There are a few simple bamboo products and wooden beds displayed in the wooden house, which is only a few tens of square meters, and the impression at first glance is simple and elegant.

Xiao Yue and I gathered around the cauldron in the center of the roof beam, feeling the chill behind us and couldn't help but find some firewood to make a fire.

Through the blurred glass, I looked out the window at the size of soybean-sized raindrops crackling and dripping across the eaves.

In fact, the process of making glass has been spread and promoted since the Song Dynasty in China, and such materials are very vague because of their low purity.

I watched Xiao Yue beside me stare at the cauldron from time to time, and my delicate face was also covered with cold sweat.

Now it was cloudy and thunderstormy outside the wooden house, and the two people who were physically and mentally exhausted were really unable to find the so-called way out.

The mountains of Xiangxi are complex and diverse, not to mention that when I got off the bus, I accidentally lost the mechanical watch that I had kept for many years.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have been so messy until now.

Looking at Xiao Yue's frowning expression for a while, I guessed in my heart that she must be a little afraid of the macaque head in the pot, and then walked over slowly.

He took the monkey skeleton at the bottom of the pot that resembled a human skull in his hand and skimmed it out of the door.

At this moment, the torrential rain is intertwined, and the rumbling thunder resounded in the dark clouds.

Just as I was about to close the door, I accidentally saw a dark brown arm poking out of my field of vision.

Its back to me was covered in black fur, and its rickety body looked like a combination of some wild animal and roe deer.

He directly grabbed the macaque skeleton that was thrown in the muddy courtyard.

I broke out in a cold sweat and kicked the door open.

But it was running so fast, almost staggeringly.

It only took two or three seconds to disappear into the muddy jungle without a trace.

Xiao Yue was taken aback by my actions and looked at me pitifully, her eyes full of horror and exhaustion.

I breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that there were hundreds of species of wild animals in the mountains, and perhaps it was the macaques whose companions had picked up the bones of their own people.

This possibility is not impossible, in nature except for humans, only the monkey genus is the most human, and each monkey group will have its own group.

If the Monkey King is old and weak, he will be expelled from the group by other monkeys in an instant, waiting to be eaten by other beasts and die.

And the monkey group will also take advantage of the situation to screen out a new monkey king, leading the whole group to find food and plunder the territory, this is the silent law of nature, I naturally know this best.

It's just that I really can't figure out why the owner of this room would put the macaques in a pot to cook them into a "black paste", and there are faint bursts of medicinal fragrance.

It seems that there should be a lot of precious auxiliary herbs in it.

"TM's..., is this for eating, I haven't heard of anyone who likes to eat monkey meat."

I felt a chill in my heart, but then I thought that I hadn't heard of it, but that didn't mean that no one would like to eat it, and I should still wait for the rain to stop and quickly escape from the mountains.

Turning to look in the direction he came, the scene of the giant snake and the centipede fighting is still vivid.

"Boom..."

Outside the window, thunder was loud, and the torrential rain seemed to become more rampant.

I turned around and walked towards Xiao Yue, patted her thin shoulder, she has not been in a very good state since she entered the deep mountains.

is a girl who loves to laugh very much, and after going through the ordeal that shouldn't belong to her, no one can go on again.

I suddenly felt that I owed her something, and I tried to make her happy.

It's just that when I just wanted to make a grimace to scare her, I accidentally found a narrow secret door behind me reflecting the reflective scenery outside the window in front of me.

It is hidden in the cracks of the wooden walls, and it is absolutely difficult to spot unless you look closely.

"Sure enough, it's greasy..."

I snorted coldly, knowing that I finally saw the flaw, although the corner of the room was covered with dust, I could still deduce from the charcoal fire at the bottom of the pot that there should still be people living here for a while.

The iron wooden axe standing in the corner of the wall was in my hand, and now it was the only thing that could not be separated from me.

It was in a hurry, and I forgot to bring a guy along the way, and now I have this rusty axe in my hand.

I couldn't help but feel a little more confident.

I made a "shhh

It wasn't until I got closer to the secret wooden door that I seemed to hear some strange sounds through the cracks.

"Plop plop..."

It's like the sound of a heartbeat has been amplified several times in an instant, and it is clearly in my ears at this moment.

I didn't dare to guess what was hidden behind the door, so I could only walk cautiously to the wall.

I squinted my eyes and looked through the dark gap in front of me, but I couldn't see anything.

"Boom..."

The gloomy weather suddenly thundered, and a trace of white light suddenly lit up in the already muddy courtyard, which frightened Xiao Yue's face.

A blast of thunder rang out, and it fell directly to the ground, splashing huge thunder.

Like a fireball dyed with a light source, it crackled and rattled, and the last bit was drowned in the torrential rain.

The wet soil around him instantly turned scorched, and even the grass nearby turned yellow in an instant, but I don't know if it was due to the effect of the thunder just now.

This was so sudden that I didn't have time to take precautions, and I slammed the weight of my whole body into the secret door hidden under the wooden wall.

I hurriedly calmed down and looked around, I couldn't see anything in the dark light, but the sound of my heartbeat in my ears instantly expanded several times.

"TM, it's not good."

"No matter what kind of immortal you are today, Lao Tzu has to see your true face!"

I gave myself a little more confidence with a loud cry, picked up my axe and swung it wildly in the dark.

Until a familiar scream pierced my ears, I held the axe high and didn't fall for a long time, looking at Xiao Yue in front of me with his hands and head full of tears.

He almost slashed at her.

"You... What are you doing in here? ”

I was a little dazed, but when I heard the loud thunder outside the window again, I instantly understood that this girl must have thought that I was in danger inside.

In addition, I was very scared of the thunderstorm outside, and I never thought that I would meet me as soon as I entered the secret door, and I almost didn't chop her alive.

"TM, there must be something weird here... It's just that I can't tell what the blame is. ”

I drew a piece of wood from the burning fire and used it as a torch, and the roaring light of the fire illuminated everything in the secret door.

It turned out to be a very narrow and hidden toilet, and the faint sound of the heartbeat just now was the sound of the water dripping overhead on the wooden board.

In the upper right corner of the wall of the small bathroom, there is also a taxidermy of an animal.

It looked like a horse's head with a red mane, but its eyes kept staring upwards in a very strange way.

It was as if I was staring at the ceiling like a human being, and the more I looked at it, the more terrified I felt, I really didn't know that there could be such a strange horse in the world.

Xiao Yue, who was beside her, was also frightened by the scene in front of her, and recalled the "macaque head" she had just seen, and her face turned pale and she almost tripped on the ground.

I patted her on the shoulder soothingly, and walked out the door.

At present, the situation here is still clearer, the whole wooden house is only a few dozen square meters, but it is very empty.

The only thing left was a wooden bed in the corner and a cauldron hanging from the center of the room, which was almost worthless.

Outside the window, the thunder faded but still drizzled, and the air smelled damp and dark.

I couldn't help but light torches around the room and feel the rest of the time pass little by little.

It wasn't until late at night that the torrential rain completely stopped, and Xiao Yue, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, couldn't sleep at all.

The experience of the past few days is vividly vivid, washing through my heart like a torrential rain, and I know that this is an illusion.

"It's the surface."

"It must be a trap, and the truth must be hidden behind."

But no matter how you dig it, it's only the two of us who are faintly revealed.

"TM's... Could it really be that I am confused, and all this that is happening in front of me is a coincidence. ”

I couldn't help but sigh for fear that the thunder outside the window would sound again, and then even if I was tired, I would definitely lose sleep.

Facing the night, the nerves that had been tense for many days were completely asleep, and this sleep seemed to be very long.

It's just that when I woke up again, it was still dark.

The torch in the corner of the room had already been quietly extinguished, but the faint sound of water droplets in the ears was still like an amplified heartbeat.

It kept bothering me.

"Shhhhh

I was already a little insomnia, and it became more difficult to sleep with such harassment, but I vaguely watched Xiao Yue on the bed shuttling through the darkness in a daze, and walked towards the secret door little by little.

Until darkness engulfed her, and there was silence all around.

I didn't care, it looked like she was supposed to go to the bathroom.

"Ahh

Suddenly, a loud scream pierced the night sky and pierced my eardrums like a sharp thorn, sweeping away the tiredness of my body.

"Xiaoyue."

My eyes widened, and I almost burst into muscles, so I picked up the rusty iron axe that had been placed next to my pillow and ran over.

The distance of these few steps was barely a second, and when he broke into the secret door, he saw that the petite Xiaoyue was hiding in the corner of the toilet and shivering at the moment.

There was silence all around, nothing around.

"It's okay... Shrewd. ”

I threw away the iron axe in my hand and pulled her into my arms.

Feeling the sound of her heartbeat that had already accelerated and stopped, she just wanted to whisper a few words of comfort.

But she suddenly realized why she was screaming just now.

It turns out that the specimen of the horse's head used for decoration in the upper right corner of the head seems to be faintly shaking because it is not fixed.

As a result, the two eyeballs that were originally staring upwards slipped directly down, staring at the two of us very strangely in the dim light.

I saw this scene and felt an indescribable smell in my heart, but it was indeed a bit too scary for a girl.

Stepping on the wooden bench, he carefully placed the horse's head specimen on the wall, and the two black eyeballs in his eye sockets involuntarily shook up and down.

I couldn't help but sneer when I saw this scene, and sure enough, it was not what I expected.

The horse's face had black unknown beads in its sockets, which were used instead of eyeballs.

After all, it is most difficult for the eyes to be intact when used as a specimen, and even injecting preservatives such as gel into it will affect its gloss.

After a long time, it will become two large holes, which will affect the appearance very much.
