Chapter 17: The Dilemma
Lei Xing stared at Shanshan again: "Since this smell spread, the disaster in this village has begun, dead and dead, crazy and crazy, many families have broken up, and the father of the murderous child has also been executed and beaten to death with a stick." ”
"Brother Lei, why does Shanshan smell like this, and why are you here, and it looks like you've been living in this wood......." Yan'er asked in an obviously coquettish voice.
"I'd also like to know why your friend smells this way, and I've been here to find someone, and since that incident, no one has gone out or anyone else has come in for so many years." As he spoke, he helped Yan'er's shoulder and asked with concern: "Is the wound better?" ”
Yan'er suddenly lowered her head, her face flushed: "Hmm...... Good...... Much better, no more pain". When he spoke, he actually stammered, and immediately said: "How can you not get out, I will take you out, we came in like this just now, you follow us, and we will be outside in a while."
"Then let's go," Yan'er avoided Lei Xing's gaze, and then took Shanshan's hand and asked as she walked: "You tell me clearly, what's going on, when will you talk to someone?" Now that they are still missing, you say, was they forced or deceived? Sister went and destroyed him......"
Saying that, he pulled Shanshan and walked away, I knew that Yan'er was afraid that I would make fun of her, but who did this Shanshan provoke, why did she lead us here, looking at Lei Xing, it is not like a lie, it has been isolated here for more than 10 years, is it broken by our three little girls today? We don't have that much charm, right, but looking at the inexplicable fog around me, I suddenly lost the bottom of my heart, can we really get out?
Speed up the pace and follow them, the road in the forest is not easy to walk, we are walking deep and shallow, and waiting for us, Lei Xing has been waiting for us, all the way to command how to go is Yan'er, Lei Xing said, he has been walking for more than 10 years, but he has never gone out, this time to completely listen to us.
After walking for a while, everyone stopped talking, the fog around was getting bigger and bigger, and the road was not easy to walk, I always felt that these roads were not much different from when we came in, as if they were not the same place, but I didn't ask anyone, I don't know what Yan'er and Shanshan thought, everyone kept their heads down and kept hurrying, and occasionally Yan'er would say go that way.
Yan'er and Shanshan are obviously physically exhausted, very struggling, the sky has always been dark gray blue, we were too excited when we came in, the mobile phone was charged in the car, and Yan'er carried a bag, Shanshan and I didn't bring anything, and Yan'er's bag only had mineral water and tissues, I wasn't sure whether it was night or day, this sky really couldn't tell.
"Miss Yan'er, why don't I carry you, after all, you are still injured", Lei Xing said as he became half-squatting, motioning for Yan'er to get on his back.
"That...... I ...... "The usually cheerful Yan'er actually stood in place with a twist and squirmed incoherently, looking at her like that, I couldn't help laughing, and the fatigue was swept away."
"Yan'er, can't you get on? If you don't get on me, you can get on, hahaha", I laughed almost out of breath.
"Ahh
Just when Yan'er was shy, she was suddenly startled by Shanshan's scream, everyone looked at Shanshan, only to see her pointing to the front, her eyes were round, trembling, and her mouth was open and closed, as if she wanted to say something but would be frightened.
We looked in the direction of Shanshan's finger.
A palm-sized stone was covered with blackened blood and smashed flesh, and the ground next to it was stained with blood and rotten flesh, and a snake's tail curled over there had long since lost its life.
"Isn't this the place where you just hit the snake?" Yan'er also exclaimed.
I looked at Lei Xing and said, "Is this how you have been trapped here all the time?" ”
"At first, I thought about how to get out every day, but in the end I gave up, and I was so good in the woods that I was looking for the people I was looking for."
Lei Xing never said why he didn't go back to the village, but kept staying in the woods, who was the person he was looking for, I could see from his eyes that there were many stories, but from the incident of saving Yan'er just now, it seems that he will not harm us, at least his temperament is kind.
I don't know when it started, the moon hung so high, now we can be sure that it is night, the moon will come out, and then hide in the clouds, the surrounding fog is white, there are occasional frogs in the grass, and there are many unknown insects flying around, occasionally there is the sound of leaves, the geese will be next to the thunder, she must be afraid of snakes, and the surrounding atmosphere is indescribably depressing.
"We just came in like this, I don't believe we can't get out now!" Yan'er took off her shoes and pulled out her heels: "I made a mark of all the trees I passed, and nothing has trapped me!" As he spoke, he picked up the stone and began to carve into the trees beside him.
"Yan'er, do you still have water in your bag? I'm so thirsty," Shanshan said.
"Yes, fortunately, I brought water out, give it, everyone has it", Yan'er gave us the water and said to Shanshan: "You are pregnant, or let's go slower".
I thought about it all the way, and I always felt that there was more to it than that, but I couldn't think of how to explain the weirdness in my heart. But just now when Shanshan said that I wanted to drink water, I suddenly thought, in fact, we just drank it not long ago, according to this amount of exercise, it is impossible to be thirsty again, but I also have a fire in my throat, like I haven't drunk water for a long time, and my usual physical strength is okay, jogging ten kilometers in the gym is not a problem, but why do I walk here for a while, obviously feel tired, this feeling...... It seems like...... It's like a long time has passed......
But I didn't say anything, and followed them silently, I was afraid that after I said it, it would irritate Shanshan. And after all, there is Lei Xing, he is a local, and he has been in this terrible place for so many years, I always feel relieved to have him. As for whether we're going to be stuck here, I really haven't thought about that, but I've always felt that we won't be so unlucky, right?
"Look over there!" An excited voice came from behind him.
"Over there! Isn't that the same road we came into? The car is parked right outside this road! Shanshan was so excited that she cried.
Looking in the direction pointed by Shanshan, sure enough, the path we came in was next to it, and I seemed to be able to see the little black cat outside barking happily at us, and I also said excitedly: "Lei Xing, look! The exit has arrived! ”
Yan'er rushed towards Lei Xing like a bird and took his hand: "Come on, look, I'll just say that there is a way out by following my sister, hahaha, you still said that you have been trapped for so many years, and you are stupid to death."
But let us call and pull the goose forward, Lei Xing stood in place like a demon, his brows furrowed, looking straight at the road ahead, without saying a word, like a bronze statue standing among us.
Yan'er took his hand, looked up at him, and asked gently, "Brother Lei, what's wrong?" Aren't you happy? Is it reluctant to get out, or is something happening? ”
