Chapter 43: Despair
Seeing the black shadow standing quietly under the arch, I suddenly grew a white sweat, and my steps suddenly froze, and I subconsciously secretly hid in a darker place, the village is now in danger, I will first see who this black shadow is before making a decision!
As soon as I moved, the black shadow spoke up and called me, "Shen Dongfeng? ”
Hearing this voice, I suddenly paused and looked at the dark shadow in surprise - this voice was actually Zhang Qianqian's voice!
"Shen Dongfeng, is that you?" I didn't say anything in response, but the shadow called out to me and walked in my direction, her steps were fast and her tone was urgent, "Why are you back?" Why are you alone and the two of them? ”
The voice was indeed Zhang Qianqian's voice, and the tone was also hers, I hesitated, still standing in place and waiting for her to walk towards me, but two questions had quickly flashed in my mind: how could she stand here alone, the woman in red? Also, how did she know I was coming to the village?
Zhang Qianqian quickly walked up to me, glanced behind me hurriedly, and pulled me to hide at the door of a dilapidated adobe house on the side of the village street, I pretended to be in the dark and couldn't see clearly, intentionally or unintentionally touched her hand, her hand was warm and warm, I was slightly relieved, but my spirit was still tense.
"Shen Dongfeng, why are you back? Who got you back? When she pulled me to the door of the adobe house, Zhang Qianqian let go of me and questioned me in an anxious tone.
I was stunned for a moment when she questioned me, and retorted, "Didn't you throw the Seven Star Sword at Hu Datong's house just to lure me back?" ”
"Who threw the Seven Star Sword at Hu Datong's house? Who is Hu Datong? As soon as I finished speaking, Zhang Qianqian asked me with a face, and said angrily: "The seven-star sword has long been taken away by the woman in red, and she put it in the Hu Datong family you said to bring you back!" ”
I was so shocked that I opened my mouth wide!
Quickly thought about what happened, it was indeed too much of a coincidence, the woman in red hanged Hu Datong's ancestor and grandson, we seemed to easily find the clues that she had been, and also saw Zhang Qianqian's seven-star sword, so it was naturally easy to contact them to come back to our village, so naturally followed.
Damn, this is a trap!
But I soon realized the problem in Zhang Qianqian's words, and when she saw me, she asked, why did I come back, what about the two of them? Just now, it was said that the woman in red brought "you" back, and she seemed to know clearly that it was "we" who came back, not "me" who came back!
I clearly remember that the cold man only agreed to help me after Zhang Qianqian was taken away by the woman in red, and the trendy man also tracked down Zhang Qianqian's whereabouts with me after that, Zhang Qianqian shouldn't know, but she seems to know clearly that the two of them are with me!
Thinking of this, I shuddered suddenly, and now Zhang Qianqian ...... Problematic!
How did she end up in the village? Why are you waiting for me at the entrance of the village? What is her purpose?
A series of questions came to my mind, and I only felt cold sweat on my back, and I couldn't help but ask her, "How did you escape from the woman in red?" Also, you didn't let me go back to the village, why did you come back to the village? ”
Only when Zhang Qianqian answered these questions could I judge her purpose.
Zhang Qianqian was just about to speak, when she heard a sudden sound of footsteps on the street, and it seemed that there were several people rushing towards the entrance of the village, mixed with the low voice of someone, "He can't run out, what's the hurry, you can always find it if you look around!" ”
We were hiding under the eaves of the adobe house on the side of the street, and when we heard the footsteps, we immediately leaned our backs against the wall, holding our breath and concentrating, and we didn't even dare to gasp, but I heard the voice of my third uncle!
I was shocked and realized that they had found me out that I was not in the house, so I chased them to the entrance of the village!
Also, how did he say I couldn't get out? The entrance to this village is empty and unguarded, so why can't I get out?
But I could only hold back these questions, staring at the six or seven dark shadows running to the entrance of the village on the street, and then patrolling around, probably looking for me everywhere.
Zhang Qianqian and I didn't dare to speak anymore, so we could only use our backs to cling to the wall, staring back and forth at the six or seven black shadows.
The house where we were hiding was already facing the street, and the six or seven dark shadows looking for me were about a few meters away from us, and I only felt like a man's back, and my nervous heart was pounding, and I couldn't help but want to swallow my saliva, but I found that my throat was dry, and there was no saliva.
The worst thing is that a dark shadow among them actually walked slowly towards us, muttering something, it should be to see if this place can hide people or something.
As the shadow approached us, I quickly measured what we were going to do if he approached. Will you run away or knock him unconscious? I even tightened my grip on the ink ruler, thinking about how I could stun the black shadow that was about to walk around us without alarming the others.
The shadow was getting closer and closer, and it was getting closer and closer, and if it weren't for the fact that he was still looking back and forth, it would have been around us almost in the blink of an eye.
To my surprise, when the dark shadow approached, he unconsciously twitched his nose while looking back and forth, as if he was smelling the smell around him to determine whether there was anyone around, and he looked funny and weird, and he was secretly frightened to see me.
In the dark, Zhang Qianqian unconsciously put her hand into my hand, only to feel that her palm was sticky, and she was full of sweat.
The dark shadow was getting closer and closer, and Zhang Qianqian and I unconsciously held our breath at the same time.
At this moment, a strange sound suddenly sounded not far away, like someone was whistling, but it didn't look like it, it sounded quite oozing in the middle of the night!
As soon as the voice sounded, the black shadow approaching us suddenly stopped, turned its head to look in the direction from which the sound came, and then quickly ran back to the crowd, whispered something, and then a group of people quickly ran in the direction from which the sound came!
After the group ran away, Zhang Qianqian and I unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, Zhang Qianqian patted her chest and whispered, "I was scared to death just now, are they looking for you?" Who made that voice just now, was it the two of them? ”
I didn't answer her, I always felt that Zhang Qianqian had been intentionally or unintentionally inquiring about the whereabouts of the cold man and the new dynasty man, and I was more vigilant about her.
"You haven't answered my question, how did you escape from the woman in red? Why come back? I let go of Zhang Qianqian's little hand, and her voice was low and stubborn.
In the dark, Zhang Qianqian stared at me tightly for a moment, and then spoke, with a little coldness, "Shen Dongfeng, you are doubting me." ”
I didn't say anything, which was a tacit acquiescence.
Zhang Qianqian's whereabouts and speech and demeanor really make me suspicious.
"Actually, it's normal for you to be suspicious, even I don't know why she suddenly let me go, just take my seven-star sword." Zhang Qianqian let out a long sigh, full of doubts, "After she let me go, I immediately went back to look for you, but you weren't there, I waited all night and didn't wait for you, thinking that you must be back to the village, so I rushed back, but I didn't expect ......"
She didn't say anything halfway through her sentence, and I immediately asked, "What didn't you think of?" ”
After asking, I probably guessed that Zhang Qianqian must have suffered the same confusion and torture as me after she came back, I thought that there were not many people alive in the village, but I didn't expect the village to be a thriving scene, and the people who had already died stood in front of them alive again, that kind of impact and shock, not everyone can bear.
But what Zhang Qianqian said just now seemed to be able to round out why she knew that the trendy man and the cold man were with me, maybe she went back to look for us and saw that we were not there, so I guessed that the three of us were together. And the night she waited, it was very likely that we were at Shi Dashan's house!
These two details are basically correct.
But Zhang Qianqian told me much more than that, after she came back and saw the scene in the village, she said that she found that something was wrong with the village, and immediately planned to escape, at least go out to find us.
"Then why don't you go?" I asked her in confusion.
"Shen Dongfeng, let's ......" Zhang Qianqian looked at me in a depressed tone, "After we return to this village, we will never be able to leave again!" ”
What the?
I didn't understand the meaning of Zhang Qianqian's words at first, but Zhang Qianqian continued: "Before you appeared, I had tried countless times, I ran out of the arch at the entrance of the village, no matter how far I ran, no matter how fast I ran, no matter how long I ran, I would eventually return to the village!" ”
I was dumbfounded, is this a ghost hitting the wall?
I suddenly remembered what the dark shadows said when they came to us just now: He can't escape!
I was still wondering about the meaning of this sentence just now, but now I suddenly understand that what this person said just verified what Zhang Qianqian said, no matter how we run, we will still return to the village!
A burst of despair suddenly grabbed me!
Suddenly, I felt that the whole thing was a huge net from beginning to end, and someone had already secretly woven this net, just waiting for us to pounce into it!
I began to secretly worry, where are the cold man and the new Chao man now, have they entered the village?
If they hadn't come in, we might have hope, but if they did, wouldn't our hope be even slimmer?
I looked at the entrance of the village, the entrance of the village was empty, and there was no one waiting, I secretly breathed a sigh of relief, maybe the two of them had already discovered the strangeness of the village, and they didn't rush in!
After pondering for a moment, I turned around and walked towards the entrance of the village, Zhang Qianqian followed behind me and asked me in a low voice, "What are you going to do?" I've said I've tried it countless times, and you don't believe it...... Are you looking for your mother's corpse? ”
Before she finished speaking, I walked to the mound at the entrance of the village, looked at the mound first, and then asked Zhang Qianqian where she had buried my mother, I had to see if there was my mother's body in the mound of earth!
Zhang Qianqian roughly pointed to a location, I nodded, took out the ink ruler from my body and began to dig. Zhang Qianqian stood by and watched for a while, then gritted her teeth and came over to help me dig together......
Just as we dug into an arm, a voice came from behind us, "Fengzi, what are you doing?" ”
This voice sounded, so frightened that Zhang Qianqian and I trembled, almost fell to the ground, and turned our heads to look behind us in horror.
