"What does this mean?" Xiangdong's intelligence and strength were not equal, so he couldn't understand it.
Chen Yang's intelligence was originally above the passing line. After long-term training from his partner, he has now reached a great level. He took the stone from Xiangdong and read the two sentences under the scratches twice.
“Even if you are destined to live a hundred years, you will still die without relatives at home.”
Chen Yang tried to do some reading comprehension: "This is the rule we discovered before. No matter how many lives are taken away, life or death is still decided by the family."
Xiangdong glanced at Chao Jian. The other party did not praise Chen Yang, nor did he show any relief. Why was his requirement so high
"What about the second sentence?" Xiangdong asked, "Greed consumes life, and carelessness ends life. What does it mean?"
Chen Yang said: "It's still the rules."
"A greedy person who eats fish will take the lives of others, but a non-greedy person who eats fish can end life and death." Chen Yang stroked the scratches on the stone, "Ending one's own life and death can also end the life and death of others."
"Just like the cat, it didn't want to eat the famous fish and take people's lives, so Ge Fei forced it to eat it, and it survived. Old Wu, whose famous fish it ate, also survived." Chen Yang put the stone into his pocket.
Xiangdong said: "The rule in the rules is to catch the name fish and let someone who is not greedy for life eat it, and then it can be resolved?"
Chen Yang nodded: "To put it bluntly, if I don't covet other people's lives and never have that thought, my name won't appear on the fish's back, and I won't fall into this curse."
"The mayor doesn't even eat ordinary fish. He's very afraid. Maybe he knows this rule, but he can't tell him directly, so he can only dissuade him."
"According to the above, my name wouldn't be on the back of that fish." Xiangdong stroked the stubble on his chin. "There was a fish named after Lao Wu in the river, so when the fish tide came yesterday afternoon, did he think of stealing its life?"
Chen Yang hesitated and said, "Let's move. When people reach middle age, they care more about the length of their lifespan than we do. They may subconsciously think that if they catch someone else's name fish and eat it, it would also increase their lifespan."
Xiangdong listened to Chen Yang's explanation and secretly observed Chao Jian. When Chen Yang finished speaking, the bruised face of the other party finally showed a little relief.
Damn it, I'm sick too.
Eat the dog food yourself.
Xiangdong sorted himself out for a while and said unhappily, "I thought I could complete the task, but after working on it for so long, there is not much progress."
Chen Yang didn't think so. He had made great progress that night, but the stone part didn't meet his expectations. He squatted down and asked the old servant: "Where did you find the stone?"
There was no reaction on the old servant's wrinkled face. He looked fearless and indifferent to life and death, with a look of relief.
However, when Xiangdong kicked him, he twitched and held his head to beg for mercy: "Don't hit me, don't hit me anymore... West, west, I don't know anything..."
"Be more specific!" Xiangdong yelled.
The old servant pointed to a location tremblingly.
Xiangdong kicked the gun to Chen Yang, who strode over a few rugged rocks and headed towards the place the old servant pointed.
Although it was the first time that Chen Yang touched a real gun, the feel did not seem unfamiliar to him. He unconsciously traced the lines of the gun body with his fingertips.
Chao Jian frowned and said, "Put it away and don't play with it."
Chen Yang wanted to retort that he didn't play, but his actions did show some interest.
"A discovery!" A shout came from Xiangdong.
Chen Yang glanced at the old servant on the ground. To be on the safe side, he raised his knife and chopped the man unconscious.
The master and servant fell into a coma, but their eyeballs were bulging out, which was creepy.
The Rocky Valley was full of strange rocks, and Chao Jian couldn't use crutches, so Chen Yang carried him to Xiangdong. All the way was like playing hopscotch, carefully looking for a slightly smoother stone to stand on.
When they arrived at the place, Chen Yang was sweating all over. He put Chao Jian down and wiped the sweat off his face with his coat: "Xiangdong, did you dig anything out from under the stone?"
He turned over some rocks to the east, grabbed two pieces of stone, and dug the soil underneath with both hands: "My adrenaline is surging. The last time it was so high was when I found a cemetery."
When Chen Yang heard the second half of Xiangdong's words, his adrenaline started to rise. He half-knelt and leaned forward, and saw the other party suddenly drop the stone and jump away as if he was scalded, accompanied by a series of screams.
The thing that caused Dong Ge to be so frightened was... an earthworm.
It is relatively large, with a body as thick as a middle finger, bluish-brown in color, and like a small snake, with a green head burrowing into the soil.
"Fuck!" Xiangdong was going crazy. He was disgusted by that thing and would never dig it up even if he was beaten to death. He also wouldn't get close to it and stood far away.
Chen Yang picked up the stone and pushed the earthworm aside.
The next moment he saw his partner jump back a distance, without even bothering to use his crutches, and his figure was unusually flustered.
Chen Yang: “…”
These two men, one who grew up on the edge of a knife and the other who is fearless, are now terrified by a earthworm.
It is true that everyone has something they are afraid of.
While Chen Yang was digging, he moved closer to Chao Jian, leaned against the strange rock, and said with his legs shaking, "I heard that you didn't take the medicine anymore. It must be very hard to control yourself."
The words show concern, but the tone is disdainful and sarcastic. If it's hard to bear, just don't endure it.
Chao Jian glanced eastward.
Xiang Dongchong raised his chin towards Chen Yang, who had his back to them, and said ambiguously, "He told me everything."
"If you're a real man, don't be a green tea!" Xiang Dong growled before attacking Jian, "Have some shame."
He smiled at Jian.
Alarm bells rang in Xiangdong's mind. Oh no! This guy is sick and can do anything!
Before Xiangdong could take emergency measures, he heard Chao Jian shouting to Chen Yang expressionlessly, "Brother, my legs hurt."
Xiangdong hadn't yet recovered from the shock of Chao Jian calling Chen Yang "brother" so naturally, when he saw Chen Yang instinctively drop the stone and run over, asking the other party with the halo of fatherly love if he was hit.
Every time, Xiangdong was defeated in one second: “…” I shouldn’t be here, I should be underground.
Chen Yang dug up something.
There were mountains of fish bones, small animal skeletons, and even those that looked like those of infants, piled up layer upon layer. Due to long-term decay, many of them had turned into bone residue.
"At least ten to twenty years." Xiangdong made a conservative estimate.
Chen Yang thought of the hell on earth in the rain, and then looked at these bones, which made him more certain of his guess.
For some reason, the people in this town killed many lives.
Rather than being a person's grudge, it is more like a curse from living creatures who want to punish the townspeople.
Chen Yang's calf was poked by the crutch, and his gaze shifted in the direction of Jian.
Master Zhu woke up. He didn't even look at the old servant. He was focused on checking his little red umbrella. His hands moved between nervousness and fear, switching between the two emotions.
Xiangdong thought of something and narrowed his eyes. He showed his white teeth in an ambiguous way, laughed sinisterly a few times, and rushed over. He showed his unique skills in stripping clothes and quickly stripped Master Zhu naked.
Master Zhu was stunned. He was already old and was the head of the family. He had never suffered such a punishment before.
Xiangdong gave Master Zhu a full body check. His face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot. "How many fish did you eat?"
Mr. Zhu was still confused, but when he heard this question, his expression obviously changed.
"No." Master Zhu is a man who has seen the world. He is not shy about being naked. He said righteously, "I would never do that..."
Point your left hand eastward.
Master Zhu looked over unconsciously and suddenly met the old servant's bulging eyes. The disguise on his face was instantly broken, revealing the fear hidden underneath.
"You have fish eyes too, do you want to see?" Xiangdong sneered, "I'm going to pee and let you look at it?"
Chen Yang, who had been holding back for a long time, said: "…"
"Xiangdong, you keep asking, I'm going to go take a walk." Chen Yang said as he looked at Chao Jian, signaling with his eyes that the other party should wait here, he would be back soon.
Chen Yang had only taken two steps when he heard the cold sound of crutches behind him.
The boy followed him.
When Chen Yang and Chao Jian came back after clearing their bladders, Xiang Dong was still questioning them.
Mr. Zhu didn't put on his clothes. He was a little confused and kept mumbling: "It's over, it's over..."
"It's over."
Xiangdong sat on the stone with his legs crossed, his back to the dawn glow. His patience was gone, and he looked like a demon: "After the first rain last night, you were finished."
It seemed that Mr. Zhu recalled something, the mumbling sound in his mouth stopped, and his face turned pale.
"Let me ask you again, how many fish did you eat?" Xiangdong scratched the burned part of his right arm.
Mr. Zhu's face turned even paler. He held the umbrella above his head with his free hand and hid his head under it: "... Seven, seven."
Xiangdong's pupils shrank. Seven? So many
Chen Yang was also a little scared.
If a person replaces a fish, it does not seem insignificant, it is still seven lives.
"Liar." In the silence, Chao Jian knocked on the umbrella with his crutch and uttered these two words indifferently.
The red umbrella in Mr. Zhu's hand trembled violently.
"Fuck it." Xiangdong kicked him on the back, the sole of his shoe crushing his spine, "I see you don't want to drink my toast, eat..."
"Ten!" Master Zhu moved aside in pain, "Yes, ten. I ate ten."
The sound of the wind in the rocky valley seemed to slow down.
Chen Yang's face was tense.
He spat to the east and said, ten fish and ten people. This old guy really dares to eat them. Greedy people are like a snake swallowing an elephant.
Ten is enough.
But if the old guys were the targets of the mission, they would have completed the mission and returned to the real world by now and would not still be here.
This means that ten is not the maximum.
Could it be that it’s just the sheer number of fish that’s alarming, but the actual number of lives lost is not that many
Xiangdong asked an idiotic question: "Old man, are all the fish you eat named after old people?"
Mr. Zhu didn't dare to look at him as if he were an idiot: "Young people."
Xiangdong went to check on Mr. Zhu's body again. Even if a fish has an average lifespan of 30 years, ten of them would be 300 years old.
This is still a guaranteed algorithm.
But why is there no mark on the old guy’s body
Xiangdong tilted his head back and looked at Chen Yang who was looking down at him.
Chen Yang's expression was not very good. He thought that as long as he took away a sixty years of life, there would be a mark. It turned out that this guess was wrong.
Is it possible that there is no mark at all
No matter how much you eat, there won’t be any
Chen Yang's heart sank, and at the same time he had a bad premonition. If the person who took away more lifespans was the same as the person who took away less lifespans, with only a pair of fish eyes and no other abnormalities, then how would they determine the mission target
What is the loophole in this mission
How many details in the rules have not been discovered
The corners of Chen Yang's mouth drooped. He hadn't slept all night, and coupled with the difficulty of the task, he was very tired and irritable.
Chao Jian looked at the dark circles under Chen Yang's eyes, and then his gaze swept to the red spots on his face and neck: "After asking, go back to the inn."
Chen Yang was distracted.
His head sank, a shadow fell in front of his eyes, and he pushed his baseball cap up towards Jane.
"Ask quickly and go back after you're done." Chao Jian looked at the pale sky, his eyes bloodshot.
Chen Yang calmed down and asked Master Zhu, "Where are your own fish?"
Mr. Zhu did not answer.
Xiangdong kicked the old man twice in a fit of rage, "He asked you a question and you didn't answer. What? Do you want to fight me one-on-one?"
"At home." Master Zhu screamed, "I raised him at home."
He has found a way through the words on the stone. All he needs to do is catch someone who doesn't want to eat the fish and lose his life, and let the other person eat his fish. Then he can buy some fish for one of the people in his family to eat, making sure he has someone to accompany him. Then he will be able to live a long and peaceful life.
Chen Yang asked Mr. Zhu where the fish came from.
This time, Mr. Zhu understood the situation and answered quickly. He said that most of the fish were caught by people in the town and sold to him.
After all, we are all smart people. It is better to live in luxury for a hundred years than to live in poverty for two hundred years.
"I exchanged money and fish with them. I never forced them to buy or sell, and I never used any tricks," said Mr. Zhu. "They are the culprits who used other people's lives to buy wealth. I am just doing business."
This expression was too ugly. It was unheard of and unseen. Chen Yang sneered: "Then what are you afraid of?"
"I'm afraid it's because they are unreasonable. They don't distinguish right from wrong. They don't allow anyone to leave the town. They want to wipe out everyone at once. They want to destroy the entire town. I'm actually innocent, but I've been implicated." Mr. Zhu felt wronged and frightened.
Chen Yang resisted the urge to take action. He squatted down, restrained his emotions and asked, "Who is being unreasonable?"
There was no movement under the umbrella.
Chen Yang asked again: "Did you and the Yun family press the two eyeballs at the staircase on the second floor of the inn? What does a sixty-year cycle have to do with a curse?"
Mr. Zhu suddenly raised his head from under his umbrella and said in disbelief: "You were on the second floor last night!"
"We all overheard it. Lao Yun was right. There really was someone eavesdropping outside the door. He wasn't playing tricks." Master Zhu was incoherent, his face grim. "That widow actually said the man ran away. She lied to us. What an unfaithful slut!"
Chen Yang took a deep breath: "You haven't answered our curse yet."
Master Zhu hid back under his umbrella. He was shaking, "I don't know what curse it is, Gao Degui..." He raised his voice in vain, "Go ask Gao Degui!"
Chen Yang's eyelids twitched. He looked at Xiang Dong and Chao Jian and said in a surprised tone, "What happened to Gao Degui? Hasn't he always been against you guys catching fish to steal life?"
"I remember he said we couldn't do that, otherwise it would be unfilial, unkind and unjust, and the heavens would strike us with lightning and the earth would not tolerate it."
Mr. Zhu did not answer. His body was shaking and he kept saying, "Ask him, ask him..."
"We will ask him, just tell us what you know first." Chen Yang said.
There was no response from under the umbrella.
Chen Yang stretched his neck and put his head under the umbrella. He saw something and sat down on the ground.
"Why are you so scared?" Xiangdong tried to open the umbrella, but it didn't move. He moved closer, and the next moment he cursed with a green face.
There is a woman's face with blood coming out of all seven orifices under the umbrella!
Her skull was connected to the ribs of the umbrella, and several pieces of skin on her face were stuck to the umbrella surface.
Chen Yang's hands, which were supporting the stone, trembled slightly. He was most afraid of female ghosts and the close distance made the impact too great. He stood up, holding Chao Jian's crutches, and said hoarsely, "It's not Master Zhu inside..."
Before Chen Yang could finish his words, the red umbrella suddenly grew larger and strangely closed up, as if someone had grabbed Master Zhu, and Zhu's miserable screams could be heard from inside.
Accompanied by the sound of something being cut and torn down bit by bit.
Then there was a puffing sound.
It sounded like a watermelon being squeezed and popped.
A large amount of bright red blood splashed out, mixed with many blood clots.
Chen Yang was looking at Chao Jian and didn't have time to dodge, so both he and Chao Jian were covered in a lot of the stuff. Xiangdong was the type of person who, if one person's food is full, the whole family will not be hungry, so he dodged very quickly.
After a while, the umbrella fell to the side, revealing a large pool of blood and flesh.
There was not a piece of skin or a broken bone.
Chen Yang looked at the umbrella, his eyes swept across the clean umbrella surface and umbrella ribs, and guessed how they were made.
“Take an umbrella.”
Chen Yang's face turned pale at the voice in his ear. He turned to Xiang Dong and said, "You take it."
Xiangdong was very happy to take this job. In this way, he could not only take a big step towards pissing Chao Jian off to death, but also win the favor of Chen Baicai.
But he suddenly wanted to be a human being.
"Chen Yang, I suggest you take it." Xiang Dong said, "Only by facing your fear can you overcome it."
Chen Yang nodded: "That makes sense. I'll get you that green earthworm..."
Go east immediately.
"This umbrella belongs to a female ghost." Chen Yang looked at Chao Jian in his dying struggle, his whole body in material resistance.
Chao Jian slightly pulled the purple corners of his lips, and said with a smile: "Which mission are we on now, brother?"
“…” Chen Yang silently picked up the umbrella and stuffed it into his backpack without even looking at it.
It was the fifth mission. He had witnessed his teammates turning into plants, dying in various tragic ways, coming into contact with child ghosts, male ghosts, and female ghosts. He had entered and exited Chao Jian's illusion. He had also unknowingly adapted to the life and death situations in the mission world and seemed to be fearless.
It makes no difference.
He is still afraid of ghosts, especially female ghosts.
Natural.
I don’t know why I’m afraid. Chen Yang suspects that he has been molested by a female ghost or deeply hurt in his previous life.
"What about the old servant on the ground?" Chen Yang asked.
Chao Jian said: "No matter."
When Chen Yang and Chao Jian were returning eastward, they passed by the land temple. They did not see the crazy woman, and there was no trace of her return on the ground.
"Let's go, she will come to find us." Chao Jian said.
Chen Yang pulled the heavy backpack upwards, and the fragments of the stone statue were in front of him.
Afterwards, Chen Yang and the other two went to the mayor's house, but didn't see anyone.
At this time, the sky is just getting light, where is Gao Degui
"I wonder how much that bastard has hidden." Xiangdong walked around several rooms. The three cats were not there. "Could he be the target of our mission? He hid after his eyes were exposed."
Chen Yang looked around Gao Degui's room, not a single fishy smell. "I don't know. I'll tell you when I find it."
"There's no point in looking for him." Xiangdong said, "The town is so big, he's a local and knows everything, but we're from outside and don't know anything, how can we find him?"
Chen Yang asked in a confused tone, "Are you hungry?"
Xiangdong's stomach answered for him.
Chen Yang's stomach and Xiang Dong performed a duet. He rubbed his face, not only hungry but also tired: "Let's go back and replenish our energy first, and then split up to look for it in the morning."
"Don't follow me in the morning. Rest in the inn." Chen Yang turned and said to Chao Jian.
Chao Jian walked out on crutches without saying anything.
As he stepped over the threshold, the crutch hit the door, which made a frightened "clang" sound.
Chen Yang's scalp tightened when he heard this.
Xiangdong couldn't help but say, "Weren't you two inseparable at the train station?"
Chen Yang closed the door and left: "I needed Yang energy at that time."
Xiangdong put his hand on Chen Yang's shoulder: "Old Chen, you are great. When you need him, you want him to follow you. When you don't need him, you just..."
"It's a very normal thing. Why does it sound so weird when you say it? Is your brain full of garbage? I saw that he was tired from walking with crutches." Chen Yang interrupted Xiang Dong, "His hands are full of calluses."
Xiangdong locked Chen Yang's neck and asked, "Did you touch it?"
Chen Yang bent his elbow and said, "Why should I touch his calluses? Can't I see with my eyes?"
Xiangdong covered his injured waist, his face flushed and his neck thickened with pain. The man named Chen was so cruel that he used all his strength. When he got to Chao Jian, he coaxed him in various ways and showed care for the giant baby Chao.
The town is quiet. There was smoke from cooking fires at this time yesterday, but today it seems like an empty town.
Where have all the people gone
Chen Yang smelled the fishy smell in the air and looked around as he walked. He caught a glimpse of a blurry figure in the distance and opened his eyes: "Is that the painter?"
"Besides him, who else is like a mop?" Xiangdong said.
Chen Yang looked at it in combination with Xiangdong's description and found it very apt. The painter's torso was very tall and skinny, with long hair flowing down his back, not like a mop at all.
The painter was walking while dragging his injured leg, and Chen Yang and the other two quickly caught up with him.
Once the two sides exchanged information, they remained silent.
Chen Yang learned from the painter that the cat was able to run on the ground and had incredibly strong vitality.
He then thought, this town is not normal, so it's nothing that the cat did that.
Xiangdong saw that the painter was half dead and asked him if he needed help.
The painter declined, "No thanks."
"Why are you trying to be so brave? You are just like a ghost, and there is only one difference: you can breathe." Xiangdong carried him on his shoulders. "I carried the diamond twice, so I still made a profit, not a loss."
As he said this, he strode towards the inn.
Chen Yang took off his backpack, looked at Chao Jian and said, "Let me carry you too, it will be faster."
Chao Jian was silent for a few moments, then took his bag and put it on his back. He put away his crutches and pressed his tall body forward.
Chen Yang felt that the boy’s mood was a little better than when he was at Gao Degui’s house. He carried the boy upstairs, and as he walked, he felt inexplicably at ease.
The inn was deserted, as was the town.
There was a scent of rice soup in the kitchen. Chen Yang went over to see a woman with black hair and a white face cooking porridge. He was stunned: "Where is the cook?"
Seeing the other party shaking his head, Chen Yang immediately asked: "What about Widow Zhou..."
Xiang Zimu took the iron spoon and stirred it in the white pot. She grabbed a handful of chopped vegetables and threw them in, then continued stirring: "I just left the room this morning and didn't see anyone."
Chen Yang was about to ask something when a joyful voice suddenly rang out from behind him: "Mr. Chen!"
It was Qian Han. His burned arm was wrapped in gauze, and he looked in good spirits.
Chen Yang's attention instantly shifted from Xiang Zimu to Qian Han. He asked him what happened in the room last night and why Old Wu was cooked.
Qian Han glanced at the young man beside Chen Yang and thought he looked like a ferocious beast guarding a treasure in a novel. He stopped approaching and said, "It's Ge Fei."
"It was too hot and humid last night. We were all very happy when it rained. We felt it would be cooler. Old Wu said there would be fewer mosquitoes on rainy days, so we could open the windows to get some fresh air. Ge Fei by the window probably opened the window to ease the tension between him and the other party."
Qian Han's face turned pale when he said this: "Old Wu and I were also there at the time. Ge Fei noticed that something was wrong with Yu, so he pulled Old Wu and me in front of him. I reacted quickly and didn't escape that disaster."
"Dude, you're such a jerk!"
A sarcastic laugh came from the back door.
Ge Fei stood at the back door, his head and face wrapped in gauze, like a cocoon: "We are teammates after all, you are confusing right and wrong and pretending to be innocent, isn't that too much?"
Qian Han's eyes widened: "I didn't!"
"You are telling lies!" Qian Han was very emotional. "Mr. Chen, everything he said is false. Don't believe him. I am not confusing right and wrong. What I said is true..."
When he saw someone coming out of the kitchen, he rushed over and said, "Ms. Xiang, you can testify for me."
Xiang Zimu's voice was light: "I'm not in the same room with you, so I can't testify."
Qian Hanbao's tears fell from his eyes: "Yes..."
Xiang Zimu glanced at the people in the yard: "The porridge is ready."
There was an incongruous sense of tranquility about her: "What's the matter? Let's talk while we eat?"
After a while, the group sat at a table with hot vegetable porridge in front of them. It tasted good with salt and oil.
Xiangdong went to sleep without eating, and the painter did not come over.
Big Eyes Girl and Zhuzhu were not awake yet, and Miss Qiao was not in the inn.
Sitting at the table were Chen Yang, Chao Jian, Xiang Zimu, as well as Qian Han and Ge Fei, who were accusing each other of lying.
Xiang Zimu didn't seem to be curious about who was real and who was fake. She filled a bowl of porridge and sat in the corner eating quietly, with no intention of joining in.
Chen Yang leaned back in his chair, staring at Ge Fei with an inquiring look: "Where did you go last night? Why did you come back just now?"
"It's a long story." Ge Fei smiled bitterly.
Ge Fei's statement was exactly the opposite of Qian Han's. He said that it was Qian Han who opened the window and pushed Lao Wu out of the window in order to protect himself.
"Old Wu's body was half outside the window," Ge Fei recalled, gasping for air. "It was horrible. The rain wasn't rain, it was boiling water. It had consciousness and would run towards people on its own."
"At that time, I asked him why he did that. He stared at me, as if he was going to push me into the rain." Ge Fei pointed at Qian Han, "He gave me the feeling that he had become a different person. I ran away as soon as the rain stopped."
Qian Han pursed his lips: "Ge Fei, I have no grudge against you, you..."
"That's what I was going to say!" Ge Fei slumped his shoulders after yelling, "Brother, you've been bewitched by a ghost and don't remember anything. Don't trick me."
Qian Han's eyes were dazed: "I am bewitched..."
He quickly regained consciousness, stood up and asked, "What about the wound on my arm?"
"You got burned when you opened the window. If Old Wu hadn't stopped you, you would have been the one cooked." Ge Fei chuckled. "Old Wu came back from the Stone Valley last night and was killed by you right after he escaped from danger."
Qian Han fell back into the chair with a pale face, his body shaking continuously.
Chen Yang stirred the bowl with a spoon. He remembered the time at Xiaoyin Island when Zhou Xiaoxiao and Huang Qing both told the truth but no one believed them.
This time he did not easily distinguish the true from the false and planned to observe secretly.
"How did you get the injuries on your head and face?" Chen Yang asked Ge Fei.
"I got burned by the second rain." Ge Fei said, "I was wandering around the town. The rain came without any warning. Fortunately, I hid quickly."
He sighed with lingering fear: "I ran to the pharmacy and happened to run into the doctor's family members who were packing up his belongings, so I asked them to bandage my wound."
Chen Yang glanced at Qian Han, who was doubting his life, and stole a glance at Ge Fei, who had escaped death. Both of them had the same smell of medicine. He blew on the porridge without saying anything else. Just as he was about to eat, he was interrupted by Chao Jian's action.
Chao Jian only took two bites.
Chen Yang saw Chao Jian push the bowl aside, and he whispered, "Not tasty?"
Chao Jian placed his hands on the table, covering his tired face with his palms: "It smells weird."
Chen Yang took a bite and tasted it: "No."
Chao Jian said nothing.
Chen Yang put the porridge on the table to let it cool. He rummaged through the kitchen to find the noodles, quickly cooked a bowl of noodles for his partner, and fried two poached eggs.
After a while, Zhuzhu woke up.
When Chen Yang went over, he saw her sitting on the edge of the bed, staring blankly at the big-eyed girl on the bed.
The girl with big eyes was wrapped in gauze all over her body. She was lying straight like a mummy.
Chen Yang learned the cause of last night's incident from Zhuzhu.
The big-eyed girl opened the window.
"She seemed to be fixed by the window. I wanted to pull her back, but the rain seemed to have consciousness..."
Zhuzhu burst into tears.
Chen Yang waited until she finished crying before asking, "Then why did you fall into a coma?"
Zhuzhu shook her head: "I don't know."
"My memory stays at the moment when I was about to rush to the window to pull her out." Zhuzhu hit her head. She looked at her roommate on the bed sadly and sobbed, "Mr. Chen, will she be okay?"
Chen Yang said: "When we find the target, she can go back as long as she is still breathing."
Zhuzhu cried with joy: "That's good, that's good..."
Chen Yang returned to the room, took off his shoes, lay down on the bed in wrinkled clothes, and prepared to rest for a while.
Chen Yang was drowsy and felt a cool breeze blowing. His consciousness immediately sank.
Chao Jian was leaning on the edge of the bed with most of his body outside. He had one leg on the ground and the other leg bent casually. He held a small fan in his hand and fanned himself with it.
Chen Yang turned over, moved his face forward, and pressed it on the back of Chao Jian's hand.
Chao Jian pulled his hand out, palm facing up, and put it back in its original place.
In the yard, Zhuzhu washed her face and sat by the wall where the morning light couldn't reach. She took out her cell phone and opened it.
The screen saver is a selfie of her, which she took at the comic convention before coming here.
Non-mainstream lolita outfit, with blue hair and clothes, and a scissor hand gesture.
It's only been a few days, but I feel like I've grown so old.
Zhuzhu tapped the gallery icon and flipped through the photos she had taken here. After flipping through them for a while, she put her phone down and held it in her hand, leaning her head against the cool wall, and fell into a drowsy state.
Just when Zhuzhu was about to fall asleep, her consciousness struggled to wake up. There were too many photos on her phone and it was a bit stuck.
Clear some of them out.
Some of them were taken several times.
Zhuzhu pressed the button on the right side of the phone to light up the screen, and unlocked it with a swipe of her finger. She flipped through the photos one by one and deleted quite a few. Then she clicked on the phone manager and tapped on the speed-up function.
After finishing everything, Zhuzhu closed all the windows, closed her eyes and leaned back.
But this time she sat against the wall for a long time, but her consciousness couldn't blur and sink. She couldn't fall asleep no matter what, and she always felt something was wrong.
"Where is it?"
Zhuzhu was puzzled and kept thinking about it.
Suddenly her heart tightened and she finally remembered what was wrong.
“It’s a screen saver photo!”
That face didn't seem to be mine.
Zhuzhu was frightened by her own thought. She unlocked the door too quickly just now. Maybe she had seen it wrong.
She lifted the phone from her fingers again and pressed the side button.
The phone lit up, and the blue light from the screen made her pale face look a little blue.
After seeing the photo on the screen saver, Zhuzhu was so scared that she immediately threw her phone away.
That's not a picture of her at all.
Even though it's the same clothes, the same background, and even the hand shape is the same.
But that face had thin eyebrows, big eyes and a slightly collapsed nose.
Zhuzhu is so familiar with this person, she is the girl with big eyes!
Zhuzhu looked at the phone tremblingly, and the person in the screensaver photo turned his eyes and had a weird smile on his face.
