Chapter 9: Encounters
Summer tastes like popsicles, you smell the sweetness, then summer is really here.
The weather began to look a little strange in the afternoon, and the dazzling sun had just hung in the sky, and for some reason the light dimmed for a moment.
"I'm so hot, so hot, I'm so hot......" Lu Surprise leaned on the stone bench, his mouth shattered. The brown hair in front of his forehead was soaked with sweat, sticky on his face, and his legs were casually skimmed, letting his demeanor fall all over the ground.
"I'm hot too, big brother, can you please mention your two cripples to keep up with us? It's almost too late for the interview!" The one who took the lead in speaking was a fair-skinned and delicate but somewhat fierce boy, with short black hair, peach blossom eyes coldly squinted at the person sitting on the stone bench, and said that he hooked Lu Surprise's neck and dragged it forward, don't think he is good at stubble, in fact, it is strange, and Lu Surprise.
Lu Jingqi almost didn't give him a breath, and he was irritable and writhed with Jing Ming when he turned around.
"Stinky Xiaoming, you still have the face to yell at me, you are the latest in the dormitory, I will wait for you in the playground for three hours! I'm not tired! Besides, you see that it's dark and you're going to go under the knife, I won't go, you want to go!" Lu stopped his hand and looked at Jing Ming in front of him with a disgusted expression. I can't wait to scratch his face, he is so good-looking, but his temper is as stinky as himself. Jing Ming was speechless for a while, and glared at him in surprise angrily.
"Don't be like this, Brother Ming, don't be surprised by it, it's too late for us to get up, Brother Lu, let's go quickly, if you don't leave, you really can't catch up." Ruan Lingyu, who was standing on the side, had a warm and cool voice, a water-blue shirt with goose-yellow daisy carvings, and slender legs with beige plaid trousers. From head to toe, it is a noble and elegant look in the bones, and the two dicks who have a face but ignore their demeanor and chatter non-stop, it is simply a world of difference. Ruan Lingyu glanced at her watch, and looked at the suddenly dark sky with confusion, anxiety welling up between her eyebrows.
It seems that the time has come!
Ruan Lingyu frowned slightly, glanced at Lu Lu in surprise, and then turned his head and gestured to Jing Ming.
Jing Ming's scalp was numb, he shook his clean short hair, stretched out his hand, and pulled up Lu Surprise, who had fallen to the ground.
"Master, I'm in a good mood today, I can carry you for a while, Qiqi, you guy can't enjoy the blessings of eight lifetimes, come up." The figure crouched down and motioned for the surprise standing aside.
Surprise and Ruan Lingyu glanced at each other and laughed unconsciously. "Brother Ming, your boyfriend is full of strength today, don't call me Qiqi one by one, I'm not your sister, I'm very straight! You have to put your careful thoughts on other people's young sisters!" Lu Jingqi jumped on Jing Ming's back with a wicked smile on his face, and deliberately pressed his body hard, causing the guy under him to stumble.
"Hey, I said don't follow me here, I've always liked little women, where do I seem to have this fetish. Jing Ming stabilized his body and rolled his eyes.
"I said Xiao Ming, when will you put away your chatterbox, when will you be as gentle and elegant as Ling Yu, exhaling like an orchid, you will talk to me again. Surprised grinned loudly behind him, did he squeeze his eyebrows at the elegant and gentle man on the side
Ruan Lingyu lay innocently on the gun, but he also smiled dotingly.
"The surprise is true. One of the boys at the front of the line looked back with a shy smile holding a stack of papers in his hand. A handsome man, with a high nose bridge, in the sun, the eyelashes on the eyes that are smiling into a line are fluttering, and there is a red tattoo next to the warm cheeks, which is quite feminine and charming with the smile.
Lu was surprised to look at Sang Nian, who suddenly turned around and laughed, and was stunned for a moment, and then reacted again, blushing and turning his head embarrassedly, his heart was in a big groove, a boy had tattoos on his face, and he couldn't stop his good-looking facial features. This Nian Nian usually doesn't like to talk, but people are honest, and they are the first to do any dirty work in the dormitory, if it weren't for a man, it is estimated that all the idiots on campus are chasing behind their buttocks. looks so immortal, I almost fell into it again just now, and it's better not to see this person's dangerous face!
Lu was surprised and thought again: his roommates are better looking than the other, and they really don't look like such a character who should be produced by a broken university. Except for Jing Ming, who speaks without proportion like himself, one Ruan Lingyu and the other Sang Nian, all speak like an old antique. When I first met, I thought they were pretending to be Lao Tzu in front of me, but in the past few years, people are good people, but this tone of speech really makes me unable to adapt to it.
"Brother Ming, look at how shy and shy people are, and how cute they sell, look at how amorous he laughs. Nian Nian, you said that if you were a girl, maybe I would chase you!" Lu Surprise joked at Sang Nian in front of him, Jing Ming turned to laugh and said: "Old Qiu, you shut up, drive every day, be careful of overturning into the gutter." ”
Bursts of hearty laughter disappeared into the hustle and bustle of the city with the distant figures.
Everyone on the busy street was in a hurry, and no one cared, and the sky that was originally dark was now scorching high.
-------------I'm a dividing line----------------
"Grandma, where is this, Qianhua is so cold......" A girl in a light cyan robe with a thick light gray cotton cloth wrapped around her head, her figure trembled, and she looked around a little timidly. The small figure, trembling step by step, moved in a large but faint woods, there was no sunlight, no wind direction, no sound, the silence was like a tomb, only gloomy and cold.
The little girl was dressed a little thin, and her two skinny little hands were tightly tugging on the sleeves, and her bright eyes were dulled by the surrounding situation.
"Grandma, grandma, Qianhua will not be afraid, Qianhua is strong......" The girl prayed silently in her heart, a pair of small hands pulled the sleeves tighter, and the originally dull eyes brightened again at the moment when she was firm in her heart. She took care of her mood, and then kept a high degree of vigilance and looked around, fearing that something strange would pop out of the dark forest.
This forest is also strange by birth, the whole forest is planted with tall but unnamed big trees, crowded between trees, the roots and vines exposed in the soil are intertwined, the appearance is very strange, the main trunk is thick and hard, the whole body is black and purple, and the branches extending next to it are no exception, the place where the thin branches should be soft and tender green is still like being poisoned, and the color is black and purple. The wide and fat leaves have a dark green luster that makes people feel that this seemingly bright and beautiful leaf has rows of spikes on the edges, and the thorns are estimated to be several inches long.
Xiao Qianhua looked at these somewhat familiar trees, and became more and more puzzled in her heart, this tree seemed to have been seen somewhere. Oh yes! It's Wuyuan....... Before Xiao Qianhua could react,
"Grunha ......"
"Grunha... Soil Bag ...... Grunha ......"
There were faint bursts of light calls from the originally quiet woods, and the sound was distant and ethereal. Xiao Qianhua was startled, could there be anyone else! These few soft calls are like someone climbing on your backbone and blowing cold air into your ears.
The call in her ears became clearer and clearer, but Xiao Qianhua still couldn't understand what those words were and what they wanted to bring her. "This language seems to have been heard somewhere, like a spell of a certain country, so familiar, ah......" Qianhua's mind flashed a moment of memory, but it was blank for a moment, and the more she tried to think about it, the more she felt that her memory was blocked by something.
The sound of the incantation in his ears became faster and faster, and his mental power became stronger and stronger, and the array hit Qianhua's consciousness, "Don't, don't...... Ahh The edge thorns on the leaves were stiff and dark, and one by one they pierced the girl's skin and flowed black and purple blood, and the toxins on the spikes also spread rapidly due to the wound drilling into the blood, and the pain of the exploding head and the burning sensation of the skin after the toxin impregnated invaded the girl's consciousness.
"Grandma, Qianhua hurts so much......" Xiao Qianhua, who was curled up in the pile of leaves, was confused, and her whole body was covered with spikes, like a dying hedgehog. Yun Qianhua endured the pain, and her eyes were hazy, but she didn't know that above her, a smart little green shadow was curiously opening her eyes wide, overlooking her every move.
After a long time, a leaning figure slowly walked from a distance and stopped beside the little green shadow. Dressed in a snow-white robe, his long black and shiny hair was as dense as brocade, and he was casually draped down. There was a small silver pot hanging under his waist, and the silver lid of the copper kettle spout was ajar, and bursts of rich fruity fragrance wafted out of the pot.
The tall figure who hadn't moved for a long time, staring at Yun Qianhua who had fainted on the ground for a long time, suddenly turned his head and smiled lazily at the little green shadow that had been flapping his wings beside him, untied the silver kettle on his waist with one hand, and drank the wine by himself. The white-robed man drank mellow fruit wine and squinted at the little man on the ground, his hollow eyes, the abyss-like black covered the entire eye socket, and sneered for a while: "I should have picked up some big person." ”
The little green shadow waved its little wings and flew up and down excitedly on the side, grunting in its mouth,
"That's it, she's just an ordinary old woman who was sucked in here by Wan Luo by chance, and she won't live long like this, and she's not the one we have to wait for. ”
The man waved his cuffs impatiently, dusting off the little green shadow that had been noisy around him. From time to time, his eyes glanced at the "old woman" on the ground. Seeing that the woman's shriveled and wrinkled face was bloodless, and even a little ugly, the white-robed man opened his eyes with some discomfort, turned his head and thought, although he also had doubts about whether it was really this old woman who opened the gap in time and space, but just used his divine sense to search, and did not find any aura of Wan Luo Xue on this old woman, and there was no spiritual power in this radius.
The little green shadow on the side saw that his master was about to leave, and he shouted more anxiously, and his thin wings flapped the white running man, wanting to stay.
"Don't make a fuss, you're just a little demon beast who has just entered the spiritual sense, you don't see her like a girl anymore, besides, that old woman has no spiritual power in her body, she can't be your next auxiliary spirit person. The people who use this ten thousand Luo Zhu are not idle people,"
The person who can carry the spirit weapon without leaking it is a person from the Yunfu Kingdom who can open the Spirit Killing Array, but that group of guys is extremely unlucky, and they were wiped out six years ago, they are really delicate and wasteful, thinking of this white-robed man's face is a touch of sarcasm.
"We will go into the gap in time and space with that man, we will not go far, we will hide here, and we will follow me to find it as quickly as possible!" said the man, and a cold appeared in his dark eyes.
"We must not let history repeat itself!" the man secretly made up his mind, ignoring the little green shadow, and turned and flew deeper into the woods. The little green shadow flapped its crystal clear and thin wings like cicada wings, and its two big eyes stared at the unconscious person on the ground, as if looking out of a hole. After going around for a while, he was reluctant to leave.
————————————————
Towards evening, the afterglow of the setting sun shallow through the dark green leaves and hit the slightly damp soil. The little man on the ground was dazed, struggled to get up, leaned against a tree behind him, his head was wilting, a little confused, and he couldn't remember why he had slept here just now.
"Xiao Ming, don't you think we're going to die? It's too bad to come here so late."
"Do you have a chance, after tonight, why are you on fire! What kind of entertainment headlines, advertising and publicity all find us!"
"! How can there be such a thing in this world? Every time something happens, it's not like I'm cannon fodder!. ”
"Listen to me, surprise, believe it or not, let's broadcast the night scout of the jungle live tonight, Ming'er, our fans will skyrocket, and you and I will be big celebrities!!"
"OK, you're the strongest, I'll be the first to run if there's something."
"Be good, obedient, Brother Xinming will have eternal life. ”
A male voice in the distance was getting closer and closer, and Xiao Qianhua, who was in rags, raised her little head that was originally buried deep in the crook of her arm excitedly, and her eyes were shining. casually pulled a long strip of cloth off the clothes on his body, wrapped most of his old face in a circle, and retreated to the big tree behind him in a flash.
"Old road! see it, see it, nothing, what are you afraid of, let's pretend not to do anything for a night, and it's over!" Jing Ming pointed to the surroundings with a smug face, except for the very dim light, there was no movement, and as he spoke, he kicked a pile of thick fallen leaves on the ground with his foot a few times, making a stinging sound.
Lu was surprised to look around, and there was nothing weird, and he breathed a sigh of relief, "Also, let's set up the bracket first, put the SLR on, and prepare to start recording." ”
The two of them were busy working for a while, completely noticing, and under the darkness somewhere behind them, a pair of faintly green eyes were carefully watching their every move.
"Old road, it's only 5 o'clock now, it's summer, why is this forest so dark..... Old...... Road, Road, Road, Surprise! Behind you!" Surprised to see Jing Ming looking behind him in horror, his face turned pale, his eyes were about to burst, and his speech was stumbling and incomplete.
Lu was surprised to know that he and Xiao Ming's courage were notoriously cowardly at school, how could they withstand intimidation. The heart that was already on guard suddenly raised its throat, and I screamed bitterly in my heart, this ass is not yet hot, and the ghost has come to the door?
Lu Amaze doesn't care about any gods and demons, flying in the sky and horizontal on the ground, shaking his head vigorously, and his mouth keeps chanting words, all of them are some Jesus Amitabha Buddha Nezha Third Prince or something, and then I can't wait to recite the Diamond Sutra 300 times, but I don't dare to look back behind me, for fear of staining my eyes.
"Click!click!" a few white lights flickered past,
Jing Ming, who was still scared just now, looked as white as a zombie, and his mouth was almost up to the back of his ears with a smile, "Old Lu, look at you, are you still a gentleman," Lu looked at the person in front of him in surprise, "I took a picture of your cowardice, hahaha" Jing Ming laughed almost out of breath, took the SLR in his hand, and showed off in front of Lu Surprise, who was still full of dead face and had not yet reacted.
"Jing Ming, you're going too far!" Lu Jingqi reacted in surprise and punched the gloating boy a few times, "If you do it again, you can live in a tent in this ghost place alone!"
"Okay, okay, it's a big deal to delete the photo for you, No!" Even if there is no dirt here, even if there is nothing dirty here, a strong man who looks so gloomy will not dare to spend the night alone. Jing Ming threw the camera into Surprise's arms, Lu Surprise's embarrassment flipped through the camera, looking at himself in the camera with a crooked face in fright, and he couldn't get angry.
But the surprised face gradually became difficult, Jing Ming, who was standing on the side, saw that something was wrong when he saw his face, thinking that this road cub was deliberately going to rectify himself, "Hey old road, it's boring to joke too much," Jing Ming rolled his eyes and quipped, and grabbed the camera with his hand.
This doesn't matter, behind the face of Surprise has been frightened and distorted in the photo, there are two faint green lights flashing, and I can't see what it is, but it feels eerie.
At this moment, the two of them closed their mouths quite tacitly, and they didn't dare to come out. Jing Ming looked like he wanted to cry without tears, and Lu Jingqi looked constipated, just when the two were deadlocked and desperate in their hearts.
Jing Ming seemed to have thought of something, and immediately removed the backpack, groped into the small compartment of the backpack, and turned out a black flashlight with an old style but delicate pattern for a long time.
"Old road, I think we seem to have a big deal! No, you go forward, I will cushion behind. Stuffed the black flashlight into Lu Surprise's arms, Jing Ming, who was still dragging his nose to the sky and full of manliness just now, was wilted at this time, and he didn't have the spirit to hold Lu Surprise's arm like a little woman and didn't let go.
"Dude, don't be afraid! Lu was surprised and patted Jing Ming's shoulder, thinking that Jing Ming, who had sworn at the beginning and had a fearless face, was now cowering like a chicken, and glanced at him helplessly. I adjusted the brightness of the flashlight in my hand to the strongest light, and the two of them held each other one after the other, and slowly walked in the direction of the green light on the photo.
There are some subtle cracks on the mirror surface of the flashlight, like a heavy fall, but the quality is excellent, and the light is far away, enough to illuminate a large area.
Lu Surprise said that he was not afraid that it was fake, his forehead was nervously dripping with a layer of dense sweat, and the flashlight in his hand quickly shone to different places to inspect, for fear that something would suddenly burst out with teeth and claws.
"It's going to be hot now, hey, hey, hey......" Suddenly, a cool voice sounded, and the laughter was a little dry, making people's hairs stand on end.
Lu Jingqi panicked for a moment, and then turned his head to stare at Jing Ming who was following him, Jing Ming looked at Lu Jingqi with an angry face, his face was scared and a little inexplicable, and he stammered: "Didn't I say it, no, didn't you say it?"
After hearing this, he said angrily: "When is it, you are still making such jokes! You are sick, beware of our own death!"
This time it was Jing Ming's turn to panic, and hurriedly said: "Lu is surprised! I swear, I really didn't speak!"
Lu was surprised to see that Jing Ming didn't look like he was lying, he closed his mouth tightly and didn't make a sound, and his heart suddenly lost his confidence, and he looked at Jing Ming faintly.
Jing Ming's scalp was numb, and he just wanted to speak.
"Lu Surprise......" The dry voice sounded again, and it seemed to be mixed with joy.
Jing Ming couldn't hold back at all, his hands couldn't stop trembling, he pinched the surprised arm next to him, his eyes stared around, his face was bitter and hateful, and his mouth was broken: "Old Road, we're really in trouble, I feel that I'm seriously hallucinating, is there really that thing! Is it too late to regret it now? Can you turn around and run?"
Lu Jingqi was also beating a drum in his heart at this time, and he was very unfamiliar with the voice that had just come, but there was an indescribable sense of familiarity flowing in his body, like an old friend who had not seen him for a long time was joking with himself. It's just that except for the three good friends in the dormitory, there is no one who can make such a big joke. Thinking of this,
"Don't speak. Lu Surprise forbade the forbidden gesture, signaled the boy next to him, who was already messy in the wind, to be quiet, and then turned off the flashlight.
"Lao Lu, are you okay," Jing Ming looked at his companion who was a little wrong, and his inner fear rose, and he suddenly said urgently, "Why are you turning off the flashlight, you are stunned, don't be surprised, next time I will never steal the mango jelly in your refrigerator, and I will not steal your clothes to go out to play, you, are you normal, okay" Seeing that Jing Ming was about to cry.
Lu was surprised and hurriedly said, "Tell you not to make a noise! Listen to me!" Seeing that Jing Ming beside him was still noisy in such a situation, he couldn't get angry. No wonder the mango jelly I worked so hard to make is gone before I eat much, and the new clothes I bought are always a rancid taste, it turns out that this dog thing owes his hands, and he doesn't wash it every time he wears it, and he wears his bad clothes many times, and then go back to settle accounts with him!
Jing Ming looked at Lu Qi's face that seemed to be smiling in the darkness at this time, and felt a little cowardly in his heart, so he obediently turned his head and stopped talking, and the two of them stood in the forest that was gradually darkening, restrained their breathing, and waited quietly.
In the dim light, in front of the two people standing still, a petite figure quietly appeared.
