Chapter 188: The Cabin in the Woods

The moon was spinning high, the territory of the Loulan people was so quiet that it was not like words, Gu Xiu and the Han army used the trees as a cover, observing everything in the strange place, the more they looked at it, the more they felt that something was wrong, in addition to the silence to the point of gloomy, there were dilapidated images, there were scattered bonfires on the ground, the air was filled with the smell of burning wood, and the fog was generated from the smoke of the coals. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info and beside the bonfire, there are bamboo baskets, which look like abandoned cripples, unable to fall to the ground, and there are some scattered food and chopped wood in them.

Faced with such a scene, Gu Xiu's heart suddenly became cold, he stood up silently, and Master Qin, who was holding the trunk of the tree, saw that he was about to walk out, and said in a suppressed voice: "Be careful of being discovered!"

Gu Xiu didn't listen to his advice, he turned back to the Han army and said, "Haven't you noticed that it's so silent here?"

After Gu Xiu reminded him, the Han soldiers, who were originally in a high degree of tension and had no ability to think, looked at each other and seemed to sense that something was wrong. Dai Ze carried a knife, walked to Gu Xiu's side, swept his eyes over the surrounding scene, and said, "This seems to be a deserted place......

Gu Xiu shook his head and said, "It's not a deserted place, it may have just been abandoned...... and then got up and walked forward without any scruples, the Han soldiers followed him carefully.

When he arrived at the air-conditioned wooden house, the one-eyed blacksmith shrank and looked inside through the lifeless window, looking infinitely nervous, he suggested: "Gu Zhangshi, light a torch and go in, it's pitch black, you can't see clearly, in case there is a trick ......" Because One-Eye only has one eye, his ability to distinguish things in the dark is half lower than others, and this person is obscene, so he is not treated by Gu Xiu.

Gu Xiu's eyes were sharp, and he replied calmly: "You have said that there is something treacherous, and you rashly ignited the fire, didn't you expose your position more thoroughly? If the dilapidated scene here is an illusion deliberately arranged by people, then in the dark, you may be able to avoid danger." ”

One-eyed listened to Gu Xiu's cold words, and swallowed all the words that came to his mouth back into his stomach.

The door of the wooden house is hidden, it may be that the Loulan people are in a hurry, or it may be really a trap, after thinking about it, Gu Xiu took out the pig-killing knife, there is almost no time to be frightened, he pushed the door open, as soon as the door was opened, the old sound of the wooden door "creaking" suddenly came out, and people were panicked when they heard it.

There was a faint smell of milk coming from the house, which was the smell of human life. Just when Gu Xiu carefully stepped into the door of the house, he suddenly heard a "hiss", and the abrupt sound pierced his heart, and You Hua, who had just walked in, was startled by the sound, staggered back, and happened to touch something like a clay pot, and the sound of breaking made the Han army outside the door frightened, and suddenly the atmosphere fell into an inexplicable panic.

Gu Xiu frowned, now the Han army he led is like a frightened bird, very empty, before he can figure out what it is, it is a panic, he shouted in a low voice, let everyone stay calm, and at the same time, the thing that was screaming on the wooden cabinet jumped out of the window vigorously, and in a flash, Gu Xiu saw clearly, it was something similar to a monkey, not something demonic.

He retracted his mind and re-examined the seemingly ominous room, which was very simple in structure, with only one room, and a heavy coarse cloth on the left hand side of the room, behind which was supposed to be a place for people to sleep.

The cloth is a feminine thing, unlike the hard wooden door, it is partitioned, and the eyes cannot see the scene behind it, which will make people think about it, as if as soon as the layer of dead air is lifted, the pale and bloody face of the cloak will suddenly appear.

Sometimes once people are afraid, the more they think about it, the more terrifying they become, Gu Xiu doesn't like to suffer in such a scorching and unbearable atmosphere, so he walked lightly, the floor of the wooden house is also an old floor, covered with a piece of animal skin, as soon as he walks, the ground will collapse at any time "creak...... "Squeak......" sound, Gu Xiu held his breath and walked to the coarse curtain, and the moment he opened the curtain, his heart was almost choked by the tense air and stopped beating.

There was an open wooden window behind the curtain, and the moonlight outside the window spilled into the ground, and where the moonlight reached, something hung on the roof, and the thing was turning in a circle, and if you looked closely, it turned out to be a very strange puppet. The puppet was like a human bone wind chime that Gu Xiu had seen earlier, with a circular stand in the middle, and thick wires were strung on the stands, and under each thick line hung creepy dolls.

There are seven or eight of these dolls in total, seen in the dim light, giving people a strange feeling of suffocation, the Han army are all tall and fierce men, they are terrifying executioners, but in front of a few palm-sized dolls, but they have also lost their usual might.

This kind of silent thing always gives people infinite reverie, it has no life, but it gives people a symbol of evil spirit, as the dolls sway quietly, Gu Xiu thought to himself, if he was standing alone in this dark room now, seeing such a thing smiling at himself, how would he feel?

But fortunately, there are many people now, and they share that gloomy fear with each other, and Gu Xiu quickly figured it out, there is a milky smell here, animal skins are spread on the ground, and there is a delicate cradle on the side, shaped like a boat, and there is only a woolen blanket that has been dropped in the cradle, obviously there was a baby in this house, and this doll may be a puppet made by the owner of the house here for children.

After confirming that there was no one, Gu Xiu quietly took a cool breath and paced the room again. The inside of the wooden house is almost the same as the outside, everything is scattered, as if the people who live here are in a hurry to avoid something, so when it comes to packing things, they are very anxious.

This is the case outside, and the inside is also the same, Gu Xiu suddenly realized that the person who lived here had run away, he took three steps and two steps out of the wooden house, took out the bloody cloth stuffed in the mouth of the Loulan snooper, lifted him, and asked, "What are your people hiding?"

The snooper replied weakly: "What are you hiding?" he let out a sneer from his belly, his eyes glanced at Han Jun, and said presumptuously: "Isn't it just hiding from you!"

"Hiding from us?" Gu Xiu muttered, then his eyes sharpened, and said: "You are in our hands, how do they know that we are coming, are there other spies?" Gu Xiu asked, suddenly figured out something, and suddenly said: "I see, you have been out for a long time and have not come back, so the people of your tribe realized that you were in danger, so they ran away first, very good! It seems that your people are also a bad breed who are afraid of things." ”

Loulan snoopers sneered: "So what? It's too late now, the people of our tribe are gone, and your dreams are about to be shattered." ”

Gu Xiu pushed away the snoopers who were smiling proudly, and sneered: "You are just a dog abandoned by your own clan, and they are so cold, it is really an eye-opener for me." ”

The snooper continued to laugh, propping himself up with his only remaining hand, and said in a sonorous voice, "Our people are all ready to sacrifice, if my late return can make them realize the danger, then what if I am left alone?"

As he was speaking, Dai Ze's body suddenly froze, he turned his vigilant gaze to the forest in the dark, and then hurriedly ran to Gu Xiu's side, and said in a suppressed voice: "Boss!
