Chapter 119: Singing and Dancing
Gu Juan drank the last sip of water and sighed heavily.
If it was left in normal times, he would have jumped up with joy when he knew that the marks on the red clothes had disappeared, but now in this situation, she is the thigh he has to hug, and now that the thigh won't let you hug it, how can you let the attachment hanging on it be happy?
Therefore, the nightmare of the sixth night may still come, and he can only rely on his own strength to fight to the death.
There is no choice, there is no way, in this world where the level of civilization is not very high, weakness is the original sin.
You're weak, you're stupid.
If you're weak, you deserve to be unable to live.
Thinking of this, he calmed down all of a sudden, and even wrapped his deerskin coat tightly, and quickly fell asleep with the strength of wine.
In the middle of the night, Gu Juan woke up from his sleep, washed his face with cold water, and then sat cross-legged, with a patrol axe on his lap, breathing for a long time, quietly waiting for the arrival of the second sleep.
Call......
When he recovered from his confusion, he suddenly found that this time the unfolding was different from the last time, it was no longer the dark and terrifying dark path, but warm and bright, and it was inexplicably integrated into a certain atmosphere of unity, harmony, warmth, and cheerfulness.
Laughter, singing and dancing.
He found himself in the middle of a large crowd, gathered around a burning bonfire, singing songs he didn't understand, dancing in awkward groups, and circling the fire round and round.
Farther away, there were more people standing there watching, banging to the beat of the heart.
Gu Juan remained silent, just secretly raised his vigilance, and then twisted his body vigorously with the rhythm, pretending to blend in with this atmosphere.
But after just a few jumps, he felt overwhelmed and couldn't keep up with the others.
Not because this dance is too embarrassing, but because it is too difficult, the head, neck, shoulders, chest, hands, waist, abdomen, hips, legs and feet, almost every part of the body has to make different movements with the beat, and it is a coordinated movement, even with his current body coordination, it is almost difficult to do.
Also, he was feeling tired.
Although his body became lighter and lighter, as if he was about to float, his spirit seemed to be put on a set of heavy shackles, and he was extremely tired and tired.
Suddenly, Gu Juan saw that someone had retreated from the group dance circle and joined the crowd beating the rhythm on the sidelines, and then he couldn't bear the pain of continuing to dance, and quietly slipped down.
Crash......
The dancing crowd parted a gap, automatically making way for him to leave.
He thought about it for a while, but decided that he couldn't go far from the campfire and face the unknown danger in the endless darkness farther away, so he found a nearby place and squeezed himself in.
The two people next to him politely moved out of the way a little, allowing Gu Ju, who had retreated, to join in smoothly.
Gu Juan suddenly narrowed his eyes, and found that he had just withdrawn from the group dance team for a moment, and at least four or five people ran out of the onlookers, vying for the suddenly vacated spot.
Oh, the square dance troupe he can't stay in is actually a treasure place that others flock to?
This dream is so clear, and it is not terrifying, I just don't know when these ancient tribes will kneel down and chant that name, and bow to its phantom.
Gu Juan tried his best to empty his brain, so that the word Ji Yan did not appear in his thoughts, and then he looked at the two people on the left and right who gave up their positions, but he was stunned suddenly.
At the same time, a chill suddenly surged from the bottom of my heart.
Standing beside him turned out to be two acquaintances.
Standing on his left is Hu Yuanwai, and the one on the right is Hu Yuanwai's concubine Xiaoyun.
The two of them didn't seem to know him anymore, and they had been beating desperately to the beat, and their faces were full of fanatical expressions on their twisted to the extreme, staring directly at the quietly burning bonfire.
Gu Ju's heart skipped a beat, and then he carefully observed the crowd standing around him, and found that including Zheng Huyuan, Li Daoshi, Wang Xiucai, and Feng Cunzheng, etc., all familiar faces were here, their faces were distorted and fanatical, and they were clapping their hands together in song.
Suddenly, a terrible thought came to my mind.
Is he, like them, dead?
Has the body been turned to ashes and scattered in the wind, or is it lying on the ground with a twisted expression, and the corpse is starting to harden and cold?
A series of gloomy thoughts flashed through his mind, and Gu Ju's mood instantly became irritable, and he subconsciously grasped his right finger bone and touched the patrol axe that was a little hot.
Hack them all to death!
Anyway, these people have already been declared dead, and even if they are still here, they are at most just marionettes subject to alien domination, so what's the point of continuing to exist?
Hack them to death, force them out of the throat, and then fight a happy battle, even if they die, at least they can leave a little sound of movement, it is better than dying quietly like this.
Before he regained his senses, he didn't know how long he had been dancing by the fire, and now he had become a crowd of onlookers watching those people dance awkwardly, and this feeling of waiting was really upsetting to the extreme.
Wait any longer, with his ability to analyze and judge who is always hit by reality, I'm afraid that he won't be able to analyze anything useful, so he just breaks the jar and breaks it, picks up the axe and goes over recklessly!
Wait, maybe his ashes will float out thousands of miles away!
Rumble!
Gu Juan let out a low snort, suddenly turned out the axe, and slashed at Hu Yuanwai's face without warning.
"I didn't protect you last time, I'm really sorry!"
Hu Yuanwai fell in response, and his head flew high and fell in the direction of the bonfire.
Since Gu Juan had already made a violent move, he didn't stop, and slashed Xiao Yun's face with an axe.
"Send you one to live and die together!"
Click!
The upper half of Xiao Yun's face also flew high, falling straight towards the bonfire.
Crackling!
Two heads fell into the fire one after another, and a crisp pop suddenly sounded.
.............................................
It was also the sixth night of Gu Ju.
It was the middle of the night, and the town was shrouded in darkness and silence.
Only the two men who worked on the watch, wrapped in thick cotton clothes and hats, never slept and came out of the resting house on time, striking gongs and reminding the townspeople.
At the first watch, the weather is dry and dry, be careful of the fire candles; at the second watch, close the doors and windows, prevent theft and theft; and when the third watch, sleep quietly and peacefully, and be safe!
After the child, the two old widowers hired by Youxie Town to be watchmen tightened their shabby cotton clothes, opened the door and returned to the hut where they lived, and looked at the brazier at first sight.
The two of them breathed cold, took off the outermost layer of cotton robes, carefully folded them, and then reversed the hourglass of the time, sat around the brazier, and warmed themselves up with the half-pot of liquor left.
Changing husband is a black and white reversal of hard work, especially as it is now approaching a harsh winter, every time you go out to fight is a great torture for people, go out and turn around, as if the whole body has not obeyed the command, frozen to the feeling of stiffness and numbness.
Only by surviving the fifth watch of the second hour can they be regarded as having completed the day's work, and can lie in bed and sleep peacefully until the afternoon of the next day, making up for the deficit of sleepless all night.
Suddenly, the wooden door of the hut creaked softly, and it was slowly pushed open.
