Chapter Twenty-Three: All the Way East

"Nima!"

My hair blew up, and without saying a word, I turned around and ran east. Something is coming, and if you can't get it, it's the thing that the corpse worships, the yellow-haired crow's mouth, and it's a prophecy.

The yin style was violent, and the whine was blowing from behind, and I only felt the cold back of my back, as if an air conditioner was blowing at the back of my head.

My neck was stiff, and I didn't dare to look back, so I ran all the way forward, because Huang Mao said that I must not turn back, and I must keep running.

However, no matter how much I run, I can't shake off the yin wind behind me.

My intuition tells me that there is 100% something behind me, maybe just waiting for the moment I turn around and kill me, otherwise Huang Mao will not emphasize it.

I was so annoyed that I was almost ready to go back to the store, and the time must have passed.

But the frustration was useless, and I ran in the direction of the east, which happened to be the way out of the country. The road was pitch black, dead silent, save for my heavy breathing and the sound of the wind howling.

As I ran, I felt that my physical strength could not hold on, and I was panting like a cow, but the yin wind behind me followed closely and did not stop for a moment.

I was sweating like a pulp, and my speed inevitably slowed down, dragging my heavy steps forward, terrified, terrified that if I stopped, the thing behind me would rush up and kill me.

I gradually despaired, it was only nine o'clock now, and I didn't know how long I was going to run, and Huang Mao's last words were cut off.

But I can guess that at least midnight, this kind of marathon run is not something I can afford at all, especially when the nerves are highly stressed.

As time passed, my physical strength became worse and worse, my steps faltered, and I would fall to the ground at any time and not be able to get up.

At the last moment, I gritted my teeth and stretched out my pocket to grab the peach pit inside and prepare to turn around and fight hard, death is not terrible, the feeling of waiting for death is terrible, it is better to let go of it if it is killed.

It's not going to be too powerful, otherwise why wait for me to turn around or stop? It is better to give it a go, maybe there is still life, than to be exhausted to death.

I grabbed three of them, my whole body tensed, and just as I turned around, a low shout came from in front of me: "Don't look back!" ”

I was suddenly frightened, this voice is too familiar, Chen Laogen!

Looking at the moonlight, I saw a figure standing in front of me, who was Chen Laogen, holding an umbrella in his hand, standing there like a sculpture.

"Walk slowly, don't stop, don't look back!"

Chen Laogen spoke to me again, I couldn't see his face clearly, but I could feel his gaze skip over me, staring at the area behind me.

I instinctively felt a little strange in my mind, how could Chen Laogen appear here in the middle of the night? Feel like you're waiting for me here? Also, bring an umbrella on the big night?

But this thought was filtered out in an instant, and there was no energy to think about it at the moment of life and death.

I swallowed a mouthful of saliva, my throat was so dry that it could smoke, and I walked slowly over, my whole body tense.

Soon, I walked up to Chen Laogen, only to see his eyes shining, staring at me deadly, slowly turning the umbrella in his hand upside down, and grasping the tip of the umbrella with both hands. Then with a "whew", he swept it hard against my back with a parachute hook.

"Squeak!"

"Smack!"

With a sound like a rat's scream, I felt a sudden light on my back, and then I heard something hit the ground.

When I turned around, I gasped!

It was something, it was pitch black, with a face like a monkey, but it was as thin as a dried corpse, with green eyes, and limbs like spiders, and there were six of them, and it was impossible to tell if it was four legs and two hands, or four hands and two legs.

It rolled twice on the ground, screamed twice, staggered into the darkness ahead, and vanished.

This glimpse made me feel like falling into an ice cave, because I had encountered it, that is, the last time I was tied up the mountain by the Feng family to guard Feng Deliang's spirit, I had never seen them, but I had glimpsed their eyes, green, and I couldn't be wrong.

This thing was lying on his back all the way, but he didn't know anything about it, and it wasn't until it was knocked down that he felt how dangerous it was to feel light on his back. If you turn around and use the fire walnut to forget to smash it behind, the result must be to smash the air, because it is lying behind you, that scene, thinking about it, you feel that your legs are weak, and your life is really big.

"So, what's that?" I asked with trepidation.

Chen Laogen glanced at me, "It's a mandrill, a kind of half-evil and half-living monster, haunting the depths of the jungle, cowardly and afraid of people. ”

"This ...... Still timid and scared? "I don't know why, when it was lying on my back, I didn't see it afraid of me.

Chen Laogen's tone was slightly solemn, "This thing usually doesn't go down the mountain at all, and most of the people who attack people have become minions, and there is something behind it to instruct it." ”

"What?" I was taken aback, he understood very clearly, mandrills were just minions, and there were more powerful things behind him that didn't shoot. Instinctively, I remembered the direction of worship of Liu Erlong's father's corpse, to the west, which was also facing the direction of my shop. Behind my store is the Jinpenling, which is more than 2,000 meters high.

Combined with Chen Laogen's repeated telling me not to enter the mountain, is it ...... Is there really something in the mountains? Or did the things that appeared in the village come down from the mountains?

Jinpen Township is named after the existence of Jinpenling. The vast mountain range radiated by the entire Jinpenling is a semi-primitive forest area, and the three state-owned forest farms have only developed a small part of it for decades.

There are all kinds of legends in it, and I grew up listening to the older generation talk about the big ones, saying that there are mountain ghosts, wild people, and even the legendary terrifying man-eating ants.

But the question is, how to explain that there are a lot of fresh faces in the township recently, they are not from the mountains, such as Huang Mao, that guy is still tight-lipped, and the newly transferred police station director is also suspicious.

As soon as the two questions are combined, it seems as if something in the township has attracted them/them, so that the township has become a whirlpool, and all kinds of tricks have emerged one after another.

I don't know if that's the right thing to do, but at least it's a direction.

At this moment, two beams of light shone from behind, it was a car, it should be someone who had returned from the county.

Chen Laogen glanced back, his face changed slightly, and said to me: "You stop the car and go back, don't tell anyone what happened just now." With that, he left the road and walked into a bush, shook it twice, and then disappeared, looking a little hurried.

I was suspicious, why did he go to the field at night, not afraid of being bitten by snakes?

This summer is hot and dry, and many snakes are forced to come out at night to suck dew, and if they are not careful, they will really step on it.

Originally, I still had a stomach of questions I wanted to ask him, but now I have no chance.

Soon, the car was approaching, and with a turn of the high beams, it slowly stopped in front of me.

"Is that you?" Some familiar voices came.

I took a closer look, and it was actually Director Wang of the police station, driving a police car, he glanced at the bushes where Chen Laogen left, and asked, "Are you alone?" ”

I nodded and said, "Can you give me a ride?" ”

"Come on!" Director Wang waved his hand and said very simply, and continued to drive towards the township after I got in the car.

I thought he would ask me a few words, after all, he is the head of the police station in the township, and he has the obligation to maintain law and order, and it is completely his duty to interrogate me when he encounters strange things.

As a result, he didn't make a sound on the road, silently parked the car in front of my store, and the bunch of words I had come up with didn't come in handy.

I said thank you and opened the door and got out of the car, I wanted to send him to go first and then go in, but he didn't mean to leave at all, but said to me, "Come in." ”

I was so weak that I couldn't say anything, so I thanked him and told him to go back and rest early, and closed the door.

After closing the door, I kept listening to the movement outside, and it turned out that his car was not leaving. This made me feel even more wrong, but I didn't think too much about it and went to take a shower.

As a result, I peeked out the window after taking a shower, and he was still there, and it had been half an hour. After that, it was a longer hour...... For two hours, it wasn't until one o'clock in the morning that he drove away.

I don't understand what he meant, if the car broke down, and I didn't see him go down to repair it, and I couldn't hear the sound, so I sat silently in the car, without saying a word, like a sculpture.

I can't figure it out, I don't bother to think about it immediately, anyway, since he was transferred, I felt that something was wrong with him.

In the second half of the night, I fell asleep deeply, I really couldn't stand it, and my two legs ran like noodles, and I was weak. The red-clothed doll did not appear either.

……

When I woke up the next day, I snapped my fingers and clicked it, and found that the red-clothed doll hadn't been here for four days.

This makes me wonder, did she inhale enough yang qi and left? Escaped on your own?

Thinking of this possibility, I can't help but feel a little relaxed and happy, and it would be great if this was the case.

Although the doll in red didn't hurt me, and even faintly helped me once, she is not human at all, intellectually it is ominous to entangle, and a peaceful end is the best result.

What I didn't know was that I was thinking too simply, and the next time she appeared, it was crazy enough for me to doubt my life.
