This is a wasteland, but not far ahead is a cornfield covered with green tents. Once the man entered, he quickly disappeared. At first, you can still see the corn stalks swaying at the edge, but then you can't see anything. The corn stalks are more than a person's height. Besides, at this time of year, most of the fields in the north are planted with this crop. Thousands of acres of fertile fields are green, just like a vast ocean. How can you find a person if he hides in there
We stopped outside the cornfield, and the villagers came running over, talking about how to find the person. I told them that although Xinglu was possessed by an evil spirit, there was nothing to be afraid of under the sun. We should select strong men with strong yang energy, form groups of two, and go inside to search separately.
At first they refused, but Shen Bing threatened them with a few more words, still using the children as an excuse, and many of them agreed reluctantly. We left out the old men and women and picked out twelve strong men, including Shen Bing and I, and divided them into seven groups, and we dispersed into the cornfield.
Soon after I entered, the weather changed. The sky was covered with dark clouds, and the cornfield was filled with a hot and humid atmosphere. It seemed that it was going to rain. The corn leaves scratched my skin exposed outside my clothes, but I didn't feel anything at first. But as I sweated in the hot and humid weather, I felt pain and itchiness on my arms, neck, and cheeks. It was really uncomfortable.
Shen Bing and I followed the direction that Mr. Lu had entered the field. At first, we were able to follow the corn stalks that had been trampled or knocked crooked, but when we reached the mouth of a ridge used for irrigation, we lost track of the scum. It might have escaped along the mouth of the ridge and then wandered into another field.
We had no choice but to walk along the ridge, so that we were a little further away from the corn stalks on both sides, and the leaves wouldn't scratch us, which made us feel more comfortable. But not long after we walked, the wind suddenly started to blow, making the corn leaves rustle, and we could smell a faint smell of rain in the humid air.
It looked like it was going to rain, so we hurried forward. The soil in the fields was soft and turned into a swamp when it rained. But after running for a while, I felt a little lost. I didn't know how far away the fields were or in which direction the village was.
We haven't found the end of the field yet, and the rain started to fall. The big raindrops hit our heads, and it was cold and painful. In an instant, the rain poured down like a torrential rain. It was really unlucky. The rain was so heavy that we couldn't find the direction in the first place, let alone now. A layer of water vapor filled the green sea of corn, and it was dark everywhere, and we couldn't see anything clearly.
We were both soaked to the skin, our clothes stuck to our bodies, and we kept wiping the rain off our faces. The ground started to get muddy, and our feet were covered in mud, making every step very difficult.
"Country bumpkin, look, there's someone over there!" Shen Bing pointed to the left and shouted.
I turned around hastily and saw a person lying between the corn stalks, but it was not Lu. My heart skipped a beat and I ran over and parted the corn stalks. It was a young man from our group, covered in blood, lying face up, motionless.
This really scared us. It was raining and there was no sunshine, so the evil spirit dared to attack. Could it be that he was killed? I bent down and pushed the man. He groaned, and we both breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he was not dead, it would be easy to deal with. When I was about to check his wound, the corn stalks in front of me on the right suddenly shook violently, and there was a rustling sound. Someone ran over there.
