For some reason, Barnacle suddenly remembered what Dong Zongyuan had said to her.
He said that he always felt that there were eyes everywhere in the darkness, and every pair was fixed on him, and he saw that he had nowhere to hide, and he did not know how to get out.
But now, she had the same feeling, and though the forest was empty, she felt that behind the trunks and between the branches there were black holes, and they looked at her without blinking, and when she searched for them, they hid quickly, as if they did not want her to discover their true faces.
This feeling became stronger and stronger, filling her heart little by little, like a thick red flame, burning every pore of her to the point of bursting.
"Whoa."
There was a sudden sound behind him, and Barnacle stopped suddenly, turned his head to look at the dense shadows of the trees behind him, and roared softly, "Who is it?"
” No one responded to her, but she saw a row of footprints behind her, following closely and closely When did they catch up with her?
After coming out of the cemetery?
Or when you're away from home?
Or, when she killed the three members of the Wang family with her own hands, they followed her, and for the next few years, they have been there, like a shadow, but she never found out.
Thinking of this, Barnacle's heart felt as if she was being slammed by a hand, she glanced behind her again, suddenly quickened her pace, staggered and ran forward, her bare face and hands were scratched by dead branches, she didn't care, she just wanted to escape from this hellish place.
But those eyes did not spare her, and from time to time they flickered from branch to branch, and then quickly disappeared, and frightened her with terrification, and on several occasions, she almost fell to the snow with a weak leg.
The footsteps behind him did not disappear, "squirming", following closely behind, as if close to her, without a little spacing.
"Go, you all go, I killed you all for a reason, you all regarded me as an ant in your life, trampled under your feet, and now you are dead, what face do you have to haunt me?
I'm not afraid of you, I'm not afraid of you at all. ” Barnacle waved her hand back as she spoke, as if trying to drive away the invisible.
But although her mouth was hard, her heart was really afraid, her steps were a little trembling, and every step on the snow seemed to exert all her strength.
For some reason, the appearance of the baby suddenly appeared in her mind, it was not more than a foot long, and its small hands and feet were like flower bones that had not yet bloomed, waving at herself angrily.
It's not a place to live with itself, but who let it be their child, so even if it is killed, it deserves it, and it should be regarded as paying off the debt of its parents.
"Wow" Suddenly there was a cry over the woods, crisp and tender, but with deep despair, Barnacle stopped abruptly, held on to a large tree, and looked up at the dark sky overhead, and exhaled white air in a big gulp.
Her heart crumbled little by little, hard, stuck in her chest, and even her breathing became unsmooth.
Tears fell down her pale cheeks, wetting her neck, and she gasped sharply, and whispered to the unseen eyes above, "I don't want to, I don't want to kill you, but they have driven me to a dead end, I want them to taste the pain I have suffered, and let them know what it is like to have my liver and intestines broken." ” In the end, her tears suddenly stopped, her ten fingers were clenched into two fists, and the corners of her mouth were viciously raised, dispelling all the short-lived warmth and remorse in her heart.
She looked back behind her, looked at the footprints for a long time, and suddenly, burst into a piercing laugh, laughing so much that she burst into tears, and she couldn't stand up straightly for a long time "Barnacles, are you afraid of your own footprints now?
You're the only one in this forest, of course, only this set of footprints, how can you be so suspicious that this is not like you at all. ” After saying these words self-deprecatingly, Barnacle slowly straightened up, looked directly at the pink and jade world in front of her, picked up the package that had slipped on the ground again, and strode forward again, only this time, her steps were much steater and firmer.
But she only took a few steps in such a barely piled up posture, and then her feet were empty, and she fell straight into a large pit.
Like a drowning person, she flapped the snow around her in a panic, and when she stood up, she found that the pit was not deep, and her body had not been completely annihilated, but the snow had soaked her clothes, and the fabric became wet and hard, hanging on her body, driving away the last bit of warmth.
Barnacle cursed viciously, and was about to climb out of the pit edge, only to find that his package had also fallen into the snow.
She had to crouch down again, stretching out her hand to scrape through the thick snow, which contained all her belongings, on which she would live for the rest of her life, and she could never afford to lose.
However, the snow in the pit was very thick, and the barnacles felt freely in it for a long time, but they still could not find the small package.
Her heart became agitated, her brows became tighter and tighter, and she simply threw herself into the snow, her arms tugging wildly in it, hoping to find the package as quickly as possible.
After touching it like this for a long time, her hand finally touched a slippery thing, and Barnacle was overjoyed, and hurriedly pulled the thing, but after pulling it several times, the package seemed to be hooked, and it couldn't be pulled out.
Barnacle was in a hurry, and pulled the little burden outward with all his might.
She succeeded at last, and although she fell on her back in the pit, she held the package in her hand, and the package was still tight, and no silver leaked out of it.
She exhaled heavily, wrapped her bag on her back, and clinged to the edge of the pit with both hands, ready to roll over.
But as soon as one foot was cocked, the other foot, which was still in the pit, was caught by something It was frighteningly cold, and the chill penetrated through the upper of her shoe into the barnacle's body, freezing her shivering.
However, the cold on her body was secondary, and when she saw clearly the thing that grabbed her, she couldn't help but shudder, and she was half-hung on the wall of the pit, unable to move.
"Lady, why did you take away the Dong family's things?"
A familiar voice crept into the barnacle's ear.
