death like wind

By the time Su Jin found Nadali according to the address Yan Xilin sent, it was dusk, the sky was dusk inlaid with gold, and the sun was shining brightly on the ground, making the world glow red.

The wind was strong in the mountains. Su Jin wrapped a scarf over her mouth and nose, rubbed her hands, and discussed with the driver: "I'll pay ten times the money, can I send us into the mountains? It's not far, just ahead."

The driver rolled down the window mercilessly, and said, "Several lives have been lost in this mountain, and it's almost dark. Even if you pay a hundred times the price, I won't go in for another meter."

After finishing speaking, the driver slammed the turntable, dust and dust rose from the rear of the car, and he seemed to be running away, as if some man-eating beast was chasing him.

Hu Daren was choked by the dust and coughed a few times, raised his hand to wave away the obstructing smoke, and said, "Why don't you call the boss and ask him to come down and pick it up."

Su Jin's resolute back was stretched by the sunset, and her voice came with the wind: "I think you can take this opportunity to exercise your body. If you grow fat, you will be dragged to the slaughterhouse."

"..." If Su Jin and Yan Xilin were fine, Hu Daren would not believe it even if he was killed.

This small hill is neither big nor small, and there are still a few residents on the top of the hill, but they stare at the outsiders very unkindly, holding a kitchen knife in their hands, as if they could rush over and do something at any time. shelf.

The dilapidated old houses are still vacant, some walls have collapsed, moss is growing in the cracks of the walls, and there is desolation everywhere.After wandering around for a long time, I saw people from the Nightmare Bureau in a corner, wearing the unique white robes of the Nightmare Bureau, and several people gathered together to talk about something.

Before Su Jin walked in, someone saw him and came up to him.They had already received the instructions from above, and treated Su Jin as a distinguished guest, and the treatment was higher than that of top dream masters: "Come and sit for a while, they have already gone to search the mountains."

A nonsensical sentence, but fortunately the little friend next to him helped explain: "When we came, that guy heard the noise and ran away with the old man, but the mountain has been surrounded, so he can't run away. Go out and catch it sooner or later."

"Thank you." Su Jin took the disposable water cup, sat down on the small bench, looked up at the darkening sky, and said, "How long have they been searching?"

"It's been an afternoon, and it's almost time to end." A few young men from the Nightmare Bureau sat aside, obviously a little embarrassed, secretly looking at Su Jin, but Hu Daren chatted and laughed with them, and they became friends after a while .

Not far away, there were a few people from the Nightmare Bureau in white robes. They built a simple stove with mud, picked up firewood, and borrowed a pot from a nearby family. Kind of.

Cooking smoke curled up, sparks lit up and dimmed in the dim yellow sky, and the wind was strong in the mountains, so it took a long time to light the firewood.

"Well, our team often travels on business, and we usually get something to eat when we're hungry." It happened that Hu Daren asked, and the people from the Nightmare Bureau replied shyly: "The vegetables are all dug in the mountains, and we borrow some from everywhere." The sauce, in the end, doesn’t cost much.”

Su Jin thought it was interesting, and the original nervousness was reduced a lot because of their accustomed attitude, and the idea of ​​going to show off her cooking skills came up, and this thought made her hands a little itchy.

"Don't." Hearing Su Jin's thoughts, Hu Daren quickly stopped him. Originally, he wanted to experience the fun of a picnic, but if Su Jin was really allowed to go, then the dinner would be lost: "You will let these young people go." Come on, don't leave indelible pain to their youth."

"But I want..." Before Su Jin could finish speaking, Hu Daren covered her mouth and said indifferently: "No, you don't want to."

The young people were very welcome, and very innocently invited Su Jin to take over the spoon: "We have no objection, it just so happens that everyone doesn't want to cook."

Having said all that, if he doesn't go, it means that Su Jin doesn't mean enough, and Hu Daren has no reason to stop the consensual matter. Before letting go, there is a desolation in his heart that sees everything and is alone in the world.

Hu Daren looked at the "immature" faces of the young people who were ignorant of the world, and sang the March of the Volunteers for them in his heart in advance.

There was laughter and laughter in the room, and Su Jin was cooking the spoon outside.

When the aroma of vegetables was wafting in the air, the young people still praised Su Jin's cooking skills innocently as always.

It was cold in the mountains, and there were not many dishes, so they were ready in a short while.A small table was set up in the room, and the young man happily served the dishes on the table.

The dishes, ignoring the burnt pieces, and adding the VIP filter, were barely considered good, and then they took a piece of chopsticks and stuffed them into their mouths, and their complexions changed a few times from blue to red, coincidentally The ground turned waxy yellow, and Hu Daren even saw the ghosts emerging from their heads.

Su Jin said embarrassedly: "I haven't cooked for a long time, maybe it's not good, you guys try it first, if it doesn't taste good, I'll make it again."

"..." The faces of the young people were ashen, their tongues were numb from the strange taste, and their speech was in knots: "No, no need, good... delicious, really good eat."

"Then why are you crying?"

"It's so delicious, I'm touched."

"Oh, then eat more." With a kind face, Su Jin pushed the food towards them, looking at the poor and helpless young people expectantly.

Hu Daren covered his eyes, unable to bear to look any further.

When the door opened, Yan Xilin entered the room with a chill in his body, and his long hair was blown up by the wind, almost dazzlingly black.The young people seemed to see the savior, and quickly got up to meet him, tongue tied: "Brother Yan, how is it? Have you caught it?"

"I caught it, it's outside." Yan Xilin's eyes fell on Su Jin, whose back was facing him, and his expression instantly softened into a mess.

"Wow, I'll go out and have a look, I haven't seen what a nightmare looks like yet."

"Me too, me too, take me with you." The young people did everything they could to escape Su Jin's clutches.

Most of the people in the house left, only a few stayed behind to wait on them, secretly hiding aside to rinse their mouths, and even after rinsing for a long time, they couldn't forget the smell that made them feel like they were dying.

"Ah Jin made this?" Yan Xilin sat in front of Su Jin and took out a pair of new chopsticks. can swallow.

"It's delicious, Ah Jin's cooking skills have improved."

"..."

A big boss is a big boss, with some abilities that ordinary people can't even dream of.

Yan Xilin ate some of everything, without blinking her eyes, but Su Jin just sat beside her in silence, and asked softly after a long time: "Is it really delicious?"

"Well, it's really delicious." Yan Xilin responded with a smile, and seeing Su Jin coming over with his chopsticks outstretched, he also wanted to taste it, so he couldn't help but move the dish to his side.

Su Jin's hand holding the chopsticks froze in the air, Yan Xilin changed the subject and said, "The taste seems to have changed a bit, is this a new technique that Ah Jin has researched?"

"Hmm." Su Jin took out a small porcelain bottle in her pocket. Inside was a powdery substance that was so black that nothing could be seen. Diarrhea.

"This is?" Comrade Yan Xilin asked the question on behalf of the people.

"Because I often forget to put seasonings in cooking, either salt or monosodium glutamate, so I simply put all the seasonings together, which not only contains salt and monosodium glutamate, but also chili powder, pepper powder, sugar, peppercorns Flour, cornstarch, five-spice powder, etc., and I even searched the proportions on Baidu.” Su Jin introduced the completion points, and said with a little pride: “In this way, when cooking, you only need to sprinkle the seasoning once, which is convenient. It’s easy, I think manufacturers can wholesale this kind of thing on a large scale.”

"..."

Hu Daren said coolly beside him: "Then you are really a clever little ghost."

"Congratulations." Su Jin put away the miraculous seasoning as if she was a treasure, but she didn't notice that Yan Xilin's gentle expression was cracked.

And the young people present were also petrified.

The terrible thing is not that he is not good at cooking, but that he will develop some weird gadgets if he is not good at cooking.

There was a commotion outside the house, and someone came in with an oil lamp in hand, dispelling the darkness in the house with a warm yellow light. It turned out that it was completely dark before we knew it.

Su Jin seemed to wake up from a dream, and finally remembered that "Master" was still outside, and didn't know how it was going to be tricked by Mo Yan. Fortunately, the nightmare couldn't do anything to the dreamer, otherwise they really came to "Master" and his old man The body was collected.

After groping to the room where Mo Yan was imprisoned, the master was taking a nap outside the room. It had been many days since he had not seen him, and he was getting older. He seemed to be unable to stand the severe winter cold and was coughing uncontrollably.

Su Jin walked over with light steps, took off her coat and covered her master, and when she was about to withdraw her hand, a wrinkled hand held his, it was a bit cold, the thin flesh covered the bones, and it was so tight It hurts a bit.

"Master?" The night sky in the mountains seems to be very close, and the stars are much brighter than those in the city. The dots flicker in the night, as if you can pick them up with your hands.

Yan Xilin also came out at some point, took off her overcoat and put it on him. Since the clothes were one size too big, Su Jin looked thinner, with a kind of frailty that could not stand the wind and waves.But Yan Xilin knew that even after thousands of generations, the arrogance in Su Jin's bones has never changed.

Master opened his eyes and looked at Su Jin, there was still some clarity in his cloudy eyes: "Ah Jin, do you blame me?"

"The apprentice never blamed the master." Su Jin sat beside the master, held the dry hand with her backhand, tightened it tightly, and said, "Whether it is Master Yuan Chen or you, they are both my master."

Meng Jiangyao looked at the child in front of him, stretched out his hand tremblingly and rubbed his soft hair, and sighed: "Until now, I am still thinking about whether the present world we live in is also someone else's nightmare world."

The night wind blew, and the delicate flowers on the wall trembled. After the wind passed, the flower branches straightened again. The master withdrew his hand and rubbed his temples, and waved: "That's all, you go, sleep well tonight, wait for me and you Mo Yan said a few words, maybe when you wake up tomorrow morning, you will all be relieved from here."

The master was no longer as crazy as before, no matter how cloudy the eyeballs were, the inside was still clear, Su Jin took two steps back and bowed to him, knowing in her heart that after returning, their relationship between master and apprentice would be broken.

In the past few days, Su Jin has been in a state of despair, she doesn't know when she left, and when she came to her senses, she was already lying on the bed, Yan Xilin had just finished taking a bath, she got into the tent and hugged him in her arms, He rubbed his head against Su Jin's shoulder, but said nothing.

It was foggy at night, and the roads in the mountains were difficult to walk. It was inconvenient to go back by car, so they set up a few simple tents in the mountains to barely make it through the night.

A few young people are quite proficient in this area of ​​business ability. It can be seen that they often run outside, set up tents at a very fast speed, and re-cook a meal during this period.There is still noise outside the tent. After the investigation by the Nightmare Bureau, most of the people here are from the present world. Although the young people have not recalled the memory of the present world, they have all sent a message. They firmly believe that .

I don't know who got the wine from where, the strong aroma of the wine floated in through the gap, and the roar of laughter and yelling was squeezed into the ears together, Su Jin closed her eyes, but could still outline the scene outside.

Hu Daren said a nasty joke at the top of his voice, and everyone laughed together again.

A pair of cool hands covered his ears, blocking the noise from the outside. Su Jin opened her eyes, facing Yan Xilin's soul-stirring eyes, her mind couldn't help shaking.

This person can always catch him by surprise when he loses his guard, and his army collapses like a mountain.

Time couldn't help but slowed down when the two met their gazes, flowing slowly, as if they wanted to stop time at this moment.The light of the fire came in faintly through a layer of tent, and there was another burst of laughter, Su Jin took the lead to look away.

"Tomorrow, can I go back?" For some reason, the two of them could talk together forever, but they lost their words at this moment. Su Jin thought for a long time before finding such a low-quality topic.

"Well, A Jin, I have something to tell you." Yan Xilin held Su Jin tightly in his arms, and lowered his voice as if he was afraid of disturbing time: "My real name is Yu Ji, this name It was taken by God the Father, sacrifice, which means the week of being sacrificed."

Su Jin nodded, her eyes fell on the tear mole under his eyelids, and after a while, she said: "Understood, brother."

Hearing this address, Yan Xilin's body stiffened for a moment, a little unbearable, biting the tip of his tongue to dispel the imminent thoughts: "Why do you use the name Yan Xilin if you don't ask me?"

Su Jin raised her hand, put her arms around Yan Xilin's thin waist, rested her head on his chest, shook her head, and said, "When that day comes, I will know."

There is no escape.

Before falling asleep, in the face of the coming present, what Su Jin thought was, how many people will disappear in a certain mountain in tomorrow's world, one can only imagine that the driver was thankful and thankful for the money. The temptation to run away early.

Yan Xilin gently covered Su Jin's ears, and she couldn't bear to blink her eyes. She stared at Su Jin's side face for an unknown amount of time, knowing that in the middle of the night, the hustle and bustle outside gradually subsided.

Ye Mu disintegrated, the surrounding scene twisted and elongated, and finally fell into the boundless darkness completely, raising fine dust of light.

In the middle of the darkness, the two seemed to be glowing. Yan Xilin hugged Su Jin in his arms and was reluctant to let go. He lowered his head and pressed a kiss on the soft lips, expressing his endless affection and tenderness.

"My name is Yu Ji, the sacrificial offering."

The author has something to say:

There is a big secret hidden in the name Yan Xilin!
