Secret Track

Chapter 1 Old Sha-8

"The steel mill is not just digging out some porcelain tiles?" Dana said, "What can be the movement, black small a person guarding the line, I tell you, the steel plant will soon be acquired by the real estate company, then maybe to change people, we perform well, so that the director of Liu to me or say a good word, the rice bowl can also be held."

When Erzi heard this, he quickly said, "So that's what you're thinking about, it's not easy to find work these days, I'll listen to you."

Lao Sha heart on the funny, it seems that the steel mill in this young man, the head are poor strings, steel mill underground are in big trouble, they still know nothing, baba ran out to help the villagers find the child. No wonder several people are thinking about the steel mill, like a fool carrying a stack of money, hanging around in the street. All the people are red-eyed thinking about it, slowly approaching, ready to grab, but the fool himself still does not know anything.

The three men walked to the edge of the dark forest, which was surprisingly dark. The moon also went into the black clouds, and the light was even darker.

Lao Sha saw Erzi's body shaking, Dana also saw it and scolded Erzi, "What are you afraid of, don't you have me here?"

"You also know that ah," the second son and just take out the words to say things, "this forest at night young people can not enter, under thirty years old are not allowed, I and black little not run back to the steel mill, is looking for children of the villagers to shoo us away."

Dana said, "That's all you've got, let's go." Then one head went down the path and into the woods.

Old Sha also followed into the forest, once into the forest, old Sha immediately felt cold, goose bumps on the body are out, the forest must be a problem, the heavy Yin gas.

Second son at the edge of the forest, a moment afraid to go in, but saw Dana and Lao Sha went in, gradually lost figure, around the dilemma, just an owl call, second son scared a shiver, and quickly shouted at the back of Dana and Lao Sha, "You do not leave me ah, wait for me." And then trotted into the woods.

As a result, the second son of anxious, face touched a branch, the branch wrapped around thistles, the second son of hair to hook, the second son of fiddling with his hands for a long time, Dana waiting impatiently, came over to the second son to help. Handy for a while, before the branch from the second child's hair to pull down, the branch and thistles are broken off.

Dana was about to throw away the branch in his hand. Old Sha suddenly shouted: "Don't throw it!"

Dana took the branch and asked Lao Sha, "What's wrong?"

Old Sha pointed to the branch on Dana's hand, "Look for yourself."

Dana this just look at the hand branches and thistles, there is a bent thin branch, close to the eyes to see. Only to find that this is really not a branch, but a semi-circular thing, the second son looked, shouted, "This is not the girl wearing a hairpin on her head!"

Dana and Erzi just lowered their heads and looked around.

"What are you looking for?" Old Shah asked.

"Look for the child," said Dana, "this girl's hairpin is lost here, and the person may not be far away."

"The two children are definitely not here." Lao Sha said calmly.

"What do you mean by that?" Dana asked Lao Sha.

"When Erzi ran in just now, why did he get tangled up in branches and thistles?" Lao Sha asked.

"He panicked."

"Yeah." Lao Sha went on to say, "That girl, like Erzi, panicked and ran towards the woods, so her hair got tangled, and as a result, she didn't even care about the hairpin, so you say she continued to run for her life next, or stayed here and didn't move."

Dana and the second son once heard Lao Sha so analysis, and quickly nodded, "Yes, yes, it is really so."

But Erzi felt that something was wrong and asked Lao Sha, "You said these two children know that the forest should not enter, they are afraid of the forest is very scary, why would blindly run inside?"

"Is it necessary to ask," replied Old Sandy in a low voice, "because there is something outside the woods that scares them even more."

The second son heard, the legs are going weak, and hurriedly gave his hand to support in the body of Dana.

Dana originally wanted to say Lao Sha two sentences, but felt that Lao Sha has a point, the second son's hand to push away, take the girl's hairpin slowly deep into the woods.

Old Sha kept poking around the forest environment, the more you look at the more bizarre, the forest is full of trees, all dead, net sticks and dead branches, there are really not many trees with leaves.

Lao Sha then asked, "How long have you been here."

"I've been here for three years," Dana said, "and Blackie and Ernie came last year."

Old Sha differently asked, "You have been here for so long, you have not heard of the weirdness of this forest?"

"Why have not heard," the second son hastily replied, "I have heard a lot, but Dana does not believe it."

"It's all a lot of gods and goddesses," Dana said, "and I don't believe in it."

Lao Sha said to Erzi: "Left and right is walking, you tell me about it."

"Ah ......" Erko opened her mouth, "to say that at this time ......"

"No matter how it used to look," said Lao Sha, "now that something happened in the forest, the belief has to be believed."

Dana said in a good-natured way, "Then you tell him, Erzi. What is going on in this black forest."

The second son trembled on the open, the original black forest is not far from the town of Hu Fu, from ancient times to the present are not much people have come in, the forest has never been nothing beasts flying birds, often on the edge of the forest to see animal carcasses, do not know what reason, died on the edge of the forest. So the locals called the forest black forest, meaning that it is dark and gloomy, a living thing are not.

Of course, people have gone in, adults generally go in okay, but there are rumors that young people go in and can not get out. So it became a taboo, people under 30 years old, do not go in.

One more thing is also a taboo, is not to cut firewood in the forest. In the rural areas of the north, every family has to burn a bed in winter, but no one dares to cut firewood in the forest, but only in the nearby barren hills to get firewood. During the Great Leap Forward in the 1950s, a few daring commune members did not believe in the evil and insisted on cutting trees in the forest. As a result, seven or eight people went in and didn't get a single piece of wood out. People were scared out of their minds, asked what they saw, could not say. One of them was scared silly, and now wandering around the town.

Lao Sha listened to the second son's complaint, his heart calculating, this kind of place, he had been in contact with before, usually like this, there is a kind of science can not explain the force at work. Then a lot of strange things appear.

Second son finished this paragraph, the three people gradually have walked deep into the forest. Dana then said, "We have also walked for several minutes, how a villager looking for children can not be seen."

When Lao Sha heard this, his heart muttered, so he asked Erzi, "Are you sure it's the two kids who got lost? Those villagers are looking for them?"

"Of course," said Erko, "I was at the door with Blackie, and saw them, and was talking about it in droves."

"You two outsiders are the only ones in the village?"

"Yes," said Erzi, "that village is very poor, rent their house cheap, the others are too bad house, only me and black small to go live."

"The two children are not lost." Lao Sha said, "These villagers are fooling you and Blackie Little."

"What?" Dana said loudly, "Old Sha, what do you mean by saying that?"

"The stone dare," said Old Sha, "I just paid attention to this thing, this thing is indeed to suppress evil, but some places, will use children to guard it."

"You mean," Ernie said, "that the adults in the village actually know about this and they are deliberately acting in front of me?"

"At least the parents of the two children are anxious," Lao Sha said, "but it's something they can't say to more outsiders."

"Old Sandy," Dana asked, "how do you know all this stuff?"

"I was running around in my twenties, walking all over the country," Lao Sha explained, "I know a little more."

Dana and two children listened to Lao Sha's explanation and did not speak, the three people silently walking in the woods. After walking for about twenty minutes, Lao Sha said again, "We have to take a break before walking."

"Are you tired?" Dana asked.

"No, look at this." Old Sha pointed to a dead tree pole beside him with a fresh scratch on it, "I just left it. We were going around in circles."

"Ghosts hit the wall!" The second son was stunned at this point.

Dana got anxious and took the phone out, "Forget it, I'll call Chief Liu."

"The villagers have called the police." Erko said.

"But now we don't see the police at all, and we don't hear the sirens of the police cars." Lao Sha said, "The police can't come for a while, and they probably won't come to the Black Forest to look for people."

Dana took the phone and dialed the number, but it never worked, the old no signal sound.

"The signal is full," Dana said anxiously.

"You see the phone's signal is full, there is no use." Lao Sha said, "The signal grid shown inside the phone is not necessarily the signal of the communication base station."

Dana didn't believe it at all, still holding his old Nokia version to turn his body and find the signal. But the phone never works.

Lao Sha said coldly, "You stayed headphones did not."

"Why do you ask that," Dana asked Lao Sha, "that you can make calls with a headset?"

"No," Lao Sha said, "you plug in the headset and you can receive the waveform signal."

"Isn't that the radio?"

"That's what it means." Lao Sha replied.

"And I really do have my headphones on me," Dana, taking them out of his hand and rubbing them into the phone's jack.

Old Sha hastened to remind, "Cut the sound to the speakers."

Dana did as he was told. A noisy magnetic noise emanated from the phone's speaker.

"Try changing the frequency." Lao Sha continued to instruct Dana.

The second son suddenly said, "Lao Sha, don't do this, are you deliberately scaring us."

"If we don't understand what's going on," Old Sandy said, "we won't be able to walk out tonight, I'm fine, I'm over thirty."

"And what does that say?"

"It all says something to do with the disappearance of two children." Old Sha said gloomily, "The world is a dangerous place, what if they replaced them with two other young people."

"They clearly whisked me and Blackie away," Erko said unconvincingly, "how is that possible."

Old Sha also momentarily speechless, he can not explain this thing.
