Chapter 187 Illusory Tenderness

I walked around in the jungle, and now I am back with a serious injury. I am very exhausted. After lying on the kang, I can feel my legs are numb and numb. The fatigue is fading, but I am not sleepy. Every time I close my eyes, there is something in front of me.

A scene emerged of An Ru's head being pressed against the cold bluestone and smashed alive.

I didn't see that scene with my own eyes, but the picture was so real that I could even imagine the girl's twitching, wailing, and begging for mercy voice and expression.

I think it was probably because my conscience, which had long been thrown into the corner of my heart, was pricked.

It was almost noon, and there was a sound of footsteps in the courtyard, and then the door opened with a creak.

Anru's head slipped through the crack in the door, with a bright smile on her face, still looking so gentle.

"Brother Jingzhe, it's time to eat."

She smiled and said: "I just came back and I didn't care about cooking anymore, but I have some nests that I made before and they are baking on the stove. Can I bring them in for you?"

I rubbed my sore eyes. I didn't need to look in the mirror to know that my eyes were bloodshot. After thinking about it, I said we should eat together outside. It was too depressing in the room.

An Ru's face flashed with joy, she responded, turned around and left.

I couldn't understand her, so after a moment's hesitation, I called out to her and asked about Xiaomi.

An Ru paused for a moment, lowered her head quickly, and whispered that the way to survive was indeed cut off. The further she went, the less she could feel the flow of the earth's veins. The child was trapped. She searched all night to find it. Now he has

Get home safely.

She seemed not to want to say more, lowered her head and left in a hurry.

Seeing this, I sighed, held my stomach and walked out. I moved a stool at the door and sat down. I opened the tattered cotton jacket and found that the wound was basically invisible, except for a faint mark on the flesh.

Only then did I find that it was hard and there seemed to be a lump down there, making my waist weak, but it looked like it would recover in a short time.

I'm very curious about her strange skills.

Where did she learn these things? Could it be that it was also taught by her incompetent father? After knowing her story, I doubted this. Her father was not like what she told me at the beginning.

He is a doctor.

As I was thinking wildly, Anru had already come out and placed the roasted cornmeal nest in front of me. She poured a bowl of boiling water for me very carefully, and then she sat down opposite me and continued to eat with great interest.

Asking about things outside.

It was like she had amnesia, subconsciously forgetting all the unpleasantness and even... opposition between us!

I secretly speculated about her inner world, but I really couldn't figure out what she was thinking about.

"Brother Jingzhe, brother Jingzhe?!"

A burst of hurried shouting woke me up from my daze. An Ruzheng looked at me with a sweet look on his face and said dissatisfied: "I was asking you a question. Last time you said that there is something outside that can fly to the moon.

, what’s that called?”

I didn't answer, looked at her and said thank you.

The expression on An Ru's face froze for a moment, and then she lowered her head silently and muttered: "Is there anything I can thank you for?"

I have always kept my gratitude to her deep in my heart, but now this is the first time I say it so seriously.

It's just that she didn't mean to say anything about what had happened, but I couldn't just pretend to be deaf and dumb.

I was holding a corn nest in my hand. I saw her blushing and lowering her head to nibble on this thing, so I called her gently. She raised her head in confusion, and then I asked: "On weekdays,

, do you want to eat? If you don’t eat, will you be hungry? "

An Ru burst into laughter and asked me if I was stupid. Of course people will be hungry if they don't eat.

I nodded. Not far from the village, I did see a piece of reclaimed land with corn stubble in it. It seemed that she had always been farming. This situation made me a little confused. She is now

What kind of state is it in? Why is it really like a living person and still needs to eat?

I couldn't figure it out, so I just asked directly.

An Ru's eyes turned red and her head hung lower. She gritted her teeth and asked if she could finish the meal in peace first. She really liked the feeling of being with me. At least, I was the first one in her life.

A person who is willing to sit at the same table and eat with her. She likes this feeling very much. Why can't it be the same as before?

By the end of the sentence, she was crying, with a flash of scarlet in her eyes, a faint blackness on the surface of her skin, and her tone was almost pleading: "I haven't forgotten anything, I haven't forgotten it, I just want... I just want to

Feel this feeling again and stop asking, okay?"

This was the first time I saw her show her ghostly appearance, but I didn't feel any fear at all. I just felt an inexplicable soreness in my heart. I nodded silently, rubbed my stiff face, put on a bright smile, and continued to tell her about the outside world.

.

The black energy on An Ru's body dissipated, and she returned to her gentle look, smiling and listening carefully...

The meal passed like this.

After dinner, she and I sat side by side in front of the door, looking at the mountains in the distance in the thick fog.

"very nice."

An Ru's eyes were blurry, and she suddenly turned around and asked me: "Brother Jingzhe, can I rely on you?"

I didn't respond, I just pulled the small stool closer to her.

A bright smile bloomed on An Ru's face, she tilted her head and rested her head on my shoulder, and said as if she was dreaming, she was always lonely in the past, no one needed her, and no one wanted to talk to her, she was always so peaceful.

She looked quietly into the distance, as if only the sky and the distant mountains could support her helpless soul. At that time, she was thinking, how nice it would be if someone could accompany her like he is now.

"You said, it would be great if I didn't die, so that we could be together and accompany each other forever."

She murmured to herself, and my heart froze. I wanted to explain the difference between sympathy and perseverance, but after thinking about it, I finally didn't speak. Saying the word sympathy is a kind of hurt in itself, and maybe

This girl who has always been lonely, she can't tell the difference between friendship and love. She just wants to have someone to accompany her, but my heart is too complicated.

Fortunately, she did not continue talking about this. She changed the topic and said: "Unfortunately, I am still dead after all. Yin and Yang are separated. Even if I am right in front of you now, I feel so far away..."

Later, as if talking in her sleep, she finally told me what I wanted to know.

In fact, even she herself couldn't quite explain the entire transformation process.

She only knew that when she was killed, the stone was so cold that the sweat she had been struggling with was frozen, causing her face to stick to the stone. She heard the laughter of Ma Liuzhi and the brothers.

The more she struggled, the harder those people laughed. There were many big rocks there, but they only took one, which was not much bigger than a brick, and kept hitting her on the head. She actually didn't feel any pain.

I just heard the sound of cracking bones and became more and more frightened.

Then, she found herself floating up and leaving her body...

At that time, Ma Liuzhi took out a small knife and tried to cut off the corpse's head, but the knife was very blunt. When it hit the bones, it could not be cut. Several of his brothers tried to break the bones, but they could not.

After failing, and finally angry, they picked up a big stone together, smashed their heads into pieces, and then left.

It's hard to describe how it feels to watch your body being mutilated. An Ru was so frightened that she kept squatting next to the body and never left.

Later, she discovered that her body had not rotted, the wounds on her body had healed, and even her broken head had healed back together...

At that time, she suddenly felt a strong urge to get into her body.

This impulse grew day by day, and one day, she couldn't restrain it, and got in, as if it was an instinct, and then...she became like this.

As for why this corpse healed itself, I think it is probably impossible to explain it with modern science, and it can only be classified as an extraordinary person of the Ran tribe.

I think her current state is probably a different kind of resurrected corpse.

She is indeed dead. The three souls and seven souls are no longer called souls, but ghosts. As for the various extraordinary things, such as hunger, body temperature, etc., they can only be attributed to her body.

Regarding this, I can only lament that the world is full of wonders.

Later, I asked about the things in the Three Temples. What did Ma Liuzhi find inside?

"I'm not sure, but... I've been to that temple several times and heard some things."

An Ru said softly: "They said that there is a ruins under the temple with many books and a bed. Ma Liuzhi fell asleep on that bed. Some people say that it has integrated into the bed, and its

The power comes from that bed!!”

bed?

I immediately thought of something to nourish the soul, but Ma Liuzhi was integrated into that thing. This was not a characteristic of ordinary soul-nurturing objects. It was probably some novelty of the Ran tribe. After thinking about it, I asked

Said: "So, as long as we break that bed, Ma Liuzhi should be finished, right?"

"Is such that."

An Ru said: "However, Ma Liuzhi is with that bed day and night, and no one can get close to that bed. If we go there rashly, it will only be counterproductive. Now Ma Liuzhi has become a climate, and we can't fight it. We can only

Think of a way to lure him away, since we have reached this point anyway, we can only strike first!"

But An Ru had no idea how to guide Ma Liu away.

I fell into deep thought, thinking about everything An Ru said in my head. Gradually, a plan came into my mind. However, there were still many things to confirm whether it could be implemented smoothly. I didn't tell An Ru more.

It is said that when we killed the stubborn general, we did it very cleanly. The other party should not have reacted yet. We still have some time to slowly think about countermeasures...
