One Pillow Huaxu

Chapter 22 Escape

The two finally got out from under the coffin. When Wu Xie read the information, he saw certain scenes in the room at that time, and they soon found a secret door near the end of the coffin.

Below the door was a rough stone path going downwards, Wu Xie casually wiped his face, and jumped down following Zhang Qiling.

His movements were very straightforward, and he didn't see that he had experienced a very large psychological fluctuation before.Those emotions have been recovered, just like the blood that rubbed onto Zhang Qiling's body, it was absorbed by the fabric, and finally hidden in it, until the next time it is put into the water, it will not smudge out again.

Those emotions that erupted in the dark slowly subsided as the other party wiped his face clean.

At that time, Wu Xie was silent for a long time, and finally lifted his head from Zhang Qiling's shoulder.He patted the other person's back, coughed a few times, and said in a low voice, "Go out first. We have to go."

This didn't just mean leaving this room. Everything he learned here made him understand the true appearance of the entire village.The two went all the way down the curved passage, and finally the road gradually began to slope upwards. Wu Xie was slightly relieved-this road did lead to the outside.

Zhang Qiling walked very slowly in front, a few beats slower than when he came in.After following for a while, Wu Xie realized that the other party was worried about him, so she took a light to shine on his back and said, "I guess you have a reason, but I didn't expect you to take the initiative to take a step in the end."

Zhang Qiling turned his head and looked at Wu Xie out of the corner of his eye.His expression softened a lot, and he asked, "When did you see it?"

Wu Xie spread his hands: "It's very early. You didn't do it thoroughly, and the horse fell off at the beginning. It's just that the situation later was very complicated. Out of my own considerations and conjectures, this non-existent mask, There is no need to reveal it."

He covered up some things with "unnecessary" and said, "You keep wearing it, we're going back to the village soon. Don't make extra trouble."

At the same time, he recalled for a while, and added: "Before that, my guess was very unrealistic. Many times I felt that I had misidentified the person, because the person in my impression could not be like you in many ways, at least I don't think he'll know about my water glass habit."

"But I also know that I didn't admit my mistake."

As he spoke, he suddenly reached out and touched the back of Zhang Qiling's neck.Wu Xie's fingers ran through his hair very lightly, Zhang Qiling didn't respond, and still looked at him indifferently.

Wu Xie smiled: "Because you don't guard against me."

"I think it's an illusion, and it's also because you don't guard against me."

Feeling the temperature of Wu Xie's fingers, Zhang Qiling understood what he meant.The head, heart, and neck are all fatal positions for the Zhang family.Although he tacitly allowed the fat man Wu Xie to hook his shoulders before, once someone suddenly touched his life gate, he would still burst into murderous aura reflexively.

This habit continued until the first few days after coming out of the bronze door.In the beginning, even if Wu Xie brushed the back of his head unconsciously in the middle of the night, he would froze for a few seconds reflexively.

But with the passage of time, he got used to daily life, understood the eyes of the person next to him, made small movements that should not exist for the Zhang family, and also adapted to Wu Xie's behavior of touching himself.

After the two confessed, Wu Xie became very fond of physical contact, and he found that he also wanted to touch each other.

This kind of behavior was not seen in the long time of being alone, but the temperature it brought was enough to dispel all hesitation caused by strangeness, like an addiction, making it impossible for him to leave this person again.

Those conditioned reflexes for survival eventually become the most intimate defenselessness.When Wu Xie hooked his neck with his hands, he would take the initiative to hold the opponent's head, leaning himself towards him, eliminating the last point of distance.

This habit has continued to the present.It wasn't that he didn't want to touch this kind of temperature in the past, but the complicated fate and chaotic memory at that time made him finally decide to stand in a position where he could watch the other party, and was pushed forward by the life wheel.

Zhang Qiling quickly figured it out, sighed, and said, "Is this what I used to be?"

When Wu Xie heard this, his movements froze for a while.After a while, he withdrew his hand, moved the lamp down, and said lightly:

"Probably. But I haven't seen you for a long time."

Hearing this, Zhang Qiling's expression became a bit complicated, but Wu Xie ended the topic directly at this time, he hid his face in the dark, and signaled Zhang Qiling to move on.

In the following time, the two went up in silence, finally lifted a trap, and crawled out from the long darkness.

Outside was a blockhouse. They had stayed underground all night, and it was just dawn.It was raining outside the window, and raindrops kept hitting the glass. The light in the house was dim, and there was a dull sound of rain echoing.

Wu Xie looked around the house and found that this was actually the place where the village head lived.It's just that there was no one in the room at this time, the bottom of the bed was open, and the coffin underneath was also empty.

He already knew that if he stayed in Mengcun for a long time, he would face the risk of being assimilated, and now he didn't want to look any further, so he gave a brief instruction: "Split up, I'll go find Ma, you go back and get our equipment and water .Two and ten minutes later the northern plains meet."

"Having lived long enough, now's the time to play an unspoken farewell."

As Wu Xie spoke, he walked to the door and looked around the village.It was very quiet outside at this time, and no one could be seen in the blurred rain.

Wu Xie's tone was very decisive, now is indeed the best time to hurry up and leave.Zhang Qiling hesitated for a few seconds, and finally said "be careful", then turned over and jumped off the plank road, silently and quickly disappeared into the rain.

Seeing him leave, Wu Xie turned around and was about to go to the other side, but just as his feet were about to step into the rain curtain, a voice suddenly came from behind.

This voice should be very familiar, but after living here for a long time, it sounds strange to my ears now.Wu Xie turned his head expressionlessly, and looked into the dim room. There was something on the table against the wall, and the sound was coming from there.

That's a phone.

At this time, the phone was ringing continuously, mixed with the dull sound of rain, it became more and more harsh.Wu Xie stopped in his tracks. He looked at it for a while, then turned and walked back into the room to the table.The style of the phone was very old, it was a landline used by families in the last century, he looked down and remembered what Zhang Qiling and Nada had said.

Only the village chief has a telephone at home.This is also the only connection point between the whole village and the outside world.

The phone continued to ring, and when I stood in the room, the loud and sharp ringing echoed around the eardrums more obviously, it was extremely noisy, as if it was ringing in a person's brain one by one.Wu Xie watched coldly, then raised his hand to answer the phone.

The moment he picked up the phone, the voice stopped abruptly.The surroundings fell into a dead silence, only the faint sound of rain outside the window remained.

After a while, a voice came from Wu Xie's ear.He had heard that voice several times, it was gentle, with a slow tone, like a familiar and kind elder.

The other party said: "Guest, are you in a hurry to leave?"

Wu Xie listened expressionlessly, without answering, then reached out and hung up the phone.

He turned to face the door.The sound of the rain was getting louder, and the raindrops fell on the cold glass with a splashing sound.Wu Xie looked in that direction and said, "Village Chief, the farewell ceremony is too grand."

I saw that the plank road outside was densely packed with people at some point.Those are all villagers, they stand upright in the blurred rain, in the gloomy sky, like a black shadow that will disappear at any time.

The rain slapped the faces with different looks pale, and everyone silently stared in Wu Xie's direction, with the corners of their mouths raised, and exaggerated smiles on their faces.

The village chief stood at the front of the crowd, his hair was wet and stuck to his face, but he didn't even wipe off the rain, but just like when we first met, with a smile, he said to Wu Xie with concern: "Why? Let's go, is there something wrong? If there is something missing, just let me know."

Wu Xie looked back at the phone squinting as if she had never heard of it.He leaned over and pulled out the telephone wire behind the desk, looking at the break in the wire: "This phone is too old, it needs to be replaced."

The phone rang non-stop just now, but the moment it was picked up, Wu Xie realized that the call was not connected and the line was disconnected.The voice of the village chief did not sound from the receiver, but from outside the house.

"It doesn't matter, the village doesn't need this." The village chief smiled, and took a step forward. The rainwater continued to flow down his trouser legs, and "patta" stained a dark water stain on the floor.He walked straight towards Wu Xie with the backlight, his expression gradually became stiff in the shadows, as if wearing a mask.

"The other person can go, he doesn't belong here." The village chief stood still in front of Wu Xie, he looked at the other person's unmoved expression, his tone was still gentle, "Why did you come here, because you belong to this place place. You can stay here."

Wu Xie suddenly smiled when he heard the words: "But I'm old, and I can't listen to preaching, and second, I don't like others to order me."

While speaking, he suddenly switched from that inattentive state, grabbed the opponent's hand that was trying to reach his arm, twisted his back, and at the same time raised his foot to kick the opponent's knee, and knocked him down to the ground with a grab .

He put his knees against the village chief's back, took out a gun from his waist, lifted the other's head, and pressed the muzzle of the gun to the man's temple.

The villagers still stood outside the door, watching the sudden change unmoved.The village head was pressed against his head with a gun, and he laughed vaguely in his throat: "You have no bullets."

Wu Xie looked down at him, pretending to be surprised: "You guys live such a primitive life, and you still know guns."

As he spoke, he pressed his hand a little harder, and suddenly pulled the trigger without warning.

There was only a snap of the trigger, and at the same time, Wu Xie dubbed a sound: "Bang."

The village chief didn't even move. He said, "Look, we're not afraid of these things. Struggles, injuries, intrigues, we've gotten away from them, and you can get away from all these pains too."

At this point, his emotions seemed to be a little higher, and he tried his best to raise his head: "We are looking for a different dream. This dream can allow us to understand something deeper, but over the years, we have recorded countless things. a dream, but never found it.”

"You are unique. I believe your dream will guide us to the world of Kalavinka."

Wu Xie lowered her eyes and listened quietly. While listening, she freed one hand to feel in her pocket. When the village chief finished speaking, he said, "No wonder someone wanted to ask me to sleep in the coffin that night. Oh, I found it. I thought it was in the coffin." After the sea of ​​trees is over, I still left myself an honorable bullet."

He let go of the village chief's hand and loaded the bullet with a few clicks.

Wu Xie said: "I found the wrong person, I never have this kind of dream."

Accompanied by the sound of speaking, he raised his hand without hesitation and fired a shot at the ceiling.

There was a crisp sound of "bang", and a cloud of dust exploded from the ceiling above his head.The sharp gunshots instantly penetrated the dull rain and echoed in the valley.

Only then did the village head show a somewhat puzzled expression. He lay on the ground, looked at the villagers who were still standing there with a blank smile, and said, "It's useless, they won't be afraid of this."

"Of course I know. After all, some people don't feel pain when their necks are misaligned."

Wu Xie said lightly: "Your brainwashing assimilation is not absolute. Some people will fail, and those who fail will become Bam. I guess there is still a transition period before complete failure? Villagers who fail during the transition period will become Bam at night , wandering in the mountain wall and holding female ghost parties."

After hearing this, the village chief couldn't help sighing. He looked at the bullet hole on the ceiling: "You are really smart, but what's the use of knowing this now. Before they become Bam who really needs to be killed by us, they will Not afraid of anything."

Wu Xie said strangely: "Who said my glory bomb is used to scare people."

He smiled, leaned over abruptly to close the distance with the village chief, and said softly: "Flare"

After speaking, he simply stood up. At this moment, he heard a noise from outside, and saw a backpack being thrown into the crowd, knocking several people to the ground.

At the same time, a figure jumped onto the plank road, landed on the ground and swept his legs in a wide arc, knocking down several people nearby in the blink of an eye, then suddenly bounced the head of the person holding the door by the door, and smashed it vigorously against the wall.

Wu Xie ran towards the door, knocked down a villager with his fist, and leaned over to pick up his backpack halfway: "The action was pretty fast, but this group of bastards blocked me, and I couldn't find the horse."

"Let's go first." Zhang Qiling said with a frown. He ran to the door, grabbed Wu Xie and pushed him outside. At the same time, he turned around and kicked several villagers who got up again into the crowd.

Wu Xie took the lead in rushing into the rain curtain. He made two steps in three steps and jumped down several floors of plank roads to the bottom floor. When he looked up, he saw Zhang Qiling jumping directly from the top. Get up and grab Wu Xie: "Let's go."

"Go to the stable." Wu Xie said, and suddenly heard a voice not far away:

"Shut up the boss!"

He looked up and saw Nada standing there on horseback, with two horses beside him, waving desperately at them.
