Chapter 5: The Strange Scarecrow
Li Xuan saw a black shadow appear in front of him, and ran up with joy, but the black shadow he saw was not a person, but a few scarecrows supported on the ground, because the scarecrow was wearing a cloth and a straw hat, he felt like a person standing there.
Li Xuan was disappointed, it was actually a scarecrow, this piece was originally a rice field, so it was not a strange thing to have a scarecrow, he continued to walk forward very helplessly, looking at the scarecrow that was hung up quietly, there was an indescribable sense of loneliness, but it was more of a weirdness.
Because these scarecrows looked very psychedelic in this foggy day, and they felt like they were living beings, when Li Xuan walked past them, he felt uncomfortable, so he couldn't help but glance at the scarecrow.
This look startled Li Xuan, he suddenly felt that those scarecrows seemed to be beckoning to him, rubbed his eyes vigorously, and then looked closely, the scarecrow stood there, straight and motionless.
Looking at anything in the fog will feel very weird, maybe he is just a delusion, Li Xuan thought in his heart, but he still felt very scared, after all, something incredible had happened here, and he didn't dare to relax his vigilance.
So, he comforted himself in his heart, turned his head and walked forward quickly, after a few steps, Li Xuan felt that the weirdness in his heart was even stronger, because the surroundings were terrifyingly quiet, there was no sound, and in the silence, there seemed to be a faint sneer behind him.
Li Xuan stopped, the faint sneer disappeared immediately, the surroundings were still unusually quiet, Li Xuan stood for a while, and finally couldn't help but turn around, but as soon as he turned around, the whole person froze, and he saw an extremely terrifying picture.
He saw one of the very strange scarecrows, jumping off the bamboo pole that held it, and then walking towards him step by step. The scarecrow walked in a strange way, with his legs straight and seemingly unbending, and his arms stretched straight to the left and right.
The scarecrow seemed to have life, because he wore a straw hat and a black cloth, and in the fog, it looked like a person walking, which was very terrifying.
Li Xuan wanted to turn around and run, but his body seemed to be frozen, his heart was beating faster, and he wanted to shout, but he couldn't make a sound in his throat at all, even if Li Xuan was a big man, he had dealt with wild dogs who had been resurrected from the dead before, and his psychological quality should improve a lot.
Compared with the vicious dog, Li Xuan was more afraid of the scarecrow in front of him, after all, the vicious dog still had the appearance of a dog, and it was also a creature he was familiar with, but now in the face of such a strange scene, he was still afraid from his heart, after all, in his cognition, the scarecrow was an inanimate thing, and now he would actually walk around by himself, isn't that a fantasy?
~Brush~ Brush~ The sound sounded, this was the sound of straw rubbing in the mud, he watched the scarecrow walk towards him step by step, the distance was getting closer and closer, Li Xuan saw in the fog that the scarecrow seemed to have a weird smile on his face, the average scarecrow has no face, only a straw head. However, I don't know if it's because of the fog, this scarecrow is like having facial features, which is very weird and makes people feel very hideous and terrifying.
In such an abandoned field filled with fog and empty around, a scarecrow can actually walk on his own, and is walking towards himself, how terrifying this picture is, for normal people, it is a nightmare.
Li Xuan stood there motionless as if he was obsessed, if it was a nightmare, he hoped that he would wake up immediately, but no, this was what happened in reality, he looked at the strange scarecrow like a robot in a science fiction movie, mechanically raising his right arm little by little・・・・・
Li Xuan had already smelled the danger, he closed his eyes suddenly, took a deep breath, and thought, Xiao Ying hasn't been found yet, I can't just die here like this, suddenly, he opened his eyes suddenly, and sweat was already soaking his back.
Seeing that the scarecrow was about to come to him, he held the wooden stick with trembling hands and shouted hysterically: "Don't come! ”
However, when the scarecrow heard his shout, it seemed to pause for a moment, and then, let out a burst of eerie sneers, and the scarecrow, who originally seemed to be a little sluggish, rushed towards Li Xuan like an arrow from Lixuan.
Li Xuan heard the sneering laughter of the scarecrow from far and near, its movements, as if it was to prepare for sending Li Xuan to hell, Li Xuan waved the wooden stick in his hand, Li Xuan had repaired a vicious dog before, and it could be regarded as having some experience, despite this, the "scarecrow" had a similar appearance to a person, so fighting with it was more terrifying than with the "dog".
Although the opponent at this time is beyond the scope of his cognition, he is also broad, sometimes people face desperate situations at the same time, but also burst out of unprecedented courage, so he does not hide or dodge, what should come is always coming, he intends to deal with the scarecrow.
At this moment, when the scarecrow appeared in front of him instantly, Li Xuan swung a stick at the scarecrow without hesitation, hitting it easily, and some straw fell off the ground.
After the scarecrow was hit by Li Xuan, his footsteps began to slow down slightly, but it seemed that he only stopped for less than 2 seconds, and approached Li Xuan again, with the first attack, Li Xuan's fear of the scarecrow decreased a lot.
He thought to himself, although the scarecrow can move, but it is just something woven from straw, there is nothing to be afraid of, after thinking about it, Li Xuan's hands began to stop trembling, and he behaved like when facing a vicious dog.
Just as he was thinking, the scarecrow's hideous face appeared behind him, and between his unintentional thoughts, it touched his back, ~hiss~, the scarecrow didn't know what method to use, and actually cut his coat, but fortunately, his coat was relatively thick, and it didn't hurt Li Xuan.
Li Xuan immediately turned back, fought back, and struck another stick, just hitting the scarecrow's body, this time it seemed to work, the scarecrow was lying on his back on the ground, the posture was very uncomfortable, it shook on the ground a few times and then quieted down.
After defeating the scarecrow, Li Xuan didn't feel at ease, he felt very bad, his face was already distorted, he nervously wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, Li Xuan, who usually didn't believe in this kind of thing at all, now finally began to believe in the existence of this kind of thing.
He slowly walked in the direction of the scarecrow, he wanted to confirm with his own eyes again that these things he said could no longer be explained from a scientific point of view, when he got closer, he found that the scarecrow seemed to be very ordinary scarecrow, there was not much difference, and there was no terrifying facial features, how did he walk?
Li Xuan didn't dare to touch it with his hands, and gently pried open the black cloth draped over him with a wooden stick, wanting to see if there was any kind of mystery...
At this moment, the scarecrow let out another strange sneer, his face seemed to show a strange face again, Li Xuan was startled again, instinctively jumped to the side, clenched the wooden stick in his hand and looked at the scarecrow.
However, the scarecrow began to climb up in a very irregular posture, ~brush~brush~ The sound of straw rubbing against the soil sounded again, Li Xuan knew that what he saw now was supernatural things, how could it be so easy to knock himself down.
But what can he do, he touched the baton on his waist, and thought to himself, I don't know if this weapon is useful for the scarecrow...
At this time, the scarecrow had already run towards him again, Li Xuan didn't dare to think about it, and immediately pulled out the baton that Chen Jun gave him, this baton had saved him once, eliminated the vicious dog, and he also hoped that it would come in handy.
said that it was too late, the scarecrow had already rushed in front of him, and a cold air was forcing him, and Li Xuan's baton immediately pressed against the scarecrow's chest, and pressed the electric shock button, ~snap~snap~snap~snap electric current sounded.
However, the scarecrow didn't seem to be hurt in any way, and still entangled Li Xuan, sneering at him, Li Xuan was shocked, and saw the scarecrow mechanically raise his right arm little by little, and slapped the straw hand full of nails towards his head.
Just when Li Xuan was desperate, a miracle appeared, although the electric shock had no effect on the scarecrow, but he pinned his hopes on this weapon, so he kept pressing the electric shock button, but he didn't expect that not long after the electric shock touched the scarecrow's body, it actually ignited a flame.
The scarecrow is made of straw, which is naturally flammable, and the frequent electric shocks produce high temperatures that inadvertently ignite it, so a small flame began to spread on the scarecrow's body, becoming more and more vigorous, and within a while, the scarecrow actually burned.
The scarecrow seemed to have noticed the anomaly and made a strange sound, but let go of Li Xuan, and Li Xuan took the opportunity to kick it away.
After the scarecrow was burned, he ran wildly around the field, just like a person being burned, Li Xuan didn't dare to move, he could only watch quietly, the scarecrow ran faster and faster, and soon disappeared into the fog・・・・・
I didn't expect it to be solved in this way, and Li Xuan didn't know if the scarecrow had been eliminated, but at least one point, now that the problem that hindered him was solved, he looked at the baton in his hand, breathed a sigh of relief again, and put the baton back on his waist.
Continuing to walk towards the fog-shrouded front, Li Xuan's eyes had changed, becoming very determined, after these two strange experiences, he realized that there were some things in the world that could not be understood by common sense.
However, he is now caught in these incredible things, and his only hope is to find his daughter Xiaoying, under the premise that he must have enough courage, because he himself does not know what else awaits him in front of him, without this firm belief, he will not be able to continue.
Li Xuan walked in this empty field like this, and his lonely figure slowly disappeared into the mist・・・・・
