Volume 2 Tuoshi Ridge_Chapter 9 Doubts
This is the second time I've seen those green eyes!
Strangely, I could only see the grass churning next to me, but I didn't see what it was with such green eyes. But it soon became clear to me that this thing was supposed to be black, blending in with the night, so I couldn't see its shape and shape, only a pair of green eyes.
These green eyes looked too permeable, so I immediately pulled out the ink ruler in my arms, and then reminded them in a low voice, "We have something on the left, everyone be careful!" ”
After I reminded in a low voice, I heard the sound of a trendy man drawing his sword behind me, and Wu Dahan stammered nervously, "What, what?" ”
No one answered him, and no one bothered to answer him.
I slowed down, staring at my left as I walked forward, my whole body tense, determined that if this thing attacked me, I would pull it over and smash it to pieces on the spot. But this thing is also very thief, and when I slow down, it slows down as well, and always runs forward at the same speed as me, and I can't attack it by surprise.
Helplessly, I can only be prepared to prevent it from suddenly attacking us!
"Fengzi, you slow down a little more!" I was on guard against the thing when I heard the voice of a cold man behind me.
I didn't understand what he was going to do, but I quickly slowed down.
As soon as I slowed down, I saw a figure flash behind me, rushing towards my left like lightning, and before I could even see what it was, I saw another figure leap up and rush up the hill to the left.
The speed of this coming and going was so fast that I only looked confused, and I didn't know what had just happened.
Just as I was staring blankly, the cold man fell to my side, pushed me, and whispered, "Hurry up!" ”
I quickly understood that the figure that jumped away just now was the thing with green eyes, and it should have been the cold man who used some method to scare it away. But that thing shouldn't have run far yet, and it may be chased back at any time, so the cold man told us to hurry up!
Turning his head to look, the long black shadows that had flashed on the field just now had also disappeared, and darkness and dead silence had returned to the surroundings.
A few of us did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and immediately ran in the direction of the village.
We had just taken a step when we heard the sound of a cat barking in the mountains behind us, melodious and tactful, like a child crying.
In this environment, hearing such a sound again really makes people feel that their scalp is numb, and the cold hairs all over our bodies stand on end, and we unconsciously speed up the pace of running forward, as if we are being pushed by something.
The strange thing is that after this voice sounded, the green-eyed things and those few black shadows did not appear again, and we actually ran back to the village safely!
We didn't think much about it, but hurried back to Wu Dahan's house.
When I ran back to Wu Dahan's house, it was nearly four o'clock in the morning, and we were tired and exhausted one by one, especially the trendy man, who ran back with Wu Dahan's wife's body on his back all the way, and put Wu Dahan and his wife on the kang after returning home, and then sat on the ground, panting heavily, and couldn't say a word for a long time.
I didn't speak for a long time, not only tired, but also nervous and afraid, all three things combined, I don't know how we got back.
Only Wu Dahan glanced up and down at his daughter-in-law's corpse, and then held his daughter-in-law's hand tightly, crying mournfully, "Daughter-in-law, what's wrong with you, okay, why did you go to the corpse rock?" Okay, why can't you think about it like that? ”
After crying for a while, he suddenly stood up, wiped a handful of tears with the back of his hand and said gloomily: "No, my daughter-in-law definitely didn't commit suicide, my daughter-in-law has always had a good heart, and she is quite kind to her neighbors or something, and there is nothing difficult at home that she can't get over, how can she not think of committing suicide?" Besides, the locust tree is so high, how could she climb it and commit suicide? ”
When he cried, we all sighed slightly, the reason he said, we had actually thought of it a long time ago, but now the question is, who got Wu Dahan and his daughter-in-law to the abandoned corpse rock, and then hung it on such a high locust tree?
From the time we went out to find Wu Dahan's daughter-in-law hanging on the locust tree, there was not too much time in between. In other words, the person who killed Wu Dahan's daughter-in-law did not have much time to commit the crime. Getting a living adult woman to the Abandoned Body Rock and hanging it on a tall locust tree requires great physical strength and a lot of time, which is not something ordinary people can do.
Now the biggest suspicion is that the people in the village and the unknown things in the deep mountains, the people in the village were excluded by Wu Dahan, so there are only unknown things left in the deep mountains.
Thinking of this, I turned my head and asked the cold man, "What you saw in the Abandoned Corpse Rock, is it that green-eyed thing?" ”
The cold man nodded, "That's right, there is more than one thing, it is very fast, vicious and vicious, and the person who sent the funeral should have been killed by that thing." ”
My heart trembled, the funeral man went from squatting on the ground to standing up, but in just a few seconds, the thing pounced on him and killed him, imagine how fast that thing was! And now the cold man said that there was more than one thing! Just thinking about how horrible a bunch of those things can be, I feel like my whole body is shaking
"Senior brother, have you seen anything else? Uncle Wu should have been dragged to the Abandoned Corpse Rock, did you find anything when you checked it just now? Also, the voice that sounded when we came back seemed to tell them not to chase them, otherwise we wouldn't have come back so safely. The trendy man frowned, "My sister-in-law was hanged on the locust tree, and the thing was chasing, as if to warn us." ”
Warn us?
It is not only Wu Dahan's family who buried the old man alive and then went to dig the grave in the middle of the night, why should they warn us?
This time, I asked the trendy man without waiting for the cold man to answer, "You just said that someone told that thing not to chase us." But the voice sounded in the mountains behind us, could it be that there was anyone living in the mountains? Not to mention anything else, that abandoned corpse rock is terrifying enough, who will live there? ”
After I said this, Wu Dahan, who had been watching our discussion in a daze, suddenly interjected, "That crazy Taoist priest lives in the mountains......
Before he finished speaking, the collar was grabbed by the trendy man, and the trendy man asked him urgently, "What did you just say, the crazy Taoist priest lives in the mountains?" ”
I also became excited, this is really stepping on the iron shoes and finding nowhere to go, we were originally involved in Wu Dahan's house by mistake, but I didn't expect to find out the whereabouts of the crazy Taoist. But seeing that Wu Dahan's face turned pale when he was frightened by the sudden movements of the trendy man, I quickly pulled them away and motioned for Wu Dahan to continue, "Brother Ang, how do you know that the mad Taoist priest lives on the mountain?" ”
"I, I, I don't know......" Wu Dahan was stunned by us, and shook his head in a daze before saying, "No one knows where he lives, it's just that every time he comes out, he comes out of the mountains, and some people say that they have seen him in the mountains, so I said that he lives in the mountains." ”
This time, Wu Dahan's tone was not so sure.
The cold man was silent for a moment, and then he opened his mouth and asked, "Where is Tuoshi Ridge?" ”
When asked about Tuoshiling, Wu Dahan came back to "life", "Tuoshiling, just a little behind the Abandoned Corpse Rock, you can reach it after a mountain pass, you also know Tuoshiling?" ”
We glanced at each other, and the cold man nodded, "That's it." ”
What is it, but he didn't say anything further, only asked Wu Dahan what he planned to do next.
Wu Dahan sat on the ground with a sad face, patted his legs and said, "What can I do?" If someone killed my daughter-in-law, I could still avenge my daughter-in-law, but now I don't know what killed my daughter-in-law, what can I do? God, what kind of sin have I done, the old man still doesn't know where to go, and his daughter-in-law was killed again, isn't this killing me......"
He cried so desolantly that we felt very uncomfortable in our hearts, and we also found it difficult to accept that a person who was alive a few hours ago had now become a cold corpse.
Wu Dahan cried for a long time, until his throat was hoarse, and then we persuaded him for a long time before he was willing to go to lie on the kang, saying that when the day dawned, he would find Mr. Feudal to come to see the days and feng shui, and find time to bury his daughter-in-law, we didn't say anything, nodded silently and said that we would help him with the funeral.
After Wu Dahan closed his eyes, the cold man motioned for me and the trendy man to walk up to him, and then wrote a few words on his hand.
