As soon as I walked out of the room door, it suddenly went dark, but then it was gone. It was as if someone had just lifted a piece of transparent black veil over my head.

I shook my head, thinking that I probably hadn't rested enough, and I was a little flustered, so I paused, and hurriedly walked out of the hotel door.

It was close to seven o'clock in the evening, and there were more and more cars on the road. No matter which city in China, as long as it is the peak of the class, it seems to look the same. The long queue of traffic from the streets to the alleys seems to have no end in sight. I looked at the red sign in front of me that said "There are passengers", and I dispelled the idea of taking a car.

Anyway, Cheng Xiao said that it only takes ten minutes to walk from here.

I turned on my phone and looked at the navigation, carefully avoiding the vehicles on the left and right, and gradually approaching the flashing red markers on the screen. After about six or seven minutes, the scene in front of me changed from a bustling metropolis to a corner alley, and all the places that could not be illuminated by the street lamps were illuminated by the incandescent lights of the night market.

I don't know why, I always feel that the night market in front of me seems to be full of some kind of magic, attracting me and at the same time faintly full of thorns. My feet seemed to take root and I couldn't move until a hand was on my shoulder.

I shuddered, my mind returned to reality, and I turned my head sharply to look behind me, and my body shrank back consciously.

"Oh my God, is it Miss Wu? What a coincidence, I just finished introducing you, and you're here today! ”

The voice is sweet, with the characteristic momentum of young people. As soon as I heard that it was Cheng Xiao, my spirit immediately relaxed, and I pulled the stiff muscles of my face and smiled back at her: "Yes, I'm idle and boring." Come and have a look. ”

"Don't say it, it's a coincidence, it's a festival in the night market today, everything is discounted, come on, come on, I'll introduce you to our special snacks here, oh." And there's fun to play. Cheng Xiao said, pulling my sleeve and walking inside.

She took a few steps, and suddenly it seemed as if she realized something. He stopped and looked at me with a strange look: "Miss Wu, hasn't that friend of yours been found yet?" ”

When she asked me that, I didn't know how to answer. If it is true. This girl is so excited that she will go directly to the police. I swallowed my saliva and said lightly, "Found it." I rested in the hotel, probably tired. ”

Hearing me say this, Cheng Xiao's hanging heart was completely relieved, and he strode me into the night market.

It's not an exaggeration to say it's dragging. I just felt as if I was being pulled by a magical force, into another world, a colorful one. But it's a dangerous world.

"Whew, whew. Come, Miss Wu, eat it while it's hot! ”

I was still shaking my mind when she shoved the hot skewers into my hand, still blowing in her mouth. I took it woodenly, suddenly remembered something, and said, "How much is this?" ”

"Oh, Miss Wu, don't see outside, this is my hometown, as far as the landlord is friendly, reads();! Although I'm a college student, I've made a lot of money working part-time, so I'll always ask for a skewer, I've been shirked, and I'll have time to play together in the future! ”

I was dumbfounded by her words, and slowly put the skewers in my hand to my mouth. The greasy heat and the smell of incense instantly captured me. This thing was like a medicine primer, which brought me into the bustle of the night market, and I realized that there were many people around me, and the noise almost drowned me out.

In the midst of this bustle, for some reason, I always felt that someone was watching me at the end of the road, and even felt that the darkness in front of me had reappeared.

"Miss Wu, what are you looking at, is it delicious?" Cheng Xiao asked when he saw me staring ahead.

"It's nothing, I'm not used to it when I first came here. But this one is delicious, come, order me two more skewers, this time I'm in for a treat! I reached out and raised the bamboo stick in my hand and smiled at her.

She probably saw my sincere smile for the first time, and she felt that her efforts had paid off, so she hurriedly ran over to buy it for me. At this time, the shop was already crowded with people, and it seemed a little difficult for Cheng Xiao to squeeze in. However, she was young and vigorous, and she didn't give the people around her a chance at all, so she twisted her body and squeezed in.

It's good to be young. I thought to myself.

Before I could sit in my seat, my arm suddenly felt pulled. I looked back consciously, and almost sat on the floor in fright. A crumpled slump emerged from the darkness, two gray eyes staring straight at me, and I screamed, but in the midst of the noise, my shout was drowned out in the sea of people.

The owner of this face slowly walked out of the darkness, and I was so frightened that I was afraid to move, and then I realized that this was not some ghost, but an old lady of considerable age. At this moment, she was leaning over and staring at my body with a cane, and I immediately felt as if I had been spelled, and I couldn't move.

"Miss Wu!" Cheng Xiao's voice came from my ears, and I realized that I had been looking at the old lady in front of me for a while.

Cheng Xiao sat next to me, and when he saw the old lady, he didn't show a surprised look, but said to her very normally: "Go back quickly, don't go far and people won't find you." ”

"What, you know her?" I asked in a whisper in Cheng Xiao's ear. The old lady didn't move, still maintaining the same action just now. I looked closely into her eyes, which seemed to be covered with a layer of gray gauze, reminiscent of the inferior glass marbles that I played with as a child.

I don't know if it's because she's old and her ears aren't very good, and it took a long time to react.

"You're in trouble." She opened her furrowed lips slightly, and let out a hoarse sound.

"You're in trouble." She repeated.

Seeing this, Cheng Xiao pulled up my clothes and walked forward. I looked back, but the old lady didn't chase after her, and still stopped where she was.

"It was an old lady from the fortune teller in front of her, blind, and sometimes she would take a walk in the night market. Don't look at her like that, you've never gotten lost in a crowded night market. Hey, yes, it is said that his family's fortune telling is quite accurate, do you want Miss Wu to try it? ”

I still had the four words that the old lady said in my head, and when I heard that I was going to tell my fortune, I waved my hand again and again.

"No, no, I don't like those mysterious things."

"No, it won't." Cheng Xiao smiled strangely, and actually took out a copy of "Persona" from his bag, "I don't believe that the big editor will not be interested in our fortune-telling here. Come on, come on, I still want to figure out if I can get into graduate school! (To be continued.) )
