When the madman turned around and saw this, he drew a gourd and did the same, and finally climbed to the top without danger. Unexpectedly, there was a vast forest above, and the madman's eyes lit up, and he said with a strange smile: "Little box, the mountains and forests are my hometown, and this time it's up to me." You're all following me. β
But Gao Cheng pulled me past him without squinting, and didn't listen to his words at all. I knew that the madman intended to show off and wanted to behave in front of me, but then Gao Cheng and I walked on the left, but he walked behind the right, and saw Gao Cheng break a long branch to explore the way and snort with his nose, with a look of disdain. It is also able to jump up and down, and is very familiar with the forest. A few times I saw him swing past me with a branch, and then jumped again, and I wanted to shake my head, why is this person so naΓ―ve?
My eyes turned slightly, and I just saw the slight curvature of Gao Cheng's mouth, and I was stunned in my heart, before I could turn my thoughts, the madman on the right came to a "difficult" action and jumped to the ground. The moment he landed on the ground, the surface of the ground suddenly loosened, and a large piece of it sank down with a bang, and the madman rolled down like a seed. It was also thanks to his quick reaction, and the moment he fell, his hands firmly grasped the long grass, and he clung to the place where it did not collapse.
This accident was so sudden that I was stunned before I realized that I wanted to run to save the madman, but I was stopped by Gao Cheng. He said, "You wait where you are." With that, I strode towards the collapsed position of the madman, and I heard a snorting sound from nowhere, and I heard a little numb in my scalp. At one point I was so sensitive to the sound that I couldn't sleep all night, more than a year ago on an isolated island, with snakes chasing after me and Takajo. That's right, my first thought came to mind snakes.
With Gao Cheng's back to me, he quietly took two steps forward, closer to the place where the madman had collapsed. I also saw the ground under his feet hanging in the air, and gasped, there were all snakes underneath! They all craned their necks and puffed up half of their bodies, but strangely enough, they didn't swim up the walls of the pothole, they just spat letters.
Gao Cheng stood in front of the madman, condescending, and raised his tone lightly: "Look at you? "With boundless irony.
The madman's eyes widened on his dark face, and the meridians on his forehead bulged out, and he didn't know if it was because of embarrassment, or because he desperately grabbed the edge to prevent himself from falling. Finally, he was once again carried by Gao Cheng and thrown on the grass next to him, and a strange scene happened, as soon as the madman left the collapsed pit, the black snakes below began to climb up.
I hurriedly shouted, "Hurry up, the snake is coming." β
Unhurriedly, the madman took out another bag of things from his coat pocket and sprinkled it towards the edge of the pit, and the snakes retreated. I asked curiously, "What are you?" He didn't raise his head and replied, "Snake repellent powder." β
"How can you have so many strange things?"
He looked at me and said, "Is it strange?" It's all a must-have item for going out. β
I don't know what other people bring with them when they go out, but I'm sure they don't bring strange things like crazy people. Still, it works. Glancing at his pocket, he didn't know what else was inside.
After that, the madman learned to be obedient, and he didn't show off anything, and An An followed me and Gao Cheng separately, following our footprints. Occasionally I look back at his face, well, I can't call it a face, because he doesn't know what is brushed on his face, it's black and shiny. I can only say that the madman's mood seems to be a little low, and when I look back, he glances at me and droops his head.
In fact, he can't be blamed for the collapse of the stratum just now, I experienced a soft collapse of the shallows with Gao Cheng and Luo Jinghan before, and I knew that there were snakes under the ground that drilled holes into holes. It was a water area, so it was a soft depression, and although the water vapor was very heavy, the surface of the ground was hard, and it became brittle when the snakes drilled it.
After walking for about twenty minutes, the trees began to thin out, and through the trees, I saw a row of houses not far away, like a village. Soon when I arrived at Linkou, I saw that the houses were all made of stones, and they were boxy like boxes.
Inexplicably, the heartbeat suddenly accelerated. I classify it as the tension that comes from being able to actually get into the inner workings of this mysterious organization. There was a whole row of houses, but there were no people in sight, which added to the weirdness.
I subconsciously turned my head to look at the person next to me, only to see Gao Cheng squinting at the place, the red in his eyes had not faded. With such a solemn face, his breath was very cold, but his anger was gone.
His heart moved slightly, was he able to control the medicinal properties now? But why is my heart so anxious?
A black head suddenly popped out of the view, and the madman probed his brain next to him and didn't know what he was looking at. After a while, he patted his thigh and said, "Hey, why do I say it's so familiar." This stone house is exactly the same as the one in the ditch. β
I was slightly stunned, "What ditch?" β
"Black Bamboo Ditch."
Is it Heizhugou again? As soon as he thought about it, he heard the madman say: "It's not right, the stone house in the ditch is under the mountain, along the other end of the road up the mountain, then there is a mountain forest, then a large black skull flower, and then ......."
I pulled the corner of the madman's clothes and motioned to him not to recall, Gao Cheng had already left in front. Regardless of whether this place is similar to Heizhugou or not, since you have arrived here, you always have to go inward. I followed Gao Cheng in a few steps and asked in a low voice, "Aren't you afraid that someone is hiding in the house and not coming out?" Shouldn't we be doing some cover? β
He shook his head, "No, there's no one in there. β
"How can you be sure?"
He raised his hand and pointed to the sky in the distance, I didn't react at first, but when I looked closely, I noticed that there was smoke billowing from the sky not far behind the stone house, and I couldn't see it clearly because it was getting dark. What's going on? Did all the people who meant to appear run there? Still, I felt apprehensive when I followed Takajo to the stone house, but as I walked past the door of one room after another, I really didn't say anything.
As I walked to the last few rooms, I suddenly felt a loosening of the ground beneath my feet, and I jumped to the side with a little sensitivity. At the same time, both Gao Cheng and the madman took a step back towards the stone house, no longer as silent as before, a creepy voice came from underground. After a while, I realized that it was the sound of snakes swimming, not one, but countless ones!
Listening to that sound, my scalp was tingling, how many snake caves must have been shuttled under the surface? And every inch of land stepped on is not in danger of potential collapse?
While I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard footsteps, and my face changed. Gao Cheng reacted very quickly and pulled me back into the nearest shining stone house, but the madman was also nimble enough to slam in and close the door. Almost at the same time there was a murmur outside, again in the native language, but at last they passed by the door and did not push the door in.
When the footsteps were far away, I saw the madman turning his head and grinning with white teeth, and smiling from ear to ear. Gao Cheng looked at him with the eyes of an idiot, and he didn't care, so he ran to a suspicious window behind him, pulled out a stone, and almost got his head into it and looked out. I just saw that he waved to this side without looking back after a while: "Little box, come and see." β
I hesitated and walked over to him, but the stone was out of the way just in the way of his black head, and I couldn't see anything. He was excited: "See? This must have been done by Xiao Jiu and Xiao Liu, haha, history repeats itself three and a half years ago. β
I asked very sullenly: "Your head is all blocked, what should I see?" β
"Huh? Unseen? You wait. The madman craned his neck and tried to take his head out, but the size was just right, and he was stuck! I really can't laugh or cry, is there anyone more outrageous than him? Seeing that he couldn't retract his head with all his might, he had to ask, "Do you need help?" β
"Yes, yes, yes." The madman said repeatedly, "Little box, help me pull out a stone next to me." β
I pumped according to his words, but the angle at which he got into his head was also tricky, and I only pulled out a little bit of the stone and heard him shout: "No, no, no, my face is stuck." A slender hand stretched out behind him, and without hesitation, he quickly withdrew the stone, and with a muffled snort from the madman, his head finally retracted, but he covered his face with his hands and cried: "It's broken." β
But at this time, my attention was no longer on the madman, and the back wall from which two stones had been pulled out opened a hole about 30 centimeters long and about 15 centimeters high, which was clearly visible from the outside. And to my astonishment...... The blazing flame!
No wonder there was smoke rushing into the sky, it turned out that the rear was on fire. I don't know what was burning, and I didn't see any trees, so I couldn't tell a lot of them were full of fire. Many men and women in strange costumes were holding tools to extinguish the fire, but they were all in flames, and where could they be extinguished. What's even more shocking is that in the open space in front of the fire, countless snakes came out from under the surface of the earth, and they rushed into the fire like moths to a fire. Even from a distance, I could seem to hear the snake snorting.
It's a really weird scene!
Suddenly remembering the madman's previous words, I turned around and was about to ask, but I was stunned, "Gao Cheng, where is the madman?" "The person who was still humming just now will actually disappear out of thin air. Gao Cheng turned around and swept forward, to the place where the madman was standing just now, his toes knocked on the ground, making a gurgling sound, and the two looked at each other, hollow!
Gao Cheng crouched on the ground to search for possible mechanisms, but no one expected that we would casually enter a stone house, and there was a secret hidden inside. When the moment his feet sank, the uncontrollable body fell, no matter how fast Gao Cheng reacted, he only had time to pounce on me and try to pull me at the moment when I submerged the horizon, but it was only 0.1 seconds away, and his vision was quickly blocked, separating him from space. I could even hear him pounding the ground above, and suddenly I had a strong feeling: I've hit the ground! <
