Chapter 11: The Theory of Worms: The Sound of the Strings
When Gong Ping left, it was already after five o'clock in the afternoon. It was half dark, and only the monk came out trembling to see him off.
The seven of them talked all afternoon, and they didn't know what to say.
When the monk returned home, the five of them had already gone their own way, and only the evil spirit was cleaning up the table.
The monk put away the pencil on the coffee table, talked to the evil spirit, and went back to the bedroom.
Gong Ping held the sketch drawn by the monk in his hand, and returned to the bureau with a calm face all the way.
Sitting in the chair, on the table was the sketch, and his eyes in the painting were resolute and resolute, more like himself than himself! Gong Ping exhaled deeply and looked at the person in the painting...
His interest in these teenagers grew stronger.
Nothing was said all night.
The next day, when the monk was still lying in the quilt, Li Han directly lifted the cover and pulled it up. The monk muttered a few words, yawned and got up sleepy.
Hot fritters have been placed on the dining table, and it seems that Wang Luojie got up to buy them. Longguan and the others had already eaten almost, Li Han helplessly shrugged his shoulders to the four of them and sat down by himself.
Long Guan wiped his mouth and smiled at the monk: "What did you do last night, only to get up so late?"
The monk yawned again, and said vaguely: "I was thinking about how Gong Ping would react when he saw that painting, and after thinking of more than a hundred results, I forgot that I was going back today." ”
"You're so boring," Li Han said, "You recruited him on purpose! I told you not to mess with him, he's not a good stubble." ”
"Nope. The monk took a sip of soy milk and said, "It's the first feeling, and I draw it unconsciously." He gave me the feeling of being too sharp. How to say it, it's the kind of oil and salt that doesn't go in, and there is no way to avoid solving it... It's tricky!"
"It's better to mess with him less. Wang Luojie said, "I always feel that I have to suffer at his hands." ”
"I feel the same way!" the evil spirit agreed, "Gong Ping, well, I think if he were our age, we could be brothers." ”
Wang Luojie looked at him in surprise, isn't there something wrong with this kid's brain?
Yi Shui said lightly: "The Tao is different, and they don't conspire with each other." ”
Long Guan snorted and didn't say anything.
There were more people on the street, and the six of them were all the way to the station. bought some paper candles or something, and Li Han bought some food and drinks despite everyone's objections. As a result, he and Yi Shui's backpacks were almost 30 pounds heavier than the others. After finding two private cars and being slaughtered, the six of them set off for the mountains.
I don't know if God arranged it on purpose, and I couldn't leave halfway through the car. The six people looked at each other and had to drive Route 11. Everyone is carrying no less than 20 pounds of things, and the road is paved with cement slabs, so it is okay to walk, but it seems that the ankle hurts after a long time.
Li Han walked in the front, with Yi Shui beside him, and the two of them talked and laughed all the way.
The monk looked around as he walked, not knowing what he was looking at.
Wang Luojie hummed a small tune, stopped playing games, and gasped there.
Li Han walked to the roadside stone and sat down, took out the drink in his backpack and said with a smile: "Xiaosheng watched the sky at night and knew that this trip was not going well, so he was prepared first, who wants to quench his thirst with wine?"
Wang Luojie rolled his eyes and said, "It's all yours, if you don't want to buy these, we won't have an accident." ”
Li Han was happy and said, "I said, big brother, can we speak according to our conscience? If it weren't for my unpredictable prophet, wouldn't we have to drink the wind?"
Wang Luojie hammered his leg with one hand, took the drink with the other, took a big sip, and burped.
Li Han looked at him, and suddenly said in a lonely tone: "I thought you would complain." That's your character!"
"I knew you were going to say that," Wang Luojie looked at the sky and said indifferently, "I think it's strange myself." ”
Li Han smiled indifferently and said, "We are not people of the same world. ”
Wang Luojie said sarcastically: "I have never dreamed of this scene, green tiles, mountain roads, mud walls. It's all yours!"
Li Han punched him, smiled and didn't speak.
Long Guan took the drink from Wang Luojie's hand, took a sip and said to the monk, "Look at the people and look at you." ”
The monk argued: "I am engaged in art, art! Do you understand what art is?"
The evil spirit said disdainfully: "My artists, those painters who paint masterpieces, are they all staying at home?"
The monk tugged at the corners of his mouth and said, "I'm too lazy to bother with you." ”
Long Guan smiled: "Yo, our artists are so cultured?"
Li Han stood up, patted his buttocks, and said, "Don't waste time, let's go! Go to the monk Longguan, the evil spirit house, I won't go back there!"
Wang Luojie raised his eyebrows and said, "Why?"
Li Han didn't have any expression, and said: "The deceased is gone, just think about it in your heart." ”
Wang Luojie was silent.
The evil spirit said in a low voice: "Let's go back, isn't our purpose this time to make a complete break? Big deal, I'll be back tomorrow."
The dragon looked at the monk, and the monk said without waiting for his signal, "For the sake of my dream, it's okay to walk a little more." ”
Li Han pursed his lips, as if he wanted to laugh.
Wang Luojie muttered, glancing at Li Han from time to time.
The mountain road was rugged, and it was already noon when they arrived at the ancestral tomb of the monk's family, and the five people left room for the monk with interest.
The monk buried himself in burning paper, and there was a sense of loneliness in the fireworks.
Li Han sighed suddenly, Yi Shui looked at him and asked, "What?"
Li Han was silent, looked at the monk, and then looked at the dragon view standing on the other side, the evil spirit.
"They're nice. Yi Shui said in a low voice.
Li Han smiled and said in a suppressed voice: "It's really good to be praised by you." ”
Yi Shui smiled silently and said lonely: "I originally thought that there were only two people like us in the world! Of course, I should have thought that people like you would find a group of friends of life and death wherever they go." ”
"The world is so big, it's all wonderful. Li Han looked up at the sky and said with a smile, "I am the biggest sinner!"
"I'm sorry for your innocence!haha!" Yi Shui said heroically.
Shaking his head, Li Han said firmly: "The road is chosen by myself, no matter what, I will go on." ”
"Of course!" Yi Shui said solemnly, "I will always accompany you!"
The monk turned around, and his face still had the same attitude of death that he had nothing to do with himself. He never seemed to have any human feelings, not even anger.
Li Han raised his voice and quipped, "Monk, have you gone too far in chanting?"
The monk glanced at him sideways and didn't say anything.
Li Han didn't think so, and said loudly: "Okay, let's go to Longguan." ”
Going to the grave, it really seems to them is just a formality.
Long Guan grabbed a lot of yellow paper, and the burned paper ash twisted and curled up into the sky.
Li Han looked at Long Guan's back, and suddenly felt very cruel, his thoughts suddenly went back to a long time ago, back to the first time he saw Long Guan, the child who waved his fists and grinned at him in the mud.
Long Guan finally solemnly kowtowed twice, then stood up and stood behind Li Han.
The man who was later called Li Han's shadow in the Qilin Pavilion and was known as the Blood Moon Killing God alongside Yi Shui seemed to have begun to awaken at this moment.
After walking for another two hours in a row, Wang Luojie finally began to complain. He kept chattering in Li Han's ear, and the voice was not loud, only Li Han could hear it.
Every time Li Han glared at him angrily, he restrained himself slightly, and as soon as he turned around, he immediately started nagging again.
Li Han was so angry that he gritted his teeth, Wang Luojie was sad when he left, and Yi Shui was not shocked.
The next three people got together, not knowing what they were discussing. After enduring Wang Luojie's nagging for an hour, Li Han finally couldn't help but explode. He stared at Wang Luojie and smiled, Wang Luojie felt weak in his heart, and ran to Yi Shui's side with a wicked smile.
Li Han had no choice but to stop and say, "Let's eat first! ”
The evil spirit said, "Hurry to my house first, and I'll find a place to stay at night." I'll leave tomorrow morning. ”
By the time the evil spirit had finished going to the grave, it was already half-dark. The evil spirit pried open his old house, and a strong musty smell poured out.
The evil spirit led everyone in, and the house was unoccupied for an unknown amount of time, and a thin layer of dust fell on the cobwebs.
Wang Luo didn't complain, Li Han sniffed his nose vigorously and said, "What a smell." ”
Before he could finish speaking, a swarm of bats roared out of the crowd's heads.
The evil spirit was dumbfounded, and said, "Damn, I really don't know how they did it when they left. ”
"Forget it, forget it," said the monk, "do you have a quilt at home, get something to eat, and sleep! ”
The evil spirit said, "It doesn't seem to be, all the useless ones were burned when we moved." ”
"Just get together by the fire pit for the night. Li Han said, "It's not so particular. ”
The firewood burned and made a 'crackling' sound from time to time, and Li Han bowed down and stared at the flickering flames.
The bonfire went out, and his shadow trembled.
The monk tore off the plastic gloves he was wearing and threw them into the fire, looked at the people, and asked, "What are we going to do next?"
Everyone looked at Li Han.
Li Han's eyes were hollow, and he said indifferently: "There are two ways, either kill the person behind Yi Shui, or use that person to deal with the organization." ”
Yi Shui looked at Wang Luojie and said, "Kill him!"
Wang Luojie sighed at the mobile phone and said speechlessly: "There is no signal in the ravine!"
Li Han smiled: "This is our world. ”
Wang Luojie looked around, the blackened earthen walls, the uneven ground, and the firewood piled up in the corners, smiled, and said, "I also think it's better to kill him." ”
He seemed to think of something interesting, and suddenly laughed under his breath.
Li Han looked at Long Guan, who didn't care and said, "You have the final say on your business." ”
Li Han smiled and said, "Aren't we together?"
The evil spirit said: "This is the business of the three of you!"
Hearing this, Wang Luojie subconsciously glanced at the monk, who squatted silently in the corner without expression on his face.
"Oh well. Li Han nodded.
"It's been a long time since we really started planning?" the monk asked.
"Let's get rid of all the troubles. Li Han thought for a while, "Moreover, we are still too weak now!
"Me?" the monk pulled out a piece of paper and began to sketch, "No, there is nothing wrong with this. ”
The fire roared, and the spark rose upward, and all six of them watched as the spark rose into the air and suddenly extinguished.
Wang Luojie sighed suddenly, and the six of them felt something, and at the same time bowed their heads and said nothing.
Li Han watched an unknown insect crawl out of the fire, and he was distracted for a while. Suddenly, a stick swept it in front of the worm, and the worm was thrown into the fire, making a scorching sound, and disappeared.
Li Han was stunned, and looked up to see the monk throwing a wooden stick into the fire.
Li Han smiled bitterly and said, "The monk is not merciful at all. ”
The monk smiled, and Yun said lightly: "Who knows if it is destined for this catastrophe? ”
"Who knows if this kind of life will be exactly what it wants?" Yi Shui said lightly, "How good it is that the worm has a lifetime without intrigue." ”
The monk pushed his glasses.
"Worms can only be manipulated by people!" Long Guan said in a low voice.
Yi Shui's cold face was blank.
"The insects and pigs are united, and Mount Tai can be moved. Wang Luojie said.
Long Guan seemed to laugh.
"Worms know martial arts, and no one can stop them!" the evil spirit laughed.
"!" Li Han smiled, "You have to be that bed bug just now, that's your business... Don't add me in. ”
