Chapter 26: Distant Gunshots
"Ayer, are you sure it's here?" The girl sat in the car in confusion and looked around.
As far as the eye can see, there are bald black rocks and barren mountains as rough as a few trees, and the ground nearby is only waist-high grass.
Their car was parked on the road hidden in the grass that no one had walked for many years, and there was still a moon veil hanging in the gray sky, except for the occasional insect call or two echoing in the world.
"Sure." The man, known as Aya, straightened his clothes, turned off his headlights, and then got out of the car without looking back.
"If you don't believe me, stay in the car, right? However, don't turn on the lights. ”
"I ......" The girl was a little embarrassed, looked at his back curtly, and got out of the car after hesitation.
"If you knew this was the case, why bother?" Aya seemed to have eyes in the back of her head, and the girl had just noticed it.
"I ......"
"Follow me." He said no more, just handed her a handbag. "What Yanyan asked me to give you, I guess it's a girl's thing, right?"
"How did Sister Yan know I was coming here?" The girl frowned and hesitated, but Aya dragged her hand and stuffed the cloth bag into her hand.
"I'm here on a temporary basis." She pouted.
"What's so strange about that?" Aya was surprised and said, "My family is extremely smart, how can you be compared to a little girl?" ”
He tapped the girl on the head, "Let's go, don't be stupid." It's not good to get down to business. ”
"Oh." The girl squeaked and whined, muttering quietly, "But, but Sister Yanyan, why did she give me a whip?" ”
"What did she give you?" Aya in front of him stopped.
"Whip!" The little girl blinked innocently, trying to find a reason from this one.
"Hey!" But Aya waved his hand and said, "Since I sent you, there must be her reason." You just take it. ”
"Oh." The girl nodded. And said, "Then when can I see Sister Yanyan?" We've been in contact all these years by letter, and I miss her. ”
"Remember what she looked like? I guess I don't know each other, right? He scratched her nose, "When you saw me, you still called me a rascal?" ”
"It was." The girl slapped his hand, "How can you use the master as a thief and chase after him for two streets when you meet?" ”
"That time, it was my fault." Aya said in a humble heart.
"Aye, what do you say Sister Yanyan looks like?" She muttered in a low voice, "Grandma said that the eighteenth change of the female university, and the more she changes, the better she looks." The last time I saw Sister Yanyan, I was only four years old, and I don't remember what she looked like. ”
"Well, you won't see you this time." Aya was slightly sad, "Wait a minute, take the things, you will drive away first, you know?" ”
"Nope." The little girl was stubborn and ruthless, so she quit immediately. "Why are you going?
I have to follow you, I have to know if you have lost my sister Yanyan all these years. Every time I send a letter, I don't dare to send a photo, there must be a ghost. ”
"There's a ghost yarn!" Aya knocked her unceremoniously, "No wonder your grandmother called you a dead girl." Why is this mouth so broken? ”
"Hee-hee." The girl smiled heartlessly, "Brother, my good brother." ”
"That's pretty much it." Aya rolled her eyes angrily.
"Good brother." The girl shook his arm, "Can you not drive Su Su away?"
Can you bear to watch an underage child drive? What if I get into a car accident?
Moreover, how unsafe is it in the wilderness here?
Good brother, will you let Su Su follow you?
Guarantee! ”
Speaking of excitement, the girl raised her finger and swore to the sky, "I, Susu, promise, today, I will listen to ......"
Aye, who had been watching the play like a nobody, finally couldn't sit still, "This time I promised, next time I will seize the opportunity to find you Sister Yanyan to sue the black case, right?"
I said, Su Su, you half-grown little brat, where did you get so many hearty eyes? ”
"Grandma said, you do great things." Su Su pursed her lips, and the tears of grievance in her eyes were rolling. "Su Su also wants to follow you to see and see!"
"Don't." Aya waved his hand, "Just your cowardly appearance, don't follow me to make trouble."
When you get something, you can do whatever you want. ”
"Then I'm leaving, how are you going back?" She looked at the man, puzzled. "Could it be?
What important person are you waiting for here? ”
"Huh." Aya laughed twice, leaned close to her ear and whispered, "I want to see your sister Yanyan." ”
"No, then I'll have to stay." Her determination to stay was even stronger.
"You think I'm going to be so stupid to tell you this when I know you're going to stay?"
"......" The girl was silent.
After a long time, she said, "Anyway, you just want me to go, don't you?" ”
"Yes."
"I see." The girl nodded, "Grandma agreed that you brought me here, right?" ”
"Hmm." He held her in one hand, and began to pull the spider silk hanging from his head with the other hand and laughed at himself, "I, a watchdog, if I don't have the permission of the master's family, how can I dare to take you out to danger?" ”
"Why do you say you're a doorkeeper?" Su Su put away her tears and laughed heartlessly.
"Sure enough, it's a dead girl with no heart!" Aya sighed, "Look, how many hours have you been around?"
Now I only remember that your sister Yanyan was kind to you, and I forgot about me, the watchdog brother.
Tsk, it looks like next time! You don't have to collect all those weird things. ”
"Don't! Brother. She dogged and took the wood he had cleared, "You're the best."
Since I was a child, I've only been out three times, and all three times because of you. ”
"This little mouth is sweet." Aya shook her head helplessly.
After clearing the pile of wood and opening the door, he protected her in his arms, as far as possible from any danger lurking in the shadows.
"Brother." Su Su said cautiously, "Why is it so dark here?" It's not tight, it's not dark, it's cold. ”
Ever since she entered the cave, her body had begun to tremble, and if she hadn't felt the warmth on her back, she would have thought she was dead.
Because my grandmother said that when people die, the world they live in is dark and cold.
And here......
"Shhhh Aya took her hand around and tightened it again, "If you're afraid, just close your eyes and follow me." ”
"However, I can't see in the first place, so I don't need to close my eyes."
"......" Aya was speechless.
After organizing the language for a while, he said, "If something suddenly pops up, are you scared to look at it?" ”
"I'm afraid."
"So." He tried to make his tone sound as soft as possible, "Let's avoid this from happening, obediently, close your eyes." ”
"Oh."
"Hmm. Brother wants to listen to the voice, don't speak, you know? ”
The dark and secluded cave, the empty space, echoed with the footsteps of the two, like a talisman following the two of them, and in the quiet and quiet air, the sound of the heart beating could be clearly heard.
"Ah, Ah, brother, brother......" Su Su suddenly opened her eyes, her teeth creaked, she held Aya's hand tightly, and the cold sweat on her head couldn't stop bubbling out.
"How?" Aya stopped, unclear.
"I, I'm scared." Su Su's tone was filled with heavy crying, and she dragged Aya to prevent him from taking another step. "Brother, why, do you know about our family, and you know it so clearly?"
"Didn't you say that?" Aya hugged her and gently patted her on the back to soothe, "Because your sister Yanyan is extremely smart." ”
"I can't go any further." Su Su's tone was eager, with unquestionable determination and courage, "If we go on, we will all die." ”
"How do you know?" Aya laughed, "Silly boy, stop scaring yourself. I promise you'll send you back safe and sound. ”
"Really?"
"Really." Aya rubbed her head helplessly, "Say, what did you see just now?" ”
"Look, brother, you've been killed." Su Su's voice trembled a little, "It's not far ahead." ”
"Bang!" Suddenly, there was a burst of gunfire in the darkness.
The sound seemed to come from a distance, faint, but it was clear because of the silence in the cave.
"What about you?" When he found that Su Su was trembling again, Aya's head was a little bigger.
"Brother, you, you were shot and shot in the head."
