Chapter 80: A Strange Familiarity
I can't answer that question.
Because everything changed in just a few hours, I didn't know what to do.
But I inexplicably have an intuition that the deaths of Brother Liang and Uncle Ming must be inextricably linked to the sarcophagus under the pit.
As for this sarcophagus, no matter what demons and monsters are buried in it, it looks very large and heavy, and Ah Dong and I will definitely not be able to lift it.
In a flash of lightning, a name flashed through my mind.
Uncle Chen!
I still remember that Uncle Ming missed before, and there was an accident when arranging the coffin to be buried at night, and it was Uncle Chen who rushed to break the sky and solve the problem after seeing the root of the problem!
Now in this case, Ah Dong and I are stunned, not to mention solving the trouble, it is already a blessing to be able to save our lives!
I stood up against the big tree next to me, shook my head, and forced myself to calm down.
"Adong, now think about it, Uncle Ming should have noticed the danger a long time ago, and the reason why he pushed me back to get things was to prevent me from dying on the spot."
"So our top priority should be to escape from the village, go to the mountains to find Uncle Chen, and ask him if there is anything he can do."
"Don't touch the two corpses here."
I said as calmly as I could.
Ah Dong didn't have an idea now, so after thinking about it, he decided to go out of the village with him.
However, the two of us still couldn't bear to care about anything after all, and before leaving, we found a few big leaves to cover Brother Liang's broken body, which was regarded as giving him the last respect.
When we were done, we left the village at a brisk pace.
Ah Dong glanced back at this time, and realized that the village was too quiet.
"That's not right, Xiao Wu, at this time in the past, the group of old ladies in the village should have come out a long time ago and chewed their tongues under these nearby trees, why didn't they come out today?"
"Want to hear the truth?"
I didn't answer the rhetorical question, and my eyes were unusually calm.
Combined with the anomalies I encountered on the dirt road in the village before, I can roughly guess that there are probably only two living people in the entire village now, Ah Dong and me.
As if to confirm my thoughts, the smell of blood wafted through the air.
The smell was so strong that I almost threw up without holding back.
Hearing this, Ah Dong was stunned at the time, he has a very sensitive nose, and he was often ridiculed by the villagers for being a dog's nose before, so it was impossible not to smell blood.
So after a short period of distraction, a deep fear appeared in the depths of his eyes, and he immediately shook his head like pounding garlic, and his face was full of rejection.
"Forget it, you're not angry with this, don't talk about this."
"Then let's keep walking, if we are fast enough, we should be able to rush to the mountain before dark and see Uncle Chen."
"Let's go!"
……
The rest of the journey went very well.
There are no dirt roads that seem to have no end in sight, and there are no strangely shaped corpses.
Ah Dong and I left the village peacefully and began to walk the road into the mountains.
I still remember when I was young, we used to chop firewood and pick wild vegetables along this road, tired and sweaty, but also leisurely and happy.
But now that I am embarking on this road again, my mood has completely changed, and I have mixed tastes.
Just when I was immersed in the complicated emotions in my heart, I heard Adong's exclamation in my ears.
"Xiao Wu, look at the jungle over there, there was a dark shadow passing by just now, could it be a ghost? It's cold and eerie, and it's so easy to get ghosts. ”
"No matter how loud your voice is, the whole mountain can be heard, and it is estimated that the ghosts will be scared away by you by then!"
I frustrated my arm and stopped.
As far as the eye can see, because the surrounding trees are growing very well, the distance is still close, and the branches and leaves are crisscrossed, almost obscuring the sky above, and there is only a little light.
The road we were walking was a little far from the jungle, and we could only faintly see a dark shape.
But even so, you can still feel the chill emanating from there.
For the sake of prudence, I still took out the compass that Uncle Ming left on the edge of the pit, recalled his movements, and aimed at the jungle that Ah Dong said.
After some tossing, nothing unusual happened to the hands on the compass, and I was relieved for a while.
I grabbed Adong's arm and continued to walk forward.
After this journey, his mood stabilized, and he was not as scared as he was just now, so I let go of my hand.
As he walked, Ah Dong came up again, glanced at me, and said curiously: "Xiao Wu, when did you learn to use the compass, I have been with the master for so many years, and I usually don't see him use it less, but I just haven't learned it." ”
"I said I'm a genius, do you believe me?"
After saying that, my child shook off his hair handsomely.
In fact, my mind is not as calm as it seems on the surface, in fact, I also noticed that I was too comfortable using the compass just now.
Everything is natural and natural, and it feels like ......
I've used it at some point and now.
But at this juncture, the back of the head suddenly hurt, and the whole brain was as groggy as paste, and I was in no mood to think about anything else.
I had no choice but to give up on tracing the roots of my anomaly.
Coincidentally, the moment I gave up, my mind instantly became clear, and the discomfort I felt just now was gone.
Is someone stopping me from wanting to go down?
All of a sudden, there was a burst of pain in the back of the head again, like someone taking a silver needle and piercing it non-stop, it was a piercing pain.
"Forget it, I don't want to."
I muttered to myself twice, gave up thinking, and my head didn't hurt anymore.
It's not just a coincidence that things have gotten to this point.
There must be something deliberately stopping me from thinking about it!
But since my head hurt if I continued to dig deeper, I gave up on this plan and continued to move forward.
Ah Dong noticed my abnormality next to him, and said with some worry: "Xiao Wu, did you not eat in the morning, so you feel tired and dizzy when you walk the mountain road?" ”
"It's okay, Brother Liang also brought us steamed buns at that time."
As soon as the words came out, I fell silent.
The person who brought him food in the morning has now become a corpse, and no matter who he is, he can't bear this psychological gap.
I sighed and hurried on.
Ah Dong also noticed that I was not very happy, so he didn't bother and followed honestly.
Finally, after a long journey of several hours, we finally arrived outside the courtyard of Uncle Chen's house in the mountains.
Since there was no one else living here, he used a wooden fence so that the two of us could see clearly from the inside.
Uncle Chen usually likes to lie on the rattan chair, but now there is not even a figure.
Could it be that something happened to him too?
