Chapter 241: The Ghost Lingers

Are they like you, they all chose to go down the mountain? "I finished speaking in human language, and before I could make a gesture, I thought that something was wrong, the little fox came out of the Red Mountain Zoo, not a wild fox coming down from the mountain.

The little fox looked at me suspiciously, and I waved my hand to indicate that what I had just said was nonsense.

The little fox lay his hand on my arm and looked at the window with a blank look, maybe it was tired after a day of walking.

I kept my arms still, moved my body, found a position that was more comfortable for both "people", and looked at the flickering fire, and my eyelids gradually drooped......

Half-asleep and half-awake, I felt a cold on my arm, I opened my eyes, and found that the little fox was no longer on the sofa, looking at the time, I couldn't sleep for half an hour.

For the little fox who is not used to covering the quilt, this is the warmest place in the whole villa, and with me as his companion, there is no reason for it to sleep elsewhere, right?

I got up and looked left and right, and it wasn't in the living room.

"Little Red?" I shouted, this is the name Shan Dan gave her.

It took two calls before the little fox responded from the stairwell, and it came down, beckoned to me, and told me to go upstairs.

I put on my dried shoes and socks, and followed her up to the second floor, where there were three bedrooms, where there were small snoring sounds one after another, and the students were tired after walking for a long time, and they slept very deeply, and in the night, their carcasses were shrouded in a layer of light blue light, like a group of beautiful portraits in surrealist oil-made works.

But the little fox did not stop, pulled the corner of my clothes, took me up to the third floor, came to a study, the little fox lay on the window, tiptoeing, scurrying on the net, the fox is not a cat after all, the window sill above is very narrow, even if it jumps up, there is no place to stand, the little fox looked back at me, I understood what it meant, pinched its armpit, like a dog, lifted it up.

Good Nima weighs 30 pounds!

โ€œwhaoo๏ผโ€ The little fox barked and pointed to the southeast, and I followed the direction of its finger to look over there, and there was a dark mountain, which was where we had walked before, but it was deep in the dense forest, and I couldn't see the villa area below.

"What do you see?" I asked, it must have made some discoveries to let me up, canines are generally not as eyesight as humans, but at night, they are much more developed than humans, and I didn't see anything anyway.

The little fox tilted his head and thought about it, and asked me to put it down, and described it to me, and it was very complicated, huge, colorful, spherical, big and small, something in the sky, and said that it had seen it in winter nights at the zoo before.

I wondered for a long time, what is that?

"Balloons?" I explained the term to the little fox, but he couldn't figure it out, and refused to explain it to me further, saying that he had already made it clear and that I was stupid enough to guess it.

I lit a cigarette and began to wake up my somewhat groggy mind, when the little fox suddenly pointed to the butt of my cigarette and barked.

"Something to do with fire?"

The little fox nodded again and again, and made another gesture of covering his ears with his paws!

I see!

Firework!

Huge, colorful, big and small things in the sky, still only appear in winter nights, and you still need to cover your ears, isn't it just the big flowers that humans set off during the New Year, we also played with them when we were in the castle!

The little fox nodded again and again, and pointed to the other side of the mountain again!

No, if it was a fireworks, I should be able to hear it, and I didn't sleep much just now?

I threw the doubt to the little fox, and it said: the sound is not loud, only the sound of crackling and continuous, there is no explosion, but it can hear it very clearly.

"How many times?" I asked.

"At least three times, I saw the last time, big balls, colorful!" The little fox said.

I didn't know if this kind of fireworks existed, so I came to the next door and asked the staff on duty in the north and south rooms if they had seen it before, or felt the light of the fireworks, and the north window said no (in the north, of course, I couldn't see it), and it was Shen Zixin who was on duty in the southeast direction, and when I asked this, she frowned: "It seems to be...... There was a shining, but I thought it was lightning in the distance, so I didn't care, and as for the sound, I didn't hear itโ€”if I did, I would have poked my head out to look that way. โ€

"There will be lightning, and it will almost certainly be accompanied by thunder." I taught her this common sense of life, especially in the mountains, where the view is not very wide, and the interval between lightning and thunder is not too short.

"Teacher Xia, I was wrong, I will pay attention in the future!"

"It's fine, I suggest you open the attic skylight, poke your head out, and watch carefully." I say.

"Yes! I'm going up! โ€

Or should I ask other people, the little fox's insight into things in the world may not be accurate, thinking of this, I quickly went downstairs and went out, knocked on the villa where Xiaoxiao was next door, and asked them about the guards on duty at a high place, and like Shen Zixin's answer, I also felt the light in the southeast, but I didn't hear the sound.

The three of them became tigers, of course I can trust my own people, it seems to be true, and it can be inferred from this that the little fox's understanding should be correct, and things of that shape can only be fireworks.

This is not a good sign, at least it shows that there are people on our back road.

In the middle of the night, who will set off fireworks in the mountains?

Fearing a surprise attack, my villas would be leaderless, so I went straight to the top of the attic, lay down on the wet tiles (so as not to expose myself), and looked in the direction the little fox pointed.

"Can you be sure, what is the location?" I asked the little fox who was also lying next to me.

It nodded, and said that it was OK, but I had a different perspective from it, its paws were pointing, and it was still a large area compared to me, and the little fox thought about it, and looked closely, and with its pointed paws, on the tiles in front of me, accurately drew the shape of the ridgeline on the east bank (undulating shape), and then made a ร— with its paws at a certain point on it.

I looked for the little fox's hand-drawn "map" and searched for it, and it was easy to find it, and I had the impression that it was the place where we stopped and repaired, and there was an open space of about 100 square meters on the ridgeline, and some stones were piled up in the corner of the clearing, which was in a semi-developed state, and of course, it could also be an unfinished project.

I lay quietly on my stomach, staring at that point, and waited for ten minutes, but there was no movement at that point and around it.

I retracted my gaze and stared at the ridgeline on the tiles to relieve my night vision fatigue, and suddenly a small question mark arose in my mind: Could it be that it wasn't the top of the mountain, but the fireworks that were set off somewhere on the other side of the mountain?

Thinking of this, I whistled on the roof of Xiaoxiao's villa next door, and got a response, and after a closer look, it turned out that the person on duty was Xiaoxiao.

I told her about this doubt, and asked her to determine what was the position on the other side of the mountain. Xiaoxiao's brain is a living map + computer, and through the analysis of the itinerary, he quickly came to the conclusion: The location about seven or eight kilometers outside that direction is the place where we went up the mountain, that is, the logistics warehouse in Jingdong!

Well? Warehouse, then, could it be the survivor?

But at such a late hour, even though I was a curious baby, it was impossible to return ten kilometers on the ridgeline in the dark of night to judge the matter, only to think about it.

After lying on his stomach for more than ten minutes, the ridge there was still quiet.

Shen Zixin came up and wanted to lie down for me for a while, I got up: "No need, go back to your original post, it should be fine tonight." โ€

Back on the first floor, the stove was almost extinguished, so I quickly added some more firewood to keep it burning bright and warm.

No matter what happened over there, I forced myself to fall asleep again.

At two o'clock in the morning, I was awakened by the Xiaomi bracelet on my right hand, and climbed up to the attic again to check, but there was still no movement.

This time I didn't call the little fox, it was still sleeping downstairs, I stood on the attic stairs, looking southeast, lighting a cigarette, the air was filled with a faint smell of fireworks, it was the firewood in the ten villas burning faintly, I stretched out my finger to feel the direction, the wind direction in the col is a little unpredictable, changing back and forth, maybe it is a dead loop.

After observing for ten minutes, it was still fine, so I put my mind at ease, went back to the first floor, and continued to sleep with the little fox in my arms.

This time I slept soundly.

However, it didn't feel like I had slept for long, and I woke up again with a little fox bite.

"What are you doing, you don't let people sleep!" I opened one eye and complained lazily.

The little fox stood in front of the fireplace, gesturing with me with an anxious face!

"What?" I suddenly came to my senses, "Fourth-order zombies!" โ€
