Chapter Twenty-Six: The Spirit Sheep
A seemingly sealed room, deliberately designed to be very retro, with wooden floors and walls. All the furnishings are tinged with ethnic colors. An irregularly shaped wooden table, which looks as if the entire thousand-year-old tree has been cut down at the waist, leaving a suitable height, has been uprooted and transported here. The rings seem to tell stories that no one knows. On the uneven tabletop, there are all kinds of strange things, seemingly messy but regular.
A beautiful woman sat quietly at the wooden table, looking down at the uneven tabletop. No one knew what she was looking at. After a while, she gently opened her lips and asked, "Do you want to let them in?" ”
Not far away, there was a majestic figure, who moved slightly when he heard the words, and said, "Do they have a problem?" ”
"It looks like a student. Nothing threatening. The beautiful woman opened her lips again.
"Let them in." With these words, the majestic figure suddenly disappeared out of thin air from the sealed room.
The woman received the order, and chanted words while tinkering
On the other hand, since Xu Yiyi found out that they had been following the old path, she simply stopped and rested on the spot. Eat something and drink some water. Anyway, no matter how you go, how long you walk, it's in vain.
"Senior, it's noon, right?" Zheng Jiayi asked Lu Xinwei while nibbling on bread, she remembered that Lu Xinwei had a watch, so there was no need to guess the time.
In fact, Lu Xinwei just looked at the watch not long ago, but he still picked up his sleeve and looked at it again, and then replied: "Yes!" Authentic midday time. We've wasted a lot of time here. After saying that, he sighed instinctively.
Zheng Jiayi just wanted to ask the time, but she didn't think that she would accidentally touch Lu Xinwei's affection, and while chewing bread, she hesitated to say something to comfort Lu Xinwei. However, in the current situation, it seems that it is easy to say that there are many mistakes. So, she could only cover her head and nibble on bread.
"You eat slowly, and I'll take a walk around again. Don't worry, I won't be far. Lu Xinwei said and closed the open bag, handed it to Wang Jun beside him, and got up to leave with only a Swiss Army knife for self-defense.
"I'll go too!" Xu Yiyi put down the mineral water bottle in her hand, picked up a knife and followed directly.
Lu Xinwei did not refuse, but just told Wang Jun and Zheng Jiayi to be vigilant and take care of their belongings.
The qiē happened so quickly that Zheng Jiayi had not yet had time to swallow the bread in her mouth, and she didn't have time to open her mouth to save it or ask to join. I could only watch the two of them leave quickly.
Wang Jun saw Zheng Jiayi looking at Lu Xinwei and the direction they were leaving, patted Zheng Jiayi's shoulder and said, "They will be back soon." Let's eat it next. After eating, pack up and wait for them. ”
Zheng Jiayi nodded. Maybe they'll find a way out, and then they'll be on the road together again. Suddenly, her eyes were drawn to a moving object. She let go of the bread in her hand, pointed into the distance, and said, "Look there! ”
"What?" Wang Jun also put down the dry food in his hand and looked up.
Zheng Jiayi shouted bread in her mouth, her speech was a little unclear, but she still tried to pronounce it: "Is that a sheep?" ”
"Huh?" Before Wang Jun could see clearly, he had already jumped up and said, "Could it be some kind of walking corpse sheep?" ”
Zheng Jiayi put the bread back into the plastic bag, threw it on the ground, stood up, looked at it carefully for a long time, and said, "It's not like it." No blood, quite a clean sheep. There must be someone nearby, right? ”
Zheng Jiayi said cautiously in the direction of the sheep.
"Don't. Jiayi, don't go over. Wang Jun was always uneasy, he had already seen the walking corpse rat, and he really didn't want to face the walking corpse sheep again, not to mention that this sheep also had a pair of sharp horns.
Zheng Jiayi didn't listen to Wang Jun at all. Just approach the sheep cautiously. She didn't want to eat the sheep, but she wanted to make sure that the sheep was not raised. If so, then there must be someone nearby.
"Jiayi!" Wang Jun saw that Zheng Jiayi was deaf, so he could only follow cautiously.
Suddenly, the lamb seemed to sense someone approaching. Become alert. Then he turned and jumped away.
"Not the Walking Dead!" Zheng Jiayi turned to look at Wang Jun happily, pointed at the sheep in the distance, and continued: "You see that it sees that people instinctively have to run away, instead of wanting to come and bite us. ”
"Yes!" Wang Jun's heart finally fell. At this time, it is lucky to see any living thing.
"It means that there are people nearby." The more Zheng Jiayi spoke, the more excited she became. "Let's not eat, clean up, and when they come back, we'll go over there." Just now the sheep were running that way. ”
As soon as they said it, the two of them happily returned to their places and began to pack their things. Zheng Jiayi couldn't help but hum a small tune. Suddenly, Zheng Jiayi's hand slipped and paused.
Wang Junzheng was cleaning up, and it took a long time to notice that Zheng Jiayi had maintained that action for a long time.
"Jiayi. What are you doing? Wang Jun straightened up and glanced at Zheng Jiayi.
"Hey! Jiayi. What do you think? Seeing that Zheng Jiayi had no reaction, Wang Jun could only stretch out his hand and shake it in front of Zheng Jiayi. However, there was still no response.
"Jia"
"Wang Jun, was there a road over there just now?" Zheng Jiayi's gaze was still glazed, and she remained motionless from her previous movements.
"What? What just had a road? Wang Jun scratched the back of his head, he felt that he must not have enough brain capacity, or the reflex arc was too long, or why couldn't he keep up with the rhythm of others?
"When the four of us were eating just now, was there a road in that direction?" Zheng Jiayi happened to have her back to the road that didn't seem to exist in the first place, and suddenly felt a little chilly behind her.
Wang Jun also suddenly felt that the hairs on his body stood up, and he stammered, "I didn't pay attention." It doesn't seem like there's any, right? ”
Zheng Jiayi turned around, looked at the road that appeared out of thin air, patted her head, and said, "This is probably what Yiyi said." The road was in front of us, we just didn't see it. ”
"What's wrong with you two?" Xu Yiyi's voice came from afar.
"Yiyi. Look at it. There is a way! Zheng Jiayi didn't care, she opened her throat and shouted.
Xu Yiyi and Lu Xinwei ran over quickly, looking at the road in front of them that had not been there before, you look at me, I look at you. Then Qi Qi looked at Zheng Jiayi and Wang Jun and asked, "How did you find out this way?" ”
"It's been here all along! We're still in the same place. Zheng Jiayi tried to explain: "After you left, I saw a sheep and wanted to chase it. And then the road came about. ”
"Spirit sheep!" Xu Yiyi muttered to herself. Although she did not inherit the ability of a hunter, she was still trained as a hunter since she was a child.
"Antelope?" Zheng Jiayi was stunned, "Oh yes, yes, it's an antelope, with a pair of horns." Zheng Jiayi said and put her two hands on the top of her head, imitating the appearance of an antelope.
"It's not an antelope, forget it. Have you packed your stuff? Now that we have a way, let's hurry up. Someone is waiting for us. Xu Yiyi looked at the distance with a complicated expression.
Zheng Jiayi didn't know what she was looking at. Anyway, it feels weird, and I always feel that it's not a good thing. She glanced at Xu Yiyi timidly, wanting to ask but embarrassed to ask. For example, if it's not an antelope, what kind of sheep is it? Like, why are people waiting for them. She really has a lot of questions. However, it's not just that I'm embarrassed to ask, I'm actually a little afraid to ask. For her, the world has not only entered a sudden end times, but also doubts about all the knowledge of the past.
