The two of them walked to the broken stump one after the other, in fact, Zhang Renshan always had a question in his heart, that is, according to San'er, the poison of the illusion must be eliminated from the body before it can be removed, but they didn't vomit, and no one helped them detoxify, so how did they wake up? The more Zhang Renshan thought about it, the more wrong it became, so he turned around and told San'er what he thought in his heart. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

After hearing this, San'er nodded and explained: "I was very strange about this at first, why did we wake up, and then I thought carefully about the fact that we found the ancient mirror, and then I figured out what was going on, in fact, the way we were poisoned was not to contact this ancient mirror, but we all smelled the black dye on it, I guess this black dye is made of a herb that can make people hallucinate when they smell it, but after all, it only poisons people through their sense of smell, so it doesn't last long." San'er actually has a thought in his heart that he hasn't said, that is, there must be a big secret on this ancient mirror, otherwise it is impossible to protect it in this way.

After listening to San'er's explanation, Zhang Renshan nodded and said that he felt that San'er's words were reasonable, after all, there was no other evidence to show how they were poisoned.

As they spoke, the two came to the location of the broken stump, and Zhang Renshan looked up to see that there was still any shadow of the demon tree, and it was still the broken stump that seemed to have been cut by a sharp weapon and remained in place. San'er looked around again and said, "That's right, the two of us have fallen for this psychedelic poison."

Zhang Renshan looked at the ancient mirror in San'er's hand, and thought to himself: "Fortunately, the thing on it is not fatal, otherwise San'er and I would have died today."

San'er saw Zhang Renshan staring at him and didn't speak, thinking that he thought of something and was about to ask, only to see that the lamp in his hand suddenly began to flicker, San'er hurriedly checked the lamp and found that the candle in the lamp had burned to the bottom, only a little candle wick was still barely burning, and the flame on the candle had become very weak.

Zhang Renshan saw San'er looking at the lamp in his hand and his face was very worried, so he asked, "What's wrong, San'er?" ”

"Xian'er, I'm afraid we really have to go back, the light that Uncle Wang left us for lighting is about to go out, if there is no light, it will be really difficult to do," San'er said.

Zhang Renshan was also very anxious when he heard that the illuminated lamp was going out, and now this situation is to go or stay, he has already made up his mind in his heart, but the moment he is about to come into contact with the truth, there is a problem with this light source, if it really doesn't work, take a step back and then make plans! Zhang Renshan was just about to open his mouth to tell San'er to go back, when suddenly a flash flashed in his mind, and he thought that there should be a leftover extinguished candle from Uncle Guo and Uncle Guo in the place where Li Fang was rescued before, so he immediately changed his words: "San'er, let's go to the river where Li Fang was rescued and look for it, maybe there will be a candle that can be used."

San'er also just thought of this problem, and was about to bring it up, but Zhang Renshan took the lead, so he had to nod, so the two of them began to walk back again.

The sky was full of stars, and San'er wanted to count the hours and want to know when it would be dawn, but after such strange things, he had lost his sense of time, and he didn't know what time it was.

The two of them walked slowly, and returned to the previous river bank, Li Fang was still lying alone on the ground, San'er walked over and covered Li Fang's body with a coat, looked at it silently, and then sighed and began to search for the candle that had been extinguished before on the river bank. Zhang Renshan knew that San'er was very uncomfortable, the people in this courtyard basically knew San'er, and they stayed together every day when they looked up and didn't look down, after all, San'er's identity as a housekeeper was there!

Zhang Renshan didn't say anything and began to help San'er search together on the bank of the river, the two of them searched for a long time, and finally found the lamp that Uncle Guo brought before on the mud near the bank, turned it on and saw that the candle inside was still usable, San'er hurriedly lit the lamp he had just picked up with the candle that still had a trace of fire left in his hand.

Zhang Renshan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the new light source, so he decided to find a few more candles just in case, so he rummaged through the mud for a while, picked up four more candles, and handed them to San'er.

San'er took the candle in Zhang Renshan's hand, and put it at his feet without caring about it, sat down and sighed: "Hey! Li Fang's life is miserable! The family was originally poor and bought him to our courtyard as a janitor, but I didn't expect it to be ...... today" San'er glanced at Li Fang as he spoke. The light emitted by the candle reflected on Li Fang's pale face, which was even more miserable.

Zhang Renshan never wanted to know the life experience of the people in the courtyard, only knew that these were all servants who came to serve him, and he came and went, and now when he heard San'er say this, he realized that he was really not a fucking thing, but there was no way, he was like this since he was a child, and now he can't change it if he wants to, and now there is only San'er who can endure his stinky temper in the courtyard.

Time seemed to freeze, both of them had their own thoughts, San'er picked up the candle that Zhang Renshan gave him just now from his feet, and played with it in his hand to disperse some of the sadness in his heart.

But after a while, San'er suddenly felt that something was wrong, and he looked carefully at the three remaining candles on the ground and the one in his hand, and muttered: "One, two...... Six...... Root? ”

Zhang Renshan heard San'er not knowing what to count, so he half-squatted and lowered his body and asked, "San'er, what are you counting?" ”

"This ...... This ......" San'er was shocked for a long time and didn't speak.

"Why are you stumbling! What the hell are you trying to say? Zhang Renshan looked at San'er suspiciously.

San'er swallowed a mouthful of saliva, calmed down his emotions, and then said, "This candle is wrong!" ”

"Candles are wrong, what's wrong?" Zhang Renshan looked at San'er with a frightened face, and felt that there was something here, just waiting for San'er to explain.

"You see, when we came, everyone except you had a lamp in their hands, didn't they?" San'er looked at Zhang Renshan who was squatting beside him, Zhang Renshan nodded and said, "That's right!" What's wrong with that? ”

"That's the problem, five lamps and five candles, but now it's ......," San'er said, pointing to the candle in his hand.

Zhang Renshan was obviously in an unclear state, looked at the candle in San'er's hand and scratched his head, so he had to ask: "San'er, I really can't see anything, just talk about it!" ”

"Why don't you understand? Look! These are the four candles you just gave me" San'er picked up the three candles on the ground and put them in his hand as he spoke, and continued: "These are four, we found one before that was already used for lighting, that is the fifth, but don't forget that before we looked for a new candle, there was always a lamp for lighting, and that was the sixth candle."

After hearing this, Zhang Renshan came back to his senses and sighed: "That's right! That's six candles! ”。 、

"Then the problem is, you didn't come with a lamp when you came, so this sixth candle ...... Who is it for? San'er suddenly felt a chill in his back, and a thought welled up from the depths of his mind, could it be that in this dark night, there was a seventh person on the river bank in addition to the six of them? A creepy feeling took over his whole body, and the hand holding the candle tightened unconsciously.

But Zhang Renshan didn't care, looking at San'er's serious face, he only felt funny, and thought: "What extra candles, someone must have thrown them here." It can't be any other reason" Thinking of this, he told San'er what he thought, but was rejected by San'er.

"Tell me, then, what's going on with the extra candles?" Zhang Renshan saw that his idea was rejected by San'er, and he felt not very convinced.

"Xian'er, don't be angry first, I'll tell you why, that is, it is impossible to be thrown here, you think that when we came before, the road was full of weeds and reeds more than one person high, and there were no traces of being stepped on at all, the most important thing is that the candles we looked for on the silt just now were found on the surface of the silt, and they did not sink into the mud deeply, and you are looking at this candle, there are signs that it has just burned, even if it is according to what you said, it was left here before, Then this candle should not be on the surface of the silt, but should be stuck in the mud, even if it is left on the surface, it should have turned into a puddle of wax water a long time ago, you don't know how hot it is these days" San'er's explanation made Zhang Renshan unable to refute.

"That's right! If this candle had been thrown into this mud before, it would have been sunken into it a long time ago, it would not have been on the surface at all, and even if it happened to be left on the surface, it would have been sunburned by the summer sun a long time ago, so how did this candle come from, could it be that it is a demon again" Zhang Renshan was confused in his heart and had to ask San'er, where did this extra candle come from.

San'er saw that Zhang Renshan accepted his explanation, and hurriedly told Zhang Renshan what he thought just now, Zhang Renshan also trembled in his heart after hearing it, and then asked: "You mean...... Is there a seventh man on the bank of this river? ”

San'er nodded and then shook his head again, Zhang Renshan looked stunned and asked, "Is there any of that?" ”

"Everything just now is just my guess, the extra candle is already a fact, but I can't be sure whether the seventh person exists or not, maybe it's my guess out of thin air, but let's be careful from now on, who knows if this seventh person is good or bad!" San'er whispered to Zhang Renshan.

After listening to San'er's words, Zhang Renshan looked around carefully, on the dark bank of the river, there may be an existence with a ghost hidden in the barren grass somewhere, which is not a status quo that ordinary people can bear.
