Chapter Eighty-Three: Insect Plague
"Sister, why do you look like you have eaten dung? Brother Zhou Bo is right, it's the rainy season. Song Yingchun said.
I glanced at her.
"No, it's okay, my sister just remembered that in June and July last year, the two of us were still playing at home with my aunt in London, and I remembered the pea puree we ate at that time, and the sandwiches she made, so." Bai Lu said.
"Oh, my aunt's cooking? It was as unpalatable as dung. Yingchun was unceremoniously scared.
How unpalatable is that?
However, Xiao Yingchun's words are coarse but not coarse, this white dew's expression is indeed wrinkled, thinking about the connection between this rainy season and the white devil, it is enough for her to have this kind of embarrassing expression, she is the same as me, she is afraid of unknown things in her heart, but on the surface, we don't say anything, so no one asks anyone.
The rain outside continued to fall, and there seemed to be a thick veil between heaven and earth, and we stayed in this cave, sitting next to the ding, roasting the fire, and letting ourselves try to get rid of the dampness, and everyone was silent, for the same thing, but they didn't dare to mention it.
This layer of paper can't be pierced, just like in the last moments of summer vacation, no one wants to mention that they are going to school soon, it's the same reason.
"What's wrong with you guys? One by one, the eyebrows are drooping, isn't it raining, and it can not be done every day, look at you like that, as if something big has happened, it's really funny. Song Yingchun said, and looked at me after speaking.
I thought I would scold her or reprimand her like I usually do, but I didn't have that idleness and didn't talk to her.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Suddenly, there was a strange knock on the door in the cave, the sound came from the inside to the outside, as if someone was behind the thick wall of the stone room, and then on the part of the forbidden area that we now default to, knocking on the door, knocking on the door continuously, making my forehead break out in a cold sweat, and turning my head to look at Song Bailu, her face turned pale with fright, she knew who was coming?
"This door is open, isn't it the spiral wooden ladder in the cave? Anyone else? But everyone is here. Song Yingchun was also surprised and asked.
"The door opened, and there was an endless abyss inside." I said.
Knock knock.
There was a quick knock on the door, not only hard, but also very urgently, as if some owner who had dropped the key, anxiously entering the door outside, but several of us were there, and the door was at the end of the wall, as long as it was pulled instead of pushed, you could come in directly, so why knock? Therefore, it is not a human being who comes.
Ghosts are not either, ghosts are changed by people, and they will not be so stupid.
So, what came out of the place was the species with white butterfly wings recorded in the scroll, the thing called the white demon, but so far, I don't know what it is.
The knock on the door had been ringing for a long time, and we just listened, not daring to move, and holding on to a certain fluke mentality, hoping that it would be over.
Sure enough, the sound stopped for a moment, and our tense hearts relaxed a little, but then immediately there was a violent roaring sound, as if countless feet were stepping on the mountain upside down, boom! Thundered!
The whole mountain was swayed and shook by the sudden force, and we were unsteady on our feet, and the girls fell one after another, and I fell down after a long time, and my back was numb.
During the rainy season, there is a lot of turmoil in the mountains, and there are demons with white butterfly wings in the caves.
What comes to my mind now is the sentence that Yun Wen read to me a month ago, the cave is turbulent, isn't it like this now?
"Song Bailu, can you say it now? What is that demon with white butterfly wings, what is it, this kind of power that shakes the mountain, but it will break through the door at any time, rush out to deal with us, know what it is, so that it can be beneficial for us to deal with it, don't tell me what is a demon or something, I don't believe in those evil sects. I shouted.
Thundered!
Gala Qua La!
The sound outside became more and more frequent, and the door obviously couldn't support it, and the last bit of luck should be broken, and there should be no escape.
"There is a lot of turmoil in the mountains during the rainy season, there are demons with white butterfly wings and turmoil in the cave, this thing is full of up and down, the tentacles are as long as an adult's arm, and there is the shape of a red pupil on the butterfly wings, which can scatter fine powder, if there is a middle, the whole body will surely fester, and die of incurable death, the temperament is fierce, good at devouring people, and it is a good place to gather light." Bai Lu shouted.
There are butterfly wings, antennae, five pairs of gastropods, can scatter powder, good spotlight?
"I see, in that abyss are moths, and all the characteristics are basically the same! In addition, they appear during the rainy season and erupt in large numbers when the surface is moist, and this characteristic habit is very similar to a certain pest in our countryside, called the ground tiger, and the adult form of the ground tiger is the moth. I hurriedly said.
As soon as we finished speaking, we heard a bang, and suddenly a huge fleshy worm head came out of the cave wall, turning the earth and coming at us!
"Wow!! What the hell is this grandfather's! Song Yingchun screamed and shouted.
Not to mention the girls, even when I saw such a big meat worm, I felt disgusted and scared, and I hurriedly led them back away from the big worm, but at this time, there were a few more pops, and several worms came out behind me, some on the wall of the cave, some on the roof of the cave, some jumping out of the ground, and all of a sudden crawling out of this disgusting thing.
I said why every time I hear that creaking sound, I always feel hairy in my heart, it turns out that this cave is not a place for people to live, and even bats are not willing to stay longer, the reason is that this girl is a wormhole, which is specially raised for these insects to go through the egg stage and even the larval stage, and then drill out to harm the common people.
Now that I understand, I can't ignore the advice of the ancients, who have already warned in their writings, but I don't take it seriously, which led to today's disaster, and now I fully understand why the cave was blocked by a pile of rocks, that is, to prevent these huge worms from escaping out of this cave!
These larvae are just big flesh worms, but those adults, those moths have strong phototaxis, if they fly out, they can travel thousands of miles away, and if they mate in other places to reproduce offspring, it is not only crops, but all plants are not enough for their scourge.
"What to do? Zhou Bo, we are surrounded, they don't look like ordinary worms, they look like they can eat people. Song Bailu hurriedly asked.
"Pick up the torch, they are afraid of fire during the larval period, each person takes one in front of them, back to back, each responsible for one direction, fast!" I shouted.
The obedient girls each picked up a torch, and everyone put their backs to their backs and waved the torches in front of each other, and sure enough, the temperature could drive them away a little and make them fearful.
Under the firelight, I also saw their appearance clearly, the body surface was rough, the body was covered with countless particles, it was black and brown, and there were four hairy pieces on the back, it was definitely a subspecies of some kind of ground tiger also called the earth silkworm, but I don't know what to eat to grow so big, just one I see must be three or four meters long, more than fifty centimeters high.
When they moved, they creaked, just like I had heard in the mountain wall before.
"It's disgusting! Brother Zhou Bo, I don't want to stay here anymore, please take me out, I'd rather get wet in the rain than see these things again. Yingchun shouted anxiously.
I was so distraught that I couldn't think of a way to get out for a while, and I saw more and more big meat insects coming out of the left and right around me, all of which had blocked the light outside, making the oxygen thin, and my nose was full of the smell of dirt and choking on the insects.
"Cover your nose, they will emit poisonous gas, and if you smell it for a long time, you will be poisoned! In addition, Zhou Bo, once they block all the gaps, the oxygen will be thin, and the fire will be extinguished, so we will definitely die. Song Bailu shouted.
Wave after wave of unevenness, the door rattled, it was already about to break, not only that, but the thick wall that was blocked was also about to collapse, and those white demons were about to come out!
