This old owl flew out from the mountain. The closer it got to us, the bigger it looked. When it flew over the ridge, we noticed that this old cockroach had the length of an adult's arm, and his eyes seemed to be emitting a fierce light.
Of course, the fierce light may also be the hallucinations of us children who are afraid, but in any case, the old cockroach is very fierce.
The old man flew over Lingzi, and Zhao Jie and I were so scared that we could not help bending over, but Shang Haoming didn't know where the courage came from, so he picked up a stone from Lingzi and threw it at the old man, although he didn't throw it. In the middle, but still frightened the old man.
"Quack quack"!
The old man called three times and then clapped his wings a few times and flew away.
Shang Haoming turned back to me and Zhao Jie and said, "What are you two afraid of, isn't it the old man? My grandma once told me that the call of the old man is not a good thing, so when I hear the call of the old man, I will throw the stone away. It, drive it away, so that the bad things will be driven away."
Hearing what Shang Haoming said, Zhao Jie and I also hurriedly picked up a stone and threw it in the direction where Lao Lu flew. Although it was a bit late, it was still the same, and we hoped it would work.
After the stone was thrown, the three of us didn't speak, and there was another cry of "wow wow" in the col, but this time the cry was much calmer, it was just a child crying, and there were not so many negative emotions. inside.
The three of us also felt that we were not as scared as before. Of course, maybe we have gradually become accustomed to this kind of crying. After all, that kid was just crying and didn't come out to hurt us.
After looking at the col for a while, I said, "Should we go down and have a look."
Now that I'm brave enough, then I'm ready to be brave to the end. When I went to the tomb with Master Liu, Master Liu said that the things on my body can protect my body and keep me safe. What I met today was just a red ghost, and it was only a ghost. Little devil, then we should have enough things on our body.
Hearing what I said, Zhao Jie objected, but Shang Haoming's courage grew bigger and bigger, and said directly: "Xiaoyong, I'll go with you, I've never seen a ghost in my life, today Hearing the cries of ghosts, if I don’t see the Lord, will I regret it for the rest of my life?”
I will say that Shang Haoming is no less curious than me.
But Zhao Jie had no choice but to say: "Okay, then I'll accompany you to see it together, and the three of us will die together."
"Bah, bah, you bastard Zhao Jie, don't say such unlucky words, don't forget that I am someone who has learned skills from Master Liu." I said angrily at Zhao Jie.
Although the three of us made up our minds to go down to the mountain to find out what happened, but when we really wanted to set off, the three of us were hesitant to move forward. First, the three of us were actually scared. If the thorns and jujube thorns are cleaned with bare hands, it is simply life-threatening work.
So I first went to a locust tree, tore off a dry branch from it, and then used it to remove the thorns and jujube thorns in front of it.
This matter was my pick, so I decided to go first, with Shang Haoming following me and Zhao Jie behind.
We have to be extra careful when we go down the mountain col, because it is a relatively steep slope going down from here. If you accidentally step on the empty foot and roll down from the pile of thorns and jujube thorns, you will not fall to death, but it will hurt to death. of.
Although we had simple tools in our hands, it was still very difficult for us to go down. After walking more than ten meters, all three of us had scratches on the backs of our hands. Looking at the blood marks on the backs of our hands, I couldn't help but want to back off. .
If we go down, don't we have to scratch us
Humans always go back and forth like this, so we always need something to support us to go on, and at that time, the things that supported us to go on were probably "curiosity" and "competitiveness".
Continuing to go down, we gradually gained experience. Although the thorns are dense, scratching is not painful, so we walked down the place with thorns. Although we circled a few times, we were not scratched by the thorns. arrive.
So soon we descended into the subsidence of the slope, which was low and dark, and full of fine sand, weeds and rocks, but there was no body of the baby we were looking for.
However, this col is not too small, so we started a carpet-like search from where we went down. After walking a few steps, we found black feathers in the grass, which must have been left by those old squirrels just now.
But around Old Shave, we didn't find anything.
Going further, we found a puddle, about a few square meters in size, and very cool, and a few water scorpions (a kind of water creature) crawling and swimming in the grass.
It's almost winter, and it's rare for this water scorpion to be so happy.
Soon we also discovered the source of the water in the puddle, which is a fist-sized spring near the slope. There are springs in this mountain, which are often seen in our area, so many mountain depressions are actually small. In the years when there is enough rain, there will still be fish and shrimps in those creeks in the mountains.
So the three of us were not surprised to see the water.
What surprised us was a piece of rags next to the puddle, which looked like the kind of cotton trousers used for babies.
The three of us also got nervous, which showed that we were a lot closer to what we were looking for.
"Wow wow", just at this moment, there was another sudden cry in the col Yes, after listening to it from all directions, I can't tell the direction at all.
Zhao Jie couldn't help but said: "Xiaoyong, this is too scary, let's go back, this mountain pass is getting deeper and deeper, and we may enter the deep mountains and old forests in a while, even if we can't meet ghosts, we encounter wolves and wolves. Wild boars are not a good thing."
Shang Haoming didn't speak at this time, and it was estimated that his curiosity and courage were about to be worn out by this strange atmosphere.
I said softly: "Let's go further, if we still can't find anything, we'll go back."
So we walked a few dozen steps forward, patiently looking for every place.
"bass!"
At this time, a gray shadow suddenly appeared in the grass a few meters away from us, and then jumped up and ran up the slope. It was a false alarm, and it turned out to be a hare.
But it was this hare that scared the three of us, shouting "Ah" in unison, and then jumping all the way.
Zhao Jie stammered, "Rabbit, rabbit, rabbit!"
I was constantly disturbed by the surrounding sounds, and was frightened to death by the rabbit. At this time, the weirdness we endured in our hearts has reached its extreme. I know in my heart that if we continue to look for it, it doesn’t matter if we can find that one or not.” Baby", we all have a mental breakdown, so I'm like, "Let's go back."
This suggestion of mine was immediately responded by Zhao Jie and Shang Haoming, so we started running back, but as soon as we turned back to run, the cry of "wow wow" became louder, and it began to be full of anger and anger again. , grievances and other negative emotions.
We were already on the verge of collapse, and we didn't care what the cry was saying, we just ran back desperately, and soon we ran under the broken roots where we came down, and then cleaned up the place along the way we came. Climb up an obscure road.
But this slope is relatively steep, and we ran over again. We were not lightly tired, and it seemed a little powerless to climb up. The speed was terrible, but the crying behind us and beside us was getting louder and louder. We were frightened and trembling all over, and the speed of the climb was slowed down by another grade.
So we climbed for a long time only to find that we only climbed out less than seven or eight meters.
At this time, I turned my head and glanced at the mountain col, and I screamed "ah", and almost didn't faint. Under Pogener, which we climbed up, a baby in tattered rags was crying. He followed us up the climb, and half of his face had rotted away, the eyeball of one eye had disappeared, and there was black gas under the eye socket.
One of the baby's small hands even showed bones, and the white bones under the neck were clearly visible.
Hearing my shouting, Zhao Jie and Shang Haoming were also startled, then looked back, and then they also shouted "Ah", then turned their heads and desperately climbed up, obviously they were also looking at that thing. arrive.
This shows that it is not a ghost like a ghost, but a real entity, that is to say, that terrifying baby corpse is real...
This is more scary than knowing that there is a ghost behind, because Master Liu said that ghosts can only hurt people through hallucinations, but this baby's corpse might really bite and eat people!
Thinking of this, the three of us climbed up harder than each other, regardless of whether there were thorns or jujube thorns, nor how many cuts were made on our bodies, but our speed was not very fast after all, the baby's body was slowly moving towards We are close.
It crawled while crying, and approached us at a very slow speed, really like a baby crawling, it was less afraid of thorns and jujube thorns than us, because I clearly saw a jujube thorn stab it On the other remaining eyeball, and it followed us up the climb without caring.
In the end, the jujube thorn removed a large piece of the white of the eye from its eyeball.
When I saw this scene, I couldn't help but feel sick, disgusting, horrible...
Are all three of us going to be eaten by this little thing? Thinking of this, I remembered that we all have amulets in our hands, so I reluctantly calmed down and said, "Don't be afraid, don't we have amulets on our bodies? They don't dare to get too close to us."
As soon as I said this, Shang Haoming had the courage to hold the copper coin in his hand and shake it at the baby's corpse behind him.
The corpse did not crawl forward with fear, but cried even more on the spot.
“Wow wow wow…”
That cry was so terrifying...
