Chapter 13: The Dark Shadow on the Ruins
For the rest of the time, Boss Taiyi, Zhao Zhifeng, and Ji Yun sandwiched me and Yu Qian in the middle, preventing others from getting close to me.
In this waist-deep flat land of weeds, it is divided into roughly two areas, one is the lower low-lying land, and the other is the higher highland, and the difference between this height and low span is nearly three meters high. When we crossed this gap, we all used ropes to climb.
In this process, I went up first, and I thought that after I went up, I could take a hand and pull the girl who came up behind.
However, Taiyi Boss, Zhao Zhifeng and Ji Yun kept a close eye on me, and they didn't let me touch them, which made me very depressed and idle.
It stands to reason that it is just a hilly and highland, so it is possible to be idle? It's usually going to climb up quickly. Forget about a few of us who have experience, Qiangzi and the village chief are originally from the mountains, and it is not a problem to climb trees, climb mountains or anything. However, Ji Yun and Ji Fu, the two sisters and brothers, are all Xiaobai, children who grew up in greenhouses, let alone climbing highlands, even climbing trees have never experienced it. These two goods climbed a three-meter-high hill, which made me, who came up first, sit on the ground in a daze.
Eventually, I got bored and walked around the neighborhood by myself, hoping to find something that wouldn't make me boring to stimulate my emotions.
I looked left and right to see that the area was not too small, but it was not as large as a low-lying area. Then standing on the edge of the high ground and looking down at the low-lying land, I couldn't help but feel like I was standing on the edge of my house and looking at a field in front of my house.
As soon as this thought came to me, I thought it was ridiculous. However, the more I stared at the ridges crisscrossing the low-lying area, the more I felt like the ridges of farmland. This feeling is more and more like when I was in my hometown in the countryside.
"Is that really the case? Isn't this area behind you a residential area? Are there any ruins? "The deeper I felt, the more I wanted to find out. After thinking about it like this, I didn't care about Ji Yun, who was still struggling on the slope, and simply got into the dense weeds behind me.
In this area, the thatch grows quite long, waist-deep is only the edge, and the further I go in, the deeper the grass becomes, and I can only show my head outside in the grass.
However, even after entering so deeply, I still found no ruins, which made me doubt my suspicions.
After searching for a while, I really didn't find anything, and I was ready to go back, after all, there was some distance from them, and it was too far away for safety considerations.
But the moment I turned around, a black shadow suddenly sprang out from beside me, as fast as lightning, and in an instant it disappeared from my eyes and fell into the grass.
Then, there was a rustling sound in the grass, and with the help of the starlight, I watched as the grass around me kept moving and drifting away.
All of a sudden, I was completely frightened, and I didn't catch my breath until the movement was far away.
"What's wrong with you? Why do you have such an expression? Just as I was breathing, Yu Qian suddenly appeared beside me. The sudden sound scared me so much that I almost collapsed on the ground.
"Your sister, can you make a sound when you walk? Is it okay to scare people to death if they are scary? I patted my chest, rolled my eyes, and couldn't help but complain.
"What guts? It's going to start, you're useless. Yu Qian glanced at me with a look of disgust.
"I'm useless, so why are you still pestering me? Hurry up and go as far as you want. "I'm not polite, I replied to her. Still, my eyes were still on the place where the shadow had disappeared. It wasn't big, I didn't know what it was, but it was so fast that I was a little worried.
"I will, you care about me? Hey, what the hell are you looking at? Is there anything over there? Yu Qian didn't care about my bad tone, but stood beside me, stood close to me, learned my posture, and looked in the direction I was looking at.
"A dark shadow flashed in front of my eyes and ran over there......" I told her.
"Dark shadows? What kind of beast or something, right? Maybe it's just a rabbit? Yu Qian stretched out to learn from me, frowned, and said a little unconcernedly.
"It's full of yin and ghosts. It doesn't feel comfortable for people to stay here, let alone beasts? ”
"It's not a beast, what is it? Don't tell me what the hell it is, monsters or anything like that. Yu Qian said.
"What do you mean by 'again'? We are dealing with a dark, ghostly environment, and the most easily born in this environment are unknown creatures and ghosts that can adapt to that environment? Maybe you'll encounter more strange species in the future. I was very dissatisfied with Yu Qian's words, and I couldn't help but say a lesson.
"If that's the case, tell me what the dark shadow you saw? Is it a monster? Or a ghost? ”
"How do I know? What I mean is for you not to take it lightly, not to underestimate the species that appear in this place...... "I know that this is Yu Qian raising the bar with me, but I am not disgusted, but I like to talk to her very much.
"What are you talking about? Did you find anything? "When Yu Qian and I were talking nonsense, Han Chang's figure also appeared near us.
As soon as she appeared, I couldn't help but look behind her to see if Zhao Zhifeng, who had been sticking to her since hours ago, had followed.
My demeanor instantly made Han Chang see through, and he couldn't help laughing: "Don't worry, he's not free, he's still there." Ji Fu hung on the halfway road, and wailed there. ”
"So? Then I can't ...... Hey! I smiled, stretched out my hands, and walked towards Han Chang. I originally wanted to scare her, but who knows, this thing is not afraid at all, but instead straightens up and meets her.
I'm embarrassed by this, I've already made a move, if I don't dare to get started, it's not a joke for myself? But it's time to make a move, so I'm sorry for Zhao Zhifeng.
Fortunately, Yu Qian made a move at this time, inserted a body technique into the middle between me and Han Chang, and stood in front of me with her chest straight. I was shocked because it was so close that I almost touched it.
It can be said that it was too late and that it was fast, and the black shadow that disappeared before suddenly jumped out of nowhere and jumped between me and Yu Qian.
Another flash, and my hand almost caught it. However, the fear of the unknown from the depths of my soul made me stunned and forcibly stopped the hand that I thought I couldn't contain.
Cold sweat flowed down my head, and I noticed that Yu Qian's lips on the other side were also a little pale, and she was also startled.
"That's ...... What the? After a long pause, we looked at each other for a while before Yu Qian asked.
"I don't know, it's too fast." I haven't even gotten out of the shock yet. The previous time, it was far away, and it was nothing if I didn't see clearly, but this time, it was so close that I almost touched it, but I couldn't see it clearly, and I had to be shocked.
Then, the two of us were silent again, and even Han Chang behind Yu Qian didn't dare to speak. Our little piece of the world suddenly became very quiet.
"Meow ......"
Suddenly, a low, eerie cat meow broke the silence!
The cat is cute, screaming and crisp, and the sound is cool. However, this cat meow made the three of us get goosebumps at the same time, and we were very uncomfortable.
"Whoosh!" After an eerie cat meow, another black shadow flew out from behind the grass and headed straight for Yu Qian's face.
Yu Qian and I were both startled, and I both stretched out our hands at the same time, ready to resist the black shadow. However, the black shadow suddenly reversed in the air, descended rapidly, and ran back into the grass.
I thought that thing would be scared and run away. But in less than three seconds, the black shadow jumped out again, and this time the target turned out to be Han Chang.
Han Chang screamed in fright, and Yu Qian, who was closest to her, shot out angrily and slapped the black shadow with a slap. At the same time, I also ran and sprinted towards Han Chang.
Yu Qian's speed was very fast, and she attacked from behind the black shadow, and the black shadow could be said to have no chance of escaping. However, just as Yu Qian was about to catch the black shadow, the village chief's voice suddenly shouted from a distance.
"Don't touch it!"
The voice was so eager that it even broke out of fright.
Yu Qian subconsciously paused, and this time, the black shadow dodged her hand, making her miss the best opportunity.
Fortunately, at this time, I also rushed to Han Chang's side and stretched out my hand to push her away. At this time, I couldn't take care of a lot, so I used a lot of force, and this push directly pushed Han Chang to the ground and fell into the grass.
The shadow flew into the air, and I could clearly hear an angry cat meow, still so eerie. It's still up close, and it makes my brain tingle.
"Han Chang! Are you okay? "When the black shadow cat disappeared into the grass, I hurriedly went to pull Han Chang, and Yu Qian also came back to help.
"I'm fine, thank you! But there are a lot of tiles under this grass, is this the ruins of that village? Han Chang didn't stand up under the grass, but made a surprised sound.
Hearing her say this, I couldn't help but crouch down in amazement.
Coincidentally, I searched for a long time, and all the places I looked for were empty. But right at my feet, this large pile of broken bricks and tiles was just there, and I didn't find it.
Han Chang lay on his side on a piece of rubble, looking at the fragments around him in surprise. I pulled her up and handed her to Yu Qian, and then crouched down to look at the remnants myself.
The tiles fired in the earthen kiln are thick and bubbles, and the color is also tinged with the yellow of the earth, which is made by a very rough process, which is in line with the techniques of the farmers in the mountain villages in the past.
The remnants are mostly coarse loess adobe bricks, with grain straw leaves and empty chaff, which are fired from the soil of the farmland, and are unsuccessful semi-finished red bricks. Of course, this is the current statement, in the past, adobe bricks were adobe bricks, and there was no such thing as a semi-finished product. Straw and empty chaff, which play the role of meridians, similar to the effect of broken threads, are used to increase the firmness of adobe bricks.
Before 08 years, my house was still an adobe house, and it was still 76 years ago, my father and his master and the old man personally burned bricks and built it with their own hands. However, in 08 years of snowstorm, the old house is too old, our family has lived in Guangxi for so long, there is no maintenance for it, lack of popularity, making it a little difficult to withstand the pressure of the years. Therefore, under the comprehensive integration of all aspects, it was finally pushed to the ground, and the red brick house was rebuilt on the original site.
Therefore, I am quite affectionate and familiar with this kind of tiles and adobe bricks made by farmers in the past. However, at the moment, these are obviously earlier than the kind that my father made home, and these are somewhat like my grandmother's old house. It is an antiquity with a long history.
