Chapter 389: The Road to Cannibalism
It is conceivable that people have a bad reputation, but what does it mean that the road has a bad reputation? Is this way to pack a second wife or raise a junior?
Lao Xu waved his hand again and again, saying that this road has a bad reputation because it is a cannibalistic road.
We can't help but stare at each other - you say that tigers and wolves eat people, forget it, the road can still eat people? Is this road a success?
It turned out that the road was an ancient road, the age is not verifiable, at first it was used by caravans to transport goods, and after a long time, people who passed by this road found one thing a little strange - as long as the caravans passed on this road, they would be embarrassed.
Of course, it doesn't mean to be embarrassed, it's really that there will be fewer people, and the number of fewer people is not fixed, sometimes one or two, sometimes three or five, anyway, it will be less.
The caravans didn't take it seriously at first, you said that the year was so chaotic, it was not easy for everyone to eat, and it was normal to escape when they saw that the situation was not good.
But after a long time, everyone discussed it, and they all felt that it was wrong, because the person who "escaped" never appeared in the world again.
The people in the caravan were all muttering, and some people said, don't be weird on this road, right?
There is really a wealthy caravan looking for Mr. Feng Shui to sit in the town, and the gentleman is full of tickets, saying that this matter is simple, I will give it to your palace to see what the situation is.
At first, it was peaceful, but when the caravan came to the intersection to thank the gentleman, they found that the gentleman himself was gone—his black boots were still hanging on the horse, and the bare man was gone.
That road became so famous that the caravan did not dare to go from it until they were forced to do so, and this has been going on for many years.
Speaking of this, Lao Xu looked at me worriedly.
At this time, the black mole in the back couldn't wait, and said lazily: "Are you going to go?" If you're scared, go home and find your mom to feed, let the guide out, and don't take up the pit and don't. ”
And the strong man was silent, still staring at me.
Cheng Xinghe was very angry, but I didn't pay any attention to them at all—they wished they had started a fire with us and drove us out of the desert, and they didn't grow crops anymore after listening to the crickets.
Not only that, but I also took out the map and looked at it slowly, and I also saw the markings of the road, but there was a cross drawn on it, which means that the road cannot be walked.
But we couldn't step directly on the sand ghost, so we nodded to Lao Xu and let him lead the way.
Lao Xu sighed sadly again, and then urged the camel.
The road is far away, and it takes a lot of time, and when I prepare dry food and water, I didn't expect this kind of moth to come out, and it may not be enough, so I can only save a little.
On both sides of the road were some strangely shaped sand dunes, and occasionally there were some weathered outlines of strange houses, probably old times post stations or something, Lao Xu was uncertain, and he touched his arm wrapped in strips of cloth.
After walking for a while, it was getting dark, Lao Xu found a good position and beckoned us to light a fire and rest.
Lao Xu is indeed very professional, the place is backed by a large weathered stone wall, as long as the fire is lit, there is no worries.
He looked around, as if relieved, and said that if there was a kuller in this place, then there would be no dead man's hands - kuller is a very timid thing, and his senses are very keen, but if there is the slightest disturbance, he will flee immediately, which is a natural warning bell.
As he spoke, he grabbed a lot.
Not to mention, that thing ran really fast, and it was difficult for us to catch it, but fortunately, Lao Xu was experienced, so he quickly grabbed a large handful, took a skewer and put it in his mouth from the back of the hole, and roasted it on the fire.
That thing looks very much like a gecko that has eaten fat, round, a very disgusting yellow, it is a protective color, it is easy to see when lying on the sand, and I don't know what to eat to grow so fat, roasted, the yellow skin bursts open, and rolls out the white tender meat, which is bubbling with oil.
I have eaten toad legs at most before, and I am disgusted when I look at those with claws and tails, not to mention the stupid son of a landlord's family, not to mention the dumb baran, he would rather take some vitamin supplements, Cheng Xinghe took a wait-and-see attitude at first, but the roasted kuhler exuded a very strange aroma, and he was hooked again, and soon ate a mouth full of oil, beckoning us to taste it quickly, saying that it tasted like grilled fish.
Dumb Balan looked at him and was about to vomit, and asked if there was anything in the world that he didn't eat?
Cheng Xinghe waved his hand and said that he couldn't think of it, he had even dug up the soil in the flower platform and eaten it, and he was hungry when he was full, not to mention the meat.
What do I pull if I eat soil for a long time? Mud?
At this time, I saw Bai Huoxiang staring at Lao Xu, so I asked her in a low voice What was wrong?
White Herb continued, "Did you see what he ate?" ”
Lao Xu took out a slimy thing from Kuler's mouth, like crab roe, and wiped it directly into his mouth.
Herb told me that it was the animal's poison glands.
My heart exploded, and I remembered that Lao Xu has a hobby, that is, he likes to eat poisonous things, like self-abuse, and the pain does not let Bai Huoxiang see it.
Bai Huoxiang didn't raise her eyelids, but her voice was vigilant, telling me to be careful Lao Xu, I'm afraid there is something hidden from us - there is something on him.
I frowned, "What?" ”
Herb ate half an egg: "Alive." ”
Alive? My heart exploded, and I immediately thought of the strip of cloth on his body.
He can't have something on his arm, right?
Not far from us, the strong man and the black man also set up camp and lit a bonfire, and the black man shrugged his hand and shrugged, still scratching his buttocks, and the strong man was like a weathered sculpture, still staring at me.
I made him look awkward, the wouldn't look at me like who was who?
Everyone ate and drank enough, and after a tired day, they began to feel sleepy, Lao Xu looked at it first, and I was second, and a few of us curled up in the sleeping bag and slept.
Cheng Xinghe ate too much - he would definitely snore as soon as he ate too much, and my head was buzzing with the noise, and I wanted to plug my ears and eyes with sand, but at this time, I suddenly heard a very strange sound, like someone was crying.
White Herbs?
No, the sleeping bag of the white herb is not far from me, and the person is already asleep.
My drowsiness disappeared all at once.
So I kicked Cheng Xinghe out of the way, and I heard Lao Xu talking: "If I can do it, I won't be able to see you again......"
What about phone calls?
Moreover, the voice is weird, like pinching your throat, which is very different from the daytime.
I sat down, Lao Xu was in a daze, but when he looked up and saw me coming, he seemed to be startled, and reached out and covered his arm: "Master, why did you come out?" ”
His arm was on the other side of his body, and I didn't see anything on it, but I saw that he quickly re-wrapped the strip of cloth.
When I asked him, he wouldn't say, so I didn't ask, just pointed to the back of the stone wall: "Did you hear a strange sound?" ”
Lao Xu was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Oh, that's the sound of the wind blowing through the whistle in the desert, master, you don't have to be afraid." ”
There are some weathered stones with holes in the desert, which make a sound when the wind blows, and are called whistle eyes by the locals.
Did you hear it wrong?
I glanced at the time and said I won't sleep anymore, you can rest first.
Lao Xu seemed to be afraid that I would find something, so he hurriedly went back, and he didn't excuse himself.
I was bored and took a skewer and stabbed the fire, and at this time everything was silent, except for the strange sound of the wind blowing and the crackling of sparks, I could hear nothing—the strong men and they also slept.
I stood up and shook my joints, but when I looked up, I suddenly felt that something was wrong.
Kuler likes to be warm, just now he lit the fire, and he was lying on the sand not far from us rubbing the heat, watching people fry goosebumps, but now, there is not a single one left in that large area of Kuller, and I don't know where to go.
Strong men near their fire, nor either.
Kueller is on guard, they ran away, does it mean that something bad is approaching?
"Click...... Click......"
At this moment, there was a faint sound behind us.
When I turned around, I saw a small figure standing out of the light of the caravan, as if eating something.
My heart exploded, that figure, that is, the size of a seven or eight-year-old child - how could there be children in such a place?
And...... There was a camel in the caravan who had a very strange temper, and he would definitely react when he saw a living person, but the camel was honest now, motionless, and did not make any movement.
It can't be that you know this figure, unless, it's afraid.
