Chapter Twenty-Five: The Ring of Spirits on the Highway

Wei Xiaoyu walked out of the B&B in a nervous mood, glad that he was leaving now, and if he stayed in the old street for a few more days, he might show other horses' feet. At this time, it was twelve o'clock at noon, but she did not feel hungry at all, it seemed that what Mr. Xiao said was not bluffing, she asked, "Mr. Xiao, are you hungry?"

The little gentleman tilted his head and replied, "Not at all." ”

They came to the parking lot to pick up the car, filled the fuel tank at a nearby gas station, and before setting off again, Wei Xiaoyu poured half a glass of water for Mr. Xiao, and filled a bottle and a half of it himself. So far, no one seems to be tracking down the lost vehicle, so on the way to Suzhou, she was a little more bold and drove on the highway.

Along the way, songs and various advertisements were playing on the radio, and the little gentleman was bored to open the cloth cover of the round cage, and saw the little snake curled up in a ball, sticking to the wall of the cage and falling asleep, so he also learned from the little snake and tried to curl up and try, but tripped over himself.

The highway is much easier to run than the national highway, there are not so many large trucks, and there is no need to know how to drive, and the road conditions are even more flat. Therefore, Wei Xiaoyu's mood was also a little lighter, but she had a headache when she thought of the address given by Gao Peng, and she said: "Actually, shouldn't we return the money, what if he lied to us?"

The little gentleman said calmly, "No." ”

Wei Xiaoyu asked, "How do you know?"

Mr. Xiao said: "He asked someone in the Golden Azalea Community, and Lao Hua heard it. ”

Wei Xiaoyu was a little surprised when he heard this, and said, "Why didn't you say it earlier?"

"I thought he could find more information, but it didn't!"

Wei Xiaoyu said: "Alas, why didn't I think to ask around at that time. ”

There was still an hour or so away from the city of Suzhou, and when Wei Xiaoyu was relaxing listening to the song, he saw an oval gray smoke ring about 20 meters ahead, about the size of a car, standing on the road, the smoke ring was very shallow in the sun, and it was almost ignored unless special attention was paid to it. Before she could react, the little gentleman flew up and grabbed the steering wheel and pulled desperately to the right, shouting: "Pull the brakes hard!"

Seeing that the little fish did not move, Mr. Xiao jumped on the brake, hugged the brake lever with his thin paws, and flapped his wings vigorously, and the brake lever was tightly attached to its belly, slowly moving up. I saw that the right side of the front of the car was rubbing the guardrail of the auxiliary road, making an unpleasant sound of "creaking", and the body was shaking rapidly, making people's scalp numb. Seeing this, Wei Xiaoyu let go of the steering wheel, pulled the brakes with both hands, and the car stopped diagonally on the auxiliary road between the carriageway and the railing. Only then did she realize that the little gentleman's strength was at least five times that of his body size, no wonder he weighed so much.

This whole process was fast and thrilling, and a cold sweat broke out on the back of the frightened little fish, and asked, "This is high speed, what's wrong?!"

The little gentleman said: "The ones in front are all spiritual traps cast by monsters, covering the spiritual objects that pass by and the things from the spiritual forest!"

Wei Xiaoyu asked, "Those?"

The little gentleman said, "Those faint smoke rings are!"

It was hot at noon, the highway road looked wet like a mirror in the distance, the heat was constantly twisting and rising, Wei Xiaoyu opened the car door and got out of the car, looking back and forth in the distance. As far as her eye could see, she could see three or four faint smoke rings, slowly floating or moving, and there seemed to be some in the distance. She looked at the whizzing cars next to her and asked, "Why are they okay?"

The little gentleman replied, "They have nothing to do with Linglin, and it will be fine if we go over, but Lingpo will be netted inside!"

Wei Xiaoyu said, "Then what should I do now?"

The little gentleman said: "The monster that casts this kind of spell will be within a kilometer around, otherwise the spirit creature will run away, and the thing will be dragged away by other monsters, maybe it's okay now." ”

Wei Xiaoyu said, "It's okay?

The little gentleman said: "Disappeared, maybe it was the passing spirit creatures that solved them, what's so strange about this, it is their responsibility to destroy the spirit trap." ”

Wei Xiaoyu said: "Could it be that Huo Tong did it? That is, when I used to live peacefully every day, all this happened in another time and space?"

The little gentleman looked at her and said, "Well, but now these spirit traps are set up to welcome you, are you not moved?"

Wei Xiaoyu shrugged helplessly, the noon sun baked her eyes so much that she couldn't open her eyes, and the skin on her face and arms was about to explode, not knowing what strange things would happen next. Fortunately, the car is only an external scratch and can continue to drive. She settled down, started the car and got back on the road, anyway, just like Mr. Xiao said, she knew the existence of Linglin, what was there to be afraid of.

At first, she didn't dare to drive too fast, the vehicles behind her frequently overtook the car, and seeing that there was no more spirit trapping circle, she gradually drove back to the original speed unconsciously, and at this time it was almost to Suzhou.

Xiangzhang South District is about two or three kilometers away from the Humble Administrator's Garden, and Wei Xiaoyu booked an express hostel online. Living in such a place is not as intimate as a homestay, but the advantage is that it is more free, no one cares what you are doing, and things like the fire tung pinching the soup bucket are much less likely to happen. There is a large courtyard planted with a row of bamboos at the back of the hostel, and when the dangerous fish park, there are birds chirping in the camphor trees outside the wall, "hot", "chirping", "don't squeeze", "chirp", "chirp", and "chirp......

Since she got a phoenix feather three days ago, she has gradually discovered that she can understand the sounds of many small animals around her. When I was in Tunxi Old Street, I met a French tourist who passed by to call for a medical appointment, and I was able to understand those complicated words. It's just that after arriving in Suzhou, this ability to listen to the "bird language" is more obvious, there is more water, more trees, and more birds, so the birdsong is heard more frequently. She tried to talk to one of the birds that said "hot", and the other party responded to her, and now it was like she had discovered a new continent, and she was ready to find a time to communicate with the little snake that couldn't call.

She booked a slightly cheaper room, the orientation was not very good, and the windows were actually painted, but fortunately all room types had bathrooms and showers. Wei Xiaoyu put down his luggage, Mr. Xiao was very dissatisfied with the windowless room, its already anxious personality seemed to be aggravated, pacing back and forth on the TV cabinet, when Wei Xiaoyu asked what to do next, it said: "Old way! Find a friend for help!"

Wei Xiaoyu's eyes widened, and said, "I won't be looking for any private detective again!" Her expression and tone when she spoke now were a little like Mr. Xiao, and its ability to influence others was really unusual.

The little gentleman said, "When have you humans ever lived on the ground, of course, you have to be my companions!"

Wei Xiaoyu said, "Then what can I do, why don't you ask Lingpo?"

The little gentleman was still pacing back and forth on the TV cabinet, walking bumpy, and after a while he said, "I'll go out and open the door for me!"

Wei Xiaoyu asked, "What about me, are you just waiting here?"

Mr. Xiao said: "You go out to play mahjong and go shopping, Lao Wei and his ladies used to be like this!"

Wei Xiaoyu said: "Lingpo even knows this, but he doesn't know where this person is?"

The little gentleman urged: "Open the door quickly, wherever you go." ”

Wei Xiaoyu said: "Then I'm out, how can I contact you? Will Huotong follow you, or me?"

The little gentleman said, "Huotong, you can take care of both sides! As for the contact...... Anyway, I came back with the key. ”
