Chapter 19: The Land of the Wasteland
The deer and Kong Xian in front also heard the gunshot, and lay down to cover their ears like me. When the sound subsided, they immediately got up and climbed as fast as I could, and I followed closely step by step, and in a few clicks I reached the end.
At the end is another corner to the right, and turning around is considered a hole.
As soon as Kong Xian went out, he took my collar and dragged me out of the hole with the bottom of the back, and the fawn found some stones and piled them up in the hole, sealing the exit.
Looking at the environment outside the exit, I was simply amazed. Outside here is a half-green grass that is not yellow, obviously an ordinary thatch, but it grows so long that I can't help but sigh at my height at forty-five degrees. I can't see anything as far as the eye can see, only a piece of grass in front of me, and it's really "the grass is deep and I don't know where it is, only in this mountain." ”
"Where are we going?" I didn't expect that I, a local, would be reduced to the point of asking about the fawn. However, I dare to vouch for my head, we have never seen such a tall place where thatch can grow when we were young, otherwise I must have cleaned it with a pickaxe and braided hemp rope......
The fawn pointed to the southeast to show me, and I glanced at his fingertips, and I couldn't even see a fart, only the tip of the thatch. The fawn also knew that I couldn't see anything, so he took the lead and pulled the grass to lead the way.
"Muyu." Kong Xian was not very relieved, so he squatted down and motioned for me to ride on his shoulder.
……
I was stunned and stared at him for a long time, but I didn't dare to go up. I thought to myself, although I didn't ride it when I was a child, but I was light at that time, and now the weight of more than 90 catties is pressed up, not to mention that Kong Xian can't be suppressed, it is inevitable to be sneered at by him.
After weighing the pros and cons for a long time, Kong Xian was about to turn around and urge, but I didn't wait for him to speak, holding the mentality that the dead pig was not afraid of boiling water, he still rode up with his legs. Let him say go, if he really can't afford me, that's what he did.
It's just that I didn't expect that Kong Xian was very stable, and he looked easy, like a child on his head. I couldn't help but be a little surprised, and said in my heart: It seems that I really underestimated him. He didn't say that I was sinking, but muttered: "I don't feel fleshy before." ”
I ignored him and looked into the distance from my current height.
I saw that our position was almost completely surrounded by a man-high grass, and there were few trees around, and only a hundred meters away did a high mountain forest appear. The grass growth is spectacular, something we have never seen before.
I turned to look for the direction of the valley, but I couldn't find the location of the cliff we had climbed.
"It's incredible."
Kong Xian was walking behind Xiaolu, heard my muttering, and asked something?
I replied, "It stands to reason that we haven't climbed far, so it's impossible to completely lose sight of the cliffs in the valley. ”
"Maybe it's obscured, look for something iconic." Kong Xian said.
After looking around several times, I sighed helplessly, "The iconic thing is that there is a forest in the direction where the fawn is taking us, and there is nothing else." Or...... Will you sit on my shoulder? ”
“…… I'm afraid you won't be able to hold it. ”
He was afraid that I wouldn't be able to hold it, and I was afraid that he wouldn't be able to hold it, and he couldn't see anything anyway, so I asked Kong Xian to let me down.
However, instead of crouching down and letting me go down, he pulled my clothes, pulled me down, and whispered in my ear, "You can't come down now, when the situation is uncertain, we must have someone who can observe the surroundings, I ...... I can't trust the fawn. ”
I think so.
But...... No, no, that's not what I said.
I glanced back at it uneasily, bowed my head and said to Kong Xian, "Those foreigners have already entered the cave where we stayed before, and it is only a matter of time before they come here." I'm being held up by you now, like a Attack on Titan, are you sure it's okay? I don't want to eat guns. ”
The fawn in front of me kept walking towards the southeast with his hand on the grass, and Kong Xian was afraid that I would be noticed by those foreigners, so he still planned to let me down, but according to my understanding of him, after putting me down, he would definitely tie the fawn and me together with a rope again to ensure our safety.
But at the moment when he crouched down and was about to let me go. Unexpectedly, the little deer leading the way in front of him suddenly sped up and ran as if he expected Kong Xian to catch him again.
"Fawn!" I was horrified! This kid is much more familiar with the grass and forest here than we are, if he runs away, can he catch him again, if he still has any accomplices, or has already prepared a trap somewhere, we will be in trouble!
Kong Xian knew the seriousness of the matter better than me, and chased after Xiaolu without saying a word.
"Kong Xian!" I shouted at him softly, afraid of his fawn's plan. I don't know if he didn't hear it, or if he insisted on chasing the deer, but he didn't turn his head back anyway.
I can't care so much, so hurry up and catch up, otherwise it will be even more troublesome if I get separated later. This place is not much better than the labyrinth, and there is a group of foreigners hidden in the grass and forest, once they encounter danger, it is really a dog, and they dare not shout.
The two people in front of me ran faster and faster, and I chased for a long time, and suddenly I was obscured by the tall grass in front of me.
"Kong Xian!" After I couldn't see the figures of those two people at all, I shouted at the top of my throat, Kong Xian didn't pay attention to me, I had to chase another section with the general direction, but there was still no result, so I had to stop and listen to the movement with my ears open.
At first, I could still hear some movement of the grass and forest, so I ran around with it. In the end, the person didn't catch up and ran into a daze.
"This unreliable bastard is not afraid of accidents when he runs so fast." I also have a big head, and I secretly scolded Kong Xian, and I was ready to continue looking for these two people.
That's it! Suddenly the voices of the foreigners were heard behind me. They didn't make a lot of noise, they deliberately lowered it when they heard it, and it seemed that they had discovered our existence, so they didn't want to startle the snake. They are located very close to me, at most eight to ten meters away.
I broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly squatted down, afraid that any of my dull hairs would attract the attention of those people, and the one who died would be wronged.
By squatting, I slowly moved a distance in the opposite direction of the voice, keeping myself away from those people, for fear that they would not die, and I was particularly fated. The foreigner is tall, and this grass forest will not completely block their view, as long as I get closer to them, it will be over.
In order to minimize the movement, I was almost out of the rhythm of the mechanical dance, one step with three stops. But something didn't feel right with me, except for the sound of rubbing against the grass as I moved, I seemed to hear another sound.
The source of this sound is just the opposite of those foreigners, some like the sound of people walking, but it is too regular, and it does not look like a flesh-and-blood person. According to common sense, if the grass forest is too deep, it will make small cuts on the body and face, so normal people must use their hands or things in their hands to remove the thatch, and then move forward. But the sound of the movement is very rigid, like the sound of some machine or animal moving in a regular way.
I said in my heart, the grass and forest are so deep, it can't be a snake......
I'm afraid it's one thing, but sitting back is not the solution, and it's not the choice I should have now.
Because I didn't have a thorough grasp of the surrounding environment, I squatted quietly in this one place, listened carefully to the movements around me, and then made a general analysis in my mind.
I could hear the voices of the foreigners a little, and they weren't moving in my direction.
"Attention! There's probably that kind of monster here! ”
At this time, I understood the words of a foreigner, his voice was not loud, but crisp, and he could hear it very clearly. I once heard this sentence when watching a science fiction movie, and there were Chinese subtitles under the movie, which was inadvertently stored in my mind.
"That kind of monster?" I silently recited this sentence in my mind, and suddenly a sense of unease rushed into my nerves.
My first thought was the fire pine nut, and the only monsters I could call it a monster in my memory were the old rivals not long ago, the fire pine nut and the baby corpse, but they all lived underground, and they were lit by their own secretions, and I really hadn't seen them on the ground. It wouldn't be good if we met on a narrow road! It was all a matter of geography to be able to play a few tricks with them before. If you really want to fight on this flat ground, I estimate that Kong Xian is hanging, and the only one who can have a chance of winning is Mo Zhanchen.
Squatting and squatting, the voices of those foreigners faded away, but the sound of friction between the grass and the forest became closer and closer to my position. I didn't dare to breathe, and carefully calculated which way to flee for my life was the king.
I took two steps back, and I couldn't compliment my speed, so I thought it would be okay to stand up, but if I moved lightly, I would be able to react as quickly as I could if I was discovered.
After getting up, I carefully moved the grass next to me, and divided half of my attention under my feet, after all, the sound of friction and friction, like the pace of the devil, and I don't know what it is, I am afraid that this foot will go down and provoke which snake fairy sister, heh, my little heart is very fragile.
After only about four or five steps, I thought I was moving away from the sound source, but suddenly the grinding sound sounded in my ears!
I broke out in a cold sweat and quickly stopped to look for the source of the sound.
At this time, I looked down and saw something, not what it was, some like a slug that came out after a rainy day, but its size made me feel a little frightened. It's no exaggeration to say that I don't even have the length of a leg that I stretch out.
I couldn't help but feel a little emotional, and my heart said: "Is our broken place, the water and soil so fertile?" Sluggs can grow so fat, I'm afraid they have to give birth to a bunch of ghosts? ”
On closer inspection, it turned out that the friction sound was made by this little thing. This strange insect is lying on the grass and moving, the sound it makes is not small, and its movement is slow and regular, really like a machine. It's in a far cry from what I've heard before, and there must be more than one around.
I couldn't help but laugh a little, thinking to myself, those monsters that foreigners say, can't this be this thing? No wonder fairy tales say that elephants are most afraid of mice, and it turns out that the big man with a gun is the most afraid of slugs......
I didn't know if it was aggressive, so I picked up a wooden stick from the ground and stabbed it twice. It didn't react much, it just raised its head and looked left and right, and it didn't know where its eyes were.
Just when I was slightly relaxed, I suddenly felt someone behind me pat me on the shoulder, and the feeling of shock instantly hit my whole body, and before my brain could react, the whole person bounced up first, and it was a hand knife in my hand!
