Chapter 19 is full of twists and turns
Ning Kitten's words made me feel a chill down my spine, and I couldn't help but glance at the slightly tumbling black water. The black water is as thick as ink, and you can't see the underwater scene at all.
"I'll go see her...... "Ning Kitten wants to break free of me, if I don't pull it tight, she will really plunge into the black water."
I didn't say a word, gritted my teeth, and dragged Ning Kitten backwards. Zhang Momo also came over to help, and the two of them grabbed one of Ning Kitten's arms, and it took a lot of effort to get Ning Kitten up from the reservoir.
After coming out of the reservoir, Ning Xiaomei was still looking down, it was not early now, for the sake of safety, we usually looked for a campsite in advance. There are still some collapsed buildings in this place, which can be leeward, which is very suitable for camping, but looking at the current appearance of Ning Kitten, I felt that it was definitely inappropriate to continue to stay, so I immediately took our things and went out.
Ning Xiaomei's usual temper is very docile, and she has no opinions, and she basically won't object to what other people in the team say. But this time, Ning Xiaomei was obviously reluctant, and under the pull of Zhang Momo and me, she turned back three times in one step. I don't care so much, the situation is unknown, so I can only stay away from this place.
We walked for half an hour, and it was already dark, and I didn't want to rush in the dark, so I made do with finding a place and setting up my tent.
Lao Wang died, I was the only one who kept vigil at night, Ning Xiaomei's mood was not very good, Zhang Momo finally showed his warm side and comforted her in the tent.
I smoked a cigarette and thought about what had happened after I entered Danmeng. Actually, my mood was not good, because, Lao Wang asked me at that time, and Zhang Momo also asked, these words were ominous signs. However, here, we don't even have a chance to take precautions, just like when the old king died, the danger happened suddenly.
I was a little frustrated, originally I thought, since Old Man Liu led us here, when it was time to appear, he would definitely appear, we just need to walk slowly, wait slowly. But now, the wait has become an ordeal, and I really don't know how long it will take.
I sat by myself for two or three hours, and Zhang Momo gently got out of the tent and walked next to me.
"The kitten is asleep?"
"Tired, sleeping, she's a child." Zhang Momo sat down beside me, took out the bag of Jiaozi that had been smoked for several days, and lit one.
I rarely communicate with Zhang Momo, and I always feel that she is a little unkind and cold. I've always avoided this kind of person, and when she sits side by side with me, I don't feel comfortable.
"The four of us got together, there is a reason for it, I have known Lao Wang and the kitten for a long time, I know them, you joined late, I don't know you." Zhang Momo smoked a cigarette and said, "I always feel that you are hiding something from us." ”
"What can I hide from you?" I replied casually, feeling that Zhang Momo was more difficult to fool than Lao Wang and Ning Kitten, and the process of me getting the longevity box and the left ear was different from them, because it involved my father, so I never told them these words.
"Hide it or not, only I know, I don't want to do so much, I just want to deal with this disgusting matter quickly." Zhang Momo didn't ask me anymore, changed the topic, and said: "We have too few clues, and now there are only two people who can be traced, the old man surnamed Liu, and the other one is the one who called the kitten first." ”
The four of us were able to get together entirely because Ning Kitten received a call from a stranger. It's not that I haven't tracked down this unfamiliar number, and I asked someone to check it on the mobile, but this number must have been registered with someone else's identity information, and except for calling Ning Xiaomei, the other call records are empty. The caller had made careful preparations to prevent him from being found.
This mysterious character who called Ning Kitten is undoubtedly very crucial, and if this person can really be found, then many puzzles will be solved.
I look at Zhang Momo, she shouldn't suddenly mention these things for no reason.
"Is there a way to find the person who called the kitten?"
"It's hard to find, but what's the way if you don't?" Zhang Momo also looked at me: "I've asked a friend to check it for a long time." ”
Zhang Momo is actually quite a simple person, I heard a little about Zhang Momo when I was chatting with Lao Wang before. Zhang Momo's father is in business, and he doesn't know what kind of business he does, but Zhang's father has a lot of energy in Huayang, and because of family reasons, Zhang Momo also has a certain connection.
Zhang Momo seemed to have a lot of words today, and asked me some messy things. I think she might have been a little skeptical of me. In order to avoid disagreements and contradictions, I will answer everything I can truthfully. The two of them were smoking and chatting here, and after saying that it would take an hour, she dropped the last cigarette butt and stood up.
"I've worked hard for you, and I can't sleep at night." Zhang Momo said to me as he walked, "You stay up first, I'll replace you in the middle of the night, and you can sleep for a while." ”
I wrapped up my clothes and prayed in my heart that tomorrow would be safe. I've never been so nervous in my life as I am now, and I feel precarious.
Just when I wanted to calm down and sort out all the scattered clues, Zhang Momo, who had just gotten into the tent, climbed out again and glanced around.
"The kitten is gone!"
I hurriedly ran over, the tent was empty, and Ning Kitten was indeed gone. Everything was left in place, not even the kettle, but the person was gone.
I felt weak all of a sudden, when I was talking to Zhang Momo just now, I was afraid of waking up Ning Xiaomei, so I sat seven or eight meters away from the tent. You don't need to look at it to know that Ning Kitten must have slipped away quietly while we were talking.
Now as long as something happens, it will make me feel frightened, Ning Kitten is timid, and he never wants to do anything alone, let alone be in the middle of the night. Zhang Momo and I looked around the tent, Ning Kitten didn't bring anything, in this kind of place, if you don't even bring water, it means that you will definitely die.
"Let's not look around here, let's go." I grabbed a small backpack, didn't even have time to put away the tent, and walked back with Zhang Momo.
I took Zhang Momo to the ruins of the small city I passed before, and at this time, even if I was stupid, I could guess that Ning Xiaomei must have quietly gone to the reservoir on the other side of the ruins. Walking on the road, my heart was panicking all the time, and I remember Ning Kitten's actions when she saw the small hole with black water floating at the bottom of the cistern.
"Faster!" I gradually quickened my pace, it had been about an hour since Ning Kitten slipped away, and we got up now to catch up, and it was already a little late.
The two men ran with all their might in the night, running desperately along the way they came. The night was as strong as a knife, but I felt like I was covered in sweat.
We ran to the ruins and rushed straight to the cistern. The cistern was quiet, and no sound could be heard, but there were obvious traces on the sloping sand that had piled up in the pool.
"Kitten!" I screamed, dropped my backpack and crawled to the bottom of the cistern.
When I saw the small hole rippling with black water, I was stunned. In the well-like hole, the black water surface was slightly undulating, and I saw Ning Xiaomei floating in it silently, and her body slowly drifted with the water waves. However, the diameter of the wellhead was only two meters, and with a slight movement, Ning Kitten's body touched the wall of the well.
At this moment, I was in a trance, and I felt that this well was like a small cage, detaining her and never escaping.
I went to the wellhead with Zhang Momo, and Ning Kitten's eyes were wide open, but they were already lifeless, stiff and unfocused. Her hair was all wet, a strand of bangs was clinging to her forehead, and her face was as white as a piece of paper.
I can't tell how I feel now, hurry up, we're still late, Ning Kitten died in this well.
We got her up slowly, the black water in the well was as cold as ice, and Ning's kitten's body was also cold like ice. I can't stand it, just like when Lao Wang died, a companion who gets along day and night, one moment he was talking and laughing, but the next moment, he became a corpse without any warmth.
