Chapter Sixty-Nine: A Strange Closed-Door Village
The crawling sounds of the surrounding monsters came and went, as if there was a rhythm. It's just that the sound is a bit numb, and a cool breeze is swishing on the back of the neck. It was getting dark, a sign that the dawn was approaching. Maybe in the next second, the light will shine on the earth. There is no light, and the darkest hour of the day has arrived. This is the hardest time, but also the most hopeful time.
Tonight, there is no chirping of crickets and no singing of birds. Yes, it's just the endless noise. The monster's gnawing grew quieter, and their armies receded as quickly as a flood. There is not much left of the monster in an instant. The few who remained alone, either missing arms or broken legs, were still crawling forward.
The playboy is quick with his hands, and when he goes up, he directly tramples one to death. The playboy didn't know if it was poisonous or not, so he carefully picked it up with a branch. It was also thanks to the sturdy branches that the monster of that weight hung on it and did not break.
Wu Zheng changed his happy appearance, watching the dawn gradually come, and a sense of happiness melted into his heart. Dawn, as the beginning of the day, represents hope and light. Strands of light shone through the trees, leaving specks of light on the ground.
The dawn glows red, but it's not as warm as the sunset. Dawn is usually only the light but not the sun. The sun was shining, but the temperature was still low. When Wu Zheng first entered Lin Hai, it was still summer. But now as soon as it comes out again, I feel a strong autumn mood. The sense that things are not people adds a bit of desolation and loneliness to autumn.
Wu Zheng and the three of them didn't dare to procrastinate, so they hurried up and left. God knows if this group of monsters will not come back, and the best thing to do is to leave quickly, so as not to cause trouble. Although Falling Dust had said that the creature would only haunt at night, the playboy still had a lingering heart.
Wu Zheng was in a good mood, he walked in front happily, walking flutteringly, and almost flying. The playboy was on the side, and his eyes inadvertently caught a glimpse of Wu Zheng. The playboy said in his heart, why don't you sing a song, how festive! The playboy had a whim, but he didn't expect Wu Zheng to really do this, and Wu Zheng really opened his mouth to sing.
The forest was suddenly filled with Wu Zheng's 'wonderful' singing. The voice, like the sound of heaven, has a magical power that makes people can't help but cover their ears. Wu Zheng's singing voice is more terrifying than the dragon's chant of the falling dust sword, and the landslide and ground crack are nothing more than that. Knowing this, I let Wu Zheng sing a song just now. In this way, they don't have to go to great lengths to avoid monsters, just sing. If you encounter danger in the future, let Wu Zheng sing and directly sing the enemy to death. This kind of death is cruel enough, and what a cruel torture the enemy's spirit has to go through! Of course, these are all jokes.
But it's true that Wu Zheng's singing voice is not very good. Even Luochen, who had been silent, said: "Don't sing, it's too ugly." ”
Wu Zheng was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that it was Luo Chen who refuted the exit. Originally, he thought that the playboy would be the first to scold, and he also prepared a long paragraph of rhetoric for this. But this time it turned into dust, and Wu Zheng seemed a little at a loss. He couldn't spit out a word of what he had prepared. Wu Zheng was embarrassed, and finally blushed and didn't speak.
The playboy smiled slightly, and he was very happy to see Wu Zheng eating deflated. Aren't you singing, if you have a face, you will continue to sing! The playboy is proud, the spring breeze is proud. It's a bit like a newly married groom, smiling so brightly. Now the playboy is out of shape, with a red flower on his chest, he is simply a stupid talent. Of course, this is what the playboy looks like in Wu Zheng's eyes. The playboy didn't know that he was in Wu Zheng's heart, and this was the case. If he knew, it was estimated that he would beat Wu Zheng's ass and bloom, and let Wu Zheng know why the flowers were so red.
The three of them were silent all the way, no singing and laughing, no flirting. Yes, it's just dandy provocation and ridicule. Wu Zheng was in a bad mood all the way, but now he was happy but now he wanted to cry without tears. For the time being, Wu Zheng can only think of this word to describe his depressed mood. It's all my fault, I didn't study well at the beginning, and now I can't compare to a playboy even if I scold people.
The three of them walked for a day, and there was no more danger along the way. It's just that they don't know where to go. And there is no carriage to come, so I don't know how many days it will take to get out. It's such an ordinary and boring life, repeating the same thing every day.
Wu Zheng has been a little numb when he walks, and there will be danger every time he walks in the past, which can be regarded as a little accident in life. But now, even this little accident is gone, and Wu Zheng is a little nostalgic for the life of running for his life before. If it weren't for the hope that he would go out of the forest, Wu Zheng would have given up a long time ago.
On the third day, the trees were decreasing. The dude felt that he was about to go out into the woods. In the past few days, they have finally survived with all kinds of small magical beasts. The days of starvation by drinking ice are coming to an end.
When it was close to evening, the three of them finally saw the house. That's right, Wu Zheng rubbed his eyes, knowing that he was not mistaken. However, he didn't run straight over, and there have been countless times when he ran out first without a good end. Now that Wu Zheng has also learned, let's not worry.
But Wu Zheng is not in a hurry, it does not mean that the playboy is not in a hurry. This time, it was the playboy who ran out first. Wu Zheng was helpless, he never expected that the playboy would be so uncontrollable. Did the sun rise in the west today, Wu Zheng forgot a little, he didn't pay attention to it! Wu Zheng was completely stunned and stayed in place.
Luochen walked over and patted Wu Zheng's shoulder and said, "What's the daze, let's go." Although the tone does not contain any emotion, it is also slightly human. At the very least, someone has come to remind you that it's time to go.
Wu Zheng lowered his head, then raised it again, and changed a smile on his face. "I'm not angry. Wu Zheng muttered in his mouth, and then followed with a fart.
In the beginning, there were only a few lonely people. As the three of them continued to walk inside, the whole village was revealed. The roads in the village are not very easy to walk, not only are they potholed, but they are often dusty. Walking into the village, there were fewer trees, only a few lonely. And in every house in the village, the doors and windows are closed. Sometimes, you can occasionally see some panicked villagers.
The three of them walked in the village, very conspicuous. Especially the dandy covered in blood, it can be said that it is dazzling. But the villagers turned a blind eye and hurried away.
The villagers here, if they are usually like this, it would be too unkind, Wu Zheng muttered in his heart.
The playboy doesn't think so, judging from the performance of these villagers, there may be something inside. Even the most ruthless person cannot see a person covered in blood and remain indifferent.
The dude grabbed an old man and tried a lot of effort to get him to stop. The old man looked very old, with a head full of gray hair but still running. The playboy grabbed the old man, and his hand never let go, for fear that the old man would run away again.
The old man was obviously a little annoyed, and said angrily: "Let go, you don't want to kill my old man." ”
As soon as these words came out, Wu Zheng was startled. The playboy said in his heart, sure enough, he didn't guess wrong, there was really a secret in it. Even the hard-hearted dust couldn't help frowning.
Wu Zheng looked at the old man and couldn't help but want to step forward to comfort the old man. At such a big age, I still have to run for life and death. Seeing this old man, Wu Zheng couldn't help but miss General Hu who had been taking care of him.
The dude bit his lip, but still didn't let go. Although he was sympathetic to the old man, he also had to get things straight. The playboy said kindly: "Old man, we are just passing by here and trying to find a place to stay, there is no malice." ”
After hearing this, the old man carefully looked at the three of them. Although he saw that the playboy was covered in blood, he finally sighed and said, "Although I don't know what you do, I also advise you to leave quickly, because it is dark here, and demons are coming." ”
The playboy frowned, what is the "demon"? The playboy knew that he couldn't ask the old man directly, he had to take it slowly, otherwise it would be bad to be scared. So the playboy said in a deep voice: "Don't hide it from the old man, the three of us want to spend the night here, but there is no one to greet us. That's why I made this decision, offended you old, and I hope you don't mind. ”
The old man listened to the words of the dude, and his face was obviously much better. I saw the old man look down at his wrist, and then at the playboy.
The playboy immediately understood, and let go of his hand with an embarrassed smile.
The old man moved his wrist and said, "You guys are very good for me." With that, the old man quickened his pace and ran again.
The three of them followed the old man, dusty all the way. Turn left and right for one or two turns, and finally arrive at the old man's house.
At first glance, the old man's home is no different from other homes, with doors and windows closed. But a closer look shows that the old man lives in poverty. The doors and windows were dilapidated, the roofs were in tatters, and in some places they were covered with thatch.
The old man hurriedly opened the door and let Wu Zheng and the others in. When the three of them entered the house, the old man immediately closed the door again. Entering the house, the playboy was shocked again. It was only now that he understood what it meant to be a disciple of the four walls. This also has something to do with the playboy's family background, he has always lived in an environment of fine clothes and fine food, and it is impossible to know what the life of the poor is like just by imagination.
However, in the eyes of Wu Zheng and Luochen, these are very normal. They've seen more poverty, and they've even experienced harder times.
The playboy fell into deep thought again, he really had too many things he didn't know, like the poor old man in front of him. The playboy knew what else he could do, at least what he had to do.
The playboy stabilized his mind and said again: "Old man, do you have anything unspeakable, you might as well tell us about it, maybe we can help you." ”
Wu Zheng also said: "Yes, old man, if you have any difficulties, just say it, maybe we can help something." ”
"You?" the old man looked at the three of them, then shook his head and said, "You can't. With that, the old man turned his back and went into the room by himself.
"Oh, yes. The old man seemed uneasy, and said, "Don't go out at night, whatever you hear or see." After the old man said this, the stone in his heart seemed to be put down, and he sighed deeply. Subsequently, a room was arranged for the three of them, and no three of them were paid attention to.
So the three of them successfully moved into the old man's house. It's just that Wu Zheng is slightly dissatisfied that there is no dinner.
