After Old Man Bai finished speaking intermittently, his eyes gradually dimmed, and the cigarette butt fell from his fingertips to the ground.
Looking at the half cigarette butt on the ground, Chen Zhi knew that the old man was dead...
They sent Old Man Bai's body to the mountain that night. They found a random place on the mountain and dug a pit less than one meter deep. They didn't hold any ceremony. There was no coffin or even a mat to wrap the body.
None, they were buried directly.
In Fat Wei’s words: “If this kind of person can give him a place to live, it will be an advantage to him. Even if one day the wild beasts in the mountains dig out his corpse and gnaw away all the bones, he still deserves it.”
!”
But what they didn't expect was that when Chen Zhi and Pang Wei went down the mountain, they found Baike standing at the foot of the mountain waiting for them. At this time, Baike's face showed a seriousness that had never been seen before. His face was still
He is very immature and has a drunken blush, but his eyes are serious.
"Where have you been?",
Bai Ke had a cold face when he asked questions, and the sharp edges on his face made people a little intimidated.
"It's nothing, we drank too much and went for a walk in the mountains...",
Chen Zhi tried his best to answer in the calmest tone possible so as not to make Bai Ke suspicious.
"Where is the old man who came with you?",
Baike's face was still tense. He looked at Chen Zhi and then at Fat Wei next to him.
"I have noticed him for a long time, but I have never spoken to him.
He usually smokes in Gaojiaolou. I know where he is, but I have never looked for him. Who is he? What is his name? Where is he now? "
"this……"
When Fat Wei faced this series of questions from Bai Ke, he actually felt a little guilty. It was true. He had just buried his biological father. It would be a lie to say that he was not worried now.
"Um..., Hi~~~",
Fat Wei pretended to be calm and said, his eyes avoiding Bai Ke's serious look,
"The old man is always feeling uncomfortable. He has been complaining here for many days. He also said that he couldn't bear to leave his grandson at home, so I sent him away at night just now!
If you leave, just leave. Since he wants to leave, why force him to stay? He is over 70 years old, and it is inconvenient to do anything. Taking him with him is also a drag..."
"wrong!",
Bai Ke said with a serious face, and for a moment, the surrounding air froze.
"My ears are very good. There are small bells with thin strings at the entrance of the village. I know immediately whoever leaves the village. He has never left the village at all. And it is so late, there is a barrier outside, and we have never gone out. How could he
Can you get out?
Where did that old grandfather go? I want to see him! He..., who is he?",
I don't know when Bai Ke's eyes started to turn blood red. Under the illumination of the moonlight, they emitted a burst of dark red light. Combined with the surrounding darkness, they looked a little scary, as if he would turn into a man at any time.
The grinning monster pounced on Chen Zhi and the others.
"Baike..."
At this moment, a soft female voice came from the side.
The voice was very gentle, and the tone was full of calmness and gentleness.
After hearing this call, the red color in Bai Ke's eyes immediately receded. He then turned his head and looked into the darkness beside him, and saw Ji Ying standing there, holding a torch in her hand, looking at him lightly.
smiling.
Ji Ying looked very beautiful at the moment. She seemed to have just washed her hair in the morning. Her long hair was soft and elegant under the moonlight, slightly covering half of her cheeks, making her face more feminine.
Her eyes have their own luster, like two black gems in the moonlight, flowing with emotion and looking forward to the divine flight.
"Baike, come here! I have something to tell you...",
Ji Ying gently waved to the guest, with such a gentle look that she had never seen before. At this time, even birds flying by would fall because of it. The beauty was simply irresistible.
Baike was dumbfounded on the spot, and then he walked over there dully, as if his soul had been seduced.
Ji Ying pulled his shoulder, called him to sit under a tree stump in front of him, and sat down.
For a while, Ji Ying kept whispering to Baike. Her voice was so soft that even Chen Zhi couldn't hear clearly.
But during their conversation, neither Chen Zhi nor Pang Wei went over. They knew that Baike's inexplicable anger just now had completely dissipated.
Chen Zhi once heard of a theory called "parent-child self-recognition"
That is to say, a father and son or a mother and son who have been separated for a long time and have never even met each other will have a feeling that the other party has some kind of relationship with them from the moment they meet, and they will have an unconscious concern for them.
If the other party dies, there will be conscious pain and anger. This should be the reason why Baike was angry just now.
Ji Ying sat there chatting with Baike for a long time. Later, Chen Zhi and Pang Wei also left...
But for some reason, Chen Zhi could still feel what Ji Ying was saying to Baike, as if she was telling them to run away...
The next morning, when the first ray of sunlight shined through the clouds and fog into Wuhou Valley, Chen Zhi and the others were already ready to set off.
Several diligent teenagers have woken up. They were completely unaware of everything last night. They were still busy as usual, cooking porridge and making bread at the entrance of the village, jokingly pushing each other and talking about simple topics~~~
However, Chen Zhi and Pang Wei had already left through the back road...
This time they did not say goodbye to the Bai family. Instead, they directly put on their backpacks and went straight up the mountain from the path behind the village. However, within a few steps, Ji Ying followed from behind.
When he saw Ji Ying, Chen Zhi couldn't help but trembled in his heart and said,
"You didn't let them escape, did you?
You know, if you do this, it’s a capital crime for you!!”
After hearing Chen Zhi's question, Ji Ying raised her head and glanced at Chen Zhi, then pursed her lips lightly without making any answer.
After that, the three of them stopped talking. They went all the way up the mountain from the small intersection behind the village, climbed the rock wall, and reached the top of the cliff as quickly as possible.
It was still early in the morning. Looking around, the mountains were filled with smoke and dew. The scenery was picturesque. Chen Zhi and the others quickly climbed over the cliff and jumped to the open space. The iron cable bridge swayed in front of them.
In the field of vision,
"Get ready!",
After Chen Zhi said something, he walked to the middle of the open space and threw his package on the ground.
Begin to prepare for the use of advanced spells - earth-changing!
