"cousin."
"What's wrong?"
"Have any colleagues ever said that you are actually very talented at messing things up?"
"Whatever you say, be serious. Don't forget, we are still surviving and fighting against the harsh nature!"
Inside the camping tent at night.
The cousin was rummaging around for something, but still did not forget to correct Gao Yi's thoughts.
"cousin."
Under the beam of the lantern, Gao Yi turned sideways, half of his face fell into darkness, and his eyes looked quite profound.
“If you pitch your tent ten feet away from your home, that’s not camping.”
Outside the tent on the lawn, many pedestrians turned around and passed by with strange expressions.
"What's the point? Didn't I tell you earlier? The important thing about camping is not the location, but the atmosphere."
My cousin didn't take it seriously at all: "Just like now, it's a pitch-black night outside the tent. I found a box of canned beef and was about to open it for cooking... Hey, where's my starter?"
"It's over, I seem to have forgotten my screwdriver..."
Seeing that his cousin was missing a muscle, Gao Yi put his hand on his forehead and looked helpless: "So our dinner is gone?"
In order to cooperate with his cousin, Gao Yi deliberately came back without dinner, but he didn't expect that it would be such a situation now. If he had known it, it would be better not to come.
I underestimated my cousin's ability to survive.
"If not, then there won't be."
After a while of rummaging, my cousin finally confirmed the fact that he didn't bring a screwdriver, moved the canned beef aside, and taught him earnestly: "In the wild, it's impossible to find food every time, and starvation is common."
"If you don't have a screwdriver, then there won't be one. We can just get used to being hungry..."
Gao Yi was completely uninterested in this kind of experience, which was purely about finding his own fault.
After a day of growing vegetables in his home, he was so hungry that his chest pressed against his back. Now that there was no dinner, how could he bear this?
Judging from his cousin's appearance, he was probably determined to survive the night. Gao Yi felt that he couldn't persuade him, so he could only use some extreme methods to force him to give up.
"Cousin, we have to eat!"
Gao Yi suddenly spoke, and there was no trace of performance on his face: "Being in the wild and falling into hunger is a very scary thing."
"ah?"
Gao Yi's serious look immediately calmed his cousin: "Why do you say that?"
"Because, this will lead to..."
Gao Yi moved his face mysteriously, looked around, and finally whispered: "Siren Head."
"Siren Head?!"
"That's right, Siren Head."
Seeing that the time was ripe, Gao Yi immediately continued while the iron was hot: "The head of this creature is different from other creatures. It looks like a siren."
"No eyes?"
"No!"
"No ears?"
"No! Let me finish my sentence!"
"Usually, through mimicry, it will be hidden in every corner of the city, acting as an ordinary siren. From the outside, it looks like a completely harmless background, but!"
There was a twist in Gao Yi's words, which made the cousin who was already a little bit into the drama couldn't help but ask: "But what?"
Gao Yi's eyes were deep: "But... they are cannibals."
"meaning!"
"The appearance of the siren is just a disguise to make their prey relax! The sound that has the ability to completely imitate is the most terrifying thing!"
"You may not be able to imagine how ecstatic you feel when you are lost in the dark night and suddenly hear the sound of police sirens in the distance? Just finding the source of the sound is just the beginning of all hope being shattered."
"A slender creature with a weird siren head, marching under the starless night, constantly broadcasting hollow voices, hoping to attract some lost lambs to its side..."
"stop!"
My cousin quickly stopped and rubbed his arms that were covered in goosebumps: "But what does this have to do with us being hungry?"
"Of course it matters!"
Gao Yi said matter-of-factly: "It can sense the poor people in the vicinity who don't even have enough to eat. Because as long as the food is from these poor people, it is destined to not cause any repercussions."
"In this way, it can hide in society more freely..."
"Stop! That's it. Don't use this trick to fool me. I won't be afraid."
My cousin looked like the thunder was loud but the rain was small, and he bluffed: "Just be patient and spend tonight. I will take you to eat crab roe buns tomorrow morning."
Gao Yi curled his lips, hung up the phone that had been on the phone, opened Penguin, and sent Xiao Di:
[You heard me, I need your help here. When it’s done, I’ll treat you to crab roe buns]
Within a few seconds, the other party replied: [Received! ]
Gao Yi nodded with satisfaction, found a place to lie down, closed his eyes and rested.
As expected, Xiao Di, who received the instructions, should arrive at the scene soon, forcing his cousin to give up the camping teaching and go to have dinner.
Soon.
"Hey, Ayi, isn't it time to go to bed yet?"
Seeing Gao Yi's cousin, of course he wouldn't let him go and immediately said: "Get up, I have something to teach you..."
Halfway through his words, he suddenly stopped.
Gao Yi opened one eye and looked at his cousin who stopped suddenly.
I saw my cousin looking suspicious. He suddenly stood up, put his ear to the tent, and listened carefully.
"What's wrong?" Gao Yi stood up and asked.
"I seemed to hear something..."
The cousin turned his head, his expression not showing any pretense: "Ayi, do you still remember the shouts of collecting rags?"
Under the light of the lantern, the tent suddenly felt a bit eerie.
Gao Yi looked at his cousin's side face that was half in darkness, thoughtfully.
"Call for collecting rags?"
He recalled some older memories and asked curiously: "Who will come to collect the rags at this late hour?"
My cousin shook his head: "This is what I find strange. Let's not talk about how long it has been since we saw a rag collector here. Even at night, there shouldn't be anyone shouting around collecting rags. This is very strange."
As soon as the words fell, as if in response, even Gao Yi heard a somewhat hollow voice in the distance.
"Tattered~rags~"
But compared to his cousin's surprise, Gao Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
He was very familiar with this kind of sound similar to the sound of a siren device. It seemed that the whistle must have arrived, otherwise it would not be possible for the rag collection shout to appear inexplicably late at night.
"Ayi..."
As the hollow shouts got closer and closer, my cousin put out the lantern, facing Gao Yi's direction in the darkness, and couldn't help but said: "The siren head you mentioned before doesn't really exist, does it?"
"Who knows?"
Gao Yi shrugged, turned on his phone, and sent Xiao Di a message.
[Not bad, very good at creating a suspenseful atmosphere]
[But don’t expose too much for a while, just keep a sense of mystery, otherwise your cousin will be too frightened and the gain will outweigh the loss]
There was no immediate reply. After about half a minute, Xiao Di slowly typed "?"
[I just left my home and am still taking a taxi]
[What's going on over there? ]
Um?
Gao Yi frowned when he saw Xiao Di's reply.
Xiaodi hasn't come yet?
Then who made the sound outside his tent now?
