Chapter 5: The Night Road

The half-used bus stopped steadily in front of a somewhat crooked stop sign, and the door creaked open.

Two men stood at the door of the car, waving goodbye to the car.

"Goodbye, little beauties, be careful on the road and go home early."

After Xia Beifeng said this, he took the lead in getting out of the car and stood by the stop sign waiting for Xu Tianyang.

Xu Tianyang and Zhao Xinning hadn't finished arguing yet, and when they said goodbye at the end, they also got a sentence from Zhao Xinning: "Hurry up and die, don't waste air here!" ”

He walked out of the car dejectedly, looked at Xia Beifeng, and sighed.

"Alas, girls now!" He shook his head, picked up a big bag he was carrying, and patted Xia Beifeng on the shoulder: "It's quite beautiful, but it's too rude, and her vision is so high, what kind of person is worthy of her." ”

"I don't think she's very ambitious." Xia Beifeng looked at the slowly moving bus, waved at Qu Yue, who poked his head out of the window, turned his head to look at Xu Tianyang, and smiled meaningfully: "I think that little Zhao girl seems to be a little interesting to you." ”

"No, you didn't see that she scolded me so fiercely, how could it be interesting to me!" He looked at Xia Beifeng in surprise, and after a while, he touched his chin and smirked: "Zhao Xinning, that girl definitely doesn't like me, if you say Qu Yue, it's almost ...... Hey. ”

"I think Qu Yue is really boring to you, Zhao Xinning is a kind of girl, it's quite normal to have that kind of reaction when she sees someone she likes." Xia Beifeng shook his head at Xu Tianyang, and said earnestly: "Young man, I still have too little experience, and if I know a few more girls, I will find the pattern." ”

"Oh......" Xu Tianyang clapped his hands suddenly and looked at Xia Beifeng: "So you are experienced." ”

"Of course, I'm ......" Xia Beifeng met Xu Tianyang's expectant eyes, smiled evilly, and changed the topic: "Speaking of which, how far we are to Wangjia Town, you know the road, right, hurry up and lead the way, and then stand here and chat for a while, when you get to the place to lie in bed, it may be tomorrow." ”

"Big brother, how can you do this!" Xu Tianyang lowered his head depressedly, lifted the bag on his shoulder, and walked forward: "I didn't finish my words halfway, and I deliberately hung people's appetites...... Walk this way, be careful with your step, there are quite a lot of stones on this road. ”

Xia Beifeng looked at Xu Tianyang's dejected back with a smile, whistled happily, and followed.

"Come on, Zhao Xinning's kind of girl ......" Xia Beifeng followed behind Xu Tianyang and said slowly: "The kind of girl who looks very spicy is generally very innocent in her heart, and she will blush and heartbeat for a long time when she pulls hands with the opposite sex, when she meets someone she likes......

Xia Beifeng stopped again in the middle of speaking, he looked at a stone the size of a millstone at his feet, and frowned slightly......

Xu Tianyang was looking at Xia Beifeng excitedly, with a glint of expectation in his eyes, like a puppy waiting for his master to throw bones.

He waited for a while, saw that there was no follow-up, and sighed again.

"Don't bring it like this, you can finish it all at once! What does it mean to keep half and half to keep it! “

"Oh, I just tripped over a rock, and I suddenly remembered something." Xia Beifeng came back to his senses and looked at Xu Tianyang: "What did you say?" ”

"Zhao Xinning! What will happen to her when she meets someone she likes? Xu Tianyang urged anxiously, and after a pause, he asked Xia Beifeng with concern: "I didn't twist my foot, this broken place is like this, there are a lot of stones, and you can twist your foot if you are not careful." I've been so tattered and full of stones since I can remember, I said I wanted to repair it more than ten years ago, and I didn't fix it here after repairing it a few times, and I stopped doing it halfway through, a bunch of moths! ”

"No, it's just a trip, you go yours." Xia Beifeng waved his hand at him, signaling that he was fine: "You should also be careful, look at the road under your feet...... Ah, I just said Zhao Xinning, right? ”

Xia Beifeng showed an unfathomable expression, and said slowly: "Listen, this is the life experience given to you by your predecessors. ”

Xu Tianyang immediately widened his eyes again, listening intently to Xia Beifeng's words.

"What about a girl like Zhao Xinning, when she likes someone, she will become very rude because she is not good at expressing her thoughts, in fact, it is to hide her nervousness, and she just wants to attract the attention of the other party. It's not me saying, such a girl who looks like she is so smiling, and it's definitely very cute when she's so gentle. Xia Beifeng breathed a sigh of relief, took out a can of beer from his bag, took a sip, and then educated Xu Tianyang: "On the contrary, it is a little girl like Qu Yue, who looks good-tempered and timid, and she doesn't dare to say it when she meets someone she likes, and she doesn't dare to say it when she meets someone she doesn't like, you see that she seems to be very polite to you, but she has been keeping a distance from you, which is a silent refusal." If you really like her, it might be a bit of a problem. ”

"It's a bit troublesome, but there is still a chance." Xu Tianyang glanced back at Xia Beifeng with a smile and asked sincerely, "Ask the master for advice." ”

"It's not a pointer, it's just a little advice." Xia Beifeng glanced back at the stone that was almost out of consequence, and said very casually: "It's good that you don't scare her, the little girl likes to be quiet at first glance, how can you be chattering next to her all day long." ”

"That's it! Taught. Xu Tianyang hugged Xia Beifeng: "But I'm a talker, what should I do?" ”

"Then change the target, she likes to be quiet, and if you can't be quiet, it means that the two of you are not suitable." Xia Beifeng took out his mobile phone as he spoke, turned on the flashlight to shine on the road ahead, poured all the remaining beer into his mouth in one go, and casually threw the beer can into the grass on the side of the road: "Anyway, isn't Zhao Xinning also very good?" You don't really think about it. ”

"Isn't this all about fun, maybe you can see it after you get out of the car, and it's a bit too far to say which one to choose." Xu Tianyang looked at the arc drawn in mid-air by the beer hall, and finally landed in the grass in the distance, "tsk" twice, stretched out his index finger and nodded at Xia Beifeng: "Littering, destroying the environment." ”

"Who knows about these barren mountains and mountains? It's okay to throw it around. Xia Beifeng didn't care about the stall hand, and hit Xu Tianyang's back with his shoulder: "What do you mean that there is no contact, didn't the little girl give you a WeChat signal?" ”

"Yes, yes, but I don't use my phone much...... Alas! ”

"Are there still people who don't use mobile phones much these days?" Xia Beifeng was surprised: "You use it more, do you really want to fight a bachelor for the rest of your life?" Let me tell you, the current little girl, one of the criteria for choosing a mate is WeChat QQ in seconds. ”

"Then I'm done, sometimes I can't find my daughter-in-law when my phone is turned off for half a month." Xu Tianyang took out his mobile phone as he spoke, touched the mobile phone screen lovingly, and sang in a sharp voice: "Brother phone, discuss something with you, can you become a good person yourself and help me reply to the cute little beauties, my lifelong happiness depends on you, okay?" ”

Xia Beifeng stared at him with interest and hummed for a while, then reached out and patted him on the shoulder, interrupting his "performance": "It's almost enough, once someone else on the road thinks it's haunted, the black light is blind, what if you come over and beat us up again." ”

"It's okay, I'm still okay with hitting a few people, if someone really treats me as a ghost, I'll beat him worse than a ghost!" Xu Tianyang put the phone back in his pocket and said with great interest: "Speaking of ghosts, the story I told in the car before hasn't been finished, right, that is, this - the haunted thing of Jijia Village." ”

"I'm not done." Xia Beifeng nodded: "Do you still want to continue?" Anyway, I don't have much to do on this road, so I'll just listen to it. ”

"I wasn't afraid of scaring those two little girls at that time, you see what kind of spiritual fire we saw in the car later, what kind of scare did they both become." Xu Tianyang lowered his head, dodged a raised stone, and said to Xia Beifeng with a slightly sideways face: "Be careful, this one has a big stone, don't trip again." Oh, by the way, it's actually a bit sinister, I've heard a lot of ghost stories about it since I was a kid......"

The two of them carried a large bag on their backs and walked slowly down the mountain, their voices gradually weakening.

The stone, which had been accompanied by the summer north wind, lay quietly in the grass, covered with large patches of weeds.

Beneath the weeds, two vague black regular scripts were faintly revealed.

"Matsuri Village."

***************************************************

"Speaking of this Jijia Village, there are really a lot of strange customs, it is said that the people in their village are all chattering, every household has a tablet for the ghost king at home, and there are no statues of Buddhas, Bodhisattvas and the like in the village." Xu Tianyang took advantage of the flashlight on Xia Beifeng's mobile phone, jumped over a small river, and looked back at Xia Beifeng: "Be careful, don't fall into the water...... Oh, by the way, one of the most memorable customs I heard when I was a kid was that if an unmarried girl died in a red shroud, she would wear a red shroud to the coffin. It is said that it was because they thought that the girl died before she got married, because she was taken by some ghost king, and she died early because the ghost king came to pick her up. And in the past, when those girls were buried, the coffins contained a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, which was considered a dowry. ”

"And this rule?" Xia Beifeng has not been very good-looking since he got out of the car, and after listening to Xu Tianyang's words at this time, he seemed to be even more worried: "Dead people wear red clothes, this is not good, how do I remember what I saw from there, saying that when people wear red clothes when they die, they will become evil ghosts." ”

"It seems like that's what is told in ghost stories, but that Jijia Village is really different from other places!" When Xu Tianyang said this, he suddenly looked around vigilantly, lowered his voice and said to Xia Beifeng behind him: "How do you feel that this kind of thing is really a bit infiltrating in the middle of the night, I suddenly felt a little cold just now, aren't you afraid when you listen to it?" ”

"Okay, a little." Xia Beifeng patted him on the back casually, and after feeling Xu Tianyang's body tense instantly, he immediately explained to him: "You just got a leaf on your clothes. ”

"Oh, you scared the hell out of me, I thought it was something!" Xu Tianyang breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and said angrily: "Don't start quietly, I was a little flustered, and I was almost scared to death by what you just did, you know?" ”

"It's my fault." Xia Beifeng smiled apologetically at him: "Why don't you talk about it, I'm afraid that if you look like this, you'll scare yourself before you get to the place." ”

Xu Tianyang let out an "um", lowered his head and looked intently at the road under his feet, and stopped talking.

Xia Beifeng raised the hand that had just touched Xu Tianyang's clothes in front of him, squinted his eyes and looked at his fingers for a while, and then put the tip of his index finger close to his nose and sniffed carefully.

A faint fishy smell came from his fingertips.

It smelled like spoiled meat, and it was disgusting.

But Xu Tianyang's back really didn't get anything from beginning to end.

What's going on?

Xia Beifeng looked at Xu Tianyang's back and fell into thought.

"Ah, let's keep talking." Xu Tianyang walked silently for a few minutes, but after all, he still couldn't hold back, and once again proposed to Xia Beifeng: "I feel even more uncertain when no one speaks, let's continue to talk." ”

"yes, okay." Xia Beifeng seemed to be frightened by his sudden voice, he nervously put down his hand, glanced at Xu Tianyang, and then gradually recovered his usual lazy expression, and said casually: "Okay, talk about something, you can say it." ”

"Anything, as long as you don't tell ghost stories." Xu Tianyang shrunk his neck, looked at the rustling shadows around him, and said with little confidence: "I'm usually bold, I don't know why I'm suddenly a little scared at this moment...... Believe me, I'm usually bold! ”

"I believe you, you are not small at first glance, it is all the fault that it is too dark." Xia Beifeng said with a little smile: "Then say something else, is there anything delicious in Wangjia Town?" ”

"Hey, you're right to ask me." Xu Tianyang's eyes lit up suddenly when he heard this, he excitedly sped up his speech, and began to tell Xia Beifeng about the food in his hometown: "There is a particularly fragrant stewed boiled restaurant in the town, and you can smell the fragrance from miles away when the store is opened every day; If you want to have breakfast, you must go to the breakfast stall of Lao Liu's house, their meat buns are full of meat, a big filling, a bite and the oil will flow down, I can eat five or six at a meal, it is in the morning market, I will take you tomorrow morning; There is also a noodle restaurant, not easy to find, in an alley, the owner is very good, and his daughter is also ...... Hey, don't talk about this, talk about food, Lao Liangtou comes out to sell wontons at night, is there no such thing in big cities now, we still have this, I have eaten the wontons he sells since I was a child, and a bowl of wontons in winter is so warm...... said I was hungry. ”

"You really love to eat." Xia Beifeng looked at him helplessly, took out a bag of biscuits from his bag and handed it to him: "Pad it, it should be almost there...... It's almost there. ”

"Come on, turn the corner ahead and you'll see the lights." Xu Tianyang took the biscuits, quickly tore open the packaging bag, grabbed a few biscuits and threw them in his mouth, and said vaguely: "How much food is in your bag, how can you take out the same and the same, the bottomless pit is still Taishang Laojun's Qiankun bag." ”

"It's not that exaggerated." Xia Beifeng said with a wry smile: "That biscuit just now is the last point, I was afraid that I might have to spend the night in the mountains to buy so much, but I just ate it all while chatting in the car, and I haven't eaten much myself." ”

"Spend the night in the mountains!" Xu Tianyang exclaimed: "Are you crazy?" Spend the night in this mountain! I don't even dare to spend the night alone in this mountain, okay? ”

"Any questions?" Xia Beifeng looked at him in confusion: "I have nothing to do, I often go out for self-driving trips, climbing, exploring, or whatever, and I have never done anything like spending the night in the mountains, so I can be regarded as experienced...... I don't think there are any big beasts or poisonous insects on this mountain. ”

"I don't know if there are those, but it's really not peaceful in this mountain. Although we are all atheists, this mountain is indeed a bit evil, no one dares to spend the night here, you better think more about your own life, don't think about spending the night in this mountain or anything. ”

"I didn't think it would be just in case, I thought I would have to wait until dawn if I couldn't find my way. Now that I've met you, I don't need to think about spending the night in the mountains. Xia Beifeng turned a corner behind Xu Tianyang, and sure enough, when he saw the light he said before, he stretched lazily, yawned and said: "It's finally coming, I feel sleepy when I see the place, hurry up and go down and find a place to sleep." ”

"It's almost there, if you see the light, you will fall after walking for five minutes, you turn off the flashlight." Xu Tianyang glanced back at Xia Beifeng's mobile phone and said proudly: "Thank you for helping you lead the way." ”

"Uh-huh." Xia Beifeng nodded and said very perfunctorily: "Thank you, Xu Daxia." ”

"I don't think you're sincere at all." Xu Tianyang muttered quietly, quickened his pace and ran down the mountain, shouting loudly: "Bed! I'm coming! ”

The bits and pieces of light were exceptionally bright in the thick night, as if a few bright diamonds were sprinkled on the black velvet, and it was so beautiful that it was dazzling.

"Slow down, be careful of falling!" Xia Beifeng shouted at Xu Tianyang, who ran out of a distance: "Don't go home and your face is covered with blood, what should you do when people treat you as a ghost?" ”

As he spoke, he also followed Xu Tianyang and quickened his pace.

When they saw the stone tablet engraved with the words "Wangjiazhen", both of them felt relieved.

Xu Tianyang ran to the town for a while, then remembered this, turned back to Xia Beifeng and said: "I'll go home first, Brother Xia, you can find a hotel by yourself, if you have enough money, you can go there to live in a hotel, the environment is very good, there is everything, I heard that it is four-star." ”

A four-week hotel in such a small town? Does anyone live? I'm not afraid of losing my life.

Xia Beifeng thought in surprise, looked up at Xu Tianyang and said "four-star hotel".

It doesn't look bad from the outside, but whether it's a four-star or not, let's go live first.

Thinking like this, he slowly walked towards the "four-star hotel".

When he was about to walk downstairs to the "four-star hotel", he heard a "buzzing" vibration sound from the mobile phone he was keeping close to him.

He reached for his phone and glanced down.

Behind the text message he sent a large photo of "phosphorus fire" in the past, there was an unread message from Shen Luotian.

"Of course this is not a phosphorus fire, you still have a human face on the phosphorus fire! It's a bunch of fucking ghosts, a bunch of ghosts! (To be continued.) )
