Chapter 21: The Man with the Knife
When my brother's mood stabilized, he frowned and lowered his head for a while, and suddenly said, "Let's go into the forest now and go to Liu Kuaikou." ”
I didn't discuss this with me, and after speaking, I walked forward with my bag on my back, and I could only take the fat boy with me.
This forest on the top of the mountain is very large, I don't know if it starts to grow from the mountainside, or from the foot of the mountain, all in all, from the top to look down, the green oil spreads away, straight to the foot of the mountain, lush, all over the mountain, there are several streams interspersed between the mountains and forests, stand on the top of the mountain to see clearly, the scenery is beautiful and charming, if it is not for the recent encounter with many strange things, really stay and enjoy it.
While observing the surroundings, I thought to myself that Liu Kuaikou ran into the mountains and forests, just to avoid us, so that he would not run to the foot of the mountain, or leave this place, he did not dare to come out now, and there were still injuries on his body, so he should still be hiding in the mountains, as long as he was careful, it would not be difficult to find him.
When I entered the forest, it was suddenly dark in front of me, don't look at the day now, the lush branches and leaves almost blocked the sunlight outside, and it was pitch black inside, only a few beams of light and shadow swayed between the leaves, illuminating the surroundings from time to time.
Following the direction that Liu Kuaikou ran into, we walked forward, because the road in the forest where it had rained before, it was not easy to walk, there was mud everywhere, and it was easy to fall if we didn't pay attention to our feet, so the walk became very slow.
The fat boy didn't want to touch the mud with the soles of his feet, so he jumped on my shoulder, and walked forward for a while, about ten minutes or so, my brother suddenly stopped and said, "There are footprints here!" ”
When I looked over, I saw a row of shoe footprints on the ground in front of me, but due to the heavy rain, many of the footprints had become blurry, and some of them were even unrecognizable.
"Could this be Liu Kuai's?" I looked at the footprints on the ground and wondered: "Look at this trace, why does it feel like the foot is very light, I haven't made much effort, Liu Kuaikou is running in such a hurry at night, how can the footprints be so shallow?" ”
I really have some doubts in my heart, it's only been a few hours since he escaped, Liu Kuaikou fled in such a hurry, the footprints are not so shallow, right?
"Who else but him? From last night to now, he is the only one who has entered the forest, and this footprint must be his! My brother said, he didn't think much about it, and just followed the footprints and chased after him.
I told him to slow down, lest something happen, and hurriedly followed, the fat boy was afraid of falling down, so he grabbed my clothes and didn't dare to let go, so he ran all the way to chase after him, and the more he got to the depths of the forest, the footprints on the ground began to become clearer, giving people the feeling that he was about to find someone.
But suddenly, chasing and chasing, the footprints are gone!
My brother hastily stopped and stood at the place where the footprints were broken, looking at the footprints on the ground, why did they suddenly disappear halfway from the direction we had chased and spread into the depths of the forest?
In a hurry, he bent down to look for footprints, but after looking for nothing for a long time, he finally scolded angrily: "Damn! Can this Liu Kuaikou still fly? ”
As soon as he said this, something suddenly came to my mind, and I couldn't help but shudder, didn't Liu Kuaikou fly around the house last night?
Just as I was about to tell my brother, suddenly a terrible scream came from the depths of the forest, and the scream reached my ears like a ghost crying wolf.
Although I couldn't grasp the direction, I could really hear who this person was, my brother and I changed our faces when we heard the sound, and at the same time we glared at each other and exclaimed: "Liu Kuaikou!" ”
I hurriedly put the fat boy down, let it find the source of the sound, the cat's hearing and identification are much stronger than the human ear, we can't hear where the sound came from, but as soon as the fat boy landed, when he listened to the sound again, his ears moved lightly, his eyes lit up, and he immediately had a goal, and shouted: "Come with the master!" ”
Then I chased it directly, my brother and I hurriedly followed behind, wading through the dirt and running forward for a while, rounding a few slopes, and the fat boy stopped in a few minutes, looking at the front with bright eyes, this will not need to be said, we can also hear it, the sound is coming from the front!
I looked up, and behold, in front of the forest, under the rocks, there was a cave as high as a man, and the sound came from there.
"No wonder I can't find it, it turns out that I'm hiding here." My brother snorted coldly: "Enter the cave, I see how you still run!" ”
After he finished speaking, he began to walk forward, this cave looked inside from the outside, it was pitch black, directly connected to the mountain, the cave wall was extremely wet, but he didn't know how deep and long, it looked eerie, accompanied by screams from time to time, giving people a terrifying feeling.
When the fat boy saw this creepy appearance, he retreated, and while turning back, he said timidly: "You guys go in... I won't go... Stay outside and let you out..."
"What's the wind, no one comes to this hellish place!" I picked it up and followed my brother to the cave, as soon as I entered, there was a scream from the cave, and the heart-rending cry resounded throughout the cave, and the scalp of the people who walked in it was numb, and goosebumps fell to the ground, and the fat boy's body was shaking with fright.
I really can't understand what the hell is going on, for a person to scream in pain like this?
The cave is long and narrow, only one person can pass through the front and back, and the walls on both sides are full of cold water droplets and slippery moss, and the whole place is extremely humid and cold, and the sound of crackling water is constantly making when walking on the ground.
My brother was in front, I was behind, and by the light outside the cave behind me, I walked forward for a few minutes or so, and the whole cave passage suddenly opened up, as if I had reached the end of the cave, forming a huge round arch in all directions, like a sphere, and in the middle of the cave was a huge stone.
Before I could go over to take a look, my brother suddenly stopped me, pulled me back, and hurriedly made a "shhhh
I was pressed against the wall by him covering his mouth, seeing that his face was extremely nervous and serious, not like a joke at all, I couldn't help but get nervous, my nerves were tense, I nodded again and again, I didn't dare to breathe, and I wondered in my heart, what was going on?
He let go of his hand and pointed me ahead, and I looked in the direction, and suddenly my heart trembled, and by the light from the broken hole in the top of the cave, I saw a man kneeling on the stone in the middle of the cave!
I was stunned when I saw him, because this person was none other than Liu Kuaikou!
His head was covered in blood, his whole body was dirty, his feet were bare, his shoes were gone, his clothes were in tatters, and he looked completely ruined.
But what makes people feel strange is not how unsightly his appearance is, but his behavior is indescribably weird.
Liu Kuaikou knelt on the ground, but he kept staring inexplicably at the dark place in the corner of the cave, as if there was something there, and suddenly began to beg for mercy with his head, the whole person looked extremely frightened, and his voice sounded almost collapse: "Please!" Don't kill me! I'm forced too! I don't know what's going on! There must be some way to get it back! There must be, can you give me a few days, I must find a way to solve this matter! ”
When I heard this, I stood there and was completely confused: to whom did he speak?
Raising his eyes to look at the dark corner, he couldn't see anything, what was going on with Liu Kuaikou? Isn't it crazy?
My brother hid on the side of the cave wall and peeked, also frowning, his eyes full of doubt, not knowing what was going on.
I saw that there was something unusual about the situation, and I quietly wanted to ask the fat boy, but when I turned my head, I found that he was also staring at the corner, with a serious expression on his face, and his eyes widened, as if there was something in that place.
Seeing it like this, I began to feel more and more uneasy in my heart, this is the first time I have seen it show such an expression, as if it is facing a great enemy, just about to open my mouth to ask it what is going on, suddenly the fat boy jumped down and ran out of his legs, and said in an extremely uneasy tone: "It's those executioners!" Come on! It's still too late! If it's late, you won't be able to leave! ”
"What executioner? What the hell is going on? "I was a little furious by the sudden situation in front of me, and when I saw that the fat boy was afraid of this, it didn't seem like a joke at all, so I went to pull my brother and prepared to retreat.
At the same time, the fat boy was desperately urging us behind, and he was almost crying out in fear: "Hurry up! Don't want to live anymore?! I'm saving you! That's a knife man! ”
