Chapter 16: The Great Black Bull
"Hook, this is out of my leg?" , I sat up straight and looked at my legs by the moonlight, but I didn't find anything unusual, just a few round bubbles burned by the coals, but if I want to say that it hurts, it is far less than the imaginary drill;
"Sarmon used to say that it was an evil insect, and it was because of this thing that no one in generations had dared to break into the quagmire of the waterhole," the hook paused, rubbed the blue liquid on his chest with his hand, and sniffed it on the tip of his nose;
"There are all these little insects under the mudflats, and whatever they pass through the mudflats, they must have a few attached to them, and they will sneak into the middle of the skin and flesh, but you don't even feel the slightest feeling, even if you roast them over the fire, they won't feel pain, but when they grow up...";
As he spoke, he licked his nose with the tip of his tongue and continued: "By the time they grow up in your body, you will have become a skeleton with skin, and our people used to escape from the slave camp and be captured, so they took this thing with them, and they died not long after, I have seen... He died a terrible death~".
I listened to the hook with palpitations, but in my mind I was recalling the scene of this red-blooded insect crawling on my calf before I fell into a coma, and the most terrible thing was that this thing could get into the flesh without pain, like a parasite, but it was much more terrible than a leech, and I couldn't help but cry out about the danger.
The hook buried the larva carcass, and I put on my pants again, and not far away I heard the footsteps of a few people, and then I heard one of the men say: "It doesn't work there, it's too high, you will fall to your death if you climb down, only the way to the water can get out......";
The voice was very simple and rough, as if it had some big tongues, and such a voice had never been heard before among the white-robed people;
"You be quiet, he's awake, let's solve this matter ourselves, tomorrow everyone pack up their things and go back to that temporary camp first, maybe tomorrow the terrain will change again!"
I could hear it as a tiger girl, but I didn't know who she was talking to, but one thing was for sure, I rarely heard her speak in a "consultative" tone.
"Huya said that the terrain will change, what's going on?" I asked the hook beside me, who was always squinting at me silly, but she ignored me as if she were deaf to me, grinning at her dirty hair, and I was so frightened that I could see it.
"What do you mean by the terrain changing again?" I gently pushed the hook lying beside me, and it was pushing against her collarbone;
"Don't push this, if you want to push it a little further", she still smiled and groaned, a pair of eyes that could talk about love words blinked at me and fanned me, and before the words fell, she really took my hand and put it on her chest.
"Why do I ask you seriously! Also, did we catch the black shadow man we chased that day? Who saved me from crawling out of the pool? Who was talking to Huya just now? I broke free from the hook's nonsense, and I really wanted to kick the fox like a tiger, but now I don't have any strength in my legs, and it is difficult to turn over.
"Don't ask her, she guards you every day these days, and she may not know more than you", Huya's voice suddenly came from behind her;
I turned my head to see that the tiger girl was taking care of her braids, and walked towards me with a tired face, followed by a dark but burly man, probably from the perspective of looking up, and the mountain was very tall, the same stranger I had seen when I woke up last time.
"It's you he saved you, that is, the black shadow we chased, he is a demon man", Huya answered my question without pause;
"Spirits? How could a Spiritman be so short? I glanced at the man and said, but as soon as the words fell, the man's nostrils suddenly began to sullen, and he stared at me with a very ugly face, as if he was angry, and rushed towards me with his hands clenched into fists;
"Slap" was crispy, and Huya's slap slapped firmly on the back of the guy's head: "He is our Shanna, there is no malice, you be honest";
It's also strange to say, Huya slapped it, and the person who was like a cow immediately changed his face, bowed and bent over, and looked at Huya with peach blossoms in his eyes, like a follower;
"He's the child of the Evil Spirit and the Native, don't call him short, don't call him black," Tiger said to me slowly, soothing the man;
It turned out to be a string, I nodded at the man in my heart to express my gratitude for saving my life, and then I carefully looked at the person by the firelight, but I was surprised to find that the black on this master's body was not smeared black mud, or his skin was already very black, almost close to the color of black mud, and his messy hair was combed into countless pigtails.
"Big man, what's your name?"; I asked him with one hand on the ground, but who expected that the master would not pay any attention to me;
"Hurry up, Shanna is asking your name", seeing this, the tiger girl raised her hand and patted the man's shoulder, and said softly, it is rare to see this female leopard have such a gentle moment;
"I ...... My name is Ah Coo, Da Vagul A, "When the Han Niu heard Hu Ya's words, he reluctantly said a series of names;
Ahh You're not wearing a white hat, what's your name? I muttered to the tiger girl, "How did you catch this black bull?" ”; As soon as he finished speaking, he regretted it a little, for fear that this master would not even be able to hear the word "black", of course, they must not know what "cow" is.
Hu Ya frowned when she heard this: "I was caught by him, but he let me go, and he always followed me, and he was willing to join us";
"No... It's not you, I only want to follow you, I can be your slave", the black bull stammered when he heard Huya's words.
I looked at the tiger girl with a smile on the corner of my mouth, and then at the black cow, muttering in my heart that it wouldn't be... Could it be that he was the one who finally brought down the female leopard?
"Can you walk now? If we can, we'll go to another place now, it's not very safe here", Huya ignored the black bull's words, but leaned down and looked at my leg and asked;
I shook my head at Huya and said, "Where the hell are we now?" What do you mean when you two say that the terrain will change? ”;
"I don't know where it is, the hook said it looks like their original demon girl island, but she hasn't seen this place either, and she hasn't seen those white robes either, he... Oh, you call him the Black Bull, and the Black Bull says that every day here changes, and maybe the woodland we see today is completely different from what we see tomorrow, which is the same as the unlucky man said before";
As she spoke, the tiger girl pointed to the bald man on the other side of the fire who didn't know whether he was alive or dead.
"How did we get here?" , I continued;
"The black bull took us to drill a lot of waterholes, diving down again and again, and then resurfacing, but the last time we got here, we couldn't find the next exit," said the tiger girl, glancing disdainfully at the hook;
Listening to Hu Ya's words, my heart was a little depressed, whether it was the owner of the stone tablet, or the search for the traces of the lame and mute team, no matter how hard I tried, but after all, the clue was still broken......
