Although the dozen or so families in the mountain village are not wealthy, they are far away from the hustle and bustle of the world, and their lives have always been quiet and peaceful.

In his spare time, Gan Wu likes to go with his friends to play in the small pond in the back mountain, which is called "Lin Shui" by the villagers, or look forward to the novel stories that his father brings back home every time he takes herbs to the city to sell.

She will go to the forest water with three or two friends almost every day, the deepest part of the forest water is just past her head, the water here has no impurities, very clear, there are many small fish at the bottom of the water that are not afraid of life, every time they come, the small fish will swim around them, it is very magical.

In her father's story, there is a young lady from a certain family in Jinling, and a little village girl like her; There is the luxurious life of dignitaries and dignitaries, and there are ordinary people who can get by; There is a poignant love that touches people's hearts, and there is also a mediocre and bleak life; There are otherworldly ethereal immortals, and there are stupid and sluggish ordinary people.

She thinks her father is very powerful, because his father's story can never be finished.

Ganwu has spent year after year in such an environment.

She was nineteen years old.

This is where the story begins.

On that day, she returned home as usual, but saw that her father, who was supposed to sell herbs in the city, had returned early, and was sitting at the wooden table with a sad face sighing, and her mother was also standing aside with a serious face.

She was a little puzzled, because she rarely saw such a look in her parents, who had always been optimistic and cheerful.

"Ah......" I remembered, Ganwu's body shook, and he looked at the few people in front of him, "I remembered who that Wan'er was!" ”

My father was very serious that night, and he said, "Girl, you have heard so many stories from me, do you want to go out and really see and see?" ”

She was a little puzzled, but still replied seriously: "This ...... I do have some thoughts. ”

"That's good," the father clapped his hands in fear, "I told you before, your uncle has settled down in Hangzhou, why don't you go to your uncle's side to meet the market?" ”

"Huh?" She didn't react for a while.

"I've discussed it with your mother," the father smiled peacefully, "and it's a good choice for you to go out and see the world." ”

"So, aren't you going with me, when will I come back?" She asked again.

"We will not go with you," replied the father, "and as to when I will return, I have a letter here, and you should go and give it to your uncle, and let him have what he has to say." ”

In this way, when Ganwu was very puzzled, she took the coil and embarked on the road to Hangzhou.

But she always felt that there was something strange about it, and her father and mother used a somewhat lame reason for her to go to her uncle, and they seemed to be hiding something from her.

On the second day of departure, she sneaked back again.

Before entering the village, I felt waves of heat from afar, and the air was filled with the smell of burning wood.

From a distance, she saw the old Zhang family's house next door being engulfed in flames, and some people like the soldiers she had heard in her father's story were running back and forth in the village, and the people of the village were all gathered together.

After a while, those people left one after another.

She was a little dazed, and she sat in place for a long time before she came to her senses, and hurried back to the village.

The people in the village were busy putting out the fire, and no one cared about her.

"Girl!" Her father saw his daughter not far away.

"Dad, what's going on?"

Under her questioning, her father told her that a few days ago, a few people passed by their village, and the person headed by them fell in love with the daughter of Lao Zhang's family next door, saying that he wanted to buy her with money, Lao Zhang, they did not agree, so they had a conflict with the people over there, there were only two or three people there, and they wanted to rob Lao Zhang's daughter, but they were beaten away by Lao Zhang, and when they left, they said that they wanted to take all the women in the village away.

Father sighed, he had seen the man in the city, and that man was the son of a certain family in the city, and it was said that the family was quite powerful in the vicinity, and these people in their village alone could not compete with him. But he didn't want his daughter to worry, so he and his wife made such a plan to "feel the outside world".

"That Wan'er's name is Zhang Wan'er, and she is the daughter of the old Zhang family next door, and I have always been very good friends with her......" Gan Wu stopped here and said, "She was not caught, so those people killed her father and mother and burned her house...... I don't know what happened to her. ”

After hearing this, everyone fell silent, as if they were thinking about something.

"Begonia, what is the news you found?" Gan Wu coughed a few times and asked.

When Haitang heard this, he cleared his throat and said, "Actually...... "I've told you pretty much what I've heard," he seemed a little embarrassed, "and what I've found out about your past is the same as your own recollections, and not even as detailed as your own recollections." ”

"Sure enough......" Ganwu muttered to himself in a low voice.

"Then, what are you going to fight in the future—" Before the old city could finish speaking, Gan Wu interrupted:

"I'm so tired now, can you go out first?"

"Ah," Old City was stunned, "I'm sorry that you're so weak and you've said so much to us. ”

With that, everyone got up and left the room.

"Brother, you say?" Outside the door, Xiao Yue seemed to want to ask something, but her words were also interrupted by Begonia.

"Shh Begonia scolded in a low voice, and there was a faint sound of retching from the room.

"Is she alright?" The look on Ruan Whale Luo's face was still very worried.

Xiao Yue shook her head: "It's okay, it's better to rest more." ”

Everyone walked all the way to the lobby, and Ruan Jingluo looked at everyone and hesitated.

"Luo Luo, say what you want to say, don't hold back." Xiao Yue rolled her eyes.

"I feel that the state of perception is a little strange." Ruan Whale Luo said hesitantly.

Haitang sighed slightly, reached out and rubbed Ruan Whaleluo's head, and took the lead to walk to a table and sit down: "She is indeed a little strange. Or should I say that for a person who has such an experience, the mental state must be very bad, but Ganwu doesn't seem to have it. ”

Old Cheng was a little stunned when he heard this: "What do you mean, you mean that Ganwu's current performance shouldn't be so dull?" ”

Begonia nodded and agreed with the old city: "That's right. ”

"Maybe her psychological endurance is really so good?" Xiao Yue rolled her eyes again.

"No," Haitang denied Xiao Yue's words, "First of all, she had collapsed when she was imprisoned, judging from her description, the faceless woman is proof, I think it's just the opposite, her psychology is very fragile, for example, after she escaped from the dark room, her brain chose to lose the memory of this time, and after that, she often repeated the dreams of the faceless girl and Zhang Wan'er, you think, aren't these all manifestations of vulnerability?" ”

"Why do I think, what you say is a little strange......" Xiao Yue frowned slightly.

Haitang sighed and said: "Actually, she has a very important experience that she didn't tell us: how did she come to Hangzhou from which small mountain village, and what happened in between?" And then again, if she is really very fragile psychologically, it is possible that her so calm performance in front of us so far is disguised, and we may not know her true face. ”

"In that case," Ruan Whale Luo said thoughtfully, "I also feel that Gan Wu is a little too polite......

"So I have a conjecture," Begonia continued, "what do you say is like when a person is confronted with something he doesn't like so much?" ”

"Extreme disgust?" Xiaoyue replied.

"If it were you, how would you feel when faced with something that you deeply loath?" Begonia narrowed her eyes slightly.

Xiao Yue thought for a while and said, "Nausea, I want to vomit, I want to leave Nadong as soon as possible - you mean?!" Xiao Yue said, and also reacted.

Looking at Xiaoyue's suddenly realized expression, and then at the two people who were still a little confused on the side, Haitang said: "Let's have a meeting, what was she doing when we saw or heard Ganwu retching, or rather, what did she do before that?" ”

"Ah......" The old city also reacted, and looked up in the direction of the Ganwu room upstairs with some incredulity.

Ruan Whale Luo was stunned, she was still a little dazed.

"We can hear or see it, and Ganwu basically comes into contact with us before retching, doesn't it?" Xiaoyue acted as a narrator at the moment, "She pretended to be very calm and gentle when dealing with us, but in fact, she was very disgusted with us in her heart, so many times, she would not be able to restrain her retching when she returned to the room after talking to us." ”

"This-" Ruan Whale Luo couldn't accept the news for a while.

"All of this we said today is just conjecture, and there is no evidence to prove it to be true," Haitang clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention, "As for what happened, maybe we have to wait for Ganwu's body to recover before it can be revealed, everyone is very tired these days, and you can relax and rest tonight." ”

With that, Haitang greeted everyone and took the lead in leaving the lobby and returning to his room.

Seeing this, Xiao Yue also said hello to Ruan Jingluo in the old city and followed Haitang upstairs.

"Brother, what you just said, is it true?" Xiao Yue caught up with Begonia and asked.

Haitang shook his head: "I said it, it's all just speculation." ”

Following.

The clouds in the sky are very low, if it is a scattered petal of clouds, it will give people a sense of beauty that seems to be within reach, but the clouds at this moment are thick, which makes people a little suffocated, and the sky is hidden-

It is not appropriate to say that it is "hidden from the sky", because the first rays of morning light barely shine through the clouds and sprinkle onto the earth.

The light brought by the morning light was a little dim, but the temperature was still so high, and the clouds were overwhelming, although it was morning, it made people feel inexplicably stuffy.

I was about to go out to the old city of Hangzhou, and found a person lying there outside the gate of the wine shop.

It was Ganwu's corpse.

Ganwu is dead.
