Chapter 16: Ghost Manor
Both sides have reached an impasse, Zhang Fang and Tang Song will definitely not agree to the taxi driver leaving halfway, this cold and snowy place in the middle of the night, and in a secluded suburb, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be any accidents, not to mention whether they encounter strange things, even if they meet, it is difficult to deal with them in such a bad environment. But in the same way, young people will never take any more risks, even if the fare is unsuccessful, they cannot lose their lives, so they have to admit it.
"Well, thank you so much." But in the embarrassing atmosphere, the woman Sun Ya suddenly opened the car door and said, and took out a few hundred-yuan bills from her long skirt bag and handed them to the young driver, and said gratefully: "Pay attention to safety on the way back, thank you so much." ”
In the secluded and desolate snow, the crimson taillights are about to leave, and the roar of the engine can be heard in the distance, dissipating in the cold current. Sun Ya explained: "He won't go over anyway, just like the middle-aged driver before." With that, she turned to look into the darkness deep in. Right in front, Mon Lan Avenue is in front and we're almost there. ”
"Hey, okay." Tang Song sighed, bent over from the black box, took out a flashlight, and soon, a beam of light was reflected in the lonely cold and snowy night. "Luckily, I was prepared."
The three people in the wilderness, in the extremely cold night full of snow, paced forward, tonight's night sky, destined to have no stars. In the panicked environment of death, Sun Ya wrapped her coat and continued to reminisce.
[That strange dream, I was there, in an endless clearing, only the darkness foiled, I walked aimlessly, I didn't know where to go, strangely, I found that I couldn't stop at all. In the depths of the dream, there was an indescribable depression, as if those legs did not belong to me, but they grew under my waist, and with each step it took, the more confused I became. It was strange to say, I seemed to know that I was dreaming, that I was in an ethereal space, and that I had even gone out of my body more than once, and found myself still sleeping peacefully in the back seat of the car, and the middle-aged man in the front seat was still engrossed in driving the car, and the bleak picture outside the window was gradually progressing.
Out-of-body, yes, you must think I'm crazy when I use such a word, but I can't find a more plausible word that explains this weird feeling. Later, I found that even though my brain was clear and able to see my surroundings, I still couldn't wake up. I desperately wanted to wake up, as if there was an abyss ahead of me, and I would only be crushed if I fell, or that there was a huge swamp ahead of me, and I would be buried alive for it. In short, I was terrified, looking at myself unconscious in the back seat, cold sweat seeping through my hair, my expression of pain distorted on my face, I tore open my throat and roared, but there was not a single sound coming out of my throat.
I had never seen this frightening battle since, until the middle-aged man woke me up, and I gasped violently, as if I had survived a plague, and realized that it was just a nightmare. "I'm sorry, classmate, there is Menglan Avenue in front, I can only send you here." It was the first voice I heard when I woke up.
Even though I repeatedly asked or proposed to double the fare, he didn't agree, so I had no choice but to drag my luggage and get out of the car. He looked at me from the car window, wanting to speak and stopped, as if he had a lot of words, with a gloomy look on his face, and finally sighed: "Classmate, you ...... Stay safe. Then he turned the car around, and in a moment it disappeared into the wilderness.
Today's weather was a bit overcast, and the cold air quickly penetrated my coat, and I wondered if it was going to get colder in the future, so I should bring a down coat or two. But the taxi that has disappeared is probably not coming back. Menglan Avenue, I muttered in my heart, dragging my luggage step by step. There were no signs on either side of the road, and the dead leaves after late autumn had piled up in the ditches and overflowed. I don't think anyone has walked here, and if I weren't standing here at this moment, I wouldn't believe it.
Oh my God, how did I forget to copy the phone number. Tapping my forehead, I was extremely depressed, because I was so excited that I didn't even record the basic relevant information and contact information. I really wondered if it was a dream, and the nightmare from the car was still haunting my thoughts, leaving me in the dark. Rushing...... Rushing...... In a deserted garden, only the pulley of my suitcase was rolling, and my riding boots, which were only three centimeters high, and the heel of the hard resin, clang......
Hey, there's going to be someone in this place. As time went on, I had been walking in this no-man's land for nearly twenty minutes, with no purpose in front and no one behind, and my impatience made me extremely impatient. Could it be someone else's prank? Oh my God, it must be like this, I knew that there would be no pie in the sky, half a month's nursing work, and a salary of up to 50,000! They must have been tricked. I paused, remembering the smiling faces in my dorm room, and saying bad things about me behind my back, and I suspected that I had fallen for one of them.
Phew, Phew, Phew! Sun Ya, Sun Ya, why can't you turn your brain, you still can't understand such an obvious scam, you really deserve to be unlucky. At this moment, I can only complain to myself to vent my hatred. I took out my phone from my satchel and tried to call Yang Peng, and in the moment of emotional loss, the only person I thought of was him. Oh, no! I was amazed, there was no signal on the mobile phone, how could there be a signal in a place where birds don't! I really wanted to slap myself, but now I want to cry without tears.
But just when I was confused and anxious, a castle in the distance attracted me! Castle, this may be an exaggeration, but I would like to say that this is the first time I have seen such a vast and splendid manor house. is like the Nanyuan Mansion in "Tanglin Family", which represents a symbol of noble status. Across the dense forest, I could only see a small part, no wonder I hadn't noticed it before, and it suddenly appeared in front of my eyes, giving me hope.
("Tanglin Family": A TV series about the grievances of wealthy families, Nanyuan is a small town on Qinhuangdao in the story, and the Nanyuan Mansion refers to the town.) A mansion is a small town. )
Dragging my suitcase, I walked briskly towards it, and my legs and feet were so excited that I almost tripped over something, but there was nothing but dead leaves on the desolate path. I see, no wonder the remuneration will be so rich, this big family must be extraordinary, deliberately away from the hustle and bustle of the city, come here to enjoy this beautiful pastoral castle life. I sighed, I was already in it.
The lonely fort gradually spread in my eyes, even the front yard was probably the size of a school playground, and I saw a white car parked outside a flower bed, without a license plate number, and the color was so dazzling that I didn't dare to look at it directly. I lifted the box and lowered my pace, afraid that the noise would disturb the wealthy family. However, I was very puzzled that such a magnificent manor castle must have been inhabited by many people, the owner of the castle, the owner's family, the relatives of the family...... But it was eerily quiet, so quiet that there was not even the sound of a breeze blowing through the dead branches, so quiet that only my faint gasp remained. (To be continued.) )
