Chapter 2 / Meet the Monster
Today is the weekend, so I don't have to go to school, I don't have to face boring classes, and I don't have good classmates.
Yin Shixue happily changed into a pleated skirt, and after breakfast, she went to the back of the house with Taotao to play.
Taotao is a German Shepherd, a fourteenth birthday gift from Yin Zhen, who had just been weaned at that time, and now she has grown very thick and fierce.
Taotao especially loves to play with Yin Shixue, and every time she wants to go out to play, she looks at her with black and shiny eyes, and her little tail keeps wagging her little tail.
Behind the house is a jungle, and behind the jungle is the Quinoa Mountain.
During the day, the Quinoa Mountain is very beautiful, and the trees are lush and lush, but even though it is close at hand, Yin Shixue has never gone up.
Because Yin Zhen often told her that there was a huge thousand-year-old python on it, which would eat people, especially those little girls with big eyes.
Yin Shixue walked along the jungle, picked wildflowers on the roadside, and picked up a round green pebble by the river.
also curiously pierced the ant cave mansion, and saw the little ants running around with milky white things, Yin Shixue felt particularly interesting, Taotao saw a group of ants on the ground, and also curiously stretched out his nose and sniffed.
The light gradually dimmed, and many colorful dragonflies flickered their wings in the bushes, giving a faint sheen, and all around them were the chirping of small insects, and the creaking sound of her stepping on the bushes.
Suddenly, a meter away from her, there was a "swish" sound, which startled Yin Shixue and Taotao.
Taotao screamed twice, staring intently at the source of the sound, and taking an offensive posture vigilantly, she also held her breath and saw a slender gray snake looming in the bushes.
Probably sensing that they had violated his territory, maybe this snake was poisonous, she decided to leave here, she was really afraid of snakes!
When she returned the way she came, she felt that she was lost, but she was very calm, curiosity and fear were always contradictory at this age, and it was also possible that Taotao was by her side to make her a little bolder.
But Taotao always barked behind him, obviously far away from the snake, but the more it screamed, the more fierce it became.
She was a little anxious, she wanted to urge Taotao to take her home quickly, but it just kept screaming, staring at the jungle in the distance, and frantically picking at the dirt with its front paws, acting frightened for a while, and looking hideous for a while.
It seems that I saw something terrible......
"Taotao." Yin Shixue shouted.
Taotao returned to normal, looked at Yin Shixue gently, rubbed her skirt with her head, and wagged her tail.
Yin Shixue breathed a sigh of relief and stroked its head.
But the moment she turned around, she clearly felt a black figure behind her, and before she had time to think too much, she turned around sharply, but she saw nothing, only some unknown insects dancing around the jungle.
Her chest was heaving violently, and she must have been dazzled.
She quickly turned around, but she saw the figure again.
Yes, it's a figure, black floating upside down in mid-air.
She was so frightened that she almost screamed, she quickly covered her mouth, her legs trembled in disobedience, and she had to leave this place of right and wrong immediately.
So she ran forward as fast as she could, letting the thorny bushes cut her calves, the blood staining the green grass red, and the fear made her lose her sense of pain......
I don't know how long I ran, but I remember that the uneven bushes made her fall many times, and her clothes and palms were full of mud, and the mud was still stained with her blood......
Finally, she saw the sun!
She didn't dare to look back, and walked forward more than a hundred meters to a clearing full of sunlight, and only then did she breathe a little.
Looking back, there was nothing.
It's just that the jungle in the distance seems even darker, and it is so dark that I can't see anything inside, and I can't imagine that she has just run out of it.
Yin Shixue realized a terrible thing at this time, behind this jungle was Quinoa Mountain, and she was at the foot of Quinoa Mountain just now.
The high quinoa mountain still stands majestically.
She took a deep breath, not daring to imagine what would happen if she kept going, maybe she would see that black guy so well that she might never see the sun tomorrow again......
The damp black mud on her hands had been dried by the hot sun, and the blood on the mud had also coagulated, and she realized that one of her shoes had been lost at some point, and her legs were full of hideous wounds, which hurt fiercely.
When she got home, her father saw her embarrassed at a glance, so he stopped what he was doing and went into the house to get the medicine box.
Her father never said anything about her, and since her mother died, she never blamed her once, no matter how big a mistake she made.
There was little communication between them, but it didn't affect each other's tacit understanding, he liked to call her name, and she only had to look up at him to answer.
"Shixue"
Her father began to call her name again, but he stopped talking.
She guessed her father wanted to ask how the injuries came about.
"Black figures," she said.
Father suddenly stopped helping her rub the medicine, looked at her, deep pupils shuttled traces of the past, she couldn't guess the information in her father's eyes, and then her father began to play with the potion again......
The evening sunset is like a delicate flower, and the sea water changes colors at will against the backdrop of the sky.
Yin Shixue lay on the grass, listening to the sound of the tide crashing on the shore in the shallow wind, the sound of her father's rustling wood, and the faint call of bats as if floating from a distant dream, she once suspected that she had auditory hallucinations!
"Woo Woo T
The familiar cry sounded in her ears, mixed with the sound of the waves, cold, hurried, almost about to fight.
Yin Shixue opened her eyes, got up and looked at the beach-
It was a black mass that seemed to have been washed up by the sea, and she couldn't see what it was. Taotao's screams were full of hostility and fear.
She began to hear the sound of bats deep and clear again, as if it had come to her ears from the outside world, distant and ghostly!
When she ran to the beach, the afterglow of the evening sun on the horizon made her clearly see a cloud of black smoke emitting from the shallows, she saw her hair, she saw her slender fingers looming in the shallow water, and her pale forehead slowly revealed.
"Dead people?"
Yin Shixue's eyes widened in horror, and her mind went blank.
She had never seen a dead person, nor did she know what a dead person looked like, but she had heard that when they died, they would become ghosts, their faces covered with blood, their eyes of horror, and their spirits of resentment.
The more Yin Shixue thought about it, the more scared she became, and she was already sitting on the beach! At this moment, the fear in her heart has made her lose her ability to speak. She was afraid that the "dead man" would suddenly stand up in the next second, and then strangle her with his hands that were soaked in the seawater!
Taotao surrounded Yin Shixue, barking at the monster all the time, and Yin Shixue desperately shrank back. She wanted to get out of here, but she found that she didn't have the strength at all.
Suddenly, the monster's lying head slowly turned sideways towards Yin Shixue, and the black smoke in the sky enveloped his body, and the surrounding sea water also turned black.
She clearly saw that his eyes were refracting a faint blue light, and the evil aura emanating from his body made Taotao, who was full of hideous eyes and fierce light, retreat again and again......
Taotao flinched, and Wang ran away with a bang, leaving only Yin Shixue and the monster on the beach.
The aura of terror slowly enveloped her, a chill hit her spine, and at that moment her whole body trembled, and she felt that her heart was about to stop beating.
Everything in front of her began to overlap with distant dreams, and an eight-year-old boy looked at her coldly with a faint blue light in his pupils......
Shi Xue began to lose the distinction between dream and reality, the soft sand on the shore was embedded in her fingernails in her panic and struggle, and her long hair became messy, sometimes covering her frightened eyes.
The monster's slowly squirming body tried to stand up, its cold gaze like ice in the Arctic Land, staring at her, approaching her, its grim face frozen in front of her......
Her heartbeat and breathing were out of balance, and finally, she lost all her strength, all consciousness, and forgot how to breathe...... She fainted with fright.
In her dreams, she saw her mother's faint smile, and she also saw a little boy with a cold face staring at her with strange eyes on a moonlit night, and saw a group of bats flying all over the sky surrounded her in black pressure, and lifted her up into the bottomless abyss......
Yin Shixue felt that her body kept falling, but she couldn't grasp anything......
"Daddy"
