Yellow River Craftsman

Chapter 429 The Scarecrow

Early the next morning.

We boarded a tourist bus bound for Wandu Forest.

Sitting in the car, recalling the story Liang Qing told yesterday, everyone felt a little heavy, each buried in their own thoughts, and did not speak much along the way.

The sun outside is warm and the sky is pure blue, but our hearts are slightly cold.

As one of the four mystical forests in the world, Wandu Forest has gradually been developed into a tourist attraction in recent years, attracting tourists who come here for its name.The tourism company has opened various tourism services such as forest holiday houses, jungle adventures, and jungle scenery in Wandu Forest.But maybe for the sake of safety, the travel company only developed the edge of the Ten Thousand Poisonous Forest, and tourists stopped in the depths, and it was regarded as a restricted area. Those who trespassed into the restricted area without authorization, the company will not be responsible for any accidents.

The tourist bus can take 50 people. In addition to our group of 14, there are 34 passengers on board, plus a driver and a tour guide.

The lady tour guide was quite pretty, with a slender figure, and her sexy long legs in high heels attracted the attention of many male passengers in the car.When the beautiful tour guide stepped into the car, there was even a whistle in the car.

The beautiful tour guide is probably familiar with such things, showing a sweet professional smile, touching her chest, and introducing herself to us: "Hi everyone, my name is Lan Weiwei, I will be the tour guide for this trip, I hope everyone can give me more advice!"

"Hey, we must teach!"

"Honey, what's your phone number?"

"Are you free for a drink tonight?"

A few blond foreign devils shouted jokingly, each with obscene lights shining in their eyes.

Lan Weiwei probably encountered such guests often, so she didn't care, she smiled, and replied casually: "Okay! Let's make an appointment in private!"

Then she twisted her graceful waist and continued to introduce to everyone: "This is the driver of the same company, his name is Guo Chengkang! He has 20 years of driving experience and rich driving experience. You can ride with confidence!"

Due to the long journey, before departure, Lan Weiwei distributed a coconut bread and a bottle of mineral water to each passenger.

When distributing mineral water to a blond ghost next door, the blond ghost took the opportunity to touch Lan Weiwei's smooth little hand, and then put his own hand on the crotch, laughing obscenely.

"Vulgar! It's so vulgar!" A young man sitting next to me suddenly spoke.He speaks Chinese.

I turned my head and glanced at him: "Chinese?"

The young man wore a sun hat and a small mustache. He dressed very casually and exuded an artist's breath.

The young man nodded: "Are you Chinese too?"

Everyone is Chinese, and they are very friendly in a foreign land.

I shook hands with the young man: "Hi, my name is Tuobagu!"

"Hello!" The young man introduced himself: "My name is Tao Jiangwei!"

After a pause of two seconds, Tao Jiangwei added: "I am a writer!"

He bites the word "writer" very hard, it seems that he is very concerned about the identity of this writer.

I smiled and didn't say much.

However, Tao Jiangwei took the initiative to talk to me: "I'm here to collect folk songs in Thailand! Actually, I'm an internet writer. I'm currently writing a novel on Heiyan Reading. When the protagonist goes to Thailand to do business, I want to add some mysterious Thai culture in the book, such as head-bending techniques, raising little ghosts, etc., so I decided to visit here, maybe I can add a lot of knowledge!"

I nodded: "Very good!"

Tao Jiangwei smiled wryly: "Hey, in fact, it is quite bitter to be in our line of work. It is open 360 days a year, and it is updated regularly every day. If there are fewer breaks, you will be scolded. It is even more painful when you encounter bottlenecks. Some so-called mainstream cultural people still put on a bad face all day long, as if they look down on us. We work hard and earn money by our own hard work, why should we be despised by others! Brother, let me tell you ..."

Tao Jiangwei kept pouring bitter water into my ears. As expected of a writer, he was so eloquent and eloquent that he almost fell asleep.

I was just coping with it, and I didn't pay attention to Tao Jiangwei, and I didn't know what he was talking about. My attention was all on that beautiful tour guide, Lan Weiwei.

Uh, don't get me wrong, I'm not admiring beauties, but listening to Lan Weiwei's vivid explanation.

The beautiful scenery of the Wandu Forest is being shown on the TV screen in front of the carriage. The photos of the beautiful scenery of the jungle really make people feel like they have stepped into a fairyland on earth.Colorful, unnamed jungle wildflowers, all kinds of strange plants, lush and towering trees, gurgling streams, and cute animals jumping and shuttling between the jungles.

In the introduction of this short landscape film, we saw an extremely beautiful forest park.

Of course, these are just publicity gimmicks of travel companies, and they can still be used to deceive ordinary tourists.

Only we know best in our hearts that although the Ten Thousand Poisonous Forest is beautiful on the surface, the crisis hidden within it is unimaginable.

Except for the harsh natural environment and ferocious beasts, at least Liang Qing's story tells us that there are ethnic minorities who can cast their heads in the forest.The invisible and colorless head lowering technique is the most terrifying existence in the Ten Thousand Poison Forest.Maybe from the first step into the forest, people will lower their heads, who knows?
The bustling scenery of the city receded quickly outside the window, and the bus drove out of the city all the way and began to drive to the suburbs.

There is still some distance from Bangkok to the Wandu Forest. After wandering for several hours, the bus is getting more and more remote, and the outside scenery has become extremely desolate. We can only see rolling hills and green forests from a distance. It was like driving in a completely strange world, without seeing other vehicles passing by, not even half a person.

There was a lot of snoring in the carriage, and many passengers fell asleep in a daze.

The air conditioner was whistling, and the temperature in the car was cool and pleasant, which was very suitable for people to sleep.

I was also a little drowsy, half-closed my eyes and took a nap.

Suddenly, the screech of the brakes was heard, and the four wheels of the tour bus suddenly locked and stopped abruptly.

Inertia is like an invisible big hand, pushing us forward violently.

The dead silent carriage suddenly became noisy, shouting and cursing one after another, swear words from various countries gathered together in the carriage, like a national chorus.

All the passengers in the car woke up with a start, and I woke up too, feeling the coldness on my face, and I was splashed with water.

Holding the mineral water bottle in his hand, Tao Jiangwei kept apologizing to me: "I'm sorry brother! I'm really sorry! I was about to take a sip of water, but I didn't expect to brake suddenly, so the water in the bottle spilled out!"

"It's okay!" I wiped the water stains on my face, but didn't care.

At this time, there was a lot of voices in the carriage, and the passengers were talking and gesticulating. Many people stood up from their seats and looked towards the front of the car, as if something was happening in front of them.

what happened?
Had a car accident?

I guessed in my heart, it shouldn't be so unlucky to kill someone when I go out, right?
"Xiao Gu!" Lao Yang in the front row suddenly turned his head and said to me: "There seems to be a situation ahead!"

Seeing that Lao Yang had a different expression, I was suspicious, so I stretched out my hand to open the car window, like a giraffe, stretched my neck as hard as I could, and looked ahead.

Seeing this, I couldn't help being slightly taken aback, and a very uncomfortable feeling suddenly rose in my heart.

I saw that this was a dirt road in the suburbs, and the road was a little rough. Under the scorching sun, a lot of dirt turned into dust, and when the wind blew, it flew up all over the sky.In the flying dust, I saw a figure standing on the road directly in front of the tourist bus!
To be precise, it was not a person, but a scarecrow!

The scarecrow was about the height of a real person, with his arms stretched out, and a wooden stake was tied underneath, firmly nailed into the ground.What was strange was that the scarecrow was wearing a strange gown with many spell patterns embroidered on it, which looked like a Taoist robe.The Taoist robe is bright red, which is particularly dazzling under the scorching sun.At a glance, it looks like a wizard stretched out his hands, blocking the way of the tourist bus.

Why is there a scarecrow standing in the middle of the road for no reason?

Who is this scarecrow standing here?

What is the purpose of this scarecrow standing here?

Also, why is the scarecrow wearing a robe full of spells?
Although it was broad daylight, the scarecrow that appeared out of thin air gave people a sense of mystery.

There was a faint chill in my heart, and I always felt that something was wrong with that scarecrow, but I couldn't tell what was wrong.

Passengers in the car talked a lot.

Someone said: "Is this a local custom and culture?"

Someone said: "Shouldn't we encounter robbers blocking the way?"

Someone else said: "Is someone pretending to be a ghost here?"

Some people also said: "In my opinion, don't make such a fuss, it may be the mascot placed here by the travel company!"

Lao Yang looked at me with a serious expression: "Xiaogu, I think something is wrong with this?"

I nodded: "Let's see the situation first!"

Tao Jiangwei, who was sitting next to him, suddenly stood up excitedly, took out a portable notebook from his pocket, took out a pen, and quickly wrote and drew in the notebook.

"What are you doing?" I looked at Tao Jiangwei suspiciously.

Tao Jiangwei looked very excited: "Hey, I'm collecting writing materials! This scarecrow is so weird, it must be scary to write it into a novel story!"
