We were testing the depth of the meadow, and suddenly we were called like this, and we couldn't help but raise our heads and look in the direction of Ouyang Xuan's finger. But at the end of the meadow, there was a figure, and because of the distance, I couldn't tell whether it was a man or a woman, but I could see that he was walking around, and seemed to be trying to come to us.

Tofu was surprised: "There are other people in this place besides us, I don't know what they are for?" ”

I stretched out my hand and said to Tofu, "Give me the telescope." Tofu was disobedient, took out the binoculars and didn't hand them to me, but looked at them himself, and said while looking: "The one wearing black clothes, long hair, and facing away from us should be a girl." ”

Ouyang Xuan's big eyes blinked, his face was puzzled, and he said, "Wearing black clothes?" Draped in long hair? "It's a strange outfit in the desert, because it's hot during the day, so even if you have long hair, you have to tie it up, otherwise it's hot. In addition, anyone with a little common sense knows that black absorbs light and collects heat, and wearing black clothes in summer will make you feel even hotter. The person described by Tofu seems to be a woman, but this dress is too weird in the desert.

I squinted and could only see a black figure resembling a human figure in the distance, and when I was about to snatch the telescope from Tofu's hand, he suddenly sighed and said, "Hey, let's go." Sure enough, the vague outline in his line of sight turned out to be farther and farther away, and finally disappeared into the forest at the end of the meadow, and disappeared without a trace.

Zhang Wen hissed and said, "Is this woman a person? The boss looks weird, let's catch up and find out. ”

The know-it-all said: "The ecological conditions of this oasis are relatively mature, and it is not excluded that some expeditions will come here to rest, and it is none of their business, I don't think there is any need to go over." ”

Ouyang Xuan said: "Even if it's an expedition team, you have to be a little professional, who would dress up like that and come to the desert." Hey, the surname Dou, do you see clearly? Tofu immediately nodded and said, "See clearly, Xuanxuan, you have to trust my judgment." While speaking, he squeezed between Zhen Rui and Ouyang Xuan, moved his steps, and squeezed Zhen Rui out, I felt that my face was going to be lost by him, and I was about to twist him over, but Zhen Rui suddenly became difficult, his shoulder was slightly stunted, and he suddenly pushed the tofu and staggered a step, and a dog ate and fell into the meadow.

Ouyang Xuan laughed and applauded, I frowned, pulled the tofu up, and saw that he was covered with water, his hair was stained with grass, and his expression was hurt, and I felt a little unhappy. Seeing that the tofu began to avoid Ouyang Xuan's ridicule a little, he understood Zhen Rui's intentions. Sometimes, if a man makes a fool of himself in front of the woman he likes, or is ridiculed by the woman he likes, it is difficult for him to muster up the courage to appear in front of the other person.

Zhen Rui's trick is a little damaged, but the effect is immediate, to usually, the tofu has already made a big splash, and at this time he just shrugs his head and shrinks his neck. I coughed dryly, changed the subject, and said, "Miss Ouyang is right, that woman is weird when she appears here, and her dress is suspicious, so I might as well find out." We are afraid that we will have to stay here for several days in search of ancient ruins, and it is probably not a good thing to have such a 'neighbor' who does not know where to come from.

When I had finished speaking, the rest of the people did not object, and we stepped on the meadow and headed towards the trees at the end of the meadow. The meadows here are rich in aquatic plants and soft sand, and if you step on it, the muddy water will go straight to your knees, and in deeper places, you will reach the thighs, and if you are not careful, you may sink in. Therefore, as they walked, they had to use iron drills to explore the way, line up in columns, and take every step carefully.

Everyone was walking, and Ouyang Xuan in front of him suddenly burst out with a frightened scream, and everyone in shock looked up together, thinking that something had changed. Then I saw that her face was pale, and her big eyes were full of water, and she said, "Worms, there are a lot of worms in the water." ”

After listening to this, I didn't know what to say for a while.

How normal is it to have bugs? In this environment, it is a paradise for mosquitoes, grass ticks, and locusts, so it's no wonder. I'm used to drilling in the mountains, disgusting to disgusting, but the old men are not afraid, but from time to time there are insects crawling up along the legs, the taste is really disgusting, Ouyang Xuan is the fifth lady of the Guo family, it is estimated that she wants to increase her relationship with Zhen Rui, and she happens to understand the minority language, so she came over, she used to live in the imperial capital, and she spent money and jade, where did she experience this, so it is reasonable to have this reaction at this time.

Zhen Rui turned his head to look, frowned slightly, and said, "Bear with me, just go out." ”

Ouyang Xuan was frightened and didn't dare to move, she almost cried, she looked very pitiful, and her voice trembled: "Woo, I'm afraid to my chest, hurry, get it down." "She hardly dared to touch it herself." Since she was leaning sideways at this moment, I could see that it was a thick black locust that had crawled to the position of her chest, and the half-exposed snow-white breasts were stained with muddy water and grass residues, and a long grasshopper crawled on it, squirming slightly, as if picking where to take her mouth.

I'm still quite selfish, although I'm right next to her, but I remembered what she just clapped and laughed at, so I didn't do it, but the kid Tofu didn't fight, stretched out his hand and said nervously: "I'll help you get it." “

I suddenly had a feeling of hating iron and steel, and I got the locust down, Ouyang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, smiled gratefully at the tofu, and was a lot kinder, I felt a little bad in my heart, and things didn't seem to go in the direction I envisioned.

I glanced at Zhen Rui, and Zhen Rui raised his eyebrows, noncommittal. I was very depressed, and continued to walk forward with a cold face, the tofu won a smile from the beauty, and I was full of blood and energy. Everyone didn't say anything all the way, one foot deep and one shallow, and it took a lot of effort to finally get out of the meadow. This is the source of the river, and we thought that if we found the source of the river, we would find something, but we still didn't find anything when we dug it down.

At this time, we have reached the position where the figure appeared before, at this moment, we are in front of a large low poplar forest, because of the perennial baptism of desert wind and sand, so the shape of the poplar tree is mostly curved, and none of them are straight up. Their canopies are relatively large, crowded next to each other, densely packed, covering the sky and the sun, the branches twist at various random angles, standing at the entrance of the poplar forest, only to feel that there is no sunlight inside, the branches open their teeth and claws, giving people an eerie feeling. ‘

This is, we found a clear footprint on the ground covered with shallow sand, this footprint is relatively large, not like a woman's footprint, but like a man's footprint, and the most peculiar thing is that these feet are not shoeed.

What's going on?

Ouyang Xuan said: "Is it a man or a woman? She asked Tofu, tilting her head slightly, looking very cute. Tofu scratched his head and said, "Long hair, it must be a woman." After a pause, he added: "There are also men with long hair these years, and I saw a back, I can't say." ”

This series of footprints has been walking into the depths of the poplar forest, and the distance between each footprint is about the same, so you can see that the other party is not hesitating, and the line is straight, as if it is very purposeful. Zhen Rui did not hesitate, and immediately said, "Follow up." ”

We also knew that the man in black who suddenly appeared was strange, so we didn't say much, and everyone was worried that something would happen in the woods, so they took out their guns and followed them all the way.

The light in this poplar forest is very dim, there is no wind at the moment, the leaves are motionless, and the forest is even more silent. We followed the footprints and walked forward, about 20 minutes, and we had already walked very deep, but this poplar forest was larger, distributed in the entire western part of the oasis, and the shuttle-shaped oasis was relatively long, so for a while, it was estimated that it would not reach the end.

The further I went, the more I felt that something was wrong.

Tofu lowered his voice and said, "This forest is so quiet, it seems that there are no animals. His words resonated with everyone, and Zhen Rui put on his mask again, leaving only half of his face, handsome and miserable, he took the tofu and said, "It's not that there are no animals, but they are hiding." ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the trees next to him, some of which had holes in them, apparently made by small animals. Tofu, who has always been very curious, snorted, leaned his head over, looked into one of the tree holes, and then pulled his head out sharply, and shouted, "Mom, there's a big snake in there!" ”

Zhong Gong said: "Could it be that there is any danger in this forest?" But it's not like all the animals are hiding, right? ”

Tofu said, "Could it be that the weather is too hot and they are hiding to escape the heat?" ”

Zhen Rui has always regarded tofu as a transparent person, and only replied to Zhong Gong: "That person dares to come in, he must be prepared, he shouldn't come alone, keep walking." "The footprints became clearer and clearer as the sand layer on the surface changed, and we soon found a very strange phenomenon, that is, these footprints, from the time they entered the forest to the present, have not turned a corner, but have always maintained a straight route.

Moments later, the footprints came to an abrupt end under a tree. Everyone stopped, brushed along the tree in front of them, and looked up, the crooked poplars were overgrown, obstructing our view. Everyone looked at each other, and the muzzle of the gun was pointed upward.

Tofu shouted: "People in the tree, don't hide, we're not bad people, come down and make friends." "It's like a fart, a bunch of us compare guns to the top, and we declare ourselves good guys, and only fools will believe it.

So I took the words of tofu and said coldly: "Come down, otherwise we will shoot." ”
