Chapter 40: The Lights in the Woods

Gao Ming spread out his limbs and collapsed on the bank of the river, facing the sky on his back.

I was so tired that I felt a deep exhaustion in all my limbs.

Finally escaped from prison and saw the light of day again.

Gao Ming's heart was relieved, and the breath he was holding was gone. The hidden tiredness surged out all of a sudden, and Gao Ming felt that he didn't even have the strength to raise his hand.

I don't want to move anymore.

Gao Ming was quietly bathed in the moonlight, and wanted to sleep like this.

Gao Ming emptied his body and mind and closed his eyes.

Just then, a night breeze blew.

"Hiss~cluck~" Gao Ming was excited, and his teeth froze up and down.

Gao Ming opened his eyes and got up and sat up, instinctively wrapping his clothes, not wanting his clothes to be wet and cold.

Gao Ming looked left and right, and there was no one around, not even a bird.

Gao Ming took off all his clothes and wrung them out.

There was nothing to make a fire on his body, so he had to wear it right now. Looking up at the long river and the silver moonlight in the distance, Gao Ming dragged his lead-filled steps along the river.

Along the way, the river seemed to come from nine heavens away, and the woods seemed to be endless. After walking for so long, I didn't even see a place at night.

Suddenly, Gao Ming's eyes lit up, and there seemed to be a flash of light just now.

Gao Ming hurriedly took two steps back to find his original angle.

Looking from afar, there are indeed lights, standing proudly in the darkness.

The lamp, surrounded by endless darkness, stood proudly, very strong. You can feel the warmth from afar.

It's just that the light is deep in the woods. The forest was so dark that I couldn't see the distance at all.

Along the way, Gao Ming has discovered that the scale of this forest is even larger than he imagined, and he doesn't know how wide and deep it is.

In the darkness of the woods, I don't know what kind of danger is hidden.

The breeze blew, and the forest whistled and whined, like a ghost crying wolf, terrifying. At the edge of the forest, the green leaves swagger in the moonlight, like tempting poppies, which makes people feel scared.

The breeze grabbed Gao Ming's clothes, Gao Ming shivered again, gritted his teeth, and drilled into the woods.

Gao Ming plucked up his courage, didn't think about anything, and went straight into the depths of the forest.

After only a few steps into the forest, Gao Ming began to regret it.

Outside the forest, there was moonlight, but inside the forest it was completely dark. After only a few steps away, there was already a feeling that I couldn't see my fingers.

Gao Ming was too timid to take a step, but he stubbornly didn't want to go back.

Gao Ming cautiously poked his feet out, but his heart was panicked and dazed.

Not to mention encountering some beasts, even a fall is not comfortable.

Gao Ming stayed where he was, not daring to move forward.

Right now, what he misses the most is his phone. In the past, with a mobile phone, there was no need to prepare a flashlight, and it was extremely convenient to travel the world with a mobile phone.

However, since Tang Sui left, he has never used his mobile phone much. On the one hand, I am very interested in cultivating by myself, and on the other hand, there is nothing to use on my mobile phone without a signal.

It's just that right now, deep in this dark forest, I miss the feeling of taking out my mobile phone from my pocket and turning on the flashlight.

Perhaps, with a hint of luck in prayer, or maybe it was habit, Gao Ming tried to call out: "Indis, can you shine a light?"

Indis was silent.

There was no response to the wake-up command of "Indis", nor was there any guidance on how to operate it. It seems that Indis did not expect that, as a database, it would be requested by its owner.

Just when Gao Ming was full of despair, a glittering light shot out from the unpretentious and inconspicuous bracelet.

The light was not big, but it was enough to make Gao Ming overjoyed.

"Indis, you're awesome!"

Gao Ming raised his wrist to illuminate the vague path ahead, and groped forward with a deep foot and a shallow foot.

Suddenly, I only heard a "click", and Gao Ming exclaimed: "I'll go, scare Lao Tzu!"

It turned out that Shicai didn't see clearly, stepped into a shallow pit, and stepped on a branch.

Gao Ming patted his chest, and walked forward more and more cautiously, while talking to the bracelet in his mouth: "Indis, let's talk." ”

Indis replied stiffly: "There is no such function, please output a valid command." ”

"Huh, you can't talk? No, you can just say a few words. ”

"The command cannot be understood, please output a valid command. ”

"Don't understand, it's okay, let's talk slowly......"

Obviously, Indis is not a heart, just a database, and cannot take on the "big responsibility" of chatting.

But it doesn't matter, Gao Ming doesn't mind, he just wants Indis to speak out and talk to him, as if this will bring him some courage.

Gao Ming found a suitable stick and tapped it at his feet. He pushed through one low leaf after another, and slowly and with difficulty, he made his way forward.

Right now, what worries him most is that he encounters a beast foraging in the dark. With such a big forest, there may be some kind of beast that lives here. Once encountered, in the dark forest, he would have no chance of winning.

Fortunately, however, along the way, there was not the slightest sign of the beast's activity, nor did it encounter the slightest danger.

Everywhere he went, he had to look for an angle, either at the lights in the distance, or at the starry sky above his head to make sure that the direction under his feet was correct.

In this way, step by step, at last, he saw that the light seemed to be not far ahead.

Gao Ming's heart was encouraged, and a new strength seemed to burst out from his body, so he quickened the pace of his feet and hurried forward.

Suddenly, Gao Ming's feet seemed to have tripped over a piece of rotten wood, causing Gao Ming to stumble under his feet and almost fall.

Gao Ming instinctively used the light on his wrist to look back, glanced at it, and was so frightened that he almost screamed.

I saw what was lying on the ground, where was the rotten wood, it was simply a "rotten man"!

This is a male corpse, really like a rotten wood, life is exhausted, and the body is withered. As if drained of flesh by an unknown force, the skin was crumpled, and there was nothing under the skin except bones.

This withered "rotten man" made Gao Ming stumble, and he was suddenly kicked out of a big gap. There was no blood flowing out of the gap, but it was really like rotten wood, shattered and shattered.

Gao Ming covered his mouth tightly, trying his best not to scream. Gao Ming knew that if there was really danger nearby, shouting loudly would only lead to faster death.

It took a long time for Gao Ming's heartbeat to slow down.

Gao Ming suppressed the fear in his heart and looked around, and the dark forest was even more eerie and terrifying.

Occasionally, the wind passes through, and the night breeze caresses the body even more cold, and the wind whimper is even more terrifying.

Gao Ming looked at the road, and the thick darkness had already covered the road. Gao Ming turned his head to look at the original light, which was silent and persistent, and never wavered from beginning to end.

Gao Ming bit it, got up, put all fear behind him, and continued to walk towards the light.

He leaned on his stick, groping his way forward more and more carefully.

Step by step, I emptied all the thoughts in my mind, and only silently recited one obsession over and over again, that is, to find that light.

In this way, I hurried away, and I don't know how when, I finally arrived at my destination.

Now, that light is right in front of you.

It is a simple and functional wooden house, with a small front yard fenced off in front of the house.

Gao Ming was on the side of the room at this time, and the moon had already slipped through the sky and fell diagonally to the west. It stands to reason that at this time, ordinary people have already turned off the lights and fallen asleep, but the lights are still on in the house, and the lights are bright, which is better than ordinary people.

But fortunately, Gao Ming was able to follow the light all the way.

Gao Ming stopped, and many thoughts in his mind came back again, and with it, endless fear enveloped his body again.

Gao Ming was timid in his heart, looking at this unknown light, not knowing whether to advance or retreat.

The thoughts in his head turned and turned, and in the end, Gao Ming gritted his teeth and walked forward.

Just roll a handful of dice and leave it to fate. It's all here, whether it's a blessing or a curse, I can't hide it.
