【Chapter 67】Thatched House
The two of them began to rush forward silently, first, I don't know if there are any pursuers behind the road, so they should speed up as much as possible, and try to distance themselves before the other party confirms the direction of their escape; Second, this thatched hut didn't know how far the road was, and if they couldn't see it for a moment, they couldn't be steady for a moment, so the two of them were also anxious, and they were desperately moving forward like a rapid march, just moving forward along the crooked mountain road under their feet, like two wandering spirits shuttling through the forest by the hazy moonlight.
Just over two hills, three months without physical training, the two people feel that their ankles are sore, their calves are also a little stiff, and their clothes are tightly wrapped in water, the taste is too uncomfortable, and the rapid movement and friction of the body cause both of them to feel extremely itchy.
Especially Zulong, his physical fitness is his weakness, and his cardiopulmonary function is damaged to varying degrees, so he began to be a little unbearable as soon as he tossed, and his breathing was not as smooth and long as before, and a large amount of saliva began to appear in his mouth, and a rusty smell seemed to flood his mouth for no reason. Just when Zu Long's physical strength began to decline sharply, a thatched hut suddenly appeared in front of the two of them.
Luo Wen and Zu Long hurriedly reduced their speed, first looked at their watches, confirmed the direction, and it seemed that the thatched hut in the mouth of the inner guard was here. The two of them took a few breaths before slowly moving towards the thatched hut. But when he was less than twenty meters away from the thatched house, Luo Wen suddenly squatted down on Zu Long's shoulder, his eyes were firmly fixed on the thatched house, and he frowned and said to Zu Long: "Something is wrong"
Zu Long's vision is actually good, or very good, but it is still much worse than Luo Wen, so it is difficult for Zu Long to see too many details at this distance late at night.
Zu Long looked at the blurry black shadow and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Rowan pondered before saying, "There's a lamp hanging at the door of the house."
Rowan wondered, "What's wrong with that?" ”
Rowan frowned and said word by word: "That's a human skin lamp!" ”
"Skin lamp?" Zu Long followed and looked intently, and sure enough, in the black area, there was an angular rectangular object swaying lightly in the wind, but he couldn't see what it was, and if it wasn't for Rowan saying that he wouldn't have paid attention at all.
Luo Wen took out three barrels of revolver from behind his waist and said to Zu Long: "Zu Shao, be careful. Human skin lanterns have existed since ancient times, and I heard the old people in the institute say that they are also called ghost lanterns and immortal lanterns, and they are a place to accept grievances.
The wandering soul and wild ghost follow the light of this lantern, merge into lamp oil, twist into a wick, with the flame of the wick, the soul of the wronged soul is burned in the fire, the person who lights the lamp can smoke this lamp for three years can be inviolable, immortal, but this person has also become a walking corpse, the heart does not beat and blood does not flow, does not eat or drink, can not enjoy the wealth of the world"
Zu Long wondered: "Then what's the meaning of being immortal, isn't it a living sin?" ”
Rowan snorted: "Yes, it's a living crime." The people who lit this ghost lantern don't want to be rich or wealthy at all, they are all the masters of the sea of blood and revenge, and they live to avenge their hatred."
Zu Long also had a chill after hearing this, it seems that the power of hatred is sometimes greater than that of love.
Rowan pointed to the right side, Zu Long comprehended and walked around with a short sword, Rowan himself outflanked from the left, and the two slowly touched the thatched house.
The closer he got to Zulong, the more clearly he could see that this was a broken grass hut that could not be broken again, the straw on it had collapsed, only the surrounding area was still scattered and a little uneven, and the walls of the house were all made of yellow mud and adobe bricks, because the years had been too long, they had begun to turn white, and now they were full of cracks.
A dilapidated wooden door was tightly shut, and the two faded doors on it had been peeled, and the human skin lantern was swaying gently in the wind. The lantern was boxy and angular, hollow and hollow, with four pieces of human skin in the middle, and the human skin was extremely tight, like a drum, and it looked like a ...... from the lines and pores Lady's belly!
Zu Long felt a wave of disgust in his heart, because these were four whole women's skins, and they were all part of the lower abdomen, because the bottom of each skin was a navel!
At this moment, Luo Wen, who was only a few steps away from Zu Long, suddenly made a standby gesture to Zu Long, and then pointed to his ears with two fingers, then pointed to the inside of the grass hut, and then put two fingers under his nostrils. Zu Long immediately clung to the earthen wall of the grass hut, and listened with a short sword, because Luo Wen's gesture was telling him: I heard someone breathing inside!
Rowan pointed to Zu Long, Zu Long nodded, then supported the ground with both hands, slowly stood upside down, and then bent his arms slightly, and bounced himself upside down with the strength of his arms.
Zu Long quietly pulled away a pinch of straw and looked inward, but at this glance, Zu Long was shocked!
Before he could inform Rowan, he heard a muffled sound, and where Rowan was squatting, the wall was knocked open with a big hole from the inside out, and Rowan was knocked out of the air because he was too accidental! In an instant, the broken yellow mud on the outside of the earthen wall, and the mud bricks inside, erupted like a scattered bomb, as if it was a site of engineering blasting!
I saw a huge black shadow appear in the smoke and dust, and I heard only a voice shouting in my ears: "Where is the demon peeping at your grandfather Hai sleeping!" General Lao Tzu is here, and you dare to be rampant! ”
After Luo Wen was knocked into the air, he turned over and unloaded his strength, turned around and stood up to take a look, and then scolded: "Zhao Haikuan! Are you crazy? I almost didn't kill you! ”
Zu Long rode on the wall holding a bundle of straw and leaned back and closed with a smile, looked at Luo Wen's grizzled face and said: "Wen'er, our sea is not the original stunned now, let's eat deflated today!" ”
Rowan was also happy when he heard it, patted the dust on his body and looked at the sea.
"Team Luo? Ancestor Shao? "This black light is blinding, the sea is not as good as these two people, in fact, I can't see who is who, but this voice is familiar and unfamiliar, but I still instinctively asked vigilantly.
Zu Long jumped to the shoulder of the sea on one side of his legs, rode the neck of the sea, and slashed the head of the sea with a short sword, and muttered in his mouth: "I have to see, is it that the brain inside has grown up, how did this guy become smarter, and he still knows that Lu Dao is stronger to strike first?" ”
As soon as the sea heard this, he stretched out his hand and grabbed Zulong's legs, but Zulong was happy, supporting the sea's head with one hand, and came to a one-handed horse, and then his legs were on one side again, landing steadily.
Rowan shook off the dirt in his neck and asked, "Why are you here?" ”
When the sea saw that the two of them were extremely happy, Le's mouth couldn't close, so he quickly let the two of them into the house, took out a smokeless lamp from his bag and lit it, and looked at the two of them again and again, and the two of them were hairy before they spoke.
It turned out that after receiving the call, the sea went to the doorman to fill out the list, and it didn't take long for the black-headed car in Pingshan to arrive, and the sea fell into a coma after taking a pill, and when he woke up, he was here, and a combat backpack was placed beside him. There was a letter on the backpack, which roughly meant that the sea would pick up Rowan and Zulong here, and then go to Hunan to find a person named Chen Blind, but he didn't leave a specific address.
The sea doesn't know if it's true or not, but since Luo Wen and Zulong are mentioned inside, he just waits hard, but in this place where birds don't in the wilderness, even if he is bold, he has to be cautious, so he has been guarding the house carefully.
The sea scratched his ass and asked, "Why did you find me?" ”
Zu Long listened to a piece of music: "Your snoring is too rhythmic, absolutely rare in the world!" ”
Rowan also wondered, "How did you know that I was outside?" ”
The sea laughed wickedly: "I already knew that someone was coming, and I pretended to be snoring!" How big my heart can sleep in this deep mountain and old forest! I can see clearly through the cracks in the bricks, you're from the right, but I didn't see the ancestral dragon come out."
Rowan scolded with a smile: "There are more eyes than before!" ”
Zu Long and Rowan took off their clothes and pants and let the sea twist it, although it was almost spring, it was still very cold here, and Rowan and the others didn't dare to light a fire to keep warm, so they could only wring out the moisture in the clothes as much as possible, and then put it back on their bodies.
The sea squeezed out the water in Luo Wen's shoes and asked, "Team Luo, what's next?" Where are we going? ”
Luo Wen sat barefoot on the cold ground and thought for a while, and replied: "The direction we are in now is unknown, but it should be in Hebei."
The sea handed the shoes to Rowan and asked, "How do you know the way?" ”
Luo Wen said while putting on his shoes: "Pingshan should not be far from Suoli, according to the geographical location, Hebei is the most likely"
Zu Long nodded: "I think so too, and from the perspective of climate, this place should also be in the north, otherwise the water can't be so cold this season."
The sea threw the shoe that had drained the water to Zu Long: "You understand again, right? ”
Rowan wiped the soil off his glasses, and then looked at the compass on his watch: "Since our old man asked us to turn here, then we should go all the way east, I believe it won't be too long before we can get out of this forest."
Zu Long pointed out the door: "What's the matter with that human skin lantern?" ”
Luo Wen looked at the ancestral dragon's finger, thought for a while, and said: "I can't care about this now, it's not the time for extraneous branches" He looked at the time again, "It's three fifty in the morning, and the sky will start to light in another hour, we must leave here immediately, and leave now"
After speaking, he glanced at the lantern again, cleaned it up briefly, and the three of them set off.
The three of them walked east along the path just now, through the dense jungle, Rowan and Zulong began to have a hypothermic reaction because they were wearing clothes and pants soaked with water, and then they roasted a fire in a cave for a while, which made the two feel better. After resting for half an hour, the three of them went on the road again, and when they crossed the third mountain, the reflection of the city glass in the distance was as bright as the stars competing for day, and the three of them couldn't open their eyes.
