Although his back was turned to me, I could tell at a glance that the clothes he was wearing were different from those of Chang Shan and Ben. His clothes seemed to be a cloak, and the man's back also looked older. The most important thing Yes, there are no shoes on his feet, but bare feet.
At this moment, I took a step back. This man was dressed very much like the withered old man before. Could it really be him? My heartbeat kept accelerating, and my spine was trembling. In the cold wind, he had his back turned to me, which made me even more confused, what on earth did he want to do?
I slowly pulled out the diving knife from my leg, stared at his back and said, "Who are you?"
He didn't speak, and still stood motionless. Just like a statue, what tricks does he want to play, does he just want to scare me like this? Then he underestimates me too much.
The anger in my body was burning. When people are frightened to a certain level, they will become crazy. I yelled again, "Who the hell are you?"
This person was still motionless, just facing me with his back. I held the diving knife tightly and gritted my teeth and said, "Okay, you won't say anything, right? Then I'll go over and see who you are."
After I finished speaking, I walked over with the diving knife, but I had just taken two steps when he actually started to move. His move shocked me and I stopped immediately.
The man in front of me slowly took off the hat on his head, revealing his long and messy hair. Oh my God, he was indeed that shriveled old man. I didn’t dare to mess with it. If he moved, he would not dare to move forward. If he really moved his hands, even if I was not injured, I might not be able to beat him, not to mention that I am still injured.
After he took off his hat, he turned around very slowly. When he turned completely around and faced me, I didn't see his peephole. In the darkness, I His eyes couldn't be seen clearly, it was just pitch black.
"Who are you, a human or a ghost?" I know my tone of voice is a little trembling, but I am already trying my best to control it.
"This is not the place you should come." From his mouth came a very old and ugly voice, as if a person was about to expire when he was about to die, and his face seemed to be still covered. With the black cloth, I couldn't see his mouth moving at all.
"What do you want to do?" I asked tremblingly again.
"Go, go quickly." He still said in that dying voice, his body still motionless.
Leave? Is he telling me to get off the island? "Where are you going? Who are you? Answer me." I stared at him and asked. I felt that an unpleasant rotten smell was exuding from him. Could he be a dead person? Why does it smell so bad?
For a moment, I almost felt sick and wanted to vomit. Just as I stared at him, I suddenly saw that his eyes were changing, slowly turning orange. The yellow cat's eyes are shining with light. In this dark jungle, the two yellow eyes look extra eerie and strange.
"If you don't leave, you will die." His voice was not loud, but he wandered back and forth in the entire jungle, as if the same person was standing in every corner, making the same sound.
This sound seems to have magic power, like a steel needle piercing my heart directly. The pain is unbearable. Even if I cover my ears with both hands, the sound can still reach me. In the ears, it does not weaken at all and cannot be stopped at all.
I felt a little out of breath, "What the hell do you want? If you can, show me your true face." Before me, I began to feel dizzy. Everyone started to shake a little. This shriveled old man actually had a double image in front of me. Oh no, I actually had hallucinations.
"This is the last warning, get out of here." This damn voice didn't sound like it was coming from a human being at all. It made my chest feel tight, as if I might vomit blood at any time.
I shook my head vigorously to keep myself awake, but my whole body seemed to be exhausted and I had no strength at all. I just wanted to sleep, not to do anything, and I could barely keep my eyes open. It's open.
But I knew very well that once I fell asleep, I might never wake up again. I bit the tip of my tongue and the pain was so overwhelming that I woke up a lot in an instant.
I dragged my tired body, turned around and ran down. I didn’t know how many times I fell down along the way, but his voice still lingered in my ears. He wanted ours. Life, he might want to kill us.
I ran forward as hard as I could, but the strength of my legs was getting weaker and weaker. Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of me. I didn’t have time to stop and knocked him down. body, and then I didn’t know anything and lost consciousness completely
A burst of coldness made me slowly open my eyes. The wound on my abdomen still hurt a little. I supported my body and sat down reluctantly. stand up.
“Brother Yi, are you awake?” Jiao Ba was next to me. When he saw me waking up, he reached out to help me.
Jenny sat across from me and said, "How's it going? Are you okay?"
I shook my head, glanced at the surrounding environment and said, "Where are we now?" I had a headache, that kind of It stung like a needle, and I felt a little groggy. The tip of my tongue also hurt, as if I had an ulcer, and I couldn't even speak.
"Still in the jungle of the island, this is the place we have been before." Jiao Ba said looking at me.
I looked carefully again. This place seemed to be the woods where Jiao Ba and I were looking for firewood. Shunzi and others were sleeping around, but Mai Lao and the big man were not here. , I don’t know what I was doing.
"Where are Mr. Mai and the big man?" I asked.
"They went to the shore to see if they could leave here as soon as possible." Jiao Ba pointed forward.
“Did I pass out?”
I remember that I seemed to have met that wizened old man again before, and he said a few words to me, and then I started I felt dizzy and spinning. I remembered that I had bitten my tongue myself, but when I was running away, I couldn't remember anything, not even how I fell into coma.
"What are you talking about, why are you disappearing while walking? We were looking for you everywhere, but when I found you, you were running like crazy, looking like a ghost It's like it hit me. Not to mention you were unconscious, you were almost knocked unconscious by me," Jiao Babi said with gestures.
“How long have I been unconscious?”
"Not long, about three hours, brother Yi, this is a bit unlike your style." Jiao Ba knew very well that I would not get lost for no reason.
"On the way back, I did get lost, and then I followed the road to find you, but who knew..."
I didn't say the next words, but when I thought of that The shriveled old man made me feel weak, especially those words he said to me, "You will die, you will die." Thinking of it makes me feel cold all over and sweating profusely.
Jenny asked a little worriedly, "Zhongyi, has something happened to you? When Jiao Ba carried you back, your face was pale and it was difficult to breathe. If Li Xin hadn't been here, I'm really afraid you won't wake up. "
After listening to Jenny's words, I glanced at Li Xin next to her. Li Xin was also looking at me, but there was no expression on her face. I had to say awkwardly, "Well... thank you. ”
Li Xin chuckled and said, "You don't have to thank me, it's just your fate."
Jiao Ba asked me again, "Brother Yi, how can you get lost when you are so good? Isn’t it possible? What’s wrong with you?”
I have a look on my face. He said something ugly, "I can't tell you exactly. I only know that someone led me there and said some incomprehensible words to me."
"Someone? This …There will be people on this desert island?” Jenny asked with a surprised look on her face.
There is no need to hide this matter. I almost told the three of them the whole story, except that I didn’t mention the old man’s yellow eyes, nor did I say anything about my feelings about it. He had all kinds of suspicions. After all, Li Xin and Jenny were still here, so Jiao Ba naturally knew about this old man.
When I finished speaking, except for Jiao Ba, Jenny and Li Xin’s expressions all changed. "Listening to what you said, this doesn't look like a human being at all. Could it be... is there really a ghost?" Jenny whispered, looking like she was scared.
Jiao Ba said with a smile, "Don't think blindly. There are so many ghosts in this world. They all scare themselves. Ghosts are actually souls, but souls cannot have physical feelings. Yi The strange old man I mentioned is a human being.”
“I also think he is a human being. He may be someone who has been living in seclusion on this island. Our arrival may have disturbed him. ." Li Xin said calmly.
Jenny shook her head and said, "I don't think it's that simple. There is nothing on this island. How can people live? It's simply impossible."
"Nothing is impossible, food You can eat fish and drink rainwater. Haven’t we been here for several days? Aren’t you also living well?” Jiao Ba said easily.
Li Xin suddenly asked me, "Zhongyi, what do you think?"
I did not answer her immediately. I was thinking about everything that had happened in the past few days. Since I came to the island, this The mysterious old man has been following us.
But so far, apart from him, I have never seen anyone else on the island. There are also those terrible strange insects and unknown fruits, as well as the curse Chang Shan mentioned before, and many other strange things. . All these signs indicate that this wizened old man is definitely not a simple human being, but if he is not a human being, then what is he? I really couldn't figure it out. I had no clue at all. My head hurt again, and it still hurt from the needle. I quickly pressed my temples to get some relief.
