Chapter 35 The Villa in the Mountain
Saturday, early morning.
In summer, I drove Xiaolan and Conan out of Tokyo city, heading north and into a dense deep mountains and forests.
They had already made an agreement with Yuanzi that they would arrive at her villa in the mountains before nine o'clock.
The sky is a bit gloomy today, with dark clouds covering the forest. It seems that a heavy rain is inevitable.
Compared with the noisy and bustling city, the forest is not only less crowded, but also has fresh air and lush branches and leaves, giving people a refreshing and fresh feeling, as if even breathing becomes sweet and delicious.
The car was driving on the forest road, looking at the scenery on both sides of the road, while driving in summer, I couldn't help but sigh: "The scenery here is really good! If you still have a chance, you must bring a tent next time. It is definitely a pleasure to travel here!"
However, Xiaolan did not answer Xia Ri's words, but pressed the car window, and the breeze gently blew her bangs. She lay on her seat and squinted her eyes comfortably.
Xia Ri looked at Conan sitting in the back row from the reversing mirror, and suddenly remembered his parents. He didn't know how big the parents of Conan were. He left this child at Xiaolan's house and ignored him for so many days. And after hearing from Xiaolan, Dr. Agasa even transferred to the Didan Primary School, which was very close to Xiaolan's house.
Are you planning to rely on Xiaolan’s house and live there for a long time?
"Conan, how are your parents' health? Are they getting better?" Xia Ri couldn't help asking.
Originally, Conan was also lying leisurely on the seat, looking out the view outside the window, but after hearing the summer problem, his body subconsciously tensed instantly.
"That..." Conan's eyes turned around after the round glasses for a few times. "It's much better, I should be discharged from the hospital in the next few days."
Xia Ri nodded. Maybe Dr. Agasa sent Conan to transfer school, but she didn't want Conan to abandon his studies while his parents were hospitalized.
Following the path, the car drove all the way to a cliff. Connecting the cliff was a long wooden bridge. In the abyss under the bridge, a river flowed rapidly. In summer, it was estimated that the width and strength of the wooden bridge were not possible. If you accidentally fall into the abyss, the car would definitely be destroyed and the person would die.
Opposite the bridge is the destination this time, which is the villa of Yuanzi. It is a three-story building surrounded by trees. In such a forest, this lonely villa looks extremely quiet.
"Huh!? Brother Xia Ri, look! That person on the bridge is so strange!"
At this moment, Xiaolan suddenly raised her right hand and pointed at a figure on the wooden bridge. Xia Ri looked in the direction of her finger. She saw a person wearing a cloak that covered her whole body and couldn't see her gender. She slowly walked down the wooden bridge and walked towards Yuanzi's villa.
Perhaps because he heard the sound of Xia Ri car or had some sense, the man in the cloak suddenly turned around and looked in the direction where Xia Ri and his people were.
Xia Ri clearly saw that under the cloak was a face wrapped in layers of bandages! His cold and dark eyes were facing Xia Ri's eyes, which made him feel excited.
What a cold look!!
Moreover, this man walked silently, and the color of his cloak was dark. If it weren't for Xiaolan, Xia Ri might not have discovered him at all!
Xiaolan and Conan were also shocked by the fierce look. They clenched their fists tightly, and felt that their hair was standing up.
"This person is really strange..." Xia Ri untied her seat belt and stared at the person's body. "There is a bandage wrapped around her face and her whole body is covered with a cloak. Maybe it's because she is burned on her whole body, so she can't see anyone."
Xiaolan swallowed her saliva, and when she heard Xia Ri explain this, she felt even more terrifying.
"This person...wouldn't he have to go to Yuanzi's villa, right?"
"Then I have to ask the garden, but I think since there is only this building here, it is impossible for him to go anywhere except the villa."
Xia Ri parked the car by the side of the road, then got out of the car, and saw that Xiaolan was still staring at the man blankly, and reached out to knock on the car window.
Dangdang…
"Okay, don't be stunned, get out of the car quickly! You may have to say hello to others later. Don't do anything rude at that time, have you heard?"
“…I know…”
After Xiaolan and Conan got off the bus, they each carried a small travel bag, then took a step and walked onto the wooden bridge.
The wooden bridge is much stronger than it looks. Walking on it, there is no other abnormality except for a slight shaking. Moreover, even if the wind blows from time to time, the wooden bridge only makes a slight "crunch".
It seems that someone must be constantly maintaining the bridge.
After walking down the wooden bridge, Xia Ri found that the mysterious man had disappeared. He had just looked down at the river water under the bridge, but he didn't pay attention to whether the man had entered the villa.
The wooden bridge is only ten meters away from the villa. I just walked to the front of the villa gate. Before they could ring the doorbell in summer, the door of the villa was suddenly opened from inside.
On the other side of the door, the garden with a black hairpin on its head and a black one-piece skirt walked out of the villa with a bright smile on its face.
"Brother Xia Ri, Xiaolan, you are finally here!"
When I saw Yuanzi again, Xia Ri found that her voice was still as energetic as ever. It seemed that as long as she was there, the people around her would never feel depressed. She was like the sun, just showing a smile, and she could infect others.
"I haven't seen you for a few days, Yuanzi, have you become more beautiful again!" Xia Ri politely stretched out his hand, gently grasped Yuanzi's smooth and tender little hands, and said jokingly, "Although the road is a bit difficult, the scenery here is very good. Thank you for inviting me to come here."
"Hehe..." Yuanzi smiled even happier. She let go and invited Xia Ri and the others into the villa.
The decoration in the villa is not luxurious, but it is spacious and bright, and it is indeed a good place to hold parties.
Xiaolan looked around, but did not see anyone else, and couldn't help but ask: "Sangzi, where are your sister and his friends? Haven't you come yet?"
"You are the last one to arrive. Everyone else has already arrived and are resting in their respective rooms."
Xiaolan was shocked and asked nervously: "All of them are here? What about the person with a strap just now!?"
"The person who helped tie the straps?" Yuanzi was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and asked strangely, "What are you talking about? Among the people who came today, there were no injuries or those with bandages!"
