Erhei asked the little sister: "You are ...... Did you see anything when you chased you out of the house?"

Xiaomei shook her head and said, "No, I didn't see anything." She looked very tired.

"Are you alright?" asked Erhei.

"It's fine. The little sister looked up at him and asked, "What about you, why did you get here?"

"I ......"

"It's a dangerous road in the dark, and you're not afraid of getting lost if you run around like this. The little sister took a break, and then said: "This village does not look simple, I think, more things are better than less things, we still don't want to go back." Anyway, it won't be long before dawn, so we'll sit on the side of the road and rest. ”

Erhei agrees with this mentions. The two walked towards the side of the road.

In the sky, a few stars twinkled, and the little sister looked up at those stars and was silent.

Erhei turned his head, looked at her, and said, "Thank you." ”

The little sister asked in surprise, "Thank me for what?"

"Thank you for caring about me. ”

Xiaomei was slightly stunned, and asked rhetorically, "Me, do you seem to care about you?"

Erhei also asked rhetorically, "Isn't it?"

The little sister tugged at the corners of her mouth and said, "You think too much, I don't care about you, I just want to do my best to complete the task." ”

"Mission?" asked Erhei rhetorically.

"Hmm...... It's my father's mission. ”

"I don't see it, you're quite filial. ”

The little sister looked at Erhei and thought about these two words repeatedly.

The two of them sat on the side of the road until dawn, and the little sister took out the dry food she was carrying and handed it to Erhei.

Erhei took it from her hand, he was very curious about where the little sister took out these things, he had asked several times, but the little sister never answered his question directly, just looked at him and said something inexplicable: "When the time comes, you will know how much fuss you are making now." ”

Erhei asked again, but the little sister didn't speak. The two of them finished eating in silence and continued on their way. Around the end of the evening, they arrived at the mouth of the treasure bottle.

In Erhei's memory, he didn't have any impression of Aquarius Mountain, so he couldn't tell if it was different from before. But the weeds on all sides still give the impression of depression. A rough path loomed through the weeds, and the two of them made their way up the mountain from the winding path.

The grass on the mountain is deeper, almost reaching Erhei's waist, Erhei looked at the little sister who walked in front and led the way, she walked quite smoothly all the way.

"Didn't you say that there was a lot of machinery on Aquarius Mountain, why didn't I see anything?" asked Erhei, gasping for breath.

The little sister said without looking back: "This is a shortcut, besides, I never expected to ask a person who can show a cowardice when he sees a corpse to break through those levels." ”

"I ......" Hearing Xiaomei's words, Erhei was slightly unconvinced, but thinking about it, what she said didn't seem to be wrong.

"Stop talking nonsense, let's go. Xiaomei said.

The mouth of the treasure bottle was indeed a fortress, and it took nearly three hours for the two of them to travel lightly and take a shortcut, and by the time they reached the top of the mountain, it was already completely dark. There was a rumbling thunder in the originally gloomy sky, and soon it began to rain.

At first, the rain was light, but it didn't take long for it to turn into a downpour. Fortunately, by this time they had reached the top of the mountain.

There was a large clearing on the top of the hill, and the middle of the clearing was a mess, and there were some ruins behind it, and a very spacious but very dilapidated house stood diagonally on the side, looking very vicissitudes.

"This may be the hall of the Aquarius Village. Xiaomei said.

It's just that after all these years of wind and rain and no one has repaired it, the hall has long become dilapidated. The whole room is tilted to the right at an angle of about 30°, which is especially noticeable from the movement of the door frames and windows. Erhei thought that the house he lived in was dilapidated enough, but he didn't expect that there was anything more dilapidated than it.

The little sister glanced at Erhei, glanced at him, and took the lead in pushing open the door and walking in. Erhei saw her go in, although he was always a little worried about whether this precarious house would collapse at any time, but it was better than standing outside in the rain, and everyone else had lesbians entered, so he had to follow up.

He thought the house would be covered with dust and cobwebs, but when he entered, he found that it was much cleaner than he had imagined. He turned his head to look at the little sister, who had avoided the leak far away, and was spreading straw on the ground.

Perhaps sensing Erhei's gaze, the little sister said while arranging the straw: "This road is still far away, the rain outside is so heavy, and the mountain road is not easy to walk, so I will stay here for one night tonight, and I will go again tomorrow morning." ”

Fortunately, it didn't rain too much, and the clothes dried quickly, and the two ate some dry food and fell asleep.

It's the first time that Erhei has grown so big and slept in a place where a group of bandits have run rampant, this place has traces of his grandfather's zài, and there are traces of his father's zài, and now he also came to step on two feet. Although the three generations are different, all three generations have finally walked here. Erhei listened to the sound of rain dripping on the ground and splashing again, imagining the glorious past of this place, and gradually fell asleep.

The rain, dripping to the ground, splashed small splashes.

It was dark and there were no stars.

The sound of the ticking rain gradually became quieter, and the time passed slowly, and just when Erhei was sleeping soundly, a sudden howl woke him up. He looked out the window, the rain outside had already stopped, the sky was not yet bright, and the visibility in the house was not very high.

Erhei felt that his nose was a little itchy, and in addition to the earthy smell of rain, there seemed to be some very strange smells in the air. The smell was a little fishy, and it was a little sassy, and Erhei couldn't tell what kind of smell it was. But what is certain is that the smell is not good. He tilted his head, and just as he was about to let out a sneeze, a hand quickly reached out from the darkness and covered his mouth and nose.

Erhei's head was held tightly, and there was no way to turn his head, only to turn his eyes. He heard the little sister's voice: "Don't make a sound, we are surrounded." ”

What do you mean? Erhei struggled to roll his eyes.

The little sister slowly let go of the hand that was covering Erhei, she pointed outside, Erhei carefully moved over, through the hole in the wall, Erhei saw that there were countless red dots outside, accompanied by bursts of low roars, and the whole house was surrounded by airtight wind.

"What is that?" Erhei asked the little sister, and when he saw these red spots, he only felt a tingling on his scalp.
