Chapter 39: Throwing the handkerchief (1)

Views:

After more than ten days of intense travel, it is really a happy thing to be able to relax on the sofa at home. Lin Banxia simply took a shower, then went into the bedroom to rest, and slept until Ji Leshui went to get off work at night.

Ji Leshui still did not dare to enter Lin Banxia's house, so he knocked on the door for a while and called Lin Banxia up.

"Get up, Lin Banxia, Lin Banxia, are you still alive?" Ji Leshui shouted outside the door.

Lin Banxia got up from the bed, rubbed her messy hair, slipped to the door, and saw Ji Leshui outside.

"Why did you come back so early?" Lin Banxia asked.

"Get off work early." Ji Leshui said with a smile, "By the way, where's the boss?"

"It seems to be next door." Lin Banxia said, "Go over there and see?"

The two went to the next door, and sure enough, they saw Song Qingluo and the small cave sitting next to him in the living room. The big and the small are sitting on the sofa, so they look very harmonious.

"Small cave, small cave." When Ji Leshui saw the small cave, he immediately smiled brightly, rushed to the side of the small cave, and hugged the small cave in his arms, "I came back from get off work, did you miss me?"

Xiaoku rubbed Ji Leshui's hand with its smooth forehead, and Ji Leshui immediately became silly. When Lin Banxia saw that he and Xiaoku got along so harmoniously, he completely let go of his worries.

In the evening, the three of them went to the gate of the nearby community to have a meal together as usual. Ji Leshui curiously asked about Lin Banxia's travel experience in Russia.

Lin Banxia told him what he could say, and Ji Leshui listened with envy.

"By the way, Pinellia, while you were traveling..." Ji Leshui said hesitantly, "Your family seems to be looking for you."

"Huh?" Lin Banxia's action of adding vegetables stopped.

"They called your former classmate, who happened to know me and came to ask me." Ji Leshui said, "You... do you want to call back and ask?"

"No." Lin Banxia shook her head.

"Okay." Ji Leshui didn't force it.

Lin Banxia went to the toilet halfway through. Ji Leshui lowered her head and happily looked for chicken in the spicy chicken, when she heard Song Qingluo ask softly, "Do you know his family?"

"I don't know." Ji Leshui said, "Although I went to the same school as Banxia in high school, I only started to get acquainted with it in college, but our place is small. I have heard some rumors about Banxia's family..."

"Is it convenient to say?" Song Qingluo asked politely.

"This... there shouldn't be any inconvenience." Ji Leshui scratched his head and told Song Qingluo what he knew. In fact, all the classmates in the class knew about these things, so it's not a secret. "It's Banxia since childhood. His parents are gone, and he grew up with other relatives. Later, there was an accident at the relative's house, and the trouble was very unpleasant. After that, he didn't have much contact with his family. He earned the college tuition by himself. He was very poor, but he didn't ask for a penny from his family, so I think he might not have a good relationship with his relatives."

"He has a sister?" Song Qingluo asked.

"Yeah, he has a younger sister who he loves very much." Ji Leshui finally found a piece of chicken in the countless red peppers and stuffed it into his mouth contentedly, "But there is something strange."

"What?" Song Qingluo asked.

"It's just that he doesn't seem to have much contact with his sister, at least never before us... It seems that the sister is very strictly controlled by the family, and she is not allowed to contact Banxia." Ji Leshui said, "This matter Banxia is also mentioned. After a sentence or two, he said that his sister was not doing well at home. When he bought the house, he just thought that he would take her over when she was older. What's the matter? Big brother, what is the matter? Son?"

"When he came back, he seemed to have received a call from his house, so I just wanted to know." Song Qingluo replied.

"That's strange." Ji Leshui said, "But boss, if you can, you'd better not tell your family's sister or something in front of Banxia. Although he is slow, he must be sad in his heart."

"Okay, I see." Song Qingluo nodded.

Lin Banxia happened to come back from the toilet and asked what the two of them were talking about. Ji Leshui made a random excuse to fool them, but Song Qingluo didn't say much afterward. Lin Banxia thought he was tired and didn't think much about it. The three of them were full and went back.

Lin Banxia went to bed, thinking that he would have to go to work tomorrow, his overlord's leave was not timely, and the boss was very unhappy. But it doesn't matter, this time the remuneration has already been sent to his bank. Converted from a hundred thousand dollars to RMB, it is a full 800,000. Lin Banxia is very satisfied with this.

The next day, Lin Banxia went to work.

When he arrived at the unit, Lin Banxia was immediately called into the office by the leader and asked him if he still wanted to do it. Of course, the leader's tone was still very euphemistic. After all, Lin Banxia has been doing this kind of work this year. There are really not many people who are not too tired or too bitter and do not need psychological counseling. Most of them come here and work for a year and a half at most.

"Actually, it's not that I don't want to do it." Lin Banxia has always been a very candid person, facing the boss's questioning, she said very straightforwardly, "It's just that I recently found a particularly profitable part-time job, and sometimes I have to take a leave of absence. ."

"Do you really want to do it or don't want to do it?" The boss thought about it and said, "Are you busy with part-time jobs?"

"It's not too busy," Lin Banxia explained.

"Do you think this will work?" After thinking about it, the boss gave a solution, "In the future, your salary will be calculated according to the number of days, and you will be paid as many days as there are days, but then you will not be able to match your partner, you will work. A little bigger."

As soon as Lin Banxia heard it, he immediately agreed. He didn't intend to keep the job, but he didn't expect the boss to want to keep him.

After talking with the boss, he decided to re-sign another labor contract with the unit in a few days. Lin Banxia went to work happily.

When he got to the office, he heard what his colleagues seemed to be talking about, and when he leaned over to ask, he realized that this time was not peaceful everywhere, so their workload was particularly heavy. Just a few days before Lin Banxia returned to China, a very serious accident happened at an amusement park called Jiayue Paradise in the western suburbs.

A running roller coaster suddenly derailed and fell from a distance of more than 30 meters. All seven people on the roller coaster survived.

"It's fortunate that you're not here, because we've been busy with this matter for two or three days." Colleagues and Lin Banxia muttered, lamenting his good luck, "The car was badly damaged, and it fell from such a high place. It's almost impossible to see what it looks like - all the smashed things on the ground, I can't even eat when I think about it now."

Lin Banxia was also a little surprised. He said, "Why did the roller coaster fall? Wasn't the amusement park repaired?"

"I don't know." The colleague said, "The accident is still under investigation... But I heard that it seems to be caused by the aging of the equipment. Hey, I usually don't dare to sit on these things. It's better now. I'm afraid I won't be interested in my life. already."

Lin Banxia also felt a little uncomfortable, not because of fear, but because most of the people who went to the amusement park were family members. Before the accident, everyone must have sat there happily. I didn't expect such a thing to happen suddenly. It is also unknown how many families will be affected. He remembered something and felt a little down.

Today is his first day back to work, and he has nothing to do. When Lin Banxia was on the night shift at night, he saw the roller coaster accident mentioned by his colleague. He clicked on the news page and saw a row of dazzling characters: The roller coaster derailed. None of the seven tourists survived!

It was accompanied by the photo after the roller coaster fell. Lin Banxia took a few glances before remembering that he had been to this amusement park when he was in college. It was a class activity, but because the tickets were too expensive, he was not willing to enter. After looking at the door for a while, I heard screams and laughter coming from inside.

The amusement park must have been closed now, Lin Banxia thought regretfully, and didn't know if she would have a chance to play in the future.

At six o'clock in the morning, Lin Banxia got off work on time and went to the roadside to eat something, so he wandered home and washed briefly, changed his clothes and started to catch up on sleep.

In the drowsiness, Lin Banxia heard a strange sound, crunching, if he had to say it, it seemed like someone was chewing glass bubbles. He slept in a daze, opened his eyes blankly, and said, "Who's there?"

The sound came from the closet.

Lin Banxia suddenly woke up. He sat up and glanced at the time. It was twelve o'clock in the afternoon, and he had only slept for six hours. The thick curtains on the windows were drawn tightly, and the room was dark. The sound in the closet became louder and louder, Lin Banxia put on her shoes and walked to the closet. He held down the cabinet door and was about to open it to both sides. In the darkness, a pair of small, bone-like hands stretched out and grabbed the corner of Lin Banxia's clothes.

Lin Banxia was stunned for a moment, and said, "Small cave?"

Xiao Cave's round head then popped out, and his dark eyes looked at Lin Banxia with an innocent look. Lin Banxia asked, "Why are you here?" He opened the wardrobe door completely, but he didn't see anything. It was empty, except for a few clothes he usually wore.

"What are you doing?" Lin Banxia was a little strange. He bent down and picked Xiaokuo up. Xiaokuo was just a small bone frame and very light. It snorted twice and put its chin on Lin Banxia's. On his shoulders, he was coquettish like a child.

Lin Banxia's heart softened immediately, and she wiped the back of her bare head: "Why are you running here, it's dark in the cabinet..."

The little cave hummed.

Lin Banxia was holding it, and was about to go to the living room, but heard a creaking sound in his ear, and now it was clear. He turned his head and saw the small jawbone of Xiao Cave was chewing up and down. It was like chewing on something, making the crunch he had just heard.

"What are you eating?" Lin Banxia was shocked.

Xiao Cave couldn't speak, and showed an innocent expression to Lin Banxia, but the movements in his mouth did not stop.

Afraid that he ate something unclean, Lin Banxia hurriedly reached out and carefully opened its jawbone. Who would have guessed that a round eye was pulled out from it. This eye was almost entirely white, and the pupil was only the tip of a needle. It was so big, but it made Lin Banxia inexplicably see something familiar. Has he seen this thing somewhere? ? ? Lin Banxia was thinking, when she saw the eyeball twisted a bit, as if it was elastic, and rolled from her heart to the ground, rolling all the way to the bottom of the bed.

"Huh??" Lin Banxia immediately reacted and wanted to pick it up, but when he pouted his butt to look inside, he didn't see anything, the bulging eyeballs just disappeared for no reason. in front of his eyes.

Lin Banxia was a little helpless. After getting up from the ground, the corner of his clothes was caught by the small hole. The small hole contained his own bones. look. It was only then that Lin Banxia realized that Xiao Kuu was indeed eating the eyeballs just now as candy, and he said helplessly: "Xiao Kuu, you can't put everything in your mouth, some things are dirty, you will have diarrhea if you eat them. ."

Xiao Kuu held his fingers and chirped twice, not sure if he understood, but he looked aggrieved and looked pitiful as if the lollipop had been robbed. No way, Lin Banxia had no choice but to take out a jelly from the refrigerator to relieve Xiaokuo's cravings. This jelly was still a snack that Ji Leshui had put in the refrigerator before, and I didn't know if it had expired.

After eating the jelly, Xiao Cave was satisfied, sitting on the sofa obediently shaking his two thin leg bones. Seeing that he looked like a child, Lin Banxia simply put Peppa Pig on him and went to sleep for a while.

When Lin Banxia woke up again, Song Qingluo had already returned. Lin Banxia was awakened by the smell of the food. When she woke up, she saw a table of good dishes in the living room. The dishes were very rich, sweet and sour pork ribs, steamed Mandarin fish, and even a pot of old hen soup. Lin Banxia was a little surprised when she happened to see Song Qingluo come out of the kitchen, reaching out and taking off the apron around her waist.

"So many dishes? Are you celebrating something?" Lin Banxia asked curiously.

"No, I have nothing to do today." Song Qingluo said, "I stopped by the vegetable market."

Lin Banxia snorted, turned her head and found that Xiao Kuo was still sitting on the sofa watching Peppa Pig. She had watched more than 40 episodes.

"Xiaokuu seems to have eaten something today, it's in the closet." Lin Banxia was really hungry, so she went to the kitchen to get some food and told Song Qingluo about this afternoon, "A spherical thing, like eyeballs."

"It's okay, let him eat." Song Qingluo said, "It's not bad to eat."

Lin Banxia ate a piece of spareribs, narrowed her eyes happily, and said, "You are really good at cooking, but what is that eyeball thing

Song Qingluo said calmly, "It's the last pride of your house number."

Lin Banxia: "?"

Song Qingluo: "Forget it, it's nothing."

Lin Banxia: "0.0 Oh."

Song Qingluo thought to herself that it was no wonder that when she came back, she saw that the house number was crooked. It turned out that Lin Banxia was so angry with her. Thinking about it carefully, it was really pitiful.

The ribs are delicious, the fish is delicious, and even the fried lotus root silk is so suitable for Lin Banxia's taste, Lin Banxia eats with tears in her eyes, but Song Qingluo just tasted it, and sat on the side watching Lin Banxia feast.

"Ah, it's still delicious at home." Lin Banxia sniffed, "Have you rested these two days?"

"Well." Song Qingluo said, "It's nothing."

"That's great." Lin Banxia said with a smile, "I can rest for a few days now."

Xiao Weiqi is a curious person. His friends joke that if curiosity kills people, he has died many times. Xiao Weiqi disagreed with this. He said that curiosity is the biggest driving force for mankind to move forward. Without curiosity, what is the difference between people and salted fish. His family lives near the western suburbs of city A. Recently, a sudden accident made the western suburbs, far from the urban area, become a hot spot of public attention for a while.

In Jiayue Paradise, a roller coaster suddenly derailed and several people died. Since this incident, Jiayue Paradise has been closed and blocked by the police.

At first glance, this matter seemed to be no problem, but Xiao Weiqi heard another strange rumor.

"Hey, did you know? When the roller coaster accident happened, the park was already closed." Wang Ke was Xiao Weiqi's good friend. He was seventeen or eighteen years old, when he was most energetic.

"Closed? What do you mean?" Xiao Weiqi came to his senses. He especially liked some horror urban legends. He blinked his eyes and asked curiously, "You mean that the roller coaster accident was not man-made?"

"Of course, don't think about it. When the park is closed, all these devices will be powered off." Wang Ke said mysteriously, "How can anyone still play on it at this time? And it's still like that. Coincidentally derailed, I have an uncle who is an insider and said that the autopsy found that those people were not killed by falling."

"How did it die?" Xiao Weiqi was even more curious.

"I don't know about that, but it is said that their bodies were already decomposed when they fell off the roller coaster..." Wang Ke said.

"You mean, they were already dead when they got to the roller coaster?" Xiao Weiqi thought it was a bit exaggerated and didn't quite believe it, "Really?"

"Of course it's true." Wang Ke swore, "What I said could be false."

Although Xiao Weiqi was curious about these things, he also knew that Wang Ke liked to talk big, so he didn't take his words to heart. He rolled his eyes, but had other thoughts, he said, "Wang Ke, what do you think your uncle is? Insider, can he get the key to the paradise?"

"How can this work?" Wang Ke shyly said, "This paradise has just happened, no one must be able to enter, hey, what is Xiao Weiqi asking for this?"

"I'm not busy, I want to go take a look." Xiao Weiqi said, "Aren't you curious, what's going on inside?" He lowered his voice and deliberately made a ghostly look, "Maybe , the people on the roller coaster, the dead people, were put on it by an invisible force, and then pushed down—"

"Don't talk, don't talk." Wang Ke shuddered and scolded, "You fucking know how to scare me, if you really want to go, you still dare not!"

"If you can get the keys to the amusement park, of course I dare to go." Xiao Weiqi smiled, "It's the dog who dare not go."

Wang Ke glared at Xiao Weiqi and turned away.

Xiao Weiqi didn't take this to heart. He had just finished the college entrance examination and was waiting for his grades. He was in a panic every day, and it would be great if he could find something to do.

However, he knew Wang Ke's character that he was first-rate in talking big, and it was impossible to get the keys to the amusement park.

What Xiao Weiqi didn't expect was that after two days, Wang Ke suddenly found him mysteriously.

"Xiao Weiqi, what did you say before? You said that if I got the key to the amusement park, you would dare to go in, right?" Wang Ke said.

"Yeah, that's what I said, did you really get it?" Xiao Weiqi asked in surprise.

"Look, what is this?" Wang Ke took out an ordinary-looking key from his pocket with a smile.

"Are you serious?" Xiao Weiqi still couldn't believe it, his eyes filled with suspicion, "This is really the key to Jiayue? Don't lie to me for bragging."

"Of course, why would I use this to deceive you." Wang Ke said, "Why don't you do this? In a few days, it will be your birthday. On the night of your birthday, let's take an adventure and go to Jiayue to have a look. ." He gestured, "Listen to my uncle, the roller coaster has been cleaned up, and the police have also withdrawn... Just in time to take a look, there seems to be a lot of blood on the ground."

Xiao Weiqi became interested as soon as he heard it, and agreed with his friend's suggestion: "Okay, just do it!"

The eighteenth birthday is a pleasant day. After this day, Xiao Weiqi is a serious adult. He blew the candles and ate the cake. As agreed a few days ago, Xiao Weiqi and Wang Ke called a few. The classmates who played well went in the direction of Jiayue Paradise. There were seven people in the team, four men and three women. The whole way was lively and lively, and everyone was chatting and fighting.

At this time, it was eight o'clock, and it was completely dark. Wang Ke led a few people to a small door near Jiayue Paradise, took out the key, and wanted to unscrew the lock on it. But when he put the key in, he found that he couldn't turn it, and he muttered a few words in his heart, thinking that his uncle might be making fun of him and fooling him with a fake key. If that was the case, he would be ashamed. Just thinking about it, the big lock in front of me made a crisp sound and just opened.

Wang Ke was overjoyed when he saw this, and beckoned everyone to go inside.

"I often play in this park, and I still have an annual card." Xiao Weiqi said, "In the year that this park was just built, I came to play several times a week almost every week—this is the way to go to the coaster. "

A girl named Shen Qingyi beside Wang Ke whispered: "It's scary to come in so late, did that roller coaster have an accident some time ago?"

"Yeah, that's the only way to come and play." Wang Ke was actually not very timid, but he couldn't show his timidity in front of the girl, so he deliberately said carelessly, "You just got here, so you won't be afraid, right? Then I took my key from my uncle for nothing."

Several boys were of the most face-saving age, and they all agreed to reconcile. The girls looked sad, but no one raised any objection.

Jiayue Paradise is very large, and it includes many exciting projects. The roller coaster and the jumping machine are in one direction, and several people are walking there.

"Has the wreckage of the roller coaster been cleaned up?" someone asked, "What about the corpse on it?"

"It's taken." A voice answered, "It's just that the confiscated one was too clean, and it was too broken. I heard that there was a man whose half head was not found."

"How come I didn't find it." Xiao Weiqi replied casually, "The place where the roller coaster fell is so big, just look for it and you should find it."

"That's not it." The voice continued, "It's just that the man's luck is not very good. His half-shattered head just flew out and got stuck on the fence, and was covered by the grass. How can people find it?"

Xiao Weiqi felt a little amused when he heard this, and said, "How do you know so clearly?" He looked at his friend beside him.

The friend looked inexplicable: "Why are you looking at me?"

Xiao Weiqi said, "Aren't you talking?"

"It's not me." The friend's eyes widened, "The voice came from behind, how could I, how could I know this."

Xiao Weiqi suddenly stopped his voice. He thought the voice was a bit unfamiliar at the time, but he didn't think much about it. Now he finally noticed the difference, and the atmosphere suddenly calmed down. Xiao Weiqi felt a little cold on his back. He licked his lips, He said dryly: "Who answered my words just now, I'm joking at this time, it's not authentic."

No one answered, and the silence spread among the crowd like a plague.

"Hahaha, just kidding, I said it." At this moment, Wang Ke laughed, "Xiao Weiqi, it seems that you are not very brave, you must have been deceived by me."

Xiao Weiqi said angrily, and slapped Wang Ke fiercely on the back: "Wang Ke, you can do it! You know it's scary!"

Everyone laughed, and the weird atmosphere just now finally dissipated. Xiao Weiqi led the crowd forward, but Wang Ke squeezed beside him and lowered his voice: "Aqi, I don't think something is right, let's go back."

Xiao Weiqi was teased by him just now, and he was angry at the moment, so he said angrily: "Aren't you brave just now, you know how to make fun of me, what are you afraid of now?"

"No, it's not." Wang Ke was almost touching Xiao Weiqi's body, he said sternly, "Just now, those words just now, I didn't actually take it, I was just worried that everyone was afraid, so..." He said, shivered.

Xiao Weiqi was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at Wang Ke, and then noticed that, for some time, his face was covered in cold sweat, and his pale face was so abrupt even in this vast night.

It wasn't Wang Ke who was talking, so what was talking? Xiao Weiqi glanced behind him from the corner of his eye. The seven people walked together, but there was an inexplicable feeling of crowding. After he observed it carefully, he felt that something was wrong. Among the seven people, it seemed that there were a few shadows mixed together. These vague figures sometimes interspersed in the crowd, and sometimes fell behind the crowd, like shadows that could not be seen clearly.

Xiao Weiqi stopped at his feet, he swallowed, and said, "Let's go back."

Although the others didn't know what happened, they also vaguely felt something was wrong and agreed with Xiao Weiqi's proposal. The group started to walk back, but as they were walking, a girl suddenly screamed, Xiao Weiqi was startled by her, and said, "Meng Meng, what's your name?!"

"Look, look, what is that??" Meng Meng pointed to the sky, her eyes splitting.

Xiao Weiqi looked in the direction she pointed, and saw a vague track in the night sky. The shape of the track was so familiar that it couldn't be more familiar - it was clearly a track belonging to a roller coaster. They were clearly walking back, so how could they go under the roller coaster? ?

In the early summer night, Xiao Weiqi's clothes were soaked with sweat in an instant. He wanted to calm down, but the panicked screams of his companions were already heard around him. Wang Ke reacted the fastest. He took out his mobile phone and said, "Don't worry, I'll call my uncle. He's the person in charge here. I'll ask him to pick us up!!" He quickly dialed the number, fortunately, the phone It was quickly connected.

"Uncle, uncle, come pick us up at Jiayue Amusement Park!!" Wang Ke's voice was shrill and scary, almost screaming.

"Jiayue Amusement Park?" The person on the other end of the phone was a little puzzled, "Stinky boy, how did you get into Jiayue Amusement Park??"

"Isn't that the key you gave me??" Wang Ke exclaimed, "You said it was the key to Jiayue Amusement Park??"

long silence.

After what seemed like a century, the voice on the other end of the phone became incomparably harsh, and the man said, "Wang Ke, I gave you the key to my garage door, just to perfunctory you... How the hell did you get in? ?"

Wang Ke's face was ashen.

In an instant, everyone fell into a dead silence.

"Uncle, uncle, don't worry about it so much. Come and pick us up. There's something wrong with this amusement park. We got lost in it." After the desperate silence, Wang Ke also realized that he would be entangled in those things at this time. It was meaningless, he immediately grasped the point, and said to the person on the other end of the phone in an almost begging tone: "We are obviously going back, but why can't we get out..."

The uncle on the other end of the phone said, "Where are you now?" His voice began to distort, mixed with a lot of inaudible current sounds, and finally became distorted and sharp, losing its original sound quality, and hung up the phone. Before breaking up, Wang Ke only heard the sentence, "I'll come to you right away."

"Great, great, my uncle will come to us soon." Wang Ke wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, finally heaving a sigh of relief, he said, "Let's just wait for my uncle to come and pick us up. , this place doesn't look right everywhere, it's scary."

He smiled reluctantly, trying to encourage his friends around him, but found that their faces were even more ugly than before.

"What's wrong?" Wang Ke said blankly, "Why do you guys look like this?"

"Wang Ke, can you really get through?" Although Meng Meng tried her best to control her expression, the trembling of her voice betrayed her fear at this time, and she cried, "Why are all our mobile phones There is no signal."

Wang Ke was stunned for a moment, looked down at his mobile phone screen, and saw that his mobile phone had no signal, his face was ashen, he dug out the communication records just now, and found that the call to his uncle was not connected at all— So what was he talking to just now? And was the last sentence of that thing "I'll come to you right away"?

Wang Ke had goosebumps all over, and his face was extremely ugly.

The author has something to say:

After rigorous research, Lin Banxia finally found out that the house number paid the most, because it provided a cheap house price, created a separate space for him and Song Qingluo, and even bought snacks from the small cave.

Lin Banxia: Thank you, Mr. Model Worker.

Song Qingluo: Thank you.

1303 house number: ? ? ?
