Chapter 19: Misfortune
"Let's go back to him." Shen Yungui proposed to Xu Yuan.
The two of them waited for a long time by the river upstream, but they didn't see Xia Beifeng's figure. Shen Yungui thought that he couldn't help anything but make a mess when he went back, and on the other hand, he was a little worried, but he messed up his heart.
Xu Yuan was noncommittal, he didn't have any good ideas in the first place, he just ran around with those two people, and after he arrived in the cave, he didn't dare to act at will, for fear that if he was far away from others, some ghosts would run out of the dark and arrest him.
Shen Yungui put the bag on his back and was about to turn around and walk back, but suddenly felt that something was wrong.
"Little ghost, do you feel ......" Shen Yungui looked at the stone wall made of rocks around them, and frowned, "This place seems to be brighter than just now." ”
"Is there one?" Xu Yuan turned his head and looked around, but didn't find anything suspicious, "I don't think so, it seems to have always been like this." ”
Maybe I'm too sensitive, maybe I'm getting used to the light here after staying in the cave for a long time, Shen Yungui comforted himself, but he still felt that he didn't feel good.
"Ahh Xu Yuan screamed again: "What's that!" ”
"Can you not be so surprised, what else can there be in this place besides the dead......" Shen Yungui followed Xu Yuan's gaze, also stunned. He opened his eyes wide and looked at the direction where the river flowed, and for a while he didn't know what words to use to describe the scene in front of him, and after being stunned for a long time, he held back a sentence that was no different from Xu Yuan's question.
"It's ...... What the? ”
How could I possibly know something you don't always know! Xu Yuan came back to his senses from the shock and secretly rolled his eyes.
The speed of the river became faster at some point, and at this time, a large area of reddish light was flowing downstream, and in the blink of an eye, it was in front of the two of them. The thing is densely covered with the surface of the river, the red is very brilliant and festive, and the atmosphere in the cave is reflected brightly, just like the New Year.
Shen Yungui pulled Xu Yuan back and took a step back, guarding against something in the river that would burst out and hurt people. As a result, the things in the river only passed in front of the two of them for a moment, and continued to flow down the water, and soon disappeared again.
Shen Yungui watched the things in the water drift away, and before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he felt that there seemed to be some vibration under his feet.
What the hell is this time!
"Something's coming, get ready to run." Shen Yungui grabbed Xu Yuan's wrist, looked in the direction of the upstream, felt the subtle vibration under his feet, and was ready to run at any time.
"Oh." Xu Yuan also looked at the upper reaches of the river when he heard this, but he didn't see anything, he turned his head and was about to ask, but before the words could be spoken, he was directly pulled up by Shen Yungui and ran.
You said that I was ready to run, and the preparation time was only three seconds!
Xu Yuan was dragged by Shen Yungui to run two long-distance runs at a speed of 100 meters in one day, and suddenly had the illusion that his little life was about to be explained here.
He glanced back at the thing behind him again, and then quickly looked back at the back of Shen Yungui's head, and his legs, which had already been unable to exert his strength, actually ran a few steps quickly.
Behind them was a mighty swarm of scorpions. The largest of the scorpions, the largest of them larger than a man, the smallest being the size of a fingernail, were now running downstream with the two of them, as if something terrible was chasing them from behind.
The group of scorpions ran much faster than the people, and soon caught up with the two. But none of the scorpions noticed them, or maybe they didn't pay attention, in short, none of them stopped to attack the two, but just moved downstream.
Shen Yungui had no choice but to stop, pulling Xu Yuan against the stone wall of the cave to make way for the scorpion group.
"They don't seem to notice us, that's great." Xu Yuan didn't dare to look at the scorpion group passing by him, and he didn't dare to speak until they all disappeared from sight.
"What a fart." Shen Yungui was almost angry at this kid's thoughts, "Look at this group of things running in such a hurry, maybe there is something behind." ”
Maybe we can't even deal with Xiaobei, then we will really die here. Shen Yungui added a sentence in his heart, and pulled Xu Yuan to continue running downstream.
"Whew......" Xia Beifeng lit a cigarette and lay on the ground with his left arm on his pillow, looking at the rock wall above.
Geya looked at him for a moment with her knees hugged and tilted her head next to him, then reached out and shook it in front of his eyes a few times.
"What are you thinking, why don't you speak?"
"I didn't think about anything, and I didn't know what to say." Xia Beifeng sat up and held the hand that Geya stretched out, "It's you, it's not cold now?" ”
Geya didn't answer, let him hold his hand, turned his head to look at the flowing river, and asked a question that Xia Beifeng had nothing to do with it.
"Will you protect me?"
Do you need my protection for this girl? I want you to protect me! Xia Beifeng's mind was tumbling with all kinds of thoughts, just like a tsunami, but his face was not shocked, and he said with a smile: "Of course, if you need to." ”
"Then can you help me kill Song Yuanshan?" Geya looked back at Xia Beifeng, her eyes seemed to be shining with tears, "I'm so afraid of him." ”
Where is the causal relationship between killing Song Yuanshan and protecting you, excuse me!
Xia Beifeng let go of Geya's hand, crushed the cigarette butt on the sand, patted the non-existent soil on his pants, and stood up.
"Your Royal Highness the Princess, did your mother tell you that you can't believe what a man says."
Of course, I have known for a long time that I can't believe a man's words, but this is the first time I've seen a man like you who changes his face so quickly and is not ashamed but proud!
Geya was really stunned by this man's brazenness. She had always felt that she had lived long enough before today, and she had almost seen all kinds of shameless men. But when I heard Xia Beifeng's words, I had the illusion of "I still seem to be too young".
The two men stood and sat at each other, looking at each other for a moment, but neither of them spoke.
Geya's expression changed from surprise to anger and finally calmed down, and when she laughed again, her smile had long since disappeared from the shyness and timidity she had at the beginning, but with a bit of haughty mockery.
"Say it." Xia Beifeng also smiled nonchalantly, "What do you want me to do?" ”
"Kill Song Yuanshan." Geya also stood up, raised her chin slightly and stared at Xia Beifeng, who was much taller than her, and nodded arrogantly, "If you kill him, I can let you go, I don't know what method you used to make that beast dare not touch you, but what about the two people who came with you, you don't want to let them feed the scorpions here." ”
Not really. Xia Beifeng kicked the knife on the ground that had been forgotten by his master for a long time, and took it in his hand.
"Why do I have to kill him to get out, isn't it the same to kill you?" As he spoke, he took the knife in his hand and spun around a few times, looking up and down at Geya, as if considering where to start.
"It's good for us to kill him, and if I kill him, no one will tell you how to get out." Geya took a step back, staring defensively at the knife in his hand.
Is this a void? Xia Beifeng was a little surprised when he saw Geya's reaction, he was now a little suspicious that this girl really didn't have any backhand.
"You asked me to kill Song Yuanshan...... And what about someone who is still going to kill you. Xia Beifeng continued to play with the knife in his hand, paying attention to the expression on Geya's face, and said lazily: "I look at the mood, I'll talk about it when I meet Song Yuanshan." ”
"So you said yes. I don't need others to worry about my own, I have my own way to deal with that person, you just have to concentrate on watching Song Yuanshan. Geya rolled her eyes at Xia Beifeng and walked towards the river, "It should be dark outside, 'they' are coming, you can do it yourself." ”
What are you talking about? When did I say yes! Can you listen to this girl?
"Then we'll have a meeting later." Xia Beifeng smiled sideways to make way for Geya, and after she walked by, he still couldn't hold back after all, and waved goodbye to her back: "You should be careful, oh, by the way, thank you." ”
Geya's footsteps slammed, and she turned around sharply to give Xia Beifeng a slap, but her hand waved in the air.
"Ah, I didn't." Xia Beifeng took a step back in time, dodged Geya's slap, and looked at Geya with a regretful face, "It's a pity." ”
How can there be a man like you in this world! Geya glared at him, feeling like she could burst into her mouth at any moment.
"Scum!"
"Thank you." Xia Beifeng accepted Geya's "compliment" very calmly, and then asked her with concern: "Why don't you leave?" ”
Geya really turned around and walked away this time, she ran a few steps without looking back, entered the river, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Why are you so unteased, have you lived in vain for so many years?
Xia Beifeng watched Geya disappear into the river, and he didn't feel guilty at all about what he had done. He put the knife away, remembering everything Guya had said - although few of the girl's stories were true, there was something useful in the end, but he didn't know what she was trying to do. Originally, there was still a clue, but she always felt that what was originally quite simple was complicated.
The "they" that Geya refers to are those things from last night, and this kind of mass ghost procession is normally just a repetition of what happened before they died, and it is usually impossible to see a human in the same space as them, unless this person has something to do with their death. Looking at last night, it was more or less the same. So Geya is so afraid of "them" because she has something to do with the death of this group of people.
But she told me to be careful, was she careful of "them"? Or let me be careful of something else, does that mean Song Yuanshan? Speaking of Song Yuanshan, what kind of thing is he now, what kind of sadomasochistic relationship is he with Geya, who is in love with each other in his past and present lives, how can he abandon his wife while loving to death, and at the same time he can't wait to crush the other party's bones and ashes...... Then again, where did Zhao Yang go?
At least one thing can be determined for now, though. Xia Beifeng faced the direction where Geya had just disappeared, stared at the sparkling river, and said, "River God girl, if you are here, just listen to me...... In the past two days, there may be more offenses on your turf, don't be surprised. ”
Xia Beifeng said this. Seeing that the river still did not change, there was not even a hint of breeze in the empty cave.
It's not there!
He felt that he was almost going to be nervous by this river god girl, because he really couldn't be sure whether the river god in this river was still there, so he simply stopped thinking about it and faced it first. He re-lit a cigarette and looked up the river.
He was already aware of the slight tremors coming from the riverbank over there, and he was waiting intently for something to appear in the darkness.
The mighty scorpion group soon appeared in sight, Xia Beifeng, like Shen Yungui, chose to make way for them, who knew that when the group of scorpions arrived in front of him, they no longer continued to move forward, but turned a corner, and began to go down the river with a roar.
The sound of "plop, plop" continued to sound in the empty hole, like dumplings, and the scorpions rushed into the river and disappeared one after another. It wasn't until the last scorpion went into the water that it hesitated by the river for a moment, and turned around to come towards the summer north wind.
The scorpion climbed to a position two or three meters in front of Xia Beifeng and stopped.
The charcoal in the fire rang and a spark popped out.
