The Secret Art of Refining the Dead: The Walking Corpse File

Chapter 257 Sleepover
All kinds of doubts are stuck in people's hearts like this, but they can't ask, let alone how aggrieved.

I can't see right now, my whole body hurts here or there, I can only walk with Tang Linlin's support.

Although it is daytime, right now there is darkness in front of my eyes. In the silence, I can only hear the footsteps of the people. From time to time, Zhou Xuanye and Tan Ren will discuss the route. To prevent the other party from sending people to catch up, they negotiated to bypass this mountain and leave quickly.

At this moment, we must not be able to go back the same way, but bypassing this mountain, there is still a mountain on the opposite side. According to the map we have seen before, the mountain over there should be Xianyuku in the south.This place in Jiangxi is the birthplace of Taoism, and the culture of immortals and gods has a strong heritage, which can be reflected from these place names.

Fairyfish library?The name is quite weird. Zhou Xuanye and Tan Ren calculated that the Xianyuku is the closest inhabited place to us other than Feijian Lake. Only when we reach Xianyuku can we be considered safe.From where we are now, it will take at least two days and one night to reach Xianyuku, that is to say, if we walk non-stop, we will arrive tomorrow afternoon at the earliest.

During this process, there are too many accidents that can happen, and the most feared thing is that Yumen's people will catch up.

The trek was a very difficult process, and at night, I developed a fever.There is no way, the hygienic conditions in this place are too poor, I already have many traumas on my body, so tossing about like this, most likely the wounds are inflamed.

At night, everyone found a place to camp. Zhou Xuanye treated my wounds, thought for a while and said that the situation was not optimistic, so he decided not to rest tonight, but to drive all night. In this way, we will arrive at Xianyuku at around noon tomorrow.

Tang Linlin was also very hardworking, so without saying a word, everyone hurriedly ate something, and everyone set off again.For me, everything around me hasn't changed in any way, it's all dark anyway, and I've gotten used to it.But Zhou Xuanye and others had to use their eyes to find their way, so their speed was much slower than during the day.

I had a severe fever and couldn't move at all. Tan Ren and Zhou Xuanye took turns carrying me for a while.During the whole process, my mind was rather chaotic, and I didn't feel anything other than tired and sleepy.

I don't know how long it took before I felt Zhou Xuanye, who was carrying me on his back, stop. He put me down and sat against a tree. Immediately afterwards, I heard Zhou Xuanye say, "Strange, why is there light there?"

Tang Linlin said: "There seems to be a wooden house, is there anyone else here?"

Tan Ren said: "Could it be a forest guard?"

Tang Linlin said: "I don't know, let's go and see, maybe there is medicine in it?" She felt short of breath when she spoke, obviously she was too tired.

I woke up a little, and said, "Go and have a look, I don't care, if there are people, everyone can just rest in the middle of the night."

"Are you awake every day? Do you feel better?" Tang Linlin asked.

In fact, I had a terrible headache, and my consciousness would come and go. It seemed to be more serious than before, but I didn't want to worry everyone at this time, so I said, "It's much better."

Tang Linlin breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "That's great, let's go over there and have a look, I'm so thirsty." Zhou Xuanye and the two were probably exhausted, so they didn't refuse. Said the wooden house away.

After a while, the wooden house seemed to have arrived, and I heard Zhou Xuanye calling at the door: "Is anyone there?"

After a while, there was a creaking sound of the door opening, followed by an old man's voice: "Are you...?"

Tang Linlin muttered in a low voice, "What a grandpa."

Zhou Xuanye obviously also felt strange, he said: "My lord, we were traveling in the mountains, but we encountered wild animals and lost all our things, can you stay with us for one night?"

"Oh, of course, come in, come in." Although I couldn't see it, I heard the voice, this old man was very easy to talk to.

After entering the room, Tang Linlin helped me to sit down on a chair, only to hear the old man say: "You all have injuries on your body, this young man is seriously injured, have you taken any medicine?"

Zhou Xuanye said: "All the medicines are lost, there is only a little left, and I managed to deal with some."

The old man said that he has medicines here, all of which are herbs picked by himself. He has been moving in the mountains all year round, and it is inevitable that he will get scratched, stumbled and injured.The old man was very enthusiastic, and while talking, he went to dry the herbs, said to help me treat the wound, and lit a fire outside the wooden house to boil water.

Tang Linlin probably felt sorry, so she said, "Grandpa, let me help you."

Tan Ren said calmly: "Why are you so diligent today?"

Tang Linlin said: "This old man lives alone in this deep mountain and old forest. He's a little abnormal. I'm worried that he might play tricks. I'll go and have a look." After speaking, he heard footsteps going out.For a while, only me, Zhou Xuanye and Tan Ren were left in the room.

The two of them didn't speak, and I didn't know what they were doing. I stretched out my hand and groped around for a while, and I found a table with bumps on the surface and a few small cracks in the middle. , The wooden house I am in now should belong to that kind of relatively simple house.

After touching for a while, I found that the surroundings were very quiet. Tan Ren and Zhou Xuanye didn't make any movement. I felt a little strange, so I called out: "Boss? What are you doing?"

Zhou Xuanye said: "Is there something wrong?"

I said: "It's okay, you didn't move, I thought you went out."

Tan Ren said: "Blind people are trouble."

Zhou Xuanye was quite helpless, and said: "Senior brother, Tian Gu is already like this, so don't add trouble to the situation." Immediately afterwards, Zhou Xuanye said: "This room is a bit strange, do you smell it? It's the smell of wood." With his reminder, I really found that there is indeed a layer of woody fragrance floating in this room.

In fact, this is a wooden house, and the furniture inside is also made of wood. It is normal to have a woody fragrance, but this smell will actually disappear over time.And in the room we are in at the moment, the fragrance is quite strong, as if the wooden house has just been built.

The old man was too enthusiastic just now, and we didn’t have time to ask him about his situation after we came in. He ran out to get medicine. I don’t know why an old man lives in this deep mountain and old forest, and this wooden house is very likely to be Newly built not long ago.

While talking, the medicine was ready, the old man instructed Tang Linlin to help me treat the wound, and gave me a bowl of dark medicine.Actually, I don't want to drink this stuff, even if I am heartless, I won't drink the medicine given by someone I just met for no reason, right?

I said it was a little hot, and after drinking it for a while, Zhou Xuanye immediately started chatting with the old man. He has a gentle temper and is easy to win people's favor.

The old man himself said that he is a forest ranger who just moved here, because people have been poaching all the time in recent years, Tang Linlin said with a smile: "Old man, you are already old, the poachers are here, are you in charge?" ?”

The old man said bluntly: "I can't control it, but when I was patrolling the mountains, I wore forest uniforms and red armbands to represent the country. People who do bad things will be afraid when they see it."

Tang Linlin said: "Then what if you meet someone you're not afraid of?"

The old man said: "I haven't met it yet, if I do, I'll pretend I didn't see it, old man, I just try to make a living."

Tang Linlin asked, "Don't you have any children?"

The old man said, "Yes, they are all dead." His voice dropped and he did not speak again.

The conversation fell into silence for a while, Tang Linlin said apologetically, "I'm sorry, old man, I didn't mean to ask this."

"It's okay, this is fate, oh, I live here alone, there are not enough beds, you can make do with it, squeeze in there." After finishing speaking, the old man seemed not in the mood to continue chatting, Zhou Xuanye and others thanked him , helped me walk about ten steps, let me sit on the ground.

The ground was a little soft, as if it had been covered with hay, and there was a layer of rough sheets, and then Zhou Xuanye and the others also slept next to it. It seemed that they had made a temporary sleeping place for us near the wall.

The cold wind is blocked here, and it is soft and warm to sleep on, which is in stark contrast to our recent days. It is so comfortable that people want to hum, so it didn't take long for everyone to fall asleep.

In a daze, I suddenly felt a little out of breath, as if something was pressing on my body. This feeling was a bit like a ghost pressing a bed. I struggled immediately, but the more I struggled, the heavier the pressure , In the end, I was completely awake, but when I opened my eyes, there was still darkness in front of me, and the invisible pressure was getting bigger and bigger, as if I was buried in the soil.

what happened?

My whole body seemed to have been immobilized, I couldn't move at all, I could only gasp heavily.

Who can save me!
At this moment, I seem to be isolated, and no one around me seems to notice that I am strange. I can even feel that Zhou Xuanye is lying next to me, with his arms touching his arms, sleeping soundly.Am I going to be suffocated to death like this?When Zhou Xuanye came together tomorrow morning, he would find a stiff corpse lying next to him?

This is definitely not a good thing.

Just when I felt that I was about to suffocate to death, I suddenly felt itchy all over my body. The itching was like many small bugs crawling out from the flesh. In an instant, I heard a strange cry in my ears. Before I could realize what the sound was, the pressure around me immediately relaxed, and the air was poured in with my breath.

At the same time, I felt Zhou Xuanye who was beside me suddenly turn over and shouted: "Run!" The next moment, my whole body was carried on his shoulder by him, and my world was spinning.

I almost scolded my mother.

What the hell is going on!

The itchy feeling on my body also disappeared in an instant. I feel like a sack, being carried by Zhou Xuanye, and I don't know where I am running.In addition, there were the scolding voices of Tang Linlin and Tan Ren, who also ran away.

And until now, I don't know what happened.

But it is certain that it is definitely related to the weird situation just now.
