Chapter Twenty-Three Disappears Out of Thin Air

It seemed that Hong Yan was really worried about the missing photographer, and immediately took Wu Ling'er and them to the west courtyard. Brother Ying sighed and followed, while Xiaohua and Mung Bean followed suit. The second uncle, who found this, had no choice but to follow.

When she came to the West Courtyard and stopped in front of the photographer's room, Wu Ling'er found that the door was broken: "What's going on with this door?" ”

Hong Yan said: "There was a shooting task this morning, I came to call Brother Liao as usual, and no one responded for a long time, I thought he went out, but it turned out that the courtyard door was closed from the inside, which means that no one went out, I immediately went to the bath, the toilet to find Mr. Liao, and I didn't find his shadow, so I woke everyone up, but everyone said they didn't know, and we had no choice but to open the door." ”

Hong Yan shook his head: "Brother Liao doesn't like people to touch his room, so after finding out that he was gone, we didn't dare to move." Just when we came in, we noticed that the window was open, so we went to the window and took a look! ”

Looking in the direction pointed by Hong Yan, everyone saw two open windows. Wu Ling'er and the others also walked to the window together, and sure enough, as Hong Yan said, there was a row of footprints under the window, which seemed to be someone turning out from here and then walking out.

Hong Yan pointed to the window and said, "At that time, we found that a sachet fell under the windowsill, and the color was the color of the sachet that Brother Liao usually carried. I also asked everyone later, and everyone said that their sachets were still on their bodies and had not fallen off, so they ......"

After listening to Hong Yan's words, Luo Zhili looked at the surrounding environment and said, "Although it is winter, the mountain is cold at night, and the ground will be relatively wet, so you have left footprints here?" Let's go out and see the footprints first! ”

"Hmm!" Wu Ling'er always felt a little strange when she looked at the footprints, but she couldn't say where the fault was, so she left the room with everyone.

When I came outside, I found that the footprints followed the window to the paddy field not far away, because it was a paddy field, even if there were no crops now, the ground was very wet, and there were even shallow places with some stagnant water. The shoe prints appear very clearly in the paddy field, and then disappear in the middle of the paddy field out of thin air.

Wu Ling'er helped Brother Ying and tried to step on the paddy field, and the whole shoe immediately sank down, and she was so frightened that she quickly withdrew her foot: "Can you walk in ordinary shoes like this?" ”。

"When Mr. Liao came to the yard yesterday, he was wearing off-road boots, and the boots won't fall off when he walks here!" Brother Ying looked at the ground and said, "But, if you go back to the room, won't you have cloth shoes to change?" You only wear those bulky boots when you go out, right? Who would wear those kind of boots when they go out in the middle of the night? ”

Xiaohua asked, "Could it be that he didn't change his shoes at all?" So you went out in your dirt boots? ”

"Impossible! Xiaohua, don't forget, some people said that they saw him go to take a bath. It's weird to go to the shower in those kind of boots, right? Usually when we take a bath, don't we all have to change our shoes? For example, this morning, after I ran to the bath in my cloth shoes, I found that my shoes would get wet, so I ran back to my room and changed my slippers before going to the bath. Wu Ling'er looked at the shoe prints in the paddy field and said, "I don't know why, I always feel a little strange!" But what's the strangeness, I can't figure it out! ”

Luo Zhili looked at the shoe prints and said, "It's the reason for the shoe prints, right?" If it weren't for some special reason, when our feet got stuck in such mud, we wouldn't have gone any further, but...... The spacing between his shoes here is almost the same as when he was on it, as if the mud of this paddy field had no effect on him at all. ”

Wu Ling'er tilted her head a little troubledly: "Maybe, I always feel that something is not right!" ”

Xiaohua looked around and said, "It's strange! ”

"What's wrong?"

"There's a strange smell of plants in the air!" Xiaohua scratched her head and said, "It turned out to be the smell of a plant that I am not familiar with!" I think I've smelled it once before! ”

When Xiaohua said this, it made Wu Ling'er feel strange: "How is it possible? How can there be small flowers here that you are not familiar with? "Xiaohua is the king of flowers in the Oriental Continent, how can she not be familiar with the plants of the East?

Brother Ying patted Wu Ling'er's head and signaled her to be quiet before saying, "It's not impossible, Xiaohua is very familiar with Chinese plants, it doesn't mean that she is familiar with plants all over the world!" Now that many exotic plants have entered China, it is normal for small flowers to not understand! Speaking of this, Brother Ying looked at his second uncle: "In the village, has anyone brought any new plants in?" ”。

The second uncle thought about it and said, "When the third brother came back this time, he brought me a potted plant, which is very beautiful. It's said that when you spend Christmas in a foreign country, everyone will buy it, huh...... It seems to say that it is auspicious to put it at home! It looks a bit like the verbena we said, but the smell is a little different! ”

"Verbena?" As soon as Verbena was mentioned, Wu Ling'er immediately thought of something in that small town in France, and she held Brother Ying's hand a little nervously: "It can't be that kind of thing, right?" ”

In contrast, Xiaohua was much calmer, and he said to the second uncle, "Can you please take me to have a look?" ”。

Although he didn't understand the difference between this plant and the current matter, the second uncle didn't expect Wu Ling'er to solve the matter, so he turned around and took them back to the house, and after a while, the second uncle took out a small pot of plants from the room, and after seeing this potted plant, Xiaohua's face changed slightly: "That's the smell!" Is this the only potted plant in the village? ”。

The second uncle nodded: "Only this pot!" Xiaohua carefully examined the pot of verbena and found that there was no damage: "Strange, where did the smell come from?" ”

"Is this important?". The second uncle asked Xiaohua strangely. It can be seen that the floret is very ...... to this potted plant Care about?!

Wu Ling'er understood why she came back when she saw Xiaohua's face, and she stroked her forehead with a headache: "Luo Chaocang, who did you hear say that this potted plant is very auspicious to put at home?" ”

"Uh...... A friend of mine gave it to me and he said this was good! So I thought about bringing it back to my dad, what's wrong? Is there a problem? ”。 Luo Chaocang looked at Wu Ling'er and Xiaohua's expressions, and seemed to have guessed that something bad was happening.

Wu Ling'er sighed and sat in her chair: "This thing, in the West, belongs to pagans, and it is definitely not something that a Christian should have in his home, let alone appear on Christian Christmas." This kind of thing...... Add meadowsweet and mint to the mix, and you might be able to summon the evil gods of the West! And it's the kind of evil god who eats people like food! Of course......" After seeing that the faces of the people in Luojia Village had changed, Wu Ling'er smiled: "It's just that this kind of person shouldn't be able to attract the evil gods over, and their haunts are also seasonal!" They've finished this year's stalls, and if you want to see them, you'll have to meet them next year! ”

"Ling'er, this joke isn't funny at all!" Zhu Qian punched Wu Ling'er hard after a cold war all over her body: "At this time, please don't make up ghost stories to scare people!" ”

"Make up ghost stories?" Thinking of what happened to her in France, Wu Ling'er smiled bitterly: "If you have experienced it yourself, you know that this kind of story does not need to be made up!" I, Gizwa, Coffee, almost died at their hands! Speaking of this, Wu Ling'er glanced at the pot of verbena: "In short, I will give you a suggestion, don't keep this thing in your own home, whoever gave it to you, you should give it back to whom!" ”

Hearing Wu Ling'er say this, the second uncle glared at Luo Chaocang fiercely: "When you go back in a few days, bring me this pot of flowers!" ”

"Yes!" Although Luo Chaocang responded like this, he couldn't help but glance at Wu Ling'er, and didn't seem to believe her words.

Zhu Qian glanced back at Luo Chaocang and dragged Wu Ling'er and asked, "Have you experienced it?" How is it? Tell me, and, Ji Zai, I know it's the guy who likes to sleep and stinks, so who is the coffee? Why are the names of the people around you so strange? ”

"I'll tell you later, let's find a way to find the missing person first!" Wu Ling'er really didn't want to mention the past and coffee again, so she quickly diverted the topic: "If this happens, it's better for us to call the police!" After all, it's a big living person who is gone! ”
