Chapter 983 The Strange Clearing
Antonio’s wish came true that night.
He saw many people, but none of them were alive.
The afterglow of the setting sun spread to the earth with the last trace of warmth, and they camped in an open space to rest.
From the perspective of the carriage, it seems that this area is flat and empty, not far from the main road. When I got down, I discovered that the ground was actually paved with straight stone tiles. It's just that I don't know how much time has been wasted, and the weeds and dust growing in the cracks of the bricks have obscured its original appearance.
Lu Xinyuan pulled out a few handfuls of grass, wiped off the floating dust on the bricks, and tapped the brick surface with his knuckles: "The stone is hard and the bricks are thick. How can there be such bricks in such a wilderness?"
"Is it weird?" Antonio moved things down from the carriage, "Maybe it's an abandoned road, or a town?"
"Maybe, but when we came along, we saw most of the bricks It's a large square brick. I've never seen such a palm-sized oblong brick before..." Lu Xinyuan stood up and looked into the distance, and said to Lin Fan, "I'll explore further to see if I can find out here. What a place it was.”
“I’ll go too!” Antonio can’t stand new things, even if he’s exploring the road.
He jumped and ran away with Lu Xinyuan.
Melinir said something, leaving Lin Fan alone to watch the car while he went to collect firewood in the distant woods.
Lin Fan bent down to pull weeds, and actually sent out tiny wind blades, whirling and cutting against the ground. She deliberately kept her speed low, and soon a clearing was cleared. From a distance, it looked like she had really pulled it out with her hands.
Low-key breeze blew up the broken grass into the grass. Lin Fan opened the box on the ground and took out things.
When Antonio and Lu Xin came back from afar, the simple camp was all set up. Felt cushions, dishes and food, all that's missing is a bonfire in the middle.
"Hey!" Antonio picked up the wine bottle and took two sips into his mouth. "This land is really not small. There is a pool in front, and there is a broken sculpture of some kind in the middle. , it may be a fountain, but the carving feels unusual, not like something that would appear on the roadside.”
"Is there water?" Lin Fan raised his head and asked.
“That’s not true,” Antonio picked up a grape. “It has already dried up, otherwise it would not have been discarded.”
Places with water are suitable for survival, let alone this place. The ground is already paved with stone tiles.
“This place feels a bit strange.” Lu Xinyuan also sat down, “There are no traces of buildings at all, no traces of walls, and no doorposts. It seems to be simply paved with bricks. A fountain was built in the middle of such a large piece of flat land.”
But in reality, who would do such a thankless thing?
The walls of poor people's homes are still made of grass and mud. In Feinan's town, not all the houses are made of stone. Even the roads they walked on were paved with stone bricks only when they approached the town. Including the main road all the way here, it is just a flat and compacted dirt road.
Under such conditions, you say in the wilderness, in a place where there is no contact, who would bother to spend time to pave such a large area of area, with a whole fountain in the middle. The key point is that it is still abandoned...
"Could it be related to the Gods?" As soon as Lin Fan spoke, he shook his head, "No, if it is really related to the Gods, then it cannot be abandoned."< br>
Lu Xinyuan also fell into deep thought.
“Hey, why are you thinking so much?” Antonio was half lying on the carpet, leaning on the soft cushions, with his legs raised high with his back to Lin Fan, “What the hell, we are just passing by anyway. , I will leave at dawn tomorrow.”
If they weren't familiar with the place, there were too many uncertainties when walking at night, and if Lu Xinyuan and Melinir were two normal people who needed a better rest, they wouldn't have stopped there every night.
For more than forty hours a day, even Lin Fan felt tired.
I feel like I’m being forced to work overtime every day, and it’s still dark.
When he said this, the two people who couldn't think of joints were quickly relieved.
“Where is Merlin?” Lu Xinyuan realized that the bonfire had not been raised yet, and now it was only illuminated by the carriage’s two lights and the reflections from the walls of the carriage. “He went to collect firewood? How long has he been there?”
"Just follow you, front and back." Lin Fan looked at the dark forest in the distance, "Is everything going to happen?"
"No, we just came over there." Lu Xinyuan smiled. Standing up, patting his pants, "There should be less people and the efficiency will be slower. I'll go take a look and give him a light by the way."
"Go, go, hurry up!" Antonio waved his hands. Chase people away.
Lu Xinyuan removed a lamp from the carriage and carried it away.
Lin Fan was just thinking about saving more firewood during the day next time so that he didn’t have to pick it up every day, when he suddenly heard Antonio say, “What are you doing?”
"What for?" Lin Fan was a little confused. He turned around and looked at the top of the drunken man lying on his side with his head propped up.
Antonio raised his head and looked at Lin Fan beside him: "Why did you poke me just now? Don't you have something to say to me? There is no one here now, so tell me."
"..." Lin Fan saw that his expression was sincere, and he recalled something innocently, "I didn't poke you..." The night had already fallen, and the carriage reflected golden light, but where the light could not reach, the darkness Even more powerful.
A gust of wind happened to blow by, bringing a coolness to the skin. The surrounding weeds all started to sound, as if someone was whispering not far away.
Antonio's goosebumps came out, and he rolled out of the mat with a frightened face: "Don't scare me!"
Lin Fan himself was startled, looking at where he was lying just now, and moved towards the light Moved: "I didn't scare you..."
Antonio had already rushed over and overturned the place where he had just been lying.
The stone bricks on the ground were not moved at all, and the soil between the stones was slightly raised due to weeding.
Antonio searched carefully for a long time, but saw no snakes, insects, rats or ants. He could only pick up the blanket and spread it back. After thinking about it, he moved forward. "Forget it, it's probably a bug bite."
Lin Fan felt relieved and smiled to help clean up: "Are you still afraid of those things?"
The way Antonio was acting just now was obviously because he was afraid of ghosts.
He always looks like a brave king, not afraid of anything... Oh, no, he is afraid of senior brother, although he does not admit it himself.
"Where is it!" Antonio denied it, with a calm look, "I'm not afraid of some dangerous animals, in case I accidentally hurt you."
Lin Fan smiled and said nothing.
Not long after the two sat down again, the warm yellow light spots in the forest became bigger and bigger. It was Melinir and the others who had returned.
Antonio breathed a sigh of relief: "This guy, it takes you so long to collect firewood, so slow!"
Lin Fan pursed his lips and smiled, lowered his head and picked up a piece of fruit.
"Hey Beibi!" Antonio's voice suddenly became serious again, "You're not touching me now, are you?"
Lin Fan was stunned and immediately looked behind Antonio.
A white, slender thing was hooked on his belt. Without thinking, Lin Fan smashed the fruit in his hand.
"Bump!" "Crash!"
Antonio turned around and pressed down the smashed white figure, feeling his palms trembling with panic.
“What is it?” he asked Lin Fan.
“I didn’t see it clearly.” Lin Fan said with a serious face, “Wait a moment, I will take down the lamp.”
She stood up to get the lamp, but Antonio shouted, "This thing is moving, it's moving!"
Lin Fan stepped onto the carriage in two steps, took off the lamp, raised it high and jumped. Antonio's palms hurt so much that he quickly gathered his fists, held the object in his palms, and leaned in front of the lamp.
As soon as I let go of my hand, the thin white shadow jumped out impatiently and tried to burrow underground. In an instant, there was nothing in my hand.
With quick eyesight and quick hands, Lin Fan kicked up a white shadow, grabbed one, pinched it hard, and held it up to the lamp...
That was a phalanx.
It's still a human knuckle that can move, jump around, and struggle to escape control!
At around 10 o'clock in the evening, while I was working hard on drawing, my computer suddenly made a tractor-like sound
I thought it was the hard drive, but when I looked at the progress, the hard drive didn't move.
It turned out that the power supply was beeping.
The sound suddenly rang.
After a lot of effort, I moved the desktop away, moved the computer out, turned it sideways, and looked at the power supply. The fan stops making noise after being turned on and off. It feels like the fan is hitting something, but there is nothing outside. Maybe something came off inside?
It has been installed for two months and there has been no sound. Suddenly something big happens? Now it stops ringing after restarting, and I don’t know why. I’ll ask customer service tomorrow.
The desktop was in a mess and I didn’t clean it up, so I continued to draw.
Really~
