Hush!secret

Chapter 8 The Lonely Traveler

"Help, help."

"Grab her, don't let her get away!"

what sound?Who is speaking?

Chu Rui groped aimlessly in the mist, until the mist dispersed, and the covered scene was slowly revealed.

A ragged woman was running barefoot on the way down the mountain. Her body was very thin. Long-term malnutrition made her pale and emaciated, but she was still a beauty.

"Help, help." The voice was crying, with faint sobs, and the woman ran past Chu Rui.

In the end she was caught anyway.

"Run! I let you run!"

The woman was caught back, with two big mouths on her face, which made her eyes stare, and she fell to the ground unable to move. The dwarf-like man was still punching and kicking: "Laozi spent a lot of money to buy you, and I didn't have enough for you!" Dare to run!"

Chu Rui tried to look around the room, she was sure that she was dreaming.

The woman should have just given birth, her clothes were loose, and the man jumped on him with a slap in the face. The woman's mournful wailing made Chu Rui's heart skip a beat.

When he walked out of the house, there was a lot of crying in the house, but the villagers outside were all the same height and shape as ordinary people. They were all busy with their own affairs. Turn your head, everyone is so indifferent that it is frightening.

Chu Rui felt chills all over his body. He looked back and felt that the surrounding area was very familiar. It seemed that he had reached the entrance of the village after walking for a while. There was a clear sky in the distance, and the village here was not yet covered by fog.

He walked to the entrance of the village, where there was a boundary marker with the words "Xiahe Village" written on it.

Suddenly, the sky changed and turned into night.

Chu Rui saw a dwarf man and a woman coming out with a dead baby in their arms, and buried the dead baby under a tree. The densely branched phoenix trees shook into a sieve with the evening wind, and the leaves withered.

"Why is she a girl again? Could it be that she can't give birth to a boy?" The woman cursed, "Our Zhao family pointed at her to spread the branches and give birth to a healthy child, but why did she give birth to five girls in a row? What a useless piece of trash!"

"Mom, I spent money, and it's not that I didn't spend money!" The dwarf man limped back, "I can't buy another one."

Chu Rui understood, that woman seemed to have been abducted by traffickers and sold to people in this village, no wonder she wanted to run away.

The villagers in this village are indifferent, and they are used to it, so they don't find it strange. In their eyes, the reproductive machines they bought don't need sympathy and pity.

Chu Rui felt a sense of sadness.

Then he was slapped awake.

"Wake up! This trick still works!"

Chu Rui covered her face with a dull expression, Hua Leshen shrugged helplessly, and raised her hands to show that it had nothing to do with her.

"I did." Not only did Shang Zhongli not feel sorry at all, he was even complacent, "Don't thank me!"

"Thank you?" Chu Rui was speechless, cooperating with him being slapped and still wanting to be grateful to the person who beat him?

Hua Le saw that Chu Rui's face was pale, and his emotions were not right, so he quickly smoothed things over, "Oh, sister Chu, it's good if you wake up, I saw you fainted again, I was almost scared to death by you!"

Chu Rui turned her head away and didn't want to see Shang Zhongli, so Shang Zhongli could naturally feel Chu Rui's dislike for him, so he curled his lips and sat aside.

"Sister Chu, Shang Zhongli, are you hungry? I have something to eat," Hua Leshen poured out a lot of food from his bag in order to ease the atmosphere, and scattered tissues, sunglasses, etc. on the bed .

Shang Zhongli took a piece of chocolate casually and signaled: "Replenish your energy."

Chu Rui silently rolled her eyes.

"Chumei, I'm sorry!" Hua Leshen said to him quietly, "."

"Shut up, how many times do you want to say sorry to me? Do we need to talk about our relationship?" Chu Rui's mouth is very hard, and he never speaks nice words.

Hua Le nodded deeply: "Are we going out?"

Chu Rui looked at him: "What was the copy you entered for the first time?"

Hua Le thought for a while: "Is it "The Lonely Traveler"?" After getting Chu Rui's affirmation, he talked eloquently, "After I woke up, I was in the fog. After that voice appeared, I was alone in the fog Walking inside, walking and walking, the surroundings become a desert.”

Seven players gather in the desert, and the seven of them walk aimlessly in the desert together.

Chu Rui met an uncle with a beard. The uncle knew a lot about the game, and he told Chu Rui a lot of rules of the game that he learned from secret channels.

"Since I'm here, I'm heading for the most difficult dungeon of hell. That's [-] million!" When the bearded uncle said this, his eyes were shining.

Who doesn't crave money?

The world of the game overlapped day and night for only a few hours, and time passed quickly. In just three days, some people began to get impatient. Those who left the team, two days later, they saw the body of that person, like a shriveled corpse. The balloon fell silently into the desert.

His bag was still by his side, and it still contained the abundant water source they kept getting in the oasis.

They are puzzled, but they will not stop because of this, and continue to walk aimlessly in a daze.

Strange giant scorpions began to appear in the desert. They swung their long tails and would kill people at any time, but they would not actively attack the player. Chu Rui's arm was scratched by the giant scorpion that disturbed the homeland.

No. 11 days, still can not see the end of the game, fear enveloped everyone.

When he sat down to rest, Chu Rui had already broken the jar, so he found his usual optimist self, and the heat couldn't stop his mood from gradually becoming peaceful.

A shadowless player caught his attention.

"Where's your shadow?"

Hua Le asked deeply, and the bearded uncle suddenly realized.

"I see! I finally know what it means to be a lonely traveler! You are not like us, you are walking alone, so you are alone, right?"

The shadowless player stood blankly under the sun. Only then did the players remember that he always kept quiet and followed behind alone. No one cared whether he needed water or food. Seeing the desert He didn't panic when he saw the dead body inside.

He was so out of place, but because everyone just entered the game, because of the heat of the desert and the anxiety in their hearts, they didn't find a person who was out of place in the team.

After being exposed, a black shadow appeared behind him, and he himself gradually shriveled, and finally he also turned into a piece of skin that lost moisture, but the shadow continued to walk with a heavy load on its back, and went all the way to the depths of the desert , never stops.

We found a diary in his backpack.

In August 1999, he had no food and water, and it seemed that he was going to stay in this desert forever, but he hadn't seen his daughter yet, and he hadn't had time to tell her that his father loved her.

He can't die yet!He has to get out of this desert, he wants to return to his wife and daughter, he no longer yearns for freedom, he wants his home, he wants to find his way home, until the moment when his life ends.

"Then we went back to the mist after walking for a while. I walked two more steps and the voice of my companion disappeared, and I returned to the real world." Hua Leshen said.

"So you saved them." Shang Zhongli did not hide his expression of praise, "You are amazing!"

Hua Le scratched his head deeply, and said modestly: "It's just a coincidence, others will find out sooner or later, it can't be regarded as my credit!"

The lonely traveler finds the traveler, what about "Gnome Village"?

Chu Rui fell into deep thought.

"We have to go find Zhao Xiaoliu again." Chu Rui said.

Hua Le showed embarrassment: "We can't get out now!"

"What are you looking for with Zhao Xiaoliu?" Shang Zhongli sneered and frowned, as if Chu Rui was deliberately looking for trouble.

Hua Le pulled his sleeve deeply: "I advise you to trust him and find a way to find Zhao Xiaoliu!" Hua Le deeply believed that Chu Rui must have discovered something.

Hua Le opened his mouth deeply, Shang Zhongli naturally didn't say anything more, he just asked in a questioning way: "Do you also think there is something wrong with Zhao Xiaoliu?"

Hua Le nodded deeply.

"Well, what you say is more reliable!"

Chu Rui rolled her eyes, this man is too annoying!

Chu Rui called the two girls next door, Gan Xiaoxiao huddled into a ball, refusing to move at all, the same was true for Chu Rui, Chu Rui had a big heart, thinking that now she should break through the siege and rush out of Zhao Xiaoliu's house, But the monster he saw when he raised his eyes made his legs weak instantly.

"Why did we go to Zhao Xiaoliu? If we hadn't already found the secret, is it necessary to risk our lives?" Zhao Zi's calm tone also brought a questioning tone.

"Sitting here and waiting to die of starvation or looking for Zhao Xiaoliu to be killed by monsters, which would you choose?" Shang Zhongli was too lazy to talk nonsense.

"I'm not going! I'm not going, I'm afraid!" Gan Xiaoxiao cried, "Coward, you're not going either, right?"

"I.I.I..." In the dimly lit room, the monster's stare was so terrifying that Chu Rui felt that it was right beside her.

Gan Xiaoxiao stopped sobbing, her red eyes looked like a frightened rabbit: "Coward, why are you stuttering again?"

Everyone looked at Chu Rui. Chu Rui grabbed Hua Leshen's arm and was speechless, but couldn't say a word. Hua Leshen immediately smoothed things over and stood in front of Chu Rui, his eyes were full of worry and panic, "When he gets nervous, he can't say a word." He will stutter, so stop looking at him!"

"I'll go!" Chu Rui said it with all her strength, Gan Xiaoxiao stared at him blankly, and after a while, she pursed her mouth.

"You've made me even more timid than you." Gan Xiaoxiao picked up Xu Yuan's cloth bag and tied it around her waist. "You guys have made up your mind. I'll go if you say so, but...you have to think clearly. There is no need to go."

"Yes!" Chu Rui's voice suddenly amplified, startling Shang Zhongli who had always despised him, "Zhao Xiaoliu. Yes. It's Xiahe Village. The first dwarf. Dwarf!"

"what?"

Zhao Zi asked him, "How do you know?"

Chu Rui was asked this question, how should he tell them that he had a dream?All the villagers in the dream are normal, only Zhao Xiaoliu is a dwarf, I am afraid no one will believe it!

Suddenly, Chu Rui thought of another point: "We are starting here. There are many, many babies' bones under the tree at the door."

Hua Leshen thought that he got what Chu Rui meant in seconds: "There are also babies' bones under the tree outside Zhao Xiaoliu's house. When we came in on the first day, we saw Zhao Xiaoliu's on the small advertisement on the side of the road. The name must be a hint given to us by the game?"

This logic is problematic when you think about it carefully. Judging from the fierce reactions of the villagers, there is a withered tree at the door of every house. I am afraid that the baby girl born to the woman abducted from the patriarchal Xiahe Village may Buried under the tree, not just under the tree at Zhao Xiaoliu's door, Chu Rui was a little worried that they thought of this, and then continued to question herself.

Obviously, Chu Rui thought too much.

"Yes! Hua Leshen, you are so smart!" Zhao Zi praised.

Gan Xiaoxiao made a thinking expression and agreed.

Chu Rui: "."

What a room full of idiots.

But if you can persuade them to go to Zhao Xiaoliu's place together, that's fine!

Shang Zhongli nodded and said, "It's not too late, we're going to Zhao Xiaoliu's place now, this time we have to pry open his door!"

Gan Xiaoxiao shrank her head and didn't dare to look up. She pointed to the skylight: "There are so many monsters outside, how can we get out?"

[The author has something to say]: A room full of idiots

Shang Zhongli: "?"
