readx;
At this critical moment. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info Wu Zhiyuan rushed over with an arrow step. Fly up with a kick. Kicked on the hairy man's thigh. This kick is fast. Great force. But the hairy man has a tiger's back. It just shook it. And he didn't fall.
Maoren's attention shifted to Wu Zhiyuan. It glared at Wu Zhiyuan angrily. A mouthful of white teeth was exposed. It seems to be a demonstration to Wu Zhiyuan.
Wu Zhiyuan threw the Blood Shadow Demon Knife in the air. Draw a blood-red arc. The hairy man looked horrified when he saw this. Just now, his companion was cut off by the Blood Shadow Demon Knife. This obviously made it feel uneasy. The demonstrative expression on his face suddenly disappeared without a trace.
"Get out." Wu Zhiyuan shouted. Reach out and point to the woods on the west side.
Although the hairy people are only beasts. But it's still a life. If it weren't for life and death. Wu Zhiyuan couldn't bear to hurt it. So just kicked with my feet. Instead of directly chopping with a knife.
The hairy man paused. seemed to understand what Wu Zhiyuan meant. He glanced down at the old woman lying on the ground. There is unwillingness. But he was still intimidated by the power of the Blood Shadow Demon Blade. He turned and ran in the direction of the woods. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared into the gray night.
Wu Zhiyuan stepped forward and held the old woman in the crook of his arm. Concerned: "Mother-in-law." How are you. ”
The old woman's face turned pale. There was still blood hanging from the corners of his mouth. She slowly opened her eyes. But he didn't look at Wu Zhiyuan. Instead, look at the creek not far away. An incomprehensible wry smile was revealed.
"It's done. it......," the old woman muttered to herself. Keep your eyes fixed on the direction of the river.
Wu Zhiyuan turned his head to look at Xiaohe suspiciously. In the dim light. You can still see that the river has dried up at some point. The leaves of a few duckweed trees are laid on the silt. It looks lifeless.
"The river is dry." Wu Zhiyuan lost his voice. He also went to the river last night to collect duckweed. At that time, the river was full of water. Didn't expect it to be in such a short period of time. The river actually dried up.
The old woman did not answer. But his breathing suddenly became rapid. His chest was constantly rising and falling. Spat out another mouthful of blood. Wu Zhiyuan hurriedly straightened her. But there is nothing to be done.
The old woman gasped hard. The corners of the mouth are slightly upturned. A mysterious smile flashed. She said slowly: "Dry period...... Here we go......" The last two words were very soft. As small as a mosquito and a fly. Barely audible.
Wu Zhiyuan hurriedly asked, "Mother-in-law, what did you say?" The dry season is coming. ”
The old woman had already closed her eyes. Heard Wu Zhiyuan's words. He slowly opened his eyes again. looked at Wu Zhiyuan with difficulty. Intermittently said: "Huaisu Tingli...... Yes...... Raft. Go for it......"
As soon as the words are finished. The old woman died. His hands hung limply.
Wu Zhiyuan shook the old woman's shoulder. Shouted a few times. I knew that she had passed away. I had to suppress the grief in my heart. Pick up the old woman's body. Walk towards the village.
This old woman is eccentric. But Wu Zhiyuan has never meant to harm him. On the contrary, it also revealed a lot of unknown secrets to him. Wu Zhiyuan is kind-hearted. I can't bear to see her body outside. So I want to send her back to the stone house.
The old woman was old and frail. Thin and small. So Wu Zhiyuan didn't feel hard holding her body. A moment later. Then he returned to the old woman's stone house.
The oil lamp in the stone house was still on. On the west side are two wooden beds. It was supposed to be used by the old woman and her son to sleep at night. Wu Zhiyuan placed the old woman's body on one of the beds.
Looking at the serene face of the old woman. Wu Zhiyuan remembered what she said on her deathbed. She mentions the Waisu Pavilion and the raft. Apparently telling Wu Zhiyuan to go to Huaisu Pavilion to look for the raft. The raft is a tool for crossing the water. The old woman's words may have been telling him. Prop up the raft and go to Poyang Lake to find Zixu Pingshi.
This is the end of my mind. Wu Zhiyuan hurriedly turned around and wanted to walk out of the house. Go to the neighborhood and look for the Waisu Pavilion. Just walked to the door of the house. He suddenly saw a white shadow appear outside the courtyard gate.
Exactly. That's really a shadow. And it's a white fluorescent shadow. The shadow stood out in the dim darkness of the night. It seems that it belongs to this world at all.
Wu Zhiyuan was taken aback. Hurriedly retreated to the house. But he saw the shadow passing through the gate of the courtyard. He came in the direction of the house.
The shadow doesn't have to move. It's like it's floating. Wu Zhiyuan couldn't even see its limbs and head clearly. It gives a very clear feeling. But if you look closely, you find it extremely vague.
This kind of weird thing is the first time Wu Zhiyuan has seen it. At this moment he concluded that this was the monster that the old woman was talking about. It's not the mountain ghost I guessed at first.
I saw the shadow getting closer and closer to the stone house. Wu Zhiyuan looked around the room. I found that there was no place to stay. His gaze finally fell on the two fur skins on the stove. Don't think about it. He grabbed a furry skin and draped it over his body. Then he lay down on another wooden bed on the west side of the house.
Maoren's figure was originally taller than Wu Zhiyuan. So this skin is draped over the body. Wrapped Wu Zhiyuan tightly from head to toe. Wu Zhiyuan only exposed a small gap. Through the gaps, you can see what is going on inside the house.
There was silence in the room. Wu Zhiyuan hid under the skin of the fur. I can clearly hear my own pounding heartbeat.
The dim oil light flickered a few times from time to time. The atmosphere in the room was indescribably strange.
Only a few moments later. There was no sound. The shadow that glowed with a faint white fluorescence appeared in Wu Zhiyuan's field of vision.
The distance is so close. Wu Zhiyuan is enough to see this strange shadow thoroughly. However, to his surprise. No matter how hard he looked. The shadow always gave people a trance-like feeling. It seems very clear. But it's not clear at all.
Wu Zhiyuan didn't dare to breathe. He didn't know what this shadow was. In case it finds itself hiding here. The consequences are hard to predict. Because the rule in this village since ancient times is when monsters appear on the first night of the dry season. No one is allowed to enter this stone house. There must be a reason for this.
Wu Zhiyuan thought about it. While observing the movement of the shadow. I saw it standing quietly in front of the calligraphy and painting hanging on the wall due north. The body is motionless. Wu Zhiyuan was lying on its side though. But I couldn't see its face at all. I can't even see if it has a face.
I don't know how long it has been. The shadow just stood motionless in front of the calligraphy and painting. It's as if it's really just a shadow from a still life.
Just when Wu Zhiyuan was a little sleepy. The shadow suddenly moved. There was no warning. I saw it float in front of the calligraphy and painting. Slowly raise an arm. Wu Zhiyuan didn't see it reach out to pick up the calligraphy and painting. I saw the calligraphy and painting slowly fall to the ground. The bronze mirror hanging behind the calligraphy and painting immediately appeared in front of the shadow.
Wu Zhiyuan held his breath and concentrated. Staring at the shadow closely. I saw it slowly drift towards the bronze mirror.
