Chapter 524

Did he see something behind me?

When I heard him say that, I broke out in cold sweat on my back, as if I had just been fished out of the water. Every step I took, I felt heavy, as if I was about to be submerged in the water. Especially the strange staircase in front of me, which seemed to be about to collapse in the next moment, I suddenly felt as if I was facing a great enemy.

"Are you okay?"

Mu Shi suddenly stared at me.

It can be seen that he also looked very heavy.

"No..."

I wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, I gritted my teeth and said, "Brother, did you see something behind my back just now?" I asked, my face was very serious, and it seemed that Mu Shi was shocked when I asked this question, and the whole person was stunned.

"Did you see anything just now?"

Mu Shi was immediately surprised and asked me quickly.

"No, no."

I wiped the cold sweat from my forehead and answered.

"That's good."

He seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and then he relaxed a little.

"It's okay... nothing." Then, I seemed to hear him talking to himself, but soon, he walked to the stairs in front of me, and then walked along the wooden corridor on the second floor.

In many places in the southwest, the residential buildings are mainly stilt houses. Although they are brick and tile houses, there are still wooden stilt houses. It is mostly related to the living habits of the villagers here and the surrounding terrain. In addition, the thresholds here are also very high. Generally, every household will put several steps under the threshold.

I heard from the old people that it is mainly to prevent some unclean things.

But those old people did not say what the unclean things were. It is unknown whether it is a beast in the mountain or something else.

"Ouch."

Mu Shi pushed open one of the doors at this time, and then asked me to go in quickly. After closing the door, he did not rush to put Mu Na's body down, but carefully bowed to the bottom of the bed, as if he was afraid of something, and then carefully put Mu Na on the bed.

In the room, there was only a table and an oil lamp besides a very old-fashioned carved bed.

There is no electricity in the mountains, and people rely on burning pine oil to light up and live.

"What do you worship?"

I was a little puzzled.

"Nothing, we are just used to it." Mu Shi smiled faintly, then stared at Mu Na, "He should be better, I think he should recover a lot tonight or tomorrow."

"I hope so."

Although some toxins in Mu Na's body were discharged, he still looked very haggard, perhaps because of the deep poisoning.

There are no places with good medical conditions around.

"By the way, we still need to be careful."

Mu Shi seemed to be very experienced, staring outside, carefully closing the window, staring at me and said, "We... should be targeted."

Yes, of course, we were transferred from the library to this place, I think our every move will be watched by people in secret.

"You say, who are those people, since they didn't harm us, then what is the purpose?"

"Maybe..."

I thought, obviously those people must have other purposes for transferring us to this place.

"Is it for that underground engineering map of the devil?"

Suddenly, Mu Shi muttered, which reminded me. I think it's right. It's either the Yin-Yang map or the pattern on my jade disk.

I said, things are not so coincidental.

"Hey, what are you thinking about?"

At this time, Mu Shi asked me.

"No!"

I hurriedly smiled, "I just thought, if we are really targeted by others, what should we do next?"

"I don't know."

Mu Shi pondered.

"Obviously, it's impossible for only a few of us to stay here. There should be others." I reminded, thinking of the two people who died, I always feel uneasy.

"So are the others still alive? If they are still alive, where are they?"

Mu Shi analyzed.

"Now we can only wait."

"Wait?"

"Yes!"

...

Time passed by.

Then, it was dark, but we didn't dare to go out at all. It was pitch black all around, and I almost fell asleep in the afternoon. When it was completely dark, we carefully opened the window outside.

"Hoohoo..."

"It's so cold!"

I almost sneezed, and then I felt the wind outside blowing on my face like a knife.

"Wait a minute."

I was about to go out, and then Mu Shi stopped me.

"Look..."

Suddenly, about a quarter of an hour later, I suddenly felt that there seemed to be a bright light flashing under the village.

"Will-o'-the-wisp?"

I felt a chill in my heart and sank to the bottom of the valley.

It is said that these uninhabited villages are usually caused by sudden disasters or other natural and man-made disasters, so there will be some unclean things.

"No, it's not will-o'-the-wisp!"

Mu Shi said word by word, squinting his eyes, and said seriously.
