Chapter 101: Mountain Sacrifice (4): The Second Man
No way, I checked it in the morning, and this door is indeed locked from the outside, and the inside can't be opened. Confused, I got up and walked down the slender passage, bending down to look at the door. The gate valve was still tight, and there was no difference between it and the morning.
"This is it! Girl, just open it! I'll wait for the rain to stop and leave! "The man outside must have heard my movements, and said urgently.
I suspiciously opened the door, only to hear a creak, and the heavy wooden door staggered open! My eyes widened in surprise as I met the man in front of me by the light of lightning.
"Ahh
I was pushed hard by him and fell to the ground. He immediately entered the door and pulled the door valve up, and the dripping rain on his body fell to the floor, as if the man had been carried out of the water.
"I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry, I'm sorry!" He noticed me lying on the ground and hurriedly helped me up. The moment my fingers touched my skin, the clammy and cold sensation spread throughout my body, goosebumps rose, and I consciously retracted my hand.
"Ah, I'm sorry, I ......" He was a little at a loss, not knowing whether to help me or not, and froze in place for a while.
At the moment, my eyes were still at the gate, and I couldn't understand why the door that I couldn't open in the morning suddenly opened now. I can't go out now and leave this place. But it was windy and rainy outside, and even if I went out, I couldn't find the way to the mountain, and even the person in front of me had to take shelter from the rain here, what should I do?
"Are you ......" he glanced at me from above through the light, "this dress ......"
"Sacrificial garments." I replied, and then I shifted my gaze from the door to him.
This man in his thirties was drenched in the rain, his hair was hanging down on his head, and his skin was the same color as Luo Fangyong. Coupled with the navy blue clothes on his body and the whole body dress, there is no doubt that this person is a nearby villager. However, the aura exuded by his body was different from that of Luo Fangyong's group of villagers, with a faint bookish atmosphere, which looked crepe.
"Oh, that's it......" His eyes were empty for a while, and he immediately introduced himself, "I'm Luo Dingbo." in the mountain village. You are? ”
Why, doesn't he know that I am the one who was sent for a living sacrifice?
"I'm not local," I didn't answer him directly. "What are you doing in the mountains so late?"
He smiled and said, "Pick herbs and cure diseases." With that, he suddenly coughed violently. The whole body shook violently with the sound of coughing, and the bones of the emaciated body were almost collapsing.
"Ahem...... I'm sorry...... Ahem......" he forced a smile. He lowered his head and coughed violently. I'm really worried that he'll cough up blood if he coughs up like this.
"Are you alright...... I have pears here, do you want to eat them? ”
"No need...... Ahem...... Just wait a minute. He waved his hand, inhaling deeply to steady himself, gurgling phlegm in his throat. Soon he stopped coughing.
The place where he was sitting was where the roof seeped water, but at the moment he didn't feel any water dripping, and he was still sitting there. I watched as drops of water kept falling on him. There's an indescribable weirdness in the psyche.
Forget it, hold on. When the rain stops, I'll go to the mountain, and I'll leave this hellish place no matter what. I thought to myself.
"Girl, can you tell me your name?" He broke the silence and looked up to ask, just as a lightning bolt flashed outside, and a pale light illuminated his thin face, and a bright scar appeared on the right half of his face, where he had opened his hair, and looked extremely hideous.
My heart moved, and somehow I always felt that I couldn't tell him my name.
"Wu Li, my name is Wu Li." I rambled nonsense.
"Wu Li......" he muttered my name, as if recalling something, "I also know a person with the word Li in his name, just like you, very beautiful." ”
I smiled awkwardly, not knowing how to respond. I just hope that this night can leave me soon. Luo Dingbo saw that I didn't answer, so he had to stop talking. However, looking at his frequent movement of his head, it seems very uneasy.
"Bang bang bang!" The door that had just been closed began to shake violently again.
"Is anyone there?"
"Borrow a place to take shelter from the rain!"
"Open the door!"
Luo Dingbo and I looked at each other, who is this? Why are so many people in the mountains at this time? However, judging from his expression, he was also surprised, it should not be someone he knew.
"Miss Wu, open the door, I know this point is not comfortable outside." He looked at me with supplicating eyes.
This time it was a woman shouting outside the door, and her voice seemed to float on the other side of the clouds through the sound of rain and thunder.
"Open the door!" He begged again.
I wondered why he didn't open the door and called me if he wanted the woman in so much. But now that I've already let one in, I don't care about one more. Besides, one more person means more safety in this atmosphere, and I don't want to spend the night with this suspicious man in front of me.
Standing up, I walked to the door and pulled the valve open. A soaking wet, trembling woman with her arms in her hands turned at me and immediately staggered in.
"Thank you......" she said in a slightly trembling voice.
Like Luo Dingbo, she didn't look at it after she entered the house, and sat directly next to Luo Dingbo, that is, the end of the rain. I watched the leaky area grow bigger and bigger, and the droplets kept falling on them, and I had an indescribable feeling in my heart.
By the light of the room, I began to take a closer look at the woman in front of me. She looked younger than I was, her hair tied up in a bun on top of her head, sparse strands of hair sticking to the sides of her forehead in the pounding of the rain, dripping down her cheeks. Her blue and white dress was attached to her side, her delicate skin exposed in front of me through the white fabric, and a bag was placed beside her.
When did this package appear? I had just paid attention to her, but I hadn't noticed that there was a black cloth bag next to her. But this bag is very deflated, and I can't see anything in it. The woman didn't like to talk, hugging her knees and shivering, not recovering from the cold outside.
"What's your name, girl?" Luo Dingbo asked as usual.
"Satsuki." The girl replied, her voice soft and soft, coming from her trembling body.
Syllable.
Another drop of water fell on them, why can't they feel it? (To be continued.) )
ps: I took the first emergency exam today, I wish me a good luck
