223. Separated by a door
I don't dare to go too deep, it's dark, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to go out. As the rustling sound came from all around, I knew I had made the wrong decision. Even if the old woman found out in Zhulinkou, at most she would arrest me back to the stone house, and I continued to fight with her, but at that time, my thoughts were blink of an eye, and freedom was within reach to ask me to return to the cage, and there were only three words in my heart: impossible. But then I understood why I hadn't been hunted for so long.
The sound is all too familiar, and I've experienced it more than once, when the snakes came.
After several attempts to identify the source of the sound, I tried to confirm the direction and ran, but finally I was sadly recognized by the fact that I seemed to have entered a snake cave. The rustle of snakes as they swim through the blades of grass comes from all directions. But no, I'm sure there's nothing abnormal after a pause, why is it that after only half an hour or so, the snakes have protruded, as if they are all coming towards me?
When I took a big stride in any direction, I vaguely knew that the problem was mine. The bamboo forest was pitch black, and there was silence all around, only my heavy footsteps and the rustling sound that followed me, and cold sweat was already pouring out of my back. These snakes were not in a hurry to surround me, but deliberately surrounded me, and they seemed to be driving me somewhere. When it suddenly became empty, the moonlight above my head illuminated the ground, and I stood there like a fossil.
Looking around, there are all kinds of surprises in my mind, why is this happening? Why did I enter the bamboo forest, but it seemed to ...... Back in the lonely forest. It's also such a clearing, and there are countless snakes, and that deep dark position, I fixed my gaze, my heart beat violently, and there was really a figure lying there!
Walking to the front with trembling steps, I slowly bent over and stretched out my hand as if in slow motion, my fingertips bent when I touched, gritted my teeth, and forcefully lifted the person to reveal the front, is it really Gao Cheng?! I couldn't believe my eyes. How could the scenario be repeated? He was obviously rescued by Xu Jiu and them, how could he be here? Just as he was about to get closer, suddenly there was nothing in his hand, and Gao Cheng turned into a bubble, which dissipated little by little, like a dream that the island had had.
I closed my eyes, my heart aching, and I knew that this was not real, but an illusory image. The sudden terrible howl pierced the eardrum, and the whole body trembled and regained consciousness, and when he opened his eyes, it was pitch black and he didn't know where he was. It was only after a moment that I realized that I hadn't escaped at all, and that I was still in the stone house.
There was a disconnect in consciousness, my head was groggy, and I couldn't figure out how I got back to this stone house. Where did I get into Unreal Image? Walk to the door of Zhou's old house? Or is there no such thing as Zhou Lao listening to my story at all, it's all just a scene imagined by my mind?
When the long whistling hit my eardrums again, I was completely awake, and I jumped up and rushed to the door, which was locked. And I was so flustered that my whole body couldn't stop shaking, I had heard this howling so many times that countless "impossible" screams in my heart, but I still couldn't get rid of the deepest fear.
The door wouldn't open, and I tried to hit it with my body, but it was all in vain. There was already a commotion outside the house, as well as ...... The sound of the whistling getting closer. A pair of footsteps stood outside my door, and Zhou Lao's voice seemed to be whispering but enough for me to hear penetrated through the door panel: "It's finally here." ”
It was like a bolt of lightning that went straight down and my mind went blank.
It's really a high city! Finally, here's it...... I had a complete epiphany, Zhou Lao asked the old woman to make a deal with me to capture me, it was not for those false people at all, he didn't plan to let Gao Cheng go at all. Because as long as I am here, no matter how far Gao Cheng runs, he will run back by himself, because I have his breath in me.
The powder that the old woman sprinkled at the end was like planting an introduction on me, and no matter whether Gao Cheng was awake or lost, he would return here with this introduction. I couldn't see, I could only hear the sounds of fighting outside, and what scared me the most was the increasingly terrible howling. I couldn't help but bang on the door anymore and shouted angrily, "Open the door, let me out." ”
But no one answered me, my hands were numb to the beating, the fight continued, the whistling was sharp, and the eardrums were tingling one after another.
The mood collapsed in an instant, his forehead rested on the door panel, tears slipped down his eyes, all kinds of sadness rose from his heart, and he asked in his heart: Gao Cheng, why did you come back? Why don't you be as ruthless to me as you were at the beginning, turn around and walk away?
I used to think that on the isolated island, he walked the distance of turning, but he was away from me in an ocean, and I didn't know you when we met strangers. I never thought that the parting at that time was far less painful than this moment, and it hurt like a thousand arrows piercing my heart.
Gao Cheng, I will no longer be angry and parting with you, even if I can't ask for it when I leave, as long as you and I are still alive. Let's go, you're leaving! You have the ability to escape into my thinking space, you will definitely be able to hear the space I created at this moment, I told you to leave, don't come back! Did you hear that? High City!
However, the Rakshasa was like a gloomy voice from hell piercing into the eardrums one by one: "Chu Gaocheng, let you taste what life is better than death." ”
I felt that the qi and blood in my body were surging, my throat was itchy, and a bloody arrow spit out from one mouth. I couldn't see, but I could hear, the terrible whistling weakened, accompanied by an intermittent thud until a heavy object fell to the ground with a thud. Zhou Lao smiled lightly outside the door, with a hint of excitement in his voice: "Send him to my house." ”
Rakshasa reprimanded gloomily: "Don't lose people again this time. ”
The old woman sneered and retorted: "Who said that the iron cage was solid before, and who was locked up in it?" ”
"You ......" As soon as the Rakshasa was angry, he heard Zhou Lao stop: "Okay, do it as soon as possible." ”
Just as my heart sank to the bottom, a long roar suddenly came out of the air, several times longer and louder than the previous one from Gao Cheng, and one after another. There was a commotion outside the door again, and someone whispered, "What's that?" "I don't know, it looks like an eagle!" "How can there be a sculpture here?"
There was a sudden grunt, and something hit the door panel in front of me, followed by someone shouting: "Old Zhou, what's wrong with you?" As soon as my heart lake was stirring, I heard an exclamation come from again: "Oh no, that thing is down, shoot quickly." ”
I don't know what their guns are loaded with, and every time they pull the trigger, they hear a muffled sound, not like they have a silencer. Just when I was anxious, the angry shouts of the rakshasa came: "Don't want to take people! ”
But I heard a low, slightly familiar voice: "I don't know what I can do." ”
I couldn't see what was going on outside, but I could feel the mood on the pitch change, as if something had turned things around. The old woman hurriedly said outside: "Old Zhou, hurry up and stop him with your ability, no matter how slow it is, Chu Gaocheng will be taken away." ”
After these words reached my ears, I couldn't hold back anymore, and patted the door panel and asked loudly, "Ah Yue, what happened?" As soon as I asked if the door was locked, there was a knock, and the Rakshasa asked on the other side, "What are you doing?" The old woman replied, "Take her out as a hostage." ”
No matter what the old woman's purpose is, I desperately want to be able to get out of this door and see the actual situation outside. When the door lock hit the ground, he went to pull the door without thinking, but only opened a crack and was heavily brought by the outside, and Rakshasa shouted angrily: "Don't touch her, I said it." "I can't pull it anymore.
At this time, a deep and distant voice came again, but said, "Zhou Jing, don't come unharmed." ”
"You...... You ......" Zhou Lao only said one word in a trembling voice, feeling like endless fear.
It was already certain that there was a person outside, and this person knew Zhou Lao, knew his name, and made him so frightened that he suddenly collapsed to the ground. This is my judgment based on what I hear with my ears alone.
The man said: "I didn't think that you hid here from the ancient town, no wonder I can't find you." We still seem to have an account to be reckoned with. "Old Zhou, it should be said that Zhou Jing sighed after hearing this: "Ah Bing didn't come back, I knew that there would be such a day, and no matter what, the cycle of cause and effect will be paid back after all." ”
A cold smile, cold and cold: "I want this person." Then the whistling sounded again, and there seemed to be a fluttering of wings, and the rakshasa shouted angrily: "Don't go!" He left the door, and the moment I opened the door and leaned out, I saw a huge bird fluttering up in the dark night sky, and the whistling sound came from there, and it was suspected that there was a person sitting on it.
Looking around, there was no trace of Gao Cheng, and then I looked up and saw that the giant bird had already flown away. Seeing Rakshasa raise his hand, my heart trembled as my eyes crossed, it was a gun! Without even thinking about it, I flew and pounced, and I slammed him in the back, knocking the man out, and the gun came out of my hand and fell far away.
The rakshasa quickly flipped me away from my body, and swept my eyes viciously, but the corners of my mouth curled. Without looking up, the giant bird had already flown out of the sky and headed behind the stone house. Rakshasa led someone to chase after me, and I rolled up from the ground and looked back, only to see Zhou Jing staring at the dark night sky with empty eyes.
The old woman's eyes were about to come to me, and I glared at Zhou Jingshiwu, and she was stunned. What she wanted was her momentary hesitation, turning around and running. Surrounded by stone houses, when I saw a real bamboo forest, I was inevitably frightened. But at this time, I didn't have a choice, whether it was a dream or a painting.
It is almost certain that Takashiro has been taken away by the men riding on the giant bird, and the Rakshasa has led the men into the bamboo forest to search for him. I was afraid that the Rakshasa would meet on a narrow road when he returned, so even though a road had already been crushed, I still ran some distance before entering the bamboo forest. I don't know how much the psychological hints to the old woman can play before, whether she will take advantage of this chaos to take the opportunity to destroy Qiu Yuebai and Zhou Jing's conspiracy, at least she has hesitation and determination. <
