Chapter 3 Breaking out of the dark forest

"Ah! Why is my hand broken?" Lin Yu himself was also surprised.

Lao Lin put the light on his son's hand. The bloody back of his hand was pulled out with a big cut, "Don't you know when you were injured?"

Lin Yu shook his head, "I don't know, I don't feel it at all!"

"An'an, take out the medicine box quickly."

"Oh, okay." Lin An was stunned and quickly went to look through Lin Yu's backpack.

Mother Lin, who was helping him wrap the bandage, asked doubtfully, "Doesn't it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt, I don't feel anything at all, it's amazing!"

"Silly boy, do you think this is a good thing?" Mother Lin wanted to punch this stupid son. She really didn't want to admit that she gave birth to him.

"Mom, look!"

Lin An, who was standing quietly on the side, suddenly shouted. Following the light of her mobile phone, a few drops of blood falling on the black leaves on the ground were seeping in little by little. In just a few seconds, the blood dripping on them could no longer be seen.

trace.

Is this blood-sucking!?

Seeing this, the four people gathered around were shocked. If even fallen leaves suck blood, you can imagine what kind of place this is. This is not a forest at all, but a devil's cave that sucks blood!

"Let's go, let's go!" Mother Lin wrapped the bandage randomly, and hurriedly dragged her son and daughter in the direction they were going. However, the woods, which were quite loose when they came just now, became crowded now.

.

"Do you feel like these trees are getting denser?"

Lao Lin, who was walking at the front with the lamp on, glanced around, and now he realized something was wrong.

"Son, look at your phone. Are we going in the wrong direction?"

The four people who were still walking forward were like a group of tourists holding candles in the dark night, looking around anxiously.

Lin Yu turned on his phone. The dial on the phone was pointing in the right direction, "Yes, it's this road."

But as they walked further, the trees became denser and denser. Mother Lin and her two children, who were holding hands with them, even had to turn sideways to walk across. This was obviously not the path they had just walked.

"When we came here just now, these trees were not so dense. Brother, is your phone broken? We went in the wrong direction."

"Probably not." Lin Yu looked down at the phone. As he swayed from side to side, the dial turned left and right. "Could it be that these trees are moving?"

"How is that possible?" Lin An immediately retorted, how could the tree move? This is common sense that even a three-year-old child knows.

Gaah——

As soon as there was a sudden strange sound, Mother Lin and the three of them were instantly plunged into darkness - Lao Lin who was walking in front just now disappeared!

"Lizhen!!"

Lao Lin, who squeezed between two trees, immediately turned his head when he heard the sound. When he saw the trees behind him completely closing into a tree wall, his heart suddenly rose to his throat and he screamed.

"Can you hear me, Old Lin!"

"dad--!"

Three voices came from behind the tree wall, "Are you okay?" Lao Lin threw himself down on the tree wall and slapped the dark tree trunk hard.

On Mother Lin's side, Lin Yu and Lin An both turned on the flashlights on their mobile phones, but the light was very weak. It seemed that the forest not only sucked blood, but also light.

"These trees can really move, Mom, what should I do?" Lin Yu struck the tree trunk with his machete and pulled it out angrily.

"Old Lin, these trees can move, we have to find a way out."

While talking, Lin Yu slashed twice more, but it did not cause much damage, leaving only a few shallow marks on the dark tree trunk.

Soon the sound of chopping down a tree was heard from the opposite side, "This tree is really hard." Before he could chop a few times, Lao Lin found that the kitchen knife in his hand was curled.

Lin Yu slashed hard for a long time, gasping for breath, and then he came up to take a look, and then chopped off his thumb and said, "This won't work. The tree will not be broken later, and the knife will be broken first."

Lin An held up his mobile phone and looked at the dark tree wall in front of him, "Brother, let's try it without fire."

"Yes, yes, burn this girl with fire! Dad, the lighter is at your place!"

"Wait a minute, if this really catches fire, we will be burned too." Mother Lin quickly stopped her.

Lao Lin took out a lighter from his bag. When he heard this, he first picked up a black leaf on the ground and lit it.

Zila, once ignited by the fire, the black leaves swirled, quickly twisted into strips and ignited, emitting a strange-smelling black smoke.

"Leaves are very flammable, this thing should be afraid of fire!"

Lao Lin pointed the lighter at one of the trees, and black smoke with a fishy smell quickly rose and filled the air. Not even half a minute after it burned, there was another creaking sound, and the burned tree seemed to be unable to bear it anymore and started to move towards it.

Moved aside!

Seeing the light coming from the opposite side, Mother Lin shouted happily, "Great, Lao Lin, are you okay?"

Through the gap between the trees, Lao Lin's face was covered with sweat, "It's okay, wait a minute, I'll burn a few more trees."

After a few minutes, the row of tree walls finally revealed a gap wide enough for one person. The three people who were isolated on the other side quickly ran over. The four people who were reunited could not hide their excitement.

"We have to make a torch. With fire, we won't be afraid of these trees causing trouble." Old Lin held up the lamp and looked at the still dense woods ahead.

Having said that, it is not easy to make a torch, because apart from scattered leaves, there are no flammable materials such as branches at all on the ground, and the branches growing on the trees are at least five meters above the ground and cannot be reached at all.

But this is not a big problem for Mrs. Lin, "An'an, take out the absorbent towel, Lin Yu, give me the alcohol in the medicine box, and the nylon rope."

The four people gathered in a circle and watched Mother Lin tie a towel to the machete with a nylon rope, then pour medical alcohol on the towel, and soon a short and simple torch was ready.

Old Lin handed the lamp to Lin Yu, took the machete from Mother Lin's hand, and lit the fire. The orange firelight danced, making the dark forest look full of ghosts.

After making the torch, the family stopped delaying. Lao Lin held the torch and still walked in front to open the way. Lin Yu gave him a light. Lin's mother held Lin Yu's mobile phone, and Lin An followed behind and looked around cautiously.

As soon as he encountered a compact tree, Lao Lin held a torch and burned it, so strange sounds of quacking were heard from time to time in the woods. Thinking that the strange noises they heard before were not birds at all, they should be the trees playing tricks on them.

.

Fortunately, the four of them didn't go very far. With the help of torches, they came out much faster. When they saw the sun in the distance, the whole family felt the joy of escaping.

"Holy shit! It's finally out—"

Standing on the barren wasteland again, Lin Yu raised his hands high and screamed happily, not caring whether he would be beaten by his old mother.

Mother Lin was not in the mood to pay attention to him at this time. She sat on the ground and took a long breath. Although she escaped, the stone in her heart was still heavy.

Even the trees in this place are so weird and dangerous. Where on earth have they arrived!?

After resting for a quarter of an hour, on the way home, the family discussed the strange black forest they had just encountered.

"That forest feels like a trap. You first lure the prey in, and then lock it up and suck its blood. It's like becoming a spirit. It's really scary." Old Lin patted his chest, shook his head and sighed.

"That's right, and people who are sucked by blood don't feel anything. They don't even know how they died in the end." Lin Yu looked at his bandaged right hand and began to feel a tingling sensation when it was exposed to the sun.

Hearing this, Mother Lin slapped him hard on the back of the head, which made Lin Yu scream in pain, "How dare you say that? I told you not to rush so fast. You are pulling like a wild horse."

Don’t stop, I’ll teach you a lesson now.”

"Yes, brother, we have to be more cautious in the future. After all, this place is different from what we were before."

Everyone was chattering along the way. When the familiar door appeared in front of him, Lin An realized what it meant to return home like an arrow. He looked at the closed door with clear eyes and let out a long sigh of relief.

Today's thrilling trip made her realize clearly that the safe and familiar world was leaving her, and the strange and strange new world made her feel uneasy.

The four people sitting on the sofa were all a little confused. Maybe it was because they were frightened by the strange forest, but Mother Lin felt a little confused.

"Lin An, go to the room and sleep."

Lin Yu, who was chewing the buns, pushed Lin An who was leaning on him, but did not push. He turned his head to look and found that Lin An had fallen on him along his arm.

Lin Yu pushed twice more, but still no movement, "Wake up, go sleep in your room!"

"Hey, Lin An, Lin An -" Lin Yu patted her face. Oh my god, it's so hot! Realizing something was wrong, Lin Yu immediately called Mother Lin, "Mom! Lin An has a fever!"

The first one to faint was Lin An, then Lao Lin and Mother Lin. Lin Yu, who was overwhelmed by the sudden turn of events, put several people on the bed one after another. Before he could give them antipyretic medicine, his legs kicked out.

So soft, he fell down in the living room.

Lin An was the first to wake up. Lin An, who didn't know that he had been in a coma, walked out of the room with Ha Qie in his arms. When he saw the person lying sprawled in the living room, he was stunned.

She didn't recognize Lin Yu because he was wrapped in a layer of black mist. The black mist expanded with his breathing, like a breathing membrane.

After recognizing Lin Yu, Lin An was so frightened that he called his parents for a long time, but no one responded.

When the panicked Lin An pushed open the door of his parents' bedroom and saw the same two masses of black mist on the bed, his fingertips trembled and he looked at them at a loss.

What's going on? Why have they become like this?

Lin An, who had been uneasy since arriving here inexplicably, couldn't help crying any longer. He knelt in front of the bed and dared not touch them. He could only cry out in low voice.

A quarter of an hour later, Lin An was sitting at the door with his knees in his arms. His eyes were swollen like walnuts and his voice was hoarse from crying. After venting his anger, he gradually calmed down.

She looked at the layer of mist that wrapped them, getting smaller and smaller. It was like a cocoon before, but now it was like a light veil covering them.

Lin An had a hunch that they would wake up after the black mist completely disappeared.
