Chapter 9: Surfacing
But when I looked at Zhuge Mu, I found that he had disappeared, as if he had never appeared, and there was not even a single footprint on this yellow earth......
This...... Didn't we just stand together and chat? Why is it that in the blink of an eye, people are gone?
Could it be that I ...... Are you talking to yourself in the air again?
I raised my head in surprise and looked at the country road in the distance, in the quiet night, there were only a few lonely lamps, swaying alone in the wind.
It's weird, it's weird......
I shuddered, jumped on the bus, and urged the driver to get out of here.
Baigu Village at night, no matter how you look at it, it has a strange appearance.
Especially before, there was a fire here that burned a lot of people......
I couldn't help but shudder at the thought of this, now, who do I have to trust?
Zhuge Feng and Zhuge Mu, who is a human being and who is a ghost?
No, I can't think about it anymore, and if I think about it any longer, I'll have to drive myself crazy.
Sitting on the bus, I leaned forward, sat in the seat behind the driver, and accosted the driver in a loud voice.
"Brother, how long have you been running this line?"
Maybe he was really bored running alone at night, but when he saw that I was interested in talking to him, he replied to me very enthusiastically.
"Yo, that's a long time, after I was discharged from the army, I went straight to work in the bus company, to say the least, it will take twenty years, right?"
Twenty years? If this old brother has been running on this line for twenty years, he probably knows a lot of things.
Since Tang Lin told me just now that a fire seven years ago burned Zhuge Feng to death, then this driver should not know about such a big thing.
So, I quickly asked.
"Brother, I heard that there was a fire here seven years ago? Is there such a thing? ”
Hearing this, the driver smashed his mouth, and then shook his head.
"But no, brother, this Baigu Village did go once before, but not seven years ago, but fourteen years ago."
What's that? Fourteen years ago? Then why, Tang Lin told me, it was seven years ago?
I can't turn my mind now, so I can only continue to ask the driver.
"No, man, why was it fourteen years ago? You're not mistaken, right? ”
"Tsk, look, such a big thing, brother, can I remember wrong? That's right, it was the seventh day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar fourteen years ago, and at that time, there was a haunted house here, and it was this haunted house. ”
After the driver finished speaking, he put on a regretful expression and continued.
"Ouch, all seven people on the night shift at that time died, that's a miserable one."
What the! When I heard this, I almost slipped straight to the ground.
"Big brother, don't scare me on this big night, I sound weird."
Hearing me say this, the driver was still a little anxious, and he blew his beard and glared at me.
"Brother, do I seem like someone who has nothing to do to scare you? Fourteen years ago, this incident did happen, and I heard that at that time, there were two people who survived, but we don't know the specifics. ”
Is this a coincidence? Seven years ago, on the seventh day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, seven night watchmen died in our haunted house, and fourteen years ago on the seventh day of July, there was also a haunted house in Baigu Village where seven night watchmen died.
Two words immediately came to my mind, curse!
And this curse seems to be only happening around the haunted house.
I sat slumped in the seat of the bus, thinking about everyone I had seen.
Zhang Youcai is a person, I'm not sure what his situation is now.
And Liu Chunsheng, for the time being, should be a dead ghost, and Qin Xiu'e, who only has one side, doesn't seem to be easy to get along with.
There are also these two Zhuge in Baigu Village!
Zhuge Mu said that Zhuge Feng was dead, and Zhuge Feng said that Zhuge Mu was dead, and both of these people seemed to have problems.
And Tang Lin said that Zhuge Feng died in a fire seven years ago, but the driver's brother said that the fire happened 14 years ago.
So the two of them, who is telling the truth? Or is it true that what they are saying?
These things are all crowded in my mind, but I don't have a clue at all, if I can trust anyone now.
I'm afraid the most worthy of my trust is the security guard Jinbao who was with me that day.
Alas...... I sighed heavily, what did you say about this!
How many people in the world can be as unlucky as me? In addition to ghosts, there are still ghosts, bosses are ghosts, colleagues are ghosts, and I finally found a savior, it seems that the special one is also a ghost!
God, you have to have a limit to how you can play with people, right?
I cursed in my heart, and when I just wanted to speak again and ask the driver's eldest brother about Zhuge Feng and Zhuge Mu, I felt that my neck was suddenly tightened by a force.
At this moment, I felt that my collar had been stuck on my neck.
The thing that grabbed me by the collar was so powerful that no matter how hard I struggled, I couldn't break free, and the strength of my hands gradually became useless.
This is a precursor to hypoxia! It's over, am I going to be strangled on the bus like this?
Wait a minute! Bus? I'm on the bus, so how does this thing that grabbed me keep up with the speed of the bus?
As soon as this thought came to me, I felt that I was done this time, and something that could catch up with the bus grabbed me, what else could I do?
I remembered what Zhuge Mu said to me.
Don't go back tonight, if you go back, you'll die!
Why am I so disobedient? If I had stayed honestly, I might have fallen asleep by now......
That's it, let's die, it's a big deal, Lao Tzu started all over again!
Just when I gave up resistance, my body suddenly flew into the air and was dragged out of the window of the bus.
Ouch! I flew out of the window and crouched on the ground.
Although it was the kind of dirt road in the village, my butt hurt and howled, and I didn't care about being scared, so I rolled twice on the ground in pain.
But it didn't matter, I could see clearly, the man who dragged me off the bus!
To be honest, I never expected that the person who dragged me off the bus was actually Zhuge Feng!
Thinking of Zhuge Feng's cold body, I couldn't help but shudder, and subconsciously wanted to hide back.
"Zhuge Feng, you, what do you want to do, don't come here, don't come here!"
Seeing my reaction, Zhuge Feng also sneered, took the crutch in his hand, and pointed behind me.
"You bastard, you don't even believe in your own savior? Look at that bus! ”
Yes? Hearing Zhuge Feng say this, I quickly looked back behind me.
This glance almost scared my soul out of my body.
The bus that had just been carrying me was now rushing straight to the reservoir, until there was a thud that made me tremble and get up from the ground.
"Zhuge Feng, save people!"
Seeing the bus rushing into the water, I quickly called Zhuge Feng.
I was the only passenger on the bus, but there was a driver on it!
Seeing others die in front of me, I can't do this kind of thing, I can't help it, who made us a good person?
However, Zhuge Feng, who heard my shout, did not react, looked at me playfully, turned his head and left.
"Hey, Zhuge Feng! Hurry up and save people, the driver is still in the car! ”
I saw that Zhuge Feng really turned his head and left, and he didn't care about the pain in his buttocks, so he grabbed Zhuge Feng when he went up.
"Hmph, I almost killed someone, and I'm still in the mood to worry about others? Little cub, tell you, there is no one else in this car! ”
Grunt...... I swallowed, a little bit not too much to understand Zhuge Feng's words.
What does it mean that there is no one else in this car? No one else, does that mean the driver...... Not human?
Could it be that I'm talking to a ghost all the way?
"Of course the driver is a human, but he is not the driver of this car, the real driver is sleeping in Baigu Village now, you are in Zhuge Mu's trap, don't you know it?"
What? Am I in the trap of Zhuge Mu? What does this mean?
Seeing that I still didn't understand, Zhuge Feng sighed and said to me as he walked outside.
"A little trick will make you mess up? Tell you, Zhuge Mu did appear in front of you, and the reason why he said those words was to make you fall into the trap! ”
"Today, whether you stay or you leave, if I don't make a move, you will die, that bus driver is the one who cooperated with Zhuge Mu."
So that's it! Zhuge Feng said this, if I don't understand it, it will be too stupid.
To put it bluntly, I was in the dark, Zhuge Mu pretended to be a ghost and scared me, and then, in a hurry, I got on the bus directly.
However, the bus driver is also Zhuge Mu's person, so the so-called fire 14 years ago is estimated to be fake.
It was supposed to put me in a panic that he took the opportunity to run away and leave me with an empty car.
If I die in this car, then his purpose will be achieved.
Even if I escaped with my great fortune, in this broken place, I could only run back to find Zhuge Mu.
If I really find him, I will fall into his hands and fall into his hands, and I don't want to play with me, just play me?
It's insidious, it's too insidious! Is it so much in the way of my life to calculate me like this?
Seeing that I should have wanted to come over, Zhuge Feng came over and knocked me on a crutch, which hurt me so much.
Zhuge Feng ...... Mr. Zhuge , why are you beating me? ”
Zhuge Feng glanced at me, threw me a key casually, and then said to me.
"Drive back to the haunted house honestly, and remember to go to the funeral home to find me on the sixth day of the lunar calendar next month!"
