The snow was so heavy that it was almost impossible to walk on the narrow mountain roads.
Ling Jiushi worry Ruan Baijie body cant stand, all the way to protect her. Xiao Ke beside not salty not light said your feelings very good.
"A girl." Ling Jiushi up the way, "take care of a little more always should be."
Ruan Baijie soft stick in Ling Jiushi up, toward Xiao Ke had a look, showing a delicate and pitiful expression.
Xiao Ke is expressionless look away, looks to her very dislike.
Finally arrived at the place to cut the tree, and the people began to act again. This time, we chose two less thick trees and planned to cut them down today. Although the weather is very cold, but after cutting the tree for a while, his body will be a little hot, Ling Jiu Shi reached out to unbutton his coat, stood for a while to rest.
Ruan Baijie leaning on the tree next to, eyes thoughtfully looked at Ling Jiu pick up.
Ling Jiushi glanced at her: "What are you looking at?"
Ruan Baijie: "The ass is very nice..."
Ling Jiu pickup was almost not in the hands of the axe flash waist, he turned his head to stare at Ruan Baijie: "What do you say?"
Ruan Baijie: "I didn't speak, you heard wrong."
Ling Jiushi up all doubting.
Ruan Baijie: "Or you repeat what I just said?"
Ling Jiushi: "..." This guy just got it right. He's embarrassed, isn't he?
While chatting, the two men cut down trees, occasionally taking turns to rest with other men in the team, and cut down two trees before it was completely dark.
Nothing happened when you cut the tree, but the handling has become a heart demon in everyone's heart.
The two teammates who were killed by the tree yesterday have been buried by deep snow, but even if they can't see the bodies, their sad appearance is still vivid.
"No more." "Put a rope on it and drag it along."
"Then who will tow it?" Zhang Zishuang asked.
Xiong Lacquer said: "The men are divided into two groups, both drag."
This way is very fair, everyone is doing the same thing, then the death is simply their own fate, no blame others.
Ling Jiu pickup did not talk, reached out and took the rope in bear's hands, followed another teammate who did not talk much, and began to drag the heavy wood hard. Dragging wood on the narrow mountain road is more difficult than the poles, but at least it is safe and will not happen as before.
With the lessons of the past, everyone was very vigilant along the way, until they left the mountain road and arrived at the carpenter's door, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Old man." Bear called, "We brought the wood."
The noise of crunching the wood inside the door stopped, and a moment later a wrinkled old face appeared through the crack of the door. The carpenter slowly pushed the door open and motioned for the wood to come in.
"Old man." Xiong Qi reached out to wipe the white snow foam on his face, "We brought the wood, and then went to the temple to worship, need to bring anything?"
The old man took a long smoke pole on his hand, exhaled the rich white smoke, and vaguely said, "Just take people with you."
Bear lacquer smell speech wrinkled frown.
"It must be at night." The old man said, "After dark, go into the temple one by one, worship and then come out."
Ruan Baijie heard this request, expression slightly changed. Ling Jiushi thought she would say something, but in the end she said nothing, just a subtle smile.
"Must we go in one by one?" Bear Paint seemed to find this request a little strange, "Can't we go in together?"
"Come in together?" The old man sneered, "You can try."
"Thank you very much." Bear paint did not continue to ask, turned to greet everyone to leave the carpenter's house.
Ling Jiu Shi always felt this person strange, he said: "The people in the village will not cheat us?"
"Some do." "But key people generally don't lie, and if the key clues they give us are wrong, then we have nothing to work on."
Just wait to die.
Ling nine pick up oh sound.
After taking the wood to the carpenter, they went back to their homes, lit a fire, and began to warm themselves and discuss the rest.
Ruan Baijie midway said want to go to the toilet out of a trip, the result did not come back for half a day.
Ling Jiushied up waited for a while, it is some worry about her, also ran out, the results did not see people in the toilet, he found a circle next to the house, but saw Ruan Baijie a person sitting next to the wellhead.
She seemed to have been sitting on the edge of the well for some time, and there was a white layer of snow on her head and body. Ling Jiushiup tentatively called her name, Ruan Baijie seems not to hear, at all dont look back.
"Ruan Baijie?" Ling Jiu Shi walked in her direction, "What are you doing? It's so cold outside."
"Don't move." Ruan Baijie suddenly made a sound. Ling Jiushi up at the foot stop.
Nguyen Baijie said: "Don't come near me." Her voice was very cold, completely lost the usual gentle water, "stay away from me."
Ling Jiushi said: "What happened?" He was keenly aware that the sudden change in Ruan Baijie's attitude had a great relationship with the well beside her.
Ruan Baijie shook her head and did not answer.
Ling Jiushied up the courage to Ruan Baijie took two steps, to see more clearly the distance of the wellhead. This is not good, see Ling Jiushi up after the body directly up and down a layer of goosebumps, I saw the wellhead was covered by a layer of black things, at first Ling Jiushi thought it was water, later found those things slowly creeping, just to make sure he did not see wrong - wellhead inside, full of black hair.
Ms. Ruan's feet seemed to be caught in the hair, and her body was unable to move.
"Don't come, Ling Jiu Shi." "You will be dragged down with you," Ms. Nguyen said.
"It doesn't matter." Ling Jiu pick voice gently, he is afraid that he is too loud, will disturb the black hair, "It doesn't matter, don't be afraid, I will help you."
Ruan Baijie turned to look at Lingjiu, her eyes did not before the soft water, at this time became a deep lake, dark let people inexplicable some fear, she said: "why."
Ling Jiu Shi said: "You wait for me for a while, hold on." He remembered something and ran toward the house.
Sitting in the living room bear paint saw the running Ling Jiu pick up, confused ask him what happened, Ling Jiu pick up did not care about him, went straight to the kitchen.
In the kitchen, he picked up some firewood, quickly lit it with flint, and then turned and ran outside.
Just a few minutes, but it seems that after centuries, Ling Jiu Shi's hands were shaking when he lit the fire, and he was afraid that when he returned to the edge of the well, there was only an empty well.
Fortunately, when he returned with the torch, Ruan Baijie was still sitting there.
"I'm back." Ling Jiushi up gasping, "After I come over, throw the fire into the well mouth, you grab my hand... Don't let go."
Ruan Baijie: "Aren't you afraid?"
Ling Jiushi up a leng: "Afraid of what?"
Ruan Baijie said: "Of course afraid of death."
Ling Jiushi smiled: "Who is not afraid of death?" But there is something worse than death." Although he still has some doubts about the world, he can still feel that Ruan Baijie has saved him several times. Had it not been for Ruan Baijie, he might have been one of the mangled corpses that first night.
"Well, I'm coming." Ling Jiushi up afraid of delay for a long time, Ruan Baijie physical strength, he slowly moved the pace, toward Ruan Baijie side walked in the past.
When he got close enough, he grabbed Ruan Baijie's hand, and then threw the torch in his hand into the hair that was still rolling.
"Ah -" a shrill scream, a woman's voice from the mouth of the well, the hair was lit by fire, violent peristalsis up, trance, Ling Jiushi up actually saw a pale face in the well. Although only for a moment, but Ling Jiu pickup still recognized this face he had seen in the house, is that night disguised as Ruan Baijie voice ghost appearance.
"Run!!" Ruan Baijie foot hair a break, Ling Jiu pick up took her began to run.
Ruan Baijie also did not resist, by Ling Jiushi up action, two people rushed into the room, crazy gasping for breath.
'What's the matter? Everyone in the room was surprised.
"There's something in the well..." Ling Jiu Shi gasped, "Everyone away from the well, Baijie was almost pulled down just now." After he finished speaking, he turned to Baijie and asked her if she was hurt.
"No." "I'm fine," Ms. Nguyen said.
Ling Jiushiup smell speech will look at her feet, but saw Ruan Baijie ankle above was wrapped out of a ring of red traces, still slowly dripping blood, he said: "This is called nothing?" Sit down and I'll dress you."
Ruan Baijie seems to find himself injured after this knowledge, she tilted her head, and finally listen to Ling Jiushi up words, obediently sat on a chair,
Ling Jiushi up in the room to find the wound medicine, half kneeling in front of Ruan Baijie, let her foot on his knee, began to slowly deal with the wound. His movement is very light, but also very serious, as if worried about Ruan Baijie hurt.
"Are you always so careful with girls?" Ruan Baijie suddenly asked.
"What does it have to do with girls?" Ling Jiu Shi casually replied, "Even if you are a man, is it that I will be rough to you?"
Ruan Baijie: "HMM..."
Ling Jiu pickup casually came to the sentence: "You can't really be a man, so tall, chest and so flat." But Ruan Baijie is really beautiful, at least Ling Jiushi will not believe that the world has this appearance of men.
"Yes," he said. Ruan Baijie sighs, "The chest is not as big as you."
Ling Jiushi: "..."
Ruan Baijie added a sentence: "The ass is not you."
Ling Jiushi: "... You talk so much."
Ruan Baijie giggled.
Ling Jiushi help Ruan Baijie deal with the wound, this just told the bear paint them. The other people's reaction is OK, but Xiong Qi and Xiao Ke's face are not good, obviously remembering the old man told them about the last step of making a coffin - filling the well.
What does a coffin have to do with a well? A custom unique to the village or a trap set by the carpenter.
Ruan Baijie seems to know what bear paint is thinking, smiling: "Don't think so much, how to do how to do, life this kind of things, are set."
Xiong Qi sighed: "We plan to go to the temple tonight, do you want to join us?"
"Me? Ruan Baijie said, "My foot hurts, I can't walk, Jiu Shi, you carry me."
Ling Jiushi nodded.
Xiao Ke said beside: "How can you not walk on such a little injury?"
Ruan Baijie smell speech is not angry, just a sweet smile, said little sister you more forgive a little, I am at home are spoiled, out of nature to be spoiled some.
Xiao Ke said: "You go to Ling Jiu pick up good temper to continue to toss it, the world in this door who do not know who is, why to be accustomed to you."
"Oh, I thought you and Bear Paint knew each other." Ruan Baijie said as if nothing had happened.
Who knows when this sentence comes out, Xiao Ke and bear paint's face have changed, and there is a vigilant color in the eyes.
Ling Jiushi up the moment felt the change of atmosphere.
'What do you mean by that? Xiao Ke asked back.
"That's not interesting." Ruan Baijie said, "I just think you two have a good relationship... Don't you really know each other?"
"No way." Xiao Ke looked uncomfortable.
Ruan Baijie smiled, but did not continue the topic.
Of course, Xiao Ke did not pull Ruan Baijie not let go, she did not stop Ruan Baijie let Ling Jiu pick up carrying her to the temple, look grave turned away.
