The night sky was covered by clouds, and the moonlight was blocked by layers of clouds, unable to make people see the beauty of the goddess of the moon.

"Hiccup...... Hiccup...... "Full of wine and food, he burped contentedly, the sound was so loud and long, it could be called the roar of an evil dragon, and the air was suddenly confused and a strong smell of wine, Li Shugen smelled it himself.

I don't feel sick to my stomach, but I feel comfortable, and I even want to pour a few more mouthfuls of yellow soup, the forest at night is so quiet that I can't even hear the birds' calls, and the insects that call an endless stream at night on weekdays are surprisingly quiet this time.

His family lives in the forest, dozens of families gathered together, became a small village, on weekdays by taking some mountain goods, occasionally hunting for a living, coincided with today's friend marriage, Li Shugen in order to congratulate his friend, this is the city.

As soon as they were happy, they couldn't help but take a few sips of wine, and the group of people went their separate ways only when they made a fuss, and the shadows slipped between the bushes on both sides, making the sound of knowing the sway, which, combined with the dark environment, made people feel panicked.

Li Shugen walked on a small road, his body staggered, and people couldn't help but wonder if this drunk would suddenly fall, fall into some pothole, break his head and bleed, or fall into the river, fortunately, there are only woods and no river in the southern suburbs.

There are no roads paved with cement and asphalt between the trees, and the roads are only maintained by human trodden, as a certain sage said: "There is no road in the world, and when there are more people walking, it becomes a road." "So the road is not in very good condition.

There were potholes everywhere, and the roots of the large trees on both sides were high and low, and the light was dim, but surprisingly, although the roots of the plum trees were shaking, they walked steadily.

Unlike ordinary drunks, he didn't stumble and walk because of poor road conditions, and the sheep intestine trail under his feet, not to mention walking thousands of times, even with his eyes closed, he could touch it, so getting drunk was not a big problem for Li Shugen.

But why is it so strange today? I felt irritable in my heart, more and more annoyed, the nameless fire that inexplicably sparked, Li Shugen's heart was very uncomfortable, and the strange calm made him feel upset, and the speed under his feet couldn't help but speed up.

I wanted to go home as soon as possible, lay on the bed at home and slept a lot, and I slept until I woke up naturally, walking and walking, Li Shugen felt that something was following him behind him, and there seemed to be some strange sight watching.

got angry and turned around and scolded: "Damn, who follows Lao Tzu?" But in the field of vision, there was nothing, only a few fallen leaves, "Don't let Lao Tzu catch it, or it will kill you." With the strength of the wine, he began to babble gibberish.

"Am I feeling wrong?" Without much thought, Li Shugen continued to walk, and within a few seconds, that strange feeling appeared again, and the strange gaze increased, from one to two, and the number of things peeping at him increased.

"Drafting the uncle, hiding and thinking about something, whether he wants to fight or rob, Lao Tzu will accompany you, hide from your uncle." The anger surged again, and Li Shugen turned around and cursed, his voice echoing in the deep woods.

All returned to his ears, perhaps because of the two fires, Li Shugen's wine also woke up a little, and his hand reached into the left pocket of his pants and touched it, fortunately, the knife he usually brought when he walked at night was still there, "Tsk, Lao Tzu also has a big heart." ”

"If you drink too much, you dare to put a knife in your pants, don't stab yourself for a while." Thinking of this, he quickly shifted the tip of the knife to an outward-facing position, and after a roar, the eyes of the watchers disappeared again, and did not appear for several minutes.

During this period, Li Shugen stayed where he was, he wanted to see which little thief was following him, if he was caught, he would definitely teach him well, Uncle Li was also a person to be messed with? "Count your acquaintances, find someone else to rob the road."

With a mouthful of thick phlegm on the ground, Li Shugen continued to walk forward, and as he walked, he found something wrong, those strange sights seemed to have increased, and if he spoke in detail, for the first time, it seemed that he was looking at himself alone.

The second time it was two, how can there be a feeling that three or four people are staring at themselves now? And today's woods are a little too quiet, in the past, insects chirping, birds chirping, all kinds of noises are noisy, by no means such a sense of tranquility.

It's like, everything that can scream is gone, and it's hiding from something, "No, it's a bit long." Li Shugen clearly remembers that the length of the path is less than 500 meters, and beyond that is the commissary of the village head.

There is a big lamp at the entrance of the commissary, which is transparent all around, by now, how can I walk two or three hundred meters, there is only a small section of dense trees in the woods, I should have seen the big lights of the village chief's house a long time ago, but what about the lights?

Is there enough light to blink blindly? Everything didn't seem to be quite right, and after a few tremors, Li Shugen's wine suddenly woke up halfway, and he brushed off in a cold sweat, "I, I won't be a ghost hitting the wall!" ”

He thought so, listening to the old people in the village say that ghosts hit the wall and wander in place no matter how they walk, and there is also a saying that no matter how far you go, you can't go out of a certain place, "Don't panic, don't panic, don't be superstitious, believe in science." Despite constant psychological comfort to yourself.

But Li Shugen felt that there was little effect, and the panic in his heart intensified, and a gust ......of wind blew over, which frightened Li Shugen's hair to stand on end, and he was extremely nervous, and his left hand unconsciously clenched the knife in his trouser pocket.

"Ancestors, adults, the little ones haven't done anything bad, don't look for me for your life, go to the enemy......" Under the effect of fear, Li Shugen's speech was a little unfavorable, and he seemed a little incoherent.

Suppressing the fear in his heart, he felt that it was not a good idea to stay here, and his feet stepped on the withered and yellowed fallen leaves, and he walked through a forest path, and his vision not only did not improve, but became darker.

Obviously it was only early autumn, but there was a solemn breath in the air, and it was very sad, as if it was already deep in autumn, and the cold wind was blowing, and Li Shugen felt that his body temperature was a lot colder, as if he was sucked away by the wind.

Sniffling, he smelled a little weird and asked, thinking about it in his mind for a moment, and in an instant his brain exploded, as an amateur hunter who hunted occasionally, Li Shugen couldn't be more clear about this smell, it was the smell of blood.

In the breeze, mixed with the smell of fishy rot, Li Shugen twitched his nose, and his slightly obese body was shaking, this smell was not a good thing, and the things that were often accompanied by the smell of blood were death.

Human beings are full of awe and disgust for death, whether it is Eastern and Western cultures, they are unwilling to blur the boundaries between life and death, "It's okay, it's okay, Li Shugen, don't be afraid, you have to be brave and firm in your materialist beliefs!" ”

Patting his chest with his hand, Li Shugen tried to soothe his extremely fast heartbeat and calm his restless heartbeat, "Surely the smell of blood left by a hunter hunting, well, yes, it must be so, maybe there is a dead rabbit or something among the bushes." ”

The projectile passes through the body, and the part of the body that carries blood and flesh will definitely cause blood to splatter, and what is the creature that is shot? A strong curiosity that belongs to humans is aroused, and it is not only cats that will kill curiosity.

More than that, it was humans, and he moved cautiously in the direction where the smell of blood had drifted through, and the strength under his feet was much lighter, for fear of making too loud noises and attracting the attention of some creatures, stepping on the soft soil of the woodland.

Li Shugen left the trail and entered the jungle next to him, and not long after he left, several small heads poked out from among the bushes, and they looked at the direction Li Shugen left, and shook their heads helplessly.

"He shouldn't have gone there, there's something dangerous there, this human is hopeless." One of the small figures said, "We tried our best, and we had already confused him into not letting him go, but he was still attracted." Another figure said.

"No way, our strength is too weak to compare to those dangerous things." "Yes, yes, this world is also dangerous, should we go to the next world again?" "Huh? But we've only been here for a short time. ”

Several small figures were talking, they were hidden in the shadows, and they couldn't see their true faces, and Li Shugen turned around a tree, and in the blink of an ear he heard a hoarse cry of a strange kind, which didn't sound like any animal could make.

It seems to be full of hatred and appetite, yes, it is these negative feelings, Li Shugen can feel these things from the sound alone, while thinking wildly, he continues to walk forward, he wants to know what it is, to make such a sound.

Pushing aside the bushes in front of him, looking at the shadows and shadows swaying in front of him, the thick smell of blood came over, and it crashed straight into his nasal cavity, as if a thick film of blood had been applied to his nasal cavity, and Li Shugen finally saw what it was.

The foreboding in my heart exploded violently, and there was a circular hole in the ground in front of me, as if it had been dug out by hand, and in that hole, several human corpses were lying in the pit, mutilated.

Either the upper body is missing, or the lower body is missing, and even the inside of the abdomen is hollowed out, and the internal organs are eaten clean by the predator, and there is nothing left, "This, what the hell is this!" ”

He screamed, and ran wildly in the direction of the village, driven by fear, to tell everyone about it, to let everyone know, "Ah, he's still alive." "Well, he's lucky, that dangerous thing isn't there."

The little figure said happily.
