"Are we going to die here?" Xiaochen's lower lip kept trembling, as if she had been burned by the words she said. The little girl had a poor heart, and she cried in fright after she finished speaking, "Woooooooooo... the gate They all disappeared, do you want us to be trapped here forever? If I knew it, I would hide in the house."
"Sister." Bo Ye leaned his back against the wall, sighed on his back, and said lightly, "The person whose life is hanging by a thread hasn't cried yet, so be stronger."
"Anyway, we can't get out now." Gu Meng held her wedding dress in one hand, and walked towards the stairs in the dark, feeling the edge of the counter, and said to the others, "Don't stay downstairs, go upstairs first, at least the hall is bright." point."
Just as Gu Meng stepped up the stairs in the dark, there was a crying "Oops" from behind—
Because the little girl couldn't see the situation under her feet, she tripped over the piles of cloth placed on the side of the aisle again and fell heavily on the concrete floor.
"Xiaochen, pay attention." Mo Chunying turned around, stepped over the obstacles on the ground carefully, and went to help her.
"Why isn't there even a lamp here?" Xiaochen wiped her tears and snot, stood up while rubbing her knees that hurt from falling, and complained sobbingly, then suggested to the person in front, "Should we look for candles here first?" And matches? Once it gets dark, it must be pitch black upstairs."
Seeing that she was fine, Bo Ye turned around and continued walking forward, and said, "It's so dark downstairs, even if there are candles, you may not be able to find them, so go upstairs first and look for them."
Xiaochen thought about it, this is the truth. Supported by Mo Chunying, she was limping to keep up with the four men in front of her, when she suddenly felt a breeze blowing behind her ears, accompanied by a wisp of smoke drifting past her nose.
Beside her, Mo Chunying also seemed to have noticed this abnormality in the silence and darkness, they both stopped at the same time, their backs stiffened.
"Guest." A faint thick male voice sounded from behind, a little muffled, as if covered by something, said, "Is there anything I can help you with?"
Hearing this, Gu Meng and En Jin, Bo Ye and Tang Zhi, the four people near the stairs paused for a moment and turned their heads to look.
I saw a faint green flame floating behind the little girl, and the flame cast a dull light on the skin near her ear, swaying around.
Not long after, a masked face appeared behind Xiaochen's shoulder, reflecting the firelight. Roughly made, the smiling rabbit has a pale face and two blobs of bright red on its cheeks.
Presumably this is Boss Tu that everyone has been looking for, but the timing of his appearance is so weird that people refuse to approach him.
"Guest, is there anything I can help you with?"
The shopkeeper who appeared from nowhere asked again. This time, there was a fluffy smile in his voice.
Xiaochen felt that the voice was close to her ears, and she froze in place with chills all over her body, her eyes widened to the limit in horror, and her breathing became more and more rapid.
In the next second, a "click" sounded crisply in the silent room, and before the others had time to react, the little girl had already rolled to the ground.
Mo Chunying was dragged sideways by Xiaochen's falling momentum, she looked at the ground in astonishment, Xiaochen lay motionless on the ground, only a rough outline could be seen clearly in the darkness.
Behind the gloomy green light, a mottled blood was splashed on the pale rabbit's face. Enjin's night vision ability is strong, and she can clearly see that the shopkeeper is holding a lamp in one hand and an ax in the other.
"Guest, do you need help?" On the mask, two dark round eyes stared at the person in front of him.
"Ah-"
Mo Chunying screamed uncontrollably, stumbled forward, and felt her ankle was held by a hand in a trance, she kicked her foot to get rid of it without thinking.
All of a sudden, the decaying staircase creaked, and it seemed that one more step would break it. The noisy footsteps of "bang bang bang" and "dong dong dong" made a mess, and the sound rushed upstairs.
"Wait, wait, I said, brothers, what are you running for?" On reaching the second floor, Gu Meng held on to the guardrail to stop the car, suddenly turned his head, and said out of breath, "We four big men, he is still fat Are you afraid that you will fail?"
"Brother, stop talking." Bo Ye looked around, estimated where there was a hiding place, and gasped, "You're so scared that your tongue is tied up."
"No..." Gu Meng covered her mouth, smoothed out what she wanted to express, raised her chin at Tang Zhi, and said, "Isn't there a person who won the All Japan Kendo Championship at the age of sixteen? To Candi Isn't it a matter of minutes to turn a stick into a fat man?"
Tang Zhi thought for a while, nodded, and said, "If the shopkeeper is not a ghost and can be solved by physical attacks, I think I can give it a try."
"Don't even think about it." Bo Ye dragged Tang Zhi and strode towards the corridor on the second floor, saying, "A fat man who can kill people in front of everyone is either arrogant or inflated. He definitely won't take physical attacks. Don't try to hit it hard."
Gu Meng thought it made sense. At this moment, Mo Chunying rushed up to the second floor with disheveled hair. The little girl pointed behind her with trembling fingers and shouted in horror: "He's coming! He's coming!"
There was a slow "babbling" sound downstairs, and one could tell that the person upstairs was overweight.
Gu Meng was impatient, cursed, and was about to follow Bo Ye and Tang Zhi's direction, but was grabbed by the collar, and was dragged backwards.
A soft voice sounded above his head: "Quanzang is on the second floor, do you want to be taken over by one pot?"
Enjin continued to walk towards the third floor with the person in his arms. When turning the corner, Gu Meng gave Mo Chunying a hand who was unsteady, and said, "Follow up, don't fall behind."
Bo Ye pulled Tang Zhi to search for the hiding place along the rooms on the second floor. There should not be too few facilities in the room, and the space should not be too small to be easy to find. He closed the door every time he saw one, until he saw a slightly larger bedroom at the end of the corridor. Bo Ye took Tang Zhi in and closed the door.
The bedroom had a six poster canopy bed and looked a bit untidy with wardrobes, chests and low cabinets and a dresser all around. Tang Zhi was about to open the closet, but was held back by Bao Ye.
"Idiot, it's so obvious, believe it or not, he opened the closet as soon as he came in?" Bo Ye pushed Tang Zhi forward.
When passing the six-poster canopy bed, Bo Ye glanced at it, then leaned over Tang Zhi's ear and whispered, "If it's destined to be cold tonight, I really want to have another shot before I die."
Bo Ye was just joking, and he knew in his heart that according to Tang Zhi's character, he would probably have to reprimand him. But this time, Tang Zhi's shameful and angry scolding was not heard for a long time.
Tang Zhi turned his back to Bo Ye, and it took him a long time to respond, his clear voice was calm and unwavering: "Bo Ye, if you can get through tonight without getting hurt, you can send as many as you want."
Bo Ye was stunned for a moment, then his eyes were filled with tenderness, his heart felt a little sore, he restrained his expression, and said with a teasing smile: "The sweet paper baby has successfully stimulated my desire to survive."
There is an angle between the big bed and the wall where the window is installed. In front of the angle, there is a hanger with layers of fabric hanging on it, which is a suitable shelter. Bo Ye's hands were inconvenient, so he asked Tang Zhi to help remove the hanger. At this time, there was the sound of "creaking" trampling on the wooden boards in the corridor outside, and the sound of doors being pushed open.
Bo Ye looked towards the door and held his breath to listen for a moment.
"guest-"
"Can I help you-"
"guest?"
"guest!"
"Guest! Do you need any help!"
Boss Tu's deep, soul-like voice approached the door through the passages in all directions, each sound getting closer, each sound more resentful than the sound, and the volume became louder and louder.
Bo Ye quietly urged Tang Zhi, and when the hanger was moved away, he stepped into a dead corner with his long legs, and then pulled Tang Zhi in and hugged him.
"Pull the hanger back, please." Bo Ye instructed in an extremely soft voice.
The sound of felling wood has already been heard in the corridor, sonorous and powerful, full of violence. Boss Tu, who presumably couldn't find his prey, lost his patience and began to slash at the door with an ax frantically.
Bo Ye estimated the distance by his voice, and glanced distractedly out of the window through the gap between the curtain and the hanger. The fog was so vast that it completely blocked the vision, and it could only be seen that it was daytime, like a vacuum world.
Even if you go out from the window, you will not be able to return to the Ding family's mansion. Because this store belongs to two different spaces in foggy and sunny days...
Thinking up to this point, Bo Ye frowned, as if remembering something.
While he was still thinking about something, Tang Zhi in front of him said in a low voice, "Here we are."
At the same time as the voice fell, a sharp ax blade pierced through the wooden door of the room. Sawdust splash.
Inside the corner between the wall and the bed, Bo Ye took half a step back, tightening his arms around Tang Zhi's waist. Tang Zhi's back pressed closer and closer to the chest of the person behind him. The two took the darkness in the blind corner as shelter, breathed lightly, and tried to lower their sense of existence.
When he came in, he locked the door behind him, and the butcher outside probably had to hack the door for a while.
Taking advantage of the gap, Bo Ye turned his head slightly, and whispered into Tang Zhi's ear: "Honey, can you do me a favor?"
"En." Tang Zhi replied, the hot and humid breath caressed past his ears.
Bo Ye lifted the left and right hands tied together, and said, "Help untie the handkerchief."
Tang Zhi didn't make a sound or move.
Bo Ye continued to talk about his plan: "In case a lunatic outside finds out later, you should react quickly and step on the bed from the side to cross over. If you are tied together, you will not move—"
"Bo Ye, do you think I will agree?" Bo Ye's voice was interrupted, and Tang Zhi spoke calmly, because of some complicated and difficult emotions, his voice raised unconsciously.
Bo Ye quickly raised his hand to cover his mouth. Tang Zhi's left hand was connected by a handkerchief, hanging loosely on his right wrist.
"Ancestor..." Bo Ye sighed resignedly, "I convinced you."
A large hole with uneven layers was broken through the wooden door panel. The shopkeeper wearing a rabbit mask first squeezed his head in with his face sideways, and then moved his slightly fat body into the hole. His thick voice was tinged with excitement. Gasp: "Guests! Guests! Huh... Can I help you?"
The door was not visible from the dead corner, so Bo Ye and Tang Zhi could only listen to the sound.
With a "gudong", it should be that the fat shopkeeper squeezed through the hole and staggered. Then, the footsteps were lightened, and the fat shopkeeper happily probed like a game: "Guest...guest?"
The room was quiet for about five seconds, and suddenly, the wardrobe door was pulled open.
"guest!"
The shopkeeper suddenly yelled, like "Surprise" when the lights were turned on at a birthday party.
The ear-shattering voice made Tang Zhi tremble slightly in fright.
Bo Ye still tightly covered his mouth from behind, and his other hand pulled him more and more into his arms. Rubbing his lips against Tang Zhi's hair, he gave silent comfort.
The fat shopkeeper randomly pulled out the clothes from the closet and threw them all over the floor. When he didn't find anyone in the closet, he sighed in undisguised disappointment.
After that, the sound of cautiously probing footsteps sounded again, "Guest?"
Clothes were piled up on the hangers in front of him, and through the thread-like gap, the fat figure of shopkeeper butcher, holding an ax in both hands, hunched over his waist, and padded his feet, came into view.
Tang Zhi slightly opened his clear almond eyes, if it wasn't for Bao Ye covering him with his big hand, the sudden sound of breathing might have attracted Shopkeeper Tu.
It's a game of cat and mouse. The shopkeeper Tu, who seemed gentle and kind at first, turned into a butcher holding an axe to chop people. There were long bloodstains on the rabbit mask, which set off the pale mask with two spots of plateau red very strangely. I couldn't see clearly downstairs just now, but now there is some grayish light upstairs, and I saw bloodstains on the handle and blade of the axe, presumably not only Xiaochen's blood was stained on it.
Looking at this scene, Tang Zhi felt a little horrified and worried about being discovered, so he couldn't help but grab Bo Ye's wrist with his hanging left hand. At this moment, the rabbit mask instantly turned 90 degrees on the thick shoulder of the shopkeeper, facing the corner between the bed and the wall as if it had been sensed.
In the next second, he held the ax and tiptoed towards the hanger, "Guest? Guest?"
It keeps calling out like teasing its prey, and the blood-splattered rabbit mask is creepy and frightening.
Getting closer and closer, the distance between the two people hiding in the dark and the terrifying shopkeeper has shortened to less than one meter, but the shopkeeper has no intention of deflecting the direction, and firmly steps towards their direction, his deep voice is lowered. Said: "Guest...do you need any help?"
The eyes on the rabbit mask are just two dark groups, making it impossible to guess where the other party is looking, but Tang Zhi just feels that the shopkeeper is looking at him through the gap.
Tang Zhi pressed against the warm chest behind him, and his heart beat faster. Although he was afraid, but thinking of protecting the people behind him, he had to be strong, and quickly simulated in his mind the first reaction he would have to do after the hanger in front of him was overturned.
Just at this moment, Bo Ye's slender hands moved up.
Tang Zhi's eyes fell into darkness, and the terrifying rabbit face that kept approaching also disappeared.
"Guest... ha..."
As if a certain connection was cut off in an instant, Boss Tu walked to the clothes hanger with the ax in his hand, turned around naturally, and moved towards other directions in the room.
Obviously, they didn't find the existence of the two people behind the hanger.
Suddenly, there was the sound of small footsteps on the ceiling. Boss Tu stopped suddenly, and raised his invisible neck upwards.
He smiled excitedly, turned around and walked towards the door, "Guest..."
Hearing the sound of footsteps gradually receding in the corridor outside, Bo Ye heaved a sigh of relief, and at the same time wished Enjin and Gu Meng upstairs good luck—
Don't die before him.
At this time, Bo Ye felt a little damp on his palm, and couldn't help being startled. He felt that the person in front of him was trembling slightly, and his tight breathing was deliberately suppressing certain emotions.
Even if he couldn't see Tang Zhi's expression at the moment, Bo Ye could still imagine him biting his lower lip to hold back his tears.
Yet it is true.
The palm was wet in a short while, and there was a small fan-like touch sweeping it from time to time.
Bo Ye's heart ached to death. He didn't let go of his hand covering Tang Zhi's eyes, and coaxed softly: "Baby, it's okay, listen to me. The downstairs door will appear again, but wait until the fog starts. There is only one hour of fog at noon, We missed it, so we are stuck here, but there is still a chance, it will be foggy every night from ten o'clock in the evening to one o'clock in the morning, and we can go back after a while."
As he spoke, Bo Ye glanced at the quartz clock on the opposite cabinet, and it showed that it was half past three in the afternoon. He added: "Wait another six hours, we will leave, so nothing will happen."
"Hey, don't be sad."
"My husband loves you."
As for whether it will be as he said, Bo Ye is not sure in his heart. Maybe, the door of the shop was only open at noon of the day, which was the only chance to communicate with the outside world, so there was no way for them to escape here at midnight. Maybe, they will be discovered by Boss Tu in less than six hours, and by then...
Bo Ye licked his lips, suppressed his complicated emotions, and said to Tang Zhi, "Baby, trust me."
Tang Zhi sniffed carefully and nodded.
"Hey..." Bo Ye kissed his tender ears like a reward, and said with a chuckle, "Seven times. Make a reservation first, and don't play tricks after you go out."
Tang Zhi shook his head.
Bo Ye thought he thought it was too many times, meaning he didn't want to, and then Tang Zhi choked, and accidentally let out a small milky voice: "Bo Ye, I want seventy times." At the end, he added, "Every time Can not be less."
"..." Bo Ye was silent.
The little tiger is occasionally ferocious.
However, seventy times...
Kidney could not agree.
There were three rooms on the third floor. Boss Tu looked menacing when he stepped upstairs with an axe. He confidently pushed open the innermost room and stood at the door. I saw the rabbit mask turning from left to right, as if looking around the entire room.
The room has been turned into a mess, red cloth is scattered all over the floor, and the doll sitting in the middle is wearing a red wedding dress and a red hijab.
The mask covered the sound of breathing, which sounded slowly in the silent room. Boss Tu first walked towards the wooden box against the wall. Some have been opened, and some are still closed, piled up in disorder by the wall. He peered into an open wooden box, roughly pulled out the rest of the clothes and threw them on the floor. There was nothing hidden in the bottom of the box.
Boss Tu turned to the closed wooden box next to him, and was about to reach out to open it. He paused for two seconds. Then, he suddenly raised the blood-stained ax and slashed down hard.
The ax blade was deeply embedded in the wooden cover, splitting a broken crack, Boss Tu pulled it out with all his strength, tilted his neck to the side, and looked for an angle to look into the cracked lines.
It's so dark that you can't see anything.
But even if someone is hiding, the ax should be able to force him out.
Boss Tu continued to look for the next box. When the ax was hanging by his side, a few drops of fresh red blood fell from the edge, but it was quickly absorbed by the red wedding dress all over the floor and disappeared. This detail was thus ignored.
After rummaging through boxes and cabinets in the room for a long time, but found no one, Boss Tu let out a heavy gasp, sounding very discouraged. He walked out of the room with the ax in hand, and when he passed the red wedding dress in the middle, he stopped without warning.
Let's talk about Boss Tu's side. Gu Meng was covered in cold sweat, almost paralyzed with fright. He lowered his eyelids and glanced to the side, and through the edge of the red satin that covered most of his vision, he could see Boss Tu's black cloth shoes and the ax in his hand. There is only a few centimeters between them.
What is life and death
Gu Meng is so sad.
Just when he was considering whether to continue to pretend to be a doll or to lift the red hijab, the shopkeeper with the rabbit face suddenly sneezed while standing next to him.
"..."
Gu Meng instantly calmed down.
Then he watched the shoes disappear into the edge of the satin.
When the "babbling" sound of stepping on the wooden boards went away, Gu Meng suddenly let go of the support of her back, slumped her shoulders, and sat on the chair with a long sigh of relief.
There was the sound of the wooden cover being lifted behind him, and one person landed lightly and walked towards him until he stood in front of him.
Gu Meng raised her eyelids and looked through the silk covering her head, and saw the hem of the snow-blue cheongsam and a pair of elegant embroidered shoes. Except that the size of the embroidered shoes is too big, there is nothing wrong with it.
Knowing that the person in front of her was En Jin, after recovering from the shock just now, Gu Meng raised her hand to pull off the silk, but unexpectedly her hands were held down half way up.
"???"
Just as she was about to ask a question, Gu Meng saw a pair of slender hands holding the edge of the red hijab and slowly lifting it up.
The red silk satin was lifted, and Gu Meng's eyes were a little prickly as soon as he came into contact with the light in the room. He squinted uncomfortably, then raised his head, and saw Enjin standing in front of him with the edge of the hijab, looking down at him. Enjin's eyes didn't blink for a moment, very focused, and seemed to be admiring something.
"What's the matter?" Gu Meng asked, feeling confused by Enjin's strange behavior.
When Enjin lifted her hijab, she had anticipation, but now that she has lifted it completely, seeing the people underneath, her heart is indeed the same, and she is satisfied in her heart.
Due to Gu Meng's sweating, her forehead hair was slightly moist, her skin was rare white, close to the texture of jade, the outline of her face was scattered by the backlight, and the border became transparent. When she looked up at herself, she still had such gentle and clear eyebrows, which were so bright against the backdrop of the red wedding dress.
It was great to meet you.
Enjin didn't speak for a long time, Gu Meng was uncomfortable being watched, and the roots of her ears felt a little hot under such eager eyes. He squeezed his cuffs and said carefully: "Hey, cub, can I... get up?"
Enjin shook her head, only to see him bent down while maintaining the red hijab.
Seeing a handsome face enlarged in front of her eyes, Gu Meng unconsciously held her breath for a second. For a handsome guy like En Jin, when he suddenly approaches, he will have a ton of visual impact.
"Cub... cub?" Gu Meng was completely embarrassed, and after realizing that the atmosphere had changed from horror to ambiguity, no matter how you looked at it now, Enjin seemed to be performing some kind of traditional wedding ceremony.
Enjin smiled slightly, lowered her head without warning, pecked and kissed Gu Meng's plump lower lip, and said in a soft voice, "Bow to heaven and earth."
Gu Meng stared at him blankly, her mind was not working well, but her body reacted faster, her face turned red immediately.
Enjin kissed again, "Second salute."
"Boji" for the third time, Enjin stared into Gu Meng's eyes and said, "When you are ready, you can enter the bridal chamber."
Gu Meng's head was hot, and a layer of warm blood appeared on her white face. She opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say, "Cub..."
The twenty-eight-year-old deer in my heart had already suffered a concussion.
