Sleepless Mountain (18)

『Could you get off me now?』 After an unknown amount of time, I realized I was still sitting on Sanda's body. So I just gave an awkward laugh and prepared to go back to sleep. But the moment I got off Sanda, Sanda and I were both frozen by the sight before us. At some point, the wind had stopped, and the bright moonlight hung high in the night sky outside the tent. And right outside the tent door, there stood a figure...... Illuminated by the moonlight, the silhouette of a person was cast very clearly onto our tent. I wanted to ask if it was Chen or Wang, but Chen is over 180cm tall, and Wang is fat. The shadow outside the tent, no matter how I looked at it, was that of a petite figure, only about 160cm tall. It was silent outside, and inside the tent, it was just Sanda and me, our hearts pounding rapidly, making a thumping sound. Is it alive? At a time like this, in a place like this, would the figure that appeared be alive? Or not alive? What exactly was standing outside the tent? I'd been seeing strange illusions all along the way, but this time, both of us saw it together. Sanda and I remained frozen in that pose for I don't know how long. Perhaps it was actually a very short time. But to both of us, it felt like a lifetime of long, agonizing moments. Neither of us had the courage to open the tent and see what was standing outside. We could only pray desperately that it wouldn't open the tent from the outside and come in.
