Thousand Lantern Night

Two days later, Dan Lang brought a small team over. There were twenty or thirty people. I was taken aback by how rich I was.Taking a closer look, their equipment is all the old-fashioned ones, with a lot of spikes and picks, no wonder so many people have to carry them.There is no need to compare these local goods, they are directly dumped by Xiaohua's goods.I said in my heart, this time I really want to have a picnic.

Dan Lang introduced the two personal bodyguards to us: "The two of them are more skilled, let them follow you so that you can take care of them."

I sneered to myself.Take care of your uncle, who is clearly sent to monitor us, afraid that we will go down and catch the good things of his ancestors.

I looked at the two boys, Suo Lang and Bian Le.Suo Lang was older, with a solid figure and dark skin, and looked rather dull.The other one is curt, that small body is a bit more enchanting than Xiao Hua's, the skin is fair and tender, but it's a pity that it has big buck teeth.When Dan Lang was talking to us, he would show his white teeth and smile cheerfully at Dan Lang, as if admiring him.I think it would be more appropriate for him to kneel down and hug Dan Lang's thigh in the next second, and call out "Master, come quickly" in a coquettish voice.

I was so disgusted by my own thoughts that I covered my mouth with my hand to prevent the breakfast I just had from coming out.

Bian Le seemed to see that I cared about him, so he rolled his eyes at me, and then glanced at Poker Ping.I was afraid that he would be a nympho, so I deliberately turned sideways to block the Poker Bottle.Poker bottle's hanging hand held my wrist and squeezed it, telling me to stop making trouble.

They had packed up Zamba's body and put it in a square urn, which gave the team a strong shoulder.I looked at the urn, and said to myself that if anyone on the road suspects what we are doing with so many people, we will say that we are selling salted fish and pickles.What a wit!Fortunately, Poker-Fing and I didn't carry that thing on our backs. Dan Lang really did not smoke my two packs of cigarettes for nothing, and he was quite on the road.

A large group of people set off in such a mighty way.I won’t list the details on the road. Generally speaking, one thing I admire about Dan Lang is that although he has many people, his quality is very high. So many people did not have any problems on the road.In order to avoid people's eyes and ears, we climbed two mountains, both of which were difficult to walk.This team has a clear division of labor, assigning tools, finding the way and navigating, and burying the pot for cooking are all in charge, and there is no chaos at all.

The place Dan Lang took us to is called Huangquanguai, which is the middle section of the three consecutive turns of the Yellow River East.I remember from the map that Xiwang Village was not too far away from that place, but I didn't expect to walk there for three or four days.I secretly wrote in the palm of Poker Ping, and told him that I felt a little strange, and I always felt that Dan Lang was leading us back and forth in the mountains.Poker Bottle shook his head, motioning for me to take a look.

It rained heavily when it was dark, and we arrived at a high slope very close to Huangquanguai. From here, we could see Huangquanguai at a glance, which is the narrowest section of the river with the fastest current.The wind was very strong, and a huge wave came over, drenching with water mist.Dan Lang ordered to set up camp on the leeward side of the high slope, and a bunch of people were busy ping-pong.

Just ate something, it was late.I kept trying to contact Xiaohua along the way, but every time I dialed, there was a beeping noise, which made me a little uneasy.At this time, it was dark and rainy, and a bunch of people got into the tents to hide from the rain for the night, and the camp quickly became quiet.

Poker-Face sat by the entrance of the tent in a daze, but from what I knew of him, his state was basically on alert, thinking or staring at something.I was fiddling with my phone, but I couldn't get in touch with Xiaohua, so I sent him a text message, telling him that the fish is in the underworld, and I will send you a message as soon as possible.

After sending the text message, I saw that Poker Ping was still in that state, moved over and hugged him from behind, and wrote on his back: What are you looking at?

Poker bottle came back to his senses, and dragged me to sit next to him, our foreheads touching.He said, "There are seven more people."

I was startled, his voice was lowered, and he continued: "There are eleven households in their village, not including children under the age of 15, and there are about 25 adult males. There are 32 in Dan Lang's team."

In other words, there are people who do not belong to Xiwang Village joining the team.This conclusion gave me a strange premonition that this trip to Fengling felt like some kind of premeditation.

I asked, we came to Fengling on a temporary basis, no one should have expected your thoughts.Before coming to Fenglingdu, did you feel that we were being followed?

The stuffy oil bottle shook his head.A stalking that even he can't find out, that kind of skill can be done.This possibility is very small.If no one knows our itinerary in advance, then the possibility of setting up a trap waiting for us in Xiwang Village in advance is almost zero.

In the end, Poker Ping squeezed my shoulder, indicating that it was time for me to sleep. "Take one step at a time. No matter what, don't leave my sight."

We sleep in our clothes.

It was raining heavily, and the tent was not always dry, and there was a dampness everywhere, which was very uncomfortable.Poker-Face generously lent me an arm to sleep on, and I looked at the ceiling in the dark, in a state of half-sleep and half-awake.

In the semi-blurry, it seems to hear a distant singing voice, an indistinguishable voice, chanting like a hexagram: "Heaven and man are corresponding, and all things are comparable. Different routes lead to the same goal, and we are in the same mind." Over and over again, there are just a few sentences.

The voice slowly approached in my mind, and finally became a chant beside my ears, and even a gust of wind blew into my ears.I stood up suddenly, my head hurt, my eyes were dark, but I could tell that I was in a tent.

But Poker Bottle is not by his side.

I was taken aback.A flash of thought flashed through my mind, Poker-Face would never leave me and walk away, so something must have happened to him.

I quickly got up.

At this time, the side of the tent where I was was suddenly pressed by something, and it felt like someone was pushing in from the outside.I calmly took out a short sword from my backpack, and conveniently got a short shovel attached to my back waist.Tsk, Dan Lang's equipment is really weak.

Then I opened the tent.It was raining and it was covered with a tarpaulin, and as I opened the tent I saw a hand grabbing the tarpaulin, as if trying to lift it up.

My nerves were very tense at this time.I don't know who is outside and what they want to do. If I rush out rashly to shout and kill, in case of a misunderstanding, won't it appear that I am too weak to be on the stage?

I decided to take a look at the situation.Just quietly hid on the side, trying not to be noticed.

Soon someone crawled in.

His face was almost on the ground, his buttocks were raised, and he crawled forward and backward, which was very ridiculous.But soon something didn't feel right to me.

The guy kept making a kind of chirping and cooing sound, like the kind made by frogs.Although it is very light, it can be heard quite clearly in such a quiet environment.Soon there were several identical voices outside the tent, as if in response.Judging from the number of voices, there should be a group of accomplices outside, not one or two.

I was thinking in my heart how the business of inverting fights still has the habit of stealing people, you don’t know who your grandpa is until you are caught.I fumbled for the lighter from my pocket, and it ignited with a snap.Remember the face first, if you run away during the day, you can identify it.

The man was startled by the sound of the lighter, and then slowly turned his head to look at me.At the same time, I also saw his appearance clearly.

The meridians on that face were intertwined and tangled, like a skeleton whose epidermis had rotted to expose the subcutaneous tissue, and the two eyes were protruding like crabs, and they swirled flexibly.The mouth was again a wide flat fish mouth, half-opened as if surprised, revealing two rows of sharp fine teeth.I've seen this kind of teeth on TV, only piranhas have them.

There is no neck below the face of this thing, and the head is directly attached to the body.Its body is covered with horny scales like fish scales, and it drags down a tail with heavy fins and spines.

The reason why I mistook it for a human just now is because it does have limbs.The upper limbs are on the chest, as short as a baby's arms, with four claws; the lower limbs are muscular and shaped like the hind limbs of a Tyrannosaurus rex.This is also the reason why it is low at the front and high at the back when it crawls.I don't remember seeing anything similar to it anywhere, but I'm pretty sure it's scientific name: mermaid.

The lighter quickly went out.This thing looked at me for three to five seconds, and when the fire was extinguished and my eyesight was the weakest, it suddenly rushed towards me.

I was leaning against the tent on my back, so I didn't get knocked down by it right away.I couldn't see in the dark, but subconsciously grabbed the dagger and stabbed it.It bit the palm of my left hand, and I stabbed it a few times on the side of the face, and turned around and jumped away instinctively.

With such a large arch, the ground nails of the tent were broken, and the whole tent rolled over towards me.I simply cut it open with my sword and quickly broke free from it.

As soon as he climbed outside, a large object pressed up behind him, and at the same time he felt tingling pain in both shoulders.I soon realized that there were accomplices outside, and before my foot came out, I kicked over the kerosene lamp, lit the lighter and threw it over.

The kerosene lamp burned quickly, and this light was enough for me to see the situation outside.

There are five or six of those things around my tent.Seeing that I was thrown down, they all jumped over quickly.

The scene of being eaten and dismembered flashed in my mind, and I was very frightened for a while.Turning sideways, he stabbed the back one a few times, and threw it off his back. Without thinking about getting up, he took a few steps back with his hands on the ground.

For some unknown reason, the entire camp was sleeping like dead pigs. There was such a big commotion here that no one was alert.I wanted to call out, but I couldn't make a sound, so I had no choice but to bite the bullet and carry it to death.

The mermaids formed a fan shape and gradually narrowed their surroundings. Some of their hind legs squatted slightly, as if they were ready to kill with one blow.

In comparison, my equipment is very weak. A half-meter-long dagger has little damage to this kind of hard horny species.If my own strength can be stronger, it is possible to kill one or two.As I thought about it, I slowly adjusted my breathing and firmly grasped the dagger.

Two of the mermaids jumped up suddenly and attacked me from the front and the right side.

A soundless air flow suddenly filled my hand, I dodged the one on the right sideways, raised my sword high to face the mermaid pressing in front of me, threw my sword into its jaw, quickly lowered my hand, and cut it all over. Ripped open.It fell to the ground in mid-air, struggling and twisting frantically.

This blow stunned the other companions for two seconds.

My face was covered with blood, I looked around for the remaining ones, and took a step towards the center.The mermaid facing me took a step back in panic, but the one on the left suddenly popped out.I did the same, and the sword pierced into its belly softly.However, this one came to clear the way.

I collided with the forward momentum of its two sides, and the blade of the sword and my hand smashed into its body.I didn't have sex for a while, and was hit by it to the ground, and the rest of them swarmed up. My neck, hands, and chest were all bitten and torn crazily. The pain made me almost lose my resistance.The pain made me scream desperately.

The tent in the camp suddenly collapsed, and Dan Lang and his team crawled out from under the tent, cursing to see what was going on.Then I heard a yell and a yell and they fucked up and came over and had a big fight.Soon the mermaids were shot to death.

Panting heavily, I stood up from the ground, feeling that the frequency of my heart beating almost exceeded the load of my body, and my eyes turned black in bursts.

"Wu Xie!" Someone beside me shook me vigorously, making me dizzy.

Holding my cracked forehead, I barely opened my eyes, and saw Poker Bottle staring at me nervously.His cold hand reached over and touched my forehead, and his lips moved over to press it, "What's the matter? Did you have a nightmare?"

Only then did I see clearly that we were still in the tent and there was no scuffle at all.I shook hands a little helplessly, couldn't help but gasped, and opened my left palm to see, there was a long wound bitten by sharp teeth lying across it.

When Poker-face saw the wound, his face changed.I was completely stunned, I looked at my hand and then at him in a daze, not understanding what was going on at all.
