Penitent hand, trembling slightly

Chapter 104 Chapter Family

The boy's screams lasted for a long time, as if he was enduring some unbearable torture.

Shen Maomao and Jin Mao hugged each other to keep warm, and no one dared to speak.

I don't know how long it took, maybe as long as a century, the screams suddenly stopped.

The two people buried in the ground didn't dare to breathe too much, they only dared to move their eyes left and right, and they communicated for a long time without understanding anything.

After a while, they heard footsteps again, followed by mother Shen's voice from the ground: "Mamao? Mom is back..."

The golden retriever gently pushed her hand, beckoning her to answer quickly.

Shen Maomao said weakly: "Mom What happened just now?"

Shen's mother smiled and said: "Mom has educated the bad boy, don't be a bad boy..."

That gentle voice was like a whisper in a lover's ear, making Shen Maomao tremble three times.

Shen's mother began to dig the soil with tools. After digging for a long time, Shen Maomao remembered the female ghost sister, and asked quickly, "Mom! Did you see an aunt wearing red shoes?"

Shen's mother replied: "No, there seems to be no one else nearby."

So what about Miss Lou?What about the female ghost?What about other players?

Shen's mother dug for a long time, and finally a ray of moonlight shone in from above, even though it was so dim, it still hurt the two of them to close their eyes.

The golden retriever immediately put away the props, and a large pile of sand rushed over his head and face. Shen Maomao accidentally ate a mouthful of ashes, and quickly reached out to cover his mouth and nose.

Then she felt a pair of gentle hands hug her out of the soil, as if hugging some kind of treasure tightly, reluctant to let go.

Shen Maomao's eye sockets were inexplicably moist.

She thought of her mother.Lou Jingmo had told her before that if she had more time to go home and see her relatives, she might not have the chance in the future, but she hadn't been able to find the time...

If she can go out this time, she would like to suspend school temporarily, concentrate on spending time with her family, and then hug Lou Jingmo's thigh tightly, trying to get out of the game alive.

Shen's mother gently wiped away her tears: "Don't be afraid, Momma has rescued you."

"Mom, I'm not afraid." Shen Maomao wrapped his small hands around Shen's mother's neck, closed his eyes and rubbed against her face, rubbing the sand all over Shen's mother's face.

She has called mother many times, most of which are casual calls to fit the personality, but the sentence just now was definitely called out by her sincerely.

Shen's mother is really a good mother, but it's a pity that she is not her real daughter.

——I hope her real mother will not beat her to death after she has a new mother in the game.

The mother and daughter were loving each other, and the golden hair over there dragged Ren Yue out of the ground in a disgraceful manner. She deeply felt that a child with a mother was like a treasure, and comparing them two by two seemed to set them off a little worse.

……

The school has turned into ruins, with various tables and stools sticking out of the dirt.Shen Maomao didn't expect that Golden Retriever's props were so powerful, and now he was in a state of complete bewilderment.

Ren Yue had already woken up, she was injured, her complexion was very ugly, after seeing Shen Maomao's face, she turned pale again.

Shen Maomao lay in Shen's mother's arms, looked at her condescendingly, and said, "I am someone else's blood."

Then Ren Yue's face turned even paler, probably because he mistakenly thought that these "others" died at the hands of Shen Maomao.

She said thank you weakly, and then hid herself behind the golden retriever, not daring to look at her directly.

Shen Maomao felt an unspeakable sadness in his heart when the good friend who talked about everything in the past fell into the current situation.

The four of them sat on the ruins, staring at each other, not knowing what to do next.

After a while, a few more children dragged themselves out of the ruins with all their strength, and then gathered in their direction, sitting on the ruins just like them in a daze. Lou Jingmo never appeared, Shen Maomao asked Shen's mother to search around, but couldn't find her figure, so she guessed that she might have returned to the watch world - after all, in her eyes, Lou Jingmo was synonymous with omnipotence.

The moon was still hanging in the sky well, and the various trees in the school were shaken from side to side by the wind.The tree shadows on the ground also twisted their bodies, like little monsters lying in ambush on the ground.

Because in the last dungeon, both Shen Maomao and Jinmao were very sensitive to shadows, Shen Maomao wanted to find a shadowless place to hide like in the previous world, but was stopped by Shen's mother.

"How old are you, and you still step on the shadow to play." Shen's mother said, "Maomao, are you sleepy? We should go home."

She spoke very cryptically, but Shen Maomao suddenly understood that this was preventing her from committing suicide!

She replied: "I feel like I can't go back. There's a lot of fog outside. I'm so scared, Mom."

"Then I will hold Maomao, Maomao will not be afraid..."

Shen Maomao looked at Jin Mao and Ren Yue who were staring at her eagerly, and said, "What about my classmates?"

Mother Shen didn't hesitate: "Then let them follow us."

"But they can't see the way and get lost."

"Then mother is holding you, you are holding your classmates, let's walk together hand in hand, shall we?"

Shen Maomao felt that this plan was very sound, but under normal circumstances, if she stepped into the fog at the edge of the map, it would be equivalent to being on the death list, so she didn't dare to make decisions for others.

She believes that Shen's mother will not harm her, but it does not mean that others will believe it.

Although she doesn't know the other players, if they want to follow, she won't drive them away.

Think so.She turned her head to look at the other players behind them, and then her body froze suddenly.

——Except for the players who crawled out when she watched with her own eyes, a group of children were sitting densely on the ruins behind.

These children were also in a panic, all of them seemed to have just crawled out of the ground.After looking around, Shen Maomao was not even sure whether the people in the front row were real players...

Seeing her expression, Jin Mao and Ren Yue also turned around to look behind them, and they said in unison, "Damn."

Ren Yue murmured: "Are there so many people in this game?"

How can it be? !Where are there so many players!It is estimated that 90.00% of children above five are ghosts! !

The golden retriever's face was pale, but it was completely blocked by the mud covering it.He looked at these same expressionless people and asked uncertainly, "Could they all be...?"

"I don't think so either..."

"Then shall we go?" Golden Retriever asked.

"Let's go? You pull me, let Ren Yue pull you, and then I pull my mother, so that we won't get lost." After she finished speaking, she was a little unsure, and added a word, "Probably... If you don’t want to leave, you stay and pay attention to your own safety.”

"I'm leaving!" Jin Mao gritted his teeth, "It's a big deal, so what..."

Ren Yue glanced back at the large army of ghosts behind her, immediately turned her head back, and said tremblingly, "I...I'll go too..."

Compared with the unknown fog, she is more afraid of these human-like ghosts, even though she has gone through many instances, she still cannot adapt.

She glanced at Shen Maomao, envious of her courage like she had done countless times before.

The first and third juniors walked down from the ruins and held hands as Shen Maomao had arranged.

One of the children in the group behind them stood up and asked, "What are you going to do?" At the same time, the other children also stood up with a clatter, their eyes focused on them.

Ren Yue's whole body was stiff, and there was an expression on her face that she was about to cry or not, and she didn't dare to turn her head.

Shen Maomao wiped the dirt from his face, turned his head with blood on his face, and said viciously: "What are you doing?!"

It's a pity that this didn't scare anyone. The boy who spoke first said, "Do you want to die in the mist? There are all kinds of monsters in the mist. Once you enter, you will be killed and shared."

It sounded like a kind reminder, but his eyes kept looking at Shen's mother, as if he was expecting some kind of reaction from her, and he was uneasy and kind.

Shen's mother seemed not to see it, she lowered her head and stared at Shen Maomao intently: "Maomao, shall we go home?"

Shen Maomao smiled at the boy: "Thank you for your 'kind reminder', if you have time to worry about us, why not think about how to escape from here next."

After finishing speaking, she looked at Shen's mother: "Mom, let's go. I also stopped the idea of ​​​​calling other players to go together.

The four walked to the edge of the fog, followed by a group of little tails.Shen Maomao hardened his heart and ignored the people behind him.

One second before stepping into the unknown, Shen's mother said softly to her: "Children, no matter what you hear, don't look back, and don't let go, remember?"

The three little ones nodded repeatedly, as if listening to an imperial decree.

Then they walked into the mist and the edge of the rules under the leadership of Shen's mother.

It's hard for Shen Maomao to describe his feelings. He can only say that the fog is similar to the fog in the back mountain of Lingyuan Village, but not quite the same.

They are equally viscous, and once you enter, you can't see anything, and you can't even hear the voices of people close at hand, but they are also very different.

The fog in Lingyuan Village is like water, and walking in it will wet people's sleeves, giving people a heavy feeling; the fog outside the school is like ice, so cold that it seems to frostbite the people inside. Her limbs were all stiff, and she could only walk mechanically, staggeringly following Mother Shen, not daring to let go.

She couldn't hear other people's footsteps, only her own.If she hadn't been able to feel Shen's mother holding her hand, she might have died of fright.

As she walked, she suddenly heard a scream from behind, accompanied by the sound of chewing from nowhere.

Shen Maomao wanted to look back conditionedly, but when he remembered Shen's mother's words again, his neck was slightly stiff, and he didn't dare to look back.

She remembered a myth in ancient Greece: Orpheus begged Pluto to return his wife, and Pluto made an exception and asked his wife to follow him forward, and told him not to turn back no matter what happened during the period.The king did so, feeling terrified all the way that his wife had failed to keep up.After finally arriving at the gate of the underworld, he really couldn't hold back. When he turned around, he found his wife faded and disappeared behind him, and he could no longer leave the underworld...

She was afraid that she would have the same fate when she turned around, but she didn't have a wife, so it was estimated that the only person who disappeared was herself.
