The years of reselling the haunted house

The work and rest time is relatively fixed, and it is the same for several consecutive days.

Does this mean that there is also a certain purpose on the side of Danqiu kid.If there is nothing unexpected about this purpose, it should be to find the third uncle.

In fact, it's not that I didn't have doubts like Pang Dahai at the beginning, but I didn't want to face this reality.Because this is the only clue we can control at present, and it is this clue that supports our will.Including the old horse, who was exhausted, but still gritted his teeth and persisted.

If this thread is broken, the willpower that supports us will also break down.Then whether we can get out of this mountain alive will be an unknown.

So I can only firmly believe that these three Danqiu brats will lead us to find Third Uncle.This belief has never wavered.

Fortunately, Ma Di has rich experience, and the mountains are densely forested, and there are water swamps and mountain springs flowing everywhere.So all along, our food and drink can still be guaranteed, and Tie Zhu can occasionally catch a bird, a rabbit or something, and give us a tooth-beating sacrifice.Otherwise, there is no physical strength to toss around with the three little ghosts.

Even so, the running around in the past few days still made us physically exhausted.

So much so that we stayed at the same place this time, and no one had the energy to find food for the whole morning.It's just three people lying on their backs on a flat ground to rest.

And the special dog food we brought to Tie Zhu has also been eaten up, and now he is basically self-sufficient.

I lay on the grass and waited until the afternoon sun was about to sink, and then I got up from the ground.

But Ma Di and Pang Dahai are still sleeping.Tie Zhu didn't know where to play.This guy's physical strength is beyond ordinary. We are tired like dogs, but he is full of energy.

But at this moment, I suddenly heard Tie Zhu barking.

Because the terrain here is relatively open, there was a sudden barking of a dog, which made me unable to tell which direction it came from.

At the beginning, I didn't care too much.He thought it was Tie Zhu who was playing crazy, so where is he?

Who knows, the dog barked one after another.

That's when I realized something was wrong.

I picked up the Dragon Subduing Wooden Sword, roughly identified the source of the sound, and wanted to see what was going on.

Fortunately, the cry of the iron pillar continued, which made me constantly correct the route and search forward.

Tie Zhu's cry became more and more clear, and I gradually approached Tie Zhu.

Chapter 672 Footprints of the Left Foot

I didn't worry too much when I heard its cry, because I have been working with Tie Zhu for a long time, and I can sort out some information from its call.

Its cry is not like a warning that it has encountered an enemy, but more like it has discovered something and is reporting to us.

Sure enough, when I passed through a small bush next to it, I found the iron pillar.

The iron pillar was screaming at something on the ground.

I ran over in a hurry, and Tie Zhu stopped barking when he saw me running, and wagged his tail around me.

I stroked its fur and patted its head.

I have basically figured out Tie Zhu's habits, even if he is a spirit dog, he still has the characteristics of a dog.It needs the encouragement of the master and the approval of the master.

It is the kind of unreserved dedication to the master.And the simple action of you patting its forehead is enough to make it excited for a long time.

There was nothing special about where the iron pillar was facing the bark.But I know Tie Zhu won't just call it that for no reason.

I had to squat down to search carefully.

After I picked up the weeds, I realized that there was a footprint on the ground.

It's footprints, not shoe prints.

Perhaps the grass floor here had been wet before, the footprints were very clear on it, and the five toes were also clearly identifiable.

"Footprints?" I murmured to myself, and then followed the grass to look for it.

Sure enough, at every distance, a footprint will be found.But the strange thing is that the footprints are all from the left foot.

And the distance between each footprint is about two meters.

Look at the footprints, it should be a person's footprints.But this distance is definitely not the distance that a person can stay in normal walking.

What's more, there is only one foot here.There is only the footprint of the left foot, so where is the footprint of the right foot?

It was when Tie Zhu found the footprints that he barked.

So who is this left behind?We searched all the way, and found no clues except Chu Liuyan's bloody robe.

Could this footprint be another clue?

I measured the size of the footprint with my hand. It should be very small, not the size 43 big foot of my third uncle.It shouldn't be Chu Liuyan either.

It also relieved me a little.

Apart from this footprint, there is no other abnormality.I also returned to the place where we rested with a heavy heart.

When I went back, I saw that Ma Su had also woken up and was looking around. I was relieved to find that I had gone back, and asked, "Where did you go? I was scared to death. When I opened my eyes, there was no one there. "

I waved my hand and told Ma Su what I had just discovered.

For this, Ma Su didn't have a good judgment, but only said that it might be because the ground there was dry and wet, and the footprint of his right foot just stepped on the dry ground, so it didn't show up.

At present, only such an explanation tends to be reasonable.

Since this person is neither Third Uncle nor Chu Liuyan, there is no need for us to go to the bottom of the matter to find out who he is.

I saw that Ma Di was still a little tired, so I asked Ma Di: "Old Ma, how are you doing? Can you do it at night?"

Ma Di smiled wryly: "It's okay if you can. I told you to leave me alone, but you refused. Since you can't leave me behind, how can I hold you back at this time."

I knew that Ma Di was also trying to support me, so I nodded and said, "Old Ma, I thank you on behalf of my third uncle."

Ma Di waved his hand: "Stop, let me declare again, although you, the third uncle, are not worry-free, but I am coming with you, not for that stinky Taoist priest, but for those strange creatures. Look, I am not Have you gained anything?"

With that said, Ma Su patted his pocket.I knew he was referring to the bottle of poisonous earthworm, which is what he called Ruan Chan.

Since the old horse said that we can persevere, we still decided to continue marching at night. The top priority is to cultivate our health and rest, and reserve energy for night operations.

We seized the time and found some food and picked some dog's head mushrooms before dark.

Everything is going on in an orderly manner.Although all this is very boring, time still passes quickly.

We ate, and cooked dog head mushrooms for those Danqiu little ghosts again.

I put the pot of dog's head mushrooms on a stone in the distance as usual.

A few of us packed our things and waited in place.

According to the past practice, those little ghosts will appear soon, they will drink the dog's head mushroom soup, and then lead us to continue to look for the third uncle.

But this time, we retreated to the original place and squatted there for more than half an hour, but there was still no movement.

I was a little anxious, so I stood up and looked in the direction where the Danqiu kid might appear.

It was pitch black over there, the night wind was blowing, and the weeds were swaying.The leaves rustled, but no one appeared.

Pang Dahai whispered from behind: "Boss, what's going on? There is no movement at all. These little brats must have left here, right?"

I shook my head, noncommittal.

Although we formed a tacit understanding with those little ghosts for a few days, we still couldn't and didn't dare to keep too close to them because of their identities as Danqiu ghosts.There is no physical contact with them like Grandma Zhang.

We don't know those little ghosts.Don't know their habits, don't know their temper.

So we dare not act rashly, lest we break the hard-won balance and tacit understanding between us and them.

But today seems to be really different from usual, as if there is a premonition that something will happen.I haven't figured out about the footprints during the day, and it seems that there is something wrong with the little devils at night.

We squatted on the spot and waited for more than ten minutes. Looking at the sky, it seemed that it was almost past midnight.

Now Tie Zhu didn't issue any indicative warning here.

According to our experience, after a while, those little ghosts should not appear again.

Pang Dahai was a little impatient, he held the Dragon Subduing Wooden Sword, and said, "Boss, wait here, I'll go over and have a look. Could it be that these guys drank all the soup and we didn't notice? "

I nodded: "Be careful."

Pang Dahai responded, held his sword, bent his waist, and approached the stone with the aluminum pot a little bit.

The fat man got there quickly, looked at the pot, and waved at us.

We also came to the front of the pot. The dog's head mushroom soup I cooked was put in it intact, without being drunk.This shows that the three Danqiu brats did not show up.

My heart sank, I was really afraid of something. If the little ghosts never show up again, it means that the only clue we have is broken.

Chapter 673

It seems that this method of being controlled by others is really unreliable.It is far less secure than having everything in your own hands.

Everyone wants to take their fate into their own hands, but it is easy to say, but too difficult to do.As long as we have other methods, we won't pin our hopes on a few brats.

Just when we were at a loss, Tie Zhu who came with us suddenly let out a low growl in another direction.

This shows that at this point, Tie Zhu finally discovered the abnormality.

And this time, Tie Zhu's bark sounded a little hasty, and it was a barking of a demonstration nature.This shows that there should be an enemy situation ahead.

"Quick, go and have a look." I shouted anxiously.

Because there is a dense forest in the direction of the iron pillar barking.We also don't know what's going on inside.The darkness covering the sky in the dense forest is daunting.

But at this time, we all knew in our hearts that even if we knew there was danger there, we had to go and have a look.

As if we were facing a big enemy, we lit a torch and moved slowly towards the dense forest next to each other.

In this dense forest, we have already become the most vulnerable group, and we have to be a hundred times more careful.So every few steps we had to stop and listen.

From the edge of the dense forest, we gradually went deep into it.

I don't know why, although we haven't seen the situation in the dense forest, every step we take makes our hearts feel extremely oppressed.

It seemed to be enveloped by a powerful aura in the dense forest.

My heart began to beat wildly, and I tried to take a deep breath, hoping to calm down as much as possible, but it still didn't help.

I noticed that Ma Di and Pang Dahai looked very dignified, and I believe they would have the same feeling as me.

Especially Tie Zhu, when he was outside, he barked a few times from time to time.Since entering the dense forest, he hasn't yelled again, just let out that dull low growl in his throat.

All phenomena indicated that there must be a problem in this forest, and the problem is not small.

This makes us more anxious.

This dense forest is very thick, and the terrain is somewhat undulating. It took about 10 minutes for us to gradually go in from the outside.

From the beginning to the end, except for the rustling wind, there was no sound in the dense forest.

But the more this happened, the more oppressive the atmosphere became.There seems to be a sense of calm between storms.

And this kind of atmosphere cannot withstand any damage.

That is to say, any kind of change may destroy the calm before the storm.

So we are also more cautious.

Finally, I found that the trees in the forest ahead were sparse.With the light of the torch, I found that there are many trees here, all of which were broken from the roots or from the interruption.

At the break, the stubble is obvious.

I took a breath, is there a beast here?It seems that only a beast like a mountain bear can have such strength.

At this time, the growl that Tie Zhu made in his throat became deeper and deeper, and I noticed that the hair on its neck stood up a little.

I even saw the protruding horn on the top of its head glowing white against the firelight.

I felt a chill in my heart, the bump on Tie Zhu's forehead, I always thought it was a kind of bone hyperplasia, a kind of disease.The top is bare, without a hair, it looks ugly.This time I brought it back. If I have enough time, I would like to take the iron pillar for surgery to remove it.

Unexpectedly, until today, I discovered its single-horn-like protrusion, and there has been such a change.

"Old... old horse, look quickly."

I greeted Ma Di in a low voice and asked him to look at Tie Zhu's forehead too.

As a result, at this moment, Tie Zhu suddenly let out a low growl, and rushed forward quickly.

"What's going on?" Ma Di didn't see it clearly, so he yelled and followed closely.

The three of us were also afraid that something would happen to the iron pillar, so we followed the iron pillar and ran forward for a while, only to find a slightly wider field appeared in front of us.

The trees there are more sparse, so an open space in the middle is revealed.Next to that piece of land flowed a stream, gurgling from the mountain, and the sound of the water filled my ears.

Tie Zhu ran to the clearing and stopped, staring intently at the center of the clearing, and could vaguely hear a creepy growl from his throat.
