Chapter 41: The Purple Light Reappears
I couldn't help but sigh as I squinted my eyes and slowly adjusted my eyes that had been in the dark for a long time to the sudden light. Under the brilliant purple light, I saw the black smoke from before flipping, circling, and flying in the air like a school of fish in the ocean, fleeing into the distance......
I couldn't help but climb out of my sleeping bag and quietly look at the dreamy colors in front of me, feeling like I was in a dream. As the black smoke quickly disappeared, the purple light drowned us like a purple water.
I don't know how long it took, but the purple light dazzled and quickly retreated to the side. The surroundings slowly descended into darkness. It took a while for someone to turn on the flashlight.
I touched Lu Keqin beside me and whispered, "Sister Keqin." ”
"Hmm." Lu Keqin turned his face.
I saw that her eyes were full of tears, and I was startled: "Why are you crying?" ”
"It's beautiful." Lu Keqin wiped her tears and smiled embarrassedly.
"Your brother and I saw this light in that hole in the woods behind my house." I said as I stood up and helped her to her feet.
Lu Dachuan and the others also got up and picked up the things on the ground that were blown by the black smoke. Dorjee was released from his sleeping bag, and he was very happy.
Packing up his backpack, Lu Dachuan shook his flashlight to check the number of people. "Is everyone there?" He asked.
"Yes."
"Yes."
We replied.
"Pack up and go!"
"Where are you going?"
We focused our eyes on Lu Dachuan.
"Let's get out of this stone house first." Lu Dachuan looked into the distance, "Let's see if I can find a place to rest." ”
We all carried our bags on our shoulders.
"Everyone line up, don't mess around." Lu Dachuan said and led the way to the outside of the wall, "Zhang Xiaohu, Liu Peng, you two worry about the back." ”
Out of the gate, we turned left and walked straight along a street-like road sandwiched between two large slippery houses.
After walking for a while, I suddenly felt that there was something wrong with Daddy Boba who was walking in front of Lu Keqin, and if I looked closely, his shoulders seemed to have shrunk, and the wide shirt hung on his arms and swayed. I grabbed Lu Keqin and stood still. The fat man who was following me almost hit me.
"What's wrong?" He asked.
I suppressed my voice and said, "Look at Daddy Boba." ”
"What's wrong?" Hu Fatzi turned on the flashlight and shone it on the back of Boba's father.
Suddenly we clearly saw that Daddy Boba's neck had become a stick as thick as an arm, and his head with a hat seemed to be much smaller. Daddy Boba was still pulling his hat up as he walked. At the sight of his hand, we exclaimed at the same time.
The person in front quickly turned around and looked back. When they saw Daddy Boba, they all screamed.
Daddy Boba didn't know what was going on, shaking his skeletal head and opening his mouth with barely two rows of teeth left and saying, "What's wrong?" What's wrong? ”
We were stupefied when we saw Daddy Boba look like that. Even Dorjee shouted at its owner, "Wangwang". Lu Dachuan, Zhang Xiaohu and the others half-opened their mouths and didn't know what to do. Lin Xian'er turned her back and didn't dare to look at it again. Lu Keqin covered her face with her hands and threw herself into my arms. I looked at Daddy Boba scared and excited, and although I knew best of all what was going on, it was the first time I had actually seen it. It was Liu Longlegged and pointed to what Daddy Boba wanted to say, "Uh-huh" for a long time, but he didn't say it. In fact, he remembered that in the small hotel in Kuzhi County, the thing that scared him was the same as the Daddy Boba in front of him.
Papa Boba was dazzled by our frightened eyes and expressions, and looked down at himself with his arms in a daze, and he also noticed that something was wrong, his shirt became wide and large, and the belt of his pants was so loose that it was about to fall, and he quickly lifted his pants when he saw that there were two young girls, and he couldn't help but scream when he saw his hands.
As soon as Daddy Boba called, Lu Dachuan and the others reacted, and each checked his body. Of course, they also saw that out of all of them, only Daddy Boba had become like that, but they were still a little uneasy.
Everyone is together, facing the same thing, why is everyone else okay, but Daddy Boba has become like this? I thought about this question over and over again, but I really couldn't figure it out.
Lu Dachuan walked up to Daddy Boba, a little afraid to look at him directly, tilted his head slightly to the side and asked, "Daddy, do you feel uncomfortable?" ”
"No," Daddy Boba's chin looked like it was about to fall, "and his throat was a little dry." ”
Picking up Daddy Boba's hand, Lu Dachuan lifted his sleeves inch by inch, and saw that he had turned into hands and arms like chicken feet, and he couldn't see any fame.
Liu Changleg stuck out his tongue and licked his lips and said, "Boss, do you remember the one I told you in the small hotel that scared me unconscious...... What does Uncle Zawang look like? ”
"Hmm." Lu Dachuan raised his head, "What's wrong?" ”
"His face is the same as Daddy Boba's now."
"Huh!?" Lu Dachuan looked at me with a look of disbelief.
I nodded.
Before Lu Dachuan could say anything, a light suddenly burst out of the darkness, and the light flew above us with a whistling light, emitting a dazzling white light.
"Here they are." Lu Dachuan glanced up, "Let's go, let's find a safe place." ”
Lu Dachuan took the lead and continued to move forward. Looking at the somewhat erratic way of Daddy Boba's steps, I thought to myself about the zombies jumping and jumping in the Hong Kong films I had seen, and I always felt unnatural when I breathed.
Walking out of the stone village, there are three paths in front of us, two on the left and one on the right. We stopped, and took a look at the terrain, and at the end of the road on the right seemed to be the cliff we had descended on, and on the left there was a mountain pass that led straight to a canyon; The other made a sharp turn to the left, and on the other side of the bend was blocked by the mountain and could not be seen.
We turned left and walked to the bend, and saw a crack like a line of sky, wide and narrow, and only one person could pass sideways. I shone a flashlight into the crack, and I couldn't see my head.
Faced with a choice again, Lu Dachuan naturally turned around and asked for everyone's opinions. "Where do you think it's appropriate?" He asked.
"Of course, take the other side of the road." Hu Xiaoming looked down at his bulging belly, "Fat man, I have to squeeze through here to lose my skin." ”
Liu Fashan wanted to express his opinion, but before the words came out, Cai Zhengdong took the lead and said: "I'm afraid it's not good to take the big road, now the most important thing is to avoid the group of people behind, if you go there, they have to catch up in the open land before entering the mountain pass, we can't find a place to avoid, we can only be a live target." ”
Liu Fashan nodded, it seemed that what Cai Zhengdong said was exactly what he wanted to say.
Lu Dachuan looked at me
"I listen to you."
Lu Dachuan turned on the headlights and shone towards the mountain pass again in the direction of the main road. Under the bright lights, the road was empty on both sides of the road, and there was nothing to obstruct the view until the root of the mountain wall.
Seeing such a large open field in front of me, I looked back in the direction I was coming from, and faintly saw a flickering light: "They came so fast, we are too late." ”
Hu Fatzi also saw it, he was reluctant to have a bitter face, but he also knew in his heart that it was better to lose a layer of skin than to be a target. Tighten the belt of his trousers, "Get out!" He unloaded his backpack and squeezed sideways into the crack.
The others followed, and apart from Daddy Boba, we were like a bunch of crabs one by one. Along the way, Hu Xiaoming made "oops" and "push me" from time to time. Zhang Xiaohu, Liu Fashan and others are more looking up at the top of their heads, as if the road is on it.
The gap between the two mountain walls was narrow, but fortunately there were no rocks protruding from the walls, so we didn't have a particularly difficult walk.
I watched them with my eyes and strode mechanically, but what was in my mind was the connection between the Duliba Butterfly, the cave where Zawang slept, and the place where the dwarf ancestors lived, and judging by the changes in the bodies of my ancestors, Uncle Zawang, and Daddy Boba, there must be a common denominator between the three, but what is this common denominator? For a moment I couldn't figure it out.
Because of Hu Xiaoming, the speed of our progress was greatly reduced, and Lu Dachuan was especially worried that the guys chasing us would also choose to go this way, so he turned his head and looked out from time to time.
After walking about twenty meters inside, Lu Dachuan saw that the flickering lights outside the gap no longer flickered, and became a bright piece. "Not good! They're coming here. He exclaimed, "Hurry up, everybody!" ”
Hearing Lu Dachuan's words, we squeezed forward with all our might, and the backpacks we pulled rubbed against the mountain wall with a "whoosh" sound. After quickly spanning more than a dozen steps, Hu Xiaoming's breath was relieved, and his folded abdomen was really pressed against the rock wall, "I really can't do it anymore." He gasped like a suffocating man.
Cai Zhengdong, who was following him closely, couldn't help but speak, and pushed him desperately with his shoulders and head. We were all faster than Hu Xiaoming in the back, and at this time we were almost crowded together, so we pushed one by one and passed a powerful force to Cai Zhengdong.
Like a wooden plug that was pushed by huge air pressure to slide in the bottleneck, Hu Xiaoming's body quickly slid forward, and his mouth shouted "Eh! My belly, my belly ......"
"Boss, this is not the road."
Suddenly, a lame voice came from outside. Hu Xiaoming's babbling came suddenly. "Turn off the flashlight." Lu Dachuan said. We held our breath and didn't dare to move, praying in our hearts that we would not come in.
At this time, we are already some distance away from the mouth of the gap, and people outside should not be able to see anyone inside if they don't look carefully.
"Why is it so narrow, let's see if we can get in."
The lights at the entrance of the cave dimmed, "Boss, no. Then it lit up again.
"Will they go in?"
"Possibly." A bright light shone in.
Frightened, we quickly lowered our heads.
The lights lasted for a while, and then withdrew.
"It's quite deep, I can't see it clearly."
"Boss, put a flare." Another voice.
"It's too narrow. Do injectors still have fuel? ”
"I'm running out."
"Mine still has."
"Here you go."
When we heard the ejectors, we didn't dare to caten anymore, and squeezed in with all our strength, and suddenly the front was loosened, and everyone fell down one by one. At this moment, a raging flame rushed past the body of Lu Dachuan, who was walking last, burning his clothes on one side. In desperation, he rolled to the side, pressing the burning side under him. We quickly got up and helped him put out the fire.
After a rush to extinguish the flames on Lu Dachuan's body, we realized that there was a crack. It seems to be quite wide inside.
In the dark, we couldn't see whether Lu Dachuan was seriously injured, so we asked him. He couldn't tell.
Zhang Xiaohu and Liu Fashan crawled at the mouth of the gap to look at the movement outside, and saw that the lights were flashing and disappearing, and they knew that they were far away, so they breathed a sigh of relief and turned on the flashlight.
Due to the timely rescue, Lu Dachuan had a big bubble on his right hand and a fever in his head, but there was no major problem. Lin Xian'er took out the medicine and gauze, and after bandaging him briefly, Lu Keqin found a set of clothes for him to change.
Hu Xiaoming grinded a hole in the front of his coat, he unzipped it, took it off and threw it on the ground, and lifted the woolen sweater and autumn coat to let us see his belly.
I saw a large red patch on it, as if it had just been scraped, and stretched out a finger to poke it: "Brother Hu, there is no air leak!" ”
"Ouch, my mother!" Hu Xiaoming screamed, lowered his head and blew cool air on his stomach.
Lin Xian'er came over with a plastic bag containing medicine: "Lao Hu, rub some medicine for you." ”
"Can't move, can't move......" Hu Xiaoming protected his stomach with one hand, and pointed at me with the other and rolled his eyes.
His funny appearance made us laugh.
Lin Xian'er still wanted to insist on giving Hu Xiaoming some medicine, but he had already pouted his ass and carefully pulled off his clothes, so he had to give up.
The crowd stopped making noise, and I looked around and realized that we had walked into a very strange place.
