Chapter 123: Things in the Soil
The second year of high school obviously heard it, and his two eyes immediately stared at me with the boss in disbelief, his face was already dark and small, and his eyes were so big at this moment, he looked like a big black mouse.
I swallowed my saliva and forced my composure, and whispered, "Do you think that could be a person?" ”
The second year of high school shook his head sluggishly, "So thin a branch, people squatting on it must not fall down and fall to their death?" ”
The monkey was quite far away from us, hiding in the canopy of a tree that looked the size of half a tiny fingernail, but we tentatively concluded that it was a monkey based on its tan color.
To put it mildly, the squatting on the branch is a three-year-old child in a coffee-colored suit, and he probably looks similar.
"Master, what do you say? To go or not to go? ”
I turned my head and scolded him, "You are stupid, you will go if you want to go?" Why are you so well-behaved? ”
"Stay safe" is the first credo of my life, so we completely abandoned the desire to explore, and the two of us continued to move forward in the previous direction like a race walking competition.
I looked back as I walked, and the monkey was still crouching, but in a few moments it was out of my sight.
"Master, have you encountered anything so weird before?"
I thought about it for a moment, but I shook my head, "It's not that weird, it's just a little weird after all." Haven't you ever seen a big fish suddenly open its eyes in the water, it's so scary. ”
As I was talking, the sophomore who had been walking behind me suddenly shouted, "Look at me!" ”。
I turned my head curiously to look, only to see the sophomore's left leg in front and his right leg behind him in a big stride posture, crossed on the ground and motionless, his hands held high, and his eyes glared again.
"Why? If you want to practice yoga, you can go back and practice, you are in a hurry here. "I just feel inexplicable, what does it mean for this person to walk and pose well?
The sophomore shook his head desperately, "It's not... Master, look at my hind legs... It seems to be entangled in something..."
As soon as these words came out, I felt uncomfortable, and my mind was full of the big snake that rolled and twisted in red, red, green, and green...
"Don't lie to me, don't move, I'll take a look..."I took two steps to the side, and found that the leg behind the sophomore seemed to be stuck in the dirt, because I could only see that he was still outside above his foot and neck.
I breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Are you feeling wrong with your feet in the dirt?" ”
"No, no, no! That thing is getting tighter and tighter! ”
The sweat of the sophomore didn't seem like a joke at all, and I didn't dare to slack off, so I picked up a wooden stick and leaned over to pick up the soil where the sophomore's right foot was buried, to see if there was really anything inside.
"Master... That thing is cool..."
My scalp suddenly tightened, according to the description of the two times in the second year of high school, it seems that it is a snake in the soil.
Actually, if it were really snakes, it would be easier to do, at least I know that we are not encountering those strange things, after all, you can't use common sense or experience to infer their actions or thoughts.
Snakes are different, take a long stick and press it to the neck, and the more daring ones will be caught, at least you don't have to worry about a mouth growing on its back.
Fortunately, the wooden stick in my hand was long enough, which could be regarded as giving me courage, so I used the stick to shovel the soil at the feet of the senior sophomore little by little.
After a few strokes, a black-gray thing appeared in the soil, about the thickness of my fingers, and the surface was extremely rough and full of wrinkles, which could not be associated with snakes.
And the thing was indeed clinging to the ankle of the sophomore, and it was estimated that the part that was still buried in the soil should be tightly wrapped around him.
"What's it, master...?" The sophomore's voice was horrified.
I laughed dryly twice in a clumsy acting, trying to make my tone sound calmer, I didn't want to scare him, "It's just that the fingers are so thick and black, I guess it's not a snake, don't be afraid." ”
So I took a deep breath and started digging down, the whole process was like archaeology, I wanted to dig it out as soon as possible to see what it was, and I was afraid that the wooden stick would alarm it and hurt it in the second year of high school.
Luckily, the whole process was relatively peaceful, but as I went deeper and deeper, the whole picture of the thing was emerging in front of my eyes little by little.
It wasn't until my sophomore sophomore foot was completely exposed to the dirt that I was horrified to recognize that it was actually a hand.
It was a rotten hand with wrinkles on the back of my palm, about the size of my hand, but the grip of this hand was amazing, because I saw that my ankles were starting to turn purple in my sophomore year.
"Master..."
The second year of high school still didn't dare to turn back, but now I can't continue to hide it, so I patted him on the shoulder and said as calmly as possible: "It's a hand that grabs you, and it looks like a monkey's hand." I don't know what's going on yet, but don't worry, I'll help you get your feet out. ”
In fact, just when I said the word "monkey", I could feel the shoulders of the sophomore trembling obviously.
I could feel his fear, but the sophomore was also a man, so he reached out and wiped the sweat from his face, and nodded vigorously, "Okay!" I don't move, master, be careful! ”
I carefully took out a firewood knife from the backpack behind the second year of high school, which was prepared for me by the boss, after all, it is not uncommon to have a firewood knife like this in this kind of mountain village.
"Don't move, it doesn't matter if it's a human, a ghost or a monkey, I'll chop it up with a knife, and if you move, I'll easily cut your heels." I said a word, knelt on the ground, held the hatchet in my right hand, and began to make a gesture and aim.
Actually, I couldn't have cut the finger that caught the sophomore's ankle directly, because that would inevitably chop his foot.
I could only cling to his heel and slash back a little, and from what I could see, that should be where the wrist of this hand was.
I held my breath, and the knife fell hard!
"Kaba ——!"
After the crisp sound, a terrible and high-pitched cry suddenly erupted from the earth!
Then a hairless humanoid with rotten flesh sprang up from the dirt! It just pounced and covered my face!
All I felt was a rancid smell coming over my face, and the back of my head was grabbed by this thing!
"Sophomore!" I shouted!
Then I felt the back of my head loosen, and my eyes lit up, and what was lying on my face a second ago flew straight out, far away into the grass, and then there was a screech accompanied by screams, and the thing escaped.
The panting sophomore stood in front of me, still maintaining an extremely chic whip leg movement.
"Master, are you alright..."
Now I don't feel any pain other than the smell on my face.
It's just that I feel like everything in front of me seems to have a layer of fog floating in front of me.
