Although I know that based on the distance, it is very reasonable for Mr. Dojo to appear here, but I don’t know why. When I saw him for the first time, Mr. Wang’s words to me still appeared in my mind, no matter what I encountered People, don't go back.
When Mr. Dojo saw me, his face was startled, as if he was a little surprised.
He asked me, little baby, why didn't you come (stay) in the house and come here to cause trouble?
I remembered Mr. Wang's explanation, and I randomly found a reason, saying that there was an interview at the company and I was asked to arrive tomorrow.
Mr. Dojo nodded and said, no matter what, young people always have work that is important. But what can you do with your grandfather’s first seven souls? Which one can help you keep it?
I lied again and said that I would go for an interview first and try to get back in time.
After hearing what I said, he gave me a thumbs up and said, good character, your grandfather has loved you all these years in vain. ----Okay, hurry up and leave, I won't delay you.
After he finished speaking, he turned aside to make way.
I was a little surprised to see him so cheerful. After all, I thought he would find some excuse to ask me to go back with him, but he just greeted me like an elder.
After I said thank you, I passed him and continued walking forward. As I walked, I shook my head and mocked myself for being so sensitive that I was wary of meeting fellow villagers.
No matter what, it's definitely a good thing to be cautious when sailing a ship that lasts for thousands of years.
After I walked about ten steps, the dojo master suddenly shouted from behind me: Temple Qing!
I responded, and then subconsciously turned around, but halfway through, I was stopped abruptly. Mr. Wang’s repeated warnings are still effective.
So I turned around and wanted to ask Mr. Dojo what he wanted me to do. But when I turned around, Mr. Dojo was nowhere to be seen. The mountain road was empty and there was nothing!
But the voice just now was indeed the voice of Mr. Dojo, there was no way I could have heard it wrong.
Could it be that he didn't get enough rest and had auditory hallucinations?
I stood there and waited for a while. After I saw no one, I turned around and continued walking forward.
As for why I didn't see Mr. Dojo, I think it was probably because he turned the corner and couldn't see him. And that sound, maybe I really had an auditory hallucination. After all, I hadn't had a good sleep for a long time, and I had just been running intensely for so long.
After mentally building myself up, I continued to move forward, but this time, the speed of my feet was much faster than before.
Although it is broad daylight and the sun is strong, in this wilderness, if you suddenly hear someone calling your name but there is no trace, you will inevitably feel a little scared.
After walking for about ten minutes, I heard someone calling my name again, and judging from the voice, it was the dojo gentleman just now!
I turned around again, but on this straight mountain road, I was the only one, no one else at all! There is no Mr. Dojo!
Where did this sound come from? ! Am I schizophrenic?
I started to get scared and couldn't care less, so I turned around and started running forward.
On the barren mountain, it was quiet all around. Only my footsteps and my breathing could be heard clearly. This feeling of panic almost made me suffocate.
But I didn't dare to stop, I could only keep running forward.
And when I thought clearly that if something like this happened in broad daylight, it meant that the other person was definitely a ruthless person, I didn’t dare to stop.
I thought it would be like before, if I ran fast enough, I could shake off the voice like the eyes staring at me.
But when I really couldn't run and stopped, the voice appeared again, and it was the same as before, it sounded just a dozen steps behind me, and it was still my name!
I really wanted to keep running, but I really couldn't run anymore, so even when I heard this sound, I just dragged my body and walked forward step by step. As I walked, I felt a stinging pain in my lungs. I knew it was a lack of oxygen in the alveoli.
I can't go anymore, I have to take a rest, otherwise, I may not be scared to death, but I will be exhausted to death by myself.
So I stopped, turned around, and simply stood here waiting to see where the voice calling me came from.
I kept staring at the position about ten steps ahead, thinking that as long as the sound appeared, I would definitely be able to find the source of the sound - even if I couldn't see it, with my ears and eyes, I would definitely know. an approximate location.
However, I waited for a long time, but I didn't hear the sound, and I had already recovered enough to move forward.
I didn't choose to continue waiting, but turned around and planned to continue walking forward. But as soon as I turned around, that voice appeared!
My heart started to feel hairy. Even in the middle of summer, I couldn't help but shudder, and the goosebumps on my arms suddenly appeared.
I was stunned for a moment, but finally chose to move forward.
I don’t know if I was frightened, but I always felt a little cold, especially on my back, as if a ladle of cold water had been poured on me. But it's right to think about it. You must have been sweating all over from running so hard just now. Being blown by the wind on the mountain will definitely make you a little cold.
But I don’t care. After all, the sun is in front of me on the left. As long as I go around the U-shaped bend in front, it will appear on my back and right. When the sun shines on my back, the coolness will naturally be relieved.
It was exactly as I thought. After I rounded the U-shaped bend, my back immediately felt warm.
Just when I was about to breathe a sigh of relief, I suddenly glanced at the shadow on the ground. Then I was so frightened that I didn't dare to move for a moment. A chill went straight from the soles of my feet to my forehead, and my scalp felt tight and numb. His head was buzzing as if it had been hit hard by a hammer.
Under the sun, I saw the shadow of a person behind my shadow on the ground in front of me, less than a punch away!
How can it be! ? How can this be? !
If there was someone behind me, how could I not know? !
I walked along without hearing any footsteps at all. How on earth did this guy stand behind me?
Could it be that... Mr. Dojo?
He has been following me since he gave way to me before? Those sounds were also made by him, but because they were a little soft, I thought they were shouted from a dozen steps behind me?
But if it was really him, why didn't he make any sound when he walked?
The most important thing is, why is he following me, and at such a close distance! ----If he stood still, if I turned around now, I would probably touch his face with my nose!
When I think about how many times I turned around before...
ah! !
I couldn't control it anymore and ran forward.
My eyes were always staring at the shadow in front of me on the left. I saw that when I was running, the figure was also running forward desperately. He was always only a fist away from me, and when he ran, there was no sound under his feet. nothing! !
Why does he have no voice? ? Why is there no sound! ?
I feel like I'm going crazy, what should I do, what should I do now?
When I run, he runs, when I stop, he stops, when I turn around, he turns around... How can I get rid of this guy?
Fall back!
Since he likes to stand behind me so much, if I fall back, I don't believe he can stay!
As soon as the idea came to me, I didn't care whether I would be injured or not. I stopped suddenly and fell straight back. I only heard a clicking sound, like the sound of something being crushed.
I was still worried, and even twisted my body and rubbed it on the ground. After making sure that my back could feel the stones on the mountain road, I stood up.
When I turned around and took a look, I almost didn't lift it up in my breath - I was wearing colorful clothes, blush on my pale face, a pair of white and round eyes with only a little black in the middle, and wrinkled nose and mouth. Together, under their feet is a pair of black longevity shoes--it turns out to be a weird paper man!
No wonder it has no sound, it must be hanging on me!
When I thought about running away with a paper man on my back, goosebumps suddenly appeared on my body.
This must be Mr. Dojo's fault. If I see him again, I will definitely give him a good beating!
As soon as I said these words, a voice came from behind me. He said, I've done something wrong and you're going to hit me?
Said...the voice of Mr. Dojo!
My body seemed to have been tapped, and I was stunned and unable to move. It wasn't until Mr. Dojo stretched out his hand to turn my body that I slowly regained consciousness.
The person standing in front of me is indeed Mr. Dojo, but haven’t I met him a long time ago? Why is he still here?
Mr. Dojo looked at me for a while, and then took the initiative to speak, "Are you crazy?" He was rolling around on the ground just now, but now he's like a mute and doesn't speak.
His tone didn't sound like he was lying, so I stammered, I...I just...touched...you, and the...paper figure behind you...fell backwards...and was crushed...
Mr. Dojo frowned, glanced behind me, and said, "Where did the paper man come from? How can you tell such silly things?"
No paper figures?
I hurriedly turned around and found that there were only stones on the ground that were messed up by my throwing, and there was no trace of the paper man at all!
I said, no, it was here just now, in this position, and it followed me all the way behind me, and there were two shadows when the sun shined on it!
Yes, two shadows!
I hurriedly turned around and looked at my own shadow, there was only one!
Mr. Dojo said, did you not sleep well and have a fever?
I shook my head and said, it's impossible. I just saw a paper man, and it was crushed by me, right here. Just wait for me. It may have been blown away by the wind. If you look carefully, you will definitely find it.
With that said, I went to look for the paper figurine in the grass nearby. It was so light that it must have been blown away by the mountain wind while we were not paying attention.
But I searched several places and couldn't find it. Just when I was about to go to the last place, the voice of Mr. Dojo suddenly came from behind me. He said, found it!
I turned around quickly and saw Mr. Dojo bending down and pulling something in the grass.
I just wanted to say that there must be paper people, but now do you believe it?
But before I could say anything, the scene in front of me left me completely speechless.
I saw Mr. Dojo straighten up, then turn around, open and close his mouth, and say with a smile, little baby, look at it, you are looking for a paper man, are you like me?
This... what kind of dojo-sensei is this? He is clearly the paper man I squashed before!
It was hanging vertically on the mountain road, with a white face and red cheeks, and a smile on its lips, slowly floating towards me...
