Chapter 9: A Man's Decision
I looked at this young man carefully, I didn't know him, a person I didn't know, what was looking for me?
"I am, is there something wrong with you?" I asked him.
He snorted, and suddenly slapped me in the face with his backhand, and then said coldly, "Shirui... Do you remember? ”
I was about to lose my temper when I heard the word Shirui, and I was instantly anxious, so I grabbed his clothes and asked urgently, "Do you know Shirui?" Where is she now? How's it going? ”
He opened my hand and said with a look of disgust, "Don't touch me." Shirui is your victim, and your whole village has to pay the price. ”
After speaking, he turned his head and left, how could I have the heart to listen to that, all I was thinking about at the moment was Shirui. So I ran towards him quickly, trying to catch up with him, and at first I found that no matter how fast I ran, I couldn't catch up with him, and the distance between the two of us remained about five meters.
"What the hell is going on with Shirui now! Can you tell me what's going on with Shirui? I shouted behind him in a hoarse voice.
But he ignored me and kept going.
I was in a hurry and shouted desperately behind him, "I don't even have the right to know!" Why! ”
Hearing this, he stopped, slowly turned his head, and said coldly: "You are a waste, how do you know?" You know what to do? Coward. ”
Hearing this, I immediately froze in place, he was right, I am a waste, incapable, not even courageous, how do I know? I know, so what can I do? Watching Shirui suffer?
I don't even have the courage to face her face, how do I know?
"What she suffered today, all of you in the village will be repaid tenfold and hundredfold, including your grandfather!" With that, he strode away. He seemed to walk slowly, but he shrunk to an inch, and disappeared from my sight in the blink of an eye.
I squatted weakly on the ground, not knowing what to do. His words woke me up completely.
"Surnamed Zhou, are you sitting here blocking the way?" At this moment, someone suddenly scolded behind me, and when I looked back, I found that there were few young people left in our village, Wang Mou.
In the past, when my grandfather was still in the village, he followed my ass every day and called me far brother, and then my grandfather had an accident, and he was more cruel than anyone who bullied me.
At the moment, he was looking at me with a cigarette in his mouth and a smile.
I gritted my teeth and stood up from the ground, walked in front of him step by step, and said through gritted teeth: "Now that you are a cow, so many people have died in the village, why are you like a turtle with a shrunken head?" You are such a cow, you go to exorcise ghosts, you go to save the people in the village! What are you pretending to be with me! ”
The more I talked, the more excited I became, and at the end, I slapped him hard in the face!
Wang Mou was stunned, then threw the cigarette on the ground, and scolded angrily: "Wipe your mother, I killed you today!" ”
With that, he punched me and the two of us immediately fought.
I was already pampered and didn't have much strength, and where was his opponent, I was pressed to the ground by him in a short time.
The more I beaten, the more I wanted to cry, and the more I was beaten, the more I thought of Shirui, if Shirui was there, even if she was a ghost, she would definitely kill Wang Mou.
Finally, I sat on the ground and cried, not because of the pain, but because of my cowardice, my incompetence.
"Grass, cry a few times, hit you twice and cry, you're not a man." Wang Mou scolded and hurriedly walked away.
I got up from the ground and went home crying, and when I got to the door, I wiped away my tears and went home as if nothing was wrong.
I didn't have the heart to eat at night, and what the man in black said kept lingering in my mind. Lying in bed, I couldn't sleep, and all I thought about was Shirui.
"Zhou Yuan, what are you thinking?" At this moment, a voice suddenly appeared next to me, and I turned my head to look, and found that it was Shirui!
"Shirui?" I was stunned for less than half a second, then hugged her tightly in my arms, and kept shouting: "Shirui, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's all my fault, you forgive me, I was wrong......"
"Hey, hey... You're wrong? So why don't you die? Shirui's coquettish voice rang in my ears.
My body suddenly cooled, and I hurriedly stepped back. At this time, Shirui's hair flew up, and although I couldn't see her face clearly under the backlight, I still knew that it was no longer the face that captivated the country and the city.
"Ahh
I yelled, only to find out that it was just a dream.
I patted my chest, and the cold sweat on my forehead kept falling.
On the second night, Shirui reappeared at my bedside, and in my dream she was still beautiful and beautiful, but I didn't have the courage to face her.
I'm sorry for her, if I did it again, I wouldn't have watched Shirui be taken away by the hairy Taoist priest and that old man!
The people in the village died one after another, the villagers ran and fled, and in the blink of an eye, our village became the second "Silent Village". But Shirui appeared in my dreams every night, and we got married in my dreams, had children, agreed to grow old together, and lived a happy life.
I don't even want to wake up again, I want to live in a dream.
However, there was always a voice in my heart shouting, and I couldn't hear what he was saying, only one shout after another.
Finally, I heard the cry from my heart clearly: this is just a dream, the real Shirui, who is suffering at the hands of the Taoist priest.
I opened my mouth for a moment, and the incomprehensibly beautiful Shirui at this time turned into that hideous and terrifying face again.
"Do you still love me now?"
"I love you." I looked at the unrecognizable Shirui with a firm look, "No matter what you look like, I love you, and I will never leave you." ”
After saying that, I hugged Shirui tightly into my arms.
Shirui in the dream froze for a moment when she heard my words, as if she had exhausted her strength, and her hideous face slowly dissipated, and finally turned into the face that captivated the country and the city.
Then, her body slowly dissipated like a mist, and I called her name, but I couldn't stop her from leaving, and I just watched her dissipate in front of me little by little.
The next morning, I suddenly figured it out, and I knew that it was just a dream, and the real Shirui was still suffering at the hands of the old man and the Taoist priest. At this time, the young man in black appeared at the door of my house again.
His eyes were still cold, and he only said one sentence after seeing me: "Do you want to save Shirui." ”
I nodded vigorously.
He sneered: "Aren't you afraid that Shirui will want to kill you and harm you?" ”
"I'm not afraid!" I said with a determined look in my eyes.
"Humph!" He snorted coldly, "To tell you the truth, don't think that Shirui likes you, the reason why she is close to you is because you have what she needs!" And the reason why she didn't kill you was because of the mark left on you by that old immortal, she just wanted to slowly gain your trust and then kill you! Now, do you still want to save her? ”
"I'm going to save her." I took a deep breath, "Although I feel very sad and sad to hear these words, I know that I love her, even if she is really as you say, for her, I am willing." ”
"Hahaha!" The young man in black laughed, "Good, good!." If you really plan to save her, wait for me at the foot of the back mountain at twelve o'clock tonight! ”
With that, he quietly left.
I took a deep breath and made up my mind that no matter what happened tonight, I was going to go! I don't want to stay in this small mountain village and be a coward for the rest of my life, I have to bear the responsibility for what I have done wrong.
Back inside, I asked my parents to pack some clothes for me and told them I was going to work in the city.
Before leaving, I looked at my elderly parents, bowed to them three times, and walked towards the back mountain with my burden on my back.
At twelve o'clock in the morning, it is the cloudy time of the day, and at the foot of the mountain is the lowest place in the whole village. I don't know where the young man in black came from, but I'm sure he's not an ordinary person, or rather, he's not human.
However, as long as I come to save Shirui, it is a friend and not an enemy, and there is no other way for me to do it.
Instead of living in self-blame for the rest of your life, it's better to fight!
