I woke up early the next morning and looked at my watch. It was only five o'clock. Then, I looked at Second Brother and Hei Zi. They were sleeping soundly, so I didn't disturb them. Perhaps they had been too tired these past few days, so he let them sleep a little longer.
I was afraid of waking them up, so I tiptoed to the front hall. When I arrived at the front hall, I saw that Chen Qi was still sleeping soundly. It was a beautiful pleasure to see Chen Qi sleeping.
I was about to go to the toilet, but when I saw Chen Qi for the last time, I was scared out of my wits. Because Chen Qi was wearing a red embroidered shoe!
I don't know what happened, but after I saw the embroidered shoes, my feet didn't listen to me and started trembling. I lost my balance and fell to the ground. He accidentally broke a porcelain bottle beside him.
This sound woke Chen Qi up. When she opened her eyes and saw me, she asked in surprise,"Brother Shuang, what's wrong?"
After hearing her question, I came back to my senses and said,"Qiqi, your leg. On your feet."
Chen Qi turned around and looked at her feet. She also saw the embroidered shoe, but her reaction was far less than mine.
Chen Qi took off the embroidered shoes and said,"This is not the first time. I don't know why it's like this again. Brother Shuang. Now I'm really getting more and more afraid!”
I stood up and said manly,"Qiqi, don't worry. As long as I don't die, I'll definitely get to the bottom of this matter. I won't let these strange things bother you anymore!”
After hearing my words, Chen Qi was very touched. It's still early, so I'll let her sleep for a while. I couldn't fall asleep after I went to the toilet. When Hei Zi and Second Brother woke up, I followed them.
Hu Zi is indeed a pitifully quiet person. I've always felt that Second Brother is already quiet enough. However, compared to Hu Zi, Second Brother was many times more talkative.
When we sleep, Hu Zi will sleep with us. When we wake up, he will wake up with us. He was so quiet that he could be ignored.
After breakfast, I told them that I saw Chen Qi wearing embroidered shoes again in the morning. "Why don't we burn these shoes? If we burn them, there'll be nothing left." It saves everyone the trouble!"
"Burn it?" Second Brother asked. Hu Zi had thrown these embroidered shoes away so many times that they were still with Chen Qi. If he burned them, Chen Qi might even be wearing something else the next day!”
After Liu said that, he also felt that what he said was wrong. He looked at Chen Qi and said,"Chen Qi, I didn't mean anything else! Don't let your imagination run wild. Actually, what I meant was that Blackie's idea was a bad idea!”
Chen Qi knew that her second brother did not do it on purpose, so she did not say anything and smiled at him.
I looked at the few of us, but no one could come up with a good idea. I looked at Hu Zi and asked,"Hu Zi, what do you think?"”
Hu Zi's answer was even more direct. Hu Zi shook his head at me. Then, there was silence. Looking at Hu Zi, I was speechless. There was actually someone in this world who didn't like to talk!
I looked at everyone and continued," What I'm thinking is that this thing has become strange again. If we want to figure out what's going on, we have to figure out the origin of this thing. As the saying goes, knowing yourself and knowing your enemy will never defeat you! Since this thing came out of the Black Wind Ravine, then let's take this thing to the Black Wind Ravine and find out!”
After listening to my words, Second Brother felt that it was very reasonable. We should go to where this thing came from and find out what's going on. This might be the best way to find out something.
Hu Zi nodded in agreement. After listening to my opinion, Chen Qi said,"Brother Shuang, you're right, but Hu Zi and I have been to the Black Wind Ravine once before. The things inside can't be explained by science.”
Chen Qi was right. The Black Wind Ravine was too strange. If we rashly went there, it was still a question mark whether we could come out alive.
However, after hearing Chen Qi's words, Blackie finally found a soulmate. "Yes, yes," Blackie said. Chen Qi is right. That Black Wind Ravine is too strange. It's best if we don't go.”After Blackie finished speaking, we and Second Brother gave Blackie a disdainful look at the same time. Blackie was speechless. She said to herself,"I didn't say anything. I didn't say anything."”
Chen Qi chuckled when she saw Blackie's expression.
"Since everyone thinks so, then let's go prepare the equipment to enter Black Wind Ravine today, and then go tomorrow morning. We'll try to return to Lakshmi Village before dark.”Seeing that everyone had no objections, I said so.
Blackie asked someone to buy four blades. Although we were going to find out about the embroidered shoe, we probably met some ghosts and spirits. However, it was good to have it in his hands to boost his courage.
Second Brother drove to town to buy a high-brightness charger, two bundles of rope, band-aids, and other items. He even got us a few amulets.
Under Chen Qi's strong request, I shaved off the beard that I had grown for a long time. Chen Qi said that I'm still quite a good-looking young man after shaving my beard. Hearing this, Second Brother and Blackie laughed so hard that they almost fell to the ground.
Everything is almost ready. Let's rest for the night and go to Black Wind Ravine to take a look at it tomorrow morning.
However, an accident happened at night.
When we were all sleeping on the bed, Chen Qi's screams came from outside. When the four of us heard Chen Qi's shout, we all ran out.
When we went out, we saw the embroidered shoes in Chen Qi's hands. To be more precise, it was no longer an embroidered shoe, because the one in Chen Qi's hand was a black shoe.
When we came to Chen Qi's side and saw the embroidered shoes in this state, we were all very surprised.
Seeing that we had all come out, Chen Qi held the black shoes in her hand and said,"Just now, I packed my things and wanted to lie down to sleep, but at that moment, I heard a loud thunder outside and it scared me. I called out. But when I lowered my head, the shoe was in my hand.：“
After hearing what Chen Qi said, we can basically be sure that the embroidered shoes and my red undergarment are definitely the same thing.
I took out my black cloth and said,"Look, this is the so-called red undergarment. A few nights ago, we were the same as you. After hearing the thunder, this red undergarment turned into this color.”
Chen Qi saw the black cloth in my hand and then looked at the black shoes in her hand. "What should we do now?”
I didn't say anything. Second Brother said," If I'm not wrong, there must be something on your shoes. Now that the thing on your shoes has escaped, it seems that something big will definitely happen when we go to Black Wind Valley tomorrow morning."”
When Chen Qi heard her second brother's words, she fell into deep thought. When I saw that everyone was like this, I said,"It's fine. When we go to Black Wind Ravine tomorrow, we might be able to find out what happened. You guys go to sleep first. I'll stay here and watch over Qiqi. If anything happens, I'll call you.”
Although Hu Zi didn't talk much, it didn't mean he was stupid. After hearing what I said, he went back to the back room to sleep.
Hei Zi and Second Brother also saw through my feelings for Chen Qi. Before Hei Zi left, he whispered in my ear,"Do you still remember what Uncle-Master said? Don't be lustful!"
After Blackie finished speaking, he gave me a sinister smile before returning to the back room to sleep.
When Chen Qi heard that I wanted to stay and accompany her, she said,"Brother Shuang, I can take care of myself. You should go back to sleep too. We still have to go to Black Wind Ravine tomorrow.”
"It's okay, I don't want anything to happen to you outside. I'm here to watch you, so I'm relieved." You can sleep. I'll just sit here and you can sleep peacefully.”
Although she said that, how could Chen Qi fall asleep when a man and a woman were together? Chen Qi saw that I had decided to stay here and guard her, so she didn't force me to leave.
"Brother Shuang, do you know why Hu Zi doesn't talk much?" Chen Qi asked after lying down.”
When I heard Chen Qi say that, I was also very curious. I said,"I really want to know. This Hu Zi is pitifully quiet, but I think this person is very shrewd!”
Chen Qi looked at the ceiling and said," Actually, Hu Zi is a good person. He used to be a mercenary in Yue Nan. Later on, he accidentally killed a girl during a military mission. The girl still had a smile on her face when she died. A peaceful smile. That smile touched Hu Zi's heart.”
"From then on, Hu Zi left Yuenan and started to wander around. When Hu Zi and I met, we were in a desolate mountain. At that time, I went to look for a bird that was rumored to be able to bring lost people out of any place. To be honest, I was lost in that barren mountain at that time. I stayed in that barren mountain for a week. I ate all the food and drank all the water.”
"Just when I was about to lose all hope, Hu Zi saved me. Later on, I found out that Hu Zi was also here for that bird. From then on, Hu Zi has been following me because he felt that I was very similar to the girl he accidentally killed. But he couldn't accept me because he couldn't forgive himself.”
"Just like that, Hu Zi accompanied me through the primeval forest and crossed the snowy plateau. Every time I was in danger, it was Hu Zi who saved me. He could sacrifice his life to save me. Sometimes, I really feel that I owe him too much. Maybe I won't be able to return it to him in this lifetime.”
When Chen Qi said this, I already understood. I understood that Chen Qi's heart had always been with Hu Zi. Although I felt a little sour in my heart, Chen Qi called me Brother Shuang now. I could only take it up as an older brother.
"Qiqi, I can tell that Hu Zi is a good man. I sincerely hope that he will accept you soon. Since you call me brother, I will give you my blessings from the bottom of my heart.”After saying this, my tears flowed out.
Fortunately, it was at night, so Chen Qi did not see my tears. Otherwise, it would be so embarrassing. A grown man would cry whenever he wanted.
When Chen Qi heard me say this, she was also very gratified.
Chen Qi turned to face me and said,"Brother Shuang, I know that you're all good people, but this matter really scares me. I'm really afraid that I'll die one day. If I really die, please help me take care of Hu Zi.”
After hearing what Chen Qi said, I said,"Qiqi, don't say that. We're all good people. How can a good person die? Don't worry, we'll get to the bottom of this sooner or later. We won't die because we're all young. Our lives will be better in the future.”
"Mhm, I hope so. Good people would always be protected by the heavens.”Chen Qi said.
Then, Chen Qi didn't say anything else. I didn't say anything either. Looking at such a cute girl in front of me, I really hated her for being reduced to this state by this ghost. I hate these so-called ghosts.
From this night onwards, I treated Chen Qi as my sister and family. I told myself silently that as long as I was alive, I would protect Chen Qi and not let her suffer any harm.
I watched as Chen Qi fell asleep. Unknowingly, the sky gradually brightened.
