37, frost and snow(1/2)

The two unlucky guys, Sun Siqi and Xia Qiao, happened to be next to Dadong. Shen Manyi's swaying skirt swept over their legs, maybe it was a psychological effect, and there was a rotten smell in their faces.

Sun Siqi: "Ugh——"

It was the first time he encountered such a scene and the first time he smelled such a smell. His physiological reaction could not be suppressed. His movement was louder than Dadong's. Shen Manyi's eyes slowly turned to him, her gaze a little... Resentment.

Xia Qiao was scared out of his mind. But his brain circuit was very strange. While he was in a state of confusion, he dragged Sun Siqi back, and at the same time he did not forget to apologize to the "ghost": "I'm sorry, sorry, sorry, he didn't mean that -"

Sun Siqi made another soul-stirring cry: "Ugh——"

Xia Qiao: "..."

"Stop fucking throwing up, hold it in!" Zhou Xu covered his mouth, and together with Xia Qiao, dragged him towards Wen Shi. As a result, their steps were too chaotic, and the three of them stumbled and fell on the sofa covered with white cloth. inside.

The white cloth was lifted up and fell down by the wind, covering them.

"Fuck, this broken sofa is hurting my ribs!" Zhou Xu yelled.

"Hey, hey, don't sit down, this is my face, wait until I get up." Xia Qiao also whined.

"I don't want to vomit either, I can't control it." Sun Siqi was about to cry.

Shen Manyi stared at them and wanted to move forward. She saw Dadong hurriedly pulling on the other puppet strings. With a clear whistle, the dark golden bird flapped its wings and suddenly blocked the way. In front of everyone.

The wind it stirred up was so powerful that Shen Manyi took two steps back. Only then did Dadong regain his composure and let out a shuddering sigh of relief.

Actually, I really don’t blame them for their reaction.

The appearance of Miss Shen Manyi was indeed scary. When Wen Shi thought of how she had just been folded into a ball, she always felt that her real body should be stuffed into a small space and not allowed to stretch.

She must have been bored for a long time, and her body already showed signs of decay. Her facial features were drooped due to the loose skin and flesh, making her eyes look small and the corners of her mouth turned down, making it impossible to tell the original appearance.

Half of the bones in her palms were exposed, and the joints of her wrists and arms were particularly badly rotted, probably caused by long-term twisting and bending.

One of her shoulder straps was torn, and the whole dress was tilted on her body, exposing half of her shoulders. The fabric was badly damaged, and if it was pulled a few more times, she might not be able to cover her body.

Shen Manyi lowered her head.

There were too many people who were frightened, and she was looking at herself.

"It's ugly." She muttered softly.

The next second, thick, dark smoke poured out of her body.

The three candle lights flickered a few times, and everyone could feel that the room was getting colder and getting colder.

The three boys under the white cloth of the sofa felt keenly the sudden increase in gloomy resentment, and they froze there, not daring to move.

Dadong swallowed his saliva and tightened his fingers controlling the "Golden Winged Dapeng". While he was wary of Shen Manyi, he winked at the person behind Shen Manyi.

Seeing that this little resentful spirit was about to break out, the eldest disciple of the Shen family was unaware of it and did not know how to avoid it.

Dadong didn't dare to say anything, so he could only take advantage of Shen Manyi not raising her head and use an exaggerated mouth shape to say to the Shen family's eldest disciple: "Come here! Come over here!"

The eldest disciple may be blind and cannot move at all.

Shen Manyi is not tall, anyone standing behind her can look down on her head.

Her hair was jet black but lackluster, and was combed in double twists. The slit in the middle was skewed, and there was a bald patch, with exposed flesh and bloody scabs. It must have been torn during pulling.

Sometimes she felt a little cold there, and sometimes she felt a little dull pain. But most of the time, she was unconscious, as if she was used to it.

She grabbed the hem of her skirt and was trying to remember its original color. Suddenly she felt a hand reach out and lift up the skirt that had slid to her shoulders.

Then, a slender cotton thread passed through the fabric. It moved very flexibly as if it were alive, and tied a knot on both sides to hang the shaky skirt.

Then it lost its vitality and became an ordinary piece of cotton thread, barely replacing the rotten shoulder strap.

Shen Manyi stared at the cotton thread, stunned for a while, and then raised her head.

Her neck must have been twisted, and it almost turned over when she raised it up. She giggled, maybe trying to scare people on purpose, but found that the person being scared was indifferent.

She saw Wen Shi's thin and beautiful chin, and saw his fingers that had just been retracted from the thread. Because he was very tall, she couldn't see his face.

So Shen Manyi's head turned back and hung for a while, then slowly straightened back up. During the movement, her bones made a soft cracking sound, which made people's hair stand on end.

She turned her head again, glanced behind her, and saw Wen Shi's expressionless face. It had nothing to do with the word "gentle", but it was indeed this person who helped her lift her skirt.

"Your knot is not as beautiful as Mama Cai's." Shen Manyi suddenly said.

"..."

There was nothing to say when he heard that. He was not interested in competing with Cai's mother in mending. After all, for thousands of years, the thread in his hand was only used for puppet manipulation and strangulation. He was very fierce and had never done such work.

He had nothing to say to the child, but the other person did - Xie Wen came over unexpectedly, bent down and said to Shen Manyi: "Tell me, what makes it look as good as your mother Cai's?"

Shen Manyi flattened her mouth unhappily, pointed to the rotten shoulder strap and said, "This skirt is goose yellow. There should be a bow here. It's very big. Mother Cai made it for me."

Xie Wen nodded, straightened up and said to Wen Shi, "There is still a bow tie missing. Tie one for her."

He didn't even raise his eyes when he heard it, and said one word in a deep voice: "Get out."

Shen Manyi said dullly: "I don't want him to tie it, my bow just fell off."

Xie asked: "Where did it fall?"

Shen Manyi was silent for a long time and said: "I don't know, I have been looking for it. But no one helped me. Mother Cai and Mr. Li were all gone. No one played with me, and no one helped me find it. I could only Let’s play with you.”

Xie asked: "When did it fall?"

Shen Manyi lowered her head and thought for a while, then slowly raised her head.

She said: "When you fold me up."

The room was quiet for a moment.

After a while, Shi suddenly asked, "Who broke it?"

Shen Manyi's dark eyes suddenly turned to him, staring motionless.

When I heard about it, I asked again: "Who folded it?"

Shen Manyi opened her mouth. At that moment, her round mouth seemed to say "I", but before she could make a sound, she tightened her mouth again. After a long time, she shook her head and said, "I don't know." .”

He frowned when he smelled it.

Me? Or my brother?

He always felt that the diary was a bit strange, and wanted to confirm it with Shen Manyi. But judging from the shape of her mouth, it might be consistent with the direction of the diary.

I originally thought this might be Shen Manyi's cage. But the way she was hesitating and speaking was restricted, it probably wasn't it.

At least not entirely.

Is it another double yellow cage? But if it is a double yellow cage, Shen Manyi obviously does not have the upper hand, how can she stand here safely?

Questions are questions. Since Shen Manyi came out first, she must be solved first.

"I want my bow, I want a beautiful one." Shen Manyi repeated it seriously, her high-pitched voice echoing throughout the room, "Why don't Mama Cai and the others come to help me? I'm looking for it." It’s been a long time, why don’t they come?”

"No, him, if they don't come, we will come." Seeing that the black air around her was getting stronger and stronger, and her tone of voice became more and more weird, Dadong tightened his grip on his golden-winged roc and said quickly, "Let's find him." , we’ll look for it. Don’t worry.”

He hurriedly walked around the room, but he heard Lao Mao say: "We just came all the way, and we have looked through every room, but there are no bows."

Dadong frowned and pointed at him, telling him not to talk nonsense: "What if there is something missing? Don't worry, there are so many people looking for it together, are you afraid that you can't find it?"

Lao Mao added: "She said she had been looking for it for a long time and still couldn't find it."

Dadong: "You——"

Which side are you from!

He stared at Lao Mao and mouthed his words, fearing that Shen Manyi would see him.

After saying that, he turned to look at Xie Wen. He wanted to glare at him at first, but for some reason he didn't dare to stare at Xie Wen.

"Do you care about your store clerk?" Dadong said, "I'm unblocking the cage. Are you so troublesome?"

Xie Wen said: "You can control it, but I think Lao Mao is right."

Although he looked at Dadong, he tilted his head slightly when he spoke, obviously speaking to Wen Shi.

"I know." Wen Shi whispered.

Indeed, he also felt that there was nothing wrong with what Lao Mao said.

If it was in a normal place, such as under the bed, at the foot of a cabinet, etc., why would Shen Manyi be trapped for so long without being able to get it?

"Are you sure you're still here?" Wen Shi asked Shen Manyi.

The little girl nodded: "Yes."

Her answer was so sure, as if she subconsciously knew where the bow was all along, but she just didn't want to take it, or didn't dare to take it.

She is almost the owner of the cage. She can come and go freely here, walking with a group of people to play. Is there any place she doesn't dare to go?

Wen Shi has rich experience, and the answer is obvious when he thinks of it - almost all dead people are afraid of one place, and that is the location of his body.

Because no one wants to see themselves dead.

This coincided with their goal. The reason why he and Xie Wen found this bedroom was because there were traces of carpet replacement. As expected, Shen Manyi's real body was in this room.

But where is the small and crowded space where Shen Manyi needs to be folded like that?

In the cupboard? Behind the mirror? In the wall?
