Peek into the Heart [Unlimited]

As soon as the four of them walked out of the courtyard, they felt a gust of wind blowing around them. Accompanied by the sound of quick and light footsteps, a few small footprints were left on the dusty ground.

"Follow up!" Yu Yan was the first to react, waving to them.

The young Chen Xinhui ran fast on the country road, and the winding dirt land seemed endless, carrying her forward and forward.They could even hear slight panting/breathing faintly in the air, accompanied by some crying voices that were desperately hidden.

"Xiaohui, grandma kicked her out again, did you make mom run away in anger?" the woman washing clothes on the side of the road raised her head and teased casually when she heard the footsteps.

The footprints obviously paused for a moment, and then began to move forward more quickly, causing the four tall and long-legged adults to trot to keep up.

It’s noon now, every household smokes from the kitchen, and there are more and more people on the long road. Some are leisurely and some are busy, but they all have sallow and rough skin on their faces. gift".

A pregnant woman staggered out of the house with a urinal in her hand. Before taking two steps, she was dragged home by her husband: "I told you not to run around, why didn't you listen! Didn't you see that broom star was blind outside again?" Have you been shopping? Go home and take a good bath with grapefruit leaves, if your baby son gets dirty with something dirty, don’t worry about it!"

The urinal fell out of his hand for a moment and fell to the ground with a smell of fishy smell.After half a minute, the man poked his head out from the door alone, picked up the urinal, and closed the door firmly.

Chen Xinhui just ran, stepping on the dirt on the ground without stopping for a moment, as if he only had eyes on the infinitely extending road ahead.

"Why is the little granddaughter of the old Chen family running out again? Pay attention to Juanzi, and don't let her play with that little calamity."

"Her mother also left this morning. Have you heard? Aunt Wu is the only one left in her family. What a crime."

"Haha, if Mrs. Wu is gone one day, will she be able to overwhelm the people in the village? I'm so scared."

The eyes of the villagers were full of endless gleam, and they communicated in a high voice with full enthusiasm, each exaggerating their reactions one by one, like a poorly-acted drama actor.

Chen Xinhui was still running, but before he took a few steps, the sound of footsteps stopped abruptly, and a middle-aged woman's voice came from the air: "You are here to chew maggots all day long, I think you are really free! I don't look back at my mess, I just leave it here to worry about others."

Like Chen Xinhui, this woman couldn't see her appearance, but could only hear her voice.Everyone glanced at each other, and Song Tayun said, "This should be the so-called task person."

"That's right." Yu Yan nodded, "However, we still have to find her real body, and we can't ask anything from the illusory air."

"Hey, the crazy woman is going crazy again, so I'm not afraid that Xinhui will kill you too." A half-bald old man took a long drag on his cigarette and cursed comfortably while exhaling smoke rings.

"You smoke so much every day, you will die sooner than me when you turn around!" The woman's unwilling counterattack floated in the air.

Hearing that his wife was being cursed, another mother-in-law in an apron ran out of the door, with the spatula still in her hand, pointing to the air and saying, "I think they are a big lunatic and a little lunatic. Yes! Old man, let's go home and eat, don't get in trouble."

"I think you two are also one foolish and the other blind. You are a natural pair!" The woman's mouth was fierce, and she scolded the neighbors back to the house in a short while. After a while, her voice became very gentle. , "Xinhui, come and sit in the store."

It was only then that everyone realized that there was a simple canteen next to it. The glass counter was covered with a layer of dirt, and there were a few sticks of unopened cigarettes inside.With the sound of footsteps walking into the store, there are some groceries scattered on the two rows of dilapidated shelves, which have become the bases for spiders to make their webs carefully, and it seems that few people patronize.

Doing business pays attention to making money with harmony, and women are obviously far behind.

The dishes floated from the inside to the foldable dining table at the entrance, still steaming, the woman asked, "Xiao Hui, have you had lunch, do you want to have some with Auntie?"

Although Chen Xinhui couldn't hear the answer, both rice bowls were filled with rice.

"...I'm hungry." There were only some ordinary home-cooked dishes in front of me, but after eating tasteless fruits for two days, looking at these again was like seeing delicacies from mountains and seas, which made Fang Xuhai sigh with emotion from the bottom of his heart.

"So... can these be eaten?" Song Tayun asked sincerely, food is the most important thing for the people.

Yu Yan was silent for a few seconds, as if looking for words to complain about them, but after searching to no avail, she raised her chin at the food: "Then you try."

"It's not good to grab food with a little girl, right?"

Song Tayun said so, but still out of curiosity and instinctive desire, he stretched out his hand towards the plate of spring rolls——

Can't hold it.

The spring rolls were fried until crispy and crispy, and they were stacked neatly on the plate, but no matter how hard Song Tayun tried, they seemed to be stuck in the plate, and they couldn't be picked up.In the end, Song Tayun seemed to be serious and tried to lift the whole plate, but he didn't let it move a bit.

"Save your efforts." Yu Yan pulled him back with a smile, "The scene in memory will not be changed by the intrusion of outsiders, so you better not think about it."

"I have a few fruits left here, do you?" Lin Wanyin waved at him as he took out the bright red fruits from his pocket.

Song Tayun was stunned for a moment, and smiled embarrassedly: "Forget it, I'll eat in reality." The hospital food that he secretly despises is extremely delicious when he thinks about it now.

After a meal, the desktop was cleaned up by invisible hands, and a box of paint brushes floated over from the shelf. The woman said: "This is a new one that Auntie bought a few days ago. It has six more colors than the last one. You Try it, does it work?"

The paintbrush waved freely on the white paper, the orderly and dense forest, and the little girl carrying a basket on her back seemed to be the scene they saw when they first entered the inner world.

"The little girl is carrying a pannier, what are you doing?" the woman asked.

"...picking mushrooms." Everyone finally heard Chen Xinhui's voice, which was immature and slender, with a vague accent.

The woman laughed heartily, and said after a while, "Then, where are the mushrooms?"

The paintbrush moved belatedly, drawing rows of mushrooms.

"It's so beautiful." The drawing paper was hanging in the air, as if a woman was watching it carefully, "I also added a few picture frames, which are very beautiful. Auntie will help you frame them, okay?"

After a brief silence, a colorful frame of a children's toy was taken apart, and the stick figure was carefully wrapped.

"Here, I'll give it to you." The framed painting was handed out.

"I can't, my grandma will be angry..." Chen Xinhui replied timidly.

"The auntie kept it, and the auntie hung it up."

The yellowed wall surface became lively because of the participation of this painting.

Everyone waited for a long time, but there was no sound or movement. The memory seemed to end here, but the real body of the tasker was still missing.

"I wonder if the person in charge is in this store, after all, this is her home." Lin Wanyin looked around the store and pointed to the door behind the shelves, "Go and see?"

A group of people passed through the middle of the shelves. In the stale air, there was so much dust that it was almost visible to the naked eye.At the end is a wooden sliding door, Song Tayun tried to push it, and the door opened.

The woman appeared to be in her 40s, wearing a black long dress, with scattered black straight hair mixed with a few silver hairs.Holding a brush, she patiently depicted on the rice paper, the mountains and mountains, the clear water and the clear waves slowly spread out under her pen.

"Are you here?" Hearing the sound, the woman put the brush on the inkstone, looked up at them with a smile, her voice sounded a little older than before, "I have been waiting for you in Xiaohui's heart for a long time, and you are finally here. "

"Can you tell us, where is Chen Xinhui now? We will bring her back to the real world." Yu Yan asked.

The woman lowered her eyes as if she was thinking, with a troubled look on her face: "Xiaohui doesn't seem to want to go back."

"Auntie." Lin Wanyin took a step forward, "Xinhui's situation is different from the past, she has grown up, she can choose to bid farewell to the past and start a new life of her own. Maybe it's a bit late, but it's better than being stuck forever Which is better, isn't it?"

"You people are just good at speaking."

After speaking, the woman stopped talking, lowered her head and picked up the brush to continue drawing.

Fang Xuhai was a little anxious, and took a step forward to ask more questions, but was stopped by Yu Yan.The four gathered around the table, watching the woman perfect her drawing.

Different from Chen Xinhui's painting style, women seem to be very good at ink painting. With just a few strokes, thousands of worlds come alive on paper.Rows of low and complicated hills are connected one after another, with streams passing through them, intermittent roads are almost not in a line, and a few houses can be seen occasionally.

After finishing the painting, the woman turned and left.Everyone hurriedly followed, asking for more information about Chen Xinhui, but got no response at all.

The woman's footsteps became faster and faster, and her figure became shallower and shallower.Finally, under the eyes of the four of them, she quietly escaped into the air, invisible and intangible.

"She hasn't told us anything yet." Fang Xuhai was very upset about the sudden disappearance of the tasker.

It is true that there are no women around anymore, including those who just sat drinking tea and chatting at the door of the house, they also disappeared without knowing it, and the village once again returned to its original silence.

Song Tayun stared down at one place, trying to recall what the woman said just now, trying to find clues, but he couldn't find any clues.

As far as the eye can see is a pool of water, reflecting the scorching sun that has risen overhead.Song Tayun just wanted to look elsewhere, but found that the water in the pond seemed to be a little less.

Even if it is noon in hot summer, the water will not evaporate so quickly.I thought this village was still logical at least in terms of natural science, but I didn't expect such an obvious error to appear.

But in the next second, Song Tayun suddenly realized that it wasn't the water that disappeared, but the color of the pond, and even the entire ground, was gradually getting lighter.

His heart sank, and he raised his head suddenly.The village seems to be covered with foggy filters layer by layer, gradually becoming unreal and unpredictable.
