【047】 The legend of semi-rubber shoes
Looking at the three followers beside him, Zhong Kui secretly made up his mind.
The three of them changed shifts to pay attention to Zhong Kui, and the items they were carrying fell on them. The three of them let Zhong Kui walk in the middle alone, one in front and two in the back, so that he was caught in the middle, even if he wanted to, it was impossible.
On the road, the three of them reported their names, and the short one was called Dongwa. The tall man is called cowpea, Zhong Kui took a closer look at this person and looked like a cowpea, really tall, thin and without muscles. The other one is fair-skinned and has a somewhat elegant appearance, and people say that his name is Li Xiucai.
Zhong Kui learned from the fast-talking Dongwa that the three of them were all from Donghua Village. Because of what kind of training, I met the Minister of Armed Forces, and the Minister of Armed Forces said; The task of sending them three this time is very difficult, and if it is completed, they will be promoted to squad leaders.
Zhong Kui asked the three of them, what is the task assigned to them by the Minister of Armed Forces?
The three of them had a playful smile on their faces, and said in unison: "Protect you." ”
Seeing the strange looks of the three of them and hearing the words of the three of them, Zhong Kui smiled. Is it protection or surveillance? Who knows! Or is it blocked?
All three of them wore canvas semi-rubber shoes, but Zhong Kui wore a pair of old leather shoes given to him by Liu Wengen. These thick-soled old leather shoes, not to mention the cumbersome walking, are also particularly rustic.
There is another thing that Zhong Kui can't understand, that is, in this era, it is great to have a pair of semi-rubber shoes to wear! Wearing it on your feet exudes a foreign atmosphere, and wearing a pair of semi-rubber shoes will be stained by the whole family.
Seeing that Zhong Kui's body was full of dirt and scum, the three of them stomped on the semi-rubber shoes on their feet more and more, and the grass-green military uniform they wore on their bodies made them look like a foreign plate with a lively spirit.
Zhong Kui knew that they were literate and knew that they were all activists, and activists were the most popular in this era.
During the break, there was a man who pulled out a pen that could draw lines. Zhong Kui was very interested in this pen, and when he asked for it from them, he drew a thin black line in the palm of his hand.
"Damn! Wasted. Li Xiucai snatched the pen from Zhong Kui's hand and said distressedly.
Zhong Kui didn't understand, wasn't this just for painting? Just drew it like that, what's the waste? He pouted and was speechless and didn't pay attention to the three of them.
Zhong Kui has no intention of harming people, and the area in front of him is the area where Liu Wengen encountered the ghost city. He took the three of them to another path that had not yet been opened, but these three were very many hearts. The stubborn ignored his guidance and insisted on going that way.
"There's a ghost over there." With a twist of thick eyebrows, Zhong Kui warned in a serious tone.
"Ghosts?" Cowpea squinted, grimaced at the other two, and said, "Did you see the ghost?" ”
The two of them realized that Cowpea was going to play tricks on Zhong Kui, so they hurriedly replied: "I haven't seen a ghost, but I have seen this ghost of the living dead." ”
The three of them laughed unbridled at Zhong Kui in unison, and at the same time pressed forward step by step with bad intentions.
Zhong Kui looked at the three of them vigilantly, and asked, "What do you want to do?" ”
The tall cowpea, rolled up his sleeves, and said with a smug expression: "We want to see what special marks you have on your body and why you are different." ”
"How dare you be presumptuous?" Zhong Kui was shocked, and while guarding against the attack of the three people, he continued to warn at the exit.
The three of them ignored Zhong Kui's warning, and still pressed over. Looking at this posture, Zhong Kui seemed to understand something. Looking at the dark woods behind him, it was not far from Menling Village, and as long as he crossed this woods, he could reach the edge of the purple bamboo forest. So that they can make a detour to the dry river beach, and only by running in this way can they get rid of their siege and surveillance.
After thinking about it, Zhong Kui turned around and ran without hesitation. The three people behind sneered, like a hunter looking at an escaped prey, and followed with a whistle.
The dark woods, dark and damp, with messy leaves under their feet and dense branches overhead, criss-crossed and indistinguishable from the north and south.
The three people who chased Zhong Kui also had some scruples when they entered the woods. Saying; The three had also heard some stories about the Menling Village incident. Therefore, when the three of them entered the woods, they did not dare to take it lightly, and slowly entered step by step, checking the terrain and observing where Zhong Kui might be hiding.
The three of them wandered around the woods for a while, not even seeing Zhong Kui's shadow. He was about to leave the woods, when a terrible and eerie cry came from another part of the woods.
It doesn't sound like Zhong Kui's voice, could it be that there are others in this woods? Cowpea first proposed to search separately, and then received Li Xiucai's support. Dongwa was a little unhappy, he was afraid! It's not far from the haunted village, and maybe the ghost is waiting for them in the woods!
Dongwa thought that they wouldn't listen to this boring nonsense. When I was a child, I used to make rock-paper-scissors, but now I am an adult, and I don't need to play this childish trick. The three obey the plan of the minority by the majority and make the ruling.
The dark woods seem to hide something around that can't see the light. The call or two of an unknown bird sounded eerie at the moment. Maybe the cry just now was made by this bullshit bird. The two of them were bent on tossing people, deliberately saying that the birds were calling as if they were calling.
Dongwa glanced nervously at the branches of the trees in the woods, from her current position, she couldn't see through the outside at all, and the outside world seemed to be covered by a layer of black cloth.
If you can't see the route clearly, you can't go wrong with going in one direction. Thinking like this, Dongwa really walked in the opposite direction of breaking up with her partner just now.
Just as Dong Wa's monograph was looking for the direction of walking, suddenly there was a crisp 'click' from behind him, as if something had been stepped on artificially and made a sound.
As soon as he heard a sound in the dead woods, he hurriedly asked in a trembling voice, "Who?" When she asked, she felt that she was too nervous. The words that came out were all trills, and he was afraid of the feeling of being alone in a dark environment.
Dongwa has never forgotten an incident that happened in her childhood. Because of his playfulness, he walked into a large dark woods and lost his way. Ended up spending a night of fear in the woods, and was not found by the adults until the next day. He didn't want to think about the feeling of being lost, and he tried his best to reject that feeling and regenerate it in his mind.
With another 'click' sound, before Dongwa could ask a second sound, he really saw the ghost, and the terrifying black with a gust of wind rushed directly across from him.
Dongwa's open mouth couldn't make a sound, and she felt a cold thing pass through her neck, followed by a hot gas, spraying out in a pouring state......
Cowpea and Li Xiucai didn't really separate, what they wanted was to scare and scare Dongwa. After the two of them wandered around the woods for a while, they didn't find any trace of Zhong Kui, so they had to approach Dongwa's side dejectedly.
The swarthy woods, like a high wall, are more like a huge black curtain that obscures all light. Occasionally, a small ray of sunlight seeped in, and it was also ravaged by the hurried figures of the two of them.
Cowpea felt that the woods were too quiet, and besides, didn't Dongwa have been looking for the two of them all this time? He looked nervously at the trees that covered the sky. The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, so he grabbed Li Xiucai and said, "Do you think there is a problem here?" ”
