Chapter 84: The Lost Forest (Part 2)
Wang Shaoyi took Mr. Liao to a fork in the road and stopped.
That place looks very strange, in the middle is a very big tree, so big that it is scary, there may be a full ten people to hug, around him is a bunch of forks, extending in all directions, each fork in the path can only be seen four or five meters, and then there is a bend, looking at it is also eight points similar, ordinary people are really not clear by their eyes alone.
This place, Wang Shaoyi had already said when he was in the cave, was called the "Lost Forest" by the locals. Because the scenery of each trail is very similar, and the big trees next to each other are impassable at all, there are often animals lost in it, and even the locals have examples of getting lost in it for a day and a night.
This place was originally intended to be cleared up because of its danger, but it was later written down to protect the natural and cultural heritage, so it has been preserved until now.
However, for Wang Shaoyi, who has been playing in the forest since he was a child, he can come and go freely like home. He said a few words to Mr. Liao, and the two of them split into two roads and walked towards different forks in the road.
……
Genji and his brother walked cautiously, walking, and around a corner, he suddenly saw a huge tree appear in front of him, blocking all his vision, and it looked like it must be at least a hundred years old.
After four or five meters, they walked to the big tree, and when they raised their eyes, they saw the paths scattered around them like beehives, which looked like they were printed out of a mold, and if they hadn't stood at the exit road, I am afraid that they would have been unable to distinguish the way they came.
Genji looked at the tree, looked around again and found nothing, just the moment he lowered his head. He suddenly whispered, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he took a step towards the big tree.
Xuanba and Xuansan followed behind Xuanji, looking at the labyrinth-like scene and wanted to remind Xuanji to be careful, but suddenly found that he walked out with a smile, and the two of them looked at each other. I followed the steps.
As soon as they moved, the middle-aged people behind them also followed.
After not taking a few steps, Xuanji's footsteps suddenly stopped, and the smile on his face disappeared at once, replaced by a puzzled face.
"Second brother, what's wrong?" Xuan San saw Xuan Er stop, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked.
Xuanji didn't speak.
Xuan San saw that Xuan Er didn't react, and was wondering, seeing that Xuan Er kept his head down. So he also went to the ground, and after looking at it for a while, he looked back again, and then he showed a look of sudden realization.
There were some footsteps scattered on the ground, and the ones behind were gathered together, but when it came to the place where Genji was standing, it suddenly split in two, in the direction of two different forks.
Xuan San saw through this layer, and suddenly asked puzzledly: "Second brother, why did those two boys go separately?" ”
Kenji didn't answer directly. Instead, he walked to both sides again, and after watching back and forth, he came back and beckoned everyone to come forward and said, "Look at those two rows of footprints." The row on the left is small and shallow, the row on the right is large and deep, and there are other footprints at a distance of about a meter, it seems that the boy who is rising has gone to the left, and the fat man has taken the soul dumpling to the right. ”
"What?!" Xuanba was a little unconvinced after hearing this, "Shouldn't that soul dumpling be with that kid?" Could it be that we guessed wrong? That big fat man is the soul nourishing dumpling? ”
"It's possible." Xuan Er said thoughtfully, "It's just that this time it's hard for us to deal with them when they are separated." ”
"What is the second brother afraid of, it's just a half-percent soul dumpling, and we can deal with any brother we want." Xuanba suddenly patted his chest and said.
"It's better to be safe." Genji grabbed his beard and said, "That's it." I'll take the sixth and seventh to chase the fat man and the soul dumpling, and the third and the fourth and fifth to chase the rising boy, the eighth one, you are waiting for us to come back, remember not to go away. ”
"Okay." The others should say in harmony.
They said yes, and they each brought their own people, as well as Zongzi, and chased them along the path, leaving Xuanba alone to guard the big tree.
After the others left, Xuanba called the zongzi to his side, closed his eyes and sat cross-legged on the big tree and began to wait.
After a while, he suddenly opened his eyes, stood up from the ground, and after standing up, he looked around vigilantly, saw that there was no movement, and suddenly walked to the side of a tree at a fork in the road, and with a few movements of his hand, he pulled down his pants, and after a while, there was a sound of "shhhhhhhh
He was shushing, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, and he always felt that someone was watching him behind him, so he quickly exerted his strength and sped up to solve it. After booing, he didn't care about shaking a few times before turning around, and his face suddenly became ugly.
Where he was sitting, there was a man sitting looking at him with a playful look, and his rice dumpling was firmly held by something else.
"You... You..."Xuanba, "you" didn't spit out any other words for a long time.
Naturally, it was Wang Shaoyi who was sitting, he looked at it for a while, stood up and said jokingly: "You are that Xuanba, let me tell you, your zongzi is in my hand, hurry up and raise your hand, come over and tie your hands, otherwise my baby accidentally tears your baby to pieces, and everyone will not be fun." ”
"You... You..."Xuan Ba heard the words and "you" for a long time and still couldn't say anything else, and then reluctantly raised his hands and slowly walked towards Wang Shaoyi and them.
"Is this good..."Wang Shaoyi said with a smile on his lips, but he secretly scolded the fool in his heart, these zongzi raisers take zongzi so seriously, it is simply the weakness that they can best use.
As soon as Xuanba walked over and came closer, Wang Shaoyi suddenly jumped suddenly, and before Xuanba could react, a hand knife struck at his neck quickly.
Before Xuanba could react, he fainted directly with a muffled snort.
After knocking Xuan Ba unconscious, Wang Shaoyi began to search back and forth on the body of the zongzi several times, and finally when he found his ears, he suddenly couldn't help but smile, and then found a branch from the ground, and picked out the palm-sized bell.
After doing all this, he and Mr. Liao pulled Xuanba and Zongzi to the side of the road, walked more than ten meters along the path, and suddenly made a fuss in the grass on the side, and a tree hole appeared, the two looked at each other and smiled and took off Xuanba's shoes first, and then threw him and Zongzi into the tree hole.
When they were done, they broke off some bush branches along the way they came, and swept them back and forth on the ground. Then Wang Shaoyi put on Xuanba's shoes, and the soul dumplings carried Mr. Liao on his back, and walked back along the road. (To be continued......)
