03 Hiding
They called the terrifying cannibal monster "God" and said that he has "slept" now. Does that mean that even if he is temporarily hiding in that shrine, he will not be discovered by that "God"?
Thinking of her life hanging on her back last night and the fact that "God" could not eat her food, Luo Yu'an suddenly felt a little relieved and glad.
It's okay, it must be fine.
She kept muttering in her heart, listening quietly to the movements of the people outside. They scattered into the room to search. If she couldn't find her in the room, she would soon think of the gaps under the corridor, but she didn't know if she would happen to be seen when she went out. After hesitating for a long time, she felt that she could no longer delay.
I raised my hand and took off my shoes that would make my footsteps sound when I walked, and quickly looked outside. Except for the back of an old lady, the rest of the people entered the room. This was a good opportunity!
Don't see me Don't see me Don't see me Don't see me!
She jumped out quickly, her heart beating wildly, but no sound was made. She only looked at the slightly shaking shrine curtain in her eyes. She had never had such agile and rapid movement before. She raised her foot and stepped onto the corridor on the edge of the shrine. The curtain was already in front of her!
At this time, the old lady turned around, and Luo Yu'an felt a sudden slap in her heart and threw herself into the curtain. She didn't know if the action had been seen just now, but she felt that someone might open the curtain to check in the next second. She couldn't help but raise her head stiffly and quickly to scan if there was a place inside the shrine to hide. She saw the area wrapped in the center of the curtains, and rushed in without thinking and hid herself behind the curtains.
The interior floor of the shrine building is made of dark and smooth wooden floors, which seem to exude a special light fragrance. She sat on the ground, unable to feel the coolness of the ground at all, and her eyes stared at the drooping curtains in front of her.
The faint voices outside became extremely distant. The light that came in also fell in an inch by inch. Someone was talking softly outside, but he couldn't hear clearly.
"Time... late..."
"There is no way... waiting outside... will always... come out..."
"Leave first... no matter... you can't disturb you anymore..."
Hearing the word "Leave", Luo Yuan relaxed a little instantly. As soon as he moved his feet, footsteps walked into the shrine. She immediately stopped and held her breath to concentrate. Fortunately, the person who came in did not mean to lift the curtain, and only bowed outside the curtain and then quickly retreated.
It took Luo Yuan a long time to confirm that they had really left. She couldn't believe that these people gave up looking for her so quickly, but thinking about it, perhaps for them, it might be like a mouse running into the yard. Even if they wanted to catch the mouse, they couldn't find it for a while, and they didn't dare to disturb the owner too much in order to catch a small mouse.
After all, for him, a mouse cannot be too harmful.
The crisis was temporarily lifted, and Luo Yuan was instantly crushed by the deep fatigue. The fatigue came from not sleeping all night last night and the tense day of today. During this period, she had not eaten or drank water. This state made her slow reaction, and she even realized that there was the "god" behind her.
Night fell again, and the faint fragrance of last night was floating in the quiet air. A red light suddenly lit up behind her. Luo Yuan instantly remembered everything she saw last night, and her hair stood up behind her back.
She was unable to see the scene clearly when she rushed in. At this moment, she stared at the shadows that were illuminated by the red light and turned her head inch by inch.
There were many terrifying scenes in my mind uncontrollably, such as after turning over, I found two white sleeves hanging in front of me, and behind me was a "god" who turned into a monster-like appearance, staring at me.
However, I turned my head and nothing terrible happened. A red light was the light of a red candle, which looked like an ordinary candlestick, full of ancient aura. What looked thicker and more gorgeous than this candlestick was the...the magic platform in the middle of the curtain.
It could probably be called a god platform. Luo Yuan didn't know how to describe it. It was a style similar to the shrine architecture, but it was countless times more gorgeous. The huge red wood in the black carved out various patterns and patterns, forming a three-layer exquisite pavilion inside and outside. There were many incense burners on the outermost layer, with many traces of incense burning; there were many tributes, fruits and snacks on the middle layer; the innermost layer was like a small separate room with cushions, and at this time there were dense red lines hanging there, and a red cocoon hung in the middle.
Luo Yuan forgot to be afraid for a moment, and was shocked by the extremely exquisite work of art in front of him and the atmosphere full of solemn and mysterious atmosphere.
The first time she came to her senses, her eyes did not stop on the inner red calluses, but unconsciously lingered on the second layer of offerings. This was the most instinctive behavior, because at this time she was really thirsty and hungry, with burning stomach and weak hands and feet. Even yesterday, she had never eaten in prison. Now she has not dripped water for two days. She can lick her lips slightly and lick the blood overflowing from her cracked lips.
She hesitated to go forward a few steps, trying to get closer to the second floor of food. She looked at the red cocoon nervously, and then, she knelt down properly, as if she was going to worship Buddha in a temple, and she carefully bowed to the "god".
The big red peaches were held in their hands, cold and spread with the unique fragrance of fruits. The snacks were small and exquisite, exuding a sweet fragrance. Luo Yu'an sat beside the curtain and ate these foods bit by bit. During this period, he kept paying attention to whether the red cocoon was moving.
She is a brave woman. Before that happened, she treated everyone kindly and tolerantly, didn't like to care about others, and was easy to talk to, so she would always suffer losses.
The boldest thing she did in her life, the only thing she cared about was that murder. But even if she killed someone, she was still the timid person she used to live in ordinary struggles.
Filling her stomach, she finally felt relaxed.
The red candlelight was burning quietly, but the red candle did not decrease. After getting used to it, Luo Yuan felt that the red light seemed not so terrible. She stretched out her body and walked out. Even if the calluses didn't move, she still didn't dare to stay there all the time.
The outside was not completely sunk in the darkness, and the full moonlight hidden half in the clouds allowed her to see clearly everything in the yard. She just came here yesterday evening, but because she was nervous, she didn't dare to look at it anymore. Who would have thought that after all the terrible things happened, she could quietly observe every corner of the yard here.
She suddenly discovered that there was a row of plants planted on one side of the shrine, and red flowers appeared faintly among the branches and leaves. There were more than a dozen single-petal red camellia trees connected into rows. You could smell the faint fragrance of flowers when you got closer. It turned out that the fragrance I smelled from last night was emitted by these red camellia teas.
Luo Yuan lay down in the corridor on this side. She was too tired and fell asleep in a daze as soon as she lay down.
People's dreams are always unimaginable, and people cannot know that they are dreaming when they are dreaming. Luo Yuan in the dream forgot that he was in danger and forgot that he was shocked all night. She returned to her home where she had lived for more than 20 years. The house was an old residential building that had been decades, and her home was her home with a pot of small flowers on the balcony on the three-story balcony.
My teenage sister just got off school and helped her choose vegetables and told her about what happened at school.
"Sister, when I go out to work in the future and make a lot of money, we will live in another place and build a villa to plant flowers and grass in the yard."
"OK."
"Sister, what do you think I will be an actor in the future?"
"Yes, Xiaojing is pretty."
My sister smiled, and a beautiful woman's face was filled with the light of youth.
Later, the brilliant light disappeared. She left a suicide note and jumped down from the roof. From then on, the sister who was dependent on each other was frozen in a black and white photo with a smile on her face.
The dream changed from happiness to despair, and in just a blink of an eye, Luo Yuan woke up with a cold body and found that it was not dawn and her whole body was frozen. She also found that she was sobbing quietly, with wet tears on her cheeks, and she woke up from crying.
She hasn't woken up from dreams and cries in the night for a long time, probably because she was too nervous these two days.
The temperature outside was very low, and she trembled and entered the shrine again. Only a layer of curtains were separated, the inside and outside of the shrine seemed to be two worlds, and it was as warm as spring. As soon as she came in, she felt like she was shining by the warm sun. Luo Yuan turned her eyes to the red candle and found that the temperature inside seemed to be brought by the strange red candle.
She lay on the warm ground and tried to rest again, but couldn't sleep. She could see the red cocoon where she was lying, and the cocoon was hanging there without any movement. She began to imagine what would come out of it. Generally speaking, butterflies should appear inside the cocoon.
Then she began to think about what she would do in the future. She could not hide here forever, nor could she go out. But no matter what she thought, there was only a destined ending of death before her. She could not think of any way to survive, and she couldn't help but fall into a confused depressed state. She was confused about the road ahead, so she could only take one step at a time and live.
On the second day of hiding in the shrine, she ate some offerings from the second floor of the shrine.
On the third day, it's still the same.
During this period, the door in the yard was never opened again. She tried to get close to the door and heard the sound of footsteps walking slightly outside. There was nothing to climb in the yard. Even if she could climb out, she could predict that the outside of the yard must have been surrounded by people, waiting for her to fall into the trap.
She looked at the red cocoon and knew very well that when the "god" came out of the cocoon, her death date would come.
But she didn't expect that the god "breaks out of the cocoon" so quickly. On the third night, she woke up from her sleep again. In the mist, she saw a red cocoon falling on the mat. A touch of white appeared on the surface of the cocoon wrapped in red silk, which was a white sleeve.
Luo Yuan woke up with a trembling heart, and then opened his eyes and saw the dawn, and his long black hair exposed from the silk cocoon.
The courtyard gate, which had been closed for three days, opened, and someone came in stepping on the rising sun. They rushed straight to the shrine. Luo Yuan heard the movement and rolled and hid behind the curtains. He saw two old ladies pulling up all the curtains outside, and they were still walking in, and they also raised the hanging curtains layer by layer, so that the sunlight could penetrate the shrine.
Luo Yuan was forced to hide in the innermost layer, but she still couldn't hide her figure. Seeing that the last layer of curtain was about to be lifted, Luo Yuan ran to the red cocoon without any hesitation. The "God" who had not yet completely broken out of the cocoon revealed most of her body. The cocoons made of red silk threads were stacked as they spread out, piled beside him like a quilt, and Luo Yuan pierced her head.
