Chapter 9: Vanished
Chapter 9 disappeared Thinking of this, I quickly reached out and pinched my thigh, and the feeling of pain came, "So, isn't it a dream?" ”
Just when I doubted whether all this was a dream or a real gap, the two of them woke up from the cold because of the sound of the rainstorm, Xiu'er opened her eyes and saw me standing in front of her motionless and talking to herself, and hurriedly ran over anxiously, "Mosquito, are you okay?" ”
"Oh!" As soon as she shook my body like this, she immediately pulled me back to reality, "It's okay, it's okay, let's move forward, the rain is getting heavier and heavier." ”
Kuroko also agreed, and the three of them hurriedly put on their hiking bags and ran in a tandem formation in the middle of the potholes and extremely slippery road, on the one hand, to avoid accidentally slipping to the bottom of the valley, and on the other hand, they were always paying attention to whether there were big rocks falling on this side of the mountain.
The rain was so heavy that I didn't have a chance to ask them if they had the same experience as me, so I ran forward on my own, trying to find a place to hide from the rain.
Who would have thought, running and running, Xiu'er suddenly stopped, I saw this, immediately a sudden brake, she didn't wait for me to speak and preemptively said, "The rain seems to have stopped!" ”
"Huh? Xiu'er, what do you say? I could hear the sound of water dropping on my backpack. ”
"No, the rain has really stopped, and the water that is dripping now is the rain that has accumulated on these big trees on both sides. You see, after the rain, the sky is clear, and there are rainbows in that sky. It's really beautiful! Xiu'er said and looked over blankly.
But now that the rain has stopped, you don't have to take the risk of continuing to run, even if the mountains are cloudy and changeable, but thinking about it, two consecutive rainstorms are unlikely, at least you can relax in a short time.
So while Xiu'er was enjoying the rainbow, I told Kuroko what I had just experienced to Kuroko, only to see him listen quietly, and then said in a deep voice, "Mosquito, are you sure you are not dreaming?" Why can't I remember anything? But just now I was wondering why my arm felt tired and sore. ”
"yes, that's what you hit me with that arm!" As I listened to him, I was even more sure I wasn't dreaming.
"Xiu'er, do you have any impression of what the mosquito said?" Kuroko shouted.
Xiu'er shook her head again and again, "I can't even remember when I fell asleep." ”
Sure enough, why am I the only one who has experienced that series of things soberly, could it be that someone is deliberately manipulating me? It's unlikely, in this deep mountain and old forest, who can have such a ability to cause such a strange and incomprehensible natural phenomenon to deceive people?
Kuroko slowly walked to Xiu'er's side, looked at the clouds and mist that gradually formed above the mountains in the distance, and quickly condensed like ocean waves, and asked, "Mosquito, is this the white fog you saw before?" ”
"Huh!" I really can't answer this question, how to tell the white fog "It's about the same, but at that time it was dozens of times thicker, to what extent?" With the distance between the two of us now, I can't see where you're standing. ”
"Well, it's funny, all I can think of now is that the white mist has the effect of hallucinating people, and I don't know why you have the most effect. But knowing this, everyone should pay attention to the next road and don't get hit again. Kuroko said as he walked slowly forward.
I greeted Xiu'er and looked at her back, and suddenly felt that there was something unreal. "Xiu'er, it's time to hit the road, and you have to get to the top of the mountain before dark."
"Okay." She replied in a crisp voice, cheerfully following. Along the way, she seems to have been in a good mood all the time, and she has been in a happy state all the time.
Thinking of this, I kept up with Kuroko's footsteps while quietly turning my head to look at Xiu'er, although she used to be so silly when she was in her hometown, but since she followed us around the country, she rarely saw her so relaxed in action, always full of smiles.
Could it be that the person next to me is not really Xiu'er? Or is it that even she has changed dramatically without my knowledge?
As we continued to walk, the canopy of trees above gradually joined together, blocking the sunlight, so that it was obviously afternoon, and the environment around us was already dark, so we had to turn on the miner's lamp and rely on the light. The cold grew, and the clothes that had just been soaked by the rain blew through the cold wind, as if they had penetrated the skin and rubbed directly against the bones. The three of us shivered helplessly.
"It's not okay to go on like this, before I can wait for the alchemy platform, I will all freeze to death. Stop and change your clothes! I proposed. Fortunately, everyone did not wear cotton clothes on their bodies when they went up the mountain, which could be used for heating at this time. It's a pity that in this environment, it's easy for me and Kuroko to change clothes, but it's difficult for Xiu'er. As a result, Kuroko could only walk forward far away, and I blocked her, so she hurriedly threw away her wet clothes and put on cotton clothes.
After such a toss, I can barely adapt to the temperature at this altitude. After Xiu'er changed her clothes, we hurried to catch up with the sunspot.
The strange thing is that after walking for a while, the miner's lamp in his hand shines straight ahead, but his figure is nowhere to be seen. A bad feeling suddenly arose in my heart, and I glanced at Xiu'er, and quickly shouted, "Kuroko, Kuroko!" ”
No one answered.
I screamed badly and hurriedly ran, more convinced that the strange thing I had encountered before was real, and that if Kuroko was alone and accidentally hit the trick and fell into the valley, it would be over.
Xiu'er ran beside me and said strangely, "With Kuroko's skills, if you encounter danger, no matter how bad it is, at least you can make a sound." How can you not hear at all? ”
Now is not the time to think about this, I must find him quickly, but just as I was running, suddenly two hands seemed to stretch out from the mountain and dragged us over, and for a moment, I only felt the world spinning, and I wanted to shout in my throat but couldn't make a sound, until my body was completely submerged in the mountain, and the drag trend quickly weakened and stopped.
I clenched the miner's lamp in my hand and turned around to hit the thing that grabbed us behind me who didn't know if it was a human or a ghost, when the voice of the sunspot came out, "It's me, don't move, don't talk!" ”
Looking at this movement, he didn't have an accident at all, so why didn't he say a word just now! However, since his tone was so serious, it was obvious that something big had happened, and Xiu'er and I hurriedly turned off the miner's lamp, hid in this cave-like place, and watched outside motionlessly.
There was silence, all the sounds were silent, only the occasional whistling wind, the watch hands on the wrist were moving, and suddenly the sunspot's mouth moved, and an extremely small voice came to my ears, "Coming!" ”
Here it comes? Damn, can't you make it clear? What's coming?
