"Auntie, what's wrong with you?" Chen Xiaofang walked quickly towards Wu Cuimei, who was stunned, and asked, "Auntie, it's so late, why do you still have to go to the mountains?"

Wu Cuimei looked at Chen Xiaofang and cried: "Xiaofang, you, you just came out of the mountains, have you seen our Qingshan?"

It stands to reason that this is not the first time that Liu Qingshan has not returned home so late, when he was looking for honey and picking bracken before, he tried to get home after dark, Wu Cuimei shouldn't be so scared.

In the final analysis, it was the damn chopsticks in the morning that were haunting her, and now it was such a sensitive period as Qingming tomb sweeping, so it was natural that she would think more and be afraid.

When Chen Xiaofang heard Wu Cuimei's words, her eyes widened, and she was surprised: "Hasn't Liu Qingshan gone home yet?"

"yes, yes. Wu Cuimei said with tears streaming down her face, "Qingshan went into the mountain early in the morning to sweep the grave, only sweeping one cemetery, even if his father went, he could return home at three or four o'clock in the afternoon, not to mention, he walked very fast, it stands to reason that he could return home at noon, but now it's almost dark, he hasn't come back yet, you say, Qingshan, did he have an accident?"

"Auntie, don't worry, Liu Qingshan is such a big person, he will definitely be fine. Although Chen Xiaofang comforted Wu Cuimei so much, she was actually anxious in her heart.

In the morning, it was still very early when she met Liu Qingshan, and it stands to reason that she was just going to sweep the tomb, and she shouldn't have gone home so late.

You know, she went to clean two cemeteries in the morning and two more in the afternoon, which is why she didn't go home until so late.

She was thinking that she could continue to take care of the crops in the field after sweeping the cemetery in the mountains quickly, so she was more in a hurry.

According to Liu Qingshan's mother's words, Liu Qingshan just went to a cemetery today.

Since it is just a cemetery, even if the road is far away, it shouldn't be that it is almost dark and she hasn't returned home, not to mention, she is also a person who has seen Liu Qingshan's footsteps.

No, that fool must have encountered some beast in the mountains.

It is said that the fool had encountered a wild boar and a lynx before, and he had a big fight with a wild boar and a boar, and he was injured or something, and it is estimated that this time it will be eight or nine or ten.

Thinking of this, Xiao Fang's heart became more and more flustered, and she hurriedly stuffed the things in her hand into Wu Cuimei's hand and said, "Auntie, you go back first, and I will help you go into the mountain to find Liu Qingshan." ”

"Huh?" Before Wu Cuimei could react, Xiao Fang had already put the thing in her hand, turned her head and ran away.

Looking at Xiao Fang's distant back, Wu Cuimei could only shout: "Xiao Fang, thank you." ”

"It's fine. Xiao Fang ran forward and said, "You are not in good health, you go back and wait first, whether you find it or not, I will bring you a letter." ”

"Hey. Wu Cuimei could only be moved.

Although it was not dark at this time, under the shroud of heavy fog, the mountains and forests were silent, like a ghost place in a horror movie.

The billowing white smoke was surging, and from time to time a few birds that had returned late had crossed a black line in front of their eyes.

Chen Xiaofang was tired of running, so he slowed down his pace and walked towards the mountain at a very fast speed.

She thought that she would at least go to the place where she met Liu Qingshan this morning, and if she hadn't found Liu Qingshan when she got there, she would go back first.

Although she doesn't believe in ghosts, she is terrified by the shadows of her childhood.

She was afraid of walking alone in the mountains.

I am even more afraid of walking alone in the mountains with thick fog rolling.

She prayed silently in her heart, hoping that she could meet Liu Qingshan as soon as possible and go back early.

However, the heavens are not beautiful, she has already walked to the place where she met Liu Qingshan in the morning, but she still didn't see Liu Qingshan all the way.

At this time, the sky returned to light for the second time, and the originally gloomy twilight brightened a little more.

She looked at the dense fog that had turned from gray to white not far away because of the return of light, and the fear in her heart did not lessen, but became heavier.

She knew that after this time, the sky would light again, and then it would be completely dark.

If she hadn't found Liu Qingshan at that time, she would have walked alone in the mountains, helpless.

This feeling of loneliness reminds her of the time when her parents died when she was a child, and all the children in the village refused to play with her.

Grandma had to work, so she could only sit alone on the embankment in the field, looking at the blue sky and not feeling blue, and looking at the leisurely white clouds and not feeling white.

An abyss-like loneliness and fear enveloped her, and she was almost out of breath.

Until a boy a few years older than her suddenly appeared in the village, he always loved to grab her pigtails from behind when she was sitting on the ridge, and he also loved to suddenly put mud on her face when she was not aware of it, and he loved to hide behind the bushes far away, throwing fresh ghost needle grass seeds on her clothes and sticking them firmly.

Since then, the loneliness of being about to fall into the abyss has gradually dissipated.

In fact, many times, before the boy was close, she had already spotted him.

However, in order to cooperate with his performance, she had to pretend that she didn't see it and didn't find it.

So, the boy's plan succeeded again and again, and again and again angered her, and she ran after the boy all over the village.

While running, he also threatened: "Liu Qingshan, you bastard, you stop me, you see that I won't beat you flat." ”

Liu Qingshan, you bastard, where have you been?

Xiao Fang looked at the sky that was getting darker again, and her eyes were unconsciously overflowing with tears.

At the same time, fear poured out like tears in his eyes.

Although she usually looks tough, but, in the end, she is only an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl. Although she usually seems to be a heartless person, she also has her fears and what she fears will lose.

As long as she thought that Liu Qingshan hadn't returned home so late, it was very likely that she had encountered some danger in the mountains, she couldn't care about the fear in her heart, gritted her teeth, and continued to walk forward.

This time, she adjusted her mentality, and while walking forward, she shouted Liu Qingshan's name: "Liu Qingshan." ”

"Liu Qingshan. ”

The valley shrouded in thick fog kept echoing her voice: Liu Qingshan, Liu Qingshan.

The hoarse cry was like moss under the cracks of a stone, no matter how hard it tried, it seemed to have no effect, but it still caught every ray of light cast in the air, and grew desperately, although with little success, it never gave up.

Xiao Fang shouted and shouted as she walked forward, and tears fell again.

She raised her hand to wipe her tears, and continued to shout: "Liu Qingshan, you bastard, where are you?"

In addition to the echo of the valley, there was only the cry of the beast.

She stood dumbfounded, no longer screaming, and the despair in her heart drowned her along with the dense fog that filled the mountains.

She crouched down, hugged her knees, buried her face, and began to cry.

She couldn't do anything.

The sky was dark for the third time.

She couldn't do anything.

She couldn't find Liu Qingshan.

She can't find Liu Qingshan!

If something really happened to Liu Qingshan......

She didn't dare to think about it. She was afraid to think about it, but her mind would think about it unconsciously.

If something really happened to Liu Qingshan, she thought that she might be like the grandmother of the Liu family in this life, living alone in a small house forever, and silently guarding the lost beauty forever.

There are some things that you don't cherish when you keep them around, and you don't regret them until you lose them.

Grandma Liu has lived in self-blame all her life, and it is said that she refuses to see Liu Qingshan now, which shows how deep the guilt and regret are in her heart.

If something really happened to Liu Qingshan, she would probably live alone forever.

Regret the things you didn't have time to say, and regret the things you didn't have time to do.

Her tears soaked her knees, and the warm tears made her realize that crying was useless.

She now has to either keep moving on or hurry back.

Just as she hesitated, there was a sound of footsteps in the thick fog ahead.

The sound was very loud, not like the sound of ordinary people walking, but more like the sound of a beast weighing hundreds of pounds.

Xiao Fang stood up in surprise and looked up at the fog ahead in fear.

In the thick fog, the rugged trail is still visible, but the plants on both sides of the trail have turned gray due to the twilight and thick fog.

Faintly, a black figure slowly came.

Xiao Fang looked at the huge black shadow in the thick fog, a pair of apricot eyes couldn't help but round the stool, and her mouth opened slightly.

What kind of monster is so tall and so big?

The monster in the fog looked to be about three or four meters tall, and it was not very large, but it had two large heads and several horizontal arms.

Seeing this, Xiao Fang's whole body stiffened, and her mind went blank.

Mountains, fog, monsters.

Such a scene is only in horror movies, but I didn't expect that Chen Xiaofang would meet her today. Her mind could no longer think, and her whole body was so stiff that she couldn't even take a step.

She looked at the monster slowly walking towards her in a daze, and a thought suddenly flashed in her mind: Did Liu Qingshan encounter this monster, so he didn't go home until now? Was he killed by this huge monster, or was he eaten by this monster?

Thinking of this, the fear in Xiao Fang's heart suddenly dissipated a lot, and her brain came back to her senses.

She hurriedly pulled out the woodcutter on her back and shouted at the monster in front of her, "Stop, come over again, I'll be rude to you." ”

The monster in the fog seemed to understand her words, and its body paused, but it continued to move forward.

Seeing this, Xiao Fang hurriedly held the handle of the woodcutter with both hands, and threatened the slowly approaching monster: "Hey, I told you to stop, did you hear it?"

"What if you hear it, you take your sunshine path, I take my single-plank bridge, and I don't get in your way, why should I stop. ”

The voice......

Chen Xiaofang's eyes widened again, looking at the dark shadow in the thick fog.

The black shadow walked step by step, getting closer and closer, and the outline became clearer and clearer, until she saw the monster's face clearly, and she shouted: "Liu Qingshan, is there something wrong with your brain?" ”

Liu Qingshan was speechless, why did I have something wrong with my brain.

He frowned and looked at Chen Xiaofang and said, "Hey, Chen Xiaofang, is it okay for you to have a problem? It's so late, what are you doing here alone?" ”

"What the hell am I calling?" Chen Xiaofang trembled with anger, and roared at Liu Qingshan, "Do you know that you didn't come home so late, I-your mother was so anxious to die, and I was going to go into the mountains to find you, if I hadn't met me, I might have been your mother who appeared here now." ”

"What?" Liu Qingshan was startled when he heard that his mother was going into the mountains to find him, and hurriedly asked, "What about my mother?"

Chen Xiaofang looked at the behemoth that Liu Qingshan was carrying on his shoulder, and said angrily: "Of course I persuaded me to go back, I said that I came to you for her, so she went back, otherwise, with your mother's body, can you afford to eat such a long mountain road?"

"Oh, my mom is really, it's not the first time I've gone back so late, what's the hurry. Liu Qingshan muttered, "But why are you here?" ”

"Didn't I say it, I'll help your mother come in and find you. Chen Xiaofang looked at the things similar to trees that Liu Qingshan was carrying on his shoulders, and roughly guessed that the reason why Liu Qingshan came back so late was probably to delay the time by tinkering with these messy things.

Thinking of this, the self-blame, remorse, loneliness, and so on just now all disappeared without a trace.

She only thinks now that Liu Qingshan is a real two hundred and five, a real big intellectual retard.

Otherwise, how could a person with a little IQ worry about his mother like that for such a mess.

That's right, Liu Qingshan is a two-hundred-and-five, just mentally retarded.

Thinking of this, Chen Xiaofang was too lazy to talk to Liu Qingshan anymore, turned his head, and left in a huff.

Liu Qingshan hurriedly followed and said, "Chen Xiaofang, I didn't expect you to be so kind to this iron rooster, and you are so helpful." ”

Chen Xiaofang didn't bother to take care of him, and walked in front by herself.

Feeling that Chen Xiaofang's attitude was not quite right, Liu Qingshan hurriedly quickened his pace, caught up with Chen Xiaofang, and said with a smile: "Chen Xiaofang, did you cry just now?" ”

Chen Xiaofang didn't bird him, and continued to walk back.

Liu Qingshan did not give up, carrying a huge azalea, and quickened his pace, went around to the front, looked at Chen Xiaofang's miserable face in the dark gray twilight, and said with a smile: "Haha, Chen Xiaofang, you really cried just now, I didn't expect you to be so timid." ”

Chen Xiaofang saw that Liu Qingshan was still smiling and angry, she raised her foot, stomped on the soles of Liu Qingshan's feet, then glanced at it, and then continued to move forward.

Liu Qingshan was so pained that tears came out: "Chen Xiaofang, you, you, you are a man's wife, so rude, be careful that no one will want it in the future." ”

Chen Xiaofang continued to ignore Liu Qingshan's intellectual retardation, and walked in front by himself.

After all, mental retardation can be contagious, so it's better to take care of it less.
