Chapter 22: Hell

Since talking about Lilliputians and the official family, the atmosphere in the car has become solemn, let alone us, even Qibao's talkative animal doesn't squeak.

Except for Old Man Zheng's opening from time to time to show the way, there was no other voice, and it was eerily quiet.

The rat fell asleep on my belly, and he didn't wake up halfway, and slept more soundly than anyone else.

It wasn't until about nine o'clock in the evening that Chen Qiuyan drove off the road, stopped on the side of a small road, and began to prepare dinner for us.

In the wilderness, use an alcohol lamp to cook a small hot pot, this kind of thing is estimated to be able to do it.

"Can't we dig a hole?" I asked Chen Qiuyan helplessly: "Dig an earthen stove on the ground and throw some firewood into it, isn't it more convenient than an alcohol lamp?" ”

Chen Qiuyan ignored me, gave me a blank look, turned his head and asked Chang Longxiang to dig the earthen stove, and asked Qibao to collect firewood, completely treating me as a transparent person.

Qibao saw that I was still a little confused, so he dragged me away, and said, "People are not happy with you, what are you still doing?" ”

"What's wrong with her?" I asked, confused.

"How do I know?" Qibao shrugged his shoulders, took out his cigarette and lit it, began to pick up the dead branches on the ground, and muttered to me, "Maybe she's going back, so she's not in a good mood." ”

"What's the matter with me?" I looked at Qibao in a daze: "Does this have anything to do with me?" ”

Qibao raised his head, looked at me, and asked, do you think Chen Qiuyan treats us as friends?

Hearing this question, I thought about it seriously for a while, nodded and said it should be.

"Then do you think we should treat her as friends?" Shippo asked again.

"Yes!" I nodded.

"She believed in us, but she felt as if we didn't believe her." Qibao shrugged his shoulders and smiled helplessly, as if he had already known the answer, and only then did he slowly say it: "You asked her about Lilliputia, there was a little doubt in it, she was originally a girl, and people are more sensitive, so ......."

I patted Qibao, didn't speak, and picked up firewood with him.

In many things, Chen Qiuyan really believes in us unconditionally, and has also experienced life and death with us...... Now when I ask her about Lilliputia, she seems to be a bit direct in terms of language, and she doesn't pay much attention to details.

So she's so angry...... I kind of get it!

When we finished collecting firewood and went back, Chen Qiuyan had already begun to put spices in the pot, squatting silently to the side, not even looking at us.

"You go and persuade, it's better to apologize." Qibao said quietly: "It is the most terrible thing for a woman to be angry, you have to be careful." ”

After saying that, Qibao ran to meet Chang Longxiang, and the two of them muttered and lit a fire next to them, and no one had any intention of helping.

Walking up to Chen Qiuyan, I gritted my teeth and squatted down with courage.

"Sister Chen......."

"What's wrong?" Chen Qiuyan glanced at me, the expression on her face was very calm, and there was no sense of anger.

But it is this anger, hidden in peace, that is the most terrifying.

The old man started a real fire, isn't that what he is?

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have talked to you about Lilliputia, don't be angry." I said embarrassedly, pinned my head to the side, didn't dare to look at Chen Qiuyan, my heart beat so fast.

Chen Qiuyan laughed twice, as if she didn't take this matter to heart, and said very calmly: "Just chat, don't think about it, there's nothing to be angry about." ”

"I know you're not angry, you're angry, I don't ......treat you as my own," I smiled bitterly, "I really don't think so....... If you don't believe me, I can swear a poisonous oath! ”

As soon as she heard this, Chen Qiuyan also laughed, patted me on the shoulder and said, "I know you don't think so, if you really treat me as an outsider, I can definitely feel it." ”

As she spoke, Chen Qiuyan lowered her head and looked at the soup base in the pot, her expression a little complicated.

"I was just thinking...... Government vs. People....... Mr. Guan....... Isn't it too divided? Chen Qiuyan muttered: "Or am I not deeply involved in the world, and I haven't experienced many things, so I don't know?" ”

I sighed and said that it was not to be separated, but to be divided.

"The trajectory of life, the class of society, these are all unmixed, if you don't distinguish the 38th parallel, there will be more trouble at that time." I whispered, repeating what the old man had told me: "But the current situation ..... It seems that the score is still serious at the 38th line. ”

"You know?" Chen Qiuyan was stunned.

"I don't know, but my grandfather knows." I sighed: "To put it bluntly, being divided into three or eight lines and mutual suspicion are two concepts, and the current situation belongs to the latter. ”

Chen Qiuyan was silent, did not speak, and her expression was a little ugly.

"The official family does not trust the gentleman, and the gentleman does not trust the official family, especially in some things, it is impossible to believe it at all." I scratched my head and said truthfully: "Sister Chen, it's not that I don't believe you, I don't believe the people above, you know?" ”

Chen Qiuyan didn't speak, glared at me viciously, raised her hand and pinched my ear and said, "My sister is older than you!" What else is there not to understand? I'm just not satisfied with your attitude towards me! ”

"Hey, didn't I apologize! This ......."

"Hiss!!"

At this moment, in the mountains and forests on the left, an evil sound suddenly exploded.

I couldn't have misheard the sound of a fingernail scratching a blackboard.

"What's wrong?!" Chang Longxiang stood up abruptly and looked at the forest, his expression a little nervous: "Is there a ghost coming out?!" ”

"I don't know." Qibao took a cigarette in his mouth, took off the nail of the coffin pinned to the back of his waist for self-defense, and looked at me: "Aren't you able to see ghosts?" Why don't you open your eyes and take a look? ”

By the time Shippo asked this, I had already pulled out the rush grass and threw it into my mouth.

I chewed it casually twice and swallowed it into my stomach.

It didn't take long for my eyes to feel sour, as if I had entered sand, and I couldn't help but want to rub it.

When the sourness disappeared, everything I could see lost its color in an instant.

Or is it like a black-and-white movie..... I can't see any other colors except black and white......

"Are there any ghosts?" Shippo asked me.

Hearing this, I subconsciously glanced sideways at him, and was about to say that I didn't see a ghost, and before the words came out, I swallowed it back.

"What's wrong?" Qibao held a cigarette in his mouth and looked at me suspiciously: "Did you see a ghost?" ”

I nodded quietly and glanced at Shippo's calf, only to feel a little hairy in my heart.

I don't know when it started, but Qibao squatted at his feet with two "children".

The facial features of the two children were a little blurred, as if they were covered by fog, and they didn't look real.

But the wounds on their bodies were very clear in my eyes.

The child on the left had missing pieces of flesh on his leg, which seemed to have been gnawed by the beast, and several wounds were visible, as well as a similar wound on his arm.

As for the one on the right, it is much more direct, there is no left arm, there is a pit as big as a small bowl on the right leg, and other than that, there are no other wounds on the body.

"What do you see?" Qibao saw that there was something wrong with my expression, so he asked me.

"Ghosts." I say.

"Where?! Is it our enemy?? Qibao shouted excitedly, clenched the coffin nail in his hand, and looked eager to try: "Hurry up and tell me the location!" I'm going to go over and stab it to death! ”

I looked at him hesitantly, and said to myself, I can't say if this is our enemy, but if not, it is your enemy.

The two kids looked scary, but to be honest, I didn't think they were aggressive.

When Qibao waved the coffin nails indiscriminately, they still had dodging movements, and their heads were buried vigorously, and they didn't even dare to lift their heads.

"The devil is at your feet." I said truthfully: "Two, one left and one right, tugging at your pants......"

Before I finished speaking, Qibao screamed out, hurriedly took a few steps back, and kept asking me if the ghost was gone?! Am I still being caught?!

"Hiss!!"

Another cold evil came from the depths of the mountains and forests, and I was so frightened that I was trembling.

When I looked back, I saw that the woods, which had not been in condition just now, had gone wrong without warning.

It's all people.

..... standing in the woods It's all people!!
