Tale 2: The Girl in the Mirror Chapter 4 Old Photographs Left Behind
Wei Xiaofeng's room was next to the bathroom. Walked into the room and it was neat and spotlessly clean, apparently the owner of the villa took great care of the big house every day. The door opens to a desk with a matching chair in front of it. There is a window on the wall to the left of the desk, which has two layers, the outer layer is a double-open glass lattice window that can be pushed outward, and the inner layer is a double-open wooden brown shutter, which is pulled inward. Beyond the window was a bedside table and a large bed covered with a blue striped sheet and a quilt patterned with blue sky and white clouds. At the foot of the bed is a large wardrobe against the wall in the past. The furniture is made of mahogany, like a custom-made set, apparently left over from the previous generation of owners. Maybe it's because the furniture is of high quality, or it's rarely used, so it's been left for so long and there is little sign of damage.
Wei Xiaofeng put the luggage next to the bed, took out a small change of clothes and put them in the drawer of the bedside table, and put the daily necessities on the desk. After putting everything in order, she walked to the window, the blinds had already been opened, and she pushed open the glass window to look out at the scenery in the distance.
As far as the eye can see, there is an endless sea of green trees, undulating with the terrain. The silhouettes of the eaves of some scenic buildings can be faintly seen in the greenery in the distance, but there does not seem to be an obvious path connecting to this place. It's no wonder that even during the holidays, there are no guests, and although this red villa stands out against the greenery, no one wants to risk getting lost.
The same scenery, no matter how fascinating it is, there will be times when you get tired of seeing it. After three minutes, the defender Xiao Feng left the window and sat down at the desk, boringly pulling every drawer to pass the time.
Each drawer was empty, there was nothing left, and the traces of the previous owner's residence and the recent years of tourists living here were cleaned by the current owner of the mansion.
Well?
Xiao Feng suddenly found something in the drawer in the lower right corner. There was a piece of paper between the top and the bottom of the drawer, and perhaps because the paper was so close to the panel that it was difficult for a person to see the angle when standing in front of the desk, the owner had neglected to slip it out when tidying up.
Wei Xiaofeng reached out and pulled out the piece of paper.
It was a photograph of a teenage girl with long jet-black hair and large watery eyes, wearing a blue floral dress. In the photo, she is smiling sweetly and happily, and the background of the photo is this mansion.
"Zhu Jie didn't seem to mention that Liang Bo and his wife have children, right?" Wei Xiaofeng muttered to himself, "It should be a tourist who has lived here who accidentally fell." ”
The more Xiao Feng looked at it, the more familiar she felt that this little girl became, but she couldn't remember where she had seen this little girl for a while.
After thinking about it for a long time to no avail, she had to give up, but she still cared about it in her heart, so she put the photo in her pocket.
Then, Xiao Feng walked to the side of the bed and lay down. The bed was soft and comfortable as lying in the clouds. She took out her phone to surf the Internet, killing the time before lunch.
***
A few minutes before eleven o'clock, I heard Chen Xueqi knocking on the door and shouting, "Xiaofeng, come out and go to dinner together." ”
"It's coming!" Xiao Feng hurriedly answered, put away his mobile phone, and walked out of the room.
Outside the door, everyone else had already gathered, and when Wei Xiaofeng came out of the room, they walked downstairs together.
There were already a few people sitting next to the long table, a young couple, two boys in their early twenties, and Wu Yun, who was writing something with his head down. Liang Bo and a kind-looking middle-aged woman were busy setting up the cutlery around the table.
Wu Yun found out about their arrival, and hurriedly waved his hand to them and greeted them.
They smiled back in a friendly manner, and then sat down in turn in the seats opposite the five tourists.
After Liang Bo waited for them to sit down, he pointed to the middle-aged woman and introduced, "This is my wife." ”
The middle-aged woman smiled kindly and said, "My surname is Niu, you can call me Aunt Niu." It's good that the meal will be a while, so let's talk for a while. Then she went into the room by the stairs, which seemed to be the kitchen.
So the five people on Wei Xiaofeng's side talked to the five tourists opposite.
The young couple, the man's name is Wang Quan, 28 years old, and the woman's name is Bai Liqin, 26 years old. They have been married for less than two years, but they have been a couple since their college days. They come to Dongmingshan at this time of year, and they all stay in Liang Bo's private hotel without exception.
The two male college students are students in the third year of the S City Business University, and the one named Yan is very strong, and the outline of the muscles under the T-shirt can be faintly seen, and the skin is relatively dark, obviously often engaged in outdoor activities. The other is named Hong Falcon, the most obvious feature is his hooked nose, and he is a slightly thin person, but he can still see that he has a healthy body with regular exercise. Because Shangda is very close to Dongming Mountain, the two of them will come to Dongming Mountain to climb the mountain as long as they are free. I took the wrong road by chance, found this mansion by mistake, and then often came to stay overnight.
Because all four of them are regulars, and there aren't many people who come to stay at this private hotel, they basically all stay in specific rooms.
Wei Xiaofeng and the others also learned from the mouths of the four people that there are a total of 20 rooms in this hotel, not counting the bedrooms and warehouses of Liang Bo and his wife, even when the traffic in Dongmingshan is the largest. And the accommodation fee of Liang Bo's annual income is basically not much after deducting the daily expenses, but this does not matter to an old couple who are over half a hundred years old, at least the environment here is very beneficial to people's bodies.
As he spoke, everything for the meal was ready, with a bowl of rice, three dishes and one soup in front of everyone. Aunt Niu said kindly: "Everyone eat more, you can add more meals if you don't have enough." ”
Everyone answered, and they all started moving. The dishes are all very ordinary farmhouse dishes, but the expensive ones are that the ingredients are natural and fresh, and the cooking is simple and pure, which locks in the original umami of the food, and is not inferior to the high-end dishes made by some big restaurants. Uncle Liang told them that most of the vegetables were grown in a small vegetable field not far from the house, and the meat and poultry were also raised in captivity. The nearest market is an hour's journey away, so you can save a lot of money by going down the hill occasionally to buy condiments, fruits, and meat.
Lunch ended in a leisurely and relaxed atmosphere, and everyone was very fragrant and full. At this time, Aunt Niu brought out a large plate of fruit platter that had been cut into small pieces from the kitchen and distributed it to everyone.
While eating apples, Zhu Jie asked, "Uncle Liang, we came to Dongmingshan for the first time, and we don't know how to arrange the itinerary for these few days, can you give us some advice?" ”
Liang Bo was just about to answer, but Wu Yun, who was sitting next to him, hurriedly said: "I have been to Dongming Mountain many times, and I am familiar with this area, so I will be your tour guide." ”
Zhang Yueyue asked embarrassedly, "Is this good?" Don't you still have to write articles? If you give us a tour guide, will it delay your work? ”
"That's right." Wu Yun scratched his cheeks and said, "But maybe I can be more inspired by playing with you energetic college students once in a while." ”
"Then we can take you with us." Yan Zheng quipped in a rough voice.
Wu Yun hurriedly waved his hand: "Forget it, I want to play more easily, your field sports are too tired, and your thinking about the brain is not very good." ”
Hong Falcon smiled: "They have girls over there, right?" It's really boring to be with two of us big men. ”
"That's not what I meant......," Wu Yun was a little embarrassed, "but there is a little bit of truth." ”
The young couple who were silently eating fruit on the side accosted: "We will go to the nearest stream and a line of heaven from here later, do you want to go with us?" It's better to go to that place for half a day. ”
Chen Xueqi looked at her friends and asked, "How is it?" ”
Seeing that everyone nodded in agreement, he said, "Okay, let's walk together." ”
Liang Bo instructed on the side: "Pay attention to safety on the road." Dinner can be prepared around 6 o'clock, please be sure to come back before this, otherwise the food will not taste good if it is cold. ”
Everyone agreed, ate the fruit on their plates, and then ran upstairs to prepare.
***
Wei Xiaofeng and his entourage of five people, plus Wu Yun and the young couple, a total of eight people walked out of the mansion together and walked along the path in front of the door to the depths of Dongming Mountain. Yan Zhuang and Hong Falcon went to the high mountain to the north.
The young couple Wang Quan and Bai Liqin walked in the front, Zhu Jie and Zhang Yueyue followed closely behind holding hands, Chen Xueqi, Yu Xiaoyu and Wei Xiaofeng and Wu Yun were left behind and chatting non-stop.
Chen Xueqi asked unceremoniously: "You are trying your best to walk with us, do you have a crush on one of the three of us?" Be honest! ”
Wu Yun was made a little crying and laughing by her: "Please, I just met you guys, how can it be so fast?" Don't think of me so obscenely, okay? ”
Yu Xiaoyu's question is more appropriate: "Which magazine are you writing for?" ”
"Green Shoots. You may not have heard of it now, because it's not very famous, but I'm sure it will be known in less than two years. Wu Yun looked very confident.
"Why?" Yu Xiaoyu wondered where his confidence came from.
"Because I'm here!" Wu Yun slapped his chest unashamedly.
"Cut ......," Chen Xueqi booed him disdainfully.
Wu Yungan laughed twice, then leaned over to Wei Xiaofeng's side and asked, "Your name is Wei Xiaofeng, right?" Why are you so silent? ”
Wei Xiaofeng was obviously a little caught off guard, and replied softly: "Huh? Ah, I'll just listen to it. ”
Chen Xueqi pulled Xiao Feng over and said solemnly to Wu Yun: "Xiao Feng is more introverted, especially not dealing with the opposite sex. You're not going to beat her up, are you? She's very cute, but you can't have bad thoughts about her! ”
Wu Yun smiled bitterly: "What do you all think of me?" Since you reject me so much, then I'll keep my distance from you. ”
Chen Xueqi laughed and said, "It's just a joke, don't take it so seriously." If you're really interested in Kaede, then I'll fulfill you. ”
Wei Xiaofeng's face turned red, and he said angrily: "Xiaoxue, you are very annoying, don't talk nonsense, okay?" ”
Chen Xueqi laughed a few times, as if the prank had succeeded.
Wu Yun looked at Wei Xiaofeng, whose face was crimson, and his heartbeat inexplicably quickened the pace......
