Chapter 84 Men in Black

In the middle of the night when the wind was howling, one man was digging the soil with a hoe, and another was crawling at his feet begging for help. The scene was indescribably weird and terrifying.

It's like murder and burial!

When the man heard Chen Shiyi's refusal, he was stunned for a long time, loosened his grip on Chen Shiyi's hand, and struggled to crawl away.

The man climbed for a long time and heard the woman behind him say.

"etc…"

A glimmer of hope suddenly arose in that man's heart.

Chen Shiyi walked towards him, lifted up his legs, and dragged him into the deep pit.

"Your body shape is similar to his. Please measure it for me and see if it should be made wider."

The man who ate a lot of yellow earth was speechless. Not only did they watch him die without rescuing him, but they also squeezed out the last bit of value from him before he died?

This was simply the greatest humiliation in his life.

However, he was completely powerless and could only let the woman drag him, grab him and throw him around. He thought that if he was lucky enough to survive, he would cut this woman into pieces.

Chen Shiyi saw that the man cooperated well and the pit seemed to be about the same length. After finishing these things, his anger was released.

The alcohol had worn off and she felt very tired. She lay in the mud pit and kept muttering to herself.

“Why do people live? They keep working hard for something they can’t get, but they still can’t get it until the end of their lives. So why do they still live…”

After saying this, she laughed at herself again.

"I still prefer to be like a tree, drinking the rain from heaven and earth, enduring the storms, weathering the wind and sun. Although I have no consciousness and don't have too many thoughts, a tree has roots..."

"My life is like a blade of grass, like a floating duckweed, forever drifting away."

She nudged the man next to her and asked.

"Tell me, how should I live in the future? My life is like chicken ribs, useless to eat, but a pity to throw away..."

The man gave a breathless cough.

"How would I know? I'm almost dead, so I can't think that far ahead..."

Chen Shiyi was stunned for a moment. She thought, she was really unlucky. She found someone to talk to, but that person was going to die too.

She suddenly remembered something and took out a purse from her sleeve pocket.

In the purse were five Xining Pills that Pei's mother had prepared to give her before she passed away. However, she passed away before she could deliver them to her mother.

But she kept these pills in her purse and was reluctant to throw them away. Now she doesn't know if they are still effective.

But it’s medicine after all!

She opened the black scarf covering the man's face, pried open his jaw, and stuffed the pills into his mouth one by one.

The man couldn't move and could only let Chen Shiyi torture him.

After swallowing these pills with great difficulty, the man was choked and unable to speak.

"What medicine did you give me?"

Chen Shiyi shook his head.

"I don't know what it does, but it's medicine, so I just need to take it."

The man in black was slightly stunned. He had never seen such an unreliable person before.

This is medicine, not food. Can I take it randomly?

"But it's been many years since I took this medicine, and I don't know if it's effective."

The man complained in his heart that if he could really survive in the future, it must be because he was angered to death by this strange woman.

Chen Shiyi stared at the man's face for a long time.

"You look average."

The man in black was not going to do it anymore.

Why did he have to suffer such humiliation before his death?

"You don't look that good either?"

"Prettier than you."

"I'm prettier than you."

Chen Shiyi curled the corner of his mouth.

"You say you are a man, you are average looking, and you can't let others say anything. But you are competing with a woman for beauty for no reason. Do you have any shame?"

"It's the same thing, no one can tell who is better."

Chen Shiyi said in surprise.

"Is the medicine working? I can't even breathe when I talk now."

The man in black rolled his eyes.

"I don't know whether the medicine worked or not, but if you make me angry again, I will be angry to death."

Chen Shiyi laughed.

"I've only heard of angering someone to death, but I've never heard of angering someone back to life. If that's what you said, then I'll have to say more things to anger them. Maybe if they survive, you'll still owe me a life-saving favor."

The man in black suddenly fell silent.

Chen Shiyi was frightened, is he really dead?

She pressed hard on his philtrum and only heard his weak voice.

"Don't press it. I just don't want to accept your life-saving favor. It seems really difficult."

Chen Shiyi felt relieved when he heard that his breathing became more and more stable.

She looked at the dark sky above, and the dazzling firelight next to her dispelled the darkness.

If her life had to move forward in darkness, she thought, she could also hold up that beam of light by herself, and she didn't need someone to shine it.

The man in black had some strength in his hands and pushed Chen Shiyi.

"You're not going to sleep, are you?"

"not."

"Don't sleep. I'm afraid of the dark."

"I am afraid of the dark, but I was born in the dark, so I am used to it and I am not afraid anymore."

The man in black breathed a sigh of relief.

“Everyone in this world is looking for light. Some people are born in the light. Darkness is the norm in life.”

"I'm drunk..."

"Well, if I'm drunk, I'm drunk..."

"I was drunk and talked a lot. I had a lot to say, but in the end I realized that some things I hadn't said for a long time, and gradually I couldn't say them."

"If I can't say it, it means I have lost the need to say it. There is nothing in the world that I don't regret."

Chen Shiyi smiled somewhat sadly.

"I don't want to hurt anyone, but I am destined to hurt someone because I already know the outcome of this matter, so I want to go in another direction. Maybe that road will be more difficult and worse, but at least it is a way out."

"If you are firm in your choice, the path is the right one. Otherwise, no matter which one you choose, it will be wrong."

"You must be old, too."

The man in black started to get furious again after hearing this.

"Like someone who has experienced countless ups and downs, he knows so much and looks at things so calmly..."

"You don't necessarily have to be older to have experienced more and understood more. Many people live to be in their seventies or eighties and still don't have as much insight as I do."

"Let me think about it. A man in black who has experienced a lot is seriously injured in the dead of night. It seems that you are being chased by your enemies, or you are going to kill your enemies. Sigh, killing people all day long is very boring..."

"So what do you find interesting?"

"have no idea."

"A drunk woman who went up the mountain to dig a pit in the middle of the night was very courageous. She must have been so bored that she didn't care about her own life."

Chen Shiyi smiled warmly.

As the two were talking, Chen Shiyi, under the influence of alcohol, fell asleep in the hole he had dug himself.

When she woke up again, it was already daybreak and the man in black beside her had long disappeared. If it weren't for the rammed earth bed next to her and the remaining bloodstains, she would have thought that the person who talked to her last night was a monster in the mountains.

She pounded her dizzy head, picked up the hoe, and walked towards Shi Liu's home outside the dense forest.

Shi Liu was so anxious that she was running around in circles. When she saw Chen Shiyi coming back with his eyes half closed and a hoe on his shoulder, she was shocked.

"Girl, you are drunk, where have you been?"

Chen Shiyi waved his hands to indicate that he was fine.

"Are you going back today?"

"Yes."

"Well, let's go!"

Shi Liu briefly tidied up Chen Shiyi's messy hair. The scattered dirt made Shi Liu very confused. What on earth did the girl do last night?
