When I heard the native boy say this, I couldn't help but smile bitterly:
Apparently, this is another evil legend?
We are probably going to encounter these messy things again during this trip, right?
Zhao Hu asked him what Grandma Ma was and what Grandma Ma’s children were.
Tu Hao'er said: "We have a local legend about Grandma Ma. She was a female princess in ancient times. She was snatched away by soldiers from a hostile country when she went out. Then she came to the desert here, and eventually she and her child died here. , turns into a ghost after death. Every year at night during this season, she will always open the door to the underworld for a few days and let her children come out to play. If we meet her children when we go out at night, we will be in trouble."
As he spoke, he also reminded us with a serious face: "If you go out to pee or something at night in the desert and hear footsteps behind you or someone calling your name, don't look back. Do you understand?"
I thought about it and I guessed it right. I guess something will happen again on this trip.
Sister Yuan yelled back and said: "There will be footsteps behind me at night? Will someone call my name? This sounds very scary."
Zhao Hu smiled and said, "What are you afraid of, Sister Yuan? Aren't those soldiers wearing armor before more scary than this one?"
Sister Yuan shook her head and said that was not necessarily the case. That one just looked scary visually. Just hearing it made people scared. Xiaoye also said that it did sound scary, especially in the vast desert, which is relatively desolate.
I asked the boy: "Have you ever heard that sound?"
The boy nodded calmly: "I've heard it, and I've heard it many times."
Looking at his posture, I guess he was used to this kind of thing, and there must be a way to deal with it, so I was naturally relieved.
"Then if we hear footsteps and don't respond, will it be okay?" I continued to ask.
"For the most part, that's the case, but some children are very playful, and they will also use other methods, such as using trippers under your feet. If you don't fall, you'll be fine. If you fall, you'll be fine. They will catch you."
"Oh my god!" Jianzui smiled bitterly after hearing this: "Then I have to go down quickly and practice walking in the desert. When I wasn't riding a camel, I fell several times just walking."
Zhao Hu smiled and dismissed him: "Are your limbs uncoordinated?"
"Go on, your limbs are uncoordinated."
I asked them to be quiet, and then asked the country boy: "Suppose, I walked to the side to pee, and then when I was peeing, I heard someone calling me from behind. The tent or something must be behind me, then if I don't If I turn around, how do I get back to the tent and camp? Do I have to stand there and wait for them to leave? How do I know when they leave?"
The boy said: "It probably won't work to wait for them to leave. They are very cunning. Sometimes they will stand behind you and wait. When you think there is no movement, you think they are gone, but you will see them when you look back. As long as you see them , you will be in trouble."
"Damn." Zhao Hu cursed: "This guy sounds very difficult to deal with, so what should I do?"
"You just keep walking forward, then slowly turn corners as you walk, and finally make a big circle back to the camp. Anyway, don't turn around immediately. You will definitely see them if you turn around immediately. .”
"No, no, it's too scary." Sister Yuan curled her lips at this moment: "I have to have someone accompany me when I pee at night."
Zhao Hu immediately said: "Sister Yuan, let me accompany you. Xiaoye is also a woman. She must be scared to accompany you. It is more appropriate for me to accompany you."
Sister Yuan rolled her eyes at him: "I didn't ask Xiaoye to accompany me, can't I ask Jianjun to accompany me?"
"No, Jianjun has a lot of evil tendencies, and it's easier for you to be evil if you're with him."
Although I didn’t want to accompany Sister Yuan, when Zhao Hu said this, I still retorted: “Why am I so evil?”
"That's right. You see, when Xiaobianzi and I were robbing tombs before, we never encountered any evil sects. Now that I'm taking you with me this year, we can run into evil sects wherever we go. Do you think it's because you are more evil? "
To be honest, I had thought this in my mind before, but now I definitely can’t admit it. I said it only means that we are unlucky and it has nothing to do with me.
Sister Yuan also spoke for me: "That's right, if there was no Jianjun here, you would have died a long time ago, and I think..."
"There are crabs!"
Suddenly, a sharp shout attracted all of our attention.
Pointing to the sand next to him, he said to us
I looked back at the ground, and there was a crab the size of a ping pong ball, running quickly in the sand towards Sharp Mouth and the camel under him.
"Why are there crabs in this desert?" Sister Yuan asked.
"I know!" Zhao Hu immediately raised his hand to show off: "In ancient times, this desert was actually an ocean. It shouldn't be unusual for crabs to appear here, right?"
Sister Yuan rolled her eyes at him: "What, you mean these crabs have been living since then? Don't I know that the desert was transformed from the ocean?"
"I……"
Zhao Hu didn't know what to say, and then he jumped off the camel, as if he was going to catch crabs.
The boy immediately stopped him: "Don't go there, these are not crabs, they are hell spiders, they are spiders. They are highly poisonous. Even the gods can't save them if they bite you."
"Hell spider? Not a crab?"
Zhao Hu wanted to take a closer look, but the boy immediately scolded him and told him to get on the camel quickly.
The sharp beak was closest to the hell spider. He stretched his neck and looked at it and said: "Indeed, it's not a crab, it's a spider. Because its body is relatively large, it looks like a crab."
"Why does it keep following us? Does it want to bite us?" Xiao Zhuzi asked.
"They like to run after shadows. This is their habit. As long as we walk faster, they can't catch up."
The boy said, and asked Zhao Hu to get on the camel, and then he kicked the camel quickly with his legs, and the camel started running quickly.
Naturally, the hell spider was running behind us, as if it wanted to catch up with us. After falling a dozen meters away from us, it seemed to know that it couldn't catch up, so it gave up and plunged into the sand and disappeared.
Soon, we climbed over the sand dunes and came to the back of the sand dunes. It was still very cool because there was no sun.
We found a relatively gentle place to rest.
Jianzui was probably afraid that he would fall when he turned around and bumped into Grandma Ma's child, or fell when the hell spider was chasing him. He also walked back and forth, trying to practice his running ability in the desert.
To be honest, he was really easy to fall. He fell several times before even taking a moment, which made some of us laugh.
"Brother Jianjun, I've been having a headache these past two days. I suspect that I'm possessed by something evil. Why don't you let me take a look?"
As soon as I picked up the water glass and took a sip of water, Sister Yuan came over with a smile. She put a blanket next to me and sat down.
Before I could say anything, Zhao Hu smiled mischievously and said, "Sister, you are not possessed by an evil spirit. I think you have a headache caused by lovesickness."
Sister Yuan rolled her eyes at him: "I don't miss you anyway."
As she said that, she stretched out her arm and handed it to me: "Jianjun, please take a look for me, or take a pulse first."
