Mark was carrying a large bag, and Shuqing was carrying a black and white plastic bag, which could be seen to be full of clothes. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info They had reached the foot of Longmen Mountain, a smooth path with stone repair winding up in front of them, and then 20 meters up, turning down the side path to the path to Wanchang. It was a mountain road that was rarely walked. It doesn't look good. It's narrow and still on the edge of a cliff.

"You can go back. Mark looked back at Shuqing, who was already out of breath, and spoke.

Shuqing shook her head, and she turned around and sat down on a stone on the side of the road. He took out a handkerchief from his bag and wiped the fine beads of sweat from his forehead.

"No, I promised your father that he would deliver you to your grandmother. Her voice was staccato when she spoke. Seems to be exhausted.

Mark looked at her and sat down next to her. He stretched out his hand and pointed ahead, "Do you see that? It used to be easy to walk, but now there are big roads and tricycles, and almost no one takes this road anymore. Last year, it rained heavily and ruined a section, did you see that?"

Shuqing nodded, in fact, she didn't see anything clearly. But she nodded.

"It's okay, I can walk over. She puffed up her chest and said solemnly.

Mark looked at her. I couldn't help but laugh out loud. At this time, a tricycle drove past the large highway next to them, and the car was driving very slowly, as if waiting for Mark to wave it to stop.

"We were able to ride a tricycle. Mark watched the tricycle drive farther and farther away, and as it was about to drive out of their sight, it accelerated. "We can't catch up, though. He sighed.

Shuqing also looked at the tricycle, and she sighed after him. Then he turned to look at Mark.

"Let's go, let me see how hard the road is. Shuqing said as she stood up, patting the dust off her buttocks. All the way through, he was covered in mud and dust. She looked at the trail in front of her, the road was indeed well repaired, and it was no longer difficult to climb. Thinking about the past, she and Mr. Curly Hair, hey~ are all in the past.

"You're sad! Why?" Mark stood up as well, looking up at Shuqing.

"I feel like I've lived most of my life, as if I've lived in vain. Shuqing looked down at him and smiled slightly.

"Why did you live in vain?"

"Because—because I'm trying to see something famous in the path I've walked. ”

"You don't see that?"

Shuqing shook her head.

"If I see it, I might know what to do next, and maybe I'll find a little pattern in it. ”

"You can remember all the roads you've walked. ”

"Oh, of course, kid, I remember. I remember every road I walked. ”

Mark pondered for a moment. And then said.

"Well, I also remember, you look at this road, I walked with my mother once when I was very young, and we went to my second aunt's house for the New Year. I walked through it once, but it was very clear in my mind, where there were rocks, where there were potholes, where there might be sinking. I know. My mom walked in front, and as she went, she tested her feet and she told me, let me remember. The next time you go, you'll be able to take it easy! Because you know where to go. ”

"Yes, Mark. You are very smart. ”

"My dad said my mom was overbroken because of my brother's death. ”

"Oh, every mom can't stand this kind of thing. ”

"But I know she's not. It was my mother who strangled my brother to death. I saw it~" Mark didn't look up at Shuqing, he was concentrating on walking on the mountain path. The tone was calm, as if to say something that had nothing to do with him.

Shuqing stopped, her gray eyes were open at the moment, and she couldn't believe that Mike was talking about his mother so calmly. This kid is not simple. "Mark is different from other kids, he has a lot of tolerance, he never tells me what he really thinks. The kids beat him every day, but he never told me. He didn't want to say. Sometimes I was really worried about him. Ma Daquan's voice echoed loudly in Shuqing's mind. This kid is not simple.

"Oh, oh, I think- she must be-"

Mark stopped suddenly, and he turned to look at the old woman who was following him with a solemn expression. He stared at her for a moment. Then he said slowly:

"You adults think we don't understand anything, and we always make up lies. Lie to think that lies can protect our young hearts, but in fact you are all wrong. Letting us accept reality early is what protects us. ”

Shuqing was shocked for a moment and didn't know what to say, she just looked at him with incredible eyes. Seeing that she didn't speak, Mark turned away again. He used the branches he had broken on the side of the road to cut through the wildflowers and weeds that blocked the way. A wet dirt road was revealed, and the morning dew wet his shoes.

"Mark-I-"

"Yesterday is gone, tomorrow is coming, that's the truth. Mark interrupted Shuqing's words, and he walked with his head buried in the front, stopping from time to time to see if the road ahead was solid with his feet.

Shuqing thought that she didn't need to say anything, she just needed to be a listener at the moment, this child must have never said so much.

"Actually, there was a time when I thought Leon had killed my brother and driven my mom crazy. I've seen him before. ”

"Who?"

"Leon. ”

"Haven't you heard of him? Dad said you're a local, and your parents and my grandparents are very nice. ”

"Yes, they are good. ”

"Then you didn't listen to them tell you about the man who was tied up and burned to death in the Valley of the Dead by the villagers of Longmen in 1920 - Leon. ”

"Oh, I've heard, that's a very bad guy. is a madman. ”

"They said he was going to eat people, to eat women's stomachs. Because he believes that women should not have children. So he killed the women of the village and ate their stomachs. The kids in town know about him, and the grown-ups always make up some better stories to cover it up. ”

"Where did you hear about this?"

"That old man at the junkyard. ”

"Dude?"

"No, it's the old man before him. The one who committed suicide. The old man who hanged himself in the ghost forest with a white cloth. ”

She had heard about Leon, she only knew that the man was very bad, a murderer, and was later caught and tied up in the Valley of the Immortals and burned alive, and I heard that it burned for a whole day and a night. And the screams of that villain echoed in the valley for a month. But the garbage dump committed suicide, the old man didn't commit suicide, he pooped himself and fell into the pit and drowned. I heard that I drank too much.

"Didn't that old man drown in a pit when he pooped because he drank too much?"

"Maybe!"

"Have you ever been to the Ghost Forest?"

"Been there. ”

"Have you been??"

"Yes. (To be continued.) )
