Chapter 20: The Fawn's Warning
I was fast, and the man behind me was not slow, and with a twist of my wrist, he pressed me to the ground with his knees. I suspect that if he pushes any harder, my face will have to be smashed on the giant slug.
"It's me."
Mo Ranchen's deep voice came from behind him, and I was stunned when I heard it!
After he finished speaking, seeing that I had calmed down, he got up and let me go.
I quickly got up, stared at him with an incredulous face, and said to myself: I'm afraid I've seen a ghost.
"That thing is poisonous, it will spray water when it is attacked, and it will be in trouble if it gets wet." Mo Ranchen was talking about a serious matter, and I almost forgot who was pressing me to the slug just now.
I asked him, "Why are you here?" ”
I remembered that he said goodbye in the hospital before, and I just asked the little nurse to bring me a word in a hurry, I thought that his old man had an important national event to deal with, but I didn't expect to run this barren mountain to reclaim the wasteland.
He didn't answer directly, but said, "I'll explain to you later, it's not safe here, come with me first." After speaking, he led the way without looking back.
So what can I do but keep up? After all, in the face of nature, I am no different from the slug, both small and pitiful, and it would be really difficult for me to find my own way......
Mo Zhanchen's legs were long and he walked fast, and I almost had to walk and trot to keep up with him.
As I walked, I gradually realized that something was not right, Mo Ranchen in front of me took me not to take a straight road, but to turn around, as if I was bypassing something.
I joked: "Mo Zhanchen, your serpentine position is a bit coquettish, can't we go straight?" ”
He didn't look back, just whispered: "There are soul devourers around, it's better to bypass them, they will be aggressive when they are frightened." ”
Soul Eater? I looked confused and said, "What is this?" Which game is the big boss? It's wild to hear the name.
Mo Ranchen didn't say much, just told me not to ask too much, and when I got to a safe place, he would explain it to me.
After walking for about ten minutes, I looked up and saw the roof of a small wooden house not far away, which looked brown and copper, and should have been painted with brown copper paint.
As you get closer to the hut, the thatch becomes sparse and gradually disappears. This wooden house is not big, and it is only about twenty square meters, and it is estimated that Mo Ranchen will not be able to lift his head when he pushes it in. The owner of the wooden house is very careful, obviously there is no technical work, but it still looks quite exquisite.
I thought the chalet was our destination. However, no, Mo Ranchen passed by the door of the wooden house without stopping, but went directly to the window on the side of the wooden house, and swept the grass and sawdust with a broom, so that a stone slab below was exposed.
He lifted the slate with ease and motioned for me to go down.
I looked around, and the light was dim and dark, and I could only see a very steep staircase, but it was not long. I tried to reach out and step on it, and it felt like each staircase was sloping down a bit.
"Muyu."
I was still hesitating how to walk more steadily, when an unfamiliar voice at the bottom of the stairs suddenly called my name. I shuddered and almost rolled down the stairs, shaking a few times before I could stand firmly.
I squinted to see who he was, but the contrast was so great that my eyes couldn't adjust to the dim environment below, and I could only see some vague shadows.
"Go down, I'll wait for you below." Mo Yanchen urged.
His voice didn't have much emotion or intonation, and with this sentence that I didn't understand, I really listened to it and my liver trembled, as if I was standing at the entrance to hell, and below me stood an envoy who hooked souls. If you step on this foot, will you lose your yang?
Thinking so, I couldn't say anything, but I honestly walked down the stairs. After Mo Ranchen behind him came down, he covered the stone slab on it.
There are a few diesel lamps lit underneath, and when your eyes get used to the light, you can see the environment completely.
Only then did I realize that there were actually three people below. Two of them sat still, but one of them came over and took my hand very enthusiastically. I took a closer look and realized that it was a fawn!
"Mu You, it's fine that you're fine." The fawn suddenly spoke, startling me.
"Fawn, can you speak?" I asked him with a stunned glare.
He smirked twice and replied, "Aren't I afraid of meeting bad people." ”
I've never heard the fawn's voice before, and now it sounds like he's a stranger to him. I guess he was the one who called me by name before.
I said in my heart, this is not good, Kong Xian has been assuming the pseudonym Jin Eryan in order to hide his identity, and he refuses to recognize me. At first, I thought that the fawn was a wild child in the mountains, so I didn't have so many taboos. There was no hiding along the way, and too many things were exposed in front of him.
"Xiaolu, do you know Mo Zhanchen?" My tone was almost cold, and I had the illusion of being in a den of thieves, and I was very unhappy.
Xiaolu also felt it, he took a step back and looked at Mo Ranchen next to him.
Mo Zhanchen didn't say anything, and the quiet pestle was waiting for Xiaolu to explain to me by himself.
Xiaolu couldn't count on him, turned his head and smiled at me, his expression was still so innocent, especially those eyes, it really made me unable to connect him with the word city.
He said: "My real name is Nangong Xu, and I have known Brother Chen for a long time, but Brother Chen has been very busy, so we haven't seen each other for a long time, and I didn't expect him to come today." Those two people were sitting and chatting, and they were the people I rescued from this area. As he spoke, he gestured to two other unfamiliar faces.
There is nothing special about the appearance of these two people, but they are dressed strangely, and they are dressed in big robes, as if they have traveled from the Tang Dynasty. They whispered something, I don't know if they deliberately didn't want me to hear it, almost close to their ears.
"What do you mean to be rescued?" I asked, confused.
Xiaolu glanced at Mo Ranchen behind me again, as if he was asking for Mo Ranchen's opinion, or wanted to see if Mo Ranchen also wanted to know about this matter.
Xu is Mo Zhanchen nodded, and Xiaolu said, "Brother Chen, Mu You, I said that you don't have to be afraid." ”
I couldn't help but feel amused as I heard this come out of the mouth of a child younger than me, and I really wanted to know what it was about him that scared both of us.
The fawn pulled a long wooden bench over for us to sit down, and he lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "I have a few pieces of advice for you before I tell you about this place. First, don't stare at the clouds in the sky at night; Second, don't save people unless you're absolutely sure. Third, you must not go to the village on the mountainside where there is no one. ”
"Why?" Before I could speak, Mo Ranchen opened his mouth first, and it seemed that he didn't understand.
The fawn was silent for a moment, and then organized the language before replying: "Listen to me from the beginning, otherwise it will be chaos." This mountain is different from other mountains, it is cursed here! That person brought viruses and curses when he came! ”
"That person? Who is it? I asked.
The fawn didn't answer me right away, he stared at me for a long time, and there was something in his eyes that I couldn't read. He glanced at Mo Ranchen, and obviously, Mo Ranchen also wanted to know who his so-called "that person" was.
However, he still didn't say anything, pouted at Mo Ranchen with some apologies and some grievances, but deliberately turned his head to me and said, "I can't tell you now, you will know later." ”
He doesn't want to tell us now, and he can't help it. I nodded and motioned for him to continue.
Xiaolu talked about that person, and his face revealed a very frightened look, "That person is not a human at all, he is a mountain ghost, a mountain ghost who can call the wind and rain." ”
The more I listen, the more mysterious it becomes, and the mountain ghosts are even more important, and they still call the wind and rain? I'm afraid this mountain ghost is not broadcast by the Meteorological Bureau. However, when I went to the kitchen to talk to the proprietress in the kitchen, she advised me not to go into the mountain, and it was also said that there were mountain ghosts in the mountains.
However, this Yichang Mountain is not too much and not too much, more places have been developed into tourist attractions, and only a few barren mountains with no scenery have been completely abandoned, including our old house and the location of the strange city map given to me by Bai Zechen.
In this way, at that time, the proprietress already knew which mountain I was going to? Otherwise, could it be that all the mountains have mountain ghosts? How? Recently held a mountain ghost friendship party? That's not right, although Yichang has always been said to be "evil", but there is an endless stream of people who come to travel, and there has never been any real problem.
"Little deer, have you ever seen this mountain ghost?" I asked.
Xiaolu nodded, suddenly widened his eyes and said in horror: "Not only have I seen mountain ghosts, but I also lost a best friend because of seeing mountain ghosts." As he spoke, he moved closer to Mo Ranchen, as if seeking a sense of security.
Seeing that he was scared, Mo Ranchen directly hugged him in his arms.
The fawn then elaborated.
It turns out that Xiaolu has been staying here for a long, long time, and when he first came here, he had a companion named Wang Wei. Don't look at the name is the same as the great poet, but I am a tiger-brainer, and I always treat the deer as a big brother.
Xiaolu even abducted and flickered, so he got this Wang Wei over. The two of them are small and big, and the equipment can be described as a batch of six. Grandpa Wang Wei left a lot of inheritance, so the family is extremely wealthy, and he has enough pocket money to buy a minimum SUV, so he brings all the best things, and he still asks someone to move into the mountains. This is why they can survive so comfortably in the mountains, and they don't have to sleep in hammocks like Bei Ye eating insects.
Before the two of them built the house, they also slept in tents, and according to basic common sense, the tents were set up in a relatively high and flat position, that is, around the wooden house.
Originally, the two of them were safe, and Xiaolu took Wang Wei to experience the life of a savage every day, hunting, planting vegetables, fishing and shrimp, etc., which were the most ordinary days for rural people, but Wang Wei didn't like to go to school, and this kind of free and easy life was a great enjoyment for him. It wasn't long before they built the cabin above us and said goodbye to the tent for good.
However, suddenly one night, not long after nightfall, Wang Wei's mood was not right. He was very irritable, and he wanted to go home, so he pulled the fawn, saying that it was not fun here, and desperately begged the fawn to go home with him.
