Chapter 759 Uncle Xu’s Story

The girl struggled twice symbolically, then stopped resisting and allowed me to hold her hand and walk outside.

"We have to hide before the memory of the tenants in the Red Mansions awakens. The hiding place should not be too far away from the bronze mirror. It is best to hide on the top floor." I had a plan in mind, but it was extremely difficult to implement. I had no chance to do it again. , no mistakes can be made.

The girl didn't say anything when I roughly grabbed her wrist. It wasn't until she was about to walk out of the room that she softly shouted: "Jun Sheng, have you thought clearly?"

"Think clearly about what?" This girl is good at everything, but she worries too much.

"Once you leave this room, your life will be cut off. Don't do it for me..."

"Remember, I'm not doing this all for you." I looked directly into the girl's eyes and said tentatively: "You really don't remember anything?"

I'm not planning to reveal my identity, I just want to see the girl's reaction, and I don't know if I can stimulate her and revive her memory.

The girl obviously did not understand the meaning of my words. She no longer refuted, but the emotions in her eyes were very complicated.

I gripped my fingers tightly, fearing that she would suddenly shake me off. The warmth from my fingertips was not what it used to be, and the girl's body seemed to be slowly getting colder.

Glancing down, she saw that her wrists were very thin, as if they were freshly picked young bamboo shoots, and there was no change in appearance.

"It's strange. Could it be that the old grandma's breath in the world is constantly dissipating?" I became more and more anxious, and I didn't dare to slack off. I pushed open the wooden door without much thought.

"Bang!" I pushed the door with little force, but there seemed to be something at the door, and I happened to hit it this time.

"Who is outside?!" I was really surprised. After entering the residual soul of Junsheng, I lost my judgment and hearing. I couldn't predict the enemy's opportunities, let alone control the overall situation from a distance like before.

As a show host, I have long been used to this and calmed down quickly. But the girl stiffened and held my hand tightly.

After a few seconds, an ugly pig face squeezed out from the dark crack in the door.

This face is much larger than that of a normal domestic pig. The most chilling thing is that it is obviously a pig face, but it has an expression that only humans can have. It seems to be smiling.

"Where are you two going to run to?"

The voice is very familiar. I have seen this monster before. It calls itself Uncle Xu.

I was relieved to see it was this guy. Although the situation was not good, it was not the worst.

I once eavesdropped on the conversation between Uncle Xu and another pig at the door. Uncle Xu had a fairly friendly attitude towards Jun Sheng and the girl, and he always defended them.

"Fortunately, I met him. If someone else came here, I'm afraid it would be difficult to be kind." I muttered, raised my head, swept away my original cowardice and timidity, and looked at Uncle Xu naturally: "You guys I have already told her what she asked me to tell her. She is my best friend and I want to spend one night with her, that’s all.”

Uncle Xu's eyes wandered between me and the girl. He grabbed the door panel and suddenly sighed: "Don't do stupid things. Those people asked me to come and watch you. Besides, even if I let you leave, the other floors of the building will not be safe." There are also hungry wolves outside, you can’t escape.”

"They are not wolves, at least wolves will not eat the bodies of their companions." I had no intention of retreating. To give in here would be to waste the opportunity I had and ruin my own life.

"We are assigned to the same room, so we have to be responsible for everyone in this room. This girl is right. Each of us is food. Old man, I will be eaten one day. This is the price of living!" Uncle Xu's voice was very low. He didn't like talking in the corridor at night. As he spoke, most of his body had already squeezed into the room.

"What's the point of living like this when you become food?"

Uncle Xu blocked the door. He was tall and fat, and Jun Sheng couldn't beat him with his small body.

"You are wrong. Now we don't need you to live a meaningful life. We only want you to die meaningfully." He saw me holding the girl's wrist tightly, and the smile on his face was dry and full of helplessness: "No one wants this. , let me tell you a story."

At this moment, I had no time to listen to his story, and just as I was thinking about a solution, Uncle Xu's big hand had already reached out and pushed the girl and I into the room. In terms of strength alone, ten Junsheng together can't compare to each other. This body is really too weak.

"Once upon a time, there was a village built at the foot of the Snow Mountain. There was a legend in the village that if someone could conquer the snow mountain, he would be blessed by the mountain god and live for a hundred years."

"A brave man who came from afar heard this legend, prepared his mules and horses, stocked up on food, and tried to climb the mountain."

“The higher the altitude, the more severe the environment becomes, with heavy snowfalls and cliffs, making it difficult for mules and horses to climb up, and the food and water that people can carry are very limited. Even if you successfully reach the top, all the food will be consumed. If you don’t see If you reach the mountain god, you may starve to death on the way. The brave man tried many times but failed, and finally he returned to the village."

"The villagers were very excited when they heard the news that the brave man was back. Even the village chief ran to ask him if he had climbed to the top of the mountain? Did he see the mountain god?"

"The brave man thought about it for a long time. He told everyone in the village that he successfully conquered the snow mountain and received the blessing of the mountain god."

"Some people are envious, and some don't believe it. The brave man faces the doubts calmly and tells them that if they don't believe it, he is willing to take all the villagers to climb the mountain together, so that everyone can receive the blessing of the mountain god."

"The lifespan of a hundred years was very exciting, and some villagers agreed to accompany him."

"Everyone carried as much food as possible. They drove their mules and horses to the foot of the mountain, and then headed towards the snow-capped mountains with their bags on their backs."

"A brave man deserves to be a brave man. He was the first to lead the team and cut through the wind and snow like a sharp knife."

"Everyone believed the brave man's words and followed him with confidence. No one knew that the brave man had never climbed a snow mountain before."

"The wind and snow were raging, and some timid people left after climbing halfway. The remaining people saw the food getting less and less, and asked the brave men with uneasiness, how long it would take to reach the top of the snow-capped mountains?"

"A brave man's answer is always quick and will be there soon."

"His lies were not exposed, and the simple villagers chose to believe him and followed him until the first death appeared."

"Food is getting less and less. A weak old man was blown into an ice cave by strong winds. He slept forever in the snowy mountains. Death was so close before his eyes. It was a shock to all the villagers. Only the brave remained unmoved. He It seems that this has been anticipated.”

"He used his lifespan and his own experiences to fabricate lies to stabilize the villagers and move on."

"After a while, the food has been exhausted, and now no one dares to go down the mountain privately. Because there is no food, if you go down the mountain now, you will only starve to death on the road."

"They have no choice but to follow the brave man to find the legendary mountain god. They still have a glimmer of hope in their hearts, because the brave man told them that the mountain god does exist, and he has received the blessing of the mountain god."

"The dry food we carried was used up, and people died in various accidents every day in the snowstorm."

"The village chief and the brave men buried them simply, made tombstones, and prepared to take their bodies down the mountain after meeting the mountain god."

"The advancing team is getting shorter and shorter, but the top of the snowy peak piercing the sky is getting closer and closer."

"After overcoming all kinds of incredible hardships, only the brave man and the village chief survived to the end."

"They walked to the top of the snow-capped mountains side by side and accomplished something that had never been done before. They conquered the snow-capped mountains."

Xu Bo's story seems to be a metaphor for something. I can already predict that this seemingly fairy tale will have a big twist later on.

"Then what? Have they seen the mountain god?" The girl looked up at Uncle Xu. Facing such an ugly monster, she did not show any discomfort, as if this was normal.

"The brave man and the village chief climbed to the highest point of the snow mountain. Looking out, on the other side shrouded in wind and snow, there was a bottomless abyss." Uncle Xu's hand holding the door involuntarily began to exert force, and the door panel made a creaking sound. : "There is no mountain god in this world, it's just a legend. The desperate village chief fell to the ground. The food had been eaten long ago. He was so weak that he didn't even have the strength to argue with the brave man. He just asked the brave man - why do you want to Lying? Do you know that all of us were buried in the snowy mountains because of one of your lies?"

"The brave man didn't answer him immediately. He suddenly strangled his neck from behind, and then he lay in his ear and said - I have never been to the top of the mountain. I invite you to come together because only in this way can I leave room for myself. Next way out.”

I had already guessed the ending of the story, but the girl behind me didn't understand it yet. She opened her mouth and asked: "What's the way out?"

The smile on Uncle Xu's face disappeared, and he stared directly at the girl and me: "After the brave man killed the village chief, he had a full meal, and then returned the same way. Every dead villager became the brave man's ration. , those tombstones are the marks made by the brave man in advance. It is with the help of these villagers that the brave man can leave the snow mountain alive. In fact, from the beginning, he was ready to return immediately when the last person around him died. , for not until then will his rations be exhausted.”

"Such a person is not worthy of being called a brave man." I felt chills in my heart, as Uncle Xu's story seemed to be describing the current situation in Longchang.

They are trapped here, just like the villagers traveling on the snow-capped mountains. Everyone is a ration, and they become food when they die.

The blessing of the mountain god is like the lifting of the blockade after victory in the war. They have been waiting for it, but judging from the ending of Xu Bo's story, he himself knew in his heart that the mountain god did not exist, and the future was just a bottomless abyss...
