Chapter 442: Footprints
Brother Hao didn't delay and followed me into the courtyard.
Although it was not late at night, the courtyard was so quiet that I could only hear the two of us breathing and footsteps.
The two of us walked one after the other, but halfway through, I suddenly felt that Brother Hao's footsteps were wrong, originally he was following me closely, only half a step behind me, and the pace was consistent with mine, so his footsteps I listened to very steady, but when I reached the middle of the yard, the footsteps suddenly stopped, and then slowly began to move away.
I quickly turned my head to look at Brother Hao, and found that Brother Hao had really changed direction, turned around and walked back.
I whispered Brother Hao twice, but Brother Hao didn't seem to hear it at all, and there was no reaction at all. The courtyard was not very big, and now I have reached the center of the courtyard, and I am afraid of alarming the people in the room, so I don't dare to shout Brother Hao too loudly, so I chased after him for two steps, wanting to go over and grab him.
When I went around to Brother Hao, I found that Brother Hao's eyes were very wrong, although his eyes were wide open, his eyes were motionless, very sluggish, and he walked very mechanically, and the whole person was in a state of semi-sleepwalking.
I didn't dare to wake him up directly, so I followed him and walked back to the gate, watching him slowly turn around and stand back in the position we had just set off.
Brother Hao looked at where he was, looked at me again, sighed, and said, "Even you can't get in, it seems that it is really not that easy to save my son." ”
I said, "Don't be discouraged, although I didn't go in just now, it doesn't mean I can't get in." You know, how did you just get back? ”
Brother Hao said, "I don't know. ”
I shone my flashlight on the ground, and the ground of this small yard was not paved with bricks or anything like that, it was just an ordinary dirt floor with clear footprints on it.
I said, "You just walked back by yourself, you see, first you walked to the middle of the courtyard, then you turned around, and when you walked back, you turned around, and adjusted your posture, and then you went back to the original point completely." ”
Brother Hao squatted down and looked at the footprints on the ground carefully, as if he had never seen his own footprints.
I said, "Did you always come at night before?" Never noticed the footprints on the ground? ”
Brother Hao was still looking at the footprints on the ground as if he hadn't heard me at all.
I patted him and asked, "What do you think?" ”
Brother Hao said, "You just stood here all the time, watching me go in and go in a circle, and then come out again, right?" ”
I said, "No, we both went in together, but I found you in the middle of the courtyard and turned back, so I followed you back again." ”
Brother Hao frowned and said, "No, if you go in with me, how can there be only one footprint here?" ”
I was stunned, and I squatted down to look carefully at the footprints on the ground, and found that there were really only two rows of footprints, one row into the yard and one row back.
This, how is it possible, I am a living person, how can I not have footprints? I quickly shone my flashlight under my feet, and I lifted my feet to look at the place where I was stepping on now.
I have footprints, the position I stepped on can be clearly seen, and there is also a pair of footprints not far behind me, just one step away from me, the pattern of the sole of the shoe is the same as my shoe, it should be left by me just now.
When I saw this, Brother Hao also saw it, and the two of us looked at each other, neither of us understanding what was going on.
Just now, it was clear that both of us had entered the courtyard, and we both came back after reaching the middle of the courtyard, but there was only one set of footprints.
The footprints that went to me were in front of Brother Hao, and the footprints were the same as the pattern on the soles of Brother Hao's shoes, but the footprints that came back were behind me, and the footprints were the same as the patterns on the soles of my shoes.
This thing is a bit strange, if you follow this footprint to push back, that is, Brother Hao walked into the yard, and then became me in the yard, and walked back, but after I walked back, Brother Hao, who had already walked into the yard, appeared at the origin inexplicably.
Brother Hao looked at me and said, "What kind of spell is this?" Are you sure you just followed me into the courtyard? ”
I said, "I'm sure, don't you see I'm coming back from the yard?" ”
Brother Hao said: "Then, how to explain this? ”
I said, "Don't be foolish, let's follow these footprints and take a look, the footprints here are different from the footprints that come back, and see what has changed, and we should be able to know why." ”
Brother Hao glanced at me and said, "This is how you cultivators deal with this kind of thing?" ”
I said, "Or else?" Do you think I should light two sticks of incense and ask if there are any demons or monsters at work here, and then burn some paper and ask them to make way? ”
Brother Hao nodded and said, "This sounds more reliable, do you have incense on you?" ”
I said helplessly: "Brother Hao, your imagination is really rich, and you have a very good sense of humor, but now you don't know what your son's specific situation is, you are still in the mood to be humorous here, I really want to admire you, your psychological quality is really not comparable to ordinary people." ”
Brother Hao frowned and said, "Do I have it?" ”
I said, "Yes, very much, I can't resist your humor." ”
Brother Hao said, "No, if I were really so humorous, shouldn't you laugh?" I didn't see you laugh either. ”
I was stunned for a moment, so I had to say, "I think that if I laugh now, it will seem very inappropriate, and I haven't solved the matter entrusted to me by the subject, and it is not yet time for me to laugh." ”
Brother Hao sighed, I don't know what he's doing, for Brother Hao's character, I really don't know what to say, this person is really, really, really extraordinary.
Don't talk nonsense, walk up, follow the footprints, look for it step by step, I want to see how these two people walked and became a person walking.
This time, Brother Hao was in front, and I followed behind with a flashlight, looking at the footprints as I walked.
When I was about to reach the middle of the courtyard, Brother Hao suddenly turned around and asked me, "Child, what size shoes do you wear?" ”
I was stunned for a moment, thinking that Brother Hao's sense of humor was about to explode again, and just wanted to complain about him, I suddenly thought of something.
It's so simple, and it's so silly and boring that the two of us are still suspicious.
