Han Li looked up and looked at Liang Jun.

"Liu Jiale doesn't know when he will come back, are you sure you want to waste your time listening to gossip?"

Liang Jun was stunned, "What do you mean, do you still have something serious to tell me?" ”

Her attention shifted quickly, and Han Li took a relaxed look, "I took a closer look at Zhao Yingying's handcuffs with a flashlight last night, and the totems on them looked like patterns. ”

"Pattern?"

"Well, the red one, I can't tell whether it's painted or engraved, Zhao Yingying said, the villagers generally don't need to open the iron cuffs when they take her away, the thing will be automatically opened on the day of the ceremony, I guess the iron cuffs can't be opened and the pattern has something to do with it."

Liang Jun's eyes lit up slightly.

"Is that ......possible?"

"Go to her early that day and take her out?" He spoke directly about her vision.

Liang Jun looked at him.

"Impossible, on the day of the ceremony...... That is, tomorrow, the villagers will start to prepare for the ceremony, there are many people on the side of the water prison and the eye of the spring, we are understaffed, weapons are limited, GPS cannot be used, and there is no direction to escape, if the risk of saving people is too great. ”

The two of them fell silent in unison.

Liang Jun's face was solemn, "Then you want to watch her being sacrificed again?" ”

"You don't have to look," Han Li said almost ruthlessly, "she won't die either, she'll still appear in the water prison." ”

Liang Jun didn't know what to say.

Han Li said: "We must face the reality, let's see if there is any breakthrough in Liu Jiale recently, we have to find a way to get out of here as soon as possible, otherwise everyone will die here." ”

Liang Jun lowered his head, and his voice was much quieter, "My sister is here." ”

Han Li was silent for a few seconds, "She is Liu Yuyan's child, she can foresee the future, she has abilities that are different from ordinary people, she is not as fragile as you think." ”

Liang Jun turned his face sideways and said in a low voice: "Liu Yuyan is kind to me, she was not in good health when she was alive, and she always told me to take care of Liang Ye in the future, and I promised her." ”

"Do you want to die here?"

Liang Jun's face turned pale when he was stabbed by this question.

The man didn't seem to be aware of her emotions, and analyzed calmly and objectively, "You also said that Liu Yuyan can't die later, right, since Liang Ye is from Liu Yuyan, her body is also different from ordinary people, compared to being injured and unable to protect you, she is more likely to escape here alive, and she is not a child." ”

Liang Jun didn't say a word.

"According to the time, Liang Ye arrived here earlier than us, she was also in the forest that night, she was alone, she could survive for so long without supplies, I don't think it's a big problem, let's find a way to leave and you can inquire later."

Liang Jun still didn't speak.

Han Li's eyes narrowed.

It's okay to talk about anything else, when it comes to Liang Ye, this woman's mouth is very tight.

He thought for a moment, rubbed her legs, and spoke again, "Although Liang Ye looks small, he is quite powerful, and anyone can survive in this place." ”

"Liang Ye, she-"

Liang Jun opened his mouth.

Han Li's nerves tightened.

As a result, Liang Jun said those three words, dragged the long tail and pulled it, and finally turned into a sigh.

“……”

Han Li's movements became a little heavier without paying attention, and Liang Jun gasped, "It hurts, it hurts...... You let me go! ”

Han Li paused, looked down, and really had the heart to break the leg in his palm.

Zhao Yingying's fear of Liang Ye did not seem to be fake, she said that Liang Ye would appear in the water prison every day, and he could now be 100% sure that Liang Ye must be in the village.

He wouldn't treat that little monster as some little girl who didn't know anything, that girl was not much smaller than Liang Jun, with the face and body of a twelve-year-old girl, wandering in this strange village, there must be some purpose.

But when Liang Jun tried to go back and forth, he lost patience a little, and he really didn't have the heart to make a detour with this woman.

Liang Jun's legs moved restlessly, "Let it go." ”

He came back to his senses, pulled her pants well, and said lightly: "My sister's name is Han Zhixia." ”

Liang Jun was stunned.

"My parents passed away very early, leaving Zhixia and me, Zhixia is different from me, she studies very well, very well-behaved, when she went to school, she recruited teachers to like, after I became a mercenary, she was admitted to university," he paused, "She wants to study, but our financial pressure is too great, she is working outside, I later found out that the commission for the task to go to country G is very high, so I took it, I think so Zhixia can concentrate on studying and don't have to work anymore." ”

Liang Jun listened quietly.

The man leaned back in his chair and habitually touched the lighter, fiddling it back and forth in his hand twice.

"The task is the most important thing for the mercenary, above life, the task at that time was to protect a person, this person has a special identity, there are too many people who want to kill him, because of this employer, we have two brothers who have died, and his nemesis later kidnapped all the people in the local area who have dealings with our mercenary group, including ......"

He paused for a moment before saying, "My ex-girlfriend." ”

Liang Jun pursed her lips and looked at his face carefully, "What happened later?" ”

He glanced out the window.

"My employer and my girlfriend, I could only choose one side to save at that time, and the time was limited, so I finally went to save my employer."

“……”

Liang Jun didn't know what to say.

I always feel that this person deserves to be dumped.

"The employer was very impressed, gave me 10 million, and then appointed me to be his personal bodyguard."

"What about ......," she hesitated, "what about your girlfriend?" ”

"I was saved by my teammates, and then they got married."

Liang Jun didn't know if to say something to comfort him.

He leaned back in his chair and lowered his head, obviously expressionless, but full of indescribable depression.

"I followed my employer back to China, and after Zhixia graduated, I also joined my employer's company, and then ......"

He stopped.

Liang Jun wanted to ask a little, but he didn't dare to ask.

Han Li lowered his head and was silent for a while before raising his eyes to look at her, "It would be nice if Zhixia could be like Liang Ye." ”

Liang Jun didn't understand, "Why?" ”

Han Li smiled, his gaze pointing out the car window, "Whether it's the desert or this village, Zhixia will never survive in this place alone, she has been timid since she was a child, she lives too decently, and she is also very fragile. ”

Liang Jun shook his head, "You're wrong, in fact, Liang Ye ......"

She thought for a moment, "Although Liang Ye can see the future in her dreams, she doesn't see anything good, she wasn't very bold when she was a child, probably since Liu Yuyan died, she has changed a little." ”

Han Li remained silent and said lightly, "That's also a good change, at least it makes her strong and resilient enough." ”

"Liang Ye can't be described with these words," Liang Jun frowned and disagreed, "She is still different from ordinary people, but she is not a bad person, she ......"

She paused again, "She's actually living a miserable life, you may not understand, but I know that she doesn't want those special abilities." ”

Han Li was about to ask again, but Liang Jun's expression had already changed, "Okay, don't ask, I'll go down for a walk, you didn't rest well last night, sleep for a while, I'll call you when Liu Jiale comes back." ”

He groaned for a moment and nodded.

Liang Jun's vigilance against him has just relaxed a little, and it is very likely that he will fall short if he is in a hurry.

He lowered the window, and when Liang Jun walked outside with the car, he could hear the slight footsteps, and his thoughts were far away.

He uses memories as a tool, but memories can also torment him.

After all these years, he doesn't really think back to the past.

I don't think much about the employer he saved after giving up his ex-girlfriend, I don't think about Han Zhixia telling him shyly that she had a boyfriend, and I don't think about how he made Han Zhixia go on such a catastrophic path step by step.

It's just that at this moment, in the birthplace of everything, closing his eyes, he seems to see Han Zhixia's face again.

She was calling her brother and she said she was in pain......

He touched his left hand, which had no temperature, with his right hand, and the hard and cold texture of the metal seeped into his heart little by little.

……

It was already early afternoon when Liu Jiale came back.

Han Li didn't rush to ask, he called someone to eat first.

There was not much dry food, so the atmosphere at lunch was inevitably a little awkward, and everyone looked at the only seven small nests left in the bag, and everyone's faces were not very good.

Each person took one, not as big as his fist, and chewed dryly with water.

When Han Li counted the rations, he obviously forgot to include the day of the ceremony.

It's embarrassing.

Han Li dismissed one of the things in his hand, drank from the cup, and asked Liu Jiale, "Did you ask what's wrong?" ”

Liu Jiale, Liang Jun and Li Lin were all grinding mechanically, and they all raised their heads at this time.

Liu Jiale swallowed what was in his mouth, "There used to be a plague in the village, and then it ......"

Han Li interrupted, "Don't say what we know. ”

Liu Jiale's face was a little heavy, "I have amnesia, how do I know what you all know." ”

Han Li stared at her, the two of them were frozen for a few seconds, she turned her face away, "Do you still want to listen, I asked about something about the Eye of the Spring." ”

Han Li didn't speak.

Li Lin couldn't help but said: "Jiale, don't sell it if you know, it's so grinding, when can we leave." ”

Liu Jiale glanced at Li Lin before speaking.

"The plague is a bit similar to hemorrhagic fever, the patient's seven orifices bleed, and the skin will be damaged and fall off, and the village was about to be extinct at that time, and later the villagers dreamed of the eye of the spring, and the eye of the spring implied that the villagers sacrificed, so there was a demon suppression ritual......"

Li Lin was incredulous, "They performed human sacrifice because of their dreams? Still so bloody? ”

Liu Jiale's face turned pale, he took a deep breath, and continued: "It was all the villagers who dreamed of the ceremony, not one, so everyone believed that after the sacrifice, the sick people in the village really got better, and then this tradition continued according to everyone's dreams, once a year, the sacrifices were all women." ”

Liang Jun hesitated, "The gender of the sacrifice is also a requirement of the Eye of the Spring?" ”

Liu Jiale said: "It's not gender...... The specific person who the sacrifice is is also designated by the eye of the spring. ”

"What does the eye of the fountain look like in their dreams?"

"No one remembers," Liu Jiale shook his head, "they are very sure that it was the Eye of the Spring, but they don't remember what it looks like, and the Eye of the Spring has hinted at the villagers many times through dreams." ”

Li Lin's back was cold, "So the eye of the spring...... Is it a thinking thing? Can you also manipulate people's dreams? ”

Liu Jiale said: "I don't know, no one can clearly describe what the eye of the spring looks like, it is taboo to look at the eye of the spring, I think the villagers can't find a way out, although these villagers are bound by the eye of the spring, but they are all willing, no one has ever wanted to go outside, they don't care about the people outside, what the outside world is like." ”

Han Li touched his chin and asked thoughtfully, "What about that forest, do the villagers understand?" ”

Liu Jiale was silent for two seconds before saying: "The villagers don't go into the forest, that's the territory of 'Qizi'." ”

Liang Jun asked: "What is 'Qizi'?" ”

"The purpose of the demon subjugation ceremony is to sacrifice the flesh and blood of the sacrifice to the eye of the spring, and the last step is to put the sacrifice into the spring, and fuse with the eye of the spring, and the sacrifice after being fused is called 'deed', which represents the village and the eye of the spring to reach a contract, and the eye of the spring will bless the village if it gets the 'deed'."

Li Lin was puzzled, "Isn't the sacrifice dead?" ”

"For the villagers, the sacrifice is not dead, but becomes a 'deed,'" Liu Jiale explained, "which roughly means that the sacrifice becomes part of the eye of the spring, guarding the village, and the forest is considered a piece of land reserved by the villagers for the 'deed', so they generally don't go in." ”

Li Lin remembered the strange tree people he had seen in the forest that night, and looked at Han Li, "Are those tree people Qizi?" ”

Han Li didn't answer, but looked at Liu Jiale, "What do you think?" ”

Liu Jiale's face turned a little paler at this time, and his eyes were a little evasive, "These are what I heard from the villagers, what can I be sure of." ”

Liang Jun and Han Li glanced at each other and asked Liu Jiale, "What else." ”

Liu Jiale held his chin and thought for a while, "No, what do you want to ask?" There must be no villagers in the direction of going out, they have lived here from birth to death, and they have never moved the mind to go out. ”

"What about the outsider Liang Yisheng? He went out from here. ”

Liu Jiale shook his head, "I didn't ask about this, I ...... After all, they are also outsiders, how can they tell me everything without reservation? ”

Liang Jun lowered her eyes and glanced at the remaining three nests in the bag, she didn't do anything, and the other three didn't do anything.

"I'm full."

She was holding up the ground to get up, and was held down by one hand.

Han Li took the head of the nest in his other hand and handed it to her, "You're recuperating from your injuries, eat more." ”

Liu Jiale glanced at it, lowered his head, and took one himself.

There was only one left in the bag this time, and just as Li Lin was about to speak, Han Li said, "You guys eat, that's all there is to it." ”

Liang Jun is actually not good at letting people go around with people about this kind of thing, but at this moment, she feels a little heavy when she holds the nest head in her hand, and she has not yet eaten this terrible meal.

She picked up the bag and put it back, "Let's save some food." ”

said that he looked up at Liu Jiale.

Liu Jiale took a bite of the nest head in his hand mercilessly, "Who knows if there will be a next meal." ”

Liang Jun wanted to get angry a little, and Liu Jiale said again: "Even if I stay until the next meal, I have to keep me here, otherwise who knows if you will move." ”

Liang Jun was angry and amused, "Don't forget, this nest in your hand was still brought by Han Li from the village before. ”

The atmosphere was extremely stiff and funny, and the two confronted each other for a nest.

Han Li raised his hand and pressed it lightly on Liang Jun's shoulder, "Forget it." ”

Liang Jun was unhappy, "Liu Jiale, you ......"

"I'll at least go to the village to find out the news," Liu Jiale glared at her with an unkind face, "It's not like some people who have a mouth." ”

Liang Jun suddenly became angry, and Li Lin was busy making peace, "Okay, let's say a few words, when is this coming......?"

Han Li was even more straightforward, getting up and pulling Liang Jun, "You go to the car and rest for a while." ”

Liang Jun shook off his hand, and he bent down and hugged her directly.

Liang Jun was injured, but he couldn't struggle, so he angrily hit him on the shoulder twice, and finally he was stuffed into the back seat of the car.

He also came up, and when he saw her glaring at him, he couldn't help but laugh.

"What a big deal, angry like this."

Liang Jun thought in pieces, "I just don't feel good about her, I don't have any collective consciousness at all, just thinking about myself, although Liu Jiale was timid in the past, he wasn't so selfish." ”

Han Li said, "I think she's pretty good now. ”

Liang Jun glanced at him and sneered, "Men really like this kind of bewitching slut, don't think I didn't see you two getting together outside in the middle of the night last night, getting close?" If it weren't for me and Li Lin, would you still be planning to fight in the field? ”

As if he had heard something interesting, Han Li turned his head and stared at her with interest, without speaking.

Liang Jun was stared at by him uncomfortably, turned his face away, and said anxiously: "What do you look at." ”

"I don't sleep well, I still peep in the middle of the night," Han Li laughed, "My girlfriend is a tigress, I just don't have the courage to fight in the field." ”

Liang Jun's eyes glared at his face again, "Who is the tigress?" ”

He raised his hand in surrender, "I am." ”

Liang Jun squinted arrogantly, and heard him say again: "You are almost the same, you know ...... clearly"

He paused, put down his hand close to her ear, and lowered his voice: "She brought a lot of information today, more than we have heard. ”

This posture was a little uncomfortable, and his warm breathing was stirring in his ears, but Liang Jun didn't push it away.

Although the windows were closed, it was better to be careful, and she lowered her voice in this position, "You believe what she said?" What if she made it up, she went to the village alone, and there was no one to supervise her, so maybe she would come back and deal with us directly after hiding somewhere for a while. ”

"She shouldn't have gone to the villagers, as for what she said, whether she made it up or it's really hard to say at the moment, I can only explore when I talk to her, I will confirm with Li Lin how much information we learned before Liu Jiale knows, haven't you noticed that she seems to know the village and the villagers very well......"

Perhaps because of the proximity, as soon as his voice slowed down, it revealed a bit of indescribable magnetism and demagogy.

The man's breathing could be felt on his cheeks, Liang Jun's face was a little feverish, his brain was turning slowly, and his body unconsciously shrank back, trying to escape the man's aggressive breath, but his waist suddenly tightened.

The man's arms were firmly around her waist, and this domineering and powerful movement made her face red.

"What are you doing, let me go."

I didn't dare to make too much noise, for fear of alarming Liu Jiale and Li Lin outside.

Han Li turned his face to look at her, "What are you hiding?" ”

At this moment, the tip of the nose of the two of them was close to the tip of the nose, Liang Jun couldn't breathe smoothly, and heard him say: "My girlfriend has a really big heart, I saw other women leaning on me last night, but I was also calm, so I was not afraid that I would really do something?" ”

Liang Jun panicked, and suddenly became reasonable, "Isn't this all to get a trick from her...... My boyfriend is amazing, he can get so much information in one night talk. ”

Han Li didn't move, didn't speak, just stared at her.

She raised her hand and gave a thumbs up, pretending to be affectionate, "You're awesome." ”

"But I think I'm a little at a loss, being touched by that woman."

Liang Jun endured this distance, her heart beat hard, and she smiled flatteringly, "The main thing is that you are handsome, you see, leave me, even if I am willing to sleep with her, she will not give me any information, so it still depends on you." ”

He narrowed his eyes and swept his gaze over her lips, "Then you'll have to make it up to me." ”

Liang Jun was stunned for two seconds, crossed his heart, took the initiative to hook the man's neck, and kissed him on the face.

She struggled to be natural, "That's fine......"

"It's too perfunctory."

He interrupted her, raised his hand to pinch her chin, and kissed her lips with unmistaken precision.
