Chapter 73: Fog (4)
'Boom' Liu Xiaohua felt a gust of wind coming towards her. The haze that had been thick was blown in the direction of the car.
Just as he was about to rush into the car door, he bounced back as if he was stopped by some force.
But the gust of wind didn't stop.
Liu Xiaohua opened her eyes in the wind, trying to see what was going on in front of her.
But the wind was too strong. Her hair was flying wildly, some of it was stuck on her face, stuck near her eyes, her skin was blown tight, and she had to purse her lips to prevent her mouth from opening and not closing.
Fortunately, the wheels were not blown by the wind in the slightest. Still firmly in place.
But the carriage was blown and trembling like an eggshell in a strong wind, as if it would be unable to support it at any moment and disintegrate.
The contents of the carriage have long been blown into a mess.
But this time, no one screamed. Zhou Qing and Cheng Zhengzhi grabbed several girls tightly. I am afraid that if the roof of the car is blown over, everyone will be softened and fall into the haze.
Cheng Zhengzhi wanted to crawl towards Liu Xiaohua several times, but he was caught too tightly by others. I can't struggle. A mouth was filled with wind, and he couldn't say a word.
Liu Xiaohua couldn't see the situation behind her, closed her eyes, resisted the wind, struggled to hold the jade pendant in front of her with one hand, and grabbed the door frame with the other.
The wind that was rushing towards the car and the wind that had already crossed the jade pendant could not be seen with the naked eye.
It seems to be just an ordinary air current. But when the wind passed through the jade pendant, it emitted a dazzling light, as if it was burning. There was also a peculiar smell in the wind, a bit like the smell of burning hair.
There were invisible white ashes, sprinkled from the wind, which at first were just fine dust, and gradually, turned into pieces like goose feathers and snow. But these things couldn't go beyond the scope of the jade pendant, and they were blocked at the door of the car, and soon accumulated a thick layer near the jade pendant.
These 'large snowflakes' seem to be undisturbed by the wind at all, and fall quietly to the ground.
And the wind was still blowing.
Liu Xiaohua faced the strong wind and tried her best to fix herself in place. But the wind was so strong that her weight and strength were limited. I couldn't use any force under my feet, and I was blown straight backwards. The weight of her whole body was almost all on it, the only hand that grabbed the door frame.
Liu Xiaohua used all her strength, her nails picked at the door frame, scratching deep blood marks, but her whole body still slid backwards little by little.
Finally, she couldn't hold on to it anymore and let go of her hand.
Just when she thought she was going to be blown away. Suddenly, there was a heavy weight under my feet. It was as if someone was holding her feet, and she steadied it all at once. Hurriedly reached out and reached the frame again.
Someone in the car called something. Blown by the wind so that I couldn't hear clearly. Liu Xiaohua could feel that the voice was coming from the person under her feet.
Zhou Qing and a few people seemed to understand. climbed in the direction of the car door one after another, and after a few more people, Liu Xiaohua stood more steadily.
She breathed a sigh of relief.
In this way, a group of people stood up in the wind for about a pillar of incense, and finally the wind slowly subsided, and then calmed down. Although the haze outside the car was still there, the sound of the roar in the haze disappeared.
Everyone was in shock. Collapsed on the ground panting.
Liu Xiaohua realized that it was the young man who had not spoken all this time who was holding her legs.
He didn't know what he had been hit, and his hands were covered in blood. But I don't seem to know much about pain, and I don't have a painful expression on my face.
Cheng Zhengzhi saw the layer of white ash and asked with palpitations: "What is that?" β
Liu Xiaohua shook her head. There are only a few records of Shi Haze in the Codex, and only the few sentences she has read. However, this thing was clearly brought by the wind. When it was gone, the booming sound was gone. It can be seen that although it is invisible to the naked eye, it has a body and weight.
Maybe it's the smog of adulthood.
When the haze is young, it is foggy. When you become an adult, you become invisible. It also makes sense. It's just that she's not entirely sure.
"Alright, whatever it is, it's dead." Cheng Zhengzhi let out a long breath and said to the young man with a grin: "Hey, buddy, what's your name?" That's pretty impressive. As soon as he stabbed down, he nailed his hand to the ground without blinking. β
Liu Xiaohua hurriedly looked at the young man, and sure enough, he was putting away a blunt dagger.
At that time, he was probably afraid that the two of them would be blown away, so he nailed one of his hands and hugged Liu Xiaohua's leg tightly with the other.
"Are you alright?" Liu Xiaohua wanted to see his injuries.
The young man's fingers were white and slender, as delicate as a rich boy who had never done anything. Seeing Liu Xiaohua stretching out his hand to himself, he shrank a little, but after Liu Xiaohua grabbed his wrist, he didn't resist anymore. just glanced at Liu Xiaohua quickly.
There was a big bloody hole in his palm. The blood didn't flow too much, though.
Liu Xiaohua asked, but no one in the car brought medicine to treat injuries.
I had to comfort him: "Senior brother, there must be medicine there." After thinking about it, he said, "Shall I blow it for you?" Whether this action can alleviate the pain is, of course, not scientifically based, but at least it can play a psychological comforting role. Let the injured person feel a little better. It's like a foreigner draping a blanket over a person in distress.
"It's fine." The young man's expression was flat, and he withdrew his hand and tore off a corner of his clothes.
Liu Xiaohua saw that one of his hands was inconvenient, and hurriedly said, "I'll come." Wanting to take the strip of cloth, the boy ignored her, stood up with the strip of cloth and walked to the place where he had been sitting, bit the end of the strip of cloth with his mouth, and wrapped it familiarly with himself.
Hot face sticks to cold pluton.
Cheng Zhengzhi wanted to laugh, but Liu Xiaohua turned around and glared at him fiercely.
He made a gesture of begging for mercy and stopped laughing. Turning around, he followed the boy awkwardly, sat down next to him, and smacked his lips, "It's all right." You're King Kong!? β
At this moment, another voice came from the mist!
This time it's a ringtone.
Liu Xiaohua turned around and was about to grab the jade pendant and stand up.
Cheng Zhengzhi snatched it and said, "How can you let a girl do this." It also makes me majestic. As he spoke, he shouted to the other people who were still panting, "You are dead people, why don't you come over and hug the master!" After a while, the master was blown away, look where you are crying. β
Linglong's face turned red all of a sudden, and she said angrily: "I'm not ashamed!" "But I still went with everyone.
Xu Sijiu is also surprisingly agile, not losing to He Wen'er. I must also realize that it is the most important thing to survive at such a moment. I don't care about anything else.
"Lingβ"
There was another sound in the fog.
The people in the car held their breath, and none of them spoke again.
Just listen to the bell, once, once, slowly, straight, come this way. The last sound, as if it was a step away.
Liu Xiaohua stared nervously at the sea of haze outside the car door.
When the bell rang again, it was already past the car. Where is it going?
Listening to the sound of the bell and continuing to walk forward, Zhou Qing couldn't help it, lowered his voice and asked, "Didn't you say that Shi Haze eats sound, why can that bell be transmitted?" β
"All things in the world, whether they are magic weapons or spirit beasts, are mutually reinforcing. Sometimes haze can make people lost, and naturally there is a road bell that keeps people from getting lost. Liu Xiaohua patiently explained, "But although I know, I haven't seen it." If you had asked more detailed questions, I wouldn't have been able to answer. β
Zhou Qing looked at her deeply and didn't ask again.
At this time, Linglong suddenly said, "The bell has stopped." β
The distance where the bell stopped should be where the car Zhang Fengnian was riding was located.
The seven people in the car suddenly became nervous. What does it mean when the bell stops there? He who bears the bell does not know whether it is good or evil.
The bell stopped for a moment, and then suddenly, it rang again.
As the bell rang, the car-driving puppet that had been hanging like a falling shelf suddenly sat up straight, shook off the whip, and the car creaked and started.
"Is it the road bell of the uncle?" He Wen'er was happy, "It's okay?!" β
Zhou Qing frowned and said, "If it was the master who was holding the road bell and just passed by our car, why didn't he come up and take a look at us?" Even if it's just to say something to us, it's right. β
The atmosphere that had been somewhat relaxed was restored.
I don't know if it's friend or foe when the car gets moving again. I'm afraid that I will come out of the haze and enter the tiger's mouth again.
Xu Sijiu immediately looked at Liu Xiaohua and asked, "Xiao ...... Uncle Xiaoshi, what do you say? "The anticipation in my eyes is not false at all.
The others also looked at Liu Xiaohua together.
They may not like her, but Liu Xiaohua has proven herself and proved to them that she can deal with the crisis correctly.
These people, although on the surface, did not say anything. But in my heart, there was inevitably some surprise and admiration. Although they may not be younger than Liu Xiaohua in terms of age, if this matter is put on them, they will definitely not do better than Liu Xiaohua.
So they have to admit that her opinions are trustworthy, and they trust and rely on her.
Liu Xiaohua suddenly felt the burden and pressure on her shoulders. I was a little flustered.
She has been a marginal student since elementary school, and she has never been the center of any small group, nor has she done any leadership work. When she is forced to fight against others, she can still use the fastest means to achieve her own goals very freely.
But when many people trusted her, and at a critical moment they were all willing to listen to her advice, and she was looking to her, she suddenly became a little timid, afraid that she would make a wrong judgment, betray all the trust, disappoint everyone, and put them in danger.
Liu Xiaohua was silent for a while, not wanting others to see her subtle apprehension. Try to be calm and confident,
Because they need a backbone that will give them a sense of security. She can't let these people see that she has no bottom in her heart, and when the time comes, the situation will definitely get worse.
"The situation is unclear now, and I think it should not change. Wait until the haze is out. Do you guys have any better ideas? β
The others were silent for a moment, apparently thinking seriously, but finally shook their heads.
Liu Xiaohua is apprehensive, and there is a novel sense of loneliness. She herself is still scared all the time, but she has to bear the safety of others?!
Do all decision-making people have this kind of helplessness at the beginning? Fear that your decision is wrong, but there is no one else to rely on.
Liu Xiaohua tried her best to make her voice sound calm and credible: "Put away everything that can still be used in the car." Find something to defend yourself into. β
Everyone rummaged through the mess.
Liu Xiaohua only found a bottle of rootless water that I don't know which person had fallen out of the package. Others, they are all useless things.
Liu Xiaohua took out the codex that had not written a few pages in her arms, tore a leaf, and wrapped up all the white powder that fell on the edge of the car.
Finally, there were several unkempt people in the car, some holding table legs, some holding hairpins with sharp horns, and some holding a broken teapot spout, which was used as a weapon with the sharp side facing outward. They clung to these things in their hands, looked at each other, and suddenly felt sarcastic. I knew that I was out to practice, but now I found out that I had brought some useless things. Except for He Wen'er's jade pendant given by the master. Other things, when they are in crisis, can't help them at all.
So, all of them had heavy expressions. If there is a next time, they will definitely bring something useful.
"It's out." Xu Sijiu said suddenly at this time. She leaned in the crack of the car window and looked out, her voice was both happy and worried, "There is no haze anymore." β
At this time, the car also suddenly stopped.
Somebody is coming this way.
Xu Sijiu was so frightened that he immediately closed the curtain of the car. Everyone tightened the 'weapon' in their hands again.
Then, the door was pushed open with a bang. A figure appeared outside the door in the backlight
