Chapter 149: A Mysterious Ritual
"You go back to the tent first, don't come out until I call it."
Long Jiaojiao said as she slowly let go of the hand covering my mouth, her eyes still staring at the blue light that was approaching below the mountain.
I shuddered, turned around and ran back, bringing two tents with us. Guang Shaoqing slept on one, and I ran into the other.
Lying in it, I couldn't sleep, and the scene I had just seen kept coming to my mind. Just sit up and sit, it's quiet outside, a little bit like you're inside the mountains.
There was a constant sound of insects just now, but nothing could be heard at this time. It's just that through the tent, you can see that the bonfire outside is still flashing red, but you can't see whether Long Jiaojiao is still standing there.
After sitting for a while, I gradually felt less nervous than just now, maybe I got used to it after a long time. I dozed off while sitting, and when I listened carefully, there was no movement outside, and I lay down and fell asleep in a daze.
I don't know how long it took, but I was woken up by a noisy sound of footsteps. As soon as I wanted to go out to have a look, I saw a constant flash of blue light outside the tent.
Before I was fully awake, I shivered instantly, and suddenly came to my senses. Thinking of Long Jiaojiao's words, she hurriedly shrank back again, so frightened that she didn't dare to stare at the blue light outside.
Afraid that they would rush in in an instant, and looked around and saw that there was nothing to use as a weapon. I could only wrap myself in a blanket and lie down again, thinking that I couldn't see me! Can't see me!
Those blue lights seemed to pass by, but they were just dangling outside and couldn't be seen. I fell asleep unconsciously, and when I slept for a while and woke up for a while, I couldn't figure out whether it was a dream or a reality.
The whole person has been in a daze, and his head seems to be filled with paste. Not to mention the headache, I was a little dizzy, and I looked outside that it was not yet dawn.
The flames of the bonfire were no longer visible, and Long Jiaojiao did not come in to rest. I was about to sleep a little longer, and as soon as I lay down, I heard what seemed to be someone talking outside.
Listened carefully to the voices of Long Jiaojiao and Guang Shaoqing, a male and a female voice is easy to distinguish, but I can't hear what I'm talking about.
I want to sleep anymore but I can't sleep anymore, and I think it should be fine. Otherwise, they wouldn't be chatting outside, and I wouldn't have anything to fear with them.
The main thing is Long Jiaojiao, which gives me a great sense of security. I figured nothing would happen with her, so I crawled out with a blanket.
The mountain breeze at night was still a little cold, and I couldn't help but shiver and felt that my brain was much clearer, and my head didn't hurt as much as it did just now.
Although the bonfire outside has been extinguished, it is very bright outside. I couldn't help but look up, and the moon was shining brightly overhead.
It's just that I didn't see Long Jiaojiao's figure of Guang Shaoqing, and the voice I heard just now is gone. I looked around and found no figure, and there seemed to be a dead silence all around.
I hurriedly returned to the tent quilt and whispered a few words by Guang Shaoqing's name. But there was no movement in the tent, and I instantly panicked.
This is in the middle of the barren mountains and not at home, even at home, Guang Shaoqing will not sleep so deeply. I usually shouted him no more than three times and he would wake up, and it had become a habit.
At this point, I couldn't help but open the tent, and sure enough, there was no one inside.
Long Jiaojiao and Guang Shaoqing are gone!
I suddenly felt that the whole person was not good, and I had just heard how it disappeared in a blink of an eye. And even if you have something to leave, you should say hello to me, don't they know that it's really scary to leave me here like this.
I looked around warily, and even though I was drumming, I thought I should go back to the tent and sleep a little longer. Maybe they'll come back when I wake up, but it's impossible for me to go to them this big night.
He pulled the blanket on his body and turned around to go back, but when he turned his head, he saw that there seemed to be a figure shaking on the cliff. In an instant, his frightened legs were weak and he sat directly on the ground, and the stones hurt from the separation.
I slowly climbed up, looking at the figures on the cliff to determine if it was Long Jiaojiao and Guang Shaoqing. As I watched, one of them suddenly turned around, and a pair of eyes glowed blue and caught me in an instant.
I felt my scalp tingle and my whole body stopped obeying. I wanted to run into the tent and hide, but I felt that my legs were like noodles and I couldn't stand up.
It was clearly not a normal person's eyes, but like a ghostly light emitted by a hollow eye socket. It just stared at me, and after a few seconds it turned back again.
I hurriedly settled down and swallowed and foamed. Cautiously walking towards the tent, a long scream broke through the air.
Then the sounds of various instruments played together with unknown tunes, which were high-pitched and tactful. The style of the song is simple, but it is also sad. I couldn't help but be stunned when I heard it, and tears unconsciously flowed from my eyes.
The sound sounded very clear, coming from the top of the cliff. At this moment, the figure on the cliff began to shake rapidly, as if it was dancing some kind of collective dance.
The blue glow grew more and more, flickering on it. It turned out to be these people who had just passed by, but it seemed to be in the direction of where we wanted to go.
I hurried back to the tent, the sound above me still ringing overhead. Thinking to himself if they should come down, he looked around vigilantly as he thought.
Just as I was nervously looking around, there was a sudden movement outside the tent, and I hurriedly turned my head to look, only to see a figure flashing by.
I was so frightened that my heart almost stopped, and I hurriedly grabbed the blanket, thinking that I could resist it in a critical moment.
I was scared of the six gods when suddenly a face pressed in against the tent. I couldn't see the outline, but there was a faint blue light in the sunken eye sockets.
I was so frightened that I stepped back, and my mouth opened wide involuntarily. Before he could scream, he was covered by a hand from behind.
The sudden change scared me almost fainted, but I was still a little stronger than I thought. hurriedly stretched out his leg and kicked it impartially, just in front of the strange face that pressed in.
The man seemed to be crouching and was kicked violently, rolling backwards. I tried to break free from the grip behind me, but I felt that the strength of this person on the other side was unimaginable.
Because I used all my strength, and here it was like nothing had happened. I felt like it wasn't moving behind my back, and I kept struggling to break its hand.
But I heard a familiar voice in my ears: "An An, it's me." ”
It was Long Jiaojiao's voice, and I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and collapsed on the ground.
She slowly let go of her hand, not knowing when she was already crouching behind me. I looked at the tent and it seemed to be still intact, but it shouldn't be too difficult for her to jump off the cliff!
"Where did you just go?"
I almost cried as I watched her.
Long Jiaojiao made a silent movement and pulled through the tent, and I felt that the flowers in front of me had already gone outside. She beckoned, Guang Shaoqing was already dressed, carrying a bag and quietly spared from behind, Long Jiaojiao handed me the clothes and said softly, "Get dressed first." ”
I glanced up at the top of the cliff, and although I couldn't see clearly, I could still see a shadowy figure wandering. Hurriedly dressed, Long Jiaojiao pulled me in front of me and behind Guang Shaoqing took something and quietly entered the forest.
I took advantage of the moonlight to walk down the mountain in one go, perhaps it was the fright just now that stimulated my potential. So I was able to keep up with Long Jiaojiao's pace, although I was very tired, I was not so tired.
The sky gradually brightened, and the fog slowly rose from the forest. Long Jiaojiao led the way in front, and I couldn't help asking, "Where did you go last night?" Who the hell are those? ”
Long Jiaojiao turned her head to look at me and said, "First of all, we have been there all along, but you haven't seen it." Secondly, those are not people at all, but ghosts. ”
I couldn't help but get a cold fight, and I kicked one of them last night. Thinking that they would not chase after me, I looked back at Guang Shaoqing and he smiled at me, and I made up my mind.
Long Jiaojiao turned her head to look at me and said, "They must have been holding some important ceremony last night, otherwise we wouldn't have been so lucky." And we have to get to our destination before dark, otherwise I can't guarantee that the trip will be very smooth. ”
She shrugged her shoulders helplessly, looked at me and Guang Shaoqing and turned to leave. I hurried to follow, unable to care any longer. I was bent on getting out of here as soon as possible, and now I feel that I have done too little homework here.
Along the way, Guang Shaoqing followed without saying a word, and only stopped at noon to eat a little food and drink some water.
Finally, I walked more than half the way, but the more I was about to arrive, the more I tested the limits of people's physical strength. With the greenery and the vegetation that looks the same, you can't tell how far you've gone.
I was too tired to walk, so Guang Shaoqing supported me while carrying things. Long Jiaojiao's pace also slowed down, and we walked up the river we had seen before.
Finally, before the sun was about to set, I saw a bamboo building patted and an archway tied together with bamboo. Seeing this, I couldn't help but feel refreshed and hurriedly ran over.
Now the only luxury is to take a hot shower and get a good night's sleep. But when we walked in, we realized that something was wrong.
The whole village was very quiet, and there was not a single sound. And it was empty, Guang Shaoqing and I followed Long Jiaojiao into a bamboo building.
The inside was very clean and the daily necessities were all available. It's just that there is no one in the shadows, and we have withdrawn and left several houses.
I wondered if they were all out for some kind of event, right? But why is there not even a shadow of a pofowl, nor a shadow of an old man or a child?
