Lao Yang lit the last candle, and his expression looked very strange under the light red flame. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 The corners of his mouth were covered with crumbs of meat squeezed out from chewing, his expression was gloomy and terrifying, and a pair of blank eyes swam over me repeatedly.

I'm afraid I don't look much like him, and in the long time since the moral breakdown, I've forgotten how many times I've seen Lao Yang stare at me with such a gloomy gaze. I didn't speak, I gently took the burning candle from his hand, crawled over to the wreckage that we had gnawed away, and looked at the only two bloody eyes that were left, and the resentful eyes were staring at me, I cursed, and pulled an eyeball out of the army's face with my fingers, put it in my mouth and chewed it slowly. I have eaten the eyes of fish, but I am not sure if the taste of fish eyes is the same, the memory of the past has been blurred, I just instinctively feel that the moment the eyeball is bitten by the teeth, a fishy thick juice sprays in my mouth, I do not hesitate, swallow the contents of my mouth into my belly, and lower my head to gnaw the residue on the leg bone.

Lao Yang also crawled over, swallowed another eyeball, pushed me away, and grabbed the little scrap of flesh left on the bones, I pounced, put my shoulder on his head and slammed it down. We were like two hungry mad dogs, biting each other and fighting for the scraps of meat on the wreckage.

I didn't dare to sleep, and Lao Yang tried to stay awake as much as possible, and we seemed to be engaged in an invisible tug-of-war, realizing that the first person to fall would surely become food for the other. I don't know if I'm crazy or not, but one thing I'm pretty sure of is that when Old Yang sleeps, I won't hesitate to bite his neck, and I'll do it.

When the candle was about to burn out, Lao Yang suddenly opened his mouth, and the voice drifted into my ears from a distant place:

"Please...... Please don't eat me......"

I sneered, and I felt terrible when I heard it:

"Who eats who is still uncertain, we just ate for a long time, we can stay up for two days, it's really not good, and there is a little scalp ......"

"No!" Lao Yang suddenly roared, "It can't be like this...... Can't ...... like that."

His words gradually turned into a whisper, and his body trembled and shrunk into a ball. The candle has burned to the end.

The moment the fire was extinguished, Lao Yang pounced on me, he pressed me to the ground with great strength, his hands stuck in my throat, I struggled desperately, trying to push his face away with my palms. We struggled in the dark, and after I broke free, I pressed Lao Yang underneath him and choked his neck. We roared, biting, and in the dark, judging each other's positions by echoes. I don't know how long the fight lasted, in the hole blocked by the falling stones, suddenly there was a violent torrent sound, the sound from far and near, I just held down Lao Yang, then I heard the movement behind me, after the loud noise, the rocks rolled down, a strong impact bounced me away, and then I heard a series of stones rolling. Lao Yang broke away from my hands, was carried by the torrent, and shouted heartbreakingly, and his voice became farther and farther away.

I almost forgot how I managed to crawl out of the hole that had been washed away by the flood in the dark, all I remember was that after the rapids had passed, I crawled around for a long time and heard the shouts of the adults. During this time, I don't know how long it took, I was in a coma about once, and when I woke up, I saw a light shooting from the end, I mechanically moved my hands and feet, crawled to the light, and the water continued to hit my face, washing away my sins, I really can't remember how I was saved alive.

I just remember that I lay in the hospital bed for more than half a month, and no matter how Lao Yang and Dajun's parents forced me to plead, I never spoke. I didn't say a word for a year, and after a year like the walking dead, my parents thought I was dumb and were so anxious to seek medical attention. Until one night, after they were asleep, I sneaked out of the room, ran to the freshly harvested rice field, and cried on the ground all night, and the next day, I began to forget what had happened in the past, and I went back to my normal life.

If Yang Xue hadn't received a call from home, hadn't hurried up to me and told me that Lao Yang had come back alive, I would have forgotten everything that happened in the bandit cave. But Lao Yang actually came back, and my memory became extremely clear in an instant, I remembered the distress more than ten years ago, remembered some fragments, these remaining fragments, quickly took shape in my mind, piecing together that terrible picture, the memory that I had escaped for more than ten years and now had to face again.

Yang Xue told me that Lao Yang suddenly appeared in the village, and when he appeared, he was naked, and only a few rows of ribs remained, and he walked out of the mountain with a disheveled head. At first, the person who found him thought that he was a madman who had been thrown from somewhere, a homeless man, but was surprised to find that the other party actually spoke, claiming to be Yang Xiong's son. Yang Xue's mother received the news of her hometown, immediately rushed back from Shenzhen, and saw her son who had been missing for more than ten years in the hospital ward.

Lao Yang's first sentence after waking up was that he wanted to see me, asked me where I was, and must see me immediately.

I began to panic, accusing Yang Xue of not making up such a story to scare me, and that after abandoning me alone, she had no right to threaten and fool me with other cunning means. But Yang Xue told me very calmly that she didn't lie to me at all, everything she said was true, her brother Yang Tao did come back alive, this incident caused a huge sensation in the village, if I don't believe her, I can call back and ask my parents.

That afternoon, Yang Xue and I got on the bus back to our hometown, and I kept silent, trying to remember what Lao Yang looked like at the beginning, trying to imagine what he would look like when he grew up. I wondered how he had lived in the cave for more than ten years, why he had suddenly come back at this time, and what had he been through? Why did he wake up in a hurry to see me?

Childhood memories kept flashing in my mind, Yang Xue sat next to me, suddenly held my hand, and looked at me with a very firm gaze, probably asking me to be strong and brave to face everything.

The heavy bus sped along the highway, and after six hours, the bus finally entered the county seat in western Hunan, and it was already dark on the dusty road. I didn't care about going home, so I immediately stopped a taxi with Yang Xue and rushed in the direction of the county hospital.

I want to see Lao Yang and want to know what he has to say to me.
