Chapter 22: The Legend of the Lake of Sorrow
The blue sky is full of soft clouds, even if the clouds and mist are elegant, but they can't hide the brilliant light of the sun hanging high in the sky, the green shade of the leaves has fallen to the ground, the sunlight drills through the gaps in the dense leaves, and countless bright spots are painted on the ground.
Walking along the path of the woods, you can see a lake, surrounded by white clouds, colorful waves and shadows, the lake water is clear and clear, flat as a mirror.
Wait a minute! Lake!?
Could it be that this is the lake he is talking about? Just when everyone was immersed in this beautiful environment, Chen Xinyi's expression became solemn.
However, this day seemed to be very peaceful, and nothing happened, but this made Chen Xinyi even more worried, because she didn't know what would happen by the lake tomorrow, and all she could do was to keep an eye on the moon and tide cherry.
In the woods of the hill there are many small cabins, each of which is a two-story building, with a living room, kitchen, and bathroom on the first floor. On the second floor, there are small rooms with a double bed, TV, air conditioning, and private bathroom. It's not an exaggeration to say that such an environment is a vacation.
"Xiying~~~" Yuexiying was coming out of the room, and a small figure appeared beside her, "Come to my room at night to open a pajama party!" Maltose said, pointing to the room across from the Tsukishio Sakura.
In order to be able to participate in extracurricular activities with everyone, Maltose takes medicine on time every day and eats extremely light food, which is incredible for a foodie.
"Okay." Before Yuexi Ying could answer, Chen Xinyi, who came out of the room and stood behind her, agreed.
In the cabin where Yuexi Sakura and they were, there were some girls in class A and some girls in class B, and the room arrangement was two people in one room, which was very coincidental, Yuexi Sakura and Chen Xinyi were in one room, and Maltose and Yin Yuxun were in one.
The only disadvantage of this "vacation" is that the students have to cook the meals themselves, according to the school, so that the students can experience life through this "vacation".
Cook...... It is a completely unknown boundary for the "little princess" who has always been pampered in the family, and at this time, Yuexi Ying, Yin Yuxun and Chen Xinyi don't know what to do at all, but Xue An can only make some desserts, and he can't cook at all.
Just when everyone was worrying about what to do with dinner, Maltose suddenly stood up.
"Leave it to me for dinner!" She patted her chest and said confidently.
As a foodie, she is different from most simple "foodies", because she likes to eat, she often makes some delicious food by herself to satisfy her little gluttonous cat.
There are quite a few things in the refrigerator, although not complete, but these can still make a few decent dishes.
I saw that the little figure was busy in the kitchen, and after a long time, he brought out a fragrant dish.
But...... The appearance of these dishes is really not very appetizing.
Looking at this fragrant but unsatisfactory appearance, everyone hesitated to try it.
"Humph! If you don't eat it, I'll eat it. Maltose pursed her lips and expressed her dissatisfaction with everyone's puzzled expressions.
Seeing that the maltose was eaten in an orderly manner, the girls around were also eager to try it, and they all picked up chopsticks to pick up the dishes.
After a while, there were exclamations of admiration all around, and looking at these seemingly not-so-good dishes, the taste was still great.
The situation in the wooden houses on the girls' side is okay, but the boys' side is a little ...... Basically, there are no back to cook, but for the sake of face, none of them come to ask for help like a girl.
However, there is a small wooden house where the food on the table looks good, the smell is very attractive, and the expression on everyone's faces as they eat the food can be seen to be very good.
On the mountain at night, the stars in the sky can be seen more clearly, and the starry sky is particularly brilliant without the obstruction of clouds.
Maltose room.
"You're coming, come in, come in." Maltose, who heard the knock on the door and ran to open the door, saw that it was Yuexi Sakura and them, and hurriedly greeted them.
She walked out of the room, detoured behind them, reached behind them, and pushed them in.
"I mean, you know the legend of that lake here." After Maltose closed the door, he said while tinkering with something in the bag he was carrying.
"Where did you hear any strange legends, little girl?" Tsukishio Sakura knows that Maltose has been particularly interested in this strange legend since she was a child, and she has been collecting all kinds of legends.
"Found it!" Maltose pulled out two things from her bag, "I've always wanted to try this." ”
It turned out that what she had taken out of her bag were candles and lighters, and she first took out a lazy table from her bag, and then placed it in the middle of the other three girls on the bed, and lit it with a lighter after placing the candle on it, and the faint flame of the candle was barely visible.
"Smack!"
The room suddenly darkened, and the other three unprepared girls were instantly frightened by such a sudden darkness.
"Ha~ I've wanted to feel this atmosphere for a long time." Maltose suddenly sat in the vacant seat next to Yin Yuxun, "A few people sat around with only a candle lit, telling weird stories, it felt so good~"
Yuexi Sakura couldn't help but pat her head when she heard her words: "I really can't stand you!" ”
"Ahem! Be quiet and listen to me tell the legend~" Maltose pretended to be serious.
"This lake has a name -- the Lake of Sorrow." In order to maintain the mystery, the maltose paused for a moment
"Say it quickly," Chen Xinyi urged with some impatience.
That's what you want! Maltose is very satisfied, and some people are eager to hear their own stories!
"Ahem! The reason for this name is because of a very sad story. Maltose takes a deep breath and prepares to start telling the story!
"A long, long time ago, eh~ no, this beginning is too old-fashioned." Unexpectedly, maltose turned on the mode of self-complaining.
"Change, longlongago." Hearing this, everyone shouted in their hearts, what the hell is this?!
"During the Republic of China, a young lady from a famous and noble family fell in love with just an ordinary poor student, and this mountain is where they often come, where they talk about the world, tell their yearning for the future, and talk about their beautiful dreams.
However, the young lady's family must not agree with their affairs, but the young lady left everything and eloped with the poor scholar, and the two of them lived their own happy little life outside. ”
At this point in the story, it can be said that it is the most common kind, and the three girls who are listening to it also feel extremely bored.
However, happiness did not last as long as she wished, and one day, while the poor scholar was away from home, a masked man suddenly broke into his house and made the young lady light. Later, when the poor scholar came home, he learned about it, and instead of comforting her, he drove her out of the door, and she had no choice but to go back to the city. But ......"
Maltose paused here and picked up the water on the side: "Gollum" took several sips, "but when she returned to the city, she found that everyone looked at her strangely and pointed at her."
In this way, under the pressure of everyone's eyes, she walked to the door of her house, knocked on the door and shouted, 'Dad, it's me.' But when no one answered, she kept knocking and knocking, and at last the door opened. ”
"'I don't have a daughter like you, you get out of here!' She was very happy to see her father come out, but she didn't expect that she would usher in such words.
'Dad, I know it's wrong. I'm back, and I'll listen to you. That bad guy, I'm ...... I won't go to him again'
Although she said this, his father sneered: 'Negative man? You shameless woman, I had decided to agree to your thing, but I didn't expect him to tell me that you would take advantage of his absence to bring other men home. It's really ...... It's shameless, you ...... Get out of here,' and the door slammed shut. ”
At this point in the story, it became serious, and Maltose's tone became more tense with the storyline.
"She was going to go back to the house and ask what was going on with the poor scholar, but when she got to the door, she heard a woman's voice coming from the house: 'Nasty, don't touch people, but ah, you finally drove her away, they waited so hard.'"
At this time, the man's voice came: 'That old woman in the deep house won't let me touch it, I have endured it for so long, you will make me refreshed'
"You really hate it, but ah, I really want to see that woman's expression now, the family can't bear her, and her sweetheart drove her away again, it's really a bumpy fate~'
If she wants to blame him, she blames his damn father, what he did to my mother in the first place, I just retaliated with a tooth for a tooth." Don't talk about him, I miss you to death. ’
Then I heard the woman's 'ah' cry, and there was an unbearable sound in the room. At the door, after listening to the conversation in the room, tears had already fallen, and she couldn't help herself from making a sound. She ran away from there until she couldn't see the house, and she ran and ran, and she ran and ran to this mountain, where there were their memories, but now it seemed that everything was like this...... What an irony!
When she walked in front of the lake, she looked at the calm lake, and felt that there was no meaning in her life now, she never thought that the man she loved so much didn't love her in the first place, she didn't think that she would be arranged by him to be slight, now she is dirty, dirty and even her father doesn't want her anymore, she is so resentful, so resentful, why does this kind of thing happen to her, why. With such resentment, she felt that she could no longer live in this world. With a 'poof', she jumped into the lake, although the lake was not deep, but her heart was dead, and her body sank without any struggle.
When she raised her head, she saw that her long hair almost covered a face, and under the hair you could vaguely see a pale face, with bright red lips and tears in her eyes, but the tears were blood-red! And he said to the man, 'Why did you do this to me?'"
Suddenly there was a sound of the door opening.
"Ahh The girls in the room all suddenly screamed.
With a "pop", the lights were turned on, and the room was bright again.
"Wow~ Why are you yelling all of a sudden, the lights are not on!" Standing at the door turned out to be Shen Shaolun.
The girls' hearts that had just been frightened "bang bang bang" have not eased down.
"This is the girl's residence, what are you doing here?" Seeing the comer clearly, Yuexi Sakura said angrily.
Shen Shaolun himself was also frightened by the screams of this group of girls in front of him, but he didn't expect to say a few words to beg to be questioned.
"I'm your class guide, check the bed and see that you are not in your room, so go to another room to have a look." Shen Shaolun said very naturally, "Okay, go back to your room, this is not a school, it's not as safe as a school, don't just run around." ”
Helpless, Yuexi Ying and Chen Xinyi had no choice but to get out of bed and walk back to their room, walked to the door, and when they passed by Shen Shaolun's side, Yuexi Ying muttered in a low voice.
"Maybe it's just to come to the girl's house to hook up with the girl."
"I've heard it all~" Shen Shaolun, who heard what she said, was not angry.
"Hmph." With a light snort, Yuexi Ying walked back to her room quickly, and slammed the door slammed, as if Shen Shaolun was protesting outside the door.
Late at night, everyone has fallen asleep, but Chen Xinyi can't sleep for a long time, although the legend about the "Lake of Sadness" that Maltose said is just a legend, but the person told her to pay attention to the "Lake", will it have something to do with this?
What happens in the "Lake of Sorrows"?
