Chapter 20: Ghost Navigation (4)
"Let's go!" The man's parched lips closed one by one, repeating the two words over and over again.
Xiaoli was stunned for a few seconds before she burst into a scream, and the vigorous voice who was patrolling outside the house broke in and shouted, "What's wrong? Xiaoli turned her head stiffly, pointed to her back, and then pointed to the mirror.
Vigorously didn't know why, he slowly approached Xiaoli: "I didn't see anything?" Xiaoli mustered up the courage to look in the mirror again, and the man was still muttering, "Go, go." Only then did she notice that the man was empty from the waist down, and he seemed to only have the upper body. Dali also walked to the mirror at this time, he looked at Xiaoli's back through the mirror, and then swallowed saliva with a pale face, and asked in a trembling voice, "What is this?" Xiaoli moved her gaze to Dali in the mirror, and just wanted to answer him, but she couldn't say a word when she opened her mouth wide, and that kind of look was clearly telling Dali that there was something on his back. Through the mirror, Dali also saw that she was also carrying a woman with fluffy hair and tattered clothes, she also had no legs, just stared at herself blankly, and repeatedly said: "Go, go..."
…
After parting ways with everyone, Luo Zhen walked towards the top of the mountain alone. The damp fog was vast, the sky and the earth were gloomy, and the mountain wind rose suddenly, and he only felt the cold air penetrating his body. Where the hell is navigation taking me? As he was thinking this, he suddenly saw a very distinctive bamboo house. This is probably the most modern building in the village, and it is a bit out of place in its surroundings. He also saw a man standing on a platform outside the house, seemingly waiting for him. When he got closer, he realized that this man was not dressed like a farmer, but much like a city person.
"Hello, excuse me..."Luo Zhen tried to greet him in a friendly manner, although he couldn't be sure if this person was a human or a ghost: "What the hell is this place?" ”
The man tilted his head slightly and smiled at him. It was a young man who looked to be in his 30s, very thin, with messy hair, a yellow face, and very haggard. Seeing that he didn't answer, Luo Zhen raised his voice and asked, "Do you know how far this place is from Kinmen Mountain Villa?" ”
"You're following the navigation, aren't you?" The man finally spoke. Luo Zhen was very surprised, and nodded hurriedly, but the man turned around and walked towards the bamboo house: "Come in and sit down!" Saying that, he had already opened the door and entered the house, Luo Zhen was very hesitant, and under the battle between heaven and man, he finally slowly walked to the door.
The furnishings in the bamboo house are very simple, and the handmade furniture looks like a new brand. The young man sat down on the sofa and made a gesture of invitation to Luo Zhen. Luo Zhen smiled reluctantly and sat down opposite him.
"Don't be afraid," said the man, "I just want to ask you to do me a favor." ”
…
No matter how hard Su Ying tried, she never managed to get rid of that ghostly voice, nor could she get out of this courtyard. Hell, she crouched down and grabbed the piece of chalk that swirled around her feet. The voice suddenly became eager: "He Erniu, He Erniu!" ”
Su Ying slowly calmed down and began to think about the meaning of all this. Slowly, she used chalk to write the three words "Who are you" on the ground, but the voice still repeated He Erniu repeatedly, Su Ying thought about it again, and wrote the three words He Erniu with chalk.
Su Ying squatted there, and suddenly felt that there was an extra person beside her. Through the mist, she saw a pair of man's big feet, covered in muddy straw sandals. It was a typical rural person's legs, black and strong, with the trouser legs rolled up, and you could see the well-developed hair. Su Ying was so frightened that she didn't dare to raise her head, and the voice sounded again: "My name, is it my name?" Su Ying didn't dare to answer, but nodded. For some reason, the fog suddenly lightened a lot, and now I can clearly see the courtyard gate.
The chalk suddenly moved on its own, and then wrote the words "He Erniu" on the ground crookedly.
"Thank you, thank you!" The man said. Su Ying lowered her head and slowly stood up, turned to the courtyard gate, and then ran out of the courtyard without looking back.
…
"I'm so tired!" Mr. Huang was sweating profusely, and his hair was wet and sticking to his head. Exhausted, he clung to the wall and stopped, unable to catch up with the hateful wicker chairs
Mrs. Huang also sat down on the ground. Strangely, they didn't move, and neither did the chair. The son sat unusually quietly on the wicker chair, not crying or making a fuss.
"Husband, you just sit on a chair, so maybe they won't be able to turn. I'll take the opportunity to get my son back. Mrs. Huang said to Mr. Huang breathlessly.
That's a good idea, Mr. Huang nodded. With all the strength he had left, he stood up and slammed into one of the wicker chairs, which struggled a few times before falling silent. But after Mr. Huang sat down, his expression changed, and he became sluggish. Mrs. Huang saw that this was wrong, she wanted to pull her husband, but the rattan chair was still rotating, Mrs. Huang wanted to cry without tears, she shouted: "I will fight with you!" "I sat down in a chair too.
After all three of them sat down, the four wicker chairs did not move. When Mr. and Mrs. Huang came back to their senses, they found that at some point, an old lady was sitting on the remaining rattan chair. She was wearing an old-fashioned white cloth shirt, clean and clean, with a kind and kind expression, looking at the three of them and choking up: "It's good to be back, let's eat!" ”
There was no food on the table, but the couple did not feel fearful. Mrs. Huang wanted to smile at the old man for some reason, but in an instant, they found that they were already outside the bamboo forest, and the old lady stood far away in the courtyard, waving goodbye to them.
…
"What should I do?" Xiaoli was so frightened that she didn't dare to move, and she didn't dare to raise her head. Just whispered vigorously to ask.
"Let's go out first, maybe just get out of this mirror and we'll be fine. Come, take me by the hand. He replied with a strong breath, and then slowly stretched out his left hand to Xiaoli. Xiao Li used all her strength to raise her right hand and grabbed the force. Under the movement, the two felt very heavy on their bodies, as if they were carrying two mountains on their backs, they gritted their teeth and walked out of the shack step by step.
Outside, both of them felt lighter, and they could no longer see the ghost behind them. "Let's go!" The voices of a man and a woman, illusory and ethereal, are superimposed in the ears, which is extremely weird. Dali and Xiaoli glanced at each other, and continued towards the path next to the shack.
The fog is so thick that people can't see the surrounding environment clearly, and they only feel overgrown with weeds and shadows. I don't know how long it took to walk, but the more they walked, the lighter the weight on their backs, and the two held each other's hands tightly and walked along the mountain step by step. Suddenly, two voices came from my ears: "It's okay...", and then, a cool breeze hit, taking away the last trace of weight on the two of them.
...
"You mean, you developed this navigation software?" Luo Zhen looked at the young man in surprise.
The young man nodded: "I am an all-round development engineer and use my spare time to make this navigation software myself. But—" The man coughed suddenly, and continued to narrate with some weakness: "Before I could go online, my body collapsed. Then, I came here to recuperate. ”
The man fell crooked on the sofa, and Luo Zhen felt that it was almost a skeleton. The man reluctantly lifted his spirits and looked at Luo Zhen: "You are a young entrepreneur, right?" Luo Zhen nodded.
"My last wish is that this software can be launched, can you help me?"
"You mean you want me to invest in your navigation software?" Luo Zhenqi said.
The man nodded and stretched out a hand to Luo Zhen, which was a black USB flash drive.
