Chapter 206: Diary
Huge panic invaded Ren Ke, making him unable to recover. He thought that this time he was really going to die.
He blurted out his question: "How do you know? Are you with them?"
Liang Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Is there something wrong with you? If I were to join them, would I be tied up and thrown here with you? Didn't I just tell you how to escape?"
Ren Ke still didn't let her go and continued to ask: "Why do you know so much?"
Liang Xiaoyu sighed and said in a sad tone: "Because my brother left a diary at home. The diary recorded some weird and bizarre events and a map.
I got here through the map."
"What do you mean by weird and bizarre events?"
Liang Xiaoyu shook her head: "It's better you don't know. Curiosity is the poison that kills everything."
Liang Xiaoyu's tone was very sophisticated and mature, unlike the initial impression she gave Ren Ke.
At first, Ren Ke thought she was an innocent girl who didn't understand the world.
Now it seems that the secret left in her heart is so deep and dark.
The unknowable secret was like a cat's claws scratching Ren Ke's heart.
He broke the casserole and asked: "You tell me, we are all going to die anyway..."
Liang Xiaoyu's eyes began to shine with red light again, in the dark cave, like the flickering light balls in a disco at night.
The people in the disco were drunk and dreaming, and the demons were dancing wildly; Ren Ke in the cave was extremely frightened and panicked.
"If I tell you, you may never have a chance to leave here..."
"There was no chance..."
"Ren Ke!" Liang Xiaoyu seemed a little angry: "Didn't I tell you that you can make a wish with that amputated hand bone? As long as you make a wish sincerely, you can escape from here!"
Ren Ke sneered: "Liang Xiaoyu, you just said make a wish, what's the price of making a wish? There is no free lunch in the world, and I am not a fool."
"How can there be a price for what my brother left me..."
"Then make a wish and let us both leave here."
Ren Ke's words stunned Liang Xiaoyu.
Liang Xiaoyu lowered his head, the red light in his eyes flashing faster.
"I don't want to leave here, my brother is here, I have to find him..."
"Then make a wish to let me leave here!"
"No! My wish is for my brother!"
"..."
"..."
After the two quarreled for a few words, Ren Ke felt bored again. Death was so close to him. He scratched his scalp with his claws, which was cold and eerie.
Ren Ke thought of the green, slimy peaks and canyons, the hands hanging down from the sky, and the fairy tale-like castle in the distance.
The hallucination that once frightened him became a good medicine to arouse his emotions at this moment.
He didn't realize that when he was thinking about this, he opened his mouth unconsciously, and a bug followed his lips and got into his mouth.
After a long time, Liang Xiaoyu finally spoke, her voice a little cold: "Since you want to know, then I will tell you."
Liang Xiaoyu twisted her body and found a comfortable position to lean on.
"My brother is a researcher of ancient writings. He travels to various places to find various ancient writings and bring them back for study.
One time, he brought back a stone sculpture, half the size of a hand, with wings and fangs, which looked a little weird.
I hate this sculpture.
However, my brother regards the sculpture as a treasure and will hold it while sleeping at night.
I feel that this sculpture robbed my brother of his care and concern for me.
So, while my brother was sleeping, I stole the sculpture and threw it into the trash.
The next day, it appeared in the middle of the living room in perfect condition.
There was green mucus flowing down its body. At first I just thought it was the dirt on its body when my brother picked it up from the garbage dump.
The brother wiped the green mucus carefully with a paper towel. However, the mucus increased more and more, and finally completely wrapped the sculpture, turning it into a pool of mud flowing downwards.
My brother knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing to it.
At that time, I felt that my brother was so strange. He kowtowed until his head was bleeding. I tried to persuade him, but he strangled his neck tightly.
I was almost strangled to death by him!"
"Did someone show up and save you?"
Liang Xiaoyu shook her head, with complicated eyes: "The sculpture turned into green mud and fell to the ground. My brother seemed to come to his senses and let go of me.
I fell to the ground and kept coughing.
The elder brother picked up the green mud that had been turned into a sculpture, and quickly left home, never to return.
After he left, I was angry and angry at first. When my parents asked me, I refused to answer.
Until a month later, when I was cleaning the room, I found his diary behind the photo frame..."
When she said this, Liang Xiaoyu looked horrified and her eyes moved around.
"What does the diary say?"
Liang Xiaoyu spoke slowly: "There are several news events recorded in the diary..."
Liang Xiaoyu's voice was low and her tone was steady, but Ren Ke broke into a cold sweat and felt weird and strange.
The story begins in a remote village a hundred years ago.
Old man Liu in the village spent his life's money to buy a daughter-in-law.
There were several women at the trafficker's place, but the one bought by Old Man Liu was the thinnest and sloppiest. She looked as if she were made of skin and bones and could be blown away by a gust of wind.
Who told Old Man Liu to save as much money as a landlord's family in his whole life?
The reason why he was able to buy this woman was because the landlord didn't like this frail and sick woman.
Old man Liu was very happy. He didn't need this woman to do anything. As long as he could warm his bed and give himself a son, he would be satisfied.
The woman was very obedient and did not resist. When she followed Old Man Liu home, she neither cried nor made a fuss.
After several days, Old Man Liu discovered that this woman was a fool. Her brain was not working well and she was physically disabled.
The woman accidentally peed her pants, her lower body was wet, and there was a foul smell.
Old man Liu stretched out his hand to help her change her pants.
The woman shrank in fear and muttered something vaguely.
Only when Old Man Liu got closer did he realize that what she was shouting was: 'Don't hit me...'
Old Man Liu showed a kind smile and said: 'I will never hit you in my life.'
He helped the woman take a bath, changed her pants, washed her hair, and used a comb to comb her frizzy hair bit by bit.
The woman gave him a silly smile.
