Chapter 4061 (four thousand and sixty-one) fallen leaves
The man wearing the little gray hat comforted himself silently. He wanted to stand up, but felt that his legs were weak and it seemed difficult to stand up quickly. He knew that if he stood up suddenly at this moment, he might not be able to stand still. If the fall made a sound, it would be even more noticeable.
So the man wearing the little gray hat decided to stand up slowly, but he felt that even if he stood slowly, his legs seemed to be shaking slightly.
He thought: Otherwise... why don't I stand up first and take it slow before talking? What if something else falls from above? I must never make any weird noises again!
While he was thinking, he raised his head and glanced upward.
At this time, another leaf happened to fall, and he could see it clearly.
Because he saw the leaves falling, of course he didn't hide or make any strange noise.
The leaves touched his face lightly as they fell.
He found that the feeling was very similar to the feeling when the thing that touched his nose had made contact with him.
At this moment, he suddenly understood: What touched my nose just now, and what I didn't see clearly what it was the second time, were all leaves, right?
Just as he was thinking, he lowered his head and saw the third leaf falling to the ground.
The man wearing the little gray hat looked at the leaves on the ground and thought: That's right! It must have been leaves three times! There is nothing on the ground, there are leaves on the ground! Just now I always thought I would see something else besides leaves, but of course I couldn’t find it! Is the fact that the three leaves falling from the tree have something to do with me leaning against the tree? Maybe they were about to fall, but as soon as I leaned on them and touched them, they moved even more violently, and then they fell? So the other leaves on the ground at this time have fallen before? For example, it was blown down by the wind before...
Just when he thought of the word "windy", his slightly relaxed mood suddenly became tense again. He thought about what they had told Tie Hongyan about the wind and yellow sand, and what they had said about himself. The cry of strange things.
The man wearing the little gray hat forced himself to think of other things at this time, so that he would not be so scared. He thought: What happened just now has passed. Now I am near the high tent house, and the young patriarch is not far from me. There are alchemists doing magic here, why should I still be afraid because of what happened before? Besides, it was just leaves falling, so why should I be so scared?
While thinking about it, he suddenly felt that his previous situation was difficult to understand. He thought: It’s really strange! It's obviously just leaves falling, why didn't I see it clearly the first two times? Forget it if you don’t see it clearly, you still haven’t felt that it’s actually the fallen leaves touching your nose, or the leaves falling from in front of you? It doesn’t matter if I don’t feel it, why do I think it has something to do with ghosts? Why is this so?
The man wearing the little gray hat suddenly thought of what he had heard from a man much older than him: "Some people are sometimes so fearful that they can't even see things clearly and feel abnormal. Even if they see a shadow, they will be afraid." As a monster, even a piece of snack can be regarded as a devil..."
There was a lot more behind that man's words. The man wearing the little gray hat couldn't remember it so clearly at the moment, but suddenly he felt that the man's words could explain why he couldn't even see the falling leaves clearly before, and he couldn't feel what they were, so he was so frightened. That's the case. (End of chapter)
