Chapter 442: Into the Mountains to Save People
The man's condition was very bad, his face was pale, his lips were chapped, and he was depressed; His body was covered with tiny scratches, the cloth shoes under his feet were worn out, and the soles of his feet were stained with blood. Before he could answer Zhou Chen's question, he fell to the ground; Seeing the man planted on the ground, the woman screamed in fright, Zhou Chen hurriedly reached out to check the man's pulse, it was not a big deal, but he was overly nervous, and his physical strength was overdrawn and he fainted, so he asked the woman to get some sugar water, and Zhou Chen and several people put the man in the room and put it on the bed.
Drinking the sugar water and adding some sugar, the man slowly woke up, Zhou Chen took some chocolate from the bag for the man to eat, and told the woman to make some food. Seeing her husband wake up, the woman was relieved and went to cook with tears.
"Big brother, what the hell is going on? What are the dwarves you were talking about? Is it more powerful than a black blind man or a leopard? Seeing that the man was fine, Zhou Chen couldn't help but worry in his heart and asked.
"Hey...... I can't say what this dwarf spirit is. The man sighed deeply and said, "It's not as good as the black blind man, but this dwarf is very powerful." How to say it! It has been handed down from our ancestors that when you meet a dwarf spirit, you must hide, and you must not let the dwarf spirit see it, otherwise you will lose your soul, and that thing is good at confusing people. ”
Lost your soul?
Confusing?
What the hell is this?
"You may not understand this, so I'll tell you that!" The man also felt that his language was not clear, and continued to explain: "There is a mountain behind the mountain in front of our village, which is called Misty Mountain by our ancestors, and that mountain is very large, even if you know the road, you can't go out for a day or a night, and the mountain is full of smoke and clouds both day and night, and it is difficult to recognize the road. And in that mountain there is a strange thing called a dwarf spirit. They look like people, they are shorter than people, and they are good at deceiving people and making people lose judgment. Therefore, the people in our village generally do not go to that mountain, and if the uncle had not insisted on going, I would not have taken him with me. ”
"What about the specifics? How did you meet the dwarves? And how was he deceived? ”
Looking at the man's painful and regretful appearance, Zhou Chen knew that the old man's stubbornness of the doctor ghost must have kept asking the man to take him there, so this happened, but now that the doctor ghost has an accident, the man is fine, and the man naturally blames himself.
"We arrived at the Misty Mountain in the afternoon four days ago, and we have been fine, but just last night, I was sleeping in a daze, and when I heard the sound of 'squeaking', I knew that it was wrong, it must be a dwarf spirit; But the fog was too big that night, the two of us were about to go down the mountain, and we couldn't find each other after walking for a long time, I searched nearby, and found that there was a soul revival grass on the ground, and vaguely saw the uncle leave under the leadership of a few dwarves, I chased after it, but I didn't catch it for a long time, and then the uncle and the dwarf spirit disappeared, and my leg was also broken, so I immediately wanted to run back to the village to find someone to help. The fog was so big that I got lost, so I wasted a day. I don't know what happened to the uncle. The man said with a face full of self-reproach.
"Can the Soul Restoration Grass deal with the dwarf spirits? Is there still a resurrection grass at home? Zhou Chen asked with a solemn face.
Back then, he was seriously injured, if it wasn't for the doctor ghost to continue his life, he would have died two years ago, even if the doctor ghost made a move because the Zhou family exchanged conditions with him, but after all, it was him, and he didn't die on the spot. Now that he is in danger, how can Zhou Chen see death and not save him? What's more, now that the doctor has just met his biological daughter Xing Xing, how can he not let his father and daughter be separated by yin and yang?
The healer must be saved.
"Big brother, what are you going to do?" The man asked with a look of surprise.
"Big brother, you take a good rest, I'll go to the Misty Mountain to find him." Zhou Chen said with a smile.
This honest man finally escaped from the tiger's mouth, and Zhou Chen didn't want him to continue to encounter danger.
"No, that Misty Mountain is very magical, and the good hunters in our village will get lost in it, not to mention you young people who have never been to Misty Mountain." The man immediately became anxious and hurriedly stopped him; Thinking that the uncle (doctor ghost) was still in danger, he also blamed himself very much, and hurriedly said: "When it dawns tomorrow, I will call a few young people in the village, and we will go together." It's easier to have us lead the way, not to mention that I know where to meet the dwarves. ”
Zhou Chen thought about it and felt that what the man said was also reasonable, after all, they were not familiar with the life of the Misty Mountain, and if there was no road, I was afraid that they would be blind. Think about the exhaustion of this eldest brother, if he encounters some dangerous things again, how will this orphan and widow live?
It seems that when the family falls asleep at night, let's go secretly!
However, you have to find the Soul Restoration Grass beforehand.
"That's fine." Zhou Chen nodded and asked, "Big brother, what does the soul grass look like?" Do you have one at home? Let's see, can we? ”
"Okay."
The honest man didn't think much about it, and called his mother-in-law and asked her to bring the soul rejuvenation grass to Zhou Chen and show them, and Zhou Chen took the opportunity to put the soul rejuvenation grass away. In the evening, after having dinner together, Zhou Chen and the four of them went to sleep in the room arranged by the middle-aged woman, and agreed to wait for the Hanzi family to fall asleep and quietly go to the Misty Mountain.
At two o'clock in the evening, the whole village was peaceful.
Zhou Chen and the others quietly left the village, and climbed over a mountain in front of the village according to the clues provided by the man before; The sky was already slightly brightened, and there was a long mountain in front of me, and sure enough, as the man said, the mountain was very large, full of smoke and clouds, and the fog was very heavy.
"It seems that the front is the Misty Mountain, and the soul grass has been brought with us, everyone walks slowly, don't fall behind." Looking at the misty mountain full of weirdness in front of him, Zhou Chen reminded.
"Don't worry."
"Let's go!"
Under the leadership of Zhou Chen, several people entered the Misty Mountain, walked for about half an hour, and Zhang Ziling, who was holding a compass in his hand, said: "There seems to be something wrong with the compass." ”
Several people got together and looked at the compass in Zhang Ziling's hand, only to see that the compass kept running around, and there were no coordinates at all.
This mountain is really weird!
I'm afraid it should be the magnetic field that disturbs the compass.
"This mountain is really not ordinary, everyone must be careful, remember to make marks along the way." Zhou Chen commanded.
"Okay."
The problem with the compass did not affect everyone's mood, Zhou Chen walked in front, Zhao Xuan'er followed closely behind, and then Qing Wei followed, Zhang Ziling was responsible for breaking the back, and several people walked very carefully. The fog on this mountain is very medium, and when I looked at my watch, it was already eight o'clock in the morning, but the fog was so thick that I could hardly see it at a distance of three meters.
After walking for about an hour, the fog still did not change at all, and the visibility was only three or four meters, which seemed to be because of this mountain, which should be foggy all year round, and had nothing to do with time at all.
"Look, there's footprints here."
Zhou Chen looked at the ground very carefully, and suddenly found that there were footprints in front of him, and there were a lot of blood stains on the footprints.
