Text Chapter 1 The House in the Woods
An off-road vehicle drives through the mountains.
After several hours of driving, the people in the car gradually became sleepy from excited conversations.
In addition to sleeping snacks, you can only play with your mobile phone. The unchanging mountain roads and trees outside the window make it difficult to see. There is some light fog on the mountain, which slightly affects the speed of the car.
Guo Zhengxiang drove the car, to be honest, it is easy to get sleepy when driving this kind of road, and after driving for a long time, his eyelids are beginning to droop.
"What's wrong, Guo Zhengxiang? Is it there? Sensing that the car had stopped, Cui Kaixuan put down his phone and looked out the window. A winding path ahead disappeared into the endless mist.
At this point, there was a little noise in the car.
"Wow, I slept well, how's it going now?" Fei Xin rubbed her eyes, and the fog outside the window made her think her eyes were blurry, and then she began to rub them again.
Guo Zhengxiang took a sip of water and looked at the navigation: "There are still more than 50 kilometers to go, my eyelids are a little sleepy now, take a rest." As he spoke, he leaned back in his chair and kneaded the nerves around his eyes with both hands.
"Tao Tao, help Guo Zhengxiang rub his eyes, the girl's hands are soft, and the effect is doubled!" Gao Yi smiled.
Guo Zhengxiang sat in front and smiled slightly, and then, a pair of small and soft hands pressed on his temples, gently pressing his flesh, which made him not only hum lightly.
Wang Qian smiled and said: "Tao Tao continues, don't stop, Guo Zhengxiang is almost fine." ”
"What?" Tao Tao was puzzled.
Hey, hey, haha. The crowd laughed.
From everyone's evil laughter, Tao Tao finally understood, and her pretty face was slightly red.
Fei Xin pursed her lips and looked at Wang Qian: "Li Datong in the next class knows that you are such a person, do you dare to chase you?" ”
Gao Yi said: "Fei Meinu, you are wrong, now boys like the sea." ”
Wang Qian said nonchalantly: "There are many people who like me, and he doesn't like me, just right." ”
Fei Xin's mouth was slightly upturned and he looked at the listless boy on the side. "Xiuming, do you like the sea too?"
“…… I don't like the sea. I love waves. Xiu Ming looked at Fei Xin with an evil smile.
"Cut." Fei Xin then looked out the window. From the reflection on the glass, the pointed corners of her mouth can be seen. It's laughing.
Cui Kaixuan suddenly found a message on his mobile phone, frowned, and said: "The road in front is closed, saying that it is a landslide, and in the evening, it will rain heavily, I don't think we can get through." ”
Although more than 50 kilometers is not far away, on this kind of road, it is impossible to drive fast, not to mention fog.
"And that's going to be in the car for one night?" Gao Yi moved his body, he was big, and if he slept in the car, he might be very uncomfortable.
Wang Qian began to speak again at this time: "But there is one more man, what should I do?" ”
“……”
"Haha. Jokes aside, don't take it seriously, but then again, there should be a village here, right? It's better to spend the night, after all, we still have to save our energy to explore the cave tomorrow! Wang Qian said.
Tao Tao also said: "Qianqian is right, you see, is there a dirt road there, it may be a road leading to the village." ”
Everyone saw that in the woods beside the road, there was indeed a dirt road separating the trees on both sides. The lack of grass is indeed caused by long-term stampede.
"Okay, I'll drive in and have a look." Guo Zhengxiang stepped on the accelerator, and the car slowly drove into the woods.
The taillights of the car are getting fainter and fainter in the fog, like two eyes hiding in the abyss.
A breeze blew through the fog at the T-junction, revealing some burnt paper money.
……
The car continued to move forward, and the people behind did not know, but Guo Zhengxiang, who was in the car, saw that the road in front of him was getting smaller and smaller, and more and more weeds began to appear on the dirt road. In this posture, even if there is a village, most of them are not inhabited.
In China, there are a large number of uninhabited villages, and most of these indigenous people have moved to cities or nearby villages.
After driving for a total of 20 minutes, Cui Kaixuan, who was sitting in the co-pilot, pointed ahead and said, "Look, what is that?" ”
And behold, behind the tree, there was something higher than the tree.
"It seems to be a roof." Gao Yi wondered.
"Let's go ahead and see, if not, we'll go back." After Guo Zhengxiang made a decision, no one objected, so after driving for another 10 minutes, he finally reached the front.
"Wow! What a big Western-style house! Wang Qian sighed.
"It's so big, it should be called a castle, right?" Cui Kaixuan looked at the building in the fog.
Guo Zhengxiang opened the car door and jumped out of the car: "Let's go, let's take a look, such a big house, there shouldn't be no one, if you can, let's stay here for one night." ”
"Let's go together. I don't think it's good to be separated. Xiu Ming looked at everyone.
Everyone felt that Xiu Ming was right, so Guo Zhengxiang parked the car, and the seven walked to the gate of the building.
The ground covered by weeds is paved with gravel, which is comfortable to step on and crunch, and the castle is flanked by flower beds, but it has been abandoned for many years. A few large trees had no one to build branches and leaves, and they grew tall and large, except for the twisted branches, as if they were showing their teeth and claws.
"Anyone?" Guo Zhengxiang knocked on the door. The door is so heavy that one wonders if you can hear it inside.
The crowd waited for ten minutes, but there was no sound inside the door.
"It seems that there is no one."
"It's a shame that no one lives in such a big house." Tao Tao said.
Gao Yi shook his head: "It doesn't have to be that there is no one, maybe the master's family is not there." ”
"Nope. This house, no one has been here for a long time. Xiu Ming said behind everyone.
"How?"
Xiu Ming pointed to the doorknob: "If someone lives, the part of this doorknob handshake should be different from other parts." But this doorknob is rusted throughout, and there is no distinction between old and new. ”
"I see." Everyone suddenly said, "It looks like I can't live here tonight." ”
Gao Yi pushed the door hard unconvinced, but didn't push it open.
But the door seemed to loosen a little, and it felt like pushing a bamboo pole, pushing and bouncing back.
"Seems like it could!" Gao Yi is tall, good at sports, and his physical fitness is the best among everyone, so he spit on his hand twice, rubbed his hands, and pushed hard.
With a bang, the door that had been sealed for an unknown amount of time was pushed open.
An unpleasant and cold smell came to their faces, and the three girls couldn't help but shiver for a moment, and then the mist poured into the gate.
The weather outside was damp, and when I looked inside the house, I felt even more dark and oppressive, and I could barely see a small area.
As far as the eye can see, there is a large hall with ancient chandeliers and some unburned candles.
On the wall of the hall, there is an oil painting that I can't see what it is, and a long table is placed in the middle of the hall, under the chandelier.
"Let's go, let's go in and have a look, stay here for one night, it should be fine." Guo Zhengxiang walked in. Everyone is also moving forward, and in any case, it is better to have a place to sleep than to sit and sleep in a crowded car.
