Chapter 097: Snake Town
Ji Zimo smiled because Su Qingmei was facing a bloody patient, and he was not scared away by the cold scalpel in his hand, but he would cry because of an insignificant nightmare.
Seeing her pear blossom crying with rain, he was distressed. Softly, like coaxing a child, he hugged Su Qingmei, who was trembling, and said, "Okay, don't be like this, isn't it just a dream, why bother?" β
Su Qing's eyebrows were full of Ji Zimo's good smell, and the scorching body temperature covered her face (hot) (hot), and her heart was extremely warm. She finally looked up, staring at his chiseled face, lilac lips, thick eyebrows, and piercing eyes with teary eyes.
Ji Zimo was surprised that Su Qingmei could stare at him so intently, he thought thoughtfully, reached out to scratch her armpits, and teased: "Aha, haven't woken up yet?" β
Su Qingmei screamed in disgust, clamped his armpits, shyly, sat up straight with both hands away from Ji Zimo's body, and sorted out his emotions a little under his concerned gaze.
"Why, I'm fine." It's false to say that it's okay, and the lingering horror images in my mind are flashing in an orderly manner like a movie. The real and pale face, bright blood red, like taking root in her heart, made her palpitate and be afraid.
Ji Zimo hugged her affectionately, without the intention of starting the car, giving her a little warmth, and only started the car and drove away when she was sure that she was really fine.
This time, Su Qingmei didn't dare to sleep, her eyes widened, and she didn't let go of everything that swept by the window. I want to focus on enjoying the scenery along the way and leave the unhappiness behind me.
In order to change the atmosphere, Ji Zimo took the initiative to ask: "What did you dream about just now, tell me about it." He wanted to distract Su Qingmei and let her share the horror, so that she wouldn't be alone because of the nightmare.
Su Qingmei stared in front of him, and in front of him was a gray belt that led to a far end and no end. The two sides of the ribbon are covered with various weeds, a ball of fluffy white balls of dandelions, and small yellow (colored) flowers mixed with green.
The air outside must be fresh, and the smell of scallop earth. Su Qingmei frowned slightly in her reverie and said: "I dreamed of the Ji family's old house, I dreamed of many strange faces, and I dreamed of ~" She paused, noticed that Ji Zimo was listening carefully, and continued: "I dreamed that you and the other two were tied to the stump by these people, covered in blood. β
Ji Zimo smiled. Today, he was in a surprisingly good mood, and he would not be affected by Su Qingmei's nightmare, and he would go home urgently, and then climb a mountain, passing through the last remote town far from the downtown area to the area of the Ji family's old house.
There is a large meadow around the Ji family's old house, and a large wood, and on the other side of the woods is a cemetery. He didn't have the slightest impression of how that cemetery came to be, as if there had been such a cemetery for as long as he could remember.
Not far from the cemetery, there are many caves of various sizes.
Ji Zimo was listening to Su Qingmei's narration, and his thoughts had drifted to the Ji family's old house. He seemed to see his parents, Ji Shanshan, and her fiancΓ©, whom he had never met, at the door of the house, welcoming him and Su Qingmei.
"You didn't listen to me?" Su Qingmei finally found that Ji Zimo was a little absent-minded, she paused for a while after talking about the nightmare, he didn't answer, just blindly driving, his expression seemed to be focused, but the expression of his eyes and complexion changed faintly.
This change is not a change in her perception of nightmares, but more like a longing for something, and unconsciously bringing emotions into her memories.
Ji Zimo heard Su Qingmei questioning, and hurriedly explained: "What's the matter, I've been listening, and I thought you hadn't finished speaking." With him, she never wanted to say more, didn't want to say something he didn't like, and didn't want to ask about his work.
"Really?" Su Qingmei looked forward again, the road was extending, and the scenery and environment on both sides of the road were changing. Sometimes it's a knife-cut mountain, sometimes it's a cliff, and the ravines and ravines that have been washed away by the rain.
Finely fragmented rock particles, like a dark brown waterfall, cascade down until the foot of the mountain is covered by a barbed wire fence. The plants that survive in the ravines are either bent or stand tall in the wind with a tenacious and unyielding thin posture, shaking in the wind, and a red-winged dragonfly perches on a thorny weed for a while, and dances in the mountains.
"Why don't you speak?" There is a dangerous road ahead, and the position is very high, and the car climbs up effortlessly, and you can faintly see the town hidden in the mountains and forests from the high position.
In this kind of place, Su Qingmei really didn't dare to speak, she was afraid that Ji Zimo would be distracted and put both of them in danger. When the car slowly descended, she breathed a sigh of relief and asked with a smile: "You said that the town has a small population and a strange legend, can you tell me?" β
"Shh Ji Zimo pretended to be mysterious and exaggerated expression, and deliberately teased Su Qingmei and said: "Little sister, tell you, this town has a name that scares you, called ~ Ghost Town." β
Su Qingmei was really frightened by his sudden expression, and it was really unbelievable to hear him say such a strange place name. How could it be called by that name? It's weird.
"Haha, women are easy to deceive." Ji Zimo laughed, and the car did not slow down, accelerating forward. He added, "There's no such thing as Ghost Town, its real name is Snake Town. β
Even the name of this snake town sounds terrifying, and what Su Qingmei is especially afraid of is the cold snake.
Is there a lot of snakes in Snake Town that gave it this name? Fortunately, Ji Zimo didn't stop in the town. Su Qingmei was thinking about this, and he said coldly: "I'll take you to Snake Town later." β
"Oh! Hasn't the town been left behind by us? β
Ji Zimo pursed his lips and smiled: "Silly girl, what we saw just now was the town, and we saw it in the direction we went, and the town hasn't been over yet, just under the hillside." β
Su Qingmei was silent. If Ji Zimo really wanted to go to Snake Town to rest, how could she stop it? People drive day and night. It's a machine, so it's time to take a break!
While speaking, Snake Town has arrived.
An old bluestone slab is paved, and on both sides are uneven houses of various shapes. The people here didn't show much interest in the arrival of the two uninvited guests, they were only curious about the super cool four-wheeled car.
Ji Zimo got out of the car with Su Qingmei, and the adults and children who came over tacitly gathered around the car. Reach out and touch this, look at that, but hostile to two strangers.
Su Qingmei didn't understand what was going on, and saw that Ji Zimo took out two red tickets, just bought two bottles of pure water and two pieces of bread. He quietly asked, "Why are these people like this?" β
"Shhh, don't talk, the people here are like this to the people who come outside, let's leave quickly, it's okay, otherwise let them catch you, it's miserable." Su Qingmei saw that he didn't speak like a joke, he was very serious, his heart was empty, and he hid behind Ji Zimo and went to the car.
Ji Zimo took out a large handful of change from his bag, smiled at the adults and children around the car, and scattered the money a few meters away from the car.
Su Qingmei was stunned by Ji Zimo's series of neat actions, and she turned around to look at the people who were chasing the car from the back of the car, and she was even more confused.
"You should understand why my grandfather built such a house away from the crowd, right?"
Su Qingmei still didn't understand the meaning of Ji Zimo's words, and she was also puzzled by the strange behavior of the people in Snake Town.
"The people here are quite savage, and Grandpa and his friends went on an expedition, and a terrible thing happened when they passed through this town, and the people of the town were very hostile to outsiders from then on. Grandpa, they had to build a house far from the town. β
"Is it the Ji family's old house?"
"Yes, the funder is my grandfather, although after the construction, his friends lived in it, but the house was always our Ji family."
"Oh." Su Qingmei was suddenly interested in the legend of Snake Town, and she wanted to know what the terrible incident Ji Zimo was talking about.
It's a pity that after walking out of Snake Town, Ji Zimo never mentioned the people and things in Snake Town. She has always been a person who is reluctant to talk much, and she will not force the other party to say what he is unwilling to say.
Snake Town was left far behind, and in front of Ji Zimo and Su Qingmei, there was a pothole, a rotten road formed by rock particles and dirt.
Ji Zimo said that the people of Snake Town did not dare to disturb the Ji family's old house, that is, they were afraid of taking this bad road. There are many snakes around Snake Town, most of them are so poisonous, Snake Town people regard snakes as gods, but anyone who dares to run out of Snake Town in private will definitely be bitten to death by snakes on the road, and finally eaten by wild animals in the mountains and forests.
Hearing this, Su Qingmei suddenly felt uncomfortable. It's like a snake crawling in the car, and it's about to crawl to the creepy feeling of the body.
Ji Zimo saw Su Qingmei's face pale, and hurriedly stopped talking and asked, "What's wrong, uncomfortable?" β
"No~ nothing."
The car was bumpy on the road for a while, and Su Qingmei really saw a snake crawling on the side of the road from the window glass. The big ones are the thickness of arms, the small ones are like a straw rope, and the colorful bodies move forward in a very fast rolling pattern in the grass.
Ji Zimo said that the car must have passed by, and the vibration was so loud that the snakes crawled out of the hole to check. He also said that the snake here is not afraid of people, eats everything, flies and animals, as long as it can swallow, it cannot escape its capture.
"Don't talk about it." Su Qingmei had a dense layer of goosebumps on her arm, and she wiped it with her hands vigorously, and the coldness in her body was even worse. She didn't dare to continue to look out the car window, and stopped Ji Zimo from continuing to talk in anxiety, this trip to the Ji family's old house was really hard, not only saw the terrible snake, but also had an extremely terrifying nightmare.
