At first, Yan Yueming thought it was the wanderer who escaped from No. 11 and went to No. 13. But when he looked out with a telescope, he found that it was not the case at all.
"What is that..." Yan Yueming's mouth opened wide, and he was so surprised that he couldn't express it in words.
I saw a black cloud flying across the foggy sky in the early morning. At first glance, the black clouds looked like clouds, but upon closer inspection, they looked like individual birds. However, they were surrounded by black mist, so they were not very realistic.
But when I looked closer, I saw that it was not a bird, but a fish.
Alien-shaped fish, the fins are wings, and each one looks different.
There were black scales, pale eyes, and signs of decay in different locations on the fish's belly, revealing the white fish bones inside. The fish were crowded together, surrounded by black mist, like a large black cloud slowly drifting from the sky.
On the 13th, the dog barked loudly, and Yan Yueming saw some fish opening and closing their mouths as if they were talking. Even though no sound was made, and they were so far apart, his ears were still buzzing.
it's wired.
it's wired.
There was a voice in Yan Yueming's heart telling him not to look anymore, but his body seemed to be frozen and he couldn't move. It wasn't until suddenly there was a strong force behind him that he was knocked down to the ground, and he was finally out of that weird state.
What was that just now? !
Yan Yueming suddenly turned around and saw Lao San's unprecedented serious face. The third child closed all the curtains and lowered his voice to warn him: "Those are hooligans who came from Hudi. Don't look at them casually."
Yan Yueming didn't know what kind of fool or hooligan he was, but he knew that Li Zheng was still outside. He worriedly asked the third child what to do, and the third child said: "Don't worry, he will not die even if we die a hundred times. After all, the harm will last for thousands of years."
"No." Yan Yueming corrected him seriously, with less fear in his expression, "The senior is a good person. And no matter how powerful he is, it doesn't mean he doesn't need to be concerned."
The third child was speechless for a moment, but at this moment, footsteps came from behind.
Yan Yueming walked around him and looked at the door, her eyes brightening slightly, "Senior!"
Li Zheng walked in and saw the woman lying on the ground in the house, as well as Lao San and Yan Yueming hiding secretly under the window. He handed the medicine to Yan Yueming and called Lao San out.
Yan Yueming didn't bother to ask about the situation outside, because it was more important to save people. There was a water cup on the bedside table. He gently lifted the little girl up and gave her medicine.
Although the little girl fell asleep, she did not fall into a complete coma. After Yan Yueming called her, she woke up in a daze. Although she was not quite conscious, she could take the medicine. Yan Yueming gave her some new water, wiped her face with a towel, and then breathed a sigh of relief when she fell asleep again.
The third child had already taken the woman out. When Yan Yueming returned to the living room, he saw the couple tied together next to the coffee table. The woman was still unconscious, but the man had his eyes open, but looked frightened and did not dare to struggle.
Only then did Yan Yueming have the time to ask: "What is that outside? The third child said Hu Di, is that also the name of the place in the gap? Is it the same as the Silent Street Street?"
The third child: "Young man is good, your guess is absolutely correct. If Silent Street is the place with the lowest level of danger, it is the Novice Village, then Hu Di is the maximum level. You must not fall there."
So after you wandered to a quiet neighborhood, you just slept peacefully and didn't leave?
Yan Yueming complained in his mind and thought that maybe, maybe he was lucky enough to enter Novice Village for the first time.
Li Zheng seemed to have seen through his thoughts and said: "The gaps are directly connected to the real world, and most of them are not very dangerous."
Yan Yueming touched her nose, but she felt even happier. Fortunately, he was timid and obedient, and had been hiding here and not running around. Otherwise, he would have gone into other cracks, and the deeper he went, the more dangerous he would have been.
Sure enough, Gou is the king.
"Then what should we do now?" Yan Yueming asked.
"Fools have been appearing in the depths, and they shouldn't float to the outside. This fluctuation is unusual. We have to get out before the next fluctuation comes." Li Zheng still had no words to say, and Yan Yueming entered for the first time. It should not exceed 24 hours.
The third child didn't have any objections. He glanced at the couple and said, "What's going on with these two people? Have you asked clearly? Just now this woman kept saying that her daughter was a devil and even pinched her secretly. Fortunately, she was killed by your little brother. Found it. My guess is that this couple committed something. They were already on the run and were nervous. Then they fell in here and were frightened. In addition to the foul, they would go crazy if they didn't get out quickly. "
Li Zheng: "Going east on the asphalt road is a strange hut."
After just one sentence, the third child's face changed slightly, "Then this family of three is quite unlucky."
Li Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly, "When I came here last time, this asphalt road still had no end. Now, the two gaps are connected."
"Damn." The third child couldn't help but cursed secretly, "I came from the woods in the south, which is the Hopeless Forest."
South? That is the small forest across the river behind No. 9. It is now known that Li Zheng came from the cemetery in the north. The asphalt road leads to the east, and there is a strange hut to the east.
Yan Yueming asked: "Senior, which way did you take when you got out of Puxiazi last time?"
Li Zheng: "Go west, past No. 13, and you will see the original gate of the Silent Street District, which is the door leading to Pu Xiazi Lane, but now the gate is not there. The entrances and exits of the gaps appear randomly and are not always there."
"Good guy, wouldn't it be that I slept through my best chance of escape?" The third child was referring to the time when Yan Yueming came in. If he came in directly from Pu Xiazi, the door must have been still there when he came in. . As long as the third child is awake at that time, he can just go out. Who knows he is sleeping.
Now it seems that the four directions of southeast, northwest and northwest are not working well.
"Why don't we just take the way you came from?" The third child looked at Li Zheng.
"No, that's a one-way passage, you can only come here." Li Zheng answered decisively, "Let's take the waterway."
"Have you gone to see it? When?"
"While you're cooking."
This cooking refers to when the third child was cooking on the 12th. Yan Yueming's guess was correct. During the few hours he fell asleep, Li Zheng had already figured out the situation here.
Speaking of dishes, Lao San stewed a large pot of chicken soup and duck soup. The two were cut into pieces and cooked together in a pressure cooker. Of course the three of them would not eat the pot of soup, and in the end they all fed it to the couple.
"You have to eat and drink enough to have the strength to go on the road." The third child directly brought the pot in front of them, like a life-threatening cook who specializes in cooking decapitation meals for people. He also shook the woman awake vigorously and knocked on the edge of the pot. , said: "Don't dislike it, enjoy the things you brought."
After waking up, the woman was still a little confused, not as crazy as before. Seeing that her husband was back, she subconsciously leaned against him, but he was also tied up. The two of them leaned together, facing the third child's pot of soup, looking pitiful and helpless.
Yan Yueming knew that this was not malicious, at most it was just a bit evil.
This family of three has suffered too much. If they want to go out, they must have good energy and physical strength, so filling their stomachs is inevitable. Compared with what was originally in the quiet neighborhood, it was safer to bring it themselves.
He looked at the time again, it was now 5:41 in the evening.
Li Zheng walked to the window, opened the curtains and took a look. The hooligan outside had not drifted far yet. It was moving very slowly, and even though it was invisible through the window, Yan Yueming felt as if something was pressing on his head. It was very scary. To be on the safe side, they had to wait until the hooligan had completely floated away before they could get out.
Yan Yueming hesitated for a moment and asked, "Where is the homeless man on No. 11? Is he still in the Silent Street?"
Li Zheng turned around and threw the question back to him again, "What do you think?"
Yan Yueming: "Whether the mark was left by him or not, at least the paper ball was, which proves that he was well-intentioned. But he just avoided seeing us. When he was chattering, he also said that he could not be found by 'them'. This 'them' 'Who is it again? He should have the ability to go out, right? Why not go out?"
Li Zheng did not answer. Yan Yueming felt that he must know something, but he couldn't tell him.
Finally, he said: "If you enter the gap again in the future, you will know."
Time passed slowly, and around 6 o'clock, the hooligan finally left.
The third child carried the little girl on his back and asked the couple to support each other. The group of six people left No. 9 and came to the river. The water flow of the small river is almost still. The water is green, and there are faintly visible aquatic plants in it. The bottom cannot be seen. There is still mist on the river surface.
"You can't walk on that bridge in front of you. I've tried it before, and it's very evil." Lao San reminded me.
"No need to cross the bridge." Li Zheng walked at the front and pushed aside the lush water and grass on the river bank. There was a wooden stake hidden there. There was a chain wrapped around the stake. He took hold of the chain and pulled it up with force.
The sound of "crashing" came and splashes surged in the water. Everyone took a closer look and discovered that there was a small wooden boat hidden in the river.
Everyone worked together to pull up the small wooden boat and drain the water from the cabin. During this process, the couple did not cause any trouble. The woman injured her leg and could not help much, while the man came to help pull the boat together. They both seemed quite honest.
Yan Yueming looked carefully at the wooden pile and found that there was indeed a mark on it. A circle with a slash through it means "this way is possible".
The six people boarded the boat one by one, with the third child at the bow and Li Zheng at the stern.
Yan Yueming wanted to help hold the child, but the third child refused him. He looked at Lao San and then at Li Zheng. Although he was confused, he didn't say anything in the end. He sat down in the middle and stared at the couple.
Xiao Ming can also come in handy, he has to watch out and don't allow these two people to cause trouble.
Couple: "..."
Yan Yueming's eyes were too focused, focused and focused. It was really unbearable to stare at them like this. They wanted to move and turn around, but Yan Yueming's eyes immediately followed them again, and they were still very alert and suspicious. With one hand behind his back, he was afraid that others wouldn't be able to see that he was secretly hiding a telescope and was ready to kill someone at any time.
This telescope was specially brought out by Yan Yueming. Li Zheng said he could hold it for self-defense, so he took it.
The boat set off and moved forward slowly along the current, but no one was rowing.
Only then did Yan Yueming realize that they had no juice at all, and couldn't help but look back at Li Zheng. But before he could say his question, he saw Li Zheng standing at the stern of the boat, with his hands in his pockets, his eyes looking straight ahead, and he said calmly: "If there is no wind, don't paddle."
Yan Yueming understood, so he assumed that he understood.
The speed of the water is very slow, so slow that it makes people panic, like a kind of mental torture. The man in the couple wanted to speak several times, and blood oozed from the wound again, but as soon as his eyes touched Li Zheng, he retracted like an electric shock, as if he was scared.
Yan Yueming continued to stare at him with narrowed intelligent eyes.
This stare lasted for a quarter of an hour.
For a full quarter of an hour, in this quiet neighborhood without a trace of bird song or even wind, the six of them sat on the boat and moved forward at a turtle speed. The sailing distance was only from the wooden pile to the bridge.
The third child said they couldn't cross the bridge, but they crossed under it, so it should be okay, right? The bridge is not wide either. Yan Yueming took a quick look and saw that it was about two or three meters wide. It was a very ordinary stone bridge.
But at this moment, a sudden change occurred.
The little girl suddenly woke up, grabbed the third child's arm and bit it hard. Yan Yueming happened to be sitting facing them, and had a panoramic view of this scene. However, before he could give a warning, the woman screamed in fear and started acting crazy again. Her whole body shrank back uncontrollably, as if watching What a terrible scene.
"Devil! Devil! She is the devil!"
She screamed and shrank back, and tried to kick someone with her good foot.
But this is on a boat, and the boat is not stable enough. As soon as she struggled, the boat began to rock. The husband next to her failed to hold her, and she fell straight onto Yan Yueming.
Yan Yueming's body reacted faster than his brain. He threw the telescope over and blocked the woman's mouth horizontally - it was simply wonderful.
"Wow." Yan Yueming himself didn't expect that his hand was so accurate. When he saw the woman struggling, he quickly cast a disapproving look at the man, "Isn't this your wife? You don't care! "
On the bow of the boat, the third child couldn't help but applaud him.
Yan Yueming looked up again and saw signs of bites on the third child. Seeing him looking over, the third child raised his uninjured arm and shook it. The little girl was already tightly wrapped in her coat, and her sleeves were tied tightly around her back.
She seemed to be in very bad condition. There was obviously nothing wrong with her body, even her eyes were normal, without the red bloodshot eyes like her mother's. But with her mouth open and trying desperately to bite someone, she clearly looked like a ghost.
Her body movements were also strange, not very smooth, as if her joints were rusty.
Like, like...
At this time, Li Zheng, who was standing at the stern of the ship and looking at everything, spoke, "Strange cabin. They moved the dolls in the house. This little girl may have regarded herself as one of them now."
Cognitive confusion.
Yan Yueming was enlightened. Yes, how strong can a little girl be? She is the most accident-prone of the three in the family. No wonder the third child refused to hold the little girl in his arms just now.
While talking, the ship finally sailed under the bridge.
Li Zheng raised his head and looked at the bottom of the bridge and said, "Yan Yueming."
Yan Yueming: "Yes."
Li Zheng: "Watch carefully."
Yan Yueming followed the words and looked. The bridge cast a shadow, and they drove slowly into the shadow and into the darkness.
This kind of coolness makes people's skin crawl, but it doesn't feel like thorns on the back. Yan Yueming tried to embolden himself and continued to look forward with his eyes wide open. He saw the bow of the ship slowly sailing out from under the bridge and breaking through the mist.
But just across the bridge, the world outside is completely different.
