Lu Lie closed his eyes and rubbed his temples vigorously. Everything that happened in front of him caught him off guard, and no matter how smart he was, he couldn't sort out the chaos.

When he opened his eyes, he suddenly felt that something had changed in front of him. An inexplicable chill penetrated from the soles of his feet, only penetrating into his internal organs and lungs. Lu Lie shouted Su Wen beside him twice, but there was no sound to answer him. He turned his head and found that the corner where Su Wen had stayed was empty.

Su Wen was right under his nose and disappeared.

The back wall of this small temple is so big in total, the moment Lu Lie turned around, Su Wen was so big that he was gone, no matter whether the other party was abducted by something that suddenly appeared, or he slipped away quietly, it was not true. But this impossible thing was established, and the big living person evaporated around him.

Lu Lie stood up and shouted Su Wen's name twice. He put on his coat and rushed into the small temple, rummaging inside and out, only to pick up the ground and find it, but no trace of Su Wen could be found no matter what.

His face was gloomy, and he walked slowly back to the back wall of the small temple. Up to now, I can only hope that Su Wen, the little girl, is playing some prank with him, Lu Lie even fantasized that as soon as he left here with his front foot, Su Wen with his back foot came out of a blind corner that he couldn't see, and scolded himself for being a fool with a smile.

But even that last glimmer of hope was dashed.

On the back wall of the small temple, only the fresh human bones that had just been dug up by him were still lying there quietly.

Lu Lie hadn't accepted the fact that "he buried a corpse here seven years ago" in his heart, and Su Wen beside him disappeared beside him so abruptly. For a moment, he only felt that there were ghosts and rumors all around him. Every breath I take, it's as if someone is eavesdropping silently in the dark.

He was angry to the extreme, confused to the extreme, and terrified to the extreme.

The small dark temple still stood silently in the darkness, but at this moment, it had truly become a devouring beast in a sense. Liu Laosi was eaten by it, Su Wen was eaten by it, and who will be next.

Lu Lie didn't know how he got home.

By the time he got home, it was almost dawn. Lu Lie had just pushed open the door, and to his surprise, his parents had not slept all night, just sitting at the window waiting for him.

When the middle-aged strong man saw that he was back, he stood up with bloodshot eyes, obviously worried about the abnormality. He was just about to open his mouth to ask something, but his mother stopped him with a look, turned his head and said softly to Lu Lie: "Ah Lie, what have you done outside? It will take so long? Come, sit, and talk to your mother." ”

Lu Lie was still in a dream, he sat among his parents, and told him about meeting Su Wen from the next village by the small bridge, going with her to the temple he used to go to when he was a child, worshipping the Blood Buddha, meeting Liu Laosi, and so on. As he spoke, he also recalled these things in his heart. The more I reflected, the more I felt that the things I encountered this night were incredible, and all kinds of illogical things, I am afraid that let alone the second person, even as a person who experienced it, still did not believe it.

When he finished speaking, his father and mother's faces turned much paler. The mother still made a gesture to stop the father who wanted to ask questions, and she said to Lu Lie as softly as she could, "So...... Eventually, you dug up a white skeleton behind the small temple, and at the same time as you dug it up, Su Wen, who had been following you, was gone, right? ”

"There's nothing wrong with that. Lu Lie nodded affirmatively, "Mom, what should we do now?" I want to go to Sujia Village immediately, tell her parents about this matter, and mobilize the manpower of the two villages to go to Suwen with mountains and forests...... And what's going on with that white skeleton buried in the ground? Should we report it to the government?"

According to Lu Lie's temperament in his seven-year dream, he naturally couldn't care about such a nameless corpse that died in the wilderness. After all, in his previous life, there were soldiers and soldiers, and his bones were thousands of miles, and if he really had such a Holy Mother heart in charge, then he would not be able to live to this day.

But now that he has woken up and lived in this paradise-like peaceful mountain village, Lu Lie naturally feels that he should also follow the customs. The death of a person is naturally an earth-shattering event for a small village with a small population. If you choose not to report it at this time, when the government investigates it, I am afraid that it will also affect your parents.

Lu Lie ...... Are you really sure you've seen it all with your own eyes...... You wouldn't have fallen asleep while wandering outside and had a dream. ”

But until this time, the middle-aged man still looked unhurried and impatient, looked at Lu Lie, and emphasized the word "with his own eyes".

Lu Lie smiled bitterly in his heart: When encountering such a confusing thing, it is no wonder that his parents don't believe it. He met his parents' puzzled eyes, nodded vigorously, and said categorically: "Whether it's a dream or not, I can naturally tell." All of this is definitely something I saw with my own eyes. ”

After the middle-aged man heard Lu Lie's assurance, suddenly, he let out a long sigh, as if he was ten years old. There was disappointment and despair in his eyes.

Lu Lie was a little surprised: "What, don't you believe everything I said? Do you think I came here for half a day just to make up a boring lie to deceive you?" He became a little emotional and stood up from the bed, "Come, you come with me." I'll take you to the temple, and I'll take you to see the white bone ...... now."

"Alie, you don't have to be naturally excited...... You are our son, and we naturally believe in you. Just ......"

Mother made a gesture to signal Lu Lie's emotions to calm down.

The two parents looked at each other, and the mother whispered in the father's ear, "Why don't you ...... Just tell him. ”

Father slowly pulled out a pipe from under the bed, lit it, and took a hard puff. He was silent for a long time: "If you want to say it, you still say it...... I, I don't want to say it. ”

Mother looked at Lu Lie again, but this time her eyes were full of determination and perseverance. Lu Lie was a little indignant and a little annoyed. He wasn't a fool either, and he could see the meaning of that look in the couple's eyes. He just hated why they just didn't want to believe in themselves, obviously as long as he went to the back of the temple and walked up, took a look, and found out if what he said was true or false. Why do they just have no intention of going at all......

But the next mother's words completely shattered all of Lu Lie's hopes. As if stretching out a pair of hands on the edge of the abyss and pushing him down:

"Are. Have you forgotten? Su Wen, the little girl from the neighboring village...... Three years ago, he died. ”
