Chapter 779: Ghost Village (Medium)
I wanted to cry without tears when she dropped a sleeping bag without hesitation, and the sleeping bag was really expensive. didn't expect this girl to have the side of a little woman, at least the happy appearance of her throwing herself in her sleeping bag is indeed cute. Ever since the students of Class 5 began to die, she had not been seen smiling.
After a simple wash, the lights went out, and the whole room was plunged into darkness. It was also pitch black outside the window, and no light came in.
My spirits were still in high spirits, and it took me a long time, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't fall asleep. And Yuan Mengchen seems to be the same. She tossed and turned in her slightly wide sleeping bag, and finally couldn't help but say, "It's okay today, that thing didn't come to us." ”
"Yes. I don't know how long this good fortune will last. I replied absent-mindedly.
"It's past four o'clock, isn't it?" She was silent for a moment, and then said, "Did you say that in the old classroom of Class 5, there is another student's corpse?" ”
"I don't know." Although I was spitting out uncertain words, I was very sure of the outcome of the problem. There must have been a fourth classmate's body in the old classroom of Class 5, and if it hadn't appeared, I'm afraid the matter would have been over. We don't need to investigate any further, we can go back to Spring City.
But there are so many ifs.
"Don't comfort me, in fact, I know the result myself." Yuan Mengchen sighed softly.
"Sleep, we'll be on our way in five hours." I sighed, my heart heavy.
"If you don't say anything at night, will we all die eventually?"
"Of course, everyone will die. Even if there is no accident, it will die of old age. ”
"Don't digress the subject, you know what I mean." There was fear in her tone, "Will we be able to break its curse and survive it?" ”
"Absolutely. We've all avoided it so many times, and it's not in a position to take you, that's why it's threatening me. I smiled faintly, "Don't worry, you will live, live a very healthy life." ”
"Are you sure?"
"I promise."
I could feel Yuan Mengchen's eyes in the dark, commenting on me, "Thank you." That, I slept. Good night. ”
"Good night." I rolled over, closed my eyes, and tried to relax.
Is Section 102 of National Highway 1375 really in Xiawa Village? Could it be that the Bridge of Vain Death has some connection with the mysterious power hidden in the vacancy of Class 5?
Before going to bed, Yuan Mengchen's words just now floated from the cerebral cortex to his ears.
Will we be able to break its curse and survive?' ’
I turned over again, and resolutely replied secretly, "Stinky little Nizi, you and I, we will definitely survive." ”
Yes, I will surely unravel the so-called curse that has been attached to both of them. I want us all alive, healthy, and alive.
Under the pressure of death, even the time after falling asleep becomes longer. Before nine o'clock in the morning, Yuan Mengchen and I were awakened by a commotion. The room we lived in was on the second floor, and when I got out of my sleeping bag, I opened the window and saw that the whole street downstairs was filled with bustling people, many of whom sat down on the cold open-air mats, put their goods on the carpet made of cow and sheep leather, and shouted for them.
"What are they doing?" Yuan Mengchen, who grew up in a small city, had never seen a similar scene.
"I'm in the market." I replied with interest as I watched.
"Rushing to the market? It seems that I have heard of it before, but is it a kind of temple fair? She asked.
"Two different things. The temple fair is similar to the material exchange conference that is often said today. Its content is mainly the trade of agricultural tools before spring, and the trade of large livestock such as cattle, horses, donkeys and mules after autumn. The duration of the meeting can range from one day, to three or five days, to seven or eight days, or half a month. The period is interspersed with folk art performances with national flavors and local flavors. "I packed up my things, ready to go down to join in the fun, by the way to see if I can find some clues" and catch the market is a veritable trading transaction, the general time is shorter, more than a day, less than half an hour, the timing of the transaction is very important, so the word "rush" is added in front. Let's go down and take a look. ”
Yuan Mengchen seemed to understand and helped me pack my luggage. We went downstairs and found the shopkeeper, paid the money and asked for the deposit back before leaving. When I was about to leave the house, I remembered something, turned around and asked the shopkeeper, "Boss, how should I get from Gaowa Village to Xiawa Village?" ”
The shopkeeper was slightly surprised: "You are going to Xiawa Village?" ”
"Well, I'm going to do something." I explained vaguely.
"It's not a good place to go. Although Xiawa Village is only more than 80 kilometers away from here, the road is too bad. There is only one official road that was built hundreds of years ago. And it is inhabited by a sub-ethnic group of the Oroqen people. The shopkeeper scratched his head and pointed in the direction while chattering, "If you really want to go, you still have to be mentally prepared." Walking to the north on this side, most of them are people who run horses and occupy the wasteland, sparsely populated, there are no villages, there is no fixed road shape, and the route is changeable, it is easy to get lost. ”
"Luckily, your car has a high chassis." He glanced at our off-road vehicle, "After passing Gaowa Village, except for the more than 20 miles ahead, which is relatively flat, the rest of the area is very dangerous, not hills, but depressions and meadows. There are still some places where you can't see the road for a while, and now the winter snow has frozen the ground hard, and the car can walk a little. By the afternoon when the snow starts to melt in the sun, the mud on the road will definitely trap your tires. ”
Yuan Mengchen and I glanced at each other, and I also felt a little embarrassed.
"Otherwise, my nephew often goes to Xiawa Village to buy wild boar. He knows the road. You give you two hundred dollars, and I will ask him to accompany you on a trip. "This boss is quite good at business.
"Okay. You call him, and we'll go to the market first. "I agreed. Although the boss had deceitful behavior, he was really unfamiliar with the road ahead, and if the car was really stuck in a depression and a meadow, he would cry without tears. One more day of delay, one more student died in Class 5. And the two of us are a little closer to the danger.
"Okay, try to get back by 11 o'clock. If it's too late, I'm afraid I won't be able to get to Xiawa Village. Driving at night is dangerous and dangerous. The boss saw that it was a good deal, and he was in a very good mood, so he reminded kindly.
It's very dark in this place, and it doesn't get dark until eight o'clock in the evening. From 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., there are 9 hours. And the distance of less than 80 kilometers actually took 9 hours, an average of less than 10 kilometers per hour. It can be seen how difficult the road ahead is.
