356 Flower Diction and his old sister
"After that, the road will be taken by the big flowers, if you want to find me, go to the top of the mountain, and you can climb for two or three hours." Yin Lanruo pointed in a direction.
Song Mo stared at the highest mountain, as well as the obvious buildings on the top of the mountain, "That's too troublesome." ”
It is estimated that people are tired and paralyzed when they climb up.
Yin Lanruo just crossed her arms, "So you'd better not have anything to look for me." ”
"Because once you find her, it means that it is a big thing that is difficult to solve." Su Huaisheng ruthlessly said the voice of the tsundere.
Yin Lanruo, who was exposed, blushed, "Don't interrupt me." ”
"Anyway, you guys have a good rest at Dahua's house." She explained casually, carrying Su Huaisheng and walking away.
"Let's go, my house still has a long way to go, and my sister should be ready when I get home." Hua Ci helped carry the things and led the four of them along the road to their homes.
From afar, you can see the scenery of the island, a large area of neat farmland, scattered houses, and a quiet and comfortable mountain village.
"Dahua, why did you bring so many people here?" A woman with a hoe and a straw hat walked by and said hello.
She wore a pair of straw sandals with trousers rolled up below her knees and a half-worn white towel around her neck, typical of a farmer's family.
"Aunt Lian." Hua Ci called people, "Those from outside the island live with me temporarily." ”
"Your home is spacious, and it's not wrong to live there. There are newcomers on the island, and it is more lively. She got out of her field and got to work.
The East Peninsula is a lot of plains, with abundant water sources, and most of the residents are mainly engaged in farming, which is quite rural.
Like Aunt Lian, who makes a living from farming, a few people saw more than a dozen of them when they passed through the ridges.
Song Mo walked all the way down, and suddenly felt like he had come to a paradise.
The houses on the island are also old-fashioned houses with wooden structures, as are the Sycamores.
The windows are not open, the room is pitch black, the floor on the first floor is not very flat, and there are many limb-shaped objects hanging from the ceiling, as well as human heads, which look very weird.
"Suddenly I feel like I'm in a horror movie...... "The hairs on Song Mo's back exploded.
Zhuo Ruolian didn't speak, consciously blocked in front of her, staring vigilantly at the back of Hua Ci.
If you turn your head later, you might have a strange face.
"Erya! Why don't you turn the lights on? Hua Ci shouted at the back room.
His voice was quite bright, and the sense of terror just now disappeared in an instant.
As the warm yellow light in the room turned on, Song Mo could see clearly the things hanging from the roof.
Those were the arms of the puppets, and they were extremely realistic, with a half-length puppet hanging from the middle of the arms, staring down with dark eyes.
It's scary not to turn on the lights, and even more scary to turn on the lights.
"Don't be afraid, I made these things myself, because there was a little flaw and I was reluctant to throw them, and the ceiling here was a little ugly, so I used it as a decoration."
Song Mo took a closer look at the hanging wires, and sure enough, he saw some brownish-red stains on the wooden ceiling.
This weird color is even more scary, okay?
"Erya, is this your sister?" She swept to the switch in the room.
There was indeed a female figure on the side of the switch that looked somewhat similar to Hua Ci, but the obvious joints on her wrists and knuckles told her that it was a doll.
It is very likely that the person who turned on the light just now was this puppet.
Mom, this is the old house in a horror movie!
Song Mo was already frightened by his own brain and turned white.
The beautiful doll rolled its eyes slightly, and walked over like a living person without any mechanical sense.
"Introduction, this is my sister, Hua Yan, it's okay to call Erya or Erhua." Flower words leaning against the doll.
The earthy name dispelled a bit of horror.
"My sister and I are dragon and phoenix fetuses, but my sister was gone as soon as she was born, and the body of this puppet was made for her by me, which is a resting place for the soul." The rhetoric explained.
Probably because of the connection between the twins, he has a sense of contact with his sister, who was poisoned by the source crystal toxin at birth, and he can also see some things that ordinary people can't see.
For example, next to the innocent-looking young man, a somewhat vague female figure with beautiful flowers painted on the hem of his coat was quietly waiting aside.
That woman must have cared about this young man very much before she died, so she would always follow him after she died.
"Don't be too afraid, this puppet is similar to a nanny robot made by people from outside the island-" Hua Ci comforted everyone.
The next second, his calf was kicked by the puppet.
It seems that the puppet is angry with the word nanny.
"What a sister who doesn't give face to her brother at all." Song Mo has completely accepted this strange setting.
"Erya, you bring the meal to the table, and I'll take them to the second floor to see where they live."
The room on the second floor is much more rustic than the one on the first floor, but the creaking sound of the wooden planks is still a little oozing.
The bed prepared by Huaci is not luxurious, but a simple steel frame folding bed is put on a soft cushion, which is considered a sleeping place.
"After a few people have rested, let's follow Aunt Lian and them to work tomorrow, you can go up the mountain to pick or go down to the field to plow."
"Is it a part-time job to pay rent?" Song Mo understood.
"That's right, if you don't work, you won't have anything to eat, it's very simple." Hua Ci sent them the key to the house, "Put it away, and you will return it to me when you leave the island." ”
Downstairs, Hua Yan had already prepared the meal, half of the rice in the bowl, the other half was the puree of root vegetables, and the side dishes were also wild vegetable soup that could be seen everywhere.
It may not be delicious, but it must be filling.
"I also lack someone to fight on my side, you can also choose to join me." Hua Ci held the bowl in his right hand and ate quickly.
"Are you sure we won't be able to help?" Fang Xing was puzzled.
"If you don't do it well, you will have your food deducted, and if you accidentally step on the seedlings...... Understand? "Rhetoric threatened.
For those who live on crops, the consequences of fewer seedlings are severe.
"But you don't look stupid enough to make a big mistake, don't worry too much." Flowers comforted.
The four nodded in understanding.
West Peninsula.
Ophelia returns to the island with a patrol team.
"Coming back?" The chief captain, Claude, stepped forward to greet him, "How did you feel about your first inspection?" ”
"Except for a boat on the East Peninsula, no dangerous people approached." She shook her arm.
Last month, there was a big incident in the Western Peninsula, and even patrols with lighthouses were stepped up several times.
"Eastern Peninsula?" Claude was curious.
"Yes, the ship of the East Peninsula Stargazing Observatory, with three outsiders on board. I think it's suspicious, why don't we ask for instructions and go over the mountain to take a look? ”
Ophelia felt the need to be responsible, and not let go of the slightest suspicion.
With her serious and demanding character, Claude knew that he couldn't stop her, "In this case, then you can go to the Inquisition and apply to have a look." ”
This chapter is again the author's strange and nasty earthy name and strange setting
buried some details to do the foreshadowing of the later story, and found it thick myself, so I won't spoil it.
