Chapter 14: The Dead Land
No one spoke, and I hurried in silence, I wanted to cover the snow, but I found that Bai Xue and Ma Li were already under a plastic sheet, and Mark was holding on to them.
I don't know how long I walked, but under the cover of several big trees in front of me, a small two-story building appeared in front of me at once.
Walking on the dead leaves on the ground, there was a rustling sound under our feet, and when we reached the door of the house, Mark stopped knocking on the door.
We flashed our flashlights towards the house.
This is a dilapidated hut, the open space outside the gate is full of dead branches and leaves, this house looks like it has not been inhabited for many years, and the light just now is ......
Lacey and I took a few steps forward, Zhang San and Zhao Dong followed behind us, and the most incomprehensible thing appeared in front of us.
The entire exterior of the two-story building was shrouded in a huge fishing net, like a large net thrown from the sky by a god who held the whole house in a strong net.
It was raining heavily, there was nothing around, but my heart was beating wildly, and I walked to the house step by step, and the flashlight flashed twice, and suddenly went out.
I shook the flashlight, but there was no response, Lacey walked to my side, took my arm and walked forward step by step, someone grabbed me, and I became bolder, and approached the house, and the net was clearly presented in front of me.
The net was woven from very thick and thick hemp rope, which had turned black, and this net had been here for at least ten years.
I felt a faint uneasiness in my heart, and looked down the net, and there were many small hemp ropes tied to the edge of the net, and the small hemp ropes were almost completely buried by dead leaves, and it looked like a netting of hemp rope sticking out of the ground.
I used my foot to pull away the dead leaves under the fine hemp rope, under which was a round black object the size of a coin, and I squatted down and grabbed the thin hemp rope and lifted it up, which turned out to be a copper coin.
Why is that?
I continued to use my hand to remove the dead leaves beside me, and Lacey's flashlight followed my hand, and copper coins were exposed on the ground, and the thin hemp rope on the edge of the net was tied with a copper coin each.
My doubts grew larger and larger, and I slowly walked along the eaves to a window of the house, which was an old carved wooden window from ancient times, and a rusty kitchen knife hung above the window frame.
Hanging kitchen knives or scissors on windows or doors has been used by people to ward off evil spirits since ancient times.
Just then, there was a sound of the door being kicked open, followed by Mark's voice
"A dilapidated house is also used to prevent theft"
Then my heart ached, it felt so bad, it hurt the back of my head, and I screamed, "Don't go in, don't go in."
Shouting as he ran to the door of this room.
Mark gave me a disdainful look, "coward," and stepped in.
"Mark, come out quickly, this net is not to prevent people from entering from the outside, this is to prevent things inside from coming out, Mark, come out quickly, quickly,"
I yelled and was about to rush forward, but Lacey grabbed me.
"Stay out of here if you're timid, we're going to go in and take shelter from the rain," Mark yelled at me before beckoning Martin and them in.
Ma Li pulled Bai Xue and walked inside, and I shouted, "Bai Xue"
Bai Xue turned her head to look at me, and walked into the room with Ma Li.
No, Bai Xue went in, there may be danger inside, I want to protect Bai Xue, thinking about it, I broke free of Lacey's hand and walked in again, this time being pulled by Lacey and Zhao Dong.
Lacey looked at me and said, "Calm down."
"If something happens to them, we will save them again, and if you are like this again, Bai Xue will look down on you even more"
This sentence calmed me down a little.
Zhang San said to me, "You guys are outside, I'll go in too, if it's okay, I'll call you in", after speaking, he took out his walkie-talkie and stuffed one in Zhao Dong's hand,
"I'll go", Lacey let go of me and took the walkie-talkie in Zhang San's hand,
I nodded, and with Lacey with me, I was much more relieved.
Lacey walked to the gate, stood at the door, "Hey, hey", tried the walkie-talkie, heard the sound from Zhao Dong's machine, looked at me and smiled, pushed open the door of the house, and stepped forward
Get in
The door of the room slowly closed again, and Lacey disappeared from my sight, and I couldn't even see the light from his flashlight.
I took two steps back, it's strange, so many people go in, almost everyone has a flashlight in their hands, why is there no light coming out of the windows of this room, maybe the door of the room inside is closed.
I took two steps back and retreated under the big tree to hide from the rain, but the rain still hit me unreservedly, and my flashlight shot upward, and the tree had already died, leaving only a few thick trunks stretching out into the sky with teeth and claws.
The sky suddenly lit up, a bolt of lightning pierced the night sky, and the trunk of the tree writhed in the wind, a scene that was a little scary.
Zhao Dong and Zhang San used a simple triangular shed with a plastic blanket next to him, boom, and the thunder hit down at this time, which made people inadvertently frightened.
This dead tree, the rainstorm is just a haunted house, that is the three elements of American horror films, haunted houses? I looked up at the two-story hut, and another lightning bolt struck, and the shadows of the trees with teeth and claws cast on the walls, and I felt a thrill in my heart.
The withered reeds just now, the dead trees now, and an old house are also symbols of strong yin energy.
When I thought of this, I couldn't help but shiver again, and my body began to chill under the torrential rain.
"Xiaoshuai, come", Zhang San shouted to me.
Instead, I grabbed the Micron flashlight that Lacey had given me and walked to the side of the house.
"Xiao Shuai", Zhao Dong's shout came from the rain.
I turned to look at them, and my face was so solemn that I couldn't speak.
Zhang San and Zhao Dong immediately rushed over, and in the heavy rain, our flashlights shone on the ground and circled around this room.
"Xiaoshuai, what's wrong" Zhao Dong asked
"No grass grows, no grass grows,,,,"
"Xiaoshuai, what's wrong", Zhang San also asked me loudly.
"Quick, look on both sides, see how many steps there are before there is grass alive", I wondered in my heart and didn't want to explain.
"Zhao Dong, you go this way, Zhang San, you go over there"
When I had finished explaining, I shouted into the hut,
"Lacey,,, Lacey, Lacey, Snowy,,,, Mark,,, Martin, Mary, ,,,"
There was no answer, and I became a little anxious, hurry, hurry
I quickly went back to the tree, went to the triangular canopy, found my waterproof backpack, took out a bag of incense, took out four sticks of incense, lit it, and inserted it in the triangular canopy.
He got up again and walked in the other direction.
After walking about ten steps, a patch of dead grass appeared under the light, and I continued walking.
Withered grass, withered grass, still withered grass, and finally after walking about thirty steps, I found a little green mixed in the withered grass.
"Little Shuai"
"Little Shuai"
Zhao Dong and Zhang San have come back, this heavy rain is falling, and you have to roar loudly if you are far away.
I turned and walked back, and as soon as I took a step, I came again, and my left foot was firmly grasped, and I fell to the ground again.
Sit up, still with nothing behind you.
It dawned on me that there was a god preventing me from going over.
I'm sorry, my brother was there, and, yes, snow.
I bowed my head and bowed behind me, said thank you, and turned to run towards the hut.
