I have now recognized my situation, and I know that this place cannot stay for long, after all, what happened to Xue Qian. I don't want to do it again.

I asked Li Jia a little anxiously: "Do you know how to escape?" ”

Li Jia smiled bitterly: "If I knew, how could I make myself like this?" ”

I sighed and asked, "How long have you been here?" ”

Li Jia thought for a while and said, "It's been more than half a month." ”

I lowered my head and pondered: "More than half a month. Can I last for half a month? Half a month later, the people in the empty house will come to me, and even if they rescue me at that time, I'm afraid I will be the same as Li Jia. What's more, will the people in the empty house be able to find me? ”

I sat down a little distraught. Then he asked, "Do you know what this place is?" If we have a precise location, we can find a way to escape. ”

Li Jia thought for a while and said, "I once heard Sister Fang and those little ghosts mention it. It is said that this place is called Lotus Lake. But I've been here for so many days, and I've never seen a lotus. ”

I frowned and thought for a long time. I didn't know that there was a place called Lotus Lake in China. At least, there is no such place in Huaicheng.

I sighed and thought to myself, "The power of ghosts and gods is incredible. I heard that some people were coerced by fox demons and traveled hundreds of miles a day. God knows where I was taken by Sister Hua. ”

Sister Hua didn't know what to do, so I probed my brain, thinking about whether I could get out of here.

Li Jia seemed to have been desperate for a long time, and he persuaded me: "There are many terrible beasts in the lake, once you fall into it, there are no bones left, and there is no possibility of escaping at all. Sister Fang is not worried about us escaping. ”

As soon as I heard this, my heart cooled.

I looked at Li Jia and asked, "What happened just now?" Is that ugly girl a guest who came here to have fun? ”

Li Jia nodded. It is estimated that he will not see a living person all year round, so he has nothing to hide from me, and said happily: "The ugly girl was a beautiful woman before she was a flower. But because this appearance is so outstanding, there are some people in their eyes. A young man chased her for three years. Instead of accepting it, she humiliated the young man severely. In a fit of rage, the young man bought sulfuric acid and ruined her appearance. ”

I gasped: "This young man is too ruthless." If you can't get something, do you want to destroy it? It's not love at all, it's possession. ”

Li Jia continued: "After the ugly girl was disfigured, the young man continued to pursue. It turns out that he thinks like this: when the ugly girl was as beautiful as a flower, her vision was quite high, and no one looked down on her, but now she has become an ugly monster, there is no reason to refuse me, right? ”

I said, "This young man doesn't change his mind. It should be introduced to Sister Hua. ”

Li Jia said: "It's not that young people don't change their original intentions. It's just a breath of air. But the ugly girl also has a lot of backbone, even if I am disfigured, I still ignore you. The two men were at a stalemate for months. The ugly girl never agreed to the young man's request. And her own friends left one by one. The ugly girl couldn't bear the pressure of life, so she jumped into the river and died. ”

I sighed and said, "Poor man, too." What about the young man? ”

Li Jia said: "That young man, he should have changed his goal and pursued a new beauty." After the ugly girl became a ghost, her appearance was still so ugly. Even the imps didn't want to be with her, so she became a regular here. A few days ago, when I was still good-looking, she was always willing to talk to me, and she told me about these things. ”

I nodded and asked, "When you look good, do you mean half a month ago?" ”

Li Jia said: "Not bad. Half a month ago. The flesh on my body is still there. The appearance can also be called handsome. "The Dull Beanbird.

I pointed to the ribs on his body: "Then how did you end up like this?" ”

Li Jia smiled bitterly: "Those demons are looking for me day and night, where can I survive?" It's only been half a month, and it's become like this. ”

When I heard this, I couldn't help but shudder. If I don't think about it, sooner or later, I will have to become like Li Jia.

I saw that there were still tears on his face, and suddenly I remembered the cry I had just heard, so I asked, "Were you crying just now?" ”

When Li Jia heard me ask, he suddenly fell silent. He nodded, in acknowledgement.

I asked, "Why are you crying?" Because the ugly woman won't redeem herself? ”

Li Jia nodded again.

I wondered, "Brother, you're not dizzy, are you?" Do you really think you're a prostitute? ”

Li Jia sighed and said, "Brother, people are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves. When I first came, I also regarded myself as a scholar, and I was a soldier who could not be humiliated, and I was heroic and upright. But what happened? After the darkness passed, I slowly didn't think about anything. Rolling in the mud, it's already dirty anyway, why struggle to get up again, isn't it more comfortable to lie down? ”

"Since the ugly girl is willing to redeem me, it is to affirm me as a person, and I am naturally happy. Though I have fallen into this field. But there is a good saying, people go to high places, and water flows to low places. Even if you lie in the mud, you want the mud to be warm, not cold. ”

"If you are ransomed by an ugly woman. I'll just serve her. No more messing around. Even if it's out of the sea of suffering. ”

I listened and didn't speak, but I thought to myself, "This guy is really interesting." He followed the customs of the locals and learned a full lesson from the prostitutes of the old society. ”

Throughout the day, Li Jia was lamenting his life experience, sad and sad. And I talked about how happy the ugly girl was when he first came. If you have any confidant to him, the two of them are simply raising their eyebrows, and they are like husband and wife on this boat.

It's a pity that later he lost weight a little bit, and the ugly girl was a little cold to him. Until now, it was completely vented on him. After venting, I don't even want to take one more look. Now that I'm here, he's even more uncared for.

I thought to myself, "I wish no one cared about me." ”

While listening to his chatter, I tore off the rags from the bed and wrote my name and Xue Qian's phone number in blood. Then throw it into the water.

Li Jia said: "It's useless for you to do this, it's all lake water outside, and your blood will be spent as soon as you soak it." ”

I sighed and said, "What can I do?" Are you just waiting here to die? ”

Sister Hua didn't appear again, and our boat was floating back and forth in the lake. I sat on the bow of the boat and sighed vigorously: Yedu is unmanned, where am I going to be saved?

Suddenly, a spot of light appeared in the sky, and it expanded dramatically.

Li Jia called, "Come back quickly." ”

Before I could understand what was going on, I saw a large fireball fall from the sky.

I was startled and asked, "What's going on?" ”

Li Jia dragged me back to the boat, and then said, "Close the doors and windows." ”

I heard Li Jia's urgent voice, and hurriedly complied, and when I closed the window, I saw countless fireballs falling outside, as if it was raining.

The surface of the lake burned as if it were on fire. The water vapor steamed and enveloped us.

I closed the window and retreated into the boat. Feel a burst of heat.

I asked Li Jia, "What's going on?" ”

Li Jia said bitterly: "I don't know what's going on. But every once in a while, fireballs would fall from the sky, and it would be very difficult. But as long as you don't leave the cabin and endure it here with peace of mind, you will get through it eventually. ”

I sat in the cabin, hot and dry at first, dizzy and dizzy. I drank all the water in the cup.

I endured it for a long time, and finally, the fireball outside gradually decreased. The heat has slowly subsided.

I looked at Li Jia weakly and said, "It seems that you are not wrong. This terrible thing is finally over. ”

Li Jia said with a sad face: "The terrible thing has not yet come." However, it's also coming soon. ”

I left the doors and windows open. I saw a full moon in the sky. It dawned on me and said, "Today seems to be the Mid-Autumn Festival." ”

At this time, Sister Hua's voice came from outside: "Yes, the full moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival is the day of reunion." ”
