Chapter 181 Fox
I then froze, do not even think about it, brushed back to the head, towards the long street behind me to look at, but the surrounding cold and solemn, there is still no discovery.
Xia Ruxuan was much more nervous than me, even his hand was already on the knife at his waist. I could even hear the sound of him gulping, if it were before, I would have thought that he was being paranoid because he was too nervous, but at this time, I would rather believe it than not, and I definitely didn't dare to take it lightly.
I gave him a wink, pretending that I hadn't found anything, and said that we were still looking around, wondering if we had missed something.
He understood what I meant and nodded wordlessly, but the hand on his waist never let go. The two of us so slowly walking, footsteps subconsciously become very light very light, concentrate on listening to the movement behind, from time to time with the corner of the eye towards the back of a glance, but strangely enough is still the same as before, has not been found any bizarre place. I just thought to say is it really an illusion, but suddenly heard a slight click sound, as if the foot rubbed on the roadside stone slipped a little like.
As soon as this sound rang out, I immediately looked back and saw that about thirty meters back, a dark shadow with a blurred face just wanted to hide in the corner of a house.
With a huff, I drew out the dagger on my waist, shouted towards Xia Ruxuan, and rushed over with a step.
The black shadow seemed to be startled by our situation, panicked, turned around, and ran in the opposite direction, I was like catching a clue to solve a mystery, where can I let him run away! I chased after him with all my might, but when he realized that there was no way out of the town, he suddenly ran towards the mountain road.
I slightly hesitate for a moment, regardless of rashly chased into the mountains, but do not want to let this person to run, and finally thought of Ding Ding they may also be in the mountains, I just clenched my teeth, turned back to let Xia RuXuan to follow, and continue to chase in.
But did not run far I began to regret, this mountain trees are exceptionally lush, even the moonlight is completely blocked, and the road is very difficult to walk, I guess a few days before the rain, feet feel a little slippery. I didn't run out a few steps before I slipped and fell, getting mud spots all over my body. That black shadow only focused on running forward, almost in a state of panic.
Xia Ruxuan help me up from the ground, see I still want to continue to chase, busy stop me a hand, said cousin we can not continue to chase, this mountain can not distinguish the direction, if too deep, we may not be able to get out.
I used my hand to wipe my face splashed with mud points, looking at the black shadow disappeared from the line of sight disappeared, the heart feels very reluctant, but Xia Ruxuan this is right. If we went deeper, it would really be a problem for us to come out.
I only then endured a breath, in the vicinity to find a relatively dry place to sit down, rested for a while, and properly recalled today's events, and Xia Ruxuan did not say anything, just stood on the edge, looking at the direction of that black shadow disappeared stayed for a long time.
My breathing gradually calmed down, silent for half a day, which asked him to say, do you think that the black shadow is somewhat familiar?
His body slightly trembled, turned his head, looked at me with a very inexplicable gaze, although some hesitation, but finally nodded.
That black shadow just running movement, posture, and even his physique, I can see clearly, this person is a little short, a little fat, feels very much like a person, that is my brother-in-law. It was precisely because of this that I opened my mouth and said such a sentence to Xia Ruxuan.
I had been observing his reaction, not because I suspected that there was another connection between him and my brother-in-law, even if he hadn't stopped me just now, it wouldn't have been easy for me to catch up with that black shadow. And his words were also right.
Xia Ruxuan is now with us, although because of the relationship of those things in the past, we are more or less a little wary of him, so from the time I brought him out of the house of Lu Yao captivity, he can be said to be surrounded by people all the time, there is no chance of linking up with the brother-in-law, and from the reaction of him just now in the street seems to be, if he and the brother-in-law planning something, that is not remind me of someone to follow.
From this point of view, I think that if that person is really the brother-in-law, then he this period of time, in fact, did not go far away to escape, but has been hiding in our side, secretly monitoring our every move. This time, should also be look at follow us.
But because I asked this, Xia Ruxuan will also unconsciously nervous, trembling stand in front of me, even how to put his hands do not know. I look at him like this, can not help but feel some pity, sighed, which said, come on, I do not suspect you of what, so nervous why.
He only then skimmed his mouth, awkwardly laughed, and said that he was afraid of being beaten by Xie Chengfeng …… Your face is taut, and I am a little panicked.
I look at him like this, and sympathize and laugh. Reach out to the side and gently patted, signaling him to sit down, before saying, I always think how to be considered a relative, and your motives I can understand, so I did not blame you. But that person is really your father, certainly still playing some I can not guess the idea, before that kind of thing, I do not want to repeat it again.
Xia Ruxuan busy shook his hand and said, no cousin, if my father really want to do something, you take me as a hostage can also, I have no problem.
I laughed, reached out and rubbed his head, said you want to think about these why, come on, tired all night, it looks like soon to be dawn, this mountain road on the slippery, now can not see clearly, down the mountain is more dangerous. You in this tree side sleep a while, I'll watch the night, tomorrow morning in back.
Xia Ruxuan sat up straight and said, "Cousin, you better sleep, I can hold out.
I shook my head and found an excuse to send him off, not afraid of what might happen after I fall asleep, but I am worried about Ding Ding and Lin Tian, they met with some accident, really do not have the heart to sleep. Although Xia Ruxuan mouth, but see me insist, leaning against the tree did not take long to fall asleep.
This mountain is much colder than the bottom, but the mud on my clothes also dry very quickly, and finally was shaken off by me, there is only a mark looks a little dirty. After about two hours, the sky is only a little light, this mountain in the morning there is a little bit of white fog, but soon dissipated, the morning air, inhaled into the nose let a person feel the spirit of a shock, indescribable comfort.
I see the color of the sky is almost, on the Xia Ruxuan called up, it is estimated in this kind of environment after a sleep relationship, he felt a little cold, almost caught a cold, this is something I had not thought of before.
We follow the road back, this daybreak, although can see clearly, but it feels as if these roads we have not walked like, after all, last night nothing can not see clearly, we can only estimate the approximate road forward.
But walking, I feel more and more wrong, we came, about half an hour running, down the mountain although not like when that is to do running, but the speed is not slow, but we walked for an hour, but we have not seen the previous town. According to reason, we stand on the mountain, should be able to clearly see the whole town look, but now look out, out of that often sheer mountain road, but can not see a trace of the town.
The more I walked the more confused I became in my mind, there were trees everywhere around here, they all looked pretty much the same. I even thought we had gone the wrong way, not noticing the exit from the mountain road, turning back and walking again, until finally, I had to admit that we were lost in these mountains!
I stopped and recalled the map that I had seen, and thought about the direction of southeast, northwest and north, the town should be good in front of us. But when I looked around, there were still only dense and eerie woods.
I keep telling myself to calm down, forward, and even all the way to do on the mark, holding a knife in the trunk of the tree cut out an arrow to, so that we can not only distinguish their own road, if someone behind us to look for us, then, can also know the direction we go.
Just like this until noon, I really have no strength in my feet. Xia Ruxuan was equally tired. We were both hungry and thirsty, and had to stop and rest.
No one spoke during this process, because we all know that it is futile to say anything. This forest was weird as hell, we kept moving forward without even turning a corner, but we just couldn't see a way out.
I rested for a while, to cheer up, is ready and Xia Ruxuan say a few words, suddenly feel the cold wind blowing, this forest leaves are beginning to clatter, I can not help but shiver, immediately after, heard a burst of ethereal laughter, leisurely echoed in the woods.
This voice could not distinguish between male and female, but it kept echoing without stopping. Xia Ruxuan and I stood up at the same time, tilted our heads and looked around, wanting to find the source of this sound, but this sound seems to be everywhere, we just determined a direction, it will immediately shift away.
The two of us stayed very close, as if we were worried about what would suddenly come out, but the more afraid we were, the nearby bushes, the weeds that were taller than a person suddenly brushed and trembled.
Xia Ruxuan and I both had our nerves tightened, all of our attention focused on the bushes. So nervous that we even stopped breathing. But unexpectedly, after that grass, two hands suddenly stretched out, raking the weeds and revealing Aunt Huang's face.
Xia Ruxuan and I breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, Auntie Huang also looked at us with a shocked look, saying that we can find you. I was afraid you would get lost in the mountains.
I slowed down for a while, then asked her, saying What are you hiding behind the grass?
She smiled awkwardly and said I just heard a laugh and thought it was haunted, so I hid in fear.
Her words fell, reached out and rushed not far away, said there is a house in front, is to guard the mountain people live, you first go there and wait for me, I look for the mouth of our family will come to pick you up. We just split up to look for you.
I "oh" a sound, turned his head just want to go, but found Xia Ruxuan face green, not move at all, I looked at him suspiciously, see him towards me to make a wink, pointing to the bushes. I looked along there, and suddenly saw the grass under Aunt Huang, revealing the hind legs of an animal, furry, and standing here, but also able to smell a fox smell.
I remembered the ghost pressure bed those things that woke me up, also this furry feeling, heart suddenly alert, in front of this smiling Aunt Huang, is it a fox?
