Shen Shizhen

Now Ji Chuan is not afraid to keep running, but he is afraid that Yule will stop.

When Yuer stopped suddenly, Ji Chuan bumped straight into his back.

"What's the matter?" Ai Fan looked behind the three of them with the faint light of the fire in his hand. The sound of the explosion never stopped from the beginning to the end. Every sound made the whole passage tremble. A thin layer of dust.

Yule shook his head and said, "No, this way is wrong."

After Ji Chuan was picked up by Ai Fan from Yuer's back, he kept panting, his throat felt as if he was about to bleed, and he couldn't speak a word.

Ai Fan looked behind the three of them again, and the movement that had been faintly following them was getting closer and closer, which made people unconsciously feel a little nervous: "Where's Kirk?"

"It was broken as early as the first explosion." Yule said in a deep voice.

Ai Fan passed the oil lamp in his hand forward, and found that there was only one road in front of him. He was puzzled and said, "What's wrong, there is only one road."

Yule shook his head. He remembered that the road ahead should not be like this. He should turn left, but now there is only a road leading to a right turn. He is sure that he has not remembered wrongly.

Ji Chuan limp on Ai Fan's body and waited for a while before he could speak, his throat almost smoked: "You must have remembered wrongly, I said that you can't see anything, even if you can memorize maps, you shouldn't."

But there was a deep gully between Yuer's eyebrows. Hearing the movement behind the three of them getting closer, Ai Fan urged: "There is no other way, let's go first."

Yul didn't express his opinion, but he still followed the two and continued to walk forward.

It was fine if he didn't stop, but when Ji Chuan stopped, he felt as if his legs were filled with lead, he couldn't even lift them up, he couldn't even walk, let alone run.

Helpless, Ai Fan could only pick up Ji Chuan and throw it on his back, Ji Chuan waved his hands in fright: "You can't move your back."

But at the moment, Ji Chuan, who was limp, had no room for negotiation, and Ai Fan carried him on his back with a backhand: "It turns out that you are not willing to let you get up every morning and run with me in the morning."

As he said that, Ai Fan lifted his hands up and turned his Chuanchuan upside down: "You have lost a lot of weight recently, you are too light."

Ji Chuan sighed, put his arms around Ai Fan's neck obediently, and suddenly cheered up: "Okay! I'll eat meat when I go back!"

As soon as the words were finished, Ai Fan ran up, and Ji Chuan held the oil lamp in front of the two of them.

The visible range of the oil lamp is very limited, and you can barely see the road conditions four or five meters ahead.Fortunately, although this road is tortuous, it goes all the way to the end, with no side branches or choices.

Yule followed behind the two without saying a word, but those chaotic footsteps became more and more clear, and no one knew what was behind them.

Ji Chuan felt that he had rested on Ai Fan's back enough, and told Ai Fan that he wanted to come down for a run, but Ai Fan refused.

During the follow-up running, Ji Chuan mentioned it several times in a row but was dismissed. He was very annoyed: "I will definitely run with you every morning after I go back! Why don't you let me come down and do a warm-up first..."

Before Ji Chuan finished speaking, he found that Ai Fan had stopped, and he subconsciously asked, "Why did you stop suddenly..."

Yule came out from behind the two, frowned and said, "Is it a fork in the road?"

Ai Fan looked at the simple and rough T-junction in front of him, a little uncertain: "Where to go."

Yuer didn't answer his question right away. Ji Chuan slid off Ai Fan's back and shook the oil lamp in his hand: "You always know the general direction."

"This passage is very complicated. If it weren't for the explosion sound spreading from the biochemical chamber, I doubt that we would have turned and went back." This place was designed by Yule himself, and he knew it all too well, "As long as If a wrong intersection is chosen, the possibility of our going out will drop by 90.00%, and there is almost no possibility of turning back to the right road.”

"And I don't know what is following behind. If I choose the wrong way, I may run into it head-on." Ai Fan frowned, his voice was low.

For a while, the situation became stalemate. At this time, no one dared to open the mouth of the jar, and all silently stared at the branch in front of them.

But Ji Chuan heard the footsteps behind him getting closer, and he was anxious: "Are they catching up soon?"

"No." Yul affirmed, but he didn't explain why.

This determined posture makes Ji Chuan feel unbelievable, and feels that Yuer has the aura of the protagonist as if this is his home.

Sure enough, when even Ai Fan couldn't help looking back, the sound of those footsteps suddenly faded away.

Ji Chuan was resting against the wall, and he could hear clearly that those people were indeed getting closer to them, but they were on the other side of the wall, probably because of the twists and turns of the neighbor's passage that bent them all back again. .

When the sound of footsteps approached the closest, Ji Chuan immediately backed away from the wall behind him in fright, and this wrong step shook out the contents of his pocket, which hit the ground with a "ding dong".

Ai Fan was stunned and said, "Do you still have coins with you?"

Only then did Ji Chuan remember that there was such a thing, and while squatting on the ground with an oil lamp to look for "coins", he explained: "No, someone gave it to me, that is, when I fell asleep and dreamed in the cleaning staff's dormitory earlier. "

Yul looked at Ivan: "???"

Ai Fan looked at Ji Chuan: "???"

"I don't know what it is. Before I could see it, Yule knocked on the wall and put it in my pocket." Ji Chuan pouted and finally found it on the other side of the wall. it.

Unexpectedly, it was a small handicraft with meticulous workmanship. Ji Chuan put it under the oil lamp and looked at it. He could see that there were many complicated hollowed out patterns on it, and every line was detailed and smooth.

In general, Ji Chuan thinks this is a good little ornament, and he can hang a thread on the tofu later.

Seeing that Ji Chuan was squatting on the ground and unable to get up for a long time, the two of them moved over together, and they were startled after just one glance.

This is something that Ai Fan has only seen once: "Where are you from?"

"I've been looking for it for so many years but haven't found it..." Yule squinted.

Ji Chuan looked confused: "Ah? For Ai Fan, I think I may have seen your grandfather."

Evan: "???"

Yule: "???"

Ji Chuan nodded and nodded: "Really! When I was dreaming, did your grandfather have shoulder-length curly hair, dark brown like you, and he also looked like you, I didn't pay attention at the time, but now I see , you two are obviously a family."

Yule asked: "Does it look particularly young?"

"???" Ji Chuan felt that Yuer's question was a bit strange, "I don't know how old Grandpa Ivan is, anyway, it won't make people feel very old, but aren't all your foreign old men like this, no Show your age."

Yule nodded: "Then he should be right, he was already eighty when he died."

Ji Chuan: "!!!"

eighty? ? ?Ji Chuan originally thought that the old man should only be sixty if he counted all his time.

But Ji Chuan discovered the second question at random: "Ai Fan, why don't you speak? Those who don't know think this is Grandpa Yuer."

"I've never met my grandpa." Ai Fan said quietly.

Ji Chuan choked up: "I..."

"I have never seen my dad after his death, as long as there is a blood relationship, I have never seen their phantom." Ai Fan said.

Although Ji Chuan knew this from the beginning, but...

Yuer stuffed the things in Ji Chuan's hand to Ai Fan: "Okay, don't be embarrassed, let's find a way."

Ji Chuan didn't know, so he said, "This is... a coin toss to decide whether to turn left or right?"

"Now the pendulums are being used for other things, but their most primitive function has been forgotten." Yule shrugged.

Ai Fan understood, and carefully took out a plastic bag from the interlayer of his pocket, and he motioned to Ji Chuan to bring the lamp over.

Ji Chuan complied, but when he saw what was in the plastic bag, he was dumbfounded: "You actually carry it with you, but are you serious?"

"It was supposed to be like this. This is the family crest of our Benson family. It was originally kept by the eldest daughter Kesma, but I couldn't find it later for some reason." Ai Fan said as he pulled the thin white hair from Take it out of the plastic bag.

Yule stood aside and added: "Old Mo also asked me to look for it for a long time, but it has not been found."

Ji Chuan was flattered, and suddenly had the feeling of being recognized by the elders in his family. He felt that he and Ai Fan were two people who made a private decision for life, but in this way, he was stamped with the official seal?

In the gap between Ji Chuan's emotions, Ai Fan has already started to wear the family emblem with that white hair, and the thin strands of hair are pierced through the hollowed-out patterns and tied in knots.

"Is it really not going to break..." Ji Chuan looked at the hair floating on Ai Fan's fingertips and smacked his tongue, "How long has grandma kept this hair..."

Ai Fan is not sure about this kind of question, he gently put the family emblem on the ground, raised his hand to lift the family emblem from the ground slowly, until he stood upright, said: "That's the only way to go."

After finishing speaking, Ai Fan straightened his arms and hung the "spiritual pendulum" still in the air, chanting something plausibly, each sentence in a low tone.

It can be said to be a very standard spell, Ji Chuan thought.

Within a few words, the "spiritual pendulum" started to move, and swayed in the air by itself in this channel with extremely weak air convection, while Ji Chuan stared wide-eyed at one side.

But every time the hair drew an arc in the air, Ji Chuan's heart tightened, for fear that it would break and cut off the last way of life for the three of them.

After the "spiritual pendulum" swayed around for a few times, Ai Fan suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Turn left."

After finishing speaking, he didn't care about the two of them, and he took the first step like a demon.

Ji Chuan, who was following behind, couldn't help muttering to Yuer: "Is it reliable, that's all."

Yule glanced at him, and said with a kind smile, "Why don't you snatch it back from Ivan and let's toss a coin?"

"Fine." Ji Chuan wanted to clasp his index finger and thumb, and pulled a line along the corner of his mouth to make a gesture of shutting up.
