Mr. Lu seems to have guessed our reaction a long time ago. He whispered, "You don't have to be afraid, as long as you listen to me, there will be no danger." ”

Xue Qian and I snorted in unison.

Although we didn't say it explicitly, everyone knew that Aunt Xue had just been sent to the Ten Thousand Ghost Cave by him, and he was able to say it without shame, which can be regarded as extremely shameless.

Mr. Lu laughed dryly twice and said, "Let's just sit here for the night." When it was daybreak, they went to the stockade. There is one thing I want to make clear in advance, when we get there, we will do what people tell us to do, and don't let it be out of temperament. ”

I nervously asked, "What are they going to do with us?" ”

Mr. Lu was silent, I couldn't see his expression in the dark, I heard him say, "Go to bed first, and you'll know tomorrow." Obviously, he didn't want to remember it.

The ground was so damp that there was no way to sleep at all. Xue Qian and I leaned on each other, hugging our knees and napping.

After a long time, when I was half-asleep and half-awake, I heard Xue Qian muttering in a low voice: "Only at night, when my eyes are black and I can't see anything, I feel that Mr. Lu is Mr. Lu and my mother is my mother." Zhao Mang, you can't imagine how irritable I am these days. Wait for Lu Laodao to get his body back, see if I don't hit him all over his body. ”

I had to yawn and say, "It's almost there." It doesn't take long to save someone. Call me when you hit him. ”

After saying this, I fell asleep in a daze.

In my dream, I saw a black mountain. I was standing at the foot of the mountain, approaching it step by step.

I saw a lot of black holes in the mountains. Suddenly, all the holes moved. That's when I realized that the whole mountain was made of skeletons.

I tried to escape, and the skeletons all opened their mouths wide and shouted in unison, making a tsunami-like cry. Pit Hua Zhen carried.

I shuddered and woke up immediately.

I opened my eyes and saw that it was already dawn.

I took my breath and looked around. We're sitting in a field. Not far from us, there is a small river. Weeds were growing all around us, and the fog was completely wet.

I felt a little cold and I stood up and wanted to bask in the sun. That's when I realized that there was no sun at all.

There are thick clouds in the sky, not to mention a thick fog that can be seen with the naked eye as large as water droplets.

I looked at Mr. Lu, who was packing up: "No wonder you mentioned that you want to enter the village during the day, this place is estimated to have no sun once in ten days and half a month, so you don't have to worry about being burned to the sun." ”

Mr. Lu said a little stupidly: "If there is no sun once in ten days and half a month, it does not mean that the sun will never come out." If I was unfortunate enough to encounter a sunny day, I would have to dig a hole and bury myself. ”

He straightened up and gently kicked Xue Qian: "How is it?" You ready? We're leaving. ”

Xue Qian yawned, looked around carefully, and said, "This is the south, the humidity is so heavy." ”

Mr. Lu did not answer his question, but slowly walked to the river. He took us along the river.

In the south, especially in the uncivilized south, there is never a road between the dense forests and weeds. The river is the road. You walk along the river and you always find people. Provided that there is a human population at all.

We followed Mr. Lu for a while, and gradually heard the sound of people talking. The river turned a corner, and I saw a bamboo building in front of me. They were built on the banks of the river and have a large area.

Mr. Lu looked back at me and said, "Hang the knife on your chest." Try to spread your hands so they know that we have no ill will. ”

I did as I was told, and followed him step by step. Under his feet was the mud on the riverbank, and there was a thud and fluttering sound when he stepped on it.

I don't know if I heard our footsteps or something else. A man soon emerged from the woods. He stood in front of us and blocked our way.

Mr. Lu stood at the front with a smile on his face and did nothing.

The man was shirtless, and the messy hair on his head was coiled up. He walked up to me, stretched out his hand, and took off my broadsword. I obeyed Mr. Lu's instructions and did not move.

He studied it curiously, and reached out to pull out the knife. I secretly complained in my heart: "It's a bad thing to pull it out." ”

Mr. Lu probably also knew that the matter was urgent, so he hurriedly gestured. The two of them seemed to be dumb, and they gestured back and forth for a while. The man actually gave up the intention of drawing the knife, but put the knife on his back and pointed to the bamboo building in front of him, as if inviting us to come over.

I followed behind Mr. Lu and asked in a low voice, "What will happen to my knife?" Will he give it back to me? ”

Mr. Lu also whispered: "Don't worry, the people here won't take your things." ”

We followed the naked man to the center of the stockade. Coming and going, we met a lot of people. These people all looked at us strangely, like monkeys.

Soon, we walked to a bamboo hut. Inside sat a burly man, his skin shining as if it had been anointed.

As we walked in, he said something majestically, so fast-paced and oddly pronounced that we didn't know what he was talking about.

Mr. Lu seemed to understand his words. But he didn't answer the question. Instead, he stretched out his two hands and made a gesture.

In this way, one person speaks, and the other gesticulates. The two of them actually talked enthusiastically.

A few minutes later, the man burst out laughing. Then he shouted something outside.

The stairs of the bamboo building sounded the sound of footsteps, and a moment later, a topless woman walked in. Like the man sitting in the chair, she has healthy black-red skin. I didn't want to admire her body, because I saw that she had a shiny knife in her mouth.

I looked at Mr. Lu with some trepidation, and Mr. Lu made a slightly calmer gesture.

The woman walked up to the man and slowly knelt down. The man touched her face dotingly, then removed the knife.

I was so nervous that I knew that this kind of person couldn't be handled by common sense, maybe he would shake his hand in the next second, throw the knife in his hand as a flying knife, and make a hole in my head.

However, the man did not throw the knife, he gripped the handle of the knife and cut his own fingers.

I looked at him a little strangely and thought, "Is he going to make a blood alliance with us?" There are no bowls here. ”

The man squeezed the blood out of his fingers, then beckoned at me and shouted something with a fierce face.

Mr. Lu said next to me, "He let you pass." ”

Frightened, I walked up to the man, who reached out and drew a line of blood on my brow.

Immediately afterwards, Mr. Lu and Xue Qian were painted with a blood mark. The three of us are like red makeup painted on the eyebrows. At first glance it looks funny, but when you think about it, it's bloody.

Mr. Lu whispered to the two of us: "This blood stain cannot be erased. Otherwise, we won't want to get out of here. ”

I nodded nervously and said, "I understand." ”

The man seemed to be the leader of the place, and when he had done that, he waved his hand. Someone took us down. The men led us to a narrow bamboo hut and closed the door.

Half of this bamboo house is on the riverbank, and the other half protrudes above the water. The mist evaporated from the river, making the inside of the bamboo house even more damp.

I stood in the room and asked Mr. Lui, "What is this?" Did you imprison a few of us? ”

Mr. Lu shook his head: "This bamboo house is very famous. If you see anything tonight, don't speak, don't move, just act as if you didn't see anything. ”

When I heard him say this, I became even more frightened and asked, "Will we see something, ghost?" ”

Mr. Lu took out dry food from his baggage and distributed it to Xue Qian and me. He chewed and said, "I still haven't figured out what it is." But just remember my words and don't move, and it won't hurt you. ”
