529.Chapter 529 - The Soul Boat
Rain near the equator is fast and rapid, and almost timed. "To ≠read the book w╬w╋w┼·1┼k╋a╬n┼shu·c·c·cEvery afternoon, a rainstorm came as scheduled, as if pouring all the sea water around Borli on his head. The torrential rain smashed on the roof of the car, accompanied by distant thunderstorms, which at one point made Chloe feel like a volcanic rockfall, almost smashing the roof through the car.
"Today's rainstorm is particularly severe."
What she was worried about was probably exactly what Store Manager Wan was happy to see: according to this rain, I am afraid that she will not be able to return to the city at night. Chloe watched as large streams of rain flowed through the car window, like a river. Maybe don't worry too much, the torrential rains in Borly come and go as fast as they come.
Approaching her destination, Chloe saw a misty white line in front of her, a river that had almost overflowed its banks, apparently rising from the torrential rain. Although she couldn't name the river, she seemed to be able to guess why all the bases in East Malaysia had retreated cleanly, except for the military supplies that were left behind so much that they are now called "treasure troves".
The bridge appears to have been built during the post-war reconstruction, and there was no bridge at the time of the Great Retreat. At that time, the troops stationed here may have been unable to transport all the materials in the base through the Guò 6 route because of the difficulty of transportation due to the obstruction of the river; Post-war strategic transport aircraft are even more scarce resources; The river was also too unstable, and all the supplies could only be left in the treasure house in the base, and only the personnel were evacuated......
It's just that what is the treasure in the treasure house that would make Meng Ji stay here for so long. Meng Zhen likes to fly and fighters, so is there any great advanced fighter in this "treasure house"? She bit her lip, feeling unlikely, because Meng Zheng relied on her own strength to fight, and it was impossible to stay in this place for some advanced fighter. ┣┠To read a book╋╠╋w、w^w/.^1=k-a·n^s'h-u/./c^c-
So, why exactly is Meng Struck staying here, and what is here?
She stared at the river, and always felt that the river was vague and invisible, but more like a river of mist like silk. In the confusion, there seemed to be something floating in the river, and it was black.
"This is the only bridge, and in front of it is my independent kingdom, the Upper Tang base. It should be said that it is the former Shangtang base, and I recently wanted to give it a new name. Store Manager Wan said proudly, and the car drove onto a simple steel structure bridge, "Not far ahead is another river, where the water system is very complicated." There is an airport at the base, which used to be only accessible by one general flight, every two weeks. Later, the bridge was repaired, and it was much more convenient. ”
Listening to Store Manager Wan's description, Chloe imagined what the troops would look like when they retreated. During the series of battles in the First Sino-Japanese War, Maleria was relatively calm and did not suffer great losses, at most the former American troops stationed at the easternmost Labuan base were tense for a while. She looked ahead, wondering what had happened from the retreat of the government forces to the sale of the base, why the Meng Struck she was looking for lived here, and why it was closed off after he left. There was so much she wanted to know on the other side of the bridge.
"Usually I don't come very often, it's raining too much. Tsk, I've never seen that much rain, and the river is overflowing. ”
Chloe smiled lightly, she felt that Store Manager Wan definitely wanted to keep her for the night, so she deliberately said that to scare her. But when she caught a glimpse of Store Manager Wan's nervous expression with wide-eyed eyes, she realized that he was also a little scared.
Store Manager Wan drove cautiously: "Today is really not a good time. To see ╠┝書┟w=w/w^.、1、k-a=n=s-h-u-./cc to and from the other side may not be so easy. ”
The raindrops were dense and crackling against the roof of the car.
Store Manager Wan's words seemed to be mixed with a hypnotic word, which made Chloe gradually enter a strange trance. Outside the car window, the torrential rain has flooded the heavens and the earth into confusion, and the borders are inseparable, and the white river seems to separate the other bank into another world. Her brain was completely empty, and she muttered something in a low voice that seemed to be being said, completely inaudible.
Driving in a rainstorm requires concentration, but Store Manager Wan is inevitably curious when he sees Chloe silent. Although he likes mature women like Xindi, today he is even more attracted by Chloe's enthusiasm and energy, and he likes the cheerful confidence of this girl, she is such a lovely girl who is impossible to defend. But what he just said actually made the atmosphere in the car suddenly cool down, and Chloe, who was still alive just now, was suddenly silent. Her eyes were dumbfounded, her face gloomy, and her full lips trembled slightly, as if she was attracted by some kind of monster on the other side of the river.
Store Manager Wan began to blame himself, he thought that he must have said something that he shouldn't have said, or inadvertently made this enthusiastic girl think of something sad. For destroying the wonderful atmosphere of romantic men and women that he imagined in his heart, Store Manager Wan blamed himself. He felt it was his duty to restore Chloe to the energetic and cheerful appearance she had just gone. In the eyes of Store Manager Wan, it was as if the rainstorm in front of him, which made a girl gloomy, was caused by himself, and he was also responsible for dispersing the rain clouds.
He meditated, trying his best to make up for the terrible, silent atmosphere.
What this long-tested store manager is most curious about is which of his own words is wrong. ⊥≠≧≡≈ to read ≡ book ≧∨≥≠≠ � ≮ ∈ w╬w╳w╳·1kanshu·c·c·c. If he is not sure, he doesn't even know how to speak. Keeping his hands on the steering wheel, he glanced sideways at Chloe, observing her. The platinum girl's gaze seemed to be drawn to the white, rushing river, which seemed to carry away her soul.
Koloy's stupid appearance reminded Store Manager Wan of a legend he heard when he gambled on the treasure house of the Shangtang Base. He slowed down and followed Chloe's gaze toward the river. Sure enough, there were a lot of black lumps mixed in the rushing water.
"I see." Store Manager Wan laughed in his heart. He felt that Chloe must have been attracted by the things in the river, and wanted to see what was floating in the river, so he calmed down because he had looked too closely. Thinking of this, his self-reproach just now suddenly disappeared, and instantly transformed into a learned man who wanted to save Chloe's curiosity.
"There's a lot of stuff floating in the river." He was going to hang Chloe's appetite first.
"Hmm."
Although there was no reply, this soft hum was enough for Store Manager Wan to be confused. He faked a cough. In order for a girl to appreciate herself, she must first hold her ground: "Those are the corpses of beasts rushing downstream. According to the locals, animals come to the river before they die, and then they breathe. Heavy rains make the river rise, and it washes the corpses down. ”
Chloe's eyes were blurry, and she wasn't quite sure what Store Manager Wan was trying to say. To be more precise, her attention was not on Manager Wan's explanation, but on carefully recalling what he had just said. In fact, Chloe's mind was exactly the same as Store Manager Wan's curiosity, and she tried her best to recall which sentence just now made her brain suddenly empty. ╋ Read the book w^w, w^.^1, k·a^n, s·h·u^.-c/cA very familiar and very sad sentence, a very important sentence, it is precisely because of that sentence that I have come to this wonderful foreign land.
"Why?" She whispered to Store Manager Wan.
"Why. Well, good question, I know why, but I'm afraid you won't be able to listen to it. The shopkeeper was triumphant, and he thought that Chloe was attracted by the stories he had heard, "They were waiting to get on board." Big journalists, you can write this in the report, it will definitely attract a lot of viewers. ”
"Get on board? The animals? ”
"Not just animals, but all living beings. If you're brave, you might be able to see it tonight. He glanced mysteriously at Chloe, "This river is a tributary of the Kapuas River, and if you follow it upstream, you will enter the largest river in Boris, Capuas. This is not an ordinary river, but a river of time and life. If you go up the river, you can go back in time, all the way to the source of the Capuas River, what the locals call the Stygian Mountain, and another world. ”
"Another world?" Chloe seemed to have another word that made him ponder.
"Uh-huh. The dead animals also want to return to their origins, so they want to get on board. ”
"Where's the ship?"
"Oh, don't you care. In the evening, you'll know. Store Manager Wan can be regarded as bringing the topic to the key, "This is rare, and you have to see those ships at night." When night falls, at midnight, boats will appear on the river, and there will be no one on board, empty boats. The ship is carrying dead ghosts, going back to another world against the current. ”
After saying that, Store Manager Wan was expecting Chloe to scream and throw herself into his arms. He drove cautiously, and then something went wrong at the critical moment.
But nothing came of it.
Frustration, strict zhòng frustration! Chloe made Mr. Wan feel like he was seeing Xindi again, which made him feel a great sense of frustration. Although compared to the greedy and mesmerizing and glamorous Hinty, Chloe is a different type entirely. But the two girls have exactly one thing in common, that is, they can easily capture their hearts, but they don't let themselves be released. Why did these women torture him, and what great men they had committed themselves to, so that they were so guarded to the point of invulnerability in front of others.
Store Manager Wan fell into great frustration. It was as if a sneeze had not come out, and a flame of passion had been extinguished in his chest, and the feeling of falling into an icy abyss made him shiver.
"Another world."
Chloe's voice was sweet, like honey that could never be licked.
"That's right, another world." Store Manager Wan replied weakly, "Those ships will return to the other side of the world and never come back." After all, it's not so easy to travel to and from the other world, you have to have a boat. ”
As soon as he finished saying this, Chloe suddenly jumped like a frightened deer, turned around, and grabbed the coat of Store Manager Wan: "What kind of boat, where is there a boat!" She finally understood why she was confused, and what was the sentence that made her heart drift away. Just now, Store Manager Wan first said the other side, and even said the word "other side of the world", which is by no means a coincidence, nor can it be a metaphor, because Store Manager Wan said that it is not easy to "go back and forth to the other side of the world", that is feasible. Well, the "boat" is the key.
On the other side, I'm afraid no one knows what this word means to Chloe, and no one can understand her excitement at the moment. The so-called "other side" is always a fact that is difficult for her to accept in her heart. During the war in the former United States, she continued to investigate and heard from many people about the whooping ghost and another "other shore" that is completely different from the current world. For many people, the other side may be a myth, or it may be some kind of beautiful belief or a world full of fantasy science. But for Chloe, it was a place she couldn't get to on her own. Attacked, but it is the person who is on the "other side". He is known as "the only Hundred Day Manipulator who can get to and from the Shore", which means that Chloe will not be able to find the Attack forever.
Chloe has always been confident that she can get him back wherever he gets hit.
But the other side is a forbidden area, a reality she doesn't want to accept.
The word "other world" can only make Chloe have such complex emotions. She didn't want to think about it, but she was already buried deep in her subconscious.
But on the other hand, Store Manager Wan was almost in tears. Although Chloe did not throw herself into her arms as she did with her unremitting efforts, her hands clutching her coat, staring at her eyes, and the breath of her words all pounced on her face, and that sweet feeling instantly surrounded Store Manager Wan from head to toe, and the hands and feet that were frozen in the rainstorm just now, at this moment, every inch of blood in the blood vessels was surging.
God, I don't know what miracle happened, and the torrential rain stopped instantly.
Borryan is truly beautiful after the rain.
Store Manager Wan drove the car across the bridge, full of pride and happiness: "Yes, the ship to and from the other world is my treasure." ”
