Wen Mo took out her mobile phone from the small bag on her waist, lit up the screen, and used it as a flashlight, she looked around, it was still an empty street, but fortunately, Xia Yuan was still by her side.

She remembered what Xia Yuan had said to her before dark, so she consciously took Xia Yuan's hand and said, "There isn't a lot of mobile phone power, we have to find the housekeeper before the phone is turned off." ”

Xia Yuan looked at the hands of the two of them, his heart was beating a little fast, and the roots of his ears were a little red in the dark, but fortunately he was not seen by Ah Yan.

"For ...... Why not contact him on your phone? ”

Wen Mu put the mobile phone screen in front of Xia Yuan and shook it, "I also want to get in touch, but I can't receive a signal in this village." ”

There was a moment of silence between the two, both worried about where the butler had gone.

"By the way, Ah Yan, did you say that the housekeeper forgot to take something and went back to the car?"

"Well, there is a possibility, and there is no other way now, so let's go to the car and look for it first."

As he spoke, Wen Mu pulled Xia Yuan and walked briskly in the direction he came.

The two walked for a long time, and they didn't see the entrance of the village when they came, let alone the car parked at the entrance of the village, and a strange feeling arose.

"Ah, do you think we've been gone for a long time?"

"It stands to reason that at our speed, we should have walked to the front of the car a long time ago." Wen Mu and Xia Yuan stopped, she took her mobile phone and took a picture of the surroundings, the village began to fog at some point, and the house that could barely be seen was completely out of shape at this moment, "I don't know why, I always have a feeling that we have been spinning in place." ”

"Could it be that we're going in the wrong direction?"

"This should not be possible, and I made a point of paying attention when I came in, because there is only one road in this village, and there are houses on both sides, and the back of the houses is also fenced off with stone walls. If we do go in the wrong direction, we should also crash into the stone wall. ”

Xia Yuan took out a small compass from the pocket of his coat that he didn't know when he put it inside, but the pointer on it kept spinning, "The magnetic field here has also been affected, so we don't know which direction we are in now." ”

"The fog seems to be getting bigger." Even though Wen Mu knew that Xia Yuan was standing by her side at the moment, she had begun to see his face clearly from just now, until now there was only a black blurred outline.

The two can only rely on the temperature from each other's hands to feel each other's existence.

"If we are still in the village now, then there should be houses on both sides of us, Ah, can the brightness of the mobile phone be adjusted up a little? Let's go to the house for a while, and then wait for the fog to clear before we can continue walking. ”

"Well, that's all there is to it now." Wen Mo adjusted the brightness of the phone to the maximum with one click, and the phone screen also popped up the words "low battery" at the right time, "Xiao Yuan, we have to hurry up, the phone will soon be out of power and shut down." ”

"Alright, let's go." Xia Yuan took the phone from Wen Lan's hand, and then habitually pulled her behind him, "Ah Lan, you follow me, I'll walk in front to explore the way." ”

"Be careful."

Although Xia Yuan walked very carefully along the way, after not taking a few steps, he still kicked something raised on the ground.

"Eh......h Pain, pain, pain. ”

"What's wrong?" Wen Mu looked at the black figure in front of him who suddenly bent down, and asked worriedly.

"Kicked something hard." As he spoke, Xia Yuan squatted down and took a picture of his mobile phone in front of him, only to see that what protruded from the ground turned out to be a stone slab that had grown moss, and then moved the light upward, looking like a stone staircase made of stone slabs similar to the first one, "Ah Lan, come and see, there are steps here." ”

"Steps? How can there be steps? Are they the steps in front of the house? Are there steps in front of those rooms? Wen Mu walked to Xia Yuan's side and stared straight at the dense fog in front of her, wanting to see if she could see the dark outline of the room, but no matter how she blinked, she still couldn't see anything clearly in front of her!

"I don't know, I didn't notice if there were steps in front of those rooms when it was still light."

"Then let's keep walking up the steps, maybe the next second will be the house."

"That's all there is to it now." After speaking, Xia Yuan stood up, cautiously stretched out his feet, stepped on the steps, and felt that the place where there was little moss on the side didn't seem to be so slippery, and after standing firmly, he turned to Wen Mu and said, "Ah Lan, when you come up, walk to the side, be careful of the moss on the stone steps." ”

As soon as Xia Yuan finished speaking, Wen Mu took the first step, but by chance, he stepped on the piece where the moss gathered, and the soles of his feet slipped directly, and his whole body leaned back uncontrollably.

Fortunately, the two of them kept holding their hands, and Xia Yuan was able to hold Wen Mu in time to prevent her from continuing to fall backwards.

"I told you to be careful." Xia Yuan took a few steps down and stabilized himself for Wen Mu, although there was some complaint in his tone, he still couldn't help but ask worriedly, "Are you okay?" ”

"Well, I'm fine, thanks to you."

"You're freaking me out."

At this moment, the light of the mobile phone screen in Xia Yuan's hand gradually became faint until it went out. He kept pressing the power button of the mobile phone, but the mobile phone was still black, "Damn, why is there no power at this time." ”

"There's no way around it, eh, Obuchi, what's your phone about?"

"At home."

"At home? Why don't you take your phone with you? ”

"It's not because you suddenly asked the housekeeper to come to me for breakfast that morning, I really thought it was just for breakfast, so I didn't bring my phone with me, but who knows that I haven't prepared anything, and I've already arrived at this hellish place." As soon as he thought of this, Xia Yuan was a little angry, how could Ah Lan bring him to this place in this way so casually.

"Xiao Yuan, don't be angry, this matter is wrong for me, I'm sorry, it's me who owes it to consideration, I just want to make myself feel meaningful, and I don't take into account your feelings at all." Wen Mu listened to Xia Yuan's sullen tone with some grievances, so he couldn't help but tiptoe and reached out and touched his soft hair, "There won't be any more such things in the future." ”

"Okay, okay, let's talk, it's already fine, so now do we have to continue to go up?" Xia Yuan smiled and took Wen Mu's hand that was rubbing it on his head, put it to his mouth and kissed it.

"The fog is still very big now, and there is no way to turn back now, so I can only continue to walk forward, I don't know if the fog will be smaller if I go up again, this time I'll go ahead, right?"

"Okay then." Xia Yuan stopped Wen Muan, who wanted to walk in front of him, "How can you let the girl walk in front, you still follow me." ”
