Wu Family Sword Spirit

Chapter 10 The feeling of being watched
In this old forest near Langtougou, while I was searching for traces of Zhuzi and Xiaoxu, I was still thinking about the tragedy of Zhang Laosan's family, when suddenly a hand was placed on my shoulder. , I was so frightened that I almost screamed. I looked back with frightened eyes, only to see it was Zhiqiang, a bastard, who said angrily: "Why are you filming me when you have nothing to do? This place is leaking." People were shouting, it scared me to death..."

"Brother Xiaojiu, aren't you very courageous? There is nothing to be afraid of in this forest. We have been here when we were children." Zhiqiang said with some resentment.

"Stop talking nonsense, why are you filming me?" I quickly changed the topic to cover up my gaffe. I don't know what happened to me today. The closer I get to Langtou Valley, the more intense the feeling of fear in my heart becomes. Not only Some are suspicious and some are nervous.

"Brother Xiaojiu, look, there are footprints there, belonging to Zhu Zhu and Xiao Xu. I just wanted to remind you that if we follow their footprints and look for them, we will definitely find them."

I looked along Zhiqiang's flashlight, and I really saw the crooked footprints of the two people, extending towards the direction of Langtougou.

At that moment, the two of us continued to follow their footsteps. After walking for half an hour, we left the forest and officially entered the scope of Langtou Valley.

I have never been here before, and I thought it was such a scary place, but when I stood here down-to-earth, I felt that there was nothing to be afraid of. It was just a wasteland, but the wasteland was overgrown with weeds. There are countless raised little earth bags, and there must be dead bones buried under each of them.

Zhiqiang and I stood here side by side. Zhiqiang used his flashlight to scan the graves. These raised graves were all covered with snow and connected together, giving people the feeling that they could not be seen to the end at a glance. .There are some sparse trees in the distance, like isolated islands in the desert.
I don't know when, the snow fell harder, and it seemed that the wind was a lot stronger, and the wind rolled up a large snowflake and blew it on the face, which hurt like a knife.

When we got here, we could no longer see the footprints of Zhuzi and Xiaoxu. I don't know if they were buried by the heavy snow, or if they didn't come here at all.

Zhiqiang and I shouted the names of Zhuzi and Xiaoxu at the top of our lungs. Our voices echoed in the quiet and eerie Langtou Valley, but there was no response.

Zhiqiang proposed to go further into the depths of the Langtou ditch. Maybe they are here, but they have gone a little farther.

Tonight, no matter what, we must find these two bastards, even if we search the entire Langtou ditch, we must find them. If these two drunken guys stay here all night, they will definitely be beaten tomorrow. freeze to death.

The two of us walked in the snow of Langtougou, one foot deep and one foot shallow, still calling their names non-stop. The more we shouted, the less confident we felt. Everything today seemed very strange. I always felt that Something must happen.

Unconsciously, we wandered around Langtougou for more than half an hour, but still found nothing.

At this moment, Zhiqiang and I came to a small forest in Langtougou. It was said to be a small forest, but it was actually surrounded by an overgrown wasteland. There were a few strange-shaped trees growing sparsely, which happened to be where Zhiqiang and I were standing. This place is surrounded by the middle.

Where we are standing, there are several barren graves covered with weeds. When Zhiqiang used his flashlight to shine a light just now, I seemed to see something similar to dead bones. I heard the old people at home say, There used to be a lot of wild dogs wandering around Langtou Valley, especially when the Beihai people came. Whether they were freezing to death, starving to death, or fleeing, as long as people died, they would all be left in Langtou Valley.At that time, the dead were generally not buried too deep, so they dug a shallow layer of soil, without even a broken straw mat, and threw them directly into the dug hole to fill with soil.

As soon as the person burying the person walked away, many wild dogs dug up the top layer of soil, pulled the person out, disemboweled him, and feasted on him.

The favorite food of these man-eating wild dogs is the internal organs of the dead. They will open the belly with their sharp teeth and tear out the heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys. Even some people who were not completely dead were bitten to death by these wild dogs.

If a wild dog eats a dead person, its eyes will turn red and its teeth will contain corpse poison. If bitten by a wild dog that has eaten a dead person, most people will go crazy and become like a mad dog, biting people everywhere. There is no cure. The person who was bitten by the dog in the end will soon suffer from the onset of corpse poison. The whole body will be covered with scabies, pus will bleed, and the whole body will fester and die. The death is horrible.

I heard from the elderly at home that a few decades ago, there was a huge dog-beating campaign. Whether they were domestic dogs or wild dogs, they would all be beaten to death, just because they were afraid of such dogs that had eaten dead people. When a dog bites a living person, medicine at that time was not as advanced as it is now. People are more frightened by dogs than wolves, so they would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go.

Thinking about it this way, it’s not unusual at all to have human bones in Langtou Valley. This is why the adults at home don’t let us come here. This place is really scary. When I think of all the legends about Langtou Valley, there are only two of us here. When I was alone, I was even more terrified.

wrong!

This time it was not only fear, but also another unspeakable feeling. I savored it for a long time before I remembered what it felt like. It was a feeling of being watched by eyes, but not just a pair of eyes. Eye.

This kind of peeping is malicious and full of hostility. It hides in a dark corner and sneaks towards me.

I suddenly stopped and wanted to talk to Zhiqiang beside me. It was so quiet along the way. This kind of quietness made me panic.

But when I turned my head, I discovered something incredible. Zhiqiang was not by my side. Where had he gone?

Since I came to Langtougou, I have been absent-minded, thinking about other things. I don’t even know when Zhiqiang disappeared from my side. I turned around and looked around, trying to find Zhiqiang. It doesn’t matter if I look at it, my soul will fly away when I look at it.

I saw several pairs of green eyes, secretly looking towards me from behind the grass and big trees. I wondered why I felt like I was being spied on, but it turned out that there were eyes that had been staring at me.
