Chapter 40
He was just about to say that the other party might have entered the cage, why don't we go in and look for it?
When I saw it, I impatiently held the front of the T-shirt to avoid the wet fabric sticking to the skin, and said, "Wait."
Aren't you impatient to wait? ? ?
Xia Qiao said in his heart.
The mall is designed like a rolled up paper tube, slightly sloping, and the lines are quite smooth. If the window is clear and clean, it should be pretty.
But it hasn't been cleaned for a long time, there are general stains on the wall, and the glass is gray, and it is impossible to see what is inside.
Standing outside, you can only see a few shops with scattered incandescent lights, as deserted as an abandoned building.
I don't know if it's the cage owner's impression of it, or it's just like that.
"Brother Wen, whose cage do you think this is?" Xia Qiao murmured, "Could it be the driver? I knew I wouldn't take that umbrella."
Wen Shi said, "I picked it up on purpose."
Xia Qiao: "?"
He was about to ask, when footsteps were heard not far away. The two turned their heads and saw that Xie Wen was late.
He held his umbrella well in his hand, his clothes were clean, and there were no wet marks even on his trousers. It can be seen that there is neither fright nor running.
"What happened to the two of you? Did you take a shower on the spot?" Xie Wen saw them from a distance and asked dumbfounded.
"You didn't touch anything?" Wen Shi asked with a frown.
"No." Xie Wen stood under the porch to collect his umbrella, "Fortunately not, my constitution can't stand an open-air bath."
This sounds provocative when you smell it.
He snorted from his nose, thinking that Caijing was lucky. He silently took out cotton thread and a lighter from his pocket, turned around and went to the flowerbed to swipe a few times.
Xie Wen came over and said, "Are you here in the cage this time?"
"Otherwise?" Wen Shi's tone was not hesitant, he picked three branches, and simply wrapped the cotton thread around it, "Give you another chance to play tricks?"
Xia Qiao came over and said, "I don't want to enter the doll anymore, brother."
When smelling: "Hmm."
Stupid than thinking.
You know your own level best. I can't say anything when I'm hungry. Now that I'm full, although it's far less than when I had a spiritual aspect, it's quite enough to put it in an ordinary judge.
The last time... I can also hang up half a bucket of water like Xie Wen to fight!
His fingers moved when he smelled it.
Xia Qiao watched him flick off the lighter, and the moment the spark lit up, he suddenly remembered something: "That's right, Brother Wen."
"Say." Wen Shi nodded at the branch.
"The day I... came out of grandpa's cage the next day." Xia Qiao stared at the cluster of flames and said, "I don't know if it's dazzling, but I saw the famous tree—"
He wanted to say "your name seems to light up", but because Xie Wen was there, he swallowed the half sentence and only mentioned the back: "The line of our family on the famous tree seems to have moved up. A little bit."
He didn't lift his eyes when he smelled it. He gathered the branches into his hands, wrapped his fingers around the cotton thread, and said casually, "No dazzling, because I just got rid of the cage."
Xia Qiao let out an "oh" and suddenly got a little excited: "Brother Wen, if you solve the cage a little more, will we be able to climb further up this line, and will the ranking be higher?"
When smelling: "..."
Can, really can.
But it's kinda creepy.
Before Shen Qiao was alive, he would enter the cage casually. It's no problem to jump up a few times in the ranking of this vein, anyway, it's all on Shen Qiao's head.
Now that Shen Qiao is gone, the little puppet Xia Qiao has no name. In the eyes of other families, this vein on the famous tree map is completely dead.
A line with all the deceased, dragging a row of names of dead people written in red pen to climb up vigorously, who is this to scare?
As soon as he smelled it, his hands shook.
The branches around the smoke clucked in the cotton thread, and led the three people into the cage.
The moment it got dark in front of me, I wanted to finish it when I heard it.
When he opened his eyes again, he was already in the Wancheng Shopping Mall.
This building is a cylindrical structure, and the shops are next to each other, forming a circle, which seems a little crowded.
Many storefronts have closed scroll doors, which are sealed with cold metal mesh. I don't know if it's closed, or if it's brittle.
Among those closed shops, there are a few still open.
The headlights of the shopping mall were not turned on, and those open stores were the only light sources.
Smell in such a "next door".
He used the light source, and the first thing he did was check his eye level, and then he was relieved—it was quite tall, definitely not a doll.
But soon, he was not happy anymore. Because there was a glass window in front of him, and he tried to move, his neck, hands and feet were a little stiff, not very flexible.
He turned his head hard and saw his grey hands.
What kind of thing is standing in front of the glass window, with hands and feet, stiff and gray?
Answer: Mannequins.
The advantage is that the lower body of this model is wearing pants and sneakers. The disadvantage is that he only has a coat on his upper body, the zipper is not pulled, and his chest is open.
What's even more lacking than the shortcomings is... His body is removable, and there are gaps in his head, arms, and legs, especially his head, which is not very tight.
so that when I smell it now
Don't dare to move, others will scream when they see it, and his head will fall off.
