Chapter 17: The Scorpion Cave
The black shadow that leaps out of the water can separate the snake from the poisonous toad, but it is extraordinary, it lives underwater, so every time I hear its voice, it always feels muffled, as if it came from the ground.
The paper man shook his head: "When it jumped out, it moved very quickly, and I only saw a black shadow, and I didn't see it clearly at all." It should be four-legged though. ”
I was shocked, it actually had legs, I thought it was some kind of strange fish, it could swim in the water, what the hell was it. I waited at the water's edge for more than ten minutes until the toads on the surface of the water had basically crossed the stream and the snakes on the other side had slipped away.
I was about to cross the river, but just as I was trying the water with my hands, I felt a strong pain hit me, which instantly spread throughout my body. I screamed, took a few steps back, and spat out a mouthful of blood.
The Gu poison has attacked! And it came very strongly, very turbulently. The whole body was like dozens of sharp knives piercing at the same time. I even felt bugs crawling in my bones.
I sat down on the stone: "Sister Paper Man...... I had no way of escaping. The Gu worms in the body began to attack. On my first day, Luo Dajin fed me a mysterious Gu worm. Later, another poisonous scorpion burrowed into my body. Now it's a seizure. ”
After saying these few words, I felt as if my strength had been drained, and I only felt that life was worse than death, and then I coughed violently. With every cough, blood spat out.
The vicious Luo Dajin, the murderous Gu worm, I gritted my teeth, but I was helpless. Once I stay away from Heihuazhai, the Gu worms in my body will attack, and they will be overwhelming.
The paper figure jumped down from a height, its face expressionless, but I could feel that it was anxious: "Xiao Kang, are you okay?" ”
I lay on the rock, bean-sized drops of sweat rolling down my forehead, and I could only shake my head, but I had no strength to speak.
Luo Dajin's words sounded in my mind, if you escape from the Black Flower Village, you will have ten thousand insects in your heart, and the seven orifices will bleed to death, and only then will I believe it.
I rolled on the ground, clutching my stomach, vomiting blood in my mouth, and being bitten by countless insects all over my body, which lasted for more than ten minutes. But for me, it's like being bitten by insects for three days and three nights.
No strong-willed person can stand this kind of torture. The paper figure lowered its head and let out a "duh" cry, which could be heard as sad and anxious.
After the severe pain subsided, my whole body was soaked with sweat, my strength collapsed, I had no strength, and I didn't even have the slightest idea of running away for survival. I smiled bitterly and said, "Sister Paper Man, please ask you for something, please run for me." ”
Seeing that I could speak, the paper man wiped the sweat on my forehead with his paper hand, and after his arm was stained with sweat, he got a big wet piece, and said very distressedly: "Xiao Kang, you say, what can I help you do?" ”
I slowly took out the worn-out rattle and solemnly handed it to the paper man: "Please give this thing to my father, tell him that I am in Heihuazhai, and ask him to save me." In the rattle, there is my handwriting, and he knows my handwriting. ”
I was worried that Abba and Grandma wouldn't believe in the paper man, so I gave the rattle to the paper man. Abba turns on the rattle and sees my handwriting and comes to my rescue.
The paper man took the rattle: "Xiao Kang, let's go together!" ”
I shook my head: "I can't go, if I go any further, the Gu worms will kill me, and then eat clean!" Sister Paper Man, please remember that my family lives in Xiaojia Town, at the foot of Damu Mountain, Hubei, close to Jiujiang City, Jiangxi. My father's name is Xiao Huaiyun, and my mother's name is Long Feifei. ”
The paper figures are made of paper, bamboo, and wire, and their bones are very fragile, and it is unknown whether they can cross thousands of miles, jump over mountains and forests, cross towns, and finally deliver rattles to my parents.
There will be heavy winds and rain on the road, and there will be all kinds of bad guys, and the chances of success are slim. But this is my only hope, and I can't give up. I looked at the paper figure pleadingly, tears rolling down my eyes.
The paper man didn't speak for a long time, but just reached out to wipe away my tears: "Xiaojia Town, Damu Mountain, Hubei, your father's name is Xiao Huaiyun, and your aunt's name is Long Feifei, I'm not mistaken." ”
When I heard this, I was overjoyed, and my sister promised me: "That's right, it's not wrong at all." Sister paper man, you are a paper man who can run, don't be seen, some Taoist priests and monks will accept you. Also, don't rush on heavy rainy days, pay attention to fires, and be careful when crossing rivers and rivers. ”
A trip to the mountains, a trip to the water, a trip to the wind, a trip to the rain.
The paper man nodded: "Okay, I remember everything you said." I'll send the message back, and it won't be long before your Abba comes to your rescue." ”
I nodded firmly: "Yes, my Abba will definitely come." Sister Paper Man, you can go now. I rested for a while and then walked back. Luo Dajin will find me, and I will definitely try to survive until my father and grandma come. ”
The mysterious Gu worm attack in my body, Luo Dajin, as a Gu master, should be able to sense it, and it is only a matter of time before he finds me.
The paper man jumped up from the stone and ran into the forest, and in a short time he picked a dozen wild fruits. It was afraid that after it was gone, I would go hungry, so I got these.
Paper Human: "Xiao Kang, I'm leaving, waiting for my good news." Grasping the rattle, it ran quickly, climbed up to a large tree on the shore, and with a gentle swing of its branches, leaped across the stream.
The paper man looked back at me and ran forward.
I waved at it, and for a moment, my heart swelled with sorrow, and I almost cried again.
I sat by the water for a while, drank some water, wrapped up the wild fruit, and began to walk back. The sky darkened again, and flocks of birds that returned late flocked to the dense forest.
I peeled through the forest with sticks, and the rain fell from the leaves. I didn't have time to dodge, I was completely soaked, and I couldn't help but shiver, not to mention how embarrassed I was.
I didn't walk very fast, and after walking for more than ten minutes, I noticed that the light was getting darker and darker, and it was about to get dark. What's even more frightening is that I can't tell the difference between southeast and northwest. The Gu worm attack just now consumed a lot of my physical strength, and my head was still dizzy, and my reaction became extremely sluggish.
Woo-hoo, goo-goo, and there was another dull and eerie cry in the woods. Seeing that it was about to get dark, there was no way to move forward. I decided to follow the direction from which the screams came.
It didn't take long for me to get dark, and I was soaking wet with all my clothes, even my hair, and my visibility was weak. I moved forward almost instinctively to survive.
Suddenly, there was a cool wind from the front, and I couldn't help but shiver. When I walked in, I found myself standing in front of a natural cave, and a cool breeze was blowing from it.
I felt a stone at the entrance to the cave, sat down on it to rest, ate a few more fruits, and regained a little more strength. It's just that the wind is gusting, and the body is constantly shaking.
I moved my body and hid behind a rock, which was better, because I had no matches to light a fire, and the branches were wet after the rain, and there were no dry branches to use, so I had no way to live, and I had to spend a long night in the dark.
I only hope that the mysterious Gu worm will not attack again, and I can no longer stand the feeling of being bitten by insects all over my body. Gradually, I fell asleep.
In the middle of the night, I felt a sharp burning sensation in my left arm. I snapped open my eyes and pulled back my sleeves to see the scorpion pattern on my left little arm moving.
It moved faintly, except for the slight swing of the scorpion's tail, but the burning sensation it brought was unusually strong.
As soon as the scorpion moved, I remembered Luo Youdao's vicious dog. At that time, after the vicious dog fell to the ground, ten golden-tailed imperial scorpions crawled out of its belly.
What is the reason for the scorpion pattern to move again? While I was puzzled, there was a sound on the ground.
I squinted and saw that the ground was densely covered with scorpions. I gasped and involuntarily took a few steps back, standing directly on the rock.
Click...... Two scorpions fell from the top of their heads. That's when I realized that not only the ground was crawling with poisonous scorpions, but even the top of the cave was crawling with poisonous scorpions.
It's literally a scorpion hole.
The reason why the scorpion pattern on my arm is moving is because it has something to do with these scorpions. Is it summoning scorpions?
The thought of being surrounded by scorpions gave me goosebumps all over my body, and I cautiously jumped off the rocks, intending to get out of here.
There was a bright light in the forest.
"Old man, you must catch that little brute." Miao Xiuping's voice came, "He blinded my right eye, I must gouge out his eye with my own hands, so as to solve the hatred in my heart!" ”
"Old woman, you dissipate your anger, there are always poisonous snakes chasing us behind this night, let's find a place to hide first." Shen Yinshan said, "The wind is gentle in front, there should be a cave, let's go in for the time being to avoid the limelight." ”
I hurriedly stopped my steps, although the poisonous scorpion was poisonous, it was far inferior to Shen Yinshan and Miao Xiuping, their hearts were poisonous.
The poisonous scorpion may not hurt me, but Miao Xiuping is determined to gouge out my eyes, and in the contrast between the two directions, I still choose to retreat to the scorpion hole and walk along the stone wall to the front.
Everywhere I went, the scorpions would get out of the way so I could settle down. They surround me, like they're protecting me. When I couldn't hear the conversation between Shen Yinshan and Miao Xiuping, I stopped my steps.
At this time, I had already walked to the depths of the natural cave, and when I looked inside, I saw a huge scorpion pattern in a daze, which was glowing faintly......
