Chapter 36. Childhood memories begin to link slowly
Go back to the outside of that well. After I told everything I had just found in the well and the shadow and Xiao Qicai, before I could finish speaking, the shadow said lightly, "What you found has nothing to do with me." I'm just following orders and protecting you. ”
I deliberately said loudly to Xiao Qicai, "This thing is quite cold and arrogant!" Forget it, ignore her, we say ours. Then I pulled Xiao Qicai to the side and told me the rest of the story.
When I turned over the huge pebble and found a human head that was neither male nor female, I turned up the volume and said, "That human head's face looks like a thief, I think she should put a mask on her dead man's head or something, otherwise it will be so stumbling." Dare to come out and be scary! ”
Little Colorful poked me and whispered, "Why do you always target the shadows?" ”
I also replied in a low voice, "I'm not targeting her." It's just that I want her to teach me how to use the knife. ”
Xiao Qicai frowned, "If you want to, just say it, why do you have to use this method?" ”
I said, "What do you think of that kind of person, I just said, she can teach me?" This is called please will not be as good as excited! ”
……
When I walked back to the well, the shadow looked at me strangely. Almost every step I took, she glared at me. I deliberately said, "What are you looking at me like this?" I didn't say the dead man's head was you. ”
I understand the principle of accepting it when I see it, so I finished saying this, and quickly changed the topic to Xiao Qicai and said seriously, "After what happened just now, I think there are four strange things about this well, first. This well is only seven or eight meters deep, why was it made a bottomless well by that villager? Second. The reason why there is no water in this well is because there is no borehole under this well, and there is no source of water intake! In other words, the appearance of this well looks like a well, but the actual purpose is not the same as that of other ordinary wells! Third, we all saw Xiaomei jump into the well that day, but there was no Xiaomei's body at the bottom of the well. Fourthly, there is ash on the wall of this well, which is simply impossible, because the rainfall in the rainy village is very high, and it rains almost every day. How can it be dusted? And the humidity of the air here, and the well, seem to be two worlds entirely. ”
As soon as these questions were finished, the shadow "snorted" again and said nothing. But I could see that she was actually concerned about these issues, because she always glanced at me from time to time when she pretended to turn to look at the scenery elsewhere.
I think the shadow is also quite interesting, you can listen to it openly if you want to hear it, it's always mysterious, like a female thief!
Xiao Qicai frowned at this time and said, "Have you carefully inspected the bottom of the well?" You really didn't find any mechanisms like secret tunnels? ”
I thought about it for a while and said, "If Xiaomei really disappeared through the secret passage at the bottom of the well, I don't think the dark passage will be too complicated to make, because after Xiaomei's corpse transformation, she is just a walking corpse that can breathe, but has no thoughts of her own, how can she still find a very complicated secret passage?" So, if there is a secret path, I can already find it. ”
Xiao Qicai scratched her head and said, "What the hell is going on?" My IQ is a bit out of track. ”
The shadow couldn't help but come over at this time and said, "That's so mysterious, you can go down and see for yourself." ”
I rolled my eyes and said, "Don't you believe what I say?" ”
Shadow couldn't help but say, "You've had a lot of ideas since you were a child, if it wasn't for the ...... of playing Tibetan cats that time" Speaking of this, Shadow suddenly realized something and immediately shut up!
However......
I still instantly fell into the memory.
Brain cells are activated instantly, and two keywords are carefully searched in the mind: from childhood, peek-a-boo!
The appearance of a five- or six-year-old girl with upright features, a small black mole on her face, and a soft and weak five- or six-year-old girl, immediately came to my mind!
Yes, when I was very young, the conditions of my family were not very good, first it was a bungalow, and then I lived in one of those old-fashioned buildings. In those days, Xiao Qicai's parents and I both went to work, and Xiao Qicai's family handed Xiao Qicai to me and asked me to take her out to play!
At that time, the building we lived in was quite remote, and there were hardly any cars driving in (the number of cars at that time was not as large as it is now), so the only way for Xiao Qicai and I to have fun at that time was to play with the children of many other unit residents!
The so-called Tibetan cat is the name of the northerners. The colloquial name is actually this: hide and seek.
Because I was the oldest at the time, I usually went to arrest people and they came to hide. Among them, I remember another very weak little girl, who was the first to be caught by me every time. That girl's brain doesn't seem to be able to turn, she hides in the same place every time, and even if I catch her 800 times, she still can't use her brain.
Later I learned that the girl had a slight intellectual disability, and her parents divorced since she was a child, which hurt her a lot.
Until one time, when Little Colorful caught someone, I took the girl to hide, and we made a bet that if I could take her to hide for more than two hours, she would recognize me as a master!
The final result of that game was that Xiao Qicai searched for more than three hours, and finally cried urgently, and the girl and I slowly walked out of the darkness with a triumphant smile.
In fact, every time I recall this, I laugh out loud, because I always feel that I was bullying Xiao Qicai at that time. In fact, when I was drinking coffee at Xiao Qicai's house in the past, I talked about the past when I was a child, and Xiao Qicai would also talk about it. Every time he talks about it, he will stare at me and throw me a pillow or a teddy bear or something.
And when we were chatting at that time, I remember that I had occasionally mentioned the girl with a slight mental retardation a few times, but each time, Little Colorful seemed to turn to something else. I quickly left the girl behind me as well.
Could it be ......
The shadow in front of her is the girl with a mole on her face and a slight mental retardation?
What's her name?
After thinking about it for a long time, I still can't remember, the only thing I can remember is the picture of us hiding in the hallway, huddled in the dark. I vaguely remember asking her, "Why do you keep hiding in the same place?" ”
She replied, "Because I was found out on purpose." ”
"Why do you mean it?"
"Because...... I crave attention! ”
"Did your parents never care about you?"
"They have always only known how to play mahjong and play their own, and they have their own things, and few people care about me. Sometimes when I sleep at night, I'm scared, and I run to my neighbor's house, so ...... I crave to be cared for. ”
……
At that time, I had never experienced the loneliness and loneliness that the girl had experienced. However, now think about it, how much courage and perseverance it would take for that girl to withstand that boundless pressure and grow up in an unsupervised environment!
"Is that you?" I suddenly came back from my memory to reality. "Is there a beauty mole near your left chin?"
At that moment, I saw that the hand of the shadow holding the knife had a gentle swaying movement in mid-air. However, after I said that, the shadow's hand suddenly froze!
That seemed to represent my words, and it hit her heart directly!
You can't go wrong!
It had to be her!
It's just that, I'm sorry, I forgot your name because you have never been important in my life. At that time, you were just a passerby. In the future, you should also be a passerby.
However, there are many passers-by in your life who may reappear in your life at some time in the future. You feel like a passer-by for her, but maybe her memory of you is not!
At this point, the shadow looked away, ignored me, and walked away.
Xiao Qicai sighed slightly, and changed the subject, "Let's continue to talk about the well......
I also wanted to talk to Xiao Qicai, but I don't know why the words came to my lips and became, "Has her intelligence returned to a normal level?" Where did she go afterward? I remember that not long after that time of playing with the Tibetan cat, she was gone. Do you know where she went afterward? ”
Xiao Qicai's lips moved, and she looked away, and said, "That well ......"
I repeated, "Answer me! "There is a Dongba in the wood.
Xiao Qicai nodded subconsciously, I don't know if her action means that what I said is right, or whether it means that the girl, that is, the intelligence of the shadow, has returned to normal. But I think it should be both, otherwise how could Shadow have become such a terrible female assassin and female killer?
And just as I was talking to Little Colorful and I glanced at it, I suddenly found that the shadow had suddenly done something that surprised me and Little Colorful at the same time!
She actually started to slowly go down the well without the help of any tools!
The way the shadow went down the well was very special, and his two arms stretched out hard, against the east of the wall of the well. At the same time, her legs were stretched straight and held up to the west of the well wall.
That is to say, the shadow at this moment, with both hands and feet, supports the two directions of the well wall. Then, like a big earthworm, it slowly exerts force at the same time, like the bottom of the well "wriggling" away. Perhaps the word wriggling is not very appropriate, but at that time, the shadow did use the strength of her hands and feet to slowly jump down from the wall of the well, and she moved very fast, almost faster than I had just gone down with a rope!
It feels like you're practicing acrobatics like flying eaves and walking on the wall. But I know that if you go down the well in that position, you need a lot of arm and leg strength, and at the same time, you must also master your balance and endurance, otherwise you will fall directly to the bottom of the well at any time due to the lack of oxygen in the brain, causing breathing difficulties.
"What is she doing?" Xiao Qicai and I were talking as we hurried over and stole our eyes inside. However, after a while, the shadow had already used his strange posture to quickly descend to the bottom of the well. If you look inside, you can't see it clearly, and you must not believe what I said just now, so you should have searched under the bottom of the black hole hole.
