Chapter 16: The Second Half of the Valley
The rope on the fawn's feet was kicked and messed up when he struggled, and the whole mess was very troublesome to solve. I simply took a knife and picked it up, this Kong Immortal's hand is heavy enough, and the rope is so tight that I can't wait to strangle people's flesh. The long knife in my hand is double-edged, it is not easy to operate, and I am afraid of hurting the deer, so I have to put the action very lightly and slowly, picking little by little.
Kong Xian, who was munching on biscuits with white water, stared at my hand for a long time, and suddenly didn't know what to smoke, and said in a very complaining tone: "Alas...... Why haven't I seen you so gentle with me? ”
I coughed dryly, looked back at him, and said, "Don't talk as if I've abused you before." ”
"Didn't you?" He asked rhetorically.
Oh, I obeyed his mentality of reversing right and wrong and not being afraid of being struck by lightning, so I made an expression at him without smiling, and scolded: "If I am willing to abuse you, I will still be bullied by you for so many years?" ”
"Poof......
He almost choked on the foam of the biscuits, stared at me for a long time before he said with a smile: "Mu You, why do I think your mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter, I want to be sweet...... Go up and take a bite. ”
"Yo!" I teased: "When you are scolded, you still think my mouth is sweet? How? Our Kong officials have a very unique taste. ”
"Well, it's quite unique, so you'd better be honest with me, don't play yourself to death one day, who am I bullying?" After Kong Xian finished speaking, he swallowed the last bite of biscuits, got up and collected the remaining things, and walked in the direction of the valley with his backpack.
I said in my heart: You still have the face to make me honest, and I don't see how much I like to die, and I don't know who will play you to death first.
I fed the fawn the last bite of biscuits in my hand, and quickly pulled the fawn with my bag on my back.
During the march, the fawn carefully carried my bag, as if to help me carry it, I didn't expect this little ghost to be quite caring, and there was a kind of pampering in my heart. Looking at his thin appearance and his hands and feet, which were still bruised, I shook my head to refuse his kindness, reached out to help him wipe the ashes on his face, and said, "When you grow up and become stronger, when you see me again, you will help me carry my backpack." ”
He nodded, no longer insisting. Since I helped him untie the rope, he is no longer hostile to me, but now he is a little sticky to me, like Lin Su, always walking with one of my arms. I suspect that one day these arms will not be the same length.
However, he was very afraid of Kong Xian, as long as Kong Xian looked at him, he was trembling, as if there was a yaksha crawling out of hell in front of him. I wonder if he was abusing people when he caught a fawn in the woods yesterday.
The closer we got to the valley, the sparser the trees became, and the brighter our position became, and this section was much easier and faster than the previous one in the woods.
But the mountains on both sides are clamped over, the space is reduced and the most afraid of rain, if there is a mudslide or a landslide, it is really a cemetery that does not need to be chosen, to ensure that it is buried.
"How long will this valley take?" The previous memories were a little vague, and I didn't know the bottom of my heart, so I asked Kong Xian.
He estimated it and replied, "If nothing else, it will take more than an hour to pass." ”
After he finished speaking, my face immediately darkened, according to common sense, whenever the words "if nothing else" appeared on TV, it must not be good......
I glanced at him with warning, gritted my teeth and whispered, "If something happens, I'll sew your crow's mouth to death." ”
As he spoke, he had already entered the valley, and the first half of the space was the narrowest, forming a first-line landform. This section of our journey is relatively smooth and smooth, the wind blows comfortably, and the scenery is beautiful. There are many emerald green vines and plants hanging down from the mountain, with small pink and purple flowers, which are as beautiful as if they were made by some art master. The grass below was not deep, and it was neatly like a carpet of flowers. For a moment, I really felt like a tourist.
But after the middle section, the fawn stopped inexplicably, grabbed my arm and refused to go forward, he kept shaking his head and pulling me back, as if he was afraid of something.
Kong Xian and I glanced at each other, and our hearts were tight. I stroked his shoulder to tell him not to be afraid, and then asked the fawn softly, "Is there anything on the road ahead?" Why can't you go? ”
He just shook his head vigorously, and he couldn't say why, but his expression was like that of a terrifying beast crawling in front of him.
Kong Xian saw this situation, he was not very relieved, glanced at the other side, and said, "You two rest here first, I'll go and have a look first, there is no problem before leaving." ”
"No, no, no." I hurriedly said, "Let's go together, if there is anything else that can help." ”
"Help?" Kong Xian looked crying and laughing, reached out and slapped me on the back of the head, and teased: "What? If it's a landslide, do you want to help me withstand it? ”
I didn't think about it, and blurted out directly, "If it's irreparable, sister can help you open the way on Huangquan Road!" ”
As soon as the words landed, Kong Xian was stunned, and I myself was stunned, I didn't know how to say such a sentence. The fawn looked at the two of us stupidly, and the three of them stared at each other.
After the atmosphere was silent for a moment, Kong Xian's face suddenly turned cold, he looked at my eyes seriously, and warned me: "Stay for me obediently, if I don't come back, you dare to take a step, be careful that I break your legs." After saying that, he walked forward without looking back......
His suddenly cold tone made me get goosebumps when I heard it, but I didn't know what this guy was angry about, could it be that he was really an inflatable doll? It leaks at every turn, who can stand it.
If there were no fawn, I would not have heed his warnings. Unless he tied me up with a rope, I would have chased after me, and I didn't believe he would dare to hit me. But now that the fawn is pulling me, I can't force him to go forward.
"Little deer, tell me what's up ahead?" I grabbed the fawn's shoulder and asked eagerly.
When he saw that I was in a hurry, he gestured with his hand, as if he wanted to explain it to me. I carefully discerned his movements, and saw that he had been gesturing with the shape of a human being, and then with some animals. I just don't know what it means.
"You mean there are people and animals up ahead?" I guessed.
He nodded, shook his head again, and made a few painful expressions and movements.
"You're saying that these people and animals are miserable? Because you went to the other side of the valley? ”
He still didn't fully approve of it, and lay on the ground again imitating convulsions, and finally lay still, as if imitating death.
I asked, "Are you saying they went through a very painful death?" ”
The fawn finally nodded now, but I couldn't calm down anymore...... Quickly turn your head to look in the direction of the second half of the valley.
Kong Xian's pace is fast, and there is a big steep slope in front of him, when I look over, he is just going down the steep slope, and now I can still see the position of his shoulder, and when he goes down completely, I can't see anything here.
"Little deer, let's go a little further, okay?"
I persuaded me to think that if I went downhill, I could see the whole second half of the valley.
But the fawn just refused, and was dragged by me two steps, and finally lay directly on the ground.
……
Kong Xian said before that this guy can help, I think ...... This is a good help.
The more I couldn't see, the more worried I became, and the grass under my feet was about to be trampled into grass juice. Although Kong Xian is very smart, he will definitely turn back quickly when he finds a problem, but I just can't let go of it in my heart, I just feel that my chest is grabbed by a hand, and I don't know what to do.
"Is it dangerous for him to go over like this?" I asked the fawn again.
The fawn got up and shook his head, not knowing whether it was unclear or not dangerous.
I was really not worried, so I was ready to untie the deer's rope and go over to take a look.
That's it! Suddenly, a birdsong sounded in the air, and the sound was terrible, like a ghostly scream in the middle of the night. I was startled and hurriedly looked in the direction where the birdsong was coming from...... Just in the second half of the valley!
"What's going on?"
I panicked, and was about to rush over to find Kong Xian, when I looked up, I saw that he had turned back. I let out a sigh of relief, and finally calmed down, if he lingered a little longer, I guess my hair would have to be rushed into a limited edition granny gray by his old man.
But his expression was very solemn, frowning, and he looked like he was in trouble.
"What's the situation? What's the deal with that bird call? I hurried up to him and asked him.
"It's really impossible to walk down there, the road is covered with corpses, and there are some corpses that look like humans in the distance, I don't know what's going on. However, I have observed several recent weasels and sparrows, all of which have varying degrees of subcutaneous hemorrhage. Just now, the bird had finished its cry and plunged into the pile of corpses and did not move. ”
Kong Xian's explanation was simple, but I felt that my head was big, and the bird I shot down before was also bleeding under the skin under the wings. If a large number of animals die from this cause, it can only be a plague or a virus.
The plague is not a joke, once it is contaminated, it is equivalent to holding the hand of black and white impermanence, and you have to go early and late. The point is this transmissible virus, who knows how it spreads, maybe we were infected when we touched the bird yesterday, and maybe we took two breaths and got hit.
"Sss I was a little confused, so I asked, "Do those animals have obsessive-compulsive disorder?" Why did you die in the second half of the valley? Or is it ...... Someone deliberately picked it up and threw it there? ”
Kong Xian shook his head, indicating that he was not clear.
I was about to see if the fawn knew about it, but I accidentally caught a look of disappointment on his face. The expression flashed, and I didn't know if it was real.
When he saw me looking at him, he made a few movements. I have to say that his action is not much better than that of the circus gorillas, and it is more brain-consuming to guess than the lantern riddles in ancient times.
I didn't understand it, but Kong Xian seemed to understand, and he asked Xiaolu suspiciously: "There have been many people here?" ”
The fawn nodded, and gestured to tell us: There were two men dressed in strange clothes, like ancient robes, and they took forks to clean up the corpses everywhere, and then piled them up in the second half of the valley.
I muttered to myself, "These two must be paid a lot." "Because I have the impression that all the work of disposing of corpses is a high salary. Last year, when life was bad, I almost changed my career to become an undertaker. Hiss...... But I really can't figure out how someone would come to this mountain to dispose of the corpse, if it was really because of the virus, the city sent someone to clean it up, it would definitely lock down the entire mountain. But we are very free to come out and go in, and I guess the city doesn't know that there is a plague here.
"Do you know how these animals die? Can you be prepared? Kong Xian asked Xiaolu again.
Xu is his expression is too serious, and the fawn is a little afraid of him, so he wants to shrink into my arms. The more he shrunk the green tendons on the fairy's forehead, the harder he jumped, and he directly grabbed him by the collar with one paw and pulled him out, warning, "Be honest with me." ”
I saw that the deer was very frightened, so I signaled Kong Xian with my eyes not to scare others. Then he patted the fawn on the back and comforted him softly, telling him not to be afraid. Seeing that it didn't work, I said a bunch of good things about Kong Xian again, and almost used up all the praise words I had learned all my life, and I was against my heart when I praised myself, so Xiaolu finally calmed down.
But he made a strange move towards me, with his back to Kong Xian. He stretched out his hand and carefully pointed to the position between the corner of his right eye and the tail of his eyebrows, which was the location of Kong Xian's cinnabar mole, then closed his eyes tightly and shook his head, and suddenly opened it again. I didn't really understand, but he was a little taboo and didn't continue to compare......
