Chapter 35: Footsteps in the Dark
She looked up at the sun hanging from the eaves of the corner on the roof of the building, squinted her eyes slightly, and said, "It's like a dream." ”
"You just want to come to this place?" asked the little sister.
Ling Junru nodded slightly: "Yes, I just want to come to this place." ”
Is there anything special here?" the little sister thought to herself, but she didn't ask. It's not something she's supposed to care about.
The sun slowly receded from the eaves, and twilight was rising. Ling Junru turned back to her and said, "Thank you for sending me here." If I were on my own, I am afraid that I would have been arrested by them before I even left Daqizi Village. ”
"In such an environment, it is not easy for you to survive until now. Xiaomei said.
Ling Junru tugged at the corners of his chapped mouth.
At this moment, several long figures suddenly rushed to the feet of the two of them from under the stone steps.
Someone came up from under the stone steps, and looking at the situation, it seemed that there was more than one.
"Someone is coming. Xiaomei said.
Hearing Little Sister's words, Ling Junru's face changed, and she hurriedly looked down the stone steps.
It was a long, steep stone staircase, and at the bottom of the stone staircase, sure enough, a few people walked up slowly. The leader was of medium stature, slightly chubby, and wore a green military uniform with no epaulettes on his shoulders, but bright red armbands on his strong arms.
Ling Junru's expression suddenly became flustered, and she hurriedly looked around, but there was only Jiang Feng and Jiang Shui here, and she really couldn't find a place to hide.
The little sister raised her chin in the direction of Wangjiang Tower and said to her, "Don't you really want to go in and have a look?"
Ling Jun was stunned.
"But......" She looked at the Wangjiang Tower in front of her with some hesitation.
"You see, there is a seal on the door, and there is a lot of dust on the door, and you can see that no one has been in this building for a long time. ”
"I'm ......" Ling Junru still hesitated.
"I think you don't have anywhere else to hide from it now. Unless......" The little sister glanced at the person walking slowly under the stone steps, and said, "Unless, you want to be discovered by them." ”
Ling Junru smiled bitterly: "With my background, if I am discovered by them, there is only one way to die." ”
"So what are you waiting for?"
As soon as the little sister finished speaking, she suddenly grabbed Ling Jun's thin wrist and flew towards the half-hidden window, fluttering into the air like a bird......
There was a "squeak" sound, and the window shook by the two of them.
The people under the stone steps finally walked to the top of the stone steps, and several people glanced at the Wangjiang Tower, and the leader said in surprise: "It's strange, why is the window on the Wangjiang Tower moving? Could it be that someone has gone in?"
The person standing beside him laughed and said, "You see this seal is still well attached to the door, and the building is so high, how can anyone enter!" He looked at the swaying window, touched his head, and said, "I see, it must have been blown by the wind!"
The fat man at the head nodded and said, "Reasonable, this wind blows...... I feel a little cold. He tightened his clothes.
A few people laughed and walked slowly into the distance.
Xiao Mei and Ling Jun fell lightly to the floor on the second floor, and the inside of the room was much darker than it looked outside. Except for a large patch of sunlight coming in from the window, the rest of the place was gloomy.
The little sister looked around, and there was dust everywhere she could see, and occasionally one or two cobwebs hung from the corner of the window.
"I used to come here a lot. Ling Junru said.
She stretched out her hand and pointed ahead, and said, "Here, there used to be a hollow carved wood grain screen, and the boss used it to separate two private rooms. When it is windy, you can smell the intoxicating woody fragrance through the screen. ”
She turned her head, looked at her side again, and said, "Here, there used to be a hand-made flowering rattan chair. On the table in front of the rattan chair, there is always a three-talent bowl that implies the meaning of heaven, earth and man. ”
"But now there's nothing here. The little sister said coldly.
"Yes, nowadays, everything has changed......"
"It's time for me to go. The little sister glanced out the window and said to her, "You, be careful yourself." ”
Ling Junru nodded, she looked at her little sister, as if she wanted to see her through.
The little sister walked to the window and tilted her head slightly. Ling Junru thought that she was about to leave, but to her surprise, the little sister not only did not leave, but turned her head and looked into the depths of darkness.
Her eyes were very sharp.
Ling Junru followed the little sister's gaze, and it was pitch black, and some vague outlines appeared. The two men were standing by the window, the sun shining just above their heads. The junction of shadows connects to the darkness.
There is sunlight on one side and darkness on the other.
One side is warm, the other side is cold.
Ling Junru shuddered suddenly, and quietly shrunk his neck. She looked back at Xiaomei and was about to speak, but was suddenly stopped by Xiaomei.
"Shhh......h
Ling Junru immediately closed her mouth and stood quietly beside her.
"Whew...... Wow, wow...... Oo......oo These footsteps stepped on the wooden floor of Wangjiang Tower, from bottom to top, from far to near.
Ling Junru suddenly shook all over, someone is coming?!
She hurriedly looked at her little sister. The little sister was still staring at the place, and she didn't blink her eyes.
Seeing Xiaomei's indifferent appearance, Ling Junru couldn't help but look over again......
The sound came from beneath the darkness, and Ling Junru clearly remembered that it was the only staircase leading from downstairs to the second floor. She had walked the staircase countless times. The sound is light every time, not so heavy. But she remembered that the voice was also "oh, oh, oh...... Wow, wow, wow......".
Somebody came up from downstairs? Who could it be? Could it be that the group of people I just saw had turned back again?
Ling Junru watched calmly with bated breath.
"Wow, wow...... Wow......"
The voice was getting slower and slower, but her heart was beating faster and faster.
However, when the last "ooh" was heard, there was no sound again for a long, long time. Ling Junru could hear that this sound was clearly on the floor of the second floor, and she seemed to have seen a foot gently peeking out from the railing of the corridor......
But it was only her delusion, and the voice didn't sound again for a long time. Her heart seemed to be fixed on the last sound.
"Poof...... "She felt her heart beat even harder, as if she could open her mouth and a heart jump straight out ......of her mouth."
