Chapter 33: Alone
"You're back, huh? What happened to Ayo? Seeing Su Zuoyi with Su You behind him, his cousin asked with some concern. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"I was tired of chatting with Long Yu, and I fell asleep on the way back." Su Zuo also introduced briefly, without staying too long, he directly carried Su You back to the bedroom, and the cousin who wanted to continue to ask saw this posture, so she didn't dare to say more.
Su Zuo also put Su You on the bed and covered the quilt, turned around and tightened the door, and the eyebrows that were still stretched in the last second were compacted together. On the way back, the two walked well, Su You still talked to him about his childhood memories, and he listened quietly without saying anything. Suddenly, Su You stopped, looked at the gray sky, let out a cold breath, and said, "I'm so tired", and then fell straight down, fortunately, Su Zuo's eyes were quick, so he avoided Su You from having a close contact with the earth.
"Su You? Su You? Su Zuoyi screamed a few times tentatively, Su You still didn't have any intuition, as if he was asleep, he reached out and touched Su You's forehead, Su Zuoyi's brows wrinkled tighter, and his head was hot.
Su Zuoyi took out a piece of rune paper from the inside pocket of his jacket, picked up Su You's cup on the bedside table, and there was half a cup of water in it, "just right", Su Zuoyi muttered, and then chanted an unknown spell, only to see that the rune paper spontaneously combusted into ashes, and all of it fell into the cup.
Su Zuo also picked up the unconscious Su You and poured it down.
"Why is this road so long? Brother-in-law? Uncle ......" Su You looked at the endless road in front of him, and panicked, what he said just now was too energetic, and he didn't notice the uncle at all, Su You hurriedly turned around to look around, how could there be the shadow of the uncle! Not only was there no uncle, but there was not a passerby or a car on the road more than ten meters wide! The whole world fell silent.
A thick white fog covered all the buildings, leaving only one silhouette, which eventually vanished.
"It's really an evil sect, could it be that you are lost?" Su You muttered in his heart, thinking about making a call to his uncle, took out his mobile phone and saw that there was no signal, Su You was a little tired, so he sat on the side of the road, thinking that when the fog cleared, he would take a taxi and go back.
After waiting for a long time to see the fog recede by half a point, a gust of cold wind blew, Su You shivered, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, "No, I remember the last time I encountered such a fog was ......" Su You's scalp was numb, and he didn't dare to think about it anymore.
Every time I enter a dream, I am either a big dragon or an uncle, but this time he is really the only one who is alone. "I didn't go looking for you, but you came to the door, saving me a lot of energy!" Su You sighed with relief, said to the vast white fog in front of him, got up, patted the soil on his body, pulled out the short dagger on his body, held it with his backhand, and walked forward tentatively.
I don't know how long I walked, Su You only felt that his legs were weak, his feet were swollen, and he took out his mobile phone to see that the time had not yet passed a minute, Su You sighed, and said in his heart: Sure enough, you can't use normal human time to measure everything here, so let's find an outlet.
Su You continued to walk forward, and suddenly, the fog dissipated, and looking at a familiar scene in front of him, Su You gasped.
This is not anywhere else, it is the outside of the former courtyard of Su You's grandfather's house in the countryside.
Su You grew up in his grandfather's house, and his grandfather's house didn't go often, but he still had a vague impression in his memory. When Su You was about five years old, the courtyard of his grandfather's house was all paved with cement, but now what is in front of Su You is still the loess courtyard from a long time ago.
Su You frowned, the mud of the loess courtyard when it rained on a cloudy day made Su You unforgettable, "How did you get here?" Su You was surprised, his grandmother had died before Su You was born, and his grandfather also drove west a few years after Su You was born, and this place had already been expropriated by the government, and part of the money in his bank card came from this.
The doors of the three thatched huts in the courtyard were open, and the chimneys were emitting curling smoke, and an enticing smell of rice came from inside. "Could it be that there are still people in there? Who could it be? Is it Uncle? Thinking of this, Su You was overjoyed in his heart, and immediately ran inside, "Uncle! Brother-in-law! Is that you? Are you here? ”
The lid on the pot in the kitchen is hot, and the fragrance comes from inside. The whole room was popular, but there was no one or a living thing to be seen, which couldn't help but make Su You nervous.
The three thatched huts open the door to the kitchen, followed by the master bedroom, and the innermost inner room with a cellar (a place used by the older generation in rural Northeast China to store winter vegetables). Su You searched every room, but there was no trace of anyone.
"Who the are you? What kind of hero is a hero who dares to be a man who dares not to see people? Hurry up and come out and meet me! Su You carefully checked the front and back of the house, but still didn't see anyone. There were lush vegetables in the vegetable garden behind the house, just like in his memory, and there was even a moment when Su You felt that he had traveled back in time? But for Mao, others have traveled to ancient times or other dimensions, and they have to wear to their own past? What a statement!
Su You is really a little fried this time, the dream challenges again and again, the unknown world, the strange experience, they are like chess pieces being manipulated, life and death, maybe it is just a matter of time.
Su You was tired of shouting, so he simply sat on the ground and observed the surrounding scenery. He didn't come to his grandfather's house much, and he didn't have much contact with his grandfather's family, and he didn't even know what his grandfather did. Now that the scene is set here, it must have a certain relationship with his grandfather, Su You's intestines are now repentant, and he regrets that he couldn't get in touch with his grandfather more, even if he knows a little more, it is now possible to solve his mystery and save his life!
Su You sat on the ground, looking at the surrounding scenery, and suddenly, he found a problem!
My grandfather's family lived in a small mountain village where there was no mobile signal, and there were more than 20 families living here, and the doors of the families were closed all day, and it was rare to see people in this village gathering outside to chat like other villages. At the time, I was young and didn't know what it was all about, but now that I think about it, the whole village is the biggest question.
In his memory, there were neighbors on the left and right of his grandfather's house, and the family on the left was still some relative of Su Ma. And at this moment, in addition to the lush, shading trees, there is only one house in the whole village, according to past experience, even if all the living people and living things disappear, those buildings that should have should not disappear, but at this moment, there is only one house left in the whole village, how to explain! There is only one reason, and that is that all the problems are in this three-room thatched hut!
Thinking of this, Su You stood up and looked at the strange and familiar three thatched huts again. If his guess is not wrong, this seemingly peaceful place hides the scourge of killing everywhere.
Su You held the broken water in his hand again, and walked towards the house with courage.
Maybe it's because of the old house, even though the sun outside is dazzling, the light in the house is still very dim. If you want to get out, then the exit must be in these three rooms. Su You took out his mobile phone and turned on the flashlight, and the objects in the old house became clearer.
The first thing Su You checked was not the kitchen, but the place where he remembered where his grandparents lived. The room is about 20 square meters, a kang, there is a kang cabinet for storing clothes on the kang, the kang cabinet is a place to put the quilt, the old saying is called "quilt Luozi", when Su You was a child, he was often put on it by adults to play. Then there are the three floor tables on the ground side by side against the wall, and there is nothing special on the floor table, nothing more than some daily necessities, such as teacups, pancreas (used to wash clothes when there was no washing powder in the past), etc.
Of all the objects, the only thing that caught Su You's attention was an old clock placed on the table. This old clock is the kind of powerful clock in the past, and it is made of wood as a whole, and below it is a wood carved peacock, each feather piece is carved vividly, and above the peacock's head is a clock dial. Inside the watch there are two pendulums, from which the sound of each hourly time is heard. At the back of the clock, probably at the point of the peacock's eye, there is a groove in which an iron key is placed, which is used for energy.
Could it be that this timepiece is the key?
Su You changed his phone to his right hand holding the knife, and then groped behind the bell with his left hand.
Suddenly, he touched a small iron bar, and without thinking about it, it must be the key. Before I could take a closer look, I heard the sound of a chainsaw coming from the yard.
What's the situation? Chainsaw?
didn't have time to think about it, Su You put the key in his pocket, turned off the flashlight of his mobile phone, took the water cut-off, and carefully paced out.
There was no one in the yard, but the sound was obviously coming from nearby, could it be that he was hallucinating? This idea was immediately rejected by Su You, because the sound came from the vegetable garden behind the house, and as he got closer, the sound slowly became louder.
At this time, the sun was bright and warm, the surrounding green trees were like shade, and the fragrance of flowers was overflowing, but Su You had no intention of appreciating all this.
The vegetable patch behind the house was sloping, and Su You hid behind a large pear tree downhill, quietly studying the source of the chainsaw sound.
Seeing the scene not far away, Su You was stunned. Why didn't he think that if he could set the scene here, why couldn't he add his own relatives as well? The person holding the chainsaw in the distance was none other than the father Su You saw in his dream not long ago!
Su You suddenly felt the urge to cry. He swore that he would find out who was behind the scenes and break his body into pieces! If nothing else, just rely on him to disturb his deceased ancestors again and again!
Su You looked around, quiet as a thing, nothing else.
"Dad? How did you end up here? Su You trotted over and whispered.
When Dad Su heard Su You's voice, his face was also full of surprise, and he turned off the switch of the chainsaw in his hand, "How did you come to such a dangerous place, this kid?" Hurry up and get out, this is not the place for you! Su's father said reproachfully.
Su You touched his nose, "I didn't come by myself, I'm afraid I want to go out, and people won't let me out!" Su You looked at the object in Su's father's hand, pointed to the chainsaw and asked puzzledly, "Dad, what are you doing here?" ”
"Your mother was taken away, I have to save her!" Dad Su said, with a hint of fierceness in his eyes.
"Mom is here, too?" Su You asked.
Dad Su sighed helplessly and nodded.
"Dad, I've always had a question, shouldn't you and your mother have been reincarnated a long time ago? How can you still ...... "How can I still see you, Su You didn't finish his words, because he didn't know how to treat his parents who had been dead for many years.
"Your mother and I didn't enter reincarnation after we died, but we have been wandering in this world, do you know the world I'm talking about? Not the world you live in, but the world you live in now! ”
Su You nodded, indicating that he knew.
Dad Su continued: "Your mother and I tried to rush out of here, but in vain, this place is infinite, almost the same as the real world, there are mountains and rivers, the only difference is that there are no creatures here, there are no living things, so you," Su Dad pointed at Su You, "You give Lao Tzu to get out quickly, you are a big living person who always stays in the place where the dead stay, after a long time, it is hard to guarantee that you will not stay here forever!" You're still young, don't get involved in the older generation! ”
Before Su You could react from his father's words, Su Dad was about to leave with a chainsaw.
"Hey, Dad, it's so dangerous here, you should leave me something to defend myself!" Su You screamed bitterly in the back.
Su's father threw the toolbox he had just repaired the chainsaw to Su You, "Let's see what you can use in it." ”
Dad Su turned around, glanced at Su You meaningfully, and said, "You stay away from Zuo in the future!" ”
"What do you mean?" Su You heard that it was about the uncle, and hurriedly asked. But Su's father is gone.
