Chapter 11: The Dark Skeleton
"The days are like rain falling in the window,
Cold and lonely,
I've been for a long time,
Draw the thread of love
Like a bird flapping its wings on a windowsill
Waiting for the joy of spring......"
It was late at night, and the open window brought a slight coolness, and it was obvious that the ann dye near the window could not sleep peacefully, so the poignant singing streaked across the silent air. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Xia Yutong tried to close her eyes but still couldn't help but look up at the starry sky, she couldn't help sighing, she put her arms under her head, and the stars winked at her. "Where are you now?" Xia Yutong said to himself, "I haven't been home for a month...... Xia Yutong sighed with a small mouth, adjusting his sleeping posture over and over again, but he didn't mean to sleep at all: "Oh, I can't sleep, I can't sleep." She sat up abruptly, and watched out the window as the lights went out, and the wind walked silently outside the window, brushing the shoulders of the black shadow on the stairs in front of the door, as if he were looking at something.
Xia Yutong tiptoed off the bed and put on his wide clothes, "crunch-" The sound of pushing the door seemed to disturb the atmosphere very much, since the singing in the room had stopped, open the door, the wind outside the door was so cold that it seemed to be lifeless, Xia Yutong stretched out his body, and his voice called softly: "Lauren, Lauren......"
Lauren, who was sitting on the stairs playing with pebbles, turned around, and Xia Yutong beckoned to him gently. He jumped up, "Rustle, rustle—
The ground ran over.
"Let's go, sister will take you to play. Xia Yutong bowed his head lightly and said, "Look at you so boring." Little Lauren bit her lip hesitantly and glanced strangely at her aunt in the room. "It's okay, let's go. Lauren slyly rolled her eyes, took her sister's hand, and the two went out of the small courtyard.
"Sister, I really can't sleep, I slept too much during the day, don't tell Aunt Kaidi. Out of the yard, Lauren's voice was still small. Xia Yutong held his hand, who is not bored, isn't she also unable to sleep? Just now I saw Lauren's boring way of throwing stones, I knew that it was a companion, hey......
The two of them just walked so ramblingly, and there were very few lights in the village, because Dad had said that rural people went to bed early and woke up early. Xia Yutong's heart hurts, when she thinks of her father, sadness will fill her childish heart, when she was admitted to college, her aunt gave her a strong hypnosis before she temporarily forgot her parents, so when she thought of their bone marrow, it hurt......
"Sister, the house in front is so strange, I want to go and see it. ”
"Huh?" Xia Yutong came back to his senses, he was too fascinated by what he thought about just now.
"What are you talking about?" she asked. Lauren's finger pointed to the small house in front of him, with the lights not very bright, as if there was no one, and the door was not locked. "Let's go back. "Xia Yutong didn't want to go. "You can't sleep when you go back?" Lauren shook her arm. Then he took her hand and walked forward. "Just for a moment. "Xia Yutong doesn't like this kind of black place very much.
Inside was a small, cramped room with a dark tone, with nothing but two lights and a staircase leading to the lower floor. Lauren seemed to be very excited tonight, and pulled Xia Yutong inside, and Xia Yutong dragged him back: "Oops...... I don't want to go down. ”
"Underneath this, I believe, is a huge library, or a mysterious underground garden. Lauren started making it up. But the hesitant Xia Yutong was immediately defeated by curiosity, and she grabbed Lauren's wrist. Step by step, step by step, down the stairs.
The staircase seems to lead to a closed secret room, and when you take a step forward, there are two more lights in your field of vision, and the footsteps of the two people are very slow and mysterious. "Sister, it's the end of the front. I don't know how long I walked, but the stairs in front of me disappeared, leaving only a black hole black. "There's a switch. Xia Yutong pointed to the white button on the wall. Lauren stood on tiptoe and pressed down.
"Whew-" Suddenly the lights came on in front of you, and instead of being dark, you were greeted by a room. "It turned on the lights...... It's a library. Xia Yutong pointed ahead in surprise. In front of it is a hut of about 30 square meters, surrounded by bookshelves full of books. "Oh—" Little Lauren seemed stunned, let go, and stepped into the room. Xia Yutong also walked in with surprise.
It's really spectacular, all kinds of books are divided into hundreds of layers, there must be at least 100,000 copies, Xia Yutong sighed.
Lauren ran straight over to touch the ornaments. "Lauren, don't run around. Xia Yutong said to Lauren without looking back. But Lauren had long been curious to take a look here and there. Xia Yutong walked slowly forward in the direction of the bookshelf, "There are still ahs ahead." "It's not too big, and the room is full of books, it's really spectacular.
Lauren was looking at the transparent goldfish in the tank, and Xia Yutong stretched out his hand to the highest position that could only reach the fourth layer, "It's really high." The front came to an end, and Xia Yutong just wanted to turn around and leave, but he was mixed with something under his feet.
"Oops. Xia Yutong staggered, and when he turned around, he saw a raised piece on the ground. Xia Yutong squatted down curiously and wiped the dust off it, it turned out to be a button. "Lauren, Lauren come over here. "Xia Yutong's name is Lauren, but this little guy has long been out of sight of where to play. Xia Yutong greeted for a long time without responding, so he curiously put his hand on the button and pressed it slowly. The sound of "squirming" sounded.
"Ah" Suddenly, Xia Yutong's feet were empty, and she fell suddenly.
"Brushing and pulling-" Xia Yutong felt that he had fallen into a slide, and his waist bone hurt strangely, but he kept sliding down, "I...... Are you going to fall" Xia Yutong's body seemed to be overweight, and he kept "rustling" down. There was no light in the slide, Xia Yutong was like falling into an endless wormhole, the smell of dust choking his nose rose, Xia Yutong kept scratching with his two hands, but he couldn't catch anything. "Labor...... Lauren, help!" Xia Yutong's voice trembled. It's just gravity that keeps her sliding in the slide without any "obstacles". couldn't catch anything, Xia Yutong's cold sweat came out.
"Ahh
Yes...... Hurt...... Xia Yutong shivered and felt for the flashlight in his pocket, pressed the switch, and struggled to cover his waist to get up, and the light of the flashlight stopped in front. A miserable white face came into view, and it was the face of a skeleton!"Ahhh......h
