Chapter 19: The Echo of the Mysterious Worm (4)
But it was said that Yang Si pulled the tree with his hands and feet, and climbed to the nearest horizontal branch on the poplar tree after a few "rubbing".
I saw that Yang Si first clung to the trunk of the tree with both hands, and cautiously leaned out a foot to try the horizontal branch, feeling that it was very strong, not a dead branch that was about to fall off; Then I stepped on it twice more, and found that the horizontal branch only shook slightly.
At this time, Yang Si was very happy in his heart, and secretly said that the size and length of this branch were very suitable, and the branches were slippery, and there was not even a knotty tree on it, but it was not a bed that God gave me Yang Si?
I saw Yang Si take off the burden he was carrying on his shoulders, and then he fell down, lying on the horizontal branch impartially, the back of his head was resting on the thin branch at the end of the horizontal branch, which was really just the right size.
The only fly in the ointment is that the horizontal branch is too high above the ground, and from time to time there are gusts of breeze blowing.
Fortunately, it was a hot summer, and the evening breeze was very warm, blowing on the body not only did not feel cold, but dissipated the fire generated by walking against the sun during the day, and enjoyed it for a while.
Seeing this, Yang Si couldn't help but muttered in his heart: "This mountain wind is not so cold during the day, and it is not tight to rest for a moment at this time." I am afraid that the mountain wind will turn cool in the middle of the night, and if I continue to rest like this at that time, I will inevitably have the risk of catching a cold
After thinking about it, Yang Si secretly made up his mind, thinking that it was better to relax and sleep for a while, so that he could rest his legs and feet.
When the night falls, I will sleep more vigilantly, and once I feel cold, I will quickly get up and stretch my legs and feet; Let's deal with the past tonight, and then rush to the next stop tomorrow to find a clean and comfortable inn, and then lie on the bed and rest.
The plan was decided, Yang Si untied the outermost cloth of the burden, and used it to tie himself firmly with the horizontal branch under him, so as not to fall down the tree again without paying attention when he fell asleep at night and turned over.
After finishing all this, Yang Si raised his hands and feet, stretched his waist for a long time, and then closed his eyes and hands, and lay down on the branch to rest.
It's just that Yang Si was scared by eating the demons that could speak during the day, and he lost too much physical and mental strength under the wild running all the way, although he had been thinking about sleeping more vigilantly at night, he couldn't help but feel sleepy, and he snored loudly as soon as he closed his eyes, and he slept in a dark place.
I don't know how long it took for Yang Si to wake up slowly, and when he opened his eyes, he found that the surroundings of his body were already pitch black, and the moon and stars in the sky were sparse, and everything nearby was hazy and indistinguishable.
Seeing that the night was dark, Yang Si yawned, and then raised his hands and feet, wanting to move his legs and feet quickly.
But as soon as his hands and feet moved, Yang Si felt that the left half of his body, from the jaw to the shoulder socket, was cold and stiff, and his left hand couldn't be lifted even more if he wanted to, and he vaguely heard a "click" blowing sound in his ears.
Yang Si felt strange in his heart, so he shook his head vigorously and opened his eyes to the place where the blowing sound came from.
Who knew that when Yang Si saw this, his scalp was numb when he boarded!
I saw a skeleton the size of an apricot kernel that was shining with a faint cold light, and it was hovering back and forth around the left half of his body at the moment.
The skeleton kept opening and closing its jaw as it turned, blowing cold air towards Yang Si.
As soon as the cold air blown out by the skeleton sprayed, Yang Siton felt that he was being blown to the place as if someone had suddenly pasted a thick piece of ice.
Wherever this cold air blew, there was a biting coldness, and the hair, skin, and flesh immediately stiffened, and it seemed that Fang Cai's left hand was stiff and could not be raised as he wished, which must be due to this monster.
At this time, Yang Si was even more shocked, and in a hurry, he couldn't help but shout loudly: "There are ghosts!" ”
Who knew that it didn't matter if Yang Si didn't shout, this shout, the "click" blowing sound suddenly stopped.
I saw that the skeleton was shocked, and the two eye sockets under the forehead shook slightly from side to side, and the eye sockets of the two black holes of the same size suddenly became one big and one small, as if this skeleton was squeezing his eyebrows at Yang Si.
Then Yang Si heard an extremely dull voice coming from the skeleton: "There are ghosts!" ”
This scared Yang Si out of his mind, and said in his heart that this was the evil ghost who was hiding in the pottery urn during the day.
Now it is harming itself by blowing cold air, and it must be revenge for being urinated during the day.
It's a pity that he ran for his life all the way during the day, even if he ran so hard, he couldn't escape after all, and in the end he still let this ghost catch up.
As if echoing what Yang Si was thinking, the skeleton circled around Yang Si again, and then said sullenly again: "Very salty, shameful...... Hell yes! ”
After saying that, the skeleton trembled again, and the eye sockets of the two black holes shrank suddenly, and the eye sockets that were originally quite round suddenly became as narrow as chopsticks, and from a distance, it looked like a human face with oblique triangular eyes and angry eyes!
Seeing that the skeleton monster was angry, Yang Si secretly said that it was not good, and hurriedly raised the only right hand that could move into his arms, and went to take out the clothes knife in his arms that was made of fine iron and used to defend himself in case of emergency.
As soon as the smooth handle of the knife came into his hands, Yang Si finally had some confidence in his heart, and gently untied the clasp on the snakeskin scabbard with his fingers, then took a deep breath, grasped the handle of the knife with his five fingers, and jerked out!
Who knew that Yang Si only found out after this draw that the clothes pressing knife was only two inches long when it was pulled out, and it couldn't be used for a single inch!
This life-saving knife is like being tightly pressed into Yang Si's arms by an invisible person, no matter how hard Yang Si tries, this knife just doesn't move, and he can't pull it out!
Seeing the squinting skeleton on the opposite side drifting closer and closer, the cold sweat the size of a soybean grain on Yang Si's head was like beads with broken threads one after another.
Yang Sixin said that if I let this skeleton monster get close enough to spray a few cold breaths, my little life will definitely be unlucky, and now it depends on whether I am dead or alive.
So Yang Si closed his eyes and gritted his teeth, grabbed the clothes knife tightly, and pulled it out with all his strength.
With the crisp sound of the cloth tearing, Yang Si finally pulled out the clothes pressure knife in his arms.
However, before Yang Si could raise his knife in the direction of the skeleton monster's attack, he felt that his back was suddenly empty!
Yang Si thought that he was lying on a branch more than a foot above the ground, and suddenly secretly screamed in his heart; But before he could shout "terrible", Yang Si had to prick down an upside-down onion from the branch of the big poplar tree under his head and feet.
said that it was too late, and Yang Si, who was falling rapidly, only felt that his back seemed to be violently supported by something in mid-air, and the falling momentum slowed down suddenly.
Before he could come back to his senses, Yang Si felt that he was being pushed to the side, and then he fell heavily to the ground on all fours.
The sharp pain that came back from his back, Yang Si found that he had fallen on a hard mud floor, and then his eyes were dark, and he fainted.
