Xiangxi Shadow Chapter 56 Reunited after a long absence
Qiu Yan, who had no pupils, held a dagger and chased after me and Long Quan, and her hideous appearance was like a female ghost in a Hollywood horror movie.
I shouted Qiu Yan's name as I ran, but she didn't react at all.
After chasing for a while, Qiu Yan couldn't catch up with us, so she stopped.
Long Quan and I each found a coffin to hide behind, and then squatted down to observe Qiu Yan's every move.
We were less than five meters away from Qiu Yan, and the few times I poked my head out from behind the coffin I met Qiu Yan's white eyes, but she didn't seem to be able to see me at all.
I called Qiu Yan's name twice, but she still didn't respond.
Although Qiu Yan's eyes were terrifying, her face was obviously panicked, she was very scared and dazed, standing in place and holding a dagger and turning back and forth.
I was a little distressed, but I didn't dare to approach her, and when I was at a loss, Long Quan whispered to me:
"Brother He, you bumped into me just now!"
I didn't react for a moment, so I asked:
"What?"
"You bumped into me just now, and I couldn't have seen you, but I can see it after you knock me down!"
I finally understood, Long Quan was right, before I met him, we might have been the same as Qiu Yan now, but after I knocked him down, we both saw each other clearly at the same time, although I don't know the reason for this, but this is also a way.
I nodded at Longquan and said:
"I'll distract her, you go and hit her!"
Long Quan also nodded, then stood up and got ready.
I took the dagger back, first shook the flashlight at Qiu Yan, she still didn't respond, and then I quietly walked over when she turned around, at this time, Qiu Yan seemed to hear my footsteps and turned her head sharply.
I immediately stopped, frozen in place.
Qiu Yan seemed to judge the direction, poking her head left and right while cautiously walking towards me.
I know very well that Qiu Yan is not an ordinary girl, she is a little skilled and flexible, and she is in an extreme panic at the moment, and I may be scratched by her when I look at her at this time.
I wanted to wait for Qiu Yan to slow down for a while and then turn around to get closer to her, but at this time, out of the corner of my eye, I saw that Long Quan had already touched behind her, and the time was ripe, so I didn't wait any longer.
I waved at Long Quan, and then walked straight towards Qiu Yan, who was startled by my footsteps, she took a step back, then raised her dagger and slowly walked towards me.
At this moment, I was only less than two meters away from Qiu Yan, and after seeing that she was attracted by my footsteps, I stopped moving forward, but followed Qiu Yan's speed and retreated.
Qiu Yan is very beautiful, and her slightly powdered face is so tender that she can pinch out the water.
But this face, with a pair of white eyes without pupils at the moment, looks indescribably weird.
I looked at Qiu Yan's face and couldn't help but reach out and shake her eyes, probably too close, Qiu Yan suddenly screamed, and then ran towards me.
But I wasn't worried, because I saw that Long Quan was already behind Qiu Yan.
I waited for Qiu Yan to rush to me, and then grabbed her hand holding the dagger, and then Long Quan rushed over, knocking Qiu Yan and me to the ground at once.
Qiu Yan may have been overly frightened, struggling violently in my arms, and the scream shook my ears for a while.
"Qiu Yan! Qiu Yan! It's me, He Zimu, calm down! I hugged Qiu Yan tightly and shouted loudly in her ear.
Qiu Yan was stunned for a moment, looked up at me, then hugged my neck and cried.
"He Zimu, I thought I would never see you again~~~"
Qiu Yan said slurred while crying, and I still hugged her tightly, letting her rub her tears and snot all over me.
But who knew that after she had cried for a while, she suddenly broke out of my arms, patted my chest and said:
"Where did you go, no one can see it, and there will be no response to shouting at you!"
I only then took a closer look at Qiu Yan's eyes, and now her eyes have recovered, except for the slightly red and swollen eyelids, her face has changed back to her previous beautiful appearance.
I breathed a sigh of relief and smiled:
"You can't blame me, I'm just like you, trapped by the blindfold!"
Afterwards, Long Quan and I told Qiu Yan what happened to us, and after Qiu Yan listened, she wiped her tears and said:
"That's right, I thought you left me and ran away!"
I pretended to be angry and said:
"How is it possible, who do you think of me and Long Quan? Don't say that we are using your money to eliminate disasters for you, it doesn't matter anything, and it is impossible for us two big men to leave you and a woman here! ”
Qiu Yan finally burst into tears and laughed, and said:
"Okay, I've wronged you, I apologize to you, okay! Ay? Why is it just the two of you? What about Grandpa Chen? ”
After Qiu Yan said this, I remembered that there were four of us who came in, and now we have only found three people.
"I guess I also fell into a trick, where are I trapped." I replied nonchalantly.
To be honest, since I have found these two people in front of me, I really don't care much whether Chen Fangyuan is dead or alive, I believe Long Quan thinks the same way, but he still has value for us, and Qiu Yan still trusts him very much, so we still have to find him.
"By the way, Brother He, did you find anything strange just now?" Long Quan asked at this time.
I said in my heart that there is no strange place along the way, the thick fog, the coffin, Qiu Yan's white eyes, etc., do you still need to ask?
"What do you mean?" I asked rhetorically.
"Mr. Qiu, you kept chasing Brother He just now, did you see him?" Long Quan didn't answer me, but asked Qiu Yan.
Qiu Yan shook her head and said:
"No, it was foggy all around, and I couldn't see anything but the coffin.
But suddenly I heard footsteps, very soft, but I could hear them, and when I ran over, I saw a dark shadow, and then you knocked me down! ”
"Did you hear us when we called your name before?"
"Nope!"
After Qiu Yan finished speaking, Long Quan looked at me.
At this moment, I understood, Qiu Yan could hear the footsteps, but she couldn't hear our shouts, the same sound, why could she hear it for a while but not hear it?
Qiu Yan also understood at this time, and said in surprise:
"Yes, I can hear footsteps, why can't I hear you calling me?"
I subconsciously looked at my feet and then at the floor beneath my feet.
As we all know, sound is produced by vibration, shouting is made by the vibration of our vocal cords, and footsteps are made by vibration between the soles of shoes and the floor.
The only difference between the two is the method of reaching Qiu Yan's ears.
Shouts are transmitted through the air, while footsteps can be transmitted through the floor in addition to being airborne.
Thinking of this, I kicked the floor hard, but I didn't expect that this kick, in addition to making a loud noise, there was also a burst of dust around my feet, which was not like ordinary dust, they were shaken up and immediately dispersed, and slowly floated upward, and finally merged with the fog.
The three of us who saw this phenomenon immediately glanced at each other. (This article is serialized in vertical and horizontal, please support the author and support the genuine!) )
Now we all understand that the fog here is actually this dust, and the reason why we are trapped by the blindfold is mostly this dust, and what surprises me even more is that this dust is raised by the vibration of the ground, that is, someone has entered here before us, or someone has triggered some kind of vibration, and then caused the ground here to resonate, and then the dust was shaken.
Either way, it proves that there are other people here besides the four of us!
I told Qiu Yan and Long Quan about my guess, and Qiu Yan nodded, agreeing with my conjecture, but Long Quan frowned.
"Brother He, could this person be Old Man Chen?" Long Quan asked.
I laughed and said:
"Long Quan, I know you have some opinions about Old Man Chen, but we also have to speak with evidence!
You also saw it just now, Old Man Chen caught up from behind us, how could he be ahead of us? ”
Long Quan shook his head and explained:
"Brother He, of course I know what you said, but is there such a possibility, the three entrances outside actually lead to one place, and the old man Chen came in first, and later found that we were following him, so in order to clear the suspicion, he turned back, and then pretended to chase after us!"
After listening to this, I was stunned, what Long Quan said was very reasonable, this place is so big, if each of the three passages leads to such a place, what a big project it should be.
In contrast, the statement that the three passages lead to here is more reasonable, if this is the case, it is really possible that this Chen Fangyuan is really playing tricks on us.
I looked at Long Quan, then at Qiu Yan, and said:
"In this way, let's look for Chen Fangyuan, and then take a look at how big this place is, just now the three of us were blinded, maybe what we saw is fake!"
This time, no one objected to me, and we both understood that there was only so much we could do at the moment.
Just in case, I asked them both to hold my hand and told them not to let go no matter what.
In this way, I took Qiu Yan by the hand, and Qiu Yan led Long Quan again and continued to walk forward.
Who knew that we had walked less than 20 meters, and then we saw that we had reached the end of the front, and at the end was a slightly treated earthen wall, which extended upwards and was slightly arched, and because of the fog, the earthen wall was about four or five meters long and then I couldn't see clearly.
"It's strange, I couldn't see the end of how I walked just now, why did I run out of roads so quickly?" Qiu Yan wondered.
I pulled Qiu Yan and continued to walk along the edge of the earthen wall, explaining as I went:
"Actually, I said that this is a trick, which is a bit inappropriate, I think it is not our eyes that have been deceived just now, but the brain.
I don't know if you've ever heard of the saying that if you walk with your eyes closed, you will eventually come out of a circle and then go back to square one.
So although we thought we were walking in a straight line, we were actually just going around in circles. ”
Qiu Yan nodded, and then stopped talking.
After walking for a while, I suddenly saw a brick wall at the end of the earthen wall, which was not very high, and looked like a huge door sandwiched between the earthen wall.
"Look closely, maybe there's some mechanism." I admonished.
Since there is a brick wall, it means that there is something behind the wall, and I thought to myself, maybe there are two other passages behind it.
Just then, I saw a head poking out of the brick wall in front of me, and it was only a shadow in the mist, and he seemed to glance at us and then shrink back.
I hurriedly pulled Qiu Yan and ran over, but I didn't expect to see that there was a hole in the brick wall.
