desert abyss

I go forward.Li Zhen pushed me back against the wall.

The woman's back is facing us, with long hair loose, golden ornaments and golden earrings on her head, flowers and pearls on her neck and hair, many golden bracelets on her arms, and a purple-red veil on her body. yarn.

I'm not interested in dealing with this kind of flower girl who doesn't know how to live or die.I saw another circular hole on the opposite side of the room, and I could go out, so I tugged Li Zhen and hinted to him that we should go there and go around directly.Li Zhen waved his hand, then gave me the flashlight, and walked towards the woman by himself.He bowed his back, not letting his shadow appear on the wall, just sneaked up behind the woman, and then slapped her hard on the shoulder.

The woman jumped up and yelled, and I yelled, but Li Zhen laughed.The woman stomped her feet and called out "little bastard", then began to take off the red gauze and jewelry on her body, and threw them at Li Zhen, revealing the close-fitting black overalls she was wearing.Li Zhen was thrown all over the room by her, and finally hid behind me, the scene was extremely chaotic.

The woman came towards me.Under the flashlight, I saw her appearance clearly for the first time: Sister Yu's looks, Sister Yu's figure, at least 1.7 meters tall, wearing high heels can catch up with me.It's strange to say that it's obviously not my favorite type at all, but it made me have a great impression, so that the idea of ​​"if she is alive, I will chase her" passed by in the chaos.

Attractive is attractive, I am still afraid.I pushed Li Zhen forward, and he shrank behind me. We pushed and shoved like schoolchildren.The woman stretched out her hand, grabbed Li Zhen's ear and twisted it aside, making him howl.

"The hero spares his life, the hero spares his life, sister, old sister, we have something to say..."

Then the woman let go of him, turned her hand and turned my face, looked left and right, and then put it down in satisfaction.

"Yes, you look like a dog." She stroked her hair, "I'm Li Xiang."

Li Zhen's sister doesn't look like him, but she is also very beautiful.Her dress up and movements are very handsome, forming a big contrast with Li Zhen.

"Didn't I tell you not to meddle in it? It's good now, and you still make it like that." Li Zhen said angrily.

Li Xiang asked Li Zhen for a cigarette.Li Zhen touched one from his trouser pocket and lit it for her.

"You lost your backpack, you lost your flashlight, but you didn't lose your cigarettes and lighter." I couldn't help complaining.

"I just said straight to the point," Li Xiangdao, "The owner was kidnapped and said he came down here. I think the situation is urgent, and none of you can see, so I came down first by myself. Someone will follow up later. .”

"How did you get kidnapped?" Li Zhen took a puff of cigarette.

"What happened to the Liao family! Those who don't have long eyes asked someone to tie up the owner. Fortunately, the owner was a bitch, and said in the middle of the night that he would go out to roast mutton buns, but he didn't come back after going out. Once the owner was kidnapped, the Liao family They quit, and all the Germans they brought back were sent back, and Liao Xiaodan also withdrew. Fortunately, Xu Jin rushed to report that Yang An was lost!"

Li Xiang let out a bad breath.

"I was so angry that I almost killed them myself. Fortunately, Liao Xiaotian and Chen Yuanyuan are still a little loyal. They both came down, and Xu Jin also came down, but we were all separated. Don't say it, I'm here Pretending to be a female ghost has also deceived many people, and they all sneaked past me, and you are the only one looking for trouble." Li Xiang threw the cigarette butt on the ground. "Where's Huang Kun? I haven't seen any of him and the Russians he brought."

"I don't know! He's dead!" Li Zhen was furious.

"Dead is not dead," Li Xiang took out something from his neck and looked at it, "I probably couldn't find you to meet, so I went out first, that's okay."

I saw something in her hand, vaguely the jasper amulet that I had seen many times.

"Wait, why is jade in your hand again?" Li Zhen also took out something from his neck, "Didn't I ask him to come?"

Li Xiang smiled proudly.

"Huang Kun knew that you would pester him for jade, so he gave me the real jade in advance, and then gave you a fake one. The one you asked that girl to hand over to Yang An was fake. I heard that the one was cracked .The estimate you are carrying now is still fake. The real jade has always been in my hand."

"So the one I messed up is obviously a fake!" I was annoyed for a while, "He still pretended to be like that, which made me feel guilty for a long time!"

"His uncle's Huang Kun doesn't know anything, so he will pretend to be like that." Li Zhen's anger continued to rise. "Remember, jade is there for people, and people are for jade. Nothing will happen to the person wearing that piece of jade, and that piece of jade will never break unless Huang Kun himself dies."

"So, how could such an important thing be given to someone like you casually." Li Xiang also said to me mockingly.She took the jade off her neck and handed it to Li Zhen, "Here, here it is, okay."

Li Zhen hummed and brought it over and took it with him.

"Poor God, I'm jealous of you." Li Xiang patted him, then took out two large bags from under the stone steps, and began to rummage through them. "After so many years, it's time to get used to it, ah."

"It's been so many years? Wait, you don't think so, then I..." I had an ominous premonition.

"No chance." Li Zhen patted me on the shoulder, "We have no chance."

"I fell in love at first sight for the first time..."

"It's useless," Li Zhen said with a smile while looking at my shocked expression, "My elder sister married Huang Kun a long time ago."

"Well! Lost!" I sighed sincerely, "Although I can't rob him in robbing women, I still lost!"

"You eat King Zhou's water and soil again, and say that King Zhou is immoral. It's okay, they just got divorced recently in order to divide the house, you can be a mistress if you work hard." Li Zhen urged.

Li Xiang smiled "puchi".

"Yes, it's more troublesome who will take care of the children." She said.

"What? Children? And children?"

"The child can walk," Li Zhendao said, "It's okay, she's a girl, she will look good when she grows up, there is hope."

"It's a shame to meet an uncle like you."

We left the stone chamber while talking nonsense.

After that, I spent a whole day with Li Zhen and Li Xiang.This was actually one of the few meetings between me and Li Xiang, although in the next six years, many things that happened around me were related to her.

We walked all the way, the road did not fork, and we passed through one stone chamber, and then we would enter another stone chamber, and kept moving forward.

"Tell me about your boss, what kind of person is it?" I asked Li Xiang

"Our boss? I can't say much else, I can only say that he is stupid, but he is a good man. He saved me twice." Li Xiang said, "One time was when Li Zhen and I were young, if he hadn't adopted us, We don’t know how far we have fallen. The other time was when I was in college, there was something in the school, and there was a lot of trouble. He came to our school to settle it.”

"Which university are you from?" I asked curiously.

"Going abroad." Li Xiang said calmly.

"Me too, why haven't I seen you?" I regained my energy when I heard that, "And there are surprisingly many people going out here."

"Haha, that's because the boss also came out, and his subordinates are naturally like this. He is 20 years older than you, of course you don't know him. And I am four years older than you, so I should have missed it back then." Li Xiang Said lightly.

"I lived in the school dormitory eight years ago. In 01, the Songjiang campus was just built, and undergraduates were still moving in one after another. The school is in the suburbs, and the surrounding area is very desolate. Walking from the classroom to the dormitory at night, I still feel sad. Hairy."

"At that time, the Shanghai subway was not established, and the transportation was inconvenient. It took four hours to get to Songjiang by bus from the city, and it took at least eight hours to walk. I don’t bother to go to the city on weekends, and have been locked in school to get moldy.”

"It's easy to go crazy in such a mental state. In winter, it's freezing cold. On the day of the first snow, some girls jumped from the teaching building opposite our dormitory because of the pressure of their studies. After that, the building has been haunted. The teacher on duty resigned, and some students who walked in the teaching building at night said that they saw something floating outside the window. After that, rumors spread, and people with good things went to the floor where the girl jumped to play pen fairy, and five of them died playing. Two, and one went to a nursing home, and the other two dropped out of school later on. After that, the incident became serious."

"I called home to tell the story, and Yang...his family came to the school. He had agreed with the principal in advance, took the key of the building, locked the front and back, and left him alone in it. A boy who wanted to sneak in to see it was chased away by the dormitory supervisor. At night, the building was lit, and my roommate and I looked in from the opposite side. The host sat cross-legged on the desk alone, facing the window. , we could only see his dark shadow against the light. He just sat there, motionless, like a wax figure. We couldn’t see Mingtang, and went to bed early that day.”

"In the middle of the night, I woke up suddenly. I could only hear the laughter of someone far away. It was a maniacal laughter, almost screaming, like the barking of hyenas. The roommates were all awake. We didn’t dare to move in the dark. I couldn’t hold back my curiosity, so I went to the curtain and took a look outside. My boss was still sitting cross-legged on the desk, but at this moment he was laughing wildly, laughing The whole person trembled. Although it was a very strange situation, but because I knew him well, I couldn't help laughing when I saw him like that. After that, I closed the curtains. My boss was alone in the opposite building Laughed all night, and nothing happened here all night."

"The next day, my boss couldn't talk very much, and he swallowed the golden throat lozenge by himself. Afterwards, he told me that it's better not to laugh like that, it's easy to laugh silly, because he's not very smart, so it's okay to smile, smart people I probably got sick from laughing... But he told me that many things are not so terrible. Human fear breeds new fear. When fear, resentment, grief and anger gather, only a smile can solve the problem."

"Afterwards, some male teachers went to clean the building and said there was no problem. I was not afraid after going through this one time. But the other people in the circle were frightened by my boss's laughter. The dormitory building stipulates that anyone with Boyfriends have to call their boyfriends to spend the night with them. I had no choice but to call Huang Kun. Fortunately, Huang Kun was very patient. He had classes in the city and finished school at [-] pm. He rode a bicycle for three hours and came here at [-] pm When he came to our place, he just picked me up and went back to the dormitory after evening self-study. The other three girls in our dormitory did not dare to sleep without him. He had to take a sleeping bag and lie on the floor of our dormitory, and then get up at four or five o'clock in the morning Bike back. At first, the aunt in the dormitory didn’t recognize him. When she saw him coming, she picked up the broom and chased him all over the school to beat him... Now that I think about it, I still feel a little sorry. In fact, I asked Li Zhen to accompany us at first. Li Zhen actually said that he was scared! He was scared! I don’t know who pulled him up!”

"No wonder I heard you laughing when I was walking on the bridge just now!" I rolled my eyes, "Your employer is unreliable. In such a terrible place, laughing is obviously scarier than screaming."

"The reason here is simple," Li Xiang said. "When a person is extremely frightened, if he laughs, the extreme contrast will be regarded as mental abnormality. When you think of mental abnormality, everything is scary. At this time, you can't think about it. Just think about it. When Cao Cao walked Huarong Road, didn't he laugh on horseback? Sometimes people need that kind of optimism. There is a saying Have you heard it: Girls who love to laugh don't have bad luck."

"It's not the same thing..."

"Look at our family, Li Zhen, because he likes to laugh, he is likable. Huang Kun is not likable because he doesn't like to laugh and is gloomy. People still have to love life and be responsible for life."

"Only you think your brother is likable..."

"..."

"Yang An...QAQ..."

"..."

"QAQ!"

"What should I do now?" I asked Li Xiang. "Your boss has been kidnapped, should we go out, or go find someone?"

"There is only one way to go here, and you can always meet it," Li Xiang said. "If you are really in danger, then of course you should go first! I'm here to explore the way, and the backup hasn't come down yet. At this time, I can only go first." Run away and talk."

"Then what about your boss?"

"Do you understand stop loss, stop loss. Your stock is locked up by others. It's good if it can go up. If it doesn't go up, you lose money. Let it go. Don't think about it and lose money."

"It's miserable enough for your boss to do this." I teased.

"Some things about the boss are more important to him than life," Li Xiang said.

Saying this, we entered a long corridor.

Lee Jin signaled us to shut up.

We don't need a reminder, there are lights, figures, and a strong smell of blood at the end of the corridor.What Li Xiang said is right, there is only one way, and you will always encounter it.

We weren't sure what was going on ahead, and each of the three drank some water and ate something.The only weapon I had was a knife.Li Xiang had a gun on her body, and she gave it to Li Zhen at this time, and she only carried a knife.

The most interesting thing about Li Xiang's character is that her thinking is extremely logical, at least much more masculine than Li Zhen's. Even if her choices seem wrong at first glance, they are probably the result of careful thinking and calculation.Five or six years later, I looked at her and Huang Kun's children. Although they were in elementary school, they were already a walking supercomputer, and they could be used as military commanders without any problem.

So we big men can never understand whether Li Xiang has real feelings for us, or has been doing things that she thinks can be logically "stopped". After all, for her, some things are indeed more important than life.

Anyway, I think that at that time, there seemed to be something in the dark that prompted Li Xiang to give a lot of things to Li Zhen.It's hard to say in hindsight whether this was a wise choice, but if she hadn't done it, it might have been Li Zhen who died.
