One Pillow Huaxu

Chapter 25 The Walking Shadow

Nada was taken aback when he heard the words, and followed Wu Xie's line of sight slowly down, only to see that his fingers were leaning very close to the heat source, and blisters had already burst out at this time.These blisters covered a layer of burns, which was also fresh.

Wu Xie said again: "I just reached out to pick up the boiling water lunch box that just came off the fire. I can't keep up with you young people, I have to carry something."

Nada's reaction became a little sluggish, he listened to Wu Xie's words in a numb manner, and kept looking at the stove.At this time, the burns were getting worse, and the scorching sound made a creaking sound, and the skin and flesh on the surface began to turn black, but he just stared blankly.

Seeing his reaction, Wu Xie suddenly reached out and grabbed the cigarette from the other party's mouth.He put the cigarette out on the ground beside him, and said casually: "If you want to smoke, you don't need to sneak around. I'm not a stingy person. I gave it to you during the horse riding competition in the village, and I even smoked it together."

Having said that, he coughed again, and suddenly made a stunned expression: "No, I was the only one who smoked. Why did you refuse me at that time?"

Wu Xie withdrew his deliberate expression the next second. He looked at Nada and asked lightly:

"No more coughing?"

Following Wu Xie's words, Na Da seemed to have finally come to his senses.He raised his head slowly and looked at Wu Xie.The expression was very strange, not expressionless, and even a little smile, which seemed to be no different from his usual one.

But at this moment, his face appeared extremely stiff, as if making this expression was not out of his own will, but something invisible was forcing his face to be like this.

Nadam and Wu Xie looked at each other for a moment, then suddenly let go of his hand, and the stove just fell to the ground.Sparks flew and went out all at once.

Wu Xie sat quietly on the spot, and at the moment when the surroundings fell into darkness, he heard the sound of breaking through the air above his head, and saw a figure quickly jumped down from the upper floor, pressed his knees on Nada's back, and pushed him down violently on the ground.

At this time, Wu Xie slowly stood up, walked to the place where the stove fell, picked up the stove and lit it again.

In the firelight, he saw Zhang Qiling who had disappeared just now squatting there expressionlessly, pressing Nada firmly.Wu Xie was not surprised. He took a few steps closer, knelt down, and shone a fire on Nada's face: "The day you told the ghost story, we didn't mention the hanged ghost next door."

Then, Wu Xie asked a question in a flat tone:

"Are you sure you want to go out?"

This is the second time he has asked this question.

Nada lay there lying there without any movement of struggling.His face was buried down, Wu Xie couldn't see his expression, and after a while he heard Nada's voice.Wu Xie bent down and heard the other party muttering to himself in Tibetan.The young man's voice was very vague, echoing finely in this dark space, unable to distinguish the specific content.

Wu Xie squatted there expressionlessly and listened. After a long while, Nada moved.His voice grew louder, as if he had regained the ability to organize language.

Nada asked clearly and slowly, "Do you want to go out?"

Wu Xie raised his eyebrows when he heard the words.He didn't answer the question: "When I was riding across the plain, I was still thinking about a question. People in the village are looking for an illusory thing, but before that, what kept them from going out of the village. MLM organizations keep people, There has to be a bait, too."

"Until I saw your changes later, I suddenly figured it out. Although I'm not sure everyone is like this, Shuhai's corpse is different from some of the villagers I have come into contact with now. It is a common pathological phenomenon.”

He put the stove in front of Nada and stood up: "Let's troubles bring different diseases such as smallpox, measles, scarlet fever, dysentery and influenza. The function of the straw man is to make these obvious or Hidden and hidden things are blocking the outside. I thought the straw man couldn't see the pros and cons, but from the mouth of the village witch, I knew that the pattern is positive."

"I thought about it later, then your village witch can resign. Isn't your village reversed?"

What good can a person bring by throwing away something?The numbness is not just in the mind, but in the perception of the body as well.

Wu Xie walked up to Zhang Qiling and patted Zhang Qiling on the shoulder.Zhang Qiling looked at him fixedly, frowned slightly, Wu Xie pulled him again, and then he let go of Na Da slowly, and stood beside Wu Xie.

"I don't cough anymore, it's good. It's just that how long can the earth recipe last? Just like plants, the roots are diseased and the rot will continue underground." Wu Xie looked down at Nada, "I'll ask you one last time. Are you sure?" want to go out?"

Only then did Nada have a more obvious reaction.He clenched his fist hard, lowered his head and slowly got up."To go out or not to go out, the choice is not up to me," he said.

"At the beginning, I just wanted to know why all this happened." Nada turned over and sat down, without looking at Wu Xie, and looked into the distance with a blank expression, as if talking to himself, "But everyone is hiding it from me. , don’t let me know. I have thought about why this is for a long time, probably as you said, we are the same way.”

"Then I wanted to run away. The truth of all this is too scary. I'm not a person who can bear these things. But no matter how I run, these things will always follow me." He fished out a stick in his pocket. Smoke, lit on the swaying fire, and put it in his mouth, "These things are terrible, not only in the senses, but also in the brain. They have been telling me that this is my life."

When Wu Xie heard this, his expression gradually became a little complicated.Nada took a deep breath of cigarettes: "I faced it directly and thought of many ways. But later I found that everything was too painful. In the process of fighting against your life, you are like a person caught in a sandstorm. People who walk in it. Every second there, any slack is fatal.”

"So do I want to go out? I probably do. But by staying, I can stop dealing with that stuff. I can smoke as much as I want, and I can relax. In the end, I don't care about that anymore. What kind of bullshit truth."

Having said that, Na Da stood up and faced Wu Xie.His expression seemed a little numb, but probably because of the firelight, his eyes were still a little bright, as if the feeling he gave to this young man when he first met him hadn't disappeared.He said:

"Probably everyone is crazy. Some lunatics will pursue what they are obsessed with, and some lunatics will escape. But lunatics are also ordinary people."

Nada laughed and said, "Do you understand this kind of pain?"

Wu Xie looked at the other party firmly.After Nada spoke, he was very quiet from beginning to end, just listening silently.

Hearing this, he also laughed: "I understand. Because I used to be an ordinary person."

Wu Xie followed Nada's line of sight, and there was a bottomless darkness.Wu Xie said, "I can answer your question now."

Nada smiled again: "You said that we are all the same. Why you came here is all because of your own thoughts. You can stay here and forget everything."

Hearing this, Wu Xie refocused his gaze on Nada's face: "My answer is very simple."

He looked at the familiar young man, smiled, and replied four words: "Fuck you."

After finishing speaking, he seemed to feel that he had stood there for too long, so he stretched his neck and patted Zhang Qiling who had been standing silently next to him: "Enough rest, let's continue walking."

Turning his head, he saw Nada looking at him in a daze, thought for a while, and then took a few steps towards the other side: "Why do people walk into the sandstorm, is it active or driven. You and I are Is it a type of person? Now I feel that I may be wrong. Everything I do is not only to perfect myself, but also to find someone."

After he finished speaking, he paused, and felt that Zhang Qiling's breathing beside him also stopped for a few seconds.But he didn't look back, walked to the stove and picked it up.

Nada looked at him steadily and said, "You will die on the road at any time."

"My life is hard, Lord Yan dare not accept me." Wu Xie said lightly, "All this is actually very simple, I just need to find the lost person in the wind and sand."

He put the glowing stove in Nada's hand, and said softly, "That man is an oasis."

In the end, Nada climbed down the stone ladder alone and returned to the lower floor.Wu Xie stood on a high place, watching the young man standing in the darkness on the ground below.The other party held up a weak wind lamp, surrounded by a large piece of bottomless darkness, as if it would swallow him up in the next second.

The young man stood in the dark for a long time, and he seemed to be looking at Wu Xie.After a while, he turned around and walked in the direction he came from.

Wu Xie watched the little light disappear into the darkness.The figure of the other party had already merged into the darkness, but Wu Xie knew that he was still walking, heading in a direction completely different from his own, like a walking shadow.

Suddenly, he felt a temperature coming from his hand.Wu Xie froze for a moment, and realized that Zhang Qiling covered his hand.Zhang Qiling's movements were very light. He clasped Wu Xie's hand, stretched his fingers between the opponent's fingers, rubbed them a few times, and slowly loosened Wu Xie's tightly clenched fist.

Only then did Wu Xie realize that at some point her fingernails had pierced her palm.He smiled, did not turn his head to look at Zhang Qiling, still stared at the darkness, and said a sentence in Tibetan: "???????????????"

Wu Xie said: "I now remember the full name of that young man. Maybe I heard it at the time, but I didn't pay attention. Do you know what Nada Suming means?"

Zhang Qiling also looked towards the darkness.He didn't let go of Wu Xie's hand, but moved his palm closer. After a moment of silence, he said lightly:

"simple and naive."
