When we returned to the place where we had just settled, we found that the old man was using a silver needle to pop the blisters on his hands with Wang Zhishui.
That kind of weed is really a good medicine for removing poisons. It concentrates all the toxins in Wang Zhishui's body on his forearms. The purple color on Wang Zhishui's face has receded. He has woken up, but he is still very weak. The whole forearm is densely covered with it.
The old man was opening the blisters one by one with a needle and releasing the poisonous water. Xiangyu was disinfecting them with alcohol.
The daylight in the woods is very short. As soon as the sun sets in the west, the willow forest is already dark and gloomy.
We had no choice but to pitch a tent in the willow forest and prepare to spend the night.
Originally, each of us had a tent, but in order to drive away the red bats in the Ecstasy, one tent had been sacrificed, so I could only spend the night huddled together with Chen Mo.
After we simply cooked some noodles to eat, we lit a fire outside the tent and then all got into the tent.
On this day, we dug ancient tombs, were chased by giant spiders, and fought with leeches in the mangroves. We were really exhausted and our bones were about to fall apart. As soon as my head hit the pillow, I fainted and nothing happened.
Know.
I don’t know how long I had been sleeping, but I vaguely felt someone pushing me. I was so frightened that I sat up all of a sudden.
Chen Mo made a "shush" gesture toward me, and then pointed at the tent.
I saw a shadow on the canvas of the tent. The shadow looked like a person outside the tent with disheveled hair, lying on the tent where Chen Mo and I were.
The wind outside seemed to be very strong, and the black metal pieces on the soul-inducing flags made a loud "ling-ling-ling" sound when they were struck. The sound was much louder than during the day. It felt like there were thousands of soul-inducing flags emitting at the same time.
People get headaches after hearing this.
Chen Mo gestured to me with his mouth shape, and I finally saw that he was talking about "Xiang Yu".
The shadows on the tent gradually faded away. Chen Mo and I got out of the tent and saw Xiang Yu walking aimlessly deep into the willow forest in the forest, seemingly looking for something.
"Is she sleepwalking?" I looked at Chen Mo doubtfully and asked.
"It should be, you see, all her movements are so weird, completely different from her usual style." Chen Mo said, "Let's go forward and take a look, don't disturb her. If it is really sleepwalking, we can't just take it away halfway."
She woke her up."
Chen Mo and I sneaked close to Xiangyu, and the "Ling Ling" sound never stopped.
Just when we were almost standing behind her, Xiangyu suddenly stopped and turned around.
To be honest, the moment I saw Xiang Yu's face, not only was I shocked, but even Chen Mo, who was always unfazed and calm around me, I could feel his body shaking slightly.
Because Xiangyu's face can only be described in four words, that is, extremely ferocious. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I couldn't imagine that human beings could have such an expression.
At this moment, the first thought that flashed through my mind was what kind of person Xiangyu was and what she had experienced to have such a terrifying expression.
Xiangyu's eyes were originally big, but at this moment, her eyes were more than twice as wide as normal, but her pupils were shrunk extremely small, and the corners of her eyes were raised toward her temples.
The horizontal lines on the nose are tightly twisted into a knot, so that the eyebrows are connected together.
The most frightening thing is that she actually has a grin on her face at this moment. Her upper lip is turned outwards, exposing her entire gum, making that smile feel extremely vicious.
Her eyes kept moving around, seeming to be looking for something, but soon they stopped and stared at me closely. Her eyes seemed to be emitting poisonous silver needles, making me afraid to look over.
The grass in the forest is thick and tall. I'm not sure if she is conscious in her current state and is aware of our existence.
After Xiangyu confronted us for a short while, the face began to say something. There was no sound, but the two lips kept moving rapidly.
My first reaction was that she was chanting some kind of spell.
"Chen Mo, can you read lips?" I poked Chen Mo beside me with my hand and asked.
"I don't understand." Chen Mo answered me.
"She has been staring at me for so long. What does she want to do?" I asked a little timidly.
To be honest, the night is dark and windy, and the willow forest is filled with the sound of the metal pieces in the soul-inducing flags hitting each other. Not far ahead, there is a woman with disheveled hair and a ferocious face who keeps thinking to you.
What, in this kind of environment, is really going to drive me crazy.
If Chen Mo wasn't around, I might have run away.
"It's hard to say, we have to be careful, look at her eyes." Chen Mo said.
In fact, I no longer dared to look at Xiangyu directly, at least I didn't dare to look into her eyes. But when Chen Mo said this, I had to look up again, but I just glanced away, looked away, and then asked
Said: "What's wrong with the eyes?"
"Look, what is her eyes staring at?" Chen Mo said, and I felt a hint of uneasiness in his tone.
When Chen Mo said this, I noticed it immediately. I raised my head suddenly and saw that Xiangyu's empty eyes seemed to have been staring at my neck.
I shuddered, and at this moment I felt cold sweat sliding down my armpits.
Suddenly, another gust of wind came, and the "cooling" sound in the willow forest and the ferocious-looking Xiangyu made goosebumps break out on my back, which was already soaked with sweat.
For some reason, Xiangyu's expression changed, and she felt slightly proud.
She started to move slowly towards me.
"Chen Mo, she's here, what should I do?"
Before I could finish my words, Xiangyu rushed up and grabbed my neck in an instant.
Her strength was so strong that I was almost thrown to the ground by her, and Chen Mo and I couldn't break her hands off.
"Xiang Yu, it's me, I'm Zhou Cang." I said with difficulty.
But at this moment, she was crazy, her eyes were red, and she wanted to strangle me to death.
We were already a little far away from the tent, and our shouts did not alert the old man and Zhang Jisheng.
Chen Mo struggled for a while, but still couldn't break away her hand that was holding my neck. This kid still had some skills on his body. I saw that he lightly hit Xiangyu's elbow somewhere, and Xiangyu's fingers suddenly moved.
Song, I hurriedly took the opportunity to escape from her clutches.
I leaned against the trunk of a willow tree and coughed violently. I felt that in a little while, my life would definitely be in Xiangyu's hands.
I escaped, but Xiangyu didn't stop.
As if the prey she had obtained suddenly escaped, she roared loudly like crazy and rummaged through the weeds. Her strength was so great that several rocks were turned over by her.
"Chen Mo, what should I do? This is not an option. Even if she doesn't go crazy, she will die of exhaustion." I held back my cough and said to Chen Mo.
Chen Mo suddenly raised his head and looked at the soul-inducing flags all over the forest, with an expression of enlightenment.
He began to run back and forth in the forest, his eyes darting through the soul-inducing flags above his head, as if he was looking for something.
"Sure enough," after walking around in the forest for a while, Chen Mo suddenly said these two words, took out something from the bag, lit it with a lighter, and then murmured to himself, and then, with that wisp of flame,
Light a soul-inducing flag on his head.
Just as the soul-inducing flag was burning, Xiangyu fainted, and Liulinzi, which had been ringing all night, suddenly became quiet.
Chen Mo ran back to Xiang Yu and held her in his arms.
I hurriedly ran over and looked at Chen Mo with an incredulous look: "Chen Mo, what are you doing? Why do I feel like I understand it, but I don't seem to understand it?"
Chen Mo didn't answer me, he picked up Xiangyu and walked back.
"Then what did you take out of the bag just now?" I asked persistently.
"amulet."
Chen Mo may have thought that I wanted to ask something else, so he added: "Xiangyu's hand is injured. Let's take her back to the tent quickly. This forest is not clean and we can't stay too long."
Hearing Chen Mo say this, I felt even more chilly behind me. That damn feeling of being followed suddenly came back. I couldn't help but look back. In the empty forest, there was a dark blue light floating in the air.
There was no chirping of summer insects, and I couldn't help but speed up my pace.
