There was a lot of moving in the woods, it was supposed to be living things, and I could hear it, and it was like a lot of people running in the woods.......

It's supposed to be human, right?

The sound of people moving in the woods is not the same as the sound of animals moving, and there are some differences.

"You guys go back first." Xiangjiang ghost said and put the kettle away.

When the water monkeys heard this, they also nodded, and roared like wild beasts, and their voices sounded very sharp, and they were a little similar to the monkeys' calls.

I have to say that this is the first time I have seen water monkeys with my own eyes, which is quite memorable.

Unlike the water monkeys I imagined, they looked much more hideous, at least they looked quite hideous, with sharp-billed monkey gills, shark-like gills on both sides of the chin, and two cuts on each side.

As their chests rise and fall with their breathing, the cheeks on their faces continue to open and close.

These water monkeys were a little taller than the old man had described, about the same as seven or eight years old.

It may be that these water monkeys are relatively well developed, and they all have a general's belly, and looking at it is called an incongruity.

Think about it too.

His limbs were as thin as those of a monkey, his belly was round and bulging, and he walked up and down....... If you can coordinate that, there will be ghosts.

Most of the hair on their bodies is dark, reddish in some places, the hair around their belly is relatively sparse, and their skin can be seen directly in some places.

I don't know if it's water or what, they've always been sticky, and even if they're blown by the wind, their hair shows no signs of drying.

"Do they breathe with their gills?" I couldn't help but ask, I wanted to go up and have a look, but I was afraid that these water monkeys would scratch me.

Don't think that I'm not afraid of anything if I have the protection of my physical body, touch my conscience and say, I'm still afraid of pain.

The fingers of the water monkeys are sharp and long, and they feel painful when they look at them, but the webbing that grows between their fingers looks soft, and there is an indescribable feeling, and I really want to touch it.

"Like a fish, you can't leave the water for a long time, but under certain conditions, you can leave the water for a short time." The Xiangjiang ghost said, pointing to the gills of one of the water monkeys: "Do you see the hair growing on this side?" ”

I nodded and said I saw it.

"Just like fish, you can take some aquatic plants and wet them and put them on their gills, and they can leave the water for a while." Xiangjiang ghost said.

"Just like we raise crabs?" I laughed and said, "Just take a wet towel and cover it, that means that, right?" ”

As soon as the Xiangjiang ghost waved his hand, those water monkeys screamed twice, and they all turned around and ran down the mountain.

Seeing that they ran down the hill seemed to be quite urgent, much faster than the speed of going up the mountain, and they did not hesitate to run to the shore, and jumped into the water in a hurry.

At the same time, the footsteps in the woods were already very close to us, and my eyes did not wander over the water monkeys, but began to scan left and right.

Soon, the neighbors mentioned by the Xiangjiang ghost came out of the woods one after another.

They didn't get too close to us, they all stood at the edge of the woods, looking cautiously at me as a stranger.

To be honest, when I saw them, my mind was confused.

Fuck me.

What the are these monsters?!

"Grandpa Xiang...... Who is he? ”

The "person" who speaks should still be a child in terms of figure, but in any case, I don't think it can be related to the word "person".

Even if I can be sure that it is a living creature, like humans, it lives on breath, but it .......

It's too deformed.

It's like a child with burned skin, his skin is swollen and red, and many places are twisted into knots, and not only..... It also has five eyes on its right arm....... It's a human eye!

Those eyes are all moving, no different from normal human eyes, they can all turn and blink separately, and they all seem to have their own consciousness, and my scalp is numb.

As for the rest of the "neighbors", this is also the case.

All of them are alive and all of them are humanoid, but none of them look normal, all of them are distorted and deformed...... You can almost call it a monster!

Either the head is flattened like a cake, or a baby-like arm has been born on the arm, or there are two mouths on the face.......

Am I dreaming??

What the hell is this?!!

"He doesn't seem to like us." The monster, who spoke like a child, suddenly muttered a sentence and took a half step back, clearly hostile to me.

The ghost of Xiangjiang glanced at me and said, don't be afraid, these are all neighbors.

"Neighbor..... Neighbor? I smiled awkwardly, forcibly stabilized my emotions, didn't dare to show anything else on my face, looked at them politely, and said hello: "Hello, my name is Shen Shi'an, it's ......"

"He's someone from the outside?" The kid interrupted me and asked the ghost of Xiangjiang.

"Yes." Xiangjiang ghost nodded: "He is your friend, not an enemy." ”

Hearing the words of the Xiangjiang ghost, the eyes of these "people" standing at the edge of the woods also changed a little, at least the hostility was not as strong as just now.

"Master Xiang, you have been in the outside world for so long, have you brought us any fun back?" The kid asked, looking away from me and looking at the Xiangjiang ghost expectantly.

Hearing this question, the Xiangjiang ghost seemed to be a little distressed, as if he had forgotten this stubble, and his expression became embarrassed.

I have to say that seeing the iceberg face of the Xiangjiang ghost suddenly become so subtle, I really want to laugh.

"Forget." Xiangjiang ghost scratched his head, his face full of helplessness: "This time it's too troublesome, I don't have time to buy those gadgets, wait for the next time." ”

After receiving this answer, the child also looked a little lost, as if his facial features were also distorted by severe burns.

"Master Xiang, it's been so many years, and you've only been out once....... How long will it take next time? ”

Without waiting for the Xiangjiang ghost to say anything, I put my hand in my bag, fumbled in the outermost bag for a while, and after a while, I took out a bag of chocolate candy.

Before going to Heilong Mountain, Chen Qiuyan stuffed it in my bag, saying that it was spare food, and it was used to satisfy hunger when I was hungry.

"Master Xiang, didn't you buy this?" I said quietly, and gave Xiangjiang Ghost a look with a smile: "Isn't this the candy you bought?" Why did you forget? ”

"Ah...... Ah yes! Xiangjiang ghost slapped his head and pretended to remember it suddenly: "Isn't this the candy I bought!" ”

To be honest, Xiangjiang ghosts really can't act, and they don't look like the kind of people who can lie.

From beginning to end, his expression revealed a "fake" word, and any child who came over could pierce him.

But the strange thing is that those people who look strange and look like no one can see that he is acting, but they all seem very excited, looking at the sugar bag in my hand, there is a sense of loss and recovery.

The kid seemed to be the most courageous, and when he saw something new, he wasn't afraid of me, a stranger, and ran to the Xiangjiang ghost in a few steps, looked at me cautiously, and asked, "Is this food?" ”

I smiled, pulled out a chocolate candy, peeled off the candy wrapper, and handed it to it.

"Taste?"

The strange-looking child didn't take the candy right away, but first glanced at the Xiangjiang ghost, and when he saw him nodding, he took it and sniffed it in front of his nose.

"It's a strange smell." The child muttered, "But it smells good." ”

Immediately afterward, it slowly opened its mouth and threw the chocolate candy in.

At that moment, I could clearly see that the teeth in the child's mouth were not ordinary, almost like the teeth of a wild beast, and even more terrifying than the teeth of a beast, all cone-shaped, and the tip was extremely sharp and sharp.

It chewed the candy, its eyes widened wider and wider, and it seemed reluctant to swallow it, and it still held it in its mouth and chewed it for a long time.

"Is it delicious?" I asked tentatively.

It nodded, then looked at the sugar bag in my hand, and didn't make a sound.

"Still want to eat?" I laughed, handed the bag in my hand, and motioned for it to take it for itself.

This kid was not greedy, he carefully took a piece of candy, and he was not in a hurry to eat it, he held it in the palm of his hand and said thank you to me very seriously.

I don't know why, seeing the deformed and distorted smile on its face, I just feel a little sad beyond words.

When the child saw that I didn't speak, as if he thought it was thanking me for not hearing it, he took the courage to amplify his voice a little.

"Thank you, big brother......"

I looked at the smile on its face and couldn't help but laugh along.

"You're welcome."
