Chapter 1 Ancient Town (1)
After graduating from university, Lu Yueyuan came to work in a big city to make money. Thinking that she would want to live here in the future, she remembered that her uncle was the boss here.
I want to trouble him to help him find a suitable place for himself, and he rents a house that he is competing with for work.
"Hello? Uncle, I'm Yue Kite, can I ask you a favor? With a cigarette butt in his mouth, the uncle stood in the office in the company building, looking at the scenery not far away.
The phone came from the voice of his sister's daughter, who is coming to work in Jinzhou after graduating from college this year. He heard that the job she was looking for was his rival's company, which made him very unhappy.
He tentatively asked his little niece if she wanted to come to work in his company: "By the way, I heard your mother say that you just graduated yesterday and are going to work for an interview today?" ”
She said happily: "Yes, if it goes well, I will start working tomorrow." Uncle, can you do me a favor, I didn't know anyone I knew when I first came back to Jinzhou. If you want to rent a suitable house here, you can share a house. Lu Yueyuan asked cautiously, she was afraid that her uncle would disagree.
The man sighed: "I know you want to, but I'm going to say ugly things ahead." I've also carefully inquired about those people, one is an anchor, one is studying dance, and the other is basically just out of the internship. They have different personalities, so be careful. ”
The man asked, "If you think that company is not suitable for you, your uncle is always welcome here." Lu Yueyuan could hear something in his uncle's words, and he wanted to poach himself into his company as an employee.
But my mother never liked my uncle, just because my uncle wanted to throw her into the pond to feed the fish when she was a child. Mom told her again and again when she went out that no matter how your uncle poached you to his company, don't go.
Lu Yueyuan just replied perfunctorily: "Don't worry, uncle, you can send me the address of the rental house first." I'm calling you when it's time, thank you. The man didn't say anything, just silently hung up the phone and sent the address over there to his niece's phone.
After Lu Yueyuan copied the address, she navigated the route on the map on her mobile phone. , I didn't expect that I didn't know if I didn't navigate, and I was shocked when I navigated. This address is recognized as a remote area on the whole network, and basically no one has been there.
Racking her brains, she wondered whether to go or not. Besides, this kind of place is still quite far from your own company. There was only one bus stop there, and Lu Yueyuan dragged her heavy suitcase to a nearby station.
The sky is not beautiful, and the ringtone of her mobile phone is urging her to get through quickly. The above remarks are Manager Feng, Lu Yueyuan's interviewer. Lu Yueyuan answered the phone and said politely: "Manager Feng, hello, do you have anything to do with me?" ”
The man didn't beat around the bush either, sitting in a chair and playing with the bracelets that came back from the auction. He went straight to the topic: "I'm not Manager Feng, I'm the president of the company. Just saw your resume, your surname is Lu? ”
Lu Yueyuan took a deep breath: "Ah, yes, is there anything wrong with this?" ”
"Your uncle ......" Before the man's words were finished, he was stopped by Lu Yueyuan: "That, I actually interviewed by myself." It has nothing to do with my uncle, I heard about it when I was at home, and he had dealings with people in this area of Jinzhou. I offended people when I was young, but it had nothing to do with my job interview! It's true! My mom avoided him......"
The man sneered softly, this little girl really dared to say anything. If she continues to ask this question, won't the little girl be scared away by him, the devil? The man was a little curious about where Lu Yuekite came from and wanted to meet her.
Lu Yueyuan knew that she had said the wrong thing, but the other party didn't ask her any more questions, and she didn't make a sound, so it was estimated that it was really out of play. She was just about to explain, when the man's lazy tone came from the other end of the phone: "You can go to work directly tomorrow, remember to go to the front desk to register and send me the address later." ”
Lu Yueyuan was overjoyed, and she suddenly became dumb when she could speak just now. "Well, thank you, President, you're such a nice guy! In that case, I'll hang up for a while and I'll send you the address! ”
The man hung up the phone first, and the hairy child who just came out was like this. Rather than the company's cold interns, he wants enthusiastic college graduates. Perhaps, in this way, he will be able to train the next generation of secretaries.
Not long after, a text message popped up on the man's mobile phone, which was the address of the girl just now. It was a little too fast, and she was still in the airport when I spoke to her. This strange phone call drove the man's curiosity.
Late at night, it can be regarded as waiting for a bus, bus No. 475. The girl looked up and couldn't see inside the bus. It was as dark as a cave and a bottomless pit, and the abyss was terrifying.
The sound of "popping" makes the lights turn on inside the bus. It's just that this light is a little broken, flickering on and off. Just like jumping in a bar, Lu Yueyuan stood at the station, and it took a long time to see the driver's voice and smile.
His body was like a piece of wood, cut off one by one. He looked at Lu Yueyuan, who was standing in front of the car door, and her gloomy white face was as if it had been coated with very thick flour. He was wearing a gray shroud that was not obvious, and there were two talismans hanging on his shoulders.
Lu Yueyuan's body couldn't help but tremble, and the cool breeze swept from nowhere to her ankles to the top of her head. She was thinking about whether or not to take the ride. Because on the timetable next to the station, it seems that there is only one bus going to the residence.
The man on the other side again received the station's timetable, which was tattered and grease-stained. It seemed very old, and the man vaguely remembered that the timetable said bus 475.
Such a scene made him, who was tired all afternoon, feel that something was wrong. He thought it was a prank, so he didn't care too much about the text message. And what he cares about is that there are two addresses sent at different times.
The first one was sent at 10 p.m., and it was an address I never knew. The second one was sent at 0:00 tonight, and what made him creepy was that he also attached a photo of the address. The man didn't dare to click on it for fear that he would be toyed with.
The man wanted to roll over, and his body was frozen. The door to his room slowly opened, and he pinched a cold sweat. The cold air in his mouth asked sternly, and he closed his eyes and said, "Who is pretending to be a ghost?" Come out! ”
At this point, the room became colder and colder. There was only one person in the whole room, and now it became very lively. Eerie laughter, high heels with an ethereal sound on the floor, from the living room to the hallway outside the room.
The man boldly moved his gaze to the door, and he was highly short-sighted, and he did not have eyes, only a woman dressed in red. Her eyes were fixed on him, and the woman stood outside the door, her body slowly drifting into the room.
That's not a human, it's a female ghost. I thought it was a prank by the nanny and the housekeeper, but I realized that she was not human. The female ghost approached him, and her cheek could be pressed against the man's face.
The man saw the female ghost's face very clearly, and thought of today's new interviewer: Lu Yueyuan. The resume photo I glanced at during the day today is very similar to the female ghost in front of her.
The female ghost froze in mid-air and did not move until 1 o'clock in the morning, when she revealed her horrible white face.
The teeth were stained with foul-smelling blood, and the smell was so bad that the man fainted directly. Lu Yueyuan, on the other side, trembled and raised her feet into the bus, and there was a thoughtful and terrifying footsteps behind her.
Accompanied by the shadow of the man, he appeared in front of Lu Yueyuan from the dense fog on his side. The man holds an umbrella in his hand, and his clothes are embroidered with patterns. Old-fashioned boots, crutches.
He slowly raised his head and looked at Lu Yueyuan in front of him.
The corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he played with his hands. finally turned his back to Lu Yueyuan and spoke: "Girl, are you going to Qi Town?" ”
Lu Yueyuan looked at the place shown on the map on her phone suspiciously, it should have been Qi Wu Town, but the name on it had become Qi Wu Town. The word Qi is like a Taoist symbol, and the more I look at it, the more scared I feel.
The old gentleman called her many times and did not respond, so he said sharply: "Girl, please follow the old way." This road will keep you safe. ”
The old gentleman's words made people shudder. What do you mean to keep you safe? Could it be that there has been an accident on this road?
She didn't care so much, so she had to follow the old gentleman and get into the bus together. The moment she stepped into the car, Lu Yueyuan seemed to feel that there was residual residual warmth in the car, and this residual temperature seemed to be coming back with a resentful ghost for revenge.
She glanced around, walking lightly, the glass of the bus seemed to have been shattered for many years. Reaching out and stroking the broken glass, memories that don't belong to me come into view.
The miserable screams, the screams for help, the screams, and the painful memories made Lu Yueyuan start to feel creepy. In my memory, there was a woman covered in bruises, who was stretching out her palm to her, and pushed Lu Yuekite out with energy.
The woman spoke: "Run! Ling Wenyue! ”
Wen Yue? But she doesn't have this name, and she doesn't have this surname! With tears in her eyes, the woman posed to pray for mysterious protection, protecting her from the strange girl who was chanting Wenyue's name.
The old gentleman was humming a spell in his mouth, and he took out a few blank talismans from his sleeve, and pointed his sword at them. After the drawing, the old gentleman threw the talisman he had just drawn into the air, and continued to chant the mantra with his sword finger next to his chin. The runes thrown into the air were burned to ashes by fire of unknown origin.
The ash drifted away with the wind, and Lu Yueyuan smelled the smell of ash and choked a little. She didn't dare to make a sound, for fear that the old gentleman would have an opinion.
The bus started, and Lu Yueyuan casually found a place to sit down. She remembered that she didn't pay the fare when she got on the bus, and she didn't have change in a hurry today, so she had to ask the old gentleman to borrow it.
"Sir, may I ask you, do you have any change? I came in a hurry today, I didn't bring it, I want to change some with you. ”
When the old gentleman saw that she was polite, the old gentleman's little eyes opened slightly, and his mouth was closed and he did not speak. Lu Yueyuan thought that she really disturbed the old gentleman, so she had to swallow her saliva and return to her seat.
The old gentleman was very young, probably in his early twenties. But why call him Mr. Lao? Because he's really an old gentleman who knows the Dao.
The floor of the bus was slippery, with the smell of being burned, and the water leaking on the top was dripping on Lu Yueyuan's freshly washed hair. Oily, dirty and disgusting, a bit unlucky today.
The old gentleman got up and leaned on crutches, and Lu Yueyuan looked at him suspiciously. He came to the strange driver, who stared straight ahead with his eyes and ignored the old gentleman.
After that, the driver slowly spoke: "It only costs 2 yuan to go to Qiwu Town." "$2? The fare is very appropriate, Lu Yueyuan wants to ask the driver why the fare is more than the usual fare of seven yuan?
The driver said casually: "This place has been bought by a developer, and I want to build a tourist attraction, and this place will also be abandoned." Since the disappearance of the Republic of China, no one has walked here. ”
The old gentleman also asked curiously: "I heard that there are graves on and off this mountain." If they don't do it, the workers of those developers will suffer. ”
When the driver heard the old man's words, he sighed helplessly: "Then what can I do?" In order to save money, the boss of the developer did not invite an old Taoist priest with advanced Taoism to exorcise evil spirits. I'm afraid, they're all going to be unlucky. ”
When Lu Yueyuan heard their conversation, she suddenly felt a chill behind her, and the old man's lamentation came from her ears. Today's events are like a dream. She wanted to ask what time the driver would arrive at the station tomorrow, but was stopped by the old gentleman.
The old gentleman asked for her: "This master, dare to ask when you will be on the station tomorrow?" ”
The driver of the car, with a finished cigarette butt in his mouth, looked up and thought. She thought it was strange that the driver had a timetable next to him, so why should he think about it.
The driver also knew what she was going to ask, so he politely replied to the old gentleman who was talking to him just now: "Tomorrow morning at half past eight, by the way, this schedule is too long, and the time is not right." Tomorrow the little girl will come at nine o'clock, and at half past eight, the fog on the mountain has not yet lifted. ”
When Lu Yueyuan was about to ask other questions, she was stopped by this old gentleman again. Lu Yueyuan had no choice but to shut up and return to her seat. She watched the old gentleman pay for his car, and always felt that she owed him a favor.
They quieted down, and the atmosphere of the whole car became silent and terrifying. I could only hear the leaves of the trees around me, rustling in the wind. There are willow trees planted on both sides of the road, and there is a stone table and chair under the willow trees. The willow whiskers are reflected in the road, overlapping like the shadow of a living person.
Lu Yueyuan was already asleep in a daze, and she couldn't open her eyes, and it took a long time to reach her destination after a bumpy ride. The old gentleman called her several times to wake her up, and she awkwardly wiped Harry from the corner of her mouth.
After moving her things, there was a person waiting for her at the station here. She is one of Lu Yueyuan's favorite horror anchors, and she was rated as the most popular anchor on the small video shake.
Lu Yueyuan was at a loss for joy, and the anchor was holding the mobile phone holder and the mobile phone was live broadcasting. When the camera focused on the landing of Yue Kite, she was very excited and nervous.
The two of them greeted the fans in front of the screen, and at this moment, Lu Yueyuan's uncle was also paying attention to her. When he saw his little niece, his body was excited to take a closer look, it was worthy of his sister's daughter, and the mother and daughter were carved out of a mold.
He saw two people standing behind his little niece, a man and a woman with a terrifying pale face and an old gentleman wearing sunglasses. The old gentleman turned around and left, however, Lu Yueyuan continued to greet everyone and didn't notice that the old gentleman who accompanied him had gone away.
Lu Yueyuan looked at the gloomy surroundings, there was only such an anchor waiting for her here. She said in a deep voice, "Well, who are you waiting for here?" ”
The girl smiled at her: "Ah, no, I'm waiting for my friends here?" As soon as I arrived, you happened to be here too. What are you doing here? ”
It's really not that I'm waiting for her, it's her own passion. Lu Yueyuan looked at the picture on the phone with the girl, and the girl looked at it and said in surprise: "Do you also live here?" Coincidentally, so did we, today the owner called us and said someone wanted to share a room. It's you! Which room do you sleep in? ”
"Room 748." The girl listened to the room number, she had never heard the owner say that there was this room. Everyone lives on the floor, and the layout inside is very much like a hotel. The girl pondered again for a long time, and kept saying the room number of "748,748,748" in her heart. I always feel that this number is not very auspicious.
Doesn't "748" mean "Die, right?" Thinking of this blogger frightened. Which intermediary introduced this, isn't this cursing people! The blogger stomped his feet angrily, and Lu Yueyuan felt inexplicable about this.
"What's wrong? What's wrong with this? Lu Yueyuan chuckled several times in her heart and asked again. The girl looked to the side of Lu Yueyuan, waved her hand and shouted, "Hey! Where have you been! We've got a new member! ”
