Chapter 143: Return to the village
The moonlit treetops, the eyes are dark.
With the faint moonlight, we could barely see the road ahead.
But this road is like an open abyssal mouth, dark and hazy, with no end in sight.
Beside us, there is the eerie taiga.
As far as the eye can see, it looks like the deepest part of hell in the dark zone.
Once you set foot in it, you will be devoured by it.
"Brother Li, how long do we have to go?" Zhang San looked at me and asked.
From the time we left the forest to the present, Zhang San and I have been walking for about half an hour.
Half an hour is a drop in the bucket for those 200 kilometers.
I don't know what else to say, so I can only comfort Zhang San for the time being.
"It should be able to get there, don't worry about it yet."
I said I wasn't worried, but my anxiety was already reflected in my expression.
The road ahead is uncertain, and in the darkness, we have not yet found any hope.
"Brother Li, don't you have that everlasting lamp, why don't you light the everlasting lantern and try it." Zhang San suddenly proposed again.
That's right, the ever-bright light.
I quickly took the lantern out of my bag, and at the same time, attached the corpse chasm to the body bag.
"The yin corpse is on the road, and the idlers avoid it."
After the sound of the gong, a new exorcism of corpses is considered to have begun.
The shout echoed through the mountains and forests, not as a reminder to give way to anyone, but as a reminder that something was time to give way.
I don't know if it's an optical illusion, but I feel like the line of sight in front of me is much clearer than just now.
Compared to the hazy patch just now, our visual visibility is now significantly farther away.
Just then, I noticed two things lying on the ground not far away.
"Zhang San, wait!"
Hearing my shout, Zhang San hurriedly stopped.
"Brother Li, what's wrong?"
In this dark night, every word I say can make Zhang San tremble.
"Looks like there's something over there!" I lifted my hand and pointed in the direction I saw.
Zhang San's body was stunned for a moment, and then he turned his face to look at me.
"Brother Li, you should be right?"
If you are wrong, you must not be wrong, and when Zhang San asked, my eyes were still locked on what I saw.
Indeed, there were two things lying not far from us.
Whatever it is, if you see it, you have to look at it.
Calm down, my heart was crossed, and I grabbed the corpse whip and walked over.
However, the closer I got to those two things, the more confused I became.
Why does this thing look so familiar?
Until I stopped in front of those two things.
I recognized it, but I wasn't happy at all.
Zhang San slowed me over.
When he saw something on the ground, his expression was even more wonderful than mine.
"This, this, what's going on?"
Zhang San looked at me blankly.
I didn't know how to explain it for a while.
After taking a deep breath, I said tentatively.
"Maybe, maybe it's the same again, right?" Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, I quickly crouched down and helped the two bicycles on the ground up.
This is the bike we just parked on the side of the road.
Zhang San scratched his head vigorously.
"When we parked our bikes just now, there was no way out?"
As he spoke, Zhang San turned his face away, and was surprised to find that the road we had just walked was gone.
Behind him is a large forest of towering shrubs.
This, what is this all about?
"Okay, don't think about it so much, let's get in the car!" I urged Zhang San to get on the bike.
It's better not to think too much about this situation, but if you think too much.
That's going to go wrong.
Zhang San's eyes were blank, but he finally followed me on the bike.
Asking too many questions doesn't do us any good, and since the bikes are here, we're not far from the upper road village.
After getting on the bicycle together, Zhang San turned his face to look at me from time to time.
"Brother Li, shall we go back the same way?"
There is only one path ahead of us.
If you don't go back the way you came, there's no other way to go.
"Let's go, I want to see if there's anything else in the way!"
Riding my bike, I put the ever-bright lights on the front of the bike.
I used the bell of the bicycle as a gong, and without pressing it, I shouted to the idlers to retreat.
A moment later, the familiar village reappeared in front of our eyes.
I don't know if there are too many weird things along the way.
When we saw the Shanglu Village, Zhang San and I breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
It's just a pity that this village doesn't really reassure us.
Compared to the strange forest, this village is also full of weirdness.
Even I wasn't sure if the people in the village were alive or not.
Speeding up, the two of us rushed into the village.
I thought there was no one in the village late at night.
But when we entered the village, we found that this village is extraordinarily lively.
Almost every house has a person standing at the door.
Everyone looked at us with doubts in their eyes.
It seems strange that we will come back at this time.
Do they know something?
Suddenly, two hands pressed the front of Zhang San and me, and our bikes stopped at the same time.
Hurriedly looked, it turned out to be the old man.
"You, you haven't slept yet?" I forced a smile and looked at the old man.
The old man's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at me suspiciously.
"You guys, why did you come back?"
Just back?
"Is something going on?" I hurriedly asked.
The old man immediately looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, and after a long while, he shook his head and said.
"It's okay, since you're back, let's go back and have a good rest."
With that, the old man made way for us.
This strange old man's manners and words are so strange.
It's like we shouldn't be back.
Zhang San and I didn't think much about it, and got on our bikes and hurried to the place they arranged for us.
When I got to the door, I had the whip in my hand.
Zhang San rushed over quickly and pushed the door open.
"Fatty, how are you two?"
As Zhang San's words fell, the bright blade had already arrived in front of me.
If it had been a little later, my head would have been cut off.
If I'm not mistaken, this is supposed to be a fat man's arsenal shovel, right?
"You two are back!" The fat man hurriedly put his arsenal shovel back.
"What are you doing, you? Nearly killed you for me. "The fat man is even more terrifying than when I was in the woods.
"Brother Li, don't worry, I collected my strength just now, even if I hit it, I won't be able to hurt you."
Although I can't get hurt, I don't understand, what are they trying to attack us?
