"Hmm." The little fresh beauty nodded softly and followed her father into Chen's Catfish Village.

The two of them sat down at the table with Boss Chen's flowery smile, the menu was handed over, and the father casually ordered a few dishes: "A plate of back pot meat, big-name mapo tofu, and a soup." Grab some food. ”

Boss Chen's smile remained unchanged, and he did not affect his mood at all because of the death of someone in a traffic accident not far from the door of the store: "This gentleman, our family mainly eats catfish. ”

"I don't like to eat fish." Father said.

"But my chef who cooks Sichuan cuisine is sick and has taken a leave of absence, and only the chef who makes fish is there." Boss Chen was embarrassed, and there was a trace of cunning in his eyes.

"That's right." Father lowered his head and looked at the menu again.

The girl was bored, so she got up and wandered around the hall. Suddenly, she saw a little girl in a short black skirt squatting beside the glass pool, watching the fish swimming in it with relish. The child was about 13 years old, with a somewhat shabby skirt that seemed to have been torn raw, short black hair, and a thin body.

"Are you looking at the fish?" The girl rubbed her jet-black hair and gently squatted down beside the child.

The child ignored her and continued to look at the fish in the glass.

"Interesting?" The girl wanted to touch the child, but suddenly thought of something, and quickly retracted her hand: "Big sister, my name is Ni Niandie, little sister, do you have a name?" ”

The little girl still didn't speak.

Ni Niandie felt that her smiling face hurt, but the little girl didn't answer her at all, which was really boring. Not far from the pool, there were a few earth dogs on a leash, and those earth dogs drooped their heads sickly. Perhaps, this roadside restaurant not only sells fish, but also sells dog meat illegally. I don't know when, those listless dogs all stood up as if frightened and barked at Ni Niandie.

Ni Niandie was a little confused, so she crossed the little girl's body and looked at the earth dog. The dogs were barking like crazy. Sticky saliva kept flowing from his mouth, but the object of the scream didn't seem to be himself, but the little girl who was close to him.

She couldn't help but look at the little girl, and suddenly, she took a few steps back. The girl, who looked to be only five years old, squatted quietly on the ground, but. There was no shadow behind her.

"Oops!" Ni Niandie frowned. Silently stepping back, she tried to keep herself calm. Turning his head and glancing to his father, he gestured to his father.

The father happened to look over because of the barking of the dog, he looked at his daughter, and then asked suspiciously: "What's the matter, Nian Die, your face is so white and sick?" ”

The father obviously didn't find the girl behind him, which made Ni Niandie's heart fall to the bottom. She noticed that the girl had stood up, but she couldn't see her face. Or rather, the girl has no face at all.

"Dad, run away!" Ni Niandie shouted, swung her legs and ran.

The father was stunned, threw the menu in his hand to the ground, and fled towards the gate without hesitation.

Boss Chen was stunned, his head was a little stuffy. I haven't started stealing customers yet, why did those two people run away? At this moment, a creepy sensation spread throughout the body. Boss Chen stiffly turned his head and looked back, he didn't see anything. But he really felt that something had grabbed him by the leg. The thing crawled very quickly, from calves to thighs. to the waist, and finally climbed on his shoulder, touching his neck.

There was a soft 'squeak', and Boss Chen's neck was twisted to a position that was impossible for a living person to twist, and he didn't have time to exhale his last breath, and the whole person was already dead. Boss Chen's head was twisted off by a pair of invisible hands, 'click-click'. It's like chewing a bean, gnawed and mutilated by something you can't see.

All this happened in just over 10 seconds.

Ni Niandie fled in panic while subconsciously looking back. I saw that the thing that originally looked like a little girl had become pitch black, and it was vague to see whether it was a human form or not. Everywhere it passed, it raised layers of shadows, covering the sky, getting bigger and bigger, and it was still merging with the shadows around it.

Whether it is the walls or the seats, even the earth dogs are spared, as long as the objects and creatures that have swallowed the shadow by it take on a gray tone. As if frozen in black and white, it didn't take long for the walls to collapse, the seats to collapse, and the dog's entire body exploded, staining the ground with red blood.

Ni Niandie and her father skillfully jumped into the car, the car did not turn off, and rushed onto the road as soon as they stepped on the accelerator. This kind of thing, it seems that their family has experienced it countless times.

The shadow rushed out of Chen's Catfish Village and disappeared into the sunlight as if it had never appeared.

The car is gone, aimlessly continuing the endless journey of death.

The girl sighed, she sat in the passenger seat, her chin propped up with her hands, and looked out the window at the ever-changing landscape. Involuntarily, crystal tears ran down her cheeks one by one, like pearls.

She cried silently, and was afraid of being seen by her father, so she wiped away her tears vaguely. His thoughts drifted to the white clouds in the distance. Occasionally, birds fly by in the sky, making beautiful arcs across the sky. An airplane flies out of the stratosphere and glides at high altitude. She feels that her family is a duckweed without roots, and she will never be able to return to her roots.

Wouldn't it be nice if one day we could stay quietly and not have to run around? It only takes a year, no, even half a year.

She was willing to pay with her life!

Some people, some things, seem to leave some feelings more or less in the passage of time. With the increase of experience, the transfer of time, the memory becomes blurred, and people and things are gradually no longer remembered, and only emotion remains.

On the westbound plane from Germany, I held my chin in my hand and looked out the window in a daze.

The cotton-like white clouds of the stratosphere have a strange appearance, and the sunset in the distance rises and falls like tomatoes falling into the sea level. I had a lot of thoughts, and my heart was full of emotion.

I haven't introduced myself in a long time, my name is Ye Bu, I'm twenty years old, and I'm a weird person who always encounters strange things. Sometimes I often wonder why there is such a big difference between people living under such a blue sky. Some people can die happily, but I can only run around and be busy, powerlessly watching the people who should have been saved die one by one in front of my eyes.

Is this a curse?

"Ah Ye, do you want to eat grapes?" Li Nuoyi, who was sitting on the side, carefully peeled the grape skin and handed it to my mouth, I reached out to take it, and her hand immediately dodged.
