During this time, Xie Huaying was very disturbed.
Ever since she was frightened in the slaughter shop that day, she always felt that something was wrong with the residents of Yongning Town. Xie Huaying couldn't tell exactly what was wrong, it was clear that everyone always smiled so enthusiastically when facing her, but she felt inexplicable panic and uneasiness in such a smile from time to time.
It was as if the subconscious mind was constantly reminding myself.
"Okay? Don't worry about it. You're probably too sensitive." Rose, the only girl Xie Huaying confides to, stretched out her little hand and patted her hand, smiling softly and sweetly, "Sister Xie , you were probably frightened by the butcher uncle that day? That’s why you became suspicious later on, everyone looks like a bad guy.”
The girl's ruddy cheeks were full of youthful and lively vigor, her long eyelashes fluttered, and a pair of smart eyes were bent? She looked warmly at Xie Huaying, looking considerate and considerate.
"...Actually, Uncle Butcher didn't do it on purpose, he didn't think about it that much... Later he heard that you were frightened, and he wanted me to convey my apology to you."
Under her comfort, Xie Huaying also calmed down a lot.
At the beginning, she never thought of pouring out her thoughts to this little girl who is younger than herself. She has always been keen on wandering around Yongye Town and building a good relationship with the residents from all walks of life. There is not much time to get along with each other.
But that night when she returned to the tailor shop from the butcher shop, she had a whole night of nightmares. It was Rose, a careful girl far beyond her age, who noticed something was wrong in time, woke her up from the nightmare, and returned to her home. Soothed? Her.
Since that night, their relationship has grown by leaps and bounds.
Therefore, Xie Huaying was the first to tell her all the inexplicable anxieties and apprehensions in her heart, and Rosehip unsurprisingly began to calm her panic.
"Is it really because I'm too sensitive?..." Xie Huaying nodded silently when she heard what she said, thinking it made sense, but there was still some remnant of uneasiness in her heart.
However, facing Rose's eyes full of comfort and encouragement, she finally swallowed that bit of uneasiness and hesitation into her stomach, and a smile appeared on her face again.
In the days that followed, Xie Huaying regained her fighting spirit and continued to collect clues in the streets and alleys. Sometimes she was nearly collapsed by some strange residents of Yongning Town. After returning, she confides to Rose, and Rose is a A good listener? She never reveals her privacy indiscriminately, and can give her great comfort.
Unknowingly, she trusted this girl who was younger than herself? Nearly seven years old.
On this day, Xie Huaying pieced together the clues that she had found from many townspeople, and finally learned an important piece of information—a young man named Yu and She lived in the west border of Yongning Town. He is ordinary on the surface, but in fact he has a bloodline with extraordinary power
Isn't this the adventure she dreamed of
Did Xie Huaying do enough preparations and investigations? Whether intentionally or unintentionally, he learned from various residents that he is an "autistic" gloomy boy who has no relatives and no reason, is withdrawn and weird, and often stays at home and does not go out? .
Perhaps the residents of the small town find this kind of person difficult to deal with, but Xie Huaying thinks that this is simply a "tool man for adventures" created by the heavens for her. If you want to attack this kind of withdrawn boy who seldom interacts with other people, and get information about his extraordinary power from him, it's not difficult at all!
So, she tried every means to make a deal with the only grain store owner in the town, offered to help, and delivered the grain ordered by the town residents to their door.
Yu She's side is the first one that Xie Huaying came to.
As long as she can take the opportunity to get acquainted with the other party, she will have the opportunity to increase her favor little by little, and then try to get the inheritance or clues of extraordinary power...
In such anticipation, Xie Huaying panted pushing a cart of grain bags through more and more remote streets. She suffered a lot during the whole process, and finally came to the west of the town before dusk. The dilapidated old house appeared in her sight.
Panting heavily, Xie Huaying stopped, and it took a long time to calm her breathing and clean up her image. Then she took a few steps forward and gently knocked on the rusty door.
Although it was afternoon at this time, the sky was very gloomy, with large swathes of dark gray clouds overlapping the sky, and the occasional ray of light was as thin as fog.
The border area of the small town is sparsely populated, and under the heavy cloud and the whimpering wind, the scattered old houses are like silent solitary graves.
Only the sound of Xie Huaying knocking on the door lightly could be heard.
The rusty door was not opened, only a low, hard to identify voice came from behind the door, the tone was cold and short, it seemed that others were extremely unwelcome: "Who?"
In the cold wind, Xie Huaying shrunk her neck and tried to lower her voice several degrees. She was as gentle as if she was stepping on cotton candy: "Hello, I'm here to deliver goods for the grain store. Excuse me. Is this Yu She's house?"
It's so gentle and sweet, it's so heart-wrenching. It's actually a delivery man from a grain store. It's so reckless. Anyone who hears it can't help but be curious, so they will be curious, right
Xie Huaying stood at the door with a smile on her face, and she had already anticipated the development of the next thing—
A lonely and silent boy? Opened the door, and saw it at a glance? A girl in Yongning Town who is different from other girls will always be a little curious and surprised, and she will take advantage of the curiosity of the other party to take the initiative to talk to him...
Under Xie Huaying's expectant eyes, the rusty door was slowly opened, and a shadow cast out from it, and the look of anticipation in the bottom of her eyes became stronger.
However, the door was only opened? There was a gap of about one centimeter, and then it stopped moving.
Under Xie Huaying's astonished gaze, the cold voice behind the door became more gloomy and hasty, as if he really didn't want to see anyone: "Just give it to me through the crack of the door?"
How can this work? That's not how my script was written... Xie Huaying didn't think about it, and grabbed the open door with one hand: "Wait, I'm afraid it won't work."
Said it subconsciously? With such a sentence, Xie Huaying finally came back to her senses. She found an excuse and made her voice softer: "Mr. Sir, in order to be responsible to the customers and the food store, I can't do this Perfunctory, you must first confirm that you are the customer who made a reservation in the store in advance. Please also let me confirm that you are Yu She himself... "
There was silence behind the gate for a long time, only the whimpering cold wind blew past, the shadow of the old house shone on Xie Huaying, and also shrouded the people behind the door in shadow.
After a while, the voice behind the door came out again:
"So, do you want to see my true face?"
The voice was gloomy, weird, full of sarcasm, with a kind of offended rudeness. It makes people think of those lonely, weird, gloomy and terrifying black-robed wizards in the novel for the first time in their minds.
"Or, not only do you want to see what I look like, but you also want to take the opportunity to touch me unceremoniously? Come to my house?"
His defensive tone was as if he had a treasure house in his home. On the contrary, Xie Huaying believed that she could get the inheritance of extraordinary power from here.
However, speaking so badly, it’s no wonder you don’t like it in the town... Xie Huaying cursed secretly in her heart, but her tone couldn’t be more gentle, as if she was a little anxious: "No, sir, you misunderstood me, I just do my duty .I'm an out-of-towner who just came to this town? It's important to me to get this right..."
"Okay!" The people inside suddenly changed their tone, and the low and cold voice contained a slightly pleasant smile, "Since you want to come in voluntarily, then come in? Come on, I haven't seen you for a long time Food rations?…”
Xie Huaying didn't think much about it, a smile bloomed on her face all of a sudden, she dragged the small bag of grain to the threshold with great effort, and greeted the rusty door opened bit by bit in front of her eyes with the best appearance.
When the gap gradually became large enough to allow a person to pass through, a pale hand suddenly protruded from the crack of the door and grabbed Xie Huaying's wrist.
"Ah!" She only had time to let out a short scream, and her whole body quickly leaned forward, being dragged away into the gate by someone!
The oncoming darkness filled the gate, and it was about to swallow Xie Huaying's whole body. She vaguely saw a thin figure standing in the darkness, the huge shadow under his feet twisted around, and there were faint traces of dried blood on the ground, like a haunted house where many people died. The Taoist figure in the room was like a ghost in a haunted house. Cold, scary, creepy.
The other party's cold hand pinched tightly on her wrist.
"ah-"
Xie Huaying screamed loudly, but was dragged into the door with great force, and fell to the floor all at once, the tip of her nose seemed to touch the blood on the ground, leaving only one struggling foot desperately hooked outside door frame.
But her desperate efforts were doomed to be in vain. Under that terrifying force, no matter how much she struggled, she would eventually be dragged into this gloomy room.
"Stop struggling, didn't you come in voluntarily, my little snack?" That hand was still choking her tightly, and the gloomy voice echoed in the room, revealing a crazy and strange smell, "I've already Hungry? Been a long time?... "
"No! No!! No!!!"
Xie Huaying couldn't speak anymore, but screamed desperately in her heart, as if she fell into the mouth of a monster and was about to be eaten section by section, which made her terrified!
Her foot, which had been strenuously resting on the door frame, was finally slowly dragged into the crack of the door. That? The black shadow dragged her like this, like a butcher dragging a pig waiting to be slaughtered.
"No-"
When the fear reached its peak, Xie Huaying's foot that had just been dragged into the door was suddenly grabbed by a small hand inserted into the crack of the door, and a voice came from outside the crack of the door.
"Say no! Say you don't want to! Quick! No time?!!!"
That? It was a voice very familiar to Xie Huaying. It was sweet, immature, and full of anxiety.
—It's a rose! ! !
There was no time to doubt, relying on the trust in the rose, and the desire of the drowning person to grab the last piece of driftwood, Xie Huaying understood what she meant in a blink of an eye.
"I refuse! I didn't do it voluntarily, let me out!"
"well… "
Suddenly, a faint long sigh sounded in Xie Huaying's ear, with indescribable regret and regret.
"It's a pity? It's almost."
That? A ghostly voice said so, and then Xie Huaying felt dizzy, and the whole person? It seemed to be thrown out by someone all of a sudden, and fell heavily on the ground.
Regardless of the pain in her body, Xie Huaying crawled and got up from the ground, and saw that the rusty door that had been opened before had been closed again, the sky was still cloudy, and there was a cold wind blowing on the steps The fallen leaves, as if what happened just now was just her illusion.
— but she knew that? It was all true.
Xie Huaying suddenly turned her head to look at another person standing on the steps?.
It was the other party who appeared suddenly just now, stretched out a hand to grab her through the crack of the door, and reminded her in time, so that she could escape from that terrifying figure's shadow.
Thinking of this, Xie Huaying almost subconsciously took a few steps away from the old house.
The girl on the steps has already walked down quickly. Her white skirt was blown up by the cold wind, and there was a huge arc. Her immature and beautiful face was full of anxiety and anxiety that Xie Huaying had never seen before. panic.
She ran towards Xie Huaying's direction: "Sister Xie, hide quickly! They are going to eat you?!"
"What?"
At this moment, all kinds of weirdness that I noticed some time ago, the uneasiness that I thought I was expelled but was always lurking in the bottom of my heart, and the danger and fear I experienced just now, all broke out in Xie Huaying's heart... She seemed to understand? What, and she didn't seem to understand anything, she could only stare blankly at Rose, looking a little silly.
"I said, are they going to eat you?!"
Rose rushed down, hurriedly pulled up the dazed Xie Huaying, and ran towards the street with a hurried voice.
…
After the two left, the rusty iron door was opened again in the gloomy looking old house, and a head poked out quietly, looking left and right until they saw their backs It was already far away, so I let out a breath, and took it back again.
"...I'm acting alright, right?"
After turning on the lights in the house again, Yu She picked up the mop and began to vigorously wipe the blood on the ground, while muttering to himself somewhat unconfidently.
"I've lived? For so many years? I've never acted before. Fortunately, this script doesn't need to show my face, and it's not too long..."
Mr. Phantom, who was so cruel and weird just now, was wiping away the hard-to-wipe blood stains on the ground with a bitter face, while feeling uneasy about his performance just now.
"Well, I should have lied to her, right? This is Mr. Yuan's task, so don't let me lose the chain..."
Thinking of this, he raised his eyebrows and raised his eyebrows, trying to make a fierce expression, and clawed his fingers out of thin air: "Oh! Isn't this more fierce???"
Being idle and bored, Yuan didn't express his confusion when his consciousness just swept over here: "???"
...Where did a Erha come from
·
"Don't you know? The reason why everyone? welcomes you so much and likes you so much is because they all want to eat you! We... in a small town... but it's been a long time... there hasn't been... a foreigner ??…”
On the empty and remote street, the two were running wildly, and Rose explained to her in an intermittent voice.
Xie Huaying was stunned: "Eat, eat people?"
She thought that the guy in the haunted house was just a special case. She didn't expect that the residents of Yongning Town would eat people? ?
Thinking of this, when she felt that Rose was holding her hand, Xie Huaying's hand seemed to be stuffed with a slippery poisonous snake, and she almost subconsciously wanted to throw it away.
—Fortunately, she forcibly held back
If what Rose said is true, then the other party may be the only one who can help her now? How could she not hold on tightly
Rose probably sensed her thoughts, and explained: "Sister Xie, don't worry, I am special. Is everyone just sick? Are you entangled by the curse in your blood? My blood is pure..."
"Actually, I wanted to remind you before, but I didn't think about it, I thought you wouldn't have an accident so soon..." She seemed very sorry, her voice was broken by the wind, "This cursed little There are rules in the town. You can't attack foreigners casually. Only if you voluntarily enter the residents' houses with a strong intention can they attack you... Just like just now, if the door was closed when I arrived? Now, even if you regret it, it’s useless. Because the door is not closed yet, if I pull you out a little, it doesn’t count as completely entering the house. You still have a chance to regret it, and Yu She can only let you out... "
Xie Huaying was puzzled when she heard this.
Since she doesn't want others to touch her, then she just needs to be careful in the future? Huh
"That's not the case. I rescued you just now, but I actually beat you? The rules are out of order. Now everyone? must? have been alarmed? You don't have to follow the rules anymore... Yu She can't touch you for the time being, but other Man? Won't pass up this great opportunity - watch out on the left!!!"
Rose's voice suddenly changed, Xie Huaying glanced to the left, and her pupils suddenly shrank!
A man holding a butcher's knife is striding out of the house, running towards her.
"follow me!"
Or Rose is more familiar with Yongning Town, so she dragged Xie Huaying and ran to a very narrow alley. Even if it is an alley, it is considered reluctant. I am afraid that only children and thin people like them can pass, at least that man? No.
The sky was covered with overcast clouds, and the whole Yongning Town was gloomy, as if some kind of terrifying monster was about to wake up.
One after another, figures walked out of the house and walked on the gloomy street, looking distorted, weird, and terrifying.
This night, Xie Huaying seemed to have broken into the horror dungeon, so she could only escape in a hurry under the leadership of Rose. Several times, she was almost captured on the spot by those strange residents who suddenly revealed her true colors...
Not only that, she also suffered a lot of injuries due to bumps and bumps, and her physical strength was exhausted several times, but her legs were driven numb by the fear in her heart.
Hoo hoo...
Xie Huaying felt like her body was like a rusty machine, and her entire lung was about to explode, so the sound of the violent wind passed through it, and she struggled to breathe.
Sweat has already blurred? Xie Huaying didn't know where she was running, she just let the hand in her palm hold her, and staggered forward with Rose.
"Huh..." Rose seemed to be dying, she finally stopped, her voice was weak, "Are we here?"
She turned to look at Xie Huaying with a smile on her face.
It was only then that Xie Huaying noticed that the two of them arrived at some unknown time. In a very remote grove, a floor that was exactly the same color as the soil had been lifted by roses, revealing an empty underground warehouse below.
"This is my secret base." Rose said in a somewhat proud tone, "I discovered it when I was very young, and I didn't tell anyone else? Oh."
She seemed to want to say something more, but the figure in the distance seemed to have appeared on the edge of the woods, so she quickly pulled Xie Huaying, and said quickly: "It's too late to say more, go ahead! Let's hide here first One night, tomorrow day I will send you away quietly!"
"Hmm!" Xie Huaying let out a long breath.
Is she really exhausted tonight? But physical exhaustion is nothing, what is terrible is mental torture.
On weekdays, the friendly and friendly town residents suddenly turned into a group of cannibals and madmen, and were chased behind by this group of cannibals. They would be caught and eaten anytime and anywhere... It can be said that Xie Huaying passed the edge of death several times during her escape, and if she was not careful, she would become someone else's dinner. Her spirit was greatly stimulated by successive fears. Sometimes she just felt safe, but the next moment she faced a crisis. Such continuous stimulation made Xie Huaying's spirit feel like a taut string, almost to the point of dying. disconnect.
Until then, she finally relaxed.
Before the residents of the small town could catch up, she jumped into the basement without saying a word under Rose's anxious and urging eyes, and Rose also jumped in after her.
The upper entrance was closed, and the basement was dark.
"Hoo... hoo..."
Xie Huaying collapsed on the ground, panting heavily.
"It's finally safe?... I really didn't expect..."
At this moment, she couldn't help but complain about the unreliable "puppet master".
... What kind of information did you give? There may be extraordinary clues in this place, but is it too dangerous
Fortunately, now that she is out of danger for the time being, Xie Huaying felt a lot more relaxed. Thinking of the biggest hero who helped her escape from danger, she turned her head and looked at the girl who came in behind her: "Thank you so much this time, Rose."
Rose's smile was still sweet: "You're welcome, this is what I should do."
Xie Huaying really thanked her very much. At the same time, she also knew that she had to rely on this little girl to leave the town. Naturally, she had to gain enough of her favor, so she waved her hands repeatedly: "No, no, you saved? My life, of course, thanks …”
"You really don't have to thank me." Rose walked to Xie Huaying's side step by step, her tone was very sweet, and her smile was even sweeter, "If you have to thank me, why don't you give me yourself to eat?"
There was an eerie silence in the basement.
Xie Huaying's body trembled violently, and she was speechless due to fear.
She opened her eyes wide and looked at the girl in front of her. At this moment, that face with a sweet smile looked so terrifying in her eyes.
The girl tilted her head, looking so innocent and cute.
In the darkness, there seemed to be some kind of terrifying aura spreading bit by bit.
"I said no thanks... It's also because the prey that has moved a lot, the meat is more delicious."
"What's more, sharing with other people, how can it be better than enjoying it alone now?"
