Chapter 1372 Hallucination?
The girl ran until she couldn't see the woods and then slowly stopped.
Bent over, breathing heavily.
The brother and sister gave chase.
"What's wrong?"
The brother and sister looked at each other and asked bluntly.
It was obviously fine on the way here.
"Ah."
My brother suddenly looked astonished, "Are you scared by the rabbit's body?"
……
The girl turned pale.
She nodded.
"It's okay."
The brother comforts the girl,
"Yeah, it's just..."
The brother glared at his sister, who swallowed the words "dead rabbit" back in her stomach with a sneer on her face.
"You thought it was you."
The brother whispered to his sister.
They had seen a lot of animal carcasses since they were young, so naturally they were nothing.
But girls from other cities have never seen the carcasses of any animals.
It must be a little uncomfortable when you see it for the first time.
……
The girl lowered her head, and after a long time she softly responded, "...Hmm."
She breathed a sigh of relief.
The brother and sister did not blame her...
In fact, the reason why she was so scared just now was that on the one hand she was frightened by the rabbit's body, but on the other hand, it was because of the guilt rising in her heart.
If she had not forgotten about the rabbit, would the rabbit not have died?
It was her negligence...
She moved her fingers slightly, and the cold and stiff feeling on her fingertips was still there, so she couldn't help but rub her fingers vigorously.
She even regretted coming over for a moment.
I also told my siblings.
When grandma asked her what happened, she didn't say anything about the rabbit, or even the bear trap. Grandma never agreed with her doing anything dangerous.
For example, hunting.
Even if it's just setting up a bear trap.
She only said that she tripped over a tree root and it hurt, so she just sat there and cried.
……
"Let's go back."
The girl doesn't want to be here anymore.
Even though she had left the forest, her mind could not help but replay the previous scene.
Deep in the dark forest, there is a lifeless rabbit.
The dried blood stains, you can almost see the bones of the hind legs, and the sharp animal traps make it look even more ferocious and terrifying.
The girl shivered.
……
There was a rustling sound coming from the woods behind.
It seemed to be the sound of wind, and it seemed to be the sound of footsteps.
The girl's heart skipped a beat.
She wanted to turn back, but was inexplicably afraid.
The whole body is stiff.
Even if he wanted to reach out and cover his chest, he couldn't do it.
Her heart beat faster and faster.
A roaring sound filled his ears.
Suddenly, "bang-"
"Sister?"
The girl's pupils shrank violently, and her heart almost stopped for a moment.
She seemed to see the rabbit that should have died but opened its eyes and looked at her...
"Ha!"
The girl gasped, her fingers dug into her palms, but no sound came out when she opened her mouth.
"Sister, what's wrong with you?"
"Sister?"
The girl blinked hard. Was there any rabbit in front of her?
Green grass filled her entire field of vision.
She listened unconsciously, but found that the strange voice just now was gone.
Is it all...an illusion?
The girl looked pale.
"Sister!"
My sister yelled, "What's wrong with you?!"
His face became increasingly anxious and worried.
The girl subconsciously looked at her sister, her eyes still a little distracted.
The sister reached out and took the girl's hand.
The unexpected coldness and dampness made my sister startled. Is this... a cold sweat?
She held the girl's hand tightly, trying to warm the girl's cold hand with her own warmth, with a playful smile on her face, "I won't take you hunting next time."
"So cowardly."
My sister wrinkled her nose and made a face.
The cute and funny look made the girl smile.
The girl suppressed the fear in her heart and reluctantly said, "Sorry, I'm fine."
Neither brother nor sister believed what the girl said.
The brother held his hands tightly together, nervous and confused, and the girl's face looked obviously ugly.
It was ugly and pale.
It was like being greatly frightened.
Was it because he was frightened by the rabbit's corpse?
However, the girl's face was obviously better before, so why did it suddenly become even uglier than at the beginning?
……
"Why is everything okay?"
"Look at your face, it's so white that you can pretend to be a ghost and scare people."
The younger sister pouted and frowned at first, but she smiled after a few seconds. She reached out and hugged the girl, "It's okay, it's okay."
"Hunting means killing animals."
"It's okay."
The girl was in a trance.
Yes, hunting means killing animals, what is she worried about...
"A rabbit scares you like this. What if you saw the carcass of a wild boar and you weren't scared to death?"
"..."
The girl pursed her lips.
"You..."
"What?"
The girl's voice was too soft and her sister didn't hear her clearly.
"Did you...hear anything just now?"
"What sound?"
The brother and sister looked at each other with blank expressions on their faces.
"What sound do you mean?"
"Just...bang?"
The girl tried hard to imitate the voice just now, "A deeper voice, something like this."
"Bang?"
The brother and sister looked at each other, then shook their heads together, "No."
"We didn't hear the sound."
"What's wrong with this sound?"
"No?"
The girl murmured.
So, that voice, and that rabbit that opened its eyes and looked at her, were they all her hallucinations?
"Sister, do you care about that voice?"
The sister shook the girl's hand and said, "Then we will help you look for it."
"No need!"
The girl's loud voice startled the brother and sister.
"Sister?"
"Xiao Xiao?"
"Sorry, no need."
The girl shook her head, "Maybe I heard wrong."
"Ah, oh."
The brother and sister nodded, their smiles showing a bit of stiffness.
The girl's strangeness made them a little cautious.
They regretted taking the girl hunting.
They didn't expect that the girl would be so frightened, and they were a little... nervous.
……
"Let's go back quickly."
The brother spoke, breaking the silence that had suddenly spread between them.
"Yeah."
The younger sister nodded and pulled the girl forward, "It will be tragic if Grandma Zhang finds out that Xiao Xiao is gone."
"I will probably be trained for at least three hours this time, right?"
The girl's words made both brother and sister laugh.
The weirdness in my heart disappeared.
……
"Sorry, Master Xiao, am I too verbose?"
The curly-haired girl stopped talking and suddenly said a little embarrassed.
There was no trace of impatience on Xiao Xiao's face.
He shook his head slightly.
The curly-haired girl smiled and said, "I have been holding this in my heart for a long time."
"I couldn't help but talk more."
Immediately, there was a hint of gloom in her eyebrows.
Xiao Xiao knew that the highlight was coming.
