Chapter 1
One summer vacation, young people from five cities decided to go on a road trip to a
remote mountain area not even marked on a map.
The group consisted of three men and two women, all in their early twenties. They drove a red convertible,
laughing and singing along the way. They had heard that the mountain area was eerie and terrifying, but they loved adventure and challenges.
"A glass of Erguotou, tears streaming down your face, sheng, dan, jing, mo, chou, a hero never looks back..." The stereo blared deafeningly along the way
.
"Hey, hey...hey!" A quiet girl in a long skirt called out to the driver from the back seat. The driver couldn't hear her,
so she reached out and patted him. "Hey, Liu Feng, turn the volume down."
"Huh?" A young man in the driver's seat was
swaying his head and humming along to the music while turning the steering wheel. Feeling someone pat his shoulder, he turned around. Amidst the deafening music
, he could only see Xiao Mo's lips moving. He pricked up his ears and asked, "What did you say, Xiao Mo?"
"I said," Xiao Mo leaned forward, covering her ear with her hand, "The music is too loud, it's
almost deafening me."
Liu Feng then turned off the music, smiling sheepishly.
At this moment, A-Jie in the back seat said, "I have a bad feeling. My intuition tells me that something bad is going to happen on this trip
."
Xiao-Hai next to him said, "Shut your jinx. It's not like this is our first time on a road trip in the mountains
. What could possibly happen?"
A-Jie said, "But I feel that this mountain area is different. There's a kind of eerie feeling that's making my bones feel
cold."
Huang Yue, a girl wearing super short hot pants in the passenger seat, laughed and said, "What kind of eerie feeling could there be? It
's summer now. I still feel hot even in super short shorts..."
The driver, Liu Feng, smiled and said, "A-Jie, don't overthink it. Look, Huang Yue is a girl and she
's not scared. What's there for you, a grown man, to be afraid of?" As he spoke, Liu Feng's hand reached for
Huang Yue's leg.
"Hey, just drive properly and don't touch me like that," Huang Yue pushed Liu Feng's hand away and said coquettishly.
Liu Feng leered at Huang Yue and said, "What's wrong with touching? I'm going to touch you anyway, I'm going to touch you anyway, hehe
..."
Huang Yue didn't try to avoid him and reluctantly turned her head...
"Ah!—" As soon as she turned around, Huang Yue screamed.
An old man had appeared in front of them at some point, and Liu Feng immediately braked when he heard her scream.
But...
"Thump!" They still crashed into each other.
"What happened? What happened?... " The three people in the back seat couldn't see what was happening in front of them.
"We hit someone," Huang Yue said timidly.
Then, the driver, Liu Feng, rushed out of the door, followed by the other four who went out to check the situation.
Fortunately, they had only hit the victim's (an old man's) car—a dilapidated wooden cart, and the man
didn't seem to be injured.
"Really! Old man, why are you pushing that broken cart around like that? Don't you even watch where you're going!" Xiao Hai in the back seat
started complaining, "The villain is the one who complains first."
Xiao Mo nudged Xiao Hai, signaling him to stop making trouble, and then said to the old man, "Uncle, are you alright?
I'm so sorry, we accidentally bumped into you."
"Moo...moo..." the old man made muffled sounds, seemingly trying to say something.
Xiao Hai said, "Is this guy mute? He can only moo...hehe."
After a few minutes, they realized the old man didn't seem to be able to speak. Huang Yue said, "Let's go, he seems
alright."
Then they got back into the car and drove away.
They continued their journey into the mountains. In the car, A-Jie said, "That old man was so strange."
Xiao-Mo said, "He seemed unable to speak. Could he be a wild man?" Xiao-Hai said, "Probably. Did you see him? He was so dirty, like he hadn't 　　bathed
in decades ." 　　Liu-Feng, who was driving, said, "Indeed, I've never seen such a dirty person. His hair was bushy and messy 　　, like withered grass after a wildfire. And the flesh on his face was loose and sagging. I was worried that 　　a lump of flesh would suddenly fall off his face when he said that..." 　　At this moment, Huang Yue, a hot girl in the passenger seat, said, "Okay, okay, stop talking. I'm about 　　to be disgusted by what you're saying. I almost threw up when I saw that old man." 　　Xiao-Mo in the back seat stopped their discussion, saying, "Let's not talk about that old man like that. It's very 　　impolite. I think he's quite pitiful." 　　... 　　Not long after, their car suddenly stopped and started making a "whoosh-whoosh" sound. 　　Xiao Hai asked, "What happened?" 　　Liu Feng said, "The car seems to be broken; it won't start." 　　"Ah?!" A-Jie and Huang Yue exclaimed simultaneously. 　　What are they going to do? It's getting dark; are they going to have to spend the night in these mountains? 　　A-Jie, clinging to a sliver of hope, said, "Liu Feng, try starting it again." 　　Liu Feng, struggling, said, "It won't start. Judging from the sound, some part might have fallen off." 　　He slammed his fist on the steering wheel, cursing, "This damn car! Of all times, it had to break down now!" 　　Suddenly, A-Jie panicked, saying, "I told you there was something wrong with this forest. Everything today has been 　　so strange. I feel increasingly eerie here. Do you think there might be ghosts in this forest tonight 　　…?" 　　"Ah—" Huang Yue cried out, "You idiot A-Jie, don't scare me! I'm a scaredy-cat!" 　　At this moment, Liu Feng, who was outside repairing the car, said, "We can't figure out what's wrong with the car 　　right now. Looks like we'll have to spend the night here." 　　Huang Yue immediately objected, "I don't want to spend the night here, I'm scared." 　　Xiao Mo, in the back seat, was also timid, having never spent the night outdoors before, so she suggested, "We do 　　n't have to spend the night here, we have somewhere else to go."

The group asked simultaneously, "Where?"
Xiao Mo said, "It's the old man we hit half an hour ago. He seems to live in this mountainous area. We
can try to find his place; it shouldn't be too far from here."
The group thought it made sense. Although the old man was incredibly filthy and disgusting, they didn't have a better option at the moment . Even if the filthy old man was repulsive, it was still better than spending the night here. Who knows 　　what wild animals might be roaming in
these mountains ? 　　As the group packed their luggage and prepared to leave, Ah Jie suddenly said, "I don't want to go. I've always felt that old man was strange. Seeing him makes me feel even colder. I don't think we should go; 　　it's better 　　to stay here and spend the night." 　　Unable to persuade him otherwise, the others said, "Then Ah Jie, you stay here and watch the car. We'll come find you tomorrow morning. 　　Be careful, stay in the car at night and make sure the doors are locked. Hopefully, there aren't any 　　wild animals or anything like that in these mountains." 　　"Okay." 　　Afterward, the four of them said goodbye to Ah Jie and, flashlight in hand, went to find the old man's dwelling. 　　The old man's house was easy to find, as there was only one main road in the mountains. They walked along the road for less than 　　20 minutes and saw a mud house, from which came the clanging sound of blacksmithing. 　　"Bang! Bang! Bang!..." 　　Xiao Hai pounded on the wooden door roughly, shouting, "Old man? Old man? Come out quickly!" 　　Xiao Mo immediately stopped Xiao Hai's violence, gently knocking on the door and saying, "Uncle, are you in there? Our 　　car broke down on the road, and we'd like to stay here for the night..." Before she could finish speaking, the door creaked open. 　　The old man made unintelligible "moo...moo..." sounds, opening his right arm to let them in, his left 　　hand still holding the axe he had just been sharpening. 　　They initially exchanged a few polite words with the old man, but finding it almost like "talking to a brick wall," they simply stopped 　　talking to him. 　　In the end, the four of them sat around a dim kerosene lamp chatting, while the old man beside them chuckled eerily 　　, carefully observing each of their expressions, looking very strange. 　　After a while, Xiao Hai suddenly said, "I need to pee a little, I'm going out to find a place to relieve myself." 　　"Go quickly and come back quickly," Huang Yue instructed. 　　"Hmm." Xiao Hai closed the door and left, disappearing into the darkness. 　　... 　　Just as Xiao Hai left, the old man shakily opened the door and followed him out. The other three didn't think much of it and continued chatting 　　. 　　A long time passed, and Xiao Hai and the old man hadn't returned. Xiao Mo worriedly asked, "Why hasn't Xiao Hai come back yet? 　　Could something have happened?" 　　Liu Feng said, "What could have happened? Maybe he's just taking a dump nearby. You know, Xiao 　　Hai often eats junk food; maybe he has an upset stomach..." 　　As Liu Feng was speaking, the old man returned, making strange, unintelligible moans and gesturing wildly 　　. 　　Huang Yue looked at the old man and asked, "Where's Xiao Hai?" The words immediately seemed ridiculous; the old man 　　couldn't understand her. 　　Xiao Mo sensed something was wrong and tentatively asked, "Did something happen to Xiao Hai?" 　　Unexpectedly, this time the old man nodded vigorously. 　　Could it be that the old man understood her? 　　Before the three could think further, the old man stepped out of the house again, waving for them to follow. Then, all four 　　disappeared into the darkness. 　　"Xiao Hai... Xiao Hai..." they called out. It 　　was pitch black all around. Xiao Mo and Huang Yue, out of fear, held hands tightly. 　　After walking for a while, Xiao Mo suddenly realized Liu Feng's voice was gone and asked Huang Yue, 　　"Where's Liu Feng?" 　　"I don't know." Then, both of them called out simultaneously, "Liu Feng... Liu Feng, are you there?" 　　Then, two muffled thuds echoed in the air, and Xiao Mo and Huang Yue simultaneously lost consciousness. 　　... 　　The next morning, A-Jie woke up and, not finding the four of them, decided to go find them himself. When he 　　arrived at the old man's house, he was stunned by what he saw— 　　Liu Feng lay face down in a pool of blood, his head split in two by a sharp object, a gruesome death. 　　Not far away, Xiao Hai was headfirst in a well, his brains splattered everywhere. 　　Two tire tracks stretched out into the distance outside the gate... 　　In the distance, an old man shakily pulled a dilapidated wooden cart, which creaked all the way. On the wooden 　　planks lay Xiao Mo and Huang Yue, who had been knocked unconscious. Their clothes were torn into pieces and 　　fluttered wildly in the wind.
