Chapter 127: Ghost Strikes the Wall
The team became more and more tired, some people crawled in the sand and stopped walking, and Huaiyong also lay down on the sand and did not move.
Mei Renhou looked at the exhausted team, his face pale. Liu Zhongyi walked up to Mei Renhou, gasped and said, "Master, take a rest before leaving." ”
Mei Renhou looked up at the sky, and the sun had just slanted overhead. It's the hottest time of the day.
He sighed, and just wanted to give an order to let the team rest, Zhongyi hurriedly admonished on the side: "Master, don't rest!" Mei Renhou and Huaiyong both stared at him.
Mei Renhou wiped his forehead, and it was no longer sweat, but oil.
He said: "It's going to be the hottest weather, and if you lie down and don't die of thirst, you'll burn to death." ”
As soon as Mei Renhou heard this, he swallowed the command back into his stomach, and let the group members muster up their spirits and continue to move forward. But the man who was lying on the ground was so weary that he would not get up.
Mei Renhou first persuaded him with good words, but no one listened. He got on fire and kicked with his feet. One of the regiments begged, "Master, I really can't walk." ”
Mei Renhou said: "If you can't walk, you have to walk!" He saw the four-eyed dog lying on the sand in a blink of an eye, and scolded angrily: "Four-eyed dog, why are you also pretending to be a bear on your dog day, hurry up!" ”
The four-eyed dog didn't move the nest. Mei Renhou walked over and kicked him in the ass and scolded, "You are looking for death!" This is not your hot kang, if you lie down again, you will die! ”
The four-eyed dog said weakly, "Master, you just let me die." I can't stand this sin. ”
"If you don't get up, I'll kill you!"
"Give me a shot, and let me die a good death."
Seeing the four-eyed dog like this, Mei Renhou gritted his teeth, picked up the belt in his hand and beat it down.
The four-eyed dog sat up like a snake. He saw that Mei Renhou was really angry, and he didn't dare to disobey the order anymore, so he struggled to stand up. The other soldiers who were lying down also struggled to get up when they saw the four-eyed dog on a leash, and walked forward with all their might......
The team continued to move forward, each dying as best they could, despite their lack of energy.
Suddenly, the sharp-eyed four-eyed dog barked in surprise: "Look! ”
Mei Renhou hurriedly raised his eyes, and there was a faint touch of green in front of him. The surprise of the sudden arrival made him feel dizzy and unable to stumble on his own.
He quickly stood up, rubbed his eyes and looked again, the green was about a mile away, and Huaiyong, who was walking behind him, also saw it, and shouted excitedly: "We have walked out of the Dead Man's Beach!" ”
Everyone ran up to the sand beam, saw the green, hugged each other and shouted: "Saved!" We are saved! But his face was full of tears. Even the three female captives were excited, and a long-lost smile appeared on their haggard faces.
At this time, Liu Zhongyi suddenly said: "Could it be a mirage?" ”
Mei Renhou's heart suddenly cooled.
Huai Yong said on the side: "The sun is about to set, it will not be a mirage." ”
Mei Renhou became excited and shouted: "Speed up!" ”
When I got closer to the green, I saw that it was a poplar forest. The excitement and joy of the group members just now suddenly subsided a lot.
Mei Renhou carefully inspected the poplar forest and had doubts in his heart. Liu Huairen walked over, pointed to the most conspicuous and stout poplar forest with the word "Ya" on the edge of the forest, and whispered in his ear: "Master, this seems to be the poplar forest where we camped a few nights ago?" ”
Mei Renhou's face was pale, and he stared at the big poplar and didn't say a word. In fact, he saw the clue before Liu Zhongyi.
At this time, I heard Huaiyong shout as if he had seen a ghost: "Master, let's turn back again......" sat on the sand, beating the sand with his hand and cursing the sky.
Everyone also saw it clearly at this time, and fell on the sand nest like cramps, crying, screaming, howling and scolding, as if the sky was about to fall.
"Call a ball!" Mei Renhou scolded loudly, and his mood was extremely bad. "It's just that the sky is falling, with me on top, what are you afraid of."
But who still listens to him at this time.
Although Mei Renhou said very hard in his mouth, he was very desperate in his heart. Helpless, he sat on his feet, his eyes staring desperately at the place where the campfire had been lit that night. There was a pile of ashes.
The three female prisoners gathered together, whispering, and seemed very active.
When Qiu Meizi saw the "girl" poplar for the first time, she wondered: Isn't this coming back again? A chill ran out of her heart, and it was completely over.
At that time, she had an idea, and when she walked out of the Dead Man's Beach, Mei Renhou and they might release the three of them. But after walking for several days, I turned around and walked back, but I was thirsty and hungry, and I was tired to death. She couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
Damei was overjoyed, and scolded in a low voice: "The dog's day has turned back." God destroy them! ”
Qiu Meizi muttered: "What are you happy about, they can't get out, and we have to die." ”
Damei said, "Hmph, it's impossible to say who will die or live." ”
Qiu Meizi lay on the sand, no longer silent, closed her eyes and recuperated.
Although she was very tired and tired, she did not feel sleepy. She thought back to where she had followed the bed bugs to hunt and how she had walked back.
It was getting late, and she rode out of the desert in a daze after the group.
At this time, looking back, my mind seemed to be a cold mess, and I couldn't figure it out.
Qiu Meizi couldn't sleep, and the sound of the soldiers cursing hit her ear drums. She gloated a little.
The whole team collapsed. The members of the group clearly saw that they were already in a desperate situation, crying and cursing the heavens and the earth. On weekdays, they only obey the orders of the chief, but at this moment, they don't pay attention to the commander at all, who still takes care of the three female prisoners.
A few of the Tuan Ding even scolded Mei Renhou by name and brought them to the Jedi.
Mei Renhou didn't say a word, he felt guilty in his heart, and let them scold.
Gradually, the scolding stopped. The soldiers lost the strength to curse and lay on the yellow sand pebbles like a mess of corpses.
Mei Renhou was in a terrible mood, but he hadn't completely lost his mind. He wondered what the hell was going on. When he was a child, he heard the old people talk about ghosts hitting the wall, and that happened to Wukui next door. Wukui is a small merchant who goes out early and returns late every day to do business.
One day to close the stall, it is already full of stars, don't rush back in a hurry. Ten miles away, but he walked for two or three hours and still couldn't see the village. It was only at dawn that he appeared in circles in a large moat. Well-informed people say that the fifth master met a "ghost hitting the wall".
Could it be that they also encountered ghosts hitting the wall? If this is the case, the lives of a group of people will be lost in this desert Gobi.
In fact, this barren beach is not as vast as the desert. If you go in one direction, you will go out in four or five days. However, Mei Renhou and the others lost their compass, and entered the hinterland.
Strange to say, there seemed to be a long invisible wall around them that blocked them, and they just circled around the wall. This is the folklore of "ghosts hitting the wall".
One leg of the person is slightly longer than the other, if you walk in a large square without knowing the direction, the footprint is a circle, Mei Renhou They did not understand this mystery at that time, thinking that they had encountered a "ghost hitting the wall".
Mei Renhou leaned against the trunk of a tree, reached into his pocket with trembling hands, and felt for a crumpled paper cigarette for a long time.
In the past few days, he has touched this cigarette countless times, but he does not want to smoke it because of extreme thirst. He brought the cigarette to his mouth, and his lips were chapped with blood, and he couldn't hold it. In a fit of rage, he crumpled the cigarette into a froth. Suddenly, he heard footsteps, turned his face and saw that it was Huaiyong.
Huaiyong sat next to Mei Renhou, he was exhausted, thirst and hunger left him with only a large skeleton.
He sighed, "We've really hit the hell this time." ”
"Have you ever heard of ghosts hitting walls?"
"I've heard of it. Could it be that we have encountered a ghost hitting the wall? ”
Huai Yong nodded vigorously.
Mei Renhou asked, "Have you ever encountered a ghost hitting a wall before?" ”
"I haven't encountered it, but I've heard people say that you just walk in circles with a lot of effort, as if a ghost has hit a wall."
Mei Renhou was silent, and scratched the sand with his fingers, inadvertently marking the word "water". He stared blankly for a long time, and smashed the word "water" with one punch.
Huai Yong suddenly said, "Master, there may be a water source nearby. ”
Mei Renhou sat up straight suddenly, and hurriedly asked, "Where is the water source?" ”
Huaiyong said: "This poplar forest is not small, and there must be water where trees can grow. ”
Mei Renhou said: "I thought so too, but I just couldn't find water. He threw another punch at the sloppy word "water."
Huaiyong was silent.
The two of them were silent, staring blankly at the western sky.
