51 Dirty X Missing X Confession
Hua was lying on the bed, watching Grandma Lai busying around taking care of her, looking at her with a bit of confusion.
She knew that Grandma Lai's mental state was not very good. After all, everyone could tell at a glance that she had mental problems. But now, Grandma Lai was not only busy taking care of the weak Hua, but she could even clean the house.
Hua looked at Grandma Lai in silence, with questions popping up in her mind. It was not because she thought Grandma Lai had to do something, but because her change was so abrupt.
You seemed a little crazy last night, but you're so energetic today?
Hua felt that it was very likely that Grandma Lai was pretending before, but when she looked at her old face, she didn't want to think about it anymore.
She knew that her thoughts were problematic, but she couldn't guess what was going on with an old man.
Hua closed her eyes, she felt that sooner or later she would be killed by herself.
Grandma Lai came over with a bowl of warm water. She put the water aside and reached out to support the flower. Before her hand touched the flower, she saw the little girl suddenly open her eyes.
Hua even moved her body to the other side. When she saw the situation clearly, she sat up silently.
Grandma Lai didn't say anything. She handed the water to Hua and walked out of the room slowly. Hua chose to wet her lips with the water instead of drinking it directly.
Hua didn't dare to close her eyes, for she was afraid that her instinctive reaction would cause harm to others. Such a training method was really effective, but of course there would be troubles of one kind or another.
Hua felt the weakness coming from inside and out, and began to try to mobilize the ether. Ultimately, her discomfort was caused by the Yuan Ling, and the Yuan Ling was composed of ether.
So can ether neutralize her current physical condition, allowing her to return to normal or alleviate her physical discomfort?
Grandma Lai was outside looking at Hua, her hands resting on the window, watching Hua sitting on the bed with her face still pale. The sunlight shone from behind her onto the ground, casting a shadow.
In a more distant forest, a small group of people were walking in the woods with serious expressions. They had been searching here for a whole night and could not see any animals at all, not to mention the large beasts that they had to be careful of.
The tranquil forest, the unchanging tree trunks and ground, gradually relaxed their nerves. One of them fell behind first, and as soon as he turned around, he was separated from his companions. He did not panic in this situation, but lowered his center of gravity slightly and walked slowly on the road.
The surroundings were eerily quiet, and even the wind in the forest seemed to have stopped. This slight incongruity did not irritate the man's nerves, but it did bring a slight sense of uneasiness and tension.
"Hit!" he shouted, and the sudden sound became particularly loud and harsh in the entire environment, but it did not attract his companions.
He took out the walkie-talkie and kept repeating his call, but no one answered him. He had no choice but to mutter something, leave a mark, and start looking again.
Although the forest had a lot of shade, he still felt increasingly hot and restless as time went by. Suddenly, he felt that he was no longer so hot.
The drop in temperature made him feel at ease and relaxed. He found a place to sit down. The loss of sweat just now made him feel thirsty. He sat on a rock and drank two sips of water. At this time, he finally realized that something was wrong here.
He raised his head and looked towards the sky.
A loud noise split the sky, and a team quickly ran towards the source of the sound.
"Hit! Have you contacted him?"
The leader ran very fast. They didn't realize that one person was missing until they heard a loud noise. Now they could only rush to their companions as soon as possible.
"Not yet!" Hitt repeatedly tried to contact his companion's walkie-talkie, but there was no response no matter what.
Now they all understood that the other party was definitely in great danger. The leader made a sound of "clicking his tongue" and sped up even faster.
Suddenly, the leader stopped and spread his arms to block the members behind him.
"Let's go back."
The expression under the mask was extremely ugly. He knew a little more than others. The disappearance of animals in the forest had never stopped, but it was still unclear whether humans would disappear as a result.
"No, the order is to explore."
Hitt rejected the leader's proposal. He put away the walkie-talkie and issued the order to move forward.
The leader watched his companions rush past him one by one, and after much hesitation, he followed them. In this unknown situation, it was safer to stay with his companions.
When they got close, they didn't see anyone. They only saw some fragments of clothing and half a walkie-talkie on the ground.
Hitt picked up the walkie-talkie, which was cut in half, and Hitt did not find the other side parts nearby.
"It wasn't cut by a blade."
From the cross-section, Hitt quickly determined that it was impossible for a blade to create such a smooth cross-section.
"We retreat."
Hitt quickly made a judgment. He already had the props to prove it, and he needed to replace more professional troops next. Several people quickly packed up their belongings and prepared to leave.
A faint murmur seemed to come from the air, and everyone looked up at the sky.
The wind finally blew gently through the forest, taking away the uneasiness and fear in the air. The treetops still swayed with the Mosuo, as if nothing had happened.
Hua in the hut suddenly sat up. She covered the lower half of her face with her hands to stifle her screams. In her dream, she seemed to see many people being swallowed by black things.
Is it dirty?
Hua thought uncertainly that those black things were very similar to what she had seen on Whale Island.
It’s just that the pollution on Whale Island is not that serious, and they don’t actively swallow anything, it’s more likely that animals accidentally eat it.
The animals that eat it will be contaminated, and then infect other animals, and the scope of infection will continue to expand.
Hua got out of bed immediately. She had to go and see what was going on. If this continued, sooner or later the people here would be killed.
She rushed to the door in two or three steps, and the strong emotions supported her weak body. Before she could walk out of the door, Grandma Lai blocked her with her body.
If Hua took a step to the left, Grandma Lai would block her, and if she moved to the right, Grandma Lai would follow immediately.
Looking at the old Grandma Lai in front of her, Hua wanted to put her somewhere else, but the old woman's bones were fragile, so she didn't dare to do it.
"I have something urgent to do, Grandma."
Grandma Lai did not move aside. She looked at the child in front of her and knew that the child had no children and could not have a granddaughter.
Hua was a little anxious because Grandma Lai was taking a long time to leave, so she looked up at the other person's face. The eyes on that old face were no longer dull as before, and were flashing a faint light in the light.
At this time, she finally realized that Grandma Lai had returned to normal, or rather, her mind had regained its sanity.
Hua took a half step back, her pupils trembling slightly.
What was she going to say? I'm sorry I lied to you about being your granddaughter, but I had no choice.
It’s still Oi old lady, thank you for your help, I’m leaving.
Hua's thoughts quickly wandered, and she opened and closed her mouth several times without uttering a word.
"Eat something."
Grandma Lai didn't say anything else, but calmly took a step forward. Only then did Hua notice that she was holding a bowl of soup.
Hua jumped back a step, shaking her head like a rattle. When the other party was still confused, she could use it as a meal replacement to comfort him and listen to Grandma Lai. However, when the other party was awake, she would continue to do it without explanation and enjoy the other party's care.
Hua thought with a tearful look on her face, that was too bad.
Grandma Lai saw what Hua was thinking. She looked at Hua's child-like face in a daze and smiled helplessly.
“Eat it, it’s okay.”
"Tell me your name after you finish eating."
Grandma Lai's reaction was so calm that Hua felt as if the burden was not so great. She relaxed a little, and the strong emotions faded away. Hua staggered and almost fell headfirst to the ground.
She steadied herself, smiled a little sheepishly, and made up her mind to explain her situation first.
"No need to explain, just eat first."
Grandma Lai put the soup on the table, reached out to support Hua's body, and took her to sit at the table.
Hua looked at the soup but was still a little hesitant to eat it. She knew it was not a good idea to assume this about Grandma Lai, but she had suffered losses before.
Seeing that Hua was still taking a long time to drink the soup, Grandma Lai took the bowl and took a sip before handing it to Hua.
Her movements were extremely smooth. She picked up the soup and started drinking it. After taking a few sips, she put the bowl back on the table. There was a tiny notch on the edge of the round soup bowl, which sparkled in the sunlight.
"I am not your granddaughter..."
Hua looked at the bowl of soup that she had drunk clean, and curled the corners of her mouth slightly. She looked at Grandma Lai and began to explain.
She spoke for a long time, expressing her gratitude and apology. After Huadu finished speaking, she waited for Grandma Lai's final judgment.
"Is the fever gone?"
Grandma Lai did not make any comment on Hua's identity replacement. She put her hand on Hua's forehead, feeling the warmth under her hand.
"Don't go out until you're well."
She spoke slowly but clearly. Hua opened her mouth and wanted to explain something, but Grandma Lai was faster and stood up.
"I.."
Grandma Lai was afraid that Hua would really explain, so she hurried to the door. Hua followed her quickly. She tried to get to the front several times, but was always blocked by Grandma Lai.
Hua was a little anxious. The sooner she dealt with the matter, the safer it would be. Delaying the process would only make the situation worse.
But Grandma Lai locked the door. Hua slapped the door in disbelief. She didn't understand why Grandma Lai did this. If she had any opinions about her, she could just say it directly. She could also pay back Grandma Lai for the things she used. Why did she have to lock her up?
Grandma Lai listened to the banging sounds inside through the door and sighed softly.
In the sunshine, she walked towards the most crowded place in the village.
The previous troubles and disputes in the village seemed to have disappeared, and people gathered together happily in the place where they had chatted before, talking and laughing.
"Grandma Lai! You're here!"
A woman happily greeted Grandma Lai, held her hand and walked into the crowd.
"Harper is coming today, everyone is waiting."
