Every time Xiao Lan tried to get up from the ground, an ax would be swung from above his head. Xiao Lan simply climbed up in the rice field using his hands and feet.
She was holding the map in her mouth and avoiding the scarecrow's attack in a panic. When she raised her head, she didn't know when she had crawled to the door of a small hut.
This small thatched hut was only half a person tall and looked shaky. It felt like it couldn't even hold back the breeze, but Xiaolan had no other choice and buried her head in through the dog hole-sized entrance.
After waiting for a while, there was no movement.
Xiaolan huddled up in the thatched house and looked outside.
The scarecrow leaves and approaches another player.
On the map, his green point has moved into the green circle, and a few seconds later, another player has also moved into the green circle.
Therefore, these small huts are safe areas.
On the road leading to the entrance of the building, there is a small hut, about a hundred meters away.
Xiaolan stuck her head out.
There aren't any scarecrows around, so maybe now is a good time to move.
Xiaolan took a deep breath and rushed out.
A few wisps of wind blew behind him, and with a crack, Xiaolan's heel was almost chopped off.
Thump, thump, thump...
Xiaolan knew that there must be more than one scarecrow behind her at this moment, so she gritted her teeth and didn't dare to look back, and bumped into the new small hut.
The scarecrows immediately hid their axes behind their backs, but Xiaolan still saw that the ax head of one of the scarecrows was covered with dripping red liquid, and something seemed to be shining in the light in the scarecrow's mouth.
The scarecrows dispersed, and peace returned to the surrounding area.
Xiaolan dug a hole in the thatched house and quietly looked at the entrance of the building less than fifty meters away from her.
The building is about two stories high, with red bricks and a red roof. A large dark double iron door is tightly closed. There is a path leading to the front. Xiaolan is now on the side of the building and can only cross through the rice fields.
The other two players were still squatting in the thatched hut, and they were probably paying attention to each other's actions.
Only fifty meters later, Xiaolan took a starting stance.
rush!
Xiaolan rushed out of the small hut. Strangely, this time she didn't feel the scarecrow chasing her. On the contrary, Xiaolan saw the scarecrow patrolling not far away. The scarecrow noticed the movement and just watched from a distance.
He glanced at her with no intention of killing her.
What's going on?
Xiaolan ran forward and quickly approached the big iron gate.
Soon... soon...
I'll be there soon!
Just...win...
Xiaolan huffed and puffed, but the short distance of fifty meters didn't seem to shorten.
Turning around, the thatched house behind him was already so far away that he could hardly see it.
There wasn't a single scarecrow around.
Xiaolan quickly looked down at the map. She was standing between the small hut and the entrance of the building. The other two players were moving, but they did not approach the building directly, but ran towards...
Xiaolan looked up.
At the end of the path leading to the building, there was another thatched house. That house seemed slightly larger, and the other two people were approaching there.
Xiaolan didn't believe it and ran a few steps towards the building.
On the map, my position has not changed at all.
There is no way to get through from here.
Xiaolan believed it, turned around and ran forward along the path.
It started to move, and my green dot finally started to move.
At this time, the three people were approaching the last thatched hut.
Then, Xiaolan saw two other players.
One of the two ran from the left, the other from the right, and all the scarecrows followed them. Xiaolan walked through the rice fields and walked around in front of the player on the left, and got into the thatched house ahead of the two of them.
Bang!
A loud noise appeared in front of the house, and the big black iron door rumbled open. Xiaolan moved her legs and feet, intending to catch her breath before rushing out. With a clatter, a person suddenly got into the thatched house, and was caught by the man squatting at the door.
Xiaolan tripped and the two fell into a ball.
Immediately afterwards, the third player also ran in, stepped on the backs of the two of them, and plunged into the straw pile.
The three of them fell half to death before fighting. They pulled out the straw poles above their heads and looked at each other.
The girl who fell with Xiaolan was a girl with a ponytail. There was a scratch on the girl's face. The person whose head was still stuck in the straw must be a boy. He had just pulled out his head and was still groping in the straw with his hands.
"The door is open." Xiaolan didn't know whether she should talk to her opponent, but she couldn't hold it back and opened her mouth anyway.
"Is it on?" The boy squinted his eyes and looked outside, "Is it on? I'm sorry, have you seen my glasses?"
"Glasses?"
The boy lowered his head and rummaged around, "My glasses are still in the haystack, why can't I find them? It's strange..."
Both girls were a little embarrassed.
But soon...
"What color are your glasses?"
"Black, black-rimmed glasses, square frames."
"Are you sure you fell here?"
"I was wearing them before I came in. I can't see clearly without my glasses. I must be here..."
"Hey, this!... Oh, I'm sorry, I saw it wrong..."
"How could it be missing?..."
"You should have just pulled out your head and glasses!"
"I didn't pay attention. I just pulled out the head in a hurry. The grass smells really bad, it smells like cow dung..."
Xiaolan stopped and smelled her hand. At this moment, there was a sudden clang outside the thatched house, and the movements of the three people in the house suddenly stopped.
Xiaolan came to the door.
"What's wrong? What's wrong?" The girl with the ponytail also came over.
"What's wrong? What's wrong?" The boy also came over.
"Can you see? Go find your glasses." The girl pushed the boy back.
"Is this...a cart?" Xiaolan pointed to the extra cart filled with straw at the door of the thatched house, "And the big iron door is closed."
The girl with the ponytail tidied her hair, "Okay...it seems so."
"I found it! I found it!" The boy finally put on his black-rimmed glasses with a piece of straw still stuck in it and came to the door, "There wasn't this cart just now."
"What are they doing?" The girl straightened her back.
The eight scarecrows no longer wandered around, but lined up neatly on both sides of the path. They turned around and looked towards the hut where they were hiding.
"Wow," the boy shrank his neck, "Did you just see that person being killed?"
The girl quickly turned around with a gossipy look on her face, "Did he really get killed?"
"Really, I saw it with my own eyes," the boy grinned, "It was so tragic. The scarecrow raised the knife and dropped it. After the man died, he was dragged to the door by the scarecrow, which is the main door."
"What happened next?"
"I didn't see him after that, so I had to run for my life."
As they were talking, there was another creak, and the handle of the cart seemed to be lifted up by some force. After that, the wheels began to turn, and the cart drove up the path and towards the entrance of the building.
The scarecrow's eyes followed the cart to the big iron gate. The cart bumped against the iron gate a few times, backed away, and then drove back.
"It's back..." The girl raised her chin and thought for a moment, "Does... we have to follow the car?"
"It's possible." Xiaolan agreed.
The boy also nodded, "Look, the scarecrow won't attack that cart... let's do an experiment."
After he finished speaking, he rolled up a ball of straw with his hands and threw it out the door. The ball of straw rolled right in front of the scarecrow closest to them. In an instant, the scarecrow pulled out the giant ax behind him, and silver light flashed, and the ball of straw rolled out.
It was chopped into a pile of tangled grass and blown away by the wind.
"Look, they attack everything except pushcarts." The boy crossed his arms.
Ponytail turned his head and glanced at Xiaolan and the boy, "It's okay. The three of us are very thin. We can hide in that car. When the car comes back next time, we will drag the car in and hide it in the grass."
Xiaolan and the boy looked hesitant.
"What's wrong?"
"What if that doesn't work?" The boy pushed up his glasses, "Are we all wiped out?"
Have they forgotten that the other party is actually their opponent?
"Then...how about finding someone to try first?" the girl said.
"Then..."
"Me."
"Me."
"Me."
The three people opened their mouths at the same time.
"First of all, let's exclude you." The girl patted Xiaolan's head. "You are a child and a short winter melon."
?
Dwarf winter melon?
"Then exclude you," the boy patted the girl on the shoulder, "You are a girl and you are already injured."
"What's wrong, girl? You can't possibly run faster than me." The girl said unconvinced.
"Are you kidding?!"
"Brother, do you think I didn't see you running just now?" The girl rolled her eyes, "I was even afraid that you would lose your glasses. This little girl has seen my speed before. Ask her."
"Ah?" Xiaolan was confused for a moment, but quickly realized, "Oh, that super fast person is you..."
I originally thought it was a strong and powerful man, but I didn’t expect it to be a long-legged man with a ponytail!
"But I have... I'm different," the boy stepped forward and walked out of the door, "Don't worry, I'll go check it out."
"Hey, come back!...I told you I can run fast!"
"You ran so fast and you got stabbed in the face!"
"I mean...you two are hiding! Eight scarecrows chopped me down together! If it's you, try it!"
The two of them were fighting over the opportunity to fight and sacrifice. Although Xiaolan couldn't understand clearly, after looking around, he tugged on the sleeves of the two of them and said, "How about the three of us come together."
The two people, who were about to fight, looked at Xiaolan.
Xiaolan pointed to the big iron door, "The door is locked, the key..."
She pointed to the scarecrow closest to the iron door and said, "The key seems to be in its mouth."
The wind rustled across the rice fields.
"What did you say?" The boy sniffed.
"Look, isn't there a lock on the big iron door?" Xiaolan gestured with her hands, "That means we have to have a key. I noticed that every time the cart came to the scarecrow,
When it goes up, it will open its mouth. The scarecrow attacked me. When it attacked me, I saw something reflective in its mouth. Now I speculate that that is the key."
"How did you recognize the scarecrow?" the girl asked.
"Because that was the scarecrow that killed the first person," the boy said blankly, "only its ax head was dripping with blood."
The cart just arrived at the last scarecrow, and sure enough, it opened its mouth, and in the sunlight, the scarecrow's mouth glowed with golden light.
"So," Xiaolan returned to the topic, "it's best for us to set off together. If we are discovered, the faster girl will walk first to distract the scarecrow. I will grab the key and throw it to you. You can open the door quickly.
, it’s done.”
Ponytail thought, "That's right..."
"I'll grab the key and you can open the door." The boy stood up, "After all, you are a short melon."
"You are the short winter melon!"
Xiaolan ran up angrily, the boy had already dragged the cart over, and the three of them hid in the haystack on the cart in full view of everyone (the scarecrow).
Sure enough, the car started moving on its own.
The three of them were so nervous that they dared not breathe. Slowly, the appearance of the first scarecrow appeared between the gaps in the straw.
The hand made of straw moved slightly, and the scarecrow turned around and watched the cart go away.
They really don't attack straw carts!
Creak... creak...
Xiaolan counted in her heart: 6, 7, 8...
They came to the last scarecrow.
"I saw it!" The boy turned over.
The car squeaked, the scarecrow's head drooped, and his button eyes seemed to stare at them through the layers of straw.
The cart continues to drive.
The scarecrow's jaw slowly opened, and a golden key lay in its mouth made of straw, shining brightly.
"Quick!" Xiaolan and the girl raised their hands, and the boy stepped on their arms and jumped out using their strength.
There was a flash of silver light, and the ax in the scarecrow's hand rose.
Xiaolan also jumped out of the cart and hugged the scarecrow's hand.
The boy was riding on the scarecrow and desperately pulling out the straw from its face. The scarecrow's mouth had been closed. Xiaolan thought that this task was really arranged reasonably. After all, boys have more experience in finding things in straw piles.
The other scarecrows came rushing over, jumped up with their ponytails, shouted something, grabbed the oilcloth on the head of one of the scarecrows, and ran out.
The scarecrows followed clumsily, with their ponytails controlling their speed, not letting them catch up, but also giving them the illusion that they could catch up immediately. Xiaolan took a look, and she was worthy of being chased by eight scarecrows.
The players really lived up to expectations.
Xiaolan desperately controlled the scarecrow's hand and even opened her mouth to take a bite. Although it was of no use, she finally understood what the boy was talking about the smell of cow dung.
"I haven't found it yet!" Xiaolan spat out the straw in her mouth.
"Come on, come on!" The boy put his whole arm into the scarecrow's mouth, "It's swallowed! Anyway, it fell down...right away!...Ah, I touched it!"
The boy's hand pulled out with a swish, and a bunch of straw flew away.
"Hurry up and open the door!" Xiaolan felt that the scarecrow's power to lift the ax was getting stronger and stronger.
The boy jumped to the ground and rushed to the door, and the door lock rattled.
"Little sister!" Xiaolan shouted, pulling her neck, "You can come back!"
squeak--
The iron door opened in front of them, giving off a strong smell of dust.
