Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Hook That Rises from the Dead
A warm breeze swept through the treetops, and the canopy of the trees fluttered lightly in the wind for a few times before it stopped swinging, and at that moment my nerves were already tensed to the extreme, for fear that the damn click would sound again, you know, just a few hours ago, some ghost mechanism in the canopy of this tree had just killed the hook!
"How did you find that man? And also... What are you doing running to this ghost tree? I bowed down in the tree and whispered to the bald man and the black bull beside me;
"You ask the dwarf!" , The black bull replied angrily, this time he didn't stutter, the blood on his face flowed down his black face, although it didn't reach the level of a spring, but it looked shocking enough;
"Lao Tzu killed you!" , the bald man's voice was very hoarse, and the hand that was rubbing his neck was about to pounce on the black bull, and I dragged him down;
"It's all so honest, I want to die and die, this is not the place to find short-sightedness!" , I stared at the bald man's still purple and blue face, and said in my heart: Huya didn't take you as a dish at all, why should you bother!
But I can't say this, for a bald man is too hurtful;
"Could this person be the one we've been looking for here?" , I asked the bald man in a low voice and changed the subject;
He only cared about kneading and patting his limbs, and said thoughtlessly: "Don't ask Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will breathe!" ”;
"Why can't you be honest? Do you understand how to scare the snake? I grinned and whispered a rebuke to the bald man, who did stop beating at the right time;
"Surprise the snake? What do you mean? The bald man seemed to have regained some of his energy, and the topic was finally back on track;
"It's just that the voice will attract the little cub who is covered in strips of cloth, and she will let the bird bite you, understand? Be quiet! I'm a little impatient;
"Body.. Cloth.. Fish balls? The black bull interjected inappropriately;
"Let's stay away from Lao Tzu, I'm too lazy to talk to you";
But as soon as the words came out, the black bull's pair of big paws full of blood immediately pressed on my head, with great strength, obviously a kind of feedback to me just scolded the street, at this moment I remembered that this black master is never my person, he only belongs to the tiger girl;
The bald man squinted his eyes and leaned down to look at the terrain around him, Xu was unwell, and the moment he just bent over, he suddenly sat up straight again, covered his mouth with his hand that was also full of blood, and coughed twice, fortunately he reacted quickly, the sound was not loud, and looked at the opposite side through the gap, obviously the sound did not disturb the other party, the person was still hiding in the dense leaves, looking around from time to time;
"You... Why don't you guys... Don't touch the past and scratch ... Arrest? The black bull shook his huge head and stammered in the local language mixed with the evil spirit language, I think it's right, plus the four under the tree, Lao Tzu has seven people leaning here, why do you make yourself as nervous as a thief?
"It's difficult, you look down, this distance is twenty steps, in case there is a helper on the other side, we don't want to go back alive within twenty steps, have you forgotten that kind of stone man? Maybe they're hiding in the fog and the woods waiting for us! ", the bald man smacked his mouth and said;
I suddenly felt that something was wrong, and I glared at the bald man and asked, "Why are you already awake?" ”;
He also found that he had slipped his mouth: "Is it half asleep?" ”;
"Huya is right, you are a black sheep!" , I threw a sentence at him angrily;
He frowned, "What do you mean?" ”
"Lao Tzu praises you!" I looked at him with slanted eyes and whispered;
As I spoke, another breeze blew, and the mist was blown away by the wind, and although it was only a momentary fluctuation, I vaguely saw that something was wrong;
Struggling to recall the impression I had just taken in my eyes, to catch any slight difference, suddenly, I seemed to understand what kind of weirdness it was;
"My eyes are a little flowery, you can help me see if that person has a rattan wrapped under his feet?" , I hurriedly asked the two of them;
Seeing that the two of them looked dazed, I said again: "Look carefully, the ones wrapped around the feet and necks, behind the leaves";
The bald man narrowed his eyes, and the black bull gasped and ignored my stubble, still muttering to himself about going down the tree to catch people;
"It seems to be two rattans, but they are a little short, and the fog is too big to see clearly", the bald man looked at the old man carefully for a long time before he said in a low voice;
At this moment, as if God had heard the words of the bald man, a gust of wind suddenly blew again, and the mist was messy with the breeze, and it just exposed the gap where the man was, and it was clearer than before;
At the same time, the bald man and I unconsciously "ah", especially the bald man, accompanied by an exclamation, his two legs were actually stepped on the air, and a grunt almost fell to the trunk of the lower tree, just hung on the thick branch with his arm, at this time he couldn't care about any "silence", and shouted: "Pull me quickly!" ”;
While hurriedly tossing the bald man, on the other hand, his heart kept beating the drum: Damn, that rattan... It wasn't rattan at all, I could see it very clearly, it was two arms hanging in the air, and one of the hands actually grabbed the hook that had pierced the stone statue and half of the broken arrow!
Perhaps because of the tragic death of the hook, I remember the broken arrow that she still held in her hand before she jumped into the tree, and even at such a distance, I was absolutely sure that I could not be mistaken, and the frightened look of the bald man, it was evident that he had seen the broken arrow, and understood its owner;
"Damn!" , I scolded viciously at the treetops opposite, if I expected it to be right, the other side could not be said to be a person at all, but a corpse, a corpse that had been cut into several pieces by the mechanism a few hours ago and died in the dense forest, and was washed away by the current!
I held back a churning and colic in my heart, stabilized my mind and asked the bald man, "What do you think?" ”;
"It's the woman who died in the tree... I read that right, I'm looking at the hair, it's her! ", the bald man said one by one;
The bald man's words made the two of us fall into deep thought at the same time, and the black bull listened to it on the sidelines, but he could also hear that it was not far from ten, but he was simple-minded, and did not think about the reason behind it as much as I did.
In my mind, the hook is indeed dead, and it is completely dead, and the person in front of him is definitely just a corpse, never a living person!
So the reason why she's here is that there is only one person, remember that night a few days ago, that kind of white-fleshed worm imitated human speech?
It's a trap, like the sound of the white-fleshed bugs, a trap to lure those hook mates!
I told the bald man and the black bull about this speculation, and the latter apparently did not understand, while the former quickly understood what I was saying, and it was evident that a few days ago he had probably been caught by the sound of the white flesh worm;
But then again, everything on this island is so evil, and there are so many things that are beyond my knowledge that have been appearing for the past seven or eight years, and if the hook does come back from the dead, we will just walk away...... I can't bear it;
In the few seconds I hesitated, suddenly, a voice came from the thick fog not far ahead, and the voice was very miserable, like a seriously wounded girl protecting her eyes with a trill, this voice was not long, or very short, but the three people on the tree heard the sound, but all of them turned pale, and they were eager to flee from the tree at once, and the farther away from this forest was better;
Those voices were the same three words I heard a few days ago: "Help me ......."
