Chapter 44: Hiding the Past
On a deserted wilderness road, two half-grown children in their teens sit in a red sports car.
The girl sat in the co-pilot, her little face was flushed, and her eyes were full of resentment, "Can you hurry up?" No matter how late it is, it will be gone. β
"It's been soon." The boy glanced at her and said helplessly, "Grandpa said that you get motion sickness." β
"......" The girl glared at him, ignored it, hid her anxiety and looked at the scenery outside the window.
"Let's ......," the boy said in a milky voice, "it's nothing to do with them, is it?" β
Seeing that she was silent, he added, "They don't even know that you exist, even if you go, what can you change?" Fortune telling? Don't forget, grandpa warned you when you saved me. β
"We ran out secretly, and if something really happened, it would be difficult for grandpa to explain at that time. At most, I can only take you to see it from afar, grandpa said, we are the last hole cards. Until the last resort, it is not possible to show the cards. β
"You're noisy." The girl turned her head and looked at him with a little unkindness, and pouted dissatisfied, "I really just went to see, after all, there would be no me without them." β
"Okay, don't mess around then." The boy took a deep breath and instructed, "Uncle Mi will definitely be punished this time, you don't want to be a person again in the future, just be honest." As if having made up his mind, he added, "If you're really dizzy, go to sleep!" I know a trail, faster, but the road is not easy to walk. β
"Got it." The girl snorted coldly, wrapped her coat tightly and closed her eyes, and said, "Mother-in-law all day long, are you my brother or my mother!" β
At this moment, the car suddenly braked suddenly, and the girl opened her eyes and looked at the boy in confusion and asked, "What's wrong?" β
"I think I just hit something." The boy looked at her indifferently, his face was already blue, and the immature doll face had a deep frown, which looked very strange. "Like, a person?"
"People?" Seeing that the boy was not joking as usual, the girl's face became serious. "Are you really a human being? Go down and take a look. She unbuckled her seatbelt and ran out of the car before the boy to see what was going on.
On the ground in front of the wheels lay a boy covered in blood, in tatters, so thin that only skin and bones remained. Through that pale, bloodless face, he looked like he was only four or five years old.
"It's a little beggar." The girl crouched down, poked her hand into the tip of his nose, looked back at the boy behind her, and said nonchalantly, "Dead." β
The boy was also panicked when he heard this, but his heels were a little weak, and he stood still holding on to the car door, not daring to take another step. "So, what to do?"
The girl sneered, "Now you know that you are panicking?" Then he seemed to change his face, and his face became extremely gloomy, "It seems that the old man is right not to let me go out." Look, another one died. β
"So, what are we going to do?" He has always been unassertive in this kind of thing.
"Whew." The girl took a deep breath and looked at the cliff road beside the road, "Whose territory is this mountain?" β
"The Mo family." The boy sneered, "You want toβ"
"Yes." The girl nodded very cautiously, her eyes turned red at this moment, as if blood and tears were oozing, "That's all, isn't it?" β
"Nope." The boy didn't seem to be scared anymore, and rushed to the girl's side and knocked her to the ground, "No, you're not alone anymore." Something happened, and I can't take responsibility. β
"Huh." She stood up and snorted. She looked at the boy silently for a long time, her eyes were deep and not like a child who was not deeply involved in the world, she pointed to the cliff road on the side of the mountain road, "Push, it's good to get on the road." β
"You ......" The boy was stunned for a moment, looking at the dead child on the ground, and then at the mountain, "no one should come here, right?" β
"Yes." The girl groaned, her gaze deeper than the mountains beyond, "Let's get on our way." β
"Okay, I'll push." Looking at the girl who was already sitting in the car, he cautiously walked up to the dead child who had lost his breath, and rolled him towards the cliff on one side.
"Today's ....." He panted and looked in the direction of the girl, still a little scared in his heart.
"Don't tell anyone!"
"Including?"
"Including." The girl resolutely interrupted him, "You have to remember this place. β
"Huh?"
"It's better to remember it for a lifetime."
As she spoke, the boy saw that the hand she was sticking out of the window had obviously been cut by a sharp weapon, and blood was dripping on the ground, leaving lines of blood marks.
"You don't want to die?"
"Life?" The girl's already red misty pupils stared at him blankly, and the changes in her pupils were extremely strange, and he vaguely seemed to see two pairs of eyes staring at him.
The boy froze in place, and heard her shout, "It's not you who died, what are you afraid of?" β
"You, what just now?" He wiped the cold sweat from his face and got into the car. stared at her eyes for a long time, but he couldn't find the double pupil that Fang had just seen.
"It's fine." The girl sneered, trying to hide something. But her strange expression, sometimes frowning and sometimes sighing, made him suspicious, "Don't you remember what happened just now?" β
"It's not." She vehemently denied it, and began to look out the window with fluttering eyes.
"You haven't finished what you just said, why should I always remember this position?"
"I don't know." Now she was helpless, she shook her head and sighed faintly, "He wasn't killed by you, but he touched something that shouldn't be touched in this mountain and was targeted." β
"So, if we don't take this road today, he will all die on the territory of the Mo family?"
"Hmm." The girl slowly closed her eyes, "There may have been an accident over there, too." β
"Why?"
"Grandpa said, let me easily not go out. Because I'm going to meet someone when I go outβ" She paused, looking at the boy who was focused on driving.
"Dead people?"
"Hmm." The girl nodded, "Wasn't that how you were when I first met you?" β
"Whew."
She sighed, as if reluctant to bring it up, "That was the first time I sneaked out and brought you back from there. Because I was a person since I was a child, I wanted to find someone to play with.
Therefore, grandpa also turned a blind eye to this matter. β
"You said this is the third and last time." The boy listened quietly, rarely interjecting. Because he knows that the temper of the eldest lady next to him has always been not very good. But this time, he couldn't help it, "What about the second time?" β
"The second time, you were recuperating from your injuries, and I sneaked out to see someone. On the way, someone jumped off the building and killed two of them. As she spoke, tears welled up in the corners of her eyes, "You didn't hit the person just now, so this time, it will be them who have an accident." β
"Maybe it's just a coincidence?"
"It's not." She shook her head, "Do you know why I chose you to stay with me in the first place?" β
"Because the smell of the dead in you can wake me up."
"Why are you saying so much to me all of a sudden?" The boy finally realized that something was wrong.
"Ayer, I'm going to die." She smiled at him, the smile on her face was incomparably bright, but her figure floated out of the car window like a ghost and jumped down the cliff on the side of the mountain road.
