Chapter 16: An Arrow
There was already movement in the dense forest behind me, and I suppressed my voice and said to Baocai and the little Taoist: "We have to go down!"
Baocai stretched out his head, looked at the faces with different expressions on the mountain wall, and muttered, "Isn't there any other way......?"
I said, "There are only two paths now, stretching out your head and stabbing you will die, and shrinking your head may have a little bit of a turnaround." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
The little Taoist priest agreed, and helped me to say, "Those people are spicy, if we want to get into their hands, we have to feed those Gu worms!"
At the mention of the word "Gu worm", Bao Cai swallowed his saliva, and seemed to have a plan in his heart. Now there was the witch left, and I was kind enough to persuade her to go into the water to take refuge, but she squinted at me, and looked as cold as ice.
I said in my heart: Hu Labazi, what did you do to seal the stream? Why did you save this female demon! I sighed deeply, and now that I think about it, I really regret it, I regret that I was soft-hearted at that time, and I didn't let them kill each other.
Alas...... Just when I was infinitely remorseful, I only heard a "cluck" behind me, and then the figures of several Gu worms brushed past my ears like small marbles.
My heart sank, and I immediately leaned down and shouted, "Quick, jump into the water!" As I spoke, I stumbled forward a few steps, and at this moment, Baocai's fatal reaction was faster than anyone else's, only to see him squatting down, looking panicked, like a harlequin in Peking Opera.
When we reached the edge of the mountain stream, we were only one step away from falling, and we were all a little timid, because the water was so dark and heavy that you would think of all sorts of terrible things in it, and they would attack and tear at your flesh the moment you fell into the water.
The combination of darkness and the unknown, the gloom and the gloom, will always create infinite fear in people's hearts. But when the Gu worm behind us came gurgling, we had no choice, so we only listened to Bao Cai's scream and went into the water in a distorted posture. The little Taoist priest glanced at me and jumped into his hand.
I wanted to follow it in one go, but seeing the female demon standing in place, staring at the Gu worms who were confronting her, I finally couldn't bear it, and rushed over and grabbed her hand. She didn't expect me to come to her, and she couldn't help but scream in shock. And after those Gu insects were quiet for a while, they suddenly surged like a flood that burst the embankment, making a large sound of shaking wings and making people sweat. The sound was so terrifying that I got goosebumps, and then I took a step, only to hear a snap, and the shrine maiden and I jumped into the water.
In fact, the water in this mountain stream was very deep, and I felt a chill when I went down. Because there is no light, everything is dark in the water, and the coolness and fear of this swinging around you is indescribable.
I couldn't pinpoint the exact location of my companions, I could only tell them by the sound of sliding water. The first thing I found was Baocai, and when he suddenly popped out of the water, I was half frightened to death by him, and cursed him several times before I stopped.
He asked me if the Gu worms had gone into the water, and I said, "Probably not, I didn't hear the sound of rain falling into the water." ”
He breathed a sigh of relief, and then the little Taoist priest swam over, and we stayed in the water, not daring to approach the mountain stream wall, because the faces of those people were too weird.
Since entering the water, the shrine maiden has not been seen, and she has disappeared without a sound. I wondered, and soon, above us, there was a flash of fire, it was the strange faces, and there were four of them, and I could imagine that two of them might have been killed or seriously injured by the guns.
In the firelight, I saw those Gu worms, they surrounded the strange-faced man, and did not chase us, at this moment I realized that this Gu worm is not afraid of fire, but afraid of water, I felt a burst of joy in my heart, thinking that I finally got rid of these terrible things.
Just as he was thinking about it, Bao Cai screamed, and his body was being dragged down by something. When the little Taoist priest and I saw this, we immediately grabbed his hand to stabilize him, and he shouted: "Water ghost, water ghost has grabbed me again!"
My heart says where did so many water ghosts come from...... After a while, a guess crossed my mind. Could it be a shrine maiden? It is very likely that when I saw her earlier, she wore a dazzling headdress on her head, and a heavy Miao robe, which is estimated to have taken up a lot of weight. If she were to enter the water in this situation, she would really not be able to float if she wanted to.
Thinking of this, I asked the little Taoist priest to stabilize the treasure while I dived into the water. I'm not in a good situation now, because I was injured by the Gu worm before, and with that silver needle, it's impossible for my two hands to move greatly, and their current existence, like the kind of hands of zombies in the movie, can be torn off when they are pulled. Of course, my situation is not so bad.
Because I grew up in a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, and my grandparents lived by the sea, my water nature is not bad. I try to swim like a fish, without using my own hands. However, because the bicycle light fell off while dealing with the elk, I was completely blind when I got into the water. Only by the cry of the treasure can he find the location of his feet.
As I got close to Bao Cai's legs, I quickened my groping, and when my palms touched a soft patch, the contents of the water suddenly spat out a string of blisters, and then she kicked me in the face with her foot. I was in pain, and realized that it might have been the shrine maiden's chest, so she reacted very quickly. But now it's important to save people, and I don't care about these things that are taboo for men and women. After correcting my senses, I risked being beaten by her at any time, and swam to her again.
She didn't stop in the water, her hands were clutching, and as soon as I got closer, she grabbed her face, and her face was hot and painful. I cursed damn it, and quickly reached out to help her untie the cumbersome headdress. She was reluctant at first, but slowly she learned that I didn't want her to drown.
After settling the tiara, her originally towering bun spread out like aquatic weeds. I was covered by her several times, and I felt really uncomfortable, so I had to push it away.
At this moment, I faintly heard the sound of some muffled falling water. There aren't many things that can fall into the water at this kind of time in this kind of place, and I think of those weird-faced people. With this thought, I eagerly swam behind the shrine maiden, and her mind was already clouded after several sips of water, so she gradually let go of her grip on the calf of the treasure.
"Childe......" Baocai shouted anxiously, as if he was in trouble, I was nervous, hugged the witch's small waist, and took her upstream, but because I fell into the water in a hurry before, I didn't have time to take off the cloth wrap behind me, so now I am also swimming very hard.
Perhaps sensing the movement, the shrine maiden regained consciousness, and she suddenly grabbed my shoulder, squeezed hard, and walked up. My body sank, and my heart said: What a woman with no conscience, I came to save her, but she pretended to be dead to borrow my strength! At this thought, I instantly lost my temper, and before she could swim out of the water, I immediately stretched out my hand and grabbed her ankle.
She was caught by me, struggled a few times, and kicked me again, I had suffered a lot of losses from her before, and this time she was able to hide quite quickly. However, with this force, the wound on my right arm reacted instantly, and the whole skull was hurting, I didn't hold my breath for a while, poured water, and thought: The so-called merry must die in the hands of a woman, and I must not be soft on a woman next time. Thinking of this, I struggled upward, and finally put my head out of the water, and regained my breath, and suddenly saw a pale and disgusting face facing me coldly in the dim light.
Hulabazi, I was so scared that I didn't react for a while, and I confronted him silently for two or three seconds. Before I could come to my senses, the strange-faced man suddenly picked up the knife in his hand and slashed at my head.
For a moment, my mind went blank, the knife came too fast, there was no time to hide! Just as I was about to die, I heard a pop, and suddenly an arrow was stuck above the head of the strange-faced man, and the shaft of the arrow shook his head a few times, and before he could react, it had disappeared from my sight.
The knife was only an inch away from me, and at an inch, my head was going to be split in half. I looked at the deep mountain stream, the ripples on it gradually faded, and I returned to calm. At this time, all kinds of emotions were surging in my heart. At that moment, Bao Cai and the little Taoist priest were fighting with the other two strange-faced people, and the witch was behind me, and the arrow was coming from the direction of the small waterfall on our left. I took my breath, looked in that direction, and burst into tears.
That figure, slightly fat, I thought I would never see it again. At this time, he really smiled at me, and shouted: "Liuzi, why are you so uneasy!"
