Chapter 22: The Place
Hearing this, Huang Jun probably understood something, but at the same time, there were more things he didn't understand. "You mean, you can go to a place? That place is huge? So, what exactly is that place? Huang Jun asked.
"Actually, I don't know, we don't know in the village, we only know that we can enter that place to get food, and even if we do, we can't go far, because we don't know what will be waiting for us there," Osmanthus hesitated.
"That place, where is the entrance? Can we go in? Huang Jun asked.
"No, you can't, only beings like us can, I mean, can become shadows" Osmanthus said.
"What else did you see in that place, apart from you, I mean the people of your village?" Huang Jundao.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, what other creatures do you see, like people, or animals," Huang added.
Osmanthus thought for a while and said: "How to say, when we first went there, we didn't find anything, but we felt that it was gloomy and gloomy, there was nothing, not even the sun, and the visibility was very low, and it was difficult to see anything." We couldn't see anything for a long time, not to mention people, even some animals were hard to see, only some plants, and food, where our food could still grow normally, so we didn't feel any discomfort. But then we found out...... "Osmanthus said this, and stopped.
"What did you find? You said" Shu Yao couldn't help it and urged.
"I don't know how to say it, but we found out that it's not just us, but there seem to be a lot of people there," said Osmanthus Flower.
"It seems? Yes is yes, no is no, how to use the word seem? You're too vague to speak," Shu Yao said dissatisfiedly.
"Actually, we weren't too sure at first, we really didn't find anything at that time, but after a long time we found out that sometimes the food we planted would disappear for no reason, and we couldn't find it no matter how we found it, and our tools were too, and then we found out that these were taken away by it" Osmanthus said here with a frightened look.
"They? Who are they? Huang Jun asked.
"They, they are the aborigines there, and from our eyes, they are a shadow," Osmanthus said.
"You mean, they're the shadows? Are they also human? "Osmanthus Road.
"Of course, they are actually people, but you can't see them, even us, we can only see them by becoming shadows, if not, we can't see them, they were born there, that world looks like nothing, but in fact they are everywhere" Osmanthus heart palpitations said.
"You look scared when you talk about them, why? Are they very aggressive? Huang Jun asked.
"No, but do you know why we're the way we are?" Osmanthus Road.
"Is it because of them?" Huang Jundao.
"Yes, I don't know where they came into our village, there was only one one who entered our village, and that one changed us all into the way we are now, I think, if they all run out, it must be a disaster" Osmanthus said.
"So, what is Xiao Jia who came in with us?" Huang Jun asked.
"That Xiao Jia is one of them, I recognize it," Osmanthus said here, gritting her teeth.
"Do you recognize it?" Huang Jundao.
"Yes, it is the one that ran into our village in the first place, if it weren't for it, we wouldn't be like this, fortunately Xiao Jia went out that day and escaped, but now I will never see my son again, you have to take Xiao Jia far away, don't come back, I don't want him to become like me" Osmanthus said.
"But what is its purpose? Why did it bring us in halfway? And why did it break into your village? And, according to you, there were a lot of such monsters in that world, but why didn't they come out of that world? And just came out of one? Huang Jun said.
"This, in fact, I don't understand, I also asked them, but they just said that there seems to be some agreement, and you can't cross the line" Osmanthus said suspiciously.
"In that case, why did it run into the village again?" Huang Jun asked.
"I inquired about this afterwards, in their world, they can't come to our world casually, it seems to say that there is some agreement, but not everyone abides by such an agreement, and the person who ran to our village, well, in fact, it is called Lin Hai, Lin Hai does not want to abide by this agreement" Osmanthus said.
"They have such a magical ability to turn all the people they come into contact with into shadows, so why don't they come out and move? This is a bit puzzling," Huang said.
"I don't know very well about this, and they don't tell us either. But one thing is for sure, they are also human beings, and their wisdom seems to be higher than ours, and they can change their appearance at will," Osmanthus reminded.
"You must have been educated by them, right? Otherwise, I don't think a peasant woman in a mountain village should have such thinking," Wen Haidao.
Huang Jun nodded, this point was always something he felt wrong, and it was also the reason why he was not worried about Osmanthus, because if she was really just a peasant woman in a mountain village, it would not be the way she behaved now, but Wen Hai's inference was very likely, and it was also consistent with the facts.
"Yes, I have been educated by them, but, I don't want to, if I have a choice, I still want to live a peaceful life like before, but unfortunately, now it is no longer possible, I can send you out safely, but you must promise me to take care of my son" Osmanthus said a little sadly.
"Is it true that once you become a shadow, there is no way to change it back?" Huang Jun asked.
"Maybe there is, maybe not, but I don't know, and they won't tell me," Osmanthus said.
"Okay, I still want to ask ......" Huang Jun just said this, Osmanthus said: "Don't ask again, there will be no time to ask again, you already know what you should know, I tell you this, in fact, it is not good for you at all, but I still said, you have to leave quickly, otherwise it will really be too late" Osmanthus 's face became more and more anxious.
"I promise, the last question, after asking this question, I will never ask again" Huang Jun said.
"Okay, you ask, but I don't guarantee that I will know" Osmanthus reluctantly Yan.
"I just wanted to ask, what's, well, Lin Hai, what is its purpose? Why did it run into your village and turn you all into shadows, and why did it follow us and bring us in, and what was its purpose? Huang Jun said.
"Its purpose? I don't know, I don't know at all, but I can feel it's like it's on a plan, I don't know what it's doing, but it's not at ease, by the way, no matter how tired you are when you go out, don't rest, especially you can't sit down, unless you go out of the area, because as soon as you sit down, you never want to leave, and you'll be like us, and you'll never leave this place," Osmanthus instructed.
"Is it really that powerful?" Shu Yao didn't believe it.
"Of course, a few people from the search and rescue team would come in at night before, and then that's how they became one of us," Osmanthus smiled bitterly.
"Okay, we remembered, now tell us, how to get out?" Huang Jun saw that the time was not leaving, and knew that he could not afford to delay any longer, no matter how this matter was solved, he had to go out first, otherwise the outside world would still know nothing about the matter.
"Now you listen, Lin Hai knows your identity, but other people outside don't know your identity, and I don't know what Lin Hai thinks, but it doesn't reveal your identity, which is more advantageous, wait a minute, I will pester Lin Hai, after you go out, keep moving forward, go in a straight line, you can't follow the original road in the village, if that's the case, you can't go out for the rest of your life, this, you must remember "Osmanthus Road."
"But what if it doesn't work in a straight line?" Wenhaidao.
"Of course, in your eyes, a straight line will definitely not work, but it doesn't matter, no matter what you encounter in front of you, just go forward, there is no problem, you will naturally go out in the end" Osmanthus said.
"Okay," Huang Jun said. Before the words fell, "Xiao Jia" suddenly ran in outside, "Mom, why did you talk to your uncle for so long?" ”
Osmanthus said kindly: "It's nothing, I'll talk to a few uncles"
"Mom is not allowed to bully uncle, uncle is very good to Xiao Jiajia" "Xiao Jiajia" said unhappily.
"How could it be, it's too late for Mom to thank them, how can she bully them? Come, Xiao Jia, my mother will take you to meet a few uncles, you haven't been back for a long time, so they are very worried" Osmanthus said quietly.
"Okay, okay, I haven't seen them for a long time," Xiao Jia clapped her hands and said. But then he said, "But what about uncles?" ”
"Uncle, they're tired, let them rest for a while," Osmanthus continued to laugh. "Xiao Jia" didn't doubt him, so he happily followed Osmanthus away, and only Huang Jun and them were left in the house.
"Are we dreaming? How do we feel like we're dreaming about what happened today? Shu Yao said.
"It would be nice if we were dreaming, at least, when we woke up we wouldn't have anything, and unlike now, we still have to find a way to get out, what do you think?" Wen Hai looked at Huang Jundao.
"Something is wrong, something is wrong, I don't think this matter has an evil aura" Huang Jun shook his head.
