Chapter 37: Sugar Gourd

Chen yun.

He lives in a village more than 10 miles away from the Yongjiang Reservoir.

Because of the abundance of forests in the Yongjiang Reservoir, almost all the people in their village and nearby villages will ride tricycles to the forests near the Yongjiang Reservoir to cut firewood.

Around eight o'clock in the evening,

It was dark, the waning moon was high, and the sky was full of stars.

There were gusts of mountain wind blowing around, the branches of the trees were rattling, and the birds and beasts in the forest were screaming, giving people an inexplicable sense of panic.

The faint moonlight shines through the dense jungle and sprinkles on the earth, and the stars are dotted, and there is a strange feeling of licking.

At this moment, Chen Yungang cut off a dry tree trunk and put it on his shoulder, preparing to go down the mountain.

The whistling mountain wind blew, bringing all kinds of noisy sounds, as if a ghost was roaring, and the temperature in the entire forest also dropped.

The night was dark, and there was a white mist in the forest, and it was white and misty, with a burst of coolness, which made people visually obstructed, and they could not see the road in the distance.

The path was quiet, only the rustle of Chen Yun's walking.

It's empty!

Endless darkness, like a terrible ghost, baring its teeth and claws, devouring everything.

The dark mountains and forests shrouded the surroundings, endlessly, and the strange cries made people frightened.

I don't know if it's because of the fog, Chen Yun always feels that the mountains and forests are full of weirdness tonight, and the endless darkness is like a demon, which makes him feel uneasy.

It was cold all around, the cold behind him was steep, and the cold swishing on his neck made him goosebumps.

It was as if there was a person standing behind him, staring straight at him with a pair of eyes, blowing cold air on his neck.

He looked back, and it was pitch black behind him, and there was nothing but an endless cold wind, blowing desperately.

"I'm really scared of myself, where did the people come from on this part of the road at night."

Chen Yun smiled self-deprecatingly and turned around.

Boom!

Boom!

Suddenly......

At the front of the path, there was a strange sound, as if something was gnawing at the bones.

Chen Yun's body stiffened, only feeling that his scalp was numb, and cold sweat broke out all over his body.

In this mountain forest, how can there be such a strange sound at night?

Could it be that a wild beast appeared on the road ahead?

Chen Yun's heart beat faster, his heart was nervous, his spirit was highly tense, and his heart was full of fear.

But this road was the way down the mountain, so he could only bite the bullet and take two steps forward cautiously.

Then he saw a child eating a string of sugar gourds on a stone on the side of the road in front of him.

The sugar gourd clucked in his mouth, like gnawing on a bone!

Seeing that it was a child, Chen Yun's nervous mood finally relaxed and regained his calm.

But on this big night, whose adult went up the mountain to chop wood and left the child here?

Aren't you afraid of any accidents?

"Little friend, why are you alone on the side of the road, your parents? Are they still chopping wood in the mountains and leaving you here alone? ”

Chen Yun asked with concern.

But when he was about to approach the child against the trunk of the tree.

Without saying a word, the little boy jumped down from the stone, took the sugar gourd in his hand, and jumped and ran towards the path.

Liu Yun had doubts, but he didn't think much about it, thinking that the little boy's family should be chopping wood nearby, so he dared to rest assured that he would stay here alone.

So he continued to walk against the trunk of the dead wood.

Boom!

Boom!

After a while, Chen Yun saw the little man before, he didn't go to his family, and sat on a stone eating sugar gourd.

The sound of chewing was like gnawing on a bone.

The little boy ate the sugar gourd in his hand, as if he didn't see him.

"Kids, you ......"

Before Chen Yun finished speaking, the little boy jumped down from the stone, picked up the sugar gourd in his hand, jumped and ran to the path ahead, and disappeared into the darkness.

This strange scene made Chen Yun feel stunned in his heart, and he felt a cold feeling all over his body.

It was as if someone was blowing cold air on the back of his neck, and it was so cold that it gave him goosebumps all over his body.

suddenly

A gust of wind blew from behind, Chen Yun trembled, and looked back but found nothing.

In the endless darkness, it was pitch black, and the surroundings were empty.

The voices of all kinds of birds and beasts came from the darkness, as if the ghosts were roaring, which attracted people's souls.

Chen Yun reached out and touched his back, but at some point, his clothes were already soaked with cold sweat.

He began to be afraid, frightened, and mentally tensed, like a frightened bird.

Chen Yun stabilized the trunk of the tree on his shoulder, and took a step, wanting to rush down the mountain quickly.

Boom!

Boom!

Just walked a little way.

Suddenly, the strange sound of chewing came from the darkness in front of the path.

He looked up and saw the little boy sitting on a stone in front of him again, still without saying a word, eating the sugar gourd in his hand one bite at a time.

It was as if he hadn't noticed him at all.

This time, Chen Yun's hair stood upside down, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his body was trembling.

His intuition told him that there was something wrong with the little boy, and he didn't dare to speak, so he walked directly past the little boy and walked briskly forward.

Until he walked by, the little boy did not speak, nor did he look at him, but still lowered his head and ate the sugar gourd in his hand.

Chen Yun breathed a sigh of relief and walked forward quickly, wanting to leave this strange place as soon as possible.

suddenly

He felt a hand on his shoulder, and at the same time there was a chill in his neck, as if someone was standing behind him, blowing on his neck

Chen Yun's heart jumped, and the intense fear made him tense and his body trembled.

He twisted his neck with difficulty to look, and a small face showed a strange smile, clinging to his eyes.

A pair of eyes rolled at him, staring straight at him.

Chen Yun was so frightened that his scalp was numb, his body trembled violently, and his heart rose to his throat, and he almost fell to the ground.

"Big brother, stay and eat sugar gourds together!"

The boy's voice came from behind, a pair of eyes staring at him, and his mouth was close to his neck.

Chen Yun was frightened, his whole body was trembling violently, and cold sweat the size of a bean dripped down his forehead.

Walking so fast on his own, with no footsteps behind him, when did the little boy catch up with him?

How is this possible?

Chen Yun inadvertently glanced at him, and only then did he see clearly that what the little boy was holding in his hand was not a sugar gourd, but a string of ......

Head!

His face turned pale in an instant, and his eyes widened in horror: "Save ......"

……

The dark night, the floating stars, the faint light sprinkled on the earth, the path was empty, and once again the calm, empty, and cold it had regained its former calm.

There was not a single figure around.

In the corner by the side of the road, there was only a dry tree trunk......

Boom!

Boom!

In the dark of night, a little boy sits on a stone on the side of the road, nibbling on a sugar gourd in his hand.

A string of ......

Head sugar gourd!
