Chapter 135: The Terrible Roots (Part II)
It's Shen Ke! After the door creaked open, he quickly walked in without a snort. For more exciting visits, please visit
I frowned, there's a problem, there's definitely a problem, what's wrong with this guy? Since he finished telling the story of Shen Yu's nymphomaniac, he has become weird, and his personality has become strange to me, and I can't even be sure that the person I can touch with my tentacles is still not the original him.
Shen Xue also vaguely felt that something was wrong, and asked, "What's wrong with that guy?" ”
"Don't worry so much, follow him first." I quietly took her small, slender hand and walked into the room.
The entrance is a small room, the furnishings are very simple, a group of tables and chairs plus a few paintings of flowers and birds, it seems that it should be the living room.
But the furnishings were all covered in dust, and some of the chairs were beginning to decay, apparently no one had used them for more than a hundred years, and no one had even come in.
The floor of the room was uneven, and some of the stone slabs were warped, and when I knocked them with my hands, they were so hard that it seemed that something underneath had filled all the gaps, and I took out my knife and pried up one of its stone slabs, revealing a mass of roots.
"What a living tree!" Shen Xue shuddered as she said, "But why does it look so weird?" ”
"It should be the roots of those two silver cinnamon trees outside." I judged.
"I didn't expect you to be so knowledgeable that you could tell what kind of tree it was from the roots! Admire! She looked incredulous.
"I don't have that kind of ability, just simple reasoning, you must know that the roots of the flower can't reach so far, so it can only be a tree, and when it comes to trees, there are only those two silver cinnamon trees nearby."
I moved my arm that was clutched to her chest and accidentally touched two soft objects.
Shen Xue's face suddenly turned red, of course I am not Yanagi Hui can sit still, and seeing a very sunny girl, she actually has a shy side, I can't help but feel very funny, and my arms are also restless and take advantage of the fire to rob and move.
Shen Xue's cheeks became redder and redder, and even her bare arms showed a beautiful pink. She hesitated to let go of my arm, but was afraid. I had to bite my lip lightly, and lowered my head to let me be thin, but I didn't know what deep questions I was thinking.
"Hey, is this also a tree root?" As I snickered, she grabbed my arm and kicked me with her foot.
I looked closely, and I couldn't laugh anymore.
The roots of this white-colored plant are obviously not tree roots, and they are not strange to themselves, they are the roots of herbaceous plants, to be precise, Ranunculaceae or Peonyaceae.
"I take back what I just said." I wasn't in the mood to laugh anymore, and said in a deep voice, "It seems that this is the root of the plant bulb, I don't know if it's a peony or a peony, I didn't expect it to grow so long...... Isn't there enough nourishment in the yard for them to absorb? ”
There is only one reason why plants desperately elongate their roots, which is to absorb enough water and nutrients, but obviously the soil in the yard is very fertile, but why do their roots grow here?
There is another point that I dare not say, that is the ranunculaceae and peony plants with bulbous roots, no matter how long they are, their roots cannot grow more than three meters, let alone this living room that is tens of meters away from the flower bed.
There was another room to the right of the living room, and Shen Ke had already opened the door and walked in while we were surveying the floor.
I thought about it for a long time and couldn't explain the problem in front of me, so I finally scratched my head and walked over.
As soon as I entered the room, I was stunned, Shen Xue only glanced at it, and she was also trembling all over, her face was full of horror, and finally she quickly turned around and vomited wildly.
Red! The blood-red color wrapped around her body like a liquid, and they were as tough as ropes, and she couldn't move, not even flick her fingers slightly.
There was a woman who could vaguely see a woman with a graceful figure, standing outside the red mist, but no matter how she blinked, she couldn't see the woman's appearance clearly, but she could feel that she was talking, and kept saying something to herself, but her words were like hers, blurred.
The woman seemed annoyed, and she plunged her hand into the red mist and gently stroked her face. The woman's hands were cold, without a hint of warmth.
For some reason, she felt scared, and her heart beat faster and faster with the woman's fingers, and finally, her fingertips slid gently to her neck, her fingers slowly circled around her neck, and then she grabbed her shoulder.
Suddenly, the woman began to grin, and although she still couldn't see her clearly, she could clearly feel that she was smiling, and she was smiling very proudly. The grinning mouth was full of sharp teeth, and the woman pierced her mouth into the red mist, drawing closer to her neck.
The closer you get, the closer.
She felt her heart no longer hold her fear, and she almost jumped out of her chest.
Then, Xu Lu woke up from the nightmare screaming.
She continued to scream frantically, and her brain was in turmoil, and it took a long time for her to fully come to her senses.
Xu Lu opened her eyes and wanted to look around, but found that there was no light around, she couldn't see anything, only felt that she was sleeping on a hard and damp ground.
What's wrong with you? Where the hell is this?
Xu Lu thought hard, although she was very scared, even afraid that she wanted to faint, but the reality cruelly told her that fear did not help her in the current situation, not to mention that there was a vague concept in her heart, it seemed that someone was constantly reminding herself not to sleep again, as long as she lay down again, she would never get up again!
Xu Lu took a deep breath, and when she struggled to stand up, she found that something was entangled with her, and touched it with her hand, it seemed to be some tree roots, she pulled it away with all her strength, and just raised her foot, there was a metal crisp sound beside her, as if she had kicked something.
Xu Lu lay on the ground and groped for it, and finally picked up a large pair of pliers from the ground.
The handle of that plier is still a little warm, is it body temperature? Is there anyone else here?
Xu Lu's desperate heart suddenly stirred up a glimmer of hope, and she shouted, "Is there anyone? Who else is here? Even if she can't escape, as long as she doesn't stay alone in such a ghost place, she will feel much more at ease.
But the reality cruelly disappointed her, no matter how much Xu Lu screamed, there was not a single sound to respond to her, only echoes continued to echo in this huge space where I don't know where to go.
Xu Lu was almost crazy, she sat down on the ground in a dejected manner, leaning her back against the wall and crying softly.
I don't know how long it took, and when my tears were almost dry, I suddenly heard a slight voice above my head, which seemed to be mixed with a burst of vomiting.
Xu Lu no longer cared about the image of a lady, she forced her dry throat to let out a high-frequency cry for help, and the tears that were already dry in her eyes couldn't help but flow out, for the first time, she felt that she wanted to survive so strongly......
Shen Xue kept vomiting, not only vomiting everything from lunch, but even vomiting out gastric juice.
I looked straight at the scene in front of me with a shocked face, and muttered, "Emperor, what the hell is going on?" ”
I saw a corpse lying on the bed not far away. No! It wasn't a corpse anymore, because all it had left was a pile of skeletons and a few hairs, and it was covered in dust.
But this is definitely not what surprised me, corpses, skeletons and other things, I was used to seeing them and numb, but now they are enough to make me creepy.
Countless roots of grass and trees came out from under the floor, and those roots shuttled into every bone, and they tethered the corpse tightly as if it were part of them.
Shen Ke also came back to his senses from a daze, and he knocked his head.
"It hurts! It doesn't seem to be a dream! He clutched his head and cried.
Seeing him look like an idiot, I was immediately relieved, and it seemed that his mental state had returned to normal.
"What happened to you?" I asked tentatively.
"I just now? I didn't think much of it, I walked into this hellish place with you, and when I opened the door, I saw this disgusting picture. Vomit! Dead Xiaoxue, I want to vomit! Shen Ke seemed to have completely forgotten his strange behavior just now, and also forgot that he himself forcibly asked to return to the courtyard.
I took a deep look at him, and saw that his eyes were clear and he looked unflattened, so I nodded and said, "It's okay, let's study this skeleton carefully, I'm afraid there are some amazing insiders inside!" ”
I didn't stupidly mention what happened just now, and even tried to throw it behind me, this strange courtyard, originally weird, even if anything happens, not to mention, now is not the time to think about that problem.
I suppressed the disgust in my heart, and with strong interest, I looked at the skeleton in front of me over and over again, and finally took out a pair of knitted gloves from my backpack and put them on, and turned the skeleton with my hands.
I don't know how long this thing has been here, I don't know the cause of death, I don't know if it's poisonous, it's better to be careful.
Shen Xue was very kind to my behavior, "Night is silent, do you carry a lot of things everywhere?" I guess your backpack is worth Tinker Bell's other-dimensional pocket! ”
"Take care of it!" I glared back at her, then cut the roots with my knife and scrutinized the skeletal head.
"Don't care about that guy who doesn't say anything, he's so virtuous." Shen Ke patted Shen Xue on the shoulder, and said in a contrived tone of pity, "He is not a person from our world at all, look, which of us has a character that is not as simple as how simple, simple and honest, where is he like he looks loyal, lovely, and honest, but he is cunning and treacherous in his bones, and I don't know how many beauties he has been deceived in."
"Also, the most hateful thing is that his kind heart that is going to die, in order to satisfy his own good, that guy will do anything, and when he encounters something slightly strange, he will automatically lean towards it like a fly that smells. Xiaoxue, cousin, I solemnly suggest that you don't get too close to the guy who has been stabbed a thousand times! ”
"Did you say enough?" I stared at him angrily, and I saw that he was covered in goosebumps.
"It's cold, winter is coming, right?" Shen Ke sneered and whistled to dodge.
I turned my attention back to the pile of bones. Since it had been riddled with holes by something, I could not tell the cause of his death, but I could only tell that he was a man in his forties, and his skull had many small holes, and some of the roots had even been drilled into it.
It's a weird situation! The deceased, could it be Shen Yu?
Just as I was bewildering, I suddenly heard a faint cry from under my feet......
