0002 Strange Death
When Zhu Yan and Su Ya opened their eyes again, they suddenly found that they were in a completely different world from before-in a hundred birds chirping, the mysterious gray sky overhead, the light like silk threads barely passed through the gaps in the dense bushes, it looked so faint, the dense plants, the steep rocks, the ancient trees that seemed to be tired if the wind couldn't help but be vivid, the strong and hard branches, the plump and straight grass, like sharp blades, almost pierced their skin.
Faced with this sudden scene, Zhu Yan asked in a panic, "Where is this?" Why are we here all of a sudden? ”
Su Ya looked at a large tree with a lush, large body, and towering height, and her eyes were straight in shock: "I don't know what kind of place this is... This tree... It's just too big... What kind of place is this...", and when he was relieved, he seemed to remember something: "Could it be that we have crossed over?" ”
Zhu Yan glared at Su Ya in disbelief and asked, "Crossing?" What crossing? ”
"You don't even know about 'crossing'? It is a popular genre in web novels. There are also a lot of such themes on TV, such as "Palace Lock Heart Jade", such as "Step by Step", such as ......"
Before Su Ya finished speaking, she saw Zhu Yan frowning and her face flushed and said with annoyance: "I don't want to listen to any time-traveling novels, I just want to go home now." Tell me why we're here all of a sudden? ”
Su Ya squinted at Zhu Yan and said, "You think too highly of me, if I knew why we suddenly came to this inexplicable place, maybe I would have a way to get out of here." ”
Zhu Yan looked blankly at the surroundings full of trees and long grass, and turned back to Su Ya again, "What about our road?" What about street lights? What about the building? And what about our home? ”
Su Ya crossed her feet and looked at the dense forest in the distance, and replied after a while: "I didn't see the road, street lamps and buildings, I think home should be on the road ahead." ”
Zhu Yan also looked into the distance with her feet crossed, and finally turned back in disappointment and asked Su Ya, "Where is it?" Why didn't I see it? ”
"My mother once said: There is no road in the world, only because there are more people walking, it will gradually form a road; As long as you dare to explore your own path, sooner or later you will find your own home, and you will naturally find your own home sooner or later. ”
When Zhu Yan heard this, her brows furrowed even more, and while pouting, she quietly bent down and sat on the root of the tree beside her, holding her knees with her arms, and no longer paying attention to Su Ya's actions, but said angrily: "I deceived others, I didn't see my family at all......"
A cool breeze crept through the branches and leaves of the trees, and the long grass, blowing on Su Ya's body, and Su Ya only felt as if a cold sword slashed across her face. She looked down at Zhu Yan, only to see that Zhu Yan was still sitting silently on the root of the tree with her head hanging and her knees hugged, not worried at all about the cold wind that seemed to have an omens passing by.
Su Ya also squatted beside her and asked her tentatively, "Zhu Yan, how long are we going to stay here?" ”
Zhu Yan replied lightly: "I don't know." ”
Su Ya looked up at the faint light through the lush foliage, turned around and continued to ask Zhu Yan, "We're just sitting like this?" When it gets dark, what can I do when tigers, leopards, and jackals come? ”
As soon as she heard this, Zhu Yan's body shuddered violently, and she immediately stood up and blamed Su Ya: "Don't say those scaring words, okay?" ”
"Scare whom? In this place where there is no village in front of you and no shop in the back, and there are so many trees and so tall grass, it would be strange if there were no tigers, leopards and jackals, this is not a place for humans to stay at all, this is obviously their world. ”
"Tiger leopard jackal", usually Zhu Yan has palpitations when she hears these words, but now she is in this kind of place, how can she not be afraid? In order to keep Su Ya shut up and stop mentioning these to scare herself, she had to beg for mercy and said: "Okay, okay, as long as you don't mention these scaring words again, then you can do what you say!" ”
"What to do? Go ahead and see if there is a way out. It's better than waiting here to die! ”
"Alas, don't mention 'dead' or not, I don't sound awkward. You say go, just go, don't always scare me, okay? ”
There was no way, Zhu Yan could only let Su Ya lead her, left the place, and explored into the depths of the dense forest.
-----------------------
The two of them didn't know how long they walked, but they felt that their shoes were getting heavier and heavier as if they had been poured heavy stones. Not only that, but along the way, all the places you pass are always uneven, either dirty mud or lush grass in the way. The enchanting and rugged roots of the tree are entrenched at the feet, and sometimes it is impossible to tell whether it is the root or the snake. Worst of all, they often come across snakes the size of tree roots and similar colors crawling slowly in front of them.
And the dusty gray sky that was getting closer to dusk was like a curse, always following them inseparably. I don't know how many times, they drove away the mosquitoes and flies as big as fingers that were entangled with them, and the long endless road consumed their increasingly weak bodies. But fortunately, the constant dodging and driving away obstacles along the way actually made them gradually forget their fear.
Zhu Yan felt more and more weak, and her eyes became more and more slim, and Su Ya also felt that her stomach was "grunting" with hunger, and her body was becoming more and more lazy and weak.
The two leaned on each other, holding each other firmly, and walked aimlessly. Suddenly, Zhu Yan asked Su Ya softly, "When are we going, and where can this road lead?" ”
Su Ya wiped the sweat from her forehead and replied helplessly: "There will always be an end." ”
"What if there's a cliff at the end?" Zhu Yan was slightly disappointed in her voice.
"Then there will be another way." Su Yaqiang cheered up and replied to her.
"What if, there is no other way?" Zhu Yan's words were even more resolute.
"Then come out of here!" Su Ya replied calmly.
"The point is that before I can get out of the way, even if I don't die of exhaustion, I will die of hunger and thirst!"
As soon as Zhu Yan's words fell, the two of them suddenly stood there at the same time, listening attentively to the voices around them.
I only heard a familiar sound of "whoosh" poured into Su Ya and Zhu Yan's ears at the same time, Su Ya hurriedly pushed Zhu Yan's arm, and said excitedly: "Zhu Yan, listen, it seems that there is a sound of water?" ”
Zhu Yan pursed her interfering lips, and a red light seemed to appear on her dull face, "Let's go and have a look!" ”
The two of them held each other again, listening carefully to the movement of the near water source as they searched forward.
Finally, a deep green lake surrounded by cliffs and ancient trees comes into view.
Zhu Yan couldn't wait, let go of Su Ya, and ran to the lake. Su Ya raised her head and looked at the lake carefully, only to see that the lake water was turbid, the lake was full of floating objects and green algae, and in the distance of the lake was a mountain cliff with no top in sight.
"Be careful!" Su Ya suddenly shouted: "This water may not be drinkable, and the green algae may be poisonous!" ”
Zhu Yan, who was in high spirits just now, wanted to drink when she ran to the edge of the lake, but when she heard Su Ya say this, the hope in her heart seemed to plummet again, "But I'm so thirsty!" ”
"No matter how thirsty you are, don't take any chances, maybe, we have other hopes, let's go!"
Zhu Yan stood there motionless, staring blankly at the lake in front of her, and turned around helplessly, just about to walk towards Su Ya.
Suddenly, the lake was flooded with waves, and a big gray snake as big as a train suddenly came out of the water, with a bloody mouth and sharp teeth, staring at fierce eyes, and suddenly exited Zhu Yan's back, and was about to drill into the lake after holding Zhu Yan. Zhu Yan was stunned by what happened in this Shunma, and a miserable scream pierced the sky.
Su Ya was also taken aback by this scene, and in a hurry, she picked up a large boulder from the ground, lifted it vigorously, and then ran to the big snake and smashed it into its eyes.
Perhaps the serpent didn't believe that such a small animal would dare to challenge it, and without the slightest evasion or defense, it was hit in one eye by a stone thrown by Su Ya. Instantly, a moan came, and it spit out Zhu Yan from her mouth, and Zhu Yan was thrown to the edge of the rock, only to see her lying on the ground lifeless, as if she had fainted.
For Su Ya, this stone may be a heavy weapon, but for the big snake, it only caused it a little bit of injury. But Su Ya's action still angered the big snake, and I saw it climb ashore gently, raise its head, spit out a letter in its mouth, and looked at Su Ya intently, approaching her step by step.
Su Ya was stunned by its huge body and terrifying eyes, so that the steps back were always trembling, and it was worth stepping on a stone, her legs were so weak that she could no longer stand, and she felt her heart tremble, and she sat on the ground. She panicked and wanted to stand up, but she didn't want the snake's face to be close in front of her, so she could only raise her head in horror and stare at the snake's huge eyes.
The big snake seemed to see this opportunity, and once again opened its mouth to swallow Su Ya, Su Ya could only see the two giant fangs of the big snake, and when it approached, he stood up suddenly, and then held its two giant fangs with both hands. But how could she compete with the big snake lightly according to her small physique, she was still easily swallowed by the big snake, and was squeezed by the big snake with his lips on her weak body, and the snake's sharp teeth were as hard as iron, and she had already cut through her thin skin and tender flesh-like hands, only to see the bright red blood sliding down Su Ya's arms, drop by drop, not only soaking her cuffs and clothes, but also dripping into the big snake's mouth.
Just when Su Ya's life was on the verge of dying, she suddenly saw the big snake unusually, suddenly opened its mouth, and spit out Su Ya with gravity, and Su Ya was thrown heavily on the grass. Although her head hit the ground and hurt a lot, she felt a little dizzy, but after a few moments, she finally came to her senses, she sat up with her hands propped up, and then looked at the serpent in wonder, wondering what it was doing unusually, and observing what it was going to attack next.
But the scene in front of Su Ya was stunned, the big snake as big as a train not only stopped attacking Su Ya, but it suddenly became irritable, or it could be said to be in pain, it rolled its body, from the shore of the rock, all the way to the lake, the moan of pain gradually turned into a heart-rending howl, it kept swinging in the lake, and the splash in the lake was enough to kill any animal that passed. As its wails grew louder and more violent, Su Ya gradually saw the source of its pain. She stood up involuntarily, walked slowly towards the serpent for no apparent reason, and looked incredulously at the source of the pain - only to see that the serpent's skin suddenly began to fester, and the blood immediately broke and scattered, soaking its eyes, and the bloody snake bones were exposed, as if someone had forcibly skinned them alive. Goodbye, the ulceration area is getting bigger and bigger, and in the process of ulceration, the body of the big snake is actually flying blood, while emitting light smoke, as if it has been burned and corrupted by sulfuric acid.
In just a few minutes, a huge python like a train was burned to death by a sudden fester, and in the miserable, sad, and painful screams, it turned into snake bones, and the thick snake blood stained the entire lake red. Even at this time, you can still see bubbles on the surface of the lake, as if the water is boiling, and those snake bones gradually sink in the bubbles, and disappear into the lake forever with further corrosion for unknown reasons.
Su Ya watched this scene with horror, staring intently at the place where the big snake disappeared, wondering what happened to this amazing scene?
Even after a while, the lake gradually regained its previous calm, but in Su Ya's heart, it seemed that there was still a shadow that she couldn't explain.
When Su Ya felt the burning pain in her palms and arms, she looked down and found that her palms and arms were still bleeding. She had just been injured by a snake's fangs, and the flesh on her palms and arms had been bloodily lifted, and the spread of the wound made her feel a faint pain. She hurriedly ripped off a few strips of cloth from the lining of her underwear, imitating the ancient people on TV, and tied the wound tightly. But she was still glad that despite her own wounds, she did not feel incomparably painful and unbearable. Suddenly, she remembered Zhu Yan again, so she looked in the direction of Zhu Yan, but saw that Zhu Yan on the side of the rock was not only safe and sound, but also sat up quietly, even though she looked like she was rubbing her head listlessly. Seeing this, Su Ya hurriedly ran over, held Zhu Yan's shoulder and said, "Zhu Yan, are you okay?" ”
Zhu Yan looked back at Su Ya with the voice, then looked around again, and was stunned for a while before replying, "I'm fine, what happened just now?" ”
"That big snake just now, I don't know why, actually died, anyway, it's okay now!"
Zhu Yan stared intently around the lake, blinked, and looked; Then she rubbed her eyes again, looked at it again, and then turned around and asked Su Ya, "Is the scenery around here real?" ”
Su Ya also followed Zhu Yan's gaze to look around, only to see that the surrounding scenery was very different from the gloomy scenery just now-the cold cliffs were covered with moss at some point, the turbid lake water became clear and blue at some point, even the green algae and floating objects just now disappeared without a trace, the lonely shore and the edge of the rocks grew green grass and flowers at some point, and the sharp branches and mysterious ancient trees produced all kinds of fruits at some point.
Seeing this scene, Su Ya was surprised again: "Why did the scenery around here change in the blink of an eye? ”
