This year's winter was extremely cold, with several blizzards in a row, the artificial lake not far from the orphanage was already frozen thick, and people could often see people skating on it, pulling sledges, and smoking ice monkeys.
Duledin is wearing a pair of cotton mittens, embroidered with warm yellow ducklings, but most of them have been frayed, especially the mouth part, which looks like a duckling who can't speak out like him .He leaned on the window sill on tiptoe, staring at the dark ice in a daze.
The orphanage is not allowed to go out privately, no matter how much these children yearn for it, they can only watch helplessly.
People say that seven or eight-year-old dogs are disgusting. Du Leding is at this "beautiful" age, and he is obviously not the kind of child who is willing to just look away and obey discipline.
He secretly found a few pairs of skates in a large pile of donations not long ago and hid them under the bed. He only waited for a suitable opportunity and slipped out to experience the joy of skating on the ice.
The teachers and aunts of the orphanage seem to have a meeting tonight, which seems perfect.
Not long after, two little heads poked through the door of the room.
Shen Yu whispered to Du Leding, "Tail, shall we go now?"
When Du Leding was a child, he was very small and thin, as if he had been treated harshly. Generally, teachers in orphanages were embarrassed to let him show up for any activities.
A child with a thin body has a big head, and Dulotin looks like a tack, so everyone else calls it that.
Du Leding nodded, ran under the bed and dragged out three pairs of skates, and distributed them to the other two.He hung the skates around his neck, gesticulated, and explained the "escape" route to the two of them, as well as things to pay attention to along the way.
In order to communicate with Du Leding, Shen Yu has been taking sign language lessons with him, and now he is watching seriously and nodding frequently.
Zhao Cheng didn't know what he was gesticulating, and he looked impatient: "Fortunately, you are dumb, otherwise you would be too long-winded."
Du Leding has heard this kind of words no less than a hundred times, and he has long since ignored it.The three of them got ready, and sneaked out of the dormitory according to the established route.
Once out of the gate, the cold wind was like a knife, cutting people's faces with pain, no matter how thick they were dressed, they would be frozen through in an instant.
It was a kind of cold that could penetrate even the cracks in the bones.But Du Le Ding was too excited, he fought against the cold wind with his heart full of excitement, trotted to the bottom of the wall, and turned his head to signal Shen Yu and Zhao Cheng to follow.
The three silly boys moved bricks to step on their feet, climbed over the wall, and rushed to the lake like a charge, and couldn't wait to put on their ice skates.
It was inconvenient for Du Leding to tie his shoelaces while wearing mittens. He was about to take off the little yellow duck gloves when Shen Yu knelt down to help him tie his shoelaces.
Boss Zhao Cheng was unwilling: "He's dumb, and it's not like he doesn't have hands and feet. Why are you helping him?"
Shen Yu shook his hands in front of Zhao Cheng's eyes: "I wear five-fingered gloves, which are more convenient."
Zhao Cheng stretched his foot forward: "You are so convenient, help me tie it too!"
Shen Yu kicked him lightly: "You are the oldest here, why are you the most childish?"
Shen Yu has always matured precociously, and behaves like a child in her teens.For Du Le Ding's sneaking out to skate this time, Shen Yu refused at first, but he knew that with Du Le Ding's unstoppable temperament, he could not stop him no matter what, so he had to play around with him.
The skates on Du Leding's feet were bigger than his feet, and his clothes were empty.The tip of his nose was red, and he "chopped" from the grass to the ice with a sway, and kicked his legs hard, but he couldn't move forward.
His posture was exaggerated, as if he was showing his teeth and claws. Within a few minutes, he fell on his back several times.
Zhao Cheng's motor cells were active and he adapted quickly, and he was already able to circle around like that. When he passed by Du Leding, he let out a series of undisguised laughs.
Shen Yu had done her homework in advance and had a wealth of theoretical knowledge, so she told Du Leding to focus forward and not to sit back.But he himself was not much better, trembling like an old lady crossing the road.
Zhao Cheng slid to Shen Yu's side, poked left and right, laughing and joking.
Du Leding stared at Zhao Cheng's legs for a while, got up and continued to try, and gradually found a little feeling, and slid forward for a while, very excitedly turning his head to show off.
Zhao Cheng was teaching Shen Yu how to use strength, both of them looked down at their feet, and no one paid attention to Du Leding.
The dumb are incapable of attracting attention with their voices, and when neglected, they dissolve into the air like a transparent gas.
Du Leding opened his mouth, put down his raised hand, turned his head and continued to stumbling.
As he slid further and further away, he felt as light as the rabbit in the cartoon, almost flying, and even the cold wind that hit his face became so comfortable.
"Tail, don't slip into the middle of the lake, come back quickly!"
Shen Yu's voice came from a distance, Du Leding turned his head excitedly and waved, suddenly his feet were empty, and he fell into the hole dug out by the ice fishermen.
The moment he entered the water, Du Leding knew that there was something colder than the winter wind in this world, and the heart-piercing chill instantly enveloped him.
However, soon, that coldness disappeared, and with it, his panicked struggle.
He sank slowly in the darkness, as if he would never reach the bottom...
"Ding, dear passengers, the train will arrive at Namoya Station in 10 minutes. Passengers who get off the train should get ready."
Du Leding shivered and woke up from his sleep.It was hazy outside the car window, and it rained at some point, and even the temperature in the car dropped very low, making goose bumps on his arms.
The town he was going to was blocked by the government for some reason, so he could only fly to a nearby city and then take a train instead.He was disturbed by the illusory singing last night, whether it was real or hallucination, he didn't sleep much. After getting in the car, he was sleepy for a while, and fell asleep on the seat.
Unexpectedly, I dreamed about my childhood memories.
He sat in a daze for a while before recovering, and sang out of boredom: Everythingthatdrownsmemakesmewannafly...
"Drink something hot." Su Teng put a steaming cup of coffee in front of Du Leding.
Du Leding looked sleepy, picked it up and took a few sips, and suddenly felt a warmth flowing through his limbs, and his whole body came alive from the ice hole.
Su Teng sat down beside him, and took out a computer that was as thin as a piece of paper. He didn't know what he was looking at.Girls passing by often looked at him, and some even approached him blatantly to strike up a conversation. He didn't even lift his head, and refused people thousands of miles away with a cold attitude. Finally, he put on the protective goggles in annoyance.
Du Leding propped his face with one hand, squinted at the handsome guy next to him who was "attracting bees and attracting butterflies", and thought that he was entangled by the archaeological team.
He planned to leave early in the morning, but the breakfast made by Dubin was really rich and attractive, so he ate his fill before setting out on the road.Unexpectedly, when they walked out of the gate, the levitation vehicle of the archaeological team was already waiting outside the gate. Knight, Snow, and Zhou Ruxu were many of them, and of course Su Teng was also there.
Charlie, who was still angry at first, suddenly jumped up excitedly, hugged Su Teng's thigh without letting go, and said cheekily, "I know the male god will not abandon me", "The male god is so kind to accompany me to explore in person", He seemed to have forgotten what he said the night before.
Du Le Ding was looking for opportunities to separate from them along the way, but with the archaeological team, everything was more convenient and smooth. They had formal procedures, sufficient funds and equipment, which seemed more reliable than those unknown things in his backpack. many.
Born at the wrong time - Du Leding sighed silently.I was stunned for a while, and couldn't help asking Su Teng: "Why did you go to Mixington Town?"
Su Teng: "Same as you."
Du Leding: "My purpose is to find the ancient tomb of Wushan, capture the shadow, solve the mystery of the disappearance of the wound, and prevent myself from going mad and dying like Grom, or falling into a deep sleep like Yang Han."
Su Teng turned his head slightly, and a symbol appeared on the protective glasses: ^^
Du Leding: "..."
Su Teng once said that he was not familiar with Yang Han.Even if you are not familiar with an archaeological team, then you can only be considered acquainted with Du Leding.Duledin didn't think they would take risks for someone they had just met, presumably the town had some history worth discovering.
He still wanted to talk to Su Teng again, Zhou Ruxu and Snow came back from another carriage, and it seemed that something good had happened.
Zhou Ruxu sat down opposite Su Teng, but faced Du Leding and said: "Car No. 99 is a bar, and the owner is a rare beauty."
This suspended train has a total of 99 carriages, which are all controlled by an intelligent system. Except for stops in 26 cities and 43 towns, it will never stop traveling along a loop.
In addition to 66 seats and box-style soft sleepers, the other 33 cars are restaurants, bars, and shops just like the ground. Even if you don’t return to the city for a few years, you can live a normal life on this train.
Zhou Ruxu continued: "Would you like to go and see, maybe there will be 'benefits' on this train journey."
Looking at the way his eyes are shining, it seems that he is looking forward to a passionate encounter with a big beauty.
Snow said angrily, "I saw her first, so don't you have Knight?"
Zhou Ruxu gave him a white look: "You see a fart, do you dare to talk to her?"
Snow was at a loss for words for a moment.Zhou Ruxu said again: "Besides, what do you mean I have Knight, is Knight mine?"
As he said that, he rushed to Knight who was playing cards with Charlie on the other side of the aisle and showed a greasy smile: "Honey, how about a drink?"
Knight didn't even look up: "Go away."
Zhou spread his hands like this, which meant that it was obvious that Knight was not his.Picking up girls and girls requires assistants. Naturally, this difficult task cannot be entrusted to Snow, who is misophobic, let alone Su Teng, who freezes everywhere he goes.
It seems that Duleding is really the most suitable.
Du Leding stood up and said, "Come on, show me how big and beautiful the beauty is."
Su Teng obviously had no intention of giving way, raised his head and said coldly: "Are you very interested?"
Du Leding was naturally interested in beauties, but besides that, there was another very important reason.
A bar, and a bar on a train, must have customers coming and going from north to south.No matter who it is, in the face of beauties and alcohol, the nerves will relax, and they can't help talking about travel experiences and life insights.
The town of Mixington was on the train's route, and travelers must have been there.As the owner of the bar, she is simply a transfer station for various information, and she might get some information about Mixington from her.
Du Leding and Zhou Ruxu walked to the No. 99 carriage, and found that Snow and Su Teng were also following behind.
Zhou Ruxu asked Snow: "What are you doing, to see how the beauty falls for me?"
Snow: "Look at how you were kicked out of the car by the big beauty."
Du Leding asked Su Teng: "Why are you suddenly interested?"
Su Teng: ΘΘ
Du Leding didn't understand what this symbol conveyed, he just felt baffled.The four men passed through the carriages and finally came to No. 99. As soon as they opened the door, they seemed to have entered another world.
The ambiguous light, swaying light and shadow, indulgent laughter, and charming wine fragrance combine into a special magic power, which slows down the pace of time and makes people's hearts flutter.
Du Leding was letting his eyes wander around, when a burst of laughter came from directly in front of him.
At the end of the carriage was a metal pipe propped between the roof and the ground, and a man wearing only a pair of underwear was tied to it. His face was pale, his lips trembled, and he kept asking for help from the people around him.
There was a man in the crowd who obviously drank too much. He raised the wine bottle in his hand and poured the wine on the naked man. Lele, come on, let's do a pole dance!"
The man in the underwear turned pale and tried to dodge.The drunk seemed to be teasing him, extending the lighter to his left for a while, and then to the right for a while.Several times when the flames were about to burn, the man in the underwear jumped up and ran away with an "Aww", like a frightened monkey.
Some of the people around were watching the fun and booing, some were watching coldly, and no one wanted to meddle in their own business.
The drunk man was a little annoyed, and he poked the fire in his hand at the man in underwear, and it was about to burn, when he heard a piercing sound, and then there was a sharp pain in his tiger's mouth, which made him let go on a conditioned reflex hands.
The lighter fell down.The drunk shook his head and looked around on the ground. Except for the lighter, only a coin was shining.
The laughter stopped abruptly, and the group of people froze in time, leaving a dazed look on their faces.
The train entered the tunnel, and then went out again. In just a few seconds, Du Leding had already untied the hands of the man in underwear embracing the steel pipe.
The drunk blushed, picked up the coin from the ground, and shouted at Du Leding: "You, are you..."
Du Leding snatched back the coin and said with a smile: "That's right, it's my coin, thank you for picking up the money."
"Damn you..." The drunk went from dazed to angry, his tongue was tied up and he couldn't speak, and his fists were gesticulating in the air.
Du Leding was neither afraid of him scolding, nor afraid of his making a move, so he calmly let him stare at him.Su Teng was standing next to him, and the cold air from his body was lower than the temperature on a rainy day.
The man in the underwear quickly picked up the scattered clothes on the ground. Seeing that the situation was not good, he immediately grabbed the drunk man's arm, hurriedly thanked and apologized to Du Leding, and dragged the drunk man out of the No. 99 carriage.
Seeing that they had no fun, the onlookers also dispersed.
Zhou Ruxu said: "If I were that man in underwear, I wouldn't bother with that drunk at all, and just let someone beat him up."
Snow: "Why don't you take off your clothes and let's replay what happened just now?"
Zhou Ruxu: "I will take off my clothes, but not in front of you." As he said that, he turned his eyes towards the bar, seeing that he wanted to take off his clothes in front of another person.
There was only one customer sitting at the bar, wearing a hoodie, a hat, and a mask on his face.From the perspective of gender, he is definitely not a target like Zhou.
Standing behind the bar was a woman, her dress was covered with coquettish dark flowers, her hair was coiled behind her head, revealing a round oval face and slender fair neck, a pair of fox-like smiling winking eyes, and a delicate crown on her chin. mole.
The boss was indeed extraordinarily beautiful, enchanting, and touching, exuding a mature femininity from his whole body.In addition, she is obviously a descendant of the earth, so Du Leding felt kind to her no matter what she saw.
The four went to the bar and sat down, and the masked man got up and left with a whole bottle of wine.
Snow looked at the guest who got up and left curiously, and said in a low voice, "This man is weird. Since he is wearing a mask, he probably doesn't want people to see what he looks like. Why do he still come to a bar where there are so many people? .”
Zhou Ruxu said: "You are so wide-ranging, what if his nose and mouth are not fully grown!"
Sometimes Snow really wanted to slap him twice: "Wearing a mask means you don't have a nose and mouth, but Su Teng wears goggles, but you don't have eyes!"
The pair of live treasures started to fight again, but Du Leding subconsciously glanced at Su Teng.
In the bleak starlight last night, a stream of light slid across, breaking the chaos of reality and dreams.The humming stopped abruptly, and the bedroom door was not pushed open.
Du Leding managed to get rid of the state of ghost pressing the bed, and immediately jumped out of bed and ran out to investigate, but there was no one in the corridor.
He walked around the upper and lower floors, but found nothing unusual, but found a door with a different style from other rooms at the end of the corridor on the second floor.
On the metal plate on the door, there are round bumps the size of rice grains, which at first glance seem to be arranged irregularly.
Most of the orphanages are disabled children. Du Leding saw some children learn this kind of graphics when he was young.It is not accurate to say that it is a graphic, because it is actually text, Braille.
Su Teng is not blind, why did he use Braille to mark his room?
But after thinking about it, he is still not dumb, and he still uses sign language often!
I don't know what's in that room, maybe it's full of corpses like Bluebeard.Su Teng's body was surrounded by a layer of inextricable mist, and there was a mysterious box hidden inside. Before opening it, no one knew what would pop out of it.
Du Leding was thinking about all kinds of mysteries about Su Teng when the boss came over.
Her slender fingers are holding the slender cigarette rod, she is indescribably charming and soft, her red lips are lightly parted, exhaling white smoke, and she said in a mocking tone: "What a handsome 'Virgin Tiantuan', what a rare grandeur! scene."
Du Leding blurted out: "Beauty, you have the eyes of an old driver!"
Zhou Ruxu almost choked on his own saliva. He didn't want to appear inexperienced in the eyes of the beauties, so he immediately argued, "I'm not like these brats. The girls call me a prodigal son."
The boss laughed loudly, and pointed at Snow: "Femalephobia."
Another finger pointed at Zhou Ruxu: "I am passionate about myself."
Pointing at Su Teng again: "Insulator."
Finally, her eyes fell on Du Leding, and she looked at the collar on his neck playfully, as if she had made up a lot of R18 things in her brain.
Du Leding's brain was short-circuited, and he pointed to Su Teng and said, "I'm not a pervert, he forced me to wear it."
The boss nodded knowingly: "So you guys like to play slave games, it's very interesting."
Du Leding squeezed out a not-so-kind smile, and shook his head at Su Teng: "Don't you want to explain?"
Su Teng: ~~
The profane symbol didn't help at all, but made the boss smile even deeper.Du Leding was about to speak to defend, but a familiar bullet screen appeared in front of him, and he could feel the excitement of the fans through the light screen.
Barrage: The boss is not only beautiful, but also very discerning.
Barrage: Su Teng looks cold on the surface, but he is actually very boring~~
Barrage: Our Ding Ding is shy again, and he said no, but his body must be very honest.
Du Le Ding looked down, Charlie did not know when to come.He jumped onto Dule Ding's lap, clawed at the bar and said to the boss, "I want a glass of juice with an umbrella on it!"
Du Le Ding Xu grabbed Charlie's neck: "It's really time, aren't you playing cards with Knight?"
Charlie said: "Nate went back to the box to watch a movie, and I decided to do some man things with you."
"Men want to fight, do you want to fight?" Du Leding glanced at the headache barrage, and slapped the bar, "Give me a glass of wine, the strongest kind."
The boss served drinks to all five of them, and said with a smile, "I was joking with you just now, where are you going?"
She must have asked this kind of question countless times, and the answer was nothing more than the dozens of stations that the train passed.
Zhou Ruxu was about to answer, but Du Leding said first, "Treiding Town."
The boss leaned on the wine rack with a smile on his lips: "That place is nice, there are many pastures, are you traveling?"
"That's right," Du Leding took a sip of his wine, "I heard that the air over there is good and the scenery is good, and you can go hunting in the mountains and forests."
The boss flicked ash in the ashtray: "Hunting is banned now, and the mountains and forests have also been sealed."
Although Du Leding knew it long ago, he was surprised: "No, I have practiced shooting for a month!"
At this time, the train entered the tunnel again, and it was pitch black outside the window.After getting out of the tunnel, the boss motioned them to look out.
There are many mountains in this area, and there are many mountains outside the window, and it is dark under the moisture of the mountain rain.The boss said: "Do you know the town of Mixington?"
Du Le Ding nodded: "I've heard that it's next door to Treying, but it seems to be blocked by the army. What does this have to do with Treying's ban on hunting?"
The boss said leisurely: "Mixington Town used to be a very big town, and there was only one mountain nearby. Two years ago, a mountain forest suddenly appeared out of thin air, engulfing most of the town. Now the ruins of Mixington are located in the valley, and it looks inverted. It's like a small village."
As she spoke, she pointed to a mountain in the distance outside the window: "That's the mountain, Giant Belly Mountain."
Du Leding walked to the window and looked into the distance.
The drizzle was whirling in the mountains, and a layer of water vapor on the car window dimly reflected his shocked expression.
The mountain lived up to its name and had a big belly.This peculiar outline gave him a feeling of deja vu.
The boss has been running the bar on the train for nearly ten years and has read countless people. He has heard various stories from passengers and told them to other passengers.Her voice is like a retro blues, telling the history of the town of Mixington.
Miller Star was once invaded by Zerg, and the war continued, even a remote town was not spared.All the men in Mixington took up arms and went to the battlefield, leaving only the old and young women and children waiting at home.
Although Star Miller drove away the Zerg in the end, the situation was very unfavorable at the beginning of the war, and it could be said that they were retreating steadily.News of the death came back to their hometown one after another, causing the families of the soldiers to cry bitterly.To commemorate loved ones who died in the war, the women of Mixington began making dolls.
They make dolls that are exactly like real people based on the appearance and body shape of their relatives.These puppets are placed in houses, on streets, and all over the town. It seems that those who died have returned and are still living normally as before.
After the war, this tradition was still preserved, and it also attracted many tourists, making the town's tourism industry gradually develop.
After the Giant Belly Mountain appeared inexplicably, those who survived continued to live there for a while, and then left one after another.Back when the town was alive and well, the dolls on the streets looked smiling.Now the valley is lifeless, and the sunlight cannot penetrate the perennial fog. Under such circumstances, those puppets look weird.
Du Le Ding sat back at the bar, pretending to be stupid on purpose: "Just because the doll looks scary, the army blocked the whole valley?"
"Of course not." The boss's slender fingertips slowly rubbed along the rim of the glass, and the wine in the glass sparkled under the ambiguous light, trembling slightly like her eyes. The people did not move away, but disappeared."
Just when I heard the critical moment, the door of the carriage was opened, and a group of middle-aged men poured in, clamoring to watch the game, and they all rushed to the bar to flirt with the boss.
The five had no choice but to leave for the time being. After dinner, they returned to their respective boxes to rest.
Charlie was obsessed with what happened in Mixington, and fell asleep muttering about wishing he wouldn't disappear.Du Leding turned over for a while, and finally couldn't help running out, and knocked on the door of Su Teng's box next door.
Su Teng opened the door, saw that it was Du Leding, and said, "Are you 'ill' again?"
Du Leding was startled, then frowned and pushed him in, closing the door and saying: "How many times have I told you that I'm fine, you don't have to worry about your chrysanthemum."
He unceremoniously sat on the bed, and took out a pen and paper from Su Teng's bag: "Do you still remember the paintings on the nine sarcophagi around Princess Wushan's coffin?"
As he spoke, he began to draw.
He doesn't know how to draw, but he thinks it's okay, as long as he can express the general meaning with lines, so the evil spirit becomes a stickman, the black snake becomes a curve, and the patterns in the background are simply outlined with crooked lines.
When he finished drawing, Su Teng also finished drawing, and perfectly copied 9 pictures. The evil ghost is fierce, the black snake spit out letters, and the mouths all over the body are showing fangs and sharp teeth.
On the other hand, what Du Leding drew is simply a picture of "stickman sprouting".
Du Leding silently crumpled his painting into a ball and threw it into the trash can, then dragged Su Teng's painting nonchalantly, tore it apart, discarded the blank parts, and put it back together again.
"Look," Duleding couldn't hide the excitement in his voice, "the lines in the background form a mountain."
And this bulging mountain is exactly the giant belly mountain he saw from the car window before.
Since the giant belly mountain is engraved on the nine sarcophagi of the Wushan ancient tomb, it means that this mountain must have a great connection with the Wushan ancient tomb, and it may be her husband's tomb.
Du Leding said to himself: "Although the ancient tomb of Wushan may not appear here, it is worthwhile to find her husband's tomb. Maybe we can get information about 'Zhaoguo' from this, and then follow the vines." Check it out..."
Su Teng seemed to be listening, but suddenly asked, "Do you have to be so vigilant?"
Du Leding looked at him blankly, not knowing why he suddenly asked such a question.
What Su Teng was referring to was that when asking the boss for news in the bar, Du Leding pretended to be stupid in all kinds of devious ways, but refused to tell their real destination directly, obviously because he was very wary.
Du Leding patted Su Teng on the shoulder, and said earnestly, "Young man, have you never heard an old saying that 'the heart of others is indispensable'? The boss is a person who has experienced many battles and rich experience. You must know this truth. If you ask her directly, she may not say it directly, and she may suspect that our group of people came to the blockade for impure purposes."
If it really arouses suspicion, the boss will definitely not say more.But if he pretended to be a tourist and chatted, the other party would relax his vigilance instead, and a lot of news could be drawn along the topic.
Su Teng looked at Du Leding's expression of pretending to be old-fashioned, and asked in a low voice: "What about me, have you been on guard all the time?"
Su Teng's naturally melancholy eyes gave this question a bit of bitterness, and made the listeners feel a sense of self-blame for failing him.
Du Leding was stunned for a moment, and raised the corners of his mouth tactfully, "Why, I'm a small character, what should a big man like you care about?"
Su Teng lowered his thick eyelashes: "What if I say yes?"
This question made Du Leding stunned again, he opened his mouth, and just about to answer, the door he forgot to lock when he came was suddenly pulled open.
Charlie struggled to open the door and ran in in a panic, shouting, "Ding Ding is gone, and there is no bathroom..."
Charlie swallowed the other half of the words. He saw his dear Comrade Ding Ding sitting on Su Teng's bed. The two men were shoulder to shoulder and knee to knee, looking at each other "affectionately".
Du Leding saw Charlie's expression of "I understand everything" in a blink of an eye, and suddenly a black line: "I have something to do with him."
"I understand." Charlie returned kind eyes and a friendly smile. After all, this was the second time Duleding ran to Su Teng's bed while he was asleep. He felt that Duleding really didn't need to explain anything.
Barrage: yooooooooo
Barrage: Why are you always sneaking around, can't you just sleep together openly?
Barrage: This is fun!
Barrage: I miss my husband in the middle of the night, go to bed secretly, give me a kiss, and I will slap you...
Du Leding stood up quickly, wiped off the tangled and depressed expression on his face, and changed the subject: "Dear audience friends, why did a mountain forest fall from the sky? Where did the residents of Mixington Town disappear? Are they still alive now? ?Now, Ding Ding and Charlie are about to take you into the mysterious mountain town and uncover the truth hidden under the thick fog."
Saying that, he left the box without looking back, and walked to the No. 99 car, Su Teng and Charlie naturally followed.
Although it was late at night, there were still seven or eight customers drinking and chatting in the bar.The boss was quietly scrubbing the glasses behind the bar.
Du Leding walked to the bar and sat down, propping his face with one hand, with a helpless expression on his face: "Sister, I can't sleep."
The boss smiled at him: "Do you need me to hold you and sing you a lullaby?"
Before Du Leding could speak, Su Teng walked up to him and sat down. At some point, the protective goggles he put on showed: ▼▼The boss raised his eyebrows: "What's the matter, do you want a cup of old vinegar?"
Du Leding thought that this was all the same, he shook his hand at the boss and said, "Don't want a lullaby, hold me and tell a bedtime story."
The boss knew it well, but he deliberately said: "What do you want to hear, the daughter of the sea, the happy prince, the little match girl..."
Du Leding softened his tone: "Beautiful sister, don't tease me, your story was interrupted at a critical moment, which made me unable to sleep after thinking about it. Tell me quickly, from Mixington Town What is it about people disappearing?"
His tone was like a younger brother asking his older sister for something. Su Teng's eyebrows twitched slightly uncontrollably.
Charlie jumped onto Su Teng's lap and echoed, "I'm also full of curiosity."
The boss poured drinks and wine for them respectively, and lit a cigarette: "I really can't stand handsome guys who can act like a baby, so let me talk about it, but I've heard these things too, so I don't know if it's true or not."
Du Leding laughed and said, "Whether he is true or not, I just listened to it as a story."
The boss leaned on the wine rack and continued the story before dinner.
After the Big Belly Mountain appeared, a mudslide broke out. Not long after the disaster, the connection between Mixington Town and the outside world was interrupted. The army once sent people to check and found that there was no one there.
Du Leding looked disappointed and said, "So, the so-called disappearance means that the mudslide buried the town?"
"I'm not playing tricks, it's not that simple." The boss knocked the pipe on the ashtray, "Although the town of Mixington, which is less than half of it, is in the valley, it hasn't suffered too much from the disaster. Loss."
It is said that after the turbid torrent subsided, the townspeople discovered that many black boxes with different sizes and engraved patterns rushed out of the mountain. Some were empty, and some obviously contained something.
People in Mixington Town had never seen this kind of boxes, and they didn't know where they came from, and why there were so many of them, so they decided to ask experts to come and check them.
However, after the army arranged the personnel and time, they could no longer contact the town of Mixington.
Du Le Ding said in surprise: "So their disappearance is related to those strange boxes?"
The boss shrugged: "It's hard to say. Although the townspeople disappeared after the box appeared, no one knows whether these two things are related."
Then the search and rescue team entered the valley to conduct a large-scale search. As a result, not only did they find nothing, but even the search and rescue personnel disappeared one by one.After that the area was sealed off and no one was allowed to enter.
The fans in the live broadcast room also listened carefully. Before the boss finished speaking, he began to talk about the legend about Mixington Town. These unbelievable claims basically have no basis, but they are just added by people with nothing to do. Thriller stories come out.
Su Teng rarely took the initiative to speak: "Has anyone outside the valley seen those boxes?"
The boss fiddled with the hair beside his ear, and said, "There are all kinds of speculations about what's in the box, but in fact, few people have been to the valley after the blockade, let alone seen those boxes."
Du Leding took a sip of his wine and winked at the boss: "This train passes through the town of Mixington. There must be one or two travelers who like adventures. They have visited the valley and seen those boxes, right?"
The implication is that there must be one or two people who could not resist the temptation of alcohol and the charm of the boss, or talked or boasted about their experiences.
The boss smiled and said: "Your curiosity is quite strong. You don't go to Mixington Town, what are you doing asking so much?"
"Actually, I'm a writer of horror novels," Du Leding said solemnly, "This trip is just to collect material."
Then he patted Su Teng on the shoulder again: "He is the editor who urges updates day and night. He is afraid that I will lose my mind by playing around outside. It is not enough to put a collar on me, but he even followed me out to monitor me. Do you think it is like urging me to die? ghost?"
Charlie almost squirted the drink in his mouth, and quickly swallowed it hard, his throat was blocked and hurt.
The boss looked at Du Leding again: "So you are a novelist, I really can't tell, I thought that kind of people have depression, and they will never be as sunny and cheerful as you."
"You can't judge by appearance. In fact, my heart is very melancholy, as deep as the sea." Du Leding frowned, "Especially when I was looking for an answer but couldn't get it."
The boss laughed loudly: "Well, since you are so depressed, then I will tell you again.
Duledin is wearing a pair of cotton mittens, embroidered with warm yellow ducklings, but most of them have been frayed, especially the mouth part, which looks like a duckling who can't speak out like him .He leaned on the window sill on tiptoe, staring at the dark ice in a daze.
The orphanage is not allowed to go out privately, no matter how much these children yearn for it, they can only watch helplessly.
People say that seven or eight-year-old dogs are disgusting. Du Leding is at this "beautiful" age, and he is obviously not the kind of child who is willing to just look away and obey discipline.
He secretly found a few pairs of skates in a large pile of donations not long ago and hid them under the bed. He only waited for a suitable opportunity and slipped out to experience the joy of skating on the ice.
The teachers and aunts of the orphanage seem to have a meeting tonight, which seems perfect.
Not long after, two little heads poked through the door of the room.
Shen Yu whispered to Du Leding, "Tail, shall we go now?"
When Du Leding was a child, he was very small and thin, as if he had been treated harshly. Generally, teachers in orphanages were embarrassed to let him show up for any activities.
A child with a thin body has a big head, and Dulotin looks like a tack, so everyone else calls it that.
Du Leding nodded, ran under the bed and dragged out three pairs of skates, and distributed them to the other two.He hung the skates around his neck, gesticulated, and explained the "escape" route to the two of them, as well as things to pay attention to along the way.
In order to communicate with Du Leding, Shen Yu has been taking sign language lessons with him, and now he is watching seriously and nodding frequently.
Zhao Cheng didn't know what he was gesticulating, and he looked impatient: "Fortunately, you are dumb, otherwise you would be too long-winded."
Du Leding has heard this kind of words no less than a hundred times, and he has long since ignored it.The three of them got ready, and sneaked out of the dormitory according to the established route.
Once out of the gate, the cold wind was like a knife, cutting people's faces with pain, no matter how thick they were dressed, they would be frozen through in an instant.
It was a kind of cold that could penetrate even the cracks in the bones.But Du Le Ding was too excited, he fought against the cold wind with his heart full of excitement, trotted to the bottom of the wall, and turned his head to signal Shen Yu and Zhao Cheng to follow.
The three silly boys moved bricks to step on their feet, climbed over the wall, and rushed to the lake like a charge, and couldn't wait to put on their ice skates.
It was inconvenient for Du Leding to tie his shoelaces while wearing mittens. He was about to take off the little yellow duck gloves when Shen Yu knelt down to help him tie his shoelaces.
Boss Zhao Cheng was unwilling: "He's dumb, and it's not like he doesn't have hands and feet. Why are you helping him?"
Shen Yu shook his hands in front of Zhao Cheng's eyes: "I wear five-fingered gloves, which are more convenient."
Zhao Cheng stretched his foot forward: "You are so convenient, help me tie it too!"
Shen Yu kicked him lightly: "You are the oldest here, why are you the most childish?"
Shen Yu has always matured precociously, and behaves like a child in her teens.For Du Le Ding's sneaking out to skate this time, Shen Yu refused at first, but he knew that with Du Le Ding's unstoppable temperament, he could not stop him no matter what, so he had to play around with him.
The skates on Du Leding's feet were bigger than his feet, and his clothes were empty.The tip of his nose was red, and he "chopped" from the grass to the ice with a sway, and kicked his legs hard, but he couldn't move forward.
His posture was exaggerated, as if he was showing his teeth and claws. Within a few minutes, he fell on his back several times.
Zhao Cheng's motor cells were active and he adapted quickly, and he was already able to circle around like that. When he passed by Du Leding, he let out a series of undisguised laughs.
Shen Yu had done her homework in advance and had a wealth of theoretical knowledge, so she told Du Leding to focus forward and not to sit back.But he himself was not much better, trembling like an old lady crossing the road.
Zhao Cheng slid to Shen Yu's side, poked left and right, laughing and joking.
Du Leding stared at Zhao Cheng's legs for a while, got up and continued to try, and gradually found a little feeling, and slid forward for a while, very excitedly turning his head to show off.
Zhao Cheng was teaching Shen Yu how to use strength, both of them looked down at their feet, and no one paid attention to Du Leding.
The dumb are incapable of attracting attention with their voices, and when neglected, they dissolve into the air like a transparent gas.
Du Leding opened his mouth, put down his raised hand, turned his head and continued to stumbling.
As he slid further and further away, he felt as light as the rabbit in the cartoon, almost flying, and even the cold wind that hit his face became so comfortable.
"Tail, don't slip into the middle of the lake, come back quickly!"
Shen Yu's voice came from a distance, Du Leding turned his head excitedly and waved, suddenly his feet were empty, and he fell into the hole dug out by the ice fishermen.
The moment he entered the water, Du Leding knew that there was something colder than the winter wind in this world, and the heart-piercing chill instantly enveloped him.
However, soon, that coldness disappeared, and with it, his panicked struggle.
He sank slowly in the darkness, as if he would never reach the bottom...
"Ding, dear passengers, the train will arrive at Namoya Station in 10 minutes. Passengers who get off the train should get ready."
Du Leding shivered and woke up from his sleep.It was hazy outside the car window, and it rained at some point, and even the temperature in the car dropped very low, making goose bumps on his arms.
The town he was going to was blocked by the government for some reason, so he could only fly to a nearby city and then take a train instead.He was disturbed by the illusory singing last night, whether it was real or hallucination, he didn't sleep much. After getting in the car, he was sleepy for a while, and fell asleep on the seat.
Unexpectedly, I dreamed about my childhood memories.
He sat in a daze for a while before recovering, and sang out of boredom: Everythingthatdrownsmemakesmewannafly...
"Drink something hot." Su Teng put a steaming cup of coffee in front of Du Leding.
Du Leding looked sleepy, picked it up and took a few sips, and suddenly felt a warmth flowing through his limbs, and his whole body came alive from the ice hole.
Su Teng sat down beside him, and took out a computer that was as thin as a piece of paper. He didn't know what he was looking at.Girls passing by often looked at him, and some even approached him blatantly to strike up a conversation. He didn't even lift his head, and refused people thousands of miles away with a cold attitude. Finally, he put on the protective goggles in annoyance.
Du Leding propped his face with one hand, squinted at the handsome guy next to him who was "attracting bees and attracting butterflies", and thought that he was entangled by the archaeological team.
He planned to leave early in the morning, but the breakfast made by Dubin was really rich and attractive, so he ate his fill before setting out on the road.Unexpectedly, when they walked out of the gate, the levitation vehicle of the archaeological team was already waiting outside the gate. Knight, Snow, and Zhou Ruxu were many of them, and of course Su Teng was also there.
Charlie, who was still angry at first, suddenly jumped up excitedly, hugged Su Teng's thigh without letting go, and said cheekily, "I know the male god will not abandon me", "The male god is so kind to accompany me to explore in person", He seemed to have forgotten what he said the night before.
Du Le Ding was looking for opportunities to separate from them along the way, but with the archaeological team, everything was more convenient and smooth. They had formal procedures, sufficient funds and equipment, which seemed more reliable than those unknown things in his backpack. many.
Born at the wrong time - Du Leding sighed silently.I was stunned for a while, and couldn't help asking Su Teng: "Why did you go to Mixington Town?"
Su Teng: "Same as you."
Du Leding: "My purpose is to find the ancient tomb of Wushan, capture the shadow, solve the mystery of the disappearance of the wound, and prevent myself from going mad and dying like Grom, or falling into a deep sleep like Yang Han."
Su Teng turned his head slightly, and a symbol appeared on the protective glasses: ^^
Du Leding: "..."
Su Teng once said that he was not familiar with Yang Han.Even if you are not familiar with an archaeological team, then you can only be considered acquainted with Du Leding.Duledin didn't think they would take risks for someone they had just met, presumably the town had some history worth discovering.
He still wanted to talk to Su Teng again, Zhou Ruxu and Snow came back from another carriage, and it seemed that something good had happened.
Zhou Ruxu sat down opposite Su Teng, but faced Du Leding and said: "Car No. 99 is a bar, and the owner is a rare beauty."
This suspended train has a total of 99 carriages, which are all controlled by an intelligent system. Except for stops in 26 cities and 43 towns, it will never stop traveling along a loop.
In addition to 66 seats and box-style soft sleepers, the other 33 cars are restaurants, bars, and shops just like the ground. Even if you don’t return to the city for a few years, you can live a normal life on this train.
Zhou Ruxu continued: "Would you like to go and see, maybe there will be 'benefits' on this train journey."
Looking at the way his eyes are shining, it seems that he is looking forward to a passionate encounter with a big beauty.
Snow said angrily, "I saw her first, so don't you have Knight?"
Zhou Ruxu gave him a white look: "You see a fart, do you dare to talk to her?"
Snow was at a loss for words for a moment.Zhou Ruxu said again: "Besides, what do you mean I have Knight, is Knight mine?"
As he said that, he rushed to Knight who was playing cards with Charlie on the other side of the aisle and showed a greasy smile: "Honey, how about a drink?"
Knight didn't even look up: "Go away."
Zhou spread his hands like this, which meant that it was obvious that Knight was not his.Picking up girls and girls requires assistants. Naturally, this difficult task cannot be entrusted to Snow, who is misophobic, let alone Su Teng, who freezes everywhere he goes.
It seems that Duleding is really the most suitable.
Du Leding stood up and said, "Come on, show me how big and beautiful the beauty is."
Su Teng obviously had no intention of giving way, raised his head and said coldly: "Are you very interested?"
Du Leding was naturally interested in beauties, but besides that, there was another very important reason.
A bar, and a bar on a train, must have customers coming and going from north to south.No matter who it is, in the face of beauties and alcohol, the nerves will relax, and they can't help talking about travel experiences and life insights.
The town of Mixington was on the train's route, and travelers must have been there.As the owner of the bar, she is simply a transfer station for various information, and she might get some information about Mixington from her.
Du Leding and Zhou Ruxu walked to the No. 99 carriage, and found that Snow and Su Teng were also following behind.
Zhou Ruxu asked Snow: "What are you doing, to see how the beauty falls for me?"
Snow: "Look at how you were kicked out of the car by the big beauty."
Du Leding asked Su Teng: "Why are you suddenly interested?"
Su Teng: ΘΘ
Du Leding didn't understand what this symbol conveyed, he just felt baffled.The four men passed through the carriages and finally came to No. 99. As soon as they opened the door, they seemed to have entered another world.
The ambiguous light, swaying light and shadow, indulgent laughter, and charming wine fragrance combine into a special magic power, which slows down the pace of time and makes people's hearts flutter.
Du Leding was letting his eyes wander around, when a burst of laughter came from directly in front of him.
At the end of the carriage was a metal pipe propped between the roof and the ground, and a man wearing only a pair of underwear was tied to it. His face was pale, his lips trembled, and he kept asking for help from the people around him.
There was a man in the crowd who obviously drank too much. He raised the wine bottle in his hand and poured the wine on the naked man. Lele, come on, let's do a pole dance!"
The man in the underwear turned pale and tried to dodge.The drunk seemed to be teasing him, extending the lighter to his left for a while, and then to the right for a while.Several times when the flames were about to burn, the man in the underwear jumped up and ran away with an "Aww", like a frightened monkey.
Some of the people around were watching the fun and booing, some were watching coldly, and no one wanted to meddle in their own business.
The drunk man was a little annoyed, and he poked the fire in his hand at the man in underwear, and it was about to burn, when he heard a piercing sound, and then there was a sharp pain in his tiger's mouth, which made him let go on a conditioned reflex hands.
The lighter fell down.The drunk shook his head and looked around on the ground. Except for the lighter, only a coin was shining.
The laughter stopped abruptly, and the group of people froze in time, leaving a dazed look on their faces.
The train entered the tunnel, and then went out again. In just a few seconds, Du Leding had already untied the hands of the man in underwear embracing the steel pipe.
The drunk blushed, picked up the coin from the ground, and shouted at Du Leding: "You, are you..."
Du Leding snatched back the coin and said with a smile: "That's right, it's my coin, thank you for picking up the money."
"Damn you..." The drunk went from dazed to angry, his tongue was tied up and he couldn't speak, and his fists were gesticulating in the air.
Du Leding was neither afraid of him scolding, nor afraid of his making a move, so he calmly let him stare at him.Su Teng was standing next to him, and the cold air from his body was lower than the temperature on a rainy day.
The man in the underwear quickly picked up the scattered clothes on the ground. Seeing that the situation was not good, he immediately grabbed the drunk man's arm, hurriedly thanked and apologized to Du Leding, and dragged the drunk man out of the No. 99 carriage.
Seeing that they had no fun, the onlookers also dispersed.
Zhou Ruxu said: "If I were that man in underwear, I wouldn't bother with that drunk at all, and just let someone beat him up."
Snow: "Why don't you take off your clothes and let's replay what happened just now?"
Zhou Ruxu: "I will take off my clothes, but not in front of you." As he said that, he turned his eyes towards the bar, seeing that he wanted to take off his clothes in front of another person.
There was only one customer sitting at the bar, wearing a hoodie, a hat, and a mask on his face.From the perspective of gender, he is definitely not a target like Zhou.
Standing behind the bar was a woman, her dress was covered with coquettish dark flowers, her hair was coiled behind her head, revealing a round oval face and slender fair neck, a pair of fox-like smiling winking eyes, and a delicate crown on her chin. mole.
The boss was indeed extraordinarily beautiful, enchanting, and touching, exuding a mature femininity from his whole body.In addition, she is obviously a descendant of the earth, so Du Leding felt kind to her no matter what she saw.
The four went to the bar and sat down, and the masked man got up and left with a whole bottle of wine.
Snow looked at the guest who got up and left curiously, and said in a low voice, "This man is weird. Since he is wearing a mask, he probably doesn't want people to see what he looks like. Why do he still come to a bar where there are so many people? .”
Zhou Ruxu said: "You are so wide-ranging, what if his nose and mouth are not fully grown!"
Sometimes Snow really wanted to slap him twice: "Wearing a mask means you don't have a nose and mouth, but Su Teng wears goggles, but you don't have eyes!"
The pair of live treasures started to fight again, but Du Leding subconsciously glanced at Su Teng.
In the bleak starlight last night, a stream of light slid across, breaking the chaos of reality and dreams.The humming stopped abruptly, and the bedroom door was not pushed open.
Du Leding managed to get rid of the state of ghost pressing the bed, and immediately jumped out of bed and ran out to investigate, but there was no one in the corridor.
He walked around the upper and lower floors, but found nothing unusual, but found a door with a different style from other rooms at the end of the corridor on the second floor.
On the metal plate on the door, there are round bumps the size of rice grains, which at first glance seem to be arranged irregularly.
Most of the orphanages are disabled children. Du Leding saw some children learn this kind of graphics when he was young.It is not accurate to say that it is a graphic, because it is actually text, Braille.
Su Teng is not blind, why did he use Braille to mark his room?
But after thinking about it, he is still not dumb, and he still uses sign language often!
I don't know what's in that room, maybe it's full of corpses like Bluebeard.Su Teng's body was surrounded by a layer of inextricable mist, and there was a mysterious box hidden inside. Before opening it, no one knew what would pop out of it.
Du Leding was thinking about all kinds of mysteries about Su Teng when the boss came over.
Her slender fingers are holding the slender cigarette rod, she is indescribably charming and soft, her red lips are lightly parted, exhaling white smoke, and she said in a mocking tone: "What a handsome 'Virgin Tiantuan', what a rare grandeur! scene."
Du Leding blurted out: "Beauty, you have the eyes of an old driver!"
Zhou Ruxu almost choked on his own saliva. He didn't want to appear inexperienced in the eyes of the beauties, so he immediately argued, "I'm not like these brats. The girls call me a prodigal son."
The boss laughed loudly, and pointed at Snow: "Femalephobia."
Another finger pointed at Zhou Ruxu: "I am passionate about myself."
Pointing at Su Teng again: "Insulator."
Finally, her eyes fell on Du Leding, and she looked at the collar on his neck playfully, as if she had made up a lot of R18 things in her brain.
Du Leding's brain was short-circuited, and he pointed to Su Teng and said, "I'm not a pervert, he forced me to wear it."
The boss nodded knowingly: "So you guys like to play slave games, it's very interesting."
Du Leding squeezed out a not-so-kind smile, and shook his head at Su Teng: "Don't you want to explain?"
Su Teng: ~~
The profane symbol didn't help at all, but made the boss smile even deeper.Du Leding was about to speak to defend, but a familiar bullet screen appeared in front of him, and he could feel the excitement of the fans through the light screen.
Barrage: The boss is not only beautiful, but also very discerning.
Barrage: Su Teng looks cold on the surface, but he is actually very boring~~
Barrage: Our Ding Ding is shy again, and he said no, but his body must be very honest.
Du Le Ding looked down, Charlie did not know when to come.He jumped onto Dule Ding's lap, clawed at the bar and said to the boss, "I want a glass of juice with an umbrella on it!"
Du Le Ding Xu grabbed Charlie's neck: "It's really time, aren't you playing cards with Knight?"
Charlie said: "Nate went back to the box to watch a movie, and I decided to do some man things with you."
"Men want to fight, do you want to fight?" Du Leding glanced at the headache barrage, and slapped the bar, "Give me a glass of wine, the strongest kind."
The boss served drinks to all five of them, and said with a smile, "I was joking with you just now, where are you going?"
She must have asked this kind of question countless times, and the answer was nothing more than the dozens of stations that the train passed.
Zhou Ruxu was about to answer, but Du Leding said first, "Treiding Town."
The boss leaned on the wine rack with a smile on his lips: "That place is nice, there are many pastures, are you traveling?"
"That's right," Du Leding took a sip of his wine, "I heard that the air over there is good and the scenery is good, and you can go hunting in the mountains and forests."
The boss flicked ash in the ashtray: "Hunting is banned now, and the mountains and forests have also been sealed."
Although Du Leding knew it long ago, he was surprised: "No, I have practiced shooting for a month!"
At this time, the train entered the tunnel again, and it was pitch black outside the window.After getting out of the tunnel, the boss motioned them to look out.
There are many mountains in this area, and there are many mountains outside the window, and it is dark under the moisture of the mountain rain.The boss said: "Do you know the town of Mixington?"
Du Le Ding nodded: "I've heard that it's next door to Treying, but it seems to be blocked by the army. What does this have to do with Treying's ban on hunting?"
The boss said leisurely: "Mixington Town used to be a very big town, and there was only one mountain nearby. Two years ago, a mountain forest suddenly appeared out of thin air, engulfing most of the town. Now the ruins of Mixington are located in the valley, and it looks inverted. It's like a small village."
As she spoke, she pointed to a mountain in the distance outside the window: "That's the mountain, Giant Belly Mountain."
Du Leding walked to the window and looked into the distance.
The drizzle was whirling in the mountains, and a layer of water vapor on the car window dimly reflected his shocked expression.
The mountain lived up to its name and had a big belly.This peculiar outline gave him a feeling of deja vu.
The boss has been running the bar on the train for nearly ten years and has read countless people. He has heard various stories from passengers and told them to other passengers.Her voice is like a retro blues, telling the history of the town of Mixington.
Miller Star was once invaded by Zerg, and the war continued, even a remote town was not spared.All the men in Mixington took up arms and went to the battlefield, leaving only the old and young women and children waiting at home.
Although Star Miller drove away the Zerg in the end, the situation was very unfavorable at the beginning of the war, and it could be said that they were retreating steadily.News of the death came back to their hometown one after another, causing the families of the soldiers to cry bitterly.To commemorate loved ones who died in the war, the women of Mixington began making dolls.
They make dolls that are exactly like real people based on the appearance and body shape of their relatives.These puppets are placed in houses, on streets, and all over the town. It seems that those who died have returned and are still living normally as before.
After the war, this tradition was still preserved, and it also attracted many tourists, making the town's tourism industry gradually develop.
After the Giant Belly Mountain appeared inexplicably, those who survived continued to live there for a while, and then left one after another.Back when the town was alive and well, the dolls on the streets looked smiling.Now the valley is lifeless, and the sunlight cannot penetrate the perennial fog. Under such circumstances, those puppets look weird.
Du Le Ding sat back at the bar, pretending to be stupid on purpose: "Just because the doll looks scary, the army blocked the whole valley?"
"Of course not." The boss's slender fingertips slowly rubbed along the rim of the glass, and the wine in the glass sparkled under the ambiguous light, trembling slightly like her eyes. The people did not move away, but disappeared."
Just when I heard the critical moment, the door of the carriage was opened, and a group of middle-aged men poured in, clamoring to watch the game, and they all rushed to the bar to flirt with the boss.
The five had no choice but to leave for the time being. After dinner, they returned to their respective boxes to rest.
Charlie was obsessed with what happened in Mixington, and fell asleep muttering about wishing he wouldn't disappear.Du Leding turned over for a while, and finally couldn't help running out, and knocked on the door of Su Teng's box next door.
Su Teng opened the door, saw that it was Du Leding, and said, "Are you 'ill' again?"
Du Leding was startled, then frowned and pushed him in, closing the door and saying: "How many times have I told you that I'm fine, you don't have to worry about your chrysanthemum."
He unceremoniously sat on the bed, and took out a pen and paper from Su Teng's bag: "Do you still remember the paintings on the nine sarcophagi around Princess Wushan's coffin?"
As he spoke, he began to draw.
He doesn't know how to draw, but he thinks it's okay, as long as he can express the general meaning with lines, so the evil spirit becomes a stickman, the black snake becomes a curve, and the patterns in the background are simply outlined with crooked lines.
When he finished drawing, Su Teng also finished drawing, and perfectly copied 9 pictures. The evil ghost is fierce, the black snake spit out letters, and the mouths all over the body are showing fangs and sharp teeth.
On the other hand, what Du Leding drew is simply a picture of "stickman sprouting".
Du Leding silently crumpled his painting into a ball and threw it into the trash can, then dragged Su Teng's painting nonchalantly, tore it apart, discarded the blank parts, and put it back together again.
"Look," Duleding couldn't hide the excitement in his voice, "the lines in the background form a mountain."
And this bulging mountain is exactly the giant belly mountain he saw from the car window before.
Since the giant belly mountain is engraved on the nine sarcophagi of the Wushan ancient tomb, it means that this mountain must have a great connection with the Wushan ancient tomb, and it may be her husband's tomb.
Du Leding said to himself: "Although the ancient tomb of Wushan may not appear here, it is worthwhile to find her husband's tomb. Maybe we can get information about 'Zhaoguo' from this, and then follow the vines." Check it out..."
Su Teng seemed to be listening, but suddenly asked, "Do you have to be so vigilant?"
Du Leding looked at him blankly, not knowing why he suddenly asked such a question.
What Su Teng was referring to was that when asking the boss for news in the bar, Du Leding pretended to be stupid in all kinds of devious ways, but refused to tell their real destination directly, obviously because he was very wary.
Du Leding patted Su Teng on the shoulder, and said earnestly, "Young man, have you never heard an old saying that 'the heart of others is indispensable'? The boss is a person who has experienced many battles and rich experience. You must know this truth. If you ask her directly, she may not say it directly, and she may suspect that our group of people came to the blockade for impure purposes."
If it really arouses suspicion, the boss will definitely not say more.But if he pretended to be a tourist and chatted, the other party would relax his vigilance instead, and a lot of news could be drawn along the topic.
Su Teng looked at Du Leding's expression of pretending to be old-fashioned, and asked in a low voice: "What about me, have you been on guard all the time?"
Su Teng's naturally melancholy eyes gave this question a bit of bitterness, and made the listeners feel a sense of self-blame for failing him.
Du Leding was stunned for a moment, and raised the corners of his mouth tactfully, "Why, I'm a small character, what should a big man like you care about?"
Su Teng lowered his thick eyelashes: "What if I say yes?"
This question made Du Leding stunned again, he opened his mouth, and just about to answer, the door he forgot to lock when he came was suddenly pulled open.
Charlie struggled to open the door and ran in in a panic, shouting, "Ding Ding is gone, and there is no bathroom..."
Charlie swallowed the other half of the words. He saw his dear Comrade Ding Ding sitting on Su Teng's bed. The two men were shoulder to shoulder and knee to knee, looking at each other "affectionately".
Du Leding saw Charlie's expression of "I understand everything" in a blink of an eye, and suddenly a black line: "I have something to do with him."
"I understand." Charlie returned kind eyes and a friendly smile. After all, this was the second time Duleding ran to Su Teng's bed while he was asleep. He felt that Duleding really didn't need to explain anything.
Barrage: yooooooooo
Barrage: Why are you always sneaking around, can't you just sleep together openly?
Barrage: This is fun!
Barrage: I miss my husband in the middle of the night, go to bed secretly, give me a kiss, and I will slap you...
Du Leding stood up quickly, wiped off the tangled and depressed expression on his face, and changed the subject: "Dear audience friends, why did a mountain forest fall from the sky? Where did the residents of Mixington Town disappear? Are they still alive now? ?Now, Ding Ding and Charlie are about to take you into the mysterious mountain town and uncover the truth hidden under the thick fog."
Saying that, he left the box without looking back, and walked to the No. 99 car, Su Teng and Charlie naturally followed.
Although it was late at night, there were still seven or eight customers drinking and chatting in the bar.The boss was quietly scrubbing the glasses behind the bar.
Du Leding walked to the bar and sat down, propping his face with one hand, with a helpless expression on his face: "Sister, I can't sleep."
The boss smiled at him: "Do you need me to hold you and sing you a lullaby?"
Before Du Leding could speak, Su Teng walked up to him and sat down. At some point, the protective goggles he put on showed: ▼▼The boss raised his eyebrows: "What's the matter, do you want a cup of old vinegar?"
Du Leding thought that this was all the same, he shook his hand at the boss and said, "Don't want a lullaby, hold me and tell a bedtime story."
The boss knew it well, but he deliberately said: "What do you want to hear, the daughter of the sea, the happy prince, the little match girl..."
Du Leding softened his tone: "Beautiful sister, don't tease me, your story was interrupted at a critical moment, which made me unable to sleep after thinking about it. Tell me quickly, from Mixington Town What is it about people disappearing?"
His tone was like a younger brother asking his older sister for something. Su Teng's eyebrows twitched slightly uncontrollably.
Charlie jumped onto Su Teng's lap and echoed, "I'm also full of curiosity."
The boss poured drinks and wine for them respectively, and lit a cigarette: "I really can't stand handsome guys who can act like a baby, so let me talk about it, but I've heard these things too, so I don't know if it's true or not."
Du Leding laughed and said, "Whether he is true or not, I just listened to it as a story."
The boss leaned on the wine rack and continued the story before dinner.
After the Big Belly Mountain appeared, a mudslide broke out. Not long after the disaster, the connection between Mixington Town and the outside world was interrupted. The army once sent people to check and found that there was no one there.
Du Leding looked disappointed and said, "So, the so-called disappearance means that the mudslide buried the town?"
"I'm not playing tricks, it's not that simple." The boss knocked the pipe on the ashtray, "Although the town of Mixington, which is less than half of it, is in the valley, it hasn't suffered too much from the disaster. Loss."
It is said that after the turbid torrent subsided, the townspeople discovered that many black boxes with different sizes and engraved patterns rushed out of the mountain. Some were empty, and some obviously contained something.
People in Mixington Town had never seen this kind of boxes, and they didn't know where they came from, and why there were so many of them, so they decided to ask experts to come and check them.
However, after the army arranged the personnel and time, they could no longer contact the town of Mixington.
Du Le Ding said in surprise: "So their disappearance is related to those strange boxes?"
The boss shrugged: "It's hard to say. Although the townspeople disappeared after the box appeared, no one knows whether these two things are related."
Then the search and rescue team entered the valley to conduct a large-scale search. As a result, not only did they find nothing, but even the search and rescue personnel disappeared one by one.After that the area was sealed off and no one was allowed to enter.
The fans in the live broadcast room also listened carefully. Before the boss finished speaking, he began to talk about the legend about Mixington Town. These unbelievable claims basically have no basis, but they are just added by people with nothing to do. Thriller stories come out.
Su Teng rarely took the initiative to speak: "Has anyone outside the valley seen those boxes?"
The boss fiddled with the hair beside his ear, and said, "There are all kinds of speculations about what's in the box, but in fact, few people have been to the valley after the blockade, let alone seen those boxes."
Du Leding took a sip of his wine and winked at the boss: "This train passes through the town of Mixington. There must be one or two travelers who like adventures. They have visited the valley and seen those boxes, right?"
The implication is that there must be one or two people who could not resist the temptation of alcohol and the charm of the boss, or talked or boasted about their experiences.
The boss smiled and said: "Your curiosity is quite strong. You don't go to Mixington Town, what are you doing asking so much?"
"Actually, I'm a writer of horror novels," Du Leding said solemnly, "This trip is just to collect material."
Then he patted Su Teng on the shoulder again: "He is the editor who urges updates day and night. He is afraid that I will lose my mind by playing around outside. It is not enough to put a collar on me, but he even followed me out to monitor me. Do you think it is like urging me to die? ghost?"
Charlie almost squirted the drink in his mouth, and quickly swallowed it hard, his throat was blocked and hurt.
The boss looked at Du Leding again: "So you are a novelist, I really can't tell, I thought that kind of people have depression, and they will never be as sunny and cheerful as you."
"You can't judge by appearance. In fact, my heart is very melancholy, as deep as the sea." Du Leding frowned, "Especially when I was looking for an answer but couldn't get it."
The boss laughed loudly: "Well, since you are so depressed, then I will tell you again.
