Chapter 106: The
lucky man sang a folk song while standing under the black shadow lamp, his face became paler, and the voice behind him whispered: "It's not a big deal. You have a strong destiny, so there must be a chance to make amends." The lucky
man nodded.
"Keep going." The captain said helplessly.
The listener walked to the broken melon, bent down, picked up the soil and covered it, then stood up and moved forward.
The group of people became more cautious, taking one step at a time, and it took a while before they arrived at the open space around the melon shed.
Everyone heaved a long sigh of relief, and some night guards looked at the lucky man with sympathetic eyes.
"Lucky student, you said the wrong name before, and now you've stepped on something wrong. Be more careful." The captain's voice was much colder than usual, and he stood far away from the lucky student.
The lucky student was stunned for a moment, lowered his head deeply, and gritted his teeth tightly.
"Knock on the door and ask Mr. Gua," the captain said.
"Ah?" Mr. Lucky suddenly raised his head and looked at the captain angrily.
The captain looked calm.
Many night guards looked away.
The man behind the lucky student smiled and said, "Master Captain, the lucky student is still young and has the strongest destiny among us. Such dangerous things are not suitable for him to do." "Then
. Are you going?" the captain asked.
The climber froze on the spot, his simple and honest face looking particularly dull at the moment.
The school captain looked at the lucky boy and said, "Don't blame me. I don't want you to go. However, there shouldn't be any danger in this door. Even if there is, it's very small. It's time for you to go." Upon hearing this, the sunshine boy was worthy of being a leader
. , these words are full of sunshine.
The lucky man sighed, looked at the climber with a pleading look in his eyes, and whispered: "Uncle..."
The climber looked at the lucky man with astonishment on his face and stared at the lucky man for a long time. His eyes turned cold and he gritted his teeth. , nodded vigorously, and strode towards the gate of the melon shed.
The other three people who were following Lucky Guy stayed where they were, looking at Lucky Guy in disbelief.
The lucky man lowered his head and said nothing.
The climber mustered up the courage and came to the door. His voice trembled and he said, "By order of the mistress, I came to get the melons."
No one answered the door.
The windows of the melon shed were thickly covered with white paper, and the dim yellow light inside flickered gently.
The one who climbed high raised his voice and said: "By the order of the mistress, I came to get the melons."
Still no one answered, and the one who climbed high turned his head and looked at the captain in despair.
"Call again." said the captain.
Deng Gao's heart skipped a beat, and he shouted loudly: "As ordered by my mistress, I came to get the melons." "
Noisy!"
A thick sound like the impact of a giant tree came out, and Deng Gao's face turned pale with fright.
"The melons are in the fields, just look for them slowly." After the people in the room finished speaking, there was no sound again.
"I'm done shouting." Deng Gao said with a wooden face and slowly walked behind the lucky student, half a step farther than before.
The night guards stared at each other, not knowing what to do for a moment.
Suddenly, a faint mist rolled in from all directions and instantly covered the melon fields.
"We have no choice but to search hard. Should we search together or separately?" the captain asked.
"Let's look for it together."
"Yes, this fog is a bit strange."
"Let's look for safety together."
"Okay, let's stay in a line, don't wander around, and search slowly." The captain scanned the crowd, pulled out the Yan Fei Dao, and walked towards Mist.
The others also picked up weapons. Sunshine Boy opened his nine-flower umbrella and fixed it on the bookcase behind him. Without drawing his sword, he grabbed two thunder talismans with both hands.
Everyone lined up and moved forward slowly.
As we walked, the person listening to the book reminded us: "The melon fields have changed, please be careful."
The school captain said: "Yes, the melon field has become sparse, like... the place has become bigger, it must be a magic trick, be careful." The
sunshine boy was walking, and suddenly said: "Stop."
Listening to books, foodies He and the blacksmith stopped together, looked at each other, and both changed their expressions.
The others are gone.
"Are we lost?" the blacksmith asked in a panic.
"No, I suspect that the further we leave, the more people will be scattered. Let's tie them together to avoid being separated. If we encounter an enemy attack, we will cut the strips of cloth." The sunshine boy said, taking out spare clothes from the book box, pricking, pulling and tearing them. It is made into strips of cloth, tied into long strips, and reinforced with magic power to connect the four people together.
"Wait a minute or continue searching?" the foodie asked.
The person who listened to the book said: "We have absolutely no idea what the melon fields and the mist are like. Since we are asked to get the melons, there must be melons. Instead of just standing around, it is better to look for them." The sunshine boy said: "Continue to search for a while. Let’s talk.”
“I can’t see clearly, do you want to light a torch?” said the foodie.
"You can't light a fire and expose the light at this time. Sunshine Boy is a tenth grade man with bright eyes, so just follow him closely." Tingshu said.
The sunshine boy nodded and said: "I can see farther, follow me."
In the fog of the dark night, the four people moved forward while looking for ripe watermelons.
Time passed slowly, and there were watermelon flowers or small watermelons all along the way, none bigger than a fist.
I don’t know how long it took, but the fog suddenly became thinner quickly.
When the wind blows, the white mist completely disappears.
Eighteen people looked around and found that the melon field was still the same melon field, very close to each other, but they could not see each other before.
"Who found the melon?" the captain said happily.
No one answered.
At this moment, there was a sudden bang in the melon shed, like the sound of a mallet hitting a stone mortar and hitting rice cakes.
Everyone was startled and looked at the melon shed.
I saw the silhouette of a thick and powerful man appearing on the white paper window. He looked much taller than a human being, a full foot in height.
The figure didn't know what he was lifting, but he smashed it down hard.
Click!
It sounded like cracking firewood.
You couldn't see what he was holding or what he was hitting, it was all blocked by the wall.
Afterwards, the people inside sang folk songs with strange tunes.
"The moon is round...the melon is round..."
The figure lifted it up again and then smashed it down.
boom!
It sounded like a rice cake being hit.
"The pot is round...the melon is round..."
He lifted it up again and then smashed it down.
Bang!
It seemed like it was hit on the pulpy paste, and there seemed to be liquid splashing out.
"The bowl is round...the melon is round..."
The shadow raised it again and smashed it down.
puff!
It seemed to hit the cloth.
"The pie is round...the melon is round..."
Eighteen people stood blankly in the melon field, staring blankly at the figures on the windows and listening to the folk songs with strange tunes.
The man kept smashing and singing repeatedly.
At first, various sounds could be made, but in the end the sounds tended to be unified, becoming more and more like the muffled sound of smashing rice cakes.
Under the moonlit night, there was a gentle cool breeze, and everyone's hair stood up, and they didn't dare to move.
I don’t know how long it took, but the figure inside suddenly raised his arm and slammed it down hard.
boom!
"Every family is reunited...the melons are round! The melons are round...every family is reunited!"
On the white paper window, the shadow bent down, picked up an ellipsoid-shaped shadow, and walked towards the door.
Squeak...
the door opens.
Everyone looked over and saw that the door of the house was dark, with no light at all, as if black kerosene was flowing.
A pair of hands passed through the black screen, holding a large watermelon with yellow background and green stripes, more than a foot long, and slowly placed the watermelon outside the threshold.
The nails on both hands were one inch long and as sharp as wild beasts. The fingers were twice as long as those of ordinary people. The five phalanges were all silvery white, and the surface was covered with spiral patterns. It was faintly visible that there seemed to be blue blood flowing under the skin.
"Melon is round...every family is reunited!"
This time the voice was not as strong as before, and there was a faint smile of joy.
It was completely dark inside the door, but everyone felt like a monster was staring at them inside.
The two hands slowly withdrawn into the black, and the door closed.
The lights went out.
