Looking at the three followers around him, Zhong Kui secretly made up his mind.

The three people changed shifts to pay attention to Zhong Kui, and all the items they carried fell on them. The three people asked Zhong Kui to walk alone in the middle, one in front, and the two behind him. In this way, Zhong Kui was pinched in the middle, and it was impossible to escape even if he wanted to.

On the road, the three of them announced their names. The short one was called Dongwa. The tall one was called Cowdou. Zhong Kui took a closer look and saw that this person indeed looked like a cowpea. He was really tall and thin with no muscles. The other one had fair skin and was a bit gentle.

He had a refined appearance and was called Li Xiucai.

Zhong Kui learned from the fast-talking Dongwa that the three of them were all from Donghua Village. Because of some training, he met the Minister of Arms. The Minister of Arms said that the task assigned to the three of them this time was very difficult.

, if completed, they will be promoted to squad leader.

Zhong Kui asked the three of them, what was the task assigned to them by the Minister of Arms?

A playful smile appeared on the three people's faces, and they said in unison: "Protect you."

Seeing the strange looks on the three people's faces and hearing their words, Zhong Kui smiled. Is it protection or surveillance? Who knows! Or is it banning them?

All three of them wore canvas and semi-rubber shoes, but Zhong Kui wore a pair of old leather shoes given to him by Liu Wengen. These thick-soled old leather shoes were not only cumbersome to walk on, but also very rustic.

There is another thing that Zhong Kui cannot understand, that is, in this day and age, it is a big deal to have a pair of semi-rubber shoes! When you wear them on your feet, your whole body will exude a sense of foreignness, and when you put on a pair of semi-rubber shoes, your whole family will be proud of them.

Seeing that Zhong Kui looked like he was covered in dirt, the three of them stomped their semi-rubber shoes more and more loudly. In addition, they were wearing grass green military uniforms, which made them look even more confident.

plate shape.

Zhong Kui knew that they were literate and that they were all activists. In this era, activists were the most popular.

During the break, one person took out a pen that could draw lines. Zhong Kui was very interested in the pen and asked for it from their hands, then drew a thin black line on the palm of his hand.

"Damn! What a waste." Li Xiucai snatched the pen from Zhong Kui's hand and said with a distressed look.

Zhong Kui didn't understand. Isn't this just for painting? Just painted it like this, what's the waste? He curled his lips and ignored the three of them.

Zhong Kui had no intention of harming anyone. The area ahead was where Liu Wengen encountered the ghost market. He directed the three of them to another road that had not yet been opened up, but these three were too careless and stubbornly ignored them.

His guidance insists on going that way.

"There's a ghost over there." Zhong Kui raised his thick eyebrows and warned in a serious tone.

"Ghost?" Cowdou narrowed his eyes and smiled, making a naughty face at the other two people, and then said, "Have you seen a ghost?"

The two of them realized that Cowdou was going to play a trick on Zhong Kui, so they hurriedly replied: "I have never seen a ghost. What I saw was this living dead ghost."

The three of them laughed wildly at Zhong Kui, and at the same time approached him step by step with malicious intentions.

Zhong Kui looked at the three of them warily and asked, "What do you want to do?"

The tall Cowdou rolled up his sleeves and said with a smug look on his face: "We want to see what special marks you have on your body and why you are different."

"You dare to be so presumptuous?" Zhong Kui was shocked. While guarding against the attack of the three men, he continued to warn.

The three ignored Zhong Kui's warning and were still pressing forward. Looking at this posture, Zhong Kui seemed to understand something. Looking at the dark woods behind him, it was not far from Menling Village. As long as he passed through this forest, he could reach that forest.

At the edge of the purple bamboo forest, you can take a detour to the dry river beach. Only by running in this way can you escape their siege and surveillance.

After thinking about it, Zhong Kui turned around and ran away without hesitation. The three people behind him smiled sinisterly, just like hunters looking at their fleeing prey, and followed closely with a whistle.

The dark woods are dark and humid, with messy leaves at their feet and dense branches above their heads, criss-crossing and making it difficult to tell the north, south, and north.

The three people chasing Zhong Kui also had some scruples when they entered the woods. By the way, these three people also heard some stories about the incident in Menling Village. So when the three people entered the woods, they did not dare to take it lightly and took every step slowly.

Enter slowly, check the terrain, and observe where Zhong Kui may be hiding.

The three of them wandered around in the woods for a while, without even seeing Zhong Kui's shadow. They were about to exit the woods, when a shrill and eerie cry came from another part of the woods.

The voice didn't sound like Zhong Kui's. Could there be someone else in the woods? Cowdou first proposed to search separately, and then got Li Xiucai's support. Dongwa was a little unhappy, he was scared! It's not far from the haunted village.

, I bet that ghost or something is waiting for them to take the bait in the woods!

Dong Wa thought that they would not listen to such boring nonsense. When they were young, they used to play rock, paper, scissors, but now that they are adults, there is no need to play such childish tricks. The three of them made a decision based on the plan of the majority obeying the minority.

.

In the dark woods, there seemed to be something invisible hidden all around. One or two calls of unknown birds sounded eerie and weird at this moment. Maybe the calls just now were made by this shitty bird. The two of them

The bastard is deliberately trying to torment people, deliberately pretending that the chirping of birds is the chirping of humans.

Dongwa nervously glanced at the arrogant branches in the forest. From her current position, she couldn't see the outside at all. The outside world seemed to be covered by a layer of black cloth.

If you can't see the route clearly, there's nothing wrong with just walking in one direction. Thinking this, Dongwa really walked in the opposite direction to where she left her partner just now.

Just as Dongwa was walking in search of direction, a clear "click" suddenly came from behind, just like the sound of something being stepped on.

As soon as he heard a sound coming from the dead woods, he hurriedly asked in a trembling voice: "Who?" When asking the question, Dongwa felt that he was too nervous. The words he asked were all vibrato, and he was afraid of such a person.

The feeling of being in a dark environment.

Dongwa has never forgotten an incident that happened in his childhood. Due to his playful nature, he walked into a large deep and dark forest and lost his way. Finally, he spent a frightening night in the woods until the second day.

The genius was found by the adults. He didn't want to recall the feeling after being lost, and he tried his best to exclude that feeling from appearing in his mind again.

With another 'click' sound, Dongwa didn't have time to ask a second question. He really saw a ghost. The terrifying black flash with a strong wind rushed over from directly opposite him.

Dongwa opened her mouth and couldn't make any sound, so she felt something cold passing by her neck, followed by a stream of scalding hot air that sprayed out...

Cowdou and Li Xiucai didn't really separate at first. They wanted to scare Dongwa. After wandering in the woods for a while, they found no trace of Zhong Kui, so they had to approach Dongwa dejectedly.

The dark woods were like high walls, or more like a huge black curtain, blocking all light. Occasionally, tiny bits of sunlight penetrated in, but were ravaged to pieces by the hurried figures of the two of them.

Cowdou felt that the forest was too quiet. Besides, had Dongwa never made a sound to look for them? He nervously looked at the big trees that blocked the sky and the sun. The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, so he pulled Li Xiucai and said
Chapter completed!
