Chapter 10: The Gatekeeper
"We can't stay here for long, we have to get out of here at once, and it looks like we don't want to sleep tonight. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info" Qi Shan whispered to Su You beside him.
The sound of rustling around me is getting louder and louder, which makes people shudder.
"But where can we go now?" Su You asked quietly, their current situation is very dangerous, not to mention outside, he and Qi Shan are both injured, although they are not very serious, but they also affect their defense.
"Let's go back, go back to the way we started, keep walking, get out of this area." Qi Shan said.
The two of them didn't say anything, so they didn't turn on the flashlight for safety reasons, brushed away the weeds all the way, and walked towards the original road one foot deep and one foot shallow.
The voice was still there, and it was loud, but it sounded some distance away from them.
"What do you say is that sound? I feel like an animal. Su You asked Qi Shan in a low voice.
Qi Shan thought for a while and said: "I can't say what it will be, but I feel very bad, the sound we make is not small, if it is an animal, such as a large mammal, or a snake and other animals, with their developed hearing and eyesight, it is estimated that we will not be able to stand here completely for a long time." ”
Indeed, the senses of animals are very well developed, and if they were really animals, they would either rush up and eat them, or run away, instead of deliberately giving them a dismount, as is the case now.
Su You thought about it, and suddenly there was a strange itch on the wrist of his left hand, and Su You subconsciously thought that it was the phenomenon of flesh growing from the wound, so he didn't pay attention to it.
Perhaps it was because it was so dark that they couldn't see the road under their feet at all, so they didn't follow the original flour tracks, and by the time they returned to the original path, it had been a long time.
"Finally back, but it's a pity that my flour didn't come in handy." Qi Shan sat on the ground, his tense spirit made him very tired, and his sweat was sticky to his body.
Su You's itchy left hand made him a little restless, wanting to scratch the itch, but he was afraid of touching the wound, and he was entangled.
"Do you have hemorrhoids?" Qi Shan looked at Su You, who was sitting on pins and needles, and asked jokingly. They are now back on their main road and relatively safe for the time being.
"You're the only one who has hemorrhoids!" Su You rubbed the wound on his left hand with the sleeve of his right hand, and although the movement was very light, it still caused a burst of pain.
"Why are you so delicate? Young Master Ben sighed to himself! Qi Shan took out the sugar water from his backpack, opened it and poured it a few times, then handed it to Su You, and asked, "Do you want to supplement glucose?" ”
Su You shook his head, "I don't know what's wrong, my left hand hurts and itches, and it's uncomfortable." The burning pain and unbearable itch in his left hand made him a little unbearable, and he couldn't understand why a small injury could have such a big reaction.
When Qi Shan heard this, he frowned and took out a small square towel from his backpack to cover the bottom of the flashlight to cover the strong light, then turned on the switch of the flashlight, and then examined Su You's wound with a faint light.
Above Su You's bandaged wound, there was a blood channel about seven or eight centimeters long, lying diagonally on Su You's forearm, and the red and swollen arm looked extremely terrifying in the hazy light.
"What's wrong with you? Could it be that you bandaged too hard and the blood couldn't come through? Qi Shan said and opened Su You's bandage.
"Probably not, I don't care about it!" Su You also looked at his wound, and suddenly remembered something for a while, "By the way, I didn't know what was scratched when I was cleaning up just now, and after that, it hurt and itched here, could it be the injury that fell at that time?" ”
Qi Shan bowed slightly, "Maybe it's that time, damn it, you're poisoned!" Qi Shan exclaimed.
Su You also followed Qi Shan's gaze, and sure enough, at the top of the wound, there was a very obvious black, although it could be seen at a glance, but the scope was not large.
"Do you feel anything right now, like, lightheadedness? Nausea and want to throw up? Qi Shan asked with concern.
"No", Su You shook his head and said, and then reacted, "I'm not a fucking pregnant woman, how can I have that kind of reaction!" ”
"Do you want to let it bleed?" Su You asked. To be honest, looking at his purple and black arms, he was really a little scared, he felt that he was so close to death for the first time, but he didn't want to die yet, he was still young, and there were still many things to do, maybe it was human greed, maybe it was his own selfishness, but no matter what the reason, he didn't want to die so easily!
"You don't look like you've been bitten by a poisonous snake, and bloodletting is useless." After Qi Shan finished speaking, he took out the medicine box from his backpack, and a black powder was sprinkled on Su You's wound.
A scorching stinging pain came, and Su You was excited, "Damn, can you tell me in advance!" ”
"This is the medicine that my personal doctor gave me, I don't remember much about the usage, but like you are now, a dead horse should be a live horse doctor!"
"Well, if you're happy." Su You was speechless, how could this man not have a sense of the preciousness of human life! But what he said is right, anyway, he only has half the probability of surviving, and he won't lose anything.
Qi Shan sprinkled layer after layer of black medicinal powder on Su You's wound, and Su You broke out in a cold sweat from the pain.
I don't know if it's the effect of the medicine or the psychological effect, Su You actually felt that he felt very good after taking the medicine, and even the wound on his wrist before didn't have a trace of pain.
"We don't know where your injury came from now, maybe it's all around us, so we have to be extra careful!" After Qi Shan carefully bandaged Su You, he said.
Su You also felt the same way, after all, this injury was too weird, maybe if you didn't pay attention to any step, it would be in line with hell.
The two of them briefly straightened up, turned off the flashlight, and continued to walk forward.
After walking for more than twenty minutes, Su You and the others stopped again.
"Did you hear that, too?" Su You asked.
At first, Su You thought that he was hallucinating after being injured, so he stopped and wanted to verify it carefully, but he didn't expect Qi Shan to stop at this time.
"Young Master Ben is not deaf, such a loud voice, of course I heard it!" Qi Shan glanced at Su You, with tiredness in his voice.
At this time, the wind picked up around.
The grass that was more than a person tall kept shaking, and the rustling sound overshadowed the previous sound, making it impossible for them to discern the direction of the previous sound.
"Oops." Su You sighed secretly.
"Let's go, it's too dangerous here!" Su You suddenly had a very bad premonition, and pulled up Qi Shan with his uninjured right hand, regardless of the three-seven-twenty-one, and ran towards the front.
Suddenly, the two stopped.
I don't know when it began, there were a lot of "fireflies" around, from one or two, to ten or eight, and finally to thousands, swaying gently with the breeze, in the endless dark night, it was like being in the galaxy as dreamy, but Su You knew that behind this beauty, it must be a bloodthirsty flower blooming.
"Oh my God, it's so pretty!" Qi Shan sighed, and then stretched out his hand to touch a "firefly" in his hand.
"Don't move!" Su You didn't know what it was, but his intuition told him that if he wanted to live, he shouldn't touch it!
Qi Shan was also taken aback by Su You's sudden scolding, and withdrew his hand stupidly.
Su You took out his flashlight, and the moment he turned it on, his scalp was numb, this "firefly" was nothing else, but the "Yang Miaozi" he hated the most when he was young. Su You doesn't know much about this kind of "divine beast", only that it is the larva of some kind of moth, full of thorns, if a person is injured by it, the redness and swelling are trivial, it hurts and itchy, and it is uncomfortable to be tight, thinking of this, Su You looked at his arm, it turned out to be just a false alarm.
Qi Shan also looked around at the surrounding scenery by the light of Su You's flashlight, "Why do they grow so big?" He said.
Su You also looked at these things that made his scalp tingle again. I saw that the grass swaying in the wind was covered with countless large and small poplars, the largest of which was 30cm long, and the small one was only the size of a fingernail, and it was really the two lines on their backs that were glowing!
"Could it be that you have become a sperm?" Qi Shan also knew this thing, but he had never seen such a big one.
Su You didn't answer Qi Shan's words, but said, "Maybe the voice just now came from them, but why are they all gathered here?" ”
Qi Shan looked at the pieces of light in front of him and said, "No, look at their arrangement, do they look like they, guards?" ”
Su You's heart was shocked, and he hurriedly turned off the flashlight, and followed Qi Shan's train of thought to re-examine the distribution of these Yang Qizi. Indeed, it is like the arrangement of the guards outside the ancient palace, with a symmetrical number on the left and right, and a large guard in the middle.
"What's going on?" Su You was stunned by the scenery in front of him, a little insect actually knew how to arrange it like this, no, it should be artificially arranged!
"In my opinion, they probably act as gatekeepers." Qi Shan said.
"Gatekeeper? What are they keeping? Could it be that there is still some tomb behind this? Su You asked.
"We'll find out what happened next." After speaking, Qi Shan winked at Su You, then picked up the lighter and set up a fire.
"Does this thing work?" Su You asked.
"Why are you more young master than Young Master Ben? This is common sense, don't you know that the larvae of this moth are light-loving and hot-loving, and we can use this fire to lure them over, and then we can pass. ”
Su You stopped talking, he knew what Qi Shan said, and he didn't know if he could succeed.
The two of them fiddled for a long time, and finally the first one crawled towards them, and then the second ......
After a while, finally Yang Miaozi's arrangement was not so dense, and if he was careful, he would not add color to his body.
Passing through the "guard", you will see a huge "egg", half exposed, half buried in the earth, and there is a one-meter-square black hole a little above the ground, which does not know where it leads.
"There's a word here." Qi Shan's eyes were sharp, and he saw a string of numbers engraved on an inconspicuous place on the "egg" near the small mound.
Su You walked over and saw that it read: 243,436,524.
