Chapter 17 Broken Temples in Deserted Villages
Ji Yayun's reaction confirmed the facts.
I immediately held Dou Dabao in my hand, and pulled my other hand into the distance, "It's green, it's spring!" ”
If you want to change to normal, no matter how nervous you are, Dou Dabao will most likely gag and ask who is 'green', but this time, when he and Lin Tong reacted, they were dumbfounded, and only their chin didn't fall off.
They must not be blamed for their slow reactions, but normal people may be very sensitive to changes in details, but if the overall environment changes under their noses, it is not easy to be noticed for a while.
What we're facing now is 'Spring is coming.'"
Along the way, all I saw was the barrenness of late winter, but it was only after this while, and when I looked at it again, it was fresh green. Even the hut where we rested, the withered vines covered outside, had already grown green leaves.
The first thing Dou Dabao said when he came back was to ask me: "How long have I slept this night?" ”
I didn't look at the time just now, and I didn't have the ability of a blind man to pinch his mind, so I said:
"When you fall asleep, I don't sleep, half a pack of ham sausages, three bottles of two taels of two pots, even if you eat and drink slowly, it will only take two or three hours at most."
As he spoke, he still flipped out his phone to check the time, but found that he couldn't turn it on at all.
Dou Dabao, Ji Yayun and Lin Tong took out their mobile phones, and it was the same.
Ji Yayun was careful in the end, and asked me why I kicked the door for no reason even if I found out that it was wrong just now.
I thought to myself that I couldn't find the peeping man, and that speaking out at this time would only cause panic, so I simply said that I had drunk too much, and I was upset, and I kicked the door just to vent.
Dou Dabao's brain circuit is not ordinary, and after being surprised, he actually plucked a grass stem from the ground, put it in his mouth and chewed it twice, and said:
"If you want me to say, this situation is not bad, but we have limited dry food. Now you can find wild vegetables and grass roots everywhere, so that you will not run out of food and be starved to death. ”
After speaking, he squeezed his eyebrows at me, I understood what he meant, and remembered the purpose of my original intention to get out of the shack, so I said directly to Ji Yayun and Lin Tong:
"Let's wait here, don't move the place, let's go to the back of the house for convenience."
Dou Dabao and I went around to the back of the shack, and while I unbuttoned my pants and 'released the water', I whispered to him about being spied on, telling him to keep quiet, just be careful.
Dou Dabao nodded, and still asked me in a tangled way, how long did he sleep, did I fall asleep in a daze at the moment, if that is the case, when I wake up, time and space change, but I can barely say the past.
I resolutely asked him not to let his mind fly wildly, this situation is by no means normal at present, but it will never be a situation that only exists in science fiction movies like the reversal of time and space.
'One Night Rejuvenation', which is only available in fairy tales and magical stories, was actually encountered by us, and everything was so real. Don't say that I'm dizzy now, even if the blind man is a feng shui master, or the monk Jinghai is here, he may not be able to give an explanation.
Since this is the case, then deal with it calmly, just find Sang Lan and the others first.
Back in front, Lin Tong and Ji Yayun were looking up at the sky together, and when they arrived, before I could speak, Lin Tong lowered his head, took out something from his arms and handed it to me.
What she took out was an antique pocket watch that had been used to 'hypnotize' Xuan Sheng before.
I also vaguely felt as if I had overlooked something, and when I saw this, I took it, flicked open the case and looked at it, and I was stunned.
The time when the watch hand stopped moving and stopped was 4:57.
The old-fashioned watches were all mechanical gears, and when I saw no obvious signs of water ingress, I tried to wind the watch.
Listen to the sound, there is no fault, but the watch hand just does not go.
"Don't bother." Lin Tong took the watch back, "It's not a problem with the watch, I suspect that time has stopped since we found footprints on the river beach last night." ”
Ji Yayun also looked at me and said, "The sky is almost the same as when we arrived at this shack before. As I said, we slept for two or three hours, and it should have been dark. ”
Lin Tong said: "There is another point that can be proven, that is, before going to bed, I was ready to wait for that Lin Tong to appear, but she did not appear." I can feel that she is still there, but her strength has become quite weak, as if she no longer has the same abilities as before. ”
I said, "That's not the point, if you have all the momentum, then keep looking for someone." ”
It is now clear that we are indeed lost. And it's not just the path that is lost, it seems that there is still time.
After going through too many puzzles, my style has already changed, and my original purpose comes first, except for all factors, which are negligible.
When you think about it this way, the goal is clearer.
If the beginning and end of this mysterious 'labyrinth' are the path we take after crossing the bridge, then both ends can be ignored for the time being. The most 'complicated' location of geography, and where Sang Lan and others may be, should be in the middle section, that is, in the village.
Dou Dabao listened to my analysis and shook his head again and again, "They have been here for a longer time than us, they are really lost, and the corners of that village should have been turned around a long time ago." If I were fat, I would leave the village, not take the main road, find another shortcut, and go straight to the wilderness......"
"Fat people aren't!"
I glared at him, "It's just that they're in the same situation as us, and you can expect a dead fat man who is used to smoking high-end cigars to pick up wild vegetables to eat like us?" Or do you think that Sang Lan and Da Beitou, which one is the master of the bran swallow vegetables? ”
Ji Yayun suddenly whispered something, I didn't hear it clearly, let her say it again.
Her expression was a little strange, but she raised her voice a little:
"Two years ago, when I went on an outing, Lan Lan pointed to the wheat and said it was a leek."
Dou Dabao didn't know what he was aware of, and nodded vigorously, "It's still the calamity that is right, we have to go to the village to find them!" ”
……
Back in the village, the four of them looked at each other, but they all wanted to talk and stopped.
In the end, Lin Tong had the courage to express his opinion in front of me, the 'junior brother':
"The sky has not changed, but the village, though dilapidated, seems to be ...... It seems to be a little more 'new' than when we came here before. ”
Dou Dabao squatted on the side of the road and pulled out a grass root, turned around and shook it in front of my eyes, put the grass root in his mouth, chewed it and asked:
"Shall we go to the river again?"
"Don't!"
"Don't go!"
Ji Yayun and Lin Tong reacted surprisingly consistently.
"If we want to go to the river again, once we turn back, it's still the same way we used to, do we have to go again?" I squinted at Dou Dabao, and pulled the grass root off his mouth and threw it away, "Don't be so rough in your mouth, do you know if this thing is poisonous or not?" ”
"Tsk, this is Maogen, the most common in the countryside, don't say you haven't eaten it!"
"I've eaten! But I haven't eaten the grass root here, and I don't dare to eat it! ”
I spoke a little impulsively, and Dou Dabao didn't dare to say anything. I pressed his shoulder and asked:
"If you've been hungry for so many days, where are you going to go first when you come back here?"
Dou Dabao looked left and right, and pointed to the highest roof in the continuous ruined houses: "That should be a big local family, even if it is deserted, there may be dried fish and dried meat or something." ”
"That's not going yet!"
In order to alleviate fatigue and irritability, we walked and talked nonsense, entered the village, and came to the house that Dou Dabao pointed out earlier, and when we looked at the door, we were all a little disappointed.
This is definitely a high-ranking family, and it is relatively intact, but at a glance, this is not an ordinary house. Although there is no plaque on the door, it can be seen that this is a building that resembles an ancestral hall or temple.
Seeing that the weeds in the inner courtyard of the gate were up to their knees, and it was lifeless again, both women were a little stunned.
Ji Yayun couldn't help but say, "I know Lan Lan's character, she would never come to such a place."
Although I noticed something strange, I agreed with her and immediately said to look elsewhere.
I didn't know that I had just turned around and walked not far away, and suddenly, I felt a feeling of stuffiness in my heart, and I didn't hold back, but I actually covered my stomach and vomited.
The key is not just food scraps and alcohol, but red blood.
Ji Yayun and the others were shocked, and Dou Dabao even took out the Yunnan Baiyao he was carrying, saying that the insurance inside could temporarily stop the stomach bleeding.
He seems to have a point, after all, I still haven't closed my eyes, and I've drunk all those drinks.
But after a little relief, I didn't take the white medicine, but turned my head and ran back, "Sang Lan is here!" ”
The first contact with Sang Lan was because Ji Yayun was 'evil'.
Later, because of the corpse oil, there was a special feeling between me and Sang Lan.
This kind of sensation does not occur often, but as a medical student, you can best distinguish the difference in physical sensation.
I hurried back to the temple-like building, wading through the grass across the courtyard to the main hall, but the gate was locked.
Dou Dabao immediately turned out a screwdriver and wanted to pick the lock.
I hurriedly stopped him, "Don't mess around, I don't know if it's an ancestral hall or a temple here, forcibly breaking the lock here is equivalent to a robbery with open fire, it's going to ...... It's bad after all. ”
"When has this been, do you still care about this?" Dou Dabao said anxiously.
I reluctantly said, "If you do a line, you have to abide by the rules of a line." ”
As he spoke, he popped a reed out of his finger, pinched the padlock, and tried to poke it in.
Lin Tong laughed, "Isn't this self-deception? What's the difference between this and picking a lock? ”
As I tried it, I said, "The difference is great, but in modern law, can burglary be the same as burglary?" Furthermore, there is an unwritten rule, or 'faith', in the outer eight lines, that is, God bless thieves and robbers. There is still a way back for thieves and thieves, and robbers will inevitably kill and kill when they encounter the victim, and it is really an unforgivable crime......"
There was a "click" between the words, and the lock spring popped open.
I hurriedly pushed the door into the house, only to see a clay fetal statue enshrined high in the main hall, and there were golden boys and girls standing on both sides. The mud tire has long been mottled and does not distinguish its appearance, revealing the true color of the mud embryo. But if you look closely, there is still some solemn meaning.
Dou Dabao circled around the clay sculpture for a week, shook his head at me, "No one...... Truth be told, there's no way anyone can be right? The locks are rusty, and there's no back door here, so who else can get in but us? ”
Before he could finish speaking, I abruptly interrupted him and said, "Sang Lan must have been here!" ”
