Chapter 19 Chapter Eighteen Bloodstains

"Why are you in a daze!" Someone slapped him on the shoulder, Rock suddenly woke up, turned around, and saw Yang Yang's small eyes. Rock was stunned for a moment, but remained silent: "It's nothing, go to sleep." Yang Yang looked out and closed the window suspiciously. The room was quiet again, and after Yang Yang closed the window and climbed to the upper bunk, he snored rhythmically.It's just that Shi Yan couldn't fall asleep. He lay on the bed tossing and turning, looking at the edge of the window sill from time to time, as if a face would appear there at any time... Until the middle of the night, Shi Yan finally fell asleep in a daze. When I opened my eyes, it was already bright.

"Hurry up, we're going to be late!" There were chaotic footsteps in the dormitory, and Yang Yang's yelling: "Rock, don't get up yet, we're going to be late!" Rock opened his eyes, and the faint voice appeared in his ears again, Heiwazhai, Li Yu, Heiwazhai, Li Yu... Yes, he must go back to his hometown to see his grandma immediately, it seems that there is no delay .Rock climbed up to pack his things, but it wasn't the textbooks needed for class, but his own clothes and a small box. Yang Yang was about to go out, but when he saw the rock's movement, his eyeballs almost fell to the ground, he hurriedly turned around and touched his forehead: "Are you stupid, we are not going on a trip to class, what are we doing with the suitcase?"

"Go home." Rock's movements didn't stop for a moment. Yang Yang was so shocked that he could stuff an egg into his mouth: "Go home? What kind of fanatic are you doing?" Rock got up: "I'm just worried about grandma, so I want to go home and have a look." Seeing that Shi Yan behaved normally, Yang Yang finally felt relieved. Maybe something happened at home, Yang Yang thought to himself... Shi Yan didn't want to go into details, and Yang Yang didn't ask any more questions. The mind full of questions is gone. Everyone left, and the bedroom suddenly fell silent.Rock looked at the boxes he had sorted out, and then turned his gaze out of the window.Because there was a heavy rain last night, everything was washed very clean, there was no one on the playground, and the basketball court was empty.Thinking of the girl in white in the rain last night, Rock suddenly shook his head, he was in a trance now, maybe it was just a momentary hallucination.

Carrying his own suitcase, Rock looked back again, then pushed open the door and went out.It was quiet inside and outside the room, because only the windows on both sides were ventilated, so the corridor seemed a little dark.When the rock got used to the light, he saw a person at the end of the corridor, wearing a light blue skirt, looking at him with a smile on his face. Rock was surprised: "It's you?" Dai Shanshan walked over slowly, her eyes fell on the suitcase in Yan's hand, the smile on her face froze, she asked in astonishment, "What are you doing?" Rock didn't bother to explain, but just prevaricated: "Grandma is getting old, I'm a little worried, so I want to go back and have a look."

He had never heard Yan Yan mention his family situation, but he only knew that he had an elderly grandma... Dai Shanshan was a little distracted and froze where she was.When Shi Yan and Dai Shanshan passed each other, she suddenly stopped her: "Hey, did you just leave?" Rock turned his head and said in a low voice, "Yi Ling will help take care of her for a few days first, she, she is really pitiful...I'll be back in two days, it's fine." After hearing this, Dai Shanshan's big eyes turned into small crescents, and she suddenly ran to the rock with a smile on her face: "Don't worry about Yiling's affairs, we are students and we can't visit the hospital every day, so I arranged for Aunt Xue to help her." Don’t worry, Dad has already paid part of the medical expenses, and the hospital won’t drive Yiling out in the near future.” This was good news for Yan Yan, and the gloom on his brow disappeared instantly, and he voted for Dai Shanshan a smile.

In the dark corridor, Rock's bright smile became the brightest sunshine. Dai Shanshan was suddenly agitated, and she grabbed Rock's arm: "I have another request, can I say it?" Rock was stunned, but Dai Shanshan smiled mischievously: "Don't panic, I'm not forcing you to marry me, I just want to go home with you to see grandma, you won't object?" Didn't expect Dai Shanshan to propose such a thing Asked, Rock froze in place, stared at her with his eyes open, and didn't come back to his senses for a long time. Dai Shanshan curled her mouth and said in a relaxed tone, "Actually, it's nothing. I'm afraid you'll be too lonely and boring along the way, so I want to go with you. Two people can take care of each other and pass the boring itinerary." .Besides, I didn’t know that school life was boring until I went to college. It’s so boring. I haven’t traveled for a long time. This time is just a chance.”

Before Dai Shanshan could finish speaking, Shi Yan's face darkened: "This is not for fun, I have other things to do, don't make trouble." Rock wanted to leave after saying this, but Dai Shanshan stood in front of him, angrily saying, "Am I your girlfriend? If so, you must take me back with you!" He only agreed under helpless circumstances, and now that Dai Shanshan was being aggressive again, he couldn't help but get a little angry, and suddenly pushed her aside: "Stop making trouble, I'm leaving." Dai Shanshan was unprepared, her body moved quickly. He fell backwards and hit the cold wall.

Clutching her sore elbow, tears rolled down Dai Shanshan's face, and wiping away the tears fiercely, Dai Shanshan squeezed out a sentence from between her teeth: "Okay, let's go, Yiling's I don't care about the matter, maybe when you come back, she will be gone..." Hearing this, Rock's body was slightly startled, turned around quickly, and stared at Dai Shanshan for a full minute. Yes, the prerequisite for treating Yiling is to be with Dai Shanshan. If Yiling is given off the medicine now, she may fall into a deep sleep forever, forever and ever... Thinking of the chills on the back of the rock, he thought again Looking at Yiling's indifferent but clear eyes, her frail body drifted across her line of sight, and even thought of her being thrown out of the hospital... Rock sighed helplessly, and he compromised again.

Holding the rock's hand, Dai Shanshan left with the rock, and the dark corridor returned to its proper calm. The sun finally slanted in and shined on the ground through the gaps between the leaves, like copper coins one by one... … During class time, the campus was very quiet, and the two walked slowly outside the school gate. Teacher Xie's suspicious gaze appeared in Rock's mind.Yes, recently he keeps asking for leave, and the head teacher has become suspicious of him.But Dai Shanshan didn't care, she just went back to the dormitory and simply packed her belongings, and then called the teacher to ask for leave.When Dai Shanshan's college entrance examination results were very poor, Dai Shengcai sponsored a lot of infrastructure and expenses in order to let her daughter enter this school.Facing the daughter of the God of Wealth, the teacher was always respectful. When Dai Shanshan asked for leave, the teacher agreed without even asking a reason.

After tidying up her things, Dai Shanshan's eyes fell on Bai Xue's bed. There was nothing on it except a piece of wood. Thinking of Bai Xue's appearance before she was alive, she felt a little uncomfortable.Looking down, I saw Yiling's bed. Dai Shanshan walked over in a strange way, bent down, and touched those floral dresses. Her hand continued to explore, and she touched a hard object with teeth. Dai Shanshan pulled it out. Looking carefully under the sun, it was a very special red comb with strange patterns engraved on the comb handle, which seemed to be similar to the one on Yiling's hairpin.Dai Shanshan put the comb in her hand and looked left and right. She didn't know why she put Yiling's comb in her backpack, quickly zipped it up and ran out of bedroom 404.

Today's sunshine is so good, it seems that there are only two people left in the world, that is, she and the rock.Dai Shanshan was in a very good mood, she was even as happy as a bird, and the blush on her face flew to her cheeks.However, Rock's attitude was exactly the opposite of Dai Shanshan's. His eyes became deeper and deeper, and he didn't say a word from the beginning to the end. It's not a holiday or a weekend, so it's easy to buy tickets. Dai Shanshan has arranged all the fares, even a soft sleeper.When the driving time came, the train sped away, and the heart of the rock flew back to the ancient stockade. In the afternoon of the second day, when the sun set on the horizon, Rock and Dai Shanshan finally returned to Heiwazhai. This is a small village surrounded by mountains. Most of the houses are built of wood and stone. People here still follow the working habits of hundreds of years. They go up the mountain to hunt wild animals, develop fertile land to cultivate food, and weave baskets in their spare time. Take it to the town and sell it... As the sun set, its extraordinarily strong light shot out from the tops of the trees, dyeing the white clouds and the green hills in blood.Dai Shanshan was standing by the village, with surprise and surprise on her face, the fatigue of the journey was gone, replaced by infinite joy, she almost jumped up, shouting: " Rock, it’s so beautiful here, I like it so much!” Seeing that the sky was about to get dark, Shi Yan urged Dai Shanshan to leave quickly.They didn't meet a single pedestrian along the way. Owls honked in the dark, and unknown bugs in the grass beside them made noises. Dai Shanshan, who was still in high spirits just now, suddenly felt a little frightened. She walked towards the rock. Lean on, and asked nervously: "Here, why is there no one here?" The rock didn't speak, but only knew to walk forward.Dai Shanshan didn't dare to ask any more questions, she trotted all the way to follow the rock, lest she would be left behind.I don't know what's going on, but Dai Shanshan always feels that something is wrong behind her, as if her eyes are following her like a shadow, and she can't get rid of her.This made her very nervous, and she turned her head suddenly inadvertently, and she saw a pair of eyes, the shiny eyes shining in the darkness. "Ghost, ghost!" Dai Shanshan jumped onto the rock and shouted in fear. Turning his head, the rock froze.This is the goddess in the village. No one knows her real age. Although she looks very old, her eyes have always been so bright. They were so bright when she was young. Now nearly 20 years have passed, and they still haven't changed.Maybe it's because of her age, or maybe it's because of her mystery. The Goddess has always been the ruler of the village. If there is a funeral or happy event in any family, she must be the guest of honor. "God's mother." Rock walked forward and gently held those withered hands. How come there is such a weird name?Dai Shanshan froze in place for a moment, she felt that the old lady's eyes were a little scary, so she hesitated and didn't dare to go forward. Godmother's bright eyes glanced at Dai Shanshan and then landed on the rock: "Stone, you are back." Dai Shanshan felt a little uncomfortable seeing others treat herself as an invisible person. Rock nodded: "Mother God, why are you here? How is my grandma?" Thinking of grandma, Rock was already very anxious. Godmother pulled out her withered hand from the palm of the rock, and walked staggeringly forward, muttering: "Go home, go home..." Rock was stunned, watching God mother go away for a while I just came back to my senses. This is the place where I live, the wooden house is blackened by smoke, several fences are broken, and some flowers and plants are planted in the yard, but when autumn comes, most of them have withered.On the windowsill, Rock sees a pair of bright eyes, are those grandma's black cats?At this moment, a "meow" was heard suddenly, and a black shadow slowly walked over, and it got right into the embrace of the rock. The black cat is old, but its eyes are still so bright... The rock strokes the soft hair, with mixed feelings in his heart. "Squeak!" The door suddenly opened, and the rock looked up, and an old man stood at the door, with her hands on the threshold, her eyes looking at the courtyard, and she yelled desolately: "Is it a stone, is it me?" Is the stone back?" Rock was moved, he put down the black cat and ran quickly, and shouted in a trembling voice: "Grandma!" After a cry, Rock's grandmother stretched out her hand and touched Rock's face: "My stone, really my stone is back... " Dai Shanshan was a little displeased to be treated as an invisible person again.Bored, she squatted down to play with the black cat, which was exactly the same as the black cat raised by her mother. Thinking of the black cat that died tragically, Dai Shanshan had a strange expression on her face.But when she stood up, she suddenly felt a tingling pain on her arm. She lowered her head and saw a few cat paw prints on her white arm.Waves of severe pain hit, and Dai Shanshan couldn't help crying out. At this moment, Yan Yan's grandma finally noticed Dai Shanshan. She looked at the wound on Dai Shanshan's arm and didn't make a fuss. Instead, she grabbed a handful of grass and rolled it into a ball to cover the broken skin.Seeing a large piece of dark green stain on her arm, Dai Shanshan frowned, but Shi Yan said beside her, "This is an earthen prescription from the village. It is very effective in treating wounds, and it can also be disinfected. Don't worry, it will be gone in a while." never mind." Dai Shanshan pouted, but was warned by the rock: "The black cat is afraid of life, you must not provoke it." Hearing this, Dai Shanshan stomped her feet angrily, thinking to herself, what the hell is this place! The three of them entered the house, the kerosene lamp was lit, and there was more light in the room. Yan Yan wondered: "Grandma, is the power outage again?" The old lady nodded, and her old voice said slowly: "Stone, you are hungry, I will cook for you." "Grandma, I'm not hungry!" Rock hurriedly stopped.But the old lady was already busy, lit the fire, boiled water, and cooked. After about half an hour, she finally fried two plates of dark things.Dai Shanshan frowned when she saw it, but she ate the rock with relish. She also said that it is a special thing in the deep mountains. Although it looks ugly, it tastes good. Despite this, Dai Shanshan still didn't take a bite of food, she took out mineral water and bread from her backpack and started to eat.The rock didn't stop her, and the old lady didn't even care. This made Dai Shanshan feel a fire in her heart, and a strong sense of loss ran out of her heart, but there was nowhere to vent it. It was late at night, and the wind was blowing outside the window, so strong that the windows even trembled.Dai Shanshan was so sleepy a long time ago, she said she was going to sleep, the old lady took her to another room, and pointed to it: "Go to sleep." Dai Shanshan walked in slowly, this room may not have been in the room for a long time. Cleaned up, musty and damp everywhere.The facilities in the room are also very simple, there is only a bed, a cabinet, and a simple desk, nothing else. Feeling that the air in the house was really bad, Dai Shanshan got up and opened the window to breathe. A fresh feeling came over her face. She couldn't help yawning and fell asleep on the bed. Under the kerosene lamp, Yan Yan and grandma looked at each other, and their expressions were a little strange.Especially grandma, her eyes were full of searching: Why did you come back suddenly? Yan Yan saw that grandma's head was full of white hair, she seemed to be getting older, and her back was also hunchbacked. She almost had to bend over to walk, almost at a 90-degree angle.A burst of guilt welled up in Yan Yan's heart, and tears almost burst out of his eyes... Gathering his thoughts, Yan Yan quietly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said hurriedly in his voice, "Grandma, are you okay? I was worried about you, so I was in a hurry to come back gone." Hearing what the grandson said, doubts flashed in the old man's eyes, and her voice trembled slightly: "What happened?" Rock lowered his head, and replied after a long while: "I met someone over there, and I heard her keep mentioning Heiwazhai and your name... Later, the more I thought about it, the more worried I became, so I hurried back to look at it. Seeing you, I am relieved to see that you are all right now."
