Chapter 6: The Evil Desert Girl
I don't know why, but the rabbit's noisy voice makes me happy; The fierce and stern countenance of the tigress gave me warmth; I don't know when I started looking forward to meeting them. Is it because I don't want to face reality, or is this dream more comforting to me?
"It's good to wake up, get up when you wake up! This place is so hot, it's been guarding you for a long time. "The rabbit is clearly getting impatient.
Immersed in relief, I was pulled back to reality by this noisy voice.
It doesn't say it's hot and doesn't feel hot, but it's really hot. I sat up with my body propped up, and before my eyes were clear, I was surrounded by hot air balls, beads of sweat dripping, and my whole body was wet. Finally sober, I looked around at everything I could see: a yellow patch, as far as I could see, high and low undulating sand ridges, one after another, not even a dead tree, at this time I missed the old tree spirit a little; Emerald green and beautiful, how watery! I sighed helplessly: "Why is it in the desert!" "I looked at the rabbit on my left, and then at the tiger on my right.
"Okay, needless to say, my dream, I can't blame others!" I threw myself on the sand and stood up: "Say, where are you going?" Do? ”
"Hey, you've changed your mind?" The rabbit stood across from me, pinching its limp waist.
"You rabbit, why are you so cheap? You didn't get the pendant, I haven't settled accounts with you, but you forgot about it! "I hunched my waist, and the water snake sword was the best at looking at people's faces, and when I saw that I was deliberately teasing the rabbit, I pointed at it. Seeing this, the rabbit hurriedly sold it: "Water snake spirit, you can be regarded as having found the master, in terms of sincerity, if you are the second, no one dares to be the first!" I can't fight you. But I promise that one day I will find a way to get you back. ”
"Okay, that's what you said, how about the Pattern Tiger testify for us!" I looked at the patterned tiger and said.
"I don't have the time you have to talk about that." After that, he went straight away arrogantly.
The rabbit followed, and the water snake spirit and I were still in the same place, looking at the back of the big and the small, thinking about the conversation just now, and feeling warm from the bottom of my heart.
"It's getting dark, how far do we have to go?" I was so hot, hungry and thirsty, and I was too tired to walk.
"If you don't want to spend the night in this desert, hurry up!" The rabbit's head doesn't look back, but the little short legs are quite diligent.
"Where the hell are you going? Who are you looking for? This is the desert, do you know the way! If you don't make it clear, I won't take a single step! "I ran after it and got in front of the rabbit.
The rabbit sighed helplessly: "I suggest you don't waste your physical strength and spit, just walk away, you are annoyed like this?" What else can you do? ”
The rabbit's serious words are very reasonable, but they leave me speechless.
Forget it, let's go.
"Here we are, here we are!" The rabbit stood on a small stone mound and said happily.
I was exhausted on all fours, and I was already exhausted, dragging my shriveled body, looking up, and saying weakly, "These two broken stones, are they gates?" "To be exact, there are two "blocks" of big walls, but for some reason it feels the same as decoration, whether there is or not seems to have no effect, in or not, out and out, are worry-free.
"Be careful when you enter this gate, this is the 'Evil Desert'," the rabbit said earnestly, jumping down from the rock.
"Evil? What's evil? I asked, puzzled.
The rabbit didn't pay any attention to me, but just strode in.
"There is always evil in this world, just like the dark side of the human heart, how can there be truth, goodness and beauty everywhere?" The Pattern Tiger passed by me and said with a sigh.
This pattern tiger is silent, but it is amazing! It does make a lot of sense.
I carefully examined the "gate" and cautiously walked inside, the Water Serpent Sword following me timidly.
Stepping into this "gate", a chill penetrated my backbone, which was a desert area, but I felt extremely cold. I don't know if the "gloomy" atmosphere comes with nightfall, or if it's just like that, day and night.
It is a winding road, with no end in sight, broken walls, and no complete house at all; The bustle of the city has nothing to do with here, there are no stalls for sale, no children laughing and playing, no women wandering around, it can be said that this is a deserted city, but it is not the depression and silence of the city after the lights and wine; It is not a sparsely populated village that has been uninhabited for a long time; Everything reveals the slightest hint of insidiousness and evil. I really shuddered, trotted a few steps, and followed closely next to the patterned tiger, I don't know why, by its side, there is a sense of security.
It is strange to say that in such an eerie and terrifying place, a pair of children holding hands came to meet them. They were jumping on the left side of the road, and we were walking slowly on the right side of the road. I don't know why, since we walked in, we have been silent, unusually quiet. My attention was completely drawn to these two children, and although I couldn't see them clearly, I could see from the outline that the two girls, seven or eight years old, had two little pigtails on their heads, holding hands, and I didn't know what they were talking about, and from time to time there was a rattling of laughter. This picture seems to go back to my childhood. I thought that there would be no cars in this kind of place, horses, but I vaguely heard the sound of the car "galloping", I fixed my eyes and looked, sure enough, there was a car shaped like a jeep silhouette, rushing towards us, everyone saw hurriedly leaning on the side of the road, but the two little girls did not have such a consciousness, I and the two beasts were about to come out of the word "careful", but unfortunately, one of the girls was running towards the other side of the road, everything was too fast, so fast that the words had not been shouted out, Before the girl had time to react, she had already been knocked down in a pool of yellow sand and blood by this "flying disaster"; The terrible thing is that the deadly car did not stop at all, and the same speed passed us; I looked at the shadow of the speeding car and at the motionless girl lying in a pool of blood, and my thoughts stopped, and the scene before me was like before.
After a few seconds, I seemed to come back to my senses, and the tiger and the rabbit were standing beside the girl who had lost her breath; To tell the truth, I am glad that the haze of the evening did not allow me to witness such a tragic situation again, and I naturally did not have the courage to walk past; I cast my eyes on the other girl, who stood there, looking at the breathless girl, as if she had been nailed there, motionless like a wooden man; I guess I'm scared! I involuntarily walked up to the little girl, but she didn't seem to notice me, and I slowly crouched down; The two braids, of different heights, were loose, and the fine hair roamed her face with the faint wind of evil, and her eyes were full of horror and fear, but I guess there was still a sense of overwhelm! I didn't say anything, just looked at her quietly, and suddenly, she turned and ran towards the endless side of the road, and for some reason, my brain was at the mercy of my legs, and she ran with it.
The girl is very familiar with the road conditions here, the twists and turns of the path, the air, and the shuttle is easy, but I look clumsy, and the water snake sword is also stumbling. There were no people here, and it was even more bleak in the twilight. The girl stopped in a "fortress" of about ten square meters, with four walls of varying heights, and crouched in the corner, her face buried between her legs, her shoulders moving, obviously sobbing; I walked over to her, in the same position as her, and sat there, silent; She just needed someone to be there for her at this moment.
The twilight was getting heavier and heavier, and the girl, who was gradually calming down, raised her head and looked at me with tearful eyes: "Feifei is my best friend. I smiled slightly, I don't know why, I know what she was thinking: "Today's incident is not your fault." ”
The girl's tears slipped down in big gulfs: "But, but, I asked her to come out with me, she was with me, it was my fault." ”
"No, it's not your fault, it's the car's fault." I hurriedly comforted.
"She, is she, is she dead?" She asked me tentatively.
I nodded slightly.
The girl was crying, and I took her into my arms.
"Let's go find Feifei's mom and dad, and then send you home, okay?" I patted her with one hand and said.
When the girl heard my words, she immediately broke free from my arms and stood up: "I don't want to go home, I don't want to go home, I don't want to see Feifei's parents." ”
I also stood up and squatted in front of her: "Why don't you want to go home?" ”
The girl was very disappointed, lowered her head and said, "I live at my aunt's house, my mother is gone, and my father has left me at my aunt's house." ”
After saying this, he raised his head with a pitiful face: "They don't like me, no one wants me." ”
I sighed, tears rolled in my eyes, and I said distressedly: "That's your aunt, how can I not like you, it's too late to love you, where someone loves you is home, there is a home, you are not a child that no one wants." ”
"Is that so?" The girl asked me suspiciously.
"Yes, if you don't believe me, you can say 'I love you' to your aunt when you go home, and she will be very happy." I said with a smile.
The girl smiled: "But, I don't want to, I don't dare to go." ”
"I'll accompany you to meet Feifei's parents, okay?"
The girl nodded, just smiling, and then lost: "But what am I going to say?" ”
I thought about it for a while: "You just say, 'Uncle and aunt, I'll be with you in the future'!" ”
"Sister, I can't play with Feifei anymore, can I?" The girl looked at me innocently.
"You put her in 'this.'" I pointed to the girl's heart, "So that you can see it again, and you can still play together." ”
"Hmm!" The girl smiled.
Under the leadership of the girl, Feifei's parents were found and informed of what had happened, and heartbreak was the most appropriate description of their mood. In the end, the girl was sent back to "home".
As the night fell, we found a relatively well-closed "house" and rested, intending to spend the night. I leaned against the corner, without saying a word, the rabbit was unusually quiet, the water snake sword leaned lightly against me, but the pattern tiger walked to my side and lay beside me: "What are you thinking, child!" ”
"When the girl came home, she turned around and smiled at me, and that smile was always in my mind, and I thought it was so nice and clean. And Feifei's tragic death has always haunted my mind, making me feel pity and sadness. But I don't know why I felt a sense of relief in my heart. I looked at the tiger very seriously.
"When you have the courage to face and take on everything you have, your heart will light up. What's the girl's name? The tiger closed his eyes and fell to the ground.
I didn't really understand what Huawenhu said, and simply answered her question: "She said her name is Qing'er!" ”
Since I was 18 years old, I have suffered from one of the most common diseases of the 21st century – insomnia. Some people say that this is a manifestation of depression, but I naturally don't believe it, but have I been depressed since I was 18 years old? Some people also say that this disease will be inherited, I believe this statement, for as long as I can remember, my mother has suffered from severe insomnia, often watching her difficult to sleep, sighing, turning over and over, this is considered the "wealth" that my mother gave me? It's been almost ten years now, and I've been tormented by this insomnia for nearly ten years, so it can be said that I haven't slept beautifully for a long time. And at this moment, lazily leaning on the soft body of the patterned tiger, with the ups and downs of her breathing, like lying in the cradle, I am stable and comfortable, just like when I was a child, it was how the nose itched, what the hell was bothering my nose, I didn't want to open my eyes, I rubbed it with my hand; Why are they bothering my nose again, it's endless? I opened my eyes with a sense of getting up and sat up with a bang: "Dead rabbit, I knew it was you!" The rabbit took a piece of hay and leaned back and laughed on the ground. I was furious, grabbed his two ears, stood up, he hung in the air, upside down his little short legs, and kept oozing: "You girl doesn't know what to do, the sun is drying your ass!" I'm kind enough to wake you up. I was about to speak, when I saw his two dirty little paws pounce on my face, and in a panic I threw him out again, and with the sound of his cooing on the ground, I shouted, "You are crazy, dead rabbit!" ”
I kept wiping the dirt from the rabbit essence on my face, disgusted to death; The water snake spirit tried to protect me, pointing at the rabbit spirit that had fallen to the ground; The patterned tiger walked up to me with a yawn: "Child, he's helping you, don't wipe it, if you wipe it, it's in vain!" Listening to the words of the Pattern Tiger, I was very puzzled, and said with a little complaint: "Pattern Tiger, how can you help him tease me together!" The rabbit spirit pounced on the dust on his body, supported his soft waist, looked at the water snake spirit and said, "You will know if I am helping you when you go out in a while, and don't talk nonsense with you girl." Then he went away, and the tiger followed, with a lazy step; The water snake spirit turned around and moved to my side, I looked at him, and said helplessly: "Forget it, anyway, there is no place to wash your face where this bird doesn't, let's go!" ”
I don't know when it began.,I don't seem to be afraid of the pattern tiger anymore.,And the rabbit spirit doesn't seem to be so annoying.。
"Hey, you wait for me!" I caught up with them.
"Shh The bunny spirit's eyes widened, and his fingers gestured to his mouth.
I didn't understand what it meant, but I didn't ask, I looked up: the ruins in the sun were clearer, at a glance, there were no houses that looked complete, and there were no towns and villages, no merchants, no bustling streets and alleys, and no comfort and beauty in the countryside, the ground was uneven, the sand was flying, and the air was full of sand and dirt, which was the smell of rot, although at this moment, I was in the sun, but I still couldn't see the "light". Although I am accustomed to the fact that animals can talk in this dream, I am really surprised by the monsters in front of me, which look like people but not people, ghosts and ghosts, and beasts and not beasts.
The Pattern Tiger and the Rabbit Spirit walked in front, and I followed closely behind the Water Snake Sword, my steps were very light and cautious, and I didn't dare to breathe, for fear that any monster would realize my existence; I didn't dare to look up, and I watched every monster that came into my sight. Oh my God, a ragged monster leaning barefoot against a wall, with a festering face, glazed eyes, and a mouth full of blood, is tearing at a chicken's neck with his teeth, is this the zombie of The Walking Dead? It's sick to my stomach when I look at it. Has this rat also become a sperm? A mouse's face with a large face peeked out of the broken wall, and then he stretched out his hands and lay there like a man, looking at us, and accidentally I made eye contact with him, so frightened that I hurried to avoid his rat light. Looking to the right, a fat man in unclothed clothes fell to the ground, snoring and sleeping, as if holding a wine bottle in his hand. I raised my head slightly, my skin was as white as jade, although the yellow sand was all over the sky, I couldn't cover the skin like jade, a pair of red high heels seemed to have thin and long legs, the so-called red dress was actually a piece of red cloth, but the perfect curve, the figure was properly displayed, the sultry collarbone, the tender white swan neck, I felt how could I be so beautiful as a woman; With such a hot body, her appearance must be wonderful, but she was wearing a hat with a black veil covering her face tightly, but it didn't matter, she was walking towards us with the steps of the catwalk. We stopped, she stopped, and the male rabbit was naturally fascinated by it; Looking up at the beauty, her eyes were straight and hooked. The woman squatted down, and her delicate jade hand stroked the rabbit's fluffy head, and the rabbit naturally got carried away and entered the gentle township.
"What a cute little white rabbit!" The woman said coquettishly.
The patterned tiger slowly approached the woman, staring at him with vicious eyes, baring fangs, the woman was just about to pick up the rabbit, the patterned tiger opened its mouth at him, roared, this roar seemed to be a violent wind, the woman's veil rolled up, incredible, I thought it was a fairy face, but I didn't know that it was a hideous and cunning fox face, the rabbit spirit was frightened and relieved, woke up from the gentle township, leaned back, I also subconsciously leaned back; Before I could compose myself, the fox swooped away, and the tiger roared in the direction of her flight, which seemed to me to be showing off her victory!
I couldn't help it: "What is this?" ”
Neither of these people came back to me, the rabbit spirit should not dare to speak, and the patterned tiger seemed to be still immersed in the incident just now, still angry.
"Help, help!" Suddenly, there was a female shouting from not far away, and several of us watched in unison.
I saw a man in a white shirt and trousers tearing at a woman in good shape; My eyes were frozen, and in a trance, I could see that the man was behind the woman's back, strangled her by the neck, and dragged her towards the ruins, and the woman's cry for help became smaller and smaller; In the blurred eyes, the tiger and the rabbit were running towards them quickly, I was stunned there, motionless, my body unconsciously began to tremble, the water snake spirit bumped into me, I relieved myself, looked at it, it pointed to the direction of the man's violence, signaled me to go over, it walked in front, I had long run out of ideas, I followed in a trance, the first few steps were so heavy that there was a feeling of Mount Tai pressing the top, but I don't know where the spirit came from, and I ran over quickly.
I was not short of them with the pattern tiger for a few seconds, almost at the same time to get there, the man sat on the woman's body, punched hard at her face, the woman's consciousness gradually weakened, the man was just about to tear her clothes, the pattern tiger "How~~" a throat, like thunder shocked all of us, the rabbit pounced on the man's neck, with his small teeth to bite hard, the man kept in pain, a throw off the rabbit, he touched the blood on the neck, got off the woman, and lay on the ground in a panic, The toothy tiger was slowly approaching him, eager to pounce on him, the man was so frightened that he kept retreating back to the base of the wall, his legs trembling, he looked at me, our eyes met, his eyes seemed to beg me to let him go; How can such a filthy and despicable person be let go; I thank God for giving me a chance to take revenge in my dreams, a chance to punish evil, and a chance to take revenge myself; I walked up to him step by step, looking at his ugly face viciously: "Let me come!" "Seeing me like this, the tiger stepped aside; I smiled wickedly and shouted, "Water Serpent Sword!" "The water snake sword hung in front of me with a flash of water as if it had been prepared, and I stretched out my right hand, grasped the handle of the sword tightly, and pointed it at the man; When the man saw this, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed and begged: "Spare me, spare me!" I didn't say a word, there was no wave in my heart, I just thought: "A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, how can I kill you, you can be more painful." He raised his hands tremblingly, and his foul mouth was still defending: "You can't blame me, she is dressed so beautifully, I really can't help it, spare it." Before he finished speaking, I stabbed a sword into his heart, black and red blood slowly overflowed, the dirty man looked at his heart with a surprised face, I swooped out the sword, and the man lay at my feet. I stood there without saying a word, stupid, my hands trembling, tears in my eyes, and the tiger and the rabbit did not make any sound, and I knew that they were also immersed in the incredulous.
A pair of cold hands grasped my right hand holding the sword, my eyes fell on my hand, the insulted girl held my hand tightly, her head was leaning on her hand, her head was buried, her shoulders were sobbing and trembling; I bent down and stood up with my trembling left hand; Looking at her face, it was a twenty-four or five-year-old girl, tears had blurred her eyes, her face had long been stained by yellow sand, her long messy hair was not smooth, the corners of her mouth were bruised, her eyes were purple and red, her face was obviously swollen, and a red strangulation mark on her neck was very conspicuous; The clothes were torn off the shoulders, the black corset was leaking naked, and the visible places on her body were full of scars and yellow sand. Even in the heat of this desert, she still trembled, her mouth did not obey, I knew she wanted to say thank you, but I also knew that she could not say anything at this time, I looked at her panicked eyes, so distressed that my breathing hurt, I held back the tears in my eyes, and said firmly: "It's okay, no one can bully you, don't be afraid." I lowered my sword, took off my waistcoat, and draped it over her.
The bunny tugged at my trouser leg and motioned for me to look around. Some of those "monsters" were lying on the wall, some were looking through the window frames, and some were standing in the so-called doorway of this ruined wall, watching coldly; The "vixen" took a step forward, looked at the filthy man in the pool of blood, and said coquettishly: "Yo, this is murder, this is a big crime!" After saying that, I turned around and slipped away, I ignored her, picked up the water snake sword, pointed at them, and shouted, "Have you seen enough of the jokes? Yes? They looked at me stupidly, and I added viciously: "It's even more hateful to see death and not save it, do you want to die with him?" ”
As soon as the words fell, the monsters fled in a panic.
"We're in trouble!" Rabbit Spirit said.
"yes, this is the Evil Desert!" The Tiger walked up to us and said.
The girl had not yet recovered from her fright, and my 30 years of courage seemed to have run out in that moment, and I stood there at a loss.
The rabbit seemed to see through me and said, "But the matter has come to this point, it doesn't matter, the soldiers will come to block it, and the water will cover it!" ”
"So what now?" Patterned Tiger said.
"Let's get out of here and find the person we're looking for!" The rabbit looked at the filthy man in the pool of blood.
I helped the girl to come out of the ruins when a pickup truck came over and stopped in front of us with flying sand. A few of us sensed something bad was going to happen and pulled together. "Fox Spirit" was the first to get out of the car, followed by three strong men dressed as western cowboys. The vixen said, "They are the ones who killed people!" As soon as the words fell, three western cowboys neatly pulled out their guns and pointed them at us neatly.
