Chapter Twenty-Three: The Underwater Eye
When the GI said this, we all stopped and looked around.
A thick fog had risen in the swamp in the distance, and the fog was slowly approaching us.
"What's going on?" Dad looked at the fog: "It wasn't there just now, why did it come out so much at once?" As soon as the words fell, the fog was already enveloping us.
"Let's stop leaving, let's see the situation." Seeing that the fog had reached us, the soldier took out his gun and shouted at us without saying a word, it is estimated that the soldier has been frightened in the past few days, and he will not say anything when he encounters the situation.
The fog here is not the same as the fog outside, it is very thick, like the smoke coming from a fire, and it is no longer visible from a meter away. As soon as I saw this, my heart began to beat the drum, and there wouldn't be any more moths, would it?
"Maybe it's a natural phenomenon in the swamp, everyone calm down and don't be nervous." Sanzi smiled at us and pointed to the side: "When there was no fog just now, I saw a reed, which should be dry, let's go there and rest for a while." ”
Dad nodded, and led us in the direction pointed by the third son, all the way I was carrying my heart, for fear of some accidents. It wasn't until we all sat down on the reeds that I slowly relaxed, and it seemed that I was really thinking too much, maybe it was just ordinary fogging.
"Let's wait here for the fog to clear before leaving, otherwise it will be troublesome to get lost or encounter danger in a while." Dad took out a cigarette and threw it to us, lit one for himself, put his luggage on the reeds, leaned on it, and began to close his eyes and recuperate: "Let's rest for a while, it should be fine." ”
Dad said that, and we didn't think much of it, so we sat on the floor and started chatting.
"Old Song, don't you think this fog is a bit weird?" I looked at the fog around me that was getting thicker and thicker, and suddenly felt uneasy: "This thing is spreading too fast!" ”
When Lao Song heard me say this, he was stunned for a moment and smiled: "It's okay, didn't my uncle say it's okay!" After a while, when the fog clears, let's continue walking. ”
I hope so, listening to what Lao Song said, I don't have much to say, looking at the fog around me, there is an indescribable feeling in my heart, as if we are surrounded by something. When I thought of this, the cold sweat on my back suddenly broke out, and I walked up to my dad in a few steps and asked eagerly, "Dad, have you ever heard of anything in the swamp that can make the fog come out all at once?" ”
Dad heard me ask, opened his eyes and looked at me disdainfully and said, "Little rabbit, tell you to read and read, there is nothing in the swamp that can make the fog come out at once, don't think about it there, get out and rest!" ”
Hey, Dad, you're really my real dad. As soon as I heard my dad say this, the tears were about to fall, you old man can have a snack! There are so many unexpected things during this time, it doesn't hurt to think about it!
I went back to Lao Song with a depressed face and sat down, lowered my head and smoked, the more I smoked, the more I felt angry, his uncle.
"What's wrong? Educated by an uncle? Seeing my unhappy look, Lao Song asked curiously: "Tell me, tell me if you are unhappy, let me be happy!" ”
"Let's have fun! Your uncle's! ”
After resting on the reeds for a while, we suddenly realized that something was wrong.
"It's been four or five hours, why hasn't the fog cleared yet?" Six Fingers looked at the surrounding fog and said with an ugly face, "What's going on?" ”
"It seems that this fog is not simple, everyone be careful." Dad kept muttering with a calm face: "It's really worrying this rabbit cub, it's really troublesome." ”
When we first went to rest on the reeds, it was supposed to be around seven o'clock in the morning, and it was normal for the fog to get up, but now it was almost twelve o'clock at noon, and the fog had not yet cleared! There was no sign of fading at all, it was still so thick that it was completely unsightly.
I'm already calm, anyway, there are a lot of bad things along the way, I'm used to it, if something strange doesn't happen, I really think it's strange.
Seeing that everyone was starting to get nervous, Lao Song said with a smile: "I'll tell you a joke and relax." ”
"Get out." We said with a blank face.
Seeing that we were so faceless, Lao Song's face froze suddenly, and he held back the words that he was about to say.
"Such a big fog, could it be that thing?" Dad sat on the sidelines and looked at the mist and muttered, "If it's really that thing, it's going to be troublesome." ”
I was just about to walk over and ask my dad what that thing was, when suddenly the fat man exclaimed, "Come and see, everyone!" What are these things! "We heard the fat man's voice, and immediately got up and ran over.
"What's wrong?" Dad asked with a calm face.
"Look, under the water!" The fat man pointed to the swamp in front of him with a pale face, and we looked at the place where the fat man pointed out, and the scalp began to tingle, what are these things!
I saw a pair of black soybean-sized eyes faintly visible under the water, densely covered with the swamp in front of us, just like a piece of white paper sprinkled with black sesame seeds. "As soon as I was sitting here smoking, these things came out one by one!"
Yes, don't bite if there are more lice, anyway, we're used to it, let's see the tricks.
"Stay away from the water, don't go near the water." Dad took out a glass bottle from his bag, which was filled with orange powder, and from the bottle he spread a handful of powder everywhere, and sprinkled it around our small reeds: "I don't know what those things are, I hope realgar is of some use." ”
I don't know if it was the realgar that played a role or something else, but these things just kept blinking and staring at us underwater, without the slightest intention of getting close to the reeds.
"Dad, what are these things?" My scalp tingled and I shuddered, "Are these youkai?" ”
"Monster, how do I know what these things are! The fog is so big and the water is so muddy, look at it? Dad said angrily.
"I don't think these things have any ability, otherwise they would all come up and brush up on our copies now!" Lao Song smoked a cigarette and looked at the eyes in the water with disdain, as if he was communicating with the things in the water, and the voiceover should be like this.
Old Song: "You guys come up and try?" ”
Eyes: "You guys come down and try it?" ”
Lao Song: "There is a kind of you coming up!" ”
Eyes: "There's a kind of you coming down!" ”
Before I could finish thinking about it, Lao Song angrily took a wooden stick and stabbed it in the eyes below, and kept scolding in his mouth: "Your uncle!" is so arrogant in front of Lao Tzu! "I almost didn't laugh when I saw it, this grandson didn't make eye contact with people, and he was hairy.
I have to say that we mortals can never understand what Lao Song is thinking in his head, he is a strange man, everyone understands.
Before I could laugh, Lao Song's wooden stick had already poked into those eyes, and when I looked closely, the cold sweat on my head came out.
The wooden stick with the thickness of the wrist was gnawed into the thickness of chopsticks in an instant.
