MTL - Urban Tales of Demons and Spirits-Chapter 187 Hit the road
That night, we spent the last night staying in the owner's small hotel. In the early morning the next morning, we rushed out of the bus to get back to school. Bayi Chinese? W≈W≥W ≠. ≤8≈1≤Z≤W≥. = C≈O≈M ≠
"Goddess Su! You hurry up!" Shi Yitong shouted anxiously, "No matter how hard it is, I won't be able to catch the car! I have to go back to three or four classes!"
"Wait a minute!" Su Xiaoyu hurried downstairs, without knowing how long it took to take care of his head and clothes. He was carrying big bags and small things in his hand. ! "
"My ancestor, you finally come down." Shi Yitong breathed a sigh of relief, desperately beckoning to Su Xiaozhen, "Go and go!"
"Wait!" Su Xiaoyi exclaimed again.
"What have you forgotten again?" I asked helplessly.
"Guru! I've been keeping Guru at boss Xu these days!" Su Xiaoying said and hurried upstairs again. Seeing this scene, Shi Yitong and I both sighed with dissatisfaction.
"It seems that we can only catch the next bus," Shi Yitong said helplessly, "I certainly can't catch up with my class."
"Forget it, let her go." I laughed. "It is impossible for Su Xiaoyu to spend a few hours grinding each time he goes out."
"I knew it would be like this," Shi Yitong muttered. "That's why I asked for three or four classes in advance."
"So you finally plan to leave." At this time, Xu Yingchen's boss walked down the stairs with a smile.
We nodded and smiled at the friendly and kind boss.
"Well, we are going back. Thank you boss for taking care of us these days."
"Where and where, this is my business." Boss Xu said, "You should take care of me a lot during this time."
Shi Yitong and I both frowned slightly, did not understand the meaning of boss Xu. At this time, Su Xiaolu followed behind Boss Xu and murmured in his arms with the familiar black cat.
"I'm sorry, I almost forgot you. If you don't follow me back to school, I will be bad."
"Okay goddess, we still can't leave." Shi Yitong complained. This is no wonder that he has been carrying the heaviest luggage on his back since just now.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Su Xiaoyu put Goo on the ground, and only the spiritual cat followed Su Xiaoyu's feet lightly.
"I've been disturbed for a few days, boss Xu." Su Xiaoyi also said to boss Xu with a smile. "Speaking of it, I don't know why, I always think you are familiar."
Mr. Xu said with a smile, "Oh? Really?"
"It's like seeing you as a kid. But it's unlikely." Su Xiaoyi laughed. "It must be because of your smile that reminds me of my father. He is a very gentle and kind person."
"Is that so?" Boss Xu laughed even more happily. "That would be a great honor. Pay attention to safety on the road."
"Ok, no problem!"
So we left Xu Yingchen's small hotel. What we don't know is that after we left, Xu Yingchen stepped out of the counter slowly.
"A few of you have taken care of me these days, but this is true." Xu Yingchen murmured with a smile.
As he said, Xu Yingchen walked to the empty living room on the first floor, and the landscape painting was still hanging alone on the wall. He reached out and took the picture down, and placed it on the counter and examined it carefully.
"You're still not strong enough. I thought you could drag them on longer. If I knew this would happen, I wouldn't seal you in the paintings at first, but would just kill them. Useless things what."
Xu Yingchen shook his head and looked at the sky outside the window, "but ... although time is tight, it should be too late."
After saying this. A whirlwind blew out of nowhere in the inn. Later, where Xu Yingchen was standing, a piece of paper made of little men slowly drifted down, just falling on the landscape painting.
——————————————
The bus started slowly, and the three of us sat side by side in the last row of the bus that was lethargic.
I don't know when the sky will become drowsy. The clear blue sky was densely covered with dark clouds, and the dark clouds exerted pressure on the invisible.
I stumbled over the shoulder and felt Shi Yitong's voice ring in my ear.
"Gu Yu, Gu Yu."
"Why?" I opened my eyes and looked at Shi Yitong in dissatisfaction. Why was he so annoyed that he would bother me with dreams?
"Did you bring any toilet paper?" Shi Yitong pitifully pointed at his red nose and sucked, "I feel like I have a cold."
"No, neither Su Xiaoyong nor I have a cold. You, the five-three-thickest guy, have a cold?" I teased him, put my hands in my pockets, and took out a stack of napkins and passed them.
"Thank you." Shi Yitong took the paper and blew his nose, and when I closed my eyes and rested my mind and decided to hold it for a while, Shi Yitong spoke again.
"Hey, Gu Yu, you just seem to have dropped something."
"What?" I opened my eyes.
"On the ground, a piece of paper seems to have fallen out when you just pulled it out." Shi Yitong pointed to my feet, and I looked down, and sure enough, a yellow piece of paper was lying next to my feet.
what is this? Why don't I remember the stuff in my pocket?
I picked up the paper, opened it up, and held it.
This piece of paper is a painting, a huge fox grinning and showing sharp teeth, with nine huge tails dancing wildly in the wind.
I remember this painting. This is what I found in the storage room of Grandpa Shi Yitong in order to investigate the Jinhua cat. A scary nine-tailed fox was painted on it. I didn't know what happened at the time, so I hid the painting secretly, and later completely forgot the existence of the painting.
But how could it be in my pocket now?
I stared at this painting to get a god, and suddenly thought of the short poem Zhu Xuan said before leaving.
That's right, I once saw that poem in Wen Jiubai's ancient book. That is the earliest poem about Nine-tailed Fox recorded in "Lv's Spring and Autumn", "Dayu Tushan Folk Song."
-Sui Sui White Fox, Jiu Tai Pang Pang.
——Become a family, I'm all Youchang.
No way. Could it be that……
At this time, the bus stopped suddenly with a sudden brake, and my head hit the front seat back uncontrollably. Although not caught, the whole person was startled.
"what's up?"
"what happened!"
It seemed that it wasn't just me who was scared. The passengers on the bus complained for a while. Shi Yitong and Su Xiaoyi were also awakened, Su Xiaoyi looked around, "Where have we been?"
"I don't know. The car suddenly stopped." I hurriedly folded the painting of the nine-tailed fox and put it back in my pocket, while saying.
When the passengers in the car whispered, the driver stood up and said sorry.
"Well, passengers, I'm really sorry. The fog is too big, and the traffic conditions in front can not be seen at all. I just ran into a car and was too dangerous. It is not far from the station here, Just let everyone get off the bus. "
The passengers immediately complained.
"what's up."
"How can it be so irresponsible?"
it's foggy? How can there be fog? Obviously the sky was clear when we first got on the car.
I stood up in doubt and looked out of the glass window.
Sure enough, I don't know when the window was covered with a thick layer of fog, the visibility was less than 50 meters, and the roads, pedestrians and buildings could not see anything. No wonder the driver would stop here.
However, with our familiarity with Yancheng, we could barely recognize that this was a block not far from the school.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." The driver uncle was still apologizing to the passengers. "The fog is too heavy. For everyone's safety, please get off the bus and walk."
"How can it be foggy?" Shi Yitong muttered, followed the team on the car and got out of the car. He looked at the dense fog around with the same confusion, "It was just so overcast, I thought it was going to rain. What kind of weather is this place. "
"Forget it, it's not too far away from school anyway, let's go back. It should be exercise. Right grunt?" Su Xiaoying's mentality is very optimistic, the cat in her arms seemed to respond to her. Called out.
"Forget it, what the goddess said is what." Shi Yitong shrugged.
But even if the two of them said so, my heart was always tight. My intuition tells me something is wrong, but I can't say anything intellectually.
This weird dense fog feels like a dull big stone pressing on my chest, or a ghost press that wakes up in the middle of the night and can't stand up anymore. There is a strange feeling that can't be explained.
"How long are we going to walk?" Shi Yitong complained suddenly broke the quiet air, "I have sore shoulders."
"What anxious, this road is not very close. The fog is so heavy, be patient." Su Xiaozhen said indifferently, and asked me by the way, "What time is it?"
"Uh ..." I glanced at the phone. "It's half past eleven."
"I'll just say, it's time for lunch, no wonder my stomach keeps cooing." Shi Yitong said with a smirk.
"Come on, you know how to eat all day long." Su Xiaozhen just frowned, and frowned. "But ... it's 11:30? I remember when we went out, it was seven o'clock, and the car time was At half past eight, if we count it as normal time, we should be around ten o'clock. Even if it is delayed for another half an hour because of the weather, we should get off at half past ten. "
"I looked at the watch when I got out of the car. It was ten twenty." After Shi Yitong finished speaking, his expression became unnatural.
"So in other words, we have been here for more than an hour." Su Xiaoying's eyes were as sharp as an eagle. She stopped and looked at the dense fog around her. "But you have walked so long, you Have you ever seen a fork in this road? "
