Chapter 36: Sacrifice
For a while, in addition to the pungent and pungent smell of poisonous smoke, the air was also mixed with the smell of roasted meat after the snakes were burning, which was mixed together and made people feel sick. Xiao Jing finished lighting the fire, at a loss, and asked me, "Pick it up, what's next?" ”
I made up my mind, I didn't know what to do for a while, Zhong Gong had been hit by this poisonous smoke before, and it didn't take long for him to move freely, it didn't seem that the effect was long-lasting, the only way was to delay the time, and wait until we recovered, so that we could plan an escape. However, this idea was ultimately frustrated, because at this moment, the serpent outside the door, as if sensing the threat of fire, and as if hearing the hissing screams of its own descendants, heard a bang, and a huge serpent's head opened the closed wooden door and poked its head in from the outside.
Although this wooden house is one in and one out, but the pattern is very small, I and Tofu fell near the middle gate, the head of the snake came in, almost ten meters away from us, the huge triangular snake head, reflected the black scale light in the firelight, two yellow eyeballs stared straight at us. It was only then that I finally understood why I described this snake as disgusting, because there were a lot of black tumors on the top of its head, which were swollen and bulging, and when the snake's head swayed, the sarcoma on the head seemed to be filled with water, and it also shook, and it looked extremely disgusting.
As the snake's head poked in, the fishy smell became even stronger, and I almost fainted. The tofu was even more useless, lying on the ground, looking like he wanted to cry without tears, and said: "Brother Snake, my meat is not delicious, I haven't washed my feet for three days, you better eat this big guy next to me first." I rolled my eyes angrily and said, "Fuck you, you weighed yourself a few days ago, and you only gained ten pounds, why eat me first!" ”
Gu Wenmin said anxiously: "What time is it, you two are still talking about this, get out of the way, the snake is in." "In the blink of an eye, the big snake has begun to come in the direction of me and Tofu, it is too big, so it is not very fast to enter this small place, and it has only penetrated three or five meters. Even at this distance, we could already smell the pungent smell coming from its mouth, and the poisonous smoke it had sprayed before I thought it came.
The older the years, the more powerful the poisonous fog is, some make people unconscious, some are painful, some people are killed on the spot, think about the big snake with a black tumor on the head, it should not be the most powerful, but even so, it is not something we can deal with.
Knowing this, we should have prepared gas masks in the first place, but we were only blamed for our preconceived ideas, thinking that it was not a fight, and there were fewer people, so the weapons were simplified, and now it is too late to regret it.
Seeing that the big snake was getting closer and closer, and if it climbed into four or five meters, it could swallow me directly, and Xiao Jing on the side also sat on the ground in fright, breaking out in a cold sweat.
My heart was pounding, Rao is usually flexible in his brain, but in this situation of not being able to move, he can't think of any way at all. At this moment, Gu Wenmin suddenly spoke, her voice was very calm, and the calmness surprised me a little, she said: "Xiao Jing, you can still move now, only you can save us." ”
Xiao Jing's frightened legs trembled, and said, "How, how to save ......" She almost didn't dare to look at it.
Gu Wenmin said calmly: "You go and lure it away and buy us time, I promise you...... I will not appear before you again. My heart jumped suddenly, and I said, "Wen Min, you ......"
"Don't talk about it." Gu Wenmin interrupted me and said, "The overall situation is important, I don't want to watch you and Xiaodou die in front of me." ”
Xiao Jing was stimulated by these words, her courage recovered slightly, and then she gritted her teeth, her tone was angry, and with an indescribable taste, she gradually sneered, and said: "Good, good, good, at this time, you are still playing the trick of sacrifice......" Gu Wenmin was stunned for a moment, and defended: "No, I am ......"
Xiao Jing stood up violently and said, "Okay, Officer Gu, if you remember what you said, I will come back alive, definitely." When the time comes...... Get out of the way for me! You know, I feel sick to see you in the way you are now! After that, he glanced at me, suddenly snatched the gun from Gu Wenmin's waist, held the gun in both hands, and slammed it at the big snake with a trembling bang.
She didn't have the right head, fired a few shots, and only one shot, the snake scales were extremely hard, the gun fell into the snake flesh, and was blocked by the scales, which did not produce much lethality, but it was enough to attract the attention of the big snake, and the snake head suddenly turned and looked at Xiao Jing. At this moment, Xiao Jing threw the gun and ran towards the window on the side, about the potential exploded, her figure became flexible, and she opened the window and jumped out.
The big snake has lived for so many years, where has it suffered such a loss, and it was suddenly furious, ignoring us, its head shrank back, and chased after Xiao Jing who escaped out of the window.
This qiē happened in a moment, when the room was filled with the sound of burning snake flesh and the sound of a group of small snakes being forced into the corner by the fire spitting letters, and everyone was silent. After a while, it was still Tofu who took the lead in breaking the deadlock and said, "Xiao Jing really went out, did she run past the big snake?" I think it's hanging, eighty percent...... Eighty percent won't come back. ”
Immediately afterwards, he turned his head to Gu Wenmin and asked, "Gu Da Beauty, what you just said can't be true, right?" ”
Gu Wenmin ignored the tofu, but asked me: "I let her go on an adventure, do you blame me?" ”
Actually, I was also surprised that Gu Wenmin suddenly said something like that just now, but I knew very well in my heart that if Xiao Jing didn't take countermeasures, then everyone would only die, and after we were eaten, Xiao Jing would be next, and she wouldn't be able to live. And Gu Wenmin's later countermeasures were actually to use Xiao Jing's life to give us a chance to breathe.
I was silent for a moment and said, "I don't blame you, the outcome is the same." ”
Zhen Rui said even more directly and lukewarmly: "Sacrifice her, this deal is a good deal." Zhong Gong is Zhen Rui's loyal dog, and he also said coldly: "If you don't save us, she is a weak woman, and she will die in the end, and if she can save a few lives, she can be regarded as a well-deserved death." ”
Hearing this, Gu Wenmin nodded, turned to answer Tofu's question, and said calmly: "Xiaodou, this is my answer, anyway, I did use Xiao Jing this time, it is difficult for her to have another chance to survive, but if she can survive, then I owe her, so ...... What I just said, I'm not kidding. After speaking, Gu Wenmin's eyes dimmed, and he closed his eyes to rest.
The most important thing at this moment is to quickly restore the body.
I have mixed feelings right now.
Just as everyone analyzed, if Xiao Jing didn't take the initiative to lure the big snake away, then after we died, she would be a weak woman, and it would be difficult to escape the fate of death. But some things, the same result, have different meanings. The first kind of death was caused by her own weakness; But the second type of death is caused by our use.
Gu Wenmin's approach was not wrong, and even said that her wit just now saved the lives of all of us, but I know that she is feeling guilty now, very guilty, I looked at Gu Wenmin's pale look, not to mention how uncomfortable it was. Gu Wenmin's meaning just now was very clear, she took advantage of Xiao Jing, and she also knew that it was difficult for Xiao Jing to have a chance to survive. But if Xiao Jing really survived, then out of guilt and compensation, she would be as she said just now...... Leave me.
Gu Da Meinu is such a person, her sense of justice is a little bursting, and her principle is very strong, she did not deceive Xiao Jing with these words.
The feeling in my heart cannot be described in words at this moment, my throat is like choking, and I can't say a word.
I thought of Xiao Jing again, although I have no other feelings for her, but once I met, I owe her a little, and I am even more sacrificing her to survive at this time.
After a moment, I forced myself to compose myself and not let these complicated and gloomy emotions interfere with my judgment, and I looked out of the open door, and when I saw it, the lantern without oil was still shining yellow, only this time, it was floating outside the door.
Behind the lantern, there were dense black hairs like hair, just like a human head with no facial features floating in the air.
Not to mention how strange this scene is, I chuckled in my heart and thought: it seems that I was too optimistic just now, and there is a big snake and a lantern with a human head.
Tofu was also attracted by the lantern at this time, Zhen Rui and the others, due to the location of the fall, could not see the movement at the door, Zhen Ji saw the two of us staring directly at the door, and couldn't help asking, "What's outside the door?" ”
Tofu said in a hoarse voice: "The lantern with long hair is still floating there, I always feel that it ...... It will come in. ”
Tut!
This crow's mouth!
After he finished speaking, the lantern really floated in slowly.
Tofu's eyes widened, and he immediately closed his mouth, revealing a look of regret. A moment later, the lantern had drifted into the middle door where we were, and as it was so close, I suddenly discovered that there was a human face, nay, rather the skin of a human face, hidden in the hair behind the lantern.
The sallow and sallow human skin was attached to the lantern, covered with black hair, and appeared and disappeared in the yin wind, and the hollow facial features exuded a breath of death.
What exactly is it?
