On the first day, there was no water.
Ning Ning licked her dry lips, raised her head to look, and heard a cry from outside the Yuanyuan Well.
"...Where are we?" An equally dry voice sounded.
Ning Ning lowered her head and saw that Wen Yu had finally woken up. A ray of sunlight shone into the well and landed on his bruised face.
"In the well." Ningning said.
Wen Yu struggled with one hand, but couldn't get up, fell back to the original place again, rested her head under Ning Ning's knee, closed her eyes for a while, and then opened her eyes to look at her again: "Why don't you think about it? ?"
Ning Ning was stunned for a moment, and then realized that Wen Yu couldn't see brother Tsing Yi, so in his opinion, Ning Ning was not tricked into the well, but jumped into the well voluntarily.
Just as Ning Ning was thinking about how to explain this matter, Wen Yu suddenly asked, "Have you ever regretted anything?"
... why do you suddenly ask this? Ning Ning nodded.
"Have you ever had a crush?" Wen Yu asked again.
Ning Ning hesitated, but nodded.
"Of course there are clothes that you want to buy but haven't bought, and food that you haven't eaten yet, right?" Wen Yu smiled slightly, the sun on his face was as bright as his smile, "So you're still depressed. What? To be rejuvenated and become a youthful self means that many things can be repeated, and many regrets can be made up, which is a good thing.”
"...I'm not depressed." Ningning said, she didn't fall into the well for this reason.
"It's not the best." Wen Yu raised a hand with difficulty and touched her head, "If there is, just look at me, my hair is white, I'm already a bad old man..."
"Pei Xuan is the bad old man, you are not." Ning Ning tilted his head and avoided his hand, "...Don't treat me like a child."
But she found out that, compared to him... she was indeed a child.
The second day, no food.
Ning Ning opened her eyes, hoping that everything that happened yesterday was a nightmare, and then what fell into her eyes was a round wellhead, and the cries of knowing came through the wellhead.
... It wasn't a dream.
Turning his head to look at Wen Yu, the wound on his head was scarred, but his breath became weaker... The weak made Ning Ning couldn't help but put his face close, like a small animal sniffing people, until he smelled him Weak breath, only relieved.
It can't go on like this.
Ning Ning cleared his throat and shouted at the wellhead, "Help!"
… With such a small voice, it can’t even be compared to a single acquaintance, where can I call for help
"Help!" Ning Ning increased the volume a little more, but it wasn't her throat that was pulling her stomach, she hugged her stomach and felt that her front chest was pressing against her back. Because of hunger, her stomach was burning with discomfort. Can't bear any energy consumption.
"Help! Help, help... Hey." Ning Ning couldn't help lowering his head and whispered, "I'm so hungry..."
click.
Something fell on Ning Ning naked. on the exposed back of the neck.
Ning Ning's conditioned reflex backhand touched, and then...
"Ahhh!!"
Ning Ning's screams echoed throughout the well.
Ning Ning jumped up and down like crazy, and slapped his body with both hands, but he didn't dare to slap the back of his neck because... there was a worm there.
"Come here." A helpless voice sounded.
Ning Ning turned her head and saw that Wen Yu had woken up, so she hurriedly put her neck close to her, whimpering in her mouth: "Help me take it off!! Ah!! I feel like it's going to crawl into my clothes! !"
Wen Yu reached out and took the bug away.
Ning Ning immediately jumped far away like a frightened bird, her back was tightly against the wall of the well, her eyes were fixed on the cyan-colored, twisting fat worm caught by Wen Yu's hand. There was another layer of goosebumps all over the place.
"You don't want to throw it away." Ning Ning said with a look of disgust.
"Why throw it away?" Wen Yu laughed, looking at the bug in his hand and said, "It is rich in nutrients and high in protein. This is our breakfast."
"breakfast???"
Wen Yu looked at the top of his head, and Ning Ning followed his gaze, like two frogs in a well, and could only see the world in the shape of the wellhead.
"Before the villagers find us, we must survive." Wen Yu looked back and said to Ning Ning seriously, "If people want to live, they must eat."
After he finished speaking, he handed the insect in his hand to Ningning.
… The bottom of the well is just that big. Wherever Ning Ning moved, his hand moved. Ning Ning gradually began to turn pale, his shoulders trembled, and his eyes were desperate, as if what Wen Yu was holding was not a bug, but a worm. take a gun.
"...You eat." Her voice trembled, and finally struggled, "I'm not hungry yet."
Wen Yu looked at her, then looked at the bug in her hand, hesitated, and bit out half of it.
"...Okay." He swallowed, and Wen Yu gave Ning Ning the remaining half with an ugly face, "It's your turn, be strong."
"...I can't do it with your concubine." Ning Ning looked at the half of the fresh corpse in his hand, with tears in her eyes, she desperately shrunk herself against the wall of the well, wishing she could immediately turn into a mural.
But as I said earlier, the bottom of the well is so big.
Wen Yu took a sigh of relief, bounced off the ground and rushed over. Ning Ning had nowhere to hide, so he pressed down and ate half a worm.
"Woooo..." Ning Ning's face turned blue, and she felt like she was about to vomit.
"Don't vomit." Wen Yu covered her mouth with her hand, "Swallow it back, and live no matter what."
... you better let me die.
On the third day, it rained heavily.
Ning Ning murmured, "... I'm really going to die now."
Originally thought that yesterday was the worst day in her life, she was wrong, today is.
A few roars sounded above her head. She raised her head and looked up. The dark clouds above her head rolled, and lightning flashed and thundered. After a while, the white rain was like a waterfall in the sky, pouring directly into the well from the sky.
Ning Ning's body shivered in the rain.
How long will it rain for? Will it fill the well? Even if the filling is not full, it will take a long time to cool down and get sick...
"Ha ha."
Ning Ning looked down slowly, and said coldly, "You are crazy, you are still laughing at this time."
She knows that her attitude is not good, and she doesn't want to treat Wen Yu with this attitude, but she has had several nightmares about cabbage worms in a row...
"This is a gift from God." Wen Yu held her hands up and the clear rain fell into his palms. He brought the water to Ning Ning's mouth, "Drink it."
"..." Ning Ning looked up at him, the rain made her a little unable to open her eyes.
"I don't know when it will rain next time." Wen Yu said softly, "If you don't want to eat worms, drink more water."
Ning Ning only cared about her fear at first, until she was reminded by him that the thirst that had not drank for two days suddenly filled her throat. She licked her dry lips, and then drank some water with Wen Yu's hand.
After drinking the water, Wen Yu continued to raise her hand to receive the water, and then continued to feed her.
"...You drink some too." Ning Ning suddenly said, and then held both hands up, also holding the rain in the palm of his hand, and handed it to Wen Yu's lips.
He smiled, did not refuse, bowed his head and drank water in her palm.
On the fourth day, Wen Yu fell ill.
"Woo woo, woo woo..." Ning Ning hugged Wen Yu and kept crying.
Wen Yu coughed twice, her face flushed unnaturally: "Don't cry, crying won't solve the problem."
"I know." Ning Ning cried, "but I can't do anything but cry."
She tried to climb with her bare hands, and she fell down after climbing up to one meter. She tried to call for help, but the answer to her was always the cries of Zhi Zhi. She tried to pray, from Buddha Sanqing Mazu to Italian Feitian Spaghetti , no god appeared. When a person can't do anything, what can she do
She could only cry, hating the person who made them fall, hating her useless self.
"How is it?" A smiling voice sounded from above her head, Ning Ning raised her head and looked at the wellhead where she could only see the sky, and there appeared a masked boy in Tsing Yi, who lowered his head and smiled at her, " Have you thought about it? Do you want me to pull you up?"
"... Hurry up!" Ning Ning stretched out his hands to him, motioning him to find a way to pull him up quickly, making up his mind that after going up, no matter what sacrifice or not, the landlord or the landlord, immediately called someone to rescue Wen. rain! Just beat him up!
"You can't discount the good things you said." The younger brother in Tsing Yi glanced at Wen Yu, "When he dies, I will pull you up."
"...There's nothing to eat or drink in this place, he's dead, and so am I!"
"No, no." Tsing Yi said with relief, "He is so ill, he will die soon if he doesn't care."
"...But I..." Ning Ning turned to look at Wen Yu and muttered, "How could I leave him alone."
Wen Yu raised his head and looked at the wellhead, and after a while, he turned his eyes to her: "Who are you talking to."
Ning Ning looked at the wellhead again, there was no trace of Tsing Yi brother, only a green leaf washed by the rain fell into the wellhead.
"...No one." Ningning said sternly.
Wen Yu closed her eyes, then opened her eyes and said, "It's my fault, you can always see people I can't see."
Ning Ning was silent.
"Not only you, but also my patients, such as Ms. Qin." Wen Yu smiled bitterly, "You are telling the truth, there are really invisible people around you, there is really one person in this world that can make people feel Changing the cinema of the past... just out of sight for ordinary people like me."
"It's good not to see." Ning Ning said, "If you give me another chance..."
She got stuck.
Because she found that if she was given another chance, she would still go to the cinema 80% of the time, in pursuit of her acting skills, her dreams, her mother, and a chance to change her destiny.
Wen Yu looked at her for a while, then smiled and said, "Although I can't see it, I can roughly guess what he said to you."
"Don't guess."
"Did he tell you to give up on me?"
"no."
"give up."
"no."
"What does it matter?" Wen Yu looked at her tenderly, "It's better for one to survive than two to die here together."
Ning Ning lowered her head, holding back her tears and said nothing.
She remembered the story that brother Tsing Yi told her.
"Volunteers are starting to appear among the refugees."
"Some voluntarily become masked people, and some voluntarily enter the theater to watch the play."
"Ningjia Village was built on sacrifice."
In the face of such a group of people, what does the owner think in his heart
"The landlord!" "The landlord." "The landlord..." At that moment, many voices from men and women rang in Ning Ning's ears, scrambling for each other, as if they were far away, like the voice at the beginning of the movie, pulling Ning Ning over.
Ning Ning raised her head, and in a trance, she came to a deserted wasteland. Not far away was a group of refugees dressed in ancient costumes, some silently digging the grass roots on the ground, some curled up on the ground with their broken arms and whined, some He leaned back against the tree trunk and opened his clothes to breastfeed the doll. The doll took a few puffs and began to cry. Someone pushed the woman twice, only to find that the woman had died.
The two staggered towards Ning Ning, the one on the left was white-haired, and the one on the right was a child with a yellow mouth.
The old man knelt in front of Ning Ning: "This old man wants to be a masked man."
"Why?" Ning Ning asked, "If you become a masked person, you will stay in the theater of life forever."
"I know," said the old man. "The old man is willing."
"When Grandpa turns into a masked man, I'll go in and watch his play." The child said, "I'll follow you this time, and I'll run with everyone to find the Peach Blossom Spring. But when I cross the river, I'll let everyone take the cloth Cover the mouths of all the children, and there will be no more incidents of chasing soldiers because the children cry at night."
"What if it doesn't work?"
"I'll go again."
"Even if it succeeds, what if it attracts chasing troops because of other things?"
"I'll go again."
"Do you know?" Ning Ning looked at him earnestly, "After three times, you will stay in the theater of life forever and become a masked person."
"I know." The child smiled innocently, revealing his open front teeth, "I do it voluntarily."
Another person came over, a woman with a sloping foot, limping behind the child, hearing what he said, rubbing his head with a smile, and saying, "At that time, let Aunt Wu go in and see you. play."
Ningjia Village was really built on sacrifice.
—The self-sacrifice of countless people.
Ning Ning closed her eyes, gritted her teeth and said, "... I'm wrong."
She opened her eyes again, the old man, the child, and the woman in front of her were gone, the starving man with the broken arm and the dead mother disappeared in the distance, she stood in the dry well again and looked at the man beside her.
… What a joke, you will never be allowed to sacrifice yourself! Instead of letting me watch you sacrifice, it's better...
"I'm not a landlord!!" Ning Ning took a deep breath and shouted at the wellhead, "I'm not right! I'm not a landlord like this!!"
wrong...
when...
now...
"In front! In front!" "Where is it, eh, why is there a well here?" "Where's the flashlight, get the flashlight!"
The voices were full of people, from far to near, and suddenly a straight white light came in along the wellhead, stabbing Ning Ning up and covering his face.
"I found it! It's here!" "Why did you fall into the well." "Rope, get the rope quickly!"
"Ning Ning!" Ning Yuren had already squeezed into the crowd, lying on the wellhead and shouting inside, "It's alright, Mommy will save you right away!"
fifth day.
When I woke up from the dream, my first reaction was to raise my head.
Shaking overhead is a white mosquito net, not a round wellhead.
"... I'm saved." Ning Ning sighed, her voice was a little hoarse and her body was a little sore, so she coquettishly shouted, "Mom, I want to drink water."
There was the sound of water pouring from behind, followed by the sound of fast footsteps.
Ning Ning turned over on the bed and was about to take the teacup from Ning Yuren, but was stunned.
Outside the gently swaying tent, there were people standing.
The village chief, the representatives of various surnames, the natives of the village, the people who returned home from outside, all came together, standing quietly outside the tent, waiting for her to wake up.
It was even the village chief himself who brought her tea.
"You're awake." The village chief looked kindly, "Get up and drink some tea."
The situation in front of you is very strange, but in any case, the tea that the elders poured for you in person, you can't help but drink it in front of everyone's eyes, Ning Ning had to struggle to get up, stretched out his hand to take the tea cup, took a quick sip, and then put down the cup and asked: "Village Chief, what's the matter with you?"
"I'm here to thank you on behalf of everyone in the village." The village chief smiled.
"Thank me?" Ning Ning was a little confused, "Why do you want to thank me?"
"Thank you for taking the risk and picking it up from the well." The village chief glanced at Ningning's side.
Ning Ning followed his gaze, only to realize that there was a mask beside her pillow.
... fangs on all sides, ferocious and terrifying.
It's the owner's mask.
At first I thought it was made by the carpenter called by the village chief, but when I picked it up and took a closer look, I realized that it was different. The biggest difference was that it was too old and lacked maintenance. The original bright and eye-catching colors were now mottled. There is a long cut from the eye to the cheek, which looks like a knife cut with a backhand.
"This is God's will, and God's will wants you to be the landlord." The village chief turned around and shouted to the crowd, "Do you think so?"
"Yes, yes." "I also think it's better to be unmarried than someone who has already been married." "Hehe, this is a question of whether or not to marry someone, it's obviously..." "Yes God's will, the mask has been lost for so long and I can't find it, she found it as soon as she came back."
"Haha, since everyone agrees." The village chief clapped his hands, "Come in!"
The door suddenly opened, and two women walked in from the outside, holding a wooden plate in each hand, and the clothes and jewelry on the plate were not modern styles, but full of old and decadent atmosphere.
"...What are you doing?" Ningning asked.
"Lord Landlord, we will serve you." A woman laughed, and then the two of them couldn't help but suppress Ning Ning who wanted to escape, one clothed her, the other put jewelry on her, and finally the village chief came over in person, holding a mask in both hands , bit by bit on Ning Ning's face.
"I don't want to be the landlord." Ning Ning's voice came from under the mask.
"You have to be." The village chief stared at her eyes under the mask. "Something happened to your mother, but it's good to have you, no... We only have you now."
His eyes were so greedy, the eyes behind him were so greedy, those were not those self-sacrificing eyes that Ning Ning had seen.
It's the look of forcing others to sacrifice.
