158 Hide and Seek(2)
Yin Yan and Ban Zhi will always stand together and walk together, and when others meet, they will feel that the relationship between the two is good, but if you observe carefully, you will find that they have no communication except for almost being next to each other throughout the whole process.
As someone who was once cared for and loved by Yin Xiang, I know Yin Xiang well, but he still looks gentle and gentle to my sister, but he doesn't ask my sister if she wants to drink water when he drinks water, and he doesn't consult my sister when he asks us if we want to rest, just like two people walking together...... Stranger.
But they're getting engaged, aren't they?
Qiu Shishi glared at me unhappily, and I hurriedly withdrew my gaze and stopped looking at the two people.
The sky was dark, and Yin Yan looked at the map in his hand again: "If we don't go the wrong way, it should be almost there, everyone work harder, and when it gets completely dark in a while, the road will be even more difficult to find." β
After walking for nearly an hour, when the sky was gray, we came to a cliff, and there was a wooden bridge between the cliff and the opposite cliff, which didn't look particularly strong, similar to the kind of shaky wooden bridge in the movie that could break at any time, maybe it was relatively better, and on the opposite cliff, we saw a house, and that was our goal this time.
"Can this bridge be crossed?" Zhang Ying walked to the head of the bridge and looked down, it looked like an abyss underneath, which was very scary.
Yin Yu said with a smile: "It's just deliberately imitating the one on TV, making it exaggerated and attracting people, in fact, this bridge is very strong." β
"That is, even the only entrance and exit is a dangerous bridge, and a few people dare to come, let's go, I'll go first." Xu Guanyang crossed Zhang Ying and planned to be the first one.
Mei Li seemed to be scared and wanted to retreat, but seeing that Xu Guanyang really planned to go alone, she probably felt that the opportunity could not be missed and not come again, she rushed behind Xu Guanyang in two or three steps and grabbed his clothes: "Guanyang~ People will accompany you." β
Xu Guanyang glanced at Mei Li with a smile, and then shrugged: "Okay, let's go." β
He took her and walked towards the wooden bridge, Mei Li was so frightened that she was almost half-dragged by Xu Guanyang to take a step, fortunately, Xu Guanyang was a flower, and all the women came to this step with him, although it was a hard support, he didn't mean to be impatient, and walked to the opposite side with her.
Along the way, although the wooden bridge is shaky and scary, there is really no place where it will break if you step on it.
As they passed, the rest of us walked in pairs.
When you reach the top of the cliff on the other side, you can clearly see that about a hundred meters away, the villa with the charm of nature on the outside, and then look back, because the sky is dark, the scene of these two cliffs at this time is especially like the place where wizards or vampires live in the movie, and the branches of several trees are dancing with teeth and claws.
Zhang Ying was very excited, saying that she had thought of this kind of place for a long time.
"Everyone is tired, let's go to the villa first, rest for a while, and then arrange the next things." Yin Yan has always been like a competent leader, as soon as he finished speaking, everyone straightened up the heavy bag behind them, and the joy of arriving at the destination made their sore legs have some more strength.
There is a small garden outside the villa, which is not as neatly maintained as the gardens in the city, but looks messy, and there are wild grasses and wild flowers growing next to the black fence shelves like arrows, which is quite a wild and uninhabited castle.
We entered through the adjacent hallway and into the living room, where there were already three people waiting.
One of them was a hundred and eighty, looking at a steady and elegant man, wearing a well-fitting suit, and the two women next to him were wearing maid clothes, led by the man and bent down towards us, introducing himself and saying that he would be the housekeeper of this house in five days, surnamed Shan, this surname is relatively rare, and the other two named Xiaoqiu Xiaodong claimed to be maids who were actually waiters during this time.
The good steward said: "We have prepared a place for you to live, all the toiletries are available, and tonight's dinner is also ready for you, but before that, let me remind you that there is a purifier in the kitchen, there are all kinds of ingredients, all kinds of pots and pans, but the food is only for the night, from tomorrow, you will have to prepare your own food, including drinking water, you have to find your own way." β
"Ah~" Mei Li pulled a long voice and leaned on Xu Guanyang, "There is this house around here, and it takes a day's walk to go to the lower pavilion, where to get food, and water, how to do it?" β
"This mountain is called Linxun Mountain, and there are very rich resources here, so it depends on whether you can find it. By the way, the last thing we need is tools, and if you need anything, just come to us. β
Mei Li was still unhappy, Yin Yu smiled and said to everyone: "Everything is ready, what is the point of us coming here, okay, go to their respective rooms to freshen up, and then come to eat our first and last free dinner." β
Then Xiaoqiu Xiaodong led us to our respective rooms, maybe they had understood our situation before this, Yin Yan and Ban Zhi in a room, Xu Yingjun and his wife Zhang Ying in a room, Mei Li also got a room with Xu Guanyang, my brother Panji and Yan Bin two single dogs in a room, at that time my brother was still hurting Yan Bin, if he wanted to snore at night, he went to sleep on the sofa outside, Yan Bin unceremoniously punched my brother: "I don't know who grinds his teeth at night." β
"You just grind your teeth, I have good health, good teeth, good stomach, and I grind my teeth."
The two of them went in noisily, and Qiu Shiren and I came to the last room, sent us to Xiaodong at the door of the room, and let us retreat if we had something to do.
The layout of the room is quite neat and beautiful, the design of Central Europe, but the curtains are dark purple and red, I don't like it very much, there are two pillows on the bed, and there is a doll sitting in the middle of the pillow, with long eyelashes, big eyes, wearing a beautiful princess tutu dress, I didn't pay attention at first, but when I put down the big backpack and sat on the side of the bed to change my shoes, the doll suddenly made a sound:
"Welcome, dear master."
It startled me, and even the poet poked his head out.
"This can still talk, who are you trying to scare by putting such a doll?" I grabbed the doll in my hand, looked at it carefully, and lifted my skirt.
"Ladies can't be upskirted, please respect me, master."
"Hey." I rummaged through the doll, trying to find the talking switch and turn it off, or I could unplug the battery, otherwise it would always come out all night, and we would not be scared to wake up.
But I rummaged for a long time, but I couldn't find the switch, and I couldn't find the place where the battery was placed, during which it said a few words, like "Did you eat the last dinner today?" "I'm so lonely, can the master accompany me more?"
In short, the sound is cute, but it just makes people feel panicked no matter how they listen to it.
Qiu Shiren took it and looked at it twice, and called Xiao Dong directly: "We don't need this thing, take it away." β
Xiao Dong hesitated, but still took the doll, making sure that we didn't need other services and left.
After washing up, I went downstairs to the dining room with Qiu Shishi, and the table was quite large, the kind of oval shape similar to a conference table, which could seat so many of us.
In front of each of us, there were quiet plates, dining utensils and cups, and later, the good housekeeper and Xiaodong Xiaoqiu put plates of delicacies on the table, and at the same time, there were two bottles of red wine.
"There is so much to eat, there is no need for so much at all," Zhang Ying frowned at the moment, "We can at least save some of it and put it for tomorrow." β
She is a more planned person, and after knowing that they will have to figure out everything for tomorrow, they don't want to see that we are starting to waste food now, for fear that we will not find food tomorrow.
"I'm sorry Mrs. Xu," said the good housekeeper sincerely, "these are today's dinners, and whether you eat them or not, they won't exist tomorrow." β
In other words, it is impossible to save half, you can eat as much as you want, and if you can't finish it, you won't be able to eat it tomorrow.
Zhang Ying frowned: "How can this be." β
"Okay," Xu Yingjun reassured his wife, "If you can save it directly from here, it will be too simple, we have worked so hard to come here, how can we give us such a simple task, let's eat it now." β
As he spoke, he took a pinch of pasta and put it on Zhang Ying's plate: "Besides, when you were taking a shower, I looked out of the window of our room and found that this is indeed a good place, we are not afraid of not being able to find food, how can your husband and I be also trained, I will not starve you." β
Zhang Yingjiao glanced at him, rolled up the noodles with a fork and put them in her mouth.
Yan Bin also started, after all, he came from a family, even if he later became a policeman, his table manners looked much better than Xu Yingjun and his wife, and he laughed and teased his comrades-in-arms: "Sister-in-law, don't listen to him blow, I think when we trained, this kid knew that he was lazy, and every time he thought that we would make him ready-made, our instructor found out and punished him for bringing us water for a week." β
"Hahaha......" everyone laughed out loud.
Xu Guanyang stared at the braised pork ribs in front of him, and then looked at the plate of red pasta, and the foie gras with red sauce next to him, he made a joke: "This meal is quite bloody, and after eating Ming'er, you say, does it look like the legendary Last Supper?" β
My heart skipped a beat, and this was the third time I'd heard the words "Last Supper" tonight.
It seems to be all inadvertent and unrelated, but a few wisps of uneasiness still rise in my heart.
Mei Li clinged to Xu Guanyang and said, "If you can happily eat such a rich meal with everyone, it doesn't matter if it's the last supper." β
She cast an affectionate gaze at Xu Guanyang, Xu Guanyang smiled, his eyes were a little cold, but he still picked up one of the bottles of red wine on the table and opened it: "Come on, come on, you can't be blind to this red wine, if you don't drink it, it will be gone tomorrow." β
The mouth of the bottle opened, he leaned in first and sniffed it, and said happily: "Very good." β
He filled everyone's cups one by one.
"Come on, cheers!"
Everyone raised their glasses, and I casually swept to Ban Zhi, who followed everyone to raise their glasses, touched the air in a virtual way, retracted her hand, took a sip and put the table down, and continued to eat the food on her plate quietly.
Yes, it's very quiet, everyone is talking and laughing, including Yin Yan, who listened to Xu Guanyang's poor mouth in the face of danger, and occasionally responded to a few words from others, and at first glance, he was fully involved in us, but Ban Zhi, everyone ate her and drank her during the whole process, and in addition, she didn't interact with anyone, including Yin Yan beside her, except for touching the cup just now, she didn't raise her head a few times during the whole process.
Saying that she is immersed in her own world, I think she is more like a puppet or robot with a system set up?
Knowing that it would be difficult to guarantee tomorrow's food after eating this meal, plus after a day of walking on the mountain road today, tired and hungry, everyone ate a lot, prepared a lot of food, and in the end, the rest was really uneaten, and it was less than one-fifth, which was much less than the original thought that there would be half left.
Yin Yan raised his glass again: "Everyone have a good rest tonight, get up early tomorrow, I believe that everyone will have a very good holiday." β
"Hahaha, okay, I'm adventurous, cheers."

β¦β¦
Touching my round belly, I went back to the room with Qiu Shishi, and as soon as I entered the door and saw the dark purple curtains, I felt a headache and my eyes were even more uncomfortable.
The food on the table was more or less red, the wine was red, the dining table and chairs were also red at that time, and now when I return to the room, the curtains are still red, and there is a very oppressive feeling.
I really don't know what kind of taste the people who built this house are.
Sitting on the bed, I found that the quilt cover was actually red, although it was pink, it was nothing on weekdays, but today I couldn't bear it extraordinarily, I didn't like to trouble people, and finally called Xiaoqiu Xiaodong, and asked them if they had any other sheets and quilt covers, and finally changed to a set of white, as for the curtains, it was said that there was no excess for the time being, so I could only endure it first.
Maybe it was a psychological problem, but I finally felt comfortable lying in a patch of white, and as soon as Qiu Shishi came up from the other side of the bed, I immediately rolled over and nestled into his arms.
He turned off the bedside lamp, lay down, and took me into his arms.
The familiar embrace and smell diluted the discomfort and uneasiness caused by the unfamiliar environment, and I didn't need to breathe, but I followed the rhythm of his breathing and slowly fell asleep.
"Ahh
A scream pierced my eardrums, and my whole body trembled, trying to sit up, and I almost collided with the poet.
He sat up and turned on the bedside lamp, and I was a little confused to find my phone, squinting at the time above me, and sitting up with him, the time was two o'clock in the middle of the night, and we slept at nine o'clock, which means we slept for five hours.
"I just thought I heard someone yelling?" I asked the poet uncertainly, a little skeptical that I was having a nightmare.
"No, I heard it too." The Qiu poet is definitely authentic.
I stayed for two seconds to sober myself up, and was about to ask if I wanted to go out and have a look, when the scream woke up again, and I heard a scream in my wake, and I recognized it as Merry's.
Mei Li lives in the same room as Xu Guanyang?
I hurriedly rolled over and got out of bed, and when I heard that the poet had also come down, I went to the door first, opened the door and walked out, and as soon as my foot stepped out, I kicked something.
The lights in the hallway were turned off, and through the not-so-bright bedside lamp reflected in the room, I could see the lump of ...... beneath my feet No, it's a doll, the one that was in my room before, and then asked Xiaodong to take it away.
"You kicked me!"
In the empty hallway, I heard the mechanical female voice, and I was still aroused goosebumps after all I had experienced.
That Xiaodong, why did you throw the doll at my door again?
I looked back at the Qiu poet who was sticking behind me: "Is there anything wrong with this doll?" β
Anyway, I look at this doll without black gas, it doesn't look like it has a life and a soul.
Qiu Shiren frowned slightly, grabbing the doll as if he was thinking about something, and then I heard a scream again, obviously coming from Mei Li and Xu Guanyang's room, and I couldn't take care of the doll for the time being, so I threw it into my room and pulled Qiu Shiren to Xu Guanyang's room.
As soon as he got closer, Yin Yan's door opened, he walked out, and after taking a look at me, he walked to the door of Xu Guanyang's house and knocked on the door: "Guanyang? Guanyang? β
At the same time, Panji, Yan Bin, and Xu Yingjun, who lived on the second floor, also heard the movement and came up.
"What's going on?" Yan Bin, the leader of the serious crime team, asked first, and came to the door of the room, looking like he was about to break the door at any time.
At this time, the door opened, and Xu Guanyang walked out with an ugly face.
"What's wrong, what's wrong?"
"I don't know," Xu Guanyang's face stinks, "Mei Li didn't know why, she slept well and suddenly woke me up, saying that she saw blood coming out of the toilet in the bathroom, I went in to see, there was nothing, I suspected that she had a nightmare, coaxed her to continue sleeping, she shouted and said that there was a third person hidden in our quilt, damn, the bed is so big, I don't know if there are multiple people, not to mention that when she said this, I immediately got out of bed and shook the bed to show her! β
Xu Guanyang was originally very patient with girls, he always boasted that although he was not attentive, but when every woman followed him, he would treat it well, like now, even foul words came out, it can be seen that patience is about to be smoothed out: "Just now, do you know, she actually said that someone was watching her from the ceiling, and she was dripping blood on her face, I turned on the light and didn't see anything...... Do you think she's insane? β
"It's hard to say if it's neurotic, let's go in and see." Qiu Shishi said calmly, and entered the room from Xu Guanyang's side first, and I followed up.
As soon as I entered, I saw that Mei Li, who was wearing a suspender nightdress, didn't even dare to go up to the bed, so she shrunk on the sofa, her hands around her and trembling, her eyes fixed in one place, and she didn't dare to look casually, for fear that she would see something terrible again.
I walked over and gently touched her shoulder, she was startled, and when she saw that it was me, she pleaded and said to me: "I, I really saw it, the woman's eyes bulged out, and her body was full of blood, dripping down, I didn't lie, I really didn't lie......"
"Okay, now that everyone is here, that woman won't come out again, it's okay, it's okay."
I whispered a few words to reassure her, and then turned to look at the poet, who had just circled the room, and we looked at each other's eyes, conveying the message of each other's sights.
The black qi on Mei Li's body is quite jumpy, it can be seen that her emotions fluctuate a lot, she is depressed when she touches it, and there is no cold breath, it can be seen that she is frightened in her heart, then she should not be lying, she may have really seen something.
However, looking at this room again, it was almost the same as mine, with annoying dark purple curtains, and other than that, the room was very clean, and Qiu Shishi confirmed this to me, and he did not find any ghosts in the room.
Nothing, either it was artificially and deliberately scared Mei Li, or as Xu Guanyang said, Mei Li had a nerve problem and had a hallucination?
"It's okay, you might just have a nightmare and get a little bit affected." I took the water cup handed to me by the Qiu poet, the seemingly clean and clear water, and the Qiu poet gave a tranquil talisman, which can drive away some negative emotions, have the effect of sleeping well, and let her sleep well at night.
After drinking the water, Merry looked better, and with my relief, she went back to bed and lay down, and I realized that they also had a doll on the bed, which was quite similar to the one in my room, but the clothes were different.
Eh, the doll's clothes look a little familiar?
Qiu Shiren took off the doll on the bed, threw it on the table on the side, and said to Xu Guanyang: "This kind of humanoid doll is better not to be placed on the bed. β
"Why?"
"It will slowly suck your essence away, and it will want to live."
Xu Guanyang shuddered, and then said suspiciously: "How do I remember that I threw this doll under the bed before I went to bed?" β
"Maybe Mei Li picked it up when she got up before." Yin Yu persuaded, "I think I'm really tired after climbing the mountain for a day today, Mei Li didn't exercise much before, how much exercise at first glance, her body can't go along, this place is built in imitation of the atmosphere of the vampire castle in Central Europe, she was scared and had nightmares, it's normal for her to be scared, now it's okay, since you brought her here, take good care of her." β
"Got it." Although Xu Guanyang was still a little impatient, he did not refuse.
"It's really noisy, I guess, it's you who tired people." Yan Bin punched Xu Guanyang, grabbed the shoulder of the pan halberd, and was about to go back to the room to sleep, and the others also walked out, and I closed the door at the end.
When the door was closed, I subconsciously glanced back, saw the empty table, paused, and remembered that the doll was not thrown on the table, why was it gone? I looked back to make sure that the doll was indeed on the table.
Am I wrong at first glance?
"Banlan?"
The pancake outside was calling out to me, and I didn't go in again to take the doll out and close the door.
Panji looked at me and Qiu Shishi, and then at Yin Yan, and said to me: "You pay more attention, don't sleep too hard, my heart is always a little unpeaceful." β
I nodded, and then Pan Ji went downstairs with Yan Bin, Xu Yingjun and his wife to go back to the room, Yin Yan greeted us, and also walked to his room, from the beginning, he always behaved very calmly about me and Qiu Shishi.
"Ahh I shouted.
