Chapter 299: Why Did You Come Back?
The world seen by the eyes of a human and the eyes of a monster is not the same.
The process of acting with humans reminds monsters of this all the time.
The black shadows in Bai Su's eyes, why he called them black shadows instead of imprints and the like was because they were dynamic.
As if alive, shadows that appear to float slightly on the surface of the human face are constantly swimming, from upstream to bottom in the area of the left cheek, like a restless, smudged mass of ink.
Occasionally, a black shadow will climb up to the place of the eyes, and the young man will squint his eyes, probably feeling uncomfortable.
If the shadow climbs any further, it will stagnate at the forehead, as if hanging, and the large mass will condense in front of the forehead, almost merging with the roots of the hair, and the small mass will hang down heavily, like a puddle of mud that has been splashed on the top of the head.
This is the movement on the face of the human youth that Bai Su observed in the courtyard of the birthday family.
But in the eyes of human beings, these pictures are fixed.
Bai Su checked with the humans, and in their eyes, the black marks on the young man's face looked like scars or birthmarks.
However, the shapes that Tang Nuo and Qi Zhuyue saw were different.
"Huh?" Qi Zhuyue shouted in surprise, "It's not a piece...... Does it look like sliding paint? ”
"Nope." Donno frowned, "It's boxy, it doesn't look like it's naturally formed." ”
The two looked at each other for a while, and then turned their heads to look at Bai Su in unison.
The staring Bai Su tilted his head, not understanding what the humans were looking at.
Tang Nuo wanted to tell Bai Su to tell all the differences, but after thinking about it, it was difficult to cover everything unless he put their perspectives together for others to observe.
The thought that crossed Donno's mind flashed through him, and he finally gave up.
No longer bothering about the state of the black shadow on the face of the young man they are about to visit, anyway, we will know when we meet again.
Over there, the little girl finally knocked on the door of what she called "Brother Xuanxuan".
The lonely house stands there, not like the grandiose, homely feeling in the middle of the village, but more of a living space.
Yard...... It can also be said that there is no yard, because a fence made of a few logs is hastily fenced, and a piece of land is hastily fenced, and something is planted in the field.
The range is small and has room for one person only.
The shape of the wood also resembles some of the most primitive versions of the fence in infrastructure survival games, the wood is rough-cut and not completely hammered into the ground, and it looks like a beast can be torn down if it passes by.
But are there really other wildlife in the mountains?
The door opened inward, and three-quarters of the way open, and the young man, who had not returned home for a short time, stood at the door.
He heard a familiar voice, hesitated to open the door, and finally relented and prevailed.
However, the door opened, and his sister, who was close to him, saw it, but the black-haired young man who followed behind his sister was not what he expected.
Almost at a glance, the young man wanted to close the door again.
Predator ...... It's the breath of a predator.
The feeling flashed so quickly that it seemed that the palpitating fear was the delusion of youth.
The black-haired young man was still standing there, his breath was shallow, and a polite smile was raised on his face.
"Hello." Bai Su's eyes were slightly bent, "I was at the back door of that courtyard just now." ”
Because I don't know the specific name of the owner of the house, the whole village has the surname Wen, which is very troublesome to refer to.
The black-haired young man stretched out his hand to support the door, and continued, "I think I hit you off at first sight, can I go in and talk?" ”
That being said, the power in Bai Su's hands didn't give people any room for refusal at all.
With a press of his hand, he gently pushed the door open, and when the door was wide enough, he beckoned behind him with the posture of a master, and motioned for the two to follow together.
Human beings are a little speechless, who is the owner of the house?
The young man and the little girl were not happy, but the ineffective resistance obviously could not stop the White Girl from entering.
Actually, the young man could, but he wouldn't do it at this time.
Bai Su's gaze skimmed over the little girl in front of him who was holding his neckline, and then smiled at the young man before he began to scan the room.
It was a humble setting, with a bed, a table, a chair, and a bookshelf and storage cabinet made by himself against the wall, except for a picture framed in the corner of the wall, covered with dusty cloth, which was not hung on the wall.
A small door opens on the left side of the room, which simply divides the room into two halves, and a curtain hanging from the ceiling obscures most of the scene on the left.
I could barely see a basin in the distance from below, and a few clothes were piled up in the basin.
The little girl struggled twice in Bai Su's hands, and she wanted to run towards the young man, but she was controlled in place.
It may be that she has found someone to rely on, the little girl with developed tear ducts did not brew tears this time, and shouted in a low voice with the momentum of the big yellow dog like yesterday: "Brother Xuanxuan! Save me! ”
The wariness on the face of the young man who was shouted by the little girl had not yet subsided, and he was like a beast that had invaded his territory, always facing the others in the room.
When the little girl saw that the young man ignored her, she waved her hands and feet again, and shouted again.
The young man was called back to his senses, and he moved his mouth: "This ...... Can you put Ah Hong down? ”
Bai Su seemed to realize that he was still holding someone in his hand, and his fingers were loosened.
The girl, who was not very high off the ground, landed and shook twice, and immediately ran forward after standing firmly, and the milk swallow threw herself on the young man's lap like a forest.
She thought she had found someone to lean on, and complained about what had just happened to her in what she thought was quiet.
Unfortunately, the room is so big, and the echo is quite obvious.
However, the outsider did not interrupt at this moment, so the little girl finished speaking smoothly, she hugged the young man's legs, and pulled the corner of the young man's clothes.
"Brother Xuanxuan...... Brother! ”
“…… Ah, what? ”
The young man, who was a few beats slower, glanced at the outsider, then looked down absentmindedly and made eye contact with the girl in his hand.
Bai Su and the others, who still didn't know their full names, were soon asked by the little girl to do one thing - to help her find the big yellow dog.
It doesn't seem to be the first time this has happened, the little girl's dog is often lost, and the young man is accustomed to coming down.
"Wait a minute, I'll show you ...... now"
The unfinished words got stuck in his throat, and the young man's eyes widened in surprise.
How could it be...... How could you not find it?
The young man's eyes were full of doubt, and soon, he controlled his expression.
It's not that there haven't been cases where the big yellow dog runs away without a shadow or even feels it, but it doesn't matter, and then again-
"Ah Hong." The young man glanced at them, and a comforting smile appeared on his face, but it was a little far-fetched, "It's not convenient for you to find it now, I have a ...... here There are guests. ”
Let's call Bai Su and the others who broke in without permission as guests, and the young people took the weaker side.
"Can you go back first?" The young man advised, "Rhubarb will go back in the evening." ”
When the girl heard this time in the evening, she tilted her head and asked, "Will my brother help me find it?" Oh well......"
The girl's tone was full of regret, and her gaze glanced back from time to time.
Obviously, she also knew who caused the young man to be unable to get out at this time.
After understanding the girl's intentions and accepting her request, the young man wanted to send people away, at least not in front of this group of outsiders, and the nervousness that had palpitations in front of him had not completely subsided.
The black-haired young man, who was being paid special attention to and frightened children, tilted his head, and just followed the humans to the side.
Bai Su also stretched out his hand, and spread his palm upward, expressing a gesture of please.
…… Who is the owner of the house?
For the second time, those present had such feelings.
When the young man sent the girl to the intersection not far away, he took into account that there were still three strangers in the house that could barely be called home, and he turned back before he was too far away.
The young man who re-entered the house was holding a doll of the fish that the girl had been holding, and the girl gave it to the young man as a thank you gift.
Without the presence of human cubs to reconcile, the atmosphere in the room became much more awkward for a while.
Seeing that Bai Su was about to speak, Qi Zhuyue, who felt a little uncomfortable, hurriedly interrupted him and took the first step to say, "Hello! That's what we're ......."
It's always a good idea to introduce yourself first, you can't stiffen the relationship anymore, and they're not here to kick the door!
Bai Su, who was robbed, had no opinion, he sat down on the only two chairs in the room, and watched Qi Zhuyue socialize there.
Perhaps it was Wen Tao's identity that carried the bonus of his own natural person, and the young man was a little relieved after listening to Qi Zhuyue introduce the names of himself and his companions.
The vigilance is still there, but there is a bit of indescribable emotion in his eyes.
The young man named Wen Rongxuan thought about it for a while, and looked at Qi Zhuyue for a long time, as if he was confirming the identity of the other party's Wenjia Village.
The confirmation took a bit long, but in the end, Wen Rongxuan's eyebrows were still soothed, and he said to Qi Zhuyue very sadly: "Since you have already left here, why do you want to come back?" ”
Qi Zhuyue's heart jumped when she heard this, she tasted something from this sentence, but because of the identity she played, she said puzzledly: "I'm coming back to save my relatives." ”
"Because I haven't been back for a long time, my relatives sent me an invitation, and I ......"
"Why did you come back?" Wen Rongxuan repeated this sentence, his gaze changed from sorrow to sadness, "If you leave, you shouldn't come back." ”
"That...... May I ask ......" Qi Zhuyue found that the young man was trapped in his own world.
The young man with a shadow on his left face muttered this sentence repeatedly, and the thoughts that had already been dispersed did not know what he was thinking, and a strong sad aura emanated from his body.
When humans saw the shadow on their faces, they felt uneasy and wanted to stay away.
The young man lowered his head, and his hair, which was too long and uncut for a long time, fell down, covering a small part of his face, covering his eyes, and only a little black tail hanging from his left cheek.
"You!"
Wen Rongxuan, who was suddenly withdrawn from his memories, took a step forward and grabbed Qi Zhuyue's arm at a speed that ordinary people couldn't react to.
The shadowy young man raised his head, and he said, "While you haven't stayed in this village for too long...... If you can, please get out of here! ”
Wen Rongxuan uttered the words of the request.
……
On the other hand, time goes back a while.
The duo, one large and one small, are roaming the village.
Because there was no one to lead them, they just wandered around, going around without any purpose, and were reminded that some places could not be gone and changed routes, looking very obedient.
The two walked and stopped, gradually moving away from the center of the village.
Obscured by the shape of an adult, the young man observes and thinks with his head propped up, and after a while he finds the place he saw in his dream.
"It should be here." Gao Tianyi pointed to a location that was blocked by the courtyard.
The courtyard wall is not high, and it looks like it has been stopped at random, but it is also a private territory, and if they want to go in, they will be found to be trespassing on a private house.
"Do you want to go from here?" Xia Chengyin took a look and felt that it was not impossible to turn over, and it was no problem to carry Gao Tianyi, at most, he was found and chased and beaten.
Unexpectedly, the young man shook his head: "It's not from here, it's just ...... Just 'Wen Tao' followed the forest path that her friends walked. ”
That being said, but now looking at the leafy trees outside this direction, you may get lost when you go in, and it will be difficult to run.
Xia Chengyin: "That? ”
Gao Tianyi: "There is still a right way, I'll look for it." ”
One large and one urinated away from where they had been standing, allowing the villagers who had come to see out of curiosity to reassure themselves to retract their gaze.
After that, the inch-headed police officer, who used his 100% reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance capabilities, took the teenager around him to avoid all the sights he could observe, hiding behind the house, behind the trunk of a tree.
Anyway, I hid all the way and finally came to the outside of the village.
"I'm so tired." Gao Tianyi, who was carried halfway through, complained, "Fortunately, there are only two of us." ”
Xia Chengyin listened, and showed with his eyes that it was obviously himself who was tired.
Either way, out of the confines of the village, they can continue to find their way.
According to their speculation, combined with the scene in the dream, the village was probably destroyed by a flash flood, and the original road was not sure whether it would be deviated.
Fortunately, the road that "Wen Jianyuan" took "Wen Tao" in the dream is still there, but there is some grass growing on the side of the road, and the stone slabs paved in some places are obviously new.
The two took advantage of the fact that no one on the mountain road hurried to leave, and the young man recalled the direction of the road while walking, and now that there was no one nearby, he also felt the compass in his arms.
Xia Chengyin saw it, and the corners of his eyes twitched: "You still brought this thing." ”
Gao Tianyi touched the compass, and there were words in his mouth: "Just in case, as long as it's not a summer dress, I'll carry it on my body." ”
Gao Tianyi carries a compass and other small props, just like other people in the special department carry weapons such as guns, who will take the weapon off for a long time?
After climbing another part of the mountain road, the young man said abruptly, "It's here." ”
He followed the path of the dream, and then he looked up.
In front of Gao Tianyi, there is no lake.
As the map shows, the location they faced was flat, and if anything, it was too empty.
Not only is there no lake, but there is no vegetation on the flat ground.
Kicking the door is not advisable, some bitter lessons x
