C240 Day

I waited for a long time, but nothing happened. The moment the lid was closed, the sound of the outside world was completely cut off. I stayed in a quiet environment, which seemed to be very safe.

I touched my body. My soul was still there, unharmed. Could it be that the earthquake didn't affect me at all?

At that moment, I heard the old farmer struggling to wrap his wound. It was not easy because his whole back was full of wounds.

I said to the old farmer, "How are you?"

The old farmer heaved a sigh of relief. "I'm fine. Luckily, I ran very fast. I only lost a layer of skin."

I could hear the old farmer's words as if he didn't take the big change seriously, or rather, he was already used to it.

I curiously asked, "What happened just now?"

The old farmer said to me, "It's daytime. The day had arrived. Do you understand now? Why no one had ever gone out. Forget about whether or not there is a way out, just by meeting you in the day, you won't be able to get through. "

I said in wonder, "That's weird. Wasn't the sky just getting dark? Even if we had chatted for a while, it should have only taken us ten or so minutes.

The old farmer sighed, "This place is just like that. It's very strange. It's dark and there's no fixed time. You'll be able to sense it if you stay here for a long time."

"Those who are still alive are all quick to react and have sensitive senses. "Some idiots are very slow. This kind of person won't last more than five days in this damned place. He'll definitely be killed by the day."

I replied in agreement. I was becoming more and more doubtful about this world.

After a while, the old farmer said, "Alright, it's dark now. Let's go out."

I was a little afraid to go out. I said to the old farmer, "What should I do after dawn?"

The old farmer said indifferently, "It doesn't matter. At that time, we can just find a house and hide in it. As long as you hide in airtight, sunless things, you won't be hurt by daylight. "Don't ask me why, I don't know either. This is the accumulated experience of countless lives."

I crawled out of the coffin with a mind full of questions, then called Little Tang Wei out as well.

The three of us stood in the doorway and looked out.

I couldn't believe my eyes.

I was amazed, not at the chaos of the outside world, but at how orderly it was. The road was flat, the houses intact, and I couldn't see any signs of damage.

However … I clearly saw the wall fall, not to mention the old farmer's wounds testifying that I was not hallucinating. However … Why did it seem like nothing had happened outside?

The old farmer patted me on the shoulder, looking like he understood you. "When I first came here, I couldn't figure out why either."

I asked the old farmer, "What about now?"

The old farmer said, "Now I won't think about it. He could live for a day at a time. In any case, I am someone who has committed a sin in his body. Being able to remain in this world is already something that the heavens have shown mercy to.

I said to the old farmer, "As you said, there is no pure sin in you, and you have good thoughts. Do your best to live on, and try to break out of here. "

The old farmer was very touched as he thanked her. But I didn't take his tears seriously. Who knows if they were real or fake? I'm about to be tormented by this villager into delusional thoughts.

When we came out of the house, the old farmer said to me, "If you two really want to go out, I have a suggestion. You might as well go to the boss. He's the only one who might know the way out. I've thought about this question for a long time and I don't think anyone else can. "

Puzzled, I asked, "Aren't you coming with us?"

The old farmer smiled and said, "I can't. I still have another enemy to kill. I'll leave after I kill him. "

Then the old farmer cupped his hands at me and walked off in the other direction.

I suddenly understood what the old farmer's sin was. It was hatred. Perhaps one day, he will kill his great enemy, and by then the hatred will be gone, and I don't know if the old farmer will still exist.

I hope that there is a good will in him. If that is the case, the evil will disappear and the good will will remain.

When the old farmer left, the Little Tang Wei asked me quietly: "Hu Chujiu, are we really going to look for the boss?"

I nodded. "If we don't go looking for the boss, we can only wait here to die. It would be better to fight with our lives on the line."

When Little Tang Wei heard this, her face immediately revealed an expression of admiration, "Hu Chujiu, I realized how powerful you are …"

It was fine if she said that, but her face was red. In addition to her soft voice, it made one's heart itch when they heard it.

I helplessly said, "You're here again. Can you not always harm me?" You also want to harm others. "

Little Tang Wei said with an innocent face: "There's nothing I can do, my entire body is filled with evil, I'll hurt whoever I meet."

I thought for a bit, then said to Little Tang Wei, "You go hide inside the coffin, I'll go find the boss. If you find a way out, I'll come back and pick you up. "

Little Tang Wei said with some fear: "You're making me sleep in a coffin again, I don't want to go. "There are bad people everywhere, what if someone hurts me?"

I thought about it, and felt that it was indeed very dangerous to leave the Little Tang Wei in this place. I said to her, "Then follow me, but don't you enter the mutton restaurant and find a place to hide."

Little Tang Wei said, "Don't worry, I won't even enter that damned place."

The two of us walked very fast, all the way towards the mutton restaurant. On the way, I noticed a lot of people sneaking glances at us and then exchanging glances with each other.

I can see it, Little Tang Wei can naturally see it too. She whispered: "Hu Chujiu, what are these people trying to do?"

I said, "It's probably the boss's informant who's going to leak the information."

Little Tang Wei asked worriedly, "Then what do we do?"

I waved my hand. If only the boss knew the exit. He probably guessed that we would go back, but these people didn't report and the result was the same. "

Although we are not afraid of being reported by passersby, Little Tang Wei and I still avoid everyone. When we were almost to the mutton restaurant, I asked him to hide in a narrow alley, and then went around to the back door of the mutton restaurant.

The walls here are very high, and there's only one window on the second floor. If I recall correctly, opening the window would allow me to enter Xiao Miao's dorm.

The alley was quiet and there wasn't a single person around. I took a deep breath and carefully climbed up.

Who knew how many years this house had been built. Due to the wind and rain, large chunks of the walls had fallen, and there were large gaps between the green bricks. My fingers closed around the gap and began to climb.

Fortunately, I'm still a soul and I don't have much of a body, so after a moment, I climbed up.

I pushed at the window, but it wouldn't open. I remembered then that the window had been sealed from the inside.

I thought for a moment, then took the dagger out and cut it twice along the crack in the window, and then I heard a pop. Something had been cut. Relieved, I gently pushed with my hand, and the two windows opened.

I didn't go in immediately, but carefully looked inside. There was no one in the dormitory. I had already thought of that. Xiao Miao was bound by all means, and almost died. She finally escaped with great difficulty, she should not be coming back anymore.

I jumped in through the window, then cautiously went to the door, opened it a crack, and looked out.

It was night and the boss was supposed to be down there. I gripped my dagger and tried to recall my plan: I had to take advantage of the boss's surprise and force him to point out the way out.

When he was under my control, I would promise him that as long as he was honest, I would spare his life. However, when he told me everything he knew, I would not hesitate to kill him. Letting him go was equivalent to harming a lot of people.

Instead of going downstairs, I checked the warehouse and the owner's bedroom. There was no one there.

As for the buddhist hall, I didn't dare to go in. I looked through the gap of the door and found that the Buddha statue was sitting there perfectly still, as if it had turned to stone.

I took a deep breath, held it, and walked down.

The stairs were in disrepair, and I tried not to make a sound. It was night and the boss was supposed to be standing behind the counter, trying to attract customers, but when I got to the first floor, something strange happened because the boss wasn't here at all.

"Did he go out?" I wondered.

At this moment, I suddenly realized that I had made a mistake. I shouldn't have barged in to find the boss. I should have caught a villager first.

Since these villagers were the boss's informants, they should know the boss' position. If I were to find out the boss's secret from their mouths, knowing yourself and knowing your enemy, then you would be victorious.

Thinking of this, I hurriedly headed outside with my saber in my hand. However, when I reached the entrance, my heart suddenly tightened. I felt that there was someone behind me.

I didn't slow down and kept walking at the same speed as before, as if I didn't know what was going on behind me. One, two, three. When I reached the third step, I spun around and stabbed the man behind me with my dagger.

I heard a soft sound, and then my heart sank because I knew the man had dodged it.

Sure enough, when I turned around, the space behind me was empty. I couldn't even see the shadow of that person, let alone harm him.

Just when I was doing my best to find out where he was, I suddenly heard a faint voice, "If you want to live, then don't move."

Then a sharp pain in my neck.

I turned my head slightly and saw a cat with a human face. Its sharp claws were at my throat.

I was frightened by this image, but I still pretended to be calm and collected and said, "Xiao Miao, what are you trying to do?"
