Chapter 22: The Hitchhiker
Anne was puzzled by Inferno's behavior patterns, but out of the female driver's fear of the high speed on a rainy night, she silently followed Inferno's car.
"Isn't there someone who wants to get a ride here?" Wang Yuxin felt a little confused, "Then why did he park his car here, just to wait for our car to come?" ”
Anne didn't know what the situation was: "So where is he going to take us to pick us up?" Is it to pick up someone at the next high-speed exit so as not to miss us, so wait here? ”
Then Anne glanced at the navigation, and the next high-speed exit was clearly far away......
However, following Inferno's car, Yi Annie suddenly felt a sense of relief. The car in front of him drove very steadily, the red light of the taillights was not close or far, the speed was neither fast nor slow, and Yi Annie followed very comfortably.
This has to make people complain about the driving level of the two female drivers, Yi Annie and Wang Yuxin - their cars are a bit potholed, and they are all bumped by driving in the urban area.
Nothing happened, and the two continued to return to the previous topic.
"Annie, can you still write that report?" Wang Yuxin felt a little uneasy about pulling Yi Annie home and not seeing the outcome of this matter.
Anne shook her head, then told Wang Yuxin about the conversation she had with the editor-in-chief Charlie and Catherine at work in the morning, and finally concluded: "I don't feel like they care what I write at all." ”
After chatting on and off for more than half an hour, Anne found herself following Inferno's car still driving on the main road of the highway, which was still in the direction of returning to Summer City.
"Hey, it's strange, haven't you arrived at the place where you want to pick up someone for a ride?"
Wang Yuxin didn't answer, in fact, her voice had stopped for a while, Yi Annie thought that Wang Yuxin was probably asleep, and when she turned her head, she saw her body straight, sitting in the passenger seat without squinting.
Squinting at Yi Annie looking at her, Wang Yuxin said a little viciously: "What to watch, you drive well, how many American dramas and movies tell us not to chat with the co-pilot and look around when driving." ”
"Huh?" Yi Annie was a little aggrieved, didn't she always drive while chatting before, "But if you don't talk to me, I'm prone to sleepiness." ”
"Then turn on a radio station and listen." Wang Yuxin said and turned on the car radio and found an evening channel.
After ten minutes, Anne began to complain: "I am even more sleepy listening to the English songs, and it is too much to try to make out the lyrics inside." ”
Wang Yuxin took out her mobile phone: "Then I'll find you a Chinese podcast to listen to......"
"That's fine." Anne agreed.
Wang Yuxin flipped out the podcast APP on her mobile phone, flipped through a radio station with a two-dimensional review, and clicked on it, but the mobile phone prompted her that she was using traffic.
Emmm…… Wang Yuxin went to the background of her mobile phone again to see that her traffic was running out, so she had to look at what she had downloaded from the APP before.
As soon as she saw it, she wanted to cry, and the only set of downloaded audio was "Zhang Zhen Tells Ghost Stories", and now in this situation, listening to this will be a little frightening.
Yi Annie squinted at Wang Yuxin turning over the phone for a long time, and her fingers were not very bright, and she couldn't help asking: "You can't store some embarrassing Tanmei audiobooks in your phone, right?" ”
This guess is very much in line with Wang Yuxin's personality, and Wang Yuxin must admit that she did have a lot of that kind of audio in her last mobile phone. However, with the change of mobile phone, a website was harmed by an entertainment little fresh meat and had to be closed, so it was difficult for her to find new resources.
But at this time, she still stiffened her neck and said, "What's the matter, I just want to find an interesting podcast." ”
In the end, Wang Yuxin reluctantly loaded two episodes of the new May introduction with traffic, connected to the Bluetooth of Eanne's car and started playing.
After the two radio episodes, some lights could already be seen on both sides of the highway, which was a sign that he was about to arrive at Xiacheng, the most prosperous city in Nobel Province.
Anne was still following the Bentley in front of her, and the car never stopped.
was about to continue complaining to Wang Yuxin about this strange situation, but Wang Yuxin, the co-pilot, breathed a sigh of relief loudly and recovered from sitting upright to slumped in the seat.
"What's going on with you?" Yi Annie asked strangely, but saw that the Bentley car in front of her finally turned right turn lights, which was about to get off the highway.
Yi Annie didn't care about talking to Wang Yuxin anymore, so she hurriedly turned on the left turn light and followed off the ramp.
The exit was a small sea-view town, now a suburb of Summer City, and after less than five minutes, the Bentley followed Inferno's Bentley past a sail forest in the harbor, and in less than five minutes, the Bentley entered a hedged seaside estate.
Yi Anne slowly stopped the car at the gate of the manor: "Are we going in?" ”
Looking at the deep driveway in front of her, Yi Annie was a little hesitant, the electric door of the manor did not mean to close, Yi Annie was stunned for ten seconds and drove in. As you can see from the rearview mirror, the electric door closes behind her.
After passing by the dense vegetation at the door, it didn't take long for the two of them to see the end of the hedge, the harbor and the sea in the distance, and the water and sky were a little gloomy, but the headlights of the harbor were on, illuminating a nearby area, and several sailing ships were hidden in it.
On the other side, several houses are scattered on a flat land, and the main house is on the far side, and although it is only three floors, it looks very large. Judging from Yi Annie's poor knowledge, a building about the size of the house she lives in not far ahead is probably just a tool room.
"Wow, this place is too bad!" The two people in the car burst into tears.
In the distance, Anne could see Inferno's Bentley driving into the first floor of the main house, and she followed, slowly stopping in the circular driveway in front of the main house.
In the midst of their stunned eyes, a man in uniform came and opened the car door for them.
"Oh my God, I've been treated like a nobility."
Eaanne touched her little heart and followed the lead into the house through a small door on the side.
The guide also explained: "The main gate will only open when the banquet is held, and everyone usually enters and exits through the side door. ”
The two hurriedly nodded to indicate that they knew, entered the side door entrance, did not need to change shoes, walked a short distance, and then were placed in a small living room, although it is a small living room, but the area is larger than the living room and kitchen of the place where Yi Annie and the others live.
The walls of the living room are decorated with columnar decorations of dark wood, interspersed with silk wallpaper with white roses on a red background, and occasionally a high-end looking oil painting or two. In the area near the ceiling, there are similar wooden display shelves, on which exotic ornaments are neatly arranged.
In the middle of the living room stands a transparent natural gas stove, and the blue flame in the glass jumps, forming a decorative painting that changes all the time. The leather sofa has an intricate curved surface, and a TV screen about a person high hangs in front of it.
The whole decoration style is retro but with a wonderful sense of technology, which makes people feel nothing abrupt. Anne had some experience in interior design, but she never thought that the house could be renovated like this.
The two of them were so flashed by the retro European decoration inside that they didn't dare to come out, so they had to sit obediently on the sofa.
"Mom, I've seen the life of a rich man."
After a while, someone brought hot tea and some small snacks.
Anne took the opportunity to ask, "What about Inferno?" Are we waiting for him here? ”
The man laid out the food on the tray on the table and said, "The young master will come over in a moment." ”
Then the man left again, leaving Yi Annie and Wang Yuxin in the living room to look at each other.
Wang Yuxin spoke first to find a reason for Ferno's absence: "Didn't the exorcist stand in the rain waiting for your car before, and it is estimated that you will have to change your clothes first when it rains." ”
"What are we here for?" Anne felt that something was wrong with her IQ, "Didn't he say someone wanted a ride?" ”
Wang Yuxin covered her face: "Don't tell me to take a ride, who said that I am in a hurry." ”
Yi Annie didn't know why: "What's your situation?" ”
Wang Yuxin looked at Yi Annie with some resentment: "Didn't I say before, don't you look around and drive well?" ”
Yi Annie nodded to indicate that she knew that sentence, and it seemed that since then, Wang Yuxin has become a little strange.
"Because at that time, I found two people sitting in the back seat of your car!"
"Plop!" Anne slipped off the couch and fell to the floor, but fortunately they hadn't touched the tea in front of them, otherwise it would have been knocked over to the expensive carpet under the coffee table.
Wang Yuxin continued to cover her face: "That's why I didn't tell you that there was someone behind me at the time, if I dared to say it at that time, we would probably have been destroyed and killed." ”
“…… And then what? Are they still in my car? Yi Annie shuddered, and felt a cool breath from the tail vertebrae to the top of her head.
Wang Yuxin shook his head: "Before we got off the highway, they were gone...... Probably got off the bus...... bar. ”
Eaanne's mind was in turmoil.
So there really is a ride?
And it's two ghosts?
This world is not scientific!
But then they thought about it, when did the world ever be scientific, and only a few hours ago did they see a "living" female ghost!
Yi Annie continued to shiver, poured herself a cup of tea with a somewhat trembling hand, and also brought Wang Yuxin a cup.
The warm tea soothed their somewhat cold bodies, and the unusually delicious refreshments provided enough sugar as if they had magical powers, and the two gradually calmed down - at least they looked alive now.
"So, there are really ghosts in the car, it's quite exciting to think about." "So, what do those two hitchhikers look like?" ”
Wang Yuxin wiped the cake crumbs on her lips: "It's just two black shadows, I don't dare to turn around and take a closer look." ”
While chatting, Inferno changed into a slightly casual set of clothes and entered the living room, sat on the single sofa on the side of the two, and crossed Erlang's legs.
The man who had served the tea before also came, poured a cup of tea for Inferno, gave it to him, and withdrew.
