Chapter 242: The Disappeared Child
"Hey, what are you looking at?" There was a yellow-haired voice behind him.
I said, "Who is that old man?" ”
Huang Mao was stunned: "What old man?" Where is it? ”
This question is really like five thunderbolts, although the image of that old man is not obvious, but it is not invisible? Could it be that the yellow hair's eyes are not good? I suddenly felt a faint uneasiness in my heart.
"There!" I pointed to the old man in the distance and said, although it is rude to point at people like this, but at this moment my brain is starting to buzz, where can I manage so much.
Huang Mao and Yue Tian looked in the direction of my finger at the same time, their expressions became extremely surprised, after a while, they turned their heads, Huang Mao looked me up and down, subconsciously took half a step back, and asked, "Are you okay?" ”
Yuetian also looked at me with an extremely incredible gaze and asked, "Are you also sick?" ”
"You're sick!" I blurted out, but as soon as I said that, I realized that he was really sick.
I blinked vigorously, and then looked at the position of the old man, he was still sitting there quietly, because the distance was a little far, I couldn't see whether his hand kneading the ball was moving, but it didn't matter, the important thing was that the old man was really there, why couldn't the two of them see it? What the hell am I seeing?
But this is the underworld, so it's normal to see a ghost, right?
I pulled Huang Mao and Yuetian over and said, "Go, follow me." ”
It's not a good idea to say anything from such a distance, and it's very likely that these two guys are short-sighted, so things shouldn't be so scary.
At this moment, the old man was only a few hundred meters away from me, and there happened to be a big tree there, and I don't know what kind of tree it was, anyway, I had never seen it.
The shadow of the tree just shaded the old man tightly, so it was even less obvious.
Soon we were near, and we were only a few steps away from him. The old man was still dressed in the same dirty clothes as he had seen yesterday, his eyes still did not react to the outside world, he was always looking in one direction, and his right hand was still slowly rubbing two gray-black balls.
The big tree next to the old man doesn't know how old it is, it looks at least a few hundred years old, and the diameter is two or three meters, and it is estimated that two people can hug it together.
The whole stem of the tree is not high, it should not be more than five meters, there are no leaves on it, it is all dense with small branches, but this tree does not look like a dead tree, but a bit like a deciduous tree in winter.
At this moment, I walked in the front, and when I looked back, the two of them were still grinding several meters away from me, and when I got closer, I whispered: "Do you see it, it's him." ”
Yuetian and Huangmao's eyes kept wandering between the tree and me, and when I saw this look, I was even more surprised: "You, you really can't see?" ”
At this time, Huang Mao and Yuetian no longer looked at the tree, both of them stared at me straight, as if they were looking at a fool, after a long time, Huang Mao said: "I said senior brother, don't scare us, okay?" ”
I was so angry that I almost jumped up: "You guys are scaring me, aren't you?" ”
After arguing for a long time, I finally knew that they really couldn't see this old man, for this kind of result, I didn't want to believe it, I was in a good mood today, why did this thing suddenly come out again?
In order to verify whether this old man is real, whether I am really hallucinating, I slowly leaned forward, and after being less than two meters away from the old man, I asked, "Hello, old man?" ”
The old man turned his head slowly, and the speed was extremely stiff, like a zombie. Obviously, he could hear me, and I don't know whether to be happy or sad about the result.
The old man looked at me, but I could not see any glint in his eyes, in other words, like a dead man.
When I thought of the dead man, I suddenly chuckled in my heart, damn, did I really meet a ghost? But this is the underworld, are you still afraid of ghosts in the underworld?
Remembering that ghosts have no shadows, I subconsciously went to look for the shadow of the old man, but found that his entire body was overwhelmed by the shadow of the old tree, where could I still see it?
The old man was still looking at me, well, at least his face was facing mine, and there was no reaction anywhere else, and I was anxious to say hello to the old fellow again, but he ignored me.
Huang Mao and Yue Tian watched my strange behavior from the side, and seemed to believe it a little, Huang Mao's face became ugly, and he pulled me aside and said, "No matter what you see, get out of here first, stay away from this tree." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly heard the sound of several children playing next to him, and when he raised his eyes, four or five children of about ten years old ran out of the alley in the distance, all of them were very brightly dressed and looked quite clean, not at all like children living in the countryside.
Several children ran to the old tree, and one of them seemed to want to climb up, but because of the haste of running, one fell to the ground without paying attention, and the other children laughed when they saw this.
At this moment, another child was quick-eyed, and one jumped up like an ape, clasping the ancient bark.
When the others saw it, they had to hurry to follow, but Huang Mao next to him suddenly became like a spirit and shouted: "Don't go up." ”
This sound really worked, and the three children below didn't dare to move, looking straight at Huang Mao.
Yellow Fur raised his head and looked at the child in the tree, but when I followed his gaze, I found no trace of him.
Everyone present opened their mouths in shock, how could this be, why did a big living person suddenly disappear?
I tried to keep my eyes open and look for the child who had just climbed the tree, and after looking at it for a long time, I found that at the top of the tree pole, there was a humanoid imprint of one size, with various colors on it, exactly the same color as the child's clothes just now.
I gasped in fright, looked at Huang Mao and asked, "You people here have special functions?" ”
Before Huang Mao could speak, Yuetian next to him said coldly: "Was it eaten?" ”
This sentence scared me lightly, in broad daylight, and the weather was so hot, I actually shivered, and it seemed that my whole body began to feel a little chilly.
Huang Mao didn't say anything about Yuetian's statement, but just pulled the scared children aside and let them go home.
I asked Yuetiandao, "What do you mean?" ”
A trace of horror crossed Yue Tian's slightly pale face, and he bit his lip and said, "This is a tree demon." ”
With that, he pulled out the rusty iron sword from behind his back, pushed me back, and said, "You guys are back." (To be continued.) )
