Chapter 63: A Woman's Face That Can't Be Shaken Off
Qin Meijia went home with Wu Gang, and after the two arrived home, they didn't find that Qin Meijia's daughter and mother were not at home. Even Wu Gang didn't notice it, but sat on the sofa as soon as he entered the room.
"Wu Gang, what's wrong, why are you so worried all day?"
"No, it's okay, Sister Meijia, tomorrow I will have a competition with Tongchuang. You go to bed early. ”
"Huh?" Qin Meijia didn't expect Wu Gang to suddenly say this, "Wu Gang, today is Halloween, Fuduo Town is very lively, why are you sleeping so early?" ”
"Halloween?"
Wu Gang is a local, so he naturally knows what Halloween means to Fuduo Town, and when Wu Gang was a child, he often pestered his parents to participate in Halloween, but every time he was having fun, he was taken back by his parents, because Halloween was his birthday.
"yes, it's Halloween."
Wu Gang told Qin Meijia that his birthday was still a few days away, and that was because he didn't want to be looked at by others with strange eyes.
"Shall we go out for a walk?"
"Okay, okay......"
Wu Gang saw that Qin Mei Jiaxing was so high, and it was not easy to sweep Yaxing. But he kept reminding himself in his heart that he had to go home after ten o'clock! This was a warning that his parents had given him since childhood.
It is precisely because of his special birthday that almost no one knows about his birthday. In today's society, going home at ten o'clock is really difficult for normal young people to celebrate their birthdays.
"By the way, what about Auntie?"
"They're out."
Believing Qin Meijia's words, Wu Gang followed Qin Meijia out of the door. Because it was Halloween, Wu Gang felt that the terrifying atmosphere in the corridor was particularly strong, and even a little cold.
Out of the community, the two did not choose to drive, but walked directly.
"Let's go to Central Park."
Wu Gang hadn't participated in the Halloween Festival in Fuduo Town for a long time, and he had even forgotten where to go for this strange festival.
"Okay, okay."
Hearing the words Central Park, Wu Gang's heart tightened. Wang Laohu died in Central Park, and Liu Xueqin's body was also dumped in the sewer near Central Park by Zhou Faqiang.
It was not far from the community to Central Park, but the two still walked for more than ten minutes. There is not the slightest sense of desolation along the way, but it is very lively.
Some people kowtow inexplicably on the side of the road, facing the unburned money in the brazier.
Some people were dressed in darkness in the night, holding paper clothes and candles in their hands.
Some friends half-bent down to the river, lit a few river lanterns, and let it go with the wind.
"It's here."
Qin Meijia saw the crowded Central Park, and immediately felt a little happy, dancing like a child.
"Sister Meijia, shall we go find Fangfang?"
"Yes!"
Wu Gang knew that he couldn't stay for a long time, so it was safer to find He Fangfang and the others in advance.
Central Park is a few points smaller than the square, but because Central Park is more remote and quiet, in recent years, everyone has spent Halloween in Central Park.
In the middle of Central Park is a pillar that is entwined by a golden dragon with sharp claws pointing outward. In the center opposite the dragon pillar is a small tower - the Dementor Tower, because in summer from the Dementor Tower, there are countless lotus flowers around, extremely beautiful, let people see the soul is not guarded, so it is called the Dementor Tower.
The Dementor Tower is surrounded by the lake that surrounds it, Xinglong Lake, which is so extensive that it can even connect to the entire town center of Fuduo Town, to the point that it smells like a moat.
"Let's go, go this way." Entering Central Park, Wu Gang called out to Qin Meijia, and the two began to walk towards the wooden corridor on the right.
The corridor was not long, and the two of them passed quickly, but Wu Gang always felt that something was wrong, and the two stepped on the plank, and the sound they heard was very small, as if they were stepping on cotton.
"Auntie, did they bring their phones?"
"I don't know, I'll call and ask."
As the two walked, their surroundings changed instantly.
"Wu Gang."
Qin Meijia was taken aback by the rapidly changing environment around her.
"Sister Mijia."
Wu Gang turned to look at the frightened Qin Meijia and grabbed Qin Meijia with one hand.
It's very slippery, very tender and very icy.
"I'll pull you."
"Hmm!"
Toot toot toot.
"Didn't get through?"
"No one answered."
"Then let's go find them!"
For some reason, Wu Gang always felt that it was very cold around him, and it was an abnormal kind of cold. But there was nothing strange about him around, just that there were fewer people.
After walking a few hundred meters, there were fewer and fewer people around.
"Wu Gang, I want to go to the toilet."
"Huh? Go ahead. ”
Not far away is the public restroom, Qin Meijia entered the toilet, and Wu Gang was guarding outside.
Wu Gang squatted on the wooden board at the door of the toilet and looked at the lotus flowers in Xinglong Lake. The fragrance of lotus flowers fills the entire Central Park with a gentle breeze.
"Drink."
Wu Gang looked down and found that there was a human face under the wooden board, and the human face was imprinted in the water, as if a human face was floating on the water.
He was sure it wasn't his own shadow, and it wasn't anyone's shadow, it was a human face, a real human face.
Wu Gang was so frightened that he fell crooked on the plank, and he timidly forced himself to take another look: "Where did you go?" ”
Thinking of the woman's face just now, Wu Gang was afraid for a while.
"Wu Gang?"
"Here." Wu Gang turned around and stood up, "Sister Meijia, let's go." ”
"Drink."
Wu Gang stared at Qin Meijia and saw a human face in the mirror on the wall behind Qin Meijia, it was a woman's face, a sad woman's face.
"What's wrong?"
Wu Gang didn't dare to tell Qin Meijia that there was a face behind her, because that sad face suddenly smiled weirdly, and even her dark mouth moved, as if to say "don't tell her".
"No, nothing." Qin Meijia stared at the strange Wu Gang, and then turned around looking for Wu Gang's gaze, "What did you just look at?" ”
As soon as Qin Meijia turned her head, the face in the mirror disappeared.
"No, nothing." Wu Gang hurriedly explained, "Let's go." ”
Auntie's cell phone couldn't get through, so the two had to find them as soon as possible, otherwise there would definitely be no way to get home before ten o'clock.
"Mom."
"Auntie."
"Fangfang."
"Fangfang."
The two shouted as they walked briskly.
After walking a few hundred meters, the surrounding environment immediately changed, and the people around me also became more numerous. It's a little angry.
The most lively place is the square next to Xinglong Lake, which has almost reached the level of a sea of people.
The loud "most dazzling national style" has been playing, and the rhythm of the music is accompanied by the writhing bodies of the uncles and aunts. The lineup of a square dance team was presented in front of Wu Gang.
In such a noisy environment, shouting will not promise anyone, let alone a little girl and an old man. Wu Gang could only rely on his unique vision to search around.
But whenever he saw the water stains and the mirror, he could see a woman's sad face. It's like that woman's face is like Wu Gang.
