Chapter 30: A Mountain Villa Like a Church
I instinctively stepped back and almost fell out of bed.
After the lightning, the room became pitch black again, and I couldn't see Wang Manyu's facial features, but I could be sure that she was lying motionless at this time, not like she was awake.
I wiped the sweat from my palms, held my breath and listened carefully, Wang Manyu's breathing was very even, in order to make sure that she was indeed not awake at this time, I carefully took a picture of his face with the mobile phone screen.
In the faint blue glow, a delicate, beautiful face appeared in my sight, her eyes slightly closed, apparently asleep.
I breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time wondered - could it be that what I had just seen was an illusion?
When the lightning flashed in my mind again, the hideous smiling face I saw was so real, not like an illusion, although I drank some wine in the evening, but I was already awake at this time, and it was not seventy or eighty, how could there be a hallucination!
I remembered that when Wang Manyu's parents went to the police station to pick her up and go home, the three of them hugged each other, and Wang Manyu also smiled strangely at the side of the air, as if she had suddenly become another person.
Taking a step back, I can't hallucinate twice!
It must have been something inside her, that is, the younger brother she ate, the ghost baby.
I sat against the wall for a while, took a few deep breaths, calmed my mind, and then carefully leaned over and lay down.
The pouring rain continued until the second half of the night, at dawn, it was already raining and clear, I opened my eyes, just to see Wang Manyu sleeping on the side was cautiously trying to crawl over me, maybe I suddenly opened my eyes, she was nervous, screamed directly on me, the softness of the chest just pressed on my chest, she instinctively hugged me, stunned for three or four seconds before turning over and getting out of bed, her face was red to the root of her ears again.
The moment she turned over just now, her graceful and perfect figure was fully revealed, my eyes were straight, and after lying on me, I experienced an unprecedented feeling, and in an instant, I felt that the pores all over my body were expanding.
"I'm sorry!"
She quickly tidied up her clothes and put on her shoes, and she bowed her head and apologized to me.
I woke up like a dream, and quickly pulled up the quilt to block a part of my body that suddenly changed.
"It's me...... I'm embarrassed! ”
The heavy rain caused the water of the Yellow River to rise sharply, and it is said that all the workers of the ferry factory had to participate in the flood fighting, so I had to ask for leave, but fortunately, Xue Chunshan took special care of me.
Sitting in the passenger seat of Wang Manyu's car, I was in a good mood, the morning breeze was blowing on my face, and I had the urge to sing a song.
Maybe that's what it's like to be in love!
Wang Manyu meant that I would directly pretend to be her boyfriend and then live at her house for a while, so that it would be easier to find out the truth.
This is exactly what I want, because I have to complete the task assigned by Yin Si, and if the ghost baby sets foot on the Huangquan Road, I must follow Wang Manyu, and I think that if I want to successfully cross a very angry ghost, I must at least understand him first.
"You just said pretending to be your boyfriend?" It took me a few minutes before I came back to my senses.
"Why, don't you want to?" Wang Manyu glared at me with a red face.
Girls who like to blush are always cute.
"Of course I do!" I quickly said, "If it's true, so much the better!" ”
"What nonsense!"
I smiled and didn't answer again, a little excited and a little apprehensive at this time.
Counting up, I have only known Wang Manyu for a week, and I don't know her well, and I vaguely feel that something unexpected will happen when I go to her house this time.
The car went into the city and then out of the city.
"Where do you live?"
I couldn't help but ask.
Wang Manyu pointed to the mountain in front of him: "A few years ago, my parents bought a villa in the southern suburbs of the city, and in order to cool down in summer, my family would move to the villa for a while. ”
Villa?
I was a little surprised, and secretly scolded myself for being a stupid pig, in fact, I should have thought that Wang Manyu's family is well-off, and a junior can drive a car of two or three hundred thousand yuan, which is definitely not something that ordinary families can do.
I couldn't help but ask, "What did your parents do?" Suburban detached houses should be worth a lot of money! ”
Wang Manyu smiled slightly: "My parents opened a few companies, they used to be so busy that sometimes they didn't have time to go home, only me and my sister were left at home, the company's business has been on the right track in recent years, and most of the things are taken care of by professional managers. ”
Seeing that her eyes were full of tears, I stopped asking.
As he spoke, the car drove up the hill and stopped in an open field, where several cars had been parked, all of which were more than hundreds of thousands of cars.
After getting out of the car, a three-story detached European-style building came into view.
Looking at the style and color of this building, it should be some years old, more like a church in medieval Western Europe.
It's majestic, it's a little eerie, but it makes me feel intimidated.
"What kind of villa is this?"
"How do I know, it seems that a French couple sold it to my father, and as for who the previous owner was, I guess my father doesn't know. How? You have an opinion about this building! ”
I smiled and waved my hand: "It's the first time I've seen such a unique house, how dare I have an opinion, I just think it's fresh." ”
As he spoke, he followed Wang Manyu to a bridge.
It turns out that there is a gap of more than 20 meters in the middle of this mountain, as if God split the mountain peak from the middle, the place where we parked is on the east side of the crack, the villa is on the west side, and there is a trestle bridge in the middle, people can pass, but cars can't pass.
When I walked across the trestle bridge, looking at the valley floor below, I was still wondering, if the bridge broke, wouldn't the villa become an "island"?
When I approached the villa, I saw a lot of white notes on the door and on the wall, and all the white paper was swaying in the wind.
As someone who grew up in the countryside, I know that it is a taboo to put white paper on the door - unless someone dies in the family, I will never put white paper on the house.
Wang Manyu also looked confused, glanced at me, and hurriedly ran into the courtyard.
I followed closely behind, wondering in my heart: Is there another dead person in her house?
As soon as I stepped in, I saw a long table in the middle of the courtyard, and I saw the black-and-white photo of the table at a glance, and the back of my neck suddenly went numb.
Is it Wang Manyu? This is his posthumous portrait!
But then I reacted, it should be Wang Manli, the two sisters look eight or nine points similar, and people who are not familiar with each other are easy to confuse.
In addition to Wang Manli's portrait, there are also several plates of fruit pastries on the table, and facing the portrait is an incense burner, with three yellow incense sticks vertical, and a white wax on each side, at this time, curling green smoke is slowly rising from the incense burner.
This is very similar to the mourning shed set up in the courtyard of one's house before the funeral in the countryside.
I was looking at the statue in a daze, when I heard Wang Manyu's cry from the villa.
