Chapter 53: The Wild Man Reappears
The sudden herd of wild boars feels weird no matter how you think about it.
Let's not talk about where in the world there are such huge herds of wild boars, let's just say why these wild boar herds suddenly rioted, and even attacked us?
Speaking of the loud noise, I originally thought that the sound of the hare hitting the tree, but the more I thought about it, the more I felt that it was wrong, even if the hare had wings, it would not have such a violent sound when it hit the tree, and looking at the hare, the injury was not serious at all, it was just a simple fainting.
If it was really a violent collision, the hare's braincase would have been sparse for a long time, how could it be just a coma?
I lit a cigarette and took a deep breath, and the conclusion of the matter was already in my mind.
The little demon lied to me.
From the time she took the initiative to go out, to the discovery of the hare, it was all her words, perhaps because of my trust in her, I subconsciously chose to believe her, but now I realized that there were too many loopholes in her words, and I am not a fool, so I can't believe it.
So what does it mean for her to tell this lie that is bound to be exposed? What can't you just say to me?
The more I thought about it, the more I had a headache, and the four words were the most appropriate for me to put on me now, until the cigarette burned my fingers and I felt a pain, and I was freed from the troubled thoughts.
The fat man was almost rested, got up from the ground with his muscles and bones, kicked me and said lazily: "Okay, don't play dead, you kid, let's go around and find out what the hell this place is." ”
I was so tired from running that I didn't want to move, I was sitting on the ground and didn't want to move, but the fat man was so entangled with me, I really had no choice, so I had to dig out the bow and crossbow parts that the little demon shot before the python and assemble them, put on the crossbow arrows and follow the fat man outside.
It was already past six o'clock in the evening, and the sky had already darkened, and the fog had dissipated a lot, and I could vaguely see the scene within twenty meters of the surroundings.
I felt that something was wrong in my heart, and asked, "What was you carrying when you kid just ran for his life?" ”
The fat man's face changed obviously, and then he sneered: "It's nothing, just some change of clothes and food or something." ”
"And what am I carrying?" I asked the fat man.
The fat man said solemnly: "Briquettes! ”
I was directly blinded by the fat man's arrogant appearance, and I forgot to get angry, and asked along with his words: "Why do you want me to carry briquettes?" Do you know how much this backpack of briquettes weighs? ”
The fat man glanced around the surroundings, pouted and said, "Look around, is there anything else besides bamboo?" Since we are going to run out, we must be fully prepared, without briquettes, what will we burn at night? What to eat? Without light, how can we defend ourselves? ”
The fat man's series of questions did make some sense, so I didn't entangle with him on this topic, and changed the topic and asked, "What are we going to fight out of?" Don't blame me for not reminding you, the wild boar herd may not have gone far at this time, and if we bump into them, it's just the two of us, and it's not enough for them to stuff their teeth. ”
The fat man suddenly turned around, looked at me and said word by word: "You really think I called you out to hunt?" ”
I felt a pang in my heart, and I didn't go around in circles with the fat man anymore, and went straight to the point and said, "Want to talk about the problem of the little demon?" ”
The fat man nodded as he walked around: "That's right, since she woke up in the camp, she seems to be ...... It's like a different person. What did you encounter under the cracks in the ground? Can she change so much? ”
I shook my head and said: "No, this change in her is not a change in the cracks in the ground, but a change in herself, I vaguely have a feeling that she has no ill will towards us, but she suddenly knew something after waking up, but this information cannot be revealed to us, I feel that she is also hesitant, she can only reveal one or two to us through this means, but unfortunately, I have not grasped what she wants to tell me." ”
The fat man sighed, "I feel this way too, that stupid girl seems to be struggling in her heart, but we can't ask directly, we can only improve our ......"
There was a faint shout from afar, as if the little demon was calling me, and the fat man glanced at me, and we immediately rushed to the source of the sound.
The little demon and Ji Gang have already lit a bonfire, the briquettes are spitting strong flames, and there is a small iron pot on top of the bonfire, and the food is boiling in the iron pot, slimy, although it smells quite fragrant, but it looks extremely unappetizing.
When I saw all this in front of me, I felt a faint pain in my back, these briquettes and cooking utensils were all carried by Lao Tzu all the way, damn, I was tired to death just thinking about it.
The little demon was in the northwest direction of the bonfire, and when he saw me, he was extremely excited, and beckoned to me: "Old Tang, come here, what do you see here?" ”
The fat man and I walked towards the little demon one after the other, and there was a well at her feet!
The well is made of green bricks, and it looks to be at least hundreds of years old, and the walls of the well are covered with smooth and delicate moss, and the water looks very clear, and there are a few bamboo leaves in it.
In a barren bamboo forest, there is not a single household within a radius of thousands of meters, how can a well suddenly appear? And there are no derricks and buckets on this well, so you can't fetch water if you want to!
The little demon whispered: "I found this well by accident, it is covered with a layer of stone slabs the same color as rotten bamboo leaves, if I hadn't accidentally kicked the corner of this stone slab, I wouldn't have found a well here." ”
The fat man squatted down next to the well and said puzzledly, "What is the sign that a well suddenly appeared in the bamboo forest?" Could it have been inhabited before? But no, there is no trace of the life of the inhabitants here, who would be idle and idle to dig a well here? At first glance, this well is not drilled now, and it is not a joke to dig a well in ancient times, and the manpower and material resources consumed. ”
I don't know why, I stand next to the well, there is always a feeling of fright, although it is very light, but like a fly lingering in my heart, I took a deep look at my own reflection in the well water, beckoned the little demon and the fat man and said: "Okay, okay, what is there to see in a well, let's go, let's go to eat first, after dealing with it here for a night, and then find a way to go to this pheasant grave, if you really don't have a clue, let's go back the same way." ”
Ji Gang had already prepared dinner, I took chopsticks to string up two roasted steamed buns, and reluctantly comforted the Five Organs Temple with the unknown broth, the little demon sat next to the bonfire with a rice bowl, looking stunned, and she didn't pay attention to it after calling her a few times.
At twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, the wind began without warning.
I tried to open my eyes from my sleeping bag, the fat man who was keeping vigil was pouting his ass and adding briquettes to the bonfire, Ji Gang had already woken up, and sat next to him neatly dressed with a bird gun, and the most surprising thing to me was that the little demon was also awake, sitting next to me in my coat, holding the loaded submachine gun tightly in both hands, looking cautious and vigilant.
The night wind is very strong, and there is a little weird, blowing the bamboo leaves in the bamboo forest, and the bamboo leaves on the ground are dancing with the wind, I always feel that the night wind can blow through the sleeping bag into my bones, and every pore of the whole body feels eerie and cold.
I immediately got up from my sleeping bag, put on my clothes randomly, then pulled out the moire steel knife beside me and held it tightly in my hand, and whispered to the little demon next to me, "What's wrong?" What's wrong? Why are you all so nervous? ”
The little demon seemed to come back to his senses suddenly, and after a sigh, he shook his head and said, "I don't know, it's just that the wind suddenly rose, and then Ji Gang woke up, and you woke up too." And then that's it, I didn't see anything special happening, and I didn't see anyone else coming. ”
I played with the steel knife in my hand, sat down next to her and asked, "What about you?" You were also woken up by the night wind? ”
The little demon paused, bit his lower lip and whispered, "No, I didn't fall asleep." ”
"Something?" I asked the little demon.
A hint of confusion flashed in the little demon's eyes, and he hesitated for a moment before nodding.
I can now be sure that the little demon does have an extremely important secret hidden from me, and I tentatively asked, "What's going on?" Can you tell me about it? ”
The little demon sighed: "Old Tang, it's not that I'm hiding it from you, but this matter...... The stakes are too high for me to tell you right now, but don't worry, I'll be able to tell you all the truth right away. ”
Right away? What do you mean?
Before I could react, I heard the sound of rustling footsteps around me.
The sudden footsteps in the middle of the night frightened me, I immediately clenched the steel knife, Ji Gang and the fat man had already stood up and stared at the surrounding night, the little demon took a deep breath, and his face showed a look of relief.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and I was getting more and more nervous, and I was about to stand up, when the little demon reached out and grabbed my wrist and whispered: "Don't worry, wait a minute, there will be a good show." ”
I glanced at the little demon, the hesitation and confusion on her face had long since disappeared, and the little demon who was not afraid of heaven and earth before had returned.
I don't know why, seeing the expression of the little demon holding the wisdom bead, my originally nervous mood suddenly relaxed most of it.
", it's a wild man!" The fat man's roar rang in my ears like thunder.
I hurriedly turned on the flashlight, knowing that all this was in the demon's calculations, but I still gasped after seeing the scene around me.
More than twenty tall savages gasped and surrounded the four of us in the center, these savages were as tall as I had seen before, with vigorous hair, and most importantly, their pupils were all dark red, as if their pupils were covered with a layer of pale red cornea, which looked very strange in the dark night.
These more than 20 savages seem to be manipulated by a big hand, and they are not in a hurry to attack, but they are compressing us step by step in a circle, the atmosphere is becoming more and more oppressive and dignified, the fat man is sweating profusely, he is not sure whether these savages are people or monsters, in case they shoot and kill a few of them, is it counted as illegal hunting, or intentional homicide?
Ji Gang and the fat man were back to back, and roared in a low voice: "Boss, don't hesitate, these things are not vegetarians, if they really let them control the situation, our four guns won't have much effect!" ”
The little demon suddenly stood up and hurriedly said to stop: "Don't shoot, they won't hurt us!" ”
The fat man replied impatiently: "You said no, you won't?" You raised these wild people, huh? ”
The little demon pursed his lips, looked at the savages and whispered, "They are indeed raised by people, but not me!" ”
