Chapter 6 The Lost City Chapter 2 The Mountain Rain is Coming
Chapter 2 The mountain rain is coming
Natsu-chan is creepy!
Especially the presence of foreign objects at the back of her head, that is, from the position of the bedside lamp, made her no longer able to shrink into the quilt and pretend to sleep, so she turned over and sat up, and quickly rushed over and turned on the bedside lamp in front of her.
The warm yellow light lit up instantly, sweeping a dim semicircle through the room, but only illuminating most of the room, and the bathroom door was still in darkness.
Xiao Xia's eyes widened, trying to see through the darkness, for fear that something would happen there. However, as if she had a feeling, another 'coo' sound sounded in a panic!
Almost as a reflex, Xiao Xia rushed over to turn on the bedside lamp on the other side, completely forgetting that the feeling that made her scalp tingle just now came from that side!
Her movements were hurried and chaotic, and her palm touched the bottom of the porcelain table lamp, but before she could touch the switch, there was a hot feeling coming! She subconsciously withdrew her hand, but she didn't expect her hand to be glued to the porcelain seat, and even the table lamp was dragged back to the bed under the tear!
"Help me, it's so hot!" The lamp emitted a man's cry.
Xiao Xia screamed 'ah', jumped out of bed with a rolling belt, couldn't care about anything, and rushed directly to the bathroom - Ah Bai was there, she was a great Ya Ban when she was alive, there must be a way!
As she reached the bathroom door, she saw a vase lying on the floor, struggling to 'crawl' up, like a turtle flipping over its shell!
Goo Dong Goo Dong -
The vase struggled twice more and finally 'stood up'!
This vase is an ornament placed on the table in the room, the snow-white bottle faintly reveals a light red pattern, extremely beautiful, Xiao Xia loves its simplicity in the gorgeous, and once played with it for a while before going to bed, and at this moment this should be an inanimate object is standing on the ground like a ghost, looking up at her, the mouth of the black hole hole bottle emitted an intermittent whimper!
Xiao Xia was completely shocked, and stood at the door of the bathroom unable to move, until a voice called her in the bathroom, which made her realize that it was Ah Bai in a panic, and hurriedly broke in!
The silver bracelet was placed on the dresser, exuding a little silver light, and it was indeed Ah Bai calling her!
She rushed over to pick up the bracelet, and when its cool texture rippled in the palm of her hand, she felt that the burning sensation that had been lingering gradually disappeared. She tried to untie the twisted filament with sealing power, but the more anxious and flustered she was, the more she couldn't untie it! And outside the door, there was a constant sound of footsteps and the sound of the door opening!
This startled Xiao Xia, thinking that the bathroom door was opened, and with a force on his hand, the twist filament was torn off!
"What's going on? I hear you scream! Ah Bai asked with concern, "Look at you, your face is full of sweat!" β
"Don't you feel it?" Xiao Xia looked at the bathroom door, which was still closed well. Now that Ah Bai is with her, she feels much safer, but she is surprised that Ah Bai has no sense of such a strange thing outside, "The vase - the vase and the lamp are alive, and they keep saying that it is hot, and they want me to save it, and they cry like a man!" β
Seeing that Xiao Xia's face was white and her body was trembling, Ah Bai hurriedly passed through the wall, and Xiao Xia opened the bathroom door and went out closely. But the situation in the room made them look at each otherβthere was nothing unusual, the white vase was still on the table, and the lamp was perfectly normal.
"Just nowβ"
"Shhhhhhh
"How?" Xiao Xia asked anxiously.
"It's normal, no ghosts!"
"But I-am I having a nightmare?" Xiao Xia rubbed to the side of the bed in disbelief, and had the courage to touch the lamp very quickly, feeling slightly cool, without the slightest feeling of warmth, let alone the heat.
She looked at her hand, and although it had been too real just now, now that she was facing the facts in front of her, she began to wonder if she was dreaming or being frightened.
And just when she thought she was making a joke and lying about the military situation, Ah Bai sniffed, "This room smells of people, someone has come in!" But don't be afraid, it's just the two of us now. β
"So you just got into the thief? Is the footsteps I heardβ"
"I don't know, but I don't think it was a hallucination or a nightmare that scared you just now, maybe someone pretended to be a ghost and deliberately scared you. Or maybe there are really weird things that leave as soon as you enter the bathroom! β
Xiao Xia didn't say anything for a while, because Ah Bai's conclusion was a bit unexpected for her. After thinking for a while, she grabbed the clothes on the bed, "If it's a ghost, you can solve it; If it's a person, I'll go to the shopkeeper. I remember that he has always had a weird attitude towards me today, maybe the problem is with him! β
"Don't be impulsive!" Ah Bai stopped Xiao Xia, who was dressed indiscriminately, "It's so late now, and we have no evidence, how can we bother others, if you make a mistake, isn't it rude?" In this way, everything is safe now, you sleep a little longer, and I will protect you. Tomorrow morning, you go and test the shopkeeper, and then we come back from the village to think about what to do. β
Xiao Xia thought for a moment, "It's okay, you shouldn't startle the snake." If you come out, they will run away in fright, and it probably won't be very powerful, it's a dark shop! Alas, I can't change my reckless personality! β
"But someone just loves your rampage!" Ah Bai smiled and made a joke.
Xiao Xia didn't reply, but she felt a sense of accomplishment in her heart. Ah Bai Cai was very restrained and shy when she came back with her, but now she is much happier and more relaxed, if it weren't for her bent thinking about finding Sima Nan, Ruan Zhan said that human beings should not be with spirit bodies, she really wants to be friends with Ah Bai forever!
After that, she and Ah Bai studied the matter of testing the shopkeeper tomorrow, and then went back to bed and continued to sleep, but once they calmed down, they remembered what had just happened. With Ah Bai here, she was not afraid, but she was curious.
What's going on? If it's a ghost, it's nothing, or out of malicious intimidation, or if you ask her for help, there will be no other explanation. It's strange if it's a person, and it's also a shopkeeper. She didn't bring any money or expensive jewelry, and it didn't make sense to say that she was trying to kill her life; She had never been to this place in her life, and of course there was no grudge, let alone a vendetta; If it was for her beauty, she believed that she was not that beautiful, and besides, she believed in her feelings, and the shopkeeper was by no means interested in her.
Could he have any grievances to ask her for help? But what kind of grievance should take such a terrible and annoying way as scaring people?!
She tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, and only squinted again at dawn, but for a short time she had another strange dream, but when she woke up she had completely forgotten it, and only vaguely remembered that she was walking in an empty town.
What's even more strange is that when I looked for the shopkeeper in the morning, he was not there, and it was said that he went out at dawn to run errands.
Is this too much of a coincidence, or is he hiding from himself at all?
Xiao Xia wanted to dig deeper, but a large group of people drove three cars and waited for her to go to the countryside to carry out law popularization propaganda, so she had to give up this plan first, and hurriedly resealed Ah Bai in the bracelet and left.
This day was extremely difficult, not only was the unrepaired road extremely bumpy, which almost made her vomit everything she ate last night, but what made her almost vomit was the work situation of this day.
There are no other three places like them!
This made her secretly swear in her heart that even if she walked with her legs tomorrow, she would go to the next village by herself and never be with these people again!
It wasn't until dusk that the group left in a big way, and the dust raised behind the rear of the car was the only thing left for the day. I don't know if it's because God feels disgusting, but just over halfway back to the country, the sky suddenly changed. The clear summer dusk suddenly became overcast, and the wind was fierce, and it felt like a dark cloud was pressing down, and three cars and fifteen people were pressed to death on the mountain road.
This made Xiao Xia a little inexplicably uneasy, and Mao Fu said on the side, "It's really a mountain rain that is about to come and the wind is full of buildings, and only then can you experience the desolation and impermanence of life." β
Xiao Xia didn't want to pay attention to the fake bookbag that Deputy Mayor Mao dropped his fake book bag, but when he thought that he was currently on the ground of other people, it was not good to offend people too much. These remote places have a weak sense of law, and individual unreasonable officials are the same as the emperor, if there is really anything unfavorable to herself, she will have no place to cry! So she casually squeezed out a smile and coped with a few sentences.
Maybe it was because Xiao Xia's nervousness and compliments made Mao Fu very happy, and he began to comfort Xiao Xia, "Don't worry, the climate in the mountains is like this, it rains for a while and it is sunny for a while, and the sky changes faster than a woman's face!" Haha, of course it's not a well-read and beautiful woman like Miss Yue, right, Xiao Liu? He patted the driver sitting in the front.
Driver Liu nodded hurriedly, but before he could say a few words, he heard a 'crunch', and the whole car swooped forward, and the car stopped suddenly!
"What's wrong, Xiao Liu?" Mao Fu was laughing proudly just now, he didn't expect this situation at all, and his broad and shiny forehead hit the front seat, very annoyed.
"I just saw a guy running to the front of the car! Strange, the man ran so fast that he disappeared in a flash! In the rearview mirror, Driver Liu's pale face was reflected, obviously frightened enough.
"This section is a mountain road, and there are people in the barren mountains and mountains! It must be you dazzled! Mao Fu reprimanded again.
Driver Liu muttered a few words resignedly, but he didn't dare to refute, but he looked like that because he was convinced of his eyesight.
"Let's drive, Mayor Mao is right, you must be dazzled! Why didn't I see anything! "Sitting in the co-pilot was Zhao Jiayuan, who took the opportunity to look at the bracelet yesterday and tried to mess with Xiao Xia Mao. It seems that he is Mao Fu's descendant, so he has been following before and after the saddle, but because Xiao Xia has obvious bad feelings towards him, he has not spoken.
"Look at you stupid, the brakes are so sharp, look, they are all off!" He scolded with a laugh.
Driver Liu didn't say anything more and began to fire again, but after a long time, the car just couldn't start!
"What's wrong?" Mao Fu is a little irritable.
"Flameout." Driver Liu replied.
"Nonsense, I know, but why can't I drive it?"
"I-don't know, I'll go down and have a look." Driver Liu said and opened the car door and got out of the car.
Xiao Xia didn't want to stay alone in the car with these two people, so she followed. As soon as I went there, I noticed that the sky was darker, and the mountain wind, which had become smaller, had brought some moisture.
"Otherwise, let Xiao Liu repair the car alone, let's go back to the town with the car behind first, I see this day-" I don't know when Zhao Jiayuan also got out of the car, and suggested to Mao Fu, who was still sitting in the car, "This rain is not small, this road has not been repaired, the dirt road is slippery, it is too unsafe." β
Of the three, they were the first to go, and they pulled away for some distance, and the last two cars followed.
"It's fine." Mao Fu climbed out of the carriage a little annoyed, and immediately changed his smiling face to Xiao Xia, "I'm sorry, Miss Yue, the town's finances have fully supported the construction of a new town, and the car is not very good." No, it's just a brake, and it's completely dead, and it's lying down. I hope Miss Yue doesn't mind, it's rude to squeeze the two cars behind us with us, I'm ashamed! β
Xiao Xia didn't want to squeeze with them, but this gloomy weather was about to swallow people, so she couldn't help but be a little scared, so she had to nod!
However, things were not so easy to solve, and when they got to the next two cars, they learned that they were also dead and could no longer start the car.
These two cars stopped normally and did not brake urgently, why did they also die?!
". Evil Door! "I don't know who said it.
For a moment, the scene was extremely quiet, no one spoke, only the mountain wind rustled the trees on both sides of the mountain road. Xiao Xia looked up, but found that several people were blue-faced, as if they were a little afraid.
"What should I do?" Zhao Jiayuan broke the silence and asked Mao Fu.
Mao Fu hesitated for a moment, as if it was difficult to make a decision, but finally spoke, "It's possible to go back to the village now, but it's not far from the town, otherwise let's go back." β
"I'm afraid it's going to rain heavily, this damn weather!" A journalist from the province said.
This comrade reporter from the province may not know that looking at the weather, it is not easy to stop when it rains, and when it gets dark, the mountain roads are slippery, and driving is even more dangerous. And from here to take the path back, there are only more than three miles of mountain roads, and if you walk fast, it will take you almost an hour to arrive. I'm familiar with the area, and I have some rain gear and lighting on board to cope with it for a while. Of course, Zhao Jiayuan fully supports Mao Fu.
As soon as he said this, the scene was chaotic, and there was all kinds of nonsense.
"I think so, everyone votes democratically, the weather waits for no one, everyone decides to act early!" Mao Fu waved his hand as if decisively, "If you agree to leave on foot immediately, please stand on my side." β
In fact, people in these remote towns are more superstitious, and it is already very unexpected to see the sudden change in the weather, coupled with the fact that the car that is usually well maintained suddenly broke down in the middle of the road, and the driver Liu said conclusively that he saw something running in front of the car, and everyone wanted to leave this place as soon as possible without the village and the store, but they were afraid that the heavy rain would hit and the mountain road would be more difficult and dangerous.
At this moment, the vote was held, and the people in the town were unwilling to go against Mao Fu, and the reporters and Xiao Xia in the province did not know the specific situation, so they unanimously approved the plan to walk back to the town. And as soon as the decision was made, the group immediately took action, leaving only three drivers to stay and watch the car.
After walking for more than half an hour, a group of 12 people came to a fork in the road, to the left is still a mountain road, to the right but the terrain is flat, from a distance it seems to be the newly built town, and after walking through a dry ditch is the asphalt road.
"Let's walk through this new town!" Xiao Xia proposed, "The road here has been repaired, so it should be relatively close." β
"No way!" Mao Fu and Zhao Jiayuan refused loudly in unison! The fierceness and resoluteness of his tone startled Xiao Xia!
