Chapter Fourteen? Under the Darkness

Shhh—

In the mountains, Qu Xiu, who was sitting in front of the bonfire, would never have thought that his own courtyard had just entered the night before, and two uninvited guests. That's right, it was Wenhua and Wenjing.

For Wenhua, if you want to defeat your opponent, you must understand your opponent. Of course, she can completely let her subordinates collect various information, but she just wants to come and see it in person. Because she knows that some things cannot be described in words, she must see, listen, and touch it in person.

Wenjing is different. She was simply kidnapped. But this time she was not violently coerced, but was squeezed by words. The words in the daytime finally worked, and the boy's heroic complex forced him to sacrifice. Even though he was trembling, he was still brave and followed him tremblingly. Now he finally realized that the hero is not so good!

Speaking of which, this is the second visit in a short time. Although I came here last time, there was no fireworks here, but at least there were birds and dogs, and cats chasing and mice running. But tonight, this place is silent...

When Qu Xiu entered the mountain, the dog was destined to take it away. But what about those birds and cats? Even if they all ran away, what about the mice? Even if the mice followed, at least some crickets, grasshoppers, etc., right? As long as these insects are still there, they should always sing in the night. However, they did not...

Tonight, there is only a dead silence in this courtyard.

"Sister~"

Wenjing's voice trembled. Although it was already very low, it seemed like thunder in the dead silence, which scared Wenhua. So she stretched her index finger to her lips and shrewd at her younger brother. But she didn't expect that the boo was louder than the "sister", which in turn scared Wenjing to her.

In a panic, Wenjing stretched out her hands to make a pressing action, murmured in her mouth: "Little sound, small sound..."

As the brothers and sisters comfort each other, the voice became smaller and disappeared. The courtyard fell into dead silence again. A more accurate description should be that the brothers and sisters fell into this dead silence. At this time, the moonlight was like water, falling on the brothers and sisters, which made them feel like they were invisible.

For the siblings who have a ghost in their hearts, this feeling is so bad that every move that follows becomes awkward, like the two puppets in the hands of a crappy puppet master, funny and ridiculous.

Wenjing couldn't stand it anymore, so she broke the silence and suggested: "Sister, why don't we go back. This courtyard won't run away with long legs, so we can choose a good day to come again."

“Che——

Do you think it's a marriage for yourself and a good day?"

Wenhua couldn't stand this atmosphere, so she simply let go of the volume a little. However, in this silence, her voice seemed extremely cold. Not to mention her already scared brother, she felt cold herself.

She quickly lowered her voice, "Stop talking, the important thing is important. Don't you want to go back early? Get the important thing done quickly and we will leave immediately."

"Okay!" Wenjing nodded quickly and agreed, "But you always have to tell me what is a serious business, right? You insisted on pulling me over and just said to see. But, what exactly do we want to see?"

"Anything is OK, anything that can attract your interest or feel something is wrong."

"Hiss-" Wenjing felt a toothache, "Sister, since I entered here, I felt something was wrong. It was nothing, really! Look, it was so quiet that I could feel my heartbeat. Listen, pounding—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

After hearing what my brother said, Wenhua also felt the thrilling sound in her mouth, one after another... it seemed to jump out. The sound became louder and louder, echoing in her ears and brains, making her feel dazed. The world in front of her seemed to be about to break, and she was about to break with the world...

"sister--

What’s wrong with you?"

A warm little hand reached into her palm, and a crying cry pulled her back.

"Uh, nothing." Wenhua didn't plan to tell the truth, "I suddenly remembered some past events and became distracted."

"Don't scare me, okay?" Wenjing's voice couldn't help but raise a little, "Where is this? When did you even get distracted?

If you do this, I will..."

What responded to him was his sister's sweaty, cold and tight hand. So Wenjing suddenly realized that her sister was not telling the truth! But for some reason, the threat that had reached her mouth was swallowed by him. He tried hard to calm down and began to look carefully.

"Sister, everything here is wrong. Look at the moonlight in this courtyard - it's too bright, making people feel panicked. But the courtyard has not become clear because of this."

Wenhua disagreed: "I think it's quite clear."

"Um--

What I am not talking about is so clear, how can I say it... Well, it's like watching a scroll in front of a candlelight. The candlelight does illuminate the picture and let you see the painting full of fog, but the candlelight does not shine into the painting, and it cannot dispel even a little fog, allowing you to see the scene behind the fog.

Just like now, I can feel the night wind, but the tree in the courtyard cannot shake."

"You mean..." Wenhua shivered, "Don't scare my sister, I'm timid."

"I didn't scare you, didn't everything beside you?" Wen Jing raised her hand and pointed, "Look!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the giant trees in the courtyard suddenly vibrated, and the green trees slowly turned yellow, and then they fell colorfully, like butterflies flying around the tree.

As the waves spread, it seemed like something was shattered in front of my eyes. So the tree wrapped in butterflies in the sky was also shattered, and it turned into dust all over the ground. The night wind gradually became faster, and mixed with the dust all over the ground into a whirlwind like a dragon, soaring into the sky and leaving in a flash.

The moonlight like water finally illuminated the courtyard. The broken tiles and ruins seemed to have passed thousands of years.
