23, go home(2/2)
Xie Wen seems to be very sensitive to gaze.
When Zhou Xu was thinking this, he glanced this way.
For some reason, Zhou Xu subconsciously withdrew his gaze and sat upright.
It took him a few seconds to react, thinking, "Am I poisonous?" Why are you afraid of him?
The black python tightened its long body and imprisoned everyone in its territory, listening to those "people" struggling and letting out shrill and harsh screams.
When you hear it, raise your left hand, grab the threads and pull them straight.
Then he turned to the woman attached to Zhang Biling and said, "Go find someone."
The woman was stunned for a long time and suddenly let out a breath, as if she was making difficult mental preparations. After another moment, she nodded and said, "Okay."
The woman raised her feet and walked towards the python.
Her steps were not fast, and she was filled with reluctance, inability to let go, and inability to endure.
With every step they took, the bound "people" became more panicked. They resisted extremely and suddenly became crazy. Their struggling movements were so sudden that even the black python had to go around again to tie them up even more.
tight.
During the movement, the python crushed the door of a store in the back.
The metal scroll door creaked, deformed and fell to the ground under the heavy pressure, kicking up fog-like dust.
When Wen Shi looked over there, he didn't remember until he saw the vague silhouette of a model in the dust and mist. That was where he and Xie Wen first entered the cage.
The direction where those struggling faces gathered was right next door to the sportswear store.
He remembered that the shopkeeper next door was a middle-aged man, always holding a lunch box in his hand and muttering: "I can't get caught, I haven't eaten yet."
The woman was still walking that way, getting closer and closer to the giant python.
At that moment, the "people" trapped by the giant python began to fight to the death. They rushed, scratched, bit, and screamed...
Finally started crying.
Howling loudly.
The sound was so uncomfortable, mixed with many people, hoarse and old.
Then slowly, the other voices disappeared, leaving only a hoarse voice that continued to cry.
The people wrapped in the giant python have disappeared, and at the entrance of the crowded, dusty store, there is only a middle-aged man sitting curled up on a low horse, with his head buried in his knees.
All the "people" who had been guarding him, clearing obstacles, and shielding him were gone, and there was only him, exposed in front of everyone, intact and alone.
The woman stopped beside him, looked at him for a long time, and then squatted down.
She tried reaching out and patting him.
The man trembled violently and buried his head even lower, unwilling to look up.
It was only then that she seemed to have completely figured it out. She sighed softly, patted the man again, and shouted: "Old Song, look up."
"Are you going to be buried here for the rest of your life?" the woman said, "look at me."
She said slowly: "Look at me, you can wake up. It's so uncomfortable here. It's so dark, the lights are so dim, there's ashes everywhere in the store, and no one comes."
"It's long past time. It's time for you to pack up and close the shop and go home. Let me take a look at you and see that it's better for me to leave." The woman whispered, "I've been walking around here for many days and I'm too tired.
I can’t move anymore. I want to leave.”
The last few words finally made the man react.
He raised his head stiffly and slowly, his eyes red. He only glanced at the woman and then closed his eyes, as if he was enduring something.
After a long time, he finally couldn't bear it anymore and said with a thick nasal voice and choked up: "I'm waiting for you to eat."
He took out the lunch box from his coat and wanted to hand it out, but he didn't know who to hand it to. In the end, he could only put it on his knees and said: "It's hot and cold, and it's cold and you just won't come."
"Why don't you come." The man pursed his lips and choked silently for a long time, then slowly opened his eyes again, looked at the woman and said, "Why are you like this?"
The woman's eyes were also red. She blinked hard a few times and said, "It was just an accident."
After a long time, she added: "There's nothing to blame. It's raining too hard. I'm not careful."
With just one sentence, the man collapsed completely, holding her hand and crying again.
From the moment he received the death notice, he has been spinning in this cage.
He repeated what he had done that day, ordering goods, sealing boxes, keeping accounts, heating up meals at the right time, and then waiting for Yue Qin to collect the car.
He kept waiting and waiting...
When it got dark, when half of the shops on the second and third floors were closed, and when all the other shopkeepers had finished eating, even Mrs. Xu, who was usually the slowest, started eating, Yue Qin still didn't come.
On the contrary, there is another person, a strange woman, who comes to the third floor to look for someone at this point every day.
He didn't know the other person, didn't dare to look at the other person's face, and didn't want to meet him face to face.
Because he knew that if he saw it, he would never be able to eat this dinner again.
…
No one remembers how long Lao Song cried.
Time in the cage has always been like this. One second can last a long time, and a day can be completed in the blink of an eye.
As long as he cried, the woman stayed with him.
Finally, she stood up, got out of Zhang Biling, bowed and apologized to the confused opponent, then picked up the lunch box that was hot and cold, hot and cold again, and said to Lao Song: "Go and heat it up again, I'll accompany you."
You finish this meal."
Wenshi always waited by the side without urging them. He waited for them to finish their meal and then said goodbye properly.
At that moment, they had a clear appearance of a couple - they said sorry to everyone who was trapped, and then quietly let go of all the evil spirits in their bodies.
Because Zhang Biling was possessed, she was not feeling well and was not suitable for being released. So the task of resolving and dissolving still fell on Wen Shi.
When the cage was released, the few innocent ordinary people who entered the cage had already begun to feel sleepy.
They were sitting on the railings, their heads lowered, and their eyelids were twitching. Everything that happened in the cage became blurry the moment they closed their eyes, like a full-on dream.
Zhou Xu had a reluctant expression on his face, but his legs and feet were very active. He poured a cup of hot water for Zhang Biling who was resting.
Xia Qiao responded to Zhou Xu's questions in a perfunctory manner.
Xie Wen stood not far away, looking at Wen Shi with his eyes lowered, taking the black mist covering the couple's body into his body, and then slowly dispelling it.
Before the woman disappeared, he heard Wen Shi's cold voice say to her: "It rained heavily that day, thank you for your umbrella."
