Chapter 20: The Shadows of Nightsprings
The three-wheeled donkey is constantly bumping, probably in disrepair, the road in front of him is unusually broken, many of the ground is exposed to the sandy ground, plus this three-wheeled motorcycle shock absorption is very poor, then the feeling is not to mention, the car drove for less than fifteen minutes, simply even the asphalt is gone, completely turned into a dirt road, this time it is even more bumpy. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
I don't know how long I drove it, but just when the pack of instant noodles in Xing Tianyu's stomach was about to be turned upside down, the car suddenly stopped.
Xing Tianyu said in his heart that it had finally arrived, and when he looked outside, he suddenly looked confused, but there was a valley outside.
Xing Tianyu's heart suddenly tightened, could it be that he had encountered a robbery?
"Why don't you leave, master?" As he spoke, he moved his hands and feet, as he had experienced between life and death, and if something was wrong, he would not sit idly by.
"What's the matter, there's no road ahead, I'll be able to send you here at most."
"How far is Nightsprings?"
"Yequan Town is on the other side of the mountain, do you see the slope over there, there is a trail to go through after going up, you will see a small river when you walk for a while, and it is not far from crossing the river."
Xing Tianyu said it was really fake, and looked ahead, between the two hills, there was indeed a gap, and with his excellent eyesight, he could vaguely see a sheep intestine path extending into it.
seemed to see Xing Tianyu's hesitation, and the driver suddenly said, "If you're afraid of the dark, I'll take you back to the station hotel and come back tomorrow morning, but the car fee has to be calculated separately." The driver said, Xing Tianyu said in his heart that you had such an idea, and he didn't bother to ink, so he turned over and got out of the car and walked towards the path, the driver shook his head when he saw it, and drove away.
Xing Tianyu held the suitcase, walked on the path between the two mountains, when the roar of the tricycle disappeared, the surroundings suddenly fell into silence, the more he walked, the more he felt that the surroundings were terrible, and his heart said that it was really terrible, why did he run to this deep mountain in the middle of the night, Qin Ming, Qin Ming, you kid is really not a thing, it is not worrying to die and die.
Luckily, his eyes have night vision. Although the mountain road is hard, at least it will not fall into the air.
Walking up the slope, there is indeed a small road, because it takes too long for everyone to repair the weeds on both sides of the road have grown to the middle of the road, but the road surface is quite complete, Xing Tianyu walked along this road, this road is extremely tortuous, both sides of the road are either shrubs and weeds or mountains, making it difficult to identify the direction, fortunately there is no fork in the road, and I don't know how long I walked, and I suddenly heard a sound of water in front of me.
Bypassing the mound in front of you, a river appeared in front of you.
Fortunately, it is not a big river, only a few meters wide a small stream, a stone bridge that looks a little old across the river, the river under the bridge is turbulent, glowing black in the night, and there is a stone tablet at the head of the bridge, on which are written three faded red characters - Yequan Town.
Xing Tianyu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said that he was finally there, and after crossing the river, the area became open, and even saw a lot of farmland, but unfortunately most of them had been deserted, and weeds and some crops that had been degraded grew together, which made people inexplicably have a sad atmosphere, and continued to walk forward for a while, and in the distance, he saw the black outline of a town, which appeared in sight.
It should be the town of Night Springs, in the night, the town is almost silent, although it is only nine o'clock now, but there is hardly a trace of light in the town - no, in the middle of the town, a few lights can be faintly seen, but the lights are very dim, not like electric lights, but like lanterns and other things, the dim lights not only do not bring any sense of security, but with a bit of a strange atmosphere.
That should be where he was going, Xing Tianyu almost instinctively wanted to turn around and leave, but he forced himself not to do so, and instead walked towards the town.
Soon, he was stepping into the streets of the town.
The closer he gets, the more uneasy Xing Tianyu feels in his heart, this ghost place is too crazy, there are a lot of houses in that town, but most of them have been abandoned, some have no windows, some have collapsed walls, many abandoned houses have exposed black windows and gates, and there is a black hole inside, which is different from the simple loneliness when he was in the wild before, at this moment, walking in this abandoned town, Xing Tianyu does not feel lonely, on the contrary, he feels that he is being watched by many unknown existences, The dark windows and doors seemed to be man-made strange caves, as if they were hiding countless ill-intentioned sights, peeking at him in the dark.
He knew that it was just his own delusion, and as a child, every time he saw a dark cave or a bottomless puddle, he would always have similar bad associations.
Suddenly, a rush of footsteps suddenly sounded behind him, as if something was rapidly approaching behind him, Xing Tianyu turned around in fright.
But there was nothing behind him, he took a deep breath, the footsteps just now were definitely not his illusion, there must be something hidden nearby, he walked over slowly, bypassed a wall, a white shadow, and stood in the open space not far behind him, and when he saw clearly what the thing was, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, it was a white old dog, I don't know where it came from, at this time he was squatting in the middle of the street, staring at something, the footsteps just now, it is estimated that it was made when it ran.
Woohoo, woohoo! The old dog roared twice at the front, Xing Tianyu walked over, and looked in the direction of the old dog's gaze, it was an abandoned old house, the gate was gone, and only the pitch black inside could be seen, which looked no different from the abandoned houses around him, and the old dog's eyes looked at the darkness behind the door of the abandoned house, and a threatening low roar came out of his throat.
Xing Tianyu looked curiously and vigilantly towards the door, and suddenly he found something wrong, the darkness was so deep that even his eyes that could see through it at night could not be seen, this was the first time he had encountered this situation, he had not carefully calculated how strong the night vision ability of his eyes was, so he was a little unsure whether this situation was normal, for the sake of caution, Xing Tianyu still took out a flashlight and shone it inside.
The light pillar of the flashlight easily pierced the darkness in front of him, Xing Tianyu vaguely felt that the darkness in front of him was distorted, and there seemed to be a black shadow flashing and disappearing at the edge of his perspective, but after a glance, he didn't see anything unusual in the room, but on the floor in the corner of the room, Xing Tianyu saw a black hole, which seemed to be the entrance to a basement.
Shouldn't I go over and see what's in the basement? Xing Tianyu thought in his heart, his intuition told him that there must be something hidden in the darkness, an unknown secret, some mysterious existence, he should find out.
But the reason in his heart is telling him, don't be stupid, there's nothing there, you just walk in and see a deserted basement, there may be nothing in it, there may be some forgotten rags, or a few rats, snakes or whatever.
Xing Tianyu was entangled in his heart, life experience told him that he should listen to the voice of reason in his heart, but if he just went in and had a look, it seemed that he wouldn't waste much time.
However, he took a deep breath, closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, but in the end he did not take that step, whatever secrets were in the darkness, let it stay there, there were so many abandoned mansions in this town, if he had to look at every darkness, he would have to die of exhaustion.
Turning off the flashlight, Xing Tianyu was about to turn around and leave, but at this time, someone behind him suddenly slapped him on the shoulder.
