Chapter 10: A Night for Two
The sky suddenly darkened, just arrived in the village only a few days, unlucky and injured, this is really not an auspicious place, Xia Rui thought in her heart while starting to sort out the information for the progress of the cultural relics, and at this moment the whole room suddenly darkened, and the laptop immediately became dark because it was not charged.
Xia Rui stomped her feet angrily, "It's hard to write so much, and there is a power outage, what kind of village is this, there will be a power outage at every turn," Xia Rui said a few words in her mouth, closed the computer and put it back on the table.
Looking outside, the night sky in the village was flickering with stars, and the lights in the village made Xia Rui puzzled for a while, Xia Rui immediately understood something, looked at her room helplessly, and shook her head, "No, everyone else seems to have electricity, am I a little unlucky?" ”
Xia Rui carefully groped for the wall and walked slowly down the ancient staircase, the dark corridor could no longer see what was in front of her, and a cold breath was suddenly felt in the silent air.
"Third aunt, third aunt," Xia Rui's heart was a little scared, and she began to keep calling out to the third aunt, "Ouch, I said little girl, be careful, don't walk around without lights this night, what if you fall," a dim light flashed from the kitchen and walked towards Xia Rui, the third aunt lit the remaining candles in the kitchen, and looked at this woman with the light of the candles but had a strange feeling, Xia Rui's heart was cautious, and the corners of her eyes jumped a few times, and the middle-aged woman in front of her was like Meng Po in the underworld.
"Third aunt, there is a power outage at home, but I don't know if the information I wrote is saved, can you take me to the house next door to charge the computer?" Xia Rui tried to get the chopsticks out of that weird feeling, and continued to ask the third aunt.
"Oh, well! Come and follow me, not far from here is Ah Yuan's house, just go to his house to recharge," the third aunt walked in front with a candle, and walked towards Li Guoyuan's house with Xia Rui, the streets were empty at night, and the dogs in the villagers' homes suddenly barked, Xia Rui was frightened by the sudden barking, and walked slowly behind the third aunt.
After dinner, I sat alone in the hall, thinking about the case and gradually becoming engrossed, and there were bursts of shouts from outside the door, "Ah Yuan, is Ah Yuan there?" "Coming back to my senses, I got up and walked towards the door." Ah Yuan, hehe, it feels quite cute to call me like this," This is the first thing Xia Rui said when she saw me, looking at the third aunt who was snickering on the side, I made a look and signaled that the third aunt was not allowed to call me like this in front of outsiders.
The third aunt deliberately avoided my eyes, and the expression that I didn't see was all there, "Ah Yuan, the electricity at the third aunt's house suddenly tripped, Miss Xia wants to power off at your house, you can help her," the third aunt continued to call my nickname, and I suddenly felt a burst of heat on my face, and the whole person looked more and more embarrassed, and my face turned red unconsciously.
"Okay, Sangu, go back first, I'll find someone to help you fix the electricity tomorrow, maybe the master has already fallen asleep when it's too late, I'll send Miss Xia back later," I was embarrassed to take Sangu away first, lest she make fun of me again.
"Hehe, Xiao Ayuan seems to be blushing," looking at me who was a little unnatural, Xia Rui pointed and said, "No, no, let's go, there is a place to charge in the hall, come in with me," I pulled away the topic and led Xia Rui into the house. "Ah Yuan, who is this?" My mother looked at Xia Rui beside me and asked curiously. "Oh, this is Xia Rui Xia who came to the village to inspect the cultural relics, and she wants to charge the computer in our house," I introduced Xia Rui to my mother.
"This little girl is really good, come and sit at home, Auntie will help you get some drinks," the mother immediately ran to the kitchen without saying a word, and many thoughts suddenly popped up in her heart, "That, Auntie doesn't need it," Xia Rui didn't finish speaking, and her mother had already left.
"Well, you just sit here and use it, I'll send you back later," "Okay, thank you Xiao Ayuan," Xia Rui unceremoniously touched my head, and then turned on the computer she had brought away, I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional, and I still didn't escape from her palm in the process of dodging......
After connecting the power supply, Xia Rui skillfully kept typing on the computer, and the technique of hitting the keyboard was smooth in one go, and I, a half-person, couldn't help but admire her, and I didn't turn my head to look at Xia Rui's work seriously.
"Ah Yuan, tell me if you don't know how to use a computer," Xia Rui asked me with slanted eyes, with a hint of teasing in her eyes, "That, I used to learn a little when I was in school, but I don't think I know much about the trouble," I looked at Xia Rui embarrassed, a little embarrassed to tell the truth.
Xia Rui continued to joke and press me step by step, "Really? It seems that you don't know how to do it, do you want Miss Ben to teach you how to use a computer," Xia Rui stretched out her hand, with an expression like a man flirting with a girl from a good family in ancient times, although she put on a sinister expression, but it was still so beautiful and moving in my eyes. Looking at Xia Rui, who was approaching step by step, I began to seem a little overwhelmed, and my body took a few steps back from time to time.
"That, no need, I'd better not disturb your work, it's better for you to work seriously when it's not too early," I slowly shifted the topic to another place, remembering any of my Xia Rui and had no intention of joking anymore, so I turned around and continued to work seriously.
While Xia Rui was working, her mother brought her own chrysanthemum tea, "Girl, come and drink a cup to cool down the heat, although it is already evening, but the weather in the village is still a little hot," the mother seemed to be very enthusiastic about Xia Rui, and came to see it from time to time, and the corners of her mouth could not hide her smile.
"Thank you, Auntie, Ah Yuan, your mother is so good," Xia Rui squeezed her eyebrows at me in thanks, making me blush for a while, "Hahu, Nuo is finally written, Miss Ben is amazing!" Ah Yuan" Xia Rui looked at me and shouted mischievously, with a smug smile on her lips. "You still call me Officer Li, so you will get used to it," I don't know if it's the beginning of love, my voice has become much quieter at this time, looking at the girl in front of me as if she is like a fairy in the sky, I can't forget it for a long time.
"Don't do that! You see how nice it sounds to be called Ah Yuan, and you have a lot of meat, boys don't care about it like this! Xia Rui continued to tease Li Guoyuan, "I'm in a good mood today, Ah Yuan will accompany me to see the night scene," Xia Rui took my hand and walked outside, the feeling of being held by her made my head blank in an instant, so I had to let her walk out of the room, sitting in front of the courtyard Xia Rui began to watch the beautiful starry sky, this night is so wonderful and so inseparable.
"Ah Yuan, there seems to be an atmosphere in your village that makes me very uneasy, do you feel it?" Xia Rui looked at me with a very serious expression, "It's okay, just something happened in the village, and no one in the village came out for a walk," It seems that Xia Rui also felt the unusual atmosphere of the village.
Ever since the incident with Ergou, the village has been in an atmosphere of fear. "It's because it's haunted, I've heard the third aunt mention it," Xia Rui asked me tentatively, "I don't know, it's just that the old people in the village have been passing it on." ”
"Ah Yuan, do you think there are really ghosts in this world? If there are ghosts, will there be gods too? "I don't know, maybe there really is!"
"Hehe, Ah Yuan, you seem to be quite stupid, where did the ghost come from in this world? Yawned," "Well, you put off my coat first, otherwise you will be sick when the evening breeze blows," "Ah Yuan is good, he is quite good at taking care of people, tell me honestly if you like me!" "Ah, don't get me wrong."" Hehe, I'm kidding you! ”
In this way, they spent a happy night, talking and laughing, the night seemed to be forever indispensable to the existence of evil, not far away in the dark corner was a pair of stinging eyes watching the two of them, a ghostly sneer came out in the shadows, and in a short time disappeared in the original place.
