Life is like an onion, peeled off one layer after another, and in the end, tears will flow out.
First of all, the lost, alienated and mysterious teenager.
"It's super good luck? Does the sword resist the new moon? With potato chips in his mouth, he said vaguely, "I just think my recent life is boring, so my uncle invited us to live in his villa, happy, happy!" "
Moses seemed indifferent and said casually, "Isn't it strange to build a villa in the mountains?"
I froze for a moment, and then I smiled. "What's the matter? You just love your heart, like an Ogilvy. "
Moses stopped contradicting me, turned around and stared blankly out of the window.
I also looked out the window, it was raining lightly, and the spring rain was so unhurried and sultry.
I also understand that my uncle is struggling with this move, but he is so strong that his head is almost hitting the window. In a strange place, the investment villa is far from the city. In a remote valley, he said that those who have lived in the city for a long time occasionally want to live in seclusion for a change. That's why my uncle started his business in the mountains when he was still very young. Although there is still a week before the official opening of the villa, I want to arrive early. Maybe I can help. I brought Moses. A person's journey is not boring.
"ah! Does anyone want to get off in front? " A rough roar scared me. Following the source of the sound, it turned out that the driver was shouting.
I raised my voice a little and shouted, "Excuse me, is Ganxian Villa there?"
"What money villa? Never heard of it! " The driver cried a little violently.
"ah? It was newly developed in Woori Valley ... "I was afraid to lower my voice.
The driver interrupted me impatiently. "The idea of leisure when vampires are like this is a failure." And the girl just curled up in the corner of the bed silently. Like some small animals that have lost confidence in human beings. A strange feeling came to my mind, and that kind of emotion made Huang feel a little annoyed. What a nice person. The valley, right? Get off here and go over a mountain. "
Just as he was talking, the car suddenly stopped, leaving Moses and me behind.
I looked at the speeding car and murmured, "I'm not finished yet. Which way should I go ..."
I looked around, and continuous mountains and mountain roads crisscrossed. Moreover, this road is relatively deserted, and it seems that no one will pass by just to let me ask for directions.
I looked at Moses with some frustration. He loosened the strap of his backpack and strode steadily up the hill.
I followed in surprise and watched him skillfully walk around the mountain road. I admired him: it was really Moses, and even the map was studied before I came.
But I feel more and more wrong. Even if I am crazy again, I will remember a place after three times. If I remember correctly, I walked past this big pagoda tree seven times.
But Moses' triumphant appearance didn't make me doubt anything. I just endured following him.
Just when I passed the locust tree for the eleventh time, I couldn't walk and stopped. I put one hand on the trunk and raised the other hand to look at my watch. God, it's been two hours.
I finally couldn't help asking, "Moses, do you know the way?"
Moses stopped and turned to look at me with a straight face. "No."
I looked at him seriously, not as if I were joking. I quickly grinned. "So, how did you get along so smoothly?"
"intuition." Moses slowly spit out these two words.
I looked like I was beaten and cried, "Well, you are so cruel!" "
I really don't know why I spend so much time with Moses. I can tolerate his nervousness, ignore his indifference and, of course, tolerate his damn intuition! I'm beginning to admire myself.
Just then, it was still a continuous light rain, which soon got up and got out of hand.
I reached out and wiped the rain off my face, annoyed that I didn't take an umbrella when I went out. It's no use talking now, we must find a home, but how can there be a home on this mountain? The climate in early spring is still very cold. If your clothes are wet, you are likely to catch a bad cold, and you may get an acute pneumonia, just like a star who died young.
The more I think about it, the angrier I get. I glanced at Moses. When he came, he was still a leisurely look, which made me very unhappy. I don't want to think about who caused me to walk for two hours.
In a rage, I rushed to Moses and strode away. I felt Moses behind me, so I ignored him and ran away. Unexpectedly, the rain washed the mountain road rotten and slippery. When I was not careful, I slipped and fell heavily on the mud.
"Pain ..." This is my first reaction. I can't stand up on the ground. I really didn't expect a good holiday to turn into such a bad situation at first. This is all Moses' fault. I grabbed the grass on the ground and rubbed it.
"You Jia, are you all right?" Moses came running from behind and helped me up.
I reached out and pushed him away, yelling at him, "Don't touch me ... stay away from me every time. As long as I am with you, trouble will happen. Really annoying ... "With these words, I paused, feeling that Moses took a step back. I dare not look up because I am afraid to see his injured eyes. I don't think I can take it.
I wiped the dirt off my face and was covered with mud. I left them. Turn around and walk silently.
I've been watching Moses carefully behind me. He was about five or six meters away from me and followed me quietly.
I began to regret saying such irresponsible things, but I didn't want to admit it. I convinced myself willfully: after all, it was all his fault, it doesn't matter, he wouldn't mind …
I don't remember how long I stayed here. I looked up in a daze. It was already dark with a faint twilight. The rain never stopped, and my body was soaked to the skin. The feeling of cold clothes sticking to your body is really uncomfortable, and there is still water in your shoes. Walking is very uncomfortable, and there is always a feeling of stepping on the air. I didn't expect my physical strength to be so weak. More than three hours of mountain walking will make me weak.
I think I really can't. ...
"Are you lost?" A strange voice sounded softly ahead.
I was ecstatic to see a man with an umbrella in the bushes.
He came up to me slowly and smiled at me politely. "Is there anything I can do to help?"
I looked at the boy in front of me, probably one or two years younger than me-seventeen or eighteen. But his figure is much thinner than his peers, with a slender neck, slender hands and feet and clean cotton-padded clothes. Pale fingers gently grasped the umbrella handle. The old umbrella covered his face, only his pointed chin and upturned lips could be seen.
"Ah, that ..." Realizing my rude eyes, I quickly withdrew my eyes. "We got lost, and it rained heavily. Is there anyone around here? "
The man under the umbrella was quiet and didn't speak, as if his eyes could look at me through the umbrella. For a long time, he said faintly, "Follow the path on the left and walk for another 30 minutes, and you will see a village."
"Oh, thank you very much. Are you from the village? " I am happy to say.
"Well, yes." The boy nodded slightly, straightened his arm and handed me the umbrella. "I will lend you this umbrella."
"This how not bashful ..." I was holding an umbrella, and suddenly I saw the boy disappear behind the umbrella, with a fleeting smile.
I froze for a moment, this smile ...
The boy turned away, and the rain fell on him silently. Soon, his figure disappeared in the rain.
I looked at my umbrella, threw it to Moses behind me without thinking, and walked to the left without saying a word.
Suddenly, there are no more raindrops falling on my body, and the rain in front of me has not stopped. I suddenly understood what was going on. Although Moses behind me is less than half a meter away from me, he made a cold and deliberate effort to draw a line between us. Zhou Zhou thinks that his previous behavior not only failed to ask for the desired result, but also caused the estrangement between himself and Wang Wei. He felt that he could not get any answers from Wang Wei. Not only that, I'm afraid I've offended Wang Wei, and I'm afraid it's impossible to tell him anything. This fool must have covered almost all my umbrellas. I bit my lip, my hand became a fist, my nails were deeply embedded in my palm, and I tried not to turn my head to see him.
Second, praise, illness and the curse of Kirin
After walking for half an hour, you can finally see the dilapidated walls and closed doors. Without much thought, I flew over and pushed open the door.
I was pleasantly surprised to see dozens of houses scattered in the village, quietly accepting the baptism of spring rain.
I casually walked to the front of the nearest house and knocked on some rotten doors. The door is open, and it opens with a touch. I was surprised to walk in ―― there was no one in the empty house.
I left the house and turned to my neighbor's house. . In this way, I pushed open the doors of three or four families in a row, and no one was there. I looked stupefied at Moses who followed. It's not that there is no one here, but that there is no sign of people living here at all. It's too cold and cheerless. Every room is like this. The dust is thick and it has never been cleaned. The furniture is also pitiful, and there are no basics. What's going on here? I didn't react at once, but I clearly understand that even if I can take shelter from the rain in these rooms, my wet clothes must be changed to dry. In this cold room, you can't solve the urgent need at all.
At the thought of these, all my joy collapsed instantly, and even the last strength to support my body was taken away. My knees were weak and I almost fell down. What shall we do? This is a dead man. But it was that teenager who brought us here.
I looked at Moses again. He had already left. I looked around in surprise and saw him holding a man in the rain ten meters away from me. I rushed to help the people who fell to the ground.
This is a strange woman, wearing a layered dress worn by ancient women, which is very complicated. Although covered in mud, it can be seen that the material is very noble. Her hair hung untidily on her forehead, and the bun at the back of her head spread out and fell on her shoulders. She looks worse than me.
"Are you all right?" I asked politely, "Well, are you from the village? Why is there no one in the house here? "
The woman looked up, and I was surprised at her pale face, which was bloodless and faintly blue. The rain covered her face, which made her more ill. She looked at me blankly, then at Moses. Suddenly, her pupils dilated and she shouted in a distorted voice, "Oh, you, don't go to the small hotel behind the village. Haha, people here are cursed and will die miserably! " Then, she smiled at us, first faintly, and then began to laugh. She ran away from us while laughing wildly, and fell down after a few steps. Before we could help her, she quickly got up, continued to laugh while running, fell down and got up again ... In this way, with laughter, her staggering figure left our sight.
"Is that woman calcium deficient?" I scratched my head and said doubtfully.
"She said there is a hotel behind the village. Do you want to go?" Moses said coldly.
I paused, as if I was not used to talking to Moses suddenly. After a moment of silence, I said, "Of course, if I don't dry my clothes, I will really die miserably. Who will pay attention to that die! " Say that finish, I walked to the village. Moses followed me with an umbrella.
Really, the passing house is so quiet that I can only hear the sound of raindrops dripping. There is no smell of people in the half-closed door, only the smell of mildew, which makes me even more unhappy.
But now I can't care so much, just keep going.
Not long after I left, a big lake appeared in front of me. The branches outside the window are swaying in the strong wind, and the work around them is not wasted. This is a clearing, at night. The antique building on this floor looks isolated. Dark green, like stagnant water, even under the baptism of rain, the lake is rippling in circles, but the sense of solidification from the bottom is not fresh. On the lake, a wide board stands on the shore, which is probably a bridge.
I stepped onto the bridge. The other side of the bridge is not connected with the shore, but a two-story building, just like a floating house, which is very rare. I stepped up and jumped under the eaves in a few steps. Knock on the only door.
I looked impatient, but there was still nothing at the door. Just when I was extremely manic and wanted to kick the door, a voice mixed with the sound of rain floated up and stopped my outrageous attack at the right time.
"Hey, hey, that's our only door." A slightly shrill voice sounded overhead.
I looked up, and in the corridor on the second floor, a man was holding the railing and leaning down to look at me. It was a heavy face, and even the skin color was a healthy bronze color, which really made me wonder if that voice was from him just now.
At this time, like proof, the people upstairs spoke again, "Who are you?"
It was just "the sound of nature". Alas, we can only say that the world is big and everywhere.
I said loudly, "Let's go in first, shall we?" We are all soaked to the skin. "
The man upstairs looked at us for a while and said, "Forget it, come in."
Just then, footsteps came from the door and the door creaked open.
There was a beautiful woman behind the door, but I didn't notice. I pushed open the door and rushed in, shouting, "Sorry to bother you."
The people upstairs also came to the main hall downstairs at the moment. He crossed his hands on his chest and narrowed his eyes. "You are really forced."
I looked at the dirty body and smiled helplessly. "Can I take a bath first? I'm going to be moldy. "
The man made a gesture to the woman who just opened the door for me. "Puppy, take him to take a bath."
I followed the woman named Puppy Puppy to the bathroom and looked at her beautiful back, thinking that there were beautiful women in this terrible place.
After entering the bathroom, the tired body got the best relaxation under the washing of hot water, and relaxed at once.
I put on clean clothes and came out of the bathroom. I said to Moses refreshed, "Hey, it's your turn."
Moses put his umbrella at the door of the umbrella, put down his backpack and went into the bathroom.
Well, it seems that the owner here saw me refreshed and said slowly, "My name is Song Lian, and I am the owner of this hotel. Who are you? Not from the village. "
I nodded. "My name is especially good, Ann Moses went in to take a bath. We went to Youli Valley, but we didn't expect to get lost in the mountains and finally found this rain-proof village. "
"Leisure ideas valley? On the opposite hill. You are going in the wrong direction. " There is a touch of irony in praise.
I'm really not used to that thin, slightly high-pitched voice coming from such a rough-looking population. I frowned. "Yes, we are really unfortunate. But since you are a hotel here, we can stay, right? "
Song Lian raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Of course you can stay, but won't you regret it?"
"Regret?" I asked strangely, "I don't know what you mean."
"You also saw it on the way here. All the houses are unoccupied. Only our small hotel built on the water, there are still a few disabled people living like ants. However, one day, all the people here will somehow wonder how I can't do this. Where have you been ... aren't you afraid? "
I managed to squeeze out a smile. "Hey, hey, it's okay. We'll leave as long as we stay for one night. "
Carol put away her weird smile and recognized MSO-t MSO-t style-colband-size:;:; Really stare big eyes, "you can do whatever you want, what a boring person ... I kindly remind you, otherwise you don't even know how you died." Say that finish, cutting and roared off.
I watched him go up to the second floor and thought, "Why is it so messy here?"
At this moment, Moses came out of the bathroom. As soon as he arrived at the main hall, I heard a cry "Ha Kou Qiu". Moses rubbed his nose and sat on the sofa. As soon as he sat down, there was another "Ha Kou Qiu".
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw him cover his nose with a tissue. This fool must have caught a cold by staying in the rain for too long. I took the cold medicine out of my backpack and threw it in front of him. "Idiot, take the medicine quickly. Do you want to infect me? "
Moses took the medicine silently, lowered his head and was silent for a while. "Better, I don't feel well. This is "hey! Have you noticed? What was on the cash cow on the paper just now? "In ..."
"Hey, Jia Ming, this is my sister filar silk. She lives in the Mid-Levels Sanatorium. Jiaming Jiaming, what's wrong with you? You don't blame me for not telling you, do you? what are you reading? "It's strange that there are strangers here." A loud cry interrupted Moses.
I looked at the door, and a tall, slightly stocky man came in and smiled at me. "Oh, I really haven't seen! No one has come to our village for a long time. "
I looked at the man in front of me, taller than me, but his hair was sparse, the wrinkles on his forehead were deeply staggered, and the flesh on his cheeks was a little slack. All this shows that this man is a middle-aged man in his forties and fifties. However, his voice is still loud and unambiguous.
"I am the head of this village. Welcome to our village. " The man went over and said, what a cheerful man.
I also leaned over and said politely, "I'm sorry, we got lost on the mountain. We have to bother you for a while."
"No ... I'm glad to see new faces." The village chief patted me on the shoulder and looked at Moses sitting on the sofa. Moses looked up and gave him a calm look as a greeting.
"If you don't mind, can you tell us what happened in this village? Why did I see all the houses abandoned when I came? " I started the conversation carefully.
The village chief was dazed and seemed surprised. Then he scratched his head and smiled apologetically. "This is the thing in the village, it's really not convenient to talk to the outside.
I always feel that every wind in the city is different from the wind under the city, and it has its own breath and significance, telling some unknown stories that are lost in the world of mortals. Besides, I really don't want you to get into trouble ... "
"Hey, the village chief is back." Song Lian uncomfortable voice rang again. "Since they all asked, why not tell them?" ? Maybe they got scared and ran away without hearing. "Say that finish, he also deliberately exaggerated to put his hand over his mouth and laughed impudently.
I gave him a look of disgust. Seriously, I think Song Lian is a masked man.
The village chief looked at Song Lian awkwardly. "Well, that's right. There is no need to involve irrelevant outsiders ... well, our village was cursed fifty years ago. "
"Curse?" I cried in a low voice, and suddenly remembered what the crazy woman at the village entrance said.
"Yes, I don't know why. One year, a person suddenly disappeared from our village. At first, he didn't take it seriously, thinking that he had left the village for other places. But then, every year, a person disappears from the village, which is puzzling. He didn't say hello to his family, and there was no sign of leaving, but he disappeared overnight ... "The village chief said," Who? " She asked. Shake your head sadly.
"This is an exaggeration," I shouted incredulously. "Since people are missing every year, why not just leave the village?"
"Yes, many villagers have left the village to avoid this unpredictable disaster, but ..."
"But what?" I asked eagerly.
"However, the villagers who left came back one after another, and the bodies hung at the entrance of the village. No one was spared." Praise the folding of the village chief said, listening to his tone seems to be not important at all.
I was shocked, and it took me a long time to say, "How come? Who did this? So cruel. "
"At first, the police often came to investigate, but they got nothing. Later, they didn't even come. No matter where the missing person went, even those who left the village went to various places, one person came back every year. Well, the fourteen people who left the village came back last year, but unfortunately ... "The village chief stopped talking.
"So fourteen people have died?" I covered my mouth and suddenly felt a little sick.
"Not necessarily. We have just seen the bodies of fourteen people, and those who are missing may be dead. " Song Lian sat down beside Moses. "So, it is better to live in this village, year after year. Even if it disappears, it is better than leaving a bloody ending. "
"Why did this happen? Do you know why? " Moses asked on reflection.
"Ah ..." Song Lian raised his eyebrows and smiled mysteriously. "That's because of the curse of Kirin!"
Third, trapped old people, painful memories.
It's late at night, but I'm not sleepy at all I've been thinking about compliments-this mountain village was cursed by a man named Kirin. Since 50 years ago, one person has disappeared every year. Even if I leave the village, I can't escape bad luck. Who's that unicorn? Why did he curse the village? I have too many questions to answer, but praise will only make people feel half-hearted, and the village chief doesn't want to mention the sad past, so no one can give me an answer. Forget it, I don't want to. I can leave this troublesome place tomorrow. I don't want to stay for a moment.
It was dawn, and I packed my luggage neatly. To tell the truth, I didn't sleep well at all last night.
When I walked out of the gate, I saw Song Lian and the village head sitting at the dining table having breakfast, while the pupils were busy shuttling between the kitchen and the dining room.
"Hey, look at your dark circles. You must have been too scared to sleep last night. " Song Lian smiled as soon as he saw me coming downstairs.
Accustomed to his cynicism, I glanced at him gently and asked, "What about him?"
"Who? The man who came with you? I haven't met him yet ... "Song Lian said meaningfully:" Speaking of which, there are still vacancies this year. Do you think your friend has ... "
I was stunned and rushed upstairs to Moses' house. I pushed the door and went in without thinking. At first glance, Moses curled up in the quilt like a child.
I was relieved and went to him to help him tuck in. "How to sleep like this, won't it be difficult to breathe?" I finally pulled the quilt off my head, and I saw Moses frowning and sleeping, looking miserable. I reached out and touched his forehead. Damn, it's too hot. He must have a fever.
I rushed out of the door and shouted to the downstairs, "Is there a doctor here? Moses has a high fever. "
Village head helpless shook his head, "people disappeared, where to find ..."
"What shall we do?" I cried anxiously.
After all, the customer really placed an order again, asking for 10 thousand yuan of goods. Tang Qiang was ecstatic when he saw the order, but the customer said he wanted it tonight, but it couldn't be delivered anyway, so Tang Qiang replied quickly. "Don't worry, it's just a fever and I won't die." Praise the folding of the said don't care, after seeing my angry face, just said slowly, "looking for a doctor, there is a medical university of high flyers who is better than a doctor, right? Hey. " Said, and praised the folding of the rather ironic looking at the spirit of the pupil is coming out of the kitchen.
Perhaps angered by the praise, the expressionless pupil frowned slightly.
I asked happily, "Student, is this ok?" My friend is really uncomfortable now. "
The student took a look at me and went upstairs.
I followed her into Moses' room, and he was still sleeping. The student looked at Moses as if he were diagnosing.
I was worried and asked, "How? Never mind. "
Pupils looked up at me, walked to the table, picked up a pen and wrote on the paper. Pass it to me later.
I took the paper with some doubts, which read: Don't worry, it's nothing serious. I will cook some Chinese medicine for him. Although it will be slower, there is really no medicine that can get immediate results here. So you might stay here for a few more days.
I looked at the pupil. "You can't talk?"
Pupil spirit nodded and smiled helplessly.
I made a gesture of thanks to her, which I learned on TV.
But the pupil frowned at me as if he didn't understand.
I said strangely, "What, you can only read lips and not sign language?"
The student wrote on the paper again: "As long as you talk, I can hear you."
I said, "Thank you." She left with a wave of her hand, as if to prepare medicine.
Looking at her back, the mystery in my heart is getting bigger and bigger. I haven't ignored her "I can hear". Shouldn't deaf people who are used to reading lips say "see"?
I looked at Moses lying in bed and thought of staying here. Although it is only accidental, I always feel that I have been designed, which is very uncomfortable. It might be better if we could discuss it with Moses. It suddenly occurred to me that my relationship with Moses was a little tense. I haven't apologized for what I said to him. We haven't had a good talk.
Leaving Moses' room, I went downstairs and Song Lian had finished eating.
"The rain has stopped. Are you leaving? " He knows perfectly well past ask.
I sat in a chair. "Sorry, we have to stay a few more days."
"Well ... let's have breakfast." Song Lian pointed to the table. "This was carefully prepared by primary school students."
I sat down at the table rudely, and the village chief was pulling away and asked with concern, "How is your friend?"
I smiled gratefully. "It should be all right."
"Oh, that's good ... the rain has finally stopped, so I'm going out for a walk." The village chief nodded to me and went out.
Pupil spirit took a breakfast on the plate and walked to Song Lian. Song Lian took it and said coldly, "I'll just go." Say that finish, take breakfast upstairs, go to the room at the end of the second floor, push the door and go in.
"Whose room is that? Is there anyone else in this hotel? " I asked, standing aside and quietly staring at the pupil of praise.
Pupil Ling came to her senses and smiled apologetically at me. She took out a pen and paper and wrote: What scares Zhang Laohan most is Song Lian's grandfather, an oversized skink, lying on one side with bright yellow body and sharp teeth biting the owl's neck, which is why the owl was killed. Unfortunately, the yellow skink's neck was also caught by an owl and eventually failed to survive. It seems that my body is not convenient for activities, so I rest in my room all the year round and rely on praise for three meals a day.
That's right. I nodded and smiled at the pupils. "What you did was delicious!"
Pupil spirit dazed, and then smiled.
I looked at the students in front of me. She is really a beautiful woman, and she has a lot of temperament. Black short hair is combed behind the ear, big eyes are always full of smiles, and lips are curved, which will make a beautiful smile at any time. Probably because of the cold weather, she wears a long coat and trousers and always wears a silk scarf around her neck. Although it blocks her figure, she is very tall, more than one meter seven, and her legs must be very long.
It's a pity that her makeup is too obvious. She wears a lot of foundation and dark lipstick. Can't say that she is not good-looking, because maturity is also a kind of beauty. But I believe that if she is plain, it will be a beautiful and exquisite beauty.
If she wears a skirt, she will be more beautiful with long hair. I grinned ―― it's a gentleman's duty to appreciate beautiful women.
The room is filled with the bitter taste of traditional Chinese medicine. Let's cook medicine for Moses in the kitchen. I was moved to finish all the breakfast and went to the kitchen. I saw the students put the medicine in the bowl.
I quickly put it through. "Oh, it's too much trouble. I'll deliver it. "
