【040】Midnight Terror
We exited the house and went to move all the firewood that had been deposited by a few families not far from the house. After enclosing the house with dry wood, we set it on fire.
I didn't go to see the situation in the house, and Zhong Linlin didn't say anything.
Needless to say, I know what's going on inside. Otherwise, Zhong Linlin wouldn't have asked us to burn the house directly.
Looking at the skyrocketing fire that ignited in the house, I asked Zhong Linlin, "What happened to the cooking smoke before?" ”
When Zhong Linlin heard this, she glared at me with disgust. Then he let out a long breath and said to me, "In the kitchen, there are traces of a fire. I checked it when I went in. The stove in the kitchen is still hot. That's what it did! ”
As soon as she said that, I immediately understood.
Could she be glaring at me in such disgust? If I were her, I wouldn't want anyone to talk to me about these things again. Because it's disgusting and uncomfortable to think about.
It's just that it uses fire, and it also uses a stove, which surprised me very much.
In order not to cause Zhong Linlin's discomfort again, I didn't continue to ask about the things in the house.
"What are we going to do now?" I asked.
"You ask me? Then I ask who to go! Zhong Linlin glanced at me dissatisfied.
I know she's in a bad mood and is angry with me.
But I can also understand her. If I had gone in and seen those things, I might have been more irritable than she was.
"Take a break! Wait here for a while. After the fire was smaller, we found a place to settle down first. I said.
When Zhong Linlin heard this, she pulled a bag without saying a word, and sat down with a gloomy face.
Seeing that she didn't object, I said to Xiao Qiu next to me: "Xiao Qiu, when this matter is over, you can contact Master Huiling and see if he can arrange a Buddhist person to come here!" ”
However, before Xiao Qiu could answer me, Zhong Linlin said: "No need to contact, I have already sent a message to Huiling's little bald donkey, he will come over as soon as possible!" ”
Hearing her words, I scratched my head and smiled at her: "That's fine!" ”
If Hui Ling can come over in person, it will naturally be a good thing. After all, in terms of single-wheel excess, their Buddhism is indeed good at it.
After waiting for more than an hour, the fire gradually decreased.
When we set off from Baishan Town, it was already noon. It's getting dark here. There's nothing we can do today, so we'll have to find a place to settle down.
Originally, I was going to find a random place to live around here. But Zhong Linlin was reluctant and insisted on staying away from here.
So, we had to obey her wishes and return to the entrance of the village.
I found a slightly more spacious family at the entrance of the village, and after simply packing up the two rooms, we took out our respective sleeping bags, which can be regarded as settling down.
It was already completely dark, and the village was poor. But the power system is still connected.
After we had a brief bite to eat, we discussed the night shift.
In such a place, we dare not all go to sleep, we must keep a vigil.
After discussion, we decided that Xiao Qiu would guard the first half of the night, I would guard the middle, and Ye Tie would guard the second half of the night. As for Zhong Linlin, the two girls are exempt.
After the arrangement, everyone else went to rest.
Xiao Qiu and I walked around. Then we sprinkled a circle of glutinous rice flour around the house where we lived.
Then, to be on the safe side, I also laid out a few simple formations around the house.
After doing this, I chatted with Xiao Qiu for a while before going back to my room and sleeping in my sleeping bag.
However, when I lay down, I felt very sleepy, but I didn't feel sleepy. It's rare for me to see what happens. In general. As long as I want to rest, no matter what the situation, I can fall asleep quickly.
However, I don't know what happened today, but I felt like my heart was hanging all the time, and I felt like I was lying on the edge of a cliff, as if I could fall into the abyss at any moment.
"Ouch......" I sighed and sat up.
"Brush ...... The wind is blowing, and the bamboo forest outside the window is swaying....... Make a soft sound. I didn't think there was anything wrong with these sounds when I first heard them, but after listening to them for a while, I felt as if there were footsteps in the "brushing" sounds.
However. When I listened carefully, there was only the sound of the swaying bamboo forest of "brushing".
What the fuck is going on? I turned on the Ombudsman and Listening Officer, but I didn't find anything out of the ordinary.
Thereupon. I tried to close my eyes and rest again.
But a moment after closing my eyes, I heard some faint footsteps.
I'll go! What the fuck it is.
I climbed out of my sleeping bag and walked out the door.
"Brother Bing! Why are you up again? When Xiao Qiu heard the movement, he turned to me and asked.
"That ......," I coughed lightly and asked him, "Is it all right?" ”
"No! What's wrong? Did you find anything wrong? Xiao Qiu asked me a little nervously.
"Uh...... No! I waved my hand.
However, I talked to him for a while, and at his urging, I went back to my room to rest.
This time, after lying down, I silently recited the heart purifying mantra several times.
With the help of the Purifying Heart Mantra, I quickly calmed down and fell asleep in a daze.
I don't know how long I slept, and I felt a little shaking my body: "Brother C! Brother C! ”
I woke up. See it's Xiao Qiu.
"Brother C, it's time. It's your turn for the night! Xiao Qiu said to me.
I slowed down a bit, then sat up quickly.
The time of this night duty was agreed in advance, and the shift had to be changed at the end of the day. In this way, we can ensure that everyone has enough time to rest.
"Great work! You rest! "I climbed out of my sleeping bag and put on my coat.
I looked at the time. It's already one o'clock in the middle of the night. I walked outside the door, sat down on a chair in the doorway, and shook my head to clear myself.
In the middle of the night, in such an uninhabited village deep in the mountains, it is quite uncomfortable.
But in order not to disturb the rest of the people, I didn't move around.
Minutes and seconds passed.
It was about two o'clock, when suddenly, a slight "click" sound came into my ears.
It sounded like something had been knocked over.
This made me feel nervous, and I quickly stood up and listened carefully.
However, when I listened closely, I could only hear my own "thump" heartbeat.
But until I'm sure something is wrong, I can't make a fuss and give a warning and make the other people up.
I pulled out my mahogany sword and held it in my hand, and continued to listen.
But after listening for a while, I didn't hear anything unusual.
So, I breathed a long sigh of relief and sat down again.
However, as soon as I sat down, I heard a "thunderclap". There is also a low roar of "hiss" in these sounds.
There is a case!
I'm sure there's a situation!
I stood up, then turned on my flashlight, ran two steps towards where the sound came from, and shone my flashlight on it.
In the light of my flashlight, I saw a gray thing, something that looked like a dog and something like a monkey. Its blood-red eyes glowed in my flashlight.
"There is a situation!!" I immediately shouted!
"There is a situation!"
"There is a situation!"
I shouted several times.
And the thing was standing there, staring at me motionless in the light of my flashlight.
Being stared at by it like this, I quickly felt a chill in my back.
What the hell is this, I made such a big movement and was surprised that I didn't take it away.
"Roaring ......"
It was then that I saw and heard its low roar, and then I saw it walk towards me step by step.
Seriously, I was really scared.
But I also know that I am afraid that I can't solve the problem, and before Zhong Linlin and them get up, no matter what the situation, I have to deal with it myself.
I tightened the peachwood sword in my hand, slammed it across my chest, and recited the incantation in my mouth.
"Wind Thorn!" I let out a low cry and stabbed the sword in my hand at the monster, and a fierce wind burst out from the tip of the sword and slammed into the monster.
"Roar!" I saw that the monster was very nimble, and it shook to the side, avoiding my attack. Then he let out a shrill roar and lunged at me......
