Monument of Life and Death

  Chapter 499 Borrowing Face

  The two children giggled.

   "You guessed it right." One said.

   "You guessed it right." Another said.

  After speaking, the two children reached out to Xiaolan together.

   "It's yours."

   Xiaolan lowered her eyebrows and glanced at the two bloodshot eyeballs, and slowly raised her hands.

  The touch of the eyeballs was smooth and sticky, and Xiaolan watched them roll from the palms of the girls' palms into his own hands.

   "Don't give it to sister." The two looked at Xiaolan's eyes, very satisfied.

   "Sister?" Xiaolan thought of the voices of the two girls who carried the coffin into the room, "Sister...where?"

  The two girls looked at each other and smiled, and at the same time they stretched out their index fingers to their lips, and gave a mysterious "hush".

  "Don't disturb my sister." One said.

   "Sister is eating meat." Another said.

   "If my sister gets angry," one said.

   "I will eat you too." Another said.

  Eating meat?

  Could it be...

   "You...what kind of meat did you get?" Xiao Lan asked as if nothing had happened.

  The eyes of the two girls glanced at the eyeballs of Xiaolan's palms.

   "I won't tell you." The two said at the same time.

  Outside the window, a distant **** crowed suddenly.

  It's going to dawn.

  The two girls suddenly laughed sharply. One ran to the left and the other ran to the right. With the harsh laughter, they disappeared in front of Xiaolan.

  Xiaolan opened the front door.

   "Huh?" Behind him, a smart voice came, "Why did you come so early?"

   Xiaolan released the doorknob and turned around stiffly.

  It was a girl in her twenties wearing a yellow skirt. She was holding a towel in her hand, and while wiping the water stains on her hand, she walked towards Xiaolan.

  The yellow dress's face is also very similar to Xiaolan's face.

  唔...Will you grow up like this in the future?

  "What do you want to say," the yellow skirt smiled shyly, "why staring at me?"

   "I...I'll see you." Xiaolan replied humbly.

   The yellow skirt lowered her head, and didn't let Xiaolan see the smile on her face, "Is it because I didn't see you yesterday?"

   "Uh... well," Xiaolan nodded, "What's the matter?"

"Hey, don't mention it," the yellow skirt shook his arm, leaned over and took Xiaolan's hand. "The coffin we ordered yesterday was thrown directly out of the yard by those guys. My sister and I moved it. It took a long time to move in, which wasted time...Why are your palms sticky?"

  Xiaolan protected her pocket subconsciously, thinking that she had already stuffed her eyeballs into her clothes in advance.

   "Sweat," Xiaolan hurriedly changed the subject, "Did you have a good rest last night?"

   "What are you talking about? It's weird..." The yellow skirt glanced at Xiaolan.

  At this time, another girl walked out of the room by the corridor. The girl was about the same age as the yellow skirt, dressed in linen clothes, with the same face on her face, showing a gentle and friendly look.

   "It's you," listening to the voice, this is the slow girl yesterday, "Why is it so early?"

   "I'll see you guys." Xiaolan said quickly.

   "Hmph, I said just now that I came to see me, but now that I saw her, I became one to see her again." The yellow skirt threw Xiaolan's hand away and hummed dissatisfiedly.

  How many opportunities can a person have in his life to fall in love with himself?

  How many opportunities do you have, can you see yourself competing with yourself and jealous?

   Xiaolan has seen everything this time.

   Seeing Xiaolan's "clumsy tongue", the linen shirt took the towel in the yellow skirt and said, "Okay, why are you bullying him... Seriously, why did you come here so early today? Did something happen?"

  The yellow skirt also turned around and looked at Xiaolan seriously.

  "My house..." Xiaolan pretended to be embarrassed, "I don't know how to say it."

  The expression on the linen shirt became solemn, "Isn't there something wrong with the face, right?"

   Xiaolan thought for a while, this should be regarded as an accident.

  So she nodded.

"what?……"

  The yellow skirt and linen blouse looked at each other nervously.

  "Don't worry too much," Linen said to Xiaolan after thinking for a while, "You are fine now, which means that there is no problem with your face."

   Xiaolan sighed and let out a dull "um".

  The yellow skirt grabbed the sleeve of the linen shirt, "Sister, we have to help them."

   Xiaolan also looked at the linen shirt with eagerness.

   "But..."

   "Sister, we will soon be a family," the yellow skirt leaned to Xiaolan's side, "and anyway, those meats are our common enemy, aren't they?"

   Xiaolan skillfully took the shoulders of the yellow skirt, and said in a low voice, “If they succeed once, there will be a second time.”

  The linen shirt was very embarrassed. He lowered his head and walked into the working room behind, "Let me think about it again."

  The yellow skirt leaned against Xiaolan's arms, looking at her sister's back with worry.

  "Do you think my sister will help us?" Xiaolan asked.

  The yellow skirt turned white and Xiaolan glanced, "Who is your sister? What is your sister?"

  "Didn’t you say that we are already a family?"

  Some red clouds appeared on the cheeks of the yellow dress, and she elbows Xiaolan’s waist, "I said yes, you said no... I think you like my sister better, right?"

  She raised her eyes and looked at Xiaolan with a smile.

   is really enough.

  They look exactly the same, does it matter who you like?

  As the owner of this face, to be honest, even the two weird little girls last night, Xiaolan can hardly dislike them.

   Xiaolan never thought that she would still need to deal with this contradiction. She pursed her mouth and tried her best to show a petting smile, patted the head of the yellow dress, and said softly, "The only thing I like is you."

   I vomited, I really vomited.

  Xiaolan’s own toes in his shoes were embarrassingly digging the castle, but the yellow skirt smiled and pulled Xiaolan’s arm and said, "Go, I will take you to beg my sister, she will definitely agree."

   Xiaolan was dragged away by the yellow skirt obediently, "But, this should have a great impact on your family, right?"

"Actually, it's okay," said the yellow skirt. "I just lent you my face as a spare. Of course, it's not easy to take out such an important thing as the face, but since it's yours... …There is nothing to worry about."

   Xiaolan nodded with a guilty conscience, averted his eyes, did not dare to speak.

  Xiaolan looked at the other side of the workshop, where paper figures stood against the wall, and a heavy ebony coffin was placed among them.

  Behind the coffin, two dark faces appeared.

   is the two kids last night.

  They heard all the conversations between Xiaolan and Huang skirt. The two hid behind the coffin without saying a word, only staring at Xiaolan with two sullen faces.

   Xiaolan's stomach twitched.

  Only these two children know that Xiaolan did not come to their house early in the morning.

  Will they tell their sister?

  The yellow skirt followed Xiaolan’s eyes and saw the two girls. They immediately showed disgusted expressions, stretched out their hands and waved at them, “Go, don’t make trouble here, adults do things.”

  Xiaolan and the yellow skirt went forward. Several paper figures blocked Xiaolan's sight. When the coffin reappeared, the two children had disappeared.

   "They..."

The yellow skirt glanced at it casually, "Don't worry about them, two weird guys... Look at the coffin. Yesterday my sister and I moved the same one. I told you it's really super heavy. I've never seen it before. Heavy coffin!"

   Xiaolan wiped a cold sweat, "I heard that the material itself is very heavy."

   "That's true, but... eh? How did the coffin lid open?"

   said the yellow skirt, let go of Xiaolan's hand and walked towards the coffin.

  Coffin cover!

   "Wh...what coffin cover?" Xiaolan hurriedly followed.

   "The lid of this coffin," the yellow skirt pointed at the half-open lid of the ebony coffin, "It was still closed last night. Who opened it?...Even the paper man was knocked down."

  The yellow skirt lifted the paper man up and looked at the coffin with his arms in a hug.

   Xiaolan quietly moved to the open end of the coffin, "the inside is empty."

   "Nonsense," the yellow skirt crouched down and observed, "If someone is hiding inside, can the coffin be left open?"

   really makes sense.

   "It makes sense, it makes sense..." Xiaolan lifted his chin, frowned and pretended to be stupid.

   "I see," the yellow skirt slapped his thigh, stood up and said, "It must be those two children who are making trouble, it's really a beating..."

  Xiaolan's eyes widened slightly in shock.

   Seeing the pot flew to the two children like this, Xiaolan still couldn't bear it.

   "They... shouldn't be deliberate."

   "I don't fight for three days, I think they are going to rebel," the yellow skirt rolled up his sleeves, "Look if I will catch them and ask..."

  Catch it over for the first trial, isn't it just showing up?

   Xiaolan grabbed the angry yellow skirt and said hurriedly, "I feel that this was not made by those two kids."

  These words Xiaolan said righteously, after all, this is the only truth Xiaolan has said since entering the door.

   "Who else can it be?" the yellow skirt yelled, "It was fine when we put it on the ground last night!"

   "Maybe..." Xiaolan motioned to the yellow skirt to calm down first, and then leaned into her ear with a secret expression, "I think, there may be the same thing in your house as mine."

  The yellow skirt became wary, "What's the matter?"

"Didn't I just say that someone was thinking about my face?" Xiaolan pretended to be mysterious. "My home, I found traces of someone sneaking in the day before. The next day, our faces were almost It was stolen..."

"what do you mean……"

   "I think someone might also be planning to steal your face."

  After Xiaolan had finished speaking, the eyes in the yellow skirt became obviously frightened.

   "No...No, it's impossible for others to steal my face. I told your mother that your face is too easy to find. Hurry up and hide it somewhere."

   "It has been changed," Xiaolan said patiently, "but I think, just in case, we can exchange faces and use each other as a spare. What do you think?"

  Call——

After so much preparation, Xiaolan finally said what he wanted to say.

   "Exchange..." The yellow skirt rolled her eyes and thought for a while, "I have to ask my sister."

   "Then I..."

   "Wait for me, don't go home first," the yellow skirt walked to the wall and pulled up a curtain, "I will come to you later."

   Xiaolan then saw that there was a door behind the bamboo curtain, and the yellow skirt opened the door and went out.

  What should I do later?

   Xiaolan wondered how to deceive the two girls for a while. Suddenly, an inexplicable peeping gratitude made her cool behind her back.

   Xiaolan turned her head abruptly. As expected, two little girls were standing at the end of the corridor, looking at her.

  There is no smile on the two faces, their pupils are dark, like four invisible black holes.

  She walked a few steps closer, raised her hand to say hello to the two of them.

   "Hi," Xiaolan realized that he still didn't know the name of the family, "What are you doing?"

  The two little girls stood quietly, and their lips didn't even move much when they spoke.

   "You said you came to see us." One said.

   "Actually, I came to see my sister." Another said.

   Xiaolan was speechless.

   Really deserve to be a sister.

  "I came to see you..." Xiaolan spread out her hands wearily, "Your...that sister, and that sister, and you two."

   "Liar." One said.

   "Liar." Another said.

   Xiaolan helped her forehead.

  Fortunately, the person facing this problem is himself. If it is Baomu or an idiot, it is estimated that he has hanged now. If it is Luo Jiutian, it is estimated that he has already been cooked.

   "We have also prepared a gift for you." One said.

   "Prepared such a precious gift." Another said.

  "I still keep the gift," Xiaolan said hurriedly, "I cherish it, it's in my pocket."

   "If it is known by my sister." One said.

   "It will definitely kill us." Another said.

   "If my sister knows now." One said.

   "Then she will kill you." Another said.

  After speaking, the two seemed to smile.

   Xiaolan put her hand outside her pocket, feeling the outline of her two eyeballs.

   "You will become meat." One said.

   "It becomes delicious meat." Another said.

  The eyes of the two children were full of greedy smiles, and Xiaolan shuddered.

   "I want to eat meat too." One said.

   "Eat meat and become a mother." Another said.

   "I will become the mother body." One said while looking at the other.

   "I can!" another countered.

   "I can do it!"

   "I can do it!"

  "……"

The two started to quarrel like this. Xiaolan didn't realize what was going on. There was a rush of footsteps outside the door. Within a few seconds, the door squeaked open, and the yellow skirt and linen shirt left together. Come in.

  Before he came to Xiaolan, Linen opened his mouth and said, "I agree with your plan."

  The yellow skirt looked at Xiaolan and nodded.

   Xiaolan smiled with relief, turned his face to the end of the corridor, and glanced at the end of the corridor. The two children disappeared again at some unknown time.

   "It seems that the situation is really tense now." The linen shirt took off the confetti-stained jacket. "I also feel that the meat is getting stronger recently. We must make some plans in advance."

  Xiaolan agreed.

   "Our face is here," the linen shirt raised his hand and covered his right eye, "After the backup is completed, I will trouble you to take your face and give us a backup."
