I looked at Fan Tuan. It didn't look like he was frightened or in danger. Anyway, he was just a little surprised. Following the direction of his finger, I couldn't see anything for the time being, so Fan Tuan put his finger on it.
There was a shush on his lips and he said in a low voice: "There are many people over there."
"Huh?" I was startled. My first reaction was that someone else came to Tiemuling from another way: "Who is it?"
"I can't tell clearly, you can only go and see for yourself."
Fan Tuan pulled me and walked gently over there, until I reached the place that was convenient for him just now. As soon as I turned my eyes, I saw under the moonlight, a large crowd suddenly gathered twenty or thirty meters in front of me. I counted them carefully.
Next, there must be more than a hundred.
Immediately afterwards, my eyes suddenly became a little dull, and I couldn't tell if I was excited or not, because through the group of standing people, I saw the lake, Laolong Lake.
The sparkling blue Laolong Lake appeared quietly at the east end of Tiemuling on this night. Fan Tuan didn't know the secret, and was already surprised when he saw those people. When he saw the sudden appearance of Laolong Lake, he was speechless.
He couldn't close it and turned around to look at me, his face full of doubts.
"Go!" I whispered into his ear: "Call Lao An and the others over here!"
Fan Tuan heard something unusual from my tone, turned around and ran back close to the ground. I turned around and looked at the front carefully. Originally, this was a dense forest, but now the forest was completely gone, leaving only
Laolong Lake, and the people gathering on the shore. The longer you look at it,
, the eyes became more familiar with the light and environment, and I felt something strange. Those people were all facing Laolong Lake, and I could only see their backs. However, judging from their clothes, the age span between these people may be very large.
I even saw someone wearing a mandarin jacket from the Qing Dynasty.
What kind of people are these?
Immediately afterwards, the person standing at the front took a few steps forward, silently entered the water, and jumped into Laolong Lake. The remaining people followed behind one by one, all using the same posture to enter the water. After everyone entered the water,
, like dead fish lying on their backs in the water.
At this time, Lao An and the others came over, but Biaozi still had the same reckless look. He asked what happened before he got really close. I was afraid of disturbing those people, so I turned around and made a silent gesture to them.
.
"Old Dragon Lake!" Meng Xiaolang suddenly lay down next to me, with a look of surprise in his expression. However, looking at the group of people who had just entered the water, he was also a little confused. Maybe Ziyang did not explain this situation before coming.
"What's going on with those people?" Fan Tuan still doesn't understand this question, but no one can answer him. Looking at the people floating in the water, I suddenly remembered the lie that Baoliang made up to me before. He said that he
My friends all drowned in Laolong Lake, and their bodies were floating on the water, motionless.
In an instant, sweat broke out on my forehead. Even though Baoliang was telling lies, I suddenly felt that everything floating in the water seemed to be corpses, all dead people.
A few of us just lay there, because we didn't know the situation, so we didn't dare to move, and we didn't know what to do.
"If Laolong Lake appears, when will it disappear?" I asked Meng Xiaolang.
"I can't say for sure, but it will definitely take some time from the time it appears to the time it disappears." Meng Xiaolang said: "We have small oxygen bottles and can go into the water to have a look, but there are so many people floating on the water. What's going on? God.
Never talked about it.”
I don't know if there is any pattern in the appearance of Laolong Lake. I'm afraid it will disappear again in the blink of an eye. I really want to seize the time, but the people floating on the water always give me a feeling of being neither dead nor alive, which is very awkward anyway.
"Let someone go over and take a look." Biaozi interjected from the side, his eyes drifting to Fan Tuan involuntarily. He was used to bossing Fan Tuan around, and let Fan Tuan take the lead in everything.
"Don't make trouble." Lao An frowned and said to Biaozi, "This place is no better than other places!"
"I'm just asking about the situation, he won't die." Biaozi was afraid of Lao An and muttered.
"Next time you encounter this kind of situation, you have to do it yourself. Don't assign people randomly." I said to Biaozi, "No one is your slave."
Biaozi was very dissatisfied and wanted to talk back, but before Lao An could stop him, a sound that sounded like a bird's song came from somewhere. In the deep mountains and forests, it is normal to hear birdsong, but this
The penetrating power of the chirping of birds is so strong that it seems to have crossed countless mountains and clearly drifted here.
The chirping of birds broke the silence in the middle of the night. I felt nervous, fearing that it would disturb those people in the lake and cause unnecessary trouble. At this moment, I noticed that Biaozi’s expression suddenly froze and his mouth opened.
It was so big that it trembled all over and bent down involuntarily.
"Ouch!!!" Biaozi bent at the waist and fell to the ground. One leg seemed to be caught by something and kept twitching. He rolled on the ground holding his leg. This feeling may be quite difficult.
Forbearance, Biaozi couldn't help but howl.
, beads of sweat as big as soybeans suddenly appeared on my face. I wanted to get angry. It was too nonsense to ask questions at this time, but then I thought about it. Biaozi was reckless, but he was not completely ignorant. He shouted out at the top of his voice, which showed that he was completely
Can't control myself.
I squinted towards Laolong Lake to see if Biaozi's voice would disturb those people. As expected, after Biaozi's howl passed, the stagnant Laolong Lake seemed to suddenly flood.
There were slight ripples, and those floating on the water collided with each other and gradually sank to the bottom.
It's really like this! My heart tightened. It was already obvious that something was wrong with those "people" floating on the water. I doubted that those were not people. They sank very fast, almost in the blink of an eye.
After a while, he was completely submerged in the water, and the water surface returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.
"Biaozi! What's wrong with you!" When Lao An saw that everyone in Laolong Lake had sunk to the bottom of the water, he didn't care anymore. He helped Biaozi who was rolling on the ground and said, "What's going on!"
"Brother An..." Biaozi was trying his best to endure, but he might not be able to bear the pain. He desperately hugged his leg and trembled: "The leg... the leg is going to be broken...
..."
It had only been two minutes at most from the time Biaozi fell to the ground, but I found that his left leg had become thicker, as if it had suddenly swollen, and it was like an inflated ball, which soon made his pants tight.
.
"Cut his trousers! Take off his shoes too!" Meng Xiaolang reached out and took out a knife. Without saying a word, he cut Biaozi's trousers to pieces. Fan Tuan also panicked, forgetting that Biaozi usually yelled at him and pointed fingers at him.
We hurried over to help take off his shoes. We didn't know why Biaozi's leg suddenly swelled. Maybe Meng Xiaolang was afraid that his left leg would eventually be so swollen that he couldn't even take off his shoes, and the capillaries would be blocked.
Biaozi's shoes and socks were quickly taken off by Fan Tuan with great difficulty. The moment he took off his socks, I saw a very clear blood-red mark on the sole of Biaozi's left foot. This mark was not
The first time it appeared, when we were at the Yuantu Ruins, he and I both had such marks, but after recuperating for such a long time, the marks should have faded long ago.
"Give me a moment." Meng Xiaolang completely cut Biaozi's trousers in three or five strokes. His left leg had swollen as thick as Su Xiaomeng's waist. Even the skin was almost transparent, and the blue blood vessels in the muscles could be vaguely seen.
Meng Xiaolang pinched his leg, looked back and forth a few more times, thought for a while and said, "It's still a little bit worse after all. What I did back then can't be wiped clean."
"Hasn't he recovered?" Lao An said, "Otherwise, he wouldn't be allowed to join the team."
"Master An, you can't do it." Meng Xiaolang shook his head and said, "Whoever the jar wants to die can't escape. It's not easy for him to survive until now."
"Help...save me..." Biaozi's face was sweating in pain. After hearing Meng Xiaolang's words, he immediately struggled and began to plead: "I don't want to die...I
I can’t die...I will grow up in the future..."
"That's enough!" Meng Xiaolang had always been laughing and joking, but now his expression suddenly became serious, and he sternly scolded Biaozi: "Shut up! Otherwise you will die in an embarrassing way!"
"Forget it." Lao An advised: "He's dizzy from pain, don't care about it, just save him."
"Try it, God is not here, I am not completely sure." Meng Xiaolang glanced sideways at Biaozi, reached out from his arms and took out a small bamboo tube as thick as his thumb, pulled out the stopper, and poured it on Biaozi's leg.
Add a little black powder.
At first I thought it was black medicinal powder, but when I looked more closely, I saw that they were all very small black bugs. The small black bugs were dormant until they came into contact with the human body, and then they woke up.
The powder, made up of who knows how many insects, suddenly got under the skin of Biaozi.
Biaozi clenched his teeth in pain, the corners of his eyes kept beating and twitching, and he was sweating profusely. Fan Tuan used a towel dipped in cold water to wipe him. For a few minutes, it was still unclear whether Meng Xiaolang's method was effective, but Biaozi left.
The swelling trend of the legs has been stopped. The legs have not recovered and will not continue to swell.
At this time, the bird call we heard before came again. It was obvious that the bird call was much closer. It was a bird song that I had never heard before. It sounded ferocious and sad. Then, from Tie
In the sky to the north of Muling, two huge shadows flash across. Under the reflection of the moonlight, I can see that they are two birds. The black birds are almost the same as the huge phoenix I have seen.
It unfolds to nearly one meter long.
They flew very fast, crossing Ironwood Ridge from the north and heading straight towards us. When they were very close to us, the two birds swooped down suddenly, like two small bombers, extremely fast. I thought they looked a bit like
It looks like a vulture, but it doesn't look much like it. Its feathers are black and shiny, like two huge crows.
The appearance of these two birds gave me a vague premonition of something ominous. I subconsciously grabbed Fan Tuan's hand crossbow and wanted to shoot them down.
"Keep them! Hurry!" Meng Xiaolang narrowed his eyes and suddenly shouted.
