Chapter 61: Waiting

The secret doesn't matter to me anymore, I just can't accept that he is missing, missing in this kind of place is equating with death, there is nothing on Brother Shen, if we don't wait for him, he will starve to death when he comes out, I know what it feels like to be abandoned, I don't want to be the one who abandons others.

Lao Huang sighed, with a helpless expression: "I'm really afraid of you, we can wait, one day at most, if he hasn't come out by this time tomorrow, we have to leave." ”

I nodded hurriedly, it's good to wait one more day, I believe that with Brother Shen's ability, one day is enough for him to come out.

We walked towards the ancestral hall, it was cold outside, but I didn't want to go inside, if we did, Brother Shen would definitely not think that we were inside, and we wouldn't be able to see him in time.

I sat down against the door, and so did Sanchi, who was halfway open, and closed the door helplessly when he saw that we were all seated.

"Osawa, I think your worries are really unnecessary."

He suddenly said, I can only smile bitterly, Brother Shen will definitely not die, if he can come out, it doesn't look like he will starve to death, he has a group of wolves that can be hunted for him, and we are much more vulnerable than him.

I remembered that when we came, he never ate with us, and he never seemed to be hungry.

Even though he is better adapted to the environment than we are, I still can't rest assured, I can only leave with peace of mind when I see him standing alive in front of me, and it doesn't matter if he abandons me again.

I felt very hungry, and the snow I ate into my stomach quickly disappeared, and I looked at Lao Huang: "How long have I been in?" ”

"Two days and one night," Lao Huang began, "I came out yesterday evening, and now it's almost the same." ”

I glanced up at the sky, the sun was already setting in the west, the temperature was rapidly decreasing, the cave had become deep and dark, and the god brother had not come out.

"You can come out from somewhere else, there must be a lot of exits here, could he have come out already?" Lao Huang asked.

"No, he'll come to us when he comes out." I'm absolutely sure.

Lao Huang sighed: "How do you know that he threw you in the hole, even if it was not his subjective intention, but he is already delirious, are you sure that he will remember us when he comes out?" ”

I was speechless, I already had in my subconscious the feeling that Brother God would no longer remember us, but I didn't want to believe it, as long as there was a glimmer of hope, I was willing to wait.

My stomach is growling, I'm hungry, but I don't want to eat, I have to save food, it's me who asked Lao Huang to wait here, I can't bother him because of this.

Lao Huang took out a bag of compressed biscuits from his bag and handed it to me: "Eat." ”

I shook my head, only to see him rudely tear open the bag and shove it into my mouth: "If you don't eat it, throw it in the lake." ”

His expression was serious, and I knew he could do what he could do, so I had to take it, nibble on it a few times, and stuff it back into my baggage.

This time, Lao Huang didn't force it again, he looked irritable, stood up and opened the door and went into the house.

Night soon came, and the sound of Lao Huang's snoring came from the house, and I wanted to sleep too, but I couldn't sleep at the thought of Brother Shen, and the snow-capped mountains opposite cast a large shadow in the lake, and I couldn't see anything.

"Boss Zhao, you can sleep."

Sanchi's gaze was determined, and he stared straight at the other side, without a hint of sleepiness in his eyes.

I shook my head, but I fell asleep unconsciously, and when I woke up, it was still dark, and Sanchi was still sitting upright, with beads in his hand.

Lao Huang's snoring had not stopped, and I felt that my spirit had recovered a lot, so I straightened up a little and continued to stare at it.

Until the sunlight was projected into the valley and the snow-capped mountains on the opposite side suddenly lit up, Brother Shen still did not come out.

I was getting more and more restless, more and more agitated, Sanchi was still silent, but the gap between his beads was no longer even, he must have been in a hurry, but it didn't show it on his face.

Lao Huang slept and seemed to be in good spirits, he sat down and waited with us again, his expression was calm, and he didn't complain.

We ate something, but it was very little, and the day passed quickly, and the sun was setting, and Brother Shen still didn't show up.

I was really a little panicked, Lao Huang packed up his baggage and came over to pull me: "Let's go." ”

I grabbed Lao Huang and pleaded in a suppressed voice: "Would you like to wait another day?" He's definitely coming out! ”

"No, we can't hold on to this little food in the Lama Temple!" Lao Huang refused without hesitation, his strength was very strong, and he pulled me up at once.

"Lao Huang!" I cried out, "I'm begging you, I lost him, I can't go back, wait another day, just one day!" ”

"No! I don't have a head day by day, I don't want to die, go now! ”

For the first time, I felt that Lao Huang was so unkind, I felt that my nose was very sour, my brain was very messy, and I somehow blurted out: "We can eat fish from the lake!" ”

Lao Huang's expression was changing rapidly, and he looked very angry: "I think you're crazy!" ”

I'm really crazy, if Brother Shen dies without our answer, I will definitely go crazy, I have eaten dead human flesh fish, and those villagers have also eaten for more than 2,000 years.

I don't know why I have such a terrifying thought, I looked at Lao Huang: "How many people die in the rivers, lakes and seas every year, aren't we eating the same?" ”

"Daze!" Lao Huang slammed me down, "Do you know what you're talking about!" Isn't it just fish, we can eat it, but what about eating it? We'll never go back! ”

I suddenly woke up, I understood what Lao Huang meant, we ate that fish and were no different from these villagers, can we really integrate into normal society with peace of mind at that time?

I was suddenly disgusted, I felt like a perverted murderer, but I really didn't want to give up, I always had the face of Brother God in front of my eyes, and I saw him struggling in the dark.

"I'll stay here, you go back to the lama temple and wait, if you don't worry, you can bring back dry food." I whispered, I thought it was a good idea.

"I'll go back, you two catch fish to eat?" Lao Huang sneered, "You know that I can't give up on you, if you have to do this, it's okay for everyone to wait for death together." ”

Lao Huang said, sat down with his ass, his face was full of indifference, but my heart felt like I had been poked a few holes, and it hurt uncomfortably.

Lao Huang knows my weakness better than anyone else, I can not care about my own life, but I value my friend's life more than anything else, as long as he threatens me with himself, I will take the initiative to jump into it even if I know that it is a fire pit.

Lao Huang is a person who does what he says, he is so stubborn, he says that if he wants to die, he must wait for death, even if I stuff food into his mouth, he will not swallow it.

I finally compromised: "Lao Huang, I'll go back, I'll leave a little food to put in the hole, I can't cut off his way." ”

This is my final bottom line, I know that as long as I am willing to go, Lao Huang will definitely agree, as I expected, he nodded happily.

I hesitated for a moment, and chose the latter between compressed biscuits and beef, and I felt weak in my heart and couldn't help but go to see Lao Huang, but he didn't say anything, and I didn't feel afraid of Skull Lake, so I got into the boat with one foot.

Sanji also jumped in, and he looked like he was going home: "I'll go in and find him." ”

"Damn, it's crazy!" Lao Huang also jumped into the boat, and he pulled Sanji tightly, "Can you clear your mind!" You just don't believe in your God? I ask you, does God die? Where is God going, and who are we to interfere with? Who do you think you are?! ”

Sanji was stunned, I suddenly wanted to laugh, Lao Huang's ability to fool people is still so strong, for Sanji, his words are critical hits.

"God will not die, how can God die." Sanji muttered.

"That's it, put the dry food and leave!"

Sanji stopped talking, it seemed that he had given up his plan to go down, in fact, having faith in his heart may not be a good thing, just look at how hard Lao Huang persuaded me.

The boat swayed to the other side, and I was not at all afraid of the hair monsters, so I rushed into the hole and put the bag of compressed beef next to the knot.

I looked into the cave, there was no god brother, no fluorescence of those monsters, it was quiet, just like when we first arrived.

I really didn't want to leave the entrance of the cave, Sanji also turned around three times in one step, Lao Huang pulled us left and right, and pushed us onto the boat.

I feel like kindergarten children, looking at Lao Huang's vicissitudes of life, I know how worried we are to take care of us.

It's very troublesome for us to go back, without Brother Shen to lead the way, even if there are footprints to follow, Brother Shen has not stepped on the solid places in the past There are footprints left, these days the sun is shining, once the snow melts, it is impossible to tell where it is safe.

We only know the path, we can't guarantee safety, Lao Huang and I have lost all our sapper shovels in the hole, we have to find some suitable tools.

We went into the building and rummaged around, saying that it was strange that these villagers should have some tools to build houses and tables, but we didn't find anything, so we had to remove the legs of the tables and chairs, Lao Huang and I each took two longer ones to use as trekking poles, and Sanji packed some short sticks, and we were seriously short of fuel, so we had to replenish them in this way.

We got back on the road, following the original footprints all the way to the lama temple, and I looked back frequently in the valley, hoping to see the god brother at the moment of turning back, but the reality was never satisfactory.

As we got farther and farther away from the village, the sparkling lake had completely disappeared from view, and the snow-capped mountains around the lake had blurred, gradually merging with the vast mountains.

My heart is empty, four people when I go, three when I come back, this is the most unacceptable ending for me, I think anyone can die, but I didn't expect it to be Brother God, he is obviously the most powerful one.

The pessimism filled my heart, and I wanted to cry, I didn't think that Brother Shen would die, but reality gave me a slap in the face, and I forced myself to think on the bright side, he might have escaped a long time ago, and now he is waiting for us in the lama temple.
