"squeak--"

The hinge of the wooden door made a slight sound,

No matter how hard Xiuxiu tried, she could never open the door.

She was stunned,

He turned back to look at the woman with her back to him,

The woman continued to sob,

After sobbing for a while,

‘She’ said in a low tone: “Since I can’t find any other place to stay, and I don’t mind sharing the same room with my husband’s corpse, let’s rest here for the night.”

Xiuxiu blinked,

She doesn't want to stay here,

If she could leave, she would have opened the door and walked away.

But this door cannot be pushed open.

The woman with her back to the mute woman said a few words and then fell silent.

Occasionally wipe my tears with my sleeve.

When Xiuxiu saw her, she made no other move.

stayed for a while,

He sat back on the bench.

She looked at the raised human figure lying on the earthen bed, and she didn't know what she was thinking in her little head.

The woman wiped her tears for a while,

He spoke again: "Sir, why don't you take a rest?"

She didn't wait for Xiuxiu to answer anything, and then sang the plaintive song: "At one o'clock in the morning, I was falling asleep, and suddenly I heard the barking of a yellow dog..."

With this song,

There was really a dog barking outside the window.

The oil lamp on the table swayed with firelight, making the shadows of the woman and the furnishings in the room sway and overlap.

The woman's back suddenly looks bigger and smaller,

It seems a bit psychedelic.

suddenly,

A woman dressed the same as her walked out from where the shadows overlapped,

There are no facial features on her face,

long hair,

The white embroidered shoes under the skirt moved gently,

It's like stepping on the melody of a song: "It's time to fall asleep at two o'clock..."

The faceless woman walked up to Xiuxiu, her pale palms flicked back and forth in front of Xiuxiu, and a needle-like sound penetrated into Xiuxiu's mind: "Sir, why don't you take a rest?

Go to sleep quickly,

Take a rest now..."

Xiuxiu looked at the palms waving back and forth in front of her eyes,

She opened her mouth,

Can't make a sound.

In fact, she wasn't sleepy at all. She had slept in the platoon car for a long time, and now she couldn't fall asleep even if she closed her eyes.

But she can't speak,

Then he made gestures with the faceless woman,

Tell the other person that you are not sleepy.

The Faceless Woman seemed unable to understand her gestures,

Still waving his hands in front of her.

She lowered her head,

Stop trying to make the other person understand what you mean.

Thinking about your own thoughts.

The shadows in the house spread their teeth and claws, overlapping one another, constantly intersecting at the feet of the faceless woman. She mechanically stretched out her hand in front of Xiuxiu, and the woman on the kang behind her sang more and more sadly.

The bed was laid down,

The bulging figure moved slightly, and one eye appeared from under the quilt, looking at Xiuxiu on the small bench.

Another deep male voice suddenly sounded from under the quilt: "Little girl, I will teach you a technique for awakening corpses - it can help you get through this predicament. You, how about you inherit my mantle?!"

I know you can't, can't speak!

Just make gestures with me, just gesture!"

Xiuxiu heard the male voice,

So he quickly shook his head.

She has a master, and the master is very good to her.

Become someone else’s disciple,

Doesn’t it mean that we can no longer be masters and disciples with our master?

"Why?

Don’t you want to live?!” The person who was lying down was in a very unstable state.

The voice is sometimes weak and sometimes high-pitched, giving people the feeling that they are out of breath and about to die.

The mute girl hesitated for a moment,

Nod,

The little hands began to make gestures.

She told the other party that she already had a master,

I won't join another apprenticeship.

"..."

The people in the bedroom were silent for a while,

Suddenly he sighed and said: "It seems this is fate.

In this case, I don’t force you to worship me as your teacher. I will still teach you the method, but if you escape alive, you must work with your teacher to send my body to the fire patrol shop!

Is this okay?"

Xiuxiu thought for a while and shook her head.

Making hand gestures - she didn't know where the fire patrol shop was, and she didn't know if her master and brothers were willing to take her there.

The man who was lying down was a little angry when he saw this: "This won't work, that won't work either! How on earth can it be done?!"

Xiuxiu pursed her lips and said nothing,

The faceless woman in front of him was still waving her hands.

He kept urging her to sleep.

But now she is less sleepy.

"I don't have much time!

That’s it!

I don’t ask you to do anything else - as long as you can escape from here with my body, that’s fine.

After escaping alive,

Ask your teacher,

Can you take my body back to the fire patrol shop?

I won’t treat you badly—if you send my body back to the Fire Patrol Shop, I will give you the shed ghost skin as a reward!”

The man lying down kept talking,

There was great pain hidden in the voice.

Xiuxiu listened to his words,
