The surroundings were no longer red, but a void of black.
"Xiaolan."
She is falling here, but at least her body no longer hurts.
The chaotic consciousness gradually became clearer, and there seemed to be a hand in the darkness grabbing her hard.
The black slowly fades away, like rain washing away the world covered in ink.
Everything appears as it should.
Xiaolan was covered in cold sweat and breathing heavily.
The car bumped even more violently, but Xiaolan, who was in this situation, felt as if he had just escaped from death.
Finally woke up.
Xiaolan's nose was sore and she felt aggrieved, but she couldn't shed tears.
"Having a nightmare?"
The Taoist priest's voice sounded, and Xiaolan nodded with a look of aggrievedness. She lowered her head and saw that her right hand was tightly grasping the Taoist priest's right hand. The Taoist priest's whole body was torn into a strange shape. Seeing her wake up
, breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiaolan quickly let go, and the Taoist priest took back his right hand, which had been pinched until it turned white, and shook it gently.
"You're not old, but you're very strong."
"What did Xiaolan dream about? You're so scared." Xiaoyin moved her seat and was holding a bag of potato chips, turned around, opened it and handed it to Xiaolan.
Xiaolan sniffed.
"It's scary."
Sister Pineapple smiled and opened the mineral water.
"We stopped at the rest stop just now. We went down to buy food. Xiaoyin had just opened a pack of biscuits and was about to share them with us. When he walked next to you, you suddenly punched out and almost knocked over the biscuits."
Did I punch? Xiaolan thought in fear, wasn’t it a palm?
Xiaoyin turned around again, pretending to be angry.
"I was so angry that I ate all the cookies and didn't even leave a bite for you."
Cookies are not that important anyway.
"Did I scream?" Xiaolan held the potato chips and asked anxiously, without even bothering to eat them, "Did I disturb you?"
Just as Xiaoyin was about to open her mouth to answer, the car suddenly jolted violently, and Xiaoyin, who was sitting upside down, was almost thrown out of the seat.
The roadmaster opened the curtains on one side, and what faced him outside the window was the low hills in the distance. The car was driving hard on the dirt road covered with ruts, and everyone's eyes followed the ups and downs of the mountains.
"We have entered Fengwu."
Xiaolan also leaned over and looked out the window. Is this the mountain of Fengwu and the trees of Fengwu?
"If we don't even build roads, how can this tourism industry drive GDP?" the little fool's angry voice sounded from the back row, "it's all water on me!"
Pineapple hurriedly handed over a dozen tissues.
Xiaolan was laughing with everyone when suddenly, her chest felt suffocated.
She coughed suddenly, and at that moment it felt like a cold hand was pinching her heart.
The hairs on my hair stood on end, but this feeling only lasted less than a second and then disappeared.
After Pineapple took care of her, she came to take care of her, gently patting Xiaolan's back.
"Be careful. This short stretch of road is not easy to walk. Eat something later so you don't choke."
Xiaolan gasped and nodded.
Although the pain passed in an instant, Xiaolan felt that something had changed in her state.
The cold hand left Xiaolan's heart, but left her with a cold sense of oppression. What she felt at this time was that heavy sense of oppression.
There are others.
Xiaolan lowered her head and looked at her hands.
What also came to me at the same time was the feeling of pulling me, as if there was a thread pulling on me when I first woke up in the attic.
She has arrived, where she should be.
——————————————————————
The bumpy road section soon passed, and the bus drove onto a smooth concrete road.
Several people fell silent in unison, observing this strange city through the car window, and the atmosphere gradually became solemn.
There are indeed many mountains in the distance of Fengwu.
Fengwu, which is not that big, is surrounded by mountains on three sides. The weather outside looks like it is going to rain. The cloud curtain hangs low and covers the top of the mountain. The whole city is like a box, firmly locked by the mountains and clouds.
The feeling of pulling comes from that mountain.
It can be seen from the buildings passing by that Fengwu is indeed not a dilapidated and desolate place. Most of the buildings are clean and new, and the design style is very modern. However, this also confirms what the Taoist said that Fengwu has indeed only developed in recent years.
of.
Driving into the city, the car gradually slowed down, and occasionally I could see a few locals, who were not much different from people in other places.
It was four o'clock in the afternoon when we arrived at the station, the moment when day and night merged. Several passengers in the front row got off the bus with them, and looked at them with strange eyes.
The Taoist priest held Xiaolan's backpack in one hand and his cell phone in the other to call the hotel he had booked.
I don't know why, but after arriving at Fengwu, everyone became stunned.
Even the talkative Xiaoyin fool fell silent and stood at the door of the passenger terminal, looking around the entire Fengwu mountains.
Fengwu has its unique temperament and taste, just like a lonely eye.
"The driver can't come for the time being. The boss asked us to take a taxi to the hotel ourselves."
After talking for a long time, the Taoist priest put down his cell phone and said these words.
Xiaolan followed the Taoist priest closely and sat in the back seat of the taxi, squeezing together with the pineapple maple syrup.
"Master, go to the Sunset Hotel in Namjoong-ro."
The driver turned on the handbrake and looked at them strangely, "It's quite far there. Do you want to go to the mountains to play?"
The Taoist priest sat in the passenger seat and fastened his seat belt.
"We just want to go to the mountain," the Taoist priest handed a bottle of mineral water to the driver, "Master, do you know that there is a village over there."
"Hey, thank you," the driver took the water and glanced at the three people in the back seat, "Lianshui Village, are you going there too?"
"Has anyone else gone there?" Sister Pineapple sat in the middle of the back row and asked after hearing this.
The four people looked at the driver who was starting the car.
The driver's face turned red and the car started to move slowly.
"I thought you were with the few people who came here a few days ago. No one has come to Lianshui Village for several years. You guys just came when something happened to this group."
problem occurs?
The four people suddenly became energetic. Even Maple Sugar, who had been in a semi-conscious state, sat up straight and leaned over to listen.
"What happened?"
The driver was a little surprised and looked at them carefully through the rear mirror.
"It turns out you don't know. A few days ago, we were in a group of people, about seven or eight people. They said they were tourists and wanted to go to Lianshui Village to play, but in fact they were looking for someone. It turned out that there was a girl in the group on the mountain.
Committed suicide."
The Taoist priest and Pineapple Maple Sugar looked at each other, showing an expected expression.
"Looks like we found the right one."
Pineapple Maple Sugar nodded, leaving Xiaolan alone confused.
What, what, what happened?
Xiaolan looked at the pineapple and then at the Taoist priest.
Pineapple patted her thigh and whispered: "I'll explain it to you later, let's listen first."
nod.
"What are you here for," the driver said curiously, "are you looking for the previous group?"
"We are here to find the place they are looking for," the Taoist priest looked at the driver, "Master, what else do you know, can you tell us in detail?"
"Oh, that's a long story." The driver shook his body from side to side while holding the steering wheel, and sat upright, "It happens to be a long way, so I'll tell you about it..." This chapter has been completed!
