Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Rat

Ling Jiuchuan didn't answer, and involuntarily took a small step back.

"Are you really afraid of this?" Shu Kui also wiped the wound with his other hand.

Ling Jiuchuan lost his previous momentum and retreated slightly.

"Get out of the way, let me go." Shu Kui took a step forward.

Ling Jiuchuan was silent, staring at Shu Kui's hand tightly, with doubts in his eyes, but more unwillingly.

"Still want to try?" Shu Kui stretched out his hands and moved forward again, looking very sure on the surface, but in fact, he was so nervous in his heart.

Ling Jiuchuan narrowed his eyes, as if he knew that Shu Kui was just bluffing, and he was not as afraid as before, but smiled lightly and pointed to the other corner of the stone room.

Shu Kui subconsciously looked along his fingers, and found his sister Shu Di standing there straight, with her head down, her hair scattered, and her clothes in rags.

In an instant, her mind was completely confused, as if she had been frozen, unable to move an inch, unable to say a word.

"Take me back." Shu Di's voice was hoarse and he stretched out a hand.

Shu Kui was dumbfounded, ignoring all the things he had been doing all the way before, and only had one thought for a while: this is Xiao Di, her missing sister.

"Help me, take me back." Shu Di raised his head and walked over step by step.

In Jin Shengshi's not bright light, Shu Kui saw that his sister's face was full of tears, and there were many large and small scars.

"Where have you been? What happened? She couldn't help but ask.

"Take me back, please, take me back first." Shu Di's face was full of pain, and he stopped to cover his face and sob.

Shu Kui felt very distressed when he saw her like this, and tears poured out, so he habitually wiped his eyes.

And the moment I opened my eyes again, all the qiē was wrong.

The stone room, Ling Jiuchuan and Shu Di all disappeared, and there was a Jin Sheng stone on the ground, which was shining in front of Shu Kui, pointing at a sharp thorn in her left eye, as long as she took a few more steps, she would be splashed with blood on the spot and die here.

She immediately reacted, this should be another illusion, and the culprit who created this qiē was probably the big rat all over the ground.

Shu Kui's heart suddenly rose with unprecedented anger - the disappearance of her sister has always been a huge knot in her heart, she is both worried and blamed herself, and now, these rats actually made a fake Shu Di out, and tried to lure her to kill her, which really made her a little unbearable.

As soon as he thought of this, the warm current in his chest reappeared, and it only took a second to come to the palm of his right hand, Shu Kui didn't think about it, and raised his hand almost instinctively.

Immediately, a gust of wind blew in the passage, and the rubble carried with it, like small projectiles, struck the rats and heads with great precision, and within a moment, there was blood everywhere, and corpses were all over the ground.

The surviving rats were dazed by the wind, squeaked and screamed, scurrying around, and soon disappeared into the darkness.

The wind gradually stopped, and the silence in the passage was restored, Shu Kui saw that there was nothing strange nearby, and couldn't help but feel weak under her feet, and wanted to sit on the ground, but she was afraid that once she slackened, she would no longer have the strength to continue walking, so she gritted her teeth, picked up Jin Shengshi, and walked towards the little light that was always in front of her.

Fortunately, the rest of the road went smoothly, and after a few minutes, she passed through a hole more than a meter in diameter and stepped onto the ground full of dead branches and leaves.

The forest here is not as dense as before, and the moonlight shines through the branches and leaves, dappled and dappled, Shu Kui, who grew up in the city since he was a child, can't distinguish between the southeast and the northwest, thinking that as long as he walks to the low ground, he can always go out of the mountain.

But soon, a cliff in front of her proved her idea completely wrong.

It turned out that the place where she had just come out was on one side of the col, and further down was the bottom of the col, and now, naturally, she had reached the other side of the col.

At this time, Shu Kui was dumbfounded, neither advancing nor retreating, and he didn't dare to walk around, for fear that this black light would blind him, and if he was careless, he would disturb some beast, and he would not be able to eat and walk around.

Just as he was in a hurry to catch fire, there was a sudden noise on the slope in the direction of the cave, and then something rolled down.

Shu Kui was startled, and hurriedly hid behind a big tree, squatting on the cat's waist, showing only a pair of eyes, and looking out.

It was a person who rolled down, and when he stood up at this time, it was Brother Qi who was guarding outside the cave.

As soon as Shu Kui saw his face, his whole body was numb, and his first reaction was to run away immediately, but subconsciously, he felt that something was wrong with him, so he endured his panic and looked back more.

At this glance, she found that Brother Qi was actually closed.

Shu Kui looked strange, and forgot to run away for a while, but continued to be behind the tree, staring at Brother Qi's every move.

I saw that Brother Qi was like sleepwalking, staggering two steps, suddenly the color of the ground changed, he shouted, pulled out the sword at his waist, and began to attack continuously, one move after another, fast and ruthless.

Shu Kui looked at the tip of his sword, but he didn't notice anything abnormal, as if his opponent was a transparent person.

Brother Qi fought with the invisible enemy for a moment, and suddenly fell down sweating profusely, his face was bloodless, he covered his chest, and coughed vigorously: "Senior brother, it wasn't my idea to poison you alone, why did you find me?" ”

After finishing speaking, he tilted his head sideways, as if listening to someone, and the more he listened, the more ugly his face became, until finally, it turned into a dead gray color.

"Okay, good, in that case, then ......" He clenched the sword in his hand until the back of his hand turned white, and with a look of resentment and despair, he raised his sword and killed himself.

In the next second, the sound of Suosuo sounded in the woods, and the group of big rats with white tails seemed to be surging, quickly gathered around the corpse, and began to lick the blood on the ground, and one or two anxious ones had already leaned over and bit the corpse's fingers.

Shu Kui, who saw Yiqiē in his eyes, felt a chill in his back and was also very afraid, thinking that if he hadn't suddenly woken up just now, he would have also entered their stomachs.

At this time, one of the fattest rats seemed to sense something, raised its head and twitched its nose a few times in the air, turned its head to the place where Shu Kui was, and did not make any movement.

Gradually, the other rats noticed the abnormality of the big rat and turned their heads away.

Being stared at by hundreds of pairs of green and faint eyes again, Shu Kui's heart was even more frightened, and he felt that the eyes of these rats were very fierce, as if they were ready to rush up and eat her alive.

At this thought, she couldn't care much more, and she didn't have time to review all the things that had happened in the passage just now, so she hurriedly stood up and climbed up the cliff with her hands and feet.

At first, the rats just stared blankly, but after a while, as if coming to their senses, they squeaked and squeaked, and the corpse was abandoned, and the big rat took the lead and followed.

Shu Kui didn't dare to relax at all, climbed the branches and stones, and tried his best to go up, until he reached the top of the cliff out of breath, and then dared to turn back.

Fortunately, the rats did not chase here, and disappeared at some point.

At this moment, the sky has faintly revealed some fish belly white, looking at it from a high place, the field of vision is full of different shades of green, under the breeze blowing, gently swaying and swaying, occasionally one or two unknown birds fly low, leaving a few chirps, the whole environment reveals a trace of quiet and serene atmosphere, far from the previous horror and blood.

Shu Kui watched the silver moon set in the west, the morning sun dyed the clouds red little by little, and dispelled the darkness little by little, as if he had finally woken up from a nightmare, let out a long breath, could no longer stand, and sat on his knees on the ground, his heart almost jumped out of his throat.

After a long, long time, she recovered a little, found a fairly flat place, and as soon as she lay down, she slept without knowing anything.

When she woke up, the sun was high in the sky, Shu Kui was hungry and thirsty, and she got up with the pain of falling apart, and the first thing she did was to take out a band-aid from a fang ring and paste Ling Jiuchuan's family crest, and then, she wanted to go to the neighborhood to find out if there was a hunter's house, or at least a mountain stream was also good, but she was completely unfamiliar with the terrain here, and she got lost after a few turns, and couldn't find the place where she slept anymore.

At this point, she calmed down, and with a kind of helplessness that could only be resigned to fate, she casually picked a direction and decided to take one step at a time.

And this walk was a few days and nights, during which she ate wild fruits and drank spring water, and as soon as it was dark, she was so worried that she did not dare to fall asleep, for fear that once she fell asleep, she would immediately become the delicacy of those big rats.

When the evening came again, the bloody remnant sun filled her exhausted heart with despair, and she unconsciously thought of the scene when she walked out of the road and came to the sinking forest, so that when she saw the two doors in the distance in a trance, she thought that she was hallucinating.

"I'm supposed to be dead, this is probably a ghost gate." Muttering to himself, Shu Kui walked towards the two doors, and the more he looked, the more he felt that it was very similar to the brass gate at the end of the sheep intestine path.

When she got closer, she realized that these were actually two wooden doors, and there were no small windows on them.

"Anyone? I'm here to check in. She reached out and knocked twice on the door, trying to raise her voice to speak, but her voice was hoarse and low.

"What does the guest officer need?" There was an immediate response from inside the door.

"Braised hooves, Coke Sprite, I want to take a bath, change into clean clothes, and ...... bed," Shu Kui replied dizzily.

"Okay." The man in the door was not at all surprised by the reply, "Come in, you can live, but no one will send you back - do you want to come in?" ”

"Live? Am I not dead yet? Unfinished life? Shu Kui decided that it was the Netherworld Mansion.

"Do you want to come in?" The man in the door asked again.

"Come in, let me in." Shu Kui thought, it was more important than anything else to survive.

"Welcome to Liujin Village." After a warm welcome speech, the two wooden doors slowly opened.
