Chapter 34: The Wolf by the Creek

"Mom."

I was subconsciously startled, and my whole body jumped back. Jiang Yinghu glanced at me suspiciously, but he was not afraid, but took a step forward and said in a deep voice: "He was nailed and couldn't get out." ”

Well?

I walked over to the coffin and looked at it, and saw that the pillar was really struggling with his eyes open, but because there were nails nailing his head to death, he couldn't lift his head no matter how hard he struggled.

"Look at the real seething......" I muttered, "look at his eyes, so wide. Round. ”

Jiang Ying turned his head to look at me, and he wondered, "Jiang Cheng, you don't panic in the face of so many strong people, but I think you seem to be ...... Afraid of ghosts? ”

I swallowed. Strong and calm, he said: "How can you be afraid, don't be kidding, I'm a Taoist priest." ”

"He's reaching for you." Jiang Ying suddenly shouted.

"Ahh

I screamed in fear and my whole body jumped. Jiang Ying looked at me with disdain. I coughed vigorously twice: "Don't make a fool of yourself, what do you think is going on?" ”

"There is no doubt that it must be absorbing people's vitality...... "Jiang Ying explained, "this pillar is actually a dead man. But it seems to have been refined into a puppet, the same as his master. So it seems that the man who hit the nail was not in the village, otherwise he would have arrived long ago. Because once we opened. It will cause the leakage of vitality, which can be said to make that person's efforts in vain. ”

I nodded, if my efforts had been in vain, I would have wanted to kill. And no one has come at the moment, so it can be seen that the two are still on the mountain.

"Let's rest," I whispered...... "and go up the mountain after dawn, and I can't wait to see what's going on inside." ”

Jiang Ying snorted, as the saying goes, saving someone's life is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter, although the people in this mountain village have nothing to do with me, but if I meet him, I will inevitably be unhappy. I pierced the pillar's head with mercy, and the golden bead of the robbery had the wonderful effect of turning yin qi into yang energy, and when mercy pierced it, the pillar's body immediately began to spontaneously combust, and after a while, the corpse was already burned to the ground.

Seeing the corpses turned to ashes, I smiled and said, "The villagers have come back from their lives, and they don't have that strange feeling." ”

Jiang Ying looked at me with interest, and he sneered: "I can see everything after living for a long time, and Jiang Cheng, who came out of Gentle Township, can actually do good deeds." I said, haven't you always been quite selfish? Let's talk about it, it's rare to do a great deed, what does it feel like in your heart? ”

I calmly said, "Don't talk this nonsense to me, I'll go back to sleep." ”

Jiang Ying saw that I didn't want to say more. He shrugged his shoulders and didn't say anything. We went back to Zhao Ajin's house to rest for the night, and when we got up the next day, the body of the pillar had naturally not been found, and Zhao Ajin had already prepared all the utensils. Waiting to accompany me into the mountains.

Walking into the forest, Zhao Ajin seemed to forget the embarrassment of last night, and he said to us very seriously: "There are more beasts here, it's better to be careful." Otherwise, if you encounter a wild beast, I will not be able to protect you, and I need to make things clear first, so that you will not come to me to settle accounts. ”

I laughed and said, "You don't have to worry, even if I meet a black blind man, I can chop it up." ”

Zhao Ajin seemed to remember that I had broken his bow and arrow yesterday, and he didn't suspect me of bragging, so he led the way in front. Jiang Ying felt it at this time. He frowned and said, "I always feel that the mountain is in front of me. ”

"The mountain ahead?"

I look ahead, there are a lot of mountains in front of me, but the nearest mountain is very close, not too high, and the problem is very big. I asked Zhao Ajin, "If you climb this mountain, how long will it take?" ”

"It is estimated that it will take at least two ......," Zhao Ajin shook his head and said, "You have to go around, you don't seem to be far away, but there is a cliff in front of us, we need to walk around the cliff." And there are wolves in there, which is very dangerous. ”

"Then do as you say." I laughed.

Zhao Ajin shrugged. Take us to walk in this mountain forest. Jiang Ying seemed to be moved by the scenery in the mountains, and he said softly: "I suddenly want to chant a poem." ”

"Tell me about it." "Someone once told me he wanted to recite a poem, and he died. ”

Jiang Ying laughed, then looked at the scene, and said loudly: "One tree, two trees, three trees, four trees, five trees...... Ah, countless trees. ”

I looked at Jiang Ying in disbelief and was deeply shocked by his literary skills. Unexpectedly, although Jiang Ying doesn't like to talk on weekdays, once she speaks, her writing skills are so rubbish.

Jiang Ying glanced at me, and he said lightly: "Don't try to say any nonsense to me, my memory is inherited from you." So no matter how high my IQ is, my literary skills still have to follow yours. ”

I thought about it, so I didn't dare to speak.

"Huh?"

Just as we were chanting poems against each other, Zhao Ajin suddenly screamed in surprise. I asked what was wrong, and he took two steps forward, then crouched down as if to check something. I went to him to check, but I saw a footprint on the ground, which I could see at a glance when I grew up in the mountains. Those were wolf footprints.

"It's weird......" I couldn't help but frown.

Zhao Ajin turned his head to look at me, and he asked, "What do you think is strange?" ”

I said seriously: "The footprints are not right, but there are different shades in one footprint." But the soil conditions here are pretty much the same. In other words, when the wolf walks, it seems to be shaking, and its center of gravity is unstable. As a result, the same footprint has a deep and shallow condition. And you see, the toe prints on the outside of it are a little deeper, indicating that it is always likely to fall. ”

Zhao Ajin nodded and said, "Yes, I think it's very strange." Wolves are all packs. These footprints were left by a lone wolf, but why did it stagger? ”

Jiang Ying said nonchalantly: "This is not simple, it means that the sick wolf was left behind by the clan." ”

I said in a deep voice: "If the direction of this footprint is towards the mountain village, then your conjecture is correct, it means that the sick wolf wants to go to the village to steal some chickens and ducks to eat, after all, wolves are very smart and cunning things." But the problem is that the direction of this footprint is towards the depths of the mountain forest, if it is not in good physical condition. Why do you want to go into the forest? ”

Jiang Ying thought about it, he said indifferently: "You guys can discuss it yourself, anyway, I only met you after you left the mountain, and I didn't inherit the memories in the mountain, so I don't understand anything." ”

I glanced at Zhao Ajin, and then said softly: "Keep walking, maybe it's just an accident." And as I said, even if something happens, I'll protect you. ”

Zhao Ajin nodded with difficulty, probably remembering the matter of the pillar, his expression was not very good-looking.

We continued to go deeper, and Zhao Ajin said to us seriously: "There are some more roads ahead. It's the creek. If the wolf was really weak, he would have gone over to drink water, and I still cared. ”

"Then let's go see it......," I whispered, "and I'd like to decorate some water, too." ”

Zhao Ajin was relieved to see that I agreed. He took us around the forest, and when we walked down a small slope, he said that there was a stream.

I took the kettle out of my backpack and prepared to fill it with some water to drink, but as soon as I crossed the small slope, I was stunned. Not only me, but Jiang Ying and Zhao Ajin also looked at the situation in front of them, their eyes widening in disbelief.

There was a stream in front of us, and beside that stream lay the corpses of a dozen wolves. These wolves lay on the ground like dried corpses, clean, but terrifyingly dry.

Zhao Ajin called out in surprise, he was about to go forward to check the situation, I grabbed his shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "Don't go over." ”

"They're all dead, what are you afraid of?" Zhao Ajin wondered.

I looked at the corpses of those wolves and said in a deep voice, "If you look at the corpses, you know that they have been dead for a while, but the problem is ...... There wasn't even a fly on this corpse, such a corpse...... Do you dare to approach? ”

Zhao Ajin realized the seriousness of the matter, he swallowed his saliva, and his whole body couldn't help but tremble......
