Fang Daichuan noticed something, he stood behind Li Sinian helplessly, and touched Li Sinian's shoulder.
Li Sinian bent down and brought the lighter closer to the corpse in the corner. The corpse was half up and half leaning against the stone wall, surrounded by a lot of algae, presumably it had been soaked in water for a while after death. The wall behind him was covered with moss, and a shade-loving plant struggled out of the thin dust of the stone wall, wrapped around the dead bone and carrion, and in the black eye socket, a small white flower bloomed.
Li Sinian lightly brushed off the dust and water plants on the bones, the water plants were no longer entangled, the dead bones had no support, and they scattered all over the ground in an instant. The white skull rolled twice at the feet of the two of them, and stopped at the edge of the puddle, and the little flower in the eye socket shook slightly.
Li Sinian collapsed in an instant, his expression was an unbelievable astonishment, he even turned his head and smiled at the corner of Fang Daichuan's crooked mouth, as if laughing at the untimely blooming head. Then he turned around quickly, raised his left hand, put the back of his hand on his lips, and slammed his whole body heavily on the stone wall, as if gently kissing the pair of rings on his little finger.
Fang Daichuan lowered his head and did not dare to speak. He picked up the skull in silence. He didn't know whether it was appropriate to poke it on the ground or what to do. After all, he was Li Sinian's biological father. After thinking about it, he obediently held it hand.
Li Sinian slammed his head heavily against the stone wall, his shoulders kept shaking. In the darkness, Fang Daichuan looked at his silent back, and could hear his suppressed guttural voice, as if he was swallowing tears hard.
"You... sorry," Fang Daichuan thought for a long time, then walked over to comfort him dryly, "I know this is just a scene, but..."
He leaned against the stone wall, not too close to his face, just looked down at the skull in his hand, and said, "Your father means, I certainly don't want you to be too sad." The skull he was holding was like a flower with a strange shape Fang Daichuan sighed in his heart, "Look, uncle seems to know that his son will do everything possible to find him, and a flower blooms in his eye socket, does it seem to give you a sign of life?"
——This flower blooms strangely and honestly, like the last vitality left by this long-gone life in the world.
Li Sinian's forehead was pressed against the stone wall, and the back that flowed from his body filled the room. "I'm mentally prepared," he swallowed, with a strong nasal sound in his voice, "I just... didn't react for a while."
He turned his head away and cleaned up the expression on his face, then turned to look at the bone in Fang Daichuan's hand. Fang Daichuan turned on the lighter and secretly looked at his face. Li Sinian looked as usual, but his nose was red.
Li Sinian took off his shirt, pulled out the flower, and wrapped his skull tightly.
"I want to take him back, I can't keep him here..." Li Sinian sniffed, raised his head, and stared at Fang Daichuan, as if waiting for Fang Daichuan to refute. For the first time, this stubborn and impulsive look unique to young people appeared on his face, unlike the usual sophistication and insight of watching fire from the other side.
On the contrary, Fang Daichuan breathed a sigh of relief. If Li Sinian insisted on keeping his father's bones contained, the two of them would not be able to transport them out no matter what. If Li Sinian's assumption was correct, and the only way to escape was when the sea water filled the cave, then the time left for them would not be too long. If the two of them can go back together, everything will be fine, and Fang Daichuan really has no hope if he brings a rotten and bald corpse with him.
However, it is acceptable to take only one skull.
"Of course you can't keep Uncle here," Fang Daichuan simply took off his shirt, wrapped around the bony cloth bag, and twisted the rest of the cloth into two strands of rope, and tied it around Li Sinian's waist when he was about to go out. "Although we don't know Can the two survive to the end, but at least be buried on the beach, after so many years, my uncle must be exhausted."
As soon as Fang Daichuan finished speaking, he felt that he had said something stupid. He carefully looked at Li Sinian, but Li Sinian was expressionless, just staring at the small handful of cloth bags in his hand, and slightly closed his eyes.
The two sat opposite each other in the dark for a while, and neither of them spoke for a while.
Fang Daichuan was afraid of Li Sinian's wild thoughts, so he desperately tried to find some topics to mix in.
"Oh, by the way, I haven't had time to ask you yet," Fang Daichuan said bluntly, "Did you close that window last night?"
"?" Li Sinian raised his head, his expression was not as shrewd and indifferent as usual, his eyes were empty, his face was blank, and he seemed to have completely forgotten about the window.
"It's the window in the corridor," Fang Daichuan explained with his head down. Thinking of his own reasoning and Li Sinian's deception, he still felt a little depressed. "Liu Xin and you came up one after another. He said that when he came up, the window was closed. .When I asked you, you said no.—You lied to me. I really don’t understand why you open and close the windows. I really can’t think of other possibilities except that you are sipping a prophet. But Liu Xin also said that he is not a prophet, but you are the prophet..."
Fang Daichuan dropped this blockbuster, and indeed achieved his original goal. At this moment, Li Sinian was full of worries and turned into helplessness: "It's because of that window that you doubt me?"
Fang Daichuan quickly raised his eyelids to glance at him, and nodded obediently.
Li Sinian sighed, and he stroked his hair irritably, as if trying to find some clues in the chaos. He said: "I did close the window. Let me explain it to you from the beginning. It's like this. When I went out, I found some murals faintly floating on the wall of the corridor. I counted them, and our number, The gender is the same, so I wonder if this boss is related to the events of the year. I use this killing game to find out something. Yang Song's father died, Ding Zihui's mother committed suicide, and Du Chaosheng seems to have died. A secretary, Niu Xinyan died of her husband, each of them had a reason for such a game. I watched it for a while, and was anxious to go out to check people. I didn’t understand, so I went downstairs. When I came back, I found the window It was opened. I thought that someone must have understood the hints in the painting, so they would want to use the rain to wet the wall to see it more clearly. There was no one in the corridor at the time. From my point of view, the one with the window Man, since I can understand the hints from the boss, I must know some inside story, which must have something to do with the deaths of so many people back then. With this in mind, I secretly played a hand, closed the window silently, and wanted to give that The person who opened the window has a little psychological pressure, and see who will mention hanging pictures or windows tomorrow."
Fang Daichuan raised his head in astonishment.
"In the end, you pulled me over and told me that you drove it." Li Sinian sighed helplessly, "What can I say? You are a passerby who has nothing to do with this situation.——I will follow what you said casually." After saying a few words, who knew you would be entangled with a window... I am really convinced."
Hearing this, Fang Daichuan couldn't help but smacked his forehead with embarrassment.
"In your mind, raising a white shark, not to mention goldfish, is probably rich." Li Sinian concluded feebly.
Fang Daichuan froze in frustration. Sure enough, if you are stupid, you should not do mental work. Not only will you be disgusted by reasoning for a long time, but you will also be slapped in the face until you are hurt.
"However, it can't all depend on me," Fang Daichuan defended his IQ, "Since ancient times, the witch has been on the wrong team. You are so weird. I don't know you, so why should I trust you?"
Hearing this, Li Sinian suddenly raised his head and asked helplessly, "You don't know me? Do you really not remember?"
Fang Daichuan was stunned: "Remember what?"
Just as Li Sinian was about to answer, the sound of gurgling water suddenly sounded outside.
Both of them froze for a moment, and hurried out to check.
I saw water gushing out from the hole when they came. The sea water turned white foam, brought sand, stones and aquatic plants, and rushed up. In just a few minutes, it rose to the ankle level.
Li Sinian's face was stern.
He went back inside in three steps at a time, bent down and picked up the still-rooted bones and piled them up in the corner, tied them firmly with water plants, and tied them to the stones in the corner.
"Hurry up!" Fang Daichuan completely forgot what they were talking about before, and shouted outside, "The water is rising!"
Li Sinian stared at the small pile of bones, feeling the cold sea water slowly creeping up his legs. He closed his eyes, picked up the wrapped skull, turned around cruelly and went out of the room.
The outside has already reached the waist, and the sea water is rotating in circles in the cave, forming a vortex with considerable resistance. Li Sinian walked over with great difficulty, holding his skull firmly in front of his chest. The sound of the water was already very loud, and in addition to being in a relatively large airtight environment, the sound of the water and the echo made the whole cave seem to be shaking.
"Are you ready?!" Fang Daichuan yelled, the water had already reached their chests.
Before the water submerged, Li Sinian nodded decisively at Fang Daichuan.
Plop—the two plunged into the water at the same time. Li Sinian was good at water, grabbed the cloth bag with one hand, and firmly grasped Fang Daichuan's wrist with the other. Fang Daichuan was already dizzy in the whirlpool, unable to tell the direction.
Li Sinian stepped on the water, and when there was the last space left, he supported Fang Daichuan and let him take his last breath.
The power of the water flow stopped instantly.
At that moment, the two rushed in the direction of the road at the same time.
