Chapter 15 Drawing of lots

Listening to the wind in the forest, the trees that seemed to be friendly on weekdays were now stretching their claws in the dark, and the moon in the sky was half obscured by the clouds, and the shadows were too much to see. I heard a rustling sound from nowhere, and I vigilantly picked up a flashlight to shine it, but I couldn't see anything. But as soon as I put down the flashlight, the rustling sound started again, and it seemed to be right in my ears.

Wang Linshuo took a flashlight and illuminated all the places he could see, surrounded by bare trees except for snow. He reluctantly comforted me, "Maybe it's just a small animal moving under the snow, it's nothing." ”

As soon as I remembered what happened last night, my heart raced wildly, goosebumps also appeared, and I thought to myself, should I take a rope and tie everyone together tonight? So that one person will stir up, and the others will wake up. While thinking about it, I told Wang Linshuo my suggestion, he shook his head and was about to speak, but was robbed of the conversation by Brother Fan.

Brother Fan frowned and said, "I propose that everyone rest together tonight." He glanced at our puzzled looks, pointed at Wang Zhen and said, "Originally, you and your friends were supposed to squeeze one snow cave, and the five of us squeezed the other." But now there is an inner ghost in the team, if it is still arranged as it was originally arranged, it is possible that this inner ghost will coerce and lure the people around him to continue to commit crimes together. If the order is not disrupted, then those who sleep next to them are familiar comrades-in-arms and will relax their vigilance. But if the snow cave is full of unfamiliar snoring...... This can also deter the inner ghost and make him dare not do it for the time being. What do you guys think? ”

The black bear preemptively echoed: "I agree with Lao Fan's words, it's better to arrange it like this tonight." A snow cave and another vigil came in shifts to see who dared to act rashly. ”

Lao Ba echoed the black bear's words with an impassioned expression, and Xiao Zhao nodded thoughtfully. Biao Zi spread his hands and said, "It doesn't matter, anyway, Lao Tzu can fall asleep anywhere." ”

Seeing the voices of approval in the black bear team, I cried bitterly. I can basically be sure that the inner ghost is among a few of them, and I can trust the character of Wang Zhen and others. Wouldn't that throw me into the wolf's den? I'd like to talk to them tonight about what happened during the day...... The old man's shouting interrupted my distraction: "Hey, why don't you speak, and you all have sad faces, could it be that you have some special event tonight?" ”

Zhang Siyuan hurriedly waved his hand and said: "No, no, no, we just have a long reflection arc and there is a delay in receiving the message." I agree with your suggestion, what about you, Zhang Xuan? ”

He bumped me with his elbow, I quickly raised my head and nodded, Wang Linshuo and Wang Zhen also echoed Zhang Siyuan's words, only Chen Ni frowned for a long time and did not speak or move.

The eighth shouted loudly: "Hey, big girl, what do you mean by just lowering your head, don't agree......"

Before he finished his words, he was slapped by the black bear, who put away all the ferocity on his face, walked over and said softly: "I know that it is inconvenient and unaccustomed for you to follow us, I will try my best to take care of you." ”

Chen Ni reluctantly hummed from his nose, and Xiao Zhao said when he saw this: "Okay, now it's unanimously approved." But how do roommates arrange it? It will definitely not work to arrange according to the ideas of the people...... There you have it, we draw lots to decide. ”

He took out a palm-sized piece of paper and a pen from his bag, and said as he tore the strip: "I write my name on the slip of paper, fold it into the same little square in front of everyone, and put it here." Every five people decide one person to draw lots by guessing the box, and five random names are drawn, and the five names that are opened are tonight's roommate combination. ”

I want to laugh a little when I hear it, and my heart is like a game in a variety show. But if you think about it, it's only fair. For such a life-threatening event, only lottery and guessing can ensure that the inner ghost will not collude with other people.

Under the gaze of nine pairs of eyes, Xiao Zhao folded ten strips of paper of the same size in half and threw them on the ground. The five people, led by the black bear, guessed the fist first, and after four rounds, it was Biaozi who decided. He walked out with his chest puffed out to look at us, Wang Zhen squeezed out a smile, called us together, he put his arm on Wang Linshuo's shoulder and whispered: "I hope we will be angry." ”

Zhang Siyuan raised his eyebrows and shouted, "Rock-paper-scissors!" ”

After five rounds of duels, I walked out nervously. Zhang Siyuan made an exaggerated gesture of cheering behind me, and also made a gesture with a glow stick in his hand to call for me. Biaozi looked at me and smiled, "Let's do one last guess." ”

I shrugged and pulled out the scissors. Biaozi came out with a cloth, and he smiled and made a gesture: "Please." ”

I took a deep breath and grabbed five of them from the ball of paper, feeling the air around me condense as I held it. Wang Zhen stepped over to me with an arrow step, snatched two from my hands, and after tearing them roughly, the corners of his mouth instantly curled, raised his eyebrows and patted his shoulder with joy on his face: "Your luck is very good, just open it casually and see that I and Zhang Siyuan are a group." Keep watching! ”

I raised my eyebrows in disbelief, could it be that I, an African, really counterattacked today? How can this kind of good luck not be used when I buy lottery tickets. I ignored Zhang Siyuan's stupid shouting and the murmur of the black bear, and carefully opened the other three paper balls, and three big black characters jumped into view: Chen, Black, and Eight.

I sighed softly, how could the one percent possibility of the heart be in me. I held up the note and read out the words on it: "Lao Ba, Black Bear, Zhang Siyuan and Wang Zhen...... Does this Chen represent Chen Ni or Xiao Chen? ”

Xiao Chen hurriedly said: "It represents me, and I wrote the last word of my name." ”

The black bear asked for the note to read it carefully a few times, raised his head and glared at Xiao Chen quickly, and said a little unwillingly: "Then tonight's accommodation problem is solved, let's rest." ”

The crowd was in an uproar, and the sounds of chatter, laughter, and packing up were loud. Wang Zhen patted me on the shoulder with pity: "Anyway, it's just five or six hours of sleep, it's nothing." We can discuss it tomorrow. ”

Zhang Siyuan bent the corners of his mouth and squinted his eyes: "Did you see the black bear's micro-expression just now?" There was a hatred in his eyes that iron could not be made of steel. If I were Xiao Chen, I would say that Chen represents Chen Ni, and pleasing your boss is a common rule in the workplace. ”

Wang Linshuo shook his head: "He doesn't have to be so obvious, if he comes secretly, there will be a hundred ways to make Chen Ni sleep in the snow cave with him." He changed his words, lowered his head and lowered his voice, "You two must be careful of the eighth child tonight, I always feel that something is wrong with him." ”

I was surprised: "Something is wrong with the eighth? How do I feel that he is just a reckless man like a black bear, not much of a threat? But if I had to doubt someone, I would choose Biaozi. ”

Wang's eyes widened in shock, and he wanted to ask in detail, but Wang Linshuo grabbed the conversation. He squeezed out a smile and said politely: "Biaozi, we are roommates tonight, so we have to take care of it more." ”

Biao Zi smiled: "It should be you who treat me more." Brother Shuo, Brother Xuan, and the younger brother have something to ask for, I don't know if the eldest brother will agree. After receiving the two of us' eyes, he smiled embarrassedly and scratched his scalp and said, "As for me, I have a strange problem, once I am woken up at night, I can't sleep anymore." No matter how sleepy you are, you can't sleep when you close your eyes, and the thief is uncomfortable. So I would like to ask if you can let me be on the first or last shift. ”

I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, and my heart turned out to be such a simple thing, and I said very happily: "No problem, no problem." ”

When Biao Zi turned his head and walked away with a smile, Wang Linshuo grabbed the corner of my clothes and whispered, "If you doubt him, you shouldn't agree to his request." What if he was going to do something during the vigil? ”

Everyone went back to the snow cave, spread out their sleeping bags, stuffed something into their stomachs, and lay down. The eighth huddled around the black bear and discussed with him all kinds of submachine guns and pistols. I have never known much about guns and are not very interested, so I glanced at Wang Linshuo, who had closed his eyes next to me, and dragged the sleeping bag over to cover my ears.

I was woken up in a deep sleep, my eyelids seemed to be glued together, I couldn't open them, and I vaguely heard someone urging in my ear: "It's time for you to be on duty, don't fall asleep." ”

I barely hummed and rolled over to lie down for a few more minutes before getting up, but the sleeping bag, which had been impenetrable and unusually warm, was suddenly lifted from a corner, and the cold wind rushed in like a knife, hitting every pore of mine. I struggled hard with a carp, full of anger, and was about to scold the person in front of me regardless of the three, seven, twenty-one, but I heard him sneer and whisper: "Don't always doubt me, am I so much like a bad person?" ”

This sentence with a strong northeast flavor was like a heart booster straight into my heart, and in an instant my sleepiness disappeared, my ears buzzed, and I suddenly opened my swollen eyes, only to see Biaozi silently getting into his sleeping bag. I froze in place, embarrassed and panicked, and sat there for a while before putting on my padded jacket and walking out of the cave.

The silky white moonlight like milk sprinkled coldly on the snow, illuminating the already crystal white snow with a few more rays of brilliance, shining in the moonlight. The trees were tightly packed between them, the shiny strips of paper covered in ice and snow stretched and crossed uncontrollably, and the shadows of the trees were drunk in the clear light of the moonlight. As far as the eye can see, there is nothing that moves, and there is silence all around, and you can't even hear the sound of insects, which makes people's hearts hairy. I sat down at the door of the snow cave in a trembling state and looked towards the door of the other, but surprisingly did not see the night watchman.
