Zerg Swinger - Chapter 64
After midday, the sun hanging in the middle of the sky was covered by thick clouds. Only at the point where the cloud and the edge of the cloud meet, did a few rays of sunlight float down from the gap in the sky. When the wind blew, Xi Tian took out Bouma from his backpack and told them to put on the back coat that they had prepared earlier. This prevented the remaining warmth from flowing away from the meager body temperature.
Perhaps because of apology, I was originally scheduled to leave this morning, but it was postponed until the afternoon. Bouma had no complaints about this, and laughed with them on the way, saying that he could help the mother and the younger brother at home in the morning.
Along the way, Alice and Boomer were all talking in a different way. Xi Tian concentrated on immersing himself in his world, and neither of them dared to disturb him.
Ellis was very curious about this place, and asked Boomer about what happened to the Tusca Mountain.
Although Bouma was fourteen years old, she knew a lot about the weird things about her hometown.
“I don’t know which version of the story you have heard. I now know there are three versions. They were told by my grandfather, the village chief, and my knowledge from the big city. The molecule said.”
“Tell me about these three.” Ellis just wanted to kill the boring time.
“The most widely circulated version is what my grandfather told me. He said that fifty or sixty years ago, a group of gods suddenly came to Tusca Mountain. They came here with magical objects from the sky and built a gorgeous There is a ferocious beast trapped in the palace of Beijing. Every night, in the middle of the moon, the roar of the beast can be heard.
This beast is a poor beast. People on the planet were already poor and couldn’t afford to eat. God trapped it, and the years gradually improved.
That’s why we are now ranked as the best livable planet for 20 consecutive years.
The poor beast is always restless, but its weakness is that it is afraid of small things, such as needles. Once it is pricked, it will make a whine like a cub, which can be confusing.
In order to suppress it, the planet specially organizes the “Conifer Festival” at the beginning of each summer, praying to drive away poor animals and ensure a good harvest. “
“You’re talking about the source of the festival, right? How does it have anything to do with here?”
“My grandfather was a person who experienced it personally when he was a child, because he lived at the foot of the Tusca Mountain. He also saw poor beasts, packed in large coarse sack, twisted and writhed, and cubs screamed. The yelling sound, it was installed in the pit, and when the **** chanted a spell, poured some water in his hand, there was a puff of smoke, a screaming sound, and the screaming cry of the wild beast.”
Boomer said and gestured with her hands.
“You don’t have to describe it in such detail, I feel a little bit cold.” Ellis hugged his shoulders exaggeratedly, and looked up at the top of his head. The sky was cut by branches straight into the sky, and the light was blocked.
“What our village chief said is boring. He said that this place was a barren mountain in the past. It was contracted by a wealthy aristocrat. Jinwu hides the jiao, and every night and his beauty are lustful. The intellectuals are even more boring, saying that this is a place. It was used by a well-known business owner to do research and development, then it was struck by lightning and a fire broke out, and it has since been abandoned.”
Boomer was not interested in either of these explanations, her voice was flat, her hands behind her back, and a small stone kicked under her feet.
This mountain is not among the tourist attractions of the planet. Bouma first heard the employer call to visit here, and was very curious about why the pampered male was interested in a place that had been abandoned for a long time. But as soon as I heard that I had three times the money to take, my curiosity was thrown away. No one would have trouble with the money. Besides, the route to that dilapidated house was originally stepped out by the locals going up the mountain and hunting. After passing by and going home, the dog will be suspicious, but it is still safe along the way.
Along the way, they stopped and went, and they walked for almost three and a half hours in a single journey. Even though Ellis had always been proud of being good at keeping track of the way, he really turned faint this time.
At first Bouma talked to him, but when he got tired after walking, the three of them were silent together.
I have read a lot of novels recently, and he is boring to figure out whether the guide will cooperate with others to rob him and the hero.
Boomer stopped abruptly and said with her finger forward, “Look, it’s ahead!”
Ellis looked forward, but saw nothing. He turned around and poked Xi Tian next to him. Xi Tian stared at the front for an instant, “Is it the white wall?”
Bouma nodded and said yes.
Ellis slandered. Could it be that his eyes were out of order?
After walking for a few more minutes, the eyes suddenly opened up. The tall trees here were all uprooted. They stood under the light. The blue sky, white clouds, and sunlight returned to the field of vision in an instant, and the strong light stimulated Ellis to squint. With his eyes, he finally got a glimpse of the original appearance of this building.
The green exterior paint of the building in front has been mottled and peeled off, and when you walk to the side, you will find that the outer wall of the wall is blackened, and the internal concrete is exposed in some places. Except for the front building barely keep intact, only the back two are left. Ruined walls.
He was probably standing in the blind spot just now, Ellis thought.
The steps had been covered with years of fallen leaves and dead grass. Xi Tian saw the entrance and walked in without saying a word.
Ellis ran after him, but found Boomer standing behind him, motionless.
“Come in!” Ellis waved to him.
“No, no.” Bouma shook her head like a rattle. “There are beasts inside. I will never go in.”
Seeing that Xiongzi left without a trace, Alice was anxious, and at this moment he actually laughed angrily, “You stay here and wait for us.”
Turned around and stepped on the steps to find Xiongzi.
The walls here are white, and you can faintly see non-slip tiles under your feet, which are very rare on this planet.
He passed through one after another empty room with the door removed, and the long corridor echoed the sound of Ellis’ footsteps repeatedly.
The glass was covered with dust, cracks, and wind blew in through the gaps, bringing a burst of cold.
Ellis tightened his collar and continued to look forward.
He walked one floor, second floor, third floor, fourth floor, fifth floor, and finally saw the male figure through the glass.
He walked downstairs, but he was surprised that there was no information in this building with words indicating the previous use of the building.
Ellis walked outside the building. It turned out that the male son was between the intact building and the ruined wall. There was a dry well here. The well was filled with mud, the top layer was covered with rotting leaves, and the weeds grew stubbornly.
At this time, a gust of wind passed through the ruins, brushed their bodies, and whirled around the place a few times, whimpering like weeping.
Xi Tian opened his arms and felt the wind gently embrace him, and the light gathered on him.
He couldn’t help but said, “This is a sad place.”
They stayed for a while, seeing the trend that the sun was about to go down, followed Bouma to another shortcut, crossed to the nearest national road, and hitchhiked home.
After returning home, Doc, who had been close to Ellis, screamed at him frantically, but when Xi Tian stood in front of him, Doc was holding his tail, whispering, and retracting into his den, lying on his stomach. , Refusing to come out again and again.
