to comfort the sun

"Hey, Mr. Shen, it's better to come sooner than later!"

As soon as Shen Yuan stepped into the restaurant, someone inside shouted his name.

He walked into the simple private room: "I'm sorry to keep you waiting for so long."

Looking around in the private room, there were quite a few people present, sitting around a big round table, but he didn't know any of them except Wang Jiayu's village head and village party secretary.

Shen Yuan came late, all the dishes were served, and there was still a seat next to the village head, which seemed to be specially reserved for him.

"Sit down quickly." The village chief told him to sit down, "Just wait for Mr. Shen to open the wine. This bottle of old Moutai was specially brought by Principal Ke Wang. We are all thanks to you."

When the cup came up, the aroma of wine overflowed, Shen Yuan took the cup but didn't intend to drink it.

The person called Principal Wang was sitting next to him, he looked fat and big-eared, as soon as Shen Yuan sat down, he poked his head to look over.

Seeing Shen Yuan looking over, Wang Guixi quickly stretched out his hand: "Mr. Shen, hello, my surname is Wang, Wang Guixi. I am the principal of Chaoyang Primary School. I have admired Mr. Shen's name for a long time, and I finally met today."

Shen Yuan didn't shake hands with him, but just gave him a weak nod with the cup in his hand: "You look a lot like the village chief."

Wang Guixi withdrew his hand embarrassingly, because he felt the other party's contempt, a trace of displeasure flashed across his face: "You have really good eyesight, we are cousins."

Shen Yuan could see through the emotion in his pretentious smile at a glance, but as a "partner" he couldn't really refuse to give any face, so he said again: "Brother Wang, this wine is really good, it really cost a fortune."

When Wang Guixi heard that Shen Yuan called him brother and brother, he finally felt a little more at ease, so he immediately continued: "Brother Shen, why are you being polite to me, I still have this wine in the car, you can bring a bottle when you go back."

"Brother Wang is grand." Shen Yuan took the cigarettes respected by others, "I'm actually here to see how Brother Wang's school is doing, and there will be a batch of donations in a while, so I'll tell you in advance You hand it over."

After Wang Guixi drank himself a few glasses of wine, his whole face turned red in a short while, and his eyes shone shrewdly.

He rubbed his hands together: "Brother Shen, it's like this. You are the first time you come back. There are some rules that you may not know. Every time the money comes down, we need to set aside some money to go out...so when we go back to approve..."

Shen Yuan said straightforwardly: "Then follow your rules."

Wang Guixi laughed loudly: "Bright! Come, let me toast you!"

Shen Yuan smiled and clinked glasses with him, took down the cigarette from his ear, and lit it while avoiding people, but when he turned his head, he inadvertently glanced at Wei Zhong who was next to Village Chief Wang from the corner of his eye. .

Wei Zhong should be the most out of place here, no matter in appearance or temperament.

At the dinner table, where the toasts were mixed, greeted and sent off, he was like a transparent person, if I don't look for you, you don't look for me.

He quietly picked up the food in the bowl, and glanced at the people around him from time to time, but the speed was so fast that he didn't know whether he could see everyone's faces clearly. Besides, he would also glance at the phone from time to time.

I don't know if he was too sharp, but suddenly, Wei Zhong looked away from the phone and looked at Shen Yuan.

Shen Yuan reacted quickly, and directly saluted him with an empty wine glass.

Wei Zhongzhong responded with trepidation.

The mobile phone was temporarily placed on the table by him, Shen Yuan glanced at it, the screen seemed to be an interface for sending messages.

On the other side, the two people who were climbing the mountain were sitting and resting on the big rock beside the mountain road.

Sun Fuzhou took out the water bottle in his backpack and took a sip of water.

In fact, the mountain road is not far away, but it is difficult to walk. The weeds and shrubs are very deep, and the road surface is difficult to identify. It is easy to step on the ground if you are not careful.

After Sun Fuzhou tidied himself up, he walked towards Qiu Yun who was still fiddling with his mobile phone with no signal: "Let's go, we'll be there soon."

Qiu Yun gave a long hum, quickly packed up and followed.

Sun Fuzhou turned over the information recorded in advance: "People in the village are quite resistant to this temple, and the location of this temple is rather strange. It is located on the back of the mountainside, and below it is Changmei Lake, the upper reaches of Changmei Reservoir."

Listening to his ramblings, Qiu Yun couldn't help muttering: "Why did you come all the way here...it's just a ruined temple..."

Sun Fuzhou resisted the urge to give her a shudder, and continued to talk about himself: "...About the rumors you heard, most of them are suspected of being exaggerated, such as the old theory that people are buried in the air-raid shelters and ghosts are too fake. .”

Qiu Yun nodded and said yes, gritted his teeth and complained in a low voice: "Then come over..."

Sun Fuzhou endured it again: "...the police in Changmei County have investigated several disappearance cases, and every time they found this place, they would be stopped by the villagers. The reason is that there are many cemeteries in the back mountain. But even if the police check it out, they will basically find nothing, and those disappearance cases will be nothing."

Hearing this, Qiu Yun said with a long voice: "I'm here to check this!"

Sun Fuzhou clicked his tongue in his heart.

--if not?

After walking for about 10 minutes, the two finally saw the true face of the mountain temple.

It looks very dilapidated and unremarkable from the outside.

"Here we are." Sun Fuzhou stopped and looked at it from a distance, "This looks like an ancestral hall, right? What kind of mountain temple?"

Qiu Yun took a breath and was speechless: "I feel cheated."

I don't know if it was a temple or an ancestral hall, but it was built in a dilapidated way in this forest. The wooden door at the entrance had a hole smaller than a person, and a big lock was hung on it in a very pretentious manner.

Sun Fuzhou carefully surveyed the surrounding environment, there were only sparse trees standing far and near, and there was nothing strange about it.

Qiu Yun couldn't wait any longer: "Go in and have a look!"

After she finished speaking, she walked over and lay down on the hole to take a few glances in.

Heibuliuqiu has nothing.

Sun Fuzhou was two steps behind her, and when he came up to him, Qiu Yun was already planning to get in through the one-person-wide hole.

He grabbed Qiu Yun: "Wait!"

Qiu Yun turned around: "What's wrong?"

"Are you afraid that others will not know that you have been here?" Sun Fuzhou pointed to the ground at the door. Her footprints had already been left in the ashes on it. In addition, there was a spider web hanging from her hair. window."

Sun Fuzhou pointed to the side again, there was a window open a crack.

Qiu Yun patted the ashes on his body: "I won't say it sooner."

The windows have been in disrepair for a long time, and the wooden window frames have long been riddled with insects in the mountains, and they can be opened with a light pull.

The window was much bigger than the hole in the door, and two people easily climbed in through the window.

After Sun Fuzhou went inside, he immediately turned on the flashlight. The room was very dark, with a smell of rotten wood.

At first he thought there might be a lot of dust in this room, but after he entered, Sun Fuzhou discovered that the only place where there was dust was the door, and it was extraordinarily thick, a bit like a layer was laid on purpose.

Sun Fuzhou shook the flashlight, and the beam of light was flying around the room. He shone towards the center of the room. The place where the plaque was originally placed is now empty.

Qiu Yun also turned on the flashlight, and walked around the room: "There seems to be nothing strange."

Sun Fuzhou walked to the front of the altar, and there were some tattered objects under the table, which should look like futons.

He squatted down and removed the pile of debris, and there was a floor tile underneath.

When he just walked around the house, he always felt that the sound of his footsteps was not right, but because he was wearing soft-soled sneakers, this feeling was only vague until——

Sun Fuzhou tapped the floor tiles with his knuckles.

The sound is indistinct.

He picked up another stone and knocked on it.

The sound was really empty.

Qiu Yun leaned over: "Is the bottom empty?"

Sun Fuzhou threw away the stone and clapped his hands, "Wait, what did you rub against your foot?"

"what? What?"

"On the shoes."

Sun Fuzhou lowered his head, Qiu Yun had a pair of black sneakers on his feet, it was obvious that anything was stained.

Qiu Yun broke his leg, and struggled to remove what was stuck on the shoe: "Colorful paper? How could there be this?"

She also has some shiny colored pieces on the toe and sole.

Qiu Yundao: "How can there be this in here?"

Sun Fuzhou stared at the piece of colored paper in her hand, feeling like he forgot something.

"Never mind that." Sun Fuzhou turned his gaze back to the ground, "It's not an air-raid shelter down here, is it?"

Sun Fuzhou saw that the floor tiles in front of him were a bit weird, and he couldn't guarantee what was underneath. Just as he was researching, his phone suddenly rang.

He picked it up habitually and glanced at it. It was a text message.

【he came. 】

Sun Fuzhou frowned and deleted the text message, put away the phone, and decided to give up here for the time being.

"Let's go, go back first."

So the two came in and went out, and went back the same way.

At this time, the people who originally went up to the mountain to worship also went back one after another, and it happened that no one knew it.

The way down the mountain is easier than the way up the mountain, and the time is much shorter.

Sun Fuzhou didn't speak all the way, but when he was about to reach the village, Qiu Yun suddenly stopped him from behind.

"Deputy Sun!"

Sun Fuzhou naturally pretended not to hear, and walked forward without looking back.

Qiu Yun chased after him and grabbed him: "Deputy Sun!"

Sun Fuzhou turned around in confusion: "What's wrong?"

Qiu Yun stared at his face for a long time, and Sun Fuzhou felt that she was about to be stared out of the hole, so she said, "Have your ears healed a long time ago?"

Sun Fuzhou's heart skipped a beat, and he tilted his head pretending to be puzzled: "What are you talking about?"

Qiu Yun pushed him: "Stop pretending, you just picked up the phone when you heard the notification tone of the text message."

Sun Fuzhou: "..."

Although he didn't want to keep pretending and talk about it later when he finds a suitable opportunity, he didn't expect this girl to notice it first.

To admit or not to admit...

Qiu Yun struggled and said: "I know you don't tell me some things, I'm because one more person knows the risk - but we are companions now, I think the most important thing in missions is to trust your companions, I won't talk nonsense about this kind of thing... When I heard that you might not get better, I was worried that you would give up on yourself..."

Sun Fuzhou smiled wryly: "Sorry..."

Qiu Yun wiped his face: "I... I was afraid that he would give up too... Actually, I was the one who went up that day."

Sun Fuzhou patted her on the shoulder: "Don't worry, Li Ru is the same as me, with great fortune and destiny, and it will be a matter of time before he wakes up."

"I think that thing..."

Just when Qiu Yun was about to communicate with Sun Fuzhou while Shen Yuan was away, someone suddenly shouted in the distance:

"Dead!"
