Chapter Forty-Four: The Unlucky Guardian
Wei Yan took a sip of saliva, then wiped the mud on his face, and scolded: "Lao Tzu has been unlucky for eight lifetimes, and he can fall into the swamp when he gets in the car." ”
Xu Ran stretched his neck and looked forward, the white fog was very thick, and he couldn't see the situation below, but based on the speed at which Wei Yan crawled, it should be a low-lying swamp.
"People are okay to burn high incense, you are still unlucky, if you didn't happen to fall on the edge of the quagmire, it is estimated that you would have been eaten by the mud." Xu Ran didn't have a good airway.
"How do you know?" Wei Yan looked at Xu Ran in astonishment.
Xu Ran said lightly: "Guess"
Wei Yan nodded and smiled: "Then can you guess where there will be clear water." ”
Xu Ran pointed to the fog behind him: "It's not far behind you." ”
"Real or fake." Wei Yan looked at Xu Ran suspiciously.
"If you don't believe it, pull it down." Xu Ran said: "I'll go back and find out where the car is parked first." ”
Wei Yan hurriedly took Xu Ran's hand, "I believe, this will always work." ”
Xu Ran looked at Wei Yan suspiciously, holding his hand: "What are you trying to do?" ”
Wei Yan said with a smile: "There are many people who are easy to do, accompany me on a trip." ”
Seeing him like a bear, Xu Ran knew that this guy must be afraid of death. So he glanced at this guy and scolded with a smile: "Cut, manly man, you are so timid, I think you should stay at home in the future, so as not to be scared to death by others." ”
As soon as he talked about his timidity, Wei Yan was not happy, "You dare to underestimate me, you wait and see." ”
After speaking, this guy raised his feet and ran in the direction Xu Ran pointed out.
As soon as the smoke slipped away, it sank into the layers of white mist.
Seeing this guy disappear into the fog, Xu Ran had no choice but to shake his head and smile bitterly, and then followed. After all, jokes are jokes, and no one can guarantee that there will be no emergencies ahead.
After a short walk, we came to a place with a water source. The white mist that remained in the air was much thinner, and a figure could be seen faintly swimming in the river.
At this moment, Wei Yan was taking a bath in the river, naked, his whole body was wet, and half of his body was in the water.
Xu Ran saw that there was nothing unusual about him, so he was much more relieved, and walked over to wash his hands. Inadvertently, I saw something similar to an earthworm swimming in the river, and I saw that there were quite a few of them, and it was estimated that there were at least a hundred or ten.
So Xu Ran grabbed one and put it in his hand, and after seeing this little thing clearly, the expression on his face couldn't help twitching slightly.
Where are the earthworms, they are clearly leeches, but the place where leeches can survive means that the river has not been polluted.
Xu Ran hurriedly shouted to Wei Yan in the river: "Old Wei! Don't wash it, come up quickly. ”
After hearing his shout, Wei Yan turned his head to look at Xu Ran on the shore suspiciously: "What's wrong?" Lao Xu! ”
Xu Ran said impatiently: "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up, there is something in the water." ”
"What's that?" Hearing Xu Ran's words, Wei Yan looked around, suddenly sighed, and pinched the small insect attached to his body in his hand to take a look. "Mom! This is a leech. ”
Wei Yan jumped up, then threw the leech, slapped the water with both hands, and swam to the shore like a fly.
Xu Ran pulled Wei Yan ashore and checked his body, but fortunately there was only a leech attached to his body, and he easily got it down.
Wei Yan's face was obviously not good-looking, probably frightened by the scene just now.
Xu Ran sat next to Wei Yan, and when he saw him like this, he held his breath and wanted to laugh a little.
This guy usually has a crow's mouth, and what he said may work at that time.
It's just that today it happens to be sealed on my body.
"Hey! I said Lao Xu, don't gloat. I'm so unlucky today, I can't stand the blow. Wei Yan looked at Xu Ran aggrievedly.
"Don't talk nonsense, have you rested enough, we have to get out of this road tonight." Xu Ran patted Wei Yan, who was lying on the ground half-dead.
"Alas! I was exhausted just now. Wei Yan stood up from the ground and looked at his soaked body, "I have to change my clothes quickly, my nose is a little itchy, I guess I'm going to catch a cold." ”
Xu Ran nodded.
The two walked back the way they came.
At this time, the fog has disappeared, and the sun is about to set, if they can't find the car again, it is estimated that the two of them will spend the night here tonight.
The two of them were chatting about the strange things that had just happened, and when they were talking about the topic, Xu Ran suddenly stopped, and Wei Yan almost bumped into Xu Ran's body.
"What's wrong?" Wei Yan asked Xu Ran.
"Look for yourself," Xu Ran pointed to the front.
Wei Yan looked forward, just now he was only chatting, and he didn't pay attention to the environment of the scene, and when he saw it, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
There are no roads at all, but small mounds of dirt overgrown with weeds.
I saw a jungle of bushes, a ground covered with dense wildflowers and weeds, each knee-high.
"Am I hallucinating?" Wei Yan wiped his eyes in disbelief.
Xu Ran raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "You read it right, we are indeed in the wild grave. ”
As soon as he heard that it was a grave mound, Wei Yan trembled for no reason.
"This ......," Wei Yan didn't dare to say.
Xu Ran said: "We all had hallucinations before, but now it's the real world. ”
"How so?" Wei Yan looked around with a chattering look, "We obviously parked on the side of the road. ”
"The geography here is special, and there are problems with the white fog."
"What do you mean, Lao Xu, are those white mist poisonous?"
Xu Ran nodded and explained, "It should be miasma,"
Wei Yan looked around blankly, and immediately lost his mind, "Then what should we do now?" ”
"Get out of here first." Xu Ran said, and then pointed in the direction where the sun was going down, "Go west." ”
Wei Yan nodded, and now he could only move forward according to Xu Ran's intentions.
The two walked for more than an hour, and then they saw a public notice in front of them, which said, The road conditions ahead are special, please be careful of the Lishu font of slow walking.
Wei Yan pointed down and said, "Old Xu! Look there's a road down there. ”
Xu Ran nodded, he had already seen it, but he didn't know if the road below was the one they were looking for.
"Let's go down and look for it, and see if we can find our car." After speaking, Xu Ran jumped down.
Seeing this, Wei Yan could only bite the bullet and jump from the three-meter-high earthen wall.
At this moment, the sky has darkened, and in such a large mountain, as long as the sun goes down, it is almost indistinguishable from night.
Xu Ran took out his mobile phone and looked at it, it was only four o'clock now, and the sky was already dark like this, if it was an hour, I was afraid that I wouldn't even be able to see the road clearly.
