Chapter 149 149 One is willing to fight and the other is willing to endure
Unexpectedly, this time I slept, I would lose most of the afternoon.
Finally, my mother came back from playing mahjong and found no sign of me. Then she entered the house and found me still sleeping soundly on the bed.
Only then did my mother wake me up from my sleep.
"Yiyi, why are you so sleepy recently? You've been sleeping for almost a whole day? Is there something wrong with your body?" My mother couldn't help but asked curiously.
"How is that possible? Maybe it's because I've been a little tired in the past two days." I said with a guilty conscience. Of course I didn't dare to tell my mother that I was pregnant with a snake fetus.
In fact, I knew deep down in my heart that because I was carrying a nest of snakes in my belly, not only did my appetite increase a lot, but I also slept longer.
This is similar to a normal pregnancy.
However, the only good thing is that I haven't developed symptoms of nausea and vomiting yet, otherwise my mother would have suspected me.
"Really?" My mother looked confused.
"Of course." I nodded sharply, and then quickly changed the subject: "Mom, did you win money playing cards today?"
"You win, it's almost three hundred?" As she said that, my mother happily took out today's loot from her bag and showed it off in front of me.
"Mom is still awesome." I gave my mother a thumbs up, but I was secretly relieved.
Fortunately, the topic was successfully changed.
"Let's go, I'll invite you and your dad to eat out today." My mother said with a proud look on her face.
"Really, what should we eat?" I asked greedily.
Now I suddenly want to eat hot pot, that kind of shabu-shabu pot, with a fiery red pot bottom, which is refreshing and spicy.
Recently, I always feel that there is nothing wrong with my mouth, and I want to eat something more stimulating.
I guess it must have been the nest of little snakes in my stomach.
It is said that people who are pregnant usually have different tastes than before, and it seems to be true.
"What do you want to eat?" My mother looked at me.
"Is hot pot okay? It's the kind of mutton-boiled meat." I couldn't help but swallow my saliva as I said it.
If this were done on a normal day, my mother would naturally not be able to agree to it.
After all, that thing is too expensive, even if it is a buffet, it is only 128 people.
For the three of us, the total is more than three hundred.
But today my mom won money.
Happy! That’s another story.
"Okay, let's go eat the hotpot mutton." My mother readily agreed.
"Mom, you are so kind." I was so excited that I gave my mother a bear hug.
"Go, go, don't hug me, clean up quickly. I'll call your dad right away and ask him to come back." My mother pushed me away with a pretended look of disgust.
"Yes, Mom." I said and jumped directly to the bathroom to wash up. In order to eat this piece of boiled mutton, my washing efficiency increased by N times in an instant. In less than five minutes, I packed up.
Walked out.
"Mom, I'm fine. When can I leave?" I said with a smile.
"Yiyi, something seems not right." My mother suddenly walked over, holding her cell phone and looking a little ugly.
"Mom, what's wrong?" I suddenly felt anxious because I had a bad feeling in my heart.
"I don't know what's going on, but your dad's cell phone has been unable to get through." I said anxiously, while lowering my head and fiddling with the cell phone.
"What?" I stepped forward quickly.
"Look, when I called this phone, I just couldn't get through, and there was no reminder to turn off the phone or no one answered." My mother was very anxious.
"Mom, don't worry, try using my phone." I said and took out my phone from my backpack.
"Okay, give it a shot." My mother also nodded hastily.
I quickly dialed my dad's phone number, and sure enough, I couldn't get through. There was a strange sound coming from it, a bit like the blind tone when a cell phone is busy.
I tried several times in succession, but the result was still the same, it didn't work.
"Yiyi, do you think something really happened to your dad?" My mother burst into tears as she spoke.
"Oh, Mom, don't worry. My dad is lucky and will be fine." I opened my mouth to comfort my mom, but actually I was also panicking deep down.
In fact, I am also very worried about my dad's safety.
After all, the last time my parents went missing and I called them, the same situation happened.
So, this time I have to wonder what happened to my dad.
"Well, what should we do now?" My mother was so anxious that she stamped her feet.
"Mom, why don't we go under the bridge tunnel of Erxian Bridge and take a look." I suggested.
After all, it was because they were there last time that they made me worried.
"Yes, go directly over there to find him." My mother nodded hurriedly and agreed.
Soon, my mother and I took a taxi and went under the bridge tunnel of Erxian Bridge.
At this time, there were many fortune tellers gathered here, with a compass and a Bagua array placed in front of each person.
Then there is a white canvas with all kinds of symbols on it, which roughly means fortune telling.
Under the Erxian Bridge cave, there are all these people who make a living by telling fortunes.
Basically, any family who wants to find someone to tell fortunes, ward off bad luck, etc., come here, and they are guaranteed to find the right one.
However, most people say that the people here are all deceitful tricksters who, under the guise of telling people's fortunes, are actually doing shady things.
Of course, I didn’t believe in these things before.
But since what happened to me, I feel that it is quite normal.
After all, if you do something, you have to respect it.
No matter whether he is a real expert or a deceitful master, if you don't take the initiative to find him, how can he deceive you?
As the saying goes, if one is willing to fight, the other will suffer.
When these people saw us, mother and daughter, coming, they greeted us very warmly.
"Little girl, do you want to have your fortune told? Come, come, come, no money required."
"Little girl, are you looking for marriage? Come to my place and I'll collect the money after you're sure."
"Coming soon, the blind man is telling fortunes. He can predict good and bad luck, drive away bad luck, and make a fortune."
Listening to these shouts, my mother and I had no interest at all.
After all, these people are unprofessional at first glance. They rely solely on shouting to find business, and they will count every one they catch.
My mother and I walked around under the bridge, but my father was nowhere to be seen.
"Why is there no one?" my mother said anxiously.
"Mom, it's okay. I'll call my dad again and give it a try." As I said that, I took out my phone and called my dad.
This time, it turned out that no one was answering the phone.
"How's it going? Have you gotten through?" My mother said anxiously.
"Yes." I nodded, but there was an unnatural expression on my face.
"Give it to me quickly." My mother said and snatched my phone away. I could hear the ringing tone that kept repeating, but no one answered it.
"What's going on? Why is no one answering?" My mother pressed the replay button again without giving up.
Once, twice, three times.
No matter how many times my mother pressed the replay button, the ringtone still sounded, and my father's cell phone was always unanswered.
"How is this possible?" My mother looked up at me anxiously.
"Mom, why don't we ask someone first?" I suggested.
Since my dad has been walking around this area these past few days, some of these people must have seen him too.
Wouldn’t it be easy to find out just by asking?
"Yeah." My mother also agreed with me.
I was about to find someone to ask, but suddenly I heard a deep voice coming from behind me.
"Little girl, are you looking for someone?"
I was startled by this sudden sound.
This voice really didn't sound like a normal person's voice, but it had a cold ghostly aura that made people shudder.
My mother had the same reaction as me. We looked at each other, then turned our heads and looked over, and couldn't help but gasp.
My mother even held my hand and said in a trembling voice: "Yiyi, do you think this is a human or a ghost?"
