Volume 1: The Seven Stars of the Twilight of the World Chapter 37 Sitting in the Well and Watching the Sky
Su Su originally wanted to scold Tianmo, but thinking about it, this old blind man jumped down with his bow and arrow without hesitation because he was worried about breaking his bow, which can be regarded as righteousness.
It's just that the three of them are now trapped at the bottom of the well, and the old fox Jebecuo has stolen their carriage, which makes Su Su, who has always been brave, have no idea.
She had no choice but to sit down silently next to Xiang Bei. Tianmo also wanted to rub over when he heard the movement, but was rushed aside by Su Su with his feet.
"How can I say that I am also an old man, why are you so disrespectful to the elderly!" Tianmo Lao Dao muttered while groping a few steps to the side, but still sat down not far away, gasping for breath in his nose, like an angry old dog.
The surroundings were silent, the three of them sat in this hat well, in fact, they were sitting in a huge cave, in order to save some fuel, Su Su extinguished the torch, and then silently leaned his head on Xiang Bei's shoulder, looking up, there was originally just a bright spot size of the hole, but now it is also quickly dimmed, presumably it has reached the night of the bright moon.
"Xiang Bei, why do you say there is always betrayal in this world?"
Xiang Bei knew that Su Su was still thinking about Jebecuo getting rid of everyone and running away alone, but he didn't seem to particularly mind, "Probably because I'm afraid I'll kill him." ”
In fact, he still hasn't said a word, even if the old fox of Jebecuo shakes off everyone, he will definitely not be able to escape from the desert.
The old blind man Tianmo on the side couldn't hold back and wanted to answer, "Selfishness is human nature, people don't kill for themselves, there may have been selfless creatures in this world, but it must have been extinct a long time ago, and those who can survive must be those ......"
Suddenly, he found that the two people next to him were ignoring his existence at all, and Su Su then asked Xiang Bei,
"Will you betray me, then?"
"Probably not. ”
For some reason, Xiang Bei's words seemed to have no confidence, although Su Su was a little lost, but she also seemed to understand that the big boy in front of her would not lie to women.
However, some men don't seem to know how to cheat girls all their lives, they get it too easily, they don't have the opportunity to learn to cherish it, or they don't cherish it until they lose it. For example, the last garrison that disappeared with Shule City, the captain of Tangshan.
Inside the hat well, it quickly became bitterly cold, but the pain on Xiang Bei's body seemed to be reduced a lot. This time, he didn't fall asleep, but the delicate face on his shoulders was completely covered by exhaustion, Su Su exhaled like an orchid, and quietly fell asleep.
Xiang Bei didn't feel sleepy, and he didn't dare to move his body, he wrapped the fire fox scarf made by Geng Ertuo Aunt Li around his neck around Su Su's shoulder, Su Su thought that he felt the warmth from the fire fox fur in his sleep, and a pleasant smile rose at the corner of his mouth.
Xiang Bei knew that Su Su hadn't slept so heavily for a long time, so he let her lean on his shoulder. Su Su's few strands of green silk hung on Xiang Bei's nose, itchy, and Xiang Bei tried not to touch it.
"Do you think Jebecuo can't leave?" Tianmo Lao Dao on the side waited for Su Su to fall asleep completely, and suddenly asked Xiang Bei.
"Well, though he counted his water, he forgot that there was still the old horse. ”
Tianmo nodded, "But, have you ever thought that in fact, there may be more than one place in this desert to supply water?"
"Thought. ”
"Then you're still so confident that he can't get out?"
"And because of you. ”
"Because of me?"
"Yes, you are good at divination, but you don't worry about him leaving. ”
Xiang Bei's answer was very enjoyable, he stroked a few locks of his goatee in the dark, shook his head proudly, "That is, although the old man does not understand yin and yang, he can be said to be a little familiar with gossip, and he can still see people in divination with one hand." ”
"Old man, if this is the case, why is it that the diviner cannot escape fate? And how can your eyes not see? I don't think you were born blind. ”
In fact, divination is not a prediction, and fate is not a presupposition. Tian Mo's words were amazing, so Xiang Bei couldn't help but ponder this sentence silently, "If divination is not prediction, then what is it?"
Tian Mo suddenly raised his head, as if he could see, staring at the small hole with the eyes of two black holes without pupils, Xiang Bei also followed his gaze, faintly, and saw the stars shining in the sky.
Tianmo rarely became serious, "Every life is trapped in its world, in fact, there seems to be nothing wrong with this, for example, we are in this hole, at least we don't have to worry about those monsters in the sand sea." However, there is always a small window that seems to allow us to vaguely see the world on the other side of the boundary, and how it attracts us. People are willing to risk losing this world to see what exists on that side of the world. What is lost is the life of this world, but what is gained is not necessarily the existence of that world. However, there are always people who can't help but want to see ......"
The world over there is as smart as Xiang Bei, and it was difficult to understand what Tian Mo said for a while, he just wanted to ask, but Tian Mo suddenly put his finger to his mouth, "Shhh, listen!"
"Listen to what?" Xiang Bei was a little curious about Tianmo's tricks.
"It's not that you don't listen, it's just that your heart is uneven. ”
Peace of mind, peace of mind.
Xiang Bei probably understood what the blind old man wanted to express, he simply closed his eyes and slowed down his breathing, the already quiet surroundings seemed to become active, and those darkness seemed to have life and began to slowly surround Xiang Bei.
The slightest chill still soaked into Xiang Bei's body, but at this moment, the biting chill began to soften, as if it was a flowing liquid, flowing slowly in his veins.
Tick, tick, Xiang Bei heard the vicissitudes of the years. He slowly opened his eyes, and it turned out that it was not just the vicissitudes of life, but that there were really water droplets condensed and formed on the stone wall above his head, gradually rounded, and finally jumped down from the edge of the stone wall because of the strength of the attachment, and fell into the small puddle on the ground, making a ticking sound.
The air of the sea of sand is as dry as firewood, but there will always be a trace of moisture, blown by the gusts of wind in the distance, this trace of moisture can not stop in the daytime sun, but it will be trapped in the hole by this hat well, and at night, the temperature plummets, and the slightest trace of moisture is completely squeezed out of the air, turning into a drop of crystal clear water droplets, gathering into this small puddle on the ground.
Tick, tick, the sound was like footsteps, slowly walking towards Xiangbei in the dark. In such footsteps, Xiang Bei also began to feel drowsy, and his eyelids became heavy.
Tick-tock, tick-tock, such footsteps are getting closer.
No, Xiang Bei suddenly woke up, the footsteps were really quietly approaching him, and he began to be vigilant, where did the footsteps come from.
Tick, tick, Xiang Bei listened carefully to the movement, but he couldn't hear anything abnormal, it was still in the puddle, the water droplets splashed and ticked, not far or near, not long or short, boring and accurate.
In the shadow of the rock wall in the distance, a pair of deep eyes were staring at the three people who had fallen into the hole, their eyes were full of greed and satisfaction, as if they had tasted fresh flesh and blood, and couldn't help but lick their tongues.
Its steps stopped suddenly, because it also felt the vigilance of one of its prey, such prey is not something that can be encountered very often, and it must make sure that no prey is missing.
Since the prey was looking around, it simply remained motionless, like a strangely shaped stone.
It has patience, and it also has enough advantages to ensure that all prey cannot escape, and at this moment, the pair of golden pupils, with the help of the faint starlight that came in from the hole, can clearly see the every move of the three people. On the other hand, the three of them, even if they didn't have blind Xiang Bei and Su Su, they couldn't see its existence in such a dark space.
Finally, after the alert young man looked around, he didn't seem to find anything, so he simply closed his eyes and recuperated again, and the owner of the golden pupils finally waited for this moment and could continue to move forward.
100 zhang, 50 zhang, 30 zhang......
In the boundless darkness, the outline of the black shadow gradually appeared, and the huge fleshy palm landed steadily on the wet ground, making a click, click, click. The silhouette finally turned into a real black shadow, a monster shaped like a tiger.
The monster's face was like a dog's face, but its mouth was grinning in a huge arc, revealing the terrible jagged teeth inside. Staring at the three prey, it was obvious that this was a big meal it had been looking forward to for a long time, and a trace of saliva couldn't stop flowing from the corners of the mouth that bared out its teeth.
It stopped in the last invisible shadow ten zhang away from Xiang Bei, and the muscles in its body began to tense, this time the accumulation of strength was about to make it jump up from the hiding place and pounce directly on the still awake teenager.
As long as the most alert prey is pounced, the other two, no one can run.
At this moment, Xiang Bei was already alert again, although he couldn't see what was hidden in the dark shadow, he heard the footsteps close to him and was still quietly approaching.
This time, he made sure that the footsteps were not droplets, not hallucinations, but something that was really approaching the place where the three of them were.
Xiang Bei shook his shoulders, woke up Su Su, who was still sleeping, and took out a small stone, which Qingqing threw on Tianmo's body, this thing must have been dreaming just now, and the saliva at the corner of his mouth was no less than the saliva of the monster.
"Susu, Tianmo, there is an attack, be careful. ”
Before the words fell, a huge figure completely walked out in the dark, Su Su and Tianmo were both startled, and Su Su subconsciously touched the sunset bow brought down by Tianmo.
She couldn't help but anxiously ask Tianmo, "Where is my quiver?"
Tianmo patted his head, "Oops, quiver, it seems that the quiver box has not been taken down." ”
Su Su couldn't wait to find an arrow and pierce Tianmo first, this thing can be so stupid.
However, the most terrifying thing was not only these, the most terrifying thing was that the dark beast stood up with a cry. Its strong hind limbs are the same as an adult's two thighs, except that it stands up to the height of two adults.
