Chapter 69 Chapter 69: The Will-o'-the-wisp

The corn grows as tall as a person, and the leaves grow outwards in an upside-down shape, with sharp edges, as sharp as a knife. Da Ya and I grew up in the countryside when we were young, so we naturally know that you can’t stand upright and sprint when you’re drilling into a corn field. You have to bend over and cover your head with your hands together before running, so that you can avoid the sharp leaves.Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to run very far, and his body would be cut with bloody gashs.The ditches were straight, and I couldn't spare a hand to turn on the flashlight. I could only run forward, calling Liu Ye's name constantly.

The mosquitoes in the crops are so big that they are frighteningly big.If he was bitten on the face by these things, he would probably be disfigured.Da Ya and I danced non-stop, trotting along the furrows, and estimated that we would be able to run out of the cornfield in less than twenty minutes. The two of us kept calling Liu Ye's name, but there was no response. Apart from the noise we made, there was silence all around. Gradually, the shouting seemed to turn into a slogan. I shouted once, and Big Tooth shouted once. The alternating shouts became rhythmic, as if it had become a running chant.

Da Ya and I ran out of the corn field in one breath. We were soaked in sweat just now, facing the wind, "swiped" from head to toe to cool down, very comfortable. After Da Ya and I yelled twice, I suddenly realized something was wrong, so I asked Da Ya, did he yell along the way when he came to look for Liu Ye just now? Da Ya glanced at me and said: "Who can find someone who can not shout, but also slowly aim like stealing something, my throat almost broke!" A chill immediately filled my whole body, as if I fell into a hole in the ice three or nine days ago, and my body lost all heat.

I stared at Da Ya and told him that when he was looking for Liu Ye just now, I didn't hear him shout. Da Ya blinked his eyes twice, obviously a little disbelieving, looked at the sky, then looked back at the cornfield, a little scared, asked me in a low voice, could it be a ghost?Liu Ye was fascinated by a ghost, so she disappeared? Although I also have some doubts, but I don't want to push myself to a dead end, so I educate Da Ya not to think of ghosts when there is something wrong, there are so many idle ghosts in this world, so hurry up and look around. I looked up and found that Da Ya's eyes were staring directly behind me, his mouth was open, and he was dumbfounded.Immediately, he stared at me too, my scalp went numb for a while, and I felt uncomfortable all over.Immediately, he gritted his teeth, jumped forward with a "whoosh", then turned over in the air, took advantage of the situation and dodged to the side, rolled to the side, and turned back to look as soon as he landed.

There are jagged mountains and rocks behind him, thatch is everywhere, and there is no ghost at all. Just as I was about to scold Da Ya, I felt something was wrong with Da Ya's eyes, there was something like a flame in the pupil of the eye, jumping and jumping.He hurriedly turned his head to look up the mountain again, and sure enough, there was a bonfire flickering on the top of the mountain, but the fire was not very strong, as if it would be blown out by the wind at any time. There is fire on the mountain, and if there is fire, there will be people. Who will it be? Da Ya also regained his composure at this time, wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, and stammered and asked me: "Come... Lai Liang, you... Who do you think will be on the mountain? Could it be... It's willow... where are the willow leaves?"

Could it be that Liu Ye encountered some danger and had no choice but to go up the mountain, lit a fire, and signaled us?Thinking of this, I hurriedly greeted Da Ya, regardless of who it was, and ran up the mountain quickly. When I got to the mountain, I couldn't help thinking that Liu Ye was in trouble. Da Ya and I planed our feet and ran to the top of the mountain even rolling and climbing. The weather in summer is sultry. Although there is a little wind in the field, the wind doesn't work at all during our toss.After climbing not too far, the clothes on his body were all wet with sweat, and his hands were cut several times, and the blood kept bleeding, but at this moment, he couldn't take care of these, and didn't dare to stop for a moment. I can only grit my teeth and continue to climb up.

After more than half an hour, Da Ya and I finally climbed to the top of the mountain. We quietly hid ourselves behind a clump of wormwood, pushed aside the wormwood, and looked forward carefully. When we got closer, we could see clearly that there was a flash of fire at a distance of more than 20 meters from the two of us.It's just that the fire light is indescribably strange. It looks like a firefly's head fire from the bottom of the mountain, not very bright. I thought it was because of the distance, but I didn't expect it to be the same when I was close. The fire light didn't change at all.

After looking at it for a long time, Da Ya stuck out his tongue and pulled his head back. He lowered his voice and asked me, "Lai Liang, that's not right. Take a closer look, why is the flame glowing green! Could it be a will-o'-the-wisp?" " Will-o'-the-wisp? When I was a child in the countryside, I often heard stories about ghost fires.It is said that the will-o'-the-wisp just seems to flicker, and if you walk next to it, it will follow you.If you walk fast, it will also be fast, and if you stand down, it will also stop, very vicious.Hearing what Da Ya said, I stretched my neck to look again. The two fires split and merged, flickering, and indeed looked a little green. I don't know if it's the flame itself or the surrounding grass. judge.

I looked at it, and suddenly I shrank my neck and stepped back. I said why I always felt that there was something wrong with the fire. After a long time, the two fires were more than 20 centimeters from the ground, hanging in the air and burning. It's not a bonfire, it's clearly two fireballs.Even if there is wind, it hangs in the air, and the scene is extremely terrifying.What surprised me even more was that in the flickering of the flames, I suddenly found willow leaves! Liu Ye sat on the ground, half of her body was hidden in the shadows, talking and laughing alone.Looking at that look, it seems that he is chatting with someone.

I was so frightened that my hands and feet were cold, and the hairs all over my body stood on end, so I couldn't cry out. Da Ya saw that my face had changed color, and just as I was about to make a sound, I quickly gestured to him and told him in a low voice, Liu Ye is there! Da Ya was also taken aback, obviously he didn't believe it, he clicked his lips twice at me, but didn't say anything, he poked his head and peeked over there. In less than twenty seconds, it was as if a switch had been stepped on, my whole body was jolted, and I shrank back with a "whoosh", my face was like a pig's liver, my facial features were all twisted together, and I blinked at me dumbfounded Eye.After a long time, I asked me in a low and trembling voice, who is Liu Ye talking to?

I was also apprehensive, not understanding why Liu Ye would appear here.Judging by the situation, nine out of ten seem to be fascinated by ghosts.Here in the wilderness, being overwhelmed by Yin energy, it will definitely have an impact on the body after a long time.No matter what you say, Liu Ye must be rescued as soon as possible. Those two groups of "wild fires" have been surrounding Liu Ye, and it seems that they have no malicious intentions towards Liu Ye.But it's hard to guarantee that as soon as Da Ya and I go out, they will rush to us and kill us, burning us to pieces.This kind of yin fire is different from the usual yang fire. Once it touches the body, it will instantly break the muscles and bones. It is by no means a joke.I thought about it for a long time, but I didn't think of any good way, and I was at a loss for a while. Da Ya saw me hold back for a long time with a frowning face, but didn't think of any way to do it. He gave me two "tsk tsk", raised his eyebrows, and reprimanded: "Two will-o'-the-wisps can scare us to pieces? It can still be scared!" Where are you going?" As he spoke, he snapped off a branch from a nearby tree, roared, and rushed towards the two will-o'-the-wisps. By the time I reacted, it was already too late.I was so anxious that I quickly called Da Ya and told him to come back immediately.But Da Ya didn't listen at all, and shook the branch in his hand to slap the two will-o'-the-wisps. Da Ya ran like the wind, and he was approaching in the blink of an eye. When he saw that there were still two or three meters away, the two will-o'-the-wisps seemed to have eyes. , Said it was floating, but the speed was not slow at all, and it was in front of Da Ya in the blink of an eye. I was so frightened that I closed my eyes and thought, it's over, Da Ya is a bastard, he really doesn't know the heights of the sky and the earth, and he underestimated these two weak will-o'-the-wisps, it must be hopeless now.Brothers in battle, I also fought with it!Thinking of this, I pulled out the machete, closed my eyes, and charged forward with a loud roar, but only after I opened my eyes did I realize that the two will-o'-the-wisps had disappeared...
