Chapter 6: The Shadow of the Lake
It, without a face.
To be exact, there is no head.
Only the torso and limbs remained, and the naked body was a woman.
Especially the red scarf wrapped around the waist is even more dazzling and terrifying.
I wanted to struggle, but I couldn't shake it off, and suddenly I felt another water rushing behind me, and when I looked back, my heart was even colder-
The half-shattered wolf's head burst out of the water and bit me viciously!
Call!
My body sank suddenly, and a breath of fresh air instantly filled the alveoli, and at the same time, it gradually became clear in front of my eyes - Biao Zi, Xiao Man, and Tong Yang surrounded me, eagerly calling my name.
"Li'er, what's the matter? Can you hear me? Lu Yao asked.
"No, it looks like you have to take artificial respiration." Du Longbiao carried me ashore and came down with me.
I pushed him away, sat up sharply, and coughed sharply.
Everyone laughed, there was a false alarm, and everyone was fine.
"What just happened?" Du Longbiao patted me on the back, "It's like seeing a ghost, look at the one who hit my arm!" His wrists were red and swollen, "If you have that strength, you might as well swim up yourself." โ
I didn't speak, I sat on the ground and was stunned, I didn't believe that there were ghosts in the world, but the woman with the red scarf ...... I can only comfort myself that it should still be an illusion caused by the extreme lack of oxygen in the brain, reflecting Tong Yang's description in the subconscious.
After resting by the lake for nearly two hours, I regained some strength. In the middle of the day, it was close to the early hours of the morning, the mountain wind gradually got colder, Du Longbiao carried back a large section of pine trees, cut open the bark, the pine wood inside was still dry, split the fire, the pine oil "sizzled" sounded, we gathered together, and the jumping fire made everyone's hearts warm.
The little girl cried again, shouting that she was hungry, and Sister Yao tried her best to coax her, for fear of causing us trouble again.
Du Longbiao sighed and said, the wolf just now was a good ingredient, if it wasn't for the third watch in the middle of the night, it should really be fished up and sacrificed to the Five Organs Temple.
I said, I'm never going into the water again, instead, we should leave right back to the dam.
Tong Yang immediately shook his head like a rattle, "Let's wait for rescue, the black goo is walking in the mountains, if you encounter a beast again...... We have fire here, at least to scare the big wolf or something. โ
This time, everyone else approved of his proposal.
I had no choice but to let the group move further up the hill and away from the lake as much as possible.
Lu Yao asked me, what's going on today? Why do you seem to be frightened by something? Usually you are bold and broad-hearted, you have never seen such a timidity?
I told everyone about the experience of being in distress during the day and in the lake just now, and I thought that Lu Yao would analyze it with strange powers, but he was happy after listening to it, "Li Er, do you really believe in those nonsense and nonsense, do you know what my grandfather and grandma said to me?" Those who do their job, if they want to help others 'exorcise evil spirits', they must not believe in evil in the first place, otherwise, they will be scared to death! โ
I don't know if he's comforting me or stabilizing the morale of the military. But I think what he said also has a certain truth - just like people who look at corpses in crematoriums, they are not afraid of ghosts, but they don't believe in ghosts, so the fear of ordinary people is just a piece of cake in their eyes.
Everyone's mood gradually stabilized, only Tong Yang's face changed after hearing this, and he talked for a while, blaming us for forcibly pulling him here; After a while, he complained to me that such a big thing was still hidden, if he said it in the morning, everyone would return to the city early, and they would not have encountered so many fatal troubles!
Du Longbiao gave him another spoonful, "This is called providence!" He glanced at Sister Yao and the child, and didn't say any more, indeed, if it weren't for us being trapped here by accident, then Sister Yao's mother and daughter would ......
Tong Yang stopped talking, puffing out his cheeks and being angry there.
Everyone was tired and sleepy, and dozed off on their own, until the sky turned white, and no one spoke much.
When the sky was bright, Zhu Xiaoman got up to go to make it convenient, and Sister Yao put down the child and wanted to accompany her, afraid that she would not be safe as a girl. Tong Yang also stood up, wanting to follow behind, so Du Longbiao dragged him, "When other people's girls go to the toilet, what are you doing with it, you really treat yourself as a girl!" โ
Tong Yang was speechless, but it could be seen from the appearance of him holding his stomach and clamping his legs, this guy was not holding his urine for a while, Du Longbiao intended to harm him, "You can solve it here, don't worry, we promise not ......to look at it" Finally, he whispered to avoid the woman and the child, "I can't see anything ......anyway," he said, and brought him another spoon.
I don't know if it was that sentence or this action, which finally angered Tong Yang, and he shouted, "You get out of me!" Turning around, it was a punch, which hit Du Longbiao's shoulder, and Du Longbiao's strong body was shocked, swaying back and forth, stunned.
Tong Yang still didn't give up, and roared hysterically, "It's interesting to bully people, isn't it?!" You all shit, get out of here! As she spoke, tears fell "crackling", and she was even more sad than the little girl had cried before.
People lose their nature under extreme stress and fear, as we learned in the police academy curriculum.
The little girl was awakened, rubbed her eyes, and walked to Tong Yang's side, "Big brother, be good, don't cry, I still have sugar here." โ
Du Longbiao sneered and looked at Tong Yang, Tong Yang turned around angrily and strode out.
Zhu Xiaoman called him, "Why are you going?" โ
"I'm getting out of this place!"
"Don't go it alone! Tong Yang, this is very dangerous! โ
"With them, it's more dangerous!" Tong Yang didn't look back, it seemed that he was really angry, but he stopped just taking a step and yelled, "Let go of me!" โ
A few of us didn't move in the back.
He turned his head angrily, "What the hell do you want?" You-" Suddenly he found that none of us dragged him, and when he looked down, he couldn't help but be stunnedโ
His feet stepped on a large mass of aquatic plants, his ankles were tightly wrapped, and he just wanted to break free, but when he saw the aquatic plants suddenly pulled down, he fell on his back, and the aquatic plants were connected in a line, and the other end was in the lake, I don't know what was pulling over there, he had no resistance, like a broken sack, and was quickly dragged over......
Just at the moment of the hand planing and pedaling, regardless of the others, he actually grabbed the little girl's arm and took it down together, a few of us rushed down the hill, Zhu Xiaoman and Sister Yao went to save the child, Lu Yao and I grabbed Tong Yang's two hands, a group of people made a mess, the shore after the rain was full of mud and grass, we couldn't stand steadily, our feet slipped, and we climbed along the slope, but fortunately, Du Longbiao's hands were quick, and he cut off the aquatic weeds with a knife, and several people finally stopped at the water's edge.
The aquatic weeds shrank into the lake and stopped moving. A few of us didn't have time to scold Tong Yang, so we hurriedly got up and ran up the hillside, but at this moment, the little girl in Sister Yao's arms suddenly burst into tears, "Mom, big bad wolf!" Her little head rested on her mother's shoulder, and she did not dare to look into the lake, and I followed the sound and was so frightened that I was terrifiedโ
A wet thing was coming out of the lake, half of its head was deflated, but it was still grinning and spitting out a scarlet tongue, it was the wolf that should have died a long time ago!
Sister Yao's feet slipped and fell, and the wolf's mouth followed, Du Longbiao was close, and it was a punch when she went up, first hitting the wolf's head aside, followed up with another kick, just stepping the wolf's head under the water, and then the knife fell, poof, poof! The fruit knife stabbed the wolf in the side repeatedly, and the water was instantly stained red with blood. Du Longbiao was ruthless, and scolded at the same time, "Whether you are a wolf or a ghost, roll the calf for me!" โ
Sister Yao fled to the shore with the child in her arms, comforting her daughter while nodding her head to Du Longbiao in thanks, tears welling up in her eyes again.
Du Longbiao almost stabbed the wolf into a honeycomb eye before he stopped and spit out, "Dog beast!" Then, he walked to the shore with a shallow foot on his face, with a victor's smile on his face, "Brother didn't brag - the provincial police academy students competed, we are the runner-up in martial arts!" โ
Lu Yao smiled and cheered, "What about the champion?" โ
"Champion-" Du Longbiao's words suddenly blocked in his throat and couldn't speak again, and the bloody wolf's mouth had already bitten his neck from behind......
All of us were stunned as we watched him fall into the lake......
