Chapter Twenty-Three: The Disappearing Dugu Snow
At night, I still had the same dream, when twelve black-cloaked men fell on one knee and clenched their fists at a white-cloaked man
"Swear allegiance to the master" As the dream distorted, I also woke up, packed up and prepared to go out to exercise.
After returning home from exercise, my uncle was reading the newspaper as usual, and my aunt was preparing breakfast, when Duguxue suddenly called
"Hello? Mingxuan? The voice looked a little shaky, as if he was afraid of something.
"What's wrong, Xiaoxue? What's wrong with you? ”
"Mingxuan, you don't want to leave the house today," I said strangely
"Why? Is something wrong? How can I go to class without leaving home? ”
"Just now a phone call called me and asked me if I recognized Zhuo Mingxuan, I said yes, and then he hung up the phone, his voice was very gloomy," I laughed
"Don't worry, someone might be playing a prank, it's okay, I'm not the same as before now." At this time, my aunt's voice sounded and told me to go to dinner, and I said nonsense
"My aunt told me to eat, and I hung up first. When I went to school, I said, "Without waiting for Duguxue to speak, I hung up the phone and went out to eat."
When I arrived at school, I saw that Duguxue hadn't come yet, so I sat in my seat and looked out the window. After a while, the class bell rang, I turned my head to look at Dugu Xue again, the seat was still empty, which inevitably aroused my suspicions, although Dugu Xue did not listen carefully in class, but he never missed class, plus the phone call in the morning, I felt that there must be a problem, so regardless of the teacher's shouting, I ran to the counselor's office, and I didn't bother to knock on the door, I went in directly, and walked to the counselor's seat and said anxiously
"Teacher Ling, has Dugu Xue ever asked you for leave?" Teacher Ling turned his head and looked at me strangely and said
"No, what's wrong?" I swallowed and foamed at the mouth and continued
"Teacher Ling, Duguxue didn't come" Teacher Ling looked at me with a strange look
"Didn't you skip school yesterday too? Do you still talk about people today? "I'm very anxious, but I can't tell Mr. Ling about the content of the call, even if I do, Mr. Ling will 100% take it as a prank and won't take it seriously.
So I didn't entangle with Teacher Ling, I turned around and ran out, and Teacher Ling shouted loudly in the back
"Don't run around, remember to go to class." I frantically ran to the school's archives, hurriedly looked for Duguxue's home address, and finally found it, I was stunned for a moment after seeing Duguxue's home address, it turned out that Duguxue didn't live in the city, and lived in a village in the suburbs.
So I didn't care so much, took out my mobile phone and took a photo, and then hurriedly ran out again, running frantically in the direction of the school gate, running and running, the school guard seemed to see something, hurriedly waved at me, signaling me to go back to class, don't run anymore.
But where can I manage so much? Bypassed the doorman, ran to the door, jumped violently, held the door with one hand, and jumped out of the gate directly, leaving the doorman alone and messy in the wind.
I took out my mobile phone to check the address while running out, the address is quite far away, if I run like this, I don't know how long it will take, so I walked to the road, stopped a taxi, and reported the address to the driver, the driver looked at me suspiciously
"Little brother, what are you doing in that village? That village had been abandoned for a long time. I was stunned for a moment
"Big brother? You're not kidding? My classmate was sick, I went to visit, and she was in that village."
"Hey, what am I kidding you, you ran so far, I wish I could take you over to earn more money, but the village was really deserted before," I quickly asked
"Big brother, do you know how it was deserted?" The driver's eldest brother stopped in front of the traffic light again, looked left and right, although there were only two of us in the car, swallowed and said with a frightened face
"It is said that there is a plague in the village, and all the people in the village have died, and this matter is still in the news," I asked with a secret shock in my heart
"Do you know when it happened?" The driver's eldest brother thought for a while and said
"It's been a long time, about twenty years. I was still in school at the time, and there were a lot of people in our school discussing it. That little brother, shall we still go? I thought about it for a moment and said with a firm gaze
"Go!" After another hour or so, the driver's brother stopped at the entrance of the village and turned to me
"Little brother, I can only send you here, I don't dare to enter inside." I nodded
"Thank you, big brother" paid and walked down, only to see that the village was very desolate, and the surrounding fields could clearly see that the vegetables and grains grown in it were withered because there was no harvest, I continued to walk forward, and suddenly stepped on a hard thing, and looked down, it was a plaque, which read: Weihe Village, I quickly looked at my mobile phone and compared it with Duguxue's address, it was indeed the same address, it said No. 31, row 8 of Weihe Village, I looked for it while walking, this village seems to have been abandoned for a long time, I can't find any people anymore, I don't know how Duguxue can live in such a place.
This kind of place, if it was replaced by me before, I wouldn't dare to come to the death, but now it's different, there is internal force in hand, and there is martial arts, so I am bold and bold, and I am not afraid at all, of course, it is daytime, if it is night, it is another matter.
Little by little, I walked towards the village, and the doors and windows of every house were closed, and I couldn't help but wonder why the doors and windows of the village were closed when the plague had killed a village.
Just when I wanted to find a random one to jump into, I suddenly found that the door of a house in front of me was hidden, so I hurriedly ran over, knocked on the door open, and slowly walked in.
After entering is a yard, the yard is overgrown with weeds, and there is a white cloth for funerals hanging on the door of a house, and there are houses around, I know this kind of rural house, generally the big house in the middle is the master bedroom and living room, and the small house next to it is generally a guest bedroom or kitchen and toilet and the like.
I walked slowly forward, walked to the door of the big house in the middle, gently pushed, locked, so through the small house next to the door to look inside, there was also a white cloth hanging in the middle of the inside, there was very little furniture, empty and dusty, so I went to other houses to check, all the same locked door, just when I tinkered with the lock,
"Who?" I quickly turned around, and I didn't know where an old woman walked in, holding a stick as a crutch in her right hand, and a basket in her left hand
"Oh. . . Hello, I'm looking for my classmate, she lives in this village" The old woman had sharp eyes
"This village has been abandoned for more than twenty years, and even if you had classmates, you would probably have died a long time ago." I swallowed in horror and bowed to the old woman
"Excuse me" and hurried out.
"Wait," I asked, standing up and looking at the old woman suspiciously
"Which one are you looking for? What's the name of your classmate?" I thought about
"My classmate's name is Duguxue, and her family lives at No. 31, Row 8, Weihe Village"
"The people in this village are all surnamed Wei, and there is no one surnamed Dugu, but the No. 31 in row 8 you said, go out of this courtyard gate, go straight to the left and turn left and walk to the end." I hurriedly thanked me and flew away.
