One Pillow Huaxu

Before they had time to think about it, the two rushed forward and got on their horses. Nada grabbed the reins and shouted hurriedly amidst the pattering rain, "Where are you going?"

Wu Xie said, "Go outside." With a drink, he flicked the rein vigorously, the horse's head was raised high, and then he spread his hooves and ran towards the rain curtain.Zhang Qiling followed closely behind without hesitation, but Nada gritted his teeth and could only follow with his horse.

Wu Xie glanced behind while galloping, but saw that the villagers did not catch up.Those people stood there dumbly, silently watching the direction in which the three left through the rain curtain.

Wu Xie frowned, but the horse led him and quickly ran for a distance, and the villagers finally turned into blurred shadows in the rain.Nada speeded up and ran to Wu Xie, Wu Xie glanced at him: "Where did you come from again?"

Na Da shook the rain off his face, and said loudly amidst the sound of the rain: "I saw the village chief bring a large group of people, and I saw Boss Zhang packed his luggage and came out."

Wu Xie ignored him and didn't slow down, so Nada had to whip his whip again, and ran to Wu Xie again: "Boss Guan, I understand what you mean! The people in the village are really not normal people, you don't know me What did I see later..."

"Do you know how to get out?" Wu Xie interrupted him, "Do you know the way out from the sea of ​​trees?"

"Sea of ​​trees?" Nada was stunned, he thought for a moment and quickly realized, he said strangely, "You came in from the sea of ​​trees? We never go there, we always enter and leave from the entrance of the village, my uncle said that there is a cemetery , is a dead end."

When he mentioned uncle, his expression changed, as if he had thought of something indescribable.Wu Xie glanced at him thoughtfully, and said, "The place where the straw man stands is the village entrance?"

"That's right, I came in from Lite." Nada said, "But the road there is very strange, I couldn't find my way, and someone was leading me on a horse."

Wu Xie said: "You can't get out, the ghost hits the wall, you can only go in but not out. The sea of ​​trees has no way, it's broken, and if you walk in the opposite direction, you can only enter the dead."

As he said that, he glanced at Zhang Qiling, who had cut the bridge with a knife, and asked anxiously, "Then where are we going now, Boss Guan, do you know the way out?"

"I don't know, just walk around." Wu Xie said casually, but then he whipped his whip violently and ran towards one direction at a faster speed.

Seeing that he had charged too far alone, Zhang Qiling immediately followed and accelerated, running to the same position: "The last mural, everyone is walking to a higher place."

"Indeed, I also read some things, but I can see them very vaguely. Except for this stunned young man, no one wants to leave here, and the rest of the village are sending them to the sea of ​​trees." Wu Xie said.

Zhang Qiling glanced ahead, and said, "Go east after one kilometer, bypassing the shoulder of the valley."

Seeing that he knew which direction he wanted to go, Wu Xie twitched the corners of his mouth, and turned his head to Nada, who was looking blank, and raised his voice: "If you want to go, follow. The altitude is high enough, and ghosts may not be able to fight."

The three of them rode horses against the direction of the river and galloped all the way into the depths of the wilderness.The rain has not slowed down, but it is getting bigger and bigger, crackling and hitting people, and even the sky is getting darker, and the plain is gradually shrouded in darkness.The water level of the river soared, the mud layer on the bank was washed away by the rapid current, and the whole river became extremely turbid.

Wu Xie hung the lantern on the horse, and that light seemed to be the only indicator in the swaying wind and rain.The three of them dragged the horse's head across the turbulent river, then went east around a hill, and finally came to the end of the plain.

There is a mountain not far away, and a waterfall is rushing down from the top of the mountain at this time.The mountain can also be seen from the heights of the village, but on a sunny day, the glacier flowing water from the top of the mountain all the way down is like a spectacle. Now the water is getting bigger and mixed with muddy water. The eardrums are echoing.

Nada was panting in the rain, and when he saw the mountain, he couldn't help saying loudly: "Boss, this mountain is so steep, and the road is too slippery now, we can't get over it."

Wu Xie's complexion was not very good either. None of the three of them had a poncho, and he was already drenched, and the temperature began to drop as he went deeper. Once it was night, it would be even worse.He looked up at the waterfall. The waterfall flowed to the lower part of the middle, and a part protruded outward, as if forming a small pool on the way.

Other than that, the surrounding area is desolate, as if there will never be an exit.

Before Wu Xie could stop thinking about it, Zhang Qiling, who was also concentrating on the mountain beside him, suddenly said "Go up", then took out a bundle of rope from his bag, and got off his horse.

The bottom of the waterfall converges into a slightly wider river head, and the banks are full of jagged rocks.Zhang Qiling quickly came to the side of the waterfall, jumped onto a big rock with his feet, and then jumped up again, stepping on the rock sideways and heading towards the mountain wall.

There was a protrusion in that direction, Zhang Qiling slammed it in the air, and at the same time threw himself upwards again without pausing.Due to the long-term erosion of the surrounding water, and now it's raining again, the mountain wall looks terribly slippery, but Zhang Qiling picked the rock with five fingers, grasped it extremely steadily, turned over and jumped up the distance after a few consecutive strokes.

This series of movements is not something ordinary people can do, and it is countless times more outrageous than those in the riding and archery competition. Nada was dumbfounded.Wu Xie understood that Zhang Qiling had found a way out, so he got off his horse without any surprise. When he came near the waterfall, Zhang Qiling had already disappeared above the cliff, and after a while, he saw a length of rope being thrown off.

The two of them took their things and climbed up one by one, and it turned out to be a very shallow pool. Zhang Qiling was squatting in the middle of the water at this time. He groped into the water for a while, and when he pulled his arms upwards, he saw the water surface shaking violently. A few times, a square hole was exposed underneath.

Zhang Qiling untied his backpack and threw it to Wu Xie, held his breath, dived into the water, and soon came out of the water, motioning for the two to follow him in.

Below the hole is a waterway, which is not long, and soon slopes upwards.At the end of the waterway is a stone chamber, which seems to lead directly to the mountain behind the waterfall.At this point, it was finally out of the rain. Zhang Qiling swam in the front, threw the backpacks of the two of them out of the water, then turned around and dragged Wu Xie up from the waterway: "There is a big space in front."

Wu Xie got up, coughed hard a few times, stood still and took out the flashlight to look around.The stone room was not big, and there were many sundries piled up around it, including pottery pots and the remains of wooden boxes, and a corridor was opened on the wall in front of it.Wu Xie finished it quickly, and from the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Nada struggling to come out of the water. He casually twisted the water on his clothes, bent down to pick up the backpack on the ground, and planned to continue walking.

Zhang Qiling stopped him, frowning and took the bag from Wu Xie's hand.The Tibetan robe was thick and thick, and it was surprisingly heavy after soaking in water. At this time, Wu Xie's body was dripping with water, and his face began to turn pale due to the cooling.

He grabbed Wu Xie's wrist, felt the body temperature on it, and then pressed him to a dry corner to sit down without saying a word, turned his head and picked up a few wooden boards, bent his legs and broke them vigorously on his knees.

Wu Xie was stunned for a moment, Na Da lay panting at the entrance of the waterway, saw Zhang Qiling's movements, and immediately said: "Yes, rest, rest."

The fire started quickly, and Nada quickly took off his wet clothes, leaned in front of the fire, and let out a breath of relief.Wu Xie didn't insist, wiped his face, took off his outer robe and wrung it vigorously, stretched his hand to the inner coat, and put it back on.

He glanced at Zhang Qiling from the corner of his eye, habitually pulled down his cuffs, covered the scar on his arm calmly, and sat beside him.

Zhang Qiling only took off his outer robe, and was sitting a little far away.Nada twisted the water and saw that the two of them were sitting by the fire with serious expressions and clothes, and asked doubtfully, "Boss Guan, why don't you take it off and cook?"

"I have too many green dragon and white tiger thorns, which is not good for young people." Wu Xie lowered his eyes to look at the fire, and said lightly, "Outsiders should not look at it."

As he said that, he glanced at Zhang Qiling vaguely.Being close to the fire, the temperature rose quickly. Zhang Qiling glanced at Wu Xie, then at Nada, got up and left the fire to organize the supplies in the backpack until the unicorn tattoo and the heat of the fire subsided.

Wu Xie moved his position calmly, and sat down at the intersection of Nada's line of sight.Nada was stunned for a few seconds, then focused his gaze on Wu Xie, and after a moment of hesitation, he asked again: "Boss Guan, can we really go out here?"

"You can go back to Shuhai to try." Wu Xie coughed, "Or go back to the village, the folks in the village won't do anything to you."

"No." Nada turned livid and shook his head like a rattle when he heard that, "Boss, you really don't know what I saw. They are not normal people. My uncle cut off his finger while cooking last night. The blood rushed out of Lao Gao. I was scared to death, but he acted like a normal person, smiling and persuading me to say don’t be afraid, it’s nothing, and I will become the same after a while.”

"Is it normal to be like this?" Nada was terrified, and then continued as if remembering something, "Besides, I didn't see him when I woke up several times before. Is it also related to this incident? People in the village Is it all like this?"

"It's okay to cut off a finger, so what's the problem if you go out to blow the cold wind in the middle of the night." Wu Xie raised his hand to poke the fire. When Nada heard it, he moved closer and said solemnly, "I also found something."

Wu Xie paused, then turned around to see the young man started a conversation pretending to be calm, but deliberately stopped and did not continue, showing a smile: "Only you, you still want to play information sharing with me."

"This is an exchange of equal value. I also found your horse." Nada saw through it in a second, his eyes moved, but he still sat there firmly, "Everyone is hiding it from me. This is too uncomfortable. Boss Guan, do you understand the pain of not knowing anything?"

Hearing this, Wu Xie stopped fiddling with firewood completely.He fell into silence, and raised his eyes for a while, instead of looking at Na Da, he looked at the back of Zhang Qiling not far away.

"I understand." Wu Xie said lightly, "but now I won't be like you, chasing a person for the truth. Sometimes lying to a person is to protect him. Some truths may be unbearable for him. "

"The best way is to turn yourself into an executor." Wu Xie said here, and suddenly threw the firewood stick.Nada was startled by his sudden movement, Wu Xie coughed a few times, and looked at him: "You always give me a sense of familiarity, I am very angry when I see you."

Hearing this, Nada immediately stood up vigilantly, stepped back a few steps pretending to be calm, and said, "What do you want to do?"

"I'm old and don't have such patience." Wu Xie said, "You can choose to tell what you know, or shut up."

Zhang Qiling heard the movement of the two, frowned, picked up the bag, turned around and walked back to Wu Xie.Nada looked at the two of them back and forth, and reluctantly put his butt back. He seemed to weigh it in his heart for a while, and then continued: "After I went back that day, I overheard from the village witch that those who wore Bam masks are all from the village."

Wu Xie was not surprised. He pulled Zhang Qiling to sit down, took out a stainless steel lunch box from his bag, put it on the fire and started boiling water.Nada said: "There seems to be a tradition in the village, that is, some people are described as losers by the village shaman. They will put Bam masks on such people and kill them."

"I should have met this group of people that night, but it's obvious that you can't kill them once." Nada's speech speed accelerated, "I'm still normal now, am I a loser? By the way, you live next door. Your husband and wife have been watching you all the time, and the one hanging next to you before probably failed in the middle of the situation. That man was spying on you, and he also started to change on the way."

When Wu Xie heard this, he suddenly stopped.But he only paused for a second, without any change in expression. He picked up the hot and smoking lunch box with a firewood stick, and handed it to Nada: "The whole village is a closed loop, and this assimilation behavior has been repeated to increase the same kind. But It's not a good thing to let Bam wander around, after all, the walking dead have become so ruthless that they even beat their own people. They will get rid of some people who have successfully degraded their five senses but have no thinking."

Nada let out an "oh" and raised his hand to take the lunch box to drink water.Wu Xie looked at him carrying the lunch box thoughtfully, then rummaged through the bag for a while, suddenly raised her eyebrows, and took out a waterproof bag.

He shook the bag, and said to Zhang Qiling: "I asked why this cigarette was smoked so fast. Old Zhang, it's not kind to reduce the amount."

Zhang Qiling looked up at him without speaking.Wu Xie smiled at him, then took out two cigarettes and handed one of them to Nada.Nada's eyes lit up, he took it happily, lit it by the campfire, and took a breath.

Wu Xie stared fixedly at the other party smoking, held the cigarette in his hand, but did not light it.

Because of the rain and running all the way, his condition is not very good at this time.Wu Xie coughed a few more times, and added: "You said that the sea of ​​trees is the cemetery in the village, right? When I came in from there, I found that the right hands of the corpses there were broken."

"Norum." Probably due to the effect of nicotine, Nada's spirits were lifted a lot, and he raised his voice and said, "There is a saying in our family that the soul is immortal, and the soul is 'Norum' after death. But ghosts can be divided into good and evil, and we believe that if the corpse is destroyed, Worum will be incapacitated. Therefore, in order to prevent evil spirits from retaliating, the right hand of the killed person must be broken off."

"It turned out to be such an exorcism." Wu Xie thought of the mirror and snorted through his nose, while Na Da seemed to understand something again, and said excitedly: "The villagers buried in Shuhai are completely failed villagers. No, not buried, It was imprisoned, and they suppressed the losers who were finally killed in the sea of ​​trees."

"Not bad." Wu Xie raised his eyes and smiled at Nada.At this time, his expression softened a lot, as if he was praising the other party's series of analysis.

At the same time, he touched his clothes and felt that they were half dry, so he stood up and put them on, picked up his bag and walked to the corridor.Na Da hurriedly smoked a few cigarettes to follow, Wu Xie walked to the entrance, but stopped suddenly, and asked Na Da, "Are you sure you want to go out?"

Nada was taken aback for a moment, feeling that it was inexplicable for him to ask this question now.But Wu Xie stopped asking, looked at Zhang Qiling who was walking in front, and turned to follow.
