Chapter 31: She's a Woman

"Who are you?" Although Xiao Xia was afraid, she felt that the other party had no malicious intentions, so she had the courage to ask.

No one answered.

However, the green eyes blinked, and Xiao Xia noticed that the green of these eyes was different from the green of the black cat's eyes. The eyes of the black cat are dark green and glowing with cold light, which is very evil, while the eyes hiding behind the bushes are the reflection of normal eyes in the dark night, but they are brighter and have a little green!

Natsu got up and felt that it should be a human hiding behind the bushes. It's not because he chants in a human language he doesn't understand, (Black cats can also speak human language, but they are not human.) Rather, judging by the height of those eyes above the ground, and the sound of thin breathing in the stillness of the night.

"Excuse me—"

Before she could finish her sentence, the bushes suddenly stirred, and there was a continuous rustling sound, and the eyes were gone in a flash. Xiao Xia couldn't see clearly, but she could tell by feeling that the strange man hiding behind the tree was turning away.

"Don't go!" She screamed and chased into the woods, regardless of life or death.

This side is a dense forest and there is no road. The man walked very fast, Xiao Xia only saw a large cluster of plants in front of him in the darkness and then quickly closed together, so he had to use the bloodwood sword as a tool to open the mountain, and while splitting the plants in his way, he shouted, "Please wait a minute-I have something to ask for advice--human life is at stake, please do me a favor-ah-"

She didn't cut the bush in front of her for a while, but the pliable branch bounced back and hit her right in the face, making her feel a spicy pain, and even tears came out, but she still refused to stop, desperately chasing forward, "Please, stop!" ”

She continued to call out to the back in front of her, which seemed to be avoiding her, running faster and faster, and it was gradually blurring, "Please help!" Save him! I'll say whatever you want - just don't let him die! Stop and at least take your shoes away! Ahh

Xiao Xia fell again, and was so embarrassed that he didn't even get up after climbing several times, seeing that the shadow in front of him had completely disappeared, and even the traces of people walking in the bushes had disappeared, and he knew that the strange man had left, and he couldn't help but feel sad and cried loudly in the grass.

The Gu in the thousands of miles is very evil, Ruan Zhan said that only by finding the jungle monster can there be a way, this mountain is so big, how difficult it is to find someone who wants to hide, and she finally encountered it, but she lost it!

Why is she so useless! Why can't it help at all! People like her continue to live and contribute nothing to the world! It's just a waste of food! She buried the opportunity to save thousands of lives for no reason! Maybe the only chance!

She's an idiot! It's all her fault!

She cried with self-reproach, all the panic and uneasiness in her heart were replaced by the feeling of heartbreak, completely ignoring the situation around her, willfully messing around the weeds, venting the sadness she had been patient, not noticing that the strange man hid in the bushes for a while and then slowly walked back.

"Wanli-you don't want to die-Wanli-" She threw her face to the ground, thinking about suffocating herself, but at that moment she found a pair of feet in front of her—only one with embroidered shoes, and the other barefoot!

She grabbed a pair of black, thin and dirty ankles in front of her without thinking, "Saving someone's life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, you help me, there will definitely be a good reward!" She sobbed, "You can do whatever you want, as long as you save him!" ”

"Give me my shoes!" There was a stiff voice overhead, unable to distinguish between men and women, joy and anger, and Xiao Xia couldn't even tell whether he or she was going to turn back, agreeing to help her or just asking for her shoes.

She got up, not daring to look at the other person's face, afraid of hearing a rejected answer, but respectfully put her shoes on with both hands.

The man took the shoe, and did not put it on, but stroked it lovingly for a while, and then carefully placed the shoe in his bosom.

Xiao Xia lowered her head and happened to see him (her) a pair of skinny, chicken-like hands, long nails, and hands full of mud, and she didn't know how long she hadn't washed them, like the hands of monsters in the movie, which made her shiver.

However, at this time, those hands reached over and gently caressed her face!

Xiao Xia stiffened and did not move, although his heart was a little numb, but he was afraid that if he dodged it, it would look unfriendly, and this strange person would not help him, so he desperately ordered himself to be patient, feeling that his (her) hand was extremely light on his face, as if he was cherishing it repeatedly.

"How delicate and smooth!" He or she sighed and whispered, "How nice it is to be young! ”

"Please save my friend!" Xiao Xia shuddered and pleaded.

"What he is in is a Death Gu, unless the person who is under the Gu is dead, he can't live!" The man said quietly.

"Who is the person who is under the Gu?"

The man's hand froze on her face, and she didn't speak.

"You must know who he is, don't you? Tell me! I will repay you, I will agree to whatever conditions you want, please! ”

"He's awesome—he's awesome—he's awesome—he's awesome—he's awesome—he'

"Just tell me where to find him!"

"He-" The man's body also stiffened, and after only saying two words, he began to mumble non-stop, saying things that Xiao Xia didn't understand, but his (her) hand didn't take away Xiao Xia's face!

"Tell me!" Natsu begged.

"No—no—he's going to kill me!" The man suddenly lowered his voice, approached Xiao Xia's face, and said mysteriously.

Natsu immediately smelled a sour and disgusting smell mixed with dirt, rotten leaves, rotting flesh, and an indescribable strange smell, and saw his or her mouth full of mutilated black teeth!

I heard that people who eat the corpses of dead people for a long time have black teeth!

This thought and the image of this strange man suddenly made Xiao Xia feel an inexplicable fear, but she still didn't want to give up asking about the Gu person, so in order to force her desire to escape, she grabbed the strange man's clothes and asked urgently, "Who is he?" ”

It was just a small movement, but the man suddenly took a few steps back as if he was very frightened, and took Xiao Xia with him, although he let go of his hand, he tore the placket of the strange man's clothes!

Probably adapted to the darkness, Xiao Xia clearly saw the two shriveled breasts of the strange man - she was a woman!

At this point, the strange man cried out, "Bride! The little bride - no, no, I dare not - the bride is for you! Give it back to you! Don't kill me! I leave, I die! Die far away, never again! ”

She screamed in terror, her glowing green eyes looking around, as if something was watching her from deep in the woods, and she was showing her heart. Then, before Natsu could understand what she was talking about as a 'bride', she quickly ran into the dense forest like crazy.

Xiao Xia stood there stupidly, watching the bushes in front of him split a thin line in the middle, moving chaotically for a while, making a rustling sound, and then calming down, so quiet that only the chirping of grass insects could be heard.

Once again, she has lost the only clue!

She didn't know whether to cry or not, she just felt powerless and hopeless.

The strange man was a woman, and although there were suspicions from the fact that she was wearing embroidered shoes, today was the first time that she was sure that she was indeed a woman!

But what did she mean by 'bride'? Is that the Demoliqué? I heard that she was the bride when she died! And isn't this strange woman also wearing embroidered shoes that the bride wore when she got married? Listening to her tone, she robbed someone else's bride, what's going on?

She must know the person who went down the trick, and it seems that that person has something to do with some 'bride'!

Rustle -

There was another sound of footsteps in the grass on the side, and Xiao Xia's heart tightened, thinking that the strange woman had come back again, and turned her head excitedly.

No one.

However, the rustling sound was still heard, and the grass kept parting to the sides, as if someone had come out of the depths of the woods, but there was no figure in sight!

Xiao Xia blinked her eyes vigorously, afraid that she would hallucinate because of the blurred tears, but if you look closely, the situation is the same, and judging from the traces of the grass, the invisible thing is gradually approaching her!

Rustle-

5 meters - 3 meters - 2 meters -

Another clump of grass fell down not far in front of her and then bounced up again, and when Xiao Xia saw that the grass was being crushed, a pair of footprints appeared on the muddy ground, a man's footprint!

An invisible man is approaching her step by step!

Fear can't describe her mood at the moment, but extreme fear, panic, helplessness, and the oppressive feeling of being chased by invisible things, these feelings made her unable to react at first, but when the pair of footprints approached again, her brain sent a signal to 'run' in time!

Don't look back!

This is the experience she has summed up since she began to encounter strange things. So she didn't turn her head to look at what was going on behind her, even though the rustle behind her was always there, as if no matter how fast she ran, she couldn't shake off the invisible person who followed her.

She didn't know what the Invisible Man was for, but she wasn't stupid enough to stop and ask him. She just ran as hard as she could, thinking that the darkness was going to pass, and that when the day dawned everything would be gone.

What a wonderful thing it is to be light!

"Stop—baby!" Suddenly a man's call came from behind her, and the voice was vague, as if it was coming from afar, not as if it was behind her, and at the same time a hand that was so soft that it could not speak touched her back, making her scream in horror and almost fall to the ground.

"Get out of here!" She screamed, ignoring what was behind her, and turned a corner to continue her flight.

She can't run in the set direction, who knows if the invisible man will take her as a prey and drive her to the designed place, even if she is a lamb to the slaughter now, she will not obediently enter the slaughterhouse!

So she went east and west, trying to scramble the direction as much as she could, though she couldn't make out the direction herself.

Behind her, there was no sound of footsteps, just rustling, which made Xiao Xia feel that it was not someone chasing her, but a reptile like a snake, and the soft hand-like thing kept trying to touch her back and waist, making her run all the way and scream all the way, every time she narrowly avoided it, not being hugged firmly, or grabbed by the hair.

Why isn't it dawn yet?

Thinking anxiously, Xiao Xia unconsciously cut through the dense forest and ran onto a path that pedestrians had stepped on. The things behind her followed like a desperate one, so that she had no time to judge anything, so she could only flee along the road, although she knew that she still couldn't shake it off, but the speed of the pursuers seemed to be a little slower in the open area. And there is no more rustling sound that makes people's scalps tingle, only the footprints printed on the ground follow her!

Fatigue, which made her almost collapse; The heart beat like a drum in her chest; The sky, only slightly white, proves that it will be a little before the light comes; And she can't hold on anymore!

At this moment, a gentle place in front of her burst into her field of vision.

The trees in this place are sparse and relatively open, and Xiao Xia ran over without thinking about it. But as soon as she broke in, she found that this was a cemetery, surrounded by semi-circular graves, some with stone tablets, some with a wooden bar, and in the white sky, it was like a shadow staring at her quietly.

The feeling of being besieged made her pause for a moment, wanting to leave here immediately, but the pair of footprints appeared in her sight again, forcing her to move forward, her heart was full of despair, could it be that she was so crutches and turns, or she still couldn't get rid of the invisible hand, and was she still driven to the slaughterhouse after all?

She panicked around a grave bag and hid behind a large tree gasping for breath, and when she saw the pair of evil footprints stopped at a place not far from her as if they had lost their direction, she couldn't help but shrink back from the tree to avoid it again.

She held her breath and quietly, slowly, backwards, and backs—

Behind her, a chill soaked in, and suddenly a hand slapped her on the shoulder!

This made her subconsciously scream, because she turned around too quickly, and sat down on the grave bag next to her. There was a worn-out wooden strip on the grave bag, and a few words were written crookedly, and the handwriting was blurred, and it was impossible to see what it was.

A man dressed in shabby gray stood by a tree with his back to her.

But how did he come about? There was no one there just now! And if he turned his back to Xiao Xia, how could he pat her on the shoulder? At this pre-dawn hour, no one will be in the cemetery at all! Unless he's-

Xiao Xia was so frightened and tired that she could barely move, she just sat there, and the 'person' never moved. This made Xiao Xia see clearly that he seemed to be an 'old man', but he kept his head down and didn't turn around, and from Xiao Xia's perspective of looking up from behind, at first glance he would think that he had no head. He was very thin, very thin, with his ankles bare, but he could not see his feet, because his feet were not in the dirt!

"Over there!" He spoke suddenly.

Natsu gasped in horror and shrank back, only to snuggle even more tightly on the grave bag. This made her suddenly think that she was not leaning on someone's 'doorstep'!

"Go over there." And he said, stretching out his hand and pointing to his left.

Xiao Xia then realized that he was showing her the way, but why?

"Quick!" He said again, changing hands and pointing to the right again.

Xiao Xia looked to the right, and it turned out that her exclamation had revealed her whereabouts, and the footprints chased after her again.

There was no time to doubt, she struggled to get up and ran to the left. After running more than ten meters away, I suddenly couldn't hear the tracking sound.

She turned around suddenly, and sure enough, she saw that the footprints were not far behind her, lingering in place for a while, looking very unwilling, but she just didn't come!

He didn't dare come over here! Just go a little further back and wait for the sky to fully light up and it's over!

Thinking so, Xiao Xia slowly retreated while monitoring the footprints to guard against its sudden attack, but before he took a few steps back, he felt that his feet were soft, and he fell into a deep pit with a 'bang'.

The pain and fright made her scream in pain, and then when she watched from side to side, she almost fainted!

She found herself lying on a clump of extremely beautiful flowers, and not far from her, there was a coffin, and a rotting corpse was sitting watching her!
