Chapter 085: Two Women
It was a sickly-looking woman, emaciated and gloomy, her body trembling with every step she paced. It is swaying like a dead autumn leaf, and it will fall when the wind blows.
Her clothes never seemed to have been washed, and they were tattered as if they had been made of several strips of tattered cloth. The unkempt hair looked like it hadn't been combed for a long time. The two eyes are dull and unfocused, and they can't see the slightest emotion, and when they stare at people, they will inexplicably make people feel terrible.
"If it won't hurt us, how can you wantonly set fire?" the woman stared at Bai Luoshang stunned and asked, "Since you set fire, isn't it considered to hurt people?"
Her voice was very hollow, just like her eyes, without the slightest vitality or emotion.
Bai Luoshang didn't understand why she suddenly said such a thing to herself, if she was complaining, but there was no resentment in her tone. If she wasn't complaining, then why did she say this to herself inexplicably?
"At that time, I thought we were all going to die. "I thought we'd never see each other again." ”
"But we are not dead, we are still alive, stealing as we have lived for countless days and nights in the past. Of course, we may not seem to be alive, we just aren't dead. Another woman's voice came from behind her.
Bai Luoshang couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this, and looked over the woman's shoulder.
The woman was also in tatters, her clothes were completely unrecognizable, and she sat with her head bowed and leaned against the wall, her head buried deeply, so that no one could see any expression of her. But listening to her voice, she should be older, like an old woman.
Both of them were emaciated and only a pile of bones remained, and they had been hunched over their shoulders by the weight of the endless burden.
"Yes, we are not alive and not dead, because there is no difference between dead and undead. The woman standing in front of Bai Luoshang stared at Bai Luoshang quietly, saying word by word, with an indifferent expression, no sadness or anger, but it could make people feel strong grief and indignation.
For some reason, Bai Luoshang felt that every word of these two people could slam into his heart, making his heart gradually exude a burst of coldness.
Yes, these two women have a tragic situation, and all the people here have a tragic fate. This tragic fate was not caused by Bai Luoshang, but at this moment, Bai Luoshang felt guilty.
"But death and immortality are not the same. The old woman looked at Bai Luoshang from afar, and answered: "Only by living can you see the light and the sun." And when you die, you can't see anything. ”
"What if you can see it? We still can't get out. Even if we are alive, we are still 'dead people', and even if we are not dead, we can only hide here, not daring to see the sky. The woman was not salty and complaining.
Then, the two women continued to talk one by one, as if singing:
"For us, there is no choice but to accept it. ”
"Whether it's life or death. ”
"So at that point, we were ready to die. ”
"No, it should be said, we have been waiting for death, day after day, year after year. ”
"But after so many years of waiting, we still haven't waited for death. ”
"We thought we were going to live like this forever, until that time, until that fire started and we thought we had finally waited. ”
"The whole house was beeping, and the burning flames rolled in from the outside, and soon the whole temple was surrounded by billowing smoke. ”
"The pungent breath, the sky-high firelight, and the rattling sound can be heard in my ears. ”
"It was the sound of a house collapsing and falling, and it was the sound of death. ”
"There are haystacks everywhere, and once the fire comes in, no one can escape. ”
"That's right, that's enough fire to burn the entire mountain here. ”
"If this mountain burns, it will not only be us who will die, but also those secrets that have long been buried in the dust. ”
"A raging fire lit up the entire forest, and the crimson flames swayed with the wind, devouring everything around them with impunity. ”
"But at that time, we saw the phoenix, a phoenix that was more dazzling than the fire. ”
"It was the fiery phoenix that saved us. ”
"However, I didn't want to be saved, I didn't even think the phoenix should have appeared, but it did, on the roof. ”
The two women said one by one, and the more Bai Luoshang listened, the more inexplicable she felt frightened.
These words sounded like they were said to him on purpose, and if this was the case, Bai Luoshang would be even more unpredictable about the other party's intentions.
The secret they were talking about was probably the countless pieces of white bones hidden in the woods. The strange place is in those who don't know how many years they have been dead, what kind of secrets do they have?
What is the "phoenix" in their mouths?
The young woman suddenly pointed to the ground and asked Bai Luosheng, "Do you think it's cold here?"
Bai Luoshang subconsciously lowered his head and muttered, "It's cold, my feet are almost frozen." ”
The young woman asked, "But at that time, the soil was so hot that it almost melted away." ”
Bai Luoshang closed her mouth and did not speak.
The young woman continued, "Do you know why it's so cold here?"
Bai Luoshang hesitated: "Because it's raining?"
When it rains, it will naturally be cold, and what Bai Luoshang said is very reasonable.
The young woman shook her head and said, "Because this is a cemetery." ”
Did she mean that it was because the yin qi was too heavy, so it would be cold?
Bai Luoshang thought about it for a while, and felt that what she said was also very reasonable, he knew that there were countless dry bones buried under the soil under their feet.
Under that dark and dreary bottom, there should have been nothing, but at this moment, it is full of gray dry bones, and even if there is no light, it can be seen clearly.
Bai Luoshang had not seen it with his own eyes, but he could almost imagine that the scene there must be monotonous and cold, dark and secluded.
The faintly falling light shone on Bai Luoshang's two feet, and he was walking one after the other with these two feet. As he walked, he looked at the two women who spoke, these two were unkempt and unkempt, and their appearance was not very clear, and Bai Luoshang couldn't see what kind of faces they looked like. But even so, he still stared at the two of them without blinking.
Bai Luoshang couldn't understand what the two women were planning to say to her.
The more she thought about it, the more incredible she felt, Bai Luoshang couldn't help but grab Ochre Aya, pointed to her head, and asked in a low voice, "Are they not clear here?"
When Ochre Aya heard this, her face immediately changed, first she glared at Bai Luoshang fiercely, then kicked Bai Luoshang with her foot, and then slapped Bai Luosheng's shoulder fiercely, and said in annoyance: "Why don't you just say that you have something wrong with your ears?"
Bai Luoshang immediately said seriously: "There is nothing wrong with my ears, and I know what they said, I just suspect it." ”
Ochre Aya asked unhappily, "What do you have to doubt?"
Bai Luoshang sighed: "I know you're not a bad person, but why don't you have a good temper?"
Ochre Aya stared at the big eyes, although her face was a layer of black, but Bai Luoshang knew that if she washed the woman's face at this time, she would definitely find that her face was red and angry.
Touching his nose, Bai Luoshang looked at the two unkempt women with a different face, and muttered, "They ...... just now Did you say Phoenix?"
Ochre Aya said angrily: "Isn't there nothing wrong with your ears?"
In other words, if you have already heard it clearly, why do you need to ask it again?
Bai Luoshang laughed embarrassedly twice, and suddenly felt that this woman was too fierce, her temper was really bad, and she was stared at very fiercely, Bai Luoshang could only smile, and said, "...... I just want to know if the 'phoenix' they say is the same thing as the 'phoenix' I think. ”
Ochre Aya narrowed her eyes and said coldly, "What do you think?"
Bai Luoshang pursed her lips and thought for a while, and asked rhetorically, "What are they talking about?"
Ochre snorted heavily, not answering the question.
Bai Luoshang asked another question: "Then which secret is the 'secret' they just said?"
Although he already had some guesses in his mind, they were just guesses, and his curiosity made him can't help but ask, and he also wanted to know if this "secret" was the same as the secret he imagined.
Ochre Aya looked at Bai Luoshang coldly, as if she was not very willing to answer this question, she just said coldly: "Don't you know what you think?"
Bai Luoshang pursed his lips, looking at the fierce face of Ochre Aya, he suddenly felt that he really didn't need to ask anything, because no matter what he asked, in the end, it could only be asked in vain.
Ochre Aya's eyes didn't know when, and suddenly became very vicious, when she stared at Bai Luoshang, it was as if she was staring at an enemy, and her whole body seemed to be covered with thorns, as long as Bai Luoshang dared to say a word, she would use her thorns to pierce Bai Luoshang.
Bai Luoshang is not afraid of being pricked by a woman's thorns, and he sometimes even thinks that if a woman is willing to use her thorns to prick him, it at least shows that this woman's heart has him, and it shouldn't be said that it is his blessing to be remembered by a woman?
Of course, in order to enjoy this blessing, you still have to be more or less sulking.
Bai Luoshang was stabbed by the thorns of ochre, and he could only sigh, "You are really a very fierce woman, no matter what I ask, you don't seem to want to talk to me properly." ”
"Then why do you still want to ask me!" Ochre Aya stabbed Bai Luoshang with her thorn again, glared at Bai Luoshang with a fierce look, and said in an unkind tone: "I just don't want to talk to you well, and you don't want to talk to me." ”
For the arrogance of women, Bai Luoshang can only keep his mouth shut.
