Volume 5 The Return of the King 161 A boring night
I remember someone who said that if you follow the river, you will find the sea.
If you use the saying of raising the bar, you may not be able to find the sea if you walk along the river, and maybe the river will disappear halfway.
But I don't think I'm going to respond to the stupid words of raising the bar, because I'm not going downstream, I'm going upstream.
I still remember when I was saved by someone along the river, but now I can't go downstream, the river is flowing south, and the south is the direction I came from.
The river is not very wide, no more than 20 meters by sight, and it would not be an exaggeration to call it a stream if it flows down from the mountains. With water, my horse finally doesn't have to live on grass alone. It drank water by the river, and I made a fire.
Maybe it's because I'm disappointed too much, but once I feel something else, even a little change makes me happy for a while, and now it is. I felt that I would find a place along the river where there were people, this was not Alterac, and I would be able to get out as long as I saw traces of man.
After resting the horses for the night, I led them and they carried me up the river.
Either I was right, and as I expected, I found a hunter's hut in less than a day along the river. Because it was getting dark, I saw that there was no movement near the house in the distance, no one came in or out, and there was no fire, the hut was very low, and it was not very well hidden, anyway, if you don't look carefully, it is easy to ignore the past.
I looked at the horse, but finally chose to lead it too, and a few meters away from the house I tethered the horse to a small sapling. Drawing my sword, I walked towards the little house, where the sunlight had been blocked by the lush trees, and darkness had enveloped the place.
The open space in front of the house was not large, and the fishing nets on the shelves were still there, and there seemed to be some fish hanging on the shelves, even the pants were confiscated.
Finally saw the living.
There was no light in the house, no fire, and I walked softly to the door, which was closed, but I felt how the door gave me a sense of foreboding.
I raised my sword against the door and gently pushed it in, but I didn't push it!
What's in the way behind the door!
This little wooden house is windowless, and I guess the people inside can see me through some gaps. After another look at the house, I whispered, "Anyone?" ”
I pricked up my ears to listen, but there was no movement.
"I won't hurt you." I say. "If you can understand me, give me a response."
Still nothing happens.
"I promise I won't hurt you." I repeated.
When I was sure that no one was responding, I stepped on the door, and with all my strength I found that there was indeed something at the door, and I felt that the guy should not be fat by pushing the door. I kicked the door with all my might, and it fell off the frame, and the door flew away, and the guy behind the door.
It was dark inside, and there was a smell of mold and decay. I subconsciously covered my mouth and nose, and the things in the room moved...... Sure enough, there are people.
"I'm sorry." I said, "It's you who don't speak." ”
I'm waiting for him to get up on his own, because the smell inside the house is really bad.
But when the thing crawled out from under the door, I could see it...... It turned out to be a dead man. There was a quiet corpse in the room.
I took a step back, and the thing crawled out of the doorway and came towards me, and he staggered up from the ground and hobbled towards me, I couldn't make out its face, but it was rotten and nothing left. And according to the taste, if you die here, it is estimated that you will have been dead for more than a year.
I raised my sword to its front door, and plunged it in. The blade poked through its hollow nose. But it's a pity...... I didn't poke through, and the guy was stumbled by me. Seeing that I couldn't pierce the skeleton's head with a sword like in the story, I could only raise my sword and slash at its heavenly spirit cover.
The sword smashed its skull, no flesh blurred, no blood flew everywhere, and its brain seemed to shrunk. But for some reason, it stopped immediately after smashing the skull.
Looking at the corpse lying on the ground, I muttered, "I really didn't want to hurt you." ”
After cutting him down, I realized that he was in the way of this place, and he was blocking the doorway, but I really didn't want to touch him, so I stood in the door and looked inside, and I didn't see anything in it except for the bad smell. To be honest, I don't want to spend the night here, it's not just that it stinks and it doesn't feel good.
But it seems better not to wander around now, for tomorrow at dawn I will have to follow the clues that this man may have left behind. When I thought of this, I thought I was finally going out, but suddenly I frowned again, this guy has been dead for a year, can there still be traces of his way out to the outside world?
I couldn't care so much, so I led the horse and found a clean place to stay temporarily, and after this night, it should be easy to do tomorrow.
This kind of waiting is very tiring, I can't sleep, now if I can fall asleep is really a good thing, time will pass quickly, but I don't need to sleep since I died. I could only stare at the sky with my eyes open and listen to the quiet sound of the river.
It would be a good thing if two water ghosts came out of the river to relieve my boredom, I thought so. But the sound of the river made me feel that the night was quieter.
People who have not experienced this kind of waiting will not know this feeling, and I sit until dawn, when I see that the color of the sky has changed, the sky is no longer all black, but from pitch black to deep blue, and then slowly there is a little white light, and the red glow will gradually spread, and the surroundings will change from complete darkness to darkness, at least I can see something.
The day is starting to dawn.
I couldn't wait to get up and go to the hut, but it was still very dark when I looked back. I don't know what happened, but I suddenly remembered the night I was at the East Valley Lumber Yard, and I still don't know who did it to me.
Edwin was tight-lipped about it, and although he didn't seem to know, I think he was pretending.
The dim light allowed me to see the bushes, the houses, the dark but faintly visible sight, and when I saw it, I always felt that there would be a ghost, a pale, cloaked, glowing green or white light slowly peeking out of the bushes in the house.
That face can be pale, it can be sallow, it can be bloodstained, it can be hideous, it can be eyeballs falling out, anyway, it just comes out of it with compassion, and then walks slowly towards me, floating in, but it seems to be more terrifying.
I was looking forward to it.
But after all, there was no female ghost, I led the horse and walked over again, the body in front of the door was still lying on the ground as last night, I'm sorry I can't help you get into the ground, that's actually okay, but it may take many years to get exactly as it is, but now I'm too lazy to help you.
Bypassing the corpse, I stood at the door again, tilted my head and looked inside, it was still dark, I didn't look at it this way, but there was no firewood or anything like that, I could only frown and poke my head in, although the smell of opening the door for a night, but the smell inside was still quite rushing.
I covered my nose and flashed into the house, there was no one alive in it, there was still a dead body, it didn't look like it was the living dead. The dead body was lying face up on the bed, and I looked around the room and walked over to the body on the bed, which was not very large, and the bed took up a third of the room.
It wasn't very bright outside, and it was even darker inside, so I poked the body with my sword, and it looked like it was dead. At this moment, the skeleton of a child next to the corpse appeared in front of me. The one who is on the bed should be the child's mother.,It's the child's father who died outside.,Anyway, the guy's torn clothes feel like a man.。
A family dies in such a place......
Tsk, I guess I took refuge here. Thinking of this, I pursed my lips and pushed the remains of the bed into the bed, then walked out the door and dragged the bones back, laying them squarely on the bed. I've smashed a big hole in his head and I haven't given it to him to recover, but the family is now in order again.
It's a little smelly, and I'll have to wash it up later, but I think it's kind of meaningful.
I pulled the door back and I was ready to leave the place, and looked around the house, although it was overgrown with weeds, there were still faint traces of his way out of here. It is right to wait until dawn to find it.
But unfortunately, this road did not go far before it became fading away until it disappeared. After looking up and looking around again, I have to hand it over to Lucky. But this time luck did strike, and I saw the destroyed village, which did not contain a single living dead, but there were many corpses with their heads cut off.
I thought that there must be one or two literate families in the village, and I could get some information from their homes, but when I saw that none of the houses in the whole village had a roof, I gave up.
But I can still tell the direction anyway, so I can tell the direction and walk along the road. It's a stupid way, but it's also the most effective. But when I reached the next human ruin, I was stunned by what the town was looking at.
This place is haunted!
Really haunted!
I know this town, and the name of the town is engraved on the stone tablet at the entrance of the town. If I remember correctly, this is a town that Arthas and his army destroyed in person, and the scene in the town is no better than other places, of course, it is overgrown with weeds, and the grass is all dead.
Nothing is alive here.
Really, that's absolutely it, nothing is alive here, and I don't even think there can be rats living in this kind of place.
When I walked into the town, there was a dead silence, and the sound of horses' hooves when there was no wind made me feel very harsh. Perhaps it was the sound of horses' hooves that disturbed the peace of the souls, and when the figure appeared in the ruins of the houses on the side of the road, I thought I was mistaken, but when I looked closely, I was shocked.
I hate being watched, whether it's alive or dead, and I don't like the kind of ghost I have now. But it feels really weird at this point. I suddenly couldn't remember how I faced the ghosts, and did I have to have some blood to destroy them?
And that's not the most frightening, as more and more ghosts appear in the ruins, the horse under my crotch is visibly uneasy. It's a big town, I see. It seems impossible to get around here, and it's even more impossible to rush through here.
But I couldn't sit still, I pulled out the musket at my waist, and the musket was the first choice when facing many enemies!
But when I drew my muskets, they did not move, and suddenly I heard a whisper in my ear, which startled me. It was so close that it was almost close to my ear, but I didn't notice it. I turned my head sharply and found that a long hair was blown up and scattered in the air, like a turkey on the screen, and the miserable white face was less than a meter away from me. Her features were completely exposed to my eyes.
So close!
My hand shook clearly, and when I raised the musket, she plunged headlong, and I pulled the trigger decisively, and I could see the flames of the bullet as it left the chamber, but the ghost plunged headlong into my arms and passed through me.
I was stunned, and when I turned my head to look at the thing, the thing's face was clearly full of surprise.
When it suddenly started screaming, I just raised my gun.
