Even the ghost hats on their heads were given by the fat aunt, so the two of them stepped forward to help the fat aunt up without much hesitation, and then asked: "Auntie, where is your home?"
This means sending her back.
The fat aunt was very happy: "Thank you so much, kid, my home is on that street over there -"
The fat aunt pointed to the row of villas not far away: "If you send me back, I will give you a gift."
The fat aunt said this, but neither Cui Yueqing nor Tao Yang took the fat aunt's words to heart. After all, the reason why they helped the fat aunt was not for the gift from the fat aunt.
The two people supported the fat aunt and walked forward. Along the way, the fat aunt was praising them, sometimes praising them for being good-looking, sometimes praising them for being kind. The compliments made both of them feel a little embarrassed, and they also temporarily forgot about Wan Li's death.
brought haze to them.
When the three of them came to a fork in the road, the fat aunt suddenly changed her voice and asked them: "Do you want to live forever?"
Live forever?
The sudden change of topic stunned the two of them.
But soon, Tao Yang realized: "Who in this world doesn't want to live forever."
Cui Yueqing also nodded: "Yes, it's great to be alive. You can eat, drink, sleep, and do whatever you want."
It's a pity that they have entered this escape game now, and they don't know if they can get back alive.
This question made Cui Yueqing and Tao Yang feel depressed again. Thinking of the tragic situation when Wan Li died, they felt a little uncomfortable all over and their faces became ugly.
But the fat aunt smiled, and she continued to ask: "Even if you live forever and can only remember one day's events, do you want to live forever?"
Live forever, but only be able to remember the events of one day.
Isn't this equivalent to living for only one day?
This is to be bound to the same day and never be able to escape.
How can we live forever? This is clearly an eternity without reincarnation!
Thinking of that scene, the two of them couldn't help but shudder, and said in unison: "No."
"It's better to die in peace if you can only remember one day's events. After you die in peace, you can live for at least several decades."
Cui Yueqing said this, and the fat aunt understood. A mysterious smile appeared on her face, but it was fleeting. At this moment, suddenly, the sound of rolling axles was heard behind them. The three of them turned their heads together and saw a car.
The pumpkin car drove slowly towards them from far to near. Under the dim light, it could be seen that the driver was an old man with a white beard. It seemed that he caught their eyes and the old man accelerated the speed of the pumpkin car.
In just one or two seconds, the pumpkin car drove in front of them.
The old man's face became clearer, and he looked very kind. As soon as he saw the three of them, he immediately asked: "Want to take a ride?"
After that, his eyes fell on the heads of Cui Yueqing and Tao Yang: "I only need two ghost hats."
Although Cui Yueqing and Tao Yang are game novices,
But they also know that the ghost hat is a prop that can protect their safety. If nothing else, it is said that after they put on the ghost hat, they no longer encountered children blocking their way.
It can be said that the reason why they agreed to send Fat Aunt home was precisely because of this.
Now, when the old man came and asked Cui Yueqing and Tao Yang for ghost hats, their faces suddenly fell: "Don't sit down."
"But her foot is injured." The old man could tell at a glance that there was something wrong with the fat aunt's foot: "If there is a car to take her back, she can recover faster."
"We can also send her back. Anyway, aunt's home is not far from here."
"It's indeed not far away, but I just came from Wuyuan Street and saw people in the church looking for people who disrespect God. The custom of this town is that you can't get hurt on Halloween. If you get hurt on Halloween,
, that is disrespecting God, and disrespecting God will be punished,"
"Oh, I don't know if you saw it. Someone was beaten to death on the cross just now. He died at such a young age. How long do you think she can hold on?"
She was referring to the fat aunt.
The two of them didn't believe it: "Being injured means you are disrespecting God?"
They looked at the fat aunt, who sighed and nodded: "Yes, because you are not wearing Halloween-related costumes, I know you are from outside, and I didn't want to tell you about this, but
…”
She said, then looked at the old man: "Can it be cheaper? You know, without this hat, they would meet children who block the road and ask for candy, and they don't have candy. If the children can't get candy, they will
It will hurt them."
"Of course not." The old man refused without thinking: "Two ghost hats, I can send you back and make your legs heal as soon as possible. This saves your life, and they -"
"They won't die without the ghost hat. At most, they will lose arms and legs. These are nothing, right?"
The old man's attitude was very firm, but the fat aunt felt a little in danger for a moment. She looked at Cui Yueqing and Tao Yang who were standing aside: "Children, you... why don't you go first, I... after all, I am old, even if I am caught
, that’s all it’s a dead life.”
"But you are different. You are so young and healthy. You still have a bright future. I don't want to drag you down."
Cui Yueqing and Tao Yang never expected that things would develop in this direction. Originally, they wanted to send Fat Aunt home and go back to the villa, but now the old man talked about the rules of the town, and the conversation between the two seemed like they didn't want to
If you hand over the ghost hat, Fat Aunt will die.
The two of them didn't know what to do for a while. When the fat aunt said this, Cui Yueqing frowned: "Aunt, don't say that, we can send you back as soon as possible..."
"it's useless."
The old man interrupted Cui Yueqing's words directly and smiled coldly: "Do you know why the fare of my pumpkin cart is so expensive? Because there is a special medicinal material on my pumpkin cart that can completely cure her injuries. Otherwise, even if she
Even if I am sent home safely by you, I will be arrested by those crazy humans and given the most severe punishment."
That is to say,
If they want Fat Aunt to survive, they must hand over the ghost hat on their heads. If they don't, Fat Aunt will definitely die.
But if they hand over the ghost hat, it will be difficult for them to return to the villa safely.
The rules of the town are that being injured is disrespectful to the gods. If they lose arms and legs, they will die without a burial place.
It’s a complete dilemma…
Cui Yueqing and Tao Yang looked at the fat aunt who was weeping secretly and full of despair, and then at the old man riding a pumpkin cart. In an instant, the same thought flashed through their minds.
After a while, Tao Yang took the lead in attacking the old man, but as soon as he launched the attack, he was kicked by the old man.
Tao Yang was kicked away directly.
Falling heavily on the ground, grinning in pain, Cui Yueqing exclaimed, but before she could speak, the old man sneered again: "Although I am old, I am not someone to be bullied."
"You can't have your cake and eat it too, it depends on whether you choose the ghost hat or your aunt's life."
The old man raised his chin slightly with a mocking look on his face.
