Chapter 40: Grimace
In the middle of the night, I suddenly felt someone touching my feet, which didn't feel very real, but I remembered what Zha Ling'er said, and I still sat up from the hammock and looked around.
There was nothing in the dark woods, not even a breeze, it was still hot and humid. So what happened when someone touched my foot? There's no way someone will disappear the moment I open my eyes, unless that's until
No way, I don't want to believe the fat man's often ghostly theories. There are so many ghosts in the world, we just encountered a group of ghosts before, and it is impossible to encounter ghosts again, it must be wind, fallen leaves, or insects. By the way, it must be bugs. During the day, when your feet are soaked in water for a day, the smell is sure to attract a lot of bugs. So don't make a fuss and keep sleeping, now is not the time to waste time on such trivial things.
I continued to fall asleep, and my feet were not touched again, and I slept deeply until dawn.
After getting up early in the morning, Zha Linger said that she must wear shoes to sleep tonight, or she will always feel hairy on her feet and hairy in her heart.
I remembered that I seemed to have been touched last night, but I woke up from a dream, and I couldn't tell if it was really happening, or if I was hallucinating under the influence of Zha Ling'er. So, I didn't tell everyone about it.
The dense, humid and sultry, waterlogged island-like forests made us feel like we were back in the rainforests of the south. Zha Ling'er's little face was wrinkled into buns, and she asked me vigorously if there were any leeches in the stagnant water on the ground. When will I get out of here?
I reassured her that there were no leeches, after all, this is the northeast, and it is still in the cold season. There won't be too many mosquitoes. As for when it will be able to get out of here, it is unknown. The map in my hand doesn't show this large metasequoia island forest in detail, so I don't know how big this metasequoia forest is, so I can't estimate when I will be able to get out of here. However, judging from the dense level of trees, it is estimated that it will be difficult to pass through this metasequoia island forest today.
For some reason, the night came very quickly, and it didn't feel like it had been long. It was dark again. The flashlights kept walking through the woods until the moon hung high, and then stopped to rest.
Dark, sweltering nights are spent in the waterlogged woods. Everyone was fine, so they tied up the hammock early, lay down on it, counted the stars, and fell asleep.
Not long after I fell asleep, the feeling of déjà vu from last night came again. Someone touching my feet?
Who is it? Could it be that the fat man is joking. No, although my eyes are closed at this time, I can clearly hear the snoring of the fat man sleeping to death. So, who's kidding?
When he opened his eyes suddenly, it was pitch black all around, and when he stretched out his head to look in the direction of his feet, there was no half figure except for the tall metasequoia tree.
When I felt touched last night. It's not completely awake, it's a little blurry in a daze. But just now. There's absolutely nothing wrong with someone touching my feet, who is it, who is it? It's such a low-level joke.
Got up and sat on the hammock, put his foot in front of him, and touched it with his hand, nothing unusual. I took out a flashlight from my backpack and lit my feet to check, there was some black powder on the instep of my foot, I couldn't see what it was, I guess it was mud.
Suddenly, a black shadow flashed on my left, and I hurriedly swept the light of the flashlight, and in an instant, I seemed to see a dark grimace, and suddenly disappeared into the dark woods.
Seventh Master Cha, who was in charge of the vigil tonight, saw me with a flashlight and behaved abnormally, and immediately came to my side and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Seventh Master found out that I woke up early, but at first, he thought I was awakened by urine. But seeing that I couldn't get up from sitting in the hammock for a while, I felt that something was wrong, so he came up to me and asked me what was wrong?
My heart was now in a mess, and I was very unsure, so I told him the truth what I had just experienced. Seventh Master immediately held a flashlight and scanned the surroundings, in the pitch-black metasequoia forest, there was nothing except endless black, still black.
Zha Qiye turned on the flashlight, looked at it for a while, and asked me suspiciously: "You can't be dreaming, right?" ”
As a result, as soon as his voice fell, in front of me, suddenly a black shadow flashed again, and an extremely terrifying black grimace disappeared after only flashing in front of my eyes.
This time, Seventh Master Zha also saw the vague, but very cautious and terrifying black grimace, his face immediately changed, and he hurriedly woke up the sleeping people.
After everyone heard what happened, Zha Ling'er immediately shouted, "I know." You see, I'm not dreaming, someone did touch my foot. ”
"Don't you understand? It's not a human being who touches your feet, it's a ghost. ”
As soon as the fat man said this, he was so frightened that Zha Ling'er jumped in front of me and grabbed my arm tightly.
I glared at the fat man, and he gave me a look that he hadn't said wrong. Indeed, the fat man did not say the wrong thing. However, this matter is still unknown, and whoever said that the thing that touched our feet must be the black ghost that we just saw. Moreover, all I saw was an unusually horrible grimace, and a ghost without hands, without hands, touching our feet with something. Could it still use that grimace to rub against our feet?
How is it possible, that ghost is not a perverted masochist, how can he use his face to rub everyone's stinky feet!
What should we do next, everyone has no idea for a while, the ghost is erratic, the dark night is very difficult to find, and we can't just be helpless here, and when it reappears, I don't know what to wait for?
When the fat man saw that the discussion was fruitless, he lay down on the hammock with a relaxed face and said, "You all go to sleep, and I will lie here and keep vigil, and when the little ghost comes to touch my feet, the fat man will kick it to death." ”
Now it was the best and most appropriate way to keep a vigil, so she fastened her shoelaces, said goodnight to me, and went to sleep. I was afraid that the fat man who was sleepy would fall asleep during the vigil for a while, so he said that I would keep the vigil, but he insisted, so I had to lie down in my clothes, thinking that I should not sleep too deeply, and get up at the slightest movement. As a result, as soon as he lay down, he fell into a deep sleep, because his body was too tired.
When I slept in the middle of the night, I suddenly felt a flash of fire on my face, and I was so frightened that I hurriedly opened my eyes. (To be continued......)
