Witch Country Chapter 129 The Road Downstream (Part II)

The group continued to go downhill in the night, swimming past the blocked tributaries, even though they were exhausted, but still unwilling to give up.

But in fact, there are still some people who can't support it, so they can only stay there and wait for recuperation. And those who can persevere will continue to follow the An River.

The pace of the procession was not slow, the wet swamp ground was not able to stop the crowd from its tracks, and the river gradually flattened out, slowly beginning to descend, albeit extremely slowly.

The heavy clouds that had been dense in the sky had also dispersed most of them at this time, and the stars that had been obscured before now jumped out again, shining their light in the night sky, and the crescent moon quietly hid behind a cloud, and hid half of its body, looming like a shy girl.

The forest was swept out of the river by the tributaries of the river, and many of the trees fell down, and the tributaries continued to flow towards the forest, and the swaying branches and leaves were filled with the sound of broken insects, which played a pleasant nocturne.

But the hearts of the people seemed to be pressed against a very heavy stone, and they were all breathless, and they were not in a happy mood to appreciate the beautiful melody of the nocturne, but their eyes were blank, their bodies were stiff, and they walked numbly, and rushed downstream like a walking corpse.

The only thing that moves them is that when they swim in the water, their faces become hideous because of the severe pain.

As the team moved forward, An Qing was lying on An He's back at this time, resting her head on the broad and warm shoulders, so that she would have a comfortable sense of security, the music of insects and the whispering of slow water, and then blended with the tiredness of the body, so that An Qing fell asleep.

"Dad, have all those uncles, uncles, and brothers gone home now?" An Qing asked, rubbing her eyelids and eyelids.

She didn't want to go to sleep like that.

An He looked over and said softly: "No, because it's night, everyone won't be able to return home until early tomorrow morning." ”

"Why?"

An Qing asked puzzledly, the current environment here is so bad, why haven't they returned home?

"Because at night, it is impossible to set foot in that forest, which has been handed down from generation to generation, and when you step into the forest, you will become a white skeleton, with no flesh and blood, and your soul will be scattered. ”

An He didn't know if it was deliberate, and lowered his voice, making this kind of whispering even more strange in the dim night.

Sure enough, An Qing shrank her head, looking frightened by An He's words, and turned her head to look at the forest that was not far away from the group, it was pitch black, and there was no light in sight, only the sound of the branches and leaves shaking.

"You must not be intimidating......"

An Qing's little hand pinched on An He's shoulder, blaming An He for deliberately trying to scare himself.

"I didn't lie to you, this is really a warning that has been handed down in the village, if you don't believe it, you can ask your uncle and them, but don't wronged my poor old father for no reason. An He put on a look of being wronged, but his tough face suddenly became pear blossoms and rain, and he looked so pitiful.

An Qing glanced at An He, naturally believing what he said, but she was still not happy that he was scaring herself with such a pretended low tone, and couldn't help but deliberately tilt her head away and no longer talk to An He.

An He smiled helplessly, his joke seemed to be too big, which made the little girl on his back feel unhappy.

"Wouldn't we be too close to this forest? There shouldn't be an accident, right?" a man opened his mouth, looking at the gloomy forest with some fear, and turned his gaze to An He, the pillar of the team.

But before An He could speak, Yao Shui patted the man on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, there will be no problem, unless we go into the depths of that forest, otherwise, we will not encounter danger." ”

"That's good, thank you. The man relaxed at this time, and said with a self-deprecating smile: "Look, I was in such a panic that I even forgot about this stubble, for fear that something would happen......"

"It's okay, it's human. ”

An He said, seeing the solemn expressions on everyone's faces, he felt that he had more than enough strength but not enough strength, if his ability could be greater, maybe he could deal with all this before the river skyrocketed, then naturally there would not be a situation like now.

In the final analysis, I am still too weak.

"Daddy, how long are we going to go? It's where I've woken up. An Qing pointed to the tributary in front of her and whispered, "That's where I woke up and went all the way up to find you." ”

"Is this the right place?"

An He walked over and looked at the tributary in front of him, the height of the river was actually not too high, but for An Qing, it was also going to be overheaded, as for himself and the men, it was not an obstacle, just put his legs in and dripped water.

Repeating the old trick, the dragonfly jumped over this small tributary like a little water, and An He looked carefully ahead in the faint moonlight, thinking for a moment, and then turned his head and said to the people behind: "Ahead, it is the last section of the road, and we will soon reach the dam!"

"Has it already arrived?"

"So fast?"

"However, ...... still not found"

The crowd began to be agitated, and all the way down, they had been observing the river, and if there was any trace, they would immediately look for it, but the harvest was only to see the clothes torn by the turbulent water in the river twice, and not even half a figure was seen.

And the people who were swept away by the river, how can there be hundreds, and I didn't see half of them all the way, and the last part of the way to the dam was ahead......

"Let's go, it's useless to think about these things, let's take one step at a time......," someone said aloud, and everyone nodded, and then began to flow through the tributary, and the cold river overflowed the legs of everyone, as if there were cold silver needles constantly piercing their legs, and they were piercing into the bones, without mercy.

Everyone gritted their teeth and pressed forward, if they stayed for a few more moments, their legs would be frozen by the cold water, and they would no longer be able to move. Many of them turned pale and cold sweat broke out on their foreheads, a painful journey.

"Dad, what are you talking about the dam? can't we go any further?" An Qing, the curious baby, asked about An He again, very interested in the dam he was talking about.

"You'll see it later. ”

An He rarely sank his face, looking at the men who had flowed through the tributaries who were already physically exhausted but still holding on, he always felt a deep sense of powerlessness in his heart.

Now they can only lead them by themselves, Wen Xue and her mother-in-law to start the inheritance ceremony of the witch, which means that their group cannot get their help.

An Qing saw An He's expression, as if she had seen through what he was thinking, her mouth opened, but she didn't say anything, because she really didn't know what words to say, so she could only lie on his shoulder gently, hoping that this would make An He's heart feel better.

The crowd had already walked up, and a few of them were sneezing one after another, so loud that they shook the forest and began to reverberate, and the shivering men no longer had the same vigor as the day.

In contrast, it was more like a sick and frail patient, with a pale face, with large bruises and scars all over his body, only the eyes on that face still had an unwavering light.

An He didn't speak, but silently continued to walk down, and the ground that was originally full of dirt gradually changed its appearance, and scattered stones began to appear, which were round, milky white, and of different sizes. When you step on it, it makes a crisp sound.

The milky white stones gradually became more numerous and larger, from the size of the largest finger to the size of a baby's small fist, and the sound of stepping on them became more crisp.

An Qing looked at the milky white stones on the ground, feeling very novel. He lay on An He's back and swayed his head, but suddenly, An He stopped walking, and An Qing's head hit his back.

"What's wrong, Dad?" asked An Qing, holding her little brain.

"It's here. An He replied.

An Qing's eyes immediately widened, and everyone behind them also looked over, and the scene in front of them made them unbelievable.

In the place where the river rushed down without the boundary, under the starlight of the night sky, in front of everyone, was a tall dam, which seemed to be ten thousand feet high, and as far as the eye could see, the top was already in the sky, and if you looked at the dam horizontally, you could not see the edge hidden under the night.

And when I looked to the left, I saw the dam that shone with a cold glow under the moonlight, and even the forest was cut off, and I didn't know where it was connected, and there was no end in sight.

Just quietly resting on the constantly rushing river, it makes people feel magnificent and uncrossable. Looking down at the dam, there was a large hole, the edge of which was about a foot above the river, and the river rushed into the hole in the dam like a caged beast.

This is the end of the lewdness.

Such a strange scene at night.
