Chapter II
The car was driving on an empty road, and a black shadow suddenly appeared in front of the road.
Cheng Jiyun stopped the car and got out of the car to see what it was. If you don't look at it, you don't know, this thing is really shocking. On this open ground, a deep crack, so clear, cut the whole road in half.
"Are you sure they came from here after the earthquake?" Cheng Jiyun began to be suspicious, and the middle of the fault in the road cracked a full meter away, revealing the black pressed soil. There was no sign of walking here, and the wound was still flat and sharp, like a big mouth ready to eat people.
"Right...... That's right, there's only one way out of the city. She said.
"And how did they get there?" Cheng Jiyun stood up and looked at her, "Directly spinning and jumping and flying over?" ”
"Hee-hee." She laughed again, "It's fun." ”
"Maniac!" Cheng Jiyun couldn't help but scold her again, more like she was scolding herself, why did she listen to a madman.
"After the earthquake, aftershocks came several times, maybe later."
"Aftershocks?" He sneered, "Thank you for your imagination." ”
With that, he turned back to the car and tried to start the car again, but the car couldn't get up.
"Damn!" He slapped the steering wheel angrily, "What the hell?!" ”
"Don't worry!" Instead, she came over to comfort him, "We can go around from behind!" She pointed in the other direction, through the rift zone, perhaps across the past.
Cheng Jiyun took a look, the barrenness around him had made him disheartened enough, and he felt even more tired if he had to cross another road.
"Let's try it!" Sunny seemed to be looking forward to it.
"Have you been there?"
"Nope."
"Then you're not afraid?"
"Don't be afraid!" She smiled and said, "I want to go and see, go for it!" ”
Cheng Jiyun has no strength to refute her, she can't get over here, is it possible to go back to the hospital? Now that you've come here, why don't you walk through it and see if you can escape from here.
So he got out of the car, got off the road, and went to the other end.
Sunny bounced along, not forgetting to hold her bag, which she had picked up and couldn't forget.
They walked along the rift zone, and there was always a small gap where they could cross it in one step.
All the way through the wild grass, there is a forest. The fault layer uprooted several trees and placed them on top of them, and if the trees were strong enough, they should be able to walk over them.
Cheng Jiyun tried to lift the tree, but it was quite stable.
"What are you doing?" Sunny asked.
"I'm going to go through here."
Cheng Jiyun stepped on the tree trunk as he spoke, and turned sideways to move over. To be honest, this crack is not wide, it should be easy to pass, but this crack is quite deep, and it is scary to see.
"Wait for me." Sunny also hurriedly climbed up, but he was small in the end, but he was quite agile.
"Be careful!"
Sunny was still carrying the bag as he crawled, not letting go for a moment.
Cheng Jiyun soon arrived on the other side, and when he jumped down from the tree, it was quite funny, like a game he played when he was a child. If this weren't a scar from an earthquake, the ignorant self would want to go back and forth a few more times. But I'm in my thirties, and I'm not a kid anymore.
"It's fun." When Sunny came down from the tree, he confirmed that he was still a child, "I'd like to come back a few more times." ”
"Please!" Cheng Jiyun grabbed her, "Am I in a hurry?" ”
"Okay." It's not that she's disobedient, on the contrary, she's very easy to get along with. She followed him wherever he went.
"Do you have to take so many pills on the road?" He couldn't help but ask.
"That's right." Sunny replied.
"What are you doing with so much medicine?" He said lightly, "If it's really three years, these drugs will expire and won't be used." ”
"No, it won't." She replied confidently, "It's easy to use at any time." ”
"Then take your shoulders." He continued to walk forward, "You can take it yourself, anyway." ”
Of course, Sunny took it himself, and he was quite happy to take it, so he didn't have to worry about it at all.
Crossing this ditch, through the woods in front of you, the mountains in the distance are stacked on top of each other, embracing the world in front of you, and the black and oppressive mountains are depressed, and you can't run out or get in.
There are also some houses at the bottom of the mountain, like villages, but they are lifeless.
Cheng Jiyun stood in place, looking at this strange wilderness, a little dazed.
"Look, there's a house ahead!" Sunny pointed ahead and shouted, "Let's go over and see if there's anyone!" ”
"Wait." Cheng Jiyun stopped her.
"What's wrong?"
Cheng Jiyun looked at the afterglow of the sun gradually setting in the distance, and felt a little uneasy: "There is definitely no one there." ”
"Why?"
"It's evening, there is no light and no smoke, and the lifeless must be deserted."
"Really?" Sunny pulled him, "Then let's go over, it's getting dark, let's find a place to rest!" ”
Cheng Jiyun frowned and looked at her, why is this girl not on the same point as what he cares about?
"Let's go, let's go!" Sunny dragged him forward, "You're not going to be any less daring than me, are you?" ”
"Afraid of what?" Cheng Jiyun was unhappy, "I'm also a big man." ”
"Let's go!"
The two of them slowly walked from the weedy ground to the village, Cheng Jiyun always kept a heart, although there was no one here, but who knew what terrible things would haunt?
The closer I got there, the more I felt that this place was strange, there were several large trees in front of the house, bare branches, and not a single leaf. It's not too cold in this season, and the trees show no signs of dying.
"What are you looking at, come on!" Sunny had already walked into the village in the blink of an eye, and Cheng Jiyun was still thinking about the trees.
Suddenly she screamed, one didn't pay attention, one foot actually guessed something wet, and when he raised his foot, he found that there was a pond in front of him, not much, but living water. Because they are overgrown with weeds, you can't notice their flow for a while.
What bad luck! Cheng Jiyun shook off the water on the soles of his feet, a little bit of it flowed into his shoes, and he felt the wet stickiness on the soles of his feet, which was very uncomfortable but there was no way, there were no shoes that could be replaced.
He hurriedly stepped over and walked towards the village, while carefully looking at the ground, these currents often appeared, all along the front of the house, and it was assumed that there used to be a canal to draw water, but now it was deserted after the earthquake, and the water flowed freely.
Follow Sunny into the village, only to find that there are few complete houses here, all of them are broken eaves. Piles of withered yellow grass stuck lifelessly under the wall, shivering in the wind.
What the hell is this place? Or maybe there are no ghosts anymore.
"Come on! Come on! Sunny had already walked around a corner and called out to Cheng Jiyun.
Cheng Jiyun strode up a few times and came to her side to see what it was.
"Look! There's a room and a roof! Sunny said happily.
Cheng Jiyun rolled her eyes on the spot, thinking what it was, a broken house could be happy, and she was really convinced. However, for her sake, she is so optimistic, so she can live so long.
"Come on, it's getting dark." Sunny said and walked into the house by himself, "Let's get some firewood, make a fire, and spend the night all right." ”
"Hmph." Cheng Jiyun breathed out of his nose, he is such a big man, how can he rely on such a little girl?
"Come on! Come on! Sunny almost came up and grabbed his hand, and Cheng Jiyun had already hidden his hand behind him in advance.
"Just say it, don't pull it." Cheng Jiyun turned around and looked around, "If you want to find firewood, I'll just look for it." ”
With that, he quickly walked to the other side. There is nothing else in this place, there are several dead trees, anyway, pick up some dead branches and leaves, no problem.
Soon, he took a large handful and sent it to the house.
"Wow-" When Cheng Jiyun threw these branches on the ground, he kicked up a puff of dust, making both of them cough.
"Ahem." Sunny covered his mouth and coughed a few times.
Cheng Jiyun covered his elbow slightly, and then said, "What now?" How to live? Do you drill wood for fire? ”
Sunny looked up at him, then laughed, "Hahaha, you can try!" ”
"Holy." Cheng Jiyun couldn't help but say another sentence, but there was no way, so he had to squat down and try to use the method he learned in the textbook when he was a child, and try to ignite the fire with the rubbing of his palms.
So, he tossed repeatedly, feeling that a layer of skin was about to be rubbed off in his palms, and he didn't see a spark come out. On the other side, Sunny was still looking at him expectantly, and he was almost ready to applaud the victory. As a result, Cheng Jiyun suddenly threw off the branch in his hand and shouted: "Damn! ”
He stood up, almost kicking off the pile of branches, but looking at the little child in front of him, he forgot it and calmed down.
"It's impossible to light this fire!" He muttered, and walked to the door, where the sky had slowly darkened, and the roofs had turned inky.
"Let's go, let's go" There was a sudden sound behind him, Cheng Jiyun turned around, and a lighter appeared in front of him, Sunny was fiddling, and after two hits, flames appeared, and her little face was flushed.
Then she lit a leaf, touched the branch again, and fanned it with her hand a few times, and white smoke came out. I saw that the flame began to flicker, and soon the house was lit up.
Cheng Jiyun glared at the girl, and an inexplicable anger rushed up: "Why the do you have a lighter and ask me to drill wood to make fire?!" ”
But Sunny raised his eyes and blinked innocently, "I didn't say I didn't, you said you wanted to drill wood to make fire." ”
"Me?" Cheng Ji Yunhuo didn't fight anywhere, and he wanted to punch him, but reason told him: Calm down, calm down, that's a girl, or a girl with a brain problem......
Cheng Jiyun took several breaths in a row, calming himself down, hasn't he learned to "endure" after ten years in prison?
"Hey!" Suddenly, Sunny jumped up in front of him again and said with a grin, "Let's go find some more branches!" We're going to have to stay up all night! ”
Cheng Jiyun gritted his teeth, forced himself to nod in embarrassment: "Okay, I'll go find ......"
After saying that, he walked out of the door, just in time for a good breath, with this crazy girl, I really don't know how long I can last, will the madman be contagious? I guess it really will!
After picking up handfuls of branches, Cheng Jiyunsheng asked unlovingly: "Is it okay now?" ”
"Uh-huh! Enough is enough! Sunny replied happily.
The sky outside was completely dark, and there was a cool cold wind coming in from outside the wall, and the only way to keep warm was to get close to the fire.
"Do you want to sleep?" Sunny asked.
"Don't."
"Then I'll go to sleep first!"
"How do you sleep?"
Sunny grinned and shook the bag of medicine, a mess of pill boxes and jars piled up, and then the big bag became a blanket, just enough to wrap around her little body, curled up inside.
"Good night." She said goodnight to him affectionately and closed her eyes.
Cheng Jiyun only felt uncomfortable, and he couldn't accept this ambiguity.
"What's your name?" She closed her eyes and muttered.
Cheng Jiyun glanced at her and replied, "Cheng Jiyun." ”
"Cheng Jiyun ......" she muttered, and fell asleep with a smile on her face.
Cheng Jiyun looked at the firelight, and his back behind him, how long has it been since he lived in the outside world? I can't compare myself to a little girl who can survive.
It's just, this world is really what she said, the end of the world? Or are you really abandoned?
Memories travel back to ten years ago, in the same dark room, someone turned on a table lamp, and the light was no more, no less, only shining on the table in front of him.
A man in a police uniform put down a stack of notebooks in his hand, pretended to turn a few pages, and then closed them again.
"What's your name?"
"Cheng Jiyun." He replied, but in his heart he was disdainful: he asked knowingly.
"Do you know what you've done?" He continued to ask, the light only shining into his mouth, and he spat out words one by one under the light.
"Yes." Cheng Jiyun tilted his head, "Killed." ”
The policeman leaned forward and clasped his hands in front of the table: "Did you push it?" ”
"That's what I pushed." Cheng Jiyun confessed.
"Why?"
"He pesters my girlfriend, and I can't stand it."
"Really?" The policeman lowered his hand, "Your girlfriend was on the rooftop at the time?" ”
"Hmm."
"What's your name?"
"Shi Wei."
"She's not involved?"
"What do you mean?" Cheng Jiyun's tilted head suddenly stood up, and her voice was much louder than before, "She has nothing to do with this!" ”
"Don't get excited."
"Not excited." Cheng Jiyun said on his mouth, but in fact, his heartbeat had accelerated.
"You're a college student, so you should know the law very well." The policeman's tone was still soothing, "You must know that killing someone is punishable by death." ”
"I know." Cheng Jiyun lowered his head, of course he understood.
"If ......," the policeman leaned forward again, putting his hands in front of him, "If you're just manslaughter, that's a different kind of punishment." ”
"Negligence?" Cheng Jiyun frowned.
"Do you still want to see your girlfriend?" The policeman said slowly, "Or is it better to separate yin and yang?" ”
Cheng Jiyun closed his mouth, but his eyes couldn't see the other party's expression in the dark, he only felt that he had grasped his weakness, wanted to seduce him, and made a choice, but it was by no means help.
