The Land of Yoro Chapter 2 The House That Never Disappears
I simply threw the bamboo pole, lit both torches, held one in one hand, stared at the surroundings with wide eyes, my eyes were so sore that I didn't dare to blink, for fear of missing the possible exit, and silently prayed in my heart for all the gods and Buddhas I knew.
The torches were blown by the wind, and every step was taken cautiously, for fear of crossing the intersection that might exist.
I looked through everything that I thought was suspicious, stones, grass, and even slightly different bamboos, and found nothing. When I walked back to the familiar path, I was afraid to go any further, and the moment I saw the bamboo house, my mind went blank.
There is only one way left in front of me, that is, to return to Baofu Town the same way, and choose another road to move forward, I sighed and shook my head, looking at the bamboo house, the unspeakable hatred in my heart, gritted my teeth, threw the torch in my hand, and drew a beautiful arc high in the sky, like a meteor, over the wall, directly into the house, with a thick smoke rising, there was a crackling sound, after a while, the flames jumped to the position of the window, I suddenly found that there seemed to be a person standing in the window, Staring straight at me.
I was startled, and looked closely, but saw that the flames had spread to the walls, and it was strange to say that the house that had just been drenched in the rain was like pouring oil, and it burned without the slightest pause, and in an instant the house fell into a raging sea of fire.
The surroundings were as bright as daylight, and after one last glance at the bamboo house, I turned and stepped on the road from which I came, although it was in vain, but there was also a hint of the pleasure of slashing the enemy.
As the so-called light car is familiar with the road, I held the torch, and thought along the way that I must find a horse gang to accompany me when I go out, hoping that Zeng Weiguo and their movements will not be too fast, and they can leave me some time.
I can't help but think of the second master, where is he now? What is Longchang? Why is it there? Thinking about it, there is only one thing that is certain, this Longchang must not be a paradise on earth, and nine times out of ten it is a hell that requires human life.
After walking for a while, I suddenly found a problem, why is it not dawn yet? From beginning to end, I reviewed everything that had happened from dark to now, and roughly pushed down the time, and I felt that it should be the time when the sky was white, but when I looked up through the gap in the bamboo leaves, the sky was still like midnight, could it be because of the cloudy sky?
The more you walk, the more rugged it becomes, the potholes, the water-stained leaves are wrapped in mud, and they are extremely slippery, so you can only walk carefully one foot deep and one foot shallow, regretting that you shouldn't have thrown the bamboo pole in the first place.
Eyes kept looking around, trying to find a suitable crutch, walked for a while, found that in the grass at the feet, there was a bamboo pole of relatively appropriate thickness, my heart was overjoyed, I ran over to pick it up, and held it in my hand, just a look, all my expressions were frozen at this moment, only to see that this bamboo pole is slightly thicker than the thumb, and one end is cut into an oblique tip, like a bamboo gun.
I shivered and slowly raised my head, and not far away, in the clearing, stood a bamboo hut with half of the roof collapsed.
The bamboo house was quiet, intact, like a monster waiting for an opportunity, squatting there, staring at me calmly and full of murderous energy, the two windows were like two black eyes, and there seemed to be a kind of dementoring power in these black eyes, which wanted to slowly suck me in.
I trembled and knelt down towards the room, and slammed my head into the mud one after another, and the tiny stones pierced my forehead hard, but I didn't feel the slightest pain.
This is the only thing I can do, if it was the original, I would definitely choose to give up, sit here in despair and wait for a miracle or death, not now, the second master is still waiting for me, Lin Xiao's revenge has not been avenged, I must not die here.
Since everything is done by this bamboo house, it doesn't matter if it's a god or a ghost, as long as you can let me out, it doesn't matter what you do.
After knocking for a long time, there was no change around me, I lay on the ground, my heart was like ashes, tears flowed out uncontrollably, from secretly weeping to crying, all the grievances suffered in these days burst out at this moment, crying echoed everywhere in the bamboo forest, and there were bursts of echoes, like ten thousand ghosts together.
I was crying, and suddenly there was a hey laugh in my ears, I stopped abruptly in an instant, instinctively turned my head to look at the source of the laughter, and saw a miserable white woman's face, right on my shoulder, with a mocking look, staring at me, so close that I could even feel the cold air in her eyes.
I stumbled, rolled and crawled out on my side, ripped off the bag on my back, like a madman, crawled forward with my hands and feet, crawled and screamed, took off my clothes, threw it on the ground, stood up, ran desperately into the bamboo forest without looking back, ran a few steps, and there was a hey laugh on my shoulder, I clenched my gurgling teeth, and wanted to look sideways, but before I could see clearly, the person hit the bamboo in front of me and fainted.
In a coma, a woman dressed in white, with her back to me, her waist-length black hair spread out, I looked at her in horror, unable to move, only to hear her say leisurely, "Will you come back?" ”
I was so frightened that I didn't know how to answer, so I hummed casually, and she continued, "Don't be a negative man again, remember to be back in ten days." After saying a smile, I opened my eyes suddenly, found myself lying on the ground, bounced up, but saw the backpack and clothes on the body in good condition, at this time it was already dawn, there was no shadow of the bamboo house around, looked around, found that I could vaguely see the mountains outside the bamboo forest.
Is it a dream? I hurriedly turned my head to look at my back, turned around several times before I was sure that there was nothing, and sighed, it was indeed a dream, but how did I get here? Could it be that you have the legendary nocturnal wanderer?
I don't know if it's sweat or rain, wet and clinging, very uncomfortable, just sit on the ground and light a cigarette first, let yourself calm down, and think while sucking, this dream is too terrifying, too real, but fortunately, I have woken up, how can I get nocturnal syndrome for no reason? This is not a good thing, this road is barren mountains and mountains, this time it is a blessing to be able to get out of the bamboo forest, if one day unconsciously walk to the edge of the cliff and fall, the death is a little too unjust.
I scratched my ears and cheeks and thought about it for a long time, but there was no good way to solve it, so I could only take one step at a time, hoping that my luck would not be too bad.
Stabilized his mind, felt that there was no discomfort on his body, stood up and walked out of the bamboo forest, less than a stick of incense out of the bamboo forest, stepped on the mountain avenue, just on the road to listen to the buzzing gong sound from behind, hurriedly stopped, took out a few pieces of ocean from the bag and put it into his arms.
A team of caravans lined up along the avenue slowly, the head mule is fat and strong, brown-red fur, oily and slippery, wearing red cloth flowers, so not majestic, followed by the second mule, the third mule is also energetic, strong, it seems that this caravan has some strength.
The head was a young man, with a navy blue cloth head, a black coarse cloth trouser gown, a column of open breasts, and bronzed skin, as strong as a mule.
I hurriedly strode up to meet him, he saw me stunned at first, and then froze in horror, he stopped, and the whole horse team behind him stopped, only to hear a loud roar behind him: "Three babies, what's the situation!" ”
Don't say it's me, even the mules were scared, and a bird fluttered in the forest, and the young man called Sanwazi trembled, staring at me without looking back and replied: "Ninth master, there is a person." ”
Before the words fell, a short man of forty or fifty years old walked out from behind him, also with a black cloth head, wearing a coarse cloth shorts and gown, with a waist knife hanging from his waist, and a cigarette pouch obliquely inserted on the other, his eyes were as wide as cowbells, shooting with sperm, and his dark face was full of beards.
When the ninth master came out to see me, he was also stunned, but after all, he was a person who had walked the rivers and lakes for many years, and he was the head of the cauldron, so he was stunned for a few seconds, and then turned his head and shouted at the three boys: "You melon baby, one person will scare you into this cowardice, and you are embarrassed to be the head of the three pots?" The third baby couldn't raise his head when he scolded him, and the young man in his twenties was red-faced, like a child who had done something wrong.
After the ninth master scolded, he turned around and stared at me with a frown and asked, "What are you doing?" ”
I hurriedly said with a smile on my face: "Daguotou, I want to go to Guilin, Guangxi, but I got lost in this mountain, and I want to follow your horse gang for a while, I don't know if it's convenient?" ”
Instead of answering directly, he asked, "You came out of there?" Saying that, I pointed to the bamboo forest behind me with my hand, I nodded, and before he could react, the three babies behind him heard it, and their eyes were about to come out, and they stretched out their hands to pull the placket of the ninth master's clothes, and the ninth master turned him on with his hand, and his head shook like a rattle: "Either way, or not, you can't go along the way, you find someone else." ”
After speaking, he turned his head and shouted to the back: "Let's go!" "I'm going to pass by my side, the three babies don't take me when they hear it, and they let out a long sigh of relief, as soon as I see it, I was anxious on the spot, who knows how many caravans can be passed on this road in a day? And obviously, they didn't take me, not because they didn't stop by, but because of the bamboo forest, it seems that they know the secrets of this bamboo forest very well, no, even if it is to know what is going on in the bamboo forest, they have to let them take me anyway.
I stretched out my hand and took out the silver dollar from my arms, ran to the ninth master and said: "The cauldron, I will follow you for a while, you can rest assured, you have the final say on this way, as long as I can get out of Sichuan, I will not bother a little more, this is a little meaning, you take it first." ”
Jiu Ye didn't look at it, pushed it with his hand, shook his head, and continued to walk forward, I looked, I was really anxious, and I was about to continue chasing, only to hear a woman behind the third baby say: "Lei Dangjia is so generous." ”
Before I could react, another man said unhappily, "Hmph, poor man." ”
I heard the female voice before, and I was wondering if it was her, but when this man spoke, I directly pulled the gun out, and a few words popped out from between my teeth: "Cui Dali, you come out for me!" ”
Seeing me pull out the gun, a cold light flashed behind me, the ninth master's waist knife was unsheathed, and his hand was directly on my neck, and the third baby took off the earthen gun with a beast fork from the donkey, and stared at me in his hand.
The second master said as he walked: "Look, what am I talking about, he can't be funny, he's so anxious, you see, even the second master doesn't call him anymore." ”
Li Yuanmei, who was beside her, smashed her mouth and said: "How can the dignified Lei master be like a bandit, pull out a gun at every turn, this problem is not good, it has to be changed." ”
