Chapter 19: The Story of Summer Trip (Part II)

The rain is getting heavier and heavier, and the raindrops the size of beans hit people's faces, that is, they can't open their eyes, and they are hot and painful!

We walked in a panic, unable to distinguish between east and west, north and south, and just instinctively walked in the opposite direction of the waterhole. Since there is no road, it is just a way through the bushes and grass.

On top of that, it was too dark, not only because of the rain, but also because of the fog that seemed to be emitting from the trees, so that people who were a step away could not see each other's faces clearly, and the storm hit the trees and grass around them, rustling, and they could not hear their respective footsteps.

In order to prevent someone from rolling down the mountain, and in order to let us who have basically lost our sense of sight and hearing have a care for each other, Ah Zhan asked us to use climbing ropes to form a string and line up in a column, and we had to report the number after walking for a while.

He was at the front, using a stick to cut through the thorns, and I stood at the last to prevent anyone from having an accident!

"One, two, three, four---fifteen!"

The last voice sounded in front of me, it was Zhao Jiang, I could tell from the voice that it was him, but how could he be the last person? The last one is obviously me!

I was taken aback, but then comforted myself, "Maybe I don't know who is nervous and has made a mistake, and it will be fine." As long as there are a lot of people, it proves that there is no problem! Will definitely correct it next time! ”

"One, two, three, four---fifteen!"

Again, before I could count, the sound stopped abruptly!

And then the second time, the third time! Every time the number of reports is closed by Zhao Jiang!

I'm starting to panic and don't know what to do. Ah Zhan was at the front of the line, and no one consulted with me. Is it someone who is frightened and makes mistakes repeatedly? Or is there something more in the ranks?

Just as I was hesitating, the count began again.

Seeing that the numbers were getting further and further back, and they were about to end up in Zhao Jiang, I gritted my teeth, and when the word 'fifteen' just came from the night, I immediately called 'sixteen'!

I screamed quite loudly, so it seemed very sudden in the dark night. I only felt that the rope in my hand was tight, and I almost fell, and then there was a sound of 'ouch', I believe that Ah Zhan heard my cry and stopped suddenly, and as a result, all the students who were moving forward by inertia fell!

"Wanli, hold on to the rope and don't let go!" Zhan shouted at me.

I said yes loudly, felt the rope shake, and then someone spoke. Slowly, I saw a dark shadow slowly move over, I knew it was Ah Zhan, we were so familiar that we didn't need any communication to feel each other's presence!

He walked over and touched my hand, "Fifteen! You're fifteenth, and not much! Don't be suspicious and funny, so that everyone can't go! He scolded me, as if he was impatient, and then turned away.

I wanted to explain, but I suddenly felt that there was something more in my hand, and under the touch was the small bloodwood sword, and I immediately understood that Ah Zhan also sensed that something was wrong, but he didn't say anything.

In this way, my heart was calm, and I listened to Ah Zhan walking back to the front of the line as he counted down, and the name of whoever was called would pause, as if he would be sure.

The team is up again, and the counting is still going on, but it's still the sixteenth person to get to me! I followed silently, not knowing when to go out and get rid of these strange things!

Again, Zhao Jiang said 'fifteen', and I suddenly realized that Zhao Jiang knew that I was the last, why didn't he feel strange when he reported 'fifteen'?!

I had the courage to chase a few steps forward, and strangely, it was only a meter away, but I didn't catch up, and he was still a thin little black shadow walking unhurriedly in front of me!

I lost my temper and thought that I had to chase him if I didn't care what you were, so I stubbornly chased after him, and it took ten minutes to get close to his back!

Zhao Jiang's back is a backpack that he carries with him, as he walks hard, shrugging on his shoulder, I can't catch up with him, so I went to grab his backpack, but I didn't expect to touch it, the bag 'suddenly' opened, and a ball of white things came out!

A naked baby was lying on the edge of his backpack and looking at me! He was pale and white, clutching something in his hand, and although he was in the image of a baby, he had the calculating eyes of an adult man. Can you imagine? A baby's face had adult eyes, which were particularly sinister and cunning, and his eyes glowed as green as beasts!

There was a 'stuck', and suddenly a loud bang broke out in the sky, which had not been thundering, and with lightning, I could see that the baby was holding a human finger in his hand, chewing with relish, chewing with his toothless mouth, the corners of which were full of blood, and apparently that the finger was fresh!

I was so frightened that my heart was about to stop, and I subconsciously pinched the little bloodwood sword and slashed it at the eyes of the strange baby, not because I was cruel, but because his eyes were really numb!

With a 'bang', the bloodwood sword crossed his eyes, and I only felt that the sword body seemed to be stuck in the soft mud, and I was so frightened that I hurriedly withdrew the sword.

At this time, his whole head seemed to be a tin can, and the skull part was lifted and turned back, and in the large open part, a large group of ants and insects poured out of it in a panic, even in the dark night, it was clear that the strange baby had no brains, and his head was just a nest of all kinds of insects!

Before I could come back to my senses, the strange baby cried out with a 'wow', it was so loud in the rainy night, everyone was stunned, and Zhao Jiang also turned around!

"You're looking for death!" Zhao Jiang glared at me fiercely, but the voice was a woman's, and then I saw with my own eyes that his face turned into a skull, and there was a white light flashing in the eye frame.

It stretched out its withered claws and crossed them towards my eyes, and I instinctively blocked them with my hands, and its claws touched the bloodwood sword directly, shattering into powder with a 'snap'.

It screamed, and then floated deep into the woods, and the head of the strange baby on her back was cut in half, and her head kept shaking behind her back, as if nodding to the people to say hello!

"What's wrong?" Ah Zhan was the first to run over.

"We've met—ghosts!" I finally said a whole sentence, and hid the bloodwood sword in the palm of my hand, knowing that Ah Zhan's secret could not be known to others.

"Who's that?" I don't know who asked.

"Zhao Jiang."

As soon as my words came out, someone answered, startling me, and then Zhao Jiang's pale and thin face squeezed in from the classmates who gathered around. Only then did I know that the 'fifteenth' was not Zhao Jiang, he was just pretending to be Zhao Jiang!

"There's something strange in this wood, we have to get out of here!" Ah Zhan issued an order, "But let's stop using ropes, just hold hands, and don't let go, in case you let go, you must stay where you are, and ask me to come and see!" ”

At this time, everyone was frightened, so Ah Zhan, the only calm person, became the backbone of everyone, and the words he said were immediately executed. He took a flashlight and shone his classmates' faces one by one, and then clasped their hands together. At this time, I was still standing at the end, and when Ah Zhan came over, I tried to give him the bloody wooden sword, but he stuffed it in my hand again, "You have offended them, you need it more!" He said.

We walked forward with difficulty, but now we were accompanied not only by the sound of wind and rain, but also by the occasional thunder and lightning, and that the crying of a woman, the laughter of a baby, and the sound of this woman talking to herself, echoed intermittently in the woods around us!

"Son, what a ruthless person, cut your head in two, come, don't be afraid, baby, mother sew it for you!"

The sound of threading the needle and thread sounded, so close that it seemed to be in the ear, and people couldn't help but want to touch their face to see if the needle and thread had been pierced on it!

"Mother, I'm hungry!" A man's voice said.

As soon as his voice came out, everyone was shocked, especially me, who was obviously a baby, crying and laughing like a baby, why was the voice an adult man? No wonder the strange baby had adult eyes. But that's weird! Or maybe there's another 'person'!

The woman burst into tears, "I'm sorry for you, my baby, I'm hungry!" Woo - shall we go find someone to eat? ”

The baby laughed as if he was happy, and the sound of chewing bones reached everyone's eardrums at the same time!

Crunch - crunch -

It seems that the rough surface of metal is grinding, and the long nails cut through the stones, making people feel that some bone in their body is being bitten and chewed!

One of the girls finally couldn't stand it anymore and let go of her hands holding each other with her classmates with a scream and covered her ears.

"Get down!" Ah Zhan suddenly shouted!

When the frightened classmates heard this, they all hurriedly fell to the ground, I lay on the ground and looked up, and saw Ah Zhan's shadow standing there, waving his arms jerkyly, and drawing a spell in the void in the air, and a spark exploded with a 'pop'. In the light, a black shadow twisted into a twisted shape, covered with a silk red coat, crying and screaming and retreating!

That dress is floating in the pool!

"Count the number of people!" Ah Zhan gave the order again, and then confirmed each person one by one, a full two. However, he still had to announce that one girl was missing!

At this time, the most terrible thing happened-because of the long period of panic and darkness, the students began to riot, and various opinions began to appear, and there was no longer unity of opinion!

Some said that the girl was disobedient and let go of everyone's hands, which was self-inflicted, and she couldn't endanger the lives of others in order to save her; Some said that they couldn't leave her alone, and that as many people as everyone came, as many people should leave; Some said they would stay where they were and wait until dawn; Some said that they should get out of the dense forest as soon as possible; Some say we have to stick together; Some say that everyone should spread out so that they have a better chance of survival!

But in short, there are many people who want to flee for their lives first, and only me, Nana and Zhao Jiang are the only ones who advocate listening to Ruan Zhan's command and saving the girl. Ah Zhan didn't say anything at all, just coldly watched everyone arguing!

"Be quiet, you're going to die here!" I couldn't take it anymore and screamed.

I don't know if it's because I'm so angry, I look more hideous, or if my momentum shocked those people, but anyway, after I screamed, it was quieter. But before I could say the next word, the conversation between a woman and a strange baby sounded in the woods.

"Son, don't run around, those bad guys are going to cut your head again! My mother doesn't have a needle and thread for you! ”

"But mother, it's too cold here, let me out!"

"Ahh

As if he had seen something, he suddenly burst out of the crowd and ran into the dense forest in the opposite direction from which the sound came, and the prolonged tone echoed all the time, from near to far, and from far to near, running a little round in the woods and rushing back!

He ran as he screamed, and rushed back, only to come back - his head was gone!
