Chapter 62: The Vanishing Jungle

He Wei lay in the narrow gap between the passages, his eyes tightened, pretending to be a mummy. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 The two thin and dry mouths raised slightly, and he smiled indifferently and said: "I can't walk now, I can't walk, brother, you go first, and I will follow your footsteps soon." ”

Hao Yue's face changed color suddenly, his eyes suddenly widened, he stared at his bruised body with bated breath, and said bluntly: "Then how can I do it, the eldest husband will never break his promise if he says that he will take you to escape together." ”

After Hao Yue finished speaking, he hurriedly tried to drag He Wei out of the gap with his outstretched hands, but he didn't expect to be stopped by He Wei and refused.

He Wei said again: "Big brother, you go first, I'm not afraid of dragging you down, I really don't want to take a step at this moment, your departure is the greatest kindness to me." ”

Hao Yue frowned and said, "What's wrong with you?" Why is it that when you talk today, you can't be stupid just now, right? ”

He Wei suddenly stopped talking, lying on his side in the gap without any movement. After a few seconds, he was snoring and sleeping like a dead man.

Hao Yue shook his head helplessly and sighed: "Hey, since you insist on this, please take care of yourself, take care, I'll leave first, and we'll see you again." ”

Hao Yue gave him a meaningful look, then turned around and climbed to the top of the cave, and soon he disappeared without a trace.

At this time, He Wei raised his head slightly, squinted his eyes and looked ahead. He watched carefully for a few moments before slowly emerging from the gap and crawling back in the opposite direction.

The passage was already tortuous and uneven, the air was thin, and there was not the slightest light, and he couldn't see his body at all with his head down, so he could only move slowly sideways with his touch.

He Wei's body was bruised by the small stones on the rugged tunnel, and cold blood continued to seep from his festering scalp, all the way to his neck. But he still insisted on supporting the ground with his hands, bowing his head and diving forward desperately.

When he saw a dark light in front of the cave, his heart stirred. He Wei suddenly picked up his speed and crawled all the way to the exit of the cave.

He Wei took a deep breath and slowly raised his head, only to find that the entrance of the cave was already surrounded by countless ghosts, and they all looked at their faces expressionlessly.

The most conspicuous thing in the crowd was the paralyzed face ghost, he suddenly stepped forward, looked down at He Wei's newly drilled head with a dark smile, and said, "Ouch, who is this, where are you going with such an embarrassed look?" ”

He Wei put on an innocent look, looked up at him, and cried out in despair: "Oh no, those two dogs ran away and injured me, you must go and catch them." ”

"It doesn't matter if they run away, I'm curious, why are you here?" The paralyzed face crouched down slowly, looked at him carefully and asked in confusion.

He Wei's head stretched halfway, and suddenly he froze, his face became slightly nervous, and after a few seconds, he continued to speak anxiously: "Oh my God! Don't ask, I fought with them for several rounds in order to capture those dogs, and finally lost the battle, you look at the scars on my body, they are so insidious. ”

"Do you think I'm going to believe you?" The paralyzed face looked at him very seriously, and continued to ask.

He Wei stared at the paralyzed face for several seconds, and then said, "I'll take you to arrest them now, I know where they went." ”

The paralyzed face suddenly laughed indifferently, patted the back of his head lightly, and stood up from the ground unhurriedly, looked at the beams in the room, and said in a loud voice: "No need, the lives of those two fugitives are worthless, there is no need to mobilize the army to gather people to hunt them down." ”

He Wei trembled and swept the afterglow in his pupils to his back, hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "That...... Can I climb out then? ”

"Hahaha! You're not a dog, do you need to report to me? The paralyzed face couldn't help but laugh out loud, and his eyebrows were almost crooked to his nose.

He Wei was immediately annoyed, but he didn't show it, but swallowed his anger and slowly tilted his whole body out of the cave. When he rolled to the ground, he suddenly felt cold behind him, as if he was lying on ice.

There were about twenty or thirty dense ghosts around the vicinity, and their faces were black, as if they had just come out of the coal kiln. When they saw He Wei rolling to the ground, they were so frightened that they took several steps back.

The paralyzed-faced ghost suddenly twisted his neck behind him, tilted his nose and said, "Brothers! Let's go, don't pollute the fresh air here, or we'll smoke some people to death. ”

When the ghosts heard this, they all responded, and rushed out of the door in a scattered manner, their movements all looking listless.

The paralyzed face almost put his hands on his waist, lowered his head and spat out his saliva, pretending to be complacent, and staggered towards the door.

At this time, He Wei stood up with all his strength, looking up at the person in front of him who had already disappeared without a trace. He subconsciously raised his leg and took a small step forward, and suddenly found that his leg caused a sharp pain, and his jeans were stained red with blood seeping out of it.

He Wei squatted down, lifted his trousers and took a look, only to realize that a deep and long cut had been made on his calf, and the wound was swollen, and it was completely impossible to stand up and continue walking.

He Wei immediately shouted towards the door: "Hey, is there anyone, come two people, just two of them." ”

Sure enough, two ghosts rushed in at the door, thin and thin, and their faces looked very sallow, as if they hadn't eaten for hundreds of years. As soon as they walked in, they smiled and beckoned to He Wei, and said happily: "Come, come, we'll help you back." ”

"Wow, you two are so nice, what nice people." He Wei laughed excitedly.

One of the ghosts came up, squinted and said with a wicked smile: "But we have to give each of us a steamed bun and treat us, otherwise we won't have the strength to help you up." ”

"Oh, you want steamed buns, right, steamed buns don't, but I have a dagger, do you think that's okay?" He Wei suddenly took out an iron dagger from his pocket and presented it to them.

"Oh, of course you can, the dagger is better, the dagger is better." The ghost laughed and said, his eyebrows almost curled. As soon as he stretched out his hand, he went over to take the dagger.

He Wei suddenly put away the dagger, his face changed, and he said: "It's okay to give it to you, but you have to help me go back first, and it's not too late for me to give it to you at that time." ”

The skinny little ghost smiled and said, "Hehe, of course you can, we'll take you on the road together." ”

He Weidao: "Then thank you, you are really a good person, it is really rare to meet such a kind-hearted good ghost in the underworld." ”

"Hehe, where, where, this is our responsibility as subordinates." The skinny little ghost chuckled in a low voice, then reached out and helped He Wei up from the ground until he reached the door.

Outside the door, there was blood everywhere, the ground was already stained red, and there were countless piles of bones lying on their bodies, and their bodies were completely skinless, and there were countless arrows in their bodies.

When He Wei saw this scene, he was completely stunned, his forehead was already blue, he looked at the ghost cha on the side, and said, "Are they all dead?" ”

"All dead, all dead, this time the pursuit was a complete victory, there were no casualties on our side, and all the fugitives were killed except for two who slipped away." The skinny little guy looked down and smiled back.

He Wei looked at him with a frightened face and said, "Oh, so that's the case, it's good, it's good." He turned his gaze to the small bridge not far from the village, and then asked, "By the way, did you see a horse when you came, blue?" ”

"I didn't see it, I'm really sorry, when we came, the village was empty, let alone animals, not even a fly, I'm really sorry, I'm sorry."

"Hey, it's okay, it's okay, I'll just ask." He Wei looked left and right at the environment in the village, and couldn't help asking: "By the way, didn't there be a lot of people here before, why are they all gone in a blink of an eye." ”

"Hey, they're all in a hurry to go back and get their rewards, and they're running faster than rabbits, so they have time to stop and stay again." The skinny little guy laughed.

He Wei bowed his head and said, "Well, I understand, don't those two fugitives continue to be arrested?" ”

"Why are you arresting them, in fact, we are here to exterminate them, not really want to arrest them, these years, the war is in chaos, it is good to be able to live by yourself, where is the idle time to care about the life and death of others."

"But you're ghosts."

"We were also ordinary people before, but we were arrested by the soldiers on errands, and we all thought about how to eat enough today, where to eat tomorrow, and how to have extra energy to fight and kill. Ay! ”

He Wei stopped speaking for a while, and seemed to understand something in his heart. Without saying a word, he and the two ghosts beside him came to the previous dock, and as long as he crossed this pier, it was a small town.

But something strange happened suddenly at this moment, the dense jungle before the dock was no longer in his field of vision, and there was no big tree around him, except for a trace of dust stained on the ground.

He Wei was a little curious, turned his head and asked, "By the way, did you see a jungle here when you came here before?" ”

The skinny little ghost hesitated for a moment and said, "No?" There is not even a single grass in this hundred miles, where does the jungle come from? ”

He Wei exclaimed and said, "Oh, I understand, I understand, let's cross the river quickly, have you brought a boat?" ”

"Brought, there is a bamboo raft on the shore, which was left when we came before, and it is enough to take him to the town."

After speaking, He Wei and the others came to the shore together, and rowed to the other side of the river on a bamboo raft, but this time the speed was obviously much faster than the last time, and they had already reached the dock on the other side in the blink of an eye.

When He Wei saw that he had arrived at the place, he took the dagger out of his pocket, handed it to the ghost, and said, "This is the reward I promised you before, and I will hand it over to you now, but I have to trouble you to continue to support me and go to the town together." ”

A faint evil smile appeared on the thin ghost's face, and he hurriedly bowed his head and bent forward, took the iron dagger with both hands, and said, "Thank you so much, my lord, you are so good to us, and I will definitely repay you in the future." ”

He Wei was a little puzzled, so he asked: "It's just a dagger, in your eyes, is it so valuable?" ”

The thin imp almost didn't speak, but just pulled out an iron long sword from his waist, pulled it out, and presented it in front of He Wei's eyes.

He Wei took the long sword, took it in his hand and looked at it, and found that there was nothing special except for a little rust, and asked, "What do you want to say?" To put it bluntly, there's no need to go around in circles. ”

The thin little ghost said: "This long sword is already rusty, and it is just a pretending to hold it in your hand, can't you see it?" ”

He Weidao: "Of course I know that he is rusty, but what do you want to prove?" ”

The thin little ghost said, "My lord, how much do you think this sword can be worth?" ”

He Weidao: "Well, it's all rusted like this, I think it's worth the money of two steamed buns." ”

The thin little ghost said: "No, if it can be exchanged for two steamed buns, then all our ghosts will not carry long swords, but wooden sticks." ”

He Wei sighed and did not continue to reply.

The thin little ghost almost put away the dagger, went up to hold He Wei, and said, "Let's go, if you don't leave, the food will be cold." ”

He Wei smiled, nodded, and walked into the town with them.

Soon after, they came to the gate of the official's house, and saw that there were already many ghosts lined up in a line, and all sides were crowded with people, and there was no gap left.

With a worn-out wooden bowl in their hands and an iron spoon in their right hand, they kept rushing in the direction of the kitchen.

He Wei also walked up and asked, "What are they doing here?" They all look like hungry wolves. ”

The thin little ghost said: "You are my benefactor, and I also treat you as an adult, I think it is better to help you go to see the doctor first, otherwise you can't take a single step, where can you go?" ”

"Okay, then I'll follow you to see the doctor, by the way, don't you have a doctor, where can you find it?"

"Although there is no doctor, but there is a veterinarian, he can treat diseases, any disease can be cured, you can rest assured, it doesn't cost much, just leave the cost to me."

"Well, then I can't live up to your wishes, so let's go together."
