Chapter 36: The Vanishing White Horse Village
Uncle Ghost's words made me realize the urgency of the situation, and I booked a ticket online early the next morning, intending to leave directly. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The luggage was ready early that evening, not much stuff, just a backpack.
According to Uncle Ghost's description, Baima Village is very small and remote, on the edge of Miao Jiang, this place is close to the 100,000 Great Mountain.
In White Horse Village, Uncle Ghost doesn't describe much, and my impression is very fragmentary.
Early in the morning, just as I was packing my bags, there was a knock on the door.
I was curious, I looked at my watch, it was only about five o'clock in the morning, I looked out the window, it was not yet dawn.
At this point in time, according to Jiang Lai and Peng Jiahe's habits, it is impossible to get up so early.
But thinking of the greeting I had with Jiang Lai last night, I guessed it might be Jiang Lai.
I opened the door, but I was surprised to find that it was Peng Jiahe.
Peng Jiahe stood outside, a little hesitant, as if he was hesitating about something, but after seeing my luggage, he immediately changed his face and asked, "Where are you going?" ”
I turned around and continued to pack some things, and casually replied, "I'm going out for a while." ”
"I'm going too!"
Peng Jiahe took a step forward and immediately responded.
I turned my head to look at her, and then smiled, "I have something to go out, and I guess I'll be back soon." What are you doing with it? ”
To be honest, in addition to being burdensome to bring Peng Jiahe, the most important thing is that now Peng Jiahe feels more and more weird to me, as if he is relying on me.
I'm not saying that she wants me anything, it's just that this kind of traumatic psychological dependence makes me very entangled, originally I and Peng Jiahe are people from two worlds, and she inexplicably mixed into my life.
The emotion is sudden and very different.
It's like a stranger suddenly becomes your loved one.
If you want to say that it is a little girl of seven or eight years old, I will raise it, but she is a big girl, and she feels very special for me, and it makes me really embarrassed to stay under one roof.
If I don't take her out this time, to be honest, it's also a bit of a lookout.
"I don't care, I'm going with you. You can't stop me! ”
Peng Jiahe stretched out his hand and stopped directly at the door, looking at me stubbornly.
Next, I didn't feel comfortable doing anything.
When I went to the study, she followed me, had breakfast, she followed me, and even when I went to the toilet, she stood outside the door, guarding against it.
In the end, I really couldn't help it: "Okay, okay, you follow me, just don't complain when the time comes." ”
"I'm not afraid of hardship!"
Peng Jiahe's face was full of surprise in an instant, and then he looked at me vigilantly, as if he was afraid that I would secretly escape.
"Don't lie to me!"
I shook my head in distress, I really didn't have the strength to entangle with her, compared to my life, these were trivial things: "Okay, I won't lie to you." ”
Peng Jiahe smiled triumphantly and hurriedly turned around to tidy up his things.
At this time, the door of the guest room slowly opened, and Jiang Lai walked over with a gloating face: "Brother, what a blessing!" ”
"Blessed you are big!"
I slapped Jiang Lai directly on the back of the head, and then asked, "Have you sorted out your things?" ”
"It's been ready for a long time!" Jiang Lai sat casually at the dining table, picked up the porridge and ate it.
When I came back last night, I told Jiang directly, Zhang Fatzi has a job and has to take care of Xiaoyu, so he can't leave at all, and at this time, the only one who can reflect me is Jiang Lai, who has just met him.
Fortunately, so far, Jiang Lai is still a person who can be trusted, otherwise, he would not be able to be with him in matters where his life is at stake.
Jiang Lai glanced at Peng Jiahe's room, saw Peng Jiahe packing up his things in the room, and hurriedly came over.
"Brother, I said, why are you so used to this Peng Jiahe, she is spicy and has a big temper, besides, she is an irrelevant person, her family is dead, and it's none of your business, you give her food and live for her, you just let her go out to live, she doesn't have no relatives."
I glared at Jiang Lai fiercely, almost wanting to hit him, but fortunately, I also knew that Jiang Lai was just talking nonsense, so I didn't have a good temperament.
"You still don't think people are miserable enough, besides, it's not easy for a little girl, don't look at her now, in fact, how much suffering there is in her heart, only she knows."
"She's like this now, she just needs to use one thing to divert her attention, don't tell me, you don't know that she secretly cries every night, some things, just pretend not to know,"
"Hehe, I knew my brother was a good person!"
Jiang Lai grinned and looked at me with a smile on his face.
I knocked him with chopsticks: "You kid, still test me!" ”
After eating, Peng Jiahe also packed up, and we took a taxi to the high-speed rail station and set off directly.
After more than ten hours of high-speed rail, my butt hurt, and then there were trains, cars, black cars, horse-drawn carriages, and in the end, we even got on the donkey cart.
Counting down, we made a dozen turns. It was also the first time I knew that riding in a car turned out to be so painful.
On the evening of the fourth day, we finally came to a small town in the middle of nowhere. By the time we reached the town, we were exhausted.
What I didn't expect was that Peng Jiahe persevered without saying a word, without calling out bitterness or tiredness.
I even sometimes feel that Peng Jiahe is deliberately torturing himself.
The Ghost Eye Three Corpse Gu had a seizure during this period, this attack had no warning, the suddenness of the incident really scared Jiang Lai and Peng Jiahe, Jiang Lai knew a little bit about me, but Peng Jiahe was completely frightened, and when I got better, he still hugged me tightly, swinging all over, and his face was full of tears.
Seeing Peng Jiahe like this, I was really moved.
Although some of it was due to the dependence and fear of psychological trauma, it is undeniable that it was the first time since my parents left me that I felt that someone cared for me so closely.
As soon as we arrived in the town, we found a dilapidated hotel to live in, at this time, we didn't care how expensive or dilapidated the hotel was, as soon as we lay on the hotel bed, we fell asleep.
When we woke up, we finally regained some of our spirits.
Jiang Lai lay on the bed in the hotel and complained to me: "Brother, you are really a huge pit, you are so far away, and you are so tired, I feel that I have been riding in the car of my life in the past few days." ”
As he spoke, he pretended to exaggerate and covered his stomach: "No, I want to vomit when I talk about the car now." ”
I gave me a blank look: "Okay, you might as well take a good rest if you have the energy." ”
Looking at the time, it was already ten o'clock in the morning, and it seemed that we slept late enough this time, so it can be seen that this trip really tired us.
Although I felt pain and exhaustion all over my body, I struggled to get up and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
When I came out of the bathroom refreshed, Jiang Lai was still humming on the bed, but I just didn't get up, I shook my head and walked directly to the door.
I went straight to the proprietress of this guesthouse.
The proprietress is about forty years old, dressed in fancy clothes, and her chubby body is still dressed like a little girl.
The eyes never look at people with their eyes open, and the smiling face makes people know that it is fake at a glance.
When I walked over, she was sitting on the counter, munching on melon seeds and watching TV.
Seeing me coming, she spit out the melon seed shell in her mouth and said, "I told you, after twelve o'clock, you have to add a day's money." ”
The voice is a little sharp, and a little mean.
I smiled, I didn't care, I didn't need to worry about so many things when I was out of the house.
I smiled and asked, "Sister, let me ask, is there a village on your side called White Horse Village?" ”
"White Horse Village? What is Hakuba Village, we haven't heard of a place called Hakuba Village in this place? The proprietress looked at me suspiciously, as if I was talking nonsense.
I frowned, took out a piece of paper from my arms, according to the location that Uncle Ghost said, White Horse Village is in this place.
I thought it was just that the proprietress didn't know, so I thanked me and was ready to ask someone else.
The proprietress knew what I was planning when she looked at me, and sneered: "Our place, there is no place I don't know, White Horse Village, we don't have this village in this place at all." ”
I ignored it and walked straight out.
But what I didn't expect was that when I asked a few people, no one knew that there was a place in Hakuba Village.
I didn't give up, and I asked the taxi driver and the bus driver again, but the conclusions were surprisingly consistent.
I don't know.
If one person says this, it is possible to lie, but the fact that several people say this makes me have to consider the truth of this statement.
I looked at the paper in my hand and couldn't help but hesitate.
"Uncle Ghost said it's in this place, how can no one know?"
