Chapter 13: Can't You Smell It?
In order to temporarily escape the danger we faced, Wen Na was in front, and I followed closely behind Xu Youyou, running one after the other, and I don't know how long we ran, the clothes and faces on our bodies had been cut many times by branches and stone teeth, until we fell to the ground due to physical exhaustion.
Xu Youyou and Wen Na kept crying, and the soles of my feet also hurt in my heart. Looking at their appearance, I was really overwhelmed. All this came too fast, so that we who were originally just high school graduates had no time to react, Xu Shuai and Zhang Peng were arrested, and I could only run with Wen Na and Xu Youyou, two girls, without a life, and I didn't have time to think about panic and fear, but when everything calmed down, the panic and fear that were temporarily suppressed came up.
Right now, I'm the only boy out of three, and even though I usually look like I'm in the world, the male hormones in my body remind me that I have to calm down and hold on! I looked up and forgot that my feet hurt......
We are in a very different position than before. Guiwangling is a hilly area, the mountains are high and low, some places are green and shaded, and some places are not grassy. The area where we camped before was flat and easy to spot, not only to enjoy the scenery. But the place where the three of us ran to was a strange rock, and the road was completely painted, and the leaves covered on the ground were not thick, because they had not been exposed to the sun all year round, and they had rotted and exuded a bad smell.
I swallowed and foamed at the mouth and involuntarily asked, "I, where is this?" ”
Hearing me ask, Wen Na and Xu Youyou, who were still crying a second ago, became vigilant while crying, looking around vigilantly, their eyes revealing fear of the unfamiliar environment.
Wen Na was probably frightened and muttered quietly, "Where are we?" ”
"I don't know where we are, but I'm 100 per cent sure it's not a familiar place for us." I sat on the ground and straightened my feet, looked at my palms that had been worn out from the fall, and felt the pain in my jaw from sweating. In order to appease Wen Na's emotions and shorten the distance between them, I planned to ask Wen Na to help me check the situation, but seeing her scared look still dispelled this idea, if she fainted again, it would be miserable. Turning his face to look at Xu Youyou, who was full of golden fried hair, he said to her, "How about helping me look at my chin?" ”
"Oh," Xu Youyou stopped crying and wiped her tears, looked at my chin, took out some tissues from her pocket to help me wipe them, I grinned in pain, and she was full of guilt: "Zhimo, I'm sorry just now, I didn't mean to." ”
"Forget it, it's not a big deal."
"If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be hurt."
Xu Youyou was afraid that he would hurt me, so he gently wiped it and blew it with his small mouth, I don't know if it was a psychological effect or if it really worked. Anyway, the burning pain in my jaw just now gradually lessened. After a while, I took off my shoes in pain, and I saw that they were full of blisters, and a few of them had broken and flowed water, and I couldn't stand up at all. I simply picked up a pine needle on the ground and tried to find water to wash it, but looking around there was no other source of water except for the dew dripping from some protruding stones. There is no choice but to come up with a self-deceptive method, use your shirt to wipe it as a needle, and pick up the blisters on your feet.
Originally, I didn't feel anything, but Wenna and Xu Youyou saw me picking up blisters, as if they were picking up blisters themselves, but they were more nervous than me. Finally, after they were shocked again and again, all the blisters were punctured, and they looked through their socks, which were worn out with several holes, and there were blood stains on them, so they threw them on a big rock, and tore off their vests to wrap a pair of feet, and then they breathed a sigh of relief and said the right thing: "I said, why are you two outside the tent of that group of people?" ”
Wen Na looked at Xu Youyou with red eyes, and when she saw Xu Youyou turn her head and ignore her, she sighed softly: "It's all my fault." If it weren't for my curiosity, it wouldn't be like this. ”
It turned out that Wen Na had doubts when she heard that the bearded man had a strong northwest accent and that there were no locals in the other party's team. How can a group traveling to a local area not have a local guide? If not, it can only mean that this group of people is definitely not here to travel, and furthermore, it is definitely not for good deeds. Wen Na is a girl with a great sense of justice, and since she was a child, she has pursued that she must stop the bad guys when she encounters them. After thinking that the person in front of him might not be a good person, he decided to secretly listen to the other party's movements, and if there was any danger, it was better to plan first. At first, she wanted to find the three of us boys, but we slept like dead pigs, so she went to find Xu Youyou, Xu Youyou himself is also the kind of person who does good things, and immediately made a decision after hearing Wen Na explain the reason. Unexpectedly, my arrival caused a disturbance, which eventually led to the next thing.
After listening to Wen Na's story, I also deeply blamed myself, but I felt that since this thing had happened, it was a fact that could not be changed. In that case, why do we have to live in blame, and why not find ways to solve the dilemmas we have faced and will face? Although Zhang Peng and I are friends, and Xu Shuai is a rival in love, in the final analysis, they are also classmates who have no big resentment, so Xu Shuai and Zhang Peng are in trouble, and I don't want to see it, but if it has happened, then you shouldn't hide in a corner and pretend to self-reflect, it will be useless; Instead, what should be done is for the three of them to unite and work together to find a way.
At that time, mobile phones were not as developed as they are now, and they were still in the era of Nokia Motorola, and their functions were limited to texting and making calls, and there was no GPS. The role is only to make calls and send text messages, and the price of mobile phones is not affordable for ordinary families, I also bought a second-hand Sony Ericsson T618 after I went to college. In the circumstances, we had no choice but to go back the way we came, find a new way out, or die on the spot.
Thinking of this, I lay on the ground and looked up at the sky, I always felt that the gloomy and foggy people were uncomfortable, especially the back that was scratched by Xu Youyou was still faintly painful, and suddenly I felt the amulet "Zhongkui" on my waist was still there, so I was relieved a little. This thing is a "talisman that must not be lost" that my grandmother told me thousands of times. Don't say I'm superstitious, this is the reaction of a normal person, and most of the people who have not been trained in the most helpless situation can rely on the gods and Buddhas. I was just a normal person at the time.
"Wen Na, what should I do?"
"I'm messy, don't ask me anything."
Among the three, Wen Na is the smartest, and her grades in both arts and sciences are at the top of her class. So, I asked her what she should do. Who knows that at this moment, she is unusually completely in fear and helplessness, if she is forced to think, I am really worried that she will collapse. I looked at Xu Youyou again, she was relatively calm, but she was like a balloon full of gas, without saying a word, her back to me and Wen Na. The current state of affairs is really not optimistic......
What to do?
What to do?
What to do?
……
I was in a hurry, I unconsciously put my finger in my mouth and began to bite my finger, biting and biting, as if I realized a problem - it didn't hurt! Suddenly I thought of the dream I had the night before, and it was because I didn't feel it because I bit my finger, so I realized that it was a dream! But we have just experienced the thrill, it is the moment of adrenaline rush, how can we sleep and dream?
"Wen Na, Xu Youyou!"
I sat up and called out their names suspiciously, my heart pounding, and I encouraged myself in my heart, "It's going to be fine!" No problem! No problem! ”。 But as a result, I felt my scalp tingle: Wen Na raised her head, and the face I was expecting was like a rhino, with a moth eyebrow, a clever smile, and beautiful eyes, but the face I saw was like ice cream melting in the summer, constantly dissolving and dripping on the ground, and after a moment she seemed to notice her change, and with her melting hands picked up the minced flesh that had fallen on the ground and pasted it on the exposed skull, but the only use of this was that I had already "grunted" and even vomited bile.
She seemed a little dissatisfied when she saw the change in my expression, and asked gloomily, "Zhimo, what's wrong with you?" Am I not pretty? ”
I'm going to blow my back out! "Eldest sister, are you embarrassed to ask?" Of course, this is the subtext, I can't possibly say it, hey and coping: "Good-looking, good-looking." But his body moved in the direction of Xu Youyou.
I quietly grabbed Xu Youyou's hand and whispered: "Xu Youyou, ready to run ......" Before I finished speaking, I felt that something was wrong, in my impression, Xu Youyou was by no means the kind of skinny person, her hand could make people feel reassuring to hold, but why was it like a gnawed chicken paw at this time? I looked down habitually and hurriedly let go of my hand!
This, this, this is manpower! Isn't this just white bones! Looking at Xu Youyou's face again, it didn't melt like Wen Na, but how did the body below the face become tattered? What's the matter with her peach-like heart and the wriggling intestines in her stomach!
"Zhimo, do you say I'm sinking?" Xu Youyou glared at me with those dead fish-like eyes, and the golden hair swayed in the wind like a withered straw.
Frightened, I kept backing and finally retreated under a pine tree. I looked at the finger that had just been bitten by myself, and knew in my heart that this was not a real situation, but I couldn't calm myself. Wen Na and Xu Youyou kept approaching, which made me even more flustered. All I could do was close my eyes and pray silently, "Godfather, godfather." If you are truly spiritual, save your godson. I'm going to be tossed to death! "This may be the legendary cramming.
"Zhimo, am I beautiful?"
"Zhimo, am I heavy?"
Wen Na held the minced flesh from her face with one hand, and reached out to me with the other; Xu Youyou stuffed the intestines that fell on the ground into his stomach, and walked towards me like a zombie in "Resident Evil". They have gone from two naturally beautiful beauties who are loved by everyone to two monsters with hateful faces!
Every time the two monsters got closer, my breathing became tighter and more chaotic. I know that everything in front of me is not real, but the fear it brings is enough to induce a normal person's heart to stop! "Godfather, godfather, if you are really spiritual, save me." The prayer in my heart could not withstand the pace of the two monsters, and in the blink of an eye, they were already in front of me! Forget it, die or die! I closed my eyes and prepared to meet my fate, even if I was unwilling, even if I felt that a better future was still waiting for me, but powerlessness is powerlessness......
There is a saying, how will it come? "The mountains and rivers are exhausted, and there is no way out, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village." Yes, that's it. I thought I was about to die in an unreal space, when a very familiar voice suddenly came to my ears: "Can't you smell it yet?" This voice was hollow and low, calm and majestic, it was the voice that reminded me in my dreams, like a heart booster pierced my heart, and the heart that almost stopped "fluttering" and beating, from slow to fast, and then from fast to intense, and finally it simply became a sixteen-cylinder engine roaring!
In the midst of the "roar", I barely managed to open my eyes, and my body seemed to be anesthetized and unable to move. Only then did I find that I was still lying on the ground, and I was relieved to see Wen Na and Xu Youyou lying not far away through the glasses, fortunately I was in the illusion just now, if Wen Na and Xu Youyou really became monsters, it would definitely be a regret in my life. I blinked hard, trying to make the blurry vision clear, and inadvertently saw a poisonous fly umbrella with dense red and white spots under the rotten leaves, this thing has only been seen in biology textbooks, it itself is very toxic, can make people hallucinate, is a natural anesthetic, but also has a very strong toxicity can easily cause casualties, in the sixties and seventies, people could not eat, and when they went up the mountain to dig wild vegetables, they often ate by mistake, basically nine deaths. Records show that on September 1, 2001, more than 1,000 people in Yongxiu County, Jiangxi Province, were poisoned by mistake, which can be called the largest poisonous mushroom poisoning incident after the founding of the People's Republic of China.
The three of us didn't eat this thing but became so embarrassed, probably because it was damp and sparsely populated here, and the poisonous fly umbrellas that bred were even more toxic, and the smell and some substances emitted by these poisonous fly umbrellas were mixed in the air and were sucked into our bodies, unconsciously affecting our nerves, fortunately we didn't eat it by mistake, otherwise the Daluo Immortals would have to go around us. I tried to open my mouth to make a sound, but I couldn't.
It seems that we can only make plans after relieving it naturally. I don't know what wrong things I did in my last life to make people angry, God wants to press me to the ground like this and rub it.
Just as I was glad that there was no other danger, I suddenly felt water droplets on my face, and at first I thought it was raining. Seeing that the sky was a little overcast, but there was no sign of rain, I thought it might be dew dripping from the stones. But strangely, how does the dew carry a fishy smell? It was like the saliva that I hadn't brushed my teeth for a year, and I felt that the suffering had not passed...... I tried to roll my eyes and look up. At that moment, I swore that I would never enter Guiwangling again in my life!
On the cliff above me there was a pine tree growing diagonally, the thickness of a child's arm. There was a large snake coiled over it, this big snake coiled on the tree like a small hill, covered with black scales, the head of the snake was like a normal bucket, and the letter in its mouth was red and dizzy. And the droplets on my face are actually the harazi that fell from the red letter!
"I'm X! Move! Move! Hurry up...... "I'm anxious but there's nothing I can do. Seeing the big black snake slowly walking downstream, the red letter is getting closer and closer to me!
"It's over! Mom and Dad thank you for your nurturing grace, and I will repay you in the next life...... "Just when I had given up on myself, there was heat in my waist, and I suddenly felt a warm current flowing in my already stiff body, and gradually my fingers could already move, but what was the use? The serpent had arrived in front of me, and I could smell the stench of the long, wriggling red letter more than the stinky socks that had not been washed under my bed for nearly a month! What else can I do if I don't close my eyes in a moment that scares me like this?
But at this moment, after the "swish" sound, I felt a cold trace on my face, as if something was splashed on it, which made me shiver uncontrollably, and some of it fell on my lips, a smell of blood......
Wait, how did something wriggle around me? My eyes opened a slit, and then my eyes grew old! It was nothing else wriggling on me - it was the great serpent!
At this moment, it was running back and forth on me without a head, and the blood in the snake's cavity was spilled all over my body! It scared me out "Ahhh Maybe it was because my cry was so loud that it alarmed the whole mountain forest, and I saw a group of crows flying overhead, and one of the crows also dropped two splashes of bird droppings, which smashed into my eyes impartially, and the pain was so painful that I jumped up and held the cliff to wash it with the dew on it, and it took about 10 minutes to feel the discomfort in my eyes lessen.
I don't care too much, this place is too dangerous and disgusting, the first task is to wake up Wen Na and Xu Youyou and leave, fortunately, the dew dripping on the cliff is not less, I tore off the sleeves of my school uniform that was still clean to catch the dew, and after a while, I felt almost over, so I went to Wen Na and Xu Youyou, twisted it hard, and let the water flow to their lips.
I still look at Venna's lips so closely, I can really describe it as "the lips are not moving, but the mouth is fragrant", and then I see that her closed eyes are so peaceful, like the Venus in Giorgione's painting. As water drops fell between her lips, my throat made a "grunt......
Seeing that she showed some signs of awakening, she twisted Xu Youyou's sleeves again, and water droplets also dripped on her lips. Hey, thinking back to the scene when she just cried, my heart also felt a sourness. I can't really feel the worry about my relatives, but I still hope that Xu Shuai and Zhang Peng are safe and sound. When the water in the sleeve of the school uniform was wrung out, Xu Youyou also woke up, I didn't ask them if they also had nightmares, mainly because I didn't want to think back to my dream, it was really disgusting.
Xu Youyou was startled when he looked at the blood stains on my body, and quickly turned me over to look at it, and found that there was no wound, so he asked me if I was injured somewhere? I hurriedly waved my hand and said no, I really didn't want Wen Na to misunderstand what I had to do with her.
I looked at Venna thoughtfully at first, and after a while seemed to notice my eyes. He turned to look at me, then smiled lightly and asked, "What just happened?" Her eyes sparkled with strange colors.
I thought the lenses were too dirty, so I took them off and wiped them with the rest of my sleeve and said, "There was a big snake just now." I nodded in the direction of the serpent.
"You killed it?" Venna frowned.
"No," I put on my glasses, making it much clearer, "I just passed out like you, and when I woke up, I saw a snake with a severed head, and the snake's blood was splashed on my face." "I didn't tell them about my dreams and the serpent, first of all, I really don't know how the serpent died. Secondly, the current state should not add unnecessary trouble, so I didn't go into detail after talking about it casually, but Wen Na said the conjecture that the three of us fainted, which was similar to my thoughts. Is this a piano and flute ensemble? I was thinking.
"Hey," Xu Youyou pouted, took my sleeve and got some water, walked up to Wen Na and said to her, "Wipe your face, it's not for you to be so dirty." ”
"Thank you." Wen Na said with a smile.
Xu Youyou didn't make a sound, but tore off his sleeves and ran to the dew, and also saved some water and returned to me: "Zhimo, you can also wipe your face." With that, he handed his sleeve to me.
I looked at Xu Youyou's white and tender arm and frowned: "It's all branches here, you're not afraid of scratches!" ”
"What so much nonsense, hurry up!" She said angrily, throwing her sleeve directly on my face, and the lenses that I had managed to wipe clean were stained by her again. I just thought about the theory, but as soon as I thought about it, it was for my good, I first put my sleeve to my lips, and the blood of the snake just now splashed in my mouth, and I was a little nauseous and uncomfortable and wanted to rinse my mouth, but the water was too little, and it was a drop in the bucket to finally suck out a little.
In order to prevent the toxins in the air from stunting us again, the three of them decided to get out of this ghost place first, and then said, the safest and most convenient thing at the moment is to return the same way, I gave Xu Youyou's sleeve back to her, and she pulled back with one hand and her cheeks bulging like a goldfish. But I didn't care, what could be compared to life? I tore the sleeves of my clothes in two, one for Wen Na and one for myself. The three of them were dipped in water, covered their mouths and noses to play the role of simple filtration, and began to follow the traces we stepped on in the opposite direction.
Walking and walking, Wen Na exclaimed, "Not good! Her face turned very ugly......
