Chapter 16: Long-distance trains

I was in the hospital watching my little sister, and she didn't know when her coma would return to normal. Zhao Yuer couldn't stop crying when she saw my sad appearance, Zhao Yuer bought a lot of delicious food for Erniang. We stayed at the third uncle's house for another night, the third uncle and the third mother also asked me about my study, Zhao Yuer and I were misunderstood by them and thought we were a couple, and it took them a long time to understand that in fact, the two of us were just good friends. After staying at the third uncle's house for another day, Zhao Yuer and I left Longquan Town.

"Nie Yu, don't be sad, look at the little sister's appearance is still the same as before, as long as we find the ice jade bracelet, it is possible to lift her curse." Sitting on the long-distance bus, Zhao Yuer kept comforting me.

"It's okay, I'm much better now, but I just saw my little sister and Erniang and remembered my second uncle again, I don't have biological parents who brought me up, but now ......." The depressed mood continued to linger, Zhao Yuer looked at me and shook her head, she knew that the affairs of our family were not so simple and could be easily put down.

I looked at the scene flashing outside the window for two hours by car, and the depression in my heart couldn't stop the fast time, and in a blink of an eye we arrived at the school gate, at this time Wu Shirong had already arrived at the door, and we had a simple meal in the small restaurant at the school gate, and then took a taxi to the door of the train station. There were a lot of people at the gate of the train station, all of them students returning home from vacation, and we also squeezed in with large bags and small bags. As luck would have it, the three of us were seated next to each other.

The three of us were berths in the twelve-car, the last car. The middle seat was found, and we sat down with our luggage. It was a four-person sleeper, Zhao Yuer and I went up and down, and Wu Shirong was on his own.

"Let me go, please let go!" At this time, a girl squeezed in from the crowd in the opposite carriage, with a pair of glasses thicker than chocolate biscuits, more than 1.6 meters tall, she combed her shawl hair, but she wore a big silver longevity lock around her neck.

"Hello, may I ask if there is no one here, my seat number seems to be here!" Saying that, the girl put her luggage on the luggage rack and sat down next to Wu Shirong.

I looked at the girl on the other side as if I had seen it somewhere, this girl had black and bright hair almost up to her waist, her thin figure was wearing a denim short-sleeved shirt, a white shirt inside, a silver-white belt on denim shorts, a high nose bridge, and a pair of big watery eyes under thick slender eyebrows.

"Hey, how coincidentally? Aren't you Zhao Lili of a computer company? Do you do this too? After I finished speaking, Wu Shirong, who was playing with the computer, hurriedly looked up.

"Yes, it turned out to be the two of you, no, it's three, and now there's another beauty. Where are you going? Listening to your accent, it seems to be local, is it a foreign tour? She put her things away and sat down in her chair. Wu Shirong tilted his neck and leaned next to her deliberately.

"Yes, the three of us are going to travel to Miao Village in Jiangxi, the scenery there is very good, and we heard that people there will be Gu, so we are very curious to go there to take a look." Her eyes were wide on me.

"Miao Village? No, my family is from Wencheng, and I am from Miao Village, but after graduating from high school, I was assigned to Haicheng University to major in archaeology, which is too coincidental, I will be a free tour guide for you! Zhao Lili almost jumped up with joy, she hurriedly took out a lot of fruits from her backpack for us to eat.

"Your hometown is from Wencheng? Is that the Miao village? "I was also a little incredulous, it was just too much of a coincidence.

"That's right, my family has been there for generations, and I know what Gu you are talking about, but I haven't raised it. Gu is to use poisonous insects to curse others, or puppets and so on, it seems to be some kind of disgusting technique. You're not going to use it to hurt people, are you? Her eyes widened.

"We're not going to hurt others, if we're going to save people, my little sister ......" I told her the purpose of our visit, and by my instinct she wasn't a bad person, and she was in the same school as us, so she wasn't wary.

"Oh? Then you are really a good brother, if I were your little sister, I would be very happy, but unfortunately I am alone in our family. By the way, I'm one year older than you, so you have to call me Senior Sister ....... "The three of us fell in love with Zhao Lili and chatted all afternoon.

It was slowly getting dark, and my stomach was hungry unconsciously. Wu Shirong wants to invite us to the dining car to eat, this guy usually orders a dish with meat in the school cafeteria for a week, and today he saw the beautiful woman and became generous, and after eating, we returned to our seats and continued to chat.

"Zhao Lili, do you have a boyfriend?" Wu Shirong looked at Zhao Lili with a smile, Zhao Lili may have seen a little chill and hurriedly hugged her shoulder.

"Well, this is my personal question, I won't tell you, I hope you can talk about something constructive." Zhao Lili pretended to be serious and looked at me and Zhao Yuer.

"You're boyfriend and girlfriend, aren't you?" As soon as she finished asking, Zhao Yuer was a little embarrassed by Zhao Lili's question, and her cheeks turned red.

"We're good friends, buddies!" I hurriedly explained, but Zhao Yuer looked at me as if she was unhappy.

We were all sleepy chatting and chatting, the snack carts were pushing around, and occasionally a few conductors and police officers were patrolling back and forth. What did I feel was wrong? The lights in the carriage were still bright more than ten minutes ago, but now they suddenly dimmed, and they were surprisingly quiet. It's impossible, the train is not a dormitory at this time, why did so many people on the train lose their voices all of a sudden, I quickly got up to take a look, and Zhao Lili also got up at this time.

"Zhao Lili, don't you think it's weird here? Why is the carriage suddenly so quiet? I looked at Zhao Lili, she seemed to be thinking about something, and then got out of the sleeper and put on her shoes.

"Let's go and see together, I also think it's strange how it is possible for so many people to fall asleep at the same time, and the conductor is also asleep and motionless." Zhao Lili also looked at me curiously, and we walked into other carriages together.

Zhao Lili and I walked cautiously to the carriage in front, there was no light in the carriage, and everyone was dozing off. Suddenly, there seemed to be two or three people in front of them, carrying big packages, they didn't sleep, but reached out to touch those who were asleep, and when they touched their wallets and mobile phones, they went into the big bags behind them.

"Thief! Zhao Lili go find the police! They're stealing passengers! After I finished talking to Zhao Lili, I hurriedly pushed her.

"This is really a thief, but they are not ordinary thieves, you see that everyone else is asleep and they are awake, they must have played a trick on the people here!" Zhao Lili looked at me with great certainty.

"Gu? So why is it okay for me to be okay with you? How do you know that it must be a Gu, how can it not be a psychedelic drug or something? "I looked at Zhao Lili and felt more and more that she was a little weird.

"There is a kind of Gu worm in our Miao Village, also called Sleepy Gu, as long as the powder of this Gu worm is thrown into the air, all the people who come into contact with it will fall asleep, and they can do bad things, this kind of Gu is just a very rudimentary Gu that can be mastered in a few years." Zhao Lili hid behind me and watched secretly, and at this time, the men in black were about to walk to us, and Zhao Lili and I hurriedly hid under the bed in the sleeper.

"So what now? Are we just watching them run rampant here? If they come and turn over our stuff, we won't be able to beat them, can we? "I'm a little anxious, it's okay to exorcise ghosts, these are all big living people, and my spell doesn't work against living people at all.

"It's okay, I have a way for you to stand still." After Zhao Lili finished speaking, she took down a round iron ball from the sleeper in her hand, and the iron ball seemed to be full of hollow patterns.

At this moment a thief dressed in black seemed to hear our conversation, and walked towards us with his neck crooked, and he pulled out a long dagger as he went. I saw the dagger hurriedly get under the bed again, but then Zhao Lili stood up, she opened the iron ball, lit the things inside with a lighter, and then covered the lid and shook it, bursts of green smoke came out of the iron ball.

"Who's there? Who? Come out, you're welcome if you don't come out again! "The black-clad thief seemed to hear my to-and-fro movements, and became even more mad, raised his knife, pushed open the door of our carriage, and bent over with wide eyes, his hood was black and a sock cover, showing only his eyes and nose.

"It's me, can you see what this is?" Saying that, Zhao Lili flashed out of the door, and blew the iron ball, and the green smoke on the iron ball came out and floated towards the thief, who was very smart, and quickly covered his nose with his hand. At that moment, a dark figure jumped down from the top bunk and hugged the thief. The black shadow hugged the eggplant's waist and squeaked the thief's armpit hard, and the thief couldn't help the sudden itch, but still opened his mouth and took a breath.

"Don't fall down yet!" With Zhao Lili's voice, the big man with the hood sat motionless on the ground, and I looked at the black shadow, which turned out to be Wu Shirong.

"Wu Shirong, you didn't sleep either! Thank you just now, you're so smart! "I gave him a thumbs up, I really admired him.

"I fell asleep just now but was woken up by the sound of you talking, I heard what you said, I was thinking of helping you so I jumped up, don't thank me or Zhao Lili is amazing, let's go to that carriage and subdue them all!" Wu Shirong puffed up his chest and glanced at Zhao Lili, who was made to laugh by his contrived appearance.

The two thieves lost their partners and slowly came to our side, Zhao Lili and Wu Shirong and I were ambushed at the door, and when the two thieves came over, Zhao Lili's old trick was repeated, and the green smoke repeatedly hit their faces, boom! Boom! Two muffled sounds, all of them fascinated ....... Then we found some ropes and tied the three of them tightly, and we went back to our sleeper .......

"Zhao Lili, you liar, you said during the day that you haven't played Gu, it turns out that you are a master of Gu!" I looked at her in bewilderment, it was already midnight, and I had just woken up and taken the three thieves away.

"Today's Gu is just the breeze and crisp smoke that restrains the sleepy Gu, I took it with me when I went out for self-defense, I didn't tell you because I was afraid of unnecessary trouble, if others heard it, it might be bad for us...... Zhao Lili hurriedly explained to us.
