Chen Yang held his hand to his mouth, breathing hot and wet: "Is there a rat hole in the room?"
Chao Jian lowered his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking, and made no sound.
Chen Yang used his knee to push Chao Jian's abdomen: "Get down a little, don't press me, I'm uncomfortable with you like this."
After a few moments, the heat from his body receded, and the hand covering his mouth and nose was removed, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Is there really a hole?" Chen Yang propped himself up on the bed and sat up, his wet back resting against the headboard. "Under the bed or somewhere else? How many holes are there?"
Chao Jian turned his back to him and faced the door: "A lot."
Chen Yang took a deep breath. He was not afraid of mice, but if there were too many of them...
Then isn't this room of theirs a rat's nest
Chen Yang was frightened by this thought. He was about to ask Chao Jian if there were mice in other people's rooms when he heard screams coming from next door.
Today is the first night here. Big Eyes Girl played rock-paper-scissors with Zhuzhu, and she won. Tonight she will sleep on the bed and Zhuzhu will sleep on the chair.
The big-eyed girl likes to sleep facing inward. She walked a lot in the town in the afternoon and was very tired. She fell asleep not long after lying down.
Confused, the girl with big eyes felt something crawling on her face.
When she touched it, she felt a small furry thing. She squeezed it unconsciously, and the thing slipped away from her hand and slipped under the bed.
"Ah!" The big-eyed girl ran out without even bothering to put on her shoes. She ran to Chen Yang's door and knocked on it frantically, "Mr. Chen, Mr. Chen, help me!"
Chen Yang pushed Chao Jian and said, "Let's go out and take a look."
Chao Jian lay on his side on the bed, his legs slightly bent, and said in a low, hoarse voice with a hint of irritability: "No."
"Then I'll go for a while. I'll be back soon." Chen Yang got out of bed and put on his shoes. His heels were pulled up and he walked out directly. When he reached the door, he looked back unconsciously.
The young man beside the bed had turned around at some point, with his back to him and facing the wall.
Chen Yang: “…”
Weren't you facing the door just now? Why are you turning around
Chen Yang's thoughts were quickly dragged away by the sound of collapse outside the door. He opened and closed the door quickly, trying his best to prevent mosquitoes from slipping in.
“What…” Chen Yang had just said two words when the little girl threw herself into his arms, hugged him and cried loudly. He pushed her away without thinking.
After pushing it, I was stunned.
It seems that the only time he won't reject it is when his partner hugs him.
If it were anyone else, no matter if they were men or women, young or old, they would find it hard to accept just by imagining it.
Ah, it’s not just Chao Jian who can do it, my sister is also available.
He likes his sister even if she hangs on him.
Chen Yang moved his feet to drive away the mosquitoes that surrounded him, and patted the frightened little girl: "Stop crying, tell me what's going on."
"There's a mouse." The big-eyed girl sobbed, "Mr. Chen, in my room... No, on the bed, there's a mouse on the bed!"
The person in front of me reacted calmly.
The girl with big eyes stopped sobbing immediately: "Is there something in your room too?"
Chen Yang thought, not stupid.
"There are some in our room, too." Ge Fei came out of the room and said, "I found three rat holes."
The big-eyed girl widened her eyes in shock: "Does everyone have it in their room?"
After a while, the big-eyed girl's question had an answer.
None of the six rooms were spared.
However, among this group of people, only the girl with big eyes had scratches on her face.
"I won't die, will I?" The girl with big eyes covered the left half of her face that was scratched. It was a rat, full of bacteria. Her skin was broken, and there was no vaccine here.
“No.” Teacher Xie patted his arms and legs. “Even if we are bitten by rats, we will not die from infectious diseases.” He said, “Because the injuries we get here will be gone when we return to the real world. We can’t take them back.”
After hearing this popular science lecture, the big-eyed girl's fear of death dissipated, but the psychological discomfort remained. She scratched her face and nervously put her hand in front of her nose to smell it: "My face smells bad. I suspect there is rat droppings on the bed, which I crushed."
Others who slept in the bed: “…”
Zhuzhu comforted the big-eyed girl: "It's okay, it's just a little nauseous, just wash your face a few more times and it will be fine."
"Yes, yes, yes, I'll go wash my face." The girl with big eyes looked around, and when she saw the wooden barrel by the well, she immediately ran there barefoot and dived into it.
Chen Yang kept shaking as he tried to catch the mosquito.
Teacher Xie asked, "Mr. Chen, does the mouse have anything to do with the mission?"
"Not sure." Chen Yang said.
I hope not.
At this moment, Widow Zhou's voice rang out in the darkness: "Hey guys, it's so late, why aren't you sleeping yet?"
The sound came suddenly, and the air in the yard suddenly became thin.
I don't know when the woman came out of the room. She walked from the darkness to the moonlight, concern written in her clear eyes.
Zhuzhu said, "Sister, there are mice in our room."
Widow Zhou looked very apologetic: "Yes, there were some. I forgot to say hello to you."
She smiled and said, "Don't worry, they won't attack people."
Everyone: “…”
Old Wu asked, "Aren't there cats in town? Why are there so many mice?"
He saw several groups of cats in the afternoon, some acting alone and some with their families. There were quite a lot of them. Logically, rats shouldn't be so rampant.
Widow Zhou made a startling statement: "The cat doesn't catch the mouse."
Everyone was stunned.
If it doesn’t catch mice, can it still be called a cat
Chen Yang seemed to be thinking: "Has the cat never caught mice, or did it catch mice in the past, but just stopped catching them one day?"
Widow Zhou said, "We stop catching fish the day the fish tide comes."
The yard became quiet.
Chen looked up at the waning moon and suddenly asked, "Does the cat eat fish?"
Widow Zhou said, "No."
Chen Yang asked calmly, "Is it also because you don't eat on the day when the fish tide comes?"
Widow Zhou nodded slightly.
Chen Yang retreated to the door of his room and stopped talking.
"Madam boss." Ge Fei grinned, "The fishing season is coming the day after tomorrow. We are all very curious about what the famous fish looks like. Can we go with you then?"
"I won't go," said Widow Zhou. "You are the mayor's guests, so you can tell him. But he has always been against people fishing, so he probably doesn't recommend you to go and watch the fun."
Chen Yang looked at the woman in the dim moonlight. She was a pretty girl from a small family. The collar of her coat was buttoned neatly and her behavior was conservative and proper.
"Then why don't you go find your own fish? If it's caught and eaten by someone, you..." Ge Fei pursed his lips, "Madam, is it true that eating fish can shorten your life? It sounds like a rumor, and we don't dare to believe it."
Widow Zhou showed a trace of sadness and desolation on her face: "It's true. The mayor knows. You can ask him."
She sighed softly: "I don't want to get involved in muddy water because I want to leave it to fate."
After Ge Fei asked what he wanted to ask, he became quiet as a chicken.
Qian Han leaned close to his ear and looked at him with admiration: "You are testing her, so cool."
Ge Fei: “…”
"I'll try it too." Qian Han said stupidly, "Madam, cats don't catch mice or eat fish, so what do they eat?"
Widow Zhou said, "Dish."
Qian Han was dumbfounded.
The others looked at each other in confusion. This meant that now in the town, people eat fish and cats eat vegetables.
After Widow Zhou returned to her room, Chen Yang and his group were still in the yard.
Chen Yang looked up at the second floor: "Did you see the merchants leaving the inn?"
Everyone shook their heads.
"No."
“No.”
"I only saw someone bringing food upstairs, but I didn't see them coming down," said Zhuzhu.
When Chen Yang heard Zhuzhu's words, he remembered the little girl beside the wooden barrel. He called out and hurried over.
“Crash—”
The girl with big eyes stuck her head out of the barrel and said, "Mr. Chen, you called me?"
Chen Yang looked at her: "Are you feeling better?"
"Much better." The girl with big eyes wanted to stand up, but she got stuck halfway through the movement. She said, "My legs are numb."
Zhuzhu ran over to help her.
The two little girls were biting each other's ears and whispering to each other. They seemed to be very close and it didn't look like they had known each other for less than a day.
A hand came up on Chen Yang's shoulder, accompanied by a smell of cigarette smoke. He turned around and said, "Aren't you asleep?"
"You guys have been making noises in the yard for a long time. I can't sleep." Xiangdong hung his arm on Chen Yang's neck. "So, did you make noises? Didn't the widow give me rat poison and mouse traps?"
Chen Yang mentioned the information revealed by Widow Zhou. He glanced at the taskers in the yard. The team of twelve was not complete. Only one person came out of some rooms. In some rooms, no one came out, but just talked through the door, such as Miss Qiao and Xiang Zimu.
Chen Yang thought about the single bed in the room. He hesitated for a moment, then took it out to share with Xiangdong.
"That's what it means." Xiangdong breathed into Chen Yang's ear, "If only one of you and your partner can survive, what will you choose?"
Chen Yang said: "I will try my best not to let that multiple-choice question appear."
Xiangdong paused: "You just... "
Chen Yang uttered a questioning syllable through his nose: "Hmm?"
Xiangdong rubbed his hair and said, "Damn it, go to bed."
"I have made a great discovery!" Qian Han shouted in surprise, "The cats here don't eat fish anymore, so if we catch the fish named after us and raise it, the chances of survival will be much greater."
Chen Yang shook his head: "Just the opposite."
"Why is it the opposite?" Qian Han didn't understand.
"Student Qian, your thinking logic is too simple. The cats in the town don't eat fish or mice, but mice eat fish." Teacher Xie started a small class, "Without cats as their natural enemy, mice can do whatever they want."
Qian Han blushed: "Yes."
"Moreover, rats reproduce quickly, are good at digging burrows, and are well-informed. Now that the cats in the town don't eat them, rats from the surrounding villages will flock here." Teacher Xie's tone was a little solemn. "We'd better find the person who has taken the most lifespans quickly, complete the mission and leave, otherwise we will most likely face a rat plague."
"I'm fine with rat plagues and plagues, they're not my fear point. I just feel that the fish is a bummer. Everyone has one of those fish, and if someone else eats it, it will die. If you raise one yourself, it will easily be eaten by rats." Ge Fei said, "It's a dead end."
Chen Yang's eyelids twitched. He had felt the word "dead end" before when he was worshipping his ancestors at the train station and in Laoji Village.
Those two have loopholes, so this one will have some too.
Hiding behind a dead end.
Qian Han pulled at his half-dried curly hair and said, "You say, if the fish is eaten by a mouse, does that mean its life span will be passed on to the mouse?"
Ge Fei said: "Maybe."
"If they catch me, I won't have to sleep any more and I'll have to watch over you every day." Qian Han's eyes showed a bit of despair. "If only my brother was here, it would be great. My brother is very smart and loves to solve problems. He will definitely find a way to solve it."
Chen Yang paused as he walked towards the door. He tried to think, what would Qian Qin do if he were there
Are there any hidden, unethical shortcuts to this quest
Chen Yang returned to the room. He took pictures everywhere with his mobile phone and even crawled under the bed to ask Jian to pull him out.
"I have to find the rat hole and find a way to block it with something," said Chen Yang.
"It's no use blocking them," Chao Jian kicked him, "If you block one hole, they will come out from other holes."
Chen Yang couldn't help but think of a saying: A mouse's son will dig holes.
"Never mind?" He looked at Chao Jian without giving up.
Chao Jian frowned and said, "Come up and sleep."
That's it, never mind.
Chen Yang comforted himself that they would not stay here for long and would go back after completing the mission.
The key is the mission.
So let there be rats, just make do with it.
However, this psychological preparation was useless. Chen Yang was still very uncomfortable. He asked Chao Jian to come down and he lay on the bed to look for rat droppings.
"No." Chen Yang said as he searched, "No rat shit, luckily, luckily."
Chao Jian: “…”
"Don't stick your butt out at me." Chao Jian said.
Chen Yang felt a sudden chill when he was mentioned. He went from lying prone to lying down. “I suspect all six rooms have been broken into by rats.”
"It's obvious." Chao Jian put his crutches on the bedside.
Chen Yang touched his nails which had grown a little longer: "Teacher Xie said there might be a plague."
Chao Jian lay beside him: "Give me the notebook."
Chen Yang found it and gave it to Chao Jian, and continued to ask: "What do you think?"
"Don't worry about anything else. Just remember your mission," Chao Jian took the wrinkled notebook, flipped it open, and fanned it. "Walk in a straight line."
Chen Yang leaned over, and the next moment he jumped up, pointed at the bed and said, "There's a rat hole behind this!"
Chao Jian was indifferent, with an attitude of "so what".
Chen Yang's face twitched. He pulled at the bed board and tilted his head to the left, then to the right, then down, trying desperately to see the hole.
Chao Jian said calmly, "If you insist on getting closer, aren't you afraid that when you look into the cave, there will be a pair of eyes looking at you?"
Chen Yang: “…”
Suffocated.
Chen Yang lay down quietly. After a while, he said, "The longevity fish is making the people in the town kill each other. It won't appear for no reason. I don't know how much Gao Degui has hidden from us. Widow Zhou also feels uncomfortable..."
There was only the cool breeze from the small notebook beside me.
Chen Yang fell into a deep sleep amidst the disorganized mission information. He had a dream, a nightmare.
In the dream, he was running in an open space, and the boy was crawling behind him with his broken legs, calling him "brother" over and over.
No matter how he ran, he couldn't get rid of the boy.
In the dream, Chen Yang ran so hard that he was physically exhausted and mentally collapsed. He fell to the ground and the boy crawled towards him little by little.
"Brother, why are you running? You said you wouldn't leave me again."
Chen Yang on the bed had a pale face, he was breathing rapidly, and the veins on his neck were bulging.
"Go away," Chen Yang's hands and feet moved erratically, his forehead covered with cold sweat, "Don't follow me, go... go away... don't come over..."
Chen Yang's struggling body was restrained by a force, and someone whispered something in his ear. Then, he felt a warm and soft touch on the tip of his right index finger.
Afterwards, the middle finger, ring finger of his right hand, and the middle finger of his left hand were also touched by that temperature.
Chen Yang moved his eyelids, trying to wake up, but his consciousness was dragged into the abyss. He stopped struggling and slept soundly.
It was daybreak and the town was as quiet as a sleeping baby, with only faint lights glimmering in some people's houses.
Yang Erzhu was pulled up by his wife.
"I was so angry that I couldn't sleep well the whole night. That guy surnamed Sun asked us to borrow a scoop net yesterday. Is that borrowing? That's robbery. But you, a useless thing, just let him take it away. You even said we were friends and wouldn't let me get the scoop net back. What a bullshit friend. He hasn't returned it to me yet. Is he not going to return it or what? Go to his house and ask for it!"
"Hurry up, get up!" Yang Erzhu's wife dragged and pulled him.
Yang Erzhu had no choice but to go out with sleepy eyes.
The road in the town was low and uneven. Yang Erzhu was yawning all the time and accidentally stepped into a pothole and fell.
"Why… "
Yang Erzhu climbed up in pain. With the help of the dim light, he saw that his elbow was broken.
The wind was a bit cold, Yang Erzhu shook himself and prepared to continue on his journey.
"I said...are you okay?"
A voice came from behind, with a concerned tone and a hint of mockery.
"Oh, nothing."
Yang Erzhu was too lazy to pay attention to this kind of pretended concern. He just responded casually and walked away without looking back.
He walked quickly, crossed the street, turned into an alley, and just wanted to take a breath.
"I said...are you okay?"
It was still that man's voice. He had been following Yang Erzhu.
Yang Erzhu looked back in surprise and said, "Brother, I'm fine, you..."
He saw who was coming.
It was a tall man standing a few meters away from him. His face could not be seen clearly, but the white bowl he was holding in both hands was very conspicuous against the dim background.
Yang Erzhu couldn't understand why a grown man didn't eat breakfast at home at this time, but instead brought a bowl out to care about others. What kind of thinking was this
The man stood there with his legs crossed, holding the bowl in his hands, motionless.
Yang Erzhu and he just faced each other like that, and no one said anything.
"Brother, I just fell, it's okay."
The wind was getting stronger, and Yang Erzhu felt a little uneasy for some reason, and even his tone of voice became polite.
"You go back too. Thank you, brother." Yang Erzhu said.
After hearing this, the man turned and left. Looking at the tall figure walking away, Yang Erzhu breathed a sigh of relief.
This trip to collect the net was not smooth. Yang Erzhu went to his friend's house and found the door locked. He asked the neighbors and found out that his friend's family had gone out last night. He didn't know where they went or when they would be back.
There was no other way, Yang Erzhu could only turn around and go home. He was no longer sleepy, but he was very hungry, his chest was sticking to his back, and acid was rising in his stomach.
It was still early, and Yang Erzhu didn't meet anyone on his way back. He returned home in the coolness outside.
"Is the dribble net coming back?"
As soon as Yang Erzhu entered the door, his wife came up and asked.
"No!" Yang Erzhu said helplessly, "No one is home. They went out last night."
"Going out? Why didn't you send the scoop net to us before that? I told you long ago that your friend is unreliable. You took my words as bullshit. If you were not incompetent and still wanted to save face..." Yang Erzhu's wife chattered on.
"Is breakfast ready?" Yang Erzhu asked.
"Ask, ask, ask. You only know how to ask. Can't you look inside the pot yourself?"
After serving his breakfast, Yang Erzhu stood in the kitchen and started eating it in big mouthfuls. When he was a little full, he couldn't help but think of the man he met on the road.
Looking back now, that person always gives him a familiar feeling.
Have you seen this somewhere before
No, Yang Erzhu was very sure. He had never seen that person before and even his voice was unfamiliar.
"Strange, what on earth is so familiar about it?"
Yang Erzhu muttered to himself in confusion, and when his eyes accidentally swept over the leftovers, his heart suddenly started beating wildly.
It's that bowl!
It was the bowl that the man had been holding, a large green soup bowl with floral patterns. Yang Erzhu was too familiar with it. It was clearly his own.
Home.
Thinking of this, Yang Erzhu hurriedly searched the kitchen, but couldn't find it, so he even looked in the cupboards.
"No! How could there be no!"
Yang Erzhu's heart felt like it was being scratched by something. He was still using that bowl last night, how come it was gone all of a sudden
Yang Erzhu's rummaging caused a lot of noise in the kitchen, which attracted his wife over and started scolding her.
"What the hell is wrong with you?!"
"Let me ask you, where is the big blue and white soup bowl in your house?" Yang Erzhu grabbed his wife's arm.
"I say... are you okay? Why are you looking for a bowl so early in the morning?" My wife's tone was full of concern, but mockery.
"I'm looking for..."
Yang Erzhu was about to answer, but he froze again. Even his open mouth seemed to be frozen.
After a long time, Yang Erzhu came back to his senses. He tightened his grip on his wife's fingers and asked word by word: "What did you say just now? Say it again!"
"I... I was wondering why you were looking for a bowl so early in the morning." Yang Erzhu's wife was frightened by his panic-stricken look.
"Yang Erzhu you..." She was about to ask again.
"Not this one." Yang Erzhu interrupted her, "The previous one, the previous one! It's the previous one, hurry up and say it!"
"I said...are you okay?"
The wife answered in surprise, using the same words, the same tone, with a mixture of concern and mockery.
What I said to that tall man.
Exactly the same!
Yang Erzhu grabbed his wife's collar tightly and yelled loudly.
"Tell me! Where did you put the bowl?"
Yang Erzhu felt his mind was in a mess. He couldn't understand anything at this moment, but he was sure that this matter must be closely related to his wife.
"You used that bowl again," Yang Erzhu stared at his wife's frightened eyes and asked again, "What did you do..."
His wife didn't expect that Yang Erzhu, who usually had a muffled voice, now looked so scary. The ferocious expression on his face made her feel breathless.
"It's... over there." My wife pointed to the trash can outside.
Yang Erzhu pushed her away and rushed outside, hurriedly pouring out all the garbage inside.
"Hua La La..."
A handful of white porcelain pieces fell out of the messy garbage, and...
A fish bone that had been gnawed into pieces.
"When did you eat this fish?" Yang Erzhu asked while half squatting and looking at the fish bones, breathing heavily.
"When you go out," said the wife.
"The name on the fish... Who is it?" Yang Erzhu's hands, which were supporting his knees, began to tremble.
"I don't know him either, but he should be a man." His wife hesitated and said, "I think his name is 'Zhao Yishi'."
"I ate the fish with a name on it, which robbed me of my lifespan. I was afraid that it would bring bad luck, so... I smashed the bowl that contained the fish after I finished eating."
The more Yang Erzhu listened, the more his hands shook. His wife had taken someone else's life, but now someone else's soul had come to visit him.
There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world.
"How come I didn't know you caught a fish with a name?" Yang Erzhu squatted down with weak legs, wanting to touch the fish bones but not daring to. He sneered and said, "You even hid it from me and sent me away when you ate the fish."
"Are you talking like a human? I caught the fish yesterday afternoon. I hid it in my trouser leg because I was afraid others would see it. I put it in the big tank in the yard with other fish when I got home. I forgot about it and only remembered it in the middle of the night." His wife argued, "I didn't tell you because I was annoyed by your nagging."
"You also know that I'm very afraid of death, but my physical condition is not good, and I'm always in pain. Now I'm better. I've gained a few decades of life for free. Then, can't our family live a peaceful life?"
Yang Erzhu thought with a pale face, a peaceful life? Is it possible? These names came so suddenly and strangely, could it be so simple
"Alright, I've already eaten it, what else do you want? It's not whole anymore if I dig it out." His wife took the broom from the corner and said, "Besides, what I ate was someone else's. Didn't I not touch the one you kept in the room?"
Yang Erzhu stood up suddenly: "You still want to touch my fish?"
"Don't you understand what I'm saying?" His wife was so angry that she threw the broom on the ground. "Why would I eat your fish? Do I want you to die?!"
Yang Erzhu moved his lips a few times: "You won't eat my fish, because the fish in your name is still in the river. Without me, who will help you catch it tomorrow?"
His wife glared at him.
The couple's faces looked uglier than each other.
"Erzhu, you ask me for a bowl one moment, and fish bones the next. What on earth..."
Yang Erzhu interrupted his wife: "No more."
He thought of the tall man and his hands began to tremble again. He hoped that things would be over quickly and that nothing strange would happen again.
"This matter must be kept secret. Eating a famous fish is equivalent to killing a person. If his family comes looking for us, we will be in trouble." Yang Erzhu warned cautiously.
"I know. Why should I tell anyone? Everyone eats secretly." His wife nodded, but she was a little disapproving in her heart. She thought, there are so many fish with different names now, and the town is in chaos. Who can control who
"Let's bury these things quickly." Yang Erzhu felt that the fish bones made him feel terrified, so he thought it would be better to bury them.
safe.
"You bury it." My wife answered casually.
Yang Erzhu bent down to pick up the broom and turned his head to glance at his wife inadvertently.
As a result, this sight scared him to death.
There was an extra half of his wife's body on her shoulders, like a conjoined twin.
It was a man, strong and muscular.
Yang Erzhu knew this person, he was the man holding the bowl!
Now he was actually growing on the shoulders of Yang Erzhu's wife, looking at the fish bones on the ground with no expression on his face.
There were only whites in his eyes, no pupils.
"Are...are you okay?" Yang Erzhu asked tremblingly.
"Ah?" His wife was a little puzzled. "I'm fine."
"Your shoulders..."
"Oh, frozen shoulder, an old problem, you know it." The wife waved her hand, "Please massage it for me later."
"I… "
Yang Erzhu wanted to say more, but stopped instantly.
Because he saw the extra half of the body slowly turning its head towards him.
Yang Erzhu stood there stiffly, his heart almost beating like an egg.
"ah… "
The man turned his head vertically, facing him, and slowly opened his mouth, letting out a hoarse groan, as if he was in great pain.
The man's voice grew louder and louder, and his mouth grew larger and larger, until its giant mouth took up most of his face.
"ah… "
The voice became more painful and struggling, and the hoarse voice turned into a high-pitched sharpness.
Yang Erzhu only felt pain in his eardrums. He covered his ears tightly, collapsed to the ground in pain, and his consciousness gradually became blurred.
After an unknown amount of time, Yang Erzhu was woken up by his wife.
"Two pillars, two pillars..."
Yang Erzhu opened his eyes with difficulty and felt a splitting headache. He looked at his wife's shoulder first.
Nothing at all.
Yang Erzhu closed his eyes and opened them again, still nothing unusual. His sweaty face regained some color. He was seeing things, it was impossible for another person to grow on one person's shoulders.
"Why were you going crazy just now? You were shouting and screaming, it was so scary." My wife seemed a little frightened.
Yang Erzhu got up with difficulty. Just as he was about to say something, he heard words that made his blood rush backwards.
"I said...are you okay?"
It wasn't his wife asking, it was a man's voice.
Yang Erzhu looked up suddenly and saw half of a man's body above his wife's shoulders.
The man was trying hard to stretch his neck and get his face close to her.
