got angry when he heard his alarmist remarks, but he didn't know that the remaining few people were even more outrageous, talking nonsense, pointing fingers and sighing.
She heard all these unlucky things and felt dissatisfied, so she immediately frowned, pulled up her sleeves and was about to chase the person away.
It was at this time that the vision seemed a little blurry. Although there were no actual raindrops falling, the sound of rain did turn into a patter, and then into a heavy rain. The sound of heavy rain and thunder came rolling in from nowhere.
The man in the group, a young couple, immediately said exaggeratedly: "There's only noise but no rain. It must be a heavy rainstorm approaching us not far away! Hurry up, find a place to hide from the rain!"
The other tourists had been watching the fun, and they seemed to think that this was some kind of arranged entertainment. Upon hearing this, they all started laughing and clamoring to search the mountain for caves.
The tour guide tried to persuade them to go back to the tour bus and wait for shelter, but the more they persuaded, the more excited they became. Some people even searched Baidu on their phones, saying that this was some unique scientific phenomenon and the principle was so and so, and they were also very excited.
At this point, the tour guide couldn't let the group wander around aimlessly, so he patiently reorganized the team, and the group set off towards the mountainside in a mighty procession.
As a result, strangely enough, the further we walked, the more humid the air became, as if there were really sporadic raindrops falling.
Those few who were trying to stay in the group also fell behind the main group, looking up at the sky from time to time, as if rain was an extremely terrible thing.
Especially the one wearing glasses, he was so timid that he wanted to cry, but the tour guide always felt a little confused when looking at him and couldn't explain why.
In this way, a group of people pushed and shoved to the mountainside. The tour guide was still worrying about where to find a cave when he heard a cheer from the team.
She raised her head and looked at the mountain path that she was very familiar with, and was stunned.
There actually is a cave that I have never seen before.
"You... you know that feeling? Even though it's just an inconspicuous wild valley, the selling point of our tour group is to randomly find lost beauty. But..."
Speaking of this, the tour guide felt a little difficult and unbelievable.
"But we have personally traveled many times on several routes and confirmed their safety. We have also specially created some scenery to guide tourists. This situation will never happen!"
I understood what she meant. Even though I knew that the "person" in front of me was strange, I was still affected by her tone and my palms were slightly sweaty.
The tour guide continued, saying that she immediately felt uneasy and stopped the tourists from entering.
But the next moment, the sound of wind and rain exploded, and the raindrops that were only heard before really fell on their heads, and the group of people were instantly soaked. There was a loud bang in the distance, and a hillside somewhere shook faintly, as if a mudslide had begun.
At this time, they could only hide from the rain. Everyone rushed into the cave, except the couple who held up the umbrella they brought with them and were surprised and intoxicated in front of the cave.
As if by chance, the air in the cave was not fishy or turbid, the ground was flat, and the top was even high. The tourists entered the cave and walked around leisurely, watching the rain without realizing the seriousness of the situation.
The young couple was still whispering sweet words in front of the cave when a flash of lightning flashed across the sky. The girl was suddenly stunned, staring blankly into the rain, and suddenly screamed in fear.
The tour guide's hair stood on end, and he didn't care about anything else. He rushed forward and dragged the two men into the cave one by one.
There was a sudden commotion in the cave. The young man with glasses hurried forward and asked nervously what happened and what was in the rain.
The girl was still pale and distracted, and couldn't answer at all. But he didn't seem to care about her at all, and kept asking questions hurriedly, and was almost punched in the face by the man.
Most of the tourists in the cave knew each other and they all came out to protect the young couple and were very rude to the four-eyed man.
The tour guide was overwhelmed when he saw this, but he still persuaded both parties in a gentle manner. After the girl stopped crying, he handed her a tissue, squatted down and asked her softly what she had seen.
The answer she got was so outrageous that the girl couldn't explain it and she didn't even see anything.
In just a moment, it was as if the distant fear engraved deep in her genes was aroused, like a frog suddenly stared at by a snake in the dark. The sudden and huge fear destroyed the girl's sanity in an instant.
This answer was obviously unsatisfactory, but others couldn't say much after all.
Only the bespectacled young man immediately shouted and rushed into the depths of the cave without looking back.
Coincidentally, the tour guide suddenly felt something was wrong. How come there seemed to be a very deep tunnel in this cave that was not clearly visible due to the lighting from the mobile phone?
It must have been a very long tunnel, because the hurried footsteps of Siyan kept getting smaller and smaller until they could no longer be heard after he ran in. He must have run several hundred meters at least.
The few people who had joined the group with him suddenly felt embarrassed. They looked at each other and hesitated, discussing whether they should follow him and call the people back.
The one who had been making a fuss to hide from the rain in the tour group smiled and turned to the tour guide, saying with some contempt, "Are these all hired by you? What are you doing here? Those things outside are not artificial rain and sound effects, are they?"
The tour guide was shocked and said "idiot" in her heart, but the man became more and more confident as he spoke. He took out an empty mineral water bottle and said rudely to her chest: "Your attractions better be fun. I remember your work number."
After saying that, he walked in first and wanted to get some mountain spring water to take pictures.
The tour guide watched him walk in speechlessly. His footsteps sounded about seven or eight times. The man was cursing and saying it was boring. Suddenly, he exclaimed in surprise.
"Is there a door?"
There were two knocks, as if someone was knocking on the door, and then the person fell silent for unknown reasons.
At this moment, the cave suddenly became quiet.
Several tourists looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.
For some reason, the tour guide immediately understood the girl's unreasonable fear and walked out immediately, regardless of how strong the wind and rain were.
She originally wanted to call everyone to get out of the cave together, but at that moment, the raindrops outside the cave fell on her heart. She shuddered inexplicably and felt as if something was surging in her chest.
She almost subconsciously became aware that there was something wrong with the rain and regretted not bringing an umbrella.
"——I had an umbrella at the time." Among the couple who were still lying there gasping for breath, the girl said to me with some uneasiness and regret, "I saw how nervous she was, so I went over and held an umbrella for her. As a result, the result was..."
I have a headache.
Firstly, there was something very wrong with the story just now; and secondly, I was thinking back to why Zhou Tingmao had such a big and tragic reaction just because he got a pair of glasses that happened to suit his taste from me.
My eyes swept across the tour guide, the female couple, and Zhou Tingmao's absent-minded face, and finally returned to them. Looking at the pile of aerial roots that seemed to be parasitic in their bodies and gradually eating away at them, all sorts of thoughts were about to come out, and my back felt a little numb.
"……May all your wishes come true?"
The tour guide and the girl looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
"I don't know about other people, but at that time, I was really bored and hoped to see something exciting."
The boy in the couple suddenly spoke up, his face looking very depressed: "The moment I came out of the cave, I felt my chest suddenly itchy."
"As long as the wish is fulfilled to a certain extent, even if it's just someone kindly helping out with an umbrella, we have to pay the price? Is that right?"
