I saw that the child's clothes were simple, just a piece of cloth, hastily cut and wrapped around his body, but it was such a dress, with his innocent face. In the midst of this green mountain and ancient pine, it looks very interesting.

It's like an ancient painting.

Mr. Lu frowned and asked, "The quack doctor is not here?" Where can he go? ”

The child stood up, took the pine nuts in his arms, and said with a smile: "I don't know where Master has gone, don't you see that I am also waiting for him?" ”

Then the child said, "But it's useless for you to wait, my master said, no one will see you, if you are looking for him to heal, then you have come in vain." ”

I was amused in my heart, looked at Mr. Lu and said, "It's over, your face is not good this time." ”

Mr. Lu smiled helplessly, and then asked the child, "Why did your master go?" When will he come back? Whether he can cure the disease or not, when he sees me, he will naturally know. "The island is dead.

The child thought about it with his cheeks and said, "He's gone to collect medicine." As for when I will come back, I remember Master said that he would be back tomorrow morning. ”

I listened to this and thought to myself: it's just one night, we'll just wait, and it's nothing.

Suddenly, the child called, "Oh, you're Mr. Lu, right?" I know you. ”

Mr. Lu was stunned for a moment: "Do you know me?" ”

The child clapped his hands and said, "Haven't you been here before?" I've seen you. ”

Mr. Lu sneered: "Children have good memories, haha." I don't remember you. ”

The child was not angry, and said with a smile: "I remember you." Since you are a friend of Master, then come in and wait. ”

The kid invited us in. The stone house was simply furnished, and Mr. Lu and I sat on the stone bench and began to look around boredly.

Mr. Lu suddenly pointed to one of the rooms and asked, "Is that your room over there?" ”

I looked into the room, and there was a curtain hanging from the door. I don't know how long this curtain has been hanging, and a lot of dust has fallen on it, and it looks a little dirty.

On the curtain, some small animals were painted in grass ash. The strokes are immature, and they should have come from the hands of the child in front of them.

When the child heard Mr. Lu ask, he first shook his head suspiciously, then glanced at the room with some fear, and then whispered: "I can't go to that room, I always feel that there is something terrible in it." I never go into that room. ”

I saw that the child's face was mysterious, and that he was not pretending to be afraid. I couldn't help but want to tease him. So he said: "With the support of the two of us today, don't be afraid, let's go in and have a look, how about it?" ”

The child lowered his head and thought seriously for a while, then nodded: "Okay." ”

He was about to walk towards the room. Mr. Lu stretched out his hand and grabbed him.

Mr. Lu smiled and said, "Since that room is terrible. Let's not go and see it. If something happens, how can you explain it to your master? ”

The child thought for a moment and said, "Well, you're right, I'd better not go in." Wait for Master to come back tomorrow and let him go and see it. ”

I think this child is innocent and cute, every word and word comes from the heart, which is completely different from the people under the mountain. I can't help but feel very comfortable.

We walked around the stone house, from morning to noon, from noon to evening, and sure enough, the quack doctor did not return.

Throughout the day, the child just laughed and played around us, and it was clear that he was also very happy to have the two of us as companions. It's just that he never brought out food to entertain us, and even he himself only ate two pine nuts and drank two mountain springs.

In desperation, we had to eat the dry food we had brought.

After nightfall, Mr. Lu and I lay on the stone bed, while the child curled up in the corner of the stone bed and quickly fell asleep.

The bed was covered with a thick layer of hay, which was much more comfortable than sleeping in the wilderness.

I worked for a few days in a row, and I was so sleepy that I fell asleep in a daze.

Suddenly, I felt someone gently shaking me. I was startled, awoke from my dream, and reached for my broadsword.

At this time, I heard a voice whispering in my ear: "Zhao Mang, it's me." ”

I heard Mr. Lui's voice. immediately put his mind at ease, and then asked, "Mr. Lu, what are you going to do?" ”

Mr. Lu whispered, "Let's go out first." Walk lightly and don't wake the child. ”

I saw that he was mysterious, and I couldn't help but get nervous.

I followed Mr. Lu out of the dry grass. Slowly walked outside the stone house.

Mr. Lu led me to the pine trees, he first looked behind him cautiously, and after making sure that the child did not come out, he looked at me and said, "Zhao Mang, I found that there is a little problem here. ”

At this time, the moonlight shines through the pine branches. I saw Mr. Lu's face half sunny and half cloudy, and I couldn't help but be a little scared. "What the hell is the problem?" Don't scare me. ”

Mr. Lu said: "Actually, during the day, I recognized this child. But I didn't admit it. ”

I waved my hand and said helplessly, "That's it?" It's a big deal, and you deserve to inform me? ”

I yawned and turned to go back to sleep. However, Mr. Lu grabbed me and said, "Haven't you figured it out yet? I came here 10 years ago. ”

When I first heard this and a sentence, I didn't react. I looked down and thought for two seconds. I started to get scared.

Cold sweat ran down my head. I pointed to the stone house and stammered, "This kid, this kid looks like he's only ten years old, right?" Ten years ago, he was a little baby, how did he know you? ”

Mr. Lu said: "When I came here, he was so big. Ten years later, he's still the same. ”

I glared and said with some panic, "You mean he's a ghost?" ”

Mr. Lu said: "Either he is a ghost, or he has become an immortal and is immortal." ”

Then he whispered, "When I came here ten years ago. The child just slept in that room, and when he came back ten years later, he wouldn't go in, guess why? ”

I shook my head and asked, "Because of what?" ”

Mr. Lu said: "If we want to know the reason, I'm afraid we have to go in and see for ourselves." During the day, I always want to find a chance to sneak in and see what is going on. But the kid was always pestering me, and I couldn't get out. Now that he's falling asleep so easily, we can finally get in. ”

Mr. Lu slowly led me back to the house. By the moonlight shining through the window, I saw the child still lying asleep on the bed.

The two of us sneakily lifted the curtains. Then I walked into the room.

The dust on the curtain was tossed up by us. Choking makes me want to cough. I clutched my mouth and nose tightly, and finally held it back.

It was dark. There was only a small window that let in the moonlight.

The two of us stood inside the room for a while, finally getting used to the light.

I saw a bed next to the wall, and it was the same stone bed outside, with dead grass on it. And in the midst of this withered grass lies a man.

I glanced at Mr. Lu, and his eyes were a little surprised.

Mr. Lu walked over slowly, then gently touched the person, and whispered, "Are you?" ”

Unexpectedly, Mr. Lu's hand had just approached the person's body. He snapped and broke in two.

That's when I found out. It's a skeleton. The person lying on the bed was completely rotten. All that was left was a pile of bones. I was simply wrapped in the clothes on my body.

I looked at the bones on the bed in amazement, lowered my voice and said, "There's a dead man here?" ”

Mr. Lu pointed to the dead man's clothes and said, "Look at it, is it a little familiar?" ”

I just glanced at it, and immediately recognized it, the clothes were exactly the same as those worn by the children outside.

Mr. Lu's voice was a little sad: "He's dead." Possibly, dead for almost ten years. Look at the bones, they are still like children. ”

I was about to speak, when I heard a child's voice behind me say, "Am I dead?" Am I dead? ”

I looked back and saw the child looking at his body in amazement, and he cried out, and then disappeared.
