A few minutes ago everyone was chatting, and a few minutes later everyone else fell asleep.
I touched Xiaoxuan's forehead and found that her temperature was normal.
I picked up the half bag of instant noodles left by Bean Sprout and looked at it.
"Yes, that must be the case, yes..."
The instant noodles and canned fish were all bought from the village canteen. Hongyan and I happened to not eat them, so we were fine.
A slight chill ran down my back, and I suddenly thought of Yapo's granddaughter. She seemed to have drowned in the water tank after falling asleep. Did she see something?
So, Grandma Xiao Tang...
"Pah! Pah!"
The memories in my mind were like fragments broken into small pieces, each with a human face on it. I was just thinking about this when I suddenly heard another snapping sound coming from beside me.
"stop!"
When I looked at him, his red eyes looked like he was grabbing a chicken. He grabbed Tian Sanjiu's upper body and shook him hard. When he didn't respond, he slapped him in the face again.
Tian Sanjiu closed his eyes, but the right half of his face was obviously swollen.
I hurriedly ran over and pulled him away, looked into his red eyes and said, "Listen, can you understand what I'm saying now? If so, please nod."
He nodded immediately.
I took a deep breath and said, "Now go and guard the door. No matter what you see, don't leave. You have to protect me. Do you understand me?"
He nodded, walked forward a few meters, and stood there like a door god without moving at all.
Then, I dragged Master Ji to the corner, and then dragged the others over, and gathered everyone together.
"who!"
Suddenly I heard something moving behind me, and I turned around sharply!
Now we are in the tomb, surrounded by darkness, with a corridor paved with bluestones in the middle, and at the end of the corridor is a wall with stacked skulls.
There was a big hole in the middle of the wall. When I looked out, it was dark and gurgling. It must be a psychological effect. I always felt like I could hear the wind.
I held up the flashlight and watched for a few minutes, swallowed, slowly backed into the corner, and held the knife in my hand.
"Did you hear anything?"
With red eyes, he turned his head and looked around. He slowly stretched out his finger and tapped the front.
I whispered: "Do you want to take a look?"
"Then go ahead."
"Take the flashlight," I threw him a flashlight.
He didn't think much and leaned over with a flashlight.
The flashlight illuminated part of the darkness. When he reached the end of the corridor, he suddenly shouted: "Hey!"
"Don't scream!"
"What are you yelling for! You were shocked!"
As soon as I finished speaking, my red eyes turned around sharply. He seemed to have seen something and ran out after me.
"Where are you going! Come back quickly!"
I shouted, but to no avail, he disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Holy shit!"
I can't leave. If I chase him, no one will be watching. If someone gets in trouble at that time, it will be over.
It felt unsafe to hold a knife, so I pulled another one from Xiaoxuan's waist, holding two knives in my hand, and looked around cautiously.
I kept waiting and waiting, not daring to blink.
Maybe an hour has passed, or an hour and a half.
Suddenly, I saw a faint light at the end of the corridor ahead.
"Pata."
I immediately turned off the flashlight and held my breath and concentrated.
Not long after, a tall black figure appeared around the corridor.
I breathed a sigh of relief and turned on the flashlight.
"Where have you been? It's been so long, almost two hours."
"No, why are your clothes so wet? Are you in the water?"
The red eyes came back again, but I saw that he was completely soaked and his trouser legs were still dripping.
"What is this?"
"Toad? Frog?"
He took out a dead frog from his arms, which was as big as an adult man's fist. It had kicked its legs to death.
"You...you went after this thing?"
He shook his head.
Red Eyes speaks one word at a time, which sounds extremely laborious.
I listened for a long time and watched him make gestures for a long time.
What he probably meant was that he suddenly saw a black shadow, so he ran out after the shadow and jumped directly into the river. As a result, he found nothing after entering the water. When he swam up, he saw a dead bird on the shore.
Frog, he took it back.
"Are you sure the black shadow you saw is a person?" I asked.
