The Zhangzhi monk scratched his head and said: "It seems not, but the young monk will continue to work hard..."
"Stop it, monk, you must be tired and confused. You are talking nonsense. Don't listen to him, old man." Zhou Xiaoshe said in disbelief.
After Zhou Xiaoshe finished speaking, Lao Jia, who was feeding the mules nearby, spoke quietly.
He said: "This young monk is right. Something has been following us during the day."
As soon as Lao Jia said these words, I was stunned and a little unbelievable!
It shouldn't be. I looked back several times along the way, but I didn't see anything.
"Is it a wild beast?" I murmured.
Lao Jia suddenly laughed and said: "If it's a wild beast, that's okay, but I'm afraid it's an existence that even wild beasts are afraid of..."
Lao Jia always means something in his words, but now it is a dark and windy night, and we are all deep in the jungle. When he says these words, it immediately sends chills down the spine!
Thinking back to the fact that Lao Jia had been asking us to keep busy during the day today, it always felt like he wanted to get rid of something. Now that I saw it, nine times out of ten, it was probably related to the thing that the monk Zhangzhi mentioned.
I quickly asked Monk Zhangzhi: "What is that thing you mentioned that has been following us all day?"
"The young monk is not very clear, but he seems to hear the cry of a woman."
"A woman's cry?"
Monk Zhangzhi nodded extremely seriously and said: "The young monk has had strange ears since he was a child. He can often hear things that ordinary people can't hear."
I quickly took another look at Monk Zhangzhi’s ears and found that this guy was really born with different appearances. As for his ears, the ear bones were slightly protruding, and the earlobes were more than twice as thick as ordinary people. He had not done much before.
I found it, and it’s quite surprising when I look at it now.
"Niubi, are what the monk said true or false?" I asked Zhou Xiaoshe.
Zhou Xiaoshe and Monk Zhangzhi grew up together, but later one was sent to become a monk, and the other followed a Taoist priest who specialized in deceiving and abducting people. Now when they compare, they are completely different.
One of them talks little, but has pretty features like a little girl, while the other one looks like a talkative, and if you give him another bottle of wine, he can blow the moon down...
Regarding my question, Zhou Xiaoshe admitted: "What the monk said is true, you can hear some strange sounds when you open his ears as a child..."
Zhou Xiaoshe also told us that the monk’s ears were indeed extraordinary. When they were children, they occasionally went swimming in the river with other friends, but that time, the monk Zhangzhi refused to let Zhou Xiaoshe go into the water.
, Zhou Xiaoshe asked why, and the monk said that there was someone talking in the water. Zhou Xiaoshe didn't believe it at first, but after a while, when he saw that none of the swimming friends came up, he was completely convinced.
.
As for later, there were many similar things, such as dead people's coffins, old graves in disrepair, and even children in the bellies of pregnant women... The monks could hear these sounds, and they could hear them accurately.
After listening to Zhou Xiaoshe's words, I couldn't help but raise my eyebrows.
His uncle, so to speak, the monk did not lie, and there was indeed someone behind us, no, it might even be an inhuman existence...
Monk Zhangzhi insisted that it was a woman crying. After hearing this, Lao Jia's face became even more ugly!
He took out a bottle of red liquid from his backpack, which looked like rooster blood.
Lao Jia took the rooster blood and sprinkled it in a circle of ten meters, surrounding our group of people. Apart from that, this was not the end. He also pulled a donkey and tied it alone to the side. He seemed a little abandoned.
The feeling of having a handsome car...
The night wind blew slowly, and the donkey, which was tied alone, snorted and brayed uneasily.
Lao Jia said to us with a stern face: "No matter what sound you hear tonight, don't get up or leave the tent before dawn!"
Lao Jia's words were extremely firm, but I felt a little frightened when I heard them!
Even Su Jin felt a little unnatural. She quickly shook Ah Qiao awake and pulled her into the tent together, as if she wanted Ah Qiao to keep her company.
As for that guy Zhou Xiaoshe, he seemed extremely calm and cool. If there were any monsters or monsters, he, the chief disciple of Maoshan, would definitely not be the first one to spare him.
Regarding Zhou Xiaoshe's words, I just dismissed them as a fart.
He was obviously expelled from the sect by Maoshan, and yet he still said that he was the chief disciple. I was so embarrassed for him.
After simply eating some dry food, which was actually just a piece of big cake for each person, this thing had to be soaked in hot water to eat. However, after listening to Lao Jia's words, at this juncture, everyone had no intention of eating.
Above the jungle, in the sky full of stars, the bright moon is faintly visible, and occasionally shooting stars flash by, giving the feeling of a beautiful scene in the sky.
It's a pity that no one has the leisure time to admire the moon.
I guess it was just before 1st o'clock in the evening when everyone got into the tent.
The two tents were right next to each other. As soon as I lay down, someone from the tent next to me touched me and whispered, "Is it sir?"
When I heard it, it was Ah Qing's voice.
Isn't this girl asleep?
I responded.
When Ah Qing heard this, she seemed very happy. She murmured in a low voice: "Sir, Ah Qing heard from Sister Su Jin that there are dirty things following us. Ah Qing was very scared. But now that Mr. Su is sleeping here, Ah Qing will
I’m not afraid at all anymore…”
I smiled bitterly, wondering when had I ever felt so secure.
"Go to sleep quickly. When you wake up, you won't be afraid of anything." I said.
"Well, then I'm going to sleep quietly. Mister, please go to sleep too."
A Qiao's hand was exposed through the tent and carefully placed on my arm. It seemed that these two thin layers of tent could give her an infinite sense of security.
…………

Outside the tent, the night was getting darker, and the wind in the mountains was blowing particularly hard in the middle of the night when everything was quiet. Fortunately, the tent was made of good quality. Several old men were crowded together, and they suddenly started snoring loudly, especially Lao Jia and Zhou.
The snoring sounds of the two people in Xiaoshe, one is like thunder on a sunny day, and the other is like shaking the heaven and earth. Two completely different snoring sounds, one singing and the other harmonious, your side just disappears, and my side starts again, the coordination is perfect, it is simply amazing...
Under this snoring, I tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.
After waiting for midnight, when I fell asleep, there was another strange sound outside the tent, like the woman's cry, or the painful howl of a donkey, accompanied by the mountain wind, permeating the entire mountain forest.
The soundproofing of the tent was pretty good, but I could still hear the noise outside. I felt a little scared when I heard it, but I still remembered what Lao Jia had told me before, never go out until dawn.
Looking inside the tent again, Zhou Xiaoshe and Lao Jia were still snoring, and Monk Zhangzhi was also sleeping soundly. As for A Qiao and Su Jin in the tent next to them, they seemed to be particularly peaceful, and I was the only one left.
A person can't sleep...
I don't know how long I tossed and turned, but amidst the weird noises outside the tent, I finally fell asleep and had a very weird dream.
But the dream didn't last long. I suddenly felt a chill in my body and my eyes opened unconsciously.
This time I woke up in the middle of the night.
My eyes went dark and my head felt a little dizzy.
Originally there was a small light in the tent, but now I don't know why it was turned off.
Looking at Su Jin's tent next to it, their tent lights were also turned off. I couldn't help but mutter in my heart, this is not a good sign.
At this time, it was pitch dark outside the tent, but inside the tent, I could no longer hear the snoring of Zhou Xiaoshe and Lao Jia.
I stretched out my hand to touch, but I could only touch the monk. As for the monk, there was no one next to him. Zhou Xiaoshe and Lao Jia were both gone.
My heart skipped a beat!
"What's going on? Both people are missing??"
I was shocked. Before I fell asleep, the two of them were still there. Why did they disappear after a while?
Where could the two of them go in the middle of the night?
At this moment, there was no sound outside the tent. The sounds that originally sounded like a woman crying and a donkey howling were now not audible at all. It felt as quiet as if it had never happened.
Monk Zhangzhi was still sleeping, but Zhou Xiaoshe and Lao Jia were nowhere to be found.
I gritted my teeth, opened the tent with my hands and feet, and got out.
I want to see where Zhou Xiaoshe and Lao Jia went!!
Outside the tent, the mountain breeze was slightly chilly, and the stars and bright moon in the sky had long since disappeared into the dark clouds, leaving no light at all.
In the darkness, I carefully opened the tents of Su Jin and A Qiao and took a look. Fortunately, they were both still there and sleeping soundly, especially A Qiao, who was curled up like a small shrimp.
She put her hands on the edge of the tent, and there was me across the tent. It seemed that she had never changed her posture...
Su Jin and A Qiao were still there, and I breathed a sigh of relief.
I looked up and looked around, and saw two donkeys and a mule tied together not far away. They were safe and sound, but the donkey on the other side, tied together alone, made no sound.
I took a closer look and saw that the donkey's body was bloody and covered with scratches that could see the bones. In addition, the donkey's eyes had also been gouged out. The death was extremely miserable...
I took a breath of air. The death of this donkey was almost exactly the same as the one before.
Just then, I heard a sound from far ahead.
My heart moved and I hurriedly followed him.
A few minutes later, in the dark night, I saw a familiar figure.
I almost shrank my pupils, and saw Zhou Xiaoshe holding a shovel under a tree and digging hard.
I was surprised, I didn't expect Zhou Xiaoshe to behave like this.
I looked intently, and after holding back my composure, I saw Zhou Xiaoshe dug up a white skeleton under the tree. Then under my eyes, this guy actually hugged the unknown skeleton on the spot.
The skeleton, which had been dead for many years, became affectionate as if it were a beautiful woman...
