Cherki's family lived in a dilapidated manor on the outskirts of the port area. It is said that he bought this fairly good compound at a bargain price from a wealthy businessman who was eager to move to the aristocratic area.
Although this place is a bit dilapidated, it is quiet and comfortable. It even feels like a "sea view villa" because it is built on the edge of a sea cliff.
But everything else about this place is good, except that it is too far away from the city. Every time Cherki wants to go to the city, he has to drag his crippled leg on the road for several hours.
On that snowy night a few years ago, Cherki encountered what he said was a very strange thing on his way home from the tavern.
"I was very drunk at the time, and I don't know exactly when it was. I just remember that the moon hung so brightly in the sky, big and round, just like... just like that girl's big white n...
.Hahaha cough cough...hey!"
While drinking wine, Cherki vividly described the situation at that time. As he spoke, he laughed, then choked on the wine in his mouth. He coughed for a long time before he recovered, and then his face
He showed a look of fear that didn't seem fake.
"When I walked to the blacksmith shop at the edge of the city, I was blown violently by the cold night wind. Then I got drunk, and I hurriedly tried to find a wall to prop myself up to vomit for a while, so as not to lose consciousness after vomiting and fall into the trap.
Do you understand what you vomited out?"
The old man grabbed the wine glass with both hands, and there was a trace of cold sweat on his forehead. The words in his mouth were ignored, and he seemed reluctant to review the original scene.
"Hey... bless the mist girl, I didn't know what kind of evil god I bumped into at that time (a common saying in the western world, which means "what kind of bad luck happened"). There were so many small alleys next to the avenue, why did I choose that one?
....."
When he said this, Cherki picked up the wine glass and took a deep sip, as if he had gained enough courage. When he put the wine glass down again, the strange and bizarre experience finally poured out of his mouth.
"I was holding on to the wall and vomiting, and suddenly I felt something crunching in the darkness in the alley. At first I thought it was a rat. You know, in this damn place, that thing
It’s literally everywhere…
I didn't pay attention at first, but soon I felt something was wrong, because instead of getting smaller, the sound started to get louder and louder.
But at that time, I still didn’t feel anything was wrong. I used the strength of the wine to yell at that alley - Oh my God! Bless the Mist Girl, I can’t believe I really did that. I used the strength of the wine to yell.
I want to scare away those sneaky little things!"
Cherki shook his head vigorously, as if he wanted to get his absurd behavior out of his mind.
Then, he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp and regained his courage to continue telling Xue Hua.
"After I finished my roar, the crunching sounds deep in the alley stopped immediately. I thought at first that I had won and had really driven away those ghosts!
As a result, when I was about to walk out of the alley after vomiting, I glanced out of the corner of my eye and saw a woman's face glowing with blue light floating in mid-air in the center of the alley.
The fish-like eyes stared at me tightly!"
At this point, Cherki was stunned. It seemed that the shock that that scene caused him has not dissipated to this day.
Xue Hua did not bother him. Judging from his reaction when he told the story, what this guy told was still credible.
Although he may not understand what he is seeing.
After a while, the bartender refilled the old man's glass. The sound of the wine pouring into the glass awakened Cherki's frozen mind, and he finally realized that he had left the scary alley.
, sat down in a warm and comfortable pub.
"Ahem... I, um... I was very scared at the time, really scared, and all the drunkenness ran away when I saw that dead face... I was thinking, maybe I am
Encountered a demonic monster that slipped into the city from outside the city? Then my old Cherki is destined to die here today!
But while I was thinking wildly, the woman's face didn't pounce on me immediately. It just floated quietly in the middle of the alley, staring at me with a pair of staring eyes.
How many seconds had passed? Maybe minutes? Or maybe hours. I had no sense of time at that time.
All in all, the crunching sound that had stopped before suddenly started again. This time I heard it clearly. The sound came from the darkness not far behind the face!
This sound woke me up, and I thought I should run away immediately! But the terrifying and strange scene at that time made my intact leg feel like it was filled with lead, and I couldn't move at all!
I struggled for a long time before I managed to make a little hum from my throat, but the sound was so low that it was worse than a fly or a mosquito..."
Cherki's hands trembled again. He grabbed the wine glass in his hand and tried to take a sip, but more wine was spilled than he poured into his mouth.
"I...hey! For a moment, I thought I was going to die. I felt that my body was no longer my own..."
After saying this, the old man suddenly burst into laughter.
"But I'm not dead, I'm still sitting here, I'm still alive, and I can still drink this damn bitter algae wine!"
Hearing his words, the bartender frowned and wanted to come over and teach this old guy a lesson not to say anything casually. However, when he walked up to him, he realized that this old fish had spent half his life on a sea hunting boat.
Crossing his hands, his eyes actually shed tears that were a mixture of happiness, fear and the ecstasy of surviving the disaster.
The sea hunters who dare to board the sea hunting ship are all determined to risk their lives to beg for food. In a sense, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are desperadoes.
To be able to frighten an old sea hunter who had been the first mate on a sea hunting ship for most of his life into his current behavior shows how frightened the old Cherki was at that time.
"How did you...in the end...well..." Xue Hua signaled the bartender not to pay attention, and asked the old man curiously, but at the end of the question, he didn't know how to speak.
"What? How did you survive? I don't know, I really don't know. Bless the Mist Girl, that thing finally moved towards me slowly. It had a salty smell of seaweed, and a very strong smell.
The rancid smell made him look and smell like a living person.
However, all I saw was the face glowing with blue light. Just when it was almost approaching the entrance of the alley, the light of a torch suddenly came from behind me!
My God, Mist Girl, I have never loved those damn port patrols who were corrupt and perverted the law so much in my life... Even if that group of robbers took all the money I had on me from me who was paralyzed with fear that night...
.but they did happen to save my life.
Because of that face, that damn face! The moment the members of the port patrol appeared at the entrance of the alley, they suddenly disappeared in front of me!"
