【004】The dark side
Jiang Rong looked around.
Zhong Kui and He Pengfei began to get busy. While cleaning up the mess in the house, I went outside to pull up the yellow weeds and lay them on the ground for sleeping at night.
Zhiqing drove the car away to the vicinity of the dilapidated building, and when he got out of the car, he could see the lonely building standing tall in a large patch of artemisia grass. He took out all the prepared items in the car, and saw a figure standing in front of the building from a distance, which should be Jiang Rong.
There are so many things to hold onto, there is food, there are sleeping bags, and so on. He couldn't take away so many things at once, so he had to dance his hands at Jiang Rong's back, "Rongrong...... Come and help. ”
It stands to reason that Zhiqing shouted with the wind, Jiang Rong should be able to hear it! But she just stood there motionless. Ignore his shouts...... At this moment, Jiang Rong, who had already gone upstairs, saw Uncle Chen below waving his hand and shouting something from the window. hurriedly said to Zhong Kui and the two of them, "Uncle Chen called me." ”
"Go ahead!" Zhong Kuitou didn't reply, and replied.
Jiang Rong went downstairs.
Zhiqing looked at that back in wonder, and suddenly saw another Jiang Rong walking out of the staircase. Suspecting that he was dazzled by a mistake, he rubbed his eyes vigorously and fixed his eyes again. There was only one Jiang Rong, looking at her with a smile, waving in response to him.
Zhiqinghu was suspicious, he was indeed not wrong just now! What's going on?
Jiang Rong trotted to his side, seeing his gaze staring at his back. When I turned around by inertia, there was nothing behind it! Turning around, "Uncle Chen, what are you looking at?" ”
"Nothing." With doubts in his heart, he slowly withdrew his gaze. secretly denied that maybe it was really a mistake just now, so he and Jiang Rong picked up a bag of things and walked towards the broken building.
Uninhabited town, very empty feeling. You can't see a single figure, but you can feel the presence of human breath. As night came, some tiny creatures in the artemisia began to move.
Earthworms, for example, look for nutrients from the dirt and leave a trail of dirt-like droppings on the ground it passes. The star-nosed mole, also known as digging for dirt, is a creature that is disgusted by peasant friends, and likes to burrow, with a high-pitched 'squeak-squeak-squeak' sound. The sense of smell is particularly sensitive, just now He Peng flew down to pull artemisia grass, and accidentally stepped on one, which frightened him to jump high, and it turned out to be a star-nosed mole.
Standing in the wind, you can look over the low woods to the side of the town...... The room was simply cleaned up, and the sound of slight sleeping breathing came and went. They all rested quietly, except for Zhong Kui, who stared at that corner of the town for a long time, which didn't attract his attention at first. But just as he was about to rest, a bright light suddenly appeared there, and the bright light shone so brightly that the sky was shining.
How can an uninhabited town have light? Could it be the same truck from before? This question tangled in his heart. I wanted to go and see them, and glanced sideways at them who were sleepy and resting in the darkness. Jiang Rong leaned on the innermost, Zhiqing belonged to the protective form and leaned on her side, and He Pengfei, a stunned boy, had to sleep outside aggrievedly.
In the darkness, it is impossible to see their faces as they sleep. Only Jiang Rong occasionally makes a dream sound, whether a girl is more delicate, in this distressed environment, she must not sleep well. watched them silently for a while, and was not alarmed, so he left decisively and quietly, and went downstairs step by step.
Walking in the uneven artemisia grass, stepping on something from time to time, the squeak of panic escape. Zhong Kui ignored it, he was very familiar with this kind of call, the mole is a thing that survives by eating grass roots. In this cold season, there should be no snakes or anything. The cold wind was like a knife blowing on the cheeks. casually pulled the neckline, but still couldn't block the invasion of the cold wind.
The streets are still deserted. In addition to the wind that swirled wantonly, under that ray of light, there was indeed a person standing, who seemed to be waiting for his arrival.
At first, Zhong Kui thought it was black and white impermanence, because this person was dressed in black clothes and had a figure as tall as him. Later, when I saw that this person was single here, it became clear that he was not black impermanence, nor was he white impermanence.
The pale blue haze obscured the man's face, making it impossible to see the expression on his face. It can only be said that his hearing is no worse than Zhong Kui.
Suddenly, he turned 180 degrees, looked at him with burning eyes, and said, "You really have the courage." Hearing the other party's faint and cold voice, Zhong Kui guessed that he was a messenger from hell.
The other party seemed to see through the thoughts in his heart at a glance, 'Ha~Ha~Ha' "I'm not a messenger of hell, I'm Zhong Kui." His laughter was empty, sounding like it was coming from all directions. You can't even take care of yourself, how can you save your friends? Save your daughter? ”
Zhong Kui? Zhong Kui was startled, suspecting that his ears were hearing wrong, "Who are you?" He stepped closer, trying to see the other man's face clearly.
"I am you, you are me." The other party seems to have set up an enchantment, and no matter what Zhong Kui thinks, he can't get closer.
"What, how can I be you, how can you be me?"
"You are not a god, you are a man. The weakness of human beings is that they have justice and the dark side (demons), they are like twin brothers, closely interdependent, but constantly contradictory. I am your dark side. ”
"What do you want to do?" Zhong Kui looked at the other party in disbelief and asked.
"I want to bet you."
"How?"
"If I win, you're going to have to be me, and you'll never come out of it if you've been suppressed for a long time. If you win, then I will continue to be your slave. ”
"What's the stake?"
"Your friends, your wife and daughter, are all your bargaining chips."
"Humph! Since you are me, you should know that I have no family. Where do you come from your wife and your children? ”
"Really?" On the dark side, a sinister smile swayed at the corners of his mouth. "And who is this man?" As he spoke, he pulled down his black cape, which looked like a curtain. Under the cloak, a panicked Jiang Rong flashed.
Seeing Jiang Rong, Zhong Kui suddenly understood. The demon had dragged her into a nightmare, and in the dream, he could see her. And she can't see herself, what tricks does the demon want to play?
Jiang Rong had a nightmare. She dreamed that it was raining in the sky. The clouds were black, as if the sky was about to fall. The manic storm almost tore off the roof. She was very scared, and there was no one else between her and her father Jiang Shuai in the dream.
Lightning and thunder roared, and the wind blew unscrupulously. She ran wildly in the rain and saw what seemed to be her home in front of her. Running in, Dad greeted her with a smile.
I vaguely felt that something bad was coming behind her, and as soon as she flashed into the door, Jiang Rong shouted inarticulately: "Dad close the door, hurry!" ”
