Volume 1 Savage Growth Chapter 016 Riverside Horror
Obviously, the sudden change caught the half-faced man off guard, and he wanted to pick up the thrown wooden stick, but he stumbled and fell to the ground, just pressing the wooden stick.
"Yu Qiang, you, what's wrong with you......" Qi Zong asked in surprise.
Only then did he find that the person lying on the ground was his partner Yu Qiang, and his heart sank, who was the person just now?
Qi Zong's reaction was quite fast, he hurriedly looked at the figure just now, picked up the wooden stick on the ground, and stood up on the spot.
"Who are you, why did you hurt my friend?" Qi Zong angrily rebuked.
When the side face turned around, half of the face was hideous, Qi Zong's heart trembled suddenly, and his brain appeared a brief blank.
At this moment, the Half-Faced Man seized this opportunity and quickly swung his fist at him, apparently trying to make a quick decision.
"The trick of pretending to be a god and a ghost, Lao Tzu got tired of playing it ten years ago!"
Qi Zong disdained, and while speaking, he picked up the wooden stick and smashed it into the waving arm.
"Click...... Ah!" In an instant, the wooden stick broke in two, and the other party let out a miserable scream.
The half-faced man kept rubbing his arm, presumably the stick was not lightly struck, and before he could recover his strength, Qi Zong flew up and kicked him in the air.
This is a good opportunity, Qi Zong seized this opportunity, and was about to make another move, but something unexpected happened.
A figure rose up from the grass and rushed towards the river, this sudden change made Qi jump back.
Who is this? What is going on? Qi Zong was a little confused.
I thought, this year's fashion is a ghost?
Forget it, catch this ghost first, and then talk about it, dare to stun my golden partner.
"You're not as lucky as that ghost, I advise you not to think about running away, give me a satisfactory explanation, why did you hurt ......???"
"Bang ......"
Before Qi Zong's words were finished, blood slowly flowed down from the top of his head, covering his eyes with heat, and he felt that his body was a little suspended, and his head was blank and buzzing.
"Yo he...... Into a haunt's den?"
He looked at the dark shadow behind him, his eyes darkened, and his body went limp.
At this time, Yue Lin had not returned after waiting for a long time, so he got up and looked down the slope, but he did not see any trace of them.
I thought to myself, just such a slope, the two of them will not get lost, could it be that they are starting to compete again.
Just as they were about to call out to them, a person staggered behind the pine forest not far away, as if he was still a little panicked, and looked back from time to time.
Yue Lin frowned, this thin figure in a hurry, this is not like the characteristics of the two of them.
However, the direction in which this figure is running is the direction in which Qi Zong is going, which inevitably makes people think crankily.
Under the night, Yue Lin couldn't see clearly, and for the sake of caution, he hurriedly bent down and hid among the rock walls, paying close attention to the unknown figure.
Faintly hearing the sound of rapid breathing, the panicked figure stumbled, and did not run to this side, but to the reeds by the river.
Yue Lin was suspicious in his heart, hearing the panicked aura of the figure, as well as the characteristics of the figure, the figure should be a woman, which is very abnormal.
A woman came here alone at night, either because she was lost, or because she encountered some difficulties, could it be that something really happened over there?
Yue Lin didn't hesitate, he had to go to Qi Zong and them, worried about what accident would happen.
"Poof, poof......" Yue Lin was about to slip downhill when he suddenly heard a rush of footsteps from the pine forest.
But the inertia of sliding downhill forced Yue Lin to lie down and lie down halfway up the mountain, hiding from the night to observe the figures coming in a hurry.
"Boom la la ......" accompanied Yue Lin's lying down, and several rocks rolled down the hillside.
Perhaps, the figure rushing in a hurry heard the sound of rocks rolling down, and suddenly slowed down, tiptoeing very cautiously.
He picked something from the ground, like a gray garment, and after a moment's thought, looked at the other side of the hill where the rocks had fallen.
Yue Lin observed this black shadow, and inevitably disappointed him, although this person looked quite strong, he was a little short, obviously not in line with them.
However, when he saw his reflective face, Yue Lin gasped, it was actually a face covered by a half-mask, and he inevitably remembered the half-faced person.
Yue Lin was just thinking about it, and he didn't associate him with the half-faced person, after all, the connection for no reason was too far-fetched, and it could only be regarded as a coincidence.
The half-faced man kneaded the clothes in his hand into a ball and slammed them on the ground, "I want to see how long you can run tonight, I'm not afraid that you will run until your bones are soft!"
After a moment's hesitation, he chased in the direction of the falling stones, and Yue Lin obviously heard what the half-faced man said just now, and he walked towards the clothes.
At night, Yue Lin picked up the clothes on the ground, and saw that the style looked like standard overalls, which also made him feel familiar.
The faint fragrance of jasmine, in Yue Lin's cognition, this faint fragrance represents Xiao Yuan, who is particularly sensitive to this fragrance and is particularly kind.
The pockets of his clothes hadn't been opened yet, let alone found anything, but just as Yue Lin was about to throw it away, the tag on the collar caught his attention.
Although the moonlight is bright, it is not enough to see the logo, but it can vaguely distinguish the logo format, and the tooling made in a unified manner is generally marked with the company's abbreviation and name when the manufacturer is made.
In the dark, Yue Lin took out his mobile phone, only to find that it was still turned off.
"Ding-dong, ding-dong......"
More than 30 text messages and calls were displayed, Yue Lin frowned, Qin Qing, Qin Fanqing, Luo Luan, and Aunt Tian...... There is also a string of unfamiliar numbers.
The content of the text messages they sent almost always mentioned one thing, where are you, call back quickly, Xiao Yuan is missing.
"Xiao Yuan came looking for me?" Yue Lin muttered to himself.
He seemed to have a premonition of something, and was about to turn on the flashlight of his mobile phone and illuminate the label of his overalls, when he thought of the half-faced man, and it was not time for him to be exposed.
"A002, Xiao Yuan ???" With the faint light of the mobile phone screen, Yue Lin read the logo on the label.
The brain was short of blank, and in an instant, the blood rushed straight to the brain, and his consciousness was close to losing control, and he kept dialing Xiao Yuan's phone and chased down the hill.
Yue Lin made a phone call while chasing, the more he thought about it, the more anxious he became, and in desperation, he dialed Qin Qing's phone.
"Hey, Mr. Qin, has Xiao Yuan gone back?"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Qin, I just turned on the phone and saw it, so I'll notify you as soon as possible!"
"Okay, I know, we can contact ...... at any time if there is a situation!"
The direction that Yue Lin followed was the small sandwich road in the reeds, and the path more than thirty centimeters wide was pitch black.
The leaves stretched out from the reeds were like a small sickle, and the running Yue Lin's face was cut out of blood.
Yue Lin, who completely ignored it, ran and stopped, catching any strange noise.
Suddenly, he tripped under his feet, Yue Lin fell to the ground, almost hitting the ground with his face first, he opened his mobile phone and took a photo, it turned out to be an upside-down reed, blocking the narrow aisle.
Yue Lin rubbed his numb shoulders, and when he was about to get up, his hand touched a shoe, a half-heeled shoe.
Yue Lin, who was in a state of confusion, turned on the flashlight of his mobile phone and observed the fallen reeds, the traces of the chaotic crossing, extending in the direction of the river.
Yue Lin rushed into the reeds, followed the traces of the reeds' lodging, and chased them in the direction of the river.
The sharp reed stubble pierced his shoes, and Yue Lin was not hurting himself, but Xiao Yuan, who was barefoot.
Relying on the bright light of the mobile phone flashlight, he followed the traces of continuous lodging and chased all the way to the river.
The reeds near the river, though not so dense, are knee-deep swamps, making it increasingly difficult to find.
Suddenly, Yue Lin stopped, touched the reed leaves in the lower place, and pierced his heart, and there were indeed blood stains on the leaves.
"Xiao Yuan, where are you, don't scare me......" muttered in his heart.
At this time, Yue Lin was nowhere to be found, the river had reached his knees, and this swamp was connected to the river, and it was precisely because he was familiar with the situation here that he felt desperate.
In the past few years, there were sand pumping boats everywhere here, and the situation at the bottom of the river can be imagined, the topography and undercurrents are very complicated, and once a person drowns here, it is difficult to salvage the body.
Yue Lin waded through the knee-high river, looking forward along the riverside, like looking for a needle in a haystack, aimlessly.
On the surface of the river, the surrounding area is pitch black, and only the bright lights are shown in the distance, which is full of color.
"Yue, Yue Lin, I, I seem to be leaving, but I don't want to die, I'm afraid of ......"
In the river water, Xiao Yuan's teeth were cold and gurgling, she was crying in despair, afraid of the arrival of death, the river water had overflowed her chest, and there was no way out.
However, the half-faced man wandered back and forth by the river, looking at her from time to time, Xiao Yuan covered her mouth with her hands, forcing herself not to shout.
The night wind, occasionally stirring up layers of water waves, slapped on her face continuously, pushing her so that she couldn't stand steadily, she couldn't remember how many times she choked on the water, and she was quietly tormented in the river.
Although the wind and waves on the river surface are very small, they are penetrated by the river water, and the cold causes the body to become numb, and it cannot withstand the gentle push of the water waves.
Although Xiao Yuan didn't feel retreating, she was on tiptoe now, and the river was flooding her chin.
Knowing that she is not good at water, even if there is no danger on the shore, whether she can return to the shore now, she has to have a question in her heart.
"Goo-dong...... Ahem, ahem, ahem......!"
Xiao Yuan choked on another mouthful of water, and coughed up despite covering her mouth with her hands.
The half-faced man who was hovering on the shore suddenly stopped and looked at her again, as if he had found himself.
"Please, don't go into the water, don't come here......"
"Yue Lin, I'm really scared, I hope that in the next life, I can meet you on the bridge, I'm leaving......"
"Dad, Mom, my daughter is gone, if I am still your daughter in the next life, don't drive me away with this kind of love......"
Xiao Yuan complained bitterly in fear, as if she was leaving her last words, looking at the half of her face swimming not far away, glowing with the cold moonlight, which looked even more hideous.
Suddenly, half of his face disappeared from the water.
"Ah......h
Xiao Yuan exclaimed, extremely frightened in her heart, and watched the movement of the surrounding water in a panic, and made up her mind.
She closed her eyes, thinking about her fleeting past, forced a smile, and leaned back......
"Xiao Yuan...... Shaw... Beauty...... Where are you?" the heart-rending call came from far and near.
Yue Lin, who was in despair, heard the screams of Jiangzhong, and ran by the river, roaring at the same time.
The mournful and hoarse voice, as if tearing his throat, echoed across the river, but there was no response.
"Xiao Yuan, I still owe you a life, you can't go......"
"I gambled with my life, grandpa blessed Xiao Yuan......"
Extreme anxiety made Yue Lin begin to speak incoherently, and with that desperate scream, he followed his feelings and jumped into the icy river.
Although Yue Lin grew up by the river, he has been a good boy since he was a child, and he never came to the river to swim alone without his grandfather's permission.
With the help of the moonlight shining from the river, seeing the fluctuations of the water ripples not far away, Yue Lin paddled quickly with both hands, and stepped on the mud and sand at the bottom of the river, and quickly moved closer to that side.
"Xiao Yuan, Xiao Yuan, I'm Yue Lin, where are you?"
There was only ripples on the surrounding water, but there was no response, and despite the abnormality, Yue Lin firmly believed that Xiao Yuan's voice came to the surrounding water.
At this time, he inadvertently discovered that in addition to the water ripples that he had spread, there were actually two water ripples crossing on the water surface, and there was no doubt that Yue Lin thought of the half-faced man.
"Filthy guy, you're dead!" Yue Lin said hatefully.
The river had reached his chest, limiting his speed of walking in the water, and he felt an undercurrent slowly rushing through.
Yue Lin's heart sank, this undercurrent surged out for a short time, obviously something had sneaked through, and he couldn't allow himself to think about it, so he held his breath and dived.
The posture of traveling underwater is basically the same as that of the water surface, with his feet on the mud and sand at the bottom of the river, and his arms pulling the river water, chasing in the direction of the surge.
This kind of dog-planing river bottom walking, the speed is also quite fast, you can clearly feel the fluctuations in front, obviously the target is in front.
His hand touched the rippling object in the water like a swinging foot as he slashed at it.
In an instant, the fluctuations became strange and began to be messy, and there was a hot stinging pain in the shoulder socket, and Yue Lin instinctively covered his shoulder with his hand.
However, he held a sharp knife, resisted the great pain, and shook the other hand, trying to replace the right hand holding the knife, and the two began to wrestle underwater.
Yue Lin began to hold his breath anymore, wanting to drag that hand to float and gasp, but he didn't think that the hand threw away the sharp knife, held his hand tightly, and didn't give him this chance.
In fact, although Yue Lin was so choked that his scalp exploded, this scene was exactly what he wanted, and in an instant, cold air erupted from his fingertips, along his wrist and straight to his brain.
Perhaps, the other party sensed something, quickly let go of Yue Lin's hand, quickly turned over in the water, and kicked at him.
After all, there was no support in the water, Yue Lin received a blow from him, and the moment he was kicked away, he could only let the cold qi cut through the flesh of his arm, giving him the pain of flesh and skin.
The time was too short, and Yue Lin was also eager for revenge, and directly wanted to attack the other party's brain and kill him.
As a result, it was just that he suffered from flesh and skin, and Yue Lin hated himself in his heart.
Knowing this, it is better to destroy the nerves in his arm and abolish one of his arms first.
His actions caught the other party by surprise, broke free from Yue Lin's tear, and desperately fled forward.
However, Yue Lin had exceeded the limit of holding his breath, and he urgently needed to float up to breathe, and at this moment, Yue Lin touched a person's body.
I was shocked, could it be Xiao Yuan?
