Although his back was turned to me, I could tell at a glance that the clothes he was wearing were different from those of Chang Shan and Ben. His clothes seemed to be a cloak, and the back of this man also looked older. The most important thing
Yes, there are no shoes on his feet, but bare feet.
At this moment, I took a step back. This man was dressed very much like the withered old man from before. Could it really be him? My heartbeat kept accelerating, and my spine was feeling cold. He was just like this.
With his back to me, I couldn't figure out what he wanted to do?
I slowly pulled out the diving knife from my leg, stared at his back and said, "Who are you?"
He didn't speak, he just stood there motionless, just like a statue. What tricks did he want to play? Did he just want to scare me like this? Then he looked down on me too much.
The anger in my body was burning. When people are frightened to a certain level, they will become crazy. I yelled again, "Who the hell are you?"
This person was still motionless, just facing me with his back. I held the diving knife tightly and gritted my teeth and said, "Okay, you won't say anything, right? Then I'll go over and see who you are."
After I finished speaking, I walked over with the diving knife, but I had just taken two steps when he actually started to move. His movement shocked me, and I immediately stopped.
The man in front of me slowly took off the hat on his head, revealing his long and messy hair. Oh my god, it turned out to be that shriveled old man. I didn’t dare to move, let alone
Moving forward, if I really make a move, even if I am not injured, I may not be able to beat him, not to mention that I am still injured.
After he took off his hat, he turned around very slowly. When he turned completely around and faced me face to face, I didn't see his cat eyes. In the dark, I couldn't see his eyes clearly.
, just pitch black.
"Who are you, a human or a ghost?" I knew my tone of voice was a little trembling, but I was already trying my best to control it.
"This is not the place you should come." From his mouth came a very old and ugly voice, as if a person was about to expire when he was about to die, and his face seemed to be still covered.
With the black cloth, I couldn't see his mouth moving at all.
"What do you want to do?" I asked again tremblingly.
"Let's go, let's go quickly." He still said in his dying voice, his body still motionless.
Let’s go? Is he telling me to leave the island? “Where are you going? Who are you? Answer me.” I stared at him and asked. I felt that there was an unpleasant rotten smell coming from him.
Smell, is he a dead person? Why does it smell so bad?
For a moment, I almost felt sick and wanted to vomit. Just as I stared at him, I suddenly saw that his eyes were changing. They slowly turned into orange cat eyes and scattered.
With the light shining, in this dark jungle, the two yellow eyes looked extra eerie and strange.
"If you don't leave, you will die... you will die..." His voice was not loud, but he was wandering back and forth in the entire jungle, as if the same person was standing in every corner.
, making the same sound.
This sound seemed to have magic power, like a steel needle piercing my heart directly. The pain was unbearable. Even if I covered my ears with both hands, the sound could still reach my ears without any pain.
If it weakens, it cannot be stopped at all.
I felt like I was out of breath, "What the hell do you want? If you can, show me your true face." Before me, I began to feel dizzy and started to shake a little.
, this wizened old man actually had a double image in front of me. Oh no, I actually had hallucinations.
"This is your last warning, get out of here." This damn voice didn't sound like it was coming from a human being at all. It made my chest feel tight, as if I might vomit blood at any time.
I shook my head vigorously to keep myself awake, but my whole body seemed to be exhausted and I had no strength at all. I just wanted to sleep and do nothing. I could hardly open my eyes.
But I knew very well that once I fell asleep, I might never wake up again. I bit the tip of my tongue and the pain was so overwhelming that I woke up a lot in an instant.
I dragged my tired body, turned around and ran down. I didn't know how many times I fell down along the way, but his voice still lingered in my ears. He wanted our lives, he might want to kill us.
Got us.
I ran forward as hard as I could, but the strength of my legs was getting weaker and weaker. Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of me. Before I could stop, I knocked him down directly, and then I
I don't know anything anymore, I have completely lost consciousness...
A burst of coldness made me slowly open my eyes. The wound on my abdomen still hurt a little. I supported my body and reluctantly sat up.
"Brother Yi, are you awake?" Jiao Ba was next to me. When he saw me waking up, he reached out to help me.
Jenny sat across from me and said, "How's it going? Are you okay?"
I shook my head, glanced at my surroundings and said, "Where are we now?" My head hurt, it was like a needle prick, I felt a little groggy, and the tip of my tongue also hurt.
It's like I have an ulcer, and I can't even speak without being stung.
"Still in the jungle of the island, this is the place we have been to before." Jiao Ba looked at me and said.
I looked carefully again. This place seemed to be the woods where Jiao Ba and I were looking for firewood. Shunzi and others were sleeping around, but Mai Lao and the big man were not here, and they didn't know what they were doing.
.
"Where are Mr. Mai and the big guy?" I asked.
"They went to the shore to see if they could leave here as soon as possible." Jiao Ba pointed forward with his hand.
"Did I pass out?"
I remember that I seemed to have met that shriveled old man again before. He even said a few words to me, and then I started to feel dizzy and dizzy. Then I remembered that I had bitten my tongue myself, but I could run away.
Halfway through, I couldn't remember anything, not even how I fell into coma.
"What are you talking about, why are you disappearing while you are walking? We were looking for you everywhere, but when I found you, you were running like crazy, as if you had seen a ghost, and you hit me directly.
It's on me, let alone you being unconscious, you almost got knocked unconscious by me." Jiao Ba said with gestures.
"How long have I been unconscious?"
"Not long, about three hours, brother Yi, this is a bit unlike your style." Jiao Ba knew very well that I would not get lost for no reason.
"On the way back, I did get lost, and then I followed the road to find you, but who knew..."
I didn't say what I said next. When I thought of that shriveled old man, I felt guilty, especially the few words he said to me, 'You will die, you will die...' Thinking of me
My whole body felt cold and I was sweating profusely.
Jenny asked a little worriedly, "Zhongyi, has something happened to you? When Jiao Ba carried you back, your face was pale and it was difficult to breathe. If Li Xin hadn't been here, I was really afraid that you wouldn't be able to wake up.
Laah."
After listening to Jenny's words, I glanced at Li Xin next to her. Li Xin was also looking at me, but there was no expression on her face. I had to say awkwardly, "Well... thank you."
Li Xin chuckled and said, "You don't need to thank me, it's just your fate."
Jiao Ba asked me again, "Brother Yi, you are so good, how can you still get lost? Is it simply impossible? What's wrong with you?"
I said with a somewhat ugly expression, "I can't tell you the specifics... I just know that someone led me there and said some incomprehensible words to me."
"Is there someone? Is there someone on this desert island?" Jenny asked with a surprised look on her face.
There is no need to hide this matter. I almost told the three of them the entire story, except that I didn’t mention the old man’s yellow eyes or my various suspicions about him. After all,
Li Xin and Jenny are still here, so Jiao Ba naturally knows about this old man.
When I finished speaking, except for Jiao Ba, Jenny and Li Xin's expressions all changed. "Listening to what you said, this doesn't look like a human being at all. Could it be... is there really a ghost?" Jenny whispered.
She said, looking like she was scared.
Jiao Ba smiled and said, "Don't think blindly. There are so many ghosts in this world. They are all scared by you. Ghosts are actually souls, but souls cannot have physical feelings. That strange thing that Yi Ge said
Old man, I think he's human."
"I also think he is a human being. He may have been living in seclusion on this island. Our arrival may have disturbed him." Li Xin said calmly.
Jenny shook her head and said, "I don't think it's that simple. There is nothing on this island. How can people live? It's simply impossible."
"Nothing is impossible. You can eat fish as food and drink rainwater as water. Haven't we all been here for several days? Aren't you also living well?" Jiao Ba said easily.
Li Xin suddenly asked me, "Zhongyi, what do you think?"
I didn't answer her immediately. I was thinking about everything that had happened in the past few days. This mysterious old man had been following us since we arrived on the island.
But so far, apart from him, I have never seen anyone else on the island. There are also those terrible strange insects and unknown fruits, as well as the curse Chang Shan mentioned before, and many other strange things.
All these signs indicate that this wizened old man is definitely not a simple human being, but if he is not a human being, then what is he? I really can’t figure it out, I have no clue at all, and my head hurts again.
It still hurt from the needle, so I quickly pressed my temples to get some relief...
