High energy throughout

Chapter 14 Horror Village (Thirteen)

According to Qiao Pan, Mu Mu told him that he came here from the other side through the forest, that he had no father or mother, and that he was very grateful to the people in the village for taking her in.

Many people packed their bags and left the village before, but they all walked to the back mountain of the village, saying that there is a road across the back mountain, which leads directly to the big city.

Before the appearance of the mermaid legend, it was the yearning of many young people.

Qiaopan wanted to go directly to the back mountain after leaving Mumu, but unfortunately he met the village chief.

"The direction of the back mountain, is that there?"

Gu Manman raised his foot to move forward, when a familiar voice came from behind.

"Don't you feel that there are fewer people around you?"

Qin Xu didn't know when he stood there steadily and looked at her.

"You still have the nerve to say, where did you go, I almost lost my life."

"Qin Xu, you heartless thing, how dare you leave me behind?"

Gu Manman took a step back vigilantly, "Are you dead? Are you resurrected now?"

"The living dead?"

"... "

Qin Xu had black lines all over his head, "You can really talk."

"The living dead came to give you a back, are you happy?"

"This is amazing." Gu Manman even wanted to clap his hands and applaud, "Come here, let's go to the back mountain to have a look, there may be clues there."

The 10 minutes before dawn are the darkest.

Losing the light in the village, I couldn't see my fingers for a moment.

Gu Manman couldn't help but stop, she couldn't see the road in front of her at all.

There is only the sound of wind and rain in my ears.

And at this moment, footsteps appeared around.

"Tap, Tread."

footsteps?
Gu Manman pursed her lips, who else would be outside at this time?

It's too dangerous to see nothing.

She really had to wait until dawn before setting off.

Just when she was about to back away, a big hand grabbed her small hand.

The warmth from her palm relieved her tense emotions.

"Afraid?"

"It's really useless."

"Qin Xu."

"Ok?"

"Can you tell me before you become a living dead? I really can't run away from you."

"... "

Qin Xu gritted his teeth and called her name, and when he was about to go back, he heard her voice again.

"So, before you become a living dead, I will never let go!"

Qin Xu was stunned for a moment, but couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Follow me, coward."

Gu Manman pursed her lips unconvinced, but could only admit it helplessly, but the more she thought about it, the more something was wrong.

How could he see the way clearly?
Before she could think about it, footsteps came again.

And this time, the footsteps were closer to them.

"Qin Xu, are you alive or dead?"

"Don't worry, I will tell you before I die."

"Tread, step, step..."

The footsteps stopped beside them, they didn't move, and the other didn't move, they walked forward, and the other also took a step.

"Hello?"

"Village?"

The appearance of the paper puppet suddenly flashed in Gu Manman's mind, but how could the paper puppet have footsteps?
it's wired.

"Chi Chi Chi." The paper puppet triumphantly approached her ear and let out a strange smile, trying to scare her.

But he didn't expect that the other party stretched out his other hand and pinched his face directly.

"Why don't you paper puppets guard the village and follow them? Are you responsible for delaying things?"

Gu Manman continued to chatter angrily, "Is it so fun to deliberately make footsteps?"

The other paper puppet pressed its face against Gu Manman's without giving up.

"Oh, you're cool, if only you could get a little slippery."

"No, it's too cold, warm it up."

"???"

"Hahahaha." Qin Xu really couldn't hold back, he had discovered that Gu Manman was not afraid of these things at all.

She may only be afraid of not being able to see the way.

The road gradually changed from flat land to a slope, and they reached the foot of the mountain.

When Qin Xu was about to move on, the people behind him suddenly grabbed his hand tightly and stopped.

"Qin Xu, don't go."

"what happened?"

"do not know."

"What do you feel?"

"No, the paper puppets have all run away, they are afraid of this place."

"The most important point is..." Gu Manman's tone became serious, "It should be dawn early."

After turning sideways, Qin Xu realized that the sky had merged with the darkness, and they seemed to have fallen into an abyss with no end in sight.

What surprised him even more was that Gu Manman was actually counting the time.

"Let's go back."

The moment he turned around, countless hands stretched out from the darkness, grabbed his limbs and pulled him back forcefully.

"Qin Xu, don't drag me!"

"... "

At that moment, the hand that was about to let go tightly grasped Gu Manman.

"Even if I die, I will take you with me."

Darkness invaded, the brain felt dizzy, and the whole figure was flying wantonly in the air like a kite that lost its direction.

When his feet felt the presence of the ground, Qin Xu couldn't help but move his hands.

Fortunately, the two did not separate.

The sun was slowly rising, too bright.

Qin Xu hurriedly looked at Gu Manman to confirm that there was nothing wrong with her. The moment the two looked at each other, they couldn't help but speak at the same time.

"Qin Xu, are you going to kill me?"

"Gu Manman, how does it feel to die together?"

The two froze for a moment, and said in unison, "You heartless thing."

"I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you." Gu Manman threw away his hand angrily. There are forests and stairs all around here. As long as you walk down the mountain, you should be fine.

But she always felt that it would not be so simple.

Going down the mountain...why do you face the problem of going down the mountain.

"Qin Xu, don't get lost, you useless person, I won't go looking for you on purpose."

"Okay, I will return this sentence to you intact."

Qin Xu stared at the trees on both sides thoughtfully, and then looked down at the stairs. The end didn't look far away, and he didn't know what would happen when he walked.

If there is another way, then the ladder is a trap, if there is only a ladder, then I am afraid that it is a ladder that cannot go to the end.

In other words, it is impossible to take the path of stairs now.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help looking at Gu Manman, she should also think of...

He couldn't believe it, she actually started to walk down the stairs.

"Ugh."

Gu Manman walked very carefully, she even wanted to sit on it and move down step by step.

This is her fatal weakness, she is really afraid of heights, and she has already started to feel nervous and weak when standing there.

In particular, the step on this ladder is small and very steep.

The memory is gone, but the fear remains unchanged.

"Have you come to the Year of the Monkey?"

Qin Xu couldn't help laughing. According to her speed, even if the stairs are fine, it will probably be dark when she gets down.

"Then go down and wait for me."

Gu Manman really wanted to prove herself, she tried to speed up, but soon she gave up, no, she couldn't do it.

"I'll carry you, come up."

"I don't! I don't feel safe with you. What will you do if you fall down later?"

"Gu Manman, or do you want me to carry you on my shoulders?"

"Then you should carry me on your back."

Gu Manman climbed onto his back nervously, tightly grabbed his clothes with both hands and closed his eyes tightly, "Go slowly..."

As soon as her words fell, Qin Xu went down the mountain happily and quickly.
