Funny: The Hilarious Life of a Wasted Taoist 1

Chapter 33 The fog (1)
"The weather was very sunny that morning." The man said, "If you speed up your journey, you can reach the next village in the evening. But who knew that at noon, the sky suddenly changed, with lightning and thunder, and the raindrops fell like beads. In an instant, we were completely drenched. The rain looked like a thunderstorm, but it didn't stop. It was getting bigger and bigger, and finally it was like pouring. Here is a deserted flat land, and there is no place to shelter from the rain. We can only run forward in the rain, hoping to quickly run to the next village to find a place to shelter from the rain."

"After more than 100 years, until now, I still remember the situation that day. It was daytime, but it was so dark that we couldn't see our fingers. We were so rained that we couldn't open our eyes. It was the first time I encountered this kind of situation, and they were all scared to death. My brother's legs went limp at that time, and he collapsed in the mud, muttering, "Brother, these foreigners used magic to take our lives, right?" "

I said, "You guys have too much imagination! The foreign devils hadn't learned how to artificially rain at that time."

"Of course you know a lot now." The man blushed anxiously, and said, "Who knew this in our time? When my younger brother said this, he scared the other two selected people, and one of them panicked. Confused, he got up and ran away, shouting 'I don't want to die! I don't want to die!', when he ran under a tree, suddenly a lightning struck from above, and the tree was instantly split into pieces. In two halves, the man fell down without even uttering a scream. The few of us were dumbfounded, and my brother trembled with fright. I yelled, "Run if you don't want to die!" and then helped my brother up. Continue to run forward. The rest of the people saw us running, and followed in a panic. In fact, I didn't know where I could run at the time, but I felt that the thunder was chasing us in fear. If I didn't run quickly, will be struck by lightning.”

"I didn't know how long I ran with my head depressed like this. Suddenly, someone next to me shouted, 'There is a house in front!' After hearing this, I hurriedly looked forward. I didn't see it clearly for the first time. I wiped my face a few times before I could vaguely see it. Sure enough, there was a faint house ahead. Misterma, you don’t understand our feelings when we saw the house, I was trembling with excitement, and almost ran into that place as if I was running for my life.” The man sighed.

I looked back at my small second floor and asked, "This is it?"

"That's right, it's here. It wasn't as depressed as it is now. It looked very grand, with a vermilion gate and two stone lions standing at the gate, but the strange thing is that the stone lions were not facing the outside, but facing the outside. Open the door." The man head said, "We went up and knocked on the door, and the door opened. We didn't expect the door to be opened so easily. There was no wax inside, and it was so dark that we couldn't see anything. , we thought that we might be kicked out by the owner if we went in directly, so we shouted again, "Is there anyone inside?" Who knew that no one answered for a long time, so I asked again, "Is the owner at home?" Then we all pricked up our ears to listen. There was still no sound in the room, but there was another thunder outside, which made our hearts tremble, and we remembered what happened to the person who was struck to death by lightning, so we ran into the house immediately without regard to etiquette."

"When we entered the house, we all breathed a sigh of relief." The man sighed, "But then I realized that we went from one hell to another, because the few of us who entered this house , and no one came out alive."

"Wait a minute," I asked, "how many of you are there?"

"Originally there were three selected students, two accompanying soldiers, and me, a total of six people. Then one student died, and there were only five."

I asked, "Since you don't want to go, and people are much worse than soldiers, why don't you run away?"

"We can escape with all our strength, but what about the parents who stayed in their hometown after we escaped? They also saw us, so they didn't send more people to watch us." The man sighed and continued, "Then When we came in, our eyes gradually adapted to the darkness, and we could vaguely see some tables on the first floor, and two soldiers asked loudly, "Is there anyone?" Then we walked upstairs while asking. I was so tired, I finally found a place, and I was relieved, so I rested aside."

"My younger brother was only 15 years old at the time, and another student was a year younger than him. He was just a kid. Ever since he saw his companion was struck to death by lightning, he has been shaking with fear. Although my younger brother is still young , but he was more mature than the average child, so I comforted him aside. I took off the clothes and wrung the water on them. People wore more clothes at that time than now. One piece, all the water dripped onto the ground. Although there was still lightning and thunder outside, everyone was much calmer at this time. After a while, I heard the creaking sound from the stairs, and I looked up. , two soldiers came down from upstairs."

"I quickly asked: 'How is it? Is anyone there?'

A soldier replied: "It's strange, the beds in the upper room are well made, but there is no one there." '

When I heard what they said, my heart suddenly became inexplicably terrified, and I felt that something was wrong, but I didn't expect that something was wrong.

Another soldier said: "I think it should be an inn, maybe the owner is out on business." '

At this time, my brother suddenly asked: "How can there be no one in such a big inn?" '

It was only then that I realized what was wrong. I put the clothes on the table when I twisted them, and when I picked them up again, there was a mark. The mark was not a water mark, but a mud mark, which means that no one has lived here for a long time. Yes, there is a layer of ash on the table.

In the wilderness, there is such a nice house with all the furniture, but no one lives in it.

The more I thought about it, the more hairy I was. I was thinking about those ghost stories in my hometown. It was probably about getting lost and walking into a deserted house, sleeping all night and getting up, only to find that there was no house there, but a cemetery. "

"So I asked the two soldiers: 'We wait for the rain to stop, can we go to the village in front of us to spend the night?' The soldier said: 'That depends on when the rain stops. It’s over, there are more rooms up there, let’s spend the night here.” After finishing speaking, the two soldiers went up on their own. Seeing this situation, I must stay here today, so I turned around and called My brother went upstairs together. My brother was comforting the student when he heard me call him, and he and the student raised their heads to look at me. At that moment, a lightning strike happened outside, lighting up the whole room.

Then I saw my brother and that student staring at me with wide eyes, as if they were frightened by something. Behind me is a wall.

The student pointed behind me and murmured, 'Blood...blood...'

what did I say? '

My brother said: 'Brother, there seems to be a word written in blood on the wall behind you. '

When I heard he said writing with blood, I was also shocked and asked: "What is the word?" '

My brother said: 'I vaguely see three horizontal lines...it seems to be a three. '"

He finally got on the right track when he said this, and I also focused on listening. At this time, Reddy ran over, biting a lollipop in his mouth, and asked me: "What are you doing?"

Wang Liang and I were nervous when we heard this, but no one paid any attention to him.Telling a story is the most important thing about creating an atmosphere. An unclear explanation like this will hurt the atmosphere. The man glanced at Reddy Gaga, ignored him, and continued: "I was also surprised when I heard this. It is not uncommon to write three characters on the wall, but what is more unusual is to write them in blood. During thunderstorms, there is a small second floor in a deserted place with a three characters written on it, which makes people wonder if there is any meaning in it. This , obviously not just me, the other two people also thought of it, the student asked: 'What does this three mean? Does it mean that three people died in this room?'”

My younger brother didn't even speak. I said, "It's so dark, how can you see that it's blood? Maybe you misread it." '

'No, that's blood! ’ The student asked again: ‘Or, or that three of us are going to die? '

I shuddered, and my younger brother scolded: 'What nonsense!Thank you for reading the books of sages and sages for so many years, why do you still say these strange words. After finishing speaking, he went up the stairs angrily. "The man sighed, "My younger brother is the youngest in the family, and he is very talented, so we have let him in since he was a child. This time he went out with the mentality of dying. He was tired and scared today, and he was still patiently comforting others just now." , Now being so frightened again, I immediately quit.Seeing him go upstairs, I quickly followed, and the student also followed closely.

The layout of the house at that time was very different from what it is now, and it looked like a real inn.There were just three or four rooms above, and the soldiers had already picked the best one to live in, and we also found a slightly larger one to sleep in. "

"It turned out to be telling a story." Hearing this, Reddy squatted down while licking the lollipop, clapping his hands and laughing, "It's good to tell a story, I love listening to stories the most."

"That room happened to have two beds. Originally, my brother and I were just right for each other, but the student didn't dare to sleep alone. He wanted to sleep with us, so I squeezed a room with my brother. I was tired all day. I was frightened and was about to go to bed early when suddenly my brother touched me with his arm and stuffed me with a small red bag.

I asked: 'What is this? My younger brother said: "I forgot to give you the amulet my mother begged for us before we went on the road. You should put it away and put it on your body. Don't lose it." '

I put the talisman away, then fell asleep, woke up after a nap, looked out the window, it was still dark, and I could hear the sound of raindrops hitting the ground, so I fell asleep again, so several times, no I don't know how long I slept, but in the end I had enough sleep, but the outside still hasn't changed, it's still dark with the sound of rain.I said to myself, "How long has it been raining?"Why haven't you stopped yet? ’ My brother said behind him: ‘So you woke up too?I can't sleep anymore, has it been raining for a day? '

At this time, the male student who was lying down also got up. We went out to see that the two soldiers had already sat downstairs. They found some wine somewhere and were chatting while drinking. It seemed that we No one can fall asleep anymore. I think we have been exhausted from the journey that day, and we all slept until we couldn’t fall asleep. You can see how long we have slept, but the rain outside still does not stop, and the sky is also dark and unchanged.

On the table was a candle that the soldiers found. When my younger brother saw the candle, he shouted: 'Wall! As soon as he said this, he reminded us. The student and I hurried downstairs to look at the wall yesterday, only to see that it was painted twice with a dark liquid, which really looked like blood.

The two officials said: "What's the matter, I don't know who wiped the two spots, what's so good about it." '

I also said: 'Look at what you're making a fuss about, I'll say you've got it wrong. '

My brother said: 'No, what we saw yesterday was indeed Three Dao. ' After finishing speaking, he turned around and asked the student: 'Right? ’ The student nodded and said: ‘I remember...it seems to be three...'

My brother went up to look at those two again, and suddenly turned around and asked us: "Look, does this look like a two?" '. "

"Like two?" Reddy Gaga was listless at first, but when he heard this, he happily shook the lollipop in his hand and said, "Like, like, I'm the most like him, he's definitely not like me."

"Okay, okay, I know." I said, "Is there no one better than you?"

Reddy Gaga is still thinking about playing the "two" in "Genghis Khan II", trying to figure out how to be more two, hearing this, thinking I'm praising him, and laughing happily.

The man's head continued: "Even though my younger brother said this, I didn't have any special thoughts at the time. I believed in my heart that they misunderstood yesterday, not to mention that now that I have enough energy, I am not as afraid as before. I just want to wait for the rain." After a pause, we left, so we found a table and sat down with my brother to chat. In the middle, we talked about our parents at home, and then we talked about Guan Wu’s going out this time. His life and death are uncertain, and we don’t know when he will come back. My brother said to me: 'Brother, I don't want to leave, I don't want to die.' I am a big man, and my eye circles were red at that time."

When I heard the man's head say this, my eye circles were also red. I would be so happy to let me go abroad to study at public expense, and this family still hates it.

The man said: "It's ridiculous to say this now. It's such a wonderful thing to study abroad, but we didn't know it at the time."

"We kept talking there, eat some dry food when we are hungry, and at the end our mouth was dry. I don't know how long it took, but the rain continued as before, and we finally went back to sleep. I felt it, and then I went down to look, and it was still dark and raining outside.

Now people like us can see that something is wrong. Even if it is a normal rainstorm, the sky should have a change. It cannot always be the same color, and it stands to reason that after such a heavy rain for so long, the outside should have been flooded. Come in, but when we went to the door to see, there was no water coming in from the ground.

'what happened? Seeing this, the two soldiers became anxious, and opened the door to go out, but as soon as they opened the door, a gust of wind with raindrops blew in. One soldier was blown back a few steps by the wind, while the other held on to move forward. Let's go, just as he walked out the door, he heard the roar of thunder, and then a huge thunder hit the ground and almost hit his feet. The soldier was so scared that he immediately retreated.

Seeing this scene, we were all shocked, it was as if someone was deliberately preventing us from going out.

At this moment, someone screamed again. When we looked back, we saw that the student was sitting on the ground in fright, pointing at the wall and trembling. When we looked, we found that there was another horizontal line missing on the wall.

'Three, two, one. ' My brother said, 'The numbers are decreasing! '

We saw clearly yesterday that there are two horizontal lines on the wall, which shows that the number has indeed decreased.

Seeing us with frightened faces, the two soldiers quickly came over to ask what was going on. When we told them about the matter, they were obviously a little scared, but one of them was obviously a veteran who had seen the world, and he was able to stabilize the morale of the army. Said: "It's just a few horizontal bars, who said it's a number?"I think you scholars don't know anything but spread rumors to scare people. If the rain doesn't stop, take a rest for a few days and wait until the rain stops before leaving. When he said this, although we were still afraid in our hearts, we couldn't say much, so we spent the day in the house again.

That night, each of us wanted to know what was behind that day, but we didn't know the exact time. In the end, although we were sleepy, none of us went to sleep, and sat on the first floor and waited.I was full of energy, but I didn't know why. I waited and waited, and somehow fell asleep. I didn't know how long I slept. Suddenly someone shook my shoulder, and then I heard my brother's voice: "Brother, get up!" '"

"I raised my head in a daze and asked, 'What's the matter?' My younger brother said happily: 'The rain stopped outside! Look, the sun is shining brightly outside, and the sun is so hot that I can't open my eyes, I am very happy in my heart, and I immediately took the luggage with the others and went out."

"You must not have gone out," I said, "or else this story would be over."

The man nodded his head, sighed again, and said: "When we went out, there was nothing unusual at first, but after walking for a while, we found that at some point, a layer of fog gradually formed around us. It's not unusual, but I've lived so long, and I've never seen such a strange fog, and the farther you go, the thicker the fog is. It's not wrong, it's just like what you saw today, it's just white fog."

"Not long after I walked, I felt engulfed by the fog, not to mention identifying the direction. My brother took my arm and was right next to me, but I couldn't even see his face. We walked forward for a while , and finally even reached the point where I couldn’t see it even when I put my hand in front of my eyes. I raised my voice and said to others: “The fog is too thick, why don’t we go back first?” After speaking for a long time, no one answered. My brother said: "Brother, we seem to be separated from others." Hearing this, I was even more frightened, and said to my brother: "Let's go back first, and we will leave after the fog clears." The younger brother turned around and walked straight back."

"But if you go back, you may not be able to go back." Wang Liang said: "You said before that the fog is so thick that you can't see the direction clearly, so your perception ability will degrade when your eyesight is useless. It feels like you're walking straight, but in reality you're most likely going in circles."

"Is there such a thing?" The man looked at Wang Liang in surprise.

"I can't tell, but you are quite educated." I said, "You know a lot, second only to me."

Kong Ting was afraid to hide behind Wang Liang when she heard the story, but she shook her tongue triumphantly when she heard this: "It's not a lot, it's just average."

I didn't praise you, it's so exciting.Then he asked the man's head: "You will not end up exhausted in this fog, will you?"

"No." The man said, "We walked out of the fog not long after we walked, and saw the small second floor. The strange thing is, when we got to the door, we saw several other people coming back from the fog one by one. Well, the few of us who lost our way obviously walked in different directions, but in the end we were able to walk back here. Now, even the two soldiers began to curse evil.

But now that we have walked back, and the fog is so thick that we can’t go anywhere else, we can only go back to the room. As soon as we entered, we heard another student say "ah", and pointed to the side in surprise. Looking in the direction he pointed, he saw a big 'zero' written on the opposite wall.

Seeing this character, we were all silent. Numbers such as one, two, and three can be said to be drawn by someone who didn't know who drew them. It can be said to be a coincidence, but such a cumbersome zero character, there is no way to use coincidence. Come to explain, everything returns to the origin, everything starts from zero, and this number has now rolled back to zero, we don't know what will happen the next day. "

"Actually, it doesn't necessarily mean that it will be zero." I said, "Maybe he will become minus one the next day, minus two on the third day, and then go down to minus three and minus four..."

"..." The man glanced at me and said, "You think very well, but unfortunately the 'thing' that writes numbers didn't think of that, so the real anomaly started from that day."
