Chapter 3: Ghost Town Adventure
This Zhonghua Pool has no other hobbies, only the music of silk strings. As soon as he heard the sound of the piano coming from the other side of the river, he immediately stopped struggling, squinted his eyes and pricked up his ears, shook his head and said, "Good piano, good piano!" The moonlight is full of white, and the sound of the piano is suitable for the night. On the green silk, listen to the pine wind and cold. Although the ancient tune is self-love, many people today do not play. Cast this song to you, it is difficult for you to know your friends! ”
Yan Heyi deliberately pulled his sleeve and said seriously, "I've also thought about it, the other side is indeed very dangerous, and it is not suitable to enter, so let's go back!" He turned around and left, Zhong Huachi grabbed him, and said eagerly, "Don't, let's just go and see, if there is danger, I will protect you even if I die!" ”
"Truth?"
"Truth!"
"That's good," Yan Heyi said, "life and death are up to fate, wealth is in the sky!" After crossing the river for a while, no matter what happens, you and my brothers must be united and face it together! The two of them high-fived each other and turned to look across the river.
As far as the eye can see, it is not a barren place, pavilions, small bridges and flowing water, even in the daytime, it is a rich scene. Some say that it was the residence of a prime minister after his resignation. He spent all his life savings here, and the houses and shops were all available, not so much like a mansion, but more like a town store.
After the death of the owner, the house here was not cleaned and repaired, and gradually decayed. The weeds are decaying and no longer have the grandeur of the new construction of the day. But I don't know when, this place was completely new overnight, and it was lively again, and this excitement was after the hour, before sunrise.
Some good deeds sneaked in to see the truth, but the next day they were found on the streets, and since then, all kinds of legends have followed, and the frightened and timid dare not go. Tonight, Yan Heyi and Zhonghuachi are about to find out.
There was a wooden bridge on the river that creaked when stepping on it, and the footsteps of the two fell on it, but they did not make the slightest sound. Yan Heyi held his breath and stared, not only looking at the situation opposite, but also always alert to the changes under his feet.
The snow flakes slid down the tip of his nose, and were baked by the heat, turning into snow and falling. They soon crossed the wooden bridge and stood on the forbidden land of the living. The sound of the silk and bamboo orchestra made Zhong Huachi's face intoxicated, and he was almost fluttering. Yan Heyi had to remind him, "Be vigilant, maybe there are pink skeletons waiting for us ahead!" ”
Zhong Huachi said nonchalantly, "If it were a pink skeleton who was proficient in music, I would rather stay and sleep here with her." Yan Heyi looked at it, there were two ways forward, he turned into the one closest to him, and after walking less than a hundred meters, he was stunned by the scene in front of him!
At this moment, everything is silent, people have fallen asleep, but there is a lively scene of people coming and going. Under the neat rows of blue lanterns, buying or selling, carts are carried on the burden, men, women and children, almost like the New Year.
"Look, rock sugar gourd, I have to have a bunch!" Zhong Huachi had forgotten where he was, and was infected by this lively atmosphere, so he ran over and stood in front of the vendor selling sugar gourds, and found a piece of broken silver, and wanted to buy sugar gourds.
Yan Heyi noticed that the people here used to buy goods were all white, round, with holes in the middle, and burned to the dead. He quickly grabbed Zhong Huachi, glanced at him, and the two walked into the corner together.
"Why are you going to buy a sugar gourd and you have to agree to it?" Zhong Huachi's mouth was pouting, and his face was reluctant. Yan Heyi pointed to a little girl with two pigtails and was using a piece of paper money to buy sugar gourds and said, "Take a good look for yourself, what she is holding in her hand!" ”
"Oh my mother!" Zhong Huachi exclaimed in a low voice, "This, this, this is for the dead, could it be that the sugar gourd is also for the dead?" Yan Heyi said noncommittally, "I'm afraid it's like the steamed buns of the white bone spirit, which are transformed from stones and toads, do you still eat them?" ”
Zhong Huachi shook his head and said, "If you don't eat, you won't eat, and I won't eat if you kill me!" He glanced to the left and right and said, "Where is the little bridge that the note says, shall we find someone to ask?" ”
Before the words fell, the "people" around them suddenly turned their heads together and stared at the two people, although there was no expression on their faces, they couldn't help but shudder. Zhong Huachi slapped himself in the face, "Look at my crow's mouth!" Heyi, what should I do now, they don't want to eat us, right? ”
"Don't worry, I'm here, eat you first!" Although Yan Heyi said this, he pulled Zhong Huachi with his hand and let him hide behind him. Fortunately, those people just looked at it twice, and then they all turned their heads away and ignored it.
Zhong Huachi's little heart, which jumped to his throat, could finally return to its original position, and he said with palpitations, "The recent years have not been good, it seems that I have to be careful even when I speak." Yan Heyi carefully distinguished the movements around her, in addition to the sound of footsteps and the collision of utensils, there was also the sound of people talking and talking. But the strange thing is that he can't understand this language, "Huachi, listen, what are they talking about?" ”
The nearest to them was a stall selling dried fruits, and the two girls were tasting and talking to the vendor, as if they were paying the price. But Zhong Huachi listened to it for a long time, but he didn't understand a word, but understood something from their movements and expressions.
"What's the matter, have we come to a foreign country, and we can't even understand what they say?" Zhong Huachi prides himself on being knowledgeable and knows all kinds of Manchu, Mongolian, Chinese, Tibetan and Miao languages, but what he hears now is another language that he has never been exposed to in his life.
The more he tried to figure it out, the more anxious he became, the more anxious he became, the closer he got there. Zhong Huachi accidentally touched the corner of one of the girls' clothes, this was originally an extremely subtle action, the girl should not be aware of it, but the other party suddenly shouted, this time Yan Heyi and Zhonghua Chi both understood!
"Help, someone, someone's breaking in!"
The girl's cry was heartbreaking, Zhong Huachi looked at Yan Heyi with a confused expression, not knowing that he was a person, and he had broken which law. Yan Heyi pulled him violently and said loudly, "What are you still doing in a daze, run!" ”
The group of "people" was rapidly gathering towards them, and the two of them suddenly felt that their heads were big for a while, and if they wanted to escape, they were afraid that it would take a lot of effort. Yan Heyi touched the ground on his toes, and jumped into the air with the help of the power that rebounded back, he looked at the person closest to him, stretched out his left foot, and stepped on the top of that person's head.
The imaginary feeling of hardness did not appear, Yan Heyi stepped into the air, and the whole person fell down. Zhong Huachi watched him pass through the bodies of four or five people and fall heavily to the ground!
