The basement corridor was longer than I expected, and I walked for a long time without reaching the corner.
"I clearly feel that the corner is right in front of me, so why haven't I arrived after walking for so long?" Looking at the corner just one step away, I felt like I could touch it as soon as I raised my hand, but I just couldn't get there.
"Have I entered a fantasy world?" I couldn't help but think of many movie plots, in which the protagonists often find themselves in this situation. The reason is that they have entered a fantasy world, and no matter how hard they try, they cannot reach their immediate destination.
.
"Rural Zhiyi said that this is called a ghost covering one's eyes, and it can be overcome by just peeing. Do you want me to try?" Looking at Li Yingyang next to me, I thought for a while and finally chose to give up: "There are children here.
, and she’s still a girl, so it’s inconvenient after all, so let’s forget it.”
"It's also possible that this is not a fantasy, but just my misunderstanding." Faced with this situation, I had no choice but to continue talking to Li Yingyang, intending to get more information about her sister, because I always felt that her sister was not
Simple.
"Xiao Yingyang, what's your sister's name?" I smiled softly, as if I was asking a very common question.
"My sister's name is Li Yingyang."
In fact, what Li Yingyang really said was "scourge", not "秧", but the two words have the same pronunciation, so I didn't react for a while: "Your sister is also called Li Yingyang? Is she the same name as you?"
Li Yingyang immediately explained with a sweet smile: "Uncle, you read it wrong. My sister's name is Li Yingshang, not Li Yingyang. She is the disaster of the disaster, and I am the Yangmiao of the Yangmiao, not the same name."
"Oh, I didn't expect that Xiao Yingyang is a young talented girl, and she actually knows the word disaster." I praised her, but I was filled with doubts: "Li Yingshang? Who kind of parents would give their children such a name? After all, disaster.
The word represents disaster and misfortune. Are they not afraid that their children will be exposed to bad luck?"
Although I don't believe that a name can determine a person's good or bad luck, many parents in Xicheng believe that a sunny and beautiful name can bring good luck to their children. Many parents no longer believe in the old tricks of fame, debasement and destiny.
Even though I was a little confused, I continued to ask other questions: "How old is your sister this year?"
"My sister? She was born in the same year as me, the same age as me, just a few minutes earlier than me." At this point, Li Yingyang seemed a little angry.
: "Why do I have to call her sister when she was born only a few minutes before me? Uncle, do you think this is fair?"
"It's not fair, but Mr. Yingyang has a lot of people. Don't get angry over these trivial things. By the way, according to you, you and your sister are twins?" I persuaded while continuing to ask questions.
"Yes." Li Yingyang gave me an affirmative answer.
Seeing that the conversation was back on track, I asked naturally: "How old are you this year?"
"About a hundred years old, I don't remember clearly." Li Yingyang said innocently.
"A hundred years old? Xiao Yingyang, you won't lie to your uncle, right? In other words, you and your sister are both about a hundred years old monsters?" When I got this unexpected answer, I laughed it off and didn't think about it at all.
In my heart, I just thought Li Yingyang was telling a joke.
At this moment, Li Yingyang grimaced and muttered in a low voice: "I didn't lie to uncle. I'm really over a hundred years old. Why doesn't he believe it? Forget it, it's okay if uncle doesn't believe it. Anyway, I didn't lie to uncle."
Li Yingyang said these words very quietly, and there were a group of snakes neighing around him, so I didn't hear these words, which caused me to ignore the most important news.
After the conversation ended, silence returned to the corridor. As we went deeper into the corridor, there were more and more snake scales on the ground. Some of the snake scales were even stained with blood, showing that they had just fallen off.
"There are signs of struggle on the ground. It seems that I am getting closer and closer to the tenants." I tightened my grip on the kitchen knife and stared ahead with increasing vigilance.
The ground became more and more bumpy. In order to prevent Li Yingyang from falling, I had to pick her up with one hand and hold the kitchen knife with the other.
Just then, I heard a faint sound coming from around the corner.
"Although the sound was subtle, it was not the sound of conversation, but more like the sound of fighting. It seemed that someone was fighting around the corner." After listening to the sound carefully, I made an immediate judgment.
The bloody rain became heavier and heavier, and it turned into a downpour. My head and body were covered with bloody rain. Looking from a distance, I looked like a blood demon in the darkness.
The sound of fighting in my ears became louder and louder. It was obvious that the fighting had reached its most intense stage, but no matter how hard I stepped, I could never reach the corner.
"Is it really true? I can't go on like this.
." Holding Li Yingyang in one hand, I quickened my pace and ran around the corner.
Fight!
Just when I was about to hit the wall at the corner, there was a crash. There was no wall in front of me, and I didn't get any bloodshed.
At this time, I stood at the corner.
There was a wall on the left side of the corner, and there was no way out. I looked to the right.
A large room appeared in front of me. I have to say that this large room was covered with countless bloody vines. These bloody vines were layered together, just like a sea of blood.
In the sea of blood, there is a vague figure, which is fighting with countless blood vines.
Although the figure was holding a machete, the blood vines were numerous and difficult to deal with, and he was still unable to break through the siege of the blood vines.
I put down Li Yingyang and took a few steps closer to see that the figure was actually a man.
This man was wearing a suit and was quite tall. I recognized him. He was clearly the Brother Zhou who was talking to Zhang Tao!
"So he is here. He wanted to get rid of me directly. He is not a good person." I secretly reminded myself to be careful of this person.
When I saw him, he also noticed me standing at the entrance.
There was some surprise on his face at first, maybe he didn't expect me to appear here, and then his face darkened, and he didn't know what bad idea he was thinking.
But when he saw the kitchen knife in my hand, he finally smiled softly: "So you are here. It's a good thing that I sent someone to look for you in the first place. I feel relieved when I see that you are okay."
I cursed in my heart that this man was really an old fox. He clearly sent Zhang Tao to kill me, but he said it was to protect me.
However, in order to complete the task, I did not choose to expose him immediately and pretended to be confused: "Who are you? I don't seem to know you, right?"
The man in the suit saw my confusion and explained calmly: "It's normal that you don't know me, but I know you. You are a tenant of 504. Let's call you Liang Fan. I often see you climbing the stairs on the second floor. Let me introduce myself.
I am the tenant in room 201 on the second floor, Zhou Qitian."
The expression on my face remained unchanged, but my heart was already turbulent: "Since Zhou Qitian is only a tenant of 201, then why does Zhang Tao, as the landlord, grovel to a tenant?"
