Chapter 139: Monsters in the Human Heart or Reality

Back in the car, Jie asked me if I had asked anything about it. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

I roughly explained what Kang Jianshe told me.

She was puzzled: "It seems that your speculation is right, after listening to your description, there has always been a question, more than 20 years ago, if the perpetrator was a local in the town, then why did this person wait so long and commit the crime again?" Have you ever wondered if it wasn't that person who did it this time? ”

"Do you trust your instincts?"

"Faith."

"Ever since I got back to town, I had a gut feeling that something that had followed me had also gone back to my homeland with me, or rather, that when I came back, it woke up."

"Could it be that you have a grudge against someone in Beijing?"

"If you have a grudge, why don't you target me, but hurt the child?"

"Maybe this is a person who has a vendetta against you, and it is a high-IQ crime, he wants to play with you, and he is secretly watching you roll around in embarrassment, and finally lure you into a trap, all with a careful plan."

"If there is such a person, I would like to fight, but I am afraid that the truth of these mysteries is far beyond our expectations and imagination. The human heart is very deep and unfathomable. I let out a long sigh.

"I'm serious, you have to pay attention to safety, or if you stay in my hotel in the future, at least no one can hurt you."

"I have received your wishes, don't worry, there is nothing to be afraid of now, if I were afraid, I would have left Qiaobian Town a long time ago, I believe that there are things that must always be faced. The girl who disappeared more than 20 years ago is my little sister, and I have witnessed the tragedy that hit their family, as well as the damage that hurt me, and even now the scars have not healed. The beauty of our childhood was wiped out with this incident. ”

"I understand, at that time, the rumors spread to the county, that there were monsters eating boys and girls in Qiaobian Town, and we didn't dare to go out on the streets at night, and adults believed these rumors."

"At that time, the riverbed was renovated for navigation, and a hydropower station was built upstream, and some people said that a fierce and mysterious creature was alarmed, but I thought it was impossible. If there are still large carnivorous unknown creatures in this world, the odds are zero, just like the things in the garbage dump after the tornado were randomly put together into a Boeing 747. ”

"You literate people are sensible, and you certainly won't believe this. But I still retain a little superstition, the world is really full of wonders. I used to hear my dad say that when they were young, they went to the Yihe River to net fish, and one of his friends was dragged into the river, and was finally rescued, and when the net was dragged up, it was a big hole, the size of an adult, and the tattered place was not torn open by brute force, as if it was torn apart by some sharp claws, so frightened that they ran away, and never dared to go to the deep water in the river to net fish in the future. ”

"Maybe it's a big carnivorous fish that bites open the net with its teeth. Anyway, there are all kinds of bizarre theories, some people say that when the child disappeared, he saw a dazzling white light on the mountain, and some people say that he saw a UFO and made it up to spread it, which may lead to an interstellar war. ”

"I don't read as many books as you do, so maybe it's not right. The more I grew up, the more I believed in things that we couldn't understand, that science was just human thoughts, and that there were many things that couldn't be explained in a scientific way. Whether the monster is in the human heart or in reality, in the words of your cultural people, is an esoteric philosophical question. ”

I saw a Buddha card hanging on Jie's car, and the Buddha card was engraved in Thai.

When she saw me staring at the amulet, she said, "I went to Thailand to ask for it back." ”

"It cost a lot of silver, didn't it?"

"It's fine."

"Don't be angry, ask you a question, if you don't spend money, is this amulet card not working?"

Geger smiled and said, "You're really asking me." ”

"You see, the so-called 'Buddha' has not yet one eye on money. In the world, many things are not explained by science, but by human beings, science is just a cognitive logic, and according to the practice of human social life for thousands of years, science has been proven to be the most correct logic. In the past, syphilis, smallpox, and chickenpox could become incurable diseases, but now drugs can save lives. Of course, faith is also very important, and if humans do not have faith, technology has the potential to create disasters instead of welfare. ”

"When you say that, you wake me up. That's right, our so-called beliefs are too primitive, those bosses and leaders, while burning incense and worshiping the Buddha to keep peace, while drinking, meat, fish, three wives and four concubines, burning a pillar of incense, is worth a farmer's income for 10 years. If the Buddha was here, he would definitely give retribution, but after so many years, seeing those who spend all their money to get promoted and get rich has no retribution, this is a logical error. ”

"Didn't someone say anything about the afterlife, it's not that the time has not come, anyway, no matter what, they can be logical, as long as they are happy. Actually, it's good that you have faith, and I don't want to convince you of anything, but some people's faith is on the wrong path. ”

"But you can't deny the existence of unknown things, such as bacteria, no one knew about their existence before the invention of the microscope, but not knowing them does not mean that they do not exist, so I think one day, science will make us realize things that we thought did not exist before." There was a mischievous smile on her face.

"Haha, you're attacking the shield with the spear of the son, it's amazing!"

"Where, learn from you. I'm very happy to talk to you about this, I'm hungry, let's go, go to dinner, and take you to a farmhouse with green mountains and green waters, where you must like the watercress fish and ginger duck. ”

The highway shuttles through the folds of the green hills, and the air can smell the smell of bitter artemisia and mint, and the air is exceptionally fresh.

After about an hour of driving, the car got off the highway and turned into a clean asphalt road, with large trees standing on both sides, pines and cypresses, and grass and trees. The stream is babbling on the roadside, and the fragrance of wildflowers is fragrant.

A few minutes later, the car drove into an unnamed mountain villa, and the villas inside were all in European style, and the courtyard was rich in vegetation and pavilions.

"This is what you call a farmhouse?"

"Does it matter what you call it? When I want to escape, I come here for a few days. ”

"I can't imagine that there is such a safe haven hidden in this wilderness."

"There's so much more you don't know."

Jie took me to the third floor of a villa, where the wooden table in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows was full of delicacies, and the fabric sofa was furnished with red, yellow and blue pillows.

"These are the dishes you love."

"Thank you for being so thoughtful, you helped me so much, I don't know how to thank you."

"Old classmate, don't be polite to me. By the way, a question for you? If you hadn't encountered a missing child, would you have thought of looking for me? ”

"Gathering and scattering, it's all fate."

"Cunning people, they don't answer me directly, huh. Forget it, don't embarrass you, hurry up and eat. "Jie Wei's angry look is a little cute.

After eating, Jie asked me to stay at night: "Don't worry, there are so many rooms here, I won't tease you, haha." You see, you're as timid as ever. ”

"No, I would like to stay in this beautiful place for two days to cultivate my body and mind, but the town needs help, so I'll come back to you when I'm done with this."

"That's fine, you stay safe, and let me know if you need help."

Jie arranged for a car to take me home, and I was a little sad along the way. Because I lied to her.

I won't go to her again.

When I got along with her, I vaguely felt that her feelings for me were still there. This is sensitive, and I still have it.

Now that she is a wife and has her own family and career, we are on different tracks, and we don't have to intersect anymore, which is beneficial to each other.

There's always something that I miss best, just as that enthusiastic chick in high school really scared me, and her heart is so clear that it's embarrassing in the flood of years.

These are memories of my life, more precious than any material possessions.

The full moon is approaching, the mystery is still the same, and we are facing a demon who takes people's lives without blinking, and no one dares to slack off.

On the other hand, more and more people in the county town are protesting against the environmental pollution caused by the coking plant, and the police force around it has been drawn to maintain stability.

If you want to survive the moonlit night safely, you can only rely on yourself. At this point, we realized that we had returned to the Stone Age and had to be armed against the beasts.
