There is a term called "Curiosity Killed the Cat", and there is another effect called "Horror Movie Effect". Both of them have similar meanings, that is, you know that watching it will not be good, but you still want to watch it.
Feng Wu is like this now. Her heart is beating wildly, but she has an inexplicable impulse. This impulse makes her look back, just for a moment.
Reason tells Feng Wu that he can't see it at this moment, but there is an idea in his mind. This crazy idea keeps asking you to take a look.
‘Just take a look…just take a look…it should be fine’
The voice in his mind kept echoing, and Feng Wu couldn't help but look behind him.
But at this time, Zhang Cundao hugged her, covered her eyes, and shouted in a low voice: "Don't look! Don't listen!" A pure spiritual light came from his hand, which made Feng Wu suddenly tremble,
My mind is much clearer.
Zhang Cundao's pure aura passed by, but his face turned pale and he couldn't help but want to turn his head. But the next moment, he bit the tip of his tongue and used the severe pain and the pure aura to divert his attention.
"Can't see...can't see...can't see..." He murmured to himself in a low voice, but his eyes were getting redder and redder.
From the shore to the small glowing cave, the distance to the left and right is only a dozen meters, which is the distance that can be reached by "taking dozens of steps". It was this distance that Zhang Cundao felt as if he had run several marathons before he finally touched it.
The edge of the cave.
The dim light in the cave was a life-saving straw at this time. Zhang Cundao hugged Feng Wu tightly and refused to let her look back. However, he staggered forward and crawled into the cave.
The entrance of the cave is not big, and ordinary people have to bend down to get in, and only one person can pass through at a time. Zhang Cundao let Di Lao go first, and he himself was behind.
Di Lao rushed in and squeezed into the hole. Zhang Cundao only paused for a moment when he felt a smooth hand touching his shoulder blade...
He shuddered all over and didn't dare to touch it with his hands. He could only tighten the skin all over his body, and then followed Di Lao into the hole.
He knelt down, holding Feng Wu in his arms, and moved forward on his knees. Suddenly, something slippery, like a tongue, wrapped around his ankle.
The hairs on Zhang Cundao's back suddenly rose, and he shook his legs subconsciously. The shaking didn't matter, the smooth tongue seemed to be excited at once, and it licked along the ankle and towards the thigh!
"Ignore it! I can't let it feel that I feel him!" Zhang Cundao screamed in his heart. He resisted the twitching of his thighs and continued to crawl into the cave.
At this time, Zhang Cundao also felt Feng Wu in his arms trembling all over, as if he was about to scream.
He immediately covered her mouth and said quickly in her ear: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm here! Don't care, don't care!"
He comforted Feng Wu and continued to drag her forward. Fortunately, there was only one entrance to this narrow cave. The further back you went, the bigger the cave opened and the brighter it became.
Zhang Cundao finally got up. He picked up Feng Wu and ran towards the light.
Finally, he suddenly felt a warmth, and the red and white lights in his body suddenly became active, and what seemed to be suppressing them disappeared.
Zhang Cundao was overjoyed. But at this moment, his body suddenly stagnated, as if something had grabbed him, and Feng Wu in his arms also froze.
Zhang Cundao was horrified. He hugged Feng Wu tightly, because Feng Wu was about to resist at this time! There was only one step away from the entrance of the cave. It was precisely because of this step away that everyone who persisted here felt anxious. At this time
, they will subconsciously break free and run towards the final light.
But if you do this, what will greet you will not be light, but an abyss.
"Relax, relax. He can't stop you. There's no need to struggle or resist. Just pretend he doesn't exist..." Zhang Cundao continued to say to Feng Wu in his arms. Then he walked forward firmly.
Finally, his body entered the light, breaking through a certain barrier in an instant and entering a ray of light.
The moment he entered the light, Zhang Cundao couldn't bear it anymore. He looked back. He saw some kind of cave entrance behind him. There were only two pine trees there, and between the pine trees, there was a large bluestone.
The dungeon in front suddenly burst into laughter, and he shouted loudly: "It almost scared me to death... so scary..."
Zhang Cundao was so weak that he fell to the ground. He wiped the non-existent sweat on his head, touched his legs, and laughed. This was a kind of laughter that lasted for a long time.
Only Feng Wu sat in Zhang Cundao's arms ignorantly. After a long time, she asked: "Brother Zhang, what is that? Why are you so scared."
Zhang Cundao shook his head and said: "I don't know what it is. Don't be curious about what it is. The more curious you are, the more he will come to you, and the closer you are to him, the more terrifying you will feel. Stay ignorant, stay
Respect and keep a distance are the best ways to deal with that thing."
Zhang Cundao's perception of that kind of thing was also hazy, but deep down in his heart, the pure aura told him not to be curious about that thing. If it hadn't been for the pure aura this time, their group might have found out where it was.
"Okay, don't think about those troublesome things, we should have arrived at Taoyuan Township." He said to Feng Wu with a smile.
Yanran here looks like a water town in the south of the Yangtze River. Not far ahead, there is a gurgling small river. Several tree trunks are stretched across the small river to form a small wooden bridge. Looking further into the distance, there are several black tiles and white walls.
The house is hidden among the trees.
Quiet and peaceful, this is Zhang Cundao's first impression.
"Let's go." Zhang Cundao took Feng Wu, and everyone gathered their mood and walked towards the houses.
Slowly walking in, there are fertile fields around. The half-human-high rice has already eared, exuding a faint fragrance of rice. In the shallow water of the field, you can see small fish swimming. A frog seemed to be disturbed and let out a "wow" sound.
Jump into the depths of the field.
Several old farmers who were weeding in the fields heard the noise and looked up at Zhang Cundao and others.
They stared at these strangers with surprise in their eyes.
Zhang Cundao smiled friendly at them and slowly walked to a house.
This is a typical farmhouse courtyard. A small courtyard is surrounded by flat earth walls. This fence is not to prevent outsiders from entering the courtyard, but to prevent the chickens in the courtyard from running out of the courtyard. There are several trees planted at the entrance of the courtyard, which seem to be pomegranates.
, jujube trees, plum trees and persimmon trees.
Under the tree, there was a wooden table and several bamboo chairs. A middle-aged aunt who was feeding the chickens with a dustpan saw Zhang Cundao and others, she was slightly startled, and then smiled and said: "Are you foreigners?"
Zhang Cundao nodded and responded: "Yes, we are from outside..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the aunt poured out the rice bran in the dustpan, stopped feeding the chickens slowly, immediately poured out the rice bran, threw away the dustpan, wiped her hands on the apron, and walked over directly.
"Come on, come on! Come and sit at home, we haven't seen a stranger here for a long time." She said with a smile, then opened the courtyard door and welcomed Zhang Cundao in.
Without entering the house, Zhang Cundao and others sat down at the wooden table under the tree. The aunt quickly sat down with water to make tea, took some cakes from the cupboard, washed some fruits from the basket, and took them out of the pot.
Several boiled eggs were brought to the wooden table quickly.
She smiled and said: "There is nothing to entertain. When the master comes back, let him buy a pot of wine, and I will prepare some side dishes. Let you have a good meal."
Her enthusiasm made Zhang Cundao a little uncomfortable. For those who didn't know, he thought he and this aunt were related.
After finally waiting for the aunt to sit down, Zhang Cundao quickly asked: "Auntie, this is Taoyuan Township, right?"
The aunt smiled and said: "Yes, yes, this is Taoyuan Township. We are in Qian Village. Usually when foreigners come, they appear in the center of the village. It's really rare for you to appear in Qian Village. We have been in the village for a long time."
There are no new people here, are you a family?"
Zhang Cundao was about to speak when suddenly the courtyard door was pushed open and a middle-aged man appeared with a hoe. The uncle was slightly startled when he saw Zhang Cundao and others, and then smiled and said: "I heard that outsiders appeared in the field.
, I didn’t expect you to come to my house.”
The aunt also stood up, took the hoe from the uncle, and said with a smile: "Yes, I haven't seen a stranger for a long time. You can go to Lao Wang's house and buy a pot of wine, and I will cook some side dishes for you.
Please take good care of your guests."
The uncle nodded and said with a smile: "I want it! I'll go right away."
The uncle was also a resolute man. He put down his hoe, turned around and left home. After a while, he returned home with a bamboo tube in his hand, which was obviously a pot of wine.
Seeing her husband come back from buying wine, the aunt also got busy. She took out a kitchen knife and killed a little rooster that was too full and refused to move. She also took out a bunch of dried mushrooms, apparently to stew a chicken.
After the uncle washed up, he started to chat with Zhang Cundao. Zhang Cundao obviously didn't adapt to this rhythm. Fortunately, Di Lao was there, and Di Lao easily took over the topic and started chatting with the uncle.
There were not many big things in the farm, but mostly trivial things. We talked about farm work, the weather, and then about Taoyuan Township.
The uncle said: "You will stay at my house tonight. Tomorrow I will send you to the village to find the village chief and ask him to settle you down. No one has come to Taoyuan Township for a long time. It is really not easy to meet new people."
Zhang Cundao asked curiously: "Are few people coming to the village?"
The uncle said with a smile: "Of course, Taoyuan Township is isolated. It is difficult for many people to come all year round, and many people come and leave. This township is getting worse every year."
His words made Zhang Cundao frown slightly. There should be more and more people in this eternal Taoyuan Township. How come there are fewer and fewer people? And there are still people leaving. Didn't Jiucailu say it's hard to leave here?
