I just finished packing up my clothes and accompanied Zhou Xin back to the room.

Suddenly, at this moment, the door of the old villa made another "knock" sound.

Zhou Xin and I were so frightened that the two of us hurriedly ran to the courtyard to poke our heads out. I saw that it was Xu Haoran who came back!

Xu Haoran's face turned pale and he shouted exaggeratedly.

"Not good! We can't go down! ”

"How?" I asked, confused.

"The plank bridge is broken!"

"Plank Bridge?" Only then did I realize that there were two ways up the mountain. The road in the back mountain is flat and you can drive.

Zhou Xin, Yu Zhe and his wife drove to the old mansion on the top of the hill by themselves. And Fang Siyi and I also hitchhiked up from the back mountain.

As for Xu Haoran, because he is a foreigner, he doesn't know the environment on the mountain on our side. So he walked in the direction of the front mountain, which is considered a tourist attraction, and the uphill is full of paths, steps, and a plank road.

Xu Haoran drove the car to the foot of the mountain, and then climbed the mountain on the plank road. The plank road on the front mountain road is broken, and if you walk down the mountain, you really can't go down!

I said, "It's okay, there's still the road behind the mountain!" Mrs. Zhou has a car, let's drive down the mountain in a while! ”

Xu Haoran panicked and was extremely excited.

"I can't go down the back mountain! There are landslides, all of them are boulders! ”

"What?"

This time, Mrs. Zhou and I were dumbfounded.

"Impossible, right?" Zhou Xin was 100% puzzled.

I suddenly remembered the inexplicable loud noise that we all heard at the hilltop villa tonight.

Don't? Is that the sound of a landslide?

I bit my lower lip and frowned.

"Not good! Let's go out and have a look! I'm afraid, this time we are really going to be trapped in this hilltop villa! ”

Zhou Xin grabbed my forearm.

"Xiaoji, don't leave me, sister is afraid!"

I asked Zhou Xin.

"Give me the car keys!"

Zhou Xin hurriedly took out the car keys from his clothes pocket.

I told Xu Haoran.

"You stay here with Fang Siyi, and Mrs. Zhou and I will drive out to have a look! Let's see if we can find our way down the mountain! ”

Xu Haoran squatted on the ground, his whole body curled up in a ball. He sighed and pounded his head with his fist.

"Alas! Why are you so unlucky? I'm going down, I'm going down! ”

I didn't have time to say more, so I took Zhou Xin and immediately ran to the off-road jeep at the door.

I drove around the mountain. Xu Haoran was right, there was a serious boulder collapse in the back mountain, and the entire road had been completely cut off.

I got out of the car and came to the boulder, and found that the ruins of the collapse were mixed with a strong smell of saltpeter and sulfur, obviously gunpowder!

I said, "This mountain was deliberately blown up!" ”

Zhou Xin became more and more nervous.

"What then? Is there no other way? ”

I sighed helplessly and nodded reluctantly.

"That's right, there are two paths! The back mountain collapsed, and the plank road in the front mountain was cut off. It seems that someone deliberately didn't want us to get out of the old mansion on the top of the mountain.

We were all trapped in the mountains, trapped in the male voices playing through the loudspeakers. We are pawns in the hands of others, and we can't escape! ”

Zhou Xin and I reluctantly returned to the villa, and everyone looked very depressed, only Fang Siyi. So far, she is very sure that she has nothing to do with that Enron.

I guess I don't do bad things, and I'm not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door! So Fang Siyi walked around the old mansion and villa, and even went to the kitchen to cook a bowl of noodles for herself.

Only Xu Haoran's face has not been very good, Xu Haoran has cold sweat on his forehead, and his lips are pale.

"It's too late, I'm not feeling well!" Xu Haoran obviously didn't want to stay with us anymore.

"I'll go back to my room and rest first!"

Xu Haoran saw that the remaining four of us had gathered, so he went back to the room by himself.

That night, because Yu Zhe was dead, Zhou Xin was timid and didn't dare to go back to the dead man's bedroom. She and Fang Siyi were huddled in a room. I glanced at my watch, and it was past 1 o'clock in the middle of the night. I turned around and went back to my room, tired all day, and lay down in bed, and I fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning, the sun outside the window made my eyes glaze. I slowly got up and stretched my waist, and the jingle of pots and pans could already be heard in the yard.

Fang Siyi and Zhou Xin got up early, women are always more virtuous and like to be busy in the kitchen.

I got up and walked to the yard, Zhou Xin holding a handful of shallots in his hand.

"Xiao Ji, get up! Let's have breakfast! ”

Zhou Xin's eyes were red and swollen, and his expression was still very tired. This woman just died her husband last night, and it is true that she can recover like this today, which is really her heart.

Fang Siyi wrapped the sandwich in the kitchen, and Zhou Xin picked up some pickles on the two acres of vegetable land behind.

Fang Siyi held the dinner plate in her hand and placed the prepared breakfast on the stone gazebo in the courtyard.

This woman is also really a stone heart and lungs, next to the gazebo. There was also Yu Zhe's corpse, and Fang Siyi saw that the dead man looked so calm.

As soon as Zhou Xin saw her husband's corpse, she would cry uncontrollably.

Fang Siyi pursed the corners of her lips.

"What's that? Promotion, getting rich and dying husband, three joys in a woman's life! ”

I asked Fang Siyi with a half-smile and jokingly.

"Aren't those of you who work in magazines harder than ordinary people?"

Fang Siyi is 38 years old and has become the director of the magazine department. Generally, most of these very capable strong women do not have the same empathy as ordinary people.

Fang Siyi's response was indifferent.

"We, people, I'm afraid it's not big enough! The bigger the thing, the more exciting it is, the more selling it is. And we can't blame us news media people, we're not here to cater to the masses!

If you want to say that the common people have bad tastes, they never like a peaceful society, they only like to splash urine and blood! ”

We talked for a long time in the courtyard, and then we realized that it was almost 10 o'clock in the morning, but Xu Haoran never got up.

When Zhou Xin went to the kitchen to get the tableware, he just walked to the door of the cafeteria, and accidentally stumbled under his feet, and he actually hit the door of the small ancestral hall.

As soon as he touched the door of the small ancestral hall, Zhou Xin was so frightened that he screamed and jumped to his feet.

"Oops! Unlucky! Zhou Xin couldn't stop crying again.

I stepped forward to help Zhou Xin. "Mrs. Zhou, don't be too sad!" As I spoke, I was about to close the door of the ancestral hall.

But at this moment, I caught a glimpse of the small porcelain figure next to the incense burner on the altar table in the ancestral hall, and it was broken again!

I pushed Zhou Xin away and strode into the ancestral hall.

This time, it's the kneeling figure on the far right that is broken.

Sure enough, there was also a white note hidden in the second broken little porcelain figure.

With trembling hands, I picked up the note and opened it slowly!

I saw that the word on the note this time was - "color"!
