Chapter 409: Deep River

Night gradually fell, and the sound of insects and wild beasts sounded all around, and the night sky seen through the dense foliage was like a pair of beast's eyes, approaching Kong Wuli's prey little by little. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Kong Wuli was terrified to the extreme, and shouted loudly: "Don't come, don't come." ”

He shouted and got out of the nest, jumped to the ground in desperation, and fled outside with a crawl.

When he ran forward as hard as he could, he vaguely heard a voice in his ear saying: "The deep mountains and Daze are all places that absorb people's essence, and it is not suitable to stay alone for a long time." ”

He felt his head buzzing, and before he had time to think, he asked, "What?" ”

As soon as he asked, he felt frightened, he was afraid that a powerful ghost would suddenly jump out.

But no one responded.

He slowed his pace a little, and looked back, but he couldn't help but be frightened at the sight of himβ€”there seemed to be a myriad of snake-like things chasing after him. He was so frightened that he ran forward like a dead man,

Run, and leave this fear, this illusion or the real horror far behind. Run, and leave all the past behind.

The fat and weak Kong Wuli ran forward like a madman, thorns cut his legs, sharp stones pierced the soles of his shoes, pain to the bones, blood flowed, but he didn't care about it, just blindly ran forward.

I don't know how long it took, but a river in front of him blocked his way, and he was so afraid of the things that were chasing him behind him that he plunged headlong into the water.

Kong Wuli can swim, but he deliberately hides his swimming skills and allows himself to sink little by little.

Although the river is not wide, some sections are extremely deep, and Kong Wuli, who closed his eyes tightly and let himself sink, only felt that time seemed to suddenly freeze, and everything around him gradually became unreal.

Maybe in a quarter of an hour he will be unconscious forever, is this the result he wants? As he sank deeper and deeper, he couldn't help but ask himself.

But now even he couldn't figure it out, and he felt like he was in a chaotic zone.

Suddenly, something slammed into his head, and he suddenly woke up a little, and the question just now came to his consciousness again.

Is there a way to continue to live? He asked himself.

Unless it can be of some use to others, he replied immediately.

What else can he do to others? He asked himself again.

At this question, he suddenly came to his senses, and swam to the shore with all his might.

He's still somewhat useful, he knows, there are still people who need him.

It's just that maybe he'll really have to die when he does that little bit of use.

Then die, at least then he won't feel that death is not worth it.

However, he was still very afraid of death. His mood became tangled again. In the end, he chose to swim towards the shore.

When he went ashore, Kong Wuli realized that his luggage was still leaking in the mountains, but he suddenly remembered the words he heard in his ears when he ran away, so he didn't dare to turn back and get it.

Then don't do it.

Now, he has nothing but himself. But he suddenly felt a sense of relief that he had never felt before.

Then it's time to think about the next step.

Since I didn't dare to go back to the mountains to live, I had to go closer to the people. The thought of living in a place where people could easily find him was unconsciously afraid.

Wherever he is, he will be afraid, so it doesn't matter where he lives, as long as he can have a place to stay, he said to himself with his heart horizontal.

So he staggered down a path to the left.

After walking for about two quarters of an hour, a room suddenly appeared in front of me. Kong Wuli hurriedly stood still.

The smoke wafting from the roof told him that there were people living in it.

Kong Wuli took a quick look around and saw that there were mountains and forests all around, but there was a path on the east side that stretched straight out.

The smell of food came from the house, and the hungry Kong Wuli couldn't help but swallow a few mouthfuls of saliva.

It had been a long time since he had eaten a decent home-cooked meal.

However, the fear of contact with people made him afraid to take a step forward. He thought about it, and finally turned around and walked towards the path to the east.

As he walked, he wondered what if he built a house like this family and lived here.

Here, it's more fun to only deal with this family than to live alone in a tree, right?

He then scolded himself for changing his mind so quickly, but he vaguely felt that the idea was feasible.

So he turned around and walked timidly towards the house.

Kong Wuli went to knock on the door, and waited for a while before someone came to open the door. Kong Wuli saw that the other party was a woman in her thirties.

Although she was wearing a very simple cloth dress and did not have a hair ornament on her head, there was something in her delicate face that made people calm, and Kong Wuli was stunned for a moment.

"Are you passing by?" The woman asked.

Kong Wuli hurriedly said yes.

The woman invited him to come in and sit down.

When the woman fumbled and picked up the teacup on the table, Kong Wuli knew that she was a blind person, and her mood couldn't help but be a little complicated.

"You live alone?" Kong Wuli asked.

"Hmm."

"How can you take care of yourself?" Kong Wuli asked again.

"That's it."

"Where's your family?"

"My husband died last year and I have a son who died after my husband died." She said, her smile suddenly gone.

"Gone?" Kong Wuli frowned.

"Well, it's gone, I searched everywhere, and I didn't find it for a whole month." She said, tilting her head slightly.

"How old is he?"

"Seven years old."

Kong Wuli didn't say anything more.

The woman asked, "Where are you from?" How did you get here? ”

It's not a must-see for travelers.

Kong Wuli drank all the tea in the teacup in one gulp and said, "I am from Beizhili and I am a monk. He added: "I go everywhere, and the four seas are my home." ”

The woman nodded and said, "If you don't mind, Master, you can have lunch here and then continue on your way." ”

Kong Wuli paused slightly, and said with a smile: "How embarrassing is this? ”

The woman also smiled and said, "It's okay, it's just some coarse tea and light rice, and I hope the master doesn't mind." With that, she went to the kitchen.

Kong Wuli thought about it and followed.

"I don't need your help." The woman said that the meal was quickly prepared.

Although it was just two plates of very ordinary dishes and a bowl of white rice, Kong Wuli felt that this was the most delicious meal he had in the past three years.

After the meal, Kong Wuli thought about how to tell her that he wanted to build a house here to live in.

When a monk wants to settle here, he always finds it difficult not to arouse suspicion in others.

Dear friends, the second watch is here.
