001.
Chen Ran grabbed Guo Dong's hand that was stroking his head.
"What's wrong?" Guo Dong asked, "Is it still hurting?"
As he said that, Guodong went to rub Chen Ran's head again, and it didn't hurt anymore.
"It doesn't hurt." Chen Ran said.
Guo Dong's shallow brows frowned again, Chen Ran was lying, Chen Ran was still in pain, his eyes said so, his eyebrows said so, and his aura said so too.
Guo Dong wanted to say something, but Chen Ran had already got up from the ground.
Chen Ran turned his head under the moonlight, and quietly looked at the shrine at his feet for a moment. The shrine was like a small home. Although the "roof" of the home had been tilted to one side, it still made people feel very warm.
Chen Ran imagined the scene of the little Guodong sitting inside shaking his feet, and the corners of his mouth could not help but tighten.
"Go back." Chen Ran said.
Guo Dong was dragged by Chen Ran to float towards the temple. While floating Guo Dong, he looked at Chen Ran's back suspiciously. Chen Ran was obviously better just now, why did he suddenly feel so badly in pain now?
"Are you going to stay here?" Guo Dong asked.
"What?" Chen Ran was puzzled.
"In the town." Guodong floated forward a little to be side by side with Chen Ran, he didn't break free from Chen Ran's hand holding him, he liked it like this.
People in the town couldn't see him, so no one ever talked to him. Chen Ran was the first one, and Chen Ran was also the first one to hold his hand while walking.
"If you also live in the town, then I can bless you in the future." Guodong couldn't help but fart when he thought of the town, "The people in the town are wonderful, and they will definitely welcome you. "
Chen Ran didn't answer, he just led Guodong towards the temple.
In the night, when the two returned to the temple, they had already woken up. He was adding firewood to the fire, and it was cold in the mountains at night.
Gao Jin raised his eyes and saw Chen Ran and Guo Dong coming back together, he quickly lowered his head and continued to tinker with the fire.
When the fire was turned on again, the temperature in the temple rose, and when it was close, it lay back on the ground again.
Chen Ran returned to his previous position, holding the knife in his arms and closing his eyes.
The night is deep.
Guodong looked at Gao Jin and then at Chen Ran. He floated quietly, wanting to watch them fall asleep.
The water vapor on the mountain is heavy, especially in winter, the mountains are covered with white mist in the morning, and the leaves on the ground are even covered with hoarfrost, like a dream.
Later, when the sun rose, the hoarfrost disappeared, followed by the mist in the mountains.
In the middle of the morning, an unexpected guest was ushered in on the mountain, and he temporarily stayed at the Jiyue of Qian's house.With a light-colored, near-white robe and well-groomed long hair, the sacrifice to the moon is as elegant as a gentleman.
Seeing the man appearing in front of the temple, the three of Chen Ran in the temple all frowned.
"What are you doing here?" Chen Ran looked at Jiyue warily.
Guodong was not there, his whereabouts were erratic, he was in the town for a while, and in the mountains for a while, Chen Ran didn't know where he went in the blink of an eye just now.
Jiyue didn't answer Chen Ran's question right away. He looked around the temple in front of him, and then his eyes fell on the three of Chen Ran, "If you can come, I can't come?"
Chen Ran said nothing, this is indeed not their territory.
Jiyue laughed, "Don't be so nervous, I just came to see it. People in the town say that there is a very effective god in this mountain."
Said, Jiyue slowly approached the temple.
Coming to the front of the temple, Jiyue looked at the temple again.
Probably because he didn't see Guodong, so he spoke casually, "This temple is too shabby."
Chen Ran immediately recalled the smug expression on Guo Dong's face when he brought them to see, "It's none of your business whether you're poor or not?"
Although they also felt that the ruined temple was really shabby, Guodong liked it, and if Guodong liked it, that was enough.
Jiyue was stunned for a while, he smiled wryly and looked at Chen Ran, "Why are you always full of hostility towards me?"
Chen Ran remained silent, and there was only a chill in his cold eyes.
Jiyue knew that Chen Ran would not explain, and he ignored Chen Ran. When he came to the temple, he folded his hands and closed his eyes to worship, as if he really came to worship the gods on the mountain.
Seeing that Jiyue finished worshiping the gods, Chen Ran opened his mouth to drive away people without waiting for Jiyue to speak again, "After worshiping, you can go."
"Let's go right away." Jiyue nodded with a good temper.
While speaking, he turned his head again and looked around.
This time, he stopped quickly.
Chen Ran looked in the direction Jiyue was looking at, and soon at the end of his line of sight, he saw a big fat butterfly happily floating towards them. What the hell.
Sensing the line of sight, Guodong looked up.
"It's you!" The smile on Guodong's face froze the moment he saw Jiyue.
Guodong was like a furious cat, the hairs all over his body stood on end. He bared his teeth fiercely and rushed in front of Chen Ran and the others, and then guarded them in front of Chen Ran and the others.
Faced with this, after Jiyue's brief surprise, his eyes that had always been smiling were less smiling and more cold. He glanced at Chen behind Guodong through Guodong. Of course.
Chen Ran stared back unceremoniously, he was already full of anger, if possible, he really wanted to find someone to fight hard.
Jiyue was not angered, but he quickly returned to his previous gentle appearance, he laughed, "It seems that you have already gained his trust."
Chen Ran frowned, and so did Lan Haoyi and Gao Jin. Hearing Jiyue's words made people feel uncomfortable. What does it mean that they have already gained Guodong's trust?It's as if they want to do something to Guodong.
"No wonder you don't like me." Jiyue smiled and shook his head, Chen Ran and the three of them seemed to be taking care of the cubs, but no matter how fierce Chen Ran and the others barked, they just didn't grow any teeth Qi's cub.
"Let me take my leave." Jiyue gave a slight salute to Chen Ran and the others, then turned and walked down the mountain.
Before walking out of the earth dam in front of the temple, he paused for a moment and looked towards the back of the mountainside.
His actions made Guodong more and more fierce, and Guodong immediately moved to the side to block Jiyue's sight, because that was where Guodong's shrine was.
Faced with this, Chen Ran raised his forehead, didn't Guodong's block confirm Jiyue's guess?However, Chen Ran's thought was fleeting, even if Guodong didn't stop him, Jiyue must have noticed it, otherwise he wouldn't have looked over there.
Seeing Guodong like that, Jiyue smiled, saluted again, and then went down the mountain.
Looking at the back of Jiyue going away, the faces of Chen Ran and the three people in the temple were extremely ugly.
"What on earth is he here for?" Lan Haoyi asked.
"Is there anything behind the mountain?" Gao Jin looked at Guodong.
"There is Guodong's shrine over there. There is a stone in the shrine where Guodong first woke up. It may be Guodong's god statue." Chen Ran said.
Jinjin was surprised, and so was Lan Haoyi, they thought the temple in Guodong was where they lived.
"Don't tell others." Guodong said fiercely, the shrine was very important to him.
"I'll just tell them." Chen Ran said.
Guodong looked at Lan Haoyi and Jiajin, and put away the blown hair.
Being trusted, Lan Haoyi and Gao Jin glanced at each other, both of them couldn't help laughing, but under the smile, there was bitterness in their eyes.
They had only known Guodong for a few days, and Guodong told them everything foolishly, if they were really bad guys...
Could Jiyue deceive Guodong in this way?
Thinking about this possibility, when Lan Haoyi and Gao Jin looked at Guodong again, their old father's worries were deeply in their eyes.
"Stay away from that guy, that guy is not a good person." Chen Ran obviously also thought of this possibility, he seemed to have seen the scene where Guodong was tricked into selling and happily helping count the money.
"I know, I'm not an idiot." Guodong turned his head to look in the direction of Jiyue going down the mountain. He didn't like Jiyue very much, "He stinks and is disgusting."
"Smelly?" Chen Ran was stunned for a moment, and then his face darkened. There is only one kind of person who makes Guodong feel stinky and disgusting.
Guodong is still fine now, it must not be Guodong, so Jiyue has eaten the flesh and blood of other gods?
Thinking of this possibility, Chen Ran's hand holding the knife became stronger.
Lan Haoyi and Gao Jin had already understood it, and when they looked in the direction of Jiyue, their faces became a bit more dignified, Guodong's matter was definitely related to Jiyue.
and……
Lan Haoyi and Gao Jin looked at Guodong again, frowning more and more tightly.
Guodong is a god, although because he doesn’t have many contacts and he was born out of goodwill, he can easily trust people, but Guodong is not stupid, and Guodong can feel that there is something wrong with Jiyue. The question is, then it is impossible for him to believe in Jiyue, so what happened next?
Chen Ran looked at Guodong and told him, "Follow me for the next few days, don't stay too far away from me."
"Okay." Guodong nodded obediently.
Lan Haoyi and Gao Jin were stunned for a while, and then they were stunned again, and when they looked at Guodong and Chen Ran, they were all surprised. Chen Ran and Guodong were still arguing before, why did they reconcile in just one night?
Chen Ran was also stunned, he didn't expect Guo Dong to be so obedient.
"Why?" Guodong looked at Chen Ran with disgust, "Didn't you tell me to follow you?"
Chen Ran himself asked him to follow him, but Chen Ran was not happy when he agreed.
"Idiot." Chen Ran left the temple and walked down the mountain. Jiyue would definitely not let it go.
"Damn it!" Guodong, who was scolded without knowing why, immediately turned back fiercely, and no one was allowed to insult him, not even Chen Ran.
Chen Ran ignored it, and just silently added "idiot" in his heart.
Guodong seemed to notice something, frowning and staring fiercely at Chen Ran's back, Chen Ran must have secretly scolded him in his heart just now.
Guodong was thinking about whether to go back fiercely, when there was a sudden sharp pain in his heart, "Uh--"
The pain came so suddenly and so intensely that Guodong's face turned pale instantly, and his body convulsed uncontrollably and curled up into a ball.
002.
"Guodong?!" Lan Haoyi was sizing up Guodong, but when he saw Guodong suddenly groaned and shrank into a ball, he immediately exclaimed, and he immediately went towards Guodong.
Chen Ran, who had already walked a long way, turned his head and saw Guo Dong huddled into a ball, he immediately ran back without saying a word, "Guo Dong?"
Jiajin has also come to Guodong's side.
"What's wrong with you?" Chen Ran asked.
Chen Ran tried to touch Guodong, and after confirming that he could touch Guodong, he quickly took Guodong to the temple beside him.
Put Guodong in the temple, seeing Guodong's painful face turned pale, Chen Ran's face also turned pale.
"Could it be something happened to his shrine—" Gao Jin guessed, before he finished speaking, Chen Ran rushed out with a knife.
"Could it be that guy just now?" Lan Haoyi squatted down on the other side of Guodong.
Guodong hadn't recovered from the pain yet, he closed his eyes tightly, his eyelashes were trembling constantly, and his body trembled together.
"Guo Dong?"
The pain came and went quickly.
After a while, Guodong's tense body slowly relaxed a little, and then he relaxed as if he lost all strength.He slowly opened his eyes, his black and white pupils turned slightly, looking in the direction of the town.
"Are you okay?" Gao Jin immediately asked.
Guodong shook his head, then shook his head again, "It's okay."
Guodong lowered his head and touched his heart blankly. It hurt so badly just now, as if he was about to die.
"Really okay?"
"It's okay." Guodong touched his chest again, the pain there was no longer there.
"Is it because of the shrine?" Lan Haoyi asked.
"Sacred shrine?" Guodong's black and white eyes were blank, and he was in a trance for a moment, then Guodong shook his head again, "It's okay, it just hurts."
While speaking, Guodong stood up floating, and with his movements, his robes also floated up, but probably he hadn't fully recovered from the pain, Guodong seemed a little listless.
Guodong looked down at his chest that was still in pain just now, looked around the temple, but did not see Chen Ran, he was puzzled, "Where is Chen Ran?"
"You scared him just now, we thought it was Jiyue who moved your shrine, so he ran over to have a look." Gao Jin explained.
Probably really scared, Chen Ran's speed is very fast, he ran back and forth in less than 10 minutes for a one-way journey of more than ten minutes.
Back at the temple, seeing Guodong floating foolishly while touching his chest, Chen Ran heaved a sigh of relief, and then took a breath.
Although his physical strength is good, he is not good enough to run at full speed in the mountains for 10 minutes without panting.
"How is it?" Gao looked over.
Chen Ran shook his head, "That guy isn't there, the shrine is fine."
Lan Haoyi and Gao Jin breathed a sigh of relief, they had a certain understanding of ghosts, but they knew very little about gods, strictly speaking, Guodong was the first god they had ever seen.They didn't meet the little mountain god before, they just heard about it from Yang Qi.
"What's going on?" Chen Ran regained his strength and looked at Guodong.
Guo Dong put down the hand that had been touching his chest, he was more dazed than Chen Ran, his expression seemed to be wondering if he had eaten something strange before, which was why he suddenly felt heartache.
"Are you an idiot?" Chen Ran couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief while cursing, seeing Guodong shrinking into a ball in pain, his heart seemed to be ripped out of his chest.
"You are the fool!" Guodong angrily floated towards his shrine, he didn't want to talk to Chen Ran anymore.
"The shrine is fine, so why would he..." Gao Jin looked in the direction Guodong left.
Chen Ran and Lan Haoyi didn't answer the conversation, they just frowned and remained silent. This is already their fourth day in this dungeon.
"I'll go down the mountain to have a look." Chen Ran walked down the mountain with a knife, knowing that the time was approaching, he really couldn't help but sit on the mountain and wait.
"Let's go too." Lan Haoyi said.
Chen Ran opened his mouth and wanted to refuse, Lan Haoyi preempted him and said: "Don't forget that this is a dungeon, and don't forget that there should be a Guodong in this dungeon."
After a pause, Lan Haoyi said again: "We must find that mural as soon as possible, otherwise how can we get out? Or do you want to stay in this dungeon and die with a piece of history and memory..."
Lan Haoyi didn't want to make things too harsh, but he felt that Chen Ran was already in charge, so he was afraid that if he didn't remind Chen Ran, he would forget that this place was just a piece of history and a memory, everything had already happened, and they couldn't change anything.
Chen Ran has indeed forgotten, at least at the moment when he saw Guodong's heartache, he didn't think at all that this place is just a piece of history and a memory.
Chen Ran took a deep breath and tried to get himself out of that emotion, but all his efforts were in vain, and he couldn't stay out of it.
"We split into two groups. You go and watch Jiyue, and we'll look around the town to see if we can find another Guodong or information about the murals..." Jia Jin sighed.
Chen Ran didn't say a word, and walked down the mountain silently.
Seeing Chen Ran like that, Gao Jin pursed his lips and smiled wryly, as did Lan Haoyi beside him.
"It's already the fourth day. If Guodong could come in, this dungeon must have already come in." Tell me, if Guodong can't enter this dungeon, then they probably really can't get out, and they will be trapped in this dungeon forever inside.
"Or..." Lan Haoyi looked towards the direction where Guodong left in this world.
Looking closer, his lips moved, but he didn't know what to say.
If Guodong is really in Xiao Guodong's body, just sleeping and unable to wake up, then they should be happy, because then they can go out, and Guodong can take them out.
But if this is really the case, wouldn't Guodong be letting Guodong go through those things in the past again?One time is not enough, let him go through it again?
"Don't think about it, look for it first, maybe Guodong is in the town." Lan Haoyi clenched his crutches and walked down the mountain.
The three of them went down the mountain and acted separately, Chen Ran still followed Jiyue, while Lan Haoyi and Gao Jin searched the whole town.
As the sun went down, when the three of them met again next to the land of Wang Dagui's family at the foot of the mountain, their expressions were all bad.
During the silence, just looking at each other's faces, the three of them guessed that it must be another day of nothing.
No one spoke, and the three of them walked up the mountain in silence.
When they went up the mountain, the sky had completely darkened, and the temple was completely dark.
"Guodong?" Chen Ran called, but no one answered in the darkness, only silence remained.
"Where did that guy go?" Under the night, Chen Ran muttered.
Back at the temple, the three of them were not idle. They quickly went to the woods to gather some firewood while they could still see something vaguely, and lit a bonfire in the temple.
After lighting the fire, the three of them roasted some vegetables that had wilted in the corners, devoured their fill, and lay down early.
Under the firelight, Gao Jin guessed Guodong's situation, he always felt strange, there was no reason why the three of them could come in, and Guodong couldn't come in, and what Guodong said before about flesh and blood also made him uneasy.
Hearing the approaching guess, Chen Ran, who was leaning against the corner with the knife in his arms, couldn't stay still. He got up and walked out of the temple.
Gao Jin and Lan Haoyi noticed it and looked over immediately.
"I'll go see that idiot." Chen Ran left without looking back.
He hadn't seen Guodong since the morning. They went down the mountain during the day, but they came back after dark at night. If it was normal, Guodong would have appeared out of nowhere, but he didn't show up all night.
Coupled with what happened in the morning, Chen Ran was inexplicably uneasy.
Unlike the previous moonlight that covered the entire mountain forest, today's night is extremely dark, and Chen Ran can hardly see the situation under his feet when walking on the road.
The temperature tonight is also extremely low, and the chill full of water vapor is chilling, and the cold feeling seeps into the body from the limbs, and it seems that even the blood can freeze.
Chen Ran walked in the forest with one foot deep and one foot shallow, only to feel that he was in the cold winter, and his hand holding the long knife was aching from the cold.
Following the impression to find the location on the mountainside, and seeing the grass-covered slope from a distance, Chen Ran exhaled a mouthful of white mist and quickened his pace.
As his footsteps quickened, Chen Ran's heart jumped for joy, but that good mood didn't last long. When he entered the lawn, he saw the translucent figure emitting a faint white light lying in front of the altar from a distance. Chen Ran was jumping for joy. His heart was immediately tightened.
"Guodong?!" Chen Ran quickly ran forward.
Rushing to Guodong's side, Chen Ran threw away the long knife in his hand and knelt on the ground to pick him up. The moment his hand touched Guodong, he immediately felt a chilling chill from Guodong's body .
The cold air is different from the Yin air, and also different from the cold air in the cold winter. It is a pure cold that makes people's hands and feet cold. It is so cold that Chen Ran's hands hugging Guodong's body are immediately unconscious, as if they have entered a freezing room. .
Feeling all this, Chen Ran instantly understood where the cold air at night came from.
"Guodong?" Chen Ran hugged Guodong tightly, ignoring the chill that poured into his body and made him shiver.
Seeing Guodong's wrinkled face due to the severe pain, and feeling the constant trembling of Guodong's body in his arms, Chen Ran became more and more panicked, "Guodong?"
Chen Ran hugged Guodong tightly, trying to transmit his body temperature to Guodong, to warm Guodong's body that was so cold, but everything he did was in vain, and he hugged Guodong for less than two seconds , his whole body was shivering from the cold.
The blood in his body seemed to be frozen by the cold and stopped flowing, his teeth were chattering uncontrollably, his tongue couldn't be stretched straight, and he couldn't even speak clearly.
"Guodong..." Chen Ran didn't let go of Guodong, he patted Guodong's cheek.
"Well……"
Guodong sensed that there was someone beside him, but he didn't care so much at all, he just clutched his heart hard, he groaned in pain, there was no cold sweat on his forehead, but his whole body became transparent, as if at any time to disappear.
"What's wrong with you? Why are you so cold, is it painful..." Chen Ran was at a loss, and hated himself for being at a loss. He couldn't do anything except being at a loss.
"...It hurts..." Guodong shrank into a ball, "It hurts..."
"You..." Chen Ran turned his head in a panic, trying to ask for help, but there was no one around but him, but he couldn't help Guodong.
"Hmm..." Guodong turned over and curled up into a ball again.
Chen Ran hated himself for being useless, he could only hug Guodong tightly, his voice was hoarse, he comforted him clumsily, "It's okay, it won't hurt soon..."
"Chen Ran?...It hurts..." Recognizing Chen Ran, Guodong felt a little safe. He pressed his chest hard while talking to Chen Ran intermittently.
Sensing Guodong's support, Chen Ran didn't feel happy, but became more and more worried and blamed himself, "It's okay, it's okay..."
Guodong is a god, he will not feel heartache for no reason, he will feel heartache, it must be because someone in the town betrayed him and hurt him.
He should have thought of this earlier, he wanted to do something, but for the current Guodong, killing those people was tantamount to killing Guodong.
Chen Ran was angry at his helplessness, that anger overwhelmed the chill that came from Guodong's body, tearing at his throat and heart, but he still couldn't do anything, he could only hug the person in his arms tightly , "Don't be afraid..."
Chen Ran tried hard to remind himself to be calm, trying to remind himself that this place is just a piece of history and a memory, but even if he was calm enough to know that this place is just history and memory, looking at Guodong whose face was wrinkled in pain in his arms, he still Uncomfortable or distressed.
"Sorry, sorry..." Chen Ran didn't know what to say, he just apologized instinctively.
Chen Ran didn't know how many times he apologized, and how many times he called Guodong's name. He didn't even know when he passed out. When he woke up again, the sun had already risen.
The too bright sunlight shone directly into his eyes through his eyelids, forcing him to open them.
The moment he opened his eyes, Chen Ran vaguely saw a translucent figure, and the next moment he was stimulated by the sun to close his eyes, and tears rolled down the corners of his eyes, blurring his vision.
After a while, when Chen Ran opened his eyes again, Guo Dong had already noticed that he had woken up.
Guodong floated here like a butterfly.
"Are you awake?" Guo Dong took out a white bun from his arms and handed it to Chen Ran.
Chen Ran put down the hand that was blocking his eyes, and he looked at Guodong.Guodong didn't know why he was in a good mood, even floating in front of him and handing him buns was dishonest, with his head shaking.
"Here, it's still hot. I went down the mountain in the morning to 'buy' it." Guodong recalled the previous events, emphasizing that he bought it with money and didn't steal it.
Chen Ran took the bun, "Aren't you uncomfortable?"
"Yeah." Guodong nodded, very happy as if he didn't remember anything.
Chen Ran took the still hot steamed stuffed bun, looked at Guo Dong with a smile on his face, his mouth was bitter.
"Lan Haoyi and Gao Jin said that they will go down the mountain today to have a look, and let me tell you." Guodong passed on the message obediently, and while speaking, he saw that Chen Ran hadn't eaten buns, so he hurriedly urged, "Eat quickly, wait a minute It’s cold, and if you eat it, you’ll have a stomachache.”
Chen Ran opened his mouth to bite the steamed stuffed bun, but he really didn't have the appetite, and the overjoyed smile on Guodong's face made him feel dazzling, "What are you happy about?"
"Hey..." Guodong floated in front of Chen Ran, and sat down on the ground imitating Chen Ran's appearance, "You came to see me yesterday because you were worried about me?"
When he asked the question, as if he was afraid that Chen Ran would deny it, Guodong immediately said in a hurry: "Lan Haoyi said that you came to look for me because you were worried about me."
Lan Haoyi has said it all, so Chen Ran is not allowed to play tricks.
Chen Ran lowered his hand holding the bun, "I did come to you because I was worried about you, so?"
"Hey..." Listening to Chen Ran's words, Guo Dong knew that he was worried, and Guo Dong floated lightly.
He was so happy that he fluttered to the left for a while, fluttered to the right for a while, and occasionally turned around, like a silly fat butterfly.
No one had ever seen him before, no one had ever worried about him before.
Seeing Guodong like that, Chen Ran lost his appetite even more.
Chen Ran was staring at Guodong in a daze, when there was a shout from a distance, someone called Chen Ran's name.
The person who called him was Lan Haoyi, and Lan Haoyi seemed to be looking for him all over the mountain.
Chen Ran responded, and soon Lan Haoyi appeared outside the slope, together with Jianjin.
"It can be regarded as finding you."
The two stepped forward.
"What happened?" Chen Ran asked, didn't Lan Haoyi and Gao Jin go down the mountain?
"We inquired about something at the foot of the mountain." Lan Haoyi looked at Guodong beside him, who was still laughing silly.
"What's the matter?" Chen Ran got up, and wanted to follow Lan Haoyi to the side to say that it must be an important matter that the two of them would come up the mountain again on purpose.
"No need, he will find out sooner or later. The whole town is saying that there is no way to hide it..." Gao Jin smiled wryly, "The people in the town below the mountain are preparing for the ceremony."
"Festival? What festival?" Upon hearing the word, Guodong immediately floated over, "There are no festivals in this season..."
Gao approached and looked at Guodong, "Thank you for the ceremony of worshiping you."
Guo Dong was stunned.
"The festival is scheduled for the day after tomorrow, and the whole town will participate at that time, saying that they want to thank you for protecting them." Ju Jin said.
Guo Dong came back to his senses in an instant, he glanced at the direction of the town, his eyes were momentarily dazed and helpless, and immediately he floated up with joy, "Thank me?"
"Don't go." Chen Ran said, if Guodong didn't know, it meant that there was no such festival in the past, and the festival was held suddenly at this time, so there was something wrong with it no matter how you looked at it.
"I'm going." Guodong happily floated towards the town, he wanted to go and have a look now, but he didn't know how to prepare?
"I told you not to go." Chen Ran stopped with a dark face.
"Why?" Guo Dong was puzzled.
"If I say no, it won't work."
Guo Dong has never seen such a bad person as Chen Ran, "That is the festival they prepared for me, of course I will go."
"I said no to go! Can't you see that, they don't want to hold any celebration at all, they don't want to thank you at all, they are just uneasy and kind, they want to—" The suppressed emotions in Chen Ran's heart were there It broke out in an instant, and he yelled at Guodong with a dark face.
Is Guodong an idiot?When the scar is healed, forget about the pain.
Did he forget what he was in pain last night?
Is he really out of his mind?
Suddenly being murdered, or being scolded by Chen Ran with a dark face, Guo Dong's face was full of surprise, and after the surprise, there was uncontrollable grievance and anger. His eyes were red, "So what? They created I, I exist because of them..."
Going back ferociously, Guo Donghong glared at Chen Ran, then turned around and drifted towards the woods with aggrieved eyes.Because he was so sad, he even forgot that he could disappear directly, and just kept floating into the woods, flying fast.
Seeing Guodong's leaving back and listening to Guodong's words, Chen Ran, who was dazzled by anger, instantly sobered up.
He was dumb, he clenched his fists and clenched his teeth.
He suddenly realized that Guo Dong knew, he probably knew it a long time ago.
Guodong is closely related to those people in the town. He was born in the belief of those people. If the thoughts of those people in the town change, Guodong will definitely know immediately...
"I'll go find him..." Chen Ran quickly chased Guo Dong away.
Chen Ran watched Guodong drift into the woods, but he didn't see anyone after entering the woods. He kept searching along the woods, but he couldn't find anyone after searching for nearly an hour.
No one could be found, so Chen Ran could only go back to the temple first.
Lan Haoyi and Gao Jin had already returned, and when they saw Chen Ran, they both looked up.
"Has he come here?" Chen Ran asked.
The two shook their heads.
Chen Ran quietly looked at the temple behind the two of them for a moment, and then said, "...I'll look for it again."
Lan Haoyi opened his mouth to stop Chen Ran, wanted to discuss with Chen Ran about the festival, but swallowed the words again. The most important thing now is to find Guodong first, and he cannot be allowed to go to the festival no matter what.
Seeing Chen Ran leave, Lan Haoyi let out a long sigh, and looked up at the sky again.
"It's going to rain." He approached.
During the few days they came here, the sun was shining almost every day, which also made the winter here so warm that they even forgot that it was still winter here.
Now that the clouds are over the top and the cold wind blows through the mountains, the feeling of winter has suddenly become clear. The chill seems to penetrate their bodies and enter their souls.
Chen Ran returned to the shrine, and he searched around but still couldn't find Guodong.
No one was found, so Chen Ran searched again in the nearby woods.
After still not finding anyone, Chen Ran glanced at the drizzled sky and had to go back to the temple first.
It was a ten-minute walk from the shrine to the temple, and when Chen Ran returned to the temple, the drizzle had turned into a downpour, and the sky, which could still vaguely see some light, was pitch black.
There was no thunder or lightning, only the continuous downpour of rain. It looked like the whole mountain and the whole town were crying.
Chen Ran stood at the entrance of the temple for less than 5 minutes and couldn't help it, "I'll look for it again."
With that said, he headed towards the rain again.
Looking at Chen Ran's body that was soaked by the rain in an instant, Lan Haoyi and Gao approached and swallowed the words to stop them. They also realized that the rain was not right.
After a moment of silence, in the dark temple, Gao Jin spoke first, "I'll look for it too, you just wait here for him, maybe he will come here..."
"Let's go." Lan Haoyi was already looking for the rain while speaking.
The rain is getting heavier and heavier, and when the raindrops hit the ground, they can make small puddles. When the rain hits the body, it hurts a little, but the pain is second. The cold that seeps through.
The cold air came from all directions, as if to swallow everything in the world.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, which made the search of the three more difficult.
The three separated and kept searching in the mountains, but they couldn't find Guodong until night fell.
After meeting again in the temple, Chen Ran resolutely turned around and entered the woods.
Facing Chen Ran like this, Lan Haoyi and Gao Jin looked at each other, then turned around silently and continued to search.
Because of the heavy rain, after nightfall, the entire mountain can be said to have no light at all, and it is so dark that you can't stretch your fingers. This also makes it more difficult to find, and you will fall if you are not careful.
Chen Ran tripped over something and got up from the ground. He shook off the mud he touched and wiped his face again. Anyway, no matter how much mud was on his face, it would be washed away by the rain soon.
After wiping his face, Chen Ran continued to smear his face and walked forward.
He went to the shrine again, hoping that Guodong could go back, but Guodong didn't go back.
The rain was so heavy that the god pit was smashed and crackled, as if it was about to collapse at any time.
Chen Ran tried to set up a tent around it, using his own clothes as the roof, but it was pointless, because the rain was so heavy that even if he set up the tent, it would soon be knocked down by the rain.
No one was found, nor could it stop the rain from beating on the shrine. After Chen Ran stood still in front of the shrine for a long time, he continued to search aimlessly.
This mountain is very big and wide, and it is also too big and too wide. Chen Ran's legs and feet hurt from walking in the rain and he couldn't finish it, not even one-fifth of the way.
In a daze, Chen Ran didn't know how long he had walked in the rain before his legs stopped before he realized.
Looking at the translucent and glowing white figure lying on the ground, after a long while, Chen Ran's mind finally cleared up.
He quickly ran towards that side with one foot deep and one shallow foot, approached, and looked at Guodong who fell on the ground, Chen Ran's body trembled as he gasped violently.
He squatted down slowly, and reached out to touch Guodong. When he was touched, Guodong shivered. He seemed to be just asleep.
Facing such Guodong,
Chen Ran grabbed Guo Dong's hand that was stroking his head.
"What's wrong?" Guo Dong asked, "Is it still hurting?"
As he said that, Guodong went to rub Chen Ran's head again, and it didn't hurt anymore.
"It doesn't hurt." Chen Ran said.
Guo Dong's shallow brows frowned again, Chen Ran was lying, Chen Ran was still in pain, his eyes said so, his eyebrows said so, and his aura said so too.
Guo Dong wanted to say something, but Chen Ran had already got up from the ground.
Chen Ran turned his head under the moonlight, and quietly looked at the shrine at his feet for a moment. The shrine was like a small home. Although the "roof" of the home had been tilted to one side, it still made people feel very warm.
Chen Ran imagined the scene of the little Guodong sitting inside shaking his feet, and the corners of his mouth could not help but tighten.
"Go back." Chen Ran said.
Guo Dong was dragged by Chen Ran to float towards the temple. While floating Guo Dong, he looked at Chen Ran's back suspiciously. Chen Ran was obviously better just now, why did he suddenly feel so badly in pain now?
"Are you going to stay here?" Guo Dong asked.
"What?" Chen Ran was puzzled.
"In the town." Guodong floated forward a little to be side by side with Chen Ran, he didn't break free from Chen Ran's hand holding him, he liked it like this.
People in the town couldn't see him, so no one ever talked to him. Chen Ran was the first one, and Chen Ran was also the first one to hold his hand while walking.
"If you also live in the town, then I can bless you in the future." Guodong couldn't help but fart when he thought of the town, "The people in the town are wonderful, and they will definitely welcome you. "
Chen Ran didn't answer, he just led Guodong towards the temple.
In the night, when the two returned to the temple, they had already woken up. He was adding firewood to the fire, and it was cold in the mountains at night.
Gao Jin raised his eyes and saw Chen Ran and Guo Dong coming back together, he quickly lowered his head and continued to tinker with the fire.
When the fire was turned on again, the temperature in the temple rose, and when it was close, it lay back on the ground again.
Chen Ran returned to his previous position, holding the knife in his arms and closing his eyes.
The night is deep.
Guodong looked at Gao Jin and then at Chen Ran. He floated quietly, wanting to watch them fall asleep.
The water vapor on the mountain is heavy, especially in winter, the mountains are covered with white mist in the morning, and the leaves on the ground are even covered with hoarfrost, like a dream.
Later, when the sun rose, the hoarfrost disappeared, followed by the mist in the mountains.
In the middle of the morning, an unexpected guest was ushered in on the mountain, and he temporarily stayed at the Jiyue of Qian's house.With a light-colored, near-white robe and well-groomed long hair, the sacrifice to the moon is as elegant as a gentleman.
Seeing the man appearing in front of the temple, the three of Chen Ran in the temple all frowned.
"What are you doing here?" Chen Ran looked at Jiyue warily.
Guodong was not there, his whereabouts were erratic, he was in the town for a while, and in the mountains for a while, Chen Ran didn't know where he went in the blink of an eye just now.
Jiyue didn't answer Chen Ran's question right away. He looked around the temple in front of him, and then his eyes fell on the three of Chen Ran, "If you can come, I can't come?"
Chen Ran said nothing, this is indeed not their territory.
Jiyue laughed, "Don't be so nervous, I just came to see it. People in the town say that there is a very effective god in this mountain."
Said, Jiyue slowly approached the temple.
Coming to the front of the temple, Jiyue looked at the temple again.
Probably because he didn't see Guodong, so he spoke casually, "This temple is too shabby."
Chen Ran immediately recalled the smug expression on Guo Dong's face when he brought them to see, "It's none of your business whether you're poor or not?"
Although they also felt that the ruined temple was really shabby, Guodong liked it, and if Guodong liked it, that was enough.
Jiyue was stunned for a while, he smiled wryly and looked at Chen Ran, "Why are you always full of hostility towards me?"
Chen Ran remained silent, and there was only a chill in his cold eyes.
Jiyue knew that Chen Ran would not explain, and he ignored Chen Ran. When he came to the temple, he folded his hands and closed his eyes to worship, as if he really came to worship the gods on the mountain.
Seeing that Jiyue finished worshiping the gods, Chen Ran opened his mouth to drive away people without waiting for Jiyue to speak again, "After worshiping, you can go."
"Let's go right away." Jiyue nodded with a good temper.
While speaking, he turned his head again and looked around.
This time, he stopped quickly.
Chen Ran looked in the direction Jiyue was looking at, and soon at the end of his line of sight, he saw a big fat butterfly happily floating towards them. What the hell.
Sensing the line of sight, Guodong looked up.
"It's you!" The smile on Guodong's face froze the moment he saw Jiyue.
Guodong was like a furious cat, the hairs all over his body stood on end. He bared his teeth fiercely and rushed in front of Chen Ran and the others, and then guarded them in front of Chen Ran and the others.
Faced with this, after Jiyue's brief surprise, his eyes that had always been smiling were less smiling and more cold. He glanced at Chen behind Guodong through Guodong. Of course.
Chen Ran stared back unceremoniously, he was already full of anger, if possible, he really wanted to find someone to fight hard.
Jiyue was not angered, but he quickly returned to his previous gentle appearance, he laughed, "It seems that you have already gained his trust."
Chen Ran frowned, and so did Lan Haoyi and Gao Jin. Hearing Jiyue's words made people feel uncomfortable. What does it mean that they have already gained Guodong's trust?It's as if they want to do something to Guodong.
"No wonder you don't like me." Jiyue smiled and shook his head, Chen Ran and the three of them seemed to be taking care of the cubs, but no matter how fierce Chen Ran and the others barked, they just didn't grow any teeth Qi's cub.
"Let me take my leave." Jiyue gave a slight salute to Chen Ran and the others, then turned and walked down the mountain.
Before walking out of the earth dam in front of the temple, he paused for a moment and looked towards the back of the mountainside.
His actions made Guodong more and more fierce, and Guodong immediately moved to the side to block Jiyue's sight, because that was where Guodong's shrine was.
Faced with this, Chen Ran raised his forehead, didn't Guodong's block confirm Jiyue's guess?However, Chen Ran's thought was fleeting, even if Guodong didn't stop him, Jiyue must have noticed it, otherwise he wouldn't have looked over there.
Seeing Guodong like that, Jiyue smiled, saluted again, and then went down the mountain.
Looking at the back of Jiyue going away, the faces of Chen Ran and the three people in the temple were extremely ugly.
"What on earth is he here for?" Lan Haoyi asked.
"Is there anything behind the mountain?" Gao Jin looked at Guodong.
"There is Guodong's shrine over there. There is a stone in the shrine where Guodong first woke up. It may be Guodong's god statue." Chen Ran said.
Jinjin was surprised, and so was Lan Haoyi, they thought the temple in Guodong was where they lived.
"Don't tell others." Guodong said fiercely, the shrine was very important to him.
"I'll just tell them." Chen Ran said.
Guodong looked at Lan Haoyi and Jiajin, and put away the blown hair.
Being trusted, Lan Haoyi and Gao Jin glanced at each other, both of them couldn't help laughing, but under the smile, there was bitterness in their eyes.
They had only known Guodong for a few days, and Guodong told them everything foolishly, if they were really bad guys...
Could Jiyue deceive Guodong in this way?
Thinking about this possibility, when Lan Haoyi and Gao Jin looked at Guodong again, their old father's worries were deeply in their eyes.
"Stay away from that guy, that guy is not a good person." Chen Ran obviously also thought of this possibility, he seemed to have seen the scene where Guodong was tricked into selling and happily helping count the money.
"I know, I'm not an idiot." Guodong turned his head to look in the direction of Jiyue going down the mountain. He didn't like Jiyue very much, "He stinks and is disgusting."
"Smelly?" Chen Ran was stunned for a moment, and then his face darkened. There is only one kind of person who makes Guodong feel stinky and disgusting.
Guodong is still fine now, it must not be Guodong, so Jiyue has eaten the flesh and blood of other gods?
Thinking of this possibility, Chen Ran's hand holding the knife became stronger.
Lan Haoyi and Gao Jin had already understood it, and when they looked in the direction of Jiyue, their faces became a bit more dignified, Guodong's matter was definitely related to Jiyue.
and……
Lan Haoyi and Gao Jin looked at Guodong again, frowning more and more tightly.
Guodong is a god, although because he doesn’t have many contacts and he was born out of goodwill, he can easily trust people, but Guodong is not stupid, and Guodong can feel that there is something wrong with Jiyue. The question is, then it is impossible for him to believe in Jiyue, so what happened next?
Chen Ran looked at Guodong and told him, "Follow me for the next few days, don't stay too far away from me."
"Okay." Guodong nodded obediently.
Lan Haoyi and Gao Jin were stunned for a while, and then they were stunned again, and when they looked at Guodong and Chen Ran, they were all surprised. Chen Ran and Guodong were still arguing before, why did they reconcile in just one night?
Chen Ran was also stunned, he didn't expect Guo Dong to be so obedient.
"Why?" Guodong looked at Chen Ran with disgust, "Didn't you tell me to follow you?"
Chen Ran himself asked him to follow him, but Chen Ran was not happy when he agreed.
"Idiot." Chen Ran left the temple and walked down the mountain. Jiyue would definitely not let it go.
"Damn it!" Guodong, who was scolded without knowing why, immediately turned back fiercely, and no one was allowed to insult him, not even Chen Ran.
Chen Ran ignored it, and just silently added "idiot" in his heart.
Guodong seemed to notice something, frowning and staring fiercely at Chen Ran's back, Chen Ran must have secretly scolded him in his heart just now.
Guodong was thinking about whether to go back fiercely, when there was a sudden sharp pain in his heart, "Uh--"
The pain came so suddenly and so intensely that Guodong's face turned pale instantly, and his body convulsed uncontrollably and curled up into a ball.
002.
"Guodong?!" Lan Haoyi was sizing up Guodong, but when he saw Guodong suddenly groaned and shrank into a ball, he immediately exclaimed, and he immediately went towards Guodong.
Chen Ran, who had already walked a long way, turned his head and saw Guo Dong huddled into a ball, he immediately ran back without saying a word, "Guo Dong?"
Jiajin has also come to Guodong's side.
"What's wrong with you?" Chen Ran asked.
Chen Ran tried to touch Guodong, and after confirming that he could touch Guodong, he quickly took Guodong to the temple beside him.
Put Guodong in the temple, seeing Guodong's painful face turned pale, Chen Ran's face also turned pale.
"Could it be something happened to his shrine—" Gao Jin guessed, before he finished speaking, Chen Ran rushed out with a knife.
"Could it be that guy just now?" Lan Haoyi squatted down on the other side of Guodong.
Guodong hadn't recovered from the pain yet, he closed his eyes tightly, his eyelashes were trembling constantly, and his body trembled together.
"Guo Dong?"
The pain came and went quickly.
After a while, Guodong's tense body slowly relaxed a little, and then he relaxed as if he lost all strength.He slowly opened his eyes, his black and white pupils turned slightly, looking in the direction of the town.
"Are you okay?" Gao Jin immediately asked.
Guodong shook his head, then shook his head again, "It's okay."
Guodong lowered his head and touched his heart blankly. It hurt so badly just now, as if he was about to die.
"Really okay?"
"It's okay." Guodong touched his chest again, the pain there was no longer there.
"Is it because of the shrine?" Lan Haoyi asked.
"Sacred shrine?" Guodong's black and white eyes were blank, and he was in a trance for a moment, then Guodong shook his head again, "It's okay, it just hurts."
While speaking, Guodong stood up floating, and with his movements, his robes also floated up, but probably he hadn't fully recovered from the pain, Guodong seemed a little listless.
Guodong looked down at his chest that was still in pain just now, looked around the temple, but did not see Chen Ran, he was puzzled, "Where is Chen Ran?"
"You scared him just now, we thought it was Jiyue who moved your shrine, so he ran over to have a look." Gao Jin explained.
Probably really scared, Chen Ran's speed is very fast, he ran back and forth in less than 10 minutes for a one-way journey of more than ten minutes.
Back at the temple, seeing Guodong floating foolishly while touching his chest, Chen Ran heaved a sigh of relief, and then took a breath.
Although his physical strength is good, he is not good enough to run at full speed in the mountains for 10 minutes without panting.
"How is it?" Gao looked over.
Chen Ran shook his head, "That guy isn't there, the shrine is fine."
Lan Haoyi and Gao Jin breathed a sigh of relief, they had a certain understanding of ghosts, but they knew very little about gods, strictly speaking, Guodong was the first god they had ever seen.They didn't meet the little mountain god before, they just heard about it from Yang Qi.
"What's going on?" Chen Ran regained his strength and looked at Guodong.
Guo Dong put down the hand that had been touching his chest, he was more dazed than Chen Ran, his expression seemed to be wondering if he had eaten something strange before, which was why he suddenly felt heartache.
"Are you an idiot?" Chen Ran couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief while cursing, seeing Guodong shrinking into a ball in pain, his heart seemed to be ripped out of his chest.
"You are the fool!" Guodong angrily floated towards his shrine, he didn't want to talk to Chen Ran anymore.
"The shrine is fine, so why would he..." Gao Jin looked in the direction Guodong left.
Chen Ran and Lan Haoyi didn't answer the conversation, they just frowned and remained silent. This is already their fourth day in this dungeon.
"I'll go down the mountain to have a look." Chen Ran walked down the mountain with a knife, knowing that the time was approaching, he really couldn't help but sit on the mountain and wait.
"Let's go too." Lan Haoyi said.
Chen Ran opened his mouth and wanted to refuse, Lan Haoyi preempted him and said: "Don't forget that this is a dungeon, and don't forget that there should be a Guodong in this dungeon."
After a pause, Lan Haoyi said again: "We must find that mural as soon as possible, otherwise how can we get out? Or do you want to stay in this dungeon and die with a piece of history and memory..."
Lan Haoyi didn't want to make things too harsh, but he felt that Chen Ran was already in charge, so he was afraid that if he didn't remind Chen Ran, he would forget that this place was just a piece of history and a memory, everything had already happened, and they couldn't change anything.
Chen Ran has indeed forgotten, at least at the moment when he saw Guodong's heartache, he didn't think at all that this place is just a piece of history and a memory.
Chen Ran took a deep breath and tried to get himself out of that emotion, but all his efforts were in vain, and he couldn't stay out of it.
"We split into two groups. You go and watch Jiyue, and we'll look around the town to see if we can find another Guodong or information about the murals..." Jia Jin sighed.
Chen Ran didn't say a word, and walked down the mountain silently.
Seeing Chen Ran like that, Gao Jin pursed his lips and smiled wryly, as did Lan Haoyi beside him.
"It's already the fourth day. If Guodong could come in, this dungeon must have already come in." Tell me, if Guodong can't enter this dungeon, then they probably really can't get out, and they will be trapped in this dungeon forever inside.
"Or..." Lan Haoyi looked towards the direction where Guodong left in this world.
Looking closer, his lips moved, but he didn't know what to say.
If Guodong is really in Xiao Guodong's body, just sleeping and unable to wake up, then they should be happy, because then they can go out, and Guodong can take them out.
But if this is really the case, wouldn't Guodong be letting Guodong go through those things in the past again?One time is not enough, let him go through it again?
"Don't think about it, look for it first, maybe Guodong is in the town." Lan Haoyi clenched his crutches and walked down the mountain.
The three of them went down the mountain and acted separately, Chen Ran still followed Jiyue, while Lan Haoyi and Gao Jin searched the whole town.
As the sun went down, when the three of them met again next to the land of Wang Dagui's family at the foot of the mountain, their expressions were all bad.
During the silence, just looking at each other's faces, the three of them guessed that it must be another day of nothing.
No one spoke, and the three of them walked up the mountain in silence.
When they went up the mountain, the sky had completely darkened, and the temple was completely dark.
"Guodong?" Chen Ran called, but no one answered in the darkness, only silence remained.
"Where did that guy go?" Under the night, Chen Ran muttered.
Back at the temple, the three of them were not idle. They quickly went to the woods to gather some firewood while they could still see something vaguely, and lit a bonfire in the temple.
After lighting the fire, the three of them roasted some vegetables that had wilted in the corners, devoured their fill, and lay down early.
Under the firelight, Gao Jin guessed Guodong's situation, he always felt strange, there was no reason why the three of them could come in, and Guodong couldn't come in, and what Guodong said before about flesh and blood also made him uneasy.
Hearing the approaching guess, Chen Ran, who was leaning against the corner with the knife in his arms, couldn't stay still. He got up and walked out of the temple.
Gao Jin and Lan Haoyi noticed it and looked over immediately.
"I'll go see that idiot." Chen Ran left without looking back.
He hadn't seen Guodong since the morning. They went down the mountain during the day, but they came back after dark at night. If it was normal, Guodong would have appeared out of nowhere, but he didn't show up all night.
Coupled with what happened in the morning, Chen Ran was inexplicably uneasy.
Unlike the previous moonlight that covered the entire mountain forest, today's night is extremely dark, and Chen Ran can hardly see the situation under his feet when walking on the road.
The temperature tonight is also extremely low, and the chill full of water vapor is chilling, and the cold feeling seeps into the body from the limbs, and it seems that even the blood can freeze.
Chen Ran walked in the forest with one foot deep and one foot shallow, only to feel that he was in the cold winter, and his hand holding the long knife was aching from the cold.
Following the impression to find the location on the mountainside, and seeing the grass-covered slope from a distance, Chen Ran exhaled a mouthful of white mist and quickened his pace.
As his footsteps quickened, Chen Ran's heart jumped for joy, but that good mood didn't last long. When he entered the lawn, he saw the translucent figure emitting a faint white light lying in front of the altar from a distance. Chen Ran was jumping for joy. His heart was immediately tightened.
"Guodong?!" Chen Ran quickly ran forward.
Rushing to Guodong's side, Chen Ran threw away the long knife in his hand and knelt on the ground to pick him up. The moment his hand touched Guodong, he immediately felt a chilling chill from Guodong's body .
The cold air is different from the Yin air, and also different from the cold air in the cold winter. It is a pure cold that makes people's hands and feet cold. It is so cold that Chen Ran's hands hugging Guodong's body are immediately unconscious, as if they have entered a freezing room. .
Feeling all this, Chen Ran instantly understood where the cold air at night came from.
"Guodong?" Chen Ran hugged Guodong tightly, ignoring the chill that poured into his body and made him shiver.
Seeing Guodong's wrinkled face due to the severe pain, and feeling the constant trembling of Guodong's body in his arms, Chen Ran became more and more panicked, "Guodong?"
Chen Ran hugged Guodong tightly, trying to transmit his body temperature to Guodong, to warm Guodong's body that was so cold, but everything he did was in vain, and he hugged Guodong for less than two seconds , his whole body was shivering from the cold.
The blood in his body seemed to be frozen by the cold and stopped flowing, his teeth were chattering uncontrollably, his tongue couldn't be stretched straight, and he couldn't even speak clearly.
"Guodong..." Chen Ran didn't let go of Guodong, he patted Guodong's cheek.
"Well……"
Guodong sensed that there was someone beside him, but he didn't care so much at all, he just clutched his heart hard, he groaned in pain, there was no cold sweat on his forehead, but his whole body became transparent, as if at any time to disappear.
"What's wrong with you? Why are you so cold, is it painful..." Chen Ran was at a loss, and hated himself for being at a loss. He couldn't do anything except being at a loss.
"...It hurts..." Guodong shrank into a ball, "It hurts..."
"You..." Chen Ran turned his head in a panic, trying to ask for help, but there was no one around but him, but he couldn't help Guodong.
"Hmm..." Guodong turned over and curled up into a ball again.
Chen Ran hated himself for being useless, he could only hug Guodong tightly, his voice was hoarse, he comforted him clumsily, "It's okay, it won't hurt soon..."
"Chen Ran?...It hurts..." Recognizing Chen Ran, Guodong felt a little safe. He pressed his chest hard while talking to Chen Ran intermittently.
Sensing Guodong's support, Chen Ran didn't feel happy, but became more and more worried and blamed himself, "It's okay, it's okay..."
Guodong is a god, he will not feel heartache for no reason, he will feel heartache, it must be because someone in the town betrayed him and hurt him.
He should have thought of this earlier, he wanted to do something, but for the current Guodong, killing those people was tantamount to killing Guodong.
Chen Ran was angry at his helplessness, that anger overwhelmed the chill that came from Guodong's body, tearing at his throat and heart, but he still couldn't do anything, he could only hug the person in his arms tightly , "Don't be afraid..."
Chen Ran tried hard to remind himself to be calm, trying to remind himself that this place is just a piece of history and a memory, but even if he was calm enough to know that this place is just history and memory, looking at Guodong whose face was wrinkled in pain in his arms, he still Uncomfortable or distressed.
"Sorry, sorry..." Chen Ran didn't know what to say, he just apologized instinctively.
Chen Ran didn't know how many times he apologized, and how many times he called Guodong's name. He didn't even know when he passed out. When he woke up again, the sun had already risen.
The too bright sunlight shone directly into his eyes through his eyelids, forcing him to open them.
The moment he opened his eyes, Chen Ran vaguely saw a translucent figure, and the next moment he was stimulated by the sun to close his eyes, and tears rolled down the corners of his eyes, blurring his vision.
After a while, when Chen Ran opened his eyes again, Guo Dong had already noticed that he had woken up.
Guodong floated here like a butterfly.
"Are you awake?" Guo Dong took out a white bun from his arms and handed it to Chen Ran.
Chen Ran put down the hand that was blocking his eyes, and he looked at Guodong.Guodong didn't know why he was in a good mood, even floating in front of him and handing him buns was dishonest, with his head shaking.
"Here, it's still hot. I went down the mountain in the morning to 'buy' it." Guodong recalled the previous events, emphasizing that he bought it with money and didn't steal it.
Chen Ran took the bun, "Aren't you uncomfortable?"
"Yeah." Guodong nodded, very happy as if he didn't remember anything.
Chen Ran took the still hot steamed stuffed bun, looked at Guo Dong with a smile on his face, his mouth was bitter.
"Lan Haoyi and Gao Jin said that they will go down the mountain today to have a look, and let me tell you." Guodong passed on the message obediently, and while speaking, he saw that Chen Ran hadn't eaten buns, so he hurriedly urged, "Eat quickly, wait a minute It’s cold, and if you eat it, you’ll have a stomachache.”
Chen Ran opened his mouth to bite the steamed stuffed bun, but he really didn't have the appetite, and the overjoyed smile on Guodong's face made him feel dazzling, "What are you happy about?"
"Hey..." Guodong floated in front of Chen Ran, and sat down on the ground imitating Chen Ran's appearance, "You came to see me yesterday because you were worried about me?"
When he asked the question, as if he was afraid that Chen Ran would deny it, Guodong immediately said in a hurry: "Lan Haoyi said that you came to look for me because you were worried about me."
Lan Haoyi has said it all, so Chen Ran is not allowed to play tricks.
Chen Ran lowered his hand holding the bun, "I did come to you because I was worried about you, so?"
"Hey..." Listening to Chen Ran's words, Guo Dong knew that he was worried, and Guo Dong floated lightly.
He was so happy that he fluttered to the left for a while, fluttered to the right for a while, and occasionally turned around, like a silly fat butterfly.
No one had ever seen him before, no one had ever worried about him before.
Seeing Guodong like that, Chen Ran lost his appetite even more.
Chen Ran was staring at Guodong in a daze, when there was a shout from a distance, someone called Chen Ran's name.
The person who called him was Lan Haoyi, and Lan Haoyi seemed to be looking for him all over the mountain.
Chen Ran responded, and soon Lan Haoyi appeared outside the slope, together with Jianjin.
"It can be regarded as finding you."
The two stepped forward.
"What happened?" Chen Ran asked, didn't Lan Haoyi and Gao Jin go down the mountain?
"We inquired about something at the foot of the mountain." Lan Haoyi looked at Guodong beside him, who was still laughing silly.
"What's the matter?" Chen Ran got up, and wanted to follow Lan Haoyi to the side to say that it must be an important matter that the two of them would come up the mountain again on purpose.
"No need, he will find out sooner or later. The whole town is saying that there is no way to hide it..." Gao Jin smiled wryly, "The people in the town below the mountain are preparing for the ceremony."
"Festival? What festival?" Upon hearing the word, Guodong immediately floated over, "There are no festivals in this season..."
Gao approached and looked at Guodong, "Thank you for the ceremony of worshiping you."
Guo Dong was stunned.
"The festival is scheduled for the day after tomorrow, and the whole town will participate at that time, saying that they want to thank you for protecting them." Ju Jin said.
Guo Dong came back to his senses in an instant, he glanced at the direction of the town, his eyes were momentarily dazed and helpless, and immediately he floated up with joy, "Thank me?"
"Don't go." Chen Ran said, if Guodong didn't know, it meant that there was no such festival in the past, and the festival was held suddenly at this time, so there was something wrong with it no matter how you looked at it.
"I'm going." Guodong happily floated towards the town, he wanted to go and have a look now, but he didn't know how to prepare?
"I told you not to go." Chen Ran stopped with a dark face.
"Why?" Guo Dong was puzzled.
"If I say no, it won't work."
Guo Dong has never seen such a bad person as Chen Ran, "That is the festival they prepared for me, of course I will go."
"I said no to go! Can't you see that, they don't want to hold any celebration at all, they don't want to thank you at all, they are just uneasy and kind, they want to—" The suppressed emotions in Chen Ran's heart were there It broke out in an instant, and he yelled at Guodong with a dark face.
Is Guodong an idiot?When the scar is healed, forget about the pain.
Did he forget what he was in pain last night?
Is he really out of his mind?
Suddenly being murdered, or being scolded by Chen Ran with a dark face, Guo Dong's face was full of surprise, and after the surprise, there was uncontrollable grievance and anger. His eyes were red, "So what? They created I, I exist because of them..."
Going back ferociously, Guo Donghong glared at Chen Ran, then turned around and drifted towards the woods with aggrieved eyes.Because he was so sad, he even forgot that he could disappear directly, and just kept floating into the woods, flying fast.
Seeing Guodong's leaving back and listening to Guodong's words, Chen Ran, who was dazzled by anger, instantly sobered up.
He was dumb, he clenched his fists and clenched his teeth.
He suddenly realized that Guo Dong knew, he probably knew it a long time ago.
Guodong is closely related to those people in the town. He was born in the belief of those people. If the thoughts of those people in the town change, Guodong will definitely know immediately...
"I'll go find him..." Chen Ran quickly chased Guo Dong away.
Chen Ran watched Guodong drift into the woods, but he didn't see anyone after entering the woods. He kept searching along the woods, but he couldn't find anyone after searching for nearly an hour.
No one could be found, so Chen Ran could only go back to the temple first.
Lan Haoyi and Gao Jin had already returned, and when they saw Chen Ran, they both looked up.
"Has he come here?" Chen Ran asked.
The two shook their heads.
Chen Ran quietly looked at the temple behind the two of them for a moment, and then said, "...I'll look for it again."
Lan Haoyi opened his mouth to stop Chen Ran, wanted to discuss with Chen Ran about the festival, but swallowed the words again. The most important thing now is to find Guodong first, and he cannot be allowed to go to the festival no matter what.
Seeing Chen Ran leave, Lan Haoyi let out a long sigh, and looked up at the sky again.
"It's going to rain." He approached.
During the few days they came here, the sun was shining almost every day, which also made the winter here so warm that they even forgot that it was still winter here.
Now that the clouds are over the top and the cold wind blows through the mountains, the feeling of winter has suddenly become clear. The chill seems to penetrate their bodies and enter their souls.
Chen Ran returned to the shrine, and he searched around but still couldn't find Guodong.
No one was found, so Chen Ran searched again in the nearby woods.
After still not finding anyone, Chen Ran glanced at the drizzled sky and had to go back to the temple first.
It was a ten-minute walk from the shrine to the temple, and when Chen Ran returned to the temple, the drizzle had turned into a downpour, and the sky, which could still vaguely see some light, was pitch black.
There was no thunder or lightning, only the continuous downpour of rain. It looked like the whole mountain and the whole town were crying.
Chen Ran stood at the entrance of the temple for less than 5 minutes and couldn't help it, "I'll look for it again."
With that said, he headed towards the rain again.
Looking at Chen Ran's body that was soaked by the rain in an instant, Lan Haoyi and Gao approached and swallowed the words to stop them. They also realized that the rain was not right.
After a moment of silence, in the dark temple, Gao Jin spoke first, "I'll look for it too, you just wait here for him, maybe he will come here..."
"Let's go." Lan Haoyi was already looking for the rain while speaking.
The rain is getting heavier and heavier, and when the raindrops hit the ground, they can make small puddles. When the rain hits the body, it hurts a little, but the pain is second. The cold that seeps through.
The cold air came from all directions, as if to swallow everything in the world.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, which made the search of the three more difficult.
The three separated and kept searching in the mountains, but they couldn't find Guodong until night fell.
After meeting again in the temple, Chen Ran resolutely turned around and entered the woods.
Facing Chen Ran like this, Lan Haoyi and Gao Jin looked at each other, then turned around silently and continued to search.
Because of the heavy rain, after nightfall, the entire mountain can be said to have no light at all, and it is so dark that you can't stretch your fingers. This also makes it more difficult to find, and you will fall if you are not careful.
Chen Ran tripped over something and got up from the ground. He shook off the mud he touched and wiped his face again. Anyway, no matter how much mud was on his face, it would be washed away by the rain soon.
After wiping his face, Chen Ran continued to smear his face and walked forward.
He went to the shrine again, hoping that Guodong could go back, but Guodong didn't go back.
The rain was so heavy that the god pit was smashed and crackled, as if it was about to collapse at any time.
Chen Ran tried to set up a tent around it, using his own clothes as the roof, but it was pointless, because the rain was so heavy that even if he set up the tent, it would soon be knocked down by the rain.
No one was found, nor could it stop the rain from beating on the shrine. After Chen Ran stood still in front of the shrine for a long time, he continued to search aimlessly.
This mountain is very big and wide, and it is also too big and too wide. Chen Ran's legs and feet hurt from walking in the rain and he couldn't finish it, not even one-fifth of the way.
In a daze, Chen Ran didn't know how long he had walked in the rain before his legs stopped before he realized.
Looking at the translucent and glowing white figure lying on the ground, after a long while, Chen Ran's mind finally cleared up.
He quickly ran towards that side with one foot deep and one shallow foot, approached, and looked at Guodong who fell on the ground, Chen Ran's body trembled as he gasped violently.
He squatted down slowly, and reached out to touch Guodong. When he was touched, Guodong shivered. He seemed to be just asleep.
Facing such Guodong,
