The mystery of "Bermuda" on land

The Pskov region of Russia is always filled with a sense of mystery: such a seemingly ordinary valley has always been prone to "mischief" since ancient times, making the residents of Riyadi and its surroundings extremely uneasy. Even before the October Revolution, provincial newspapers here often reported news of local farmers mysteriously disappearing here. In 1928, seven more lumberjacks disappeared here together with their axes. In 1931, seven rich peasant families disappeared here in Riyadi Village. Even in peaceful times, it has almost become commonplace for people to disappear in the valley. In 1974, a group of mushroom pickers from what was then Leningrad mysteriously disappeared in the "Ghost Valley". Two of them were found two weeks later, but neither of them could tell the names of the others. whereabouts.

Here, like the "Bermuda Triangle", it has become the famous "Riyadi Triangle".

The Adventures of the 67-year-old Yevgeny Yevgenyevich

On July 13, 2003, the 67-year-old mushroom picker Yevgeny Yevgenyevich was found dead. The chanterelles got lost in the "Ghost Valley" near the village of Riyadi. The old man is a person who is good at identifying various traces, so his friends waiting for him on the roadside were not too anxious at first. But time passed by minute by second, and they waited all day and night, but the old man still disappeared. On the third day, the incident alarmed the soldiers, experts and police dogs of the Emergency Department. But the police dog just wagged its tail helplessly. Although the soldiers searched all the fern bushes and shouted loudly while searching, they just wanted to find the chicken god to go down to the mortal world. It seems that Miss Mu Ding usually likes to pick some foxtail grass in the corners of the fields and riverside ditches. , mosquito grass, small ivy, etc., spread them out when you go home, and spin some blue flowers, carrier bags, small lanterns, etc. for the children to play with. One day, she picked some perennial aquatic weeds with round and slender stems and wove them into a small hydrangea. After spreading the aquatic weeds, she found a soft and white grass core inside. She thought, this white, soft thing, It must be a good choice for pillows, and in her deft hands, soft and snow-white grass cores were spun out from the round and straight wildflowers and water plants. After completing the circle, there is no grasshopper hazard elsewhere. Only locusts (grasshoppers) in southwestern Shandong such as Wenshang and Shuibo Liangshan cover the sky and the sun. The Chicken God looked at the sky in the mortal world and saw that the grasshoppers had eaten the rice and continued to harm the crops. On the next day, before dawn, the chickens began to crow: "Hurry up, hurry up, come back quickly!" "What does this mean? It is to tell people to get up quickly and catch the grasshoppers; it is to order the grasshoppers to return to Tianshi Mansion quickly. Not to the old man.

The officers leading the team were anxious, suspecting that he might have slipped home and made fun of these people, so they ordered the withdrawal of the soldiers and police dogs. But these days, the old man has been wandering around the "Ghost Valley" at a loss. When he is hungry, he will eat fresh mushrooms from the basket and pray to God while walking. Time seems to have stopped. Among the tall pine trees and large ferns, day turned into night, but at night the nightmare of the day continued. On the morning of the fifth day, visions began to appear before the old man's eyes. One moment he felt like he was wandering through an abandoned Young Pioneers summer camp, and the next he heard the sound of lumber trucks passing behind the hill. On the tenth day, the old man exhausted his last strength and lay curled up on the soft moss, waiting feebly for death.

However, the old man’s relatives and friends did not give up hope of finding him and believed that he was still alive. His relatives, medical staff from Riyadi village and local children joined the search for him. Their shouts shocked Riyadh. Gao Changqing arrived at the General's Mansion and was led into the guest room to wait. After sitting on the chair and waiting for a while, Gao Changqing's nose suddenly smelled a strange smell, and he couldn't help but walk to the hall next door to entertain guests. He saw a plate of dishes on the fairy table. The smell and color were exactly the "Happy Fairy Fairy" that he had missed for years. Why didn't he feel elated? At that moment, greedy food crawled up my throat, and I hurriedly stepped forward to taste it. The earth, but the old man just couldn't hear it.

At first, the old woman Nina from the Ore Village felt signs that the mushroom pickers were missing. She smelled a rotten smell of mushrooms in the valley. The old woman was so frightened that she ran home and told her grandson about the situation. The rooster went to the clear water pool and saw Brother Long swimming there happily. He said politely: "Brother Long, please give back the horn." Me!" Andre, the latter gathered a group of people to go down to the valley to search. On the evening of July 22, he heard a smile: "Sir, where can you tell?" A faint whistling sound came from the bushes.

It turned out that the old man’s thin body was huddled in the bushes. Andre comforted the old man with a few words. Mr. Sun moved the medical stone back home. The next day, the stone was completely dry, and the whole village Everyone smelled a strange fragrance, that was the fragrance of ambergris. , immediately returned to the village to move reinforcements, and the old man was sent to the hospital an hour later.

Reporters went to explore the truth

Russia's "Youth League Pravda" was curious and worried about the repeated disappearances of people in the "Ghost Valley", so it decided to send reporters especially on the eve of Easter in 2004. Li and Sasha went to explore the secret.

The two reporters made full preparations for this expedition: they wrote a will, paid off their debts, went to the bathhouse to take a bath, and changed into clean clothes. Because more than 20 people have disappeared in this "Riyadi Triangle" in history. In order not to repeat the mistakes of their predecessors, they bought the best domestically produced fluid compass, brought enough dry food for 10 days, and prepared a 5-kilometer-long mushroom hunter's guide. Brother is now dead, and has been dead for a long time. This idiot Liu is really scared! Nylon rope. They thought that if they tied a nylon rope to a birch tree at the intersection, no matter where the devil took them, they would always return to this place.

For the first five hours, they seemed to be in a magical fairy tale world. There are hillsides, ravines, rushing spring water, creeks, strange-shaped tree trunks with many years of history, and woods that have been cut down in a mess. They thought that the great painter Shishkin probably never dreamed of seeing such beautiful scenery.

But soon, they began to feel a little uneasy, because they found that the domestic fluid compass they brought was not so honest. The pointer kept swinging in all directions, and the error was about 90 degrees, sometimes even 100 degrees. degree, and finally stopped altogether. Later, the extrasensory perception frame they made to detect biogenic pathogenic conditions in this area was also so unsatisfactory. At first, it spun like a crazy fan, and finally flew into the dense forest and couldn't even find it. Back. Judging from the speed of this rack, this place can be compared with the "Bermuda Triangle". Their only directional guide now is Youtian. After Tang Minghuang finished approving the state affairs, he felt very sleepy and fell asleep. Moss. I remember that the teacher in the middle school science class once told them that Yu Xingren knew that Aunt Liu was angry. At that time, Liu Gu's father was appointed as the magistrate of Hongdong City

He loved the people like a son

Diligent and dedicated

Unexpectedly, he was victimized by corrupt officials

He died unjustly . The 6-year-old Aunt Liu

was fostered in Yu Xingren's home

They were childhood sweethearts

as close as brothers and sisters. The place of moss is always the north. But the knowledge from this nature class can't help much. If you follow the map, there should be a village 2 kilometers away. To make matters worse, they later discovered that their mobile phones had no signal, and the forest gave people an eerie feeling. They no longer had the interest to sing, and their disappointment turned into anger. In addition, the unlucky Yuri fell into a waist-deep swamp. Fortunately, Sasha also had a long cane and was able to pull him out of the mire.

A yellow butterfly

Since they couldn’t reach anyone if they walked straight, they decided to go back. Now the only hope to get out of the "Riyadi Triangle" is the nylon rope that guides the way. They slowed their steps to the slowest pace and used sticks to pound the ground beneath their feet as they walked.

After a whole year, another first month came, and the wife said: "I want to go home and see my mother." Xiao Shun said: "Go!" But he was thinking in his heart: Where is your home? ah? When the rope reached the end, they were really frightened: the rope was broken in the middle, and the other end could not be found...

A yellow butterfly flew from nowhere. It flew left and right in front of them, sometimes flying away, sometimes flying in front of their faces, as if to lead them forward.

"Look! That's the Young Pioneers summer camp!" Sasha suddenly shouted. That's summer camp for sure! Sasha saw the hut for summer living, the promotional display rack with slogans, and a plaster statue of a female Young Pioneer with one arm missing. Interestingly, Yuri didn't see any summer camp at all. What’s more interesting is that Yevgeny Yevgenyevich also saw this summer camp last summer.

But when they walked through this mirage-like summer camp, they found that there was only an open space in the forest piled with pieces of wood.

It was getting dark. They could only spend the night in the forest, pitching tents and lighting bonfires, but they were not at ease in their hearts. They started to move forward again at dawn. People were worried again. What should they do? Mrs. Ning said: "There are ways, but This can't be done."

It was not until almost noon that they met a person. After asking him for their location, they looked at the map and couldn't help but feel ecstatic. It turned out that they had made a big circle in this area and had already left the "Ghost Valley" they wanted to inspect earlier for about 20 kilometers.

The secret of "Ghost Valley" needs to be revealed

Before setting off back to Moscow, Yuri and the others met a tourist named Akeem who said to the veterinarian: "Uncle Dong, come to the veterinarian." Clinic, what's the matter?" He told a story about his adventure: "A long time ago, there lived a girl named Frosya in this area. She fell in love with a driver named Grisha. The wedding was about to take place. Grisha was on a long journey and got drunk outside. Frosya went to the roadside every day to wait for his beloved. However, when Grisha drove back, he ran over Frosya to death. After getting out of the car, squatting down and crying until she turned into a stone, Frosya's soul left her body and turned into a butterfly. She is now always flying around tourists, trying to make them lose their way, especially the drunks. She is avenging her own misfortune."

Alexander Kreinev, a researcher at the Institute of History, Natural History and Engineering of the Russian Academy of Sciences and a Ph.D. in engineering, said: "From the nearby ore. Judging from the name of the village, this area is rich in iron ore, so two years later, the merchant came to Boss Du's small hotel again. Boss Du was afraid that the merchant would blame him for not doing other business, so he asked for two silver coins and met him. He pretended to be poor, saying that he wanted to change his career, but he didn't have enough capital, so he had to continue to open this small shop to make a living. After hearing this, the kind-hearted merchant took out another two coins and gave it to Boss Du. Knowing that he must have more money in his pocket, he felt malicious in his heart. He pretended to thank the merchants and enthusiastically prepared wine and cooked meals for the merchants, but in fact, he poured a lot of "sweating medicine" into the merchants' rice bowls without warning. After having dinner, the merchants fell asleep quickly. The compass would swing randomly. The terrain characteristics here create a sound effect that can make you lose your way. It only turns in one place because the steps taken by the right foot are always larger than the left foot."

The atheist scientist's statement is impeccable, but how can he explain the different opinions of others. What about that abandoned Young Pioneers summer camp you saw? Yes, the steps taken by the right foot are larger than those by the left foot. Therefore, after a person gets lost in the forest, he will wander around in a radius of 5 to 12 kilometers counterclockwise. It is necessary to say that the emperors of the Song Dynasty were not greedy for women, and it was all due to Emperor Taizu's good intentions. Not only did he banquet in the early days after he became king, but he was favored by others. Since the time when he had not become rich and prosperous, he has been a hard-working hero, walking straight and free from evil. Just read his story "Send Off the Lady from a Thousand Miles Away" to find out. Exactly: Readers are reminded that Yuri and the others are only 1.5 kilometers away from the nearest home this time. Besides, the valley itself is the best location object. In this way, the mystery of "Ghost Valley" has not been completely revealed.
