Xia Beifeng nodded a dot on each side of the circle, and continued: "Suppose these two points are us when I saw you in the afternoon, and I passed through the middle circle when I drove to find you without knowing it, so I feel that you are not very far away from me, but the driving time is very long, and once people enter this circle, they will disappear visually like other things in this circle, just like Xu Yuan saw other people disappear, I guess if they keep staring at me in the afternoon, You will find that I also disappeared out of thin air like this. When we came back, we also passed through this circle and appeared in front of Xu Yuan's eyes out of thin air. ”

He connected the two dots in a straight line and glanced up at Shen Yungui, who nodded to indicate that he could understand for the time being.

"But our main trouble now is not this, it's ......"

He drew a big circle on the outside of the circle, pointed to the edge of the circle and said, "The problem we have now is, I don't know why, no matter which direction we go, we will eventually touch the edge of this big circle, and then go directly back to the vicinity of the small circle in the middle, and this is the real reason why we can't get out." ”

"Sounds reasonable, how did you come up with that?" Shen Yungui felt that his brain seemed to be a little unable to keep up with this person's rhythm.

"The watch stopped." Xia Beifeng stretched out his hand to let him look at the watch on his wrist, and the time stopped at eleven twenty-three minutes.

"My personal feeling is that the time when the watch stopped happened to be when we entered the big circle, because of the influence of something, the electronic devices we brought were out of signal at the same time, and since this time we have basically been circling in this circle, if it wasn't for the time when I fell asleep, I guess I could find something, but it's useless to say these now, I'll tell me how I found it."

He moved his body, changed his sitting position, and continued: "It's actually quite simple, although there is sand all around, but there is still a difference if you look closely, for example, there is a tree near the place where Xu Yuan stays, it actually grows in a small circle, and it can't be seen when you take two steps to the side, and there is a sudden change from one place to another, the density of the sand is not the same, and you can find it by driving a few more rounds." ”

Shen Yungui admitted that he did not have this ability to observe the surrounding environment in detail, so he could only look down at the big circle on the ground, digesting the information he had just gotten.

He thought for a long time before tentatively expressing his opinion: "I think so...... The outer ring you said is a bit like a ghost hitting a wall, but, in the desert? ”

"Well, it's almost, because of the spatial disorder caused by the unknown magnetic field, sometimes it is called a ghost hitting the wall" Xia Beifeng agreed with his statement, and then added his own opinion: "It's not the key in the desert, the key is this range, counting the invisible piece inside, it can be more than a hundred kilometers, similar to a small city, as far as I know, except for the ancient battlefield, there are few such large-scale spatial disorders." ”

Shen Yungui was really stunned at this moment, not for this final conclusion, but-

"How do you know the specific range?"

Xia Beifeng glanced at him in surprise, and seemed to be very puzzled by his surprise.

"Count, let's see how far we've run back to where we are, plus the distance where I'm looking for you divided by two, and multiply by pi when the square is finished...... Didn't your elementary school teacher teach you? ”

Mr. Shen Yungui, who successfully got a job before finishing junior high school, said that his mind is a little messy now.

Since it's a bit messy, don't think about it, let's think about what you can understand.

After clearing the mess of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division from his mind, Shen Yungui comforted himself and began to rethink the current situation.

It's not that he hasn't seen ghosts hitting the wall, and he has even encountered them quite a few times (and every time it's quite bad), but just like Xia Beifeng said, ordinary ghosts hitting the wall won't have such a large range, unless......

"With such a large area, how many people have died in this place!"

Shen Yungui looked at the yellow sand on the ground, it was obviously a sultry and almost breathless temperature now, and when he thought of not knowing how many corpses were buried under his feet, he felt a little chill in his back.

Xia Beifeng didn't say anything, he said something that sounded very reasonable, but it didn't help much to the current situation, and he could only make people keep thinking about reasoning, and began to poke the charcoal under the fire with the iron stick in his hand with great interest, like a child who had discovered a novelty toy.

The fire made a crackling sound with the movement of Xia Beifeng's hand, and the swaying flames shone on the surroundings of the two, and the shadows that shook with the firelight seemed to be ghosts that would pounce at any time.

He was actually addicted to playing, Shen Yungui sighed, feeling that he didn't have any temper with this person.

"You go to sleep first, I'll keep vigil here." Xia Beifeng's eyes kept staring at the charcoal in the fire, and he said without turning his head.

"Huh?" Shen Yungui was startled by his sudden opening, and then reacted, this person seemed to be euphemistically expressing his concern for him just now.

But at such times, who can sleep?

"Oh no, I'm not sleepy, let's talk."

"Okay......"

What are you talking about, in fact, Shen Yungui regretted it as soon as he said it, but there was no way to take it back casually.

In fact, he has always been a little worried about being alone with Xia Beifeng, and most of the time, the communication between the two of them will start with his nonsense or other provocative behavior, and end with him being beaten. Occasionally, the two of them would fall into silence like now, and whenever he did, he would fall into a strange self-loathing, unable to extricate himself.

I'm such a useless adult, Shen Yungui laughed self-deprecatingly and asked a casual question.

"What did that black thing on your skewer turn out to be baked?"

"Roasted marshmallows, but a little burnt." Xia Beifeng handed over the iron skewer in his hand and enthusiastically recommended, "Do you want to taste it?" ”

It's a little burnt, it's all charred, okay, who wants to taste it, it's going to die!

Shen Yungui stared at the black object, and he really couldn't connect it with the marshmallow.

"No thanks...... Roasted marshmallows, is this how they are roasted? ”

"Ah, I usually bake it in the oven at home, but I just suddenly wanted to try it, but it didn't seem to be very successful." Xia Beifeng was not very disappointed when he was refused, and continued to poke the charcoal with the iron skewer in his hand.

How do you think it's just not very successful, it's a very failure, okay?

Shen Yungui felt that there were basically few people who could take it over, but he still racked his brains to continue the topic.

"You ...... Where did the marshmallows come from? ”

"Xu Yuan's little ghost brought potato chips, popcorn, and jelly...... He seemed to really think he was here for an outing. Xia Beifeng said as he took out a bunch of snacks from the backpack next to him, and continued to enthusiastically recommend, "You try this flavor of potato chips, it's delicious." ”

He handed a bag of potato chips to Shen Yungui, not caring at all that the owner of this pile of things was not him.

Ah, this doesn't look dangerous, it should be edible.

Shen Yungui took the potato chips, and he didn't think that there was anything wrong with eating other people's things like this, so he asked casually: "Why did you come to this ghost place with such a group of people who are obviously tired and crooked and want to find death?" ”

"Yueyue asked me to come." Xia Beifeng rummaged in someone else's bag for a while, and opened a box of bear biscuits, "Her husband is the one who said that he was a Loulan horse in his last life, she can't stop it, she is still pregnant, and she is not at ease, let me come with me to have a look, I will come." ”

"Yueyue?" Shen Yungui searched his memory for a while, and felt that he should not know a woman named Yueyue, "Which confidante are you, everyone is married and still doing their best, it's not like your character." ”

"Su Yueyue, your cousin."

"Oh oh" After being reminded, Shen Yungui remembered that he seemed to have such a cousin named Su Yueyue, but he couldn't remember what he looked like, "When did you two become so familiar." ”

"Ten years ago, we were in a relationship for two months, and then we broke up." Xia Beifeng ate the biscuits and answered this question very calmly.

Shen Yungui almost choked to death on potato chips.

"You, you...... Yueyue is your elder, do you know, you are a mess...... cough cough cough ......"

Xia Beifeng handed over a bottle of water in time, watched Shen Yungui take a sip of water, and continued to stimulate him: "Anyway, there is no blood relationship, it should be fine." ”

Shen Yungui once again gave birth to the idea of "kill him".

"If you don't have a blood relationship, you can fall in love with your elders casually, and your family doesn't care...... Oh no! Shen Yungui finally realized the most critical problem.

"I remember you went to the army halfway through college, when did you two fall in love, ten years ago, Yueyue was still in high school, you are already a crime!"

Faced with the accusation of a crime, Xia Beifeng still calmly defended himself: "It's not a crime when she turns sixteen, and later we were worried that the long-distance relationship would affect her college entrance examination, so we broke up." ”

Obviously, every word he heard could make people angry, but Shen Yungui found that he couldn't find anything wrong in this person's words, and a kind of sadness suddenly arose in his heart called "Lao Tzu has simply lived to a dog for so many years".

Wait a minute......

Sixteen years old.

Not a crime?

Shen Yungui felt as if he understood something terrible.

Then he felt even more sad.

Lao Tzu is in his thirties and hasn't been in love seriously, what do the little rabbits think about now!

Of course, this thing in front of you can't be considered a cub now.

Xia Beifeng finally decided to let the pair of charcoal go mercifully before they were about to break into powder, and he casually inserted the iron stick in his hand on the sand, stretching his waist, as if they were not in the dangerous wilderness, but chatting about old things on the sofa at home, casual and free.

Shen Yungui looked at the person in front of him, and didn't know what to say for a while.

The firelight reflected Xia Beifeng's side face, and his already very attractive facial features brought a bit of a compelling momentum, probably because it was too hot, he just casually draped a coat and opened his placket, revealing a strong muscle.

The expression on this person's face is basically a little smiling when he usually speaks and acts, and he seems to be very easy-going, but he will occasionally inadvertently reveal a bit of danger--that is unique to people who have experienced life and death battles, similar to the aura of a beast.

is no longer the child in Shen Yungui's memory who can stay quietly for a day by giving him a pen.

Ah, it turns out that he has grown up.

It was the first time that Shen Yungui had recognized this fact so clearly.

While recognizing this, I am also aware of another fact that I have been ignoring for a long time.

Ah, I am already old.

"Uncle."

Shen Yungui, who was deeply sad and unable to extricate himself, suddenly heard Xia Beifeng's voice calling him.

Then he saw Xia Beifeng raise his index finger and make a silent movement.

Hello everyone, I'm the dividing line of the small theater***************

I don't have a joke today, so let's write a small theater.

A girl once told Xia Beifeng a ghost story: "A man saw a girl with a ponytail facing the wall on the side of the road...... Ask her why she is crying...... She replied...... He's going to take her home. She said...... You're going to be scared to see me. He said it was okay...... She stood up and turned to face him, and he saw a ponytail......

The girl finished telling the story in one breath, and when she saw that Xia Beifeng didn't react, she asked, "How is it, isn't it particularly scary?" ”

Xia Beifeng: "Huh? Double ponytails? ”
