The door creaked open, and my heart trembled, and I immediately opened my eyes. Two tall figures stood on the lintel not far away, and a gloomy voice came from one of them: "Is that her?" Why are you so thin? Another said: "Malnourished, even I am surprised that the man would give her blood, but it saves us effort." ”

"Hmph, it's useless for you, you have been following him for so long, and you don't even dare to do it."

The man smiled bitterly: "Brother, you don't know, not only is the other party's whereabouts difficult to identify, but his ability is also very weird." You haven't seen it, but I have witnessed it with my own eyes, he entered Liusha Bay alone and not only came out alive, but also brought a person who had already lost his breath, and what was even more outrageous was that the person was alive a few days later, and became his right and left hand, called Zhou Tong. I reported the matter back, and the higher authorities ordered not to act rashly and wait for the opportunity. ”

"I think you're a ghost, and the dead can still live?"

"Brother, don't say you don't believe it, and I don't believe it either. So bring this girl back and see if the man's blood is different from the ordinary. ”

"Alright, you go get busy."

As the words fell, one of the two walked away, leaving one to stand by the door for a moment before approaching me. The light was dim, and it shone just above the man's head, so that his face was sunk in the shadows and he couldn't see his face. But his cold voice made me tremble softly: "Awake? Then get up, I have something to say to you. ”

Inexplicable fear drifted through my heart, and I sat up with my hands on my sides without hesitation. But I found that there was still a big difference in height between me and the man after I sat up, and I still had to raise my neck to look at him, and I looked down as if I had noticed it, and instantly stiffened like a fossil.

The body, arms, and palms within sight are all ...... Many times smaller. It's a child's body, to be exact!

"Raise your head!" The dark command is overhead. I looked up blankly, looking at the tall figure in front of me at a loss, only to hear him say, "From this day on, your name is A, and it is under my control." For you, there's just two words to remember: obedience. You have to obey unconditionally what I say, what I order, what you are asked to do, understand? ”

I was still stunned, but the man had raised his voice and shouted, "Do you understand, I ask? ”

Subconsciously nodded, but the other party was still dissatisfied: "Answer me loudly, I want to hear your voice." I closed my mouth and looked at him silently, silence was my only weapon, but it seemed like a joke to the other party, and the man didn't get angry anymore, but leaned over to me so that I could see him clearly. Thick eyebrows, big eyes, Chinese face, about thirty years old, sharp and cold eyes, not angry but mighty, I immediately had a lot of analysis in my mind.

I saw that after he looked at me with a look, he said slowly: "It seems that you haven't understood yet, but it doesn't matter, then let reality teach you what it means to obey." He straightened up, and as he turned his head, I suddenly opened my mouth uncontrollably: "I'm not called A, I have a name, it's called ...... Xiao Nan. ”

"Xiaonan?" He scoffed unceremoniously, "You'll know there's no need for ego here." ”

The door was slammed shut, and I was the only one left sitting inside, like falling into an ice cellar. It's not really like I've regressed to the age of ignorance, but after the initial shock, I have understood what was going on, and I have escaped into the space of painting again, and this time the horizon has returned to an earlier time.

Raise the palm of your hand and look closely, this should be the size of a three- or four-year-old child.

When I heard the conversation between the two just now, I almost immediately judged that this was after Sheng Shiyao left, but what shocked me was that I was actually captured because I had his blood in my body! In other words, their own goal was Sheng Shiyao, but after weighing the situation, they never dared to attack him easily, so they shifted their target to me who had just been saved by his exchange of blood.

My heart froze, and a certain thought uncontrollably surfaced in my mind. It's not that I spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, but that I meet Sheng Shiyao Pingshui, even if I have the grace of that meal, I will not repay the favor with blood. Then in the circumstances, the most reasonable explanation is - to divert attention. Sheng Shiyao, who was in a state of aging, was probably his weakest state, and with his acuity, it was impossible not to notice that someone was following and monitoring him in the dark, so at an appropriate time, that is, my appearance, he successfully transferred the target of this group of people to me.

It's a psychological counter-deduction, and I don't feel the anger of being betrayed, and maybe I'd do the same in that case in order to protect myself. I just felt helpless, and I went around and around, and it turned out that the person who contributed to my abduction and changed my life from then on was actually him. There is an idiom called Cheng Ye Xiao He defeated Xiao He, his blood allowed me to escape into this road of no return, which is why I met Gao Cheng and saved him at a critical time. Otherwise, I would have been two parallel lines to Gao Cheng, or I would have died of the plague.

After thinking about this, I stopped dwelling on the past and seriously thought about the current situation. But then I realized that my situation was predetermined, and what would happen next had already become a fact more than 20 years ago, and now I only saw it through the picture in my dream and entered my own vision, both as a person and as a bystander. Therefore, even if I was silent and resisting the cold and majestic man in my mind just now, it was just an act I did at that time.

That man must be the master of the first time I saw myself in my dream when I was about ten years old, and escaped into the horizon. At that time, I already had the ability to capture images from photographs, that is, the painting and shadow had already taken shape, so the root cause was in the past few years. Could it be because of Sheng Shiyao's blood? I had this thought. They have taken me captive because of this, and it is likely that they will do something to me after this day, or else the meaning of the captivity will be lost.

But what worries me is that, in my previous experience of filmmaking, either I wake up from a dream, or the image jumps by, and some key things are lost.

The door was pushed open again in contemplation, and the man was still standing outside. It seemed that it was still night, and I couldn't see his face clearly, but I could feel those particularly cold eyes staring straight at my face, and it was a long time before he spoke: "Have you learned a lesson?" ”

I was slightly stunned, not understanding the meaning of his words.

But I heard him say again: "This is the first time, I will temporarily starve you for three days to get a lesson, if there is a next time, it will not be so simple." He threw it up, and something rolled at my feet, and my eyes instinctively rolled to see that it was a dry cake. When he raised his eyes again, the man had already turned his back and coldly dropped the words: "In five minutes, I will see you outside." ”

I was losing my mind, not because of what the man had just said, but because I was sitting there in contemplation, and I was actually lying curled up on the ground, trembling and reaching for the piece of bread. It is human instinct to seek food after hunger, and I stuffed my mouth full of dry and hard bread, and thought to myself: this time the picture is different from the previous ones. Maybe time has flown by, three days is just a moment of thinking, but the trajectory has not jumped.

In less than five minutes, I stuffed a large piece of bread into my stomach, choked on my chest with no water, and crawled out of the door while pounding my chest with my fists. When I went out, I found that the sky was already bright, not at night, but because a big tree just covered half of the sky, it made the front of the house as dark as night.

The man stood under the tree, his back depressed. When he heard my movement, he turned around, and looked down at me with contempt, for I was lying on the ground in a state of embarrassment...... A dog. It's not that I want to humiliate myself, it's that when my mouth is full of hard crumbs of dry cakes, but my hands and feet are completely powerless and desperately crawling out of the door, and even at this time I don't have the strength to half-lift my body, and can only lie on the ground panting like a cow, I feel as small as me, low to the dust.

The man stepped up to me, looked at me condescendingly, raised his wrist and looked at the old-fashioned watch, and then said with a solemn face: "This time you finally listened and came out within the specified time." It's just that I'm not satisfied with your posture now, stand up! ”

As soon as I gave the order, I began to push my hands to the ground, but my arms were shaking, and I still fell back to the ground after several attempts. The man in the afterglow didn't have the slightest intention of helping, just watched coldly. I don't know how many times I fell, but I finally got up from the ground, and even though my feet trembled like a sieve, I stood up straight with a stubborn face.

The corners of the man's mouth hooked suspiciously mockingly, and he raised his wrist again and looked at his watch, "It will take an hour and thirteen minutes, and this time will be deducted from tomorrow morning." Now I'm going to see you here at five o'clock in the morning, and I'm going to go around the field a minute late, there's no clock to give you a hint, it's all up to you. My first lesson for you is called time. ”

I don't know if I understood what that meant when I was a toddler, and I was angry when I heard it. Without any time measurement tool, how do you ask a four-year-old child to tell when it's 5 a.m.? In addition, he said that it took me an hour and thirteen minutes to get up from the ground just now, and that if I had to deduct it tomorrow, it would mean that I would have to get here at 3:47 tomorrow.

Before the aftermath, I had foreseen the bleakness.

Because I'm painting in a dream, I don't really reinterpret the past, but the feelings are real. Exhausted and collapsed on the bed, he opened his eyes in a daze, got up in a panic, stumbled out the door, his heart was half cold, and the man was already standing there. Although it was as dark as ink, he also said cruelly: "It's not too late, it's four o'clock, and I'm thirteen minutes late." Go ahead. ”

I stood still, and he sneered: "One more minute is one more lap, more than twenty laps, you don't have to eat today." "For a child, the most realistic impression is still food, and I walked on my heavy legs in less than two minutes. <
