Chapter 7: Bad Proposal
I couldn't describe what I saw, and I was stunned for half a minute before I came back to my senses.
I saw a fleshy thing in the one-meter-high grass. The thing looked like a pillar of flesh, covered in huge pink scales. I don't know how long this pillar of flesh is, and the other end is buried in the grass, and there is no head in sight. There was a cross-cut wound at this end in front of me, and the flesh was rotten, the scales peeling, and the flesh was blurry, and it was horrifying.
What is it? Is it an animal? How does it look like a giant roundworm?
I unconsciously took two steps back, looked in the direction of the leper man, and was about to speak, when the girl suddenly stepped forward to cover my mouth and made a silent motion.
"Shhhhh She pulled me to squat down in the grass and pointed with her chin into the distance.
I didn't know what was going on, only to realize that the procession had stopped, and everyone was all in the grass, cautiously looking in the same direction again. I looked in the direction the girl was pointing, and in the fog in the distance, something seemed to be slowly moving over.
The grass "rattles".
I don't know what it is. A large cloud of white mist drifted over again, and the shadows in the fog slowly approached, and it felt like a person, for I could clearly see the outline of a person's head and shoulders. And it's not just one person, about seven or eight of them.
I said in my heart that it would be easy if it were a human being, and if I shouted now, maybe people could show kindness and save me from the clutches of the cult. But when I thought about it, I immediately realized that something was wrong, and as the shadow slowly approached, I heard a strange sound. The voice was like a lot of people whispering before the movie theater started, and it was far and near, ethereal and ethereal.
Listening closely, I realized that it was all women's voices!
I was in great confusion when the shadows had come out of the fog......
It was a group of women dressed in white. Their fluttering clothes swayed in the wind, their faces were covered by hoods, and their long black hair was scattered over their shoulders. The waist is like a willow, and the figure is extraordinarily enchanting. It's supposed to be a beautiful picture, but I don't like it at all, because these women are crawling on the ground!
I lowered my head and let out a breath, and it was three seconds before I dared to look directly again. I saw that under the white gauze skirt of the woman in front of me, a long, pink soft body tissue was exposed, exactly like the roundworm I had seen in the grass just now.
They don't have legs, they're crawling on this thing!
I can't stand this reptile the most, and I can't help but want to throw up. The man slowly moved to my side and pressed my shoulder.
"What's that?" I asked in a whisper.
"It's a member of the Xuanyuan clan." The man replied in a low voice, "They don't have good eyes, they can't see us, let's go!" With that, the man crept to the grass with his waist bent up.
At the moment, I felt like I was in a dream, a dream that was too outrageous! I must have drunk too much with the turkey last night to do this. I twisted my face and it hurt! I kept telling myself to stay awake, but my mind was so chaotic that I couldn't wake up. What's going on here? There are so many things that are out of the ordinary sense that I feel like I'm going crazy......
I started to think to myself, could this be a movie? After a while, a large group of people with cameras will appear in front of me and say, "Hello, thank you for participating in this episode of the reality show." ”
Is that so?
If this is really a dream, please do it, wake me up!
I pinched the bridge of my sore nose, and the girl slapped me twice in the back, and I slowly calmed down. I decided not to think about it for a while, and saw the move, so I bent my waist and prepared to walk in the direction where the lep man left.
I don't know if it's because more than a dozen of us are moving together. I noticed that the voice of the former Soso was gone, and there was a sudden silence around me. I subconsciously looked back and saw the women in white stop. One of the women turned around and looked at me as well. I saw that there was one eye on her face......
Yes, there was only one big round eye on my whole face, staring at me deadly. The black eyes reveal the light of the forest. I now finally understand why the men say that "they don't have good eyes", they only have one eye, and they can't focus on things.
She just stared at me motionless, and I guessed she must have spotted me! I was so frightened that I didn't think much about it, so I reflexively raised my legs and ran, until I ran four or five hundred meters, and after throwing the team out of the way, I slowly stopped because I was tired. When I looked back, I was deeply relieved to find that the women in white were not chasing after me.
At this time, my legs were trembling because of nervousness.
"What are you running?!" The girl didn't seem to notice what had just happened, and caught up with me and asked me with a gasp. I didn't speak, but I felt that my face must be particularly ugly.
"You...... Are you particularly afraid that I will get lost? I asked her.
"You! Less stinky and beautiful! The girl was displeased, and her hands were on her hips, "Of course you can't run away, you know the reason!" ”
Good! I said to myself, in that case, it would be easy to do. I asked, "Okay, what are you going to do after you arrive in Xuanyuan City?" ”
The girl thought about it, took out her mobile phone, and flipped out a photo to show me. The photograph is the bottom half of Jing Lianhong's "Tuli Gate" -- those map-like drawings made up of lines.
"This is the explanation in the Tulimen 'Ba', which says that these lines are actually a map of the interior of the ancient city of Xuanyuan. See the green line? Follow the line, and you can find the 'golden pit' that Jing Lianhong said! The girl turned off her phone, "What do we want to do, don't you understand?" ”
"Understood." I nodded, "I have one more thing to say, I know that after you find the Golden Pit, it will be up to me to get back to the door." But to tell you the truth, I'm a person who doesn't like to take risks, and my naturally mediocre life is suitable for living at home counting my leg hair. If you asked me to follow you to this Xuanyuan City, in fact, what will happen, you yourself are not sure, right? "I said in my heart, if it weren't for the danger, you wouldn't have found so many big men and brought so many weapons on the road.
The girl looked at me and didn't speak.
"Hypothetical, I mean hypothetical...... If something happens and I die, then you will die here! Even if there is a gold pit or a silver pit at that time, you will not be able to suffer if you find it, am I not wrong? ”
I paused, and continued, "So I propose, don't take me with me, and let me find a safe place around here to wait for you." I promise you won't run around so you can do it too, right? ”
Listening to my words, the girl narrowed her eyes and touched her chin thoughtfully. She walked around me twice, seemingly thinking as she went. "Well, you have a point! There's just a small problem......"
"What's the problem?"
"I can't trust you!" The girl spreads her hands.
I don't like to hear this, I say what is the most important thing between people? It's integrity, integrity! I was cut, I was cheated, I said I didn't even shout, you bear child, what are you yelling about? Saying that, I was in a hurry, "Okay, okay," I said angrily, "then what do you say?" ”
"Actually, it's easy to do."
The girl smiled sweetly, and as soon as her voice fell, I suddenly heard a muffled sound behind my head, and my eyes were dark, and my legs involuntarily weakened and fell.
I don't know how long it took, but when I woke up in a daze, I was stunned.
I found myself in front of the main gate of Xuanyuan City, alone in a bush. There was a white dead tree beside me, and I had an iron chain tied to my right wrist, which was attached to the thick trunk of the dead tree.
I still have a note in my hand, and I unfold it and look at it:
It's a safe place, you count your leg hair slowly and wait for us to come back.
