Chapter 54: The Undercurrent is surging
Chapter 54 Undercurrents are surging
They say that life is a dream, and dreams are dreams inside and outside dreams, so many times, many things, even you can't tell whether they are true or false, whether they are awake or dream......
When Lao Liu and I came out of the dark tunnel, it was already the second half of the night, the rain, I don't know when it had stopped, and the night in late summer and early autumn was a little cool. The moonlight in the fog is very hazy, shining on the face of the same hazy old Liu, the years have quietly smoothed the edges and corners of his face, and a few gray hairs are extraordinarily conspicuous.
"Where have you been?"
That's right, the footsteps are Lao Liu's, and fortunately he came in time, otherwise I would have been lying in the dark passage with the shopkeeper at this time, not only the two of the shopkeepers died in the dark passage, but also a child of more than ten years old......
Lao Liu took out a cigarette gun, filled a roll of tobacco and was about to ignite the fire, after thinking about it, he still swallowed his saliva, put away the smoking set, looked around, his bright eyes were full of vigilance, at this time, he was like a falcon!
"Soon after you went to get the flashlight, I heard a movement under the dark passage, so I hid at the corner of the corridor, ready to come to him to wait for the rabbit, and after a while, sure enough, a person came out from below, the man was wet, covered with mud, and crawled up from the dark passage with a corpse smell. I rushed forward to block him at once, the man was also startled, a bow, lifeless rush out, I didn't expect him to react like this, caught off guard by him hit the side, the man spread the girl and drilled into the dense forest, I saw that something was wrong, so I chased him, chased for two or three miles, and finally caught him. ”
"Who is he?" I asked hurriedly.
"The shopkeeper's son!"
Lao Liu's answer surprised me, and I blurted out, "What happened to the half-old child's corpse?" ”
Lao Liu shook his head and said I don't know, either what the kid said was true, his parents were killed by that group of rats, and he escaped by hiding in the dark passage, or he lied to us, then, he had another purpose in entering this dark passage. But what is already certain is that the owner is long dead.
"The store that received us ......"
"The gobice guys."
"That'...... Shall we go in tonight? "I broke out in a cold sweat again.
"If you don't go in, let's just spend it until dawn? Let's make do with it for the night, so that the wind and rain don't blow, and leave one person to keep vigil, hoping that the movement just now didn't attract the attention of the group of ground rats. After speaking, Lao Liu walked straight to the hotel.
After this incident, I couldn't sleep, the three corpses in the dark passage lingered in my mind for a long time, and they would appear in front of me as soon as I closed my eyes.
Lao Liu insisted on keeping vigil, I couldn't resist him, in fact, I was still sleepy and couldn't stay up, but I couldn't sleep when I lay on the bed, I always saw the dark tunnel, the muddy and filthy water, the hanging half-** corpse, and the two corpses soaked in the water, looking at the darkness outside through the gap in the curtains, I felt that the outside was actually not so dark, sometimes, people's hearts, even darker.
I don't know how long it took, I had some fever on my body, and in a daze, I was tapped on the shoulder, and I squinted, it was Lao Liu. Lao Liu made a silent gesture to me, and then put his hand on my forehead, which was hot.
Lao Liu frowned: "Someone is blocking outside, let's hurry up, I'm afraid that the group of ground rats will make a move." ”
I also stood up and followed Lao Liu to the window, feeling weak all over, my bones were sore, my brain was groggy, and my legs seemed to be filled with lead.
"Okay?" Lao Liu opened the window in the dark and looked down, and then looked at me worriedly.
"Hmm." I nodded.
Lao Liu jumped down, bent on his waist, and at the moment he landed, a donkey rolled around, unloading most of his strength, and then, with a slap on the ground, a carp stood up and stretched out his hands to pick me up.
The cold wind blew, my back was wet and cold, my brain was a lot clearer, and I immediately thought of the figure who jumped from here, I asked Lao Liu, and he was also very puzzled.
In life, there is always an inexplicable trajectory, and now we seem to be on the old path of that strange figure. I shook my head, erased these thoughts, looked at Lao Liu below, gritted my teeth and jumped down. I wasn't as easy as Lao Liu, I fell straight down, Lao Liu reached out to catch me, but I didn't expect him to snort, and I was actually rolled on the ground by me.
"Why are you so heavy!" Lao Liu's brows tightened, and they were about to twist into a pimple.
"I ......"
"Boss, they ran away! Below! Before I could finish speaking, I saw the light in the room where we were staying suddenly turn on, and then, in a noise, a bearded man leaned on the window and pointed at us.
Lao Liu didn't have time to say anything, picked up our backpacks, pulled me and ran into the old forest, and the ground mice behind him didn't eat dry food, and three or five jumped down in a blink of an eye.
I had a fever, and I was dragged by Lao Liu, and I drilled all the way to the dense forest in the direction of Peishi Village, and the forest was deep, so it was not easy for them to catch up.
Lao Liu's skills are actually good, and he can still shake off the ground mice behind him with two backpacks, but with a high fever on me, I am a little powerless, and I spin on my legs, feeling that my body is heavier than ever. But even heavier is my heart.
Seeing the flashlight behind me hitting us directly, I felt bitter in my heart: "Lao Liu, you hide me, they won't find out, you go first, I'll wait for them to retreat and come to you." ”
Lao Liu took a few breaths: "I said that you kid, you are all at this juncture, and you are still pulling calves with me, by the way, take out your Lu Ban ruler and insert it in your back, hurry up!" ”
I didn't know why, but I still stretched out my weak hand and groped for my backpack, and after touching it for a while, I finally touched a long strip-shaped object, and when I took it out, I couldn't help but feel dizzy.
"You kid, are you deliberate, why are you rummaging through my bag, and still taking my cigarette gun, what's the matter, the smoking addiction has come a whole two?" Lao Liu was not happy.
With black lines on my face, I shoved my cigarette gun back, and at this moment, the ground rats behind me got closer and closer to us, and they shouted unbridledly: "Run, I'll see where you three can run!" ”
As soon as I heard this, Lao Liu's face turned white, and I just came back to the taste, and my scalp was also fried, three! But Lao Liu and I are obviously only two people!
This is the reason why I suddenly understood why Lao Liu asked me to insert Lu Ban ruler in my back, I'm afraid it's behind my back...... Lying on your stomach is alone! A ghost, to be exact! Ghost press!
The distance between the mouse behind me and us continued to pull in, I used all my strength to feel out the Lu Ban ruler, and inserted it into the back, and my body suddenly became a lot lighter, as if I had picked up a person on my back before, and now the person is gone, my brain is not so dizzy, and the fatigue and sourness on my body are gradually disappearing. But he didn't dare to slack off, he kicked his two legs into the dense forest, and the bright knife behind him shook people's hearts.
After about ten minutes of escape, the front of the steep terrain is steep, there is no way, in front of a layer of cliffs, below the clouds and mist, in the night, more like a wild beast wide open huge mouth, unfathomable!
One of the ground rats saw that we had no way, so he slowed down his pace and approached us playfully: "Run, why don't you run, aren't you quite able to run, by the way, what about the woman on your kid's back?" Threw her away for her life? So you're not a good thing. ”
After saying that, everyone burst into laughter, and the laughter sent chills down my heart.
"Boss, that'...... The ......" a minion seemed to see something, looking at their heads, and the way their clothes were speechless.
"If you have something to say, let it go, don't grind and chirp like a!" The head turned white at the man. That's when I found out that it was a fake store.
"Just ...... The woman on the kid's back...... It seems like...... It seems to be the woman...... Lady shopkeeper ......"
As soon as the words came out, everyone's hearts were a little hairy, and the surroundings suddenly became silent, only the whining wind echoed in the valley, and the atmosphere suddenly froze a little.
"What nonsense, I think you drank too much, or you didn't wake up!" The headband said loudly.
"Yes...... A few of us saw it, too, and the ...... That's really a female shopkeeper......" A few people behind the fake shopkeeper said resignedly, withdrawing from the others, they are probably the ones who killed the shopkeeper's family!
Everyone's faces turned white, and the voice of the head was raised an octave: "What are you afraid of, we have wiped our necks when you are alive, and you are afraid of what she will do when you die, but the female shopkeeper has a bit of posture, it is delicious enough, Lao Tzu has not tasted the taste of a female ghost, you have to serve the master alive, and you have to serve the master when you die, you are very afraid!" ”
After speaking, he set his eyes on me and Lao Liu: "Catch them first, the southern faction is a must, I don't believe that I can't take out the treasure!" ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes changed, from fear to greed, and one by one the eyes with green light stared at us, and they all wanted to figure it out!
A group of people rushed towards us with bright knives, saying that it was too late and that it was fast, Lao Liu grabbed me and rolled towards the bushes on the side of the cliff, it turned out that there was a logging slide under the bushes!
The so-called logging slide is that the people in the mountains go into the mountain to cut down the trees, put the big trees down and dry them, wait for the water to evaporate, open up a line after the weight is reduced, and slide the wood down the slope, which saves time and effort, and over time, this smooth groove slide is formed.
Just as we landed on the chute, there was a noise on the cliff behind us, and it seemed that another group of people had come to fight with the group of ground rats, and at the same time, I faintly heard two familiar voices......
