 Its daybreak.

The sunlight passed through the bead-like sap rain curtain, shone into the tree hole, and shone on Xia Changdian's face.

After four hours of full sleep, Xia Changdian slowly opened his eyes, blinked, his eyes gradually focused from blankness, and Qian Erbai, who was sitting across from him and was resting with his eyes closed, came into his eyes.

Qian Erbai is only wearing a thin shirt, the button is fastened to the first one, the neckline is high, the side fits the neck line perfectly, the top touches the Adam's apple lightly, the shoulder line is straight and straight, the fabric on the chest is slightly transparent, and the I-shape is faintly visible The inner lining and the full and firm chest muscles below. Days of exhaustion made his face paler, his eye sockets were slightly sunken, and his eyelashes were long and slender, projecting under his eyes, the shadows around his eyes appeared even thicker. His lips were extremely thin and pale in color, with only a gleam of blood hidden in the closed part. If his chest was not still rising and falling with his breathing, Xia Changdian would almost think that he had really become a vampire.

Xia Changdian softly knelt up and crawled towards Qian Erbai.

Qian Erbai may be really tired, or it may be that the light gave him a short-term sense of security. He just wanted to close his eyes to relieve the dryness of his eyes, but he just fell asleep like this. Even Xia Changdian woke up, And climbed to his side, he didn't even feel it.

Xia Changdian looked at his brother's tightly knit brows even in his sleep, and couldn't help but feel distressed. He gently touched the green stubble on Qian Erbai's chin, and then covered Qian Erbai with his coat. white body.

Qian Erbai woke up suddenly, two cold lights shot out from his blood-red eyes, and the dagger in his hand subconsciously clenched even tighter. After seeing clearly that the person in front of him was Xia Changdian, he immediately let go of his guard, smiled at Xia Changdian, hugged him into his arms, and said, "Morning."

Xia Changdian responded with a smile, "Morning, brother." He rested his chin on Qian Erbai's shoulder, and the two hugged quietly.

After a long while, Xia Changdian raised his head, rubbed his chin against Qian Erbai's face, "Shua, Shua, Shua!" Xia Changdian laughed, and said, "Do you want to tie it? Do you like my masculinity?"

Qian Erbai lowered his head and looked at him . Sniffing around his neck, he pushed him away pretending to be disgusted and said, "Manly smell? Does it smell like you haven't bathed for four days?"

Xia Changdian snorted and said, "How can there be four days, it's only two days!" He pulled off his clothes The leader smelled it, and muttered in a low voice, "It doesn't stink, how can it smell?"

Qian Erbai laughed, raised his hand and rubbed his head, stood up and said: "We should continue to set off, first go out and find some Something to eat." He put the dagger in the scabbard at his waist, put on his coat, and came to the entrance of the cave.

The tree hole was three or four meters above the ground, and the hole was narrow, allowing only two people to slide down the edge in a sitting or lying position. Qian Erbai climbed down first, followed by Xia Changdian.

Looking at the big reddish-brown tail dangling in the air, Qian Erbai couldn't help reaching out and pinching it. Xia Changdian was startled, and as soon as he let go of his hand, the whole person fell off and fell straight into the into Qian Erbai's arms.

"Brother, what are you doing!" Xia Changdian glared at Qian Erbai dissatisfiedly, the feeling of stepping on the ground made his heart skip a beat, the heartache and guilt he felt when he just woke up in the morning were all diluted by his brother's continuous pranks. He couldn't help sighing, and said: "Brother, you don't have to do this. I said I want to protect you. You can't always treat me like a child. It's agreed that one person will stay half the night. You love me, and I can't bear it." You are troubled alone." He looked at Qian Erbai, and said seriously, "Be sure to wake me up next time."

Qian Erbai's eyes were gentle, and he nodded with a smile, "It will be next time."

Xia Changdian choked and stared at him Brother's eyes, suspicious: "Brother, did you apply for some strange account behind my back?"

Qian Erbai didn't answer, and patted the sawdust on Xia Changdian's body.

There were two birdsongs from the treetops above his head, Qian Erbai looked up to find the location, then bent down to pick up two stones on the ground, and said, "Let's eat roasted pigeon today." He pushed Xia Changdian back, Then with a slight aim, two stones shot out like bullets, followed by two screams of "cuckoo", and two fat pigeons fell to the ground.

Xia Changdian was stunned.

Qian Erbai has always been an image of a kind and amiable old cadre on the outside. Although the recent escape life has refreshed his cognition time and time again, he only thinks that it is because of the crisis of life and death. Just like him, a good young man in the new era with young roots is driven to a desperate situation, and he doesn't even blink his eyes when he is electrified by demons and ghosts. But seeing the scene in front of him at this time, he was really shocked. He didn't expect his brother to have such an ability, flying stones and hitting birds. Could this be the legendary internal force?

He watched his brother calmly pick up the two birds on the ground, wring their necks cleanly, then carried them to the river, disemboweled them, plucked their hairs and skins, and couldn't help swallowing. I thought, his brother must have been a hero long ago. I don't know if he will have the opportunity to go to the world of ancient martial arts with his brother?

Qian Erbai cut some thin bamboo sticks, skewered the prepared pigeon meat on the sticks, and walked back to Xia Changdian. He was still holding a few round seeds in his hand. The dark brown seeds were hard and brittle. After being crushed, they gave off a spicy aroma, like black pepper in the real world, while the green ones had a garlic aroma. Roasted on the fire, the aroma becomes more intense. Smelling the fragrance, and looking at the plump and crispy pigeons licked by the tongue of fire, even waiting has become a kind of enjoyment.

The roasted meat with seasoning is a step up from the original roasted rabbit last night. Xia Changdian chewed the pigeon meat and sighed: "Brother, you are really amazing. You can make such delicious food under such simple conditions." Barbecue, bro, are you a god?"

Qian Erbai put the several seasonings he had collected into Lu Liuliu's small pocket, then smiled at Xia Changdian, and said, "Practice makes perfect, besides, high-end ingredients are often Only the simplest cooking method is required."

Xia Changdian: "..." You really applied for an account on a certain website behind my back. He couldn't help but think of his brother's words "I'll do it next time" just now, his heart tightened, and he told 741, "Remember to wake me up after the hour tonight. My brother is unreliable, I'm relying on you."

741 nodded heavily Respond, with a serious look.

After eating, the two walked deeper into the forest along the road explored by Lu Liuliu, and the scenery on the roadside gradually became magical. If the previous scenery was a dream described by Andersen to children, then what we see now is the grotesque reality that the Brothers Grimm tried their best to present to adults.

The further you go in, the deeper the main color of the forest becomes. The blades of grass are no longer soft, but have become jagged, flowing with a cold and hard luster like metal. The flowers were not as bright as usual, dull in color and rough in outline, like a faded oil painting. The trunks are dark, the branches are bare, and the fangs and claws look like ghosts frozen by the wind. They stretch out their withered arms, as if they are trying their best to prevent people from exploring further.

Qian Erbai and Xia Changdian looked at each other, took out their weapons at the same time, and stepped into the deep black and white world together.

The blades of grass under his feet were as sharp as knives. Xia Changdian accidentally rubbed against the edge of the blades, and a hole was cut at the bottom of his trousers. Fortunately, the trousers were loose and did not cut the skin. Qian Erbai told Xia Changdian to be careful, and then walked to the front to open the way, signaling Xia Changdian to follow behind him and follow in his footsteps.

He cut off a branch of a ghost tree and used it as a walking stick to cut, overwhelm, or push aside the weeds that got in his way. When the blade of grass grows on the plant, it can be blown and broken like a hacksaw, and when it is broken, it turns back into an ordinary leaf again, and there is not even a trace of existence under the feet.

After walking for nearly an hour, the field of vision suddenly disappeared, and the ghost forest that always blocked their way was suddenly interrupted, and a flat land appeared in front of the two of them.

The flat land is covered with dense and tall comfrey, and a red-roofed house is loosely hidden in it. When the wind blows, the black walls and windows of the house are faintly revealed.

With such a lonely little house suddenly appearing in such a dark forest, it is hard not to remind people of the lairs of demons in fairy tales. Although the house in front of me is not a Gothic-style castle, building it in such a weird place reveals evil in itself, and its image that is very inconsistent with the surrounding environment adds a bit of weirdness.

Lu Liuliu detected very strong life fluctuations coming from this small house, but Qian Erbai could not see any life activity, whether it was the pitch-black window, or the weeds in the front and back of the house that were almost as high as the house. signs.

At this time, two monsters came out from the woods behind the house, carrying two bags in their hands, they walked around the house one after the other, and came to the window.

One of them looked in from the window, then raised his hand and knocked on the window, while the other looked around vigilantly.

Qian Erbai hurriedly dragged Xia Changdian to hide behind the ghost tree.

Soon, the window opened inward, and a tentacle stretched out from the window, took over the pockets in their hands, then retracted quickly, and closed the window. The two monsters looked around again, then turned and left along the same path.

After the two monsters were completely gone, Qian Erbai and his two came out from behind the tree, got into the comfrey bushes, and quietly moved towards the small house.

Comfrey is somewhat similar to the purple bamboo in the real world. The stems are smooth and slender, and the leaves are soft and thornless. This provided great convenience for the two of Qian Erbai.

After walking through the purple bamboo forest and coming to the house, the two of them discovered that the small house was actually not small, and it was no different from normal houses except that there was no door.

The two squatted at the bottom of the wall, holding their breath and listening to the movement in the house. But I don't know if it's because the sound insulation effect of the wall is too good, or if there's really nothing behind the wall. After waiting for a long time, the two of them only heard a piece of silence, as if the tentacle that opened the window and received something just now was just theirs. illusion.

Qian Erbai thought for a while, asked Xia Changdian to prepare the electric shock device, then stood up and knocked on the window imitating the movements of the two monsters just now. Xia Changdian clenched the Peach Wood Sword 3.0 and stared nervously at the window.

"Tu Tut Tuk—" Seeing that there was no response from inside the room, Qian Erbai knocked again, this time with more force, it sounded like he was getting impatient.

A response finally came from inside the house, "Didn't you just deliver the meal, what are you going to do?" The voice was like a handful of seaweed entangled in the engine at the bottom of the boat, or it seemed to be turning two rusty gears forcibly. People feel sick all over.

Qian Erbai didn't speak, but stood with his head down.

The monster finally reached the window, opened the window, and stretched out a huge tentacle, saying: "What else, bring it?"

Xia Changdian suddenly poked the tip of the electric shocker on the tentacle, and it was miserable. The cry was accompanied by the sizzling sound of scorched flesh, and a tentacle immediately fell to the ground, and the monster wanted to cut off its own leg in order to escape.

Qian Erbai hastily inserted the dagger into the crack of the window to block the opponent's movement to close the window. Seeing that closing the window was not going to work, the monster resolutely gave up resistance and fled away.

Qian Erbai pushed open the window and climbed in by climbing on the window frame. The room was pitch black, and the outlines of a few human figures could be vaguely seen, but he couldn't hear any other heartbeat or breathing. At this time, Xia Changdian also crawled in. He turned on the bright flashlight, and the whole picture of the room was displayed in front of the two of them.

This is like an abandoned garment factory, and those human silhouettes are mannequins for displaying clothing.

There are three workbenches in the house, on which are piles of fabrics and thread balls of various colors, as well as some semi-finished clothes. Boxes and bags of buttons, pearls and other decorations were scattered in every corner of the room, all of which were covered with thick dust and lost their original luster.

Xia Changdian held up the lamp and looked around. Just now, the monster broke its leg in order to survive. There should be blood or other traces on the ground. Sure enough, among the countless messy swimming traces on the ground, there was one glistening with water, extending all the way to the grocery place by the wall covered by a white cloth.

The two walked over quietly, ready to fight at any time, Qian Erbai took off the white cloth, and the dust scattered in an instant. But there was no trace of the monster under the white cloth. What was covered by the white cloth were only rows of ready-made clothes.

Xia Changdian switched the lamp to his left hand, looking at these clothes that he didn't know when they were made, the more he looked at them, the more strange they became.

He touched the fabric of the clothes, only to feel rough and stiff under his hands, as if it had been coated with a thick layer of starch, without the soft and comfortable feeling of the fabric at all.

He lifted a piece of clothing and shook it, and the clothing was as light as paper, and even made a "squeaky" sound. Xia Changdian couldn't help shivering, quickly put down the clothes in his hand, retreated to his brother, and whispered: "Brother, these are clothes made of paper, right?"

Qian Erbai looked at the clothes of the same height Looking at the paper-like clothes again, he looked dignified. These are not only clothes made of paper, but also designs based on real human figures. He thought of the legend of the young python god with a human face and a snake body in Jiacha Town, and he felt that this abandoned factory and these clothes were inseparable from this legend.

Xia Changdian shuddered, and said, "Worshiping gods? Isn't it too disrespectful to make paper clothes for gods?" In his impression, paper clothes were burned for the dead.

Qian Erbai didn't speak, he saw that the last row of clothes hangers leaning against the wall was slightly skewed, so he walked over.

It turned out that the floor under one foot of the clothes hanger was not finished, and it was a bit higher than the other floors around it. And the clothes on this pair of hangers, including the hooks, are all connected to the crossbar, so they won't fall off no matter how they shake. A pulley was attached to the other foot of the hanger, embedded in a narrow slideway in the center of the floor below. Obviously, this is a secret agency.

Qian Erbai pulled the clothes hanger to slide along the slideway, and the other foot of the clothes hanger was connected to the floor below, and slowly lifted up with the push. At the end of the slideway, a secret passageway entrance with a square meter and a half appeared in front of the two of them.

With the help of the lamp, Qian Erbai and Xia Changdian found that kind of reflective transparent mucus on the ground near the passage entrance and on the inside of the floor. That monster escaped into this underground secret room.

Lu Liuliu felt stronger life fluctuations than what he felt outside. There should be more creatures hidden in the ground.

Qian Erbai looked at Xia Changdian, and then entered the passage first.
