Chapter 154: The "Island" of Human Nature

Two hours later, I untied Jia Yanwen's blindfold.

Now, all she had in front of her was a wooden chest and a bonfire.

A bonfire with the smell of barbecue.

She paused for a moment before asking, "What is this?" ”

I said, "There is no coffin in the house, so I made do with a wooden box first, I searched for a long time in the old house, and finally found a box that was suitable for Huihui's size, and he would sleep comfortably in it." It burned the rotten flesh, and when it was burned, the evil spirit was destroyed, and it could no longer come out to harm anyone. After the operation, I separated the child's soul from the evil spirit, and you can rest assured that he will no longer be entangled by evil spirits in the future, and he can be reincarnated in peace. ”

Jia Yanwen breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

She stood up and tried to open the wooden box to check on the child's body, but I took her hand.

She looked at me quizzically.

I said, "The child's back has been dug into a big hole, it's not very good-looking, and I'm afraid you won't be able to stand it." ”

After hearing this, she hesitated for a moment, and finally withdrew her hand, covered her face and choked up, and then turned around.

After a while, after she cleaned up her mood, she raised her head to prevent the tears from falling again, and said to me: "Wu Shen, let's clean up and leave the old mansion later." I want to leave this terrible place with my children. I want to send him to a place where there is no harm anymore. ”

"Okay."

But we drove out and drove around the dense jungle for an hour, always going around and back to where we were.

As I expected, this forest was enchanted, and once we entered, it was like a ghost hitting a wall, and we kept returning to square oneβ€”we were really trapped and couldn't get out.

It's just that I didn't tell Jia Yanwen what I said, but took her around for an hour, so that she could verify our current situation with her own eyes!

Slowly, she finally noticed the strangeness of this forest, and her face gradually became uneasy: "Wu Shen, what's going on?" This is a place I used to walk in when I was a child, why is it different from what I remember now? When I brought you here yesterday, I still walked this road, we just walked it! Why, why is it different from the past? ”

I said calmly, "I'm evil." ”

"Then is there any way you can break this evil?"

I said, "If it was before, maybe I had a way, but now that I have lost yang energy, I can't cast spells as much as before, so I can't." ”

With that, I had already reversed the car and was ready to go back to the old house.

Jia Yanwen asked nervously, "What should I do then?" Is there any way to replenish your yang energy? ”

"Not yet."

I had already turned the car around, and watching her chant "what to do" repeatedly, I calmly told her: "Now we can't get out of this place, either it's the maze of that female ghost, or your husband Xu Hongyi did it, anyway, there must be the credit of one of them." Now we are in the light, and they are hiding in the shadows. I don't know exactly what they're trying to do, but if they're premeditated, it means that sooner or later they'll not be able to hide their fox tails and jump out to trouble us. As soon as they show up, we have a chance to catch them. As long as we catch the one who performs this maze technique, we will be able to leave this place without any problems. ”

"Hmm." She nodded vigorously, her expression reassuring.

She said softly: "Wu Shen, being with you is just to make people feel so relieved, as if no matter what happens, you will arrange it properly." ”

I said "um": "I know, you have said it, the same thing, no need to repeat it." ”

"Hmm." She nodded, a happy smile, and seemed reassured.

I glanced at her and saw that she was not discolored, so I didn't say anything and drove back to the old house.

*

This old mansion surrounded by jungle didn't feel like much at first, but after a long time, it became an "isolated island".

At first, I thought it was relatively simple, I thought that I just had to be patient enough and wait for them to show up, so that I knew what to do next.

However, the reality is not so simple.

They did not show up.

The female ghost who pinched my chin and said she was going to me has never passed by even half a ghost!

Jia Yanwen and I live alone in this huge old mansion, and after a short time, I feel that this kind of "dead silence" is more terrifying than ghost haunting! More serious!

For example, there is no food in the refrigerator in the kitchen.

Another example is that the water has stopped.

Not long after, the electricity went out.

We can't get out of this enchanted forest, and what awaits us is not an enemy who will haunt us at any time, but a desperate situation!

When I realized that our food was no longer sufficient, I began to vaguely guess what Xu Hongyi and the ghost were for, and after the water and electricity were stopped, I was even more sure of the suspicion in my heart!

Ever since I was a child, Master has said something to me, saying, "What is more terrible than a ghost is the human heart."

When a person is in a desperate situation, without food and water, human nature emerges.

I recently read a story about a deserted island.

The story of this desert island is not Robinson, but another interesting story.

One day, a man and his friend traveled to an island, and after eating a piece of seagull meat at an island hotel, he killed his friend and then committed suicide.

The answer is unexpected:

In fact, this island was a desert island many years ago, and this man and his friends and lovers were stranded on this desert island because of a shipwreck. Because there was no food, the three of them starved and survived. One day, he discovers that his girlfriend is missing and asks his friend. His friend said with a gloomy face that his girlfriend had fallen into the sea and was swept away by the undercurrent, and said that he was afraid that he would be sad, so he kept it a secret from him.

A few more days later, when he was almost starving to death, his friend brought him some meat, told him it was seagull meat, motioned for him to eat it, he did not suspect his friend, and they were saved.

Many years later, he came to the island again, accompanied by the friend who had been in trouble with him. At this time, the desert island has become a tourist attraction, and because of nostalgia and gratitude, he made a plate of seagull meat that saved his life to eat, but found that the taste was very different from what he used to eat.

At that moment, he understood everything, what kind of seagull meat he was eating at that time, but his girlfriend's meat, the woman who was more important than his own life, the meat of the woman he loved most in his life. So he killed his friend and then committed suicide in grief.

- So, what happens when people fall into a "desert island"?

After entering the status quo for the sake of basic survival, people will take off the appearance of civilization and restore their truest face, that is, "human nature"!

No matter how much civilized education I received in the outside world, those educations would become the most useless thing in the current isolated environment!

All moral restraints don't work here, and no matter what we do, no third person will know!

If no one knows, no one will condemn our actions!

Everything doesn't work here anymore!

In a state of hunger and thirst, Jia Yanwen's humanity and I will be exposed!

Are the two ghosts watching in the shadows waiting for this dramatic scene?

Otherwise, wouldn't it be better if they just jumped out and killed us?

From time to time, I still pop out of the old mansion and say to me when the ghost crawls on me.

She said, "You are his precious apprentice, and it is worse to break you than to kill him!"

At the time, I didn't think about what it meant to "break".

Now that I think about it, it turns out that "breaking" has this deep meaning!

They don't kill me.

But it will make my life worse than death!

Or, let me live, and live like a man like a man, and a ghost like a ghost!

What happens when there is no food, not a drop of water, only a man and a woman?
