Chapter 16: The Phantom of the Mountain Village Emerges
"Yes, Brother Yang, when you have a bad thought, people, will you make mistakes?" Jiang Meimei saw that Yang Xiao no longer spoke, so she began to chase after her.
"'One thought difference', in many cases, is used in a derogatory sense, such as a person suddenly has a not very good idea, and after implementing it, it causes very bad consequences. Therefore, people, in the case of a single thought, may make mistakes.
But, then again, who dares to say that everyone is doing the right thing? Yang Xiao began to test her, and at the same time looked at the bag in Jiang Meimei's hand. When do you want to get your hands on it, open it and take a look?
"Well, Brother Yang, you're right." Jiang Meimei's voice suddenly became very small, Yang Xiao felt something, turned his head again, and was surprised to find that Jiang Meimei was actually crying, and was raising her hand to wipe her tears. What's wrong with her? Did you hurt her with any words? Yang Xiao was inexplicable, and hurriedly turned his head to look ahead.
A flash of lightning flashed, followed by a "boom" of thunder. In an instant, the rain poured down. Yang Xiao turned on the wipers and slowed down the car at the same time. The car had driven into the mountains, and a lot of rain was rushing down the slopes on both sides of the road in a torrent.
At this time, there was a calm in the car, only the sound of "crackling" rain hitting the car, which made people listen to it upsetting. Yang Xiao looked at the time, looked out the window again, and thought to himself, if it weren't for this storm, it is estimated that it would be about an hour to reach the Big Duck Mountain Psychiatric Hospital. Many of the vehicles in front of them also slowed down, and gradually, a long convoy formed on the road, all moving cautiously. After a while, the brake light of the vehicle in front of him turned on, and Yang Xiao's car also stopped.
"What's going on?" Yang Xiao opened the car window and asked a middle-aged man wearing a white mask who walked over with an umbrella in front of him.
"A tree fell on the road, and a flash flood washed down a lot of debris and blocked the road. It seems that it will not be possible to get through for a while, and there is a traffic police officer in front of you to command, so that everyone will return to the city immediately...... I'm looking for a way around the neighborhood where I can get around. After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he hurriedly walked over.
Yang Xiao didn't care about the cold rain hitting his face, and stretched out his head to look forward, indeed, many vehicles were turning around. Damn, why are you so unlucky! Won't God help me?
How much Yang Xiao wants to see Dong Yuhu immediately, only by finding her, maybe many things will be revealed. Vaguely, he felt that Dong Yuhu was in danger now, where did her danger come from? Also, on the computer in my office, will anyone change the password tonight and set those six words? Who could it be? Dong Yuhu is now in the Big Duck Mountain Psychiatric Hospital, and Jiang Meimei is sitting next to him at the moment. If Jiang Meimei had been with her all the time today, would those six words still appear in the computer? If it still appears, then Jiang Meimei's suspicion will be ruled out. But what was the purpose of her visit to her office last night?
Thinking of this, Yang Xiao secretly sneered. He hopes that there will be a "ghost" in his office tonight!
Unconsciously, he turned his head and glanced at Jiang Meimei, and immediately his heart trembled. At this time, the car was a little dim, I saw Jiang Meimei hanging her head, her hair was a little messy, her face was buried in the bag on her chest, she kept shaking her head, and her mouth seemed to be whispering something, Yang Xiao just vaguely heard her say something like "providence" and "I won't go".
What's wrong with her? Could it be that he has also fallen into evil?
"Jiang Meimei, what's wrong with you? What are you talking about? Yang Xiao turned sideways and put his hand on Jiang Meimei's bag, Jiang Meimei hugged the bag tightly like an electric shock, looked up and stared at Yang Xiao, and said hoarsely: "Don't touch me, don't touch me!" Let's go back immediately, return to the society, no, I'm going home right away! ”
"Hey, Jiang Meimei, what's wrong with you? What the hell is wrong with you? Can you tell me about it? Yang Xiao asked softly, he saw Jiang Meimei's eyes turn red, and her facial expression was full of fear and uneasiness. However, in an instant, Jiang Meimei calmed down.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Yang, I seem to have fallen asleep just now, and I had a terrible nightmare, which is really scary. Well, now, the dream is just a dream, not a reality......"
"What kind of dream? Scare our big beauty like this? Can you describe it to me? Yang Xiao showed a look of concern, but he suspected that Jiang Meimei was lying, she would not have fallen asleep in such a short time. But what is the reason for her performance at the moment? Could it be that the middle-aged man who used to use the umbrella just now was to blame? Does she know this person? Also, in this heavy rain, why is he still wearing a mask? What kind of people is this?
"Oh. It's okay, I don't remember anything about the dream, Brother Zhou, let's go back, okay? Jiang Meimei seemed to be pleading.
"Go back? But, you see, we're almost there, and it's a shame to go back like this. Why don't we find a way around it? Yang Xiao said tentatively.
"Yes, yes, but why are there so many vehicles returning today?" Jiang Meimei stared out the car window, looking uneasy.
"It's normal for this season now, and after passing the Big Duck Mountain Psychiatric Hospital, this road will take another forty minutes to reach Pinghe Villa. It's very popular now, and the dilapidated Heiwa Villa has long since been renovated into a hotel. The homes of nearby farmers have been converted into mountain villas. There are also fox farms, snake wineries, moon lake fishing grounds, etc., and many people will come in groups to stay for a few days, which can be regarded as a very fashionable way to relax today. Now, those vehicles in front of me are returning, presumably because there is a problem with the road. Yang Xiaoxu babbled and said, he has nothing to say, who in Wancheng doesn't know this? Or do you need to say it? It's just that he wants to know how Jiang Meimei will answer next.
"Well, yes, I know, that Peace Hill has been advertised in our newspaper. Yes, every city has its own history and cultural heritage. Now, people in the city are yearning for the countryside and like the rural life; Many peasants like to go to the city and like high-rise buildings. It is also inevitable. People, after living in one place for a long time, will imagine that another place will be better than this one. By the way, this is also due to you, a great writer! Jiang Meimei said quietly:
"What? My credit? I don't have any credit! Yang Xiao smiled, thinking that this Jiang Meimei had changed fast enough, and she had returned to normal at this time.
"Isn't your novel 'Staircase of Terror' written about what happened in Peace Hill? After our morning newspaper was serialized, many people saw it and said that they wanted to come to see the villa, which also made some businesses see business opportunities......"
"Bang bang!" As soon as Yang Xiao wanted to say something more, he heard the sound of someone knocking on the window. He opened the car window and saw that it was still the middle-aged man wearing a mask just now.
"Dude, you're also going to Peace Villa, right? Turn around and go back about a kilometer, there is a fork in the road to turn right, pass the snake cave ridge village, and then run more than 30 kilometers of road, you will arrive at Pinghe Villa. The middle-aged man said loudly.
"Snake Cave Ridge Village? Oh yes, I know, thank you, thank you! Yang Xiao hurriedly thanked him, Snake Cave Ridge Village was really familiar to him. There are only a few dozen homes there, nestled at the foot of the mountain.
"It's okay, it's okay! Hey, brother, the lady in your car is 'bright' enough! Is it also to go to the mountain swimming pool to have fun, and then stay for a few days? ”
Yang Xiao smiled, not knowing how to answer him, thinking that this guy must have taken him and Jiang Meimei as going to the villa to cheat. The middle-aged man looked down at Jiang Meimei in the car, coughed a few times unconsciously, and then said: "Mom, cold cold, heat and cold, or the air in the mountains is good!" Then, he didn't listen to Yang Xiao's answer, and walked straight to the car in front of him.
Yang Xiao turned his head to Jiang Meimei and smiled evilly: "Then the guy asked us to go to the villa for a few days, and you can also go to the famous hot spring swimming pool to swim, do you want to go?" ”
"Where to go? Are we really going? Jiang Meimei's eyes were full of horror, and her voice seemed to tremble.
Yang Xiao originally thought that Jiang Meimei would give him a loud word "roll", but who knew that this woman actually showed such a look, and said, "Let's really go?" Yang Xiao was surprised, he scratched his head, and thought to himself, is he really a pervert who does all kinds of evil?
"No, no, don't be careful. I just like humor, we only go to the hospital to visit Xiao Dong, and strive to return to the newspaper office as soon as possible. Yang Xiao's mind was in a mess, and he couldn't figure out what Jiang Meimei was thinking, or, what was she expressing?
There were no cars coming from the opposite side, so each car made a quick U-turn. By the time Yang Xiao turned around, his car was already the last. He drove the car slowly, following the convoy in front of him, and gradually, he had reached some distance from the car in front of him.
At this time, the rain seemed to have subsided a little, and after a while, it turned into a drizzle. The sky, still not clear.
Yang Xiao drove the car carefully, while observing Jiang Meimei through the car mirror. Seeing her holding her bag in both hands, she turned her head to look out of the car window with an uneasy expression, as if she was looking for something.
Gradually, Yang Xiao's car has been pulled farther and farther away.
Finally, Yang Xiao saw the fork in the road and immediately turned around. Fortunately, there is a cement pavement in front, and the road surface is cleaned by rainwater, revealing a dark light. From here, you can also go to the Big Duck Mountain Psychiatric Hospital, but you have to take a detour of more than dozens of kilometers.
After walking for more than 20 minutes, the outline of the village appeared in front of me. That should be Snake Cave Ridge Village. The road is paved straight through in the middle of the village. At this time, it was close to noon, and it was raining again, and the village road was very quiet, and there was no figure in sight, but from time to time a few ducks and chickens would cross the road, so Yang Xiao had to slow down. When passing through a village entrance, Yang Xiao braked suddenly, and the car scurried on the slippery road for a while before stopping, Jiang Meimei "oops" and hit her head on the front windshield.
"Brother Yang, you, what are you doing!" Jiang Meimei was a little anxious, and it seemed that it hurt from the collision.
Yang Xiao didn't say anything, immediately reversed, returned to the intersection and stopped, quickly opened the car door and jumped down. Just now, he just happened to glance at the left crossing, at that time he was mainly afraid that the four-wheeled carts or horse-drawn carriages in the countryside would suddenly rush out, which was also the experience of driving on the village road. But he didn't see any vehicles, but saw the figure of a woman, this figure made him so unforgettable, so frightened!
