Chapter Twenty-Six: The Known End

This panic was only for a moment, and soon, Ellie Jie returned to her happy appearance, like an obedient little lover, leaning on Tao Yuan's side, watching him carefully grill the fish, and then carefully peeling off the burnt skin, feeding herself the tender fish little by little, just like she had just done.

"Why don't you laugh all the time?"

"There was a little accident in the plastic surgery, and it hurt the facial nerves, and it was difficult to make expressions. ”

"Ha, you have plastic surgery, no wonder you look so good, but you don't look like someone who cares a lot about your looks. ”

Tao Yuan didn't answer this question, he didn't like his current appearance, in other words, he didn't like everything he was now, even if his face was handsome, even if his mechanical legs were powerful, but that was not what he wanted, he just wanted his former self, his complete self.

"Why do you like to laugh so much?"

"How do you know I like to laugh? When I first met you, I never smiled. ”

Tao Yuan didn't make a sound, he wouldn't explain that he could tell whether a person liked to laugh from the lines of a person's facial muscles.

Ellijie looked at Tao Yuan's poker face and looked at the bonfire in front of her intently, and didn't mean to ask, so she wrinkled her nose and said crisply:

"Well, I do like to laugh, every girl who is pampered by her father will love to laugh, but when I met you on the plane, I encountered sadness, but now that sadness is gone, although... But it added to the regret. ”

As she spoke, outside the sunny cave, it suddenly began to rain, and it became heavier and heavier, beating the wildflowers in full bloom and setting off a rain of flowers.

The petals fluttered in the wind, and then fell to the ground with the raindrops, spreading a carpet full of purple and red.

It's beautiful, but after the rain, the jungle will be left in a mess, this is the appearance of regret, regret is always born because of gorgeousness.

Tao Yuan wondered if it was raining outside, because the sun was still so bright.

Ellie looked at the sudden heavy rain outside the cave, and her voice began to murmur:

"When I was a child, I liked this kind of rainy day the most, because my father, who works on the construction site, would take a vacation in such weather, buy a lot of snacks, watch movies and play games with me at home, and I loved him very much. ”

"Miss him?"

Tao Yuan asked calmly, and from the words, he could tell that Ellie's father was no longer there.

Ellie shook her head with a smile and said with certainty:

"I don't want to think about it now. ”

With that, her voice suddenly became gentle:

"But will miss you. ”

Tao Yuan nodded, looking outside the cave, the sun shining on the rain, like a crystal bead curtain.

He pulled out a cigarette, and Ellie obediently reached out and pulled out a coal-fired fire to help him light it.

"Shhhh Whew..."

Tao Yuan took a hard puff of cigarette, and then sniffed hard, but unfortunately, even if he tried harder, the crystal snot still flowed out of his nostrils, which was very warm.

"Heh... I've got a cold!"

Ellie looked at Tao Yuan's snot with a smile, and wiped it directly with her white hands, she smiled so brightly, but her eyes were overflowing with crystal droplets, brighter than the rain in the sun.

The two of them leaned on each other like this, watching in a daze as the outside of the cave began to turn from bright to dark, until the last ray of the remnant sun was hidden.

The muffled sound of "boom" shook the mountains and fields as the sun wore out, and even the rocky floor of the cave where he sat seemed to tremble.

This voice was not the first time Tao Yuan had heard it, the last time he left the seven-colored jungle, he had heard the same sound, and it was also the moment when the sun was exhausted.

Ellie moved, sat up straight very calmly, and looked at Tao Yuan, as if there were a thousand words hidden in her eyes.

Tao Yuan sniffled twice more, turned his face sideways to look at Ellie, and tried to keep his voice as calm as it had been, but he was still a little trembling:

"Going?"

Ellie Jie smiled, as if it took a lot of effort before she nodded, she didn't feel strange at all that Tao Yuan suddenly asked this sentence, when Tao Yuan insisted on grilling a fish and returning it to herself, Ellie Jie knew that this smart man knew the ending.

She just couldn't guess whether this man didn't want to owe the fish a favor, or just played such a play with him with pity, Ellie didn't want to know the answer, this was enough.

Tao Yuan also nodded, not wiping the snot flowing from his nostrils.

"Why?"

He knows the ending, but he doesn't know the reason, and he is a person who only cares about the ending, which is a rare time he will ask the reason.

Ellijie looked at Tao Yuan, slowly wrapped her hands around his neck, and hugged him tightly.

"The answer never needs to be found, everything is predestined, go up the river in front of the cave, no matter how terrible it may be, do not go back, you will find the way out, and I will guard you until you leave. ”

As she spoke, she let go of her arm, put the pendant on her neck on Tao Yuan's neck, and then held Tao Yuan's face with both hands, her lips lightly, and then she faced Tao Yuan, and slowly retreated towards the entrance of the cave, and gradually walked away.

Tao Yuan didn't move, although he didn't know the answer, but he knew that he couldn't do anything, and the faint smell of water made him desperate.

Ellie Jie slowly retreated into the stream, reluctant to blink.

Tao Yuan watched the beautiful girl walk in the seven-colored mist, standing on the stream, getting shorter and shorter, until finally, only a white animal skin remained on the water.

Rather than sinking into the water, Alyselle turned into water and became one with the stream.

The flowing water swayed with the white animal skin and gradually disappeared in the blink of an eye, and although the seven-colored mist was somewhat bright, it could only make people barely see, and could not make people see very far.

Tao Yuan stroked the necklace left by Ellijie around her neck, which was a heart-shaped pendant, and when she opened it, there was a photo of Alyselle blooming with a bright smile.

He didn't know why he was so uncomfortable, whether it was his powerlessness in the face of the outcome, or his pity for Ellie, or because of the heart that Ellie had carved into the stone wall.

"What is it that makes you want to leave? Your laughter is real, from the heart, why is that?"

Tao Yuan felt that his thoughts were very chaotic, he took a few deep breaths to calm his emotions down, and slowly lit a cigarette.

"What happened to Ellie?"

He struggled to remember being washed into the downhill cavern, and suddenly remembered that before he lost consciousness, he felt surrounded by a black mass, which he thought was a dying hallucination, but now that he thought about it, maybe it was real.

"The cave downhill is full of stagnant water, and even if there is an upward exit at the end, a weak little girl like Ellie Jie will definitely not be able to rescue me, she will not even be able to pull my body on the flat ground, someone must help him. ”

Thinking of this, he seemed to have an answer.

"It was the black shadow monster that brought us out of the ground. ”

Before thinking about it, whether the black shadow appeared for the first time, or instigated the Peter who didn't know the truth, its goal has not changed, just to catch Ellie, and it doesn't care about the others.

"Will I survive, is it Elijah's deal with it, what is the price of the deal, and why does it have to catch Elliejie? She will protect me, then she must still be alive......"

Tao Ran fell into deep thought, like a clay statue......
