Chapter 121: The Old Well
The night was dark, and it was about four or five o'clock, and it was not yet dawn.
I held a rusty axe in my hand and took Xiaoyue to look back at the "stilted building" behind me.
Then he quickened his pace and made his way through the jungle as hard as he could.
The reason why I chose to set off in a hurry before dawn was just that I had a faint premonition in my heart, for fear that I would get lost in this old forest after a long night.
"TM, I don't know if this path is going in the right direction."
"But right now, only the blind cat meets the dead mouse, so let's give it a try."
I sighed viciously, trampling on the muddy wet earth beneath my feet, taking advantage of the fact that the sun was just showing a little bit of light overhead.
The heart is categorically sure that this must be the east, up and down, down from the south, left west, right east.
Until the time passed quickly, the dark clouds overhead still showed no sign of abating, but gathered more and more, as if it would rain again at any moment.
I figured out in my heart that it should be noon.
It's just that the sunlight is obscured by the dark clouds, and I can't help but lose my way completely in a moment.
The soil under my feet exuded a unique fragrance after the rain, and I pulled Xiaoyue to shuttle desperately through the forest, and I must go out of the mountains before dark.
Otherwise, if the monster that suddenly appeared and took away the bones of the macaques during the rainstorm yesterday, I may be worried about my life.
After all, God knows what it is, like a monkey and not a monkey, saying it's a roe deer and not a roe deer.
Just looking at the back, it looks like a human shape, but it is covered with black and brown fluff.
The woods in front of me seemed to be endless, and the soil under my feet became difficult to walk with the humid air.
Until the sky darkened a little, and when I looked up at the night sky, the dark clouds gradually dissipated, revealing a very strange crescent moon smile.
The wild forest in front of him finally shuttled to the end, reflecting the dark light, and it seemed to be a plain in the past.
“… Finally escaped alive, phew... ”
I gently closed my eyes and took a deep breath, and when I was still some distance from the exit of the forest in front of me, my heart seemed to have drifted out of the clouds.
It's just that I accidentally found that Xiao Yue's face next to me was very ugly, and it seemed that she had discovered something.
Then he gradually stopped, and just wanted to ask, but found that there was an exit in front of him.
We wandered around day and night, and finally returned to the courtyard of the wooden house.
Judging from the current dilemma, "TM's should have encountered the so-called ghost hitting the wall." ”
"TM's!"
I let out a furious roar, and the iron axe in my hand slashed at the old tree beside me, leaving a dark white mark.
The hideous and angry appearance frightened Xiao Yue beside her, and she looked at me cautiously, holding back the tears that were rolling in her eyes.
I almost didn't cry again, which was really distressing.
"It's been a big walk and it's back to square one!"
I screamed and was a little angry, only to feel that my throat and eyes were sweet, and a mouthful of old blood almost didn't spurt out.
"You... Are you okay. ”
Xiao Yue, who was beside me, secretly turned around and wiped the tears from her face, and then ran over quickly to reach out and grab my wrist, as if she wanted to check my body's pulse.
I already knew what my body would be like, but I was afraid that it would make matters worse at this critical moment, so I pretended to be vicious and shook off her arm.
"You... Woooooooooooo ”
She cried out completely at the moment, tears hanging on her delicate eyelashes, and she looked very helpless.
"I..."
Listening to her aggrieved cry, I knew that I was a little wrong, but if I didn't do this, I, who was about to die, might still be a victim of her.
Instead of doing this, why don't you be a wicked person and cut off the cause and effect of what should be broken before you are about to die.
"You..., are you still blaming me, I knew that this was the case that the old lady would not risk her life to accompany you here..., woo woo..."
"I want to go back to the hospital... I want to go home...".
Her aggrieved cry made me involuntarily compromise, and I just wanted to put away my stiff face and find a chance to admit my mistake to her.
But I never thought that when I looked at the familiar "Hangzi Building" in front of me, I found that an old well appeared in the fence of the simple fence at some point.
I vaguely remember yesterday when I ran into the hut in the face of the torrential rain, there didn't seem to be this well in front of me.
"TM's... Could it be that he was in too much of a hurry and neglected such a detail? ”
Thinking of the past few days, I haven't eaten a drop of water, except for the "fish soup" stewed in the creek when I escaped from the ancient tomb yesterday, and now I and Xiaoyue have been tossing all day.
I didn't dare to eat the wild fruits on the roadside, for fear that they would be unknown poisonous fruits.
The more I thought about the sweet spring water, the more dry my mouth became.
This may be due to a psychological effect, which made me involuntarily take a step forward and stride towards the hanging tower in front of me.
What's more, the sun has set now, and the sky is full of dark clouds, and there is no telling when it will rain heavily, so it looks like I can only spend the night here tonight.
Xiao Yue behind her saw me walk away and followed me every step of the way, but the tears of grievance rushed up two small "river ditches" on her face.
It looks very pitiful.
It wasn't until I walked to the well that I subconsciously rubbed my dirty palms against my clothes.
The old well in front of me seems to be some years old, and it should even be built older than the "Hangzi Tower" in front of you.
The walls of the well, made of irregular stones, reflect the dim light of the setting sun, reflecting a puddle of clear water on the face.
At this moment, the dark clouds above the sky seemed to deliberately open a gap, allowing the sun to burst into bursts of brilliance as it was about to set.
Xiao Yue behind me didn't pay attention to me, but wiped the tears on her face with her hands, and walked quickly towards the wooden door of the hanging building in front of her.
It looks like it's going to pack up and get ready to spend the night here tonight.
It was only when her steps stepped on the suspended wooden ladder that there was a crisp sound of wooden planks breaking.
"Smack..."
I was awakened by this sound and looked at her blankly, but suddenly found that at this moment, there seemed to be a dim candlelight on the blurred glass of the Hangzi Building.
It's as if someone is living inside.
The sun was setting quickly, and the light was getting dimmer.
Xiaoyue was also frightened by this sudden change and screamed, but she didn't choose to ask me for help, and she didn't even look at me.
The slender left leg got stuck in the crack of the staircase of the third section of the wooden staircase, and when it was pulled out, it was accidentally scratched by the iron nail hidden inside.
The atmosphere was surprisingly quiet, and at that moment I wanted to go over and check on her injuries.
But his legs didn't seem to be able to move at all, he just stood directly by the well, looking at the clear well water inside and was stunned.
My consciousness was clear, but my body seemed to be a little disobedient.
This feeling reminds me of the so-called "ghost press", no matter how much I struggle, I can only move my fingers slightly.
There was a faint light flickering on the blurred glass of the stilted building in front of me.
I wondered if the mysterious owner had finally returned, but for a second a red shadow suddenly flickered on the blurred glass in front of me.
It looks like someone is wiping the glass with a red cloth, and it seems that a shawl is scattered at a faint glance.
Her thick black hair is long and flowing, and she can't help but think about it.
I looked at the red shadow in the window and was stunned, but suddenly found that Xiao Yue, who was in front of the door of the Hanging Tower, didn't seem to notice this abnormality.
Instead, she continued to push open the wooden door with a slow pace, ignoring the flickering candlelight on the glass.
"Xiao Yue..."
I called out, but I found that my voice suddenly became very hoarse, and I screamed with all my might, as if I was humming like a mosquito.
Only you can hear it.
The old well at his feet rippled, and a clear spring reflected the old and unfamiliar face like a mirror in the bottom of his heart.
"Xiao Yue!"
This time, I shouted almost as hard as I could, and my face blushed and even the green tendons on my forehead burst out.
Sure enough, the voice came into Xiao Yue's ears, and her hand that was about to push open the door couldn't help but pause slightly.
He turned his head and looked at me blankly, thinking that he had accidentally made some mistake again, waiting to be counted down and scolded.
Simu blushed slightly at her face, but at this moment, what I wanted to tell her was not this, but to tell her to hurry up and stay away from Jiaozilou.
There is something strange in this ancient building.
While thinking about it, he suddenly noticed that a light was shining on his face from the old well under his feet.
I couldn't help but look down at the mouth of the well, there was nothing but the clear spring water, and at this moment my body seemed to gradually regain consciousness.
The night sky was completely darkened, and the red candles flickering from the blurred glass on the left and right sides of the Hangzi Building were particularly eye-catching.
I don't believe that only I can see this scene, but why Xiaoyue didn't notice it, she didn't seem surprised at all.
In an instant, thousands of thoughts flashed through my mind, and Xiao Yue, who stepped on the staircase, saw that I blushed but kept looking at Lao Jing silently, thinking that I was hallucinating.
Then he gently pushed open the door and walked in cautiously.
At the moment, I was staring at the bottom of the well, and the water surface was like a clear mirror, reflecting the strange crescent moon in the sky.
Suddenly.
There seems to be something strange going on in the well, a feeling I can't describe but it's real.
"Hiss...".
Until the next second, I couldn't help but scream when I looked at the bottom of the well, a man in his thirties was actually frightened.
The pupils in the eyes contracted sharply, as if even the heartbeat had instantly accelerated by more than ten times.
"Run... Run! ”
At this moment, there is only one thought in my heart, that is, how far I can run, and the farther away from this old building and this old well, the better.
I was so frightened that I was bloodless, and a huge roar came into the house and couldn't help but disturb Xiao Yue inside.
She looked at me blankly, until the expression on her face became slightly distorted, as if she had seen something crawling out of the old well behind me.
The immature little face was frightened and pale, and almost fainted to the ground.
"Run..., I don't have time to explain."
"Ahhh
Xiao Yue let out a heart-piercing scream, and although I didn't know what she saw from the old well behind me, I guessed it in my heart.
It must have been a scene that could scare people to death, otherwise it wouldn't have scared her like this.
"Run, run, run!"
It wasn't until my body regained consciousness that I desperately ran towards Xiaoyue at a speed of 100 meters.
If I could find a way out through echolocation like a bat, I would definitely choose to run out of the courtyard with my eyes closed.
The whole stilted building is not very large, but I was afraid that when I looked back, I would suddenly see that scene and scare me unconscious.
Then he stared at the weakest part of the fence in the darkness and rushed over, and the improvised fence of the woven courtyard was covered with thorns.
At this moment, I am like an old cow that goes crazy at night, desperately breaking through layers of obstacles, where can I still take care of my scarred body.
