Su Jiping was scolded and blamed by everyone, and he was a little annoyed, and he got up from the chair angrily and was about to go crazy, but at this time, the kerosene lamp in the house suddenly went out without wind.

As soon as the oil lamp went out, the room naturally went dark.

When the room fell into darkness, because everyone could not see Su Jiping's hateful face, the scolding suddenly weakened.

When Su Jiping lit the oil lamp again, the annoyance on his face had long since disappeared, and he had replaced it with a more indifferent expression.

He sat back on the chair, picked up the unused kettle, and took a big sip of water, and then said to Zhou Guangcai casually: "Brother Zhou, I remember how good you are to me, but this happened to be together!" ”

Everyone didn't know what he meant, so they all stared at him and listened quietly to him as he continued.

Su Jiping sighed for a while before telling the truth of the matter.

Ten days ago, Su Jiping, like other villagers, was wandering around the mountains with bamboo baskets on his back, wandering aimlessly because he wanted to dig up more wild vegetables to fill his stomach.

But who knew that from morning to evening, Su Jiping would only dig up a handful of wild vegetables.

Such a little thing is not enough for Su Jiping to stuff his teeth, and even so, a handful of wild vegetables still scores several meals.

Because he ate too little at each meal, Su Jiping's stomach was rumbling with hunger at night, so that he couldn't sleep at all, and he didn't know if this stomach was against him, and the more he tried to control it to forget about his hunger, the more his stomach screamed.

Whenever he was extremely hungry, Su Jiping really wanted to eat whatever he saw, and even the only remaining Taishi chair in the house was gnawed by him.

Hungry until dawn, Su Jiping out of a desire for food, finally resolutely picked up the small bamboo basket and went straight up the mountain again.

Because I went there relatively early, the fog on the mountain was very thick, which inadvertently greatly increased the difficulty of Su Jiping's search for wild vegetables.

He bent down and groped carefully through the cracks in the stones, but at this moment, a muffled thunder suddenly sounded in the sky.

Su Jiping was startled, and when he looked up at the sky, he found that dark clouds appeared suddenly, and there was a tendency to gather more and more, and after a while, the cold wind began to pass through his ears.

With years of experience in mountain climbing, Su Jiping knew that this was a sign of heavy rain, and he was already hungry, but he never wanted to be wet by the heavy rain again.

His body and bones are not as good as they were back then, and if he is poured on his head and face by the heavy rain again, he will probably get sick.

But in the panic, he suddenly realized that he was in a thick fog at the moment, and it was difficult to find a direction, let alone find a place to shelter from the rain.

He was feeling helpless in his heart, and a few light raindrops suddenly fell on the tip of his nose.

When Su Jiping saw this posture, he knew that the heavy rain was coming, and he couldn't care much about it at the moment, and he had to spin around in the mountains like a headless fly.

Because he was in a panic and anxious, Su Jiping didn't pay attention to the one at his feet, so he rolled straight down the hillside.

After a roll, Su Jiping was so stumbling that he felt that his whole body was about to fall apart.

After lying on the ground for a while, Su Jiping supported the ground with both hands and stood up with grinning.

When he stood up, he found that it was pitch black all around, and he couldn't see his fingers at all, and a pair of eyes were completely useless at this time.

He couldn't help it, he just seemed to be a blind man, stretching out his palm in front of him and groping around, while moving forward slowly.

Maybe people have an innate fear of the dark, no, Su Jiping suddenly felt that his heart began to beat faster for no reason, and even his hairs stood on end.

He couldn't tell why he felt this way all of a sudden, but his instincts told him that something seemed to be watching him quietly.

This made his heart hang in his throat for a long time, and he was so frightened that his liver trembled but he didn't dare to roar out loud, for fear of disturbing the unknown thing to come out and kill him alive.

In the end, with a nervous mood, Su Jiping groped for a large angular stone.

The appearance of the big stone slowed down Su Jiping's tense mood a little, and he decided to sit on the stone to rest first, after all, it was too dark in front of him, so he walked recklessly, and he didn't know where he would go, so it was better to rest here first.

After resting on the big stone for a while, Su Jiping felt that the sky had changed from pitch black to dim just now, although the sky was still dark, but it was much better than the previous environment where he couldn't see his fingers, at least now he could distinguish some things in the haze, for example, the big stone he was sitting on now, because of its proximity, the crimson of the big stone itself could barely be seen clearly.

When he found that he could barely distinguish objects in front of him, Su Jiping got down from the big stone and continued to walk forward.

Just after walking a short distance, Su Jiping noticed that there seemed to be a cave opposite.

I don't know what the reason is, but in the dim environment, the outer outline of the cave is extremely clear and bright.

Something is wrong, and Su Jiping also beat a drum in his heart: Could it be that there is someone in the cave? Otherwise, why does the cave look brighter?

Stretching his neck and staring at a pair of small eyes, Su Jiping wanted to see through the appearance inside at a glance, but the distance was a little far, so that he could never see the specific appearance inside the cave.

Just when he was concentrating on the cave, gusts of cold wind suddenly blew from inside the cave, and Su Jiping, who was standing in place, was shivering from the cold wind, and couldn't help but tighten the thin clothes on his body.

Just as he was about to approach the cave to find out, he suddenly heard a strange sound from the depths of the cave: "Squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak......"

Well? What is this sound?

The vigilant Su Jiping couldn't help but stop, and secretly wondered in his heart: Was that the sound of a person just now? How does it sound weird? It feels like a rat's sound, no, no, no, it's like a crow, and it's not like it.

After thinking about it, he couldn't figure out what was the sound in the cave just now, Su Jiping was stunned and didn't know what to do, only to hear a miserable scream from the cave: "Ah!! Save... Fate..."

This time Su Jiping heard it really, the voice just now was definitely a human voice, but how did it sound like a cry for help? Could it be that there is some terrible beast in that cave?

This discovery couldn't help but make Su Jiping suspicious, he didn't dare to approach the direction of the cave for a long time, but hurriedly found an extremely hidden position near the cave and quickly hid, only occasionally poking his head out and secretly watching inside for a while.

Time passed slowly, about half an hour or so, and the entrance to the cave was still quiet, as if nothing had happened.

The cave was so quiet that Su Jiping, who was hiding in the shadows, couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and he couldn't help but start to doubt himself: Could it be that I heard it wrong just now? I guess I was too nervous to cause the auditory hallucinations, right?

It's been so long, and it's still quiet in the cave, and it is estimated that there are no beasts in it at all, and it seems that it is just scaring itself.

Thinking of this, Su Jiping laughed a few times like self-deprecation, he was about to come out of the hiding place, but he never expected that at the same time, a black thing ran out of the mouth of the cave.

No way! What is this?

Su Jiping, who was caught off guard, trembled with fright, and hurriedly hid back to his original place.

He stared at the entrance of the cave with wide eyes, only to see a small, black unknown thing, standing outside the cave and looking around with its neck extended.

Because of the distance, Su Jiping couldn't see it very clearly, and he couldn't tell what kind of animal that little thing was.

But in terms of size, it looks like an extremely large black mouse.

It's just that the rat's eyes are blood-red, and even in the dim environment, there is a palpitating ghostly light.

Oh my god!

After scolding in his heart, Su Jiping almost didn't exclaim, he realized his gaffe, and quickly blocked his mouth with his hand.

Su Jiping left the hidden tree in fear, because he was afraid that his whereabouts would be revealed, and it would be troublesome to be targeted by the rat spirit, and he didn't want to die, so he could only run for his life while he hadn't been discovered yet.

When I was halfway through the race, it suddenly rained in the sky.

In this barren mountain range, there is no village in front of the village and no shop in the back, Su Jiping had to find a cave in a panic and drill into it, but the rain became heavier and heavier, and he had to lean on the stone wall alone and wait for the heavy rain to stop.

Waiting like this, he unknowingly, slowly fell asleep.

Maybe he was too nervous mentally, Su Jiping slept so comfortably this night.

A cold wind blew, Su Jiping was shocked, woke up suddenly, opened his eyes in a daze, and found that the rain was still dripping.

"You're awake, young man." An old voice suddenly came from Su Jiping's ears.

Hearing this voice, Su Jiping reflexively jumped up from the ground and shouted, "Who! Who's talking! ”

His scalp was numb, his legs were shaking like chaff, his spirit was on the verge of collapse, and when he followed the sound and looked back, he found an old man standing behind him.

When the old man saw his reaction like this, he giggled and couldn't stop giggling, and after a while, he slowly said, "Oh, don't be afraid, young man, I'm not a bad person." No, it's my son's birthday, so I went down to the city to buy him something good. ”
