19. Choice
The words have fallen, Zheng Chulan and the boy who didn't know when he woke up were still speechless, still in such a stalemate and silent atmosphere, perhaps because there were few changes in the other cages at this time, the person's patience slowly became poor, he twisted his body and then sat on the Taishi chair, the loose sleeves hung down, revealing the snow-white arm of the other world, he supported the armrest with one elbow, yawned with his cheek on his wrist, and continued,
"Ah, ah, it's not good to drag on like this, since you are so difficult to choose, then why don't I help you, after I count dozens of them, if there is no change in the cage, then you all die together." Ten! ”
"Nine!"
As soon as the words fell, the boy in the cage seemed to have suddenly put down something, and the whole person became relieved, he raised his head and smiled at Zheng Chulan suddenly, and suddenly his face, which was usually always cringe, stretched out, revealing that he should be handsome, but Zheng Chulan's expression only became more vigilant immediately after the initial stunned, seeing that the boy sighed, and then stretched out his hand in the direction of Zheng Chulan, seeing this, Zheng Chulan hurriedly tried to dodge in the narrow cage, Unexpectedly, the boy just stretched out his hand directly in the direction of the dry food and water, after the things were in his hand, he did not hesitate again, first poured the water down, and then stuffed the whole dry food in his mouth and chewed it hard, after seeing Zheng Chulan's puzzled eyes, he said in a somewhat vague voice:
"County Lord, this is what I deserve, after you left, I didn't meet Guo Lao again, and I don't know if you have the next body, but I know that death and betrayal are so painful, so, I promise you what you said at that time, everything will end here, you can live as you imagined, just remember to be careful to avoid them."
Zheng Chulan's cat's eyes instantly widened when she heard this, as if something flashed through her mind, not just where did the power come from, she reached out and grabbed the boy's collar, dragged him to her side, and asked eagerly with a somewhat uncertain voice and a little trembling:
"You, who are you?" But my heart is churning at this time, is that you? Could it be you?
"I'm Garneau." He tore the corners of his mouth and smiled quietly, laughing and laughing, he coughed violently, and then as if he had suffered some great pain, his whole body spasmed and convulsed, and bright red blood kept gushing out of his mouth, and the moment the spasms stopped, the person also completely softened.
"Gano. Gano. Suddenly, it seemed as if a strong wind was blowing through my mind, and what pictures kept flashing in my mind, but they were like old photos that had been cut up, appearing out of nowhere, and I didn't know how to piece them together.
"Two!"
"One!"
Looking at the result in front of him with satisfaction, the man's voice revealed the joy of his mood at the moment, "It's time~" The man's voice sounded again, "The rest of the people," he paused deliberately and continued, "No matter how many people are in the cage, they all pass." Then, with the uncontrollable cheers of some people, he continued, "But in the next test, if one dies, the living one will be buried with him, and he will suffer twice as much before he dies." However, I only need four people to live. ”
But all this could not be transmitted to Zheng Chulan's mind at this moment. She opened her eyes blankly, I don't know how long it took, someone probably walked over, but it seemed that there were some problems with his legs and feet, the steps were light and heavy, some dragging, and then the cage was opened, looking at a pair of big hands like old ginger with knotted muscles and bones opened the cage door, and the sunlight shone straight in, making people's pupils shrink suddenly, and then the five fingers of the hand were loosely placed on the boy's neck in a hook shape, but it could not make people question its strength.
"Huh?" He uttered a syllable with a little confusion,
"What's wrong?" As if to grasp something, Zheng Chulan still maintained his previous movements, and immediately asked, but at the same time, he lowered his head for some reason.
"He is still breathing, do you want the old man to help?" Something flashed quickly from the man's eyes, a good opportunity.
"Can you save him?" Zheng Chulan still lowered her head, and her flat tone didn't seem to be able to hear anything.
"Naturally he can't, but he naturally won't die." The man replied.
"Oh. So what will happen to him? ”
"Naturally, I was paralyzed, or stupid. Do you need the help of the old man? Otherwise, if he dies tomorrow, you will also die. ”
Zheng Chulan didn't answer again, just walked out of the cage, and when she got up, she could even hear the clicking sound between the bones, and when she looked down, it was a man of about forty or fifty years old, with a somewhat rickety body, a slightly dark face with pale facial features, some purple lips, and a dress that should have been gray was washed and a little white, she stretched out her finger and pointed to the corpses that were carried away from the cage and asked him:
"Where will they be sent?"
"Nature is in the garden."
"Take me there."
"Take him with you?"
Zheng Chulan didn't know what he was thinking, nodded, the man put Gano on his shoulder and Zheng Chulan walked in the direction of the group of people, and suddenly the man said:
"Since you want to make fertilizer, why don't you give him to the old man?"
Zheng Chulan didn't answer, just silently followed the group of people.
"Here we are." The man said,
Looking at the corpse in front of him that was casually thrown under the tree, Zheng Chulan turned around and pointed to the branch of a tree and said
"Can you help me put him on there?"
The man tilted his head a little differently, and finally said, "Okay." ”
Seeing that the man placed Jianuo firmly on the branch, Zheng Chulan said slowly,
"Not good." Then he walked forward before the man could react,
"No,,,, no,,, no," Zheng Chulan seemed to finally breathe a sigh of relief after turning over another corpse to see his face, it seems that she is not among these people, so it's okay, if that person didn't lie to himself, at least she was still alive, right.
Back under the tree, the man was still there, he said
"When you change your mind, just go here and call Uncle Zhong." Listening, Zheng Chulan just paused, didn't say anything, she slowly climbed up the tree, put Jianuo's hands and feet in place, and then hugged him quietly, is it a rebirth pill, or what, you can vaguely see the appearance of Jiano on this body, the same straight eyebrows outline a sharp angle, just like his arrow, Jianuo, I was wrong, forgive me for my selfishness and arrogance, this time I will believe you, and I will not lie to you again. Good luck with the rest of us, Xiaoqian, and I hope you are doing well.
