National Rare Monster Illustrated Book
Chapter 17 Shadow
The cold wind was blowing at the entrance of the train station, which was crowded with people. When checking in the ticket, Shen Qing was bumped by a girl in a hurry.
"I'm sorry I'm sorry."
It was a pretty-looking girl, dragging a suitcase, with a hasty look on her face, "I just looked at the road and didn't notice anyone, sorry, did it hurt you?"
Shen Qing shook her head, motioning for her to get in the car first.
"Thank you."
The girl showed a grateful look, and got on the train with the suitcase in both hands.
A few minutes later, Shen Qing saw her again beside her.
The girl was struggling to hold the suitcase and put it on the luggage rack. Coincidentally, she was located across the aisle from Shen Qing.
"...Eh, it's you again?"
The suitcase suddenly became much lighter. The girl turned her head in surprise, and saw the good-looking young man she met just now stepped forward without saying a word, and helped her put the suitcase on the luggage rack.
"What a coincidence, are you sitting here? Thank you."
The girl said to him with a good impression, "I have potato chips here, do you want it?"
She opened a bag of potato chips and handed it to Shen Qing.
Shen Qing said "no", his attitude was indifferent, and the girl didn't mind too much, she put the potato chips on the small table, took out her mobile phone and made a call.
"Where are you? I've arrived...well, yes, have you gotten on the train yet? Where?"
The girl stood up with one hand on the table, leaned forward and looked ahead.
"I stood up, did you see me...Huh?"
Her phone was hung up, the girl looked at the phone screen strangely, and took a step outside.
"I'm here!"
As if she saw the person she was waiting for, a big smile appeared on her face, but in the next second, her smile froze for a moment.
"I see, what are you arguing about?"
A tall and thin young man walked over with a suitcase, his face was full of impatience, and beside him was a petite and cute girl with curly hair, who was holding his arm affectionately, with a sweet smile on her face.
"Cousin, why are you so angry? It's because you are too slow, making people wait for so long."
The girl in the seat frowned and said, "Han Zhe, who is this?"
Han Zhe didn't respond, and sat down beside her.The curly-haired girl beside him was sitting in the empty seat next to Shen Qing, holding her chin and smilingly said: "Sister Chu Qing, hello, I'm Han Zhe's cousin Zheng Linlin, I often hear Han Zhe mentioning you."
Chu Qing: "..."
She turned her head to look at Han Zhe: "Why didn't I know you have a cousin?"
"You don't know much."
Han Zhe gave a "tsk" and turned his head away to ignore her.
"I didn't know cousin Han Zhe very well before, sister, please don't get me wrong,"
Zheng Linlin said in a soft voice, "I was just going on the way with my cousin, but my aunt insisted on letting me stay at my cousin's house. I really can't shirk it——I will ask sister Chu Qing to take care of me more after all, after all, I If you are unfamiliar with the place, you might have to trouble Cousin Han Zhe and you for anything."
She paused, seeing that Chu Qing didn't pay much attention to herself, she smiled again: "Sister, you don't despise me, do you? I'm usually very quiet, and I won't disturb the two-person world between you and your cousin—what do you say?" Isn't it, cousin?"
She went to pull Han Zhe's hand affectionately, Chu Qing's face turned cold, and she opened her mouth to say something——
Shen Qing turned her head without the slightest interest, and said to Du Hao'an by the window: "I'll change places with you."
"it is good."
Du Hao'an, who was watching the excitement, stood up and exchanged seats with Shen Qing. His Taoist attire was actually quite eye-catching, but he was obviously used to it, and it didn't affect him.
The train is equipped with air-conditioning, and the cabin is warm.Shen Qing leaned against the window and closed her eyes to rest, blocking out all the noisy sounds.
It was difficult to fall asleep on the train, so he just lazily lowered his eyes, and temporarily sank himself into a silent world—after an unknown period of time, a strong aroma of vegetables wafted from the side.
Shen Qing was seriously disturbed by this smell, he opened his eyes, and saw Du Hao'an was holding a boxed lunch with his head bowed to pick up vegetables, and there was a similar boxed lunch in front of him.
"It's noon,"
Seeing that he was awake, Du Hao'an opened the lunch box for him, "I bought you a meal, I don't know if you will eat it or not."
Shen Qing stared at the pile of decent-looking lunch boxes in front of him for two seconds, and said, "Thank you."
He tentatively took a piece of meat and put it in his mouth... He put down his chopsticks silently.
"Not used to it?"
Du Haoan was still cooking rice, "Well, do you want instant noodles? Ham sausage, bread, milk and spicy sticks—"
Shen Qing: "No, no need."
"Oh, okay."
Du Haoan said, "By the way, you just fell asleep and didn't see that the girl across the way had a falling out with her boyfriend and got off the train halfway. Sigh, the current scumbag is really..."
The train passed through the tunnel, and it was pitch black outside the window.Han Zhe across the aisle fell asleep with his head tilted. Zheng Linlin leaned on his shoulder. Although his eyes were closed, the posture of his head was not natural.
The light from the tunnel shone in from outside and flashed across Zheng Linlin's face.At that moment, her face showed an extremely abnormal dead gray, her skin was blue and purple, without a trace of blood.
A little casual sarcasm appeared in Shen Qing's eyes, he looked away, and continued to listen to Du Haoan's rambling.
In the afternoon, a blizzard blew up outside, and the train was forced to stop.Some people in the carriage knocked on melon seeds and complained, while others took out their mobile phones to take pictures of the snow scene outside.
"Did you know? There is a famous ghost village near here."
In the front row of the carriage, a young man was chatting enthusiastically with his companions, "There was a fire in the village decades ago, and none of the nearly a hundred people in the village escaped. The scene was so tragic. Later, people in this area You can often see some figures, those villagers who died in the fire..."
"Just kidding, how can no one escape."
Someone next to him laughed and said, "These gossips about gods and ghosts are fake when you hear them, but you still believe them."
"It's better to believe what you have than to believe what you don't have,"
The young man said, "Maybe I'm...wait a minute, there's someone over there!"
"Who are you scaring, we are not stupid."
"No, there are real people!"
The young man Huo stood up, "It's a child!"
His companion looked in the direction he pointed, only to see a child who appeared out of the window at some unknown time, holding the car window and staring at them faintly.
The girl by the window screamed in fright, and bumped into her companion's arms when she stepped back.
This call attracted the attention of many passengers around, and a middle-aged woman said "Ouch": "Whose child is wearing so little!"
The child's face was pale, he was only wearing a tattered unlined garment, and his pair of black eyes were cold and dull.
"A vagrant..."
The girl from just now leaned back slowly, "You can see that his face has turned pale from the cold, let's give him something to eat."
"are you crazy!"
An impatient voice sounded, and it was Han Zhe, "You have to show love to any cat or dog you meet. What if there is an infectious disease! What if it hurts all of us! You really think of yourself as a saint!"
Zheng Linlin beside him also said coquettishly: "And it's so cold with the window open, you'll catch a cold, can you take care of other people?"
"You are the ones who are sick!"
The young man said, "Can you shut up, little scumbag? You can get in your way even at such a distance, do you treat yourself like a master?"
His companion echoed: "Just now I saw that you were not pleasing to the eye, your face is really big."
Han Zhe's face changed, Zheng Linlin quickly took his arm to comfort him softly, and leaned on him intimately again.
The young man ignored them. He took off his down jacket and stuffed it to the girl by the window. The girl opened the car window and gave the clothes and a bag of snacks to the child outside: "Take it."
The child took the things and looked at her in silence for a while, then turned and ran away.
The young man smiled and said, "You ran so fast, you didn't even say thank you... Hey, are those his family?"
Hundreds of meters away, a row of dark figures appeared in the field of vision.Old or young, male or female, they stood silently in the wind and snow, looking towards the train from afar.
The girl by the window raised the camera to her eyes, took a look and immediately put it down.
She whispered to her companion: "They... they seem to be wearing clothes from the previous era..."
companion:"……"
He tugged the young man to sit him down, and said nonchalantly, "Come on, let's play poker."
The child just now was an episode to most of the passengers in the carriage, only Du Haoan, who had watched the whole process, turned around and whispered to Shen Qing, "If you ignored that little ghost just now, all the big ghosts will They must be entangled with us. I think those people have good looks and kind hearts, and they will have good fortune in the future."
Shen Qing said: "Not necessarily."
"what?"
"That young man will have a catastrophe, just tonight."
Shen Qing said lightly, "Whether he can live or not depends entirely on himself."
Du Hao'an: "...can you explain clearly why I feel so scared."
"I can't say clearly, I just have a hunch."
"That--"
Du Haoan wanted to ask something more, but was interrupted by Shen Qing's gesture, so he had no choice but to stop asking.
It didn't take long for the wind and snow to stop miraculously, the train was able to start again before dark, and the atmosphere in the carriage became lively again.
Zheng Linlin got up at this moment and went to the bathroom, saying she was not feeling well.Han Zhe didn't pay much attention at first, but when she came back, she felt something was wrong.
"How did you do this?"
Zheng Linlin's face was pale, water was still dripping from the tip of her hair, and there was a circle of horrible bruises around her slender neck for some reason.
"Nothing, what's the matter?"
Zheng Linlin unconsciously showed him a sweet smile, "Is there anything wrong with me, cousin?"
Han Zhe: "..."
"Don't ignore me."
Zheng Linlin wanted to hold his arm affectionately, but Han Zhe quickly avoided it.
"Look at you, it's all water and you're still leaning over..."
The rest of the words were automatically muted, Han Zhe looked at Zheng Linlin's beautiful face, and his eyes slowly opened wide.
He finally understood where that strange feeling came from.
There was no one on the car window behind Zheng Linlin.
She... has no shadow.
"I'm sorry I'm sorry."
It was a pretty-looking girl, dragging a suitcase, with a hasty look on her face, "I just looked at the road and didn't notice anyone, sorry, did it hurt you?"
Shen Qing shook her head, motioning for her to get in the car first.
