Volume 3 Chapter 11 Transformation
I put on my backpack and walked out of the hotel with the two girls to see the terrain of the hill opposite. There was no other shortcut except the road we had walked down before. The mountain over there was very steep, all formed by granite, some of which were as steep as a cut and as smooth as a mirror. The only way was to follow the rugged path and climb back to the hill.
The three of us were in good physical condition, and without Wang Zijun as a burden, it only took us more than half an hour. The hill didn't look very high at first, but now looking ahead, there are canyons and deep trenches everywhere, covered with a thin layer of clouds. It can't be said to be a hundred feet deep, but it must be dozens of stories high.
Shen Bing stuck out her tongue, her beautiful eyes filled with fear. I also felt my heart beating a little, and I really couldn't imagine how Qu Mo climbed up.
Qu Mo pointed to the deepest ravine in the distance and said, "That's the place." I was a little hesitant. Although this place doesn't seem too far away, we have to go down through a canyon and cross two ridges. It's already past four o'clock, and it will probably be dark when we get there. It's not a good idea to find someone at night and play hide-and-seek with that ghost thing.
Shen Bing didn't think too much, and shouted, "Let's go quickly," and went downstairs. Qu Mo looked at me, she was very considerate, as if she saw through my thoughts and said, "No, let's come back tomorrow morning."
I nodded at Shen Bing's back and said, "She's gone down. If we ask her to come back, we'll have to talk some nonsense. Let's try to get there before dark. Besides, with your help, we can get rid of that ghost thing."
Qu Mo nodded and said, "Yeah, I think so too."
As I walked down the mountain, I thought about the evil spirit in her. It must have been a powerful monster that had stayed in her body for more than ten years. But why did it have no other symptoms except growing a tail and becoming like Spider-Man? Could it be that this monster was willing to be controlled by her and had no thoughts of its own?
This girl is very smart, some things are not easy to get out of her, if she doesn't tell me anything, I can't expect to get more information. Besides, she is used to it, why should I bother myself?
It was easy to go down the mountain. Shen Bing ran very happily and waited for us in front of us. When I walked up to her, she came up and crossed my arm very cutely, looking very affectionate, and said with a smile: "Walk faster."
I was flattered by this. She actually took the initiative to be so intimate with me. I wondered if she had any ulterior motives. My heart was pounding, and I followed her down the mountain quickly, leaving Qu Mo far behind. She let go of me again, and warned me with a gloomy face: "Don't think too much. I saw that you and Qu Mo were very tacitly chatting together, and I was afraid that you couldn't control yourself and were attracted to her."
I almost burst out laughing. I turned around and saw that Qu Mo hadn't caught up with me. I asked her quietly, "Are you jealous?"
"Bah, I'm doing this for your own good. You shouldn't tease your friend's wife, and I'm afraid you'll break this rule." She rolled her eyes and glared at me.
What kind of reason is this? Besides, this is not a rule, it is just a moral bottom line. It has become a rule for her. I quickly said, "Okay, okay, lust is a knife above my head. I will never break this rule. Well, you don't have a boyfriend, and even if you do, he is not my friend. I am attracted to you, so it is not against the rules, right?"
"Country bumpkin, you'll be unhappy if you don't grind your teeth with me for a day, right? I don't want to bother with you." Shen Bing turned her head away after saying that, but I saw a slight blush on her face.
Qu Mo seemed to see Shen Bing's intention to pull me away, and followed closely behind. She was such a sensible girl. Shen Bing and I kept bickering along the way, which greatly satisfied my psychological needs. We entered the canyon unknowingly.
The cliffs on both sides were steep and straight, about ten meters wide, with crooked pine trees sticking out from the cliffs, twisted and crooked, and ugly no matter how you look at it. I finally saw a big straight tree, with two round bulging rocks protruding on both sides. How could it grow? It was so damn ugly.
Shen Bing pointed at the tree and shouted, "Look, why is this tree so straight..." When she said this, she probably saw the whole picture, her face turned red, and she glared at me: "What are you looking at, hooligan!" Her face turned even redder, and she ran away in a hurry.
I laughed out loud. It wasn't a picture that men shouldn't see. How could I be considered a hooligan? This girl always framed me.
Qu Mo walked towards me with his head lowered. I quickly stopped laughing, pretended to be very serious, coughed twice, and walked forward.
"Master Xi, that tree looks a bit strange." Qu Mo caught up with me and said.
"Which tree?" I turned to her and asked.
"That's the one." She raised her hand and pointed at the tall, straight tree.
I was a little overwhelmed, how could this girl be so open and bold, daring to point at that look in front of men, and not ashamed. But after taking a few glances, it was indeed very strange. I just laughed and didn't think much about it. Now I look carefully, the tree trunk has been artificially repaired, there are no extra branches, only a lonely tree crown.
The tree was about 30 meters above the ground, and the stone wall was steep and smooth. Only big birds could fly up to it, so how could people go up to prune the tree? Also, the tree was faintly red in color. At first I thought it was a red pine, and the red bark was nothing to note. Now I can see from the tree crown and branches that it is a white pine!
The root of the tree was dark, and it looked like it was not a stone wall, but a cave entrance. I looked up, and the more I looked, the more I felt something was wrong. For no reason, goose bumps appeared on my back. Could this tree be related to that ghost thing?
Qu Mo whispered, "You and Sister Shen Bing go forward first, don't let her look back, I'll go up and take a look."
"It's so high, can you climb up?" I gasped when I looked at the height.
"I have a solution. Just keep an eye on Sister Shen Bing." Qu Mo said calmly.
At this time, Shen Bing saw the two of us standing there mumbling to each other, and waved at us and shouted, "Let's go, it will be dark if we don't leave now."
I nodded to Qu Mo and said, "Then be careful, we'll be waiting for you out front." Then I quickly ran to Shen Bing.
"You don't learn your lesson again. If you really break the rules, how can you still have the face to see Zijun?" Shen Bing turned her head away angrily and walked forward.
"Why are you so worried? We just stopped to discuss how to get rid of the ghost."
"You are fooling fools. You two are pointing at that tree. Aren't you ashamed?" Shen Bing said with a blush on her face.
This is really hard to explain. Qu Mo and I were so focused on studying the tree that we couldn't get away with it. So I surrendered: "This little girl doesn't know anything. She was just curious about the tree. I explained it to her so she wouldn't get the wrong idea. I did this to be responsible for Zijun."
"I'll trust you this time. I know you're not that kind of person." A smile appeared on Shen Bing's lips.
We walked forward quickly. Since Qu Mo was following us from a distance, Shen Bing didn't care that she didn't follow us. I secretly looked back. Oh my god, I saw Qu Mo climbing up the stone wall like a monkey. No, monkeys can hardly climb on such smooth stone walls, unless they are geckos. There were a lot of tails hanging from her buttocks. Each tail was round and very thick. I couldn't tell what animal it was from.
No wonder Shen Bing said she saw something like a peacock spreading its tail. That was Qu Mo. This is what she would look like if she grew a tail!
"What are you looking back at?" Shen Bing's voice was full of doubt.
I thought to myself, oh no, I must not let her come back!
