Chapter Seventy-Nine: Rag Doll
(There was a power outage today, the electricity came at 8 o'clock in the evening, I only started writing at 9 o'clock, it was written in a hurry, there may be a little water, but I have to take the subsistence allowance to maintain my life, please forgive me!) )
The old ghost rushed forward: "Hahahaha! Don't be so suspicious, the old man has been upright all his life, never cheating, and he is not the kind of person who is indiscriminate. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
He Wei didn't pay attention to the old ghost's words, just raised his leg and kicked the wooden box in front of him, kicked it to the ground, pointed to the Erlang next to him and said, "Hurry up and take away this pile of broken copper and iron for me, it's annoying to look at!" ”
Several ghosts beside him understood what he meant, turned their heads to look at each other, and hurriedly carried away the weapon box in front of them from above.
The second wolf glanced at He Wei in surprise, and asked reluctantly: "Head, this is not good, if we have no weapons, if we meet bandits and bandits in the middle of the road, if we don't have a sword to defend ourselves, won't we be captured." ”
He Wei smiled faintly and didn't reply, just raised his head and whistled loudly.
A few seconds later, the female beggar quickly walked out of the grass house, her elegant steps and agile body, showing her unique temperament.
After she walked quickly to meet her, she didn't say more nonsense, but after looking at the surrounding situation, she immediately understood what He Wei meant. He took out two cold steamed buns directly from the tattered pocket and handed them to He Wei's hands.
He Wei took the steamed buns, turned around and handed them to the second wolf, and told him: "These two steamed buns are for you, let me find a way to find some sharp blades, we don't need these broken copper and iron in the future." ”
The second wolf looked at the two steamed buns in his hand, almost dumbfounded, the gluttonous saliva at the corner of his mouth couldn't stop flowing to his chin, he stood in place for a while, then raised his head and pointed at the two steamed buns in his arms with his index finger and said: "Hehe, boss, just rely on these two steamed buns, let alone a sharp sword, even if it is a hard armor, I can help you get it." ”
When the old ghost on the side heard this, his face was full of jealousy. He immediately snorted angrily, ran up angrily, snatched the steamed bun from the second wolf's hand, and scolded him for a while:
"Do you still understand the rules? Is there a first-come, first-served basis? I'm also one of our patriarchs, I stood aside and didn't speak, what are you talking about? ”
The second wolf's face immediately panicked, lowered his head and took a step back, and replied with a slight trembling of his lips: "Oh, Master Fox, I'm really sorry, I shouldn't have done that just now." ”
The old ghost almost smiled triumphantly, put the two steamed buns back in his pocket, turned to look at He Wei with a smile, clenched his fists with both hands, lowered his head and said very politely: "Head, leave this matter to the old man, the official position of the second wolf is too low, and he is not qualified for this errand." ”
He Wei was stunned and observed for a long time before he said calmly: "Old fox, what do you mean?" ”
The old ghost suddenly raised his head, and replied again with an extremely serious face: "Head, please rest assured, I will definitely rack my brains and try my best to find you a satisfactory sword, gun and iron armor." ”
After He Wei heard this, he immediately felt that there was something wrong with the old ghost's poor character, but he didn't say it directly, but slowed down his tone and replied euphemistically: "Oh, that's it, then I'll leave it to you, give you time to burn half a stick of incense, and I'll wait for you at the dock." ”
After the old ghost almost answered happily, he called two people to walk with him through the door.
After the old ghost left, He Wei also set off from the town with the remaining dozen ghosts, and soon after, everyone gathered at the dock.
However, at this time, the sky was also getting dark, and a faint crescent moon could be faintly seen rising in mid-air on the distant mountain peaks.
The huge tree in the jungle began to slowly wither with the appearance of the moonlight, and the surroundings seemed very calm.
The second wolf took the lead in walking into the grass, turned his head to He Wei and said, "Head, did the murderer appear in this place?" ”
He Wei nodded slightly, walked up slowly, and said, "Yes, we ambush the murderer in this place, and she will definitely appear in this place." ”
After He Wei finished speaking, he ambushed everyone into the jungle, and quietly hid behind a large rock, and instructed the rest of the people to kill a crazy old woman as soon as they saw it.
When everyone understood, they all silently burrowed into the jungle, each staring at countless pairs of eyes on the other side of the pier, quietly waiting for the old woman to appear.
At about eight o'clock in the evening, the moonlight had risen from the sky, but the old woman had not appeared for a long time. Of course, He Wei himself was not sure if the old woman would appear, but he just asked everyone to wait in this place.
Time passed like this, and after about half an hour, a figure suddenly came from the direction of the town, this figure was the old ghost who had gone to look for weapons before, and he was followed by the two people who were each carrying a box in their hands, which looked very heavy, and approached the dock step by step.
The old ghost did not know that these people were already hiding, and when he walked to the dock, he looked left and right, but found no one, so he had to tell everyone to wait in place.
Soon after, a cat meow was heard in the jungle. The old ghost subconsciously glanced back, but didn't find any movement, and really thought it was a cat barking.
At this time, He Wei hid behind the rock and learned to meow again, but the old ghost still didn't react and continued to stand on the edge of the dock stupidly.
He Wei couldn't help but rush out of the rock, ran all the way to the old ghost, grabbed his arm, and said, "What are you doing here?" Hurry up. ”
The old ghost only reacted at this time, turned his head and said in surprise: "Head, why did you come." ”
"Let's go, don't stand here, if you alarm that person in a while, maybe she won't show up."
The old ghost almost pointed to the weapon box next to him and said, "What about these boxes?" ”
He Wei: "Hey, let's put it here first, we have to go hide first." ”
The old ghost almost answered again, and without saying a word, he immediately hid in the grass with He Wei.
About another hour passed, and the old woman who had been under the great tree yesterday still did not appear, and everywhere seemed very calm, whether on the other side of the river or on the docks.
The old ghost almost couldn't bear the loneliness, so he immediately jumped out of the grass, pounced on He Wei's side and asked, "How long are we going to wait here?" ”
He Wei sighed and said, "Hey, I don't know, I'm waiting, if she still doesn't come, let's go." ”
After hearing this, the old ghost was not very happy, but he still endured the emotions in his heart and ran into the jungle.
After another three minutes, although the old woman did not appear for a long time, the figure of an old man in white appeared faintly on the riverbank, standing on a wooden boat, straightening his waist as if reading a poem.
When He Wei found this figure from a distance, he felt a little familiar, as if it was the old man who drove him across the river a few days ago. When he remembered it, he immediately shouted, "Come out for me, and arrest the old man on the shore for me." ”
But no one responded behind him, so He Wei had to turn his head to look at the jungle behind him, and shouted again: "What are you all doing, come out quickly." ”
At this time, the second wolf walked out of the forest, looked left and right with a panicked look, and shouted, "Where is the person, where is the person?" ”
He Wei pointed to the dock in front of him and said, "It's the old man on the shore, do you see it?" ”
"Where? Don't see it? There's no one here. The two wolves looked around, but did not find any movement on the edge of the calm dock.
At this time, five or six ghosts rushed out of the jungle one after another, looking lazy and lazy, many people were still yawning, and said the same words as the two wolves in unison: "Who is there?" Who? ”
The old ghost also crawled out of the grass in a daze, and walked staggeringly, slapping his chin listlessly and asking, "Who is it?" ”
After He Wei heard their words, he hurriedly turned to look at the dock on the riverbank, and he was suddenly surprised to find that there was not even a ghost shadow up and down the riverbank in an instant, and the old man in white disappeared silently before.
He Wei rubbed his eyes lightly, and carefully swept his gaze to the dock, and found that it was still calm, not even a small mosquito was seen.
At this time, the second wolf slowly walked over, looked at a loss, and asked curiously, "Head, where is the person?" Who is it? ”
He Wei stretched out a palm and patted the heart of his head hard, and sighed: "Hey, maybe I was wrong just now, you can continue to go back and hide." ”
The second wolf yawned in a daze, and said weakly: "Okay, I understand." ”
He Wei came back to his senses, turned to the ghosts who came out in front of him, and explained: "You all go back, I may have been dazzled by it just now, and I will call you out in a while." ”
Everyone responded, and they all turned back into the jungle, but they seemed to be very tired, and each one seemed to be a little staggering as they walked.
He Wei continued to turn around and locked his gaze on the bank of the river, which was as calm as a jewel, his body as if frozen, showing no signs of moving.
The old ghost was drowsy and slowly shook his body towards He Wei, walked behind him, and suddenly sighed and said, "Head, let's go back, the brothers are already tired, in case of unforeseen circumstances, we are powerless to resist." ”
He Wei was suddenly startled by the voice coming from behind him, and the whole person was about to bounce up, he immediately trembled and quickly twisted his neck to look behind him, stretched out his hand to cover his chest and sighed: "Ouch, you scared me to death, let's leave in a few minutes." ”
Although the old ghost looked a little dissatisfied, he didn't say much, so he dragged his tired body back into the jungle and continued to hide.
He Wei observed the situation left and right, and then continued to shift his gaze to the strange dock before. But this time, the figure of the old man in white appeared in his sight again, standing straight on the wooden boat that suddenly appeared.
At the edge of the bow sat an old woman with a basket in her hand, muttering as if she were singing.
He Wei's eyes widened suddenly, and he couldn't help shouting loudly again: "Come out, quickly, come out for me, the murderer has appeared, just over the dock." ”
But this time no one paid attention to him, and the whole jungle was quieter than before, and snoring could be heard from time to time.
He Wei quickly got up and rushed into the grass, and after a closer look, he found that everyone was already lying on the grass, sleeping like dead pigs, and he couldn't wake up no matter how he screamed.
He Wei was angry and yelled: "Get up for me, who let you sleep." ”
Despite his loud voice, no one heard him. The snoring sounded louder, and even some people had their saliva running down the ground.
He Wei was so angry that his nose was crooked, he rushed to the second wolf and kicked him hard, and scolded loudly: "Get up quickly, don't sleep like a pig." ”
Unexpectedly, the second wolf not only did not wake up, but replied in a daze: "Get out!" ”
He Wei suddenly heard this word in his ears, and he added fuel to the fire, and he couldn't help but go up and kick him violently, shouting: "Who are you scolding? Hurry up! ”
"Get out!" The second wolf groggily reached out and wiped the dream saliva on the edge of the corner of his mouth, and scolded again.
At this time, He Wei's eyebrows were about to burn, and he inadvertently looked left and right, and found that except for the second wolf, the rest of the ghosts lying on the ground were also unconscious, and they didn't care about the situation around them at all.
He Wei really had no choice, so he had to pluck up his courage and run in the direction of the dock alone.
As soon as he turned around, he suddenly found a mysterious old woman under the tree, and this old woman was the one he had met in the alley before.
The old woman sat under the giant tree in this way, her every move was strange, and she silently recited a strange incantation in her mouth: "Gold...... My gold...... Glittering gold. ”
But the old woman didn't seem to notice that He Wei was behind her, and kept repeating the previous incantation with her eyes closed.
He Wei immediately made a lying position, lying his whole body on the ground, and raised his head slightly to carefully observe every move in front of him.
The old woman under the tree put the basket beside her in front of the tree, and suddenly stretched out her hands and plunged straight into the soft soil, and used all her strength to keep digging out the soil in front of her, until a deep and long hole was dug out.
The old woman took the basket in her hand at once, and poured all its contents into the hole she had dug, and in a few moments buried it.
Immediately afterward, she continued to dig a second hole, again as before, the hole was dug very deep. And she dug it down one by one with her hands, she didn't care at all that her nails were torn and her palms were already bruised with bloody scars.
When the old woman had dug the hole to a certain extent, she took the basket in her hand and continued to pour out some strange things. Fill the deep hole and finally cover it with dirt.
At this time, she suddenly leaned forward and made a strange move. The pale forehead, which was less than a centimeter away from the loess, suddenly stopped.
He continued to recite a strange spell from his mouth, the same as before: "Gold...... Gold...... My gold! ”
I kept repeating the strange incantation under the tree, and it took about half an hour before I stopped. The old woman rose from the land, turned and left.
After He Wei, who had been lying on the grass, saw her leave, he waited for another three minutes until he felt that the old woman had completely walked away, and then slowly got up from the ground, and he could clearly feel that his retreat was numb.
He Wei walked under the big tree and looked at the two potholes in front of him, the loess on the road was piled up so high that from a distance, it looked like two tombs standing under the tree.
He Wei looked up at the big tree, and immediately found that the leaves had turned green, and the entire tree pole was taller than before. A drop of bright red liquid suddenly flowed from the gap in the leaves, dripping on the top of He Wei's head.
He Wei subconsciously reached out and touched the top of his head, feeling that his palms were a little cold, and at the same time, he smelled a strong smell of blood in his nose.
He Wei retracted his hand, brought his palm to his eyes, and glanced at it carefully. I didn't see any blood, I just felt a little wet.
At this time, a cold corpse suddenly fell from between the huge branches, and it fell heavily to the ground, "Bang! The ears were almost deafened.
Before He Wei could fully react, the second corpse fell from the branch again, and this time he felt a red patch in front of him, which suddenly flashed from his side.
He Wei hurriedly shrank back, looking back at the two bloody corpses piled up on the ground, his scalp was a little numb, and the heart in his body seemed to be about to slip out of his voice at this second.
The two bodies on the ground, one dressed in red and the other in white robes, were lying stiffly on the lawn with their faces on the ground, so they could not be seen.
He Wei squeezed his little fist, endured sweat and mustered up the courage to slowly walk forward step by step. The further he walked, the more he felt the soles of his shoes feel a little cold, as if he was standing on a layer of ice.
As he got closer and closer, He Wei felt that the two corpses were not very old, almost fifteen or sixteen years old. And there is also a big difference in body shape, like a man and a woman, and the skin has begun to gradually decay and wither.
He Wei's knees suddenly felt a coldness, both legs were already frozen, and he immediately stopped. Turning around, he quickened his pace and ran out of the jungle.
And the huge plane tree also began to quickly solidify into a layer of ice, constantly emitting a chilling chill in this direction, and the surrounding directions looked particularly gloomy.
At this time, three or five ghosts suddenly rushed out of the jungle, looking panicked, a little unnatural all over, and they kept shouting to each other: "Why is it so cold all of a sudden, is it snowing?" ”
When He Wei saw them, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Hey, you finally woke up, I thought you were dead." ”
At this time, the second wolf also quickly came out of the woods, and kept covering his body while running, and shouted tremblingly: "Emma, I'm cold, what's the situation." ”
When He Wei saw the appearance of the second wolf, he was immediately furious, put on an expression of life and death, and stepped forward with his heavy legs. As soon as he rushed to the second wolf, he flew towards his ass without saying a word, and pointed at him and scolded: "What did you kid just scold me? ”
The second wolf covered his kicked buttocks, subconsciously took a step back, showed an innocent expression, and asked inexplicably: "I didn't scold you?" How could I scold you? ”
He Wei gritted his teeth and scolded again: "You just scolded in your dream, don't think I don't know." ”
The second wolf said pitifully: "Ouch, really no, you have wronged me." ”
While the two of them were chatting with each other, the old ghost, who had been sleeping soundly in the grass before, also came out of the forest and roared with a menacing face: "What are you all yelling about? I didn't sleep well because I was sleepy, and I didn't want to live, didn't I? ”
At this moment, all the other ghosts slipped out of the woods, and their expressions were also very painful, and they were all discussing why it was so cold all of a sudden.
He Wei smiled, turned around, pointed to the two bloodstained corpses on the ground, and said, "Look at what is on the ground." ”
The second wolf trembled, staggered forward, took a careful look at the ground, and said, "Aren't there two rag dolls on the ground?" Any questions? ”
The rest of the ghosts also stepped forward one after another to focus their attention on the grass under the tree, and said in unison, "Yes, isn't this a doll?" ”
After He Wei heard their conversation, he was suddenly startled, rubbed his eyelids and looked at the grass, but in his eyes, he found two corpses, and he said in surprise: "Nonsense! These are obviously two corpses, what rag dolls, your eyes are all spent. ”
The old ghost walked forward in an orderly manner, and at the same time locked his eyes on the grass, hesitated for a while, and then said, "Head! They were right, it was indeed just two rag dolls, but it looked a little miserable. ”
He Wei couldn't believe his eyes, and took a few more steps forward until he walked in front of the two corpses, squatted down, and turned one of the corpses over. In the next second, he was surprised to find that this face was indeed a pale human face, and there were countless vague scars on the face.
He Wei immediately raised his head and beckoned to the old ghost, and said, "Come and see, this is obviously a human face, how can you say that it is a rag doll?" ”
The old ghost shook his head and replied sternly: "The old man knows that it is a rag doll when he stands here, and he doesn't need to walk over to see it." ”
He Wei was a little puzzled, so he continued to ask, "What?" Rag doll, then come and see what this face is talking about. ”
The second wolf suddenly rushed over, looked at He Wei with a smile with his head down, and said, "Hey, head, this is indeed a rag doll's face, there is no need to lie to you." ”
He Wei was even more angry when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Do you have a knife on you?" Give it to me, and I'll prove it to you now, it's a human corpse. ”
The second wolf was stunned for a while, and immediately took out a dagger from his pocket, handed it to He Wei's hand, and said, "Head, please." ”
He Wei took the dagger in his hand, immediately dragged the female corpse in front of him, grabbed the female corpse's arm, and cut a deep cut on her wrist with the blade.
At this moment, a cloud of hot blood suddenly flowed from his wrist, which dripped all the way to the grass.
After He Wei saw it, he slowly turned his head to look at the second wolf beside him, and asked through gritted teeth, "Did you see it?" Isn't this blood? Do ragdolls bleed? ”
The second wolf smiled slightly, slowly locked his eyes on the wrist of the female corpse, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and said, "Head, but no matter how I look at it, it's just an abandoned rag doll." ”
When He Wei heard this, he angrily stretched out his hand and grabbed the arm of the female corpse, and handed the bleeding wrist in front of the eyes of the second wolf, and once in an aggravated tone, he asked, "Isn't this blood?" If it wasn't blood, what would it be in your eyes? ”
The second wolf's face suddenly frightened, stared at the wrist of the female corpse for a long time, his eyes became wider and wider, and he exclaimed with two rows of teeth: "This is blood!" What's wrong? ”
He Wei glanced at him angrily, and then asked, "Since you admit that this is blood, do you think there will be blood in the body of the rag doll?" ”
The second wolf suddenly couldn't help laughing, his eyelids were about to narrow into a flower, and he said happily: "Hehe, head, don't be funny, I'm talking about the blood on the rag doll, not the blood on the human body." ”
