192 Chapter 192 Footprints

I don’t know how long it took, but I woke up again in a daze and heard a snoring sound, which must have been the voice of a fat man. It seemed that it was time to rest.

I felt that my head was still heavy and swollen, so I reached out and touched my forehead. Sure enough, my forehead was very hot. Based on my experience with fevers in the past, the heat must have exceeded 38 degrees Celsius. If the body temperature is too high, my body will feel particularly painful. Soft tap.There were also some patches of ground that were hit by branches before that were particularly painful.

I opened my eyes. It was dark all around. It was already night. In this kind of darkness, I can't always see clearly. But I could feel my little brother lying on my right side. I turned my head and looked at him. Looking in the direction of rest, I saw that he seemed to be sleeping. He was seriously injured, so let him have a good rest.

I just wanted to sit or stand for a while to relieve my discomfort, so I quietly sat up. But I felt dizzy, so I sat there with my eyes closed to calm down.I slowly stretched my body and stretched out my hand to rub my head. Just when my hand slid down from my hair, I found something was wrong. There was a lot of hair hanging on my fingers, and this hair seemed to It's so long that I couldn't even reach the end of my hair even when I stretched my arms.

I didn't want to disturb my little brother, so I got up gently and stood up wobbly. After all, I had a high fever and was a little unsteady.

The moment I stood still, I noticed that there was a lot of hair. The moment I stood up, it stuck to my body with a "swish". The hair was a lot, very long, very smooth, and seemed to have a trace of hair. There was a familiar scent. Just when I was confused, I instinctively looked to my left to see what was going on with the hair sticking to my body. I found it on my left, only one meter away from me at most. There was a shadow sitting on the ground. The shadow looked like a human figure. There was a hint of coldness in the direction where he was. He couldn't help but shiver, and he suddenly felt a little scared.

The shadow was in the dark, so it was blurry. I just felt that the outline looked familiar, like a woman sitting there. It suddenly occurred to me that before I fell into coma, I reached out and grabbed the shadow of a woman. Could it be this one...

Could this shadow be her?Just as I was thinking about it, the shadow suddenly moved. I was so scared that I stepped back. I was afraid that I would step on my brother, so I looked down, and then looked back in the direction of the shadow.

The shadow stood up slowly, and he tilted his head, as if he was sizing me up. After a while, the shadow spoke and asked me, "Can you see me?"

When he spoke, I became less afraid. This voice... this voice was Aning!I nodded to her gently.She asked again: "Can you hear me?" I nodded to her.She walked forward again, and as she walked she said to me: "Don't be afraid, Xiaoxun, I am A Ning." When she got a little closer to me, I could vaguely see that this shadow seemed to be exactly what she wanted. It looked like An Ning. No, we couldn’t say it was a shadow. It should be said that it was An Ning’s spirit.

Except for a cold air coming out of her spirit, everything else seemed to be quite normal. She and I stood there and looked at each other for a moment, and then she suddenly shouted to me: "Be careful!" I saw a very worried expression on her face. The expression on my face was followed by the pain on the back of my head, and I fell backwards with a bang, hitting the little brother right in the body...

Wu Xie slept in darkness, and he didn't know how long he had slept. When he woke up in a daze, he found that it was already dark, his whole body was sticky, and he felt extremely uncomfortable. He rubbed his eyes and found that It is raining again.

I saw that Pan Zi had fallen asleep on the luggage on the side, and the fat man was snoring next to him. He turned his head and looked at the mengyou bottle. He was facing inward towards Xiaoxun, and he was also sleeping very much. Deep, he was about to look inside again at Xiaoxun, but at this moment, he noticed something was wrong.

A dark shadow was standing next to the stuffy oil bottle. The shadow swayed strangely from time to time. He felt that there was a burst of cold air drifting towards him in the direction of the shadow, and it was also accompanied by a faint sense of familiarity. The aroma.

The outline of the shadow looked like a person standing there, or a person with long hair. The shadow's hair was extremely long, definitely reaching waist length, or even longer. Among them, only Xiaoxun has long hair, but she only has hair that hangs over her shoulders. There is absolutely no one with such long hair. When I think of Xiaoxun, by the way, isn’t Xiaoxun sleeping over there with the oil bottle?
He hurriedly looked at the feet of the shadow, and his heart skipped a beat. Isn't the position where the shadow stood exactly where Xiaoxun was resting? But he didn't see Xiaoxun...

At this moment, the shadow suddenly took a step towards the Menyou Bottle. He saw the shadow's long hair swaying, and his heart suddenly rose to his throat.

This outline, this feeling, still carries the fragrance, and I cursed in my heart, "This damn thing, can't it be that forbidden woman!" Without thinking too much for a moment, he quietly got up, but he After thinking about it, this is not right. How could there be such a thing in a place like this?wrong!If the Forbidden Mother is also related to the Queen Mother of the West, then that thing is usually found in a dark and humid place. This is the lair of the Queen Mother of the West, and it is also a damp swamp.
At this time, he saw the shadow's head facing towards the Menyou bottle, and its long hair sliding beside the Menyou bottle. Now he felt a little anxious and alert. The shadow seemed to be sizing up the Menyou bottle. Bottle, now his head is raised again, and it seems that he hasn't noticed himself yet. Before he finds out, he should take action first!
Soon enough, he rushed toward the long-haired shadow with a "rubbing" motion. At the same time, he raised his fist and rounded his arms. He hit the back of the shadow's head with a "bang" and followed the shadow. The body tilted and fell onto Menyou Ping.

He hurriedly turned back to get a light source, and saw that the fuel can in the distance was still burning, but it had been turned blue by the rain and could not shine very far.He quickly took out the lantern and lit the flame, and then wanted to wake up the other people.

The little brother woke up immediately after being hit like this. He stood up to see what happened. Wu Xie came over with a lantern and took a look. He saw a woman with extremely long hair lying on the body of Menyoupin.

The little brother glanced at the person next to me, turned around and looked at the place where I was sleeping, then looked up at Wu Xie and shook his head.

Wu Xie was stunned there, seeing that Menyou Ping was not in a hurry or panic, he thought to himself, this doesn't look like something dangerous?

The little brother looked back at the girl lying on him, gently pushed the girl's messy long hair away, revealing the girl's face, and slowly lifted her up, fearing to press her long hair, and held her up with his legs, He gently pulled her long hair back, then held her in his arms and checked her pulse and body temperature.

Only then did Wu Xie realize that it was broken!At this moment, I felt a little guilty and said a little nervously: "I... hit the wrong person?"

The little brother sighed deeply and shook his head helplessly...

Wu Xie felt a little guilty. Why did he beat his sister? I thought, why did I say it was so easy to beat, but she fell down in an instant... He asked his little brother, "Xiao Xun, is she... okay..." Brother said calmly: "It's okay."

Wu Xie was very embarrassed at the moment. Fortunately, he was fine. He thought that he was less skilled in catching up and there was nothing around him. He had to hit it with his hands, otherwise it would be really... However, Xiaoxun was indeed a little strange. He asked his brother Said: "Why did her hair suddenly grow so much?"

The younger brother simply replied: "I don't know."

Wu Xie said "Oh" and thought that it turned out that Menyou Ping was not sure either. Seeing that his eyes were always on Xiaoxun, he cared about her very much and caressed her face from time to time, but she became gentle, so he couldn't help but smile lightly.

Turning his head inadvertently, he discovered that the sleeping bag wrapped with An Ning's body had been opened at some point, and An Ning's upper body was exposed.He murmured in confusion: "What's going on? I remember that the body was completely wrapped in a sleeping bag when I fell asleep. Who dug her out? It couldn't be Pan Zi, could it?"

Wu Xie walked over to the corpse and took a look, and soon discovered something was wrong. He was sure that the corpse had been tampered with. Her hands were curled up unnaturally for some reason, and the whole corpse looked... A little strange...

He looked around subconsciously, feeling a little scared. He turned around and woke up Pan Zi. Pan Zi didn't sleep deeply and woke up immediately. Wu Xie asked him: "Pan Zi, An Ning, is this you?" What did you do?”

Pan Zijue said "Huh?" inexplicably, and came over to take a look, then shook his head, and looked at Wu Xie with suspicious eyes and asked: "Little Third Master, she is your woman, why should I touch her if I have nothing to do with her?"

Wu Xie knew that Pan Zi had always thought that Aning was his woman, but that didn't matter anymore. It seemed that it was really not him who had moved it, so he suddenly thought, could it be that the fat man took a fancy to Aning's relics?But that's not right. Although the fat man is greedy for money, he will never attack his own people, not him. So what's going on?
Pan Zi washed his face with some swamp water and regained consciousness. Then he walked to the side of Aning's body and turned on the miner's lamp to shine it to see what was going on.

Aning's face still had the expression at the moment of death, which seemed a bit scary now.The body was already wet from the rain. Pan Zi squatted down and smoothed the hair on her face.The wound on Aning's neck that was bitten by the snake has now turned black and purple and has begun to rot. Mottled dark purple corpse spots have also appeared on the skin of the body. The high temperature here has begun to corrode this beautiful corpse.

Wu Xie looked at her body. He noticed something on Aning's clothes and said, "Why are there so many mud marks here?"

Pan Zi touched it and said, "It seems like it hasn't been on for a long time."

They followed the traces of mud and looked down. Next to the body, Wu Xie saw something and said, "Look, there are a few small things like mud footprints."

Pan Zi glanced at Wu Xie and followed the mud marks. He found that the footprints had been spreading up from the swamp. Because of the rain, they were no longer obvious. Only the ones next to the body were still very clear.

Pan Zi was surprised: "There is something in the swamp!"

While they were observing Aning's body, the little brother hugged me and held my head with one hand, and gently patted me with the other hand to wake me up. He called me softly, and I slowly opened my eyes. With a little glimmer of light, I saw the little brother looking at me. He touched my face and said softly to me: "Come on, get up soon. There is a situation." Then he helped me stand up and we turned to Looking in the direction of Wu Xie and the others, I looked up at him and saw him frowning. It seemed that what happened was not simple.

At this time, Wu Xie and Pan Zi's nerves were tense and their throats were tightened. They glanced at each other. Pan Zi stood up, picked up the gun, followed the footprints to the edge of the swamp, squatted down, and walked towards the swamp. Take it into the water.

I touched my hair to see when I had combed it. I turned my head and looked for Aning's spirit. It seemed to be gone, and it seemed like someone had hit me just now. In addition to the discomfort of having a fever, my hair was also It hurt a lot, so I rubbed it by myself and walked over with the little brother. I asked in a low voice: "Brother, did someone hit me just now?" The little brother reached out and touched the back of my head and gave me a gentle blow. I was licking my head, and Wu Xie seemed to be stunned for a moment when he saw me. His expression seemed a little embarrassed, and he glanced at me quietly.

We walked to Pan Zi and saw that the water was so turbid that we couldn't see anything clearly. Pan Zi took a photo of the muddy footprints and showed us carefully and said, "Damn, it seems that when we were sleeping, Something has climbed up, and it seems that I won’t be able to fall asleep even if I’m beaten to death.”

When the little brother saw the footprints, his expression changed. He took the miner's lamp, quickly scanned the surroundings of the body, and blocked us from getting closer to Aning's body.

Wu Xie asked, "What's wrong?"

The little brother said softly: "There is only a row of footprints, and that thing hasn't left yet."
