Chapter 36: The Shoes Are Fine

"This is charcoal ......" Ji Xiu stroked a black strip, his palm was stained with black charcoal powder, the black strip did not look like a tree, the whole was cylindrical, the top was a curved cone, and the pestle was on the sand, with a height of more than ten meters.

"Could this be a burned forest?" Lao Qin was also observing the charcoal, making his own hypothesis.

"It doesn't look like a tree, it's like it's artificially burned into charcoal, and then someone has stuck it here. Ji Xiu said.

"Then pull one out and see. Lao Qin proposed.

"Well, yes, I have that idea too. Ji Xiu held the charcoal cylinder with both hands, the thickness of the cylinder was about the same as the waist of a dancer, Ji Xiu secretly exerted his strength, carefully exerting force, so as not to break the charcoal. As Ji Xiu lifted up, the charcoal strips made a crisp sound of "Ge Ji Ge Ji", and several layers of charcoal powder peeled off from Ji Xiu's palm.

"No, the charcoal is too brittle, you have to dig up the sand. After Ji Xiu finished speaking, he squatted down to cut the sand, and Lao Qin was also helping, digging a sand pit at the bottom of the charcoal strips. Igu was still filming the two of them digging a sand pit at first, but later there was a barrage saying that it was boring to watch digging a pit, and suggested that Igu go around.

Igu listened to the advice of the netizen barrage, and walked forward with the camera, the space here is very large, no smaller than the previous space with a drop of 500 meters, looking up is a darkness, and you can vaguely see the curved tips of many charcoal strips, the sand will glow, without the help of lighting tools, countless charcoal columns are inserted all around.

Igu walked for a distance, exactly the same scenery, and after walking for a while, the scenery in the lens did not change, and after walking for a while, the scenery was still monotonous, which made people interested. Igu turned around, so familiar scenery, looked left and right, the scenery around was the same, Ji Xiu was gone, Lao Qin was nowhere to be found, did he inadvertently walk a few distances and then get separated.

"Where are you?"

Igu hurriedly looked for his footprints, it was all sand, and there should be footprints, and there was no trace of the sand all over the ground after turning around. The bad premonition is getting stronger and stronger, turn on the replay function of the camera, see if you can find the way you came, and it turns out that the video can't help at all, and the scene in the lens is the same, like a few frames of the picture is repeated.

"Old man Qin, where are you?"

On a whim, Igu can knock down the charcoal cylinder and make a road sign, so that he is not afraid of getting lost. When I thought of it, I pressed the charcoal cylinder with both palms and shook it vigorously, the charcoal cylinder was very loose, and the charcoal cylinder was inferred with a "click". The cylinder fell to the sand, and black charcoal powder was scattered all over the ground.

Igu clapped his hands, satisfied with his masterpiece, and continued to push another charcoal cylinder, and successfully knocked down another one, and when Igu turned around, he was stunned to find that the charcoal cylinder that had been knocked down before had stood up again, and the ground was clean sand, not even a little charcoal powder.

What's going on? Charcoal will get up on its own? Impossible. Could it be that Lao Qin is playing tricks on himself, it is impossible, Lao Qin does not have this ability to restore the broken charcoal.

Igu held up the camera and said into the microphone, "Did any of you see what just happened?"

At this time, netizens responded with a barrage:

"You just looked at the sand and saw nothing but sand"

"You do it again, this time with the camera behind you"

"That's right, hide the camera behind you, this time it's a person or a ghost, I'll help you find out"

Igu felt that the netizens' proposal was good and could be implemented, so he pretended to be calm, hid the camera under his armpit as if nothing had happened, and then went to push the charcoal cylinder in front of him down. After Igu knocked down the charcoal circle, he took out the camera and took a look, and found that something had happened, and the screen was densely packed with barrages, and what was written in the barrage was almost unclear.

There is one word that appears several times in the many barrages, and that is the word 'ghost'. Igu hurriedly turned around, and the charcoal cylinder that had been pushed to the ground stood back strangely, and the ground was still clean sand, not even a grain of charcoal powder.

Igu didn't dare to move, and his fingers quickly pressed the button of the camera, recalling the video he had taken before to watch. In the shot, it is a familiar scene, the white sand is covered with black cylindrical charcoal, and the dense charcoal looks like a birch forest at night.

In the lower right corner of the lens, there is a charcoal cylinder upside down, and suddenly a white mist floats in the crack of the charcoal, floating in the air, and a human face appears in the white mist. The camera is very high, the white mist of the human face is very clear, the corners of the eyes are high, the corners of the mouth on both sides are drawn in a long arc, and the terrifying fangs are criss-crossed.

The charcoal cylinder, which Igu had pushed down, really rolled over and stood up on its own, jumping back to its original position one by one, and then jumping to the point where it broke and reconnected.

Igu put down the camera, beads of sweat on its forehead, and it slowly turned around, the third toppled charcoal cylinder quietly returning to its original shape before it knew it.

Igu's whole body was a little stiff, he didn't dare to move too much, and he didn't dare to roll his eyes around, for fear that if he suddenly turned his head, he would see a grimace hanging upside down in front of him. Igu didn't have any idea now, he glanced at the screen of the camera out of the corner of his eye, and wanted netizens to give some advice:

"Run, stand here and die"

"It may be a ghost, it will suck the essence of the yang, I heard that some ghosts can suck people to the skin and bones, and even the eyeballs are missing"

"The gods and Buddhas are blessed, and there are gods in the three feet above their heads"

"Hime-so-sama, where are you!" Igu closed his eyes and ran around screaming, babbling and howling wolves.

"Oops!" Igu bumped into something, fell to the ground, opened his eyes, and saw a familiar face, it was Ji Xiu, Ji Xiu was in front of him, and felt a sense of peace of mind, Igu said: "Ji Xiu ......" The word didn't come out, and Ji Xiu's head was pasted up.

Ji Xiu tore off his head with his hand, separated his head from his body, grabbed the neck part of his head with his right hand, and Ji Xiu's face hanging upside down was pasted like this, only a piece of paper thickness away from Igu.

"Hehehehe-hehe-" Ji Xiu's face was distorted, and the corners of her eyes and mouth drooped together, like the wax flowing down from a melted candle, and then Igu's eyes went dark, and it fainted.

"Did you see what it was?"

"I don't know what it was, but the charcoal pillar ran away like it had four legs. ”

"It's running so fast, it's gone, I'm going to speed up, Lao Qin, you can't keep up, just wait for me here." Ji Xiu and Lao Qin quickly rushed in the sandy charcoal forest, which is the human hair forest named after Ji Xiu. Ji Xiu's speed of running is getting faster and faster, running on the sand is the same as running on the concrete floor, slowly throwing away Lao Qin.

Lao Qin didn't want to be separated from Ji Xiu in his heart, but once Ji Xiu ran away, the wind was as fast, no matter how Lao Qin drove his legs in his heart, his leg strength was still limited, so he watched Ji Xiu disappear in front of him. After Ji Xiu disappeared, Lao Qin stopped, gasped for breath, and let himself adjust his breath first.

At this time, Lao Qin heard Igu's howl, he could only distinguish that it was Igu's voice, but he couldn't understand what Igu was calling, the ghost was crying wolf, maybe Igu was talking about his home planet.

Lao Qin guessed blindly, he still understood when he was in danger, the gun in his hand was loaded, and Igu shouted several times, which was enough for Lao Qin to distinguish the direction of the source of the sound. Hiding left and right in the charcoal cylinder, Lao Qin was too nervous and the posture of holding the gun was incorrect, the muzzle of the gun was almost stuck into his nostrils, and if he misfired, he might collapse his head.

Lao Qin walked a distance, but still didn't see Igu, plus Igu stopped shouting now, and there was no direction indication, Lao Qin shouted: "Monkey, you are still alive, just call me." Lao Qin's voice spread around, but the surroundings were quiet and there was no response.

Lao Qin loosened his fingers, lest he be so nervous that his fingers were so stiff that he couldn't pull the machine down, holding the gun in both hands, the muzzle was pointed forward, but there was no target in front of him, and he didn't know where to point it, but he didn't dare to put the muzzle down.

"Monkey, are you dead, if you don't make a sound, you will die, but I'm leaving. There was still no response, Lao Qin just said that he was leaving, in a place of danger, he would not be saved when he saw death, he would leave his companions, and it seemed that he had a good relationship with Ji Xiu, and if he dared to leave his peers, he might be discarded by others.

Lao Qin relied on his hazy memory, and the previous voice probably came from the left front direction, so he looked for it in that direction. After walking a distance, Lao Qin showed a difficult look, put the pistol back into his belt, sat on the sand, took off his shoes and tossed upside down, it turned out that the sand had entered the shoes, and it was uncomfortable to rest on his feet.

Lao Qin threw away his shoes, quickly took out his pistol, and turned around suddenly, his back was unremarkable, and he scolded himself for being too nervous in his heart, and just now he suddenly felt that there seemed to be eyes looking at him from behind. Looking at it twice, it should be a wrong intuition, don't put the pistol back to his waist, Lao Qin was dumbfounded.

"My God, where are the shoes, they're gone...... Lao Qin took out his pistol again, stood up suddenly, his hands trembled a little, and scolded secretly: "What the hell can't I do." ”

Although Lao Qin looked old, his eyes were very good, and behind a charcoal cylinder, he saw a shoelace exposed from his shoe.

Why did my shoes run over there silently, did Igu hear that I was going to abandon it and deliberately play tricks on me, there is no reason, that monkey spirit does not have this kind of elusive strength, that is, ninety percent is an enemy.

As soon as Lao Qin thought of this, he pulled the trigger of the pistol and sprayed indiscriminately, all the bullets were submerged in the sand, and none of the bullets hit the charcoal cylinder.

The gunfire stopped, and the hiking shoes hiding behind the charcoal cylinder ran out, and Lao Qin just watched his shoes grow four legs and run in front of him.

"Oh my mother, the new hiking shoes I just bought are like this!"
