After being stunned for a few seconds, Shen Jize also walked in the direction Xiaobai left, and began to trot as he walked. This passage should already be safe, you can bring Lu Rong here and wait here, and he will continue to explore the way forward.
Turning to the passage at the beginning, the iron gate that was born out of thin air has disappeared, and the light in the passage is bright, but Lu Rong, who should have rushed forward, has not been seen.
Shen Jize was stunned for a moment, and shouted to Rongrong while running.
Shouts and footsteps echoed in the empty building, but there was no response from Lu Rong.
He ran to look behind the protruding wall post, but there was no one there. This time my heart sank, and sweat dripped from my forehead.
Shen Jize turned around and ran back, simulating the route just now. After running to the corner, he made sure that he did not go the wrong way. This is where he left Lu Rong to stay.
"Lu Rong! Lu Rong!"
While continuing to call Lu Rong's name, he stopped in front of the door closest to the wall post.
After a moment of silence, he took two deep breaths and pushed open the door.
The moment the door opened, he was already mentally prepared to face the terrifying scene, and at the same time he put the iron rod across his chest.
But there was nothing in the room, only a bag of unpacked cement bags in the corner. There are neither scary ghosts nor Lu Rong.
Shen Jize closed the door and pushed the door of the next room.
Still empty.
A series of bangs were connected, and he checked all the rooms in this passage, but found nothing unusual.
Shen Jize supported his forehead with his left hand, and veins appeared on the back of his right hand holding the iron rod. He turned around a few times anxiously, with only one thought in his mind.
My brother is gone.
…
After Lu Rong got rid of the woman in red, she wanted to ask Shen Jize for credit. As soon as he hugged his thigh, he was reminded that he is currently a deer and has not yet turned into a human, so he hurried back with his tail between his legs in a guilty conscience.
Brother will pick him up soon, he has to change back quickly.
Lu Rong flew all four hooves and ran back to the iron gate as fast as he could. After a sudden brake, he turned into a naked little boy, staring at the corner with excitement, waiting for Shen Jize's figure to appear.
Shen Jize will definitely tell him about the beginning, and will continue to praise the deer warrior, using sentences such as golden armor and one-meter-long antlers.
The only regret is that he can't say that he is a deer warrior, he can only forcefully suppress Huanxi.
Because of the excitement in his heart, he kept taking small steps with his feet on the spot, waiting for his brother to come over, and he would be pierced into his arms like a cannonball.
Lu Rong looked forward to it for a long time but didn't see anyone, so she couldn't help but want to go and see. After walking a few steps, I saw only plastic sandals and scattered clothes, and remembered that I was still naked, so I quickly put on my clothes again.
He tiptoed to the corner and looked out, only to be disappointed to find that there was no one in that passage.
Walking to the place where the fight with the woman in red started, there was still a puddle of black water on the ground, but Shen Jize disappeared.
Lu Rong stood with his head down for a while, then turned around silently, with his shoulders slumped, and slowly returned to the starting place, squatting down against the iron gate, staring blankly at the concrete floor in front of him.
"My brother must continue to look for Guangtuan, and he will come back to pick me up when he finds it."
"It must be. He'll come back for me."
Lu Rong lowered his head, murmured to himself, and stretched out his thin white fingers to draw circles on the ground, pushing the top fine sand together.
"My brother will definitely come back to pick me up."
A moment later, a drop of crystal clear water fell, dizzying the fine sand into a dark dot.
…
Shen Jize walked through the cobweb-like passage like a headless chicken.
He didn't know where he had gone or where he was now, so he could only search down one passage after another, calling Lu Rong's name, his voice became a little hoarse.
The heavy iron rod was inconvenient to hold all the time, so it was dragged on the ground, making harsh scraping sounds along the way.
He started to think wildly, could Lu Rong be taken away by something terrible just after he left...
Thinking of this, his heart was full of remorse, and he scolded himself for leaving the person alone there just now, and something happened if he was not sure.
With red eyes, he bit his lower lip tightly, thinking that if he didn't find Lu Rong, even if he found the ball of light, he wouldn't go out until he was found.
The passage gradually became hazy, the lights above the head were no longer clear, and there was only a white halo in the haze. It can't be seen clearly in the distance, and the visible range is only one or two meters around.
I don't know when, there was already a thick fog.
Shen Jize didn't bother to think about why there was heavy fog in the building, so he continued to look for someone, calling out Lu Rong's name from time to time.
There are often wooden and iron rods swaying horizontally under his feet, and there are some piles of sand piled up. He accidentally tripped over and fell heavily, and the iron rod in his hand jingled and rolled to the corner of the wall.
The fall was very strong. He lay on the ground for more than ten seconds before slowly getting up. His knee felt a sharp pain and he almost knelt on the ground again.
The knees and the palms of the hands were covered with sand and mud, oozing red blood, and there were bloodstains all over the calves.
Grinning his teeth, he slapped the sand away, picked up the iron rod in the corner, and limped forward.
…
Lu Rong squatted for a long time, and the sadness in his heart seemed to ease a little. He wiped off the two tears still hanging on his face, stood up and was about to go to find Shen Jize, but he was stunned as soon as he took a step.
The surroundings are no longer dusty concrete passages, but in an alley. There is a black sky above the head, and the light shines from the courtyard next to it, dyeing the wall in front of it orange red.
There is a wooden door on the left side of the wall, and there is a yellowish small advertisement on the wall, which is a certain old Chinese medicine doctor, and the phone number is written in a row of small characters below.
He turned his head back suddenly, his pupils shrank suddenly, and his breathing stopped for two seconds.
There are two blue trash cans in sight, standing quietly at the base of the wall. Big and round, one was open and filled with rubbish, the other was closed. An old plastic bag hung beside it, rustling in the wind.
Lu Rong stared at the closed trash can, and was slowly surrounded by a long-lost feeling that he hated very much.
—It is the fear, despair and powerlessness of being abandoned by loved ones.
That feeling has been with him for a long time, making him sad from time to time.
He would start to be in a daze after playing with the puppy, and would put his arms around Grandpa's neck and ask flatteringly over and over again: Grandpa, am I your good baby? Grandpa, you like me the most, right? Only when Cai Ye gave an affirmative answer would he feel a little more at ease.
Although under the company and love of Cai Ye, those worries about gains and losses gradually disappeared, and he himself thought that everything was over. But when he saw this scene again, his tears burst out instantly.
This scene will never pass.
There was a sound of rustling footsteps on the left, he turned his head quickly and saw Wang Tu standing not far away.
He has not changed, exactly the same as in Lu Rong's memory.
Her short hair was shaved thinly, revealing her blue scalp. Wearing the black down jacket that they parted that day, with Lu Rong's familiar smile on his face, there are two gentle smile lines at the end of his eyes.
Wang Tu took two steps forward, stretched out his hand to him, and his voice was as soft as ever: "Rongrong, come, brother Tu will take you home."
Lu Rong heard his heart beating violently, and his chest rose and fell rapidly. He panted with his mouth slightly open, as if he would not be able to hold his breath, his hands clenched into fists, hanging down beside his shorts.
"Sorry, Rongrong, it took so long to pick you up." Wang Tu took another step forward, his face full of apology.
Lu Rong's vision was blurred by tears, and he softly uttered three words: "Brother Tu..."
The voice was so soft that he could hear it except himself.
"Yes, it's me, Rongrong, I'm your brother Tu." Wang Tu half squatted down, and stretched out his hands towards him.
Lu Rong wanted to scream, cry, hug Wang Tu and then punch and kick him.
He had engraved in his heart one by one the questions he had summed up in the middle of the night, and he was going to ask Wang Tu clearly when he saw Wang Tu.
"Where have you been for so long?"
"You threw me in the trash can and said you would come to pick me up, but why did you come now?"
"Do you know how hard it is for me to..."
"You are so annoying."
…
Lu Rong had a lot of words to say, but he scrambled to block his throat, unable to utter a single word.
Wang Tu's expression was also very moved, he choked up and said, "Let's go, Rongrong, Brother Tu will take you home."
Lu Rong thought that when he saw Wang Tu again, he must be very indifferent, and there was no expression on his face. After questioning, he left and ignored him again. He was a cold child.
But he couldn't control his tears and his longing to be close to Wang Tu.
The longing that was hidden deep under the resentment and resentment, which could not be easily touched, grew wildly in his heart when he saw this person again, occupying all his thoughts in an instant.
He couldn't help but took two steps forward, grinning and crying silently.
"Fluffy, we will never be separated again." Wang Tu continued to stretch out his hand, his voice softer.
Lu Rong stopped in his tracks and cried out, "Also, there is also grandpa, grandpa and elder brother."
"Yes, pick up grandpa and elder brother and go back to our home."
"Also, there are Uncle Bai and Uncle Chen."
"Uncle Bai and Uncle Chen are already at home, and we will live together when we go back."
Wang Tu's words were very tempting, and Lu Rong's body was trembling with happiness just thinking about that scene. He looked at Wang Tu with tears in his eyes, and slowly approached him.
"We'll plant all kinds of flowers in the yard and make you a swing," Wang Tu said softly.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, the dreamy light in Lu Rong's eyes gradually disappeared. He stopped and stood where he was, looking at Wang Tu with his head tilted.
"What's wrong?" Wang Tu asked.
Lu Rong asked suspiciously: "But isn't there a swing in our yard?"
The expression on Wang Tu's face remained unchanged: "I almost forgot, but we can also plant flowers, plant flowers all over the yard, and even build a grape trellis. In summer, we will sit under the grape trellis to enjoy the cool and drink the best fruit juice."
"You said we plant all kinds of flowers in the yard?" Lu Rong asked.
After asking this sentence, he held his breath and stared nervously at Wang Tu's mouth.
"Yeah, don't you like it? If you don't like it, we don't grow anything." Wang Tu said with a smile.
Lu Rong's footsteps moved slightly, but he was stepping back.
"Tell me, what did I plant in the yard before?" His face was full of tears, his voice was trembling, and there was something in his dark eyes that was about to shatter, but there was a hint of hope.
"It doesn't matter what you plant, just dig it out after you go back." Wang Tu stared at his retreating feet, and gradually put away the smile on his face.
Lu Rong's heart froze in an instant, and he fell heavily into a deep, dark hole.
If you look closely, you can see that his knuckles are white with tightness on the side of his shorts.
"After going out from here, go pick up Grandpa—"
"You are lying!" Lu Rong suddenly yelled and interrupted him: "You are not Brother Tu at all, you are lying!"
"I'm your brother Tu, you—"
"You lie, you lie, you lie, you lie..."
Lu Rong yelled excitedly, tears poured out frantically, and the blood vessels on the side of the neck were protruding from the surface.
"... Let's plant small flowers in the yard, you can plant whatever you like, and put a slide, the kind of slide with patterns..." Wang Tu's face became grim, and he spoke faster and faster.
"You're lying. When you smell flowers, your face will swell. You say it's called allergies. We don't have flowers in our house. What I plant in the yard is an ice cream. You tell me that it will disappear after planting it."
Lu Rong screamed, his teeth chattering uncontrollably, he stared at Wang Tu's two lips that were constantly colliding, and suddenly turned into a white deer, lowered his head, and bumped into it in front of him.
Wang Tu finally shut up, and quickly hid to the side, but he was still a step too late, and his right hand was poked by the little silver horn.
After the sound of Sisi, his hand suddenly turned into a gray mist, floating in the air.
Seeing this scene, the little deer kept bumping into him, his attitude of not caring seemed to be crazy.
'Wang Tu' dodged left and right in embarrassment, but was hit by hooves frequently, and all the hit parts turned into gray mist.
Soon, his waist was missing a section, and his left leg and right arm were also empty. The whole person is in disarray, looking weird, scary and funny.
He no longer tried to disguise himself, and kept saying while hiding: "You are a monster, Wang Tu threw you into the trash can because he was afraid of you..."
The fawn that was swatting didn't stop, its eyes were red, and the red lines on its legs were shining brightly.
"Are you still waiting for the kid who was with you? Do you think he will come back to find you? I just saw that he has found the exit, and he can't wait to get out."
"He never thought of coming back to you, and you are a piece of trash in his eyes."
"Same as Wang Tu, after discovering that you are a monster, he will throw you away and stay away from you..."
…
The fawn whimpered in pain, not only poked its horns, kicked with its hooves, but even opened its mouth, revealing two rows of small teeth to bite.
'Wang Tu' is gradually dissipating, but he laughed uncontrollably: "You will still be abandoned..."
After Xiaolu's last heavy blow, his whole body finally turned into smoke, only the last words remained in the air.
"...you will still be abandoned..."
Lu Rong stood there dumbfounded, his slender legs were shaking, as if he was supporting his body under a heavy load, and he was puffing out his nose.
After a long while, he turned into a naked little boy, squatted down slowly, hugged his shoulders, and buried his face in his knees.
…
Shen Jize groped forward in the thicker and thicker fog barrier, using iron rods to explore the way ahead, like a little blind man.
His two legs also became numb and became heavier and heavier, but he still called out to Lu Rong in a dry and hoarse voice.
But just after he turned a corner, the fog that shrouded the surroundings suddenly dissipated rapidly, just like the sky at sunrise when the clouds opened, even faster than that.
It's like a large exhaust fan that sucks away the mist that obscures the vision, and the vision suddenly becomes brighter.
He saw a little boy curled up in a ball and crouching on the ground at the end of the passage right in front of him.
"Lu Rong!" Shen Jize shouted in surprise and joy, breaking his voice.
Regardless of the pain in his body, he gained strength in an instant, threw the iron rod in his hand, and ran forward in big strides.
When he was about to run close, the boy with his head buried suddenly raised his face, he froze for a moment, and stopped in his tracks.
That delicate little face was black and white, and was covered with tears.
But what surprised Shen Jize was not this, but the moment he saw himself, the remaining sadness in his dark eyes instantly disappeared, and a thick layer of vigilance emerged.
"Rongrong, I'm here to pick you up." Shen Jize thought he was frightened just now, so he said softly.
Unexpectedly, after hearing this sentence, Lu Rong not only did not respond, but also had a bit of hatred on his face.
Shen Jize explained: "I've been looking for you for a long time, and now—"
"Have you become your elder brother again to lie to me?" Lu Rong interrupted him coldly.
"Change, become like an older brother?" Shen Jize didn't understand, so he stammered, "What are you talking about? I, I am my older brother, I am Shen Jize."
"I don't believe it." The corners of Lu Rong's mouth curled down, as if he was about to cry again.
"I'm really an older brother." Shen Jize tried to explain, and walked forward, but was stopped by Lu Rong loudly: "You are not allowed to go forward!"
He was like an angry little lion, his hair was blown off his body, and he was about to show his little paws.
——As long as Shen Jize takes another step forward.
Shen Jize had no choice but to stop and say, "What are you doing, I was wrong, okay? You shouldn't have been left alone just now."
Seeing that Lu Rong didn't answer and just looked at himself, he continued: "I was really wrong, but I also encountered some accidents. You don't know, I just met a female ghost, it really is a female ghost. Ghost, crawling around on that roof."
Shen Jize got excited when he said this, and began to gesture happily: "Her hair is so long, do you see it? It's so long."
He stretched his arms as far as possible and stretched them outward: "I won't tell you about her appearance in detail, for fear of scaring children, you just need to know that it's quite scary."
Lu Rong looked at Shen Jize, a trace of confusion appeared in his tearful eyes, and he tilted his head.
"Of course, I'm definitely not afraid. I have a weapon, and I smashed it with one stick after another. The female ghost was screamed by me. Look at me, pay attention to me, I used this move at that time."
Shen Jize pretended to still be holding the iron rod in his hand, and made a few poses, making a thumping sound from his mouth.
The light in Lu Rong's eyes dimmed, he lowered his head, looking at the ground, wondering what he was thinking.
"I'm going to walk her a few more laps, but do you know who's here again?" Shen Jize asked mysteriously.
Without waiting for Lu Rong to answer, he lowered his voice and answered by himself: "It's Deer Warrior!"
Lu Rong trembled all over, then raised his head abruptly, and his eyes shone brightly again.
"The deer warrior is still so good. It swung its hoof, and the female ghost's whole body seemed to be on fire. When it pushed up with one horn, the female ghost was poked on the horn, and could only shout for mercy, my lord—"
"Brother..." Lu Rong murmured first, in an inaudible voice, and then shouted: "Brother!"
"Hey, what's the matter?" Shen Jize was interrupted, and after seeing Lu Rong's excited look, he quickly replied, "Brother is here."
Lu Rong stood up and threw herself into Shen Jize's arms naked, crying loudly: "Did you throw me away like trash? Don't you want to come back to pick me up? Do you think I'm scary and don't want to I'm..."
Shen Jize caught the naked little body, not understanding why he said these words.
But Lu Rong was crying out of breath, so sad, and his crying was full of heart-piercing sadness and grievances, his eyes were red with distress.
"Rongrong is not rubbish, why would my brother not want you? My brother said he would come to pick you up, and he will definitely come back to pick you up. Fluffy is not rubbish." He explained incoherently.
"But sooner or later you will not want me, you will throw me into the trash can, sooner or later you will leave me..."
Lu Rong desperately hugged Shen Jize tightly, and hung herself on him, as if he was afraid that he would just leave.
His tears soaked the fabric of Shen Jize's chest, as if they were going to burn his skin and burn into his heart.
Shen Jize heard his heart-piercing cries, his eyes were red, and his chest was swollen.
He doesn't think about anything now, he just wants Lu Rong not to cry, stop crying, he is willing to do anything, as long as Lu Rong doesn't cry.
"Furry, I will never leave you, and I will never leave you."
He held Lu Rong's face in his hands, and solemnly made the young man's promise.
