Chapter 177: The Old Man Herding Sheep
Looking at the blue sky and white clouds in front of me, as well as the breeze blowing around me, as well as the green in my eyes, my mood is almost the same as Zhu Gui's, and I have a feeling of rebirth.
In that weird underground world, there is always a lingering gloomy atmosphere that makes people's hearts panic. Coupled with the strange things that will appear at any time, there is no moment when the mood is not pinched.
It is estimated that if you stay in it any longer and are not killed by those spirits, you will die of depression.
Hu San and Zhu Gui had already packed up neatly and were ready to leave. Somehow I wanted to look at the well again, and the mouth of the well was nearby, so I turned around and glanced down.
At this sight, I gasped, and a white shadow was faintly reflected in the turquoise water. Soon, the outline of the entire shadow gradually became clear, but it did not surface, at least at a distance of about half a meter underwater.
It was a human face, white as paper, lips as red as blood, and the corners of the mouth slightly upturned, as if smiling.
Seeing this scene, my scalp was tingling, and it seemed as if a powerful force was dragging me into the well, so I immediately took two steps back in fright and took a deep breath.
"Qingming, what's wrong?" Hu San asked with concern.
I didn't speak, but looked into the well again, but the white face was gone.
Looking back, I was stunned for a long time, and the memory just now suddenly became blurry, could it be an illusion? I especially hate the feeling of not being able to tell whether it's reality or illusion, it's so unreal, but so terrifying.
I shook my head at Hu San and said, "It's okay, it's just a little dizzy." ”
At this time, there were several sheep cries in the distance, and when I looked up, a group of white-flowered sheep appeared in the barren grass, and an old man with a large grass next to him shouted and waved his whip.
Zhu Gui swallowed his saliva and said: "Sheep, look, it's a sheep!" ”
Hu San glanced at him: "What's wrong with the sheep, do you still want to roast and eat it?" ”
"That's okay, it's a big deal to give more money, you don't take the money, I have it." As he spoke, he literally flipped up his pocket.
I quickly dismissed his thoughts: "Come on, I said fatty, are you crazy from hunger?" ”
Zhu Gui took a few breaths and said: "This makes you speak, I'm really hungry and crazy, when I saw those sheep, I immediately imagined it as a lamb skewer." ”
"Okay," Hu San looked at the sheep herder in the distance, "Let's go over and ask, what kind of place is this, and where is there a village nearby." ”
After that, he walked towards the flock, Zhu Gui and I followed, Zhu Gui's mouth was not idle, and asked me: "How much do you say a sheep is worth?" ”
It seemed that this kid was almost nervous when he was hungry, so I patted him on the shoulder: "Wait until I find a village and town store, so that you can eat enough, how about roasting whole sheep?" ”
Zhu Gui swallowed his saliva and didn't speak.
Soon we came to the shepherd, an old man of at least fifty or sixty years of age, with a huge brim that covered half of his face, and all he could see was the dark and wrinkled skin, and the bloodless mouth.
He was dressed in an old-fashioned blue tunic that was shabby but looked clean.
Hu San stepped forward and asked, "Uncle, we are traveling, and we are lost here, may I ask, what is this place?" ”
The old man raised his head slightly, and could see most of his face clearly, but his eyes were always hidden in the shadows. He was stunned for a moment, and then said in a very distorted Mandarin: "Ah, the boundary of the village of Jaris Yaza. ”
"Yazar Village?" I was scared and shivered, and as soon as I recovered from my depressed mood, these three words were poured on my head like a basin of cold water, making me cold from head to foot.
The two of them were no better, and they both looked stunned.
Hu San was the first to calm down, coughed dryly twice, and said: "That, old man, in which direction is Yazha Village, are there any other villages nearby?" ”
Hu San obviously didn't want to get close to Yazha Village anymore, why didn't I think so in my heart, if I hadn't entered that terrible village, I wouldn't have experienced so many twists and turns, and even almost put my life inside.
The old man may have had some trouble listening to Mandarin, Hu San asked twice, and then he pointed to the distance and said: "There is a Yaqing Village in front, Yazha Village is next door to it, the two villages are more than a few miles away, and there is nothing else, unless you go over the mountain." ”
When he had finished speaking, he saw that the sheep had run away, and with a shout at the top of his throat, he chased after him with his whip.
Yaqing Village? It sounds like it's about the same as Yazar Village, so it won't be some kind of hell place, and I don't know the bottom of my heart again.
Zhu Gui and Hu San probably thought the same as me, and their faces were not very good-looking.
The mountains in the distance are at least dozens of miles away from us, and if we go over the mountains before there will be a village, it is estimated that if we have to go there, even if we are not tired to death, we will die in a hurry.
Hu San frowned, looked at the direction of Yaqing Village pointed by the old man and said, "Go to Yaqing Village, it's a word, be careful when you go to the place, and act when you have the opportunity." ”
"Well," Zhu Gui nodded beside him, changing his demeanor like a hungry ghost just now, and said, "I don't think it's a big problem this time, that old guy still looks relatively normal." ”
After the three of them discussed, they walked in the direction of Yaqing Village.
After this barren meadow, a country road appeared in front of me, and on both sides were rice fields that were knee-high.
Seeing this, I felt a lot more comfortable, and suddenly remembered that when I went to Yazha Village from Huyuan County before, I didn't pay attention to the window along the way, and when I arrived in front of the village, I found that there was not much green thing there at all, no wonder Yazha Village was so weird, damn, even the grass didn't grow.
It's much more normal now, there are so many rice fields, I don't believe it's all grown by zombies.
Although I still have a lot of nostalgia about what happened in Yazar Village, including the screams I heard in the experimental bureau, sometimes the sound would sound in my head like an auditory hallucination, but ......
Alas! After all, we are not superhuman, we don't have that much ability, if the goal is clear, it's okay to know where someone is trapped, so it's okay to go directly to the rescue, but that ghost place is simply perverted, and it's harder to find something than looking for a needle in a haystack.
As for Yaza Village, I guess there are basically no living people in the village, but I don't know what to do if I let it go, and I don't know what to do.
I don't know anything about that kind of enchantment or anything like that, so it seems that I have to consult Zhu Gui about this matter.
Besides, I haven't asked Hu San's experience clearly, I remember that when I met him in the Experimental Bureau, he knew a lot of things between words, well, ask him maybe you will get more information.
