Everything happened very quickly.
Li Zheng opened the door and faced Ang Ding, while Wen Renjing and Yan Yueming jumped out from behind him and fled in the opposite direction. The moment the gunfire rang out, Yan Yueming looked back and saw a blur in front of his eyes, as a black and white figure passed in front of him like lightning.
He could barely tell what it was until he took a second look.
The black and white figure flashed on the chandelier in the corridor, hanging upside down and waving its sharp claws towards Li Zheng below. Only then did Yan Yueming see clearly. It was a honey badger doll about one meter tall. It had black fur and the iconic white flat head. It wore a purple hairpin top hat crookedly above its ears, even if it was hanging upside down. It won't fall down even if it's on.
Of course Li Zheng would not be caught by him. He suddenly took a step back and leaned against the wall. While avoiding the claws, he hit the wall behind him with his gun butt.
There was a lighted sconce on the wall. As the light flickered with tremors, the wall flipped over, turning Li Zheng and Ondine, who rushed toward him quickly, into the wall at lightning speed.
Yan Yueming was so shocked that he stopped and was pulled away by Wen Renjing again. As he ran, he gave Yan Yueming some popular science, "Although the rules are changing, it is impossible for them all to change. The reason why the Strange House is strange is not just because of the dolls, but because of the house itself. Don't worry, seniors are familiar with this place!"
The two of them came upstairs as quickly as possible. They didn't need to look carefully before they saw an open door. The room was in a mess, full of signs of a fight, doll limbs scattered on the carpet, and an unconscious man.
"Sorry." Wen Renjing immediately started rummaging around on his body, while Yan Yueming carefully guarded his surroundings.
Very good, nothing unusual.
"Come and help take off his clothes."
"T-Take all naked?"
"Leave a pair of underwear?"
"OK."
It's hard to say that the senior brothers have a good understanding of each other, but they mainly rely on Yan Yueming's cooperation. He was a little nervous, a little scared, and a little embarrassed, but he still stripped her naked very quickly.
Wen Renjing turned the person over and said: "That gun is probably something circulated in the black market. The model is outdated. This person has no identification documents and no tattoos, but there are many scars and old marks. Old wounds show that he was not a good person in the first place.”
After finishing speaking, he reached out his hand again when he heard the scene and said: "Give me the stick."
Yan Yueming looked around and immediately picked up a metal handle that had fallen from nowhere and handed it over. Wen Renjing weighed it in his hand, and then said: "Hold him down for me, I want to pry his mouth open."
Pry his mouth open?
Yan Yueming didn't understand why at first. He was already unconscious. How could he be allowed to speak? But he quickly realized that this sentence meant literally.
Wen Renjing transformed into a repairman and used a very simple physical method to forcefully pry open the person's mouth. Yan Yueming's statement that he was not frightened was a lie. He looked at the man who had his head knocked open and his clothes stripped off, and then looked at his 14-year-old primary school principal, and he understood the word "senior". A deeper understanding.
There is a reason why a senior is a senior!
Yan Yueming went out of her way to find a candlestick for lighting for her senior. Wen Renjing used the candlelight and carefully examined the man's teeth. While looking at them, she muttered: "Actually, my previous ambition was to study medicine, and I can become a forensic doctor in the future. With my parents’ connections, let me find the back door, and if I die, I will be the one to do the surgery.”
Senior, you have learned enough complicated things, that’s it.
Stop saying such scary things.
At this moment, Wen Renjing seemed to have discovered something. A light of excitement flashed in his eyes. He opened the man's mouth and showed it to Yan Yueming, "Look, there is something stuck in the tooth. Let's get it out."
But what could be hidden in the teeth?
poison?
Yan Yueming, who had watched too many TV dramas, had this as the first thought in his mind, but Wen Renjing wrapped his hands with clean cloth and assisted with metal handles in a violent and elegant way. , and pulled out a sharp thorn that looked like a fish bone.
Yan Yueming: "What is this?"
Wen Renjing put it under the candlelight and took a closer look. The white thorns were illuminated by the light and had a vague transparent texture. "The thing in a certain gap, although it looks like a fish bone, is actually a plant thorn. In the early years, there were wandering people A method developed by researchers, inserting this thorn into the nerves can resist the invasion of world consciousness to a certain extent."
Yan Yueming just thought about it for a moment and then took a breath of cold air, "Using pain to stay awake?"
Wen Renjing: "On the one hand, it's the pain, and on the other hand, it's determined by the characteristics of the spike itself. In short, sticking the spike through the gap between the teeth is the most effective method, because the dental nerve is close to the brain."
Yan Yueming suddenly looked at men differently. These men were so cruel. When he was a child, he could pull out his teeth and roll on the ground.
What should Xiao Ming do?
Xiao Ming can't defeat them at all!
Wen Renjing spoke faster, "It is impossible for ordinary wanderers to know this, so I judge that he has an accomplice."
Upon hearing this, Yan Yueming immediately looked out the window. The window here was also broken. He wanted to try to help, so he lurked over proactively and carefully, avoiding the mirror and all the doll limbs. Then he cautiously leaned out of the window, and then shook his head towards Wen Renjing, "There's no one outside."
Wenrenjing:
"Then let's put the matter of our accomplices aside and find the exit."
Yan Yueming: "When you came here last time, where did you go out from?"
Wen Renjing pointed upward.
A moment later, the two of them lurked into the living room on the first floor.
Their pace could be described as sneaky. Wen Renjing was not afraid of trouble, but he did not dare to be too pretentious. If an accident happened, he would be reprimanded by the seniors and would be embarrassed in front of Yan Yueming. A 14-year-old junior high school student is already very concerned about face.
The most important thing is that Yan Yueming doesn't even have a pair of shoes. Not to mention whether there are shoes suitable for him in the strange hut, he doesn't dare to wear them, so the two of them can only be careful and careful.
There are many candlesticks in the living room downstairs, and the candlelight shines brighter than upstairs. But the furniture here is all dark, making the room feel eerie.
Looking around, there are dolls, big and small, everywhere on the wall hooks, on top of the closet, and on the sofa.
Yan Yueming kept her head down the whole time, not daring to look directly at the doll. At the same time, Wen Renjing's faint voice drifted into her ears, "I swear on my teacher's honor that the fire in the fireplace was extinguished when I came here last time. So. We climbed up the chimney and left the gap."
But now? The charcoal fire in the fireplace was burning brightly.
"Because Ang Ding is back?" Yan Yueming speculated.
"It's possible." Wenren nodded.
"Senior, look, there are water stains on the carpet from the door to the living room. It's snowing outside, which means the door has just been opened." Yan Yueming added.
Just at this moment, there was a violent vibration inside the wall. "Boom!", "Boom!", "Boom!" Like an earthquake, the whole house seemed to be shaking.
"Bah!" A duck doll suddenly fell from the top of the closet.
Wen Renjing had no time to think about whether this had something to do with Li Zheng, "Junior, open the door!"
Yan Yueming was also very discerning and sprinted towards the door with bare feet, but when he pressed the door handle, the door did not move at all. He tried a few more times in disbelief, even hitting the door with his shoulder, but to no avail.
"The door can't be opened!" Yan Yueming didn't know whether it was locked from the outside or some kind of force majeure. He turned to look at Wen Renjing. Wen Renjing was seen picking up the fire tongs beside the fireplace, picking up the fallen doll and throwing it into the fire.
Yan Yueming is familiar with this matter, he did it before in House No. 9 in Quiet Street.
That time, the fire was just and burned the strange red water cup, allowing Yan Yueming to save the day. But this time, the seemingly lifeless doll seemed to come to life after being thrown into the fire. It screamed and crawled out of the fire and rushed toward them. It was as fast as a giant spider and its posture was like a strange species.
In short, evil.
The two fled quickly.
Yan Yueming is more familiar with running away.
At the same time, Yan Yueming began to think about another thing, that is, is the primary school principal reliable? Sometimes he is quite reliable, but sometimes he seems to be unreliable, and he always jumps back and forth between the two.
"I know there is another possible exit, go this way!" Little Zhuge from Nancheng planned to earn some face for himself and took Yan Yueming all the way.
The two of them ran in front, and the "angry" doll chased behind.
On the other side, deep in the gap.
On the frozen water, a patchwork awning boat was frozen in the middle of the river, unable to move. Lian Shan, a member of the first team of the search and rescue team, wrapped in a thick leather jacket, was lighting a fire in the bow of the ship to cook. If Yan Yueming were here, he would definitely recognize that this small stove was taken from the thatched house.
Beside the ship, Li Heping was squatting on the ice and carefully observing the situation below, while Feng Yuanhua, the deputy captain of the first team, was holding a telescope and looking into the distance.
Both of their expressions were slightly solemn.
It was the time of day and night here. Although there was no sun in the sky, the river was frozen, the banks were dry and barren, and everything was full of cold tones, they could also tell that the sun was going down.
In other words, the moon is coming out soon.
"Woof! Woof woof woof!"
A powerful barking sound came from the front, and from the corner of the river ahead, a big, vigorous yellow dog suddenly appeared. The big dog was pulling a wooden plank to make a sled. There was a person standing on the wooden plank, it was Que Ge.
Que Ge almost couldn't hold the car steady, because Dahuang was so fierce, and he just kept rushing forward, not caring about the life or death of the person. She could only see the right moment, and when she was about to reach the awning boat, she quickly abandoned the car to escape, and then rolled to release her strength, so as not to step through the ice at once.
Li Heping looked up at her, "How's the front going?"
Que Ge's face was almost frozen, and his lips were chapped, but his eyes were clear and he said solemnly: "It's the Snowy Field. We've come to the deep gap."
About four hours ago, their team of four people and one dog set out from the river in the small mountain village to explore. The small mountain village is surrounded by mountains. If they want to go out, they must pass through the mountains.
Not to mention the many thrills they encountered along the way, they finally successfully left the small mountain village surrounded by mountains and followed the water to the outside.
Although the small mountain village has day and night changes, the season actually stays in spring, where the scenery is beautiful, the air is fresh, and the climate is pleasant. But as soon as he came out, the temperature plummeted.
Needless to say, they had arrived at another gap.
