Intertwined Destinies of Bonds

Chapter 150: The number you dialed is empty

"Of course, the amulet prayer ceremony is a very crucial part of the October Festival, and it is also an important way for us to raise funds. Every two years in the October Festival, the participants include not only the locals who believe in the purple silk snake god, but also many wanderers. He will also rush back from a long distance, just to get a prayer talisman to convey his heart to the Zi Ling Snake God. But this prayer talisman is not directly bought with money, but exchanged with things." Zhuo Zhuo replied.

"Exchange something?" Nangong Yu asked.

"Yes, this strange custom has been formed since the very beginning of the god sacrifice ceremony. Everyone seems to think that buying prayer symbols with money is disrespectful to the gods. Only by exchanging things that you really love can you show your sincerity. The phenomenon of changing talismans, for example, some people use clothes, some use food, some use jewelry, and some use their own collections. Every year when people change prayer talismans, there are all kinds of tricks, which is an eye-opener. What is even more strange is that once, An old man insisted on exchanging his cemetery for a prayer talisman, saying it was to save his dead wife." Zhuo Zhuo said with a smile.

"So that's the case." Nangong Yu nodded thoughtfully, thinking that what the figure in the dream said should be true, so she bid farewell to Zhuoyou and went home in the rain.

As the evening approached, the rain gradually lightened. Nangong Yu waited and waited but did not see Yu Chigong coming back, so she picked up her mobile phone and called him, wanting to ask him when he would come back, and by the way, ask him what he would like to have for dinner.

But when the phone call came, a tactful female voice rang out:

"Sorry, the phone number you dialed is empty, please check and dial again..."

Nangongyu looked at the phone suspiciously. The name displayed on the phone was Brick's name, and the phone number was not bad, and she was very sure that she did not press the wrong key, but why did she get an empty number when she called?

He hung up the phone and dialed twice, but it still prompted an empty number.

Is there something wrong with your phone?

He looked through the address book again, found Peng Ji's number, confirmed it was correct, and dialed it.

The phone rang twice, and I heard Peng Ji laughing on the other end: "Oh, it's so rare, Nangong Yu, you actually took the initiative to call me, do you miss me..."

"I'm sorry, I made a wrong call." Nangong Yu immediately hung up the phone, and it seemed that the phone was fine, so he quickly opened the address book and dialed Yu Chigong's number, but the result was still an empty number.

His heart sank, a layer of sweat oozed from the tip of his nose, and his brain was a little dazed.

Taking a deep breath, he stood up from the sofa, calmed himself down, and dialed Lin Qingyuan's number again.

"Sorry, the phone number you dialed is empty, please check and dial again..." The same prompt sounded again on the phone.

How is this going? !

Nangongyu's mind went blank for a moment, and she sat back on the sofa all of a sudden, her expression changed.

Why did the phone numbers that I could still get through in the afternoon suddenly become empty numbers?

Did something happen to the two of them?

No, it shouldn't be, if something happened, it should be shut down or no one answered, how could it be an empty number?

However, if there was no accident, why did the phone numbers become empty?

No, I have to go and see it quickly!

Nangongyu stood up from the sofa with a "chuckle" and rushed into the rain without an umbrella.

He left Xiuxin Garden and waited anxiously by the side of the road for more than ten minutes before a taxi arrived.

"Brother, drive quickly, I have something urgent." Nangong Yu urged.

"Where are you going, Xiong-Di?" the driver asked unhurriedly, turning the steering wheel.

"I'll go..." Nangong Yu was taken aback, yes, where is he going?Where does Wang Shu live?Didn't Wang Shu live with him all the time?Where did he go at noon?

"Xiong-Di?" Seeing Nangong Yu staring straight ahead without saying a word, the driver knocked on the baffle in the middle of the seat.

"Wait, let me think about it." Nangong Yu supported his forehead, his brain was spinning rapidly, suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed, he remembered an address, and hurriedly told the driver.

The driver got the order and drove to No. 23 Guangyi Road without hesitation.

Guangyi Road is in the south of the city center, about half an hour's drive from Guangyang Road where Xiuxinyuan is located. However, there are few cars on rainy days and the road is smooth. They will arrive in ten minutes.

Nangongyu got out of the car, hurried to the door of the apartment building, shook off the water on her body, and pressed the doorbell of 301 with trembling fingers.

But the music rang for a long time and no one answered.

The rain was still falling intermittently, and Nangongyu's whole body was drenched. Standing in front of the door, he pressed it again and again anxiously, until he was discouraged and burst into tears.

Is everything a dream?

Why did the brick suddenly disappear?

The phone couldn't be reached, no one opened the door, and even Wang Shu disappeared together.

What is going on in all this? !

With a sound of "squeak", the door suddenly opened, Nan Gongyu took a step back in surprise, and saw a middle-aged aunt coming out of the building with a bag and an umbrella, as if she was going to the street to buy vegetables.

Nangong Yu was overjoyed, and quickly wiped the water on her face and asked, "Sister, I'm sorry to bother you, but I want to ask if anyone lives in 301 now?"

The aunt looked at him suspiciously, nodded: "Yes."

"Is there a man named Wang Shu living in 301?"

"Wang Shu?" The aunt thought for a while, then shook her head, "No, I know all the people around here, but I've never heard of anyone named Wang Shu."

"Then who lives in 301 now?" Nangong Yu asked anxiously.

"Excuse me, who are you?" The aunt asked immediately without thinking.

"My name is Nangong Yu. By the way, Wang Shu is also called Lin Qingyuan. Have you ever heard of the name Lin Qingyuan? Does he live here..."

"No, I haven't heard of it." The aunt was obviously taken aback when she heard the name "Nangongyu". Turning a corner, seeing that Nangong Yu was no longer in sight, she immediately called.

Nangong Yu stared blankly at the aunt hurried away, leaned helplessly on the anti-theft door, looked heartbroken at the water bubbles on the ground that were aroused by the rain, watched the water bubbles gradually grow bigger, and then suddenly burst, feeling that she was The current situation is nothing more than this, everything is like a dream bubble, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.

After a long time, he slowly stood up, walked into the rain in a daze, and walked towards Xiuxinyuan on foot.

The bricks are gone.

He obviously said he would be back after noon, but disappeared without warning at night, without leaving any news or saying hello, as if he never existed.

But Brick, aren't you too cruel, you made a promise with your own mouth, but in the end you didn't keep it.

Since it can't be fulfilled, why make this promise again?

Are promises just for deceiving people?

Nangongyu smiled wryly, Brick, your style seems a bit too similar to my mother.

The rain was pattering, and the wind was very cold, which pierced Nangongyu's skin and his heart. When he walked dejectedly through two intersections, his cell phone rang suddenly.

There was a burst of ecstasy in his heart, trembling, he put his hand into his pocket, took it out and looked, his eyes dimmed again, the call was from Excellence.

"Where are you, Nangong Yu?" Zhuo Zhuo lifted the plate on the dining table and found that the food was a bit cold.

"The bricks are gone." Nangongyu didn't listen to Zhuoyou's words at all, and stared blankly at the front as she mechanically moved forward.

"The bricks are missing? Why are the bricks missing?" Zhuoyue was taken aback, and the glass cover in his hand almost broke on the dining table.

"His and Wang Shu's phone numbers have become empty numbers, and I can't find their people."

"Empty number? Impossible? I called them just now. Is there something wrong with your mobile phone? Wait, I'll give them a call." Zhuoyue hung up the phone and immediately called Yu Chigong again. It rang a few times and was quickly connected.

Zhuozhuo talked about Nangong Yu's situation, and Yu Chigong was silent for a while on the other end before slowly saying: "I added him to the blacklist."

"Black...blacklist?" Zhuoyue sweated madly, "You kid, why did you add him to the blacklist?!"
