death like wind

"Drink some." Yan Xilin unscrewed the cap of the water bottle and handed the only little water in it to Su Jin. From morning until now, he himself didn't drink a drop.

Su Jin licked her dry lips, took the water bottle with some hesitation, shook the last bit of water in it, and said, "I'll save some for you."

Yan Xilin smiled and said, "I'm not thirsty, you can drink."

Su Jin still left a sip for him, licked the water stains on her mouth dry, and threw the water bottle into his arms with a smile: "This is yours, if you don't drink it, just dump it in the sand."

"You know I don't need to drink." Yan Xilin looked at him more helplessly, holding the water bottle in his hand, a little at a loss.

"Your mouth is dry." Su Jin glanced at him, wiped off the sweat from her forehead, and said, "It shouldn't be too far away. If you get heatstroke after you go back, I won't care about you."

They have been walking for more than two hours, but they haven't even seen a shadow of the attic. At this time, they have climbed the steepest cliff, a plain on a high mountain, and Qu Chen and Li Wan are also arguing. Without strength, he silently followed behind, dragging his exhausted body and insisting on moving forward, so that he was not thrown too far.

The wind and sand in the high places were very strong, making people's clothes rattle. Su Jin found a place with a leeward and sat down to wait for them. Bored, he hummed the background music that would never change in the dream, a song that seemed to be able to wash Gita for the soul.

"This song... where did you hear it?" Yan Xilin closed his eyes and listened to it for a while, then asked suddenly, his curly and thick eyelashes quivered, like the wings of a frightened butterfly.

"I heard it in my dream. I don't know why I hum it." Su Jin hummed again and again. The singing was light and gentle, with a bit of refined emptiness. After humming, the two of them were silent for a long time. Su Jin followed Yan Xi's example Lin leaned on the rock wall, closed his eyes and rested his mind, and asked, "Do you know what this song is called?"

"..." Yan Xilin was silent for a while before saying, "I don't know."

"I thought you knew."

"why?"

"Because you know everything?" After Su Jin finished speaking, she laughed haha. After the laugh, the atmosphere became silent again. He finally couldn't help asking the question that had been buried in his heart for a long time: "The nightmare world is equivalent to creating three worlds one by one. Is it the waste product of the week's failure?"

This time Yan Xilin remained silent for a longer period of time, so long that Su Jin thought he was asleep, so he gave a soft "hmm", very soft, enough to be blown to pieces by the wind.

"No, I have to stop and have a rest." Li Wan collapsed on the ground as soon as she finished speaking, as if she would die if she took one more step: "You guys are devils, why are you walking so fast! I don't even know what it is Stick to what I've come here."

Qu Chen was also exhausted, panting on his knees, but he was much better than Li Wan who had completely disregarded his image: "Come on, we have to leave as soon as we finish, time is running out, we can't get out if we don't find the mirage. "

"How fast are you resting?! Show me!" As soon as the legs were relaxed, the mouth couldn't hold back. Li Wan and Qu Chen started the process of greeting each other's ancestors again.

Su Jin looked at the time, there were more than 40 minutes left, and she was not in a hurry to leave, so she let them rest for 5 minutes. When they set off again, Li Wan's legs were as soft as noodles, and she stood up after trembling for a long time.

After walking for more than 20 minutes, they finally saw a blurred light and shadow in front of them, which vaguely looked like an attic. The closer they got, the clearer the light and shadow became. When they got closer, they had completely turned into a solid building thing.

Li Wan, who was dragging her cumbersome body, immediately revived with full blood, dancing excitedly, all fatigue disappeared, and she ran faster than anyone else.

"Finally I can go back, finally I can go back!" Li Wan burst into tears with excitement, crying and laughing at the same time, she didn't realize that this appearance was too funny after losing her composure for ten seconds, she quickly wiped away her tears and held back Showing a reserved yet general smile.

Qu Chen added: "It's even more ridiculous."

The exchange was naturally the Nine Yin White Bone Claw.

There is a wooden door in front of the attic, with weird runes drawn on it, and a groove in the middle, just the size of a token. Su Jin took out the token with the word "death" on it, and after a while, The heavy wooden door slowly opened with a rumbling sound.

A light came from the door, and he was sucked into the halo before he could clearly see the scene inside. After a while of dizziness, they had already returned to the bungalow.

......

Under the blue sky, the beautiful fragrance of flowers rushed into the tip of the nose, and instead of the whistling wind in the ears, there was the crisp sound of birds chirping. The breeze blew away the gravel stained on their faces. , Shaking off the sand all over his body, looking for the figure of his companion.

He landed at the attic in the backyard of the bungalow now, the door of the attic was still tightly closed, even under the bright sunlight, it looked very gloomy, with a musty and gloomy feeling.

Su Jin walked around the attic and called the names of the other three people. At this time, he was very worried that what he was teleported to was another trap that looked like a game world. After so many days of exhaustion, he really couldn't stand the toss.

A muffled hum sounded from the corner, and Su Jin hurried over to check, only to see Yan Xilin collapsed under a big tree, with a bag smashed on his forehead by a falling apple.

"..." Su Jin picked up the apple, wiped it, bit her mouth, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Newton was smashed by the apple and researched the force of gravity, did you research anything after being smashed by the apple?"

Yan Xilin rubbed his forehead and said, "I found out that you are worried about me."

"I'm worried about you big-headed ghost." After eating the apple in two or three bites, Su Jin clapped her hands and said, "Since we all came back successfully, the other two must be fine. Let's go and find something to eat."

"Let's go and see what's in the attic first?" Yan Xilin looked at the attic not far away, and probably had an idea in his mind, and said, "Is that token still on you?"

Su Jin touched his pocket, all other things in the game world including the map disappeared, only the token was still there, he took out the token, shook it, and said, "Can this thing open the attic here?"

"Try." Yan Xilin and Su Jin walked to the door of the attic. This attic looks very similar to that mirage. The only difference is the door. There are strange runes painted on the door of the mirage. The door to the attic is very ordinary, it is simply a door to a storage room.

Su Jin placed the token on the door in various places, but there was no movement at all. He said without hope: "Open the door quickly, Sesame Sesame." Originally, he was just talking for fun, but the token lit up a light, The light made a bend in the air and shot towards the wooden door, and the wooden door opened in response.

"..." So don't overcomplicate some things, because the designer is just a kid who just finished kindergarten.

"A Jin is really amazing." Yan Xilin boasted with a smile, pushed the door open, the sunlight only shone a few steps away, and the rest of the place was still hidden in the darkness.

Su Jin's scalp was numb from the praise, and she kicked him lightly to show her anger. She turned on the flashlight from the bikini rabbit, and a bright light instantly tore through the darkness, revealing the scene inside.

There was nothing strange about the arrangement in the attic, like an ordinary, abandoned residence, with a thick layer of dust on the old things, and the old gramophone still turning slowly.

This should be a man's residence, because the posters on the wall are all kinds of stars and the like, the notebook on the table is also full of various complicated calculation formulas, and there are some simple clothes in the closet. No kid or woman stuff.

In the whole room, the only abnormality is the pile of tattered dolls on the sofa. Their eyes are shining brightly, with a spirituality in them, making them look extremely weird.

"Don't touch!" Su Jin's outstretched hand was stopped in mid-air, and he came back to his senses with a sharp shout, only to realize that he had already walked to the sofa before he knew it, and he was about to touch it five centimeters away. Met the doll on the couch.

He quickly withdrew his hand, feeling palpitations, unable to explain why he was in a dazed state just now.

"Qu Xiao mentioned this loft in his notebook, but simply said that this is where his father lives, and there are many souls of her accompanying him in it. It seems that many of the dolls she is talking about may be these dolls."

Yan Xilin pulled Su Jin behind him, squatted down and studied it carefully for a while, and said: "These dolls are very weird, there are seven in total, from infants to the last doll with a small schoolbag, corresponding to each age Duan, from one to seven years old, I think, these may all be Qu Xiao, the old Qu Xiao."

"Will the current Qu Xiao become the eighth doll on the sofa in the future? Where will the nine-year-old Qu Xiao be born?" There were already many doubts, but now I encountered some new problems. People's brains hurt.

No wonder Qu Xiao is as delicate as a doll, it turns out she really is a doll.

Yan Xilin said: "Let's go eat first, these things are probably related to the puppet in Qu Xiao's arms."

Staying in this attic always feels that there are many people hiding in all directions staring at them. It is eerie and creepy. Su Jin rubbed her hungry stomach and left the attic with Yan Xilin.

The auntie gardener was still tending the roses in the garden, so she said hello to her, and they found the dining room, where the host was eating, and Qu Xiao was also sitting obediently on the chair, when she heard the movement, she turned her head and smiled innocently at them laugh.

The hostess came out of the kitchen with the dishes, and when she saw Qu Xiao, her expression turned cold instantly: "A money-losing product is a money-losing product. If it wasn't for your study, I would have fired all the chefs at home!"

It was only then that Su Jin discovered that apart from the gardener and the housekeeper, there were indeed other servants encountered along the way. It seemed that the hostess still didn't have a long memory to play cards, and now she couldn't even afford the salary of the servants.

Qu Xiao pursed her lips aggrievedly, looking very pitiful, she stretched out her chopsticks timidly with trembling hands to pick up a small piece of meat, her stepmother knocked the chopsticks hard, glared at her, and said, "Drink all the water!" It’s too bad to eat meat! Do you want me to cut off the meat for you to eat?”

Qu Xiao immediately put the meat back and lowered his head to pick up the rice.

Su Jin and Yan Xilin were sitting at another table. Their food had already been prepared, but they didn't know who prepared it.

Seeing this scene, Su Jin was secretly amazed: "I didn't expect this little devil to have people who are afraid of him. This mistress is really not simple."

Yan Xilin offered him a cup of hot milk to warm his stomach, and said: "The hostess must have something that can calm her down. Qu Xiao mentioned that there is something terrible on the stepmother."

"It's also from the diary?" Su Jin raised her eyebrows, took a sip of milk from the glass, and a circle of white beard smeared on her mouth: "It seems that I have to read it too, the contents inside are quite So rich."

Yan Xilin smiled and rubbed it for him with her fingers, the warmth in her eyes almost overflowing.

At that time, Qu Chen came out of the kitchen, holding a bowl of hot soup in his hand, glanced at them and then quickly moved back, seeing that there was nothing in Qu Xiaowan's home, and he had been eating white rice, so he asked, "What are you doing?" Why don't you just eat food?"

The hostess smiled and said: "She is picky eater, she only likes to eat pure rice."

Qu Chen laughed knowingly, sat down and put a large piece of meat into Qu Xiaowan's place, and said, "Eat more meat to grow taller."

Qu Xiao looked at her stepmother's face, put the meat back into her elder brother's bowl in fear, and whispered, "I don't eat meat, I just like to eat."

The stepmother couldn't understand how she looked like me. No matter how she looked at her, it was not pleasing to the eye. Her voice contained bursts of anger: "Eat what I give you, what kind of words are you pushing around!"

Qu Xiao shivered, sucked her nose to suppress the soreness of her nose, she couldn't swallow the food in her mouth, and the tears in her eyes were swirling.

"Mom, don't say a few words, my sister is still young." Qu Chen hurriedly made a rescue, patted his mother's back to comfort her, and hugged Qu Xiao for a long time.

Three people, one play.
