The chandelier should be custom-made, European-style streamlined style, and the overall shape is an ancient version of the word 'Shou', which was very popular in the first two years.

For a while, I thought that the chandelier might be hollow in the middle, and some small insects were trapped in it, and the constant crawling would cause such a sound of the rope, so I reached out to turn on the light, but just as my hand was about to lean on the switch, there was a muffled sound upstairs, and the sound of insects crawling came to an abrupt end.

I held my breath in the darkness, stretched out my ears, and waited for a few moments, and the voices never came again.

It's like a well-trained army, chirping when resting, and when the military whistle sounds, there is no sound.

If there is a small insect in the chandelier, it is disturbed, and after a temporary stop, it will become agitated, but it is not.

This shows that it is not a chandelier problem.

My grandmother is a Gu breeder, so I am very sensitive to the sound of this kind of insect crawling, and this situation makes my scalp tingle instantly-is there a Gu worm in this villa?

No way?

Probably not.

But I couldn't convince myself, I couldn't sleep without figuring it out.

I got out of bed, didn't even put on my shoes to avoid making a noise, and opened the door softly and went out.

At that time, it was about three or four o'clock in the morning, everyone was asleep, quietly, the whole villa seemed empty, I stood in the corridor on the second floor, looking at the closed doors, and my heart was a little hairy.

Slowly walk down the escalator to the third floor, careful with every step, for fear of disturbing anyone by making a movement.

Although the third floor is also very large, the layout is much simpler, with only three doors.

Mo Bai said before that there is a gym and a movie room on the third floor, so what's inside the other door?

I walked forward gently, opened the first door, the room was very large, and the main thing I saw was a huge screen and a dozen soft collapses, this should be a movie room; Close the door, continue walking, unscrew the second room door lock, and sure enough, the room is full of various fitness equipment, this room should be the one facing our room.

The third room was at the end of the hallway, the door was facing me, I reached out and twisted it, the lock was not opened, I frowned, could it be a storage room or something?

I didn't linger long, and turned back to the second room, which was the direction of the voice.

I measured it step by step with my feet, and finally settled on the spot directly opposite the chandelier in our room, which should be the westernmost part of the gym.

And the westernmost part, there is the indoor toilet, which is divided into three rooms, a drinking room, a toilet and a shower room, which is the connection between the second room and the third room.

Fitness sweating, need to replenish water, and then take a shower, these are all normal facilities, and what rich people want is convenience and enjoyment.

There is no door to the drinking room, there is no view at a glance, the bathroom is not divided into men and women, there is only one toilet, open the door of the shower room, it is dark, I unscrew the light.

As soon as you enter, there is a sink, and on the right side of the sink is a leather windshield, and it takes a little effort to push it by hand.

The eye was a small bathroom, the light was a dull yellow, worse than the light outside, there were three showers hanging on the wall on the left, and a circular bath with steps in the inner corner of the wall on the right, and I was stunned when I touched the big wooden barrel next to the bath.

The word 'shocked' could no longer sum up my mood at the time, the barrel was large and high, and a man was lying in it, with his back to me, and I could only see it at shoulder level.

He lay motionless, and the place below my neck that could be reached by my eyes rose and fell one after another, as if blood was stirring.

At that time, I literally forgot to breathe, and there was only one thought in my head - I had seen this scene.

Yes, I've seen it.

In the video that Cao Jiugu gave me, in my dreams, there were exactly the same scenes, tall wooden barrels, tortured men, agitated backs......

"Brother......

I whispered, the man seemed to hear my call, my back stiffened, I raised my feet to go inside, I wanted to hold the man's face, take a good look at whether he was my brother or not!

I don't know if it's because the wind is too heavy, or because my feet are numb, as soon as I lift my feet, my whole body falls uncontrollably, and my knees fall to the ground fiercely.

Boom.

The pain was so severe that I subconsciously reached out to cover my knee and relieved myself for a while.

At this moment, footsteps sounded, and then a white voice came from behind: "Xiaocha, why are you here, why are you kneeling on the ground?" ”

In the open space, there was a sudden sound of talking, which made my back tense all of a sudden, and then I slowly turned around, and saw Mo Bai standing in the gym, wearing a white pajamas, slippers on his feet, and his hair was still a little messy, looking like he had just gotten up from the bed.

Seeing that I didn't speak, he hurriedly walked over, reached out and lifted the windshield on my head, hung it on the hook on the door, and then squatted down to hug me: "Is the ground too slippery?" I'll ask Uncle Fu to put a bigger mat here tomorrow morning. ”

I usually see him wearing thin clothes, but I didn't expect that the muscles all over my body were very strong, so he easily picked me up, turned around and walked out.

I hurriedly looked back in the direction of the barrel, it was empty, and there were no men?

The shower room is fully enclosed, there is only one ventilation hole in the side wall, the size of a fist, if there is someone in the barrel just now, if you want to get out, you must pass through the doorway where I am, but from the beginning to the end, no one comes out.

There is also nowhere else to hide in the shower.

Could it be that I was hallucinating just now?

Am I really crazy that just seeing a tall wooden barrel automatically generates that image in my head?

I shook my head vigorously, wondering what was wrong with me.

At that time, Mo Bai had already carried me to the movie room next door, put me on the couch, squatted down by himself, and checked the condition of my knees.

I was wearing the same clothes I wore when I went out before, a white T-shirt, black wide-legged pants, seven points, because I didn't bring a change of clothes, although Mother Lin took a bathrobe, I didn't change it.

After all, it is in someone's house, and there are so many male classmates here, so it is inconvenient to wear a bathrobe.

"It's such a big piece of purple, it must be painful, right?" Mo Bai said, his cold fingertips tapped my knees, and I shrank back as if I had been electrocuted.

Mo Bai had already stood up: "I'll go next door to get you a medicine kit, and I'll get some iodine to prevent inflammation." ”

His movements were so fast that I didn't have time to react at all, and when he came back with the medicine kit, I was still in a trance.

He dipped a cotton swab in iodine and rubbed it on my knees, very seriously, I could hear his even breathing, his whole body was uncontrollably agitated, his cheeks were very hot, his eyes seemed to be dizzy, and his heart was beating as if it was about to pop out.

I jerked my leg back and nervously pulled my pant leg under my knee, but it was so long that it couldn't cover my whole leg.

Mo Bai looked at me puzzled with a cotton swab: "What's wrong?" ”

What's wrong?

The slightly hoarse voice kept tickling at my nerves, and I felt like I was about to explode.

Shaking his head in a panic: "No, it's nothing, I had a dream, I couldn't sleep after waking up, I wanted to come to the gym to exercise, and as a result, the result was ......"

Mo Bai didn't ask me anything, but I wanted to explain it clearly, and he suddenly laughed: "Xiaocha, when you are alone with me, you always seem to be very nervous, and I am not a wolf, jackal, tiger and leopard, are you afraid that I will eat you?" ”

My head shook like a rattle, and my eyes didn't dare to fall on his face: "No, I'm not nervous, no." ”

"Okay, you're not nervous, I said it wrong." He threw the cotton swab into the trash can next to him, reached out and wanted to hug me, "It's only four o'clock, do you want to go back to bed and lie down, or go to the living room for a snack?" ”

"I'll go back and lie down." As I spoke, I flipped off from the other side, my knees ached, and I almost fell, I gritted my teeth to hold on, and then bypassed the couch, let go of the ink white, and ran downstairs in a gray manner.

When I went back to the second bedroom and lay back in the bed, my heart was still beating wildly, as if I had just been discovered by the master who had just stolen something from the master.

Yes, but didn't you get caught?

Next to Ji Beibei slept so deeply, I wasn't woken up at all, I glanced at the time: 4:04.

At seven o'clock, I was going to leave for Jiaolongpo, and now I had a good night's sleep, otherwise I would definitely not have the energy during the day, but I couldn't sleep.

Suddenly, I began to miss Liu Chuannan a little, and I wanted him to come back early and tell me my brother's whereabouts, so that I could die and get out of Mobai's circle.

After flipping through my phone for a while, I sent a text message to Wang Tiezhu, telling him that I was going to take my classmates back to the village to see the camellia today, and asked him to help me clean up the yard and prepare some tea, food or something.

I put the spare key on the door of the yard, I can touch it, the last time I left, I didn't want to go back from the bottom of my heart, but I didn't expect to have to face that sad place so soon.

……

At half past six, everyone got up one after another, and after washing, they all gathered around the table, and Lin Ma had already made a big table of breakfast, with bread and milk, as well as steamed buns and porridge and side dishes.

Ji Beibei didn't seem to have much appetite, only drank a small bowl of porridge, I peeled a boiled egg and handed it to her: "There is still some time to Jiaolongpo, don't have an empty stomach, otherwise the mountain road to the ground will be bumpy, and your stomach will be empty, and you will vomit sour water." ”

She barely ate the boiled egg, but the whole person was still stunned, I know that her emotions are similar to falling out of love.

There are many kinds of broken love, those who fall in love and break up peacefully, those who break up after tossing, and those who disappear without knowing it......

And Ji Beibei is the most distressing, she started silently, and she cut off her thoughts fiercely, from falling in love to deciding to give up, it is her own business, which has nothing to do with the other party, but the source of all pain starts with the other party.

I don't know how to comfort her, I just hope that when I get to Jiaolongpo, a day of crazy play can make her forget her troubles for a while.

Mother Lin prepared a lot of food for us, everyone got into the RV, and Mo Bai drove it in person and officially embarked on the journey.

Different from when I came back last night, this time the atmosphere in the carriage was very warm, everyone kept discussing the wealth of Mobai's family, evaluating how high the price of the same furnishings I saw in the villa last night, and then gradually, I talked about what I had seen and heard, and the lame hands of my life, anyway, the topic never stopped.

I didn't sleep well all night, but I was a little sleepy this time, Ji Beibei didn't speak, and leaned on me, so we snuggled up to each other like that.

Halfway through, my phone vibrate, took it out and saw that it was a message sent by Wang Tiezhu, and I could see that the tone was very excited, he said that everything would be ready, and I was welcome to go back.

The RV drove fast and steadily, and I could see that Mobai's driving skills were not practiced in a day or two, especially on the mountain road into the village, I usually wanted to vomit, but this time I didn't feel too much.

In the distance, I saw someone waiting at the entrance of the village, led by Wang Tiezhu and the patriarch, the two were chatting about something, and when they saw the RV coming, they threw the cigarette butts at their feet and extinguished them.

The RV drove into the village, attracting the eager attention of the villagers, and many people gathered around to see it and discuss it non-stop.

Actually, I don't like this kind of scene very much, because every time I am watched, nothing good happens, so I said to Mo Bai: "Senior, you drive the car forward, and I will go down and show you the way." ”

Mo Bai didn't do it, stopped the car, picked up the Zhonghua prepared next to him and got out of the car, first scattered smoke for the patriarch and Wang Tiezhu, and then he dispersed every villager around.

When I got out of the car and walked over, he was already talking to the patriarch, and I don't know what he said, but the patriarch nodded vigorously and smiled from ear to ear.

I heard many people talking about Mobai looking like my brother Bai Jiayan, and some people even said that if they hadn't seen Jiayan buried three years ago, they really thought that Jiayan had returned.

Some people also questioned that Jiaolongpo did not dig up Jiayan's bones, and someone on the side immediately said that Jiayan's body was buried with my mother's corpse, and it must have been eaten by Gu worms and there was no residue left.

When Miao Renjun led the villagers to burn my mother's body, he must have told them that it was not a plague in the village, but something caused by the spread of Gu poison, so they were still haunted by this.

Wang Tiezhu kept staring at Mo Bai, probably observing.

I walked over and asked the patriarch directly: "Patriarch, what do they mean when they say that Jiaolongpo has been dug up?" ”

"Oh, this, you haven't come back for more than half a month, the matter of the tea god Niangniang statue in Jiaolongpo has been started, Jiaolongpo has been dug in half, it rained heavily a few days ago, and the work was stopped for a few days, and it just started construction again this morning, this time the digging was quite smooth, and I explained it to the above." The patriarch said with a smile while smoking a Chinese cigarette.

I have no reason in my heart, although I now know that my brother is not dead, and my mother's body is no longer in Jiaolongpo, but I just feel that it should not be dug up.

But this is a matter that was decided early in the morning, and I shouldn't have asked, the original block was to move the grave, but now that there is no such thing, digging or not digging, it doesn't matter much to me.

I nodded: "Then I'll take my classmates home to rest first, and then go to the camellia forest to play." ”

"Let's go, let's go, and introduce more to my classmates." The patriarch glanced at the RV on the side with a smile, turned his head to Wang Tiezhu and said, "Tiezhu, take more camellia cakes, tea bubbles and special tea leaves to Xiaocha, the students are here, we have to be warmly entertained, let them go back and publicize our Camellia Festival next year." ”

Wang Tiezhu nodded and agreed, I only understood it later, the patriarch didn't care if Mo Bai looked like my brother, in his eyes, Mo Bai must have become a cash cow, take those specialties to the classmates to taste, just want them to buy some of their favorite back.

If you are fancied by a rich boy like Mo Bai, and go back to ask the family to invest, will Jiaolongpo's economy be lively?

Ginger is still old and spicy.

"Get in the car, it's hot outside." Mo Bai said with a smile at me.

I had to tell him the direction of my house, get in the car, and go back together.

The courtyard door is open, the house is cleaned, and the camellia tree in my yard is the highest and largest in the whole village, and there is a deep well below.

The autumn tiger is very powerful, the sun is fierce, and when we arrive it is only ten o'clock, and the sun will sting people so that they can't open their eyes.

As soon as the students entered the courtyard, they almost unanimously surrounded the camellia tree, the camellia in this season is not very beautiful, the color is white, the petals are wilted, and there are many withered, and there is not much left, far less than in early spring.

The boys have already poured water from the well, and splashed the water on their faces, shoulders, and legs with their hands, and the well water is cool and cool, and I don't know if it is next to the camellia tree, and the well water carries a natural faint camellia fragrance, which is refreshing.

"Ah, I've only seen this kind of well in pictures and videos, it's so old." Jin Qiaoqiao said as if he had discovered a new continent, playing with the well water.

"Yes, soaking in the well water in this kind of weather is simply enjoyable, if there is watermelon and beer to hang into the town, it is more refreshing to eat and drink."

"Although I haven't been to the Camellia Forest yet, I already feel that this trip is worth it, haha."

"I had an upset stomach last night, and I thought about why I wouldn't come with me today, but fortunately I didn't retreat, otherwise my intestines would have been repentant."

……

I saw that everyone was so happy, so I said: "I came back suddenly, there was no preparation, there was no beer, but there are still a few jars of camellia brew buried under this tea tree, and I will dig them out for you to relieve the heat later." ”

"That's great, I'll dig it for you." Mo Bai's roommate Jin Hu took the initiative to ask Yingdao.

I immediately waved my hand and thanked him for his kindness: "The camellia brew is packed in a pottery jar, it is very fragile, and it was dug up without paying attention, and I am not sure how deep to bury it, so I should dig it myself." ”

At this time, Wang Tiezhu happened to come in from the gate of the courtyard, carrying a lot of things, and beckoning: "The air conditioner is on in the room, I brought watermelon over, everyone come over to eat." ”

As soon as I heard that there was a watermelon, I walked away, Ji Beibei stayed with me, I used a small shovel to slowly dig the soil under the camellia tree, she squatted to the side and watched, I turned my head sideways and asked her, "Why don't you go in and eat watermelon?" ”

"No, I don't want to stay with him, I need to calm down." Ji Beibei muttered.

I wanted to cheer her up, but when I thought of the scene where I stayed with Mo Bai, I was a little worried, so I changed the topic: "The soil below has to be dug slowly by hand, senior sister, you just help me together." ”

The two of them kept scraping the mud with their hands, the more they went down the soil, the cooler it became, both of them had a layer of sweat on their heads, but their hands were cold, their hands were sour, and they finally saw the lid of the pottery altar, and I smiled: "It's not easy to drink camellia brew." ”

"Yes, just for all the sweat I shed, I have to drink a whole jar today to treat myself." Ji Beibei exaggerated.

"Forget it, there are three altars in total, I'm going to keep one altar for next year's Camellia Festival, you drink one altar, and the rest of the altar doesn't drink it?" I teased.

Ji Beibei immediately laughed: "Stingy ghost, won't you brew this camellia all over the mountains?" ”

"It's not the same anymore." I was a little lost, this is the last three jars of camellia brewed by my grandmother, I want to leave a jar, more in fact, it is also to leave a commemoration, the camellia festival to use, I will also brew it myself in advance.

Ji Beibei immediately reached out and touched my cheek: "Don't be sad, grandma is gone, don't you have more of my best friend?" In the future, I will be your own sister, shall we depend on each other? ”

I looked at her with a frown, she looked at me, it was a very sensational scene, but she laughed out loud, and I shouted angrily: "Senior sister, you did it on purpose, wipe the mud on my face, are you jealous of my beauty!" ”

"Pull it down, you're just a delicate little jasper at best." Ji Beibei immediately scolded me.

Laughing and laughing, my mood also changed a lot, I fetched water from the well, and the two of them washed their hands and faces while washing the outside of the pottery jar, and then carried the camellia into the room.

The air conditioner is in my room, my grandmother doesn't have it, I asked her to pretend to be one, after all, it's hot in summer, she always says that she is old and can't stand the cold of the air conditioner, so every time the weather is hot, I pull her to my room to sleep with a dead face.

……

The watermelon has been eaten cleanly, and the camellia brewed past, and it was immediately divided by everyone, Wang Tiezhu kept boasting on the side, saying that my grandmother is the person who is the best at brewing camellia in the whole village, and those who have drunk it will never forget the sweet taste.

When the atmosphere was just right, the door was pushed open, and the patriarch's grandson Fat Wa stood at the door panting and shouted: "Uncle Wang, quick, my grandfather asked you to go to Jiaolongpo, there was an accident over there." ”

Everyone was stunned, Wang Tiezhu immediately walked over and asked, "Fat baby, what's going on?" The construction crew was injured? ”

The last time I dug Jiaolongpo, the first thing that happened was the master who drove the excavator, although the crisis was lifted later, but there was still a shadow in the psychology.

The fat baby shook her head again and again: "No one has an accident, that is, a very long and large snake skin was dug out from under the Jiaolong Slope, thicker than my waist, the length must be there, there must be ......."

The fat baby couldn't find a suitable reference to describe it for a while.
