Chapter 14: A soak of urine solves the problem
Long Lu shook his hand as he spoke, carried the dragon slash on his back and walked towards the other side. When the three of them heard Long Lu's words, they all shivered. They were about to keep up with Long Lu's pace, and just after taking a few steps, the driver who was walking in front suddenly stopped like an electric shock.
Li Xiaoguo was just about to urge the driver to run quickly, but he couldn't move his legs. I only felt that in the cold river water, countless slippery and greasy snake bodies were rubbing and swimming around him, Li Xiaoguo looked underwater with his numb scalp, and the hairs on his body stood up one by one, and his legs and stomachs almost cramped.
I saw that within the range of vision, hundreds of white snakes swam back and forth around the three people.
The big snakes seemed to be still devouring the hungry ghosts in the water, and although they were swimming around the three of them, they had not yet taken the initiative to attack. Rao is like this, the three of them seem to be stepping on the middle of the minefield, and they don't dare to move a step. Feel the slightest shaking to stimulate these white snakes, and they will be dragged into the water to become a delicious meal.
"I, I listened, I heard that snakes, if you don't move, he won't bite you, is it true? The driver asked with a tremult.
"I've heard of it too, I wonder if I've heard of these snakes?" Brother Deng has already started talking nonsense.
The three of them froze in the middle of the river, unable to advance or retreat. Time passed little by little, and it was estimated that it would not be long before the hungry ghosts in the water were eaten, and it was when the three of them were buried in the belly of the snake.
"Anyway, it's death horizontally and vertically, so let's fight. Maybe we're standing quietly like this. After a while, they were gone. Li Xiaoguo said.
Standing between the three of them, he turned back to Brother Deng and said, "But if you are attacked by them, you will have no way to survive at all." The snake swallows the food alive first, and then digests it with gastric juice, you are fine, you have a gun in your hand, and you can kill yourself when you are pulled down, otherwise the snake's stomach will be corroded for a few days and you will not die. The intestines are rotten and the stomach is rotten, and it is called a miserable..."
Halfway through the words, a hot current suddenly came from the cold and biting water, slowly surrounding several people, and the driver grinned and scolded: "Brother Deng, you are so scared that you pee your pants!"
Just as Brother Deng was about to grin in embarrassment, he heard Li Xiaoguo shouting: "Run!"
After he put the dragon on the shore, he turned around and saw that the three people were still motionless in the middle of the water, he waved hard at several people, but saw that the three of them had no reaction, so he had to turn back and pull them.
At this moment, Brother Deng was already scared to pee in the river, and as soon as the hot current gushed out, he obviously felt that the snakes swimming in the cold and biting river water seemed to be stimulated, and immediately swam in all directions, and then he heard Li Xiaoguo shouting "Run".
The three of them subconsciously spread their legs and ran to the shore, and before they ran out a few meters, the scattered snakes accelerated again and swam towards the three of them, and the water behind the three of them seemed to boil for a while, and countless white swaying snakes were churning in the water, and it would take a few seconds to catch up with them again.
When the driver was about to despair again, Li Xiaoguo's voice sounded again: "Driver Huang, pee again!" It was strange to say, as soon as those snakes met the driver's hot warm current, they hesitated to disperse.
The three of them soaked in this way, each of them output a warm current, and those snakes dispersed as soon as they met the heat flow, and as soon as the water returned to cold, they chased the three again. Such a few back and forth actually let the three of them run ashore.
As soon as they stepped on the land, Li Xiaoguo's heart finally relaxed, and the three of them ran to a place more than ten meters away from the river, and fell down on Long Slash's side exhausted.
After taking a few heavy breaths, the group looked back into the river. I saw that the churning waves in the river had slowly calmed down and returned to their original dark and dull color, and there were still a lot of hungry ghosts gathered on the opposite bank, but those hungry ghosts did not dare to go into the water anymore, but just stared at a few people, and from time to time they screamed a few times and refused to leave.
"It turns out that you kid deliberately wanted to scare me. They looked at each other and burst out laughing. Brother Deng turned over and sat up, and patted Li Xiaoguo's shoulder heavily: "But I can't imagine that I can drive these white snakes away with a soak of urine! You kid can do it! I actually thought of such a warm trick! Haha, but next time I have such a plan, just say it directly, there is no need to scare my brother and me." ”
Before Li Xiaoguo could answer, the driver interrupted him with a look of contempt: "I was so scared that I peed my pants in a few words, and you are not an ordinary coward." ”
"It's not because Brother Deng is timid. People in the water are inherently conditioned, which is why many people want to pee when swimming. Li Xiaoguo hurriedly rubbed his shoulders and helped Brother Deng explain: "The most important time is that the river water is cold and biting, when people are cold, the blood volume of the epidermis will naturally decrease, and the blood volume of the internal organs, including our kidneys, will increase, so the stress urinary hormone will also be secreted, so Brother Deng's behavior is also reasonable." ”
Brother Deng listened to his words, not only was he not embarrassed, but his face showed a look of approval, he moved the fat all over his body, and suddenly thought of something, and then asked: "At a young age, he is quite knowledgeable, how do you know that the white snake will retreat as soon as it encounters a warm current?" It seems that knowledge is power."
A strange smile appeared on Li Xiaoguo's face, he thought for a while and was about to answer, when the driver grabbed the topic: "This is not easy to understand, snakes are cold-blooded animals, not to mention that this kind of snake has lived in extremely cold and cold places for a long time, and is extremely sensitive to slightly warmer things, so when your warm stream with a smell gushes out, those snakes must have retreated." ”
"You Brother Deng and mine are not trickles, they are torrents!" Brother Deng laughed to himself.
Long Qi and Long Lu next to him also nodded when they heard this, and the corners of Li Xiaoguo's mouth also rose slightly, which can be regarded as agreeing with the driver's statement. It's just that he thinks that the driver surnamed Huang has rarely spoken since he entered this ghost place, except for being startled, and now he is suddenly telling a story, which is somewhat strange. But thinking about it, it may also be that he began to worry about the presence of his master, and he didn't dare to say much, and now he is in a desperate situation, and his spirit is relaxed, and it is normal for him to say a few more words.
"Ah, that's not right. While the crowd was packing up their soaked clothes, the driver exclaimed, "This snake is sensitive to heat, but it can also irritate them and cause them to be angry and attack us." ”
Brother Deng next to him was still shirtless, smiling and wringing out his wet clothes. Hearing the driver's words, he was shocked by the fat all over his body, and stared at Li Xiaoguo suspiciously.
Seeing that the other party didn't have a look of hesitation on his face, he immediately threw off his clothes and rode directly to Li Xiaoguo with a horse step: "Is what he said true? No wonder your kid wants me to come, you don't pee yourself." Do you want to bite me first in case those snakes are stimulated by something, and you will try to escape by yourself while I am dead, right? I saw that you were not a good thing, my gun, my gun? I shot this little slippery head!" he began to feel in his pockets and make a gesture of rummaging for a pistol.
"How, how, you're not doing well right now. Li Xiaoguo was pressed by Brother Deng who turned his face like a flip book, and the weight of 260 pounds was spread on his body and he couldn't breathe, he struggled and said:
"The snakes here are different from the snakes outside us, Brother Lu also said that they like to eat raw and cold hungry ghosts to make food, the snakes here are estimated to have never encountered anything too hot in their lives, and their first reaction must be to retreat, oops, don't do it, everything here is so weird, how can it be judged by the same standard as the outside." By the way, Brother Lu, where do you think we are here now?"
After an explanation, Brother Deng's eyes softened, and he watched Li Xiaoguo stubbornly open the topic, and Long Lu also took the stubble, and repeated three words with a solemn look: "Hungry ghost road." ”
"What kind of place is the Hungry Ghost Dao, and how do we get out of this place?" As soon as this question was mentioned, even Brother Deng, who was riding on Li Xiaoguo, stretched his neck and asked.
When a few people asked, Long Lu kept kneeling on the ground to check Long Slash's wound, and after a while, he raised his head and went to carry Long Slash again, but Long Slash waved his hand and turned over and stood up.
Seeing that the young master's injuries were not serious, Long Lu pointed to a huge towering tree, "Let's go there and rest." Following the direction he pointed, he saw that there was a space surrounded by rhizomes at the intertwined roots of the big tree, like a small room.
Everyone nested under the big tree, took off their clothes and wrung them out and put them on again, Deng Ge's addiction to smoking came up, and he stretched out two fingers to Long Lu. Long Lu blocked his hand and said angrily: "Do you want to die? This is not the car just now, smoking in this dark place in the middle of winter, you may be able to see it from miles away." ”
Brother Deng withdrew his fingers with interest, and still muttered in his mouth: "Trapped in this ghost place, I don't know if I can go out, take a bite less!"
No one paid attention to his nonsense, and Long Slash asked, "Brother Lu, tell us about the Hungry Ghost Dao, maybe we can find a way out." ”
