Chapter Twenty-Seven: Old Man?
I didn't ask him why he went to find out the exact location of the old man at night, but chose to take his word for it. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
When things are set, meaningless questions can only be answered without help.
So I didn't continue to be curious, but rested beside the bandits, and antagonized Ah Gong in front and back.
……
Soon, in the dead of night, the palpitating night came.
All we could see in the oasis was a glittering star, and the moonlight, which shone with a little moonlight, overshadowed a little darkness, so that we had not completely lost sight.
The bandit was already snoring, and I was watching over him next to him, he had been tired all day, and I hoped that he would have a good night's sleep.
After booing at me, Ah Gong bent down and stepped out of this place,
His movements were so light that I could barely hear the sound of Soso, and he disappeared, as if to merge with the night.
I can't know how far away the old man's location is from here, but Ah Gong's methods are different, and even if he can't know the old man's location, he can still protect himself in this unknown chaotic forest.
So I wasn't too worried, and I didn't want to sleep, because there was a bandit next to me, and if I fell asleep, something might happen.
Let's wait for Grandpa to come back and then go to sleep, I thought to myself.
I found a rock to keep close to me, and if something dangerous jumped, I thought I would be able to shoot it to death.
I looked at the stars in the sky, and suddenly my heart welled up with thoughts of home, and what the ancient poet said was true.
"Raise your head to look at the stars, bow your head and think of your parents"
Although I am not lying in bed now, the thoughts in my heart are not diminished at all.
The snoring of the bandits interrupted my thoughts.
I covered my ears impatiently, but I didn't really dislike him, because he saved me a few times along the way, if it was ancient times, if he dared to be so unreasonable to Engong, it would be a thousand cuts.
I don't know how long it took for my eyelids to start fighting, and they were fighting so hard that I couldn't let my body fall down.
Ah Gong has been gone for a long time, and he hasn't returned yet.
I'm a little scared, I don't know anyone here, could it be that something happened to make him stranded?
With Ah Gong's skills, eighty percent will not fall into danger.
I sighed and pinched my thighs hard, pulling my brain back to sobriety.
Feeling the pain, I looked up, and at some point, there was a lot of mist on the water, and the brightness of the moonlight was reduced a lot, and I could almost only see what was around me, and everything in the distance was swallowed up by darkness.
Suddenly, in a daze, I heard the sound of something crawling behind me.
My heart began to beat violently, my whole body tensed, and I became defensive.
In a few seconds, I could even feel the thing staring at me from behind.
The sound of exhalation was heard, and my whole body shuddered at the sound of cold breathing.
I was about to scream, but my mouth was violently covered by something with residual heat.
"Hmm......"
I thought I was going to be abused, so I quickly got up and resisted, my whole body moving and my feet kicking the ground in a vain attempt to break free from the clutches of the thing.
"Don't move!"
I felt the hand that was clutching my mouth loosen a little, giving me room to move, and I stopped, looked up, and saw a handsome face glaring at me, full of seriousness.
"Damn, Grandpa"
I was shocked, but instead of shouting too loudly, I gently took his hand away, turned to him and asked, "What's going on?" ”
Seeing that I was no longer flustered, he put his finger to his mouth to signal me not to make noise, but waved at me, and then turned himself again and slowly crawled back to the route he had come.
I believe I managed to read what he meant -- to tell me to follow.
I bent down and followed him like a pug on all fours.
I didn't stand up, I didn't ask too much why, I just did what he did.
At least Ah Gong didn't mean to hurt me, and I should be able to follow him to explore the way with peace of mind.
Or is it that he is lonely along the way and wants to take me to boo?
We climbed more than a dozen meters and found that there was a fallen tree in front of us blocking the way, but there was a horizontal space under the tree for people to pass through.
When I saw this, I thought it was wise to think that this was the reason why Ah Gong asked me to lie down, so that we could pass through.
He walked to the front and stopped and turned to look at me, I ignored him, thinking that he was trying to wait for me to advance, so I climbed forward by myself, and just wanted to bow my head to get through, but he grabbed me.
"Don't move" Ah Gong shook his head at me, he didn't seem to dare to make much movement, and said, "Look inside"
I nodded a little confused, not understanding what he meant, but I did so, and took a few steps back, aiming my eyes at the faintly glowing gap in the trunk.
This look made me lose my senses.
"Grass"
I cursed almost indiscriminately.
Because the scene inside really made me confused the whole time: I saw an old man who hadn't appeared for a long time, holding a piece of cooked roast chicken in his hand and chewing it openly.
My first impression of him was naturally very exciting, because it not only meant that we could find a way out safely, but also learn the truth from him.
But what I didn't expect was that next to him, there was a naked body, revealing pale flesh.
The man did not gnaw like an old man, but carried a porcelain bowl filled with bright red blood, which swayed slightly.
And he was slowly pouring the contents of the porcelain bowl into his mouth, and some of it was flowing out of his mouth, which was extremely bright and looked terrible.
Who is this man?
His face was pale, his body was half naked, his scarlet eyes were extremely terrifying, and the corners of his mouth occasionally showed an evil smile, as if the temperature around him had dropped a little.
Water ghost, it's him again.
At this time, in addition to surprise, my heart was filled with an indescribable sense of powerlessness.
The old man actually rested with the water ghost, and sat and sucked blood, it seemed that he was having a dinner?
I think this situation is beyond all the scope of what I can accept.
It almost gave me a sense of despair that I had never felt before.
Didn't they collude to trick me into coming here, trying to get that water ghost to kill me and then have a full meal?
I glanced at my grandfather with horror, and found that he was lying next to me and staring inside, and there was no surprise in his eyes, but he frowned, as if he was guessing something.
"This ......"
I tried to ask him a question, but I swallowed it again.
Perhaps, I can't trust them anymore.
