Chapter 746: Grandma
The tone was not low, it was flat, and it was impossible to tell whether it was a man or a woman.
Wuwu reacted surprisingly quickly this time, and he had already run far away.
Jin Jiazi wanted to withdraw his hand, but he felt extremely difficult, his two arms were squeezed tightly by everyone, and he couldn't move at all, he could only ask tremblingly: "You, you are... Eldest brother? Or the eldest sister? ”
"Grandma." The man spoke without a tone of voice.
"You, why do you open your mouth and scold people, I, I-" Jin Jiazi was a little angry, but when she thought that her key point was completely leaked in front of the other party, she immediately softened her tone again: "You, are you a ghost or a human?" ”
"It's not a ghost."
Jin Jiazi finally let out a sigh: "It's okay, it's okay-"
"It's not human, either."
Jin Jiazi immediately took another breath: "That, then you are—"
"Grandma."
Swearing again!
Jin Jiazi really couldn't bear it anymore, but he saw that Brother Mu next to him "snapped" and turned on a flashlight, shining around, and finally found the direction of Jin Jiazi, everyone looked at the electric light in some panic, and saw that Jin Jiazi's head was hiding backwards vigorously, with sideways eyes, as if he didn't dare to look directly at the face in front of him-
Brother Mu's flashlight finally shone on that person's face, gray and dry, lifeless, the wrinkles on his face seemed to be carved with a chisel, and it would not change at all because of the change in expression, not to mention that the face seemed to have no expression at all, if it weren't for the occasional blink of an eye, people would really treat it as a dead corpse, the little driver and Mo Yejiu were a little scared, and the two snake demons seemed to feel a little uneasy, they all leaned to the side one after another, and with such a move, Jin Jiazi's arm loosened suddenly, and he quickly withdrew his hand and made a defensive posture. Just wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Brother Mu, who said to the man kindly: "Yes, it's grandma, right?" ”
The man nodded, and with such a move, everyone realized that she had a bun coiled behind her head, which turned out to be really an old lady.
"I guess you let us in and hide just now-" Brother Mu smiled: "You really helped us a lot, I thank you on behalf of everyone!" ”
The old lady let out an "um" and didn't move her eyes.
Brother Mu didn't care, and asked with a smile: "Grandma, what is your surname?" What do you call it? ”
"Stone." The old lady seems to cherish words like gold.
"Hello Grandma Shi!" Mo Yejiu suddenly snatched the words: "We want to find a way out of here." Do you know? He seemed anxious, as if he didn't want to stay here for a moment.
"I want to know too." The old lady glanced at Mo Yejiu, as if she could see his face through the darkness.
"So, do you know where the water is?" Bai Pang also asked, "The kind that can be drunk." ”
The old lady shook her head, not knowing whether it meant or not.
"Do you have a home?" Jin Jiazi thought of the old lady as Alzheimer's, and said as she gestured with her hand to shape the house, "There are people living in it - the old man, the old woman... Adults, children? ”
The old lady glanced at him faintly. Two words were spoken: "Into the city." ”
"Into the city, into the city?!" Jin Jiazi was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then there was a burst of ecstasy, Cheng! County! I thought I could find a small village, fill my stomach, and fill my bags. But I didn't expect there to be a county seat nearby! This indicates that they can not only sacrifice to the temple, but may even hire a car again, thus saving most of the trouble of traveling.
When the old lady finished speaking, she pushed open the door and walked out, and everyone noticed. I don't know when the "rustling" sound of the roof has disappeared, and they look out through the crack in the door. The "sand rain" really stopped, the sky was blue, there was no cloud, the sun was a little poisonous, exuding an annoying heat, the sun spread on the sand, and there were bursts of heat waves.
A "pouring sand rain" made the "sand level" of the sand rise more than ten centimeters, people stepped on the sand, one foot deep and one foot shallow, it was really a bit like walking in the mud after the rainstorm, but every step, the large and small sand particles poured into the shoe hole, grinding the two feet painfully, but more uncomfortable than the mud.
Mo Yejiu is a literati, he may not have suffered this kind of crime in ordinary times, he couldn't stand it after walking a few steps, but he didn't make a noise, took his backpack, flipped in it for a while, and actually found a pair of boots, put them on his feet and stepped on the ground, and fell into the sand for a few minutes, but the edge of the shoes was just higher than the sand, and he walked a few steps tentatively, which was really suitable, and not a single grain of sand fell into the shoes, his face was happy, and he strode forward, but he didn't find that Brother Mu and Jin Jiazi had been watching behind him, and the two looked at each other meaningfully, I followed suit...
Walking in shoes filled with sand grains is an extremely painful thing, not to mention trekking through mountains and rivers to walk him for a hundred and eighty miles, even if it is close to grinding a hundred and eighty meters, it is not possible, that can make people get rid of a layer of skin, the feet are awkward, the grinding is full of big bubbles, and it hurts as soon as it touches the ground, although it is not unbearable, but it can't stand "the old wound is not scarred, and the new injury is scabbed", a grain of sand can cause a piece of injury, not to mention that it is full of Dengden all of a sudden, and in the end it is Jin Jiazi who set an example, simply take off his shoes, Walking barefoot, the sand is a little hot, but it is also a little comfortable to get used to, and there is a little bit of foot massage feeling.
"Grandma Shi, what's the name of this place? Why haven't I heard much about it in the past? Brother Mu caught up with the old lady who was walking like a fly, and asked while speeding up his pace.
"Sandstone top." The old lady walked so fast, but she didn't change her color at all, and her tone was still very flat.
"Sandstone top?" Brother Mu repeated, "Well, it's a very apt name, grandma, has this place always been so weird?" There is no rain in the sky, but sand falls. ”
"A month ago." The old lady spoke concisely and to the point.
"You mean it started a month ago?"
The old lady nodded.
"Do you know why?"
The old lady did not speak, but at last there was a noticeable change in her expression—she frowned, looking a little worried.
Of course, Brother Mu would not miss this detail, and he immediately asked again: "Grandma, please sue me, is it related to some demon monsters?" He has already determined one thing, the old lady is definitely not an ordinary person, which can be seen from her several expressions, such as: appearing alone in this desert, calmly facing the "sand rain", having steady and light footwork, and being quite familiar with this place, etc., etc., all of which made Brother Mu feel surprised and puzzled, but he didn't have too many suspicions this time, as if he instinctively felt that this old woman who looked cold and cold was not like a wicked person. Of course, intuition is intuition, and Brother Mu still has the vigilance to defend against others, so he must let the old lady say more words, and use this to dig out the truth of the matter, or find out her loopholes, in short, this is an absolutely valuable breakthrough.
But the old lady still disappointed him, and then whatever he asked and asked, the old man hummed and coped with it, until an incident happened later that made her talk less-
At that time, Brother Mu was next to her to ask about the "insect tide", but the old lady suddenly stopped, frowned and looked back.
Although the steps of the next few people were not big, they also tried to keep up, except for Mo Yejiu and Lan Lan, everyone else followed Jin Jiazi and took off their shoes, everyone was walking very hard, but they found a phenomenon that made them feel strange-
Bai Pang avoided him far away from Hong Shou since he was barefoot, and the little driver and Mo Yejiu, who were a little closer, suddenly covered their mouths and noses, sped up a few steps, and opened a long distance, before they let go of their hands and gasped for a while, no need to ask, they must have been smoked by Hong Shou's stinky feet.
Just when everyone figured out the reason and bypassed Hong Shou one after another, Jin Jiazi was surprised to find that every time Hong Shou stepped on it, the sand on the ground spread out to all sides with a "volacy", directly exposing the ground below, and the same situation was the same when he stepped over.
"It's Shaling—" Lan Lan said in the back, "Every grain of sand can sense its surroundings like an animal. ”
Jin Jiazi understood the meaning of this, which means that the sand under their feet has no eyes, but they can see, they have no ears, but they can hear, and they have no nose, but they can and smell...
Jin Jiazi was stunned by the wonder of "Sha Ling" on the one hand, and on the other hand, he was also secretly amazed at the two "weapons of mass destruction" under Hong Shou's legs, and even the sand and stones retreated in a hurry, this guy is absolutely amazing!
Grandma Shi looked back at the sand at Hong Shou's feet, her brows furrowed more and more, Brother Mu saw this and hurriedly asked if there was anything wrong, and the old lady said two words, "Run!" Then he turned around and rushed forward, Brother Mu greeted everyone behind him, and followed, the group didn't know what was going on, but they had experienced too much before, and now they were all like frightened birds, and they were nervous at the slightest breeze, and they didn't ask much, and they even ran and sped up.
Everyone had the sun on their heads, and their mouths were dry, and they felt even more hot and sweaty when they ran up, and when everyone was a little dizzy, they suddenly heard Jin Jiazi shouting in surprise: "Yes, there are trees!" ”
The woods in the desert are generally called oases, and where there is an oasis, there is a water source, especially when everyone sees the emerald green in the distance and is surrounded by a large cloud of white mist, they seem even more excited - there is a fog made of water vapor, there is an "expert" water tribe, water, can there be?
Brother Mu also had a smile on his face, but he inadvertently glanced at Grandma Shi, but found that her expression was solemn, and the cold air on her face became thicker and thicker...
"Get around!" Grandma Shi said with a dark face, but when she said this, everyone had already surpassed her and rushed towards their "land of hope" in a frenzy...... (To be continued......)
