Trick 58 "Night Run"
Xiao Lin is a veteran, and the transition from the army to the local living environment made him a little unacceptable for a while. In addition, he chose to return to his hometown after being discharged from the army, and the relationship with his family was also relatively tense, which directly led to him staying at home for three days before going to the city to work.
What Xiao Lin didn't expect was that the process of transforming from a soldier to a local youth was so tormenting, and negative emotions such as confusion, helplessness, and depression all appeared around Xiao Lin at once. He closed himself off, unwilling to contact any stranger, and stayed up day and night in a cheap rental house.
Fortunately, he still maintained the habit of practicing twice in the morning and evening when he was in the army, three kilometers in the morning and five kilometers in the evening, every day, never stopped, and only at this time did Xiaolin's personality as a normal person appear.
The city is noisy and noisy, no matter where it is, so Kobayashi chooses a very tricky time for physical training in the morning and evening, half past five in the morning, in a remote park, and at nine in the evening, in a remote park. The park is next to an elementary school, and the park is large, with a long man-made river in the center, and trees are planted everywhere, all of which are thick and tall.
Because of these trees, the park is green even during the day, but at night, there are no people.
One night, when Kobayashi came out, it was close to ten o'clock, and he ran forward at a constant speed along the circular track in the park. In the afternoon, it was cloudy, and there was a strong humidity in the air, and Kobayashi adjusted his breathing while speeding up his steps. He runs about a kilometer in a circle of the park, and if he runs three laps in five kilometers, he starts to pick up speed on the second lap after adjusting to the first lap and then raises his speed to his limit.
Soon, Kobayashi ran to the third lap, and just as he was about to turn, he suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a figure standing in the woods on the right hand side in front of him. When he ran to the figure, Kobayashi saw the face of the man clearly, it was an old lady about 70 years old.
The old lady's eyes were a little hollow, and she didn't react to Xiao Lin's passing, so she just stood stunned. Although he thought it was strange, Xiao Lin didn't stop and ran quickly, and then, when Xiao Lin passed by again, the old lady seemed to have left.
Xiao Lin didn't care, so he ran five kilometers so quickly, according to his habit in the army, after a long run, he had to walk slowly for a distance to relax and relieve the tense muscles in his legs.
The last 500 meters were sprinted, and Kobayashi gasped for breath at this time, recovering as he walked along the runway. There are a few street lamps in this park that are really underworld, which are the kind of blue, green and blue transformation, placed under the trees, and then shine upwards, flashing and flashing between the light transitions, which is particularly weird.
Suddenly, Xiao Lin had just touched the old lady's position, and two figures appeared at this time.
"It's so late, how can there be an old man who comes out to exercise?"
Xiao Lin was a little surprised, and when he approached again, he found that this time there were two old men, a man and a woman, and the old lady was still the one he had just met. The two old men stood stunned in place, just like the scene when Xiao Lin met the old lady just now, as if they were copying and pasting.
It was already eleven o'clock in the evening, and the strange old man in the depths of the park made Xiao Lin, who usually doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, also feel a little chill in his back. Thinking of this, he walked briskly with his head down, and just as he was about to turn, Xiao Lin, who was a little curious, was ready to look back again.
He slowly turned his head and looked in that direction, and suddenly found that there were two people in the original, and at some point there was another person, and three figures stood there. Suddenly, an even more terrifying scene appeared, only to see the three people turn their heads to Xiaolin like a machine, and under the backdrop of the three-color transformation street lamp, the terrifying atmosphere was directly filled.
After years of military career, Xiao Lin did not panic, and he quickly turned his head away from looking at the three people. Instead, he continued to walk his own way as if nothing had happened, and he was very sure that the three were not people, because under the sporadic light, he found that the three people seemed to have only white eyes, which he was very sure of as a former company shooter.
If someone else encountered this situation, they would definitely change houses and leave immediately, but Xiao Lin didn't think so, and he didn't change his status quo because of this. How to say it, ghosts and monsters are all afraid in their hearts, and they are up and down without shame or regret.
Xiao Lin ignored the three lonely ghosts that appeared on the side of the road, but in order to avoid trouble, he chose another route for night running. It is estimated that Kobayashi is also unlucky, and with the adjustment of the night running route, he did not have smooth sailing, but encountered new troubles.
This time, the night running route is a counterclockwise circle along the road outside the park, because it is on the sidewalk on the side of the road, so no matter how late it is, there will be passers-by or vehicles passing by, which also indirectly makes the night run time of Kobayashi, who is a little socially afraid, even later.
One rainy night, Kobayashi was running hard along the new route, and today he was ready to break through himself and sprint a ten-kilometer one. The sound of music in the headphones numbs his aching nerves and motivates him to keep taking steps, and nothing in the world at this time can disturb him.
Nowadays, life in the city is stressful and fast-paced, and many people are out of breath, and some people who are busy during the day will choose to go out at night to run two laps, and there is no shortage of such people on Xiaolin's night running route.
But today it seems that because of the weather, Xiaolin didn't meet a single person after three kilometers, and even the car was much less. The light of the street lamps was obscured by the fog of the night after the rain, which made everything in front of him look foggy, and in order to avoid stepping into the water, he needed to look at the road surface from time to time.
"There are still three kilometers left, come on!"
Xiao Lin cheered himself up, and at this time, there was a faint wheezing sound in his ears, to be precise, it was a girl's wheezing, listening to the voice, it seemed that someone was running at night like himself.
A single young man, the deep desire for the opposite sex in his heart is innate, and Kobayashi is no exception. He endured his curiosity and didn't look back, but the pace under his feet had slowed down, and just like that, Xiao Lin ran the last three kilometers, but he never saw the girl behind him catch up.
He was sure that the girl behind him had been following him, as if she was following him, but not more than himself. The goal of 10 kilometers of night running was completed, and Kobayashi switched running to walking, also wanting to see what the girl behind him looked like.
As expected, this time, the girl surpassed Xiaolin, but unfortunately, he still couldn't see the girl's appearance clearly, but judging from the slender figure and high ponytail, the appearance will not be low.
Xiao Lin had all kinds of thoughts in his mind for a while, imagining the appearance of all kinds of beautiful girls, and his eyes were completely attracted by the figure in front of him. Unconsciously, he didn't realize that he had followed the girl in front of him on the wrong path, and Xiao Lin followed the girl away from the main road and walked towards the dark path.
In this way, Xiao Lin followed the girl into a small forest, and the stones under his feet tripped Xiao Lin and stumbled, and then he suddenly woke up and found that he had somehow walked to the park where he had run at night.
And now he was standing in the same position where he had hit the ghost before, and when he was wondering, the girl who had been in front of him also stopped, and stood still in place. The desire in Xiao Lin's heart finally triumphed over reason, and at this moment, he seemed to be attracted to the girl by an inexplicable force.
He slowly approached the girl who was still standing in front of him, and then asked out loud.
"Hello! Excuse me..."
Just when Xiao Lin's first two words came out, the girl in front suddenly turned her head, and Xiao Lin was frightened and took a few steps back without saying the words in the back, because the ponytail girl in front of her was actually the female ghost old lady she bumped into here that day.
"You~Good~"
The old lady said two words hoarsely at Xiao Lin, the voice was like a demon who had just crawled out of hell, sharp and soul-piercing, Xiao Lin did not hesitate, turned his head and ran, and fled here as fast as he could.
Ghosts and gods are not credible, let alone unbelievable, and those who encounter ghosts are mostly depressed or unhappy, but most of the ghosts do not hurt people.
In order to lose weight, I used to run at night for a while, because I went to work during the day, and I only had time at night, and sometimes I even went out for a night run after 11 o'clock.
There are several large grassy areas next to my rented house, and almost all the night runners around me run around it, and it was already 11:10 when I went out for a run, and there was no one on the road at this time.
As I was running along my usual running route, I suddenly noticed that a meadow that I used to pass by was fenced off, and when I passed by the fenced iron gate, I found that there were several large characters written on it in red paint: "Archaeological Ground, Idlers are not allowed to enter".
This piqued my curiosity, and I immediately leaned in and looked through the gap between the two iron doors, where there were several large pits and digging tools on the edges of the pits, but I did not see any staff guarding them. I don't think it's a place of interest, otherwise it wouldn't have been without a caretaker.
I stared at it for a while, except for the shadowy tall grass, there was a mess of mounds, and I was about to leave, when I suddenly saw a woman in a white robe sitting on the edge of the innermost pit, with long hair and white robes, standing out in the darkness of the surroundings.
I immediately took out my phone and took a video, but I couldn't see anything but the pitch black, and when I tried to pull the camera in, the woman was gone.
The video was uploaded to Douyin by me, but unfortunately the woman in the white robe was not photographed, and I later learned that this ruin was the site of an ancient street, which is said to have unearthed porcelain or something, and it is still being excavated and studied.
