Time: Late at night.

Location: In the valley behind Centipede Ridge.

Weather: Sunny and cool.

The half-curved moon hung over the top of the mountain, and the weak moonlight was worn out by the night before it could fully spill into the valley.

We finally found the camel, and we also found Xiaoling, who turned into a water shark, and thoroughly understood the truth of the matter.

All things started because of the camel and ended because of his death!

Since I found Xiaoling's body under the stone bridge, everything that has happened since then has been like a nightmare, twisted, bizarre, terrifying and unbelievable.

I'd rather it was just a nightmare!

It's just that the aching wounds on my body and the spirit flag inserted in my shorts are telling me all the time that what has happened in the past few days is not a dream.

The villagers of Longyi Village, Huozi, Second Master, Xiaoling and her mother, their voices and faces are like a movie playing backwards, and scenes appear in my mind one by one.

A person's life is not long, but it is not short, and perhaps for all of them, I am just a passerby.

And this incident is just a small episode in their lives, maybe after a while, they will forget, forget the second master, forget Xiaoling, the camel, and Xiaoling's mother's family.

Time is indeed the best Meng Po soup, just like the so-called plague incident when there was a Jiaojiao in our village before, many people have forgotten those who died.

Life is like this, no matter how painful and sad it is, the past is the past, and as long as you are alive, you must continue to live.

As for the old things, they are gradually being dusted, and maybe one day you will remember to wipe the dust of history with a rag, to reminisce, to be sad, to remember.

But, those people, those things, after all, are over!

Nothing will be left of it.

And to live, whether it is to survive or to live like a year, will eventually start a new life.

Time does not stop because of anyone, life is like a wheel, it always rolls, as long as life does not stop, the wheel of fate will always roll.

It's hard to turn back on what you missed!

And those who missed it, even if they meet again, have become old people.

The world is like a new chess game, and there will always be new people replacing old people!

The word "regret" is a word that accompanies you in your life until the moment you have a mind...... The end of life.

The lives of the second master and Xiaoling have not yet reached the end, because they still have memories of their lives, which is not the end, and there are memories and feelings, so the end of people and the beginning of life are at the moment when you drink Meng Po soup.

It's just that...... Is there really Meng Po soup in this world?

I don't know about this, but I know that the disaster in Longyi Village has a result!

And I, Yan Xiaoying, can finally breathe a sigh of relief and leave this eerie and terrifying valley to look forward to tomorrow's sunrise.

In autumn, the weather gradually cools down, especially in the deserted places where there are no people, which makes people feel extremely depressed.

I carried Liu Xiaojiao, who had been unconscious, on my back and walked out of the valley step by step, and Yan Xiaoying walked beside me, both of them without saying a word.

Perhaps what happened before was too much of an impact on our eyes and senses, so we need time to digest it.

In the silence of the valley, only the sound of our footsteps echoes.

I don't know if I'm mentally too tired, I always feel like someone behind me is watching me, like a man's back, but when I look back, I don't find anything.

This feeling did not disappear completely until we came to the bottom of the cliff where Centipede Ridge was located.

We didn't climb the cliff and turn back the way we came, because the road was too dangerous and the slopes on both sides of the valley weren't too steep.

Yan Xiaoying and I went around the cliff and followed the direction, and I don't know how long it took us to return to the halfway point of the mountain where Centipede Ridge was located.

The bright moon shines among the pines, and the clear spring water flows.

Under the pine forest, on the side of the mountain stream, we followed the steep descending path and drove down the mountain.

The two remained silent, and the silence in the woods was eerily silent.

Until we came to the foot of the mountain and crossed Erlong Mountain, it was almost dawn.

Although we had swallowed a lot of pills before, and our physical strength had greatly increased, we still felt exhausted after driving for so long.

Not only physical, but also mental!

After walking out of the mountains and forests, it seems that you can feel the strong smell of fireworks in the world.

I took a deep breath, turned to look at the lush, deep and silent mountains and forests behind me, and sighed, "It's finally out!" ”

After speaking, I couldn't help yawning, only to feel that my eyelids were extremely heavy, and my spirit was exhausted, and it was difficult to support.

And Yan Xiaoying's situation was not much better at this time, just when we were trying to find a place to rest for a while, and then leave, we suddenly saw many flashlight beams shaking in front of us, and the faint sound of someone talking came.

Soon after, we saw those people, they were a search and rescue team in the mountains, and they came a little slowly!

Seeing these people in uniform, I was completely relaxed. 118

Someone in the search and rescue team brought food and mineral water, Yan Xiaoying and I ate some shocks, and Liu Xiaojiao had already been carried away on a stretcher and sent to the hospital for treatment.

In fact, the rest of the people also carried two stretchers and wanted to take us to the hospital, but Yan Xiaoying and I shook our heads and refused.

A few minutes later, Li Guodong hurried to see us when he heard the news, and when he saw that Yan Xiaoying and I were safe and sound, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "It's good to be alive, it's good to be alive!" ”

As he spoke, he wiped the sweat from his forehead, and Yan Xiaoying and I wanted to laugh a little as he looked like a servant, but when he thought of what happened to the second master and Xiaoling and their family, he couldn't laugh.

Li Guodong didn't ask us too much about what happened on Centipede Ridge, he asked us to send us back to rest first, and as for the rest, we will talk about it after we have rested physically.

In fact, Yan Xiaoying and I do need to rest.

Yan Xiaoying didn't want to go to the hospital, and I didn't want to go either, the injuries on her body were not fatal, and her father was a villager, so it was more than enough to deal with these injuries, so there was no need to be so troublesome.

In fact, I was homesick and homesick!

"Xiaoying, you are injured, do you want to come to my house and ask my mother to deal with it for you?" Before leaving, I asked Yan Xiaoying.

"No!"

Yan Xiaoying shook her head and said, "You don't need to trouble Auntie for this little injury, I can handle it myself, by the way, you come to the coffin shop tomorrow morning to find me, let's go to the hospital to visit Xiaojiao together, and by the way, pick up the old fat guy and discharge him." After staying in the hospital for so long, it is estimated that he has long been suffocated. ”

I nodded when I heard this, and at Li Guodong's insistence, I was "cared for" by two big men all the way and sent back to the village.

When I returned to the entrance of the village, the sun had already risen, and the smoke curled in the village, calm and peaceful, and everything was almost the same as before.

I didn't let the two big men carry me into the village, because it would be so eye-catching, and if the neighbors next door saw it, they would probably have to guess what I had done.

This is the case in the countryside, especially the aunts who like to chew the root of the tongue, which are helpless and can't cry or laugh, so there are some things that you have to pay attention to them.

After letting the two big men sent by Li Guodong leave, I tidied up my clothes a little, and the clothes were put on by Li Guodong.

Walking into the village, the village was as usual, most of the people were busy in the houses, and few people noticed me, the one who came home.

Occasionally, when I met villagers who were busy farming on the road, I greeted them with a few perfunctory words and said goodbye in a hurry.

Farmers are not idle, they always have a lot to do day in and day out, although most of the time you don't know what they're up to......

The door of the house is open, and at this time my father is already sitting in the clinic to take the pulse, and as for my mother, if I am correct, she should be making breakfast in the kitchen.

Striding into the courtyard, I saw smoke rising from the smoke stove on the top of the kitchen, and I could faintly see someone working in it from the window.

I took a deep breath, hesitated, and finally tore my throat and shouted into the room, "Mom, I'm back!" ”

"Oh? Why did you suddenly have time to go down the mountain today? Don't you have to be on duty to guard the mountain? Or are you lazy and don't work well? The room's familiar nagging voice came from the room.

She didn't rush out to meet me in excitement, everything was so plain, plain with warmth.

"I'm off for rest today, so I'm going down the mountain to see you, and Xiaoya's girl. By the way, that girl should be in school at this time, right? ”

"Or else? Do you think you skip class as often as you did when you were a kid and don't go to school? Let me tell you, Xiaoya, this girl is very well-behaved......"

My mother was still busy in the kitchen, chattering and chattering, and she never came out to look at me.

With a wry smile, I walked into the hall without looking at her, rummaging through the counter table for the disinfectant potion and bandage herbs that my father had left behind.

Hearing the sound of me rummaging for things, my mother finally couldn't hold back the shovel holding the stir-fry, and rushed out of the kitchen angrily, and said angrily: "As soon as I get home, I will turn things into a mess, what do you want to find, just tell me!" ”

"What about the disinfectant, tetanus ointment and bandages that my dad left behind? Why can't I find it? I asked without looking back.

"What are you doing in your dad's room? Could it be that you fell down the mountain again? ”

Mom said as she ran up to me to look at me.

When she saw the wound on my face and neck, her brows immediately furrowed, and she asked with a cold face, "What's going on?" ”

"Fall!"

I answered, quickened my pace to leave, and hurried back to my dad's room after finding what I needed, and locked the door behind me.

As soon as I took off my clothes, sure enough, there was a strong knock on the door, and then my mother's voice came: "Is the injury serious?" Do you want to ask your dad to come back and show you? ”

"No need, I'm rubbing the ointment, it's inconvenient to open the door, you go get busy first." I responded.

Mom chattered and finally left.

I breathed a sigh of relief, took off my clothes, and began to treat the wound.

After dealing with the wounds on my body, I became more sleepy, lying on the bed covered with a quilt, and just about to fall asleep, my mother knocked on the door again, and it turned out that I was asked to eat breakfast.

When I met the rescue team before, I had already eaten, so I wasn't hungry now, and I just wanted to rest, so I replied in a daze: "I don't want to eat!" After that, his eyes were closed, and he fell asleep completely.

As the saying goes, a golden nest and a silver nest are not as good as your own kennel.

Spending the night outside is never as comfortable as lying in a bed at home!

I slept very soundly and comfortably this night, and I felt that I could sleep until dark.

However, just as I was falling asleep, I heard a knock on the door, followed by shouting.

I slept so deeply that I didn't want to pay attention to other things at all, so I covered my head with the quilt and continued to see Zhou Gong.

Unexpectedly, a few minutes later, the door suddenly rumbled and someone smashed open from the outside......
