Chapter XXVIII
Does it have something to do with that little girl? Thinking of this, I was immediately interested. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info immediately walked out of the room, found a pink umbrella in the hall and followed.
It turned out that Shen Shuang's family had a girl-colored umbrella, but she played a handsome black. A big man of mine also came out with a small pink umbrella.
Shen Shuang looked around from time to time, and looked back frequently, and I almost let her find out a few times, but fortunately I hid in the bushes despite the humidity.
Looking from afar, the eight or nine-year-old girl suddenly appeared on the road.
She should have walked out head-on, but the fog was so great that it seemed to me to appear out of nowhere.
I saw Shen Shuang bend down as if to kiss the little girl's forehead, and the two seemed to be very familiar with each other, said a few words, held hands and walked forward.
Sure enough, Shen Shuang was lying, she not only saw this girl, but also knew her. It is very likely that she would have noticed that I was following the little girl, and deliberately stopped me in the back to let her escape. But why did she do it? I really couldn't figure it out, so I had to continue to follow the two of them forward.
Suddenly, the two of them turned into a wooded area that was rarely inhabited, and I hesitated for a moment and followed. The yellow weeds on both sides looked like they were half a man tall, and it looked like no one had been here for a long time.
And the soil under your feet is very soft, and when it rains, it becomes muddy. After less than ten minutes of walking, I already felt that I had taken up more than ten pounds of mud.
I walked over to a large tree and rubbed the mud off my feet. When I looked up, I found that the figure in front of me was gone? Hey, where did they go in the blink of an eye?
I quickly lowered my head, looked for the footprints, and slowly looked ahead. didn't go to either side, and found that the distance between the footprints of the two of them was getting bigger and bigger, and finally one was facing left and the other was right.
It seems that they found that someone was following, so they deliberately separated.
This is difficult for me, of course I followed Shen Shuang's footprints, that little girl is short, poor, and the shoe prints left are relatively shallow. It can be easily destroyed by rain.
And Shen Shuang is just the opposite, after making up his mind. I resolutely followed Shen Shuang's footprints quickly.
Before you know it, the trees on both sides are becoming more and more scarce, the ground is covered with withered yellow "root" grass, and the shoe prints are gone.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the dirty grass that was still left was blurred. I lost it.
"Smack! Syllable! "The rain is pouring in. The rain was pouring down, and in an instant my pants were wet.
I quickly lowered the umbrella and staggered back.
Rain and fog mingle to blur my vision. I felt like I was going further and further apathy, not at all like the way I first came.
There were rows of dilapidated houses in front of them, and the remnants of the walls were all over the place, as if no one had lived in them for a long time.
"Tick! Tick"
I didn't dare to go into the dark rooms, and the lightning illuminated the huge figures on the walls of the rooms, and they became hideous and terrifying. I kept trembling and walked forward little by little, for fear that a person would suddenly jump out of the abandoned house.
Suddenly, there was a dilapidated tiled house in front of me, and there was a faint glimmer of light.
I was overjoyed and hurried over.
The glimmer flickered and dimmed, as if it was a threat to be extinguished at any moment. I am like a drowning man grasping at a straw, which is hope.
I tread through the muddy water until I finally came to a mud-walled house, from which the glimmer of light emanated.
I cautiously walked to the door, and just as I was about to knock, I found it half-covered. I put my face close to the crack in the door and could faintly see the furnishings inside.
The room is not big, and it looks particularly dirty inside. And there seems to be no electric light, the only light that shines is a candle on the table. A table with only three legs, one leg supported by stone.
Facing me was a grandmother with only half of her face, and the other half of her face had been bitten off by something, and it was full of potholes. Only the eyes are half-open, which looks particularly weird. Instead, there is also a huge black birthmark on the forehead in front, which makes people shudder.
Sitting to her left was the little girl of eight or nine years old, her hair wet and dripping with rain from below. Suddenly she glanced towards the door, and my heart beat violently. She was terrible, his eyeballs were not the same as ordinary people, she had two pupils in one eye, and her eyes also shone with this blue fluorescence.
Heavy pupils! Heavy pupils! I whispered, and what came to mind was the account of the double pupil that I had seen in a ghost story before.
Legend has it that they opened their eyes and were able to see every hidden demon. They are unique four-dimensional spaces, with forces that do not exist in the world.
The little girl looked at me and suddenly smiled meaningfully, exactly as she had been in front of my window half an hour earlier.
I kept breaking out in a cold sweat, she couldn't really be a dead man, and she would come back again.
Grandma and Shen Shuang didn't seem to find any problems, only to see Shen Shuang take out a large handful of things from the black plastic bag and put them on the table: "Twenty kilograms of rice, more than twenty candles, a small bag of salt and a small and delicate flashlight." ”
"Thank you so much, good girl, if it weren't for you, we would have starved to death." Grandma's hoarse voice was like a wolf's howl, which made people sound particularly uncomfortable.
Shen Shuang didn't seem to be the slightest afraid, she took Grandma's hand: "I should do this, I remember when you were a child, you gave me candy to eat." ”
Grandma sighed and said, "If it's possible, you might as well send Tiantian to the orphanage." She is already nine years old, and it will be too late if she does not integrate into society. ”
Her tone was as sad as the wailing of a dying man.
Shen Shuang suddenly put down Grandma's hand, stood up and walked in front of Tian Tian, stroked her head and said, "Let her stay with you for another two years, I want to take you to our house, but my mother is unwilling." I'm sorry, Grandma. You are alone in this deserted village, and if something happens one day, she can come out and tell me. ”
A line of tears flowed from the old man's eyes, and her rough hands kept rubbing against her face with scars everywhere: "My own son doesn't care about me anymore, how can I force outsiders?" You're doing this now. If I hadn't picked up this child, I would have died a long time ago. Two years ago, you asked me to send my children to an orphanage, I was selfish and afraid to die in loneliness. Now I've figured it out, early death is early and early life is overborn. Ha ha! ”
As he spoke, the old man let out a heart-rending laugh, which broke people's hearts.
A line of clear water also crossed Shen Shuang's cheeks, and she sobbed quietly: "You have given up too much to take care of this child." In the past, I didn't care about your feelings, so let Tiantian accompany you for another two years. ”
