Chapter 524 Silent Fear
Did he see something behind me?
As soon as I heard him say this, cold sweat broke out all over my back, as if I had been fished out of the water. Every step I took, my body felt heavy, as if I was about to be submerged in the water. Especially the strange staircase in front of me seemed to be about to collapse at the next moment. I suddenly felt as if I was facing a formidable enemy.
"Are you okay?"
Mu Shi suddenly stared at me.
It can be seen that he also looks very heavy.
"without……"
I wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, I gritted my teeth and said, "Brother, did you see something on my back just now?" I asked, with a serious look on my face, and it seemed that as soon as I asked the question, Mu Shi was frightened. With a jump, everyone was stunned.
"Did you just see something?"
Mu Shi suddenly looked surprised and asked me quickly.
"No, no."
I wiped the cold sweat from my forehead and answered.
"That's good."
He seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and relaxed a little.
"It's okay...it's nothing." Then, I seemed to hear him talking to himself, but soon he walked to the stairs in front of me, and then walked along the wooden corridor on the second floor.
Residential buildings in many places in the southwest are mainly stilt houses. Although there are some brick houses, there are still wooden stilt houses. Mostly it has to do with the living habits of the villagers here and some of the surrounding terrain. Moreover, the threshold here seems very high. Generally, every household will have several steps under the threshold.
According to those old people, it is mainly to prevent some unclean things.
But the old people didn't say what the unclean things were. It was unclear whether they were wild beasts in the mountains or something else.
"Ouch."
Mu Shi pushed open one of the doors at this time, and then asked me to go in quickly. After closing the door, he did not put Mu Na's body down in a hurry, but carefully bowed to the bed, as if he was taboo about something. , and then carefully placed Mu Na on the bed.
In addition to an old-fashioned carved bed, there was only a table and an oil lamp in the room.
There is no electricity in the mountains, and we only rely on burning some pine oil to illuminate and live.
"What do you pray for?"
I'm a little confused.
"It's nothing, we're just used to it." Mu Shi smiled faintly, then stared at Muna, "He should be better. I think he should recover a lot tonight or tomorrow."
"I hope so."
Although some of the toxins in Muna's body were excreted, he still looked very haggard, perhaps because the poisoning was too deep.
There are no places with good medical conditions around.
"By the way, we still need to be careful."
Mu Shi seemed to be very experienced. He stared outside, carefully closed the window, stared at me and said, "We... must have been targeted."
Yes, naturally, we were moved from the library to this place. I think our every move will be watched by people secretly.
"Tell me, who are those people? Since they didn't harm us, then why are they doing it?"
"Maybe……"
I thought, obviously those people must have some other purpose in moving us to this place.
"Is it because of that Japanese underground engineering map?"
Suddenly, Mu Shi muttered, "This reminds me, I guess it's right, it's either the Yin and Yang diagram, or the pattern on my jade."
Let me just say, things are not that coincidental.
"Hey, what are you thinking about?"
At this time, Mu Shi asked me.
"without!"
I quickly smiled and said, "I just thought, if we are really targeted by others, what should we do next?"
"I don't know either."
Mu Shi thought deeply.
"Obviously, we can't be the only ones staying here, there should be others." I reminded, thinking of the two people who lost their lives, I always felt uneasy.
"So are the rest of the people still alive? If so, where are they?"
Mu Shi analyzed.
"Now we just have to wait."
"wait?"
"That's right!"
…
Time passed by minute by minute.
Then, it got dark, but we didn't dare to go out at all. It was so dark all around that I almost fell asleep in the afternoon. When it got completely dark, we carefully opened the outside window.
"Huhu..."
"It's so cold!"
I almost sneezed, and then felt the wind outside blowing on my face like a knife.
"Wait a minute."
I was about to go out when Mu Shi stopped me.
"Look..."
Suddenly, for about a quarter of an hour, I suddenly felt that there seemed to be a bright spot of light flickering below the village.
"Will-o'-the-wisp?"
My heart felt cold and I sank to the bottom.
It is said that these uninhabited villages are usually caused by misfortunes or other natural or man-made disasters, so there will be some unclean things.
"No, not a will-o'-the-wisp!"
Mu Shi said word by word, squinting his eyes slightly and speaking seriously.
