An Lingxian dragged her father's body outside the door, then returned and dragged her mother's body out as well. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Liu Tong's fear and shock were equally intense.
Who is this An Lingxian?
She suddenly thought of what Shi Yuan said before.
An Lingxian is likely to be related to the mission.
Liu Tong's mind began to work rapidly.
Task-related? When I first heard this, I didn't think much about it, thinking that it was the next task. But now that I think about it, it shouldn't be like that. Perhaps, Shi Yuan refers to the fact that An Lingxian is related to the mission many years ago, that is to say, after she was transferred here more than ten years ago, she immediately started the mission, just like Xue Songgang and them. However, if it was a previous mission, how many times did she complete it? Speaking of which, we should have a number of tasks to work on now, right? It can't go on forever, right? So did this An Lingxian complete all the tasks of the year, and then returned to an ordinary life? Because, judging from Shi Yuan's description just now, she seems to live a very ordinary life, and she usually goes to the mountains to dig wild vegetables. However, there is also a problem, that is, how can she stay in this strange village after completing all her tasks? This is so counterintuitive. So, speaking of which, the biggest possibility is ...... She's still on a mission, right? And the reason why she seems to be living an ordinary life is because she doesn't want to show that she is performing these strange tasks. After all, none of us would deliberately show what we were going through to other villagers. But, on the other hand, if this village had been carrying this terrible mission for many years, there would have been no one here for a long time, right? What is the truth?
Liu Tong thought as he looked at An Lingxian and the two dried corpses on the ground with a mixture of doubt and disbelief.
"Daddy...... Mommy ......"
An Lingxian sat paralyzed on the ground, and the bravery and determination just now had disappeared. Facing the corpses of her parents, she returned to the appearance of an ordinary woman. She covered her face with her hands and cried with grief.
"Sister Ann! Sister Ann! Let's get out of here, it's too dangerous! ”
Liu Tong looked at the humanoid objects behind him that were constantly approaching them like dolls and children, and his expression was shocked. She knew that An Lingxian was in great pain now, but it was still important to save her life.
An Lingxian finally put her hand down, looked at the dried corpse on the ground with a somewhat dull gaze, and said vaguely: "But, they ...... My dad and mom ...... What to do......"
"I'll help you, we'll put theirs ...... Take them down the hill and then say, okay? ”
Liu Tong was so anxious that his forehead was full of sweat, seeing that An Lingxian was still a little dazed, and he couldn't care about it so much, he pulled her up from the ground, and forcibly put An Lingxian's father's body on An Lingxian's back, picked up her mother's corpse himself, pulled her wrist, and ran down the mountain without looking back.
Hearing the sound of footsteps behind him, Liu Tong relaxed slightly and quickly ran in the direction of the residential area. She had already used her mobile phone to inform Shi Yuan and them, and it was estimated that they had already descended the mountain first.
Liu Tong looked back from time to time, and saw that although An Lingxian was still in a trance, her steps were not slow, and she finally put her mind at ease.
In her perceptual domain, the humanoid objects did not catch up, but moved in the opposite direction. Liu Tong feels that they are "returning" to Ant Lake.
Suddenly, Liu Tong felt as if something was struggling with her back. I was so anxious and scared just now that I didn't feel it. She hesitated for a moment, and continued to run forward, until she was not far from the door of Royasen's house before she lowered the body and laid it flat on the ground.
She tried not to look at the face that had long been deformed, but cast her eyes on An Lingxian's mother's jacket pocket. There is a very pronounced square protrusion in there, most likely a box.
Liu Tong's eyes widened instantly.
Box? Box? Small box? Isn't that the words on the back of the page?
Liu Tong looked at An Lingxian, she had also come to Liu Tong's side, put down her father's body, and sat on the ground again.
"Sister An, this ...... Is it something you have in your house? Liu Tong pointed to the square suspicious object and said.
An Lingxian didn't speak, glanced blankly, and shook her head.
Liu Tong pursed his lips and said cautiously, "Then I'...... Can you take it out and take a look? ”
An Lingxian still didn't speak, and nodded.
Liu Tong exhaled, as if to exhale all the tension in his chest. She bowed to the corpse for a moment, then carefully removed the square object from her pocket.
Sure enough, it was a box. The box was pure black, with some indescribable stripes carved on it, and when carefully discerned, it looked like a mouth with fangs, but it was hidden behind a mess of lines, and it was difficult to see for a while. When she looked closely, she noticed that there seemed to be a very thin slit in the middle of the mouth.
Liu Tong suddenly felt that this mouth would "eat" something.
She gently flipped the box, and there was a noise inside, apparently containing something.
She didn't rush to open the box, but walked to the door of Royasen's house and knocked on the door.
Looking at An Lingxian's painful appearance, everyone could only sigh helplessly.
"Sister An, let's mourn and change. The most important thing at the moment is to bury the second elder. Shi Yuan said.
An Lingxian didn't look at him, and said, "Mourning...... Shun...... Change...... Quiet...... Bury...... What do you mean...... I don't understand...... I don't understand ......."
At that moment, a death knell sounded.
Liu Tong looked at An Lingxian and said, "Sister An, is your mobile phone ringing?" ”
An Lingxian said in a low voice: "I don't care about these anymore, my father and mother are dead, I ...... I don't care about anything anymore. ”
Liu Tong observed her expression and continued: "Sister An, haven't you heard such a ringtone before? ”
"Such? What kind? No. Haven't heard of it. I don't care...... I don't care about anything......"
An Lingxian's expression was still in a trance, and Liu Tong couldn't tell whether what she said was true or false for a while.
In the end, An Lingxian's parents were buried under the arrangement of Yang Fenghe, the secretary of the village committee. When the dust settled, it was only five o'clock in the afternoon. This is due to the fact that Dark Crow Ridge Village has always advocated a simple word, except for marriage and childbirth, other big and small affairs are extremely simple, and the same is true for funerals.
After helping An Lingxian deal with her parents' funeral, everyone returned to Luo Yasen's house. Luo Yasen immediately took his belongings and rushed to the entrance of the East Village alone to greet his parents outside the village. He didn't rush to discuss the text message he had just received with the others, because this time, he was not among the performers of the mission.
