Forced To Survive

Yun Ranran was speechless for a long time.

Yupei persistently radiated heat, reminding her [the crisis is in progress...], but now this absurd scene made her mind go blank.

Before she was a child who stabbed women and men to death with scissors, now she is a dead woman...

The way of death is [punctured by a sharp blade through the viscera], which is the same as the way a child pierced a woman's body with scissors last time, so this death warning is not for that child, but for this woman?

In other words, she will die by her own hands...

Isn't this a dead end?

She sniffed the air and found that it was different from last time, the eerie feeling of being always watched disappeared.

The sun is setting and the breeze is blowing, just like an ordinary evening.

She calmed down and began to pay attention to the bowl of mutton soup. The meat was stewed very badly, and the aroma was tangy. She instinctively felt that there was nothing wrong with this bowl of soup. She took a spoon and tasted it, and found that there was no salt, so she grabbed a small handful Sprinkle in finely.

Then she walked to the door of the firewood house she was concerned about, and found many red lumps on the door frame. When she picked it up and squeezed it, it fell into powder, which was red soil.

She opened the wooden door, and there was no one in the woodshed.

She noticed that there were a lot of red mud stained on the walls, the ground, and the firewood pile, and then she saw the animal trap beside her. There was blood and red mud on the trap, as if a man had stepped on a red trap when he went hunting. Mud pits, I didn't pay too much attention when I came back, so I made them all over the woodshed.

But how did it stick to the wall and the woodpile?

And the red mud reminded her of the bloodstains she saw when she was a child...then it was blood, now it's red mud again...so is it blood or red mud?

Suddenly there were footsteps outside the door, and she exited the firewood room, only to find that the wooden door had been opened, and a man came in with a limp.

Light gray burlap top and trousers of linen with a dark belt around the waist.

He had a simple and honest face, holding oiled paper in his hand, as if he had wrapped something delicious, smelling like scallion oil, his shoes and trousers were covered with red mud, and there was blood in the middle of his right leg.

This is the terrible dad...

But looking at it now, his face doesn't look weird at all, it's just an ordinary and honest middle-aged man, and he even looks a little kind.

She didn't know what to say.

The man handed over the oiled paper in his hand and scratched his hair.

"I bought it for you and Zaier, eat it."

She took it and opened it. They were two shortbread pancakes, toasted brown and crispy. The dough was sprinkled with sesame seeds and chopped green onion. It was delicious at first glance.

Does this mean that you are not willing to buy it for yourself, so you bought two for your wife and children?

Is this man a nice guy?

The man limped in after giving the biscuits, and then smiled wryly: "I should listen to you, and go out after applying the medicine, the pain is worse now, it's useless when you're old, even hunting can hurt you like this. "

If the bloodstain on the leg was injured by prey while hunting, then the matter of the red mud in the firewood house was similar to what she had guessed.

Yun Ranran then said, "Why don't you change your pants and I'll apply some medicine to you?"

Just as the man was about to say something, there was another child playing outside the door.

"Little monster, no one loves, little monster, murderer."

The man's face darkened, and he said angrily: "The brat next door is here again, why do you say that about us, I'm going to talk to Aunt Zhang and them."

He immediately stood up and walked out quickly, because the movement was too big, which involved the injury on his leg, and the blood stain expanded a bit...

The man walked out the door angrily, Yun Ranran looked at his limping back thoughtfully.

Inflexible limbs, blood-stained pants and shoes...

Corresponding to the scene she saw at that time...

Did she see it wrong when she was a child, or is the current scene just an illusion?

Why does the child outside the door call the child little monster? Look at it, very often...

She tried to walk to the door and opened the wooden door, not knowing if she could go out, she tried to lift her foot, and fell outward, the sole of her foot stepped on a fresh stone brick.

she came out.

Outside the door was a simple fence surrounded by branches, and a few pieces of starched clothes were drying.

The man was on the left, arguing fiercely with the people in the house. She watched silently for a while, and suddenly a woman's voice came from the right.

"Auntie, Auntie."

She turned her head and saw a young woman in a sackcloth red dress. She was holding a bucket of clothes, drying one by one on a rack supported by tree branches.

"Hurry up and send that child away. They say there's something wrong. It's weird. Don't take it seriously. You'll hurt yourself then."

Yun Ranran considered her words: "I think it's quite normal, what's wrong?"

The woman said: "That child is withdrawn and weird, with scary eyes. When he stares at you, he seems to pounce on you at any moment." I think she's trying to kill me..."

Yun Ranran frowned tightly, not knowing what to pick up.

The woman finished what she had to say, and persuaded her a few more words, the clothes had been dried, and when she was about to leave, she suddenly remembered something, swept away the panic just now, and looked a little shy.

"Where's the little brother who came to ask for a place during the day? Is he there?"

Yun Ranran naturally didn't know, and asked, "Brother?"

The young woman's cheeks were a little red, and she said: "Just the one at noon, didn't you agree, you are young and promising, it seems that you are still a little fairy in Taihua Mountain, I also... want to see it, I really envy you."

At noon, there is a monk from Taihua Mountain who came to ask for a place to stay?

Yun Ranran thought of the dismembered man in the firewood room for a moment, and recalled carefully that although the clothes he was wearing were torn and torn, they did look like the regular clothes of Tai Huazong monks.

When she was a child, the woman was frantically looking for this so-called "brother".

This is bizarre, if it is really a monk of Mount Taihua, no matter whether it is a man or a woman, it is impossible to kill him, let alone imprison him and chop him into pieces.

This monk has a big problem...

Twilight fell.

Everything outside the door became blurred, and she returned to the room.

The mutton soup was still gurgling on the stove.

The woodshed is still empty...

Her eyes moved to the living room, where God of Wealth was pasted on the wall, opposite to the children's room, is he in there now? or is it empty?

She thought for a while, then walked over, knocked on the door tentatively, but there was no response for a long time, feeling puzzled, she tried to peek through the crack of the door, and suddenly met a pair of blood-red eyes.

She took half a step back in fright.

It's that kid.

When did she walk to the door quietly...

Then she suddenly felt a chill down her spine, which was exactly the same as when she was a child...

She didn't break the cycle, and she didn't escape...

She is still moving forward according to the established trajectory. If nothing changes, she will eventually die under the sharp knife of a child.

But her current actions and thinking seem to have been affected to a certain extent. For example, she took a sip of soup in the kitchen before. If it was her, she would definitely not drink something uncertain, but she had a faint idea at that time.

[This soup is cooked by myself, there is no problem, now it's time to season, so I must taste it...]

It seems that everything is decided by myself, but it seems to be affected by invisible threads...

The cycle continues...

The child inside the door was also startled and fell to the ground. She pushed the door open and helped her up.

This time she saw her appearance clearly, it was a thin little girl.

She was wearing a starched linen shirt, her complexion was sallow, her eye circles were full of blue, and her eyes were more bloodshot than when she saw a woman before.

It's like I haven't slept well for a long time.

When children look at people, their eyes are full of fear and vague resentment.

The little girl looked at it for a while, then lowered her eyes, clutching the corner of her clothes with her fingers, silent and withdrawn.

Yun Ranran thought of everything she saw when she was a little girl, and compared everything in front of her, seriously thinking about which one was closer to the truth.

She took the little girl out of the room and made her sit at the table.

The little girl was thin and tired, looking sickly, looking at her silently and vigilantly.

Heartache and soreness suddenly surged in her heart, and her eyes even felt a little sour. Yun Ranran knew that this should be the emotion a woman feels when she sees a little girl.

She is feeling sorry for her, she is feeling sorry for the little girl...

Afterwards, she couldn't control herself and ran to the stove, filled a night of mutton soup, and placed it in front of the girl.

The phrase [eat some, if you don’t eat, you will grow your body] constantly emerged in my mind.

Women really feel sorry for this little girl...

After feeding the little girl, she went back to the kitchen, and everything went according to the established route...

Well, it's time for the man to come back...

As soon as she finished thinking, the door rang, and the man came back with his injured leg.

She looked at the man: "Have you talked?"

The man replied, "They say it won't happen again."

Then he lowered his voice and asked, "Is the baby better? Can I talk to her? Will it scare her?"

Yun Ranran replied: "I don't know, it doesn't look very good."

The man was a little depressed, his voice was low and worried.

"Zi'er has always been fine, but suddenly became taciturn a few days ago, and then he didn't even eat much, and became thinner and weaker day by day. Seeing a doctor didn't help, what should I do?"

Yun Ranran got new information that the little girl suddenly changed a few days ago.

"Tomorrow, I'll look for the little fairy who sent her here. I'm a little worried."

"I don't know if Little Immortal is here. He just left Taihua City a few days ago. It's not time for him to come yet. I'll try my luck tomorrow."

A new person appeared [the little fairy who sent the little girl here], he seemed to be a monk, this person just left Taihua City a few days ago, who could it be?

"Okay, you go, I will take good care of the cub." She heard herself say this.

The man nodded: "I'll go and see the child." After speaking, he dragged his injured leg towards the little girl.

She turned and looked back, and saw the little girl's nervous hands and eyes widened with fear.

She remembered this, the first time the man and the little girl had met in a previous experience.

Looking at it now, neither the man nor the woman has any malice towards the little girl, and even treats her well, but from the perspective of the little girl, both of them are ferocious monsters.

Something must have gone wrong.

She thought of the woodshed she saw from the perspective of the little girl, where a dismembered man appeared, but she had actually visited it several times, and there was no one there.

The man who died in the woodshed was actually the turning point that caused the little girl to collapse in fear and finally killed the two of them.

The dead man should be the one the woman in the red skirt said was staying overnight, but where did he go?

The mutton soup had been boiling for a long time, and she grabbed a handful of green onions and sprinkled it on top. When she just picked up the handle of the pot, someone walked in quietly through the open door.

She turned her head in surprise, and saw a figure in a white shirt with a sword on his back.

It was the monk who came to stay overnight and died in the woodshed!
