Weird past in the countryside

Chapter 74 Follow the Sound Out of the Fog and the Bone Cat Introduces the Jungle

I sat on the ground and looked around helplessly. The boundless thick fog was so oppressive that I couldn't breathe.I close my eyes and listen to everything around me with my ears.Without the visual influence, I suddenly felt a lot calmer in my heart, and I was no longer as impetuous as before.

I hope that hearing their voices, even if they are faint, can bring me some hope.Sadly, I can no longer hear anything other than my own heartbeat.

I decided to stay where I was, thinking to myself that since it was foggy, it should clear up at noon.After the fog clears, I will find a way to find Master and the others.

I no longer have the concept of time. In this thick fog, I can't see the sun, nor can I see everything around me. I can only rely on my own speculation.

Waiting without hope is the easiest way to wear down one's will, just when my will is about to be worn down a little bit.I suddenly heard a sound, very weak.Normally, I might not have noticed this sound at all, but now, this sound is enough to lift my spirits and give me a glimmer of hope.

I held my breath and carefully identified the direction of the voice.I still dare not open my eyes, I am afraid that after I open my eyes, I will be affected by the external environment and make me lose my judgment on the sound.

I stood up slowly and walked towards the direction where I heard the sound step by step.I held the Japanese sword's scabbard in my left hand, touched the mahogany sword at my waist with my right hand, and encouraged myself. Now I am the only one left, and I am determined not to fall down.

Every few steps I take, I have to stop to identify the direction of the sound. If the sound is absent, sometimes it takes a while before it reappears.Although the valley is full of wild flowers and weeds, there is no obvious high and low, which makes my movement relatively easy, and as I move, the sound becomes more and more obvious.It sounded like the cry of an animal, or someone whimpering, sometimes low and sometimes high.

After walking a certain distance, I opened my eyes and took a look, and found that the thick fog had become thinner. Although I still couldn't see how far away, I could already see my surroundings clearly.

These changes gave me greater confidence and courage. I closed my eyes, continued to identify the voice, and kept moving forward.After walking for an unknown amount of time, the voice that had become clearer and clearer could no longer be heard.This made me very annoyed, I opened my eyes angrily, but was pleasantly surprised to find that the thick fog in front of me was gone.I actually walked out under the guidance of the voice.

I quickly looked around, hoping to find Master and the others.But to my disappointment, I didn't see them around.I saw a dense forest appear in front of me to the right.

I looked up at the sun and found that it was already afternoon and the sun was setting.

Too much tempering has made me gradually learn to stay calm.I walked to the edge of the woods and sat down against a big tree, trying to reorganize my thoughts.I reached out to take dry food from my arms to satisfy my hunger. After walking all morning, I was already hungry.

I put my hand into my satchel, but instead of dry food, I found a whistle.I remembered that this is a wooden stick distributed to everyone, and its purpose is to blow it when you are separated, to get in touch with your companions.

I hurriedly put the whistle in my mouth, took a breath, and blew the whistle.The sound of the whistle was sharp and ear-piercing, and suddenly frightened a group of birds in the forest into the air.I believe the whistle will travel farther in the valley. If Master and the others can hear it, they will definitely respond to me.

After I finished blowing, I listened quietly.However, no whistle was heard in response. Instead, a few howls of wild animals came from a distance, and the cries caused continuous roars from other animals.All of a sudden, I roared again and again, and the sound of howling wolves and howling ghosts scared me down the spine, and I hurriedly stuffed the whistle into my bag.I looked around in horror, and I was glad I hadn't lured the beast here.

I dug out a paper bag from the bag, which contained pancakes prepared by Xiaoyue.I chewed the pancake tastelessly, thinking about something while eating.

I thought that going into the mountain this time would be dangerous, but what I didn't expect was that the team broke up within two days of walking.I am alone, what can I do?Should I continue walking inside, or should I find a way to get back to the village.

After a while, I swallowed a piece of pancake, and because I ate too much, I choked and hiccupped.I lowered my head to look for it, but luckily the kettle was still by my side, so I quickly drank a few sips of water and patted my chest.

After filling the stomach, the sun gradually set.I don't know if it's because of my impression, but I always feel that the days in this mountain are very short, and the night comes very fast.

Leaning against the big tree, I sighed softly, I don't know how to spend tonight.Losing my master and my companions made my heart fluctuate all the time, and I couldn't feel at ease at all.

The night was as if someone was pulling it, and with such skill, it covered the entire valley, and the night sky was filled with stars in an instant.I wanted to get up and pick up some dead branches and light a fire, one for warmth, and the other for protection from beasts.

But when I got up, I subconsciously looked into the woods.They found a pair of blue light spots floating there twinkling.I was so frightened that my first reaction was to encounter a will-o'-the-wisp.

I pulled out the mahogany sword and looked at the will-o'-the-wisp, which slowly moved towards me and came to the edge of the woods.

Now I can see more clearly, the pair of light spots are not the will-o'-the-wisps, but a pair of eyes, but I feel that they are even more terrifying than the will-o'-the-wisps.Because what I saw was actually a person, judging by his height, he was a child of two or three years old.Those terrifying blue eyes grew on a cat's face, and his body was actually a set of white bones.

The child with bones walked to the edge of the woods and stopped.He shook his head at me and made a whining sound.

My heart beat faster in fright, and I couldn't guess what the other party was.I waved the mahogany sword in my hand and made a whirring sound in the air.The child was unmoved at all, still standing there motionless.

Sweat trickled down my forehead.I was extremely nervous, but I didn't dare to act rashly.After confronting each other for about ten minutes, the child uttered a meow: "Meow~", following the meow, he continued to walk forward and slowly walked towards me.

I was so frightened that I backed away again and again, holding the mahogany sword tightly in my hand, just as I was about to break the boat and fight desperately.Through the moonlight, I finally fully saw the child in front of me.

What kind of child is that? It is clearly a cat with a strange appearance.The reason why I recognized it as a bone-boned child was because the cat's fur was black, but on the chest and two front legs, there were many horizontal and vertical white stripes, which were on the black fur. Against the backdrop, it looks like a pair of white bones.

It seemed that this was an underage cat. The cat looked up at me and meowed again.

I breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a wry smile, "Cat, cat, it's about time, and you're coming out to scare me."

I took out the pancake in my pocket, tore off a small piece, and threw it to it.It lowered its head and sniffed, grabbed it in one gulp, and swallowed it.I looked down at the sweetness of its food, and smiled easily.At the same time, I found that there were also white stripes on the kitten's back, as if a white skeleton was lying on its back.

The little strange cat ate the cake in a few mouthfuls. It wagged its tail and rubbed against my legs.I smiled and said, "I can't give it to you anymore, I have to keep it for myself, you should hurry home and find your mother."

The little strange cat rubbed against it for a while, then grabbed my trouser leg and pulled me into the woods.This completely confuses me.It pulled me a few times, and I took two steps forward with it.It let go of its mouth, rushed to the front, and yelped back.From the way it looks, it seems to be pointing me to a place.

My heart moved, could it lead me to find Master and the others?This is too bizarre.I thought again, why not treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor, since this little strange cat deliberately asked me to follow it, then I will let nature take its course and find out what the mystery is.There is nothing I can do even if I stay where I am, so I might as well try my luck.

The little strange cat looked back three times, I smiled and said: "I won't run, you go your way." I followed the little strange cat into the woods, and when I entered the woods, the one I heard during the day The voice seemed to appear in my ears again.And this time it was heard more clearly.I could hear it, and it was clearly the meowing of a cat.
