Become a cat [Zhan Zhao]

When A Lan was waiting outside the village, it was actually calm at first.Zhan Zhao's figure quickly disappeared around the corner at the end of the road, blocked by overlapping houses and trees.She couldn't see it even on her tiptoes, so she simply sat down on a big rock by the roadside and waited quietly for Zhan Zhao.

The night is long, especially for a lonely traveler.In the early days, Ah Lan was able to look around in the dim twilight, estimating in his heart when Zhan Zhao would return, and guessing what kind of weird things happened in this quiet village.But soon the darkness completely enveloped the whole land, even if she opened her eyes wide, she couldn't see things in the distance clearly.

The night wind is cold, even though it is not autumn and winter, Alan still feels cold in thin clothes.She couldn't help but miss her cat, and she didn't know where the little thing went.Ah Lan couldn't help sighing, why didn't she dare to say anything when her benefactor glared at her?If the cat knew that he didn't wait for his benefactor just because he was afraid of being angry, he didn't know if he would be annoyed.

If Zhan Zhao knew what Ah Lan was thinking at this moment, he would probably sneer and ruthlessly deny her.

A-Lan sighed again, her feet were still aching, but it was much better than before.After Zhan Zhao finished straightening the bones for her, the feeling that her whole leg was so painful and numb that every step she took disappeared.Alan couldn't help but think, is Engong a wandering doctor?But he carries a sword, does the doctor carry a sword?He can fly, Lang Zhong probably can't fly.

After thinking about it for a while, Ah Lan gradually began to get upset. At this moment, she saw Zhan Zhao's figure appearing at the end of the road again.

"Benevolence!" Ah Lan immediately stood up excitedly, waving at Zhan Zhao.

Sure enough, Zhan Zhao walked over quickly and said, "I just went to ask, and no one in this village wants to let outsiders stay overnight."

"Ah?" Ah Lan couldn't help but asked in frustration, "Then what should we do?"

Zhan Zhao said again: "However, I heard from the villagers that there is a yizhuang near here, so you can rest your feet. If you don't mind, let's make do with it for the night."

"I don't dislike it, I don't dislike it," Alan waved his hands quickly, "I'm not even afraid of sleeping in the wild, and it would be great to have a roof to shelter from the wind and rain."

Zhan Zhao nodded when he heard the words, "In that case, let's go, it will get late later." Then he turned around and led the way, Alan was stunned for a moment before following, and told himself in his heart: benefactor can recite You have done well all the way, and you still want your benefactor to carry you again, do you think you are a three-year-old child?

However, Lan still had a hard time following along this way, and Zhan Zhao seemed to be really worried that it would be too late, so he walked fast all the way.Ah Lan was able to walk with a limp on crutches at first, but later she had to run after Zhan Zhao. When Yi Zhuang appeared in the night, she was already sweating profusely and out of breath.

This place is really desolate, not far away is an endless wilderness.The weeds, nearly half the height of a person, made a "sizzling" sound in the night wind, as if something unknown was whispering.The moon was completely covered by the clouds, almost no light came through, and the night was as thick as ink that could not be melted.And the Yizhuang in front of him is like a giant beast that chooses and devours people in the night, and the two open doors that are tempting to take the bait are its bloody mouth.

"It's here." Zhan Zhao seemed to have finally realized his conscience at this moment, he turned around and pulled Alan, dragging her staggeringly in.The threshold of this Yizhuang is quite high, and A Lan still stumbled on it. The injured foot was in great pain for a moment, and even his eyes turned black.

There was a musty smell in Yizhuang, accompanied by some kind of indescribable stench.However, Zhan Zhao didn't seem to care, and pulled Alan tightly to walk all the way in.The desolation inside is only slightly better than outside, the weeds grow up to the height of a person's knees, tightly covering the ground.Silently and quickly, they walked through one door after another, without stopping, until they walked out of an empty house in the deepest part.

After A-lan followed Zhan Zhao to a stop, he finally couldn't bear the pain and bent down.She was roughly pulled all the way, and her injured foot was twisted several times, and now her whole leg is shaking with pain.She rubbed her ankles and panted, and secretly glanced at Zhan Zhao from the bottom up with some aggrievedness.

However, this glance made Ah Lan feel as if she had fallen into an ice cave, and her whole body was icy cold.

Standing beside her was Zhan Zhao, who was clearly a monster!A scarlet, foul-smelling monster with all its flesh turned out!

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Ah Lan immediately yelled in horror, and fell to the ground, but was picked up by the monster's neck the next moment.She felt suffocated and grabbed the air with both hands, and even caught something cold and soft a few times.A Lan was so strangled that she almost rolled her eyes, and the crutch in her hand fell to the ground with a "clang".The monster carried her effortlessly, and swaggered into the room step by step.I saw that the room was full of coffins, and the monster picked and picked and went through one coffin after another, finally found a satisfactory one, and threw A Lan into it casually.

Alan's eyes were full of golden flowers from the fall, and before he had time to struggle and resist, the coffin lid was closed immediately.

With the sound of "Karang", all light, sound, and temperature seemed to be cut off for an instant, leaving only darkness, dead silence and coldness.

Alan paused for a moment, then kicked and hit the coffin lid like crazy, screaming desperately.But the coffin lid seemed to have been nailed firmly to the coffin, no matter how hard Alan tried, it would not budge.

After shouting for an unknown amount of time, Ah Lan finally stopped out of breath.There was only boundless darkness in front of her eyes, and her own heartbeat seemed to be infinitely amplified in her ears. The stuffy air made it almost impossible to breathe, and the smell of lime made people want to vomit.

That's the smell of death.

Alan was trapped in the coffin and couldn't even turn over. She opened her eyes blankly, feeling the warm liquid slowly running down her cheeks to her earlobes.

Will she die?Even if she wasn't suffocated in the coffin, that monster would kill her sooner or later.A Lan realized this very clearly, she felt a kind of dazed and unreal fear, and couldn't help but tremble.

In the past ten years, A Lan also had this kind of fear.She was often terrified when she was so hungry that she could barely move, when she was dying of a fever and dying of illness, and when she was alone in the middle of the night.

But never once like this.

Alan felt that she was going to die, and there was no hope of surviving.She was not reconciled, but she didn't know what to do. Her chaotic mind was like a ball of yarn that hadn't been taken care of, it was a mess.Alan suddenly thought of her cat. She missed the warmth of the cat's soft body and the time spent with the cat at night.

A cat won't even know it's dead here, will it miss itself?A Lan inexplicably turned this thought, and gradually felt less afraid.

At this moment, there was a rustling sound outside, as if someone dragged something in.

Alan instinctively held his breath, although it was completely useless.

Suddenly there was a "bang", followed by the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground, hoarse panting, struggling, and the sound of sharp knives piercing into the body.When all the sounds ceased, a deathly silence fell.A Lan's eyes widened, she couldn't guess what was going on outside, her whole body was so stiff that she didn't dare to move.

But soon, there was another movement. "Karang", "Boom", "Karang", "Boom", repeated constantly, and getting closer and closer to Alan.

That was the sound of the lids of several nearby coffins being lifted and put back.who is it?Is it that monster?What should she do?Sitting still?no way.

Time slowed down as if a lifetime had passed, and went so fast that it seemed like a blink of an eye. "Karang", the coffin lid in front of Ah Lan's eyes was finally lifted, and the cold wind mixed with fresh air poured in.She narrowed her eyes, everything seemed to be stretched infinitely.First a corner of the coffin lid was lifted, then half, and finally most of it was exposed.

It was too late and then too fast, Ah Lan rushed out like a little tiger! She was like a desperate beast struggling for death, with such strength that the person who lifted the coffin lid also fell down on the ground. land.She screamed and kicked and beat her indiscriminately, but she was quickly grabbed by both hands, and she couldn't break free no matter what.

Then, the familiar voice suddenly sounded in her ear:

"Alan! It's me!"

Ah Lan immediately recognized that it was Zhan Zhao's voice, and the scene in front of her changed from blurry to clear, revealing Zhan Zhao's anxious face.

But she still didn't believe it, still crying and struggling: "Don't come here, let me go, monster!"

"It's me, Alan, it's me!" Zhan Zhao didn't know how to comfort the hysterical girl in his arms. He grabbed Alan's hand and pressed it to his neck, telling her over and over again, "I'm not that monster, really. .”

Alan's struggle gradually weakened, she looked at Zhan Zhao with tears in her eyes, and felt the pulsating tendons under her palm.

Zhan Zhao looked really embarrassed, his body was covered with grass leaves, and there was a streak of ashes on his cheek.And his eyes shot anxious light, closely following Alan's every movement.

In fact, Zhan Zhao has never experienced such a thing in his life.He wandered around the rivers and lakes, and the most dangerous things he encountered were outnumbered enemies and life and death, but he never had such strange things happen around him.Therefore, when he found out that the person beside him was not Ah Lan, he almost exhausted all his strength to maintain his composure.

That's when the monster pretending to be Alan kicked open the gate.

A Lan has an injury on his foot, Zhan Zhao is very clear about this.He knew that with Alan's condition, it was impossible to kick the door with the bolt open.So when the "evil man-eating ghost" was brought up, Zhan Zhao knew that Alan beside him was probably disguised by someone else.

In this way, it is very likely that Ah Lan has already been murdered, or taken away by bad guys.Zhan Zhao immediately decided to use his tricks and use himself as a bait to find the thief's lair.Because according to the man, two corpses, a man and a woman, will appear in the village the next day.Then it is very possible that this kidnapper will only start after he catches a man and a woman.

This is Alan's only chance of survival.

But at the beginning, Zhan Zhao really didn't take the ghost story seriously.He thought it was a gangster who was good at disguise, pretending to be someone else's appearance to trick people into taking the bait, and then committing murder.So Zhan Zhao deliberately pulled "A Lan" out of the house. He knew that no matter who the people around him were, he probably wouldn't be the target of the target—a quack with a weapon, as long as he was a little clever bandit. She will avoid her edge—this is also the reason for "A Lan" to break into that family with an excuse, and "her" target may be that family.

Then it is necessary to lure the thief away to ensure the safety of this family.Therefore, Zhan Zhao deliberately pretended to be afraid of ghosts, so as to escape from here, and also to make "her" relax her vigilance.So everything after that was logical, Zhan Zhao carried "her" on his back, and walked towards Yizhuang.

If it was just a suspicion before, then when Zhan Zhao made an excuse to carry Alan on his back, this suspicion became a solid fact.He carried Alan on his back, and the guy lying on his back at this moment definitely weighed more.

Zhan Zhao was on guard all the way, but the only thing that surprised him was the thing on his back—Zhan Zhao’s martial arts were strong enough, and he was sure to subdue the person on his back before he could make a move— — but he didn't expect that it was not a human being at all, but an ugly and terrifying monster.Disturbed by this terrified emotion, he was only one step too late to take that hard blow.

He passed out for a while, and when the monster dragged him into Yizhuang, Zhan Zhao came back to life with his strong nerves.He used all his tricks, and Zhan Zhao didn't kill it until the monster led him into the room full of coffins.In order to find A Lan, he even lifted a lot of coffin boards, which can be regarded as a wicked thing.At that time, he was confused when he was concerned, and he forgot to call Alan directly.But for the sake of killing ghosts, he should be able to make up for both.

Zhan Zhao thought to himself mockingly, and let Alan cry loudly in his arms.

It must have been horrifying for a child of this age to experience such a thing.Zhan Zhao had some pity, but also some subtle disdain.Women, or girls, are fragile, timid creatures, and a mouse can make a fuss about them.

Suddenly, just when Zhan Zhao was about to push Alan away, his heart suddenly felt a sharp pain.He snorted, and his expression changed almost immediately.

Midnight has come.

The author has something to say: hysteria is actually a transliteration of hysteria, which is a foreign word.
