When the gunshot rang out, I sat on the grass, my ears buzzing, and I couldn't move. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Xiao Ning, take the gourd and go to your second uncle, he is Xiao Guan, the king of insects......" Grandpa's voice came.

Suddenly two masked heads appeared from the window, and shouted, "The child is below, go after him, don't let him run away." ”

The poisonous light in the eyes of those two men was etched in my mind, and I will never forget them.

"Live, Xiao Ning!" I told myself in my heart to pick up the yellow gourd as fast as I could, and run forward through the night.

I ran forward with all my strength, and when I reached the main road, I saw the traffic and people coming and going, the air was hot and dry, and I was short of breath.

I only remembered my mother's words, and ran forward with all my strength. I don't know how long I ran and how many people I hit.

Finally, I stopped in an abandoned alleyway, and after making sure that the person who was following me did not catch up, I let out a big breath, hid in the dark, let the mosquito bites, let the tears flow, and hugged the yellow gourd and bamboo tube tightly.

I still had a few dollars in my pocket, so I didn't dare to use it indiscriminately, so I only bought a steamed bun for the night.

In the middle of the night, I hesitated for a long time and sneaked back to the place where I was separated from my grandfather and mother. People in the hotel came in and out, but there was no trace of my mother and grandfather.

I waited for days without a sign of them. I had an ominous premonition in my heart that something had happened to them. Who are they, and why are they targeting me? It's a real headache.

But the most terrible problem at the moment is not to figure these out, but how to survive. If I was in a small town, I could go down to the river to catch fish and go up to the mountains to pick wild fruits, and I wouldn't starve to death.

But this is a big city, and once the money runs out, I will become a wandering beggar, starving to death on the side of the street. The most terrifying thing is that the Gu worms in my body may attack at any time, and no one will know about rotting at that time.

I want to live, I tell myself in my heart that I want to live with all my might. As long as I live, I will meet my mother and grandfather again.

"Wow!" There was a dog barking.

I saw my grandfather's black dog, which escaped and then found me. Its fur is somewhat withered and lifeless. I stepped forward and hugged it and said, "Now you are the only one who follows me, and you are my family." ”

I had nowhere else to go, and on a hill on the edge of the Yangtze River, I found an air-raid shelter. The iron door at the entrance of the cave was rusty, and the iron lock on the iron door did not require much force to open.

I live in it temporarily. The black dog followed me and occasionally came back with a bite, and I was able to survive.

That night, I lay down at the mouth of the cave to rest, and by the light of the moon, I temporarily soothed my pain. In the middle of the night, the Gu worm attacked again. The pain quickly spread throughout my body.

I hunched over like a shrimp, my breathing became more and more rapid, as if a pair of hands were clenched tightly around my neck, and my life was disappearing little by little.

Black dogs surrounded me, snorting hot and barking. The entire bomb shelter was completely noisy, and many mountain rats ran out of the depths of the cave.

Although this mountain is in the middle of the city, it is already late at night, and people outside can't hear it at all. Running mouses, won't save me.

The remnants of consciousness tell me that I'm going to die here soon.

"Click!" I heard the sound of bones, and it was very clear, as if someone was coming, and the barking of the black dog was even more restless, and then I pounced.

I couldn't see clearly, but I felt the black dog fly out and hit the wall, not knowing whether it was alive or dead.

Ha! A slight exhalation landed on my face. A black, withered head looked at me.

I panicked and marveled, and even forgot the pain.

The whole body was already soaked with sweat, and his hands were propped up on the ground, barely retreating, leaning against the stone wall, and for a moment, he was dumbfounded.

What caught my eye was a black skeleton man, and his arms were also textured black.

Wearing loose black clothes, but he couldn't hide his form, this person was terrifyingly thin, almost no flesh, like a layer of black skin wrapped in bones, and the flesh under the skin was long gone.

I can't believe how he survived, or if he was a dead man at all.

The skeleton man twisted his head to look at me, looking at me without saying a word.

After a while, the skeleton man said, "Child, you're going to die!" You're screaming and waking me up, you feel like you're being tortured by a powerful Gu worm. ”

The sound was harsh. I can't deny it, because what he says is the truth.

The skeleton said, "If you give me three kowtows, I can save you." Guaranteed you won't die. If you agree, wink. ”

I thought to myself, "Although I don't know what kind of monster he is." If he can save me, what is kowtowing? Besides, he is older than me, so kowtowing to the elders is not a loss. ”

I blinked.

The skeleton man was very happy and helped me up.

I did kowtow to him three times, then leaned against the wall and let out a big breath. The whole movement had taken all my strength, and I couldn't move anymore.

The skeleton man said, "Child, since you have kowtowed to me, then I will save you." "The skeleton man pinched my mouth open and placed a wooden stick on it.

Then he reached out and slapped me on the back a few times, and said, "Poor child, don't hurt his life." Since you have chosen to be with him, you have to protect this body. If he dies, you will not live. ”

This is not for me, this object is clearly a worm inside me.

After the skeletal man's slapping, a mouthful of black blood spat out from the corner of my mouth, and the discomfort in my heart gradually disappeared.

"Who the hell are you? Why is it ...... So thin......" I asked cautiously after coming to my senses.

The skeleton man said, "It doesn't matter who I am. I have great hatred unreported, I have great unreported hatred......"

The skeleton man said this repeatedly.

I said, "Then you must have had a hard time."

He is already like this, and he still wants to take revenge, it must be very difficult. He must have relied on an extremely strong will to live, otherwise he would have died a long time ago.

"Then why are you hiding in this bomb shelter!" I asked curiously.

The skeleton man said, "I have no choice but to come here." But you, little doll, who is poisoned by poison insects, must have suffered a great deal of suffering when you came here. If it weren't for that, I would never have saved you. Ha ha...... There are so many wicked people in the world, and I have to live to hope that he will be cleaned up. ”

The night was getting deeper.

The skeleton man and I leaned into the cave, and the bustling city in the distance came into view.

When it was almost dawn, footsteps could be heard at the foot of the mountain.

The skeleton man was startled and said, "If they want to ask me, don't say they've seen me." ”

The skeleton man stood up and rushed into the bomb shelter as fast as he could, and the sound of footsteps was heard, and soon there was no trace of him.

But after a while, two people appeared at the entrance of the cave, about the same age as my mother.

The man looks quite dashing, and the woman is also heroic. The two walked in together.

"Kid, are you here alone?" The man asked. He probably thought I was a vagabond, living in a bomb shelter.

I pretended to be sleepy and said impatiently, "Yes, it's just me." ”

The man asked, "Is there anyone else besides you?" ”

I said, "There's only one person." ”

A woman's eyes flashed and she smiled: "Are you really alone?" ”

I got a little impatient and said, "That's right, it's just me." There is no one else here. ”

The woman said, "Brother Guan, this is it." The skeleton man must have been here. ”

The woman was very clever and debunked my lies at once.

I quibbled, "No, I'm the only one here." ”

The man was very frightened and said, "Tell me, child, what is your relationship with the skeleton man." If you don't say it, I'm not kind to you. ”

And the woman on the side suddenly shouted: "Brother Guan, isn't this your gourd?" ”

The woman came up to fetch my gourd, and I pounced on it, saying, "This is what my grandfather left me, don't break my things." ”

The two looked at each other, and the woman even held me and said sharply, "Who is your grandfather?" Where did your gourd come from, if you don't say it, we are really not polite to you. will release centipedes to bite your ......"
