The nights in this deserted village are never peaceful.

Lu Wenjuan said that guests who entered here by mistake before would become more and more weird after staying for a few days. They were impulsive, irritable, irritable, and sad. It seemed that all the things deep in their hearts would be brought out by this land.

They were not surprised when they heard this. After all, it was much more troublesome for Hui Gu to climb out of the village than from the cage vortex.

Lu Wenjuan also said that most of the guests had trouble at night. She once saw a woman rush out of the door like a devil on a rainy night, and she couldn't stop her.

"The results of it?"

"Have you seen what's outside the door?" Lu Wenjuan said, "When it rains, not only will those things crawl out, but the outside of the door will also become like a mirror. As a result, she rushed out and never came back."

Like a mirror because there is death outside the door. As for why he rushed out as if he was possessed by an evil spirit, I'm afraid it has something to do with his inner demons.

So from then on, Lu Wenjuan gave dumpling soup to everyone who accidentally entered here. She added medicine in it to make people sleep harder.

"No matter what, it's much better than dying without a complete body and disappearing into the world without any explanation." Lu Wenjuan said.

Her original intention was very good, but unfortunately, the carefully prepared dumpling soup did not work for them when they heard it. They should wake up or wake up, and fall into the inner demon or the inner demon.

So when night fell, the group of people in the room began to worry——

Room allocation is a problem.

Of the four rooms above Lu Wenjuan, Aunt Zhang must have one to herself, and no one would dare to share a room with her. Zhou Xu was probably taken away by the village chief as a sacrifice, and as an elder, Zhang Yalin must keep an eye on him, so they both

between.

Originally, the remaining four people were easily divided. When I heard that Xia Qiao and his "brothers" were living in the same room, Xie Wen and Lao Mao were living in the same room. It was natural.

But Xia Qiao rebelled at the critical moment and wanted to sleep with Lao Mao.

When I heard about it, I stared at him and said two words: "Reason."

Xia Qiao's fear was justified: "Brother, you know, I am prone to inner demons. According to the experience of the previous night, the inner demons are all related to you. What if I open my eyes and there are several of you lying next to me...

"

He tried to imagine the scene of the fake corpse, and said seriously: "Then I might just go there on the spot."

When hearing: "..."

Xia Qiao: "Even if I don't go through, I can do anything when I'm scared out of my mind, and I'll break pieces. I don't know if I'll even beat or kick me. If I can't tell who is who, then

He’s going to die.”

That's really terrible.

Because the best way to deal with inner demons is to break them up as soon as they first appear. If there is any hesitation or soft-heartedness, it is likely that they will never come out again. The longer it lasts, the harder it will be to distinguish illusion from reality.

This has nothing to do with strength or weakness. Even when I hear it, I am a little afraid of this kind of thing.

After all, the most difficult thing to control is the human heart, and no one wants to become crazy.

Therefore, Wen Shi could not refute Xia Qiao's reasons, but this did not mean that Wen Shi did not want to beat him.

As a result, this man spoke again: "Fortunately, brother, you don't have any inner demons, so you don't have to avoid anything. I think Boss Xie is fine, and it just so happens that you two share the same room."

When hearing: "..."

The time in the cage continued to speed up and slow down, and in the blink of an eye, it was midnight.

It was raining outside, and the people in other rooms had already fallen asleep without realizing it. Even Zhou Xu, who was related to the mountain god, was snoring moderately. I don’t know if it was the effect of Lu Wenjuan’s bowl of dumpling soup, or whether it was the effect of Lu Wenjuan’s bowl of dumpling soup.

A unique effect of this village at night.

Everyone is dreaming...

Except Wen Shi and Xie Wen.

They stayed in the corner room on the second floor, one standing by the old-fashioned carved window, the other leaning against the bed frame with his arms folded... practicing Zen.

There was an unspeakable silence in the room, like a silent confrontation.

The rain pattered obliquely on the blurred window glass, and the smell of earth and moisture could be heard through the gaps in the wooden frame. When I smelled it, I glanced out the window, but what I saw was the shadow inside the house.

Xie Wen lowered his eyes, as if looking at him, or just looking at a certain point in the void.

The glass is covered with water vapor and cannot be distinguished clearly.

When I heard this, I squinted my eyes and heard Xie ask: "Why don't you sleep when you are sleepy?"

He was indeed sleepy, his eyelids were heavy, and he was holding on weakly, so he almost didn't think about it when he replied: "Tell me why."

Xie Wen was stunned for a moment.

Only then did he realize what he had said.

Xia Qiao just said in the afternoon that if you don't have inner demons, you don't have to avoid anything. With his words now, he almost handed himself over. As long as he follows a few more words, those hidden things will be revealed without protection.

.

This is really not what he usually says.

It's just that this cage is too special and makes people become weird. Or maybe it's the impulse of sleepiness that reveals a little bit of their true intentions.

After saying this, he regretted it.

Because some things in this world are like this. If you don't expose it, you can still say that you are tacitly understanding it. If you expose it, maybe even the tacit understanding is just a shadow.

Wen Shi turned his eyes away and frowned. Just as he was about to change his mind, through the window glass, he noticed that Xie Wen's reaction was a little strange.

After hearing what he asked back, his eyes hesitated for a moment, and seemed to turn to the side, not knowing where he was looking.

I glanced there when I heard it, but there was nothing there.

When he came back to his senses, Xie Wen was already close at hand.

He came silently, his breathing stagnated when he heard it, and the lines of his neck tensed.

"you……"

When I heard this, I almost thought I was possessed by the inner demon again, and subconsciously looked towards the bed frame.

There is no one there.

This should be true. Thank you for asking.

But this thank you question is indeed a bit strange. To be precise, since the night fell and there was no one else around, he was different from the daytime. He became particularly silent and often fell into a trance for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking.

.

Sometimes when I say something, he always waits for a few seconds before answering. I don’t know if he is sleepy or something else...

So much so that I felt a little unsure when I smelled it.

He looked at the people close at hand and whispered: "Thank you for asking?"

Xie Wen didn't answer immediately, but just raised his hand and touched Wen Shi's shoulder near the window slit. The T-shirt fabric was stained by the fog on the glass and was a bit damp.

When I heard it, I moved my lips, but didn't make a sound. Because the other person stood too close, so close that when I raised my eyes, I would scan his lip line and the bridge of his nose.

Xie Wen twirled the moisture on his fingertips, glanced at the heavy rain outside the window, and suddenly said, "Call me again."

This scene almost overlaps with the confusing dream many years ago, except that there are no tangled threads between the fingers.

After a while, he finally said, "Thank you for asking."

His voice was mixed with the sound of rain, low.

Xie Wen's dark eyes widened, and the vague hesitation before finally disappeared. He nodded as if he had finally confirmed something.

When Wen Shi looked at his reaction, he suddenly remembered something and glanced towards the void somewhere in the room. Xie Wen always looked there before when he was distracted.

He suddenly came up with a guess. Although he thought the possibility was very low, he couldn't help but try: "Is there someone over there?"

Xie Wen smiled lowly and said, "You are deceiving me."

He stepped aside and took a step, his expression and words returning to normal. It was as if everything that had just happened was just an inadvertent phantom, passing by in a flash.

Wenshi looked at him: "Then what were you doing just now?"

Xie Wen was silent for a moment and said, "You are different from usual. Let me confirm."

Confirm what?

Are you confirming whether I have entered the illusion, or are you confirming yourself?

This cage really makes people impulsive. When he heard it, he almost asked these questions. Fortunately, before he could open his mouth, there was sudden movement on the second floor.

It was as if some shelf had fallen to the ground, and the copper basin jingled and clanged, which was so sudden and shocking in the night.

"It should be next door." Xie Wen raised his eyes and glanced in the direction of the sound.

The heavy sleepiness made the noise completely disturbed. When he heard it, his face turned cold and he stretched out his hand to open the door.

The heavy dampness hit my face.

The corridor was wet from the rain, reflecting the shadows of the two people. Wenshi strode to the next door and knocked heavily on the door.

Zhou Xu and Zhang Yalin were sleeping here, so the movement just now was really not good.

Zhang Lan also came out wearing a coat. She was not wearing makeup at the moment, and her long hair was loose. She actually had a quiet temperament.

Unfortunately, as soon as he opened his mouth, none of this temperament was left: "Stop being so polite, just kick the door if you knock on it!"
