Chapter 118: The East
"Boss Hua, what's that!"
The husband, who was standing at the back, suddenly noticed something and exhaled in surprise, and everyone hurriedly followed his gaze and saw a bag of flour under a table in the back kitchen of the restaurant.
"That's, flour." Boss Hua subconsciously responded, and then frowned a little unhappily, "Who is so boring to move my flour here?" ”
She walked over as she spoke.
"Huh! What's going on! Flowers' eyes widened.
The crowd gathered around with some curiosity.
It was a relatively small bag of flour, and strangely enough, the top of the bag was covered with all kinds of small cuts, and the dense density almost gnawed the surface of the bag beyond recognition. There was a lot of white flour scattered around the bag, and the rat footprints on it were clearly visible, making a mess of the ground.
It didn't look obvious from a distance, and at this time everyone looked closer and found that this bag of flour was really a bit miserable, like that, how many rats had to be the result of a night of hard work!
"Are there a lot of rats in this mountain..."Qin Xiao twitched the corners of his mouth and looked at Boss Hua.
Boss Hua also looked incredulous. There must be rats in the mountains, but whose rats are so idle? Drag a bag of flour from the kitchen to the dining room before nibbling on it!
"These footprints are a little delicate..."Wu Yi stared at the 'crime scene', and Leng saw a hint of fame in the messy footprints.
"What's wrong?" Yan You squatted down and took a closer look as he learned martial arts.
"All in one direction?" He looked up at the crowd.
The messy footprints clearly didn't belong to a single mouse, but strangely all of them were in one direction, looking like rats dragging flour here, standing on a bag and gnawing it, and then fleeing towards the east one by one.
"What a nuisance." Boss Hua sighed, walked to the kitchen, took a broom, and swept up the flour quickly. "Why are the rats coming in, it's very clean here."
As soon as the rat interrupted him, everyone forgot about the mountain ghost and sat down to rest.
Ji Yue and the others walked out the door. Martial arts exercise every morning when the thunder can't move, and they follow to breathe. As soon as he went out, he was startled by the scene at the door.
The leaves of the trees outside the door have fallen even more, and the ground is almost covered with green leaves, which looks very abnormal.
"What's the situation?" Chen Yutong looked up at those big trees and was surprised, "Why did half of the leaves fall off?" ”
The leaves of these trees fall off very regularly, and they are all half bald. The trees around the inn were all like this, with bare branches on one side to the east and lush foliage on the other. The half-yin and half-yang shape looks a little... Demonic.
At this time, the couple also walked out, and they were a little stunned to see this scene.
"It's only the beginning of October, and it's not yet the season for the leaves to fall." The wife looked at her husband and saw that he was also at a loss.
"yes, I've never seen a tree that sheds its leaves so neatly."
It's fresh and refined.
"It's weird and scary in the mountains... Why don't we go. The wife poked her lover's arm and whispered.
The husband sighed and took her shoulder and patted her gently. "The bus will only come after tomorrow, how can I get there now?"
"Call someone to pick it up!"
The husband glanced at her and smiled helplessly, "You forgot? There has been no signal since yesterday. ”
The wife was startled, and suddenly clenched her husband's hand a little nervously, and said anxiously:
"Then aren't we trapped in the mountains!"
"Don't be afraid, we're in a secluded paradise." The husband smiled and comforted.
"If you really think about it, you're not afraid of being an island to survive... No, survive in the lonely mountains? ”
His wife was amused by him, squinted her eyes and retorted.
"This is not a lonely mountain, besides, aren't we together, what are you afraid of?"
The two of them held each other back to the inn, and they looked a lot more relaxed when they laughed.
Several people heard the conversation between the two and couldn't help but glance at each other. Qin Xiao suddenly grabbed Ji Yue and Wuyi's arms left and right, and said with a sly smile:
"If it's really a lonely mountain to survive, or our chances of survival are relatively high, hugging the thighs of the two big guys!"
Xiao Hei, who was sleeping in Ji Yue's arms, was squeezed by her like this, meowed angrily, rolled his eyes and jumped to the ground.
Ji Yue looked at the mountain to the east again.
She was sure that what had happened in the past two days was something that had been at fault.
"Thinking about mountain ghosts?" Chen Yutong asked with some curiosity.
Ji Yue nodded, and said in a flat tone: "There is indeed something over there." ”
Her words surprised the three companions.
"Why do you say that, and have you found anything?" Chen Yutong was puzzled.
It can be said that among several people, she is the only one who doesn't know Ji Yue's details very well, but Ji Yue has never been the kind of person who talks about it, and there must be some basis for saying this.
"I feel it." Ji Yue explained.
Wu Yi and Qin Xiao became serious.
Martial arts have long been inintuitively wrong, and Qin Xiao can be regarded as blind worship.
Although she didn't feel anything, Xiao Fengfeng was definitely right!
"Are the shadows and knocks they say true?" Qin Xiao looked at Ji Yue and asked.
"Hmm." Ji Yue nodded. She was the first to walk towards the small square in the back, and the three of them hurriedly followed.
After confirming that it would not be heard by others, Ji Yue said lightly: "The dark shadow on the first night is actually these trees, which are controlled. ”
Qin Xiao's eyes widened.
"Jiyue is so humorous!" Chen Yutong chuckled, she was nervous for a long time when she saw Ji Yue being so serious, but she didn't expect it to be a serious storyteller!
"I don't think Ji Yue is joking." Wu Yi suddenly spoke, and the same serious voice made Chen Yutong stunned. She turned her head to look at the martial arts, then at Qin Xiao, then at Ji Yue, and finally lowered her head to look at Xiao Hei, who seemed to be staring at it with a smile, and suddenly felt that this world was mysterious.
"How do I suddenly feel... I'm out...? Chen Yutong blinked very innocently.
Wu Yi gave her a cool look and smiled, "It's normal for you not to believe it." I didn't believe in many things at first, but then I saw a lot of things that seemed unbelievable under the leadership of the elders in my family. There are really a lot of strange people in this world. ”
The samurai family is a family of martial arts that has been passed down for a long time, and knows many things that are not known to others.
Chen Yutong nodded stunned, still looking like he didn't understand.
What they said was too abstract for them to understand!
Ji Yue looked at her silly appearance and smiled slightly, squatted down and turned out a fallen branch from the green leaves on the ground, picked it up and held it in her hand.
"That's probably what it means." As she spoke, she injected a trace of spiritual power into the branch.
