Chapter 8 The Phoenix Crown
Tang Yuan's home has a total of two bedrooms, a small living room, and a shed made of wooden planks that serves as a kitchen.
Seeing the heavy snow outside, there are two issues that the two of us need to consider if we want to live until tomorrow.
One is the problem of food and water, and the other is the problem of heating.
As it continued to snow outside, the temperature inside the cave was not greatly affected because of the thick mountain walls, but there were no bedding or anything else in this room, and the temperature would always drop during the long night.
So these two pressing issues must be addressed.
I said to Chen Wen, "Don't be stunned, come and help." ”
I picked up the coffin board in the small courtyard, then looked for an axe and split the board into small pieces.
After Chen Wen walked over, when she saw my actions, her eyes widened: "You dare to destroy cultural relics in front of me, you are really lawless, I will call the police." ”
As she spoke, she took out her phone and began to call the police.
I ignored her and went on with my work.
After a while, Chen Wen's face became a little anxious, and the phone didn't seem to get through, so she continued to dial.
I saw her like this, and couldn't help laughing: "I'll tell you the truth, you may not believe it, I came here a few days ago, there is a woman named Tang Yuan in this family, who looks exactly like you, I was sick and bedridden, and when she braved the heavy snow to go down the mountain for help, she froze to death on the road." ”
I knew what I said, Chen Wen in front of me wouldn't believe it, but I still said it 1510.
Chen Wen said anxiously: "What's the matter, there is no signal at all." ”
She still didn't seem to want to let me go, and threatened me; "I warn you, don't continue to destroy the artifacts, I'll go outside and call the police."
The outside of the fence gate has been sealed by heavy snow, and the sky above the small courtyard is also a cave, if it were not for this, this small courtyard would have been sealed long ago.
Finally, Chen Wen changed a few places, and after trying a few times, she gave up her plan to call the police.
"I know that these timbers are cultural relics, but two lives, aren't they worth more than these cultural relics?" I said.
Until this time, Chen Wen did not stop me.
Wait until my work is done.
Chen Wen asked me again: "Now this place is blocked by heavy snow, if you make a fire, the smoke can't go out, and we will also die here." ”
I pointed to the fire beside me and said; "See, there is an upward chimney, I saw it when I was shopping today, the chimney rises very high, at least seven or eight meters, that is to say, it seems that there has been a similar heavy snow here before, so the chimney is generally higher."
After placing the firewood in the fire, I took out a lighter and lit the firewood, and the small flame slowly expanded, and a warmth emanated from the old wood.
Chen Wen put her hands on her shoulders and made a very disgusting look at me at first, but the declining temperature still made her give up the estrangement between each other and come closer.
The two of us were separated at opposite ends of the fire, and through the rising flames, I could see Chen Wen's appearance.
I smiled and teased Chen Wen: "Did you listen to what I said just now, you are really exactly the same as her." ”
Chen Wen glanced at me: "Your way of accosting me is too backward, and my ears are about to become calloused." ”
I pouted, it seemed that someone had said that to her before.
As the flames gradually rose, the visibility in the cave also improved a lot.
I saw a large iron pot next to the stove, but it was rusty and obviously unusable.
Just when I was a little depressed, I saw that there was a casserole used to boil Chinese medicine not far away, and this casserole was extremely well preserved.
I went over and checked it out, and it worked.
It's just that Tang Yuan doesn't have a well at home, so he can't find a water source.
But it doesn't bother me, isn't the heavy snow outside the best source of water?
I took the casserole outside and got a pot full of snow, smashed it, and put it on top of the stove.
After a while, the snow melted in the casserole, but there was not much water, so I went out and pinched a few large snowballs and put them in, which melted into the water of the casserole.
"There's nothing to eat tonight, so I can drink some water." I greeted Chen Wen.
Chen Wen ignored me, picked up the ham and ate it by herself.
"Looks like you're prepared." I said, it's okay if she doesn't eat, and when I eat like this, my stomach is also hungry; "Why don't you give me some? If I'm starving here, you're going to be here with a corpse. ”
When I said this, Tang Yuan said: "Don't worry, you won't die of hunger all night." ”
"Didn't you see the snow outside? Looking at this heavy snowfall, it is estimated that it will not be able to go out for ten days and half a month. I said to her.
Chen Wen disagreed: "Do you know why all tourists are driven down when it gets dark? ”
I wondered, "Because there's no place to live here." ”
"No, because this ancient city is haunted." Chen Wen said very plainly.
Haunted?
It turned out that Chen Wen knew about it.
When I heard this, I couldn't help but stand up; "You know it's haunted? Then you'll come back......"
Chen Wen can obviously leave here, but she still came up in the dark, isn't it me......
At this moment, my mentality when I looked at Chen Wen changed a lot.
Chen Wen in front of her seems to have more similarities with Tang Yuan before.
Chen Wen ignored me, and just said quietly; "When the ancient city of Nanxiang was first developed, in order to increase income, I also considered building houses on the mountain, but when the expedition team inspected here, they found that it would snow here at night, and the snow would magically disappear at dawn, so the plan finally went bankrupt."
It turns out that they have known about the snow here at night......
From Chen Wen's words, it seems that as long as we survive tonight, we will be safe.
Thinking about this, I can't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Come, drink water."
As I spoke, I put my clothes on the casserole and brought it down.
After placing it on the stone floor next to it, I lifted the lid of the casserole.
But at this moment, Chen Wen and I let out an exclamation at the same time.
Because for some reason, a pot of snow water turned into a pot of blood.
At the same time as the lid of the casserole was lifted, a thick smell of blood emanated from the casserole.
Under such a strong visual impact and the strong smell of blood, we both vomited in an instant.
Originally, there wasn't much in my stomach, and the taste of vomiting was uncomfortable.
And Chen Wen was even more embarrassed, the ham she had just eaten was spit out.
"How can this be, the snow has turned into blood!" I was surprised.
Chen Wen stopped vomiting and said to me; "How do I know, I still want to ask you!"
Stimulated by the strong smell of blood, I covered my nose, picked up the casserole, and walked towards the fence gate, splashing all the blood on the snow.
As the blood seeped into the snow, the smell diminished a little.
But the next scene was even more beyond my imagination.
Because at this time, I saw that after the blood and water outside met the snow, the goose feather snow melted one after another, and the melting trend became faster and faster, and after a while, the snow several meters deep all melted, turned into blood water, and flowed in all directions.
I was so frightened that the casserole in my hand fell weakly to the ground, snapped, and fell into pieces.
At the same time as the casserole was broken, an angry voice suddenly scolded: "Loser, what else can you do, this casserole is worth more than you." ”
It was a man who spoke, but in this cave, aren't there only two people, me and Chen Wen?
How could a man suddenly appear?
When I turned my head, I saw that behind me was Tang Yuan's father.
"Uncle...... Why are you here......" I said at a loss.
"Stinky boy, it's you! I've finally caught you, you've killed my daughter, and I'm going to bury you with her. "Tang Yuan's father pulled me and dragged me in vigorously.
Tang Yuan's father's strength was so strong that I couldn't break free at all, so I was thrown into Tang Yuan's room like a dead dog.
The house, which was empty not long ago, has been furnished into a wedding room at this time.
On the big red bed sheet and futon, sat a bride wearing a phoenix crown.
When I came to him and lifted the red hijab, I saw Tang Yuan.
"Are you Tang Yuan or Chen Wen?" At this time, I had not lost my mind, and thinking about today's events, I asked.
Tang Yuan looked at me fixedly; "Who is Chen Wen? Mr. Wu, have you only been working hard for a few days, and you have a new woman? Don't make a lot of noise, your father will beat you if he knows it. ”
Tang Yuan came up and covered my mouth, as if he was afraid that I would continue.
When I looked sideways out the door, I saw a black figure outside, eavesdropping with his ears tilted through the hazy window paper.
"What did my son-in-law say just now, what Chen Wen? Isn't this kid a chick? And women out there? Damn, I'm going to kill him. Tang Yuan's father scolded angrily.
Tang Yuan hurriedly said: "No, no, he said what kind of perfume I sprayed, why does it smell so good, don't come in, we're going to have a cave room......"
As he spoke, Tang Yuan deliberately let out a few low moans......
After listening to this voice, my bones were numb.
"What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and take off your clothes and get into the bed." Tang Yuan whispered in my ear, and the bursts of hot air from her mouth slapped on my ears, causing a fire to ignite in my heart.
Tang Yuan's skillful hands had already stripped off my clothes when she spoke, and after a while, I was already standing in front of Tang Yuan openly, and at the same time, she also peeled off the phoenix crown and Xia Xuan, and pulled me into the warm quilt under the light of the red candle.
