Chapter 25: The Roasted Rooster

The human head and skeleton resembled a rabid dog, and once it was bitten, no matter how much it struggled, it could not get rid of its terrible fangs. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

It kept biting tightly on He Wei's knee and didn't let go, the wound became deeper and deeper, and the blood kept seeping out, revealing a trace of blood-red bone marrow in the deep and long scar.

He Wei had tried to get rid of its entanglement, but it was still to no avail, it was like a nail stained with glue, entangled in it, and suddenly, a thought suddenly popped up in his mind, that is, he directly picked up the stone on the ground, smashed his leg, and smashed it.

This terrible thought flashed in his mind in an instant, maybe he wanted to make the last dying struggle, and it was also not ruled out that the dog jumped over the wall in a hurry, but in such a desperate situation, he could only act decisively.

As soon as he reached out and picked up a sharp stone from the ground, he closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and smashed it desperately on his knee.

Perhaps out of a sense of self-preservation, he didn't exert all his strength at the moment of waving his hand, but only used one-third of the strength in his body to smash the sharp stone blade into his bleeding knee.

At that moment, a sharp pain poured from his knees into the nerves of his brain, his consciousness was blurred, and his eyes were full of sparks. Unfortunately, the leg was not broken, perhaps because of insufficient strength, and the leg was only bruised and purple and swollen.

Seeing that the situation in front of him was getting worse and worse, he once again relentlessly, and his sweat-stained palms tightly covered the stones, and smashed them towards his knees again and again, blood splashed all over the ground, and the joints continued to make a "sizzle" sound.

A minute passed, and his legs were smashed into a blur of flesh and blood, which was unsightly, but his knees were still not broken, because every time he smashed down ruthlessly, when the stone was in mid-air, the whole body would subconsciously reduce the strength of his arm, just like a little doll less than three years old holding a stone to hit his knees.

At the same time, the human-headed skeleton also bit tighter and tighter, and the sharp teeth slowly pierced into his bones, and He Wei let out a miserable scream, and fell to the ground with his breath dying.

The sun gradually rose from the west, and the piercing green light shone on He Wei's entire torso, only to see that the human head skeleton suddenly let go, rolling down from its knees to the sand, as the light became stronger and stronger, the skeleton became whiter and whiter, gradually rotting in the space, turning into a slimy white liquid.

Everything around calmed down, the waves on the lake slowly receded, the water surface returned to a green patch with a flick of a finger, and the previous gloomy atmosphere disappeared into the blue sky and white clouds, and the sun shone on the earth, which looked wonderful.

The light became brighter and brighter, piercing on He Wei's face, his whole body felt like a feather frivolous, his limbs were completely unable to use any strength, and when he opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was only white clouds floating in the sky, slowly leaping from his field of vision.

But what He Wei didn't expect was: why does the sun rise in the west today? It's really puzzling, and at the same time even more incredible.

He raised his head, his eyes looked down at his body, it was already full of holes, covered with bruises, and it was difficult to even get up, but he still gritted his teeth and shook himself from the ground with difficulty, and it took him several minutes.

The surface of the lake was unusually calm, like a pool of stagnant water, and there were no ripples floating on the leather, and a layer of white smoke was floating on it.

At this time, a black unidentified object floated on the surface of the lake, slowly appearing in his field of vision, and in the next second, the black object floated on the water, slowly revealing its head, and a pale face emerged, and the pupils of the eyes were pitch black, and two black loaches came out of it.

The white head floating on the surface of the lake, like a aquatic plant covered with black soil, floated to the bank of the river from a distance, flowed down the water to the sand and stones, and a red cheongsam appeared on the lower half of the body, only to find that this was a female ghost in front of me.

Suddenly frightened He Wei broke out in a cold sweat, like countless cockroaches crawling in his heart, turned around and ran backwards, just ran a few steps, and was stopped by a voice from behind him.

"Little brother, don't run."

Hearing such a familiar call, He Wei stopped at once, turned his head slightly and glanced back, a petite body appeared in his afterglow, only to realize that the female ghost who had just floated out of the lake was Summer.

"Summer? How are you, aren't you gone? As soon as He Wei saw that it was summer, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and slowly stepped forward and asked.

I saw a sour smile on Summer's face, spread his hands, and said slowly to He Wei: "This is my true face, I am a water ghost here, I have died here decades ago, even if I regain my body, I will continue to return here after death." ”

"You...... Didn't you fall to the bottom of the cliff and die, how did you become a water ghost again? Although He Wei was still a little scared in his heart, he still reluctantly asked in a faint voice.

"That's just a lie, if I hadn't said that, you wouldn't have dared to come to this village, let's be honest, in fact, I have been deceiving you before, I lured you here, someone wants to harm you, but I don't want to see you die in the village now."

Every word of summer hides bitterness, with an indescribable bitterness, with sad eyes, quietly looking at He Wei's entire body.

As soon as He Wei heard this, his heart was deeply hit, as if there was a wave of anger held in his heart for a long time, and he couldn't release it if he wanted to, but he finally held back that anger and replied in a calm tone: "Actually, I already knew, you don't have to explain, but I didn't say it, because I like you." ”

"Let's go, get out of this village, don't look back when you get out, I'll miss you later." Summer smiled slightly, took a light step sideways, flew to the surface of the lake, and disappeared into the air.

In fact, in He Wei's memory, he didn't know how he came to this village at all, he only heard that Xia had been deceiving him, but he didn't understand the meaning of Xia's words, and he didn't think much about it and turned around and ran towards the entrance of the village.

The sun was getting brighter and brighter, but the sky was getting darker and darker, and the light turned black on the ground, and He Wei inadvertently remembered what he had said to him in the summer before, "When the dawn rises, it is the day when darkness falls." ”

When he heard this, he just smiled, but at this moment, it was like a nightmare, haunting him, and he would never be able to get rid of such pain.

He kept following the road until he had just entered the village, and found piles of villagers lying on the ground, black liquid flowing all over the ground, staining the entire land black.

The broken suspension bridge not far ahead, for some unknown reason, was back to its original state, and the road that had been blocked with stones before was suddenly clear, as if there were other people besides myself who had come to this village.

At this time, a hand behind him suddenly patted He Wei's shoulder gently, and at the same time, a greeting sounded "Boy, do you still need to buy a gun?" ”

He Wei turned around and looked, only to find that the familiar masked merchant standing in front of him was standing before, he was carrying a travel bag behind his back, and the veil covered his face, so it was not clear what he looked like, but He Wei's memory had long since disappeared, and he didn't remember who the person in front of him was.

"Excuse me, who are you?" He Wei asked suddenly and curiously.

"Hey...... Don't you remember me, boy. The merchant's eyes narrowed into a line, but the veil covered his face, and his smile could not be seen.

"Look at your burly figure, you should be a handsome guy, right?" He Wei said with a smile.

The merchant suddenly found that the eyes of the kid in front of him looked at him as if he were looking at a stranger, and he had no impression of himself, as if he understood something, and hurriedly replied: "Oh, yes, yes, you guessed right, I am a handsome guy, it seems that you don't need my help anymore, then I will leave." ”

He Wei saw that after the merchant finished speaking, he turned his head and left, and immediately went up to stop him, and asked again with a puzzled look, "Who are you?" Do you really know me? ”

The merchant just glanced at him meaningfully, and continued to walk away without saying a word, shaking his head as he went, and muttered softly: "Hey, young man, you need perseverance to do something, and if you give up halfway, you will hate it for life." ”

The merchant said this to the air, but in fact, he was secretly saying this to He Wei, but He Wei didn't understand his words, and when he saw the merchant leaving step by step, he felt even more curious, and stopped him loudly: "May I ask the senior's name?" Judging by the smell of gunpowder, you can't be an arms dealer. ”

The merchant ignored his words and continued along the road towards the village, shaking his head as he went, muttering something he didn't understand.

He Wei chased a few steps and didn't continue to chase, because he didn't know who this person was, watching the figure of the merchant slowly disappear from his field of vision, like a mysterious Taoist who traveled all over the world.

At the same time, the sky was getting darker and darker, and the aura was becoming more and more chaotic, He Wei smiled lightly at the figure of the merchant, then turned around and continued to move in the direction of the exit of the village, ran across the suspension bridge, crossed the dirt road, and just went out a few steps, a rooster appeared in front of him.

He Wei didn't care about the rooster in front of him, he just felt that it was an ordinary rooster, and there was nothing special about it, so he deliberately turned around it and continued to walk forward, but as soon as he raised his leg and took two steps, the rooster spoke.

The rooster looked at him with angry eyes, and said sadly: "Boy, why don't you talk nonsense, why did you give up halfway what you promised me." ”

He Wei suddenly heard a man's voice from behind, and immediately turned his head to look back, but there was no one in front of him except a rooster, he thought it was a bird call before, and he heard it wrong, so he turned his head and continued to walk along the road.

"Boy, why don't you talk nonsense, what you promised me, why did you give up halfway."

This string of voices came from He Wei's ears again, and he clearly heard that it was a person's voice, a man's voice, and only then did he react immediately, and someone was really calling him behind him before.

He immediately turned to look around, except for the steep peak, which was a patch of green trees, and at first glance, there was no human figure at all.

"Don't look around, I'm right in front of you."

The voice came from the rooster's body, and He Wei's eyes instantly locked on its body, but he didn't expect a rooster to speak, and thought that a ghost possessed the rooster's body, and exclaimed: "He is a demon, appear quickly." ”

"I'm a mountain god, not a demon, have you forgotten that you once promised me?" The rooster spread its wings and flew to He Wei's side in one fell swoop.

"Promise? What promises? Do I know you well? Is there any inevitable relationship between me and you, I don't seem to know you? ”

As soon as He Wei said this, the top of the mountain suddenly shook, and it seemed to collapse, and at the same time, the rooster spread its hard wings, flew to his shoulders, and kept carving his head with his mouth, and the two corns stared straight, as if they were extremely angry.

For the scene in front of him, He Wei was a little caught off guard, and he couldn't understand it, he stretched out his hands and grabbed the rooster's wings, and smashed it to the ground, and the rooster suddenly turned his feet to the sky and lay on the ground motionless.

He Wei stepped forward again, grabbed the rooster on the ground in his hand, took a closer look, and found that his body was cold and cold, and he was dead.

Seeing the rooster in his hand, and the fact that he hadn't eaten a good meal for a few days, his stomach was so hungry that he "cooed", and an idea suddenly popped up in his heart, plucking all the feathers of the chicken and turning it into a delicious meal for himself.

But he thought about it again, this rooster can actually talk, can't it really be possessed by a demon, if so, will I eat it to get some strange diseases, or poison to death?

But at this time, there was a fire burning in his stomach, and he was already so hungry that his eyes were dizzy, so he simply ate it, and it was better than being a starving ghost, so he went around and found some dry wood, made a fire, plucked all the feathers of the rooster, ran to the pond and washed it casually, and then set it on the fire and began to roast.

It has been roasted like this, for more than an hour, unexpectedly, this rooster can not be roasted no matter how it is roasted, and the flesh is still a piece of white flowers, and then subconsciously reached out and touched it, and found that it was still cold, as if it had just been taken out of the refrigerator, and it was not cooked at all.

Suddenly......
