Xu Guodong still walked out of the house. He closed the door tightly and walked into the heavy rain. He could not forget the tearful look in Lin Juan's eyes when she looked at him. It was a sign of reluctance and worry.
It's affection.
But he knew that he had to go. Perhaps in this situation, an ordinary person should retreat, and he can retreat. No one will blame you in any way.
After all, it has become a fact that ordinary people cannot deal with ghosts, a fact that everyone acquiesces to.
It is said that the great the ability, the great the responsibility. If you have the corresponding ability, you must bear the corresponding responsibility.
This is not wrong, but it is not an excuse to avoid danger.
Lin Laosan is capable, and Lin Laosan is an unusual person. Lin Laosan may be the person who protects Linjia Village in this generation of the Lin family, but this is not the reason why Xu Guodong is not brave.
No one should face danger as a matter of course, and no one can ask others to be brave.
How can there be any eggs under the overturned nest?
In that war of aggression, too much suffering, too many human tragedies, and too many unimaginable things appeared in front of people.
They would be scared, frightened, panicked, and at a loss. They once curled up their wings like ostriches, stuck their heads into the ground, closed their eyes tightly, pretended not to see, and tried to use this
ways to escape disaster.
Yes, they tremble, they are afraid, they fear death.
However, being weak does not necessarily lead to mercy, and being submissive can never be the reason for you to escape disaster when disaster strikes. Reality is cruel, and indifference and cruelty are synonymous with it.
Countless bloody lessons have made too many people understand that one person's obedience, another person's fear, and another person's escape only results in more brutal and inhumane killings. Meat-eaters are despicable, but there are still people who envy the meat-eaters.
There are still people who abandon their dignity and become obedient dogs at the feet of carnivores.
This is the way the world is, no matter what time it is.
But when the red flag was flying everywhere, someone used real examples to tell everyone who was bullied that there was another way to live life.
Use struggle, unity, and fearlessness to fight and strive for hope that may exist or disappear.
Maybe there was a time when you abandoned your dignity and wanted to exchange it for a humble existence. But have you ever thought about what ability and value you have in exchange for the things you have abandoned?
What do you want?
The things you cherish and value are your most valuable assets. They may be taken away by others one day, but when you can take them back, that is the moment when the value of the things you care about is truly reflected.
Of course, here
It's just about dignity and integrity.
A bent spine can only be straightened out by hatred and anger. If you want to avoid those painful experiences, you have to never compromise from the beginning.
Some things can be escaped for a while, but it does not mean that they can be escaped forever. Hiding at home seems very safe, but if in the end, the entire village is invaded by those ghosts, just a small house, how can it persist?
when?
Xu Guodong understood this, and Lin Juan also understood this, so they were very scared in time. Even though they were very worried, they still made a choice.
The arrival of the Li family's daughter-in-law opened a door of hope for them. Although this hope may be very slim, or it may be just their wishful thinking. Maybe what the Li family boy wants to explain to Xu Guodong is not related to what happened in the village.
It doesn't matter at all.
But it was this opportunity that made them understand that Lin Laosan alone, or the Lin family alone, could not completely save Linjia Village.
There are countless enemies hiding in the dark, and there are even more ghosts hiding in the shadows. They know nothing about Lin Laosan’s plan, and they cannot participate in it. So they want to contribute to this village.
You can only rely on yourself.
Use another way, take another road, even if this road is dangerous, even if this road is full of thorns and twists and turns, there is still hope.
A hope that keeps them from waiting to die silently at home.
You may encounter many unexpected situations in life, and many dangers that you have never imagined before, but as long as there is hope in life, that person will not completely despair.
Even if it's dangerous, I'll enjoy it.
Opening the door to the yard, Xu Guodong saw the Li family's daughter-in-law kneeling outside the door. It rained so hard that the Li family's daughter-in-law's clothes had been soaked and her whole body had turned into a drowned rat. She lowered her head and shed tears.
Mixed with the rain, it was quite embarrassing.
"Brothers and sisters, let's go."
Xu Guodong sighed and reached out to help Li's wife up, but when he reached halfway, he still didn't touch her.
He knew the principle of not being intimate between men and women. Although the Li family's wife was very pitiful in the current situation, since there was no close relationship between the two, this kind of behavior was still a bit awkward when the other party's clothes were wet.
Impolite.
Even though both of them knew what was going on, if others saw it, it would inevitably cause some gossip to the Li family's wife.
"Mr. Xiao Xu!"
When she saw Xu Guodong, the Li family's daughter-in-law was very excited. Her vision was blurred in the heavy rain, but she could also see that Xu Guodong's face was a little pale at this time, and she was worried about Lin Juan's words about Xu Guodong's illness.
Love is also certain.
"Let's go~"
Xu Guodong said lightly and closed the door of the yard. The Li family's wife hurriedly got up from the ground and grabbed Xu Guodong's arm. She was actually a little afraid that Xu Guodong would run away.
The matter was urgent, and she didn't care much. She just wanted to take Xu Guodong home as soon as possible.
After a day of rain, the roads in the village were already muddy. The two of them walked in the direction of Li's house, but there were slippery and muddy roads everywhere. Xu Guodong was cautious, but he inevitably splashed a lot of muddy water on his body.
, and the appearance of the Li family's wife was even more miserable.
I fell down on the road and was covered in mud and water. If I hadn't been more careful later, I might have had many more falls along the way.
After finally taking Xu Guodong to Li's house, when he opened the door, Xu Guodong felt that the Li's house was very strange.
At that time, most houses in rural areas were similar. They were small yards surrounded by fences. There was a house in the middle of the yard, and there might be a vegetable garden behind the house. This was actually the case in every household.
But when he walked into the Li family yard, Xu Guodong felt a very uncomfortable feeling. This feeling had no beginning and no end, but it was so real.
During the heavy rain, ravines were washed out of the Li family's small yard. The water in the yard had gathered into a small puddle. When the Li family's wife walked into the yard, in addition to the inexplicable discomfort, she finally felt...
What makes Xu Guodong strange is that the temperature inside the Li family's yard seems to be a few points lower than outside.
Xu Guodong subconsciously touched the oil paper bag with the peace talisman in his arms to confirm that it was not wet. He breathed a sigh of relief. Even the Li family has ghosts hiding. As long as the peace talisman is there, those things will disappear for a while.
The ghost shouldn't be able to do anything to him.
Without staying in the yard for a long time, Xu Guodong followed Li's wife into the house and put the raincoat aside. When he walked into the house, a pungent smell hit his face.
When he smelled this smell, Xu Guodong subconsciously took a step back and raised his hand to cover his nose.
This smell is very strange, it seems to be a mixture of many flavors, including Chinese medicine, rancid smell, incense smell, and an indescribable smell.
The smell permeated every corner of the house. Even the door was shrouded in this smell. Xu Guodong really couldn't understand what happened to the Li family. These people seemed to smell such a strong smell in the house.
Less than average, very indifferent.
Just like the Li family's wife who led him into the house, she turned a blind eye to the smell and showed no discomfort at all. This seemed even more weird in Xu Guodong's eyes.
