Hearing this, I remembered the sound of diving and the constant sound of paddling coming from all directions when I sank to the bottom of the water and was about to expire.
At that time, I didn’t know what these sounds were, and I thought they were hallucinations of a dying person. Now that I heard what she said, I realized that they were all sinister people who came to snatch my body.
But, do you want the game to be so realistic? The boat owner chased me all the way, and I thought he really wanted to kill me! Anyone with a weak will to survive might be frightened to death on the spot, you know?
Wu Tinghan said, if I can't even deceive you, how can I deceive those underhanded people?
I'm a little surprised. Are they so smart?
If they were really so smart, how could they jump into the water so stupidly?
She shook her head and said, it's not that they are smart, but that they are particularly sensitive to death. Only when they truly feel that you are about to die and have no will to live, will they jump into the water desperately. Otherwise, most of them will just wait and watch. Will really go into the water.
I was shocked when I heard this and said, so you really planned to kill me in the first place?
She didn't care and said, what else?
When I think about the time I put my hand on Yin Ren's shoulder during the day, my scalp feels numb. Let me tell you, you can tell me and let me cooperate with you in a play. Why did you have to scare me so badly?
I heard her snort and say, do you think you are the best actor and can perform that kind of frightened despair?
I thought about it and realized that I really wasn't the one. After all, Wu Tinghan said before that only if I believe that I am going to die, those shady people will believe it.
If they had told me in advance, I would have taken precautions in my mind, knowing that at the last critical moment, they would definitely come to save me. In this way, I would never feel desperate, and those sinister people would naturally not be fooled. .
Let me tell you, since you can't run, then it should be okay to walk faster, right?
Saving people is like putting out fires. Sometimes it may be just a second, the difference between life and death.
But Wu Tinghan did not speed up his pace. He was still walking very smoothly as before, neither too fast nor too slow. So I could only walk for a while, then stop and wait for her for a while. After walking and stopping like this for more than half an hour, I finally reached the upstream bridge.
It is said to be a bridge, but it is actually made of two thick logs. It is better than a single-plank bridge, but not much better.
When I was about to get on the bridge, I was suddenly stopped by Wu Tinghan. She told me to cross the bridge backwards.
I was stunned when I heard this. The bridge was originally just two pieces of wood. You had to be careful when walking on it. If you didn't pay attention, you might fall into the water if your feet slipped. You asked me to walk backwards, it’s strange that I can walk past you!
So I hurriedly turned around and asked her, are you serious?
She nodded and said, "If you walk forward, you may not be able to cross this bridge. It's possible to walk backwards."
I asked, why?
She said that the evil people in this river were all tricked into the water by you. When you were on the shore, they could not do anything to you, but now that you want to cross the river, do you think they will let you leave easily?
I asked again, what’s the difference in walking backwards?
She said, have you ever seen a normal person walking backwards?
Without bragging, I have actually seen people walking backwards, especially in parks or playgrounds in big cities. Those middle-aged and elderly people walk backwards in order to relieve the pain in their waist muscles.
But that was also for the purpose of curing an illness, and it was just like this for a while. He did not walk backwards for many years, and he was not considered a normal person according to Wu Tinghan. In real life, no normal person walks backwards.
Thinking back to the scene when my grandfather crawled out of the coffin and walked up to me backwards, I somewhat understood what Wu Tinghan meant - she was asking me to pretend to be a sinister person to numb the carelessness. Those shady people who were tricked into me.
She said, that's pretty much what it meant. Also, remember, when you cross the bridge, no matter what happens, don't look down, just keep walking back.
I was originally a little afraid of the dark water, but when she said that, I felt even more scared.
I asked, what would happen if I looked down? What will you see?
She glanced at me and said coldly, "Don't you know it just by looking down?"
I hurriedly waved my hand and said, "I won't look at it, I won't look at it until I die."
With that said, I climbed onto the bridge backwards, then looked up, trying to keep my sight as empty as possible, so that I could put all my energy on the soles of my feet to feel the direction of the wood under my feet to avoid stepping in the air.
After getting on the bridge, I didn't dare to lift the soles of my feet. I only dared to slide back against the wood, so that I could always ensure that the soles of my feet were on the wooden bridge and would not fall into the water no matter what - I have to say, In many cases, I am very witty!
Wu Tinghan followed me, and she and I faced each other, walking step by step to the other side of the river.
The walking went smoothly all the way, and it was not as exaggerated as Wu Tinghan said. In addition, I became more and more skilled in walking, and I knew the control of strength and center of gravity, so my previous nervousness began to Gradually it dissipated, thinking that this kind of thing wouldn't bother me at all.
Just after the thought passed, I faced a challenge. When I moved my feet back against the bridge, I found that the heel of my right foot was blocked by a wooden bump. If I wanted to move over, my feet had to leave the wooden bridge. surface.
But this did not bother me. After all, it is normal to have a few wooden bumps on a thick piece of wood. I have also encountered a few small wooden bumps before, but they were very small and I could get over them by raising my feet a little. So although this one is bigger than the ones I've encountered before, it's all within my control.
I first shifted my weight to my left foot, then moved the heel of my right foot up along the wooden bump. After crossing the wooden bump, I pressed my toes against the wooden bump and slowly moved down. As long as the front sole of my foot was firmly planted, Slide back a little further, and if the entire sole of your foot can touch the ground, you're done.
But when I crossed the wooden bumps, stepped firmly and then slid back, I found that I had stepped on nothing!
This means that the place where I stepped firmly was the place where the wooden bumps protruded, and I have not yet found the real trunk of the wooden bridge. So I had to swing my feet from side to side to find the main trunk of the wooden bridge.
After a while, the entire sole of my foot was firmly planted, indicating that I had found the position.
But when I shifted my weight, I always felt a little awkward, because I found that an angle was formed between the soles of my feet. This means that the two single-plank bridges are no longer parallel, but one of them turns to the right!
Did I go wrong?
And when I moved my left foot over, I finally felt relieved. It's not that I went wrong, but that the double wooden bridge changed direction.
I have seen wooden bridges in rural areas. Generally, they will not change direction on the river. There is only one possibility for changing direction like this, and that is that I am about to reach the shore.
So I confidently continued to retreat using the previous method. Because of my skillful movements, my speed was much faster than before.
Just when I lowered my gaze and prepared to show off to Wu Tinghan, I suddenly discovered that Wu Tinghan was not directly opposite me at all, but to my left and front!
It shouldn’t be! She is walking behind me. Even if I turn right, before she has time to turn, her body should be in front of me to the right; or if she has also turned, her body should be directly opposite me. That's right.
So no matter whether she turns or not, her body should not appear in front of me on the left!
Not only that, because I had retreated far enough at this time, so even if I didn't look down, my peripheral vision could bring Wu Tinghan's entire body into view.
It is precisely because of this that even if I don't want to, I can see from the corner of my eye that under her feet is a double wooden bridge composed of two pieces of wood. It is straight and smooth, and there are no wooden bumps on the entire bridge deck!
If this is the case, what are those wooden bumps I encountered before?
I could no longer control my head, and slowly lowered my head. Then, I saw my feet stepping on two wet and upward heads. Seeing me lowering my head, the corners of their mouths involuntarily formed a strange smile...
