Why is my master always lost and swollen? !

"By the way, do you have any small firewood room for us to spend the night in?" Mr. Baohe asked.

Mr. Huayi said: "How can you live in the firewood house when you are here? It's just... It's really inconvenient to come to my house at this time. Otherwise, you should stay in the house from last time. After Xiaobai left The house has been vacant all along.”

"Sir, it's not that we don't have any money with us. Why do we want to live in someone else's house? Let's go to a hotel." Liu Zian said sourly.

"This city can be regarded as a big city. There are quite a few tourists who come and go every day. There may not be any vacancies for lodging at this time." Gao Lengnan said, "What's more, staying in a hotel will always be somewhat inconvenient... that house is now It’s the ward of my hospital, and it’s usually cleaned by someone, so you can check in as soon as you get there.”

"Then I'll take care of you." Mr. Baohe smiled, and stopped Liu Zian's intention to speak with his eyes.

When he arrived at the house, Liu Zian realized that the two annoying people in the car did not live with them, and he immediately felt much more at ease. In addition, the house was quite to his liking, so he happily followed The young man who led the way came to a spacious living room in the courtyard.

"Sir, why did you stop me just now? I have seen a lot of inns along the way, and there will always be vacant rooms." Liu Zian complained dissatisfiedly while rubbing his tired legs.

"What they said is not unreasonable. There are indeed a lot of inconveniences in staying in hotels. Moreover, when I came last time, I found that the prices in this city are a little higher than those in other places, so I can save money for staying in hotels for a few days. Maybe we can go to a few more places." Mr. Baohe explained.

"Sir, have you been here before?" Liu Zian was a little curious, "Sir, would you go to the same place twice?!"

"Of course." Mr. Baohe smiled awkwardly, he didn't expect that his astigmatism had reached such a level in Liu Zian's eyes, "Although I often get lost, it's okay to go to the same place twice Otherwise, how would I submit the manuscript and how would I get home?"

Thinking about it, Liu Zian couldn't help but blush a little.At the same time, the young man just now also started to arrange dinner for the two of them.Although this person looked young, his back was a bit bent, his legs and feet seemed to be inflexible, and he walked slowly.

"Shall I spread the quilt for you?" the young man asked, with a humble and respectful expression on his face.

"No, I won't bother you." Liu Zian waved his hand.

"Well, if you need anything, I'll live in the house over there." The young man pointed to a small old house, and from the angle they were in now, they could only see a rough outline.Liu Zian originally thought that this young man was a relative of those two people just now, but from this point of view, he was probably just a servant.

"By the way, there is something I want to ask you." Mr. Baohe said to the young man.

"Don't dare, don't dare. Sir, it's good to call the kid Sanqi." The young man said in fear.

"Sanqi? Well, why would someone be called Sanqi?" Liu Zian scoffed at the name.

Mr. Baohe felt that Liu Zian was being too impolite, so he patted his shoulder with his hand and shook his head.

The young man's face turned red, and he murmured, "This name was given to me by Dr. Cao..."

"That person surnamed Cao is really not a good person, how could he give someone such a name?" Liu Zian finally caught Doctor Cao's handle and pretended to be filled with righteous indignation.

"No, you misunderstood. Doctor Cao is a good man. I didn't even have a name. Doctor Cao is willing to take me in with a disability. He is a good man!" The young man retorted with a flushed face, breathing a bit because of emotion rapid.

"Doctor Cao is indeed a good man, and he has been kind to me before." Mr. Baohe said, "Just now, we saw a huge covered bridge between two cliffs. What's the name of that bridge?"

The young man remained silent, staring at Mr. Baohe's face.Liu Zian thought that the young man didn't hear clearly, and was about to repeat it again, but the man suddenly opened his eyes and said, "You mean the covered bridge? Really?"

"Well, that's right, it's the covered bridge." Mr. Baohe nodded affirmatively.

"That's weird..." The young man frowned in confusion.

"What's wrong?" Liu Zian asked.

"That bridge collapsed as early as 20 years ago. However, travelers who pass by often say that they will see that bridge at night. However, anyone who walks over that bridge without knowing the situation is said to be at last None of them came back."

The light of the oil lamp is not as bright as the lantern with candles. In the darkness, Sanchi had a sullen face with a solemn expression. A sense of oppression and terror permeated the room with the smell of the burning oil lamp...

After Sanqi left, the atmosphere in the house eased a little. Mr. Baohe sat in front of the oil lamp and threaded needles, intending to mend Liu Zian's torn clothes.But judging by his appearance, he is obviously not good at this.Sew the end of the thread without tying a knot, and it's all wasted work in the end.Even so, he continued to sew unknowingly, and at some point, the stitches landed on the clothes he was wearing.Liu Zi'an thought to himself, it seems that Mr. Baohe's lost his way is really not caused by it, even if he sews a piece of clothing, the needle will get lost in his hand.

"Sir, you can leave that ragged dress alone, don't worry about it." Liu Zian forced a smile and said.

"But, what a pity." Mr. Baohe seemed to want to make one last effort.

"Sir, it's not like we don't have money. At worst, we can buy another one tomorrow."

Mr. Baohe sighed, put the needle and thread on the table, and said: "The light from the oil lamp is too dim, I can't do needlework, and I can't see clearly what I'm holding."

Liu Zian rolled his eyes and said, "Sir, don't argue anymore. Even in the daytime, you will still get lost, right? So I don't think this matter has much to do with the light. It's the matter of the covered bridge, you What do you think?"

"How else can I look at it? If the young man's words are true, they can't be written in the book. Alas, it's just another joy." Mr. Baohe stretched his waist and said.

The two turned off the lights and fell asleep.In the dark room, you can hear the rustling of leaves outside.

"Did we see the ghost of the bridge?" Liu Zian asked.He felt that the collapsed bridge would reappear at night, isn't it like a ghost?In the strange stories circulating on the market, there are not a few people who talk about human ghosts, and there are many ghosts who have mentioned mountain and forest ghosts, but this is the first time I have seen the ghost of the bridge.

"Sir, do you think writing this story as a ghost story will become popular?" After Liu Zian asked, he thought again, how many bridges there are in this world, since this bridge can be a ghost bridge, maybe other bridges can also be. .If all broken bridges turned into ghosts, it would not be surprising that there were many people who had seen ghost bridges in the world.

Mr. Baohe's breath gradually became heavy, and he never gave an answer to Liu Zian's question.

"Then I'll sleep too." Liu Zian said in peace, but when he closed his eyes, he tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.Did the bridge really exist, or did my husband and I hallucinate?If it really exists, what is on the other side of the bridge?Just when Liu Zian was about to fall asleep in a daze, he suddenly heard some movement outside the door.He opened the door and came to the veranda, only to see the young man named Sanqi standing outside.

"Can you please take me to the covered bridge?" Sanqi asked Liu Zian on her knees.

"Uh, you mean the ghost bridge?"

"Yes."

"why?"

"Before, there was a traveler who saw the bridge just like you, and he said he saw a figure on the bridge."

"Shadow?"

Sanqi pressed his forehead to the ground and raised it after a while.

"A lot of people died when that bridge crashed."

"Did the bridge collapse while people were passing over it?"

"Yeah, probably because of the heavy rain during that time, the rain soaked the wood. However, the figure on the bridge must be the person who died in that accident, there is nothing wrong with it."

"how do you know?"

"I have evidence."

"What evidence?

"The traveler said that there is a woman in red in the figure on the bridge, who is beautifully dressed."

There was actually a hint of crying in Sanqi's voice.

"so what?"

"I know that woman. That...that must be my mother!"

"Ah?!" Liu Zian was taken aback by Sanqi's words.

"My mother was a prostitute back then, and I don't know who my father is. Originally, according to the tradition of prostitutes, I couldn't have been born, but... I was an accident. That day, my mother went to visit an official's house on the other side of the bridge, you know Well, it was the kind of 'guest'. Later, it rained heavily, and my mother was afraid that I would be alone at home, so she hurried back as soon as the banquet over there was over. When she passed the covered bridge, she came out The accident happened. I was at home and didn't see it with my own eyes. I only heard the huge bang when the bridge collapsed..."

"But now, even if you go to that ghost bridge and see your mother who has been dead for many years, what can you do?"

"I just want to see her again. Once a person dies and is no longer in this world, will he not be able to see her again? After so many years, I have long forgotten what my mother looked like. With the accumulation of new memories, Mother's face has also been driven out of my mind... I always feel like this, I am very sorry for Mother."

"Excuse me..."

Liu Zian thought that if one day his relatives passed away, and when he wanted to miss him but found that he couldn't remember their appearance at all, he would be very sad...

"But don't you still remember the location of that bridge? Can't you just go there by yourself?"

"With my current legs and feet, walking the mountain road is too strenuous. I also begged the people in the village to carry me, but they were all afraid of the elusive bridge, and no one wanted to take me there."

Sanqi looked a little sad.

"I also refused. Although your story is very touching, it is a bit too troublesome to carry people on the mountain road in the middle of the night."

"Well, I thought that as a student of that gentleman, you would also be an adventurous person."

"I originally thought..." Liu Zian suddenly thought of Gao Lengnan's words "You are not worthy", and a flame burst into his heart, and he said, "Just go, let's go now!"

The road stretches forward along the trend of the mountain. To prevent slipping, Liu Zian carefully moves forward.

As before, under the thick fog, it is impossible to see the road ahead.Sanqi has been silent since the very beginning, if it wasn't for the temperature, Liu Zian would have doubted that he was gone.However, although he couldn't see anything in the darkness, Liu Zian seemed to be able to hear the gurgling sound of the river flowing in the distance.

Before going out, he casually took a piece of clothing and put it on, but he didn't expect it to be Mr. Baohe's half mended clothes. At this moment, the wind was blowing in through the hole, making it chilly.

"Hey, what are you going to say when I see your mother later?" Liu Zian couldn't stand the silence, and asked.

"I don't know..." Sanqi replied with a dull voice.

Seeing that Sanqi didn't want to talk to him, Liu Zian stopped looking for words, shut up and continued on his way in silence.

After walking into the forest, the moon is hidden among the lush branches and leaves, and the surroundings look even darker.Liu Zian walked forward by the light of the lantern, holding the lantern in his right hand and supporting Sanqi's body with his left hand.In the depths of the jungle on the hillside, there was the sound of a wild beast.The mountain wind blew past, making a whimpering sound like a ghost howling, and the branches swayed left and right, rustling.Liu Zian regretted a little, thinking that he shouldn't just agree to other people's requests on the spur of the moment.Right now, Mr. Baohe should be sleeping soundly in his mansion in the city. If he encounters any danger, he can be regarded as not being able to do it every day.
