Chapter 17: The Child
At half past ten, Royasin opened the door of this room again and said, "Everyone is ready to sleep." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoYou can sleep in this room, you can leave if you don't want to, or that sentence, no one forces you. Tomorrow morning we will leave for Haiyuan, you have to go with us, you have no choice at this point. ”
With that, Luo Yasen left again.
Cai Jiao sat on the floor in a daze, her eyes hollow and her lips chapped.
She didn't turn on the light, and she didn't feel like she even had the strength to stand up.
Her husband's corpse kept shaking in front of her eyes, and the bloody and brutal scene made her heart twitch for a while, and the blood stains on her eyes made her almost lose her mind. She clutched at her hair and cried silently.
The night is getting thicker and thicker. There is no light, no sound. Everyone else seems to have fallen asleep.
Suddenly, she jerked up from the ground and looked around in a panic.
There was nothing in this room except for the bed and bookshelves, and she looked at it for a while, seeming a little disappointed. Immediately, she ran to the window, opened it, and looked out.
It's just the second floor, it's not very high.
She looked at the ground below, which didn't seem far away.
She shook her head and walked out of the room.
The corridor was a thick black that could not be dissolved, and it was not even clear that it was a long and narrow space, up and down, left and right, and it was completely dark as far as the eye could see.
She didn't want to alarm anyone else. Not for them, but for fear that they will ruin their plans.
She fumbled the wall to the stairs, where she made her way up to the third floor.
There is no one on the third floor for the time being, and she is the only one here.
She didn't know this, but cautiously tried to push the door.
Finally, she pushed open a door that didn't close tightly. She cautiously walked inside, looked back, and closed the door shut.
Walked to the window, opened it, and poked her head out.
Suddenly, she was agitated and froze.
On the ground below, a four- or five-year-old child was standing there, looking up at her, as if he had known she was going to do this, and had been waiting for her for a long time.
The child's raised face was as white as if it had been coated with flour, and there was not a trace of life on his face.
Cai Jiao covered her mouth and looked at the child in surprise. Since she was looking down from above, the child's body was completely invisible, as if he had only one face hanging in the air.
Why are there children running outside at such a late hour? No, no, that, is it a child?
She thought.
The child suddenly raised his hand and greeted her, still with no expression on his face. She suddenly felt a little scared.
Can't wave at him, absolutely not!
She retracted her head in panic, closed the window, and closed the curtains again.
She clutched the sides of the curtain with both hands and stood there for a moment before slowly letting go of her hand and walking out of the room.
It was still dark in the hallway. Confused for a moment, she looked to both ends, trying to discern where the stairs were.
At the end of the end to her left, there seemed to be something faintly white.
Over there, is it a staircase?
She hesitated.
Where to go?
Her head kept turning left and right.
Suddenly, she felt that the white on the left seemed to be getting clearer and clearer, and it was getting taller.
Is it wrong?
She didn't know what the white thing was, and she couldn't remember which direction the stairs were.
White stuff...... White...... White!
Her eyes widened and she couldn't help but gasp.
That's that kid's face!
She stumbled, unconsciously touched the wall with her hands, turned and ran in the opposite direction. She hurried downstairs, footsteps echoing in the quiet night.
Shi Yuan felt very tired. After turning off the lights, he quickly fell asleep.
I don't know how long later, a noise came from outside. Shi Yuan was startled, put on some clothes and turned over and got out of bed.
He ran to the door and looked out the window. At this time, Fang Yisheng also ran down from the upper floor.
"Why is it so noisy outside?" Fang Yisheng asked.
"I don't know, I'm watching."
Shi Yuan said without looking back.
Outside, people were running frantically in different directions in fear like headless flies. Behind them, a burning passenger car.
"It's on fire!" Fang Yisheng screamed, opened the door, and shouted loudly, "There is water here!" ”
No one paid attention to him, and they didn't seem to hear him at all.
Shi Yuan suddenly had a strange feeling, he felt that everything in front of him seemed to have a strange sense of distance, like watching TV. And, everything, it looks like slow motion in a movie.
No, something is wrong.
Shi Yuan looked at the people who were running around in the screams and noticed a trace of abnormality.
The shouts of the people grew quieter and quieter, and the other kept getting louder.
"Mom!" A four- or five-year-old child cried hoarsely, "Mommy! Mom! ”
The figures of people running wildly gradually disappeared, and the bus and its flames seemed to fall into another space in an instant. Not far away, a bloodied child was crying.
"Mom! Mom! ”
The child's cry was sad and miserable, and Shi Yuan felt as if his heart was being clenched.
But he didn't get impulsive about it.
The figure of the child was not far from the door, and his small body kept turning, as if looking for his mother.
The crying did not stop for a moment.
Who is this kid? Where is his mother?
Shi Yuan thought.
Suddenly, he remembered the child he had seen hiding behind a wall during the day.
It's this kid, that's right, it's him!
At this moment, a woman's scream reached Shi Yuan's ears. He followed the prestige and saw a figure struggling where the bus was on fire. Her whole body seemed to be soaked in blood, and her long hair was messy, and her hair was stained with red blood.
"Baby! My baby! Where are you? Mommy is here! The woman's cry was just as miserable.
"Huh? It's weird, aren't the two of them very close? Why don't you seem to see each other? Oops, they're crying so badly, let's bring them in. Fang Yisheng said suspiciously and anxiously.
"Don't act rashly." Shi Yuan said.
Fang Yisheng didn't insist anymore, said "oh", and continued to observe.
The woman suddenly looked in a certain direction, and then fell to the ground as if she had seen something terrible, followed by a piercing scream.
"Help! Save my child! My baby! Please, save him! Baby! Baby! Don't be afraid, Mommy's here! ”
The screams of the women and children not far away converged, and although Shi Yuan knew that the scene in front of him was not real, he still felt very unbearable.
"Mom! Mom! Don't go! Don't go! ”
The child cried and stretched out two hands in front of him, as if pulling at a human figure in the air. Soon, the invisible figure carried him away, and his cries disappeared completely.
"Kid! Child! No! Don't leave me! The woman seemed to see the child being taken away, and her screams became even more miserable.
After a while, she seemed to lose her strength, and her crying stopped abruptly, and she passed out on the ground, but she struggled and raised a bloodied hand.
"Baby...... Don't leave...... I ......" (To be continued.) )
