633 Desolation
In the cemetery, it is clear that there are two new graves.
It's easy to tell from how old the tombstone is.
Ethan stood there smoking a cigarette and watched as Blake slowly stepped forward.
In fact, today, he could feel that Blake's mood was very sad, and although she pretended to be happy, there were some things that could not be concealed.
When she was doing things in the living room, she also kept venting frantically until she lost her strength.
Blake crouched in front of the newest tombstone and whispered for a few minutes before moving on to another tombstone with Lis's name engraved on it.
This time she didn't say anything, but put her hand in her pocket.
The next moment, colorful petals appeared in her hand, and although they looked a little dry, the color was still bright enough.
Blake opened his palms, and the petals fluttered and fell in the breeze.
She pulled out one by one, until her pockets were completely empty, and then she stopped what she was doing.
In just a while, the original plain white cemetery is now full of various colors.
She stood stunned for a moment before she turned around.
"Let's go."
Blake wrapped his arms around him, a smile on his face, but his eyes were a little red.
"Hmm."
Ethan nodded, rubbing her head.
The two of them returned to the road they had just walked down the road together.
Blake quickly came to his senses, pointing to places and telling interesting stories from his childhood.
I can tell that she has a very good relationship with that Lis.
is even a little doted, much closer than the average sister, and they treat each other like a child.
Ethan answered a few words from time to time, listening patiently.
After some talking, Blake's mood also improved a lot, and he walked with a little bounce.
Under the canopy, I walked along the road for about 200 meters and came to a back door.
There are also many withered yellow vines hanging on this small iron gate, and it can be seen that no one has gone out from here for a long time.
Walking out the back door, I walked a short distance in the woods, and I came to a country road.
It's just that this road should not be passable in normal times, and the grass in the middle of the road stubbornly emerges from the snow.
Led by Blake, the two walked through the snow forest and slowly walked upward.
Faintly, I heard the sound of running water.
Turning a corner, there was a small bridge in front of it, and there was a deserted wooden house next to the bridge, and the clear spring water flowed down from the mountain, emitting a faint layer of white smoke.
"Dudu~"
The horn sounded, and a patrol car turned around the corner in front of them and slowly stopped in front of them.
The cowboy hat was taken off, and the one sitting in the car was the one who met the patrol officer today.
"Hello~"
The patrolman took off his cowboy hat and glanced at the shotgun Ethan was carrying on his back: "Mr. Morgan and Miss Gaines, are you going to play in the mountains?" ”
"That's right."
Blake nodded and hurriedly asked, "Nothing has changed on the mountain, right?" ”
"This place of the hell." The patrolman threw the cowboy hat to the co-pilot and shook his head: "Nothing will ever change." ”
He looked at Blake and continued, "It's a shame about Lise. ”
"She's a good boy, and when we found her down the river, we couldn't believe it was so unfair to this girl."
He reached out and tapped underneath, sighed, and stepped on the gas pedal to leave.
"The river."
Blake hurriedly looked down and muttered, "It turned out that there was an accident here." ”
The river flowed and crashed against the stones, making a white splash.
From the words of the patrol officer and Blake, Ethan easily judged that her little sister Liz must have had an accident and fell off the bridge.
It is five or six meters high from the river.
It's really easy to get into trouble when you hit a rock.
"It's all gone." Ethan hugged Blake and whispered, "She's definitely not in pain now, she's going to be very happy." ”
"Hmm."
Blake closed his eyes and shook his head: "She's a simple girl, and she's going to be happy." ”
She sighed softly again, and then took Ethan's hand and walked along the path.
I didn't go far when I came to a fork.
Left up, right down.
"Hey."
Ethan patted Blake and pointed to the right: "Haha, are you familiar?" ”
Behind the clutter of trees was an abandoned factory building, which looked similar to the place where Blake had been kidnapped before, and the afterglow of the setting sun fell on the dilapidated buildings, with a somewhat terrifying atmosphere.
"Damn it." Blake slapped Ethan on the shoulder vigorously:
"Don't scare me, this is the old slaughterhouse in town, which was deserted when I was a child."
"What are you afraid of, I'm here."
Ethan knew that this was definitely not the destination this time, and smiled and hugged Blake and walked up the road on the left.
"Yaya~"
A few crows jumped at the window, grooming their feathers.
This movement reminded Blake even more of what had happened before, and his pace sped up a little.
After walking up for half an hour, I finally came to the place.
On the side of the road, there is a brand new wooden sign that says Beware of wild boars and remember to carry weapons with you.
Fresh earth, mixed with snow.
It should be the work of the patrol police just now, and the town police are like this, they have to do all kinds of.
"Hurry up, it's coming."
Blake clasped his backpack in both hands and made a quick walk through the woods: "We can't miss that view. ”
"What scenery?"
Ethan hurried to follow, his vision suddenly clearing as she made her way through a grove.
The orange-red sun is faintly disappearing behind the horizon.
On the other side, there is the land of Texas, where you can see the town's clock tower and the lights of the stars in the distance.
Seeing this scene made Ethan's heart feel much more open-minded.
"Wuhu~"
Blake raised his hands and shouted vigorously, the sound echoing through the mountains and forests, spreading into the distance.
She didn't know how to describe her feelings, today was sad and joyful, extremely complicated, so she simply yelled and vented the contradictory emotions in her heart.
Ethan, on the other hand, looked to the side and understood what Blake was talking about.
Next to them, there were several small pools of water with crystal clear springs and wisps of white smoke wafting from the water.
He hurriedly crouched down and touched the water.
As soon as he touched the pool, his eyes lit up.
Unexpectedly, there is a natural outdoor hot spring here, no wonder Blake is so impatient.
"Come with me."
Blake noticed that he had noticed, so he smiled and walked forward: "There is also a small hidden stone pool, I used to sneak up with Lisi to play. ”
Hurriedly got up and followed her over several large rocks.
A small oval stone pool appeared in front of the two of them.
All around were tall and dense woods, and the way in was where the two had just passed.
"You should have called me over here earlier."
Ethan plucked the clear pool water, the temperature is just right, and a soak in the winter is the ultimate enjoyment.
"I haven't been back for a few years."
Blake smiled and picked up a twig from the side and swept the snow away from a stone next to Tan.
She lowered her backpack, kicked off her sneakers, and unfastened her jacket.
Grabbing the hem of the cardigan with both hands, she pulled it up, her brown hair swaying with the clothes, and she expertly tied her hair in a knot:
"And then."
The movements were one after another, and the oversized bra also spun and flew backwards and hung on Ethan's head.
When Ethan removed the black lace gown, a round moon appeared in front of him.
Blake turned his head and smiled at him, bending over to set his skinny jeans aside.
No matter how many times you see such a beautiful view, you can't get enough of it.
"It's too cold."
The cold wind blew, and Blake got goosebumps all over her body, and she stepped on the stones barefoot, and slowly walked into the pool, and the water was rippling.
She quickly crouched down again, only her head exposed.
"Whew~"
Blake breathed a sigh of relief, and then slapped the water: "Come down, what are you waiting for?" ”
"Right now."
Ethan straightened up and watched her series of movements, and was splashed on her face by warm water droplets before she reacted and replied in a loud voice.
However, he was not in a hurry, first opened the backpack that Blake was carrying, took out the whiskey from it, and then took off his coat.
Watch the sun go down and watch the night rise.
The two of them soaked in the slightly hot pool water, drank whiskey in small sips, and quietly watched the changes of heaven and earth.
In less than an hour, you can already see stars in the night sky.
But it didn't take long for a dark cloud to sweep in.
"Please, that's bad luck."
Blake had a bad premonition, she poured a mouthful of whiskey into her mouth, and said helplessly, "It looks like it's going to rain." ”
"Boom."
Before the words could be spoken, a bolt of lightning snaked out of the dark clouds.
"Shet."
Ethan also scolded secretly, he was just about to get into the main topic, so he came to such a play.
"Let's go."
Blake hurriedly got up and paddled at the waist-length pool.
The weather in this season is easy to change abruptly, and she doesn't want to be drenched in cold and biting rain, and the cold is mild.
Climbing up the stone pool, she took out a towel from her backpack and quickly wiped her body.
Ethan also understood this and climbed up with him.
Both of them had reddened skin and emitted puffs of smoke.
"Hahaha."
Blake turned his head, noticing Ethan's reaction, and smiled from ear to ear.
She reached out and shook it gently.
"I'll make it up to you in the evening." She kissed Ethan on the cheek, let go of her hand, and hung up the towel as she smiled and dressed.
The thunder was getting closer and closer, and Ethan didn't talk nonsense, and Mari wiped off the droplets.
The two put on their clothes and walked away briskly with flashlights.
When he returned to the fork in the road, the rain crackled down, and when it fell on him, Blake couldn't help but shiver.
"Slaughterhouse."
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and Ethan took her hand and ran to the side.
The road here is overgrown with weeds, and even sparse trees have grown, some of them are two or three meters high, and under the light of flashlights, there are many shadows.
When you come to the iron gate, there are only narrow eaves on it.
A gust of wind blew and rain poured down.
"Let's go inside."
Ethan pushed open the hidden iron door, making a screeching sound.
Wind, rain, darkness, and a slaughterhouse that had been abandoned for more than a decade combined to make Blake shake his head quickly.
"Smack!"
Ethan slapped the shotgun on his hand: "What are you afraid of, I'm here." ”
"If you drench it again, you will catch a cold."
The radar is on, there is no one around, plus there is a gun in hand, there is nothing to fear.
Although Blake was still a little scared, when he saw Ethan's smile, his heart quickly settled down again, and he followed him inside.
As soon as he walked into the factory, a group of black pressed things pounced.
"Ahh
Blake screamed, and was quickly hugged by Ethan.
Crushing her underneath, the two of them crouched down together.
After a few seconds, the sound of flapping wings died down.
"Don't be afraid, bats."
Damn, Ethan's heart was beating violently, but he could only comfort Blake in a loud voice.
There weren't many things he feared, but strange creatures could make his heart flutter.
"Damn it, scare me."
After Blake was frightened, he became emboldened and shook around with a flashlight.
Inside the factory, it is extremely empty.
Chains and frames hung from above, graffiti sprayed on partition walls, and wine bottles, sanitary napkins and used sleeves were strewn on the floor.
It seems that this place is a holy place for many people.
Outside, the rain was more intense and rattling.
Even though the air inside isn't very good, there's no good choice at this time.
"Hey." Blake swallowed and pointed his flashlight at the wall in the distance, "Interested in going on a adventure?" ”
On that wall, a huge black arrow was spray-painted.
"Let's go."
Ethan shook his head and smiled, and walked inside with his shotgun: "Just wait a minute, you don't want to be scared to cry." ”
With radar, he has no fun in exploring.
Although animals are not recognizable, sometimes some humans are the most dangerous and ferocious creatures.
As long as humans are monitored by their own radars, there will not be much of a threat.
But now I'm trapped here, so I'll play with Blake.
Following the direction of the arrow, he walked to the back of the factory, where there was a downward slope, and looked at the rusty iron gate, and Blake stopped.
Mainly on the iron door, a bloody skull was painted in red paint.
This graffiti has been around for a while, and the colors have become a lot darker.
That's what makes it even more scary.
Walking to this position, the radar had basically swept the entire slaughterhouse, and Ethan pushed Blake:
"Let's go, go on."
"Why don't you forget it?" Blake's smile stiffened.
"Yikes!"
Ethan suddenly shouted.
"Ah!!h Blake didn't know what was going on, and jumped to his feet in fright.
"Hahaha."
Ethan twisted her ears and walked down with a smile: "If you don't look at it, you have to see it, I'm going to cure your curiosity today, don't keep drilling into these places in the future." ”
"Bastard, asshole."
Blake was so angry that he pinched his waist, and he was scared, scared to death.
A quick stroll down below satisfies Blake's curiosity.
The basement floor is where the slaughterhouse used to store supplies, and there are more than 20 small rooms separated by wooden walls, like a small labyrinth.
The previous graffiti was to scare the people who came to play.
There is also a lot of graffiti sprayed everywhere underneath, and the faint of heart may really be scared enough when they come.
The basement didn't taste good, and the two left in a hurry.
When they returned to the top, they were pleasantly surprised to find that the rain had stopped.
It came in a hurry and went in a hurry.
