【030】Evil fog strikes
The blue smoke cleared, and several heads parted. One of them said: "Let's estimate, if we succeed in doing this ticket, how much will we earn, and how much can one person get?" ”
"Look at their big bags and small bags, and a small suitcase to count, it should be a lot." The man who replied said with a greedy look in his eyes.
"They've been gone for days, so they should have turned around!"
"Hmm!" At this moment, someone outside the door exclaimed, "Something is wrong." ”
The people in the house hurriedly ran out, but after running out, it was as if they had entered an illusory world. The surroundings are white, and they can't see each other, including their surroundings.
Someone waved his hands wildly, in vain, trying to drive away the sudden mist.
There was a loud noise, and the dull sound of the wooden basin beating, and it was a mess. This was the largest haze attack ever encountered in Backwater Bay, and there seemed to be something hidden in the endless haze that the naked eye could not see.
All of a sudden, there was a rooster and dog barking in Dead Water Bay, and the rooster's cry was very abnormal, like the sharp struggle and fluttering bark of someone choking the neck. The barking of the dog is also very weird, as if facing a demon full of evil, while retreating, while holding the tail and wailing.
Listening to the terrible screams of the livestock, the mountain people were terrified, shouting and shuttling through the dense fog, looking for their families. In the mist, the scene is as unreal as in a dream, and every cubic meter of space gives people a strange sense of shock.
Because of a nightmare, Xu Qian fell into a deep sleep when it was almost dawn, and the sleep during that time period at dawn was really sleeping, which was quiet and sweet!
The first to be woken up by the noise outside was Zhiqing, who got up to alarm Qin Nan. The two of them hurriedly put on their clothes and ran outside in tacit understanding. Before opening the door, I was guessing in my heart whether the matter between Qin Nan and Xiaowan last night had not been settled.
It's not that there is a saying; 'The forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds?' This backwater bay is not large, nor wide, nor has a large population. It's just that he has some unscrupulous people mixed in with these kind people, and then there is a sentence for this kind of person 'black sheep'.
Last night, Zhiqing observed that among these mountain people, there were a few more prominent people. Some of them are idle, stealing chickens and dogs, not good at farming, and all they want is to eat well, dress well, and play well! And these people, who are the least likely to be wary of, will also do something out of the ordinary. Just like Qin Nan and Xiaowan were caught looking for romance here, how could there be so many coincidences that the two of them were caught red-handed? If it hadn't been followed beforehand, no one would have thought that two young men and women from other places would go to the haystack for a tryst.
Of course, this is Zhiqing's one-sided idea, and the thought that came to his mind before he opened the door.
After opening the door, his idea was completely gone. What I saw was a white mist, like a transparent curtain, hanging in the doorway.
"Master Chen, what's going on?" Qin Nan exclaimed. Subconsciously took a step back, and the haze with vitality swept in when he saw the door open. Like some terrible creature, the feeling of being a needle in a very three-dimensional way frightened him shook his hand holding the door of the house, and when he lifted it hard, the door made a slamming sound, and at the same time as it closed, a wisp of mist came in through the gap, and the moment the door closed, the fog 'swished' under the gaze of the two of them, and retreated quite spiritually.
"Wow! This...... Isn't that evil? Qin Nan was so shocked that a pair of eyes bulged like two cylinders.
"Wait~ Wait!" Zhiqing wandered around the room, looking contemplative, his sword eyebrows twisted like twisted flowers. Then he stopped and looked at Qin Nandao: "Zhong Kui, how many days have they been gone?" The original plan was to walk back and forth for a few days? ”
"It's time to be back! The time is the time they planned, more than half a day. ”
"The fog outside, there is a problem, don't act rashly yet. You settle Xu Qian and Xiaowan well, I'll go and see and come back. ”
"Don't! Otherwise, we will wait for them, and maybe they will be back soon. ”
Zhiqing smiled bitterly: "Do you know what the biggest shortcoming of our people is? It's a mantra that kills people, right away~ Both men and women, young and old, love to say 'right away,' and the result? When encountering a 100,000 urgent event, people are still 108,000 miles, and they tell people that they will come immediately, and they will wait for hours. As he spoke, Zhiqing ignored Qin Nan's obstruction, opened the door by himself, and flashed into the mist.
Zhiqing's front foot melted into the mist, and Xu Qian and Xiaowan slowly beat up. Seeing Qin Nan's panicked appearance, the two of them asked in unison, "What's wrong?" "I didn't see Zhiqing in the house, and both of them thought about whether he went to negotiate with the village chief because of what happened last night.
Before Qin Nan could reply, the noise outside and the chaotic sound of the wooden basin beating attracted the attention of the two of them.
Looking at the surprised expressions of the two, Qin Nan hurriedly explained: "In short, you two don't go out, this is what Master Chen ordered before leaving." ”
"What's going on out there?"
Qin Nan swallowed his saliva with a nervous expression, and said in a timid tone: "I don't know what's going on, after a night's work, there was a sudden fog. ”
"Fog?" Xu Qianxiu's eyebrows twisted, and her face changed. It's not good to scream! Last night, she accidentally observed that the fog on the lake was abnormal, and she was busy coming in to take care of her brother-in-law, and then something happened to Xiaowan and Qin Nan, so she forgot about it. "Oh my God! What to do? She whispered anxiously.
Seeing Xu Qian like this, Xiao Wan's heart jumped suddenly, and he hurriedly approached Qin Nan with a white face.
Qin Nan grabbed Xiao Wan's waist, gave her the comfort of touching, and hurriedly asked Xu Qian, "What's in the fog?" ”
Xu Qian shook her head nervously, and the panic in her eyes did not escape the other party's sight.
Seeing her like this, Qin Nan's heart suddenly became uneasy.
"You guys are in the house, and I'll go see my brother-in-law and the mountain people." As she spoke, Xu Qian made a gesture to go out.
Xiaowan didn't let it, and said with a crying voice: "Sister Xu Qian, don't go out, we don't know what the situation is outside, in case those mountain people riot, it's not good to take advantage of the fire to rob." ”
Get! Xiaowan's words reminded Xu Qian. She hurriedly told the two of them: "It's okay, you two close the door, don't open it if you are not familiar with it." For a while, I don't know how to explain the fog to the two of you, until I find my brother-in-law. ”
Xu Qian wore a Five Emperor Money ribbon around her neck, and when she talked about this ribbon, she couldn't help but think of Zhong Kui. If only he were there at this moment, the ghosts in the fog would not have invaded the other side of the lake so recklessly.
Xu Qian insisted on going out.
Qin Nan wanted to go out alone, it would be better for the three of them to be together, so that they could take care of each other.
In this way, the three of them walked out of the house together and threw themselves into the white mist. You can barely see each other from a foot away, and if you are a little farther away, you can only see a vague outline.
The three of them are holding hands, cautiously, taking one step at a time, and slowly groping forward.
