120. Like falling into the abyss
When I went out, I found that the restaurant was unlikely to serve food at this time. When I passed by the grain and oil store, I glanced at it, intentionally or unintentionally, and the mother-in-law of the old Xie Tou was chattering with her neighbors.
Eventually, I went to the grocery store, where the shelves were all on the floor and the proprietress was still tidying up. I was stunned when I entered the door, but quickly recognized me, "Girl, why are you still in our town?" ”
I hesitated and replied, "The car is broken, and I can't go." It's been an earthquake, can you still sell me something to eat? There is no place to eat. The proprietress was overjoyed, and immediately got up and walked over and said, "Yes, what do you want?" I looked around, didn't pick anything, and pointed to the ground and said, "I'm going to buy some biscuits and instant noodles." ”
Xu is proprietress didn't expect that there would be a disaster in the town and business coming to the door, so she quickly took a bag and filled it for me, and she didn't need a computer to calculate it, so she said happily: "Just give a hundred." "I finished paying and carrying the bag back to the hotel, Xiaoqin was standing in the back room with her back to me, bent over, I didn't know what I was looking at, I didn't want to disturb her, so I went upstairs directly.
When I opened the door, I was still thinking about boiling some water in a kettle and making a bowl of instant noodles for Gu Xi to taste, but the person I was thinking about was already lying on the bed. With his long eyelashes closed, his breathing was even, and he had obviously fallen asleep, even his hair was dripping with water.
After staring at him for a moment, I sighed lightly, no matter how powerful he is, he is a mortal after all, and there will be times when he is tired. At first glance, I didn't think that there were shadows under his eyes after a closer look, and there was a tired look on his face.
But this is my room......
After silently nibbling on a bag of biscuits, I got up and walked to the bathroom, and sure enough, I found his changed clothes and pants inside. The heart said that he could go back to his room to get his clothes to change, so he wouldn't just sleep there? Muttering and rummaging, there seemed to be a faint fragrance in the air, and I glanced at the disposable shower gel that had been opened and smiled. Finally found the key to the next room in his trouser pocket, and when he got up, he hesitated and bent down to put his clothes in a bag and carried them in his hands, with his temperament, it was impossible for him to do the laundry himself, or I would do it for me.
I glanced at him again before opening the door and walking out. was occupied by the bird's nest, so I could only change to sleep next door, and I was about to open the door with the key, when I suddenly heard Xie Xiaoqin calling behind me: "Sister Yuan, can you help me?" ”
I looked back and saw her standing at the top of the stairs, looking helpless.
Immediately walked over and asked, "What's wrong?" How can I help? "This girl is actually quite distressing, she has been kept in the dark from beginning to end, only when her father died early, and she didn't know that her grandfather was wearing human skin but had the heart of a beast.
When he arrived, Xie Xiaoqin said: "There is a cabinet that is so heavy, I can't move it alone." ”
I nodded and said, "Then I'll go down and help you move together." ”
As she descended the stairs to her bedroom, it was true that the cabinet where she had taken mosquito coils had been knocked to the ground by the previous shock. The cabinet was shoulder-high enough to lift it on her shoulders with her thin arms.
I put Gu Xi's clothes in the corner of the door, and stepped forward with her to hold the cabinet left and right. The first time I couldn't get up, it was really heavy, and the second time I just half-lifted it up when I heard a loud noise, the cabinet door opened, and something fell from inside. I saw that there were still a lot of mosquito coil boxes, as well as disposable shower gel, shampoo and the like scattered on the ground.
Xie Xiaoqin looked like she was about to cry: "I just tidied up the rest of the place, and I'll clean it up again later." ”
Seeing this, I comforted: "It's okay, I'll help you clean up later." ”
It may be that some of the contents have fallen out, and the cabinet is relatively lighter. After helping her up, I squatted down to help her pick up something, maybe the lid of the shower gel was broken, and I smelled the faint fragrance again.
When I picked up the mosquito coil box, I found that it was heavy, and it was obviously there, and I thought to myself about what Xiaoqin said about the leftover mosquito coils she used before, and she only took a plate. After all, although the hotel business is not good, there are guests who come to stay and must use mosquito coils to repel mosquitoes. But although I borrowed it last night, I forgot to use it.
Soon he picked everything into the bag, and just as he was about to get up, he suddenly felt lightheaded, and one fell to the ground.
Xie Xiaoqin's exclamation came from overhead: "Sister! ”
I wanted to comfort her not to be afraid, but she was a little anemic and dizzy, but when I looked up, it was like falling into the abyss!
Seeing that Xie Xiaoqin's face was not surprised at all, but a weird smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Suddenly, I knew that I had made a huge mistake like Gu Xi, and even this mistake affected Gu Xi! From beginning to end, I was confused by the simple face in front of me, even when I knew that Xie Tianyuan was her father and Xie Fu was her grandfather, I still didn't put her in that category, and I was still distressed when I looked at her "helpless" eyes just now, but it turned out that the real stupid person was me!
She stayed here, not because she was simple-minded, but because she knew about Xie Fu and Xie Tianyuan, and she also knew that there was a secret room and a stone door underneath, and even she had entered it.
There was a most obvious fact before my eyes, but I ignored it.
Scents in the air...... It can cause people to hallucinate and make people's bodies weak! That's the scent of shower gel. Presumably, mosquito coils are also used for this, she has been preparing to stun me and Gu Xi since the night before yesterday, but she didn't expect me to borrow mosquito coils from her but didn't go to light them.
Not everyone who comes to this town is a wanderer, and not everyone will go to the school to hang around, it is impossible for the Xie family father and son to blatantly kill people, so how to get the sacrificial plate of the underground siege that needs living blood? Here's the answer.
I finally understood why they had turned the post office into a hotel, because the only hotel in town was a must-visit for wanderers, passers-by, or travelers. And the boxes of mosquito coils I picked up for Xie Xiaoqin just now, as well as those shower gels and shampoos, were her tools for committing murder.
What a terrible family this is, if Xie Tianyuan will be evil because Xie Fu's ferocity has never been hidden, then Xie Xiaoqin may have experienced it like this.
I wasn't completely unconscious, I just couldn't move. Xie Xiaoqin had already suppressed the smile on the corner of her mouth when she leaned down, and she actually pulled me up and carried me on her shoulders with great strength. I smiled bitterly in my heart, I just pitied her for her small strength, but it turned out that even I could carry it, which was really the biggest irony for me.
She carried me all the way to the room where Gu Xi and I had just come up from the ground, pulled open the partition with one hand, and threw me down. It was nearly two meters above the floor of the chamber from the partition to the bottom, and I was actually thrown to the ground, and a dull pain flooded around my body. But seeing that Xie Xiaoqin didn't look at me, I turned around and left, and I felt relieved at first, but when I thought about it, my face couldn't help but gradually turn white, and I secretly prayed that it would not be what I thought.
But five minutes later, I heard footsteps again, and my heart sank to the bottom.
It was a heavy footstep, heavier than when it had just carried me, and it had even slowed down, but it had come straight to it with a clear purpose. Soon I saw Xie Xiaoqin's expressionless face again, and my gaze shifted to the handsome face that hung down on her shoulder. There is a dull pain somewhere in my heart, I hurt you after all, Gu Xi.
If it weren't for my deep belief in Xie Xiaoqin, how could Gu Xi lose his guard against Xie Xiaoqin. The Xie family's father and son used all kinds of means to trap him, and in the end, they didn't expect to miss the hands of a woman.
It is estimated that Gu Xi's weight is a little difficult for Xie Xiaoqin, so she carried the person to this point, her face was a little white, and she stumbled when she threw the person down. I watched Gu Xi smash hard, and I was not the slightest frightened, but I was glad that I was under the cushion, and he didn't have to bear the dull pain of the bones around his body that were sinked.
When Gu Xi's body was under heavy pressure, he was not as unbearable as he imagined, and I thought it might be because he was large enough to cover me. Xie Xiaoqin then jumped down, and moved a stone to the side as a stepping stone, and covered the partition covered on it tightly. My gaze passed over Gu Xi's shoulder, staring at her to see what she was going to do.
After the partition was covered, she moved the stepping stone back to its place, and walked to the stone door, and stroked it with both hands.
I couldn't help frowning after looking at it for a while, as if she was looking for something. Is there something strange on that stone door?
As soon as I turned my thoughts, I heard a small rumbling sound, and my eyes widened in astonishment. Gradually a stone arched outward from the stone door, no, not a piece, it was a succession of palm-sized stones on the surface. Each piece is spaced about the same distance between them, but the rocks that emerge are of different sizes.
At first, I was just shocked that there was something else on the stone door, but as I stared at the stones that were only floating an inch, the blood in my body was gradually coagulating.
To be precise, it was not a stone, but a relief engraved on the stone door, but I don't know how to hide it in the stone door before. It's not without traces, it's precisely those marks that make me recognize the difference between each stone door, but where would I think that traces have another meaning.
These reliefs on the stone doors are no stranger to me. Because it has appeared in my nightmares countless times, and it is the fragments hidden in the pen pal paintings. What appears here is only part of it.
If so, does that mean that the other three doors are also littered with these fragments?
