The evil thing is that Zhiqing ran desperately, and the white mist behind them floated even faster. It's really like there is a demon in the legend, so scared that the two of them are sweating like rain and their legs are weak!
Just when the two of them were so frightened that their souls were not possessed, a person flashed out from the side mountain road, and at the same time, the exit beckoned them: "Uncle Chen...... Don't panic. ”
Zhiqing and Liu Wengen stopped and looked at the person carefully.
"My mother, Xiao Zhongkui, are you going to scare people to death?" When he saw Zhong Kui, Wen Gen's body went limp, and he fell to the ground with a thud. While gasping hard, he grumbled.
Zhiqing was a little more steady, and he also gasped for breath, but silently raised his finger and pointed to the white mist that came suddenly to show Zhong Kui.
Zhong Kui casually glanced at the white haze, and said to Zhiqing and the others: "It's okay, let's keep quiet, it will disappear automatically later." ”
Wen Gen was skeptical of Zhong Kui's words.
Zhiqing felt that Zhong Kui's words had a certain logic.
In Zhiqing's eyes, Zhong Kui was originally a legend. Since he is a legend, he must have something special. Then what he said must have a reason.
The three of them lay still on the ground, silently glancing at the white mist, and slowly retreated into the strange forest.
"Shhhh Scared to death. Wen Gen, supported by Zhong Kui, exhaled a heavy breath and whispered. As if afraid of the terrible mist again, he quickly covered his mouth, not daring to continue the second sentence.
Zhong Kui saw that Zhiqing's face was also not good-looking, and he knew that this time he was scared a lot.
"Uncle Chen is fine, you can talk as much as you like here."
"You...... Explain to me what happened. Zhiqing got up from the ground, propped up his waist, glanced at the mysterious forest, and looked at Zhong Kui with a depressed breath and said.
"Let's talk as we go!" Zhong Kui wanted to reach out to help Zhiqing, but was rejected by the other party waving his hand.
"Hmmm! Go ahead! ”
Zhiqing is in front, Wengen is on the side, and Zhong Kui is behind. The three of them talked as they walked.
Zhong Kui said: "When you come to this forest, remember to make a sound, once it sounds, a white mist will come out of the sky. The mist contains a large amount of miasma, and the miasma will be difficult to breathe with the human respiratory system being inhaled into the lungs in large quantities, and in severe cases, there will be suffocation, foaming at the mouth and even death. ”
"Ahh No wonder! Zhiqing suddenly realized. Remembering the scene at the edge of the forest just now, he felt terrified.
After listening to Zhong Kui's explanation, the disgraced Wengen was silent. At this moment, he was in his heart, and completely convinced the little bastard in front of him who didn't seem to be very good.
Zhiqing thought of the children Zhong Kui said, so he asked curiously, "What about the children you brought?" ”
Zhiqing's words were right, and he was slightly stunned, his legs kicked heavily, and he slid step by step and stepped on the crawling grass on the side of the road.
As twilight approached, the tall and short figures of the three walked on the winding mountain road, and the momentary speechless silence was very depressing.
Liu Wengen thought that Zhong Kui hadn't heard the master's question, so he added in time: "Zhong Kui, my master asked you!" ”
Zhong Kui sighed and said, "I still don't say it, so as not to scare you." ”
Zhong Kui's kindness is that he will be afraid to think that Wen Gen is timid and afraid to say things.
But this guy didn't know what to do, thinking that Zhong Kui had deliberately made up things to toss the two of them before, so he used the agitation method to say: "What kind of child, you lied to amuse you!" ”
Chapter 077: Panic
Zhong Kui did not refute Wengen's unreasonable accusations. He raised his eyes to look at the reckless mountains and forests, and said to the two of them in a faint tone: "I'll show you something later, and you will understand what's going on." ”
Because it was too late, it was too late to rush back to the county seat, so Zhiqing decided to rest at Xia Laohan's house tonight.
The colors of dusk had not yet completely disappeared, and a vague full moon rose in mid-air.
It seems that tonight is another unusual night of a full moon, and the full moon is dark red throughout. The dark red full moon gives people a faint and indescribable weirdness.
Zhong Kui, who was walking behind, raised his eyes and caught a glimpse of the full moon, and his heart trembled slightly. Retract your gaze from a distance and stare at Zhiqing's broad back in front of you. An inexplicable haze instantly filled my mind, and a cold wind blew on my face. He suddenly felt a faint sense of unease, like a thorn full of sixth sense.
Night was expected to fall, and the outlines of the distant mountains blurred and the trees became a dark scene.
found Zhong Kui, but did not see the children he said. This somewhat puzzled Zhiqing, although he was mentally prepared to know that Zhong Kui always did something unusual, and he felt a little unacceptable alien in all aspects.
But if it was really like Wengen said, Zhong Kui was deliberately joking or bluffing them, saying something about the orphans of Youmenling Village, then it would be too undeserved.
For the sake of the children that Zhong Kui said, the two of them temporarily gave up patrolling Xia Zhi'an's whereabouts. Unexpectedly, the children didn't see it, but scared him and Wengen so much that they lost two souls.
Thinking like this, Zhiqing's heart instantly cooled, but he pushed himself to the forefront for Zhong Kui. If anything else really happens, it's that you can't eat and walk around.
Wen Gen rushed forward tiredly, looking very scared, and didn't dare to stop for a while.
I don't know who said that, walking at night is faster than during the day. Sure enough, under the time of Zhiqing's budget half an hour earlier, the three of them quickly returned to Xia Laohan's house.
Although Wengen is timid, he thinks he has a good cooking skill. When he returned to Xia Laohan's house, he plunged into the stove and prepared a simple dinner to fill his stomach.
Cooking is based on a variety of ingredients, and it is the most extravagant idea to have all kinds of cooking ingredients in this poor country. Wengen found half a bag of salt in a wooden cabinet in the stove, and there was nothing left of soybean oil or anything.
Accompanied by Zhong Kui and Zhiqing, Wen Gen pulled half of the rotten cabbage that had withered by the river.
There was no rice, but fortunately the tank of clear water was still edible. A pot of water and half a rotten cabbage was boiled in a smoky fire, Wengen sprinkled a little salt into the pot, stirred it with wooden chopsticks, and ate a bowl of rotten cabbage with water.
After dinner, the dark red full moon slowly climbed up the treetops. Zhong Kui took out the cloth bag in his hand and explained the story that had happened before to Zhiqing and Wengen.
In the cloth bag is the half-dead soul that Zhong Kui rescued in the purple bamboo forest, and what is a half-dead soul has its own explanation later.
Anyway, Zhiqing and Wengen saw that after Zhong Kui opened the cloth bag, a few faint shadows flew out of it.
The shadows gradually formed a human form in the space, bowed to Zhong Kui, who released them, and disappeared into the inky darkness of the night in the blink of an eye.
Zhiqing and Wengen were stunned to see the scene happening in front of them, looked at each other at Zhong Kui, and asked in unison, "What did you put just now?" ”
