Chapter 66: Overnight
All kinds of doubts are blocked in people's hearts, but they can't be asked, let alone be aggrieved.
I can't see it at this moment, and my whole body is either in pain here or there, so I can only rely on Tang Linlin's help.
Although it was daytime, it was dark in front of me at this moment, and in the silence, I could only hear the footsteps of everyone, from time to time, Zhou Xuanye and Tan Jian would discuss the route, they were worried that the people of Yumen would not give up, in order to prevent the other party from sending someone to catch up, they discussed bypassing this mountain and leaving quickly.
At this moment, we must not be able to return the same way, but around this mountain, the opposite side is still a mountain, according to the map we have seen before, the mountain over there should be the fairy fish library in the south. This place in Jiangxi is the birthplace of Taoism, the culture of immortals, and the rich heritage, which can be reflected from these place names.
Fairy Fish Library? This name is quite strange, Zhou Xuanye and Tan Jian calculated that the Xianyu Library is the closest place to us except for the Flying Sword Pond, and we are safe when we arrive at the Xianyu Library. From where we are now, to get to the fairy fish storehouse, at least two days and one night, that is to say, non-stop, we will have to arrive tomorrow afternoon at the earliest.
In this process, there are too many changes that can happen, and what I am most afraid of is that the people of Yumen will catch up.
The trek was a very difficult process, and by the evening I had a fever. There is no way, the sanitary conditions in this place are too poor, and there are already many external injuries on my body, so tossed, eighty percent of the wounds are inflamed.
At night, everyone found a place to camp, Zhou Xuanye treated my wounds, thought for a moment and said that the situation was not optimistic, and decided not to rest tonight, and hurried overnight, so that we could arrive at the fairy fish warehouse around noon tomorrow.
Tang Linlin is also a very hard-working person, she didn't say a word when she heard the words, she hurriedly ate something, and everyone started again. For me, nothing has changed around me, it's dark anyway, and I've adapted to it. But Zhou Xuanye and the others had to use their eyes to find their way, so the speed was much slower than during the day.
My fever was too serious to move, so Tan Jian and Zhou Xuanye took turns to carry it for a while, I felt that I couldn't help it, and occasionally let Tang Linlin help me go, needless to say how embarrassed the four of them were. My mind was chaotic during the whole process, and I didn't feel anything other than tiredness and sleepiness.
I don't know how long it took, I felt Zhou Xuanye who was carrying me stop, he put me down, leaned against a tree, and then heard Zhou Xuanye say: "Strange, how can there be light there?" ”
Tang Linlin said: "There seems to be a wooden house, there are still people in this place?" ”
Tan Jian said: "Is it a forest ranger?" ”
Tang Linlin said: "I don't know, let's go and see, maybe there's medicine in it?" She spoke with a feeling of shortness of breath, obviously too tired.
I sobered up a little and said, "Go and see, I don't care, if there are people, everyone can rest for half the night." ”
"Every day you wake up? Didn't feel a little better. Tang Linlin asked.
In fact, I had a terrible headache, and my consciousness was all over again, which seemed to be worse than before, but I didn't want everyone to worry at this time, so I said, "It's much better." ”
Tang Linlin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's great, let's go over there and have a look, I'm so thirsty." Zhou Xuanye and the others were probably tired, and they didn't refuse, Tang Linlin helped me and began to walk towards the wooden house they said.
Suddenly, the wooden house seemed to have arrived, and I heard Zhou Xuanye call the door: "Is there anyone?" ”
A moment later, there was a creak of the door opening, followed by an old man's voice: "...... are you?" ”
Tang Linlin muttered in a low voice: "How is it an old man." ”
Zhou Xuanye obviously felt strange, he said: "This uncle, we are traveling into the mountains, but when we encounter wild beasts, we lose everything, can you stay with us for one night." ”
"Oh, of course, come in, come in." I can't see it, but I can hear the voice, this old man is very good at talking.
After entering the house, Tang Linlin helped me sit down on a chair, only to hear the old man say: "You all have injuries on your body, this young man is really seriously injured, has he taken medicine?" ”
Zhou Xuanye said: "The medicines are all lost, and there is only a little left, and I barely dealt with some of them." ”
The old man said that he had medicine here, all of which were herbs he picked, and he was active in the mountains all the year round, and it was inevitable that he would scratch and stumble and get some injuries. The old man was very enthusiastic, and as he spoke, he went to get dried herbs, said to help me treat my wounds, and by the way, he made a fire outside the wooden house and boiled water.
Tang Linlin probably felt that she couldn't go, so she said, "Grandpa, I'll help you." ”
Tan Jian said coldly: "How did you become diligent today." ”
Tang Linlin said: "This old man lives alone in this deep mountain and old forest, which is a bit abnormal, I am worried that he will make trouble, I will go and take a look." After speaking, I heard the sound of footsteps going out. For a while, only me, Zhou Xuanye and Tan Jian were left in the room.
The two men didn't speak, I didn't know what they were doing, I reached out and groped around for a while, and found a table, the surface was pitted, and there were a few small cracks in the middle, which seemed to be made of wood chips, and according to this table and chair, I could imagine that the wooden house where I was now should belong to that kind of relatively simple house.
After touching for a long time, I found that the surroundings were very quiet, Tan Jian and Zhou Xuanye didn't make any movement, I felt a little strange, so I shouted: "Boss? What are you doing? ”
Zhou Xuanye said: "Something? ”
I said, "It's okay, you didn't move, I thought I was out." ”
Tan Jian said: "Blind people are trouble. ”
Zhou Xuanye was quite helpless, and said: "Senior brother, Tiangu is already like this, don't fall into the well again." Immediately afterwards, Zhou Xuanye said: "This room is a little strange, do you smell it, it's the smell of wood." When he reminded me, I found that there was indeed a layer of wood floating in the room.
In fact, this is originally a wooden house, and the furniture inside is also wooden, and it is normal to have the fragrance of wood, but this smell will actually slowly disappear over time. And in the room we are in at the moment, the fragrance is quite strong, as if this wooden house has just been built.
The old man was too enthusiastic just now, and we didn't have time to ask him more about his situation after coming in, so he ran out to get medicine, and I don't know why an old man would live in this deep mountain and old forest, and this wooden house is likely to be newly built not long ago.
While speaking, the medicine was ready, and the old man commanded Tang Linlin to ask her to help me deal with the wound, and also sent a bowl of black medicinal juice. Actually, I don't want to drink this thing, even if I don't have the heart and lungs, I won't inexplicably drink the medicine given by someone I just met, right?
I said that it was a little hot, and I was drinking it for a while, so Zhou Xuanye immediately talked to the old man, he has a gentle temper, and it is easy to win the favor of people, and after a while, he chatted with the old man.
The old man himself said that he was a ranger who had just moved in, because there have always been people poaching in the past few years, Tang Linlin said with a smile: "Old man, you are all this age, the poachers are here, do you take care of it?" ”
The old man said bluntly: "I can't do it, but when I patrol the mountains, I have forest ranger uniforms and red armbands, representing the country. ”
Tang Linlin said: "What if you meet someone who is not afraid?" ”
The old man said: "I haven't encountered it yet, but if I do, I will treat it as if I haven't seen it, and the old man will try to eat a mouthful of food." ”
Tang Linlin said: "Don't you have children? ”
The old man said, "Yes, they are all dead." His voice was low and he didn't speak again.
The conversation fell silent for a while, Tang Linlin apologized, and said, "I'm sorry, old man, I didn't mean to ask about this." ”
"It's okay, it's all fate, oh, I'm alone here, the bed is not enough, you guys make do with it, squeeze it there." After speaking, the old man didn't seem to be in the mood to talk any further, Zhou Xuanye and the others thanked me, helped me walk more than ten steps, and let me sit on the ground.
The ground was a little soft, like hay was laid, and there was a layer of rough sheets, and then Zhou Xuanye and they also slept next to it, and it seemed that they should have made a temporary place for us to sleep near the wall.
The cold wind was blocked here, and it was soft and warm to sleep on, which was in stark contrast to our recent days, and it was so comfortable that people wanted to hum, so it didn't take long for everyone to fall asleep.
In a daze, I suddenly felt a little out of breath, as if something was pressing on my body, this feeling was a bit like a ghost pressing the bed, I immediately struggled, but the more I struggled, the heavier the pressure, and finally I was completely awake, but when I opened my eyes, it was still dark in front of me, and the invisible pressure was getting bigger and bigger, as if I was buried in the soil.
What's going on?
My whole body seemed to be immobilized, and I couldn't move at all, so I could only gasp for air.
Who can save me!
At this moment, I seemed to be isolated, no one around me seemed to notice my abnormality, and I could even feel that Zhou Xuanye was lying next to me, arm to arm, sleeping very dead. Am I going to be suffocated to death like this? When Zhou Xuanye comes together tomorrow morning, he will find a stiff corpse lying next to him?
This is definitely not a good thing.
Just when I felt that I was about to suffocate to death, I suddenly felt itchy all over my body, the itch was like a lot of small insects crawling out of the flesh, itchy people scratched their hearts and liver, and at this moment, I heard a strange cry in my ears, and before I could react to what the sound was, the pressure around me was suddenly loosened, and the air poured in with the breath.
At the same time, I felt Zhou Xuanye beside me suddenly turn over and shout, "Run!" The next moment, my whole person was carried by him on his shoulder, and the world was spinning.
I'm almost going to scold my mother.
What the is going on!
The itchy feeling on my body also disappeared in an instant, and I felt like a sack now, being carried by Zhou Xuanye, and I didn't know where I was running. In addition, there were also the scolding voices of Tang Linlin and Tan Jian, who also ran away.
And until now, I don't know what was posted.
But to be sure, it definitely has something to do with the strange situation just now.
