Xiaoyong's words made me a little confused, but when I turned my head and glanced back, a white hairy sweat appeared on my head.
I stood in front, Xiao Yong stood behind, and the moonlight above my head was shining down, and I could clearly see the shadow behind Xiao Yong.
However, on the sandy ground behind me, empty space, no matter which direction I look at, I can't see my shadow.
I felt dizzy right away. I haven't encountered this kind of thing before, and I don't even know what it means. But I know that it is said in the old folk saying that as long as it is a living person, there is a shadow, unless it is a ghost, it will not leave a shadow on the ground.
"Where is your shadow?" Xiaoyong probably hasn't heard of these rumors, but he just thought it was funny and ran around me. I can see that as he ran, the shadow behind him followed all the way, but after running around me more than ten laps, I still couldn't see my shadow.
I stepped involuntarily, stood in another place, and looked at the moonlight above my head. Standing here, there is bound to be a shadow, but when I look back after standing still, the sandy ground behind me is still empty.
"Brother, how did you make the shadow disappear? Teach me." Xiaoyong only thought it was a very fun thing, going around in circles back and forth, giggling.
I didn't dare say anything, my head was messed up, I just wanted to send Xiaoyong back to the village first.
"Brother, what's wrong with you?" Xiaoyong ran for a while, and saw that I was calm and silent, and felt something was wrong. He stopped and asked, "Brother? What's wrong with you?"
"It's nothing, it's like being caught in the wind, I have a headache."
"Then go back now." Xiaoyong is sensible. When I heard that I had a headache, he quickly picked up the small jar and said, "Brother, I'll go over there and get my bucket back."
In order to catch fish by the river, Xiaoyong specially got a small wooden barrel. I took him towards the place where the ball was hidden in the river beach. Before I got to the front, I saw two people who were in charge of the night watch, drinking together. It's getting cold, and the old cat specifically explained that he can't burn a fire to keep warm at night. He is afraid that occasionally people passing by will come over when they see the fire. Therefore, the two night watchmen can only drink some wine, chat and brag, to pass the time and stay up the long night.
Xiaoyong went to get the keg. At this moment, my gaze turned, and at a glance I saw the two night watchmen behind them, empty ****.
Their shadows seem to be lost too.
I didn't know if I was dazzled, so I hurriedly walked a few steps forward, and the two night watchmen saw me and asked me to go over and have a drink.
"Stop drinking, I have some headaches, I can't drink today." I didn't dare to say much, and answered a few words with the other party. When I answered the question, I could see clearly that the shadow of these two men really disappeared.
I didn't even know what was going on, so I hurriedly sent Xiao Yong back to the village. When Xiaoyong came home, I turned over a piece of dry food in the shack, and ate it three times and five times, muttering in my heart.
I wandered outside the shack for a while, and looked back as I walked, but no matter how I look at it, my shadow is really as lost, without a trace. I can’t stand it anymore. This kind of thing is very abnormal.
As I chatted with the two of them, the three of them disappeared, and it was better to get together to figure out a solution than I was here alone.
I hurriedly rushed towards the river beach, from the river beach to the village, I came and went seventeen or eight miles, even if I trot all the way, I walked for almost half an hour. When I rushed to the river beach out of breath, the two night watchmen disappeared. The bottles they were drinking with were still there, but there was no trace of them.
I can't tell whether these two people are going to relieve their hands or do other things, and they are very unsure of themselves. I looked around for a while, but couldn't find them, so I became more and more confused.
However, after panicking for a while, I forced myself to calm down, no matter if I was panicked or safe and sound, things had already happened anyway. The master also said to me before that when encountering things, try not to be messy, because if there is chaos, your mind will be disturbed, and you may make mistakes again and again.
I took two breaths, then went around again. The river breeze at night was mixed with a stream of damp and cold water vapor, passing by the beach. After I took a few steps, a gust of river breeze scattered a cloud of dry grass, and the golden ball under the grass was exposed. .
Under the reflection of the moonlight, the spheres radiated warm golden light. Looking at these spheres, I suddenly put away all the distractions in my heart, and walked over step by step.
Until now, I don’t know if these balls are made of gold. After so many years in the river beach, I have never heard of such a round golden ball in a big river. I walked around the golden ball, and amidst the buzz of wind, I suddenly became alert.
I heard a cry, a faint cry, but when I pricked my ears, I felt that the vague sound seemed to be a roar and shout again. Although the messy sound was slight, it suddenly stirred my head. I shook my head and glanced around, trying to tell where the sound was coming from.
But the sound in the wind was very messy, for a while it seemed to come from the west, and for a while it seemed to come from the east. After distinguishing it for a long time, I suddenly felt that this sound was like a howling and a roar. Close in front of you.
The hairs on my body suddenly stood up one by one, and I couldn't help swallowing. I felt that this sound really seemed to be coming from the golden ball in front of me.
The golden ball must be hollow, but I don't know what's in it. The old cat asked someone to come and see it, but he hasn't come back yet. I slowly got close to the golden ball, and then put my ear on the golden ball.
As soon as his ears were close to the golden ball, all the sound seemed to disappear suddenly, and even the whistling wind stopped abruptly.
"What are you... listening to..."
There seemed to be a very vague voice in the golden ball. Although the voice was vague, every word fell into my ears clearly. I took a few steps back in shock, my heart pounding wildly, as if I was about to jump out of my throat.
As soon as I withdrew, the sound of the wind in my ear began to return. My mind was dizzy. I stood still and couldn't tell for a while. Was the sound real, or I heard it wrong.
Although I am a little scared, I always want to make things clear.
Step forward again, get close to the golden ball, and then close your ears.
Just like the previous time, the sound of the wind disappeared, and there was an ethereal sound in my ears. Immediately afterwards, between this ethereal, another vague voice fell into the auricle.
"Your shadow is lost... Do you know where it was..."
This time, I really couldn't take it anymore, so I yelled and hurriedly withdrew for several steps. The vague voice lingered in my ears all the time, and I was fascinated by the stirring, I don't know why.
What is in this golden sphere? what exactly is it
When people were in extreme fear, there would still be a kind of anger from the bottom of my heart. At this moment, I seemed to be mad, and suddenly I picked up a pickaxe left by the villagers from nearby. The pickaxe was very heavy. I raised the pickaxe above my head and slammed it down at the golden ball.
Boom...
The golden ball was immediately smashed out of a pit, but the ball body was still good and undamaged. On the contrary, my hand holding the pickaxe was a little numb.
This time, I was awake a little bit more shocked, but I refused to give up, shaking my numb hand secretly, holding the pickaxe again, and wanting to continue hitting.
The moonlight was falling, and at the moment when the pickaxe in my hand was about to fall again, I was suddenly on the side of the golden ball and saw a flash of shadow. I hurried around, and at this moment, I saw a black shadow on the smooth golden ball.
This is definitely not my reflection. This group of shadows, as if imprinted on a golden ball, is flowing slowly like water. The shadow is constantly changing, but it can be distinguished that it is a human form. I finally found this clue, and immediately got closer, wanting to see more clearly.
At this approach, the shadow on the golden ball distorted again. Suddenly, the shadow seemed to turn his head, and I immediately saw a face that was not very clear.
This face is not familiar, but it is definitely not unfamiliar. I can recognize that this is a young man in the village. He seems to have the surname Ma. Everyone calls him a pony.
The shadow only turned his face, and immediately flowed away like water, to the other side of the golden ball. I stood there, thinking about it blankly. After thinking for a while, a terrible idea came to my mind.
I hurriedly turned to a golden ball next to me. At this time, the moon was almost perfect, and the moonlight was very clear. When I turned to another ball, I saw a dark shadow again.
I focused my attention, and carefully identified it. After looking at it for a long time, I recognized it again. This group of shadows should also be a young man in the village, but I can't remember his name.
I hurriedly turned to another ball and looked at it again. The third ball was also imprinted with a black shadow. I was recognizing who this black shadow was. After a glimpse, I immediately saw the leading from not far away. On the way to the river beach, a few shadows appeared.
The distance is too far, I can't see who those are. At this moment, my mind was completely tense, and then I fell down and lay flat on the sand, crawling to the side with my hands and feet.
Not far from the ball, there is a small bunker. A bunch of hay that was blown down by the wind just happened to fall in the pit. When I turned over, I rolled into the pit, quietly protruding half of my head and eyes. Staring at several people coming from a distance without blinking.
