Chapter 9: A Strange Shadow
The moon is bright and dark, and the road under your feet is not very smooth.
"Erhei ......" He heard someone calling him, could it be Xiaomei?
But soon he reacted: No, this voice is not Xiaomei's! But it must not be from the commune, so who else in this wilderness will know him? Could it be......
Erhei once heard the old people say that when they encounter this situation, they must not turn back, let alone agree, otherwise they will stay and be a substitute for the dead.
Erhei's heart suddenly hung up.
"Two Blacks...... Look down, I'm down there. The voice rang out again. Erhei didn't dare to look down, he was afraid of seeing something that would be unbearable in his heart. He was even more afraid that he would be dragged down by the outstretched hand from the ground at this look, and he would never be able to climb up.
But curiosity and a strong sense of fear forced him to see what was going on, so he kept his head held high, but his eyelids drooped and his eyes involuntarily glanced down.
Erhei glanced at it, he didn't catch a glimpse of anything except his own shadow, he didn't know whether to be happy or worried, but the heart he was carrying hung higher.
The wind is high and the night is falling. No matter how you look at it, it's been a night of horror.
Erhei's feet were still moving forward, and suddenly, his back froze, and he stopped abruptly. Because, he found an extremely strange place.
He saw his own shadow!
With every step he took, his hands and feet were raised high, but his own shadow did not move at all!
The shadow remained motionless on the ground, its feet firmly connected to Erhei's feet, but not elsewhere. What kind of strange situation is that? Is his shadow dead? Or is he too lazy?
The yin wind blew one after another, making him shiver again and again.
"Ahh
He lifted his feet, a little panicked.
In a panic, his feet slipped and he sat on the ground. This ass sat down and sat his shadow firmly. The shadow was still motionless on the ground, and it was also attached to Erhei's buttocks, like a piece of black cloth under Erhei's buttocks.
Erhei hurriedly got up from the ground. At this moment, I saw the shadow bend upwards in a strange posture, like a bow slowly pulling out.
Along with this tendency, a subtle tearing sound sounded, as if the person had broken out of the shadows.
The amplitude of this upward bend is getting louder and louder, and the sound of tearing is getting louder and louder, and Erhei can almost see the arched spine of the shadow. It's as if it's about to break away from the identity of the shadow and become one of its own. An independent person is not someone who follows in the footsteps of others.
Suddenly, I heard a "bang" sound, like a tight string suddenly breaking, crisp and clear.
The shadow bounced off the ground and landed steadily on the ground in a zombie-like stance. It's light and there's no sound.
Erhei was already dumbfounded, completely forgetting that a person should howl twice at the right time when he was in extreme fear.
He finally saw the shadow for what it really was, and it didn't look like a shadow, but more like a person, like a good-looking young man.
This young man looks even younger than Erhei.
The young man stretched his muscles and bones fiercely, and said complainingly to Erhei, who had already been stunned: "I said Erhei, your little body can be regarded as suffocating me!"
Yes, I heard him right, this person was calling him "Erhei" just now.
This person knows Erhei!
Erhei finally reacted at this time, and stammered and asked, "You...... You, are you a human or a ghost? How do you know me?"
The moonlight sprinkled down, and Erhei lowered his eyes, and the shadow under his feet was still lying quietly at his feet, but this person was standing in front of him.
But he was obviously still hiding in the shadow just now, how could a person hide in someone else's shadow?!
The young man suddenly looked at Erhei strangely: "What's wrong with you? What do you mean by me, 'how can I know' you? Could it be that you don't know me after just such a while?"
"I ...... Should I know you?"
The young man nodded seriously and said, "Of course, what's the matter, you really don't know me?"
He glanced at Erhei strangely and asked, "Why are you alone?"
"She?" Erhei felt a little inexplicable, and he asked tentatively, "You mean...... Little sister?"
The young man was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Ah, yes, she is called Xiaomei here with you." ”
Erhei's brows furrowed even deeper: "Who are you?"
The young man looked at Erhei, as if he suddenly understood something, and he suddenly looked around, and his expression began to become strange.
After a while, it dawned on him that he said, "I see! This is the village of the dead that you said!
Now Erhei's doubts were far more than fear, and he asked him, "When did I tell you about the village of the dead?" My little sister and I have just arrived here, and I, I don't know you......"
He looked strangely at the young man, who was looking around. Except for doubts and curiosity, Erhei couldn't see any other expression on his face, and his expression was simply impeccable.
"You...... Who is it?" Erhei asked him tentatively.
"I ......" The young man had just spoken, when suddenly a familiar voice sounded in mid-air, the voice seemed to be calling someone's name, Erhei couldn't really hear it, he only felt that although the voice sounded vague, it felt very familiar to him. When the young man heard this voice, his face suddenly changed, and he said, "It's not good, I have to go!"
"Eh......"
"Erhei!" Erhei still wanted to speak, just at this time another voice came from behind him, Erhei looked back and saw that it was Xiaomei. The little sister came to him from the darkness. Just turned around, and when Erhei looked again, the man was gone, and his voice was gone, and there was silence all around.
Erhei looked at his shadow and moved his hands and feet, but he didn't find anything abnormal. He listened carefully again, but heard nothing except the rustling of leaves in the wind.
Xiaomei walked up to him and asked, "Scared you stupid?"
In fact, Erhei was already so scared that he forgot to be stupid, and when he saw his little sister, he remembered that he would be scared if he was his usual self, but he didn't know why, but the moment he saw his little sister appear in front of him, he was inexplicably relieved.
