125.Chapter 125: Enter the Ghost Village
Before, he was dragged by the big water ghost with the bamboo dragon coffin on the river surface, which was indeed enough to pull the wind, but I don't know how many ghosts who came out to move out at night were alarmed. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
It may take a while for the high-ranking people who follow us to discover the traces of me and Mantou, but from the perspective of non-humans, we have already been exposed.
Maybe that's why it's a bit too high-profile, and if it's not for the rush, I don't really like it.
Forget it, I don't want to dwell on it anymore.
I pointed ahead and said to the steamed buns, "Let's go, we should be able to reach the village before dawn." ”
It was about four o'clock in the morning, and the background was not visible, and only the outline of the dark Stone Horse Mountain in front of us could be faintly seen, but it really looked like a man was leaning over the ground, waiting for us to approach.
This made me subconsciously think of what my father said, isn't the father of the Yang family hiding in this area?
The darkest hour before dawn is coming, and the visual perception is very bad.
However, because I have steamed buns as my companion, she is far more sensitive to the environment than me, and I think that even if there is any movement in front of me, I can probably use the steamed buns to react in time.
As I walked about 100 meters away from the riverbank, I didn't hear a word from her, but I felt her floating above my left shoulder, and I could see her as soon as I turned my head.
Oh, by the way, it wasn't until then that I realized that the steamed buns, who were usually chattering and talking, were now silent.
"Steamed buns?"
"Hmm. ”
I curiously asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"Brother, I'm scared. ”
Oh, she's starting to call brother again, and it looks like there's some trouble ahead.
I asked her if she sensed any danger ahead.
She shook her head.
"Then what are you afraid of!" I said curiously.
Mantou said that she didn't know either, anyway, she was afraid.
Oh, that should be fine. In my own experience, it seems normal for people to go to a completely unfamiliar place and in the dark of night.
After walking forward for a short while, the steamed bun called brother again.
"What's wrong again?"
"I'm cold, very, very cold!"
Belch...... The ghost's constitution also feels cold? I see! Probably because it is getting closer and closer to Shima Mountain, and the cold air and influence of the Yin Snake are slowly exerting itself.
I was about to ask Mantou if I wanted me to take off my coat for her, but I immediately realized that she was no longer human, how could she use it?
She was about to take out a bottle of wine to warm her body, but Mantou spoke again and asked to return to the bracelet, because she was too cold to stand it.
Okay, okay, I immediately opened the bracelet and let her in, then took a rope and tied it around my neck near my chest to warm it.
Yes, it seems that no matter what difficulties and obstacles lie ahead, you have to rely on your own strength to get everything done.
Before I went out, I asked my dad that it was eight kilometers north from Yang Village to Shima Village, and I had to go around the foot of the mountain for most of the time, while I was not so troublesome to go by the Dilong River, and the distance in a straight line was only about four kilometers.
Also, there are two hours before dawn, and although the road conditions are not good, the good thing is that the sky will get brighter and brighter, and most of the non-humans will have to arrive home before dawn, so I don't think there will be any serious problems ahead.
After a few hundred meters of walking, the vegetation on the ground was completely different from the ones by the river.
In the past, when I was near the river beach, the plants were fresh and flourishing because of the abundant water, and the smell of herbs was very comfortable when I stepped on them.
But the further I went, the more plants began to sparse, the ground became harder and harder, and there were more and more cold-tolerant and drought-tolerant vitex bushes, so I had to pull out a bamboo stick prepared in advance and move forward while beating and plucking the thorn branches, which was quite difficult!
After walking for almost a kilometer, I was so tired that I had to stop and take a break.
I took out my mobile phone and looked at the time, and it took me an hour to walk for just one kilometer! And when I walked here, the communication signal was completely gone.
With a wry smile, I simply turned off my phone first, and decided not to turn it on as much as possible in the future.
Because on the one hand, even if the phone is turned on, there is no way to talk, and the power is consumed in vain, but on the other hand, if there is a special discovery to take pictures and collect evidence, the mobile phone is still useful.
......
It's still dawn, and I'm still on my way.
But my vision was getting clearer, and I could already see the village at the foot of Shima Mountain, and I could make out the shapes of the houses from a distance, and I couldn't see clearly in the grass and trees, and there was no smoke in the cooking, and I could feel the dead silence and desertion peculiar to a ghost village.
Fortunately, in broad daylight, it is much faster to walk and the direction is easier to discern.
As I walked, I came across a snake that was hovering right in front of me, spitting out a letter at me.
It's strange to say that I've been tapping the bamboo stick, but I haven't been able to scare it away.
I was a man, and I was naturally a little frightened, so I stopped and began to confront it, and I looked at it, and it was a snake that I had never seen before, and its body was obviously black, but it could be seen clearly on the same dark mud floor.
Hah, it has three eyelashes above its eyes......
Its eyes were cold and cold, and it stood in my way with such arrogance and mockery.
Hehe~
"I'm here to find the Yin Snake, what are you little thing stopping me for? ”
But it still wouldn't give way.
I'm annoyed, in broad daylight, does the Yin Snake really have the leisure to pretend to be a ghost with me?
Suddenly remembered that there was something else on his body, that is, after the Tian family accepted the handle of the snake head, after repeated deliberation, they finally found the snake venom that the mechanism was opened and taken out from it.
When I went to pick up the steamed buns and left, Grandpa Tian specially divided a little bit the size of a match head and asked me to bring it to my father, and when I got home, my father took a little bit and brewed it in the wine, and then gave me a small bottle to take with me in case of emergency.
I don't know if it's useful?
But I had to give it a try.
I took out the vial, unscrewed the lid, and tilted the vial slightly towards the snake.
As a result, God!
The smell of medicinal wine only wafted out a little, and the snake that was still dragging its nostrils to the sky just now quickly sank into the bushes and disappeared!
It seems that it shouldn't be a subordinate or doppelganger of the Yin Snake!
I shook my head and moved on.
It was not easy! I finally came to the entrance of the village, only to see the vegetation invading the courtyard, and the walls and houses in front of me collapsed, and they were in a dilapidated state.
I decided to go to Uncle Chen's house first.
My father had an explanation before, saying that Uncle Chen's home was in the middle of the village, which was easy to identify.
Because there used to be a pear tree in the courtyard, the fruit that produced it was about the same size as the jar, and it was very sour, so it was called the sour pot pear, which was one of the raw materials used by Chen Bo to make wine.
But the pear tree has long since lost its life.
I just walked and watched, and the roads in the village were full of thorns, which was really difficult to walk.
After a large well, I think I have found a place: the other courtyards are full of wolves, and only a bare-raised tree peeks out of the half-section of the courtyard wall not far away.
I was overjoyed, and I was about to walk over with my feet, when I saw something hanging on the tree, what was it?
A small figure was hanging in the air, slowly swaying in the wind......
