Chapter 2: The storm is coming

Xiao Xia was creepy!

Especially behind her head, the presence of a foreign object from the bedside lamp, made her unable to shrink into the bedside to pretend to be asleep. She turned over and sat up, and quickly rushed over and twisted the bedside lamp on the side of her face.

The warm yellow light suddenly lit up, sweeping out a dim semicircle in the room, but only illuminated most of the room, and the bathroom door was still in darkness.

Xiao Xia widened her eyes, trying to see through the darkness, fearing that there would be something unusual there. However, as if she had a sense of her, another "gudong" sounded in panic!

Almost as conditioned reflex, Xiao Xia rushed over and turned on the bedside lamp on the other side, completely forgot which side the feeling that made her scalp numb just now came from!

Her movements were urgent and messy, and her palms touched the bottom of the porcelain desk lamp, but before she could touch the switch, she felt a burning feeling! She subconsciously shrank her hand, but she didn't expect that her hand was stuck to the porcelain seat. After pulling it, she dragged the desk lamp back to the bed!

"Save me, it's so hot!" The desk lamp made a man cry.

Xiao Xia screamed in surprise, and she rolled and crawled out of bed, and didn't care about anything, and rushed directly to the bathroom - A Bai was there, she was an amazing Yabin during her lifetime, and she would definitely have a solution!

As she broke into the bathroom door, she happened to see a vase tilted to the ground, trying hard to "climb" up, like a turtle that just flipped over the shell!

Gudong Gudong--

The vase struggled for a few more times and finally stood up!

This vase is a decoration placed on the table in the room. The snow-white bottle has a faint red pattern, which is extremely beautiful. Xiao Xia loves its simple and gorgeousness and has played with it for a while before going to bed. At this moment, this object that should have been inanimate is standing in the local area like a ghost possessed, tilting his head to look at her, and the black bottle mouth makes an intermittent whimper!

Xiao Xia was completely shocked and stood in the bathroom door and couldn't move. It was not until a sound in the bathroom called her that she realized that it was Abai and rushed in in a hurry!

The silver bracelet was placed on the washstand, emitting a little silver light. It was indeed Ah Bai calling her!

She rushed over and picked up the bracelet. When its warm texture spread in her palm, she felt that the heat that had been wandering around gradually disappeared. She tried to untie the sealing thread, but the more anxious she was, the more she was, the more she was, the more she could not untie it! However, footsteps continued to sound and the sound of opening the door!

This scared Xiaoxia, thinking that the bathroom door was opened, and with force on his hand, the thread filaments were pulled down!

"What happened? I heard you scream!" Abai asked with concern, "Look at you, your face is covered with sweat!"

"Don't you feel it?" Xiaoxia looked at the bathroom door and closed it well. Now that Ah Bai is with her, she feels much safer, but unexpectedly, Ah Bai doesn't even feel the evil things outside. "The vase - the vase and the desk lamp are alive, and they keep saying that they are hot, asking me to save them, and cry like a man!"

Seeing that Xiao Xia's face was white and her body was trembling, Abai hurriedly passed by the wall. Xiao Xia opened the bathroom door and followed her out. However, the situation in the room made them look at each other - there was nothing unusual. The white vase was placed on the table and the desk lamp was very normal.

"Just clearly--"

"Shh--" Abai interrupted Xiaoxia's words, slowly floated to the table, looked at the vase and then, and then looked at the desk lamp.

"How is it?" Xiao Xia asked anxiously.

"It's normal, no ghost energy!"

"But me - was it because I had a nightmare?" Xiao Xia rubbed to the bed half-believingly, and plucked the courage to touch the desk lamp very quickly. The touch felt slightly cool, without any warmth, let alone hot.

She looked at her hands. Although the feeling was too real just now, now facing the facts in front of her, she began to wonder if she was dreaming or being trapped by nightmare.

Just when she thought she was making a joke and lied about military affairs, Ah Bai sniffed, "This room is so human, someone has come in! But don't be afraid, now there are only two of us."

"That is, the thief just now? Could it be that the footsteps I heard were--"

"I don't know either, but I think what scared you just now was not an hallucination or a nightmare. It might be someone pretending to be a ghost and deliberately scaring you. Or there is indeed something strange, and they left again as soon as you entered the bathroom!"

Xiao Xia didn't say anything for a moment because Abai came to a conclusion a little beyond her expectations. After thinking for a while, she grabbed the clothes on the bed, "If it's a ghost, you can solve it; if it's a human, I'll go to the store owner now. I remembered that his attitude towards me has always been strange today, and maybe the problem lies with him!"

"Don't be impulsive!" Ah Bai stopped Xiao Xia, who was wearing clothes randomly. "It's so late now, and we have no evidence. How can we disturb others? If you make a mistake, wouldn't it be rude? In this way, everything is safe now. You sleep for a while and I will protect you. Tomorrow morning, you go and test the store owner, and then we come back from the village to think of countermeasures."

Xiao Xia thought for a moment, "Okay, it's not that alarming the snake. If you come out, they will run away in fear. It's probably not that powerful. It's a black store! Alas, I can't change my reckless personality!"

"But some people just love your rampant personality!" Abai smiled and joked.

Xiaoxia didn't say anything back, but she felt a little accomplished. When Ah Baicai and her came back, she was very reserved and shy, and now she is much happier and relaxed. If she hadn't been thinking about finding Sima Nan, Ruan Zhan said that humans should not be with spiritual bodies for a long time. She really wanted to be eternal friends with Ah Bai!

Afterwards, she and Ah Bai studied the matter of testing the shop owner tomorrow, and then returned to bed to continue sleeping. However, once they calmed down, they remembered what had happened just now. With Ah Bai, she was no longer afraid, but she became curious.

What's going on? If it's a ghost, it's nothing, or if it's malicious intimidation, or if it's something to ask her for help, there will be no other explanation. If it's a human, and it's strange that she's still the store owner. She didn't bring much money, nor expensive jewelry, and it's not easy to say that she was trying to kill her life. She has never been to this place in her life, and of course there are no grudges, let alone revenge. If it's for her beauty, she believes that she's not so beautiful, and she believes in her feelings, and the store owner's interest in her is definitely not that aspect.

Could it be that he had any grievances to ask her for help? But what kind of grievances should be used to scare people like this?!

She tossed and turned and couldn't sleep until dawn, but after a while, she had a strange dream again, but when she woke up, she completely forgot, and only vaguely remembered that she was walking in an empty town.

What's even more strange is that when he was looking for the store owner in the morning, he was not here. It is said that he went out to do business at dawn.

This is a coincidence, or is he hiding himself at all?

Xiao Xia wanted to delve into it, but a large group of people drove three cars to go to the countryside to promote legal publicity. She had to give up this plan first, hurriedly seal Abai in her bracelet and left.

This day was extremely difficult. Not only was the road that had not been repaired was extremely bumpy, but she almost vomited out all the food she ate last night, but what made her almost vomited was the work situation on this day. The good legal publicity was a personal report meeting of Deputy Mayor Mao Fu, plus a sub-report meeting of several other officials, as well as several hours of reporter interviews and TV videos!

There is no such thing as them in the other three places!

This made her secretly swear in her heart that even if she walks with her legs tomorrow, she will go to the next village by herself and never be with these people again!

It was not until dusk that the group left in a mighty manner. The dust raised behind the rear of the car was the only thing left that day. I don’t know if God felt disgusted, but the return journey was only halfway through, and the sky suddenly changed. The clear summer dusk suddenly became dark, and the wind was blowing, and it felt like the dark clouds were pressing down. Three cars and fifteen people were pressing tightly on the mountain road.

This made Xiaoxia a little uneasy, and Mao Fu laughed, "It's really a storm that is coming and the wind is filling the building. Only then can you experience the desolation and change of life."

Xiao Xia didn't want to pay attention to the deputy mayor Mao's fake book bag, but when she thought that she was on the ground, it would be difficult to offend people too much. These remote places had weak legal awareness, and some unreasonable officials were like the local emperor. If there was anything unfavorable to her, she would have no place to cry! So she just squeezed out a smile and responded to a few words.

Maybe it was because of Xiaoxia's nervousness and compliments that made Mao Fu very happy. He began to comfort Xiaoxia, "Don't worry, the climate in the mountains is like this. It rains and sunny at the same time. The weather changes faster than a woman's face! Haha, of course, it's not a well-educated, beautiful and gentle woman like Miss Yue, right, Xiao Liu?" He patted the driver sitting in front.

Driver Liu nodded quickly, but before he could match him, he heard a 'crunch' sound, and the whole car rushed forward quickly, and the car suddenly stopped!

"What's wrong, Xiao Liu?" Mao Fu was laughing proudly just now, and he didn't expect this situation at all. His broad and shiny forehead hit the front seat, and he was very annoyed.

"I just saw a man running to the front of the car! Strangely, the man ran so fast that he disappeared in a flash!" Driver Liu's pale face reflected in the rearview mirror, which was obviously scared enough.

"This section is a mountain road, who are there in the wilderness? You must be dazzled!" Mao Fu rebuked again.

Driver Liu muttered a few words in timidly, but he didn't dare to refute it, but he looked like he believed in his eyesight.

"Drive quickly. Mayor Mao was right. You must be dazzled! Why didn't I see anything?" The person sitting in the passenger seat was Zhao Jiayuan, who was trying to treat Xiao Xia with a bracelet yesterday. It seemed that he was Mao Fu's direct descendant, so he followed him all the time, but because Xiao Xia had obvious disgust for him, he didn't speak.

"Look at you, you fool, the brakes are so urgent, look, they are all turned off!" He laughed and scolded.

Driver Liu didn't say anything and started to fire again, but after driving for a long time, the car just couldn't start!

"What's wrong?" Mao Fu was a little annoyed.

"The engine is turned off." Driver Liu replied.

"Nonsense, I know, but why can't I open it?"

"I-I don't know, I'll go down and take a look." Driver Liu said, opening the car door and getting out of the car.

Xiaoxia was unwilling to stay in the car with these two people, so she followed her. After a while, she found that the sky was getting darker and the mountain wind that had become smaller had already brought some moisture.

"Otherwise, let Xiao Liu repair the car alone. Let's go back to town with the car behind. I'll see that day--" Zhao Jiayuan got out of the car at some point, and suggested to Mao Fu, who was still sitting in the car, "It's not too much rain. This road has not been repaired yet, and the dirt road is slipping, which is too unsafe."

Among the three cars, their car was in the front and opened a distance. Only then did the latter two cars follow.

"Okay." Mao Fu crawled out of the car with a little annoyance, and immediately changed his smile to Xiaoxia, "I'm sorry, Miss Yue, the town's finances have fully supported the construction of the new town, and the car is not very good. It's just a brake, and it's so hot that it's completely dead. I hope Miss Yue won't mind, and squeeze the two cars behind us with it, and I'm so rude!"

Xiao Xia didn't want to squeeze with them, but the dark weather was going to swallow people, which made her feel a little scared and nodded!

However, things were not so easy to solve. When they walked to the two cars, they learned that the two cars were dead and could no longer start the car.

These two cars were parked normally and did not brake urgently. Why did they die of fire?!

"Damn it's weird!" Someone said something.

In an instant, the scene was very quiet. No one spoke, only the mountain breeze made the trees on both sides of the mountain road rustling. Xiao Xia looked up and found that several people had their faces turned blue, as if they were a little scared.

"What should I do?" Zhao Jiayuan broke the silence and asked Mao Fu.

Mao Fu hesitated for a moment, as if it was difficult to make a decision, but finally he spoke, "It is possible to go back to the village now, but it is not far from the town, otherwise we can walk back."

"I'm afraid it will catch the heavy rain, this is a ghost weather!" said a reporter from the province.

"This journalist from the province may not know that judging from the weather, it will be difficult to stop when it rains. When it gets dark, the mountain roads are slippery and driving is even more dangerous. When you take a small road from here, there is only a mountain road of more than three miles. If you walk fast, you will arrive in about an hour. I am very familiar with this area, and there are some rain gear and lighting tools on the car that can be handled for a while." Zhao Jiayuan of course fully supports Mao Fu.

When he said this, the scene became chaotic, and he said everything in a verbal way.

"I think this is the case. Everyone has a democratic vote. The weather is not waiting for anyone. Everyone decides to act early!" Mao Fu waved his hand as if he made a decision. "If you agree to walk away immediately, please stand on my side."

In fact, people in these remote towns are already superstitious, and they are already very surprised to see the weather suddenly change. In addition, the car with excellent maintenance and sudden breakage on the road, Driver Liu said with confidence that he saw something running over in front of the front of the car. Everyone wanted to leave this place where there was no village or shop as soon as possible, but they were just afraid that heavy rain would come, and walking on the mountain road was difficult and dangerous.

At this moment, the vote was held, and the people in the town were unwilling to sing opposite Mao Fu. The provincial reporters and Xiao Xia did not understand the specific situation, so they even passed the plan to walk back to the town without permission. And once the decision was made, the group took action immediately, leaving only three drivers to watch the car.

After walking for about half an hour, a group of twelve people came to a fork road. They walked to the left and were still mountain roads, but the terrain was flat to the right. From a distance, they looked like a newly built town. After walking through a dry ditch, they were asphalt roads.

"Let's go through this new town!" Xiao Xia suggested, "The road here has been repaired and should be closer."
