Chapter 30: Everything Wasted

Tang Muzhou's car drove very fast.

He looked very serious, and I tried to talk to him several times, but he ignored me.

Tang Muzhou stared straight ahead, holding the steering wheel tightly in his hand.

Seeing that he closed his lips tightly, I didn't say anything to him anymore, sitting in the passenger seat on the side, looking at the buildings on both sides, I suddenly found that although I was still in Qingshen County, everything around me looked strange.

As I walked forward, everyone on the street seemed to be crazy when they saw the car.

They, like the people before them, immediately lunged at our car.

Someone ran fast and threw himself on the glass next to me.

Looking at his face against my glass, his teeth were sharp and shining.

I saw him lying on the window, grinning at me.

Tang Muzhou glanced at him.

Then the car slammed away, and the man was thrown out.

The car finally drove outside the city, and there were fewer people chasing us, Tang Muzhou glanced in the rearview mirror, and the people looked a lot more relaxed.

Walking on the country road, Tang Muzhou kept looking left and right.

After a while, he suddenly pointed to a certain place and asked me, "Tang Xiaofan, is that place the farmhouse where we ate snake meat last time?" ”

I looked in the direction of his finger.

I saw a huge light sign over there, and the three big characters "Yuzu Garden" on it were very obvious.

Tang Muzhou drove into the farmhouse.

When we came down, we found that it was actually very quiet.

I still remember the last time I visited, the parking lot was almost empty, and I was very envious of the feeling of being full of customers. However, the coldness of the moment, even before, forms a stark contrast.

But now, this grapefruit orchard parking lot is more like an abandoned farm.

But I haven't been here for more than two months, and it's overgrown with weeds.

Tang Muzhou and I walked to the hotel, and along the way, the trees in the grapefruit orchard withered, and some were even uprooted and fell aside.

We kept walking forward, looking at everything that was happening in front of us, and our expressions became more and more solemn.

When I came to the door of the hotel, I looked up, and I saw the three words Yuzu far away, and under the flashing of LED lights, I could still see a little bit of the lively scene in the past.

When we entered the hotel, we found that it was empty.

Tables, chairs, benches, and so on, staggered around, cautiously moving forward, there were many broken dishes on the dirty, oily floor.

On the bar, in addition to a thick layer of dust, there were some broken pieces of paper scattered around.

I picked up the pieces of paper and looked at them, and there were some data on them.

The piece of paper was too fine, but from there, neither Tang Muzhou nor I could tell what it was.

On the wine cabinet behind the bar, many drink bottles are empty.

I just wanted to ask Tang Muzhou something, but before I could say anything, I saw him "shhh" at me, and then pointed to the kitchen and said to me: "Tang Xiaofan, let's go over there and have a look......"

I nodded and followed him.

We walked very lightly, and the hotel was quiet and scary.

Occasionally, stepping on a piece of dishware on the ground will make some "creaking" sounds.

In the whole hotel, mixed with such a little sound, it seems even more silent and terrifying. When I passed by the private room, the door was open.

I craned my neck and looked into the private room.

It was all a mess inside, some rooms were covered with cobwebs, some tables, and dishes that had not had time to be cleaned up.

Everything seems to be in such a hurry.

It seemed as if all the people had withdrawn suddenly.

The curtain on the kitchen door had been pulled down halfway, and Tang Muzhou had lifted the cobwebs that were wrapped around it, and he was about to go in when I suddenly heard a little movement.

The sound was "crackling" and very rhythmic.

The sound was familiar, I could hear it all at once, it was the sound of tapping on the keyboard, it was very fast, and it was very powerful.

It's exactly the same as what you hear in the office building of Ximen Station.

Tang Muzhou seemed to hear it too.

He paused, then looked at me again.

Looking at his movements and expressions, it seems to ask if I heard that? I nodded, pointing to the kitchen, signaling that the sound was coming from inside.

We stood by the door and listened for a while.

The sound kept ringing, not very loud, but the rhythm was always strong.

After a few more minutes, Tang Muzhou seemed to be unable to bear it.

He nodded at me and said softly, "Tang Xiaofan, let's go in!" ”

I hummed and followed him into the kitchen.

I've been in the kitchen of the "Yuzu Garden". The last time I caught that little snake, I sent it into the kitchen and saw the whole process of killing the snake.

At that time, the chef's skillful technique, I remember very well now.

Flowing water, all in one go.

And now, when I go inside, I find that the kitchen has changed a lot.

The workbenches, cabinets, and so on are gone.

The whole kitchen was empty.

The walls, floors, ceilings, are all white.

There is a lot of light coming through the white inner walls. Seeing this scene, I suddenly became nervous, and I unconsciously moved closer to Tang Muzhou.

He turned his head to look at me:

"Tang Xiaofan, are you afraid?"

I nodded.

He patted me on the shoulder: "I'm here, don't worry!" ”

Although Tang Muzhou said it seriously, I became more and more flustered in my heart.

Before Tang Muzhou suddenly disappeared, I don't know where he went.

Moreover, in a trance, I also realized a very serious problem, that is, the identity of Tang Muzhou, I haven't seen him for more than ten years.

He came out of the blue, saying it was my cousin.

During this time, no one confirmed his identity to me.

In the end, is he Tang Muzhou?

I really can't find it......

Thinking of this, I felt a chill down my spine, and looking at Tang Muzhou on the side, my heart was a little hairy.

The further I went, I could even hear my own heartbeat, Tang Muzhou's steps were very large, and his expression was very solemn, because in this bright space, we could clearly hear the sound of keyboard tapping.

This voice did not come from outside.

It's just hovering around the room, and it's like it's been around the beam for three days.

We walked around the kitchen and found nothing.

The sound of the keyboard is getting louder and louder.

We almost held our breath and searched for the source of the sound, and at last in a corner of the kitchen, we could clearly discern that the sound was coming from here.

Tang Muzhou and I glanced at each other.

Then we looked closely at that corner.

The sound of keyboard tapping is getting louder and louder.

Faintly, in the corner where we looked, a shadow gradually appeared......
