Chapter 8: Ugly Weirdos
"Huh? ...... What is that? How can there be light over there? ”
Li Yan raised her finger and pointed.
I also saw that point of light, and my heart immediately rejoiced: "I am saved!" There is salvation...... This time we don't have to sleep in the wilderness. That point of light must be someone's light, and there must be someone in front of it. It could also be a fire made by the hunters in the mountains. ”
At this time, I don't have much water on my body.
After working for so long, Li Yan and I still ate a little bit in the morning, and now our stomachs are already gurgling and empty.
I was pleasantly surprised by the sudden appearance of a point of light.
Li Yan took my hand and whispered, "But, Yuyang, why do I feel wrong!" This place is so weird, it's still in the woods, it should be far away from the nearby village, how can there be people? Even if it's an Orion, there's no need to stay here. ”
Li Yan's voice was worried.
At this time, I showed my boyfriend's strength, patted my chest and said, "What are you afraid of, isn't there still me!" You should trust your husband and me. ”
When Li Yan heard me say this, her little hand pinched my waist and said coquettishly: "I hate it, I didn't say I wanted to marry you, and I didn't admit that you were my husband." If you take advantage of me again, be careful that I divorce you. ”
That being said, I could feel Li Yan's hand around my arm, a little tighter.
However, now is not the time for you to do it, so I said, "Let's go, let's go over there." If there is no one, it will be a big deal for us to come back. It's true that this is a forest, but I remember a book I read that some mountain people would build temporary resting places in the mountains and forests in order to pick wild animals. ”
"I think that little light must be the light of a torch. Even if we don't have anyone, we can find a companion, maybe there will be something to eat over there. ”
Li Yan's stomach was very cooperative, and she cooed.
In a hurry, I grabbed Li Yan and hurried over there.
Seriously, we don't know what we would have done without that light.
However, the light looks close, but it is far away.
We walked for more than ten minutes, but we still didn't get there.
Li Yan was so tired that she was panting, and my back was also soaked with sweat.
In addition, the wind outside does not know where it blows from, and it blows cold on the body.
"Take a break!"
Li Yan suggested.
I nodded, "Okay, let's rest for a while." ”
But before we could sit on the ground, there was a rustling sound behind us.
The voice was very weak, but it was unusually clear.
It's like some kind of bug with legs, crawling constantly.
Li Yan said "Mom" and threw herself into my arms: "Yuyang, what should I do?" Something seems to be over there? Do you hear the voice? ”
How could I not hear it, and my face was not much better.
I hurriedly took out the lighter again, and with a "click", the flames came out.
However, the distance that this flame can reach is also limited.
And I glanced at it coldly, as if I saw a black shadow streaking through the bushes.
The dark shadow's eyes were glowing green.
All of a sudden, I thought of animals like wolves or foxes.
Swallowing my saliva, I nervously said to Li Yan, "No, I can't stay here!" We need to hurry to the bright spot. It's safer there than here. ”
Li Yan agreed: "Okay, okay, then let's go quickly." ”
Then, after I picked up a thick branch from the ground, we hurried towards the place where the yellow light was on.
This time, we didn't take a breath and did not breathe, and the speed was faster than before.
The voice behind it seems to speed up a bit, it must be chasing us.
In a few moments, we ran to the light.
The light came from inside the kerosene lamp.
The kerosene lamp hung on a wooden pole stuck in the edge of a dark wooden house.
The door of the hut was open, and a little light was shining through.
A long black shadow could be seen faintly.
"Get in, get in! ...... It's safe to go in. ”
As I spoke, I took Li Yan's hand and rushed into the wooden house. At the time, we didn't think about it that much.
After rushing into the cabin, I hurriedly closed the door of the cabin, leaning my back against the door panel, panting.
When I came to my senses and could see what was going on inside the cabin, I gasped.
There was no one in the wooden house who did not say that there was a black lacquered coffin in the middle.
On top of the coffin stood a burning red candle.
A lot of wax and oil got on the top of the coffin, forming a red color, like the color of blood.
“...... Yuyang, what kind of place is this? Let's get out of here, shall we? ”
Li Yan also saw the coffin, and her hand grabbed my arm tightly, and it hurt my flesh.
My legs were weak by this time.
I don't know what's going on, why is there a coffin in a wooden house deep in the forest?
And weirdly, there are lights on the outside of the cabin.
Who lit the lamp? I don't know.
"Yuyang, you get out of here, we have to get out of here. Something is wrong with this place! It's scary! ”
Li Yan pulled my arm and tried to pull me away from the door.
But my legs were shaking and I couldn't move.
Li Yan choked up a little, and her crying became louder and louder.
She dragged me by the arm and pulled me off the ground.
I was in a state of confusion at that time, and I didn't know what to do at all.
With a "bang", the wooden door was pulled open by Li Yan, she took my hand and ran outside.
But before I could go out, Li Yan stopped.
"What's wrong?"
I asked.
As I walked forward, I noticed a man standing in the doorway.
The man was a middle-aged man, forty or fifty years old. But he is not good-looking, and his face is full of gray pus, which is very scary.
Many pustules bulged out, as if the liquid inside was about to leak out.
His eyes were small, but they shone brightly.
Li Yan was frightened, screamed again, and when she retreated, she crashed into me.
I hurriedly hugged Li Yan's waist, afraid that she would fall. Li Yan was so frightened that she curled up in the corner of the door of the wooden house, and I stood there stupid, staring at the ugly strange man in front of me.
"You... What do you want? ”
I shuddered.
But my voice seemed very weak.
The man snorted coldly, seemed to be very angry, and said unhappily, "What do I want to do?" I want to ask you what you want to do? ,..... It's the middle of the night, how did you get here? Aren't you afraid? ”
I don't know how to answer his words.
I took a look at it, and he had a shadow, that is, it was a person and not a monster.
And in his right hand, he also carried a rabbit.
The rabbit was dead, and blood was dripping from its head. It seems that he just died.
Seeing that I didn't speak, the strange man said coldly: "This is not the place where you should come, you can go." ”
Let's go, but where can we go in this black light?
"Uncle...... No, uncle! Can you send us out? We're lost here. ”
I breathed a sigh of relief and tried to keep myself as calm as I could.
But the man gave me a blank look and said coldly, "I'm sorry, I can't help you." If there's nothing to do, go ahead. ”
Saying that, this middle-aged man also cared about me and Li Yan, and walked directly towards the wooden house.
I didn't want to get too close to this weirdo, so I hurriedly dodged away and stood in front of Li Yan.
The weirdo walked past me.
I could smell a rancid smell of him as if the tomatoes were rotten.
There was also a smell of blood, but it was coming from the rabbit.
The weirdos let us go, where can we go, if we do, we might get lost.
And before, there was nothing outside, and they followed us. How do we go, in case it's a wolf.
If it were a wolf, wouldn't we be caught in a trap if we left here?
After thinking about it, I turned my face sideways and squeezed out a little smile at the weirdo: "Uncle, you...... Why don't you let us stay here for the night? We won't disturb your rest. ”
Li Yan looked at me and saw that I was squeezing her eyes, but she didn't speak, and settled down and stopped crying.
But the weirdo doesn't hum or haw, and doesn't answer.
He pulled out a boning knife from underneath the coffin, threw the rabbit on top of it, and began to skin it.
Seeing this scene, I was even more nervous.
Soon the rabbit, bright red flesh and blood were revealed.
And the boning knife, which is also very sharp, is definitely sharpened from time to time.
Li Yan took my hand and whispered, "Yuyang, let's go, let's go......"
I shook my head lightly and lowered my voice, "Let's stay here for the night, or there will be nowhere to go." It's a little cold outside, and there are wolves or something, so it's definitely not safe to go out. ”
Li Yan bit her lip, thought about it, and finally agreed.
When I saw Li Yan agree, I was bold and said to the strange man: "Uncle, you are doing well, we are all students, and this time we got lost, so we came here." I didn't expect to meet you. We're also fated, aren't we? ...... It's not safe outside, there may be wolves, and if we go out, we might die. ”
I pleaded with a pleading face.
But the weirdo still ignored us and took care of the rabbit on his own.
"Brush, brush!"
The sound of the knife scraping the flesh was not loud, but it made me feel creepy.
Soon, the rabbit's fur was completely removed.
The flesh and blood of a bloody rabbit with meat and fat was presented in front of Li Yan and me.
The strange man wiped the boning knife, rolled it in rags, and stuffed it back under the coffin.
Then, he glanced at me and Li Yan, still ignored us, and walked out of the wooden house.
At the door of the wooden house, the stranger gave birth to a pile of firewood.
I helped him find a lot of wood, all of which were nearby, and I didn't dare to go far.
The strange man kept silent and didn't say a word to me or Li Yan, as if he had become mute.
"Crackling!"
The sound of firewood being burned was faint.
Li Yan and I were standing next to the wooden house, and the strange man had already skewered the rabbits and set them on top of the fire.
"Ziz-la-la!"
The sound of roasting rabbit meat came out, and it didn't take long for the smell of meat to come out.
Li Yan and I smelled it very well, staring at the oily rabbit on the shelf with salivation.
My stomach was getting hungry and growling.
The strange man snorted coldly, glared at us, and suddenly smiled gloomily: "What? ... Are you hungry too? ”
I nodded awkwardly and said, "Uncle, the two of us still ate at noon, and we didn't eat much, so ......"
But the strange man ignored us.
When the rabbit was roasted, I thought the weirdos would give us a little.
But we were wrong.
Instead of giving it to us, he did not eat it himself, but took the roasted rabbit and went into the hut.
Then, in front of our eyes, he stuffed the roasted rabbit whole into the coffin.
