Chapter 317: The Labyrinth Forest Cabin (2)
Lin Ling said: "Today is Wednesday, you prepare for these two days, we gather at noon on Friday, have a meal together, and then set off." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
Ye Xi said: "Okay, in fact, there is nothing to prepare, the luggage that I packed last time is still there, just add or delete a few things." β
"Okay, now that we're done with business, it's time to gossip." Lin Ling winked at Ye Xi and asked, "How is it?" β
"What's going on?" Lin Ling's words without a beginning or end made Ye Xi confused.
Lin Ling looked at Ye Xi with a "don't pretend to me" look and said, "What, do you have to say it?" I heard that you asked Wen Yan out at noon today, didn't you go on a date? What happened to the results? β
"Dating? What! It's not a date at all! Ye Xi immediately denied it, but her cheeks flushed slightly, and she said, "I just want to talk to him about something." β
"Talk about things? What do the lonely men and widows talk about? Lin Ling is quite interested in this kind of gossip.
"Oh, don't worry about it, it's all a private matter." Ye Xi picked up the water on the coffee table and took a sip of it in a little panic.
Seeing Ye Xi's shyness, Lin Ling thought that she had gotten the answer she wanted, and said happily: "Great, our study group has a second pair, and if we match Lan Xi and Ming Kai, each of us will make a pair." When the last sentence was spoken, although Lin Ling's face was still smiling, a trace of cruelty and viciousness flashed in her eyes.
"What, don't talk nonsense!" Ye Xi couldn't sit still anymore and stood up.
"Okay, okay, I'm not going to say it." Lin Ling also stood up, seeing that Ye Xi was already a little angry, and knew that she couldn't continue to tease her, Lin Ling said with a smile, "Okay, can't I go?" I'm going to inform the others, bye-bye! Without waiting for Ye Xi to say anything, she pushed the door and went out.
I didn't expect to be able to harvest such a hot gossip today, male and female scandals have always been an important part of gossip, but Ye Xike has always been an ice beauty in school, no matter who she is, she is a little cold and indifferent, and now she actually has a spring heart, is it really because spring has arrived? But it's already the beginning of May, and spring has passed!
Gossip is a very important hobby of Linling, and those hot and private messages can always bring her endless happiness, and with such a big harvest, it is enough to keep her in a good mood for several days. Lin Ling hummed a song while going downstairs, and began to add details to Ye Xi and Wen Yan's gossip in her head, and it was easier for people to believe it if there were details!
As she reached the corner of the stairs, she glanced out the window without comment. The night lights in the city are bright, neon flashing, and between the dotted lights, a female ghost with her whole face shattered is smiling at Lin Ling.
"Ahh Lin Ling screamed, took a step back in a panic, leaned on the railing of the stairs, and looked closely, but there was nothing.
Lin Ling was stunned there, her face flickered brightly, her eyes flickered, she didn't know what she was thinking, and after a while, she whispered: "I know that I am very timid, so I shouldn't go to watch any horror movies, no, I have hallucinations." I don't know if Lin Ling is comforting herself or really thinking so, in short, after saying this, she seems to have really calmed down and walked downstairs quickly.
β¦β¦
On Friday morning, the weather was nice, with large clouds floating in the blue sky. Good weather generally doesn't mean cloudy, but considering that it's a bit hot now, it would be more comfortable for some clouds to block the sun from the sky.
Ye Xi got up early, opened his suitcase and checked it again, and after making sure that nothing was left behind, he dragged his suitcase and set off. Ye Xi has lived in this unit building for some years, and the floor is not high, so there is no elevator installed, she can only drag her luggage down step by step, but fortunately, she lives on the third floor, although it took a little effort, but finally went downstairs.
It's easier to go down, but if you come back from the trip, you'll have to find someone to help, Ye Xi looked back at the spiraling stairs, and walked towards the school with his suitcase.
Ye Xi's house is about ten miles away from the school, and she usually rides a bicycle to go to school, and if the weather is bad, she takes a bus or a taxi to get there, but today there is enough time anyway, and she plans to walk there. It's not yet nine o'clock, and even if you walk slowly, two hours is enough to get to school, so there's no need to rush.
Ye Xi put on headphones and walked while listening to songs, the road was full of traffic, it was very lively.
If you see a lot of things, you won't feel strange, and you won't think it's worth precious, for example, it's lively, and for many people in the city, they will even think it's too noisy to get a little quiet. But Ye Xi is different, although her temperament is a little cold, and she still has the title of ice beauty in school, but she likes to "watch the fun" very much. She doesn't like to be in the middle of the buzz, and she doesn't like to be part of it, but she enjoys watching from afar, which makes her feel ...... It's not that cold.
When passing by a bookstore, Ye Xi also walked in and took a look, which was a very small bookstore, and she used to search for books here.
The owner of the bookstore was a thin, middle-aged man with square-framed eyes, sitting on a wooden chair that was some years old, looking elegant. The arrangement here is very interesting, and there are all kinds of strange ornaments hanging on the wall, among which there is a bronze mirror in the shape of gossip, I heard the boss say that he bought it from an antique market, and it is said that it is quite effective, and I don't know if it is true or fake. This small bookstore also sells very special books, there are many books related to Eastern and Western philosophy and occultism, as a girl who is very interested in all kinds of supernatural events, ghost legends, this is a treasure for her, and the last time she came over, she also bought a copy of Enso's "The Art of Suicide".
But this time, Ye Xi was a little disappointed, there were more and more teaching and auxiliary test papers on the shelves of this bookstore, like a virus, encroaching without a trace, occupying the entire bookstore. Ye Xi glanced back at the boss, he was wiping his glasses, but his movements were no longer as casual and natural as before, but revealed a trace of impatience, and his whole body was also tense.
I'm afraid that a man of this age is also under a lot of pressure, he has to support the whole family with his own hands, both old and young, all aspects must be considered, and he can no longer rely on his own temperament. Nowadays, it is true that it is not profitable to sell those unpopular books in this society, on the contrary, under the pressure of the college entrance examination, both students and parents are more inclined to spend money and time on those teaching aids and mock test papers.
This made Ye Xi a little sad and helpless, time can always change a lot of things.
In the end, Ye Xi took a copy of the latest issue of "Bloody Handprints", and after walking out of the bookstore, she saw that the boss was still wiping her glasses, but she didn't know if it was her own delusion, she felt that he was not so nervous.
Just like that, when Ye Xi came to the school gate, it was already half past eleven, Yu Heng and Lin Ling had already arrived, and they were standing in the shade of the tree, chatting in a whisper. Lin Ling held Yu Heng's hand, her eyes were full of the sweetness of a little woman, Yu Heng was young and golden, gentle and humble, and quite handsome, of course it was worth being happy to have such a boyfriend.
Seeing Ye Xi, Yu Heng greeted him and said, "Xi, you're a little late." β
Ye Xi smiled embarrassedly and said, "There was a little delay on the way, did everyone else arrive?" β
Yu Heng said: "Lan Xi has already come, I don't even have a place to sit outside, waiting in the car, only Ming Kai is left, he hasn't come over yet." Speaking of Ming Kai, a hint of gloom flashed in Yu Heng's eyes, but it was quickly covered up.
"What about Fumihiko? He didn't come here either? Seeing that Yu Heng was talking about one less person, Ye Xi asked.
Hearing Ye Xi ask about Wen Yan, Yu Heng smiled strangely and looked at her with a look full of curiosity and inquiry.
I knew that the gossip girl's mouth was not solid, and the whole school knew that there was nothing that could be passed on, Ye Xi muttered in his heart and said, "Forget it, just when I didn't ask!" β
Seeing that Ye Xi was a little unhappy, Yu Heng hurriedly said, "Don't be angry, just let me say nothing, okay?" Wen Yan went back again because of something wrong, his house is quite close to here, and he will be back soon, don't worry. β
"I'm in such a hurry!" Ye Xi waved his hand, didn't want to say more, put the suitcase under the shade of the tree, and got into the car.
"What's wrong, angry?" Lan Xi, who was sitting in the car, saw Ye Xi come in and asked with a smile.
"No, there's nothing to be angry about, it's just a little annoying." Ye Xi said.
"It's just gossip, don't worry about it, it'll be dispersed after a while." Lan Xi said with relief.
"It's okay, what are you looking at?" Ye Xi didn't want to continue this topic anymore.
Lan Xi closed the book in his hand, exposed the cover, and said: "Anthology of the Prairie, a collection of Cassel's essays. β
"You like to watch this?" Ye Xi said with some envy, "No wonder your temperament is so good." β
Lan Xi smiled and said, "Now the best word to praise a girl is beautiful, and only those who are not beautiful will say that they have a good temperament." β
Ye Xi opened her mouth, she didn't know what to say, Lan Xi was indeed not very beautiful, her facial features were not very exquisite, and she was a little short and a little fat, but she really didn't mean that just now.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little embarrassing, Lan Xi said bluntly: "It's okay, I know that I am not very beautiful, I can only cultivate my temperament." β
Ye Xi also reacted at this time and said, "How can you be beautiful, can you eat it for a lifetime?" More than ten years have passed, no matter how beautiful it is, it can't withstand the destruction of time, but its temperament can be maintained for a lifetime. β
Lan Xi said: "That being said, but now it's really a face-looking society, and beautiful girls can always get preferential treatment in many places, especially in love. β
Ye Xi said disappreciably: "So what, there are a lot of people who don't like to fall in love these years and prefer to enjoy their single life, do they live for that little thing all their lives?" β
Lan Xi's eyes were a little gloomy, she lowered her head and pretended to look at the book of essays, and said, "But the description of love in the book is so beautiful, it always makes people want to try." β
"So, you can read less of the prose that celebrates love and more of this." As he spoke, Ye Xi took out the "Blood Handprint" from his bag.
Lan Xi glanced up and was startled, on the cover of the magazine was a man who had been dismembered, his internal organs and limbs were neatly stacked, his head was on top, and he was looking ahead with a pair of vicious eyes.
"What is this?" Lan Xi's frightened voice trembled a little.
""Blood Handprint", a very well-known weekly horror fiction magazine, I buy it every week, the stories in it are very good, I highly recommend it!" Ye Xi was quite interested.
"No, I don't like to read ghost stories." Lan Xi shook her head again and again, she would not be able to sleep for several nights after watching a horror movie, didn't she find guilt for herself by watching this?
"Don't, how do you know you don't like it if you don't try it, don't underestimate horror novels, the atmosphere description, the plot setting is very powerful, absolutely exciting! I'll recommend one to you. With that, Ye Xi tore open the package and began to look through it.
Ye Xi was holding it with both hands, and Lan Xi, who was sitting next to him, could see the cover of the magazine, and suddenly, Lan Xi pulled Ye Xi hard, and stammered: "Xi, he ...... His eyes are in ...... It's moving! β
Ye Xi put down the magazine and asked strangely, "Whose eyes are moving?" β
Lan Xi's face was pale now, and a drop of cold sweat was pouring out on her forehead, obviously frightened, she pointed to the magazine in Ye Xi's hand, and said, "It's the head on the cover, his eyes are moving!" β
"You mean this! Observe carefully! Ye Xi was not afraid, but elated, she closed the magazine, played with the eyes of the head on the cover with her hand, and said, "See, the eyes of this head can move, if you shake the magazine, the eyes will move, maybe it's because I was turning the page just now, so you saw his eyes moving, it's nothing, it's just a small mechanism." β
Hearing Ye Xi say this, Lan Xi breathed a long sigh of relief, stroked his chest and said, "So that's the case, it's scared to death!" β
Seeing a cover scared Lan Xi like this, Ye Xi closed the book and said, "Forget it, it seems that your guts are really small, so I won't recommend it to you, I originally wanted to read one to you!" β
Lan Xi smiled bitterly and said: "No need, my heart can't stand so much stimulation, I still feel at ease to watch my loose ......" Before she finished speaking, Lan Xi was suddenly stunned, because she saw the head on the cover of the magazine blinking at her.
