Chapter 18: The Old Tree Spirit
It was as if I had been struck by a bolt of lightning, and I felt my brain buzz and wonder if the little fat man was joking with me.
The whole village is dead?
The little fat man looked at me and gritted his teeth and said, "In broad daylight, there is no one in the village, don't you think it's strange?" ”
"But I just ......" Although I also found this strangeness, I want to say that when I was looking for the little mute just now, someone opened the door for me.
"They were all dead last night!" The little fat man seemed to know what I was going to say, "It's just that they don't know they're dead yet, and they'll ...... when it's dark."
Before the little fat man could finish speaking, he suddenly noticed that the light in the room had dimmed rapidly, like a dark cloud before a storm.
"Oh no, let's go!"
The little fat man's face changed, and he dragged me out, and the whole sky was covered with a thick layer of dark clouds, and the leaves began to be blown by the wind.
Along the way, except for me and the little fat man, there was no one to see, and the wind was blowing, and this atmosphere made people shudder.
The clouds were getting thicker and thicker, and the light was getting darker and darker, and when I ran to the entrance of the village, I suddenly heard movement behind me, and when I turned my head to look, I found a large group of people slowly walking out of the village.
In addition to the villagers, there are many of these people that I have never seen before, and it seems that there are thousands of people, rushing up from a road out of the village. They walk in a strange way, the lower half of their bodies do not move, and the upper half of their bodies are swaying from side to side, and they look particularly scary in a dense area.
In front of me was a maze array that even the little fat master couldn't do, and behind it were thousands of things that I didn't know if they were humans or ghosts, and I panicked.
I gritted my teeth and said let's break in, it's better to be trapped by the Ecstasy than to be torn to shreds by these things.
I looked at the little fat man as I spoke, but I was taken aback by his expression.
I've never seen him look like this, his whole face turned iron-blue, as if it had been plated with a layer of lead, and his eyes bulged high, as if they were about to pop out of their sockets at any moment, and they were covered with dense bloodshot like earthworms.
This face can be described in two words: hideous!
I was taken aback by him and asked, are you okay?
The little fat man glared at the "crowd" slowly approaching us, and muttered, "Could it be them?" ”
"Who?" I was confused, and it seemed that the little fat man seemed to know the part of the crowd that I didn't recognize.
"Remember every word I say!" The little fat man suddenly turned his head to look at me, his face was very solemn, "Later, you will see a path that you don't know, and you will meet many people on the way, and they will ask you for food." If you see someone dressed in white, you break off a little bit of dry food and throw it to your left, and if you see someone wearing red, you throw it back, and you must not talk to them. ”
"You can't turn back on the road, follow that road all the way, you can get out of the village, run as far as possible, and never come back!"
I was confused, I didn't know why the little fat man said this to me, and before I could ask, the little fat man untied his backpack and put it on me, and then took out a piece of talisman paper and slapped it on my head, "I will use a small method to let you out, remember, this place will never come back in the future." ”
I said what do you do?
The little fat man gritted his teeth, "You don't care about me, I have a way to deal with it, and I will come to you in the future......"
"But ......"
"Don't do it, there's no time!" The little fat man glanced back at the dense group of "people", who were only less than fifty meters away from us at this time.
"Hold your breath!"
Although I still have a lot of questions in my heart and am worried about the safety of the little fat man, I have no choice but to do what the little fat man said, take a deep breath, and then hold my breath.
Then I heard the little fat man muttering something next to me, and then I felt my body slowly begin to lighten, and the scene in front of me began to distort, like ripples caused by a pebble thrown onto the water.
When the ripples receded, I suddenly noticed that there was a different scene in front of me.
All around was pitch black, as if in the middle of a dark space, a path floated under the feet, zigzag and stretched forward, and the two sides of the road were full of black holes, like an abyss.
As soon as I took a step forward, I felt that it was very difficult, and the path was like a magnet that sucked the soles of my feet, and every step was very difficult.
After walking for about five minutes, a man in white clothes suddenly appeared in front of me, this person had a very small head, but his stomach was as thick as a water tank, he staggered to me, as if he was very hungry, and his viscous saliva flowed all over his chest, "Is there anything to eat?" ”
As he said this, I saw that both of his eyes were glowing green, as if he were going to swallow me in one gulp.
I looked at the color of his clothes, and hurriedly broke a piece of dry food and threw it to the left, and the man in white suddenly pounced on the left like a vicious dog, and then fell into the darkness with the dry food and disappeared without a trace.
After a while, I met a man in red, who looked similar to the man in white, but the color of the clothes was different, so I threw the dry food back.
The more I got to the back, the more "people" I encountered, and after a long time, I suddenly felt a dizziness in my head, and the scene in front of me distorted again.
When I returned to normal, I found that I had already left the village, and when I looked back, the Ecstasy Array was actually less than five meters away from me. But I had just walked on that path, and it had been at least forty minutes!
But I didn't have the heart to think too much about it now, so I ran out of the Ecstasy until I reached a small hill to the east, and then I stopped and gasped for air.
Standing on the hillside and looking back at the village, I found that the whole village was shrouded in a thick black fog, and I couldn't see anything in it at all.
When I finally got out of the village, I felt like I had a new life, but I wasn't happy at all, the second uncle and aunt were gone, the little mute was gone, and the little fat man didn't know what was going on......
Thinking about it, I felt a sour nose, and the emotions that I had suppressed for too many days finally came out.
These days have really scared me, I have been wrapped in a suppressed emotion, and now that I think about it, I still feel scared for a while, everything that has happened these days can hardly be explained by common sense.
Looking at the village under the mist, I don't know what it's like, is it all over?
I sat on the hillside, feeling very helpless, feeling very lonely, not knowing what to do next.
By this time it was completely dark, and I walked forward for a while, and saw a very thick tree in front of me, this tree was so big that I guess several people could not hold it together, and the branches and foliage were extremely luxuriant, and it was a good place to stay.
I sat there against the foot of the tree, and I didn't know what to do next, maybe my nerves had collapsed so hard these days that I fell asleep in a daze.
Halfway through my sleep, I felt an itch on my body, as if something was crawling on my body. I opened my eyes and was surprised to find that my hands and feet were entangled in strange vines that made me unable to move, and those vines ran down my thighs, climbed up my torso, and then spread all over my body like countless poisonous snakes.
I wanted to shout, but I couldn't shout, I couldn't move even half a minute if I wanted to struggle, I felt that it was getting more and more difficult to breathe, and just when I was about to lose consciousness, an ancient woman in red clothes suddenly appeared in front of me.
As soon as she appeared, the vines retracted like tentacles, and I was free again.
I said thank you to the woman in red, the woman in red didn't reply, her whole body was translucent, and it took a long time before she slowly raised her head, and I suddenly recognized that this woman in red was Zhang Ya.
I shouted her name and was about to walk over, when I saw her head spinning slowly like a spinning top, and her body didn't move, just her head turning.
When she turned her head to the other side, I was shocked to find that there was a face on the back of her head, and this face was a little mute!
"Little dumb!" I was so excited that I couldn't care about this strange sight, so I stepped forward to hold her in my arms.
But it was just the airway in the corridor, and her body was translucent, like an illusion, so that I could see it but couldn't touch it.
"Little mute, little mute!"
I shouted her name aloud, and a gust of wind blew her body like a feather, and finally disappeared.
"Little dumb!" I shouted, my hands and feet trembled, and I opened my eyes violently to find that it was just a dream.
At this time, it was already dawn, and just as I was about to stand up, I suddenly felt that there was someone behind me, and when I turned my head to look, I was happy to find that it was a little fat man!
"Little fat man, why did you get out!"
I walked over and gave him a big hug, never realizing that I cared so much about this little fat man.
He showed a very nervous expression, "Let's go, you hurry up and find Zhang Ya!" ”
I was stunned, why did it get to Zhang Ya again? I asked what this had to do with Zhang Ya.
The little fat man urged me to grab my things and hurry away, so I had to turn around in confusion and grab the backpack on the ground. Suddenly he noticed that something was wrong, and asked the little fat man, "When you came here just now, did you see me leaning against a big tree?" It's a very big one. ”
The little fat man's face was a little flustered, and he said impatiently, "There are stones everywhere here, where did the big trees come from?" ”
I was completely stunned, I remember clearly, I obviously fell asleep against a huge tree last night, how did I wake up and disappear?
I hurriedly told the little fat man about this, and the little fat man's face slowly became solemn, "It can't be an old tree spirit, why did this thing also appear?" ”
