Chen Meiyu shouted: "Brother Li, help catch my father!" ”

Chen Jian knelt on the ground like a fool, grabbing the soup on the ground with both hands and sending it to his mouth. Li Damin was so tired that he was panting, and then he barely got up, hugged Chen Jian with a leap, and threw him to the ground.

Li Damin scolded: "I said that you can't stop." ”

Chen Jian wanted to get up, his eyes were red, and he looked at the puddle of soup, just like an old sow who had been hungry for many days, humming and chirping in his mouth and making strange sounds. Li Damin was tired and dry, and he was also anxious, so he picked up the soup pot that fell next to him and smashed it on the back of Chen Jian's head, Chen Jian didn't hum, and fainted directly.

Chen Meiyu came over and pulled him away, "What are you doing?!" ”

"What can I do?" Li Damin was tired, "His strength is terrifying, I'm really tired." ”

None of us in the room were silent, Chen Meiyu silently cleaned up the soup pot and the soup spilled on the ground, Li Damin sat cross-legged on the ground, and I was next to him.

After only listening to a few "gurgling" sounds, Li Damin rubbed his stomach: "Damn, I didn't expect to know that I was hungry in this ghost place." ”

"Bear with me." I say.

Li Damin licked his lips: "No wonder Chen Jian wants to eat those things, the taste of hunger is too uncomfortable, and this taste is very fragrant, it reminds me of the feeling of eating hot pot in Chongqing." ”

At this point, he kept swallowing, and his stomach rang even louder.

Chen Meiyu came back, sat next to him and said softly: "Brother Li, all the food here can't be eaten, no matter how fragrant it is, if you eat too much, you can't go back." ”

"I know." Li Damin said: "The food in the underworld can only be eaten by the souls of the underworld, not for people." ”

The room fell silent, Chen Jian fainted on the ground, Chen Meiyu and Li Damin did not speak, and I sat quietly on the side. The only means of lighting was an oil lamp, and the flames flickered.

Li Damin suddenly said, "Shall we rest and rest, or will we start solving the puzzle now?" ”

"Let's rest." Chen Meiyu said: "You just came out of the heavy snow, you are also tired, and there is time." ”

I couldn't feel the temperature, but the atmosphere was drowsy.

I leaned against the wall and closed my eyes to recuperate, and I didn't know when I fell asleep, and when I was in a daze, I suddenly heard someone exclaim: "Where is my father?" ”

I hurriedly opened my eyes and saw that Li Damin had just woken up, and we looked at Chen Meiyu together. The girl was so alarmed that she hurried to the table and got the oil lamp, and walked up and down the room, her huge shadow cast on the wall, flickering like a ghost as the flames danced.

That's when I found out what happened, Chen Jian didn't know when he disappeared!

There were just three of us in the house, and Chen Jian was gone. Li Damin barely stood up from the ground: "Could it be that he is leaving?" When he came to the door, the door was opened, and a strong wind blew in countless snowflakes, and the wind swept in the sky outside the house, like the roar of a beast. Don't talk about going out, standing in the door for a while is like being blown by a huge blower. The wind was so strong that even a disembodied being like me could feel the uneasiness of the wind blowing.

Li Damin hurriedly closed the door, the wind and snow kept smashing on the door, and it felt like an isolated island in the midst of a raging storm.

Li Damin walked back, shook his head and said, "Definitely not outside." If your dad goes out in this weather, we'll be aware of it. ”

"Where can I go?" Chen Meiyu was puzzled.

After saying this, the eyes of the three of us fell on the stairs of the wooden house. The wooden house is a two-story structure, we are only on the first floor, and there is a second floor that we haven't been to.

Chen Meiyu asked Li Damin softly if he was resting.

Li Damin and I both know that we have enough rest, and we have to work next, and we must solve the mechanisms and puzzles in a limited time before we can get out of here.

Li Damin walked in front with an oil lamp, and Chen Meiyu and I followed.

Li Damin raised the oil lamp, and the staircase was a simple wooden product in the light, leading straight to the second floor. The top of the staircase was pitch black and the light was not bright.

Li Damin was very careful, squatted down and carefully checked the tread of the stairs, the tread was covered with thick dust, but in the dust, some footprints could be seen, obviously someone was moving, but he couldn't be sure if it was Chen Jian.

"I'll go up first." Li Damin said that he raised his foot and stepped on the pedal, making a "creaking" sound, and was about to get on again, Chen Meiyu said in the back that he was going to go together.

The three of us went up the dark staircase, and the upstairs was dark and felt very depressing. The further up you go, the darker it becomes, with only faint flames dancing.

We were so deep in darkness that we could barely see each other.

Finally came to the top, in front of him was a corridor, Li Damin illuminated the oil lamp before and after, there was only one room in the corridor, at the very end.

We made our way down the hallway, stepping on the floor with a strange "crunching" sound, and every step was a huge torture for the nerves. At the door of the house, Li Damin looked at Chen Meiyu, the girl nodded, and Li Damin flew forward and kicked the door open.

The door opened, and inside was a dwelling, empty, with no one in sight.

Li Damin looked at Chen Meiyu suspiciously, and the two glanced at each other. I don't feel good in my heart, I've been a transparent person since I came here, I don't have any other way to communicate with them except to talk, and sometimes they don't exist when I don't exist, which is a really bad feeling.

Walking into the room, Li Damin put the oil lamp on the table, looked around, wooden tables, wooden chairs, wooden beds, wooden cabinets, the whole room is about less than fifty square meters, compared to the corridor outside, it is not too dark here, with the help of light, it can almost be swept at a glance, and there is indeed no trace of Chen Jian.

This is really evil.

The wooden house has only two floors, and the structure is not very complicated.

I want to brush up on my sense of existence, and I preemptively said: "Miyu, your father won't have broken through the level and returned to the yang on his own, right?" ”

Chen Meiyu shook her head: "This is his difficulty." If he was gone, nothing in this world would exist, and we wouldn't be trapped here. And you see. She pointed upwards with her hand.

Li Damin and I looked at the same time, and there was a clock hanging on the wall of this room, and the hands on it were very strange, not clockwise, but counterclockwise.

I chuckled in my heart, this clock was exactly the same as what I had seen in the bardo realm, it was counting down.

The time to solve the difficulty is only 24 hours of bardo time.

Chen Meiyu said: "The above wall watch is counting down time, and now eight hours have passed, and we still have sixteen hours to go out from here." ”

I added, "This countdown was triggered by your dad, which means he's been gone for eight hours." ”

Li Damin frowned: "Since Uncle Chen didn't leave the wooden house, where would he be now?" ”

"There must be something we can't think of here, let's brainstorm ideas." Chen Meiyu said.

"Something is wrong, something is wrong." I said several things were wrong.

The two of them asked what was wrong.

"I have also experienced the test of the bardo realm, this should be Uncle Chen's difficulty, the test is him, why is the situation like a test for us now?" I say.

The two of them looked at each other.

Li Damin said: "I heard what you meant. Ah, I see! Has Uncle Chen already cracked the first mechanism? Now that we're in the second organ, if we want to find him, we have to find where the first one is, and it's a ring after a ring. ”

"But here, I don't find any clues or hints for the problem." I say.

Li Damin and Chen Meiyu frowned in thought.

I walked around the house and came to the window, where the glass was covered with ice and the snow was thick outside the windowsill. Through the window, you can see the wind and snow outside.

I was timid, and if it weren't for the signs I found in the woods, I am afraid that by now a few of us would have been submerged in the snow.

I suddenly remembered something, turned back to Chen Meiyu and said, "This is your father's difficulty, and this wooden house must have something to do with your father!" Think about it, did he ever live in a wooden house in the snow before? ”

Chen Meiyu sat at the table, frowning and thinking, Li Damin and I didn't bother. The current situation is very clear, Li Damin's guess should be correct, Chen Jian has cracked the first mechanism, and he has reached the second level. But the three of us don't know what this first mechanism is or where it is.

The fundamental reason is that this place does not belong to us, we don't know anything about this place, it is a test exclusive to Chen Jian. There must be certain details that he is incomparably familiar with, and we are incomparably unfamiliar.

Chen Meiyu thought for a moment and said slowly: "I remembered." ”

She told us that before she was 10 years old, it seems that once her father, Chen Jian, and a few friends went to Heilongjiang to meet and play in a remote scenic spot similar to a snow town. It was a winter, dozens of degrees below zero in Heilongjiang, and heavy snow covered the mountains, but the vacation area was a world of its own, and it was happy. Chen Meiyu was too young to go, but later heard from her father that she could watch ice sculpture exhibitions, ski, go ice fishing in the center of the lake, and have various performances such as two-person rotation at night, all in all, it was endless fun.

It was the only time she could recall that her dad could be linked to a snowstorm.
