Chapter 35: The Brook is Sweet
The strange man on the screen came behind the female reporter step by step.
He took off the hat from his head, and the red crown on the head of the chicken stood upright, and the color was blood red.
At this moment, it raised the kitchen knife in its hand, and in the frightened look of Lao Yu outside the screen, it swung it at the neck of the female reporter!
Off the screen, Lao Yu screamed!
At this moment, the TV screen went black all at once.
On this side, the innkeeper had already received the new guests, and after registering the papers, he was about to take the guests upstairs.
Finding that the TV screen was black, the innkeeper hurried over to see what was going on.
Unplug the power cord and plug it back in:
"Recently, the voltage is not very stable, and the power is always cut off, and this situation has happened several times." As the innkeeper was talking, the TV screen came on again; "If this happens, I'll have to find someone to take a look, and if it's been like this, the TV will burn out......"
However, what the innkeeper said later, Lao Yu couldn't listen to a word.
His eyes were fixed on the TV, and the strange man who had slashed people with a knife was gone.
On the screen, the female reporter was still busy introducing the development of events. Lao Yu carefully observed her neck, which was safe and sound, without any signs of injury.
Lao Yu's heart began to beat faster.
Sitting alone in the lobby of the hotel, Lao Yu continued to stare at the TV.
For a few moments, he saw no trace of the strange man.
The cold sweat on his forehead kept going down, and Lao Yu didn't care to wipe it.
His breathing was heavy.
After a while, he got up, turned his head and looked at the crowded street.
Maybe it's raining on the other side of the mountain, and all the dull air is driven to the county town of Dongshan County.
Lao Yu felt suffocated.
Standing at the door of the hotel, Lao Yu took off the cigarette he had just put on his ear, lit it, took a deep breath, and his mood was slightly calmer.
Raising his eyes, he was stunned again.
On the other side of the street, under the old telephone pole, there was still the strange man in the suit, looking up at Lao Yu......
The cigarette butt burned quietly.
Lao Yu stared at the strange man for a long time.
The other party did not move, and he himself did not dare to move.
Finally, Lao Yu couldn't help it, he decided to step forward, no matter what the other party was, he must also find out.
At this moment, the strange man stretched out his finger at Lao Yu and hooked it gently.
That action was signaling Lao Yu to go over.
The cigarette ash fell on his fingers, and Lao Yu didn't seem to feel anything.
Throwing away the cigarette butt, Lao Yu stepped on it and extinguished it.
Gritting his teeth, he walked over to the strange man......
The innkeeper had arranged for the guests, and when he came down from the upper floor, he found that Lao Yu was gone.
There was still news on the TV.
The female reporter wearing a raincoat looked solemn, and the innkeeper found that Lao Yu's bag was still on the sofa, but the person was gone.
……
……
The strange man walked in front, his body erect, and although he was on crutches, his steps were very vigorous.
Lao Yu followed behind, not daring to relax at all.
Strange people, the flow of people shuttling around, no one seems to notice the appearance of the strange people.
The pedestrians looked indifferent, and their footsteps hung in a hurry.
The two of them just kept moving forward, passed through the downtown area, and came to the grassy road in the suburbs, and further along this road, it was a mountain road, Lao Yu remembered, this road was the road where he came to Dongshan County and had a car accident.
It was raining in the mountains, and there were no people or cars in sight on the winding mountain roads.
In the river next to him, the water splashed on the boulder, and Lao Yu couldn't tell whether it was rain or splashing river water that fell on his face.
After entering the mountain road, the strange man would look back at Lao Yu after walking a few steps, as if he was afraid that he would lose it.
Strangely, the suit on its body was not wet with water at all.
Following it, the icy rain washed away all the fears in Lao Yu's heart.
Lao Yu is not afraid that this strange person will harm himself, if he really has the intention to harm others, then he will not live until now.
Moreover, he did not die in the car accident a few days ago with the people in the minibus.
Nor were the bearded brothers buried in the coal mine.
It's already earned.
Therefore, no matter what happens later, Lao Yu will not lose.
I didn't know how long I walked along the mountain road, and the strange man finally stopped.
Lao Yu also stopped moving forward.
This is the corner of the mountain road.
The fence on the side of the road is twisted and deformed.
The river is turbulent.
On the ground, there are still small broken rocks, which seem to have not been cleaned up.
Lao Yu recognized this place.
This is where the minibus accident happened that day.
At that time, Lao Yu went out of the window and was pushed into the turbulent river by the huge thrust of the rocks.
The weirdo stood at the twisted fence for a moment.
Then, it turned around and walked directly up the mountain from the fork in the mountain road.
It's been a lot harder than just now.
There are a lot of debris and stones in the mud on the ground, Lao Yu Shen has one foot and one foot shallow, and the strange man who walks in front is still walking like a fly.
Along the way, Lao Yu was out of breath.
The further up we went, the heavier the rain became, and there was no sign of stopping.
Gradually, Lao Yu saw a house appear in front of him.
It was a row of bamboo huts.
Judging from the shape of the houses, it seems that this is probably a village.
A small stream passes through the middle, and the water is clear.
There are various unknown mosses growing on the shore. Take a deep breath, and the smell of grass fills the air.
Standing in front of one of the bamboo huts, the strange man stopped.
Turning around, it motioned to Lao Yu not to follow, just wait outside.
Then it pushed open the door and entered the house.
Standing next to the bamboo house, Lao Yu looked at everything in the village, which was very similar to the village of the clansman who raised chickens for a living as depicted in the tattooed man's mouth.
The water of the stream looked very clear, and Lao Yu was a little thirsty.
He squatted down, reached out and took a handful of water and drank it in his mouth, it tasted very sweet.
This kind of water quality is a very good choice whether it is used to cultivate farmland or raise chickens.
After drinking the water, Lao Yu raised his head.
A ray of sunshine fell on his face, and Lao Yu looked up and found that the sky was actually clear.
Lao Yu felt incredible.
It was still dark clouds just now, and Lao Yu squatted down and took a sip of water, and the sky was completely new.
Under the sun, a butterfly flew towards Lao Yu.
Its wings are colorful and flutter very powerfully.
Lao Yu stretched out his hand, and it landed on Lao Yu's fingertips.
After a pause of about three or five seconds, Lao Yu just wanted to pounce on it, only to see the butterfly fly again.
The flapping wings of butterflies, in the sun, sparkle brightly.
Following this colorful flower butterfly, Lao Yu walked a few hundred meters forward, and it landed on the head of a little girl.
It was a little girl of seven or eight years old.
Wearing an interracial dress, when he looked back at Lao Yu, he smiled very sweetly......
