Twin Jades of Jiangdong

Chapter 40: Extra episode two

Views:

The snow-capped mountains are stretching, the mountains and the land are silvery white, the roadsides are carved with jade, and the frozen telephone poles pass by the car window.

The sun was shining, so bright that people couldn't open their eyes. Zhou Yu was wearing sunglasses, leaning against the window to watch the scenery, while Sun Ce was unpacking a pack of snacks. Zhao Yun listened to music and drove in the front seat, while Lu Bu played PSP beside him. Sun Ce accidentally disassembled the snacks into a "celestial girl scattered flowers" and sprinkled Lu Bu on one end.

"Hey!" Lu Bu said angrily.

"Hush." Sun Ce quickly pointed to Zhou Yu and said, "I'm sleeping, don't wake me up."

Zhou Yu took off his sunglasses and looked at Sun Ce.

"Oh, I didn't sleep hahaha!" Sun Ce said.

Lu Bu roared angrily, "Sleep on your head!"

Lu Bu came sideways from the front row and scuffled with Sun Ce.

Zhao Yun said loudly: "Driving! Don't fight!"

Lu Bu and Sun Ce fought for a while, Zhao Yun came over to separate them, Lu Bu didn't raise his head, and said angrily, "Zhou Yu, you're getting sidetracked!"

Zhou Yu: "..."

The winter vacation is approaching, many beach sports have come to an end, and the campus during the holiday is also empty. Mother went abroad to visit relatives, and Zhou Yu had nowhere to go during the New Year's Day holiday. Sun Ce wanted to take Zhou Yu home, but Zhou Yu was unwilling. In the end, Sun Ce and Lu Bu made up their minds, and simply took the members of their respective teams who were not going home, to the north for skiing and hot springs.

First, he took a flight for more than three hours, and after getting off he had to rent a car. After driving for eight hours, Zhou Yu almost lost his life. However, when I was a child, I was mostly in the warm south, so I still feel a sense of wonder when I see snow.

"You sleep for a while." Sun Ce said again.

Zhou Yu was a little motion sick. The road was too difficult to drive. Fortunately, Zhao Yun's driving skills were very good, so he didn't vomit.

"My hometown used to be in the north," Zhao Yun said, "it's further north than here. In winter, it's minus twenty-five degrees outside."

"It's pretty." Zhou Yu's eyes circled, already a little bit out of control.

"A northerner." Lu Bu smiled, and patted Zhao Yun on the shoulder, saying, "It's interesting to come to the south to surf."

Zhao Yun laughed it off, turned the music up a bit, and the off-road vehicle kicked up snow powder and sped along.

However, two hours later, the sky was getting darker, and a blood-red sunset outside the snow field.

Lu Bu looked depressed and said, "This is still your hometown!"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Zhao Yun and Sun Ce began to check the GPS location.

"I think we went wrong from the road just now." Sun Ce checked the map.

Zhao Yun said, "No mistake, I'm pretty sure it's here."

Standing in front of the snowfield, Zhou Yu suddenly had a strong urge to pounce into the white plain. Three seconds later, Sun Ce rushed out with a "Yo Ha" and flew towards the ground, leaving a snow-white human mark.

Zhou Yu thought to himself: crazy.

Sun Ce's snowball flew over and hit Zhou Yu on the head.

"you!"

Zhou Yu and Sun Ce began to scuffle, and in the end it was Sun Ce who begged for mercy as usual. The two hid behind the car, and Zhou Yu unceremoniously pushed him into the snow.

Sun Ce patted his side and said, "Come."

Zhou Yu simply lay down, and Zhao Yun, who was checking the route, shouted to them: "Be careful of catching a cold!"

The two lay side by side on the snowy ground, the last rays of the sun turned around the mountains and snowfields, and quietly disappeared from above Zhou Yu's head. That smear of red light dyed the snow with a brilliant brilliance, as if it was a fire that started a prairie fire by the river, or like thousands of lanterns that flickered in and out of the city.

"Hello." Sun Ce patted Zhou Yu's hand and asked, "What did you say last time that people have past lives?"

"It's nothing." Zhou Yu said casually, "It's just that I often dream, intermittently, like a TV series. This episode is aired, and there will be another episode."

"Ah?" Sun Ce asked inexplicably, "What kind of TV series?"

"Idiot dramas in ancient costumes." Zhou Yu replied casually, "The kind that are often complained about."

Sun Ce became curious as soon as he heard it, and pestered Zhou Yu to let him repeat it. Fortunately, Lu Bu shouted in front of the car: "Let's go! Get in the car!"

There are four men in one car. This time, Sun Ce will be driving the car, and the gas has already been filled up. However, it gets dark early in the north in winter. After driving a few kilometers, it was completely dark. Zhou Yu had to sit in the co-pilot and turn on the GPS with his mobile phone to guide Sun Ce.

"Will you know it?" Lu Bu asked.

"That's right." Zhou Yu smiled and taught Sun Ce a lesson, "Can it be better?"

"Hey!" Sun Ce was annoyed to death by the noise, and said, "Shut up! Trust my master's skills!"

Zhao Yun said: "Sun Ce has a good sense of direction, so I believe him."

"We'll be there in half an hour." Sun Ce threw a blanket to Lu Bu in the back seat, and said, "Go to sleep for a while!"

Lu Bu was 1.9 meters tall, and was squeezed like sardines in the car, and the booth couldn't be spread out, so he had to sleep on Zhao Yun's lap. Zhou Yu started to get confused in front of him, and Sun Ce drove wildly on the road.

When Lu Bu woke up, it was already two hours later.

"What time is it?" Lu Bu said, "Hasn't it been half an hour?"

Zhao Yun: "..."

Sun Ce had black lines all over his head, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "I'll be right there."

"It's up to you!" Lu Bu roared, "Go away! I'll drive!"

Lu Bu had just gone up, and within five minutes, the wheels sank, and everyone had to get down to push the carts together. As night fell, the temperature dropped sharply, and the three of them shivered from the cold wind. Zhou Yu put the car in gear and said, "I'll help you guys out." Then he turned on the radio.

Sun Ce dragged his nose and heard the weather report on the radio:

"There will be a large-scale snowstorm passing through tonight, please prepare for the cold..."

The three people outside were frightened out of their wits. Just as the car started, Lu Bu threw himself into the snow and ate a mouthful of snow.

"Wait for me!" Lu Bu shouted.

The car stopped, Lu Bu got into the car, Zhou Yu put it in gear, stepped on the accelerator, turned a corner from the small road, and drove towards the dark mountains.

"Which way?" Sun Ce asked.

"Stop talking nonsense." Zhou Yu said casually.

The off-road vehicle was speeding on the icy road. The snow outside was getting bigger and bigger, Zhao Yun said, "How about spending the night in the car?"

"Heating and driving, the gas consumption is too fast." Zhou Yu said, "When you were pushing the cart just now, I saw a little light on the other side of the mountain, and there may be people living there."

"What if it's starlight?" Sun Ce said.

"Then hold it to keep warm overnight." Zhou Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Sun Ce said, "This proposal is good."

Everyone: "..."

Wiggling the wipers back and forth, Sun Ce wiped down the front window of the car, and sure enough, he saw a little light in the distance. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief—they were saved.

At the foot of the mountain stood a small building quietly, with a yard in front of it, and a telegraph pole outside the building, with a light on it, Zhou Yu stopped the car and said, "Let's stay here for one night first." .”

Before the words were finished, the light on the telephone pole flickered a few times and went out.

The surroundings were dark, there was no light in the small building, the wind and snow howled behind, only the headlights illuminated the fluttering snowflakes, the world was silent, and the three-story small building was like a haunted house.

The four pushed back and forth, and finally Zhao Yun knocked on the door.

"Is anyone there?" Zhao Yun said.

"Didn't eat!" Sun Ce said, "Speak up!"

"You come, you come." Zhao Yun made a gesture of invitation.

Sun Ce hurriedly hid behind Zhou Yu, but Zhao Yun knocked on the door again and said, "Is anyone there?"

He didn't hear the dog barking, so Zhao Yun said, "Nobody? No way, the lights were all on just now."

Lu Bu said, "Why don't you just forget about it and change to another one."

"This is the only house within a radius of ten miles." Zhou Yu said, "If you don't live in this house, you will have to sleep in the ditch."

Lu Bu shouted, "Is anyone there!"

The door opened suddenly, revealing an old withered face, and the four of them yelled in unison in fright. Sun Ce, who was originally hiding behind Zhou Yu, was trembling, and hurriedly protected Zhou Yu behind him.

An old man was wearing a cotton hat covering the ears, his hands were tucked into his sleeves, and his eyes were dull. He walked out a few steps, passed the petrified four people, walked to the electric pole, and stretched out his hand slowly, the raised hand was still trembling.

Everyone: "..."

The old man's raised fingers kept convulsing, and the four of them were horrified by his strange behavior. Lu Bu signaled everyone not to be afraid, but he couldn't help but backed away.

"That... old man." Zhao Yun said.

With his back to the four of them, the old man maintained that stiff posture. After a full minute, he grabbed something in the void and pulled it down, making a "click".

"Ah—" Sun Ce and Lu Bu shouted together.

The old man pulled it again, and there was another "click", and the light on the top of the pole turned on.

It was the light rope, and Zhou Yu almost collapsed from fright.

The old man turned around, gave them a blank look, and said, "What's the matter?"

"Borrowing...staying overnight." Zhao Yun said.

The old man replied, "Come in."

With the light, the environment seemed a little more normal.

Lu Bu went to park the car, and the three of them followed the old man in, and saw a signboard that had been dismantled in the courtyard, surrounded by waste bricks and tiles. Zhao Yun grabbed a flashlight, shook it left and right, and followed into the backyard on the first floor.

The old man pushed open the door, revealing a dark corridor, and said, "How many people? Please register with your ID card."

Zhou Yu's heart trembled when he saw it, and he began to regret it a little.

"Is there a heater?" Sun Ce asked.

"Fire the boiler," replied the old man, "wait."

Sun Ce got the key, went to the third floor, and went upstairs with Zhou Yu and Zhao Yun.

"301." Sun Ce asked, "What about you?"

Zhao Yun said, "We are 316."

One is at the far east and the other is at the far west, which belong to the two ends of the corridor respectively.

Zhou Yu: "..."

"Stay, stay." Sun Ce said, "Don't be silly."

The two opened the door and went in. The room was tidy, but there was only one big bed, and Zhou Yu didn't bother to change it. He was exhausted and fell on the table.

"Lu Bu!" Zhao Yun shouted in the corridor.

Sun Ce suddenly remembered, yes! Where is Lu Bu? Where did the car stop

"Lu Bu!"

"Where's Lu Bu?"

"I don't know, didn't you stop the car?"

Sun Ce and Zhao Yun looked at each other. Zhou Yu immediately went downstairs and looked out from the railing on the second floor, only to see the car parked outside the yard, and Lu Bu had disappeared.

"Lu Bu—" Zhao Yun roared.

"I am here… "

Lu Bu's voice was very low, Zhao Yun breathed a sigh of relief, and Sun Ce asked everywhere, "Where is it?"

Suddenly Lu Bu stopped talking again, at that moment Zhou Yu's hair stood on end, and his back felt a chill. In an instant, Lu Bu yelled from the stairwell, followed by the sound of something blunt hitting the skull, and Zhao Yun rushed straight down.

"Where is it?" The three gathered in the courtyard, back to back, looking around.

However, the only answer to them was the "rustling" sound of heavy snow falling to the ground.

"Hush." Zhou Yu motioned to be quiet, and there was a sound of small footsteps in the backyard, and the three of them thought of the corpse dismemberment case in the mountain village at the same time. Zhao Yun's nerves were stretched to the limit, so he picked up a shovel and rushed into the backyard.

"Zhao Yun, where are you..." Lu Bu's voice was extremely weak, followed by the sound of iron objects dragging on the ground.

The three-storey building couldn't be seen, and Zhao Yun took the lamp to shine around, and the corner of the wall was illuminated by the light, which was a gloomy white.

"Ah—" Sun Ce suddenly yelled.

"Lu Bu!"

Lu Bu rushed out from the next room, still in shock, and shouted again.

The four were in a mess, Zhou Yu shouted: "Calm down!"

"I, I, I..." Lu Bu gasped, "Are you all okay?"

"Are you not injured?" Zhou Yu said.

"I accidentally knocked over a bucket." Lu Bu said, "It's in the corridor."

Zhou Yu: "..."

Zhao Yun said, "Why is your voice so loud and so soft?"

"I don't know." Lu Bu said bitterly.

Zhou Yu tried to enter the corridor and called out, "Lu Bu."

Echo: Lu Bu Lu Bu Lu Bu…

Zhou Yu asked Sun Ce to listen outside, but he couldn't hear him.

The soundproofing effect of the corridor is too good...

Just now Lu Bu poked his head out and yelled, and they heard it, and when he yelled in the corridor again, his voice became quieter again.

False alarm. Everyone was frightened to death by Lu Bu. They took turns to teach them a lesson. Lu Bu drooped his head and dared not say a word.

At this moment, Sun Ce suddenly found a person standing at the corner of the stairs, and screamed again in fright.

"That's enough!" Zhou Yu said, "Can you stop being suspicious!"

Sun Ce pointed to the corner tremblingly, and Zhou Yu was terrified when he saw that it was the old man.

"Why so loud?" said the old man.

"No...it's okay." Zhao Yun replied with a hand on his forehead.

"Do you have food?" Sun Ce calmed down.

"Find it for you." The old man said, "Come down later."

They each entered the room and checked the time, it was nine o'clock in the evening. At the end of the corridor, Lu Bu said, "Can you stop staying here?"

"No!" Zhao Yun grabbed Lu Bu and threw him into the room.

The room started to have some heating. Sun Ce looked out from the floor-to-ceiling windows and said, "This farmhouse is well decorated."

"What is that old man doing?" Zhou Yu poked his head over and saw that the old man was burning the boiler and turned on the lights in the dining room.

Half an hour later, Lu Bu knocked on the door and said, "The phone said it's time to eat."

The four of them went to the restaurant, where the lights were warm, a table was covered with a tablecloth, four dishes and one soup, and there was rice in the rice cooker. Everyone sat down to eat as if they were pardoned. Lu Bu saw that there was still beer in the cabinet, so he opened a bottle.

"This should be a ski resort that has just been renovated." Zhao Yun said, "I just saw a warehouse behind the boiler room, and there are several sets of skis in the warehouse."

Lu Bu stretched out his chopsticks to pick up the vegetables, and said, "Could it be left by the guest who came to stay last time?"

Everyone: "..."

Lu Bu immediately said, "I won't say anything."

"This dish tastes good." Zhou Yu said, "It's better than the school cafeteria."

Sun Ce said, "Guess what kind of meat this is?"

Everyone finally broke down and shouted at Sun Ce together, "Can you shut up!"

Sun Ce had no choice but to shut up and continue eating, thinking that I was really curious about what kind of meat it was.

Halfway through the meal, the lights in the restaurant started to flicker wildly, a little wind leaked in through the crack of the door, and the lights flickered while shaking.

Everyone froze, looking up at the chandelier.

Three seconds later, the lights went out and the world was dark.

"Blackout?" Zhao Yun said.

Suddenly, there was a "click" on the dining table. Sun Ce then let out a painful muffled sound.

Zhou Yu immediately shouted: "Sun Ce!"

A strange noise came from Sun Ce's throat, and Lu Bu got up immediately, knocking over the chair.

Zhao Yun shouted: "Calm down!"

Lu Bu shone a light on Sun Ce's face, and seeing his ferocious face, he screamed wildly in fright.

Zhou Yu said, "I'm choking! I'm choking!"

Lu Bu: "..."

A minute later, Zhao Yun found a candle in the drawer and lit it. Sun Ce tried his best to drink the water and swallowed the meal, laughing.

Zhou Yu was completely speechless.

Everyone lit candles and continued to eat.

Sun Ce said: "The candlelight dinner is also good."

"Not bad!" Zhou Yu roared angrily.

The old man came and said: "The power is cut off, the high-voltage line may be broken by the heavy snow, let's make do with it."

That night, Zhou Yu had no choice but to light candles in the room, but fortunately there was still heating.

Sun Ce took a bath with candles, and there was plenty of hot water. However, after a while, Lu Bu knocked on the door and said, "The candles in our room have been lit and extinguished several times, what should we do?"

Zhou Yu: "..."

"Where's Zhao Yun?" Zhou Yu asked.

"I'm taking a bath." Lu Bu said with a look of fear and pretending to be nonchalant, "You, you, you...you go and help me."

"Don't go!" Sun Ce yelled, "Don't leave me alone in the room."

Zhou Yu ignored him, went over to look at him, and said to Lu Bu, "There is wind in the window!"

"Oh." Lu Bu moved the candle to another place and lit it.

Not long after, Sun Ce also came after taking a bath.

The room of Zhao Yun and Lu Bu is a standard room with two beds. Sun Ce said: "Everyone sleep together tonight, don't separate."

"Yes, yes." Lu Bu immediately echoed.

Zhou Yu couldn't laugh or cry, Zhao Yun said again: "You wash in my room, the water is hot."

"Let's play cards."

Sun Ce was barefoot, took up a bed, and sat with Zhou Yu. Lu Bu was lying on another bed, Zhao Yun sat by the bed, pulled up a chair and came over to play cards.

"Lose a game and tell a ghost story." Sun Ce suggested.

"Say enough for yourself!" Zhou Yu said angrily.

"Then I said... don't go, don't talk, don't talk, just joke." Sun Ce said, "Why do I feel cold..."

"The window is not closed tightly." Zhao Yun went to try it, but there was always air leakage through the cracks of the window, and there was too much snow outside.

"You don't want to fight?" Sun Ce asked Zhou Yu.

The four big boys each took a bath.

Zhou Yu leaned against the head of the bed, staring at Sun Ce's profile under the candlelight, lost in thought.

"Tell me about your dream." Sun Ce teased Zhou Yu.

"What dream?" Zhao Yun heard of it for the first time.

With an expression of "I don't know you well", Zhou Yu lazily said, "Forget it, I don't want to talk about it."

Lu Bu asked, "Didn't you sleep well recently?"

Zhou Yu looked at Lu Bu, and suddenly said, "Do you know? You were Sun Ce's master in your previous life."

"Huh?" Lu Bu asked inexplicably, "How do you say it?"

Sun Ce suddenly went crazy and said, "Impossible!"

Zhou Yu laughed and began to talk about his dream. The blizzard outside the window gradually subsided and turned into a gentle snow. Zhao Yun, Sun Ce and Lu Bu were playing cards while listening to his dreams.

The clear water and the same color of the sky on Chaohu Lake, the beacon fire and black smoke in Luoyang, the thousands of troops in Wu County... Listening and listening, the three of them stopped unconsciously.

In spring, the peach blossoms all over the mountains float to the surface of the lake, swaying with the ripples of the lake, and then turn into boats lying in front of the Red Cliff and in the middle of the river, igniting a raging fire.

On such a winter night, they seemed to be brought back to the long past by Zhou Yu.

"Later, I was in the dream." Zhou Yu said leisurely, "Waiting for something in a hall, the Taoist priest seemed to hand me two talismans, and I held them in my hands."

Speaking of which, the room was filled with light for a moment.

"Oh—" Lu Bu laughed, "There's a call."

"There's a call." Zhao Yun said with a smile.

"There's a call." Interestingly, Sun Ce pushed Zhou Yu and said, "Go ahead."

It was like a dream, and finally woke up, Zhou Yu said lightly: "No more, it's strange to say, the person who appeared in the dream is your face."

"Just kidding." Zhao Yun said, "Impossible, you have known me since you were six years old?"

Lu Bu shuffled the cards and said, "He owed you in his previous life."

Zhou Yu couldn't explain it either, just smiled. The surroundings were bright, and when the power came, the villa became much warmer.

"Go back to sleep!" Sun Ce said, then picked up Zhou Yu and went back to the room.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhou Yu was woken up by Sun Ce's shaking. The sun shone in through the window, and outside was a brand new world of ice and snow.

Light snow fell between the sky and the earth, and the ski resort no longer had the terrifying atmosphere of last night. Sun Ce said, "Look!"

Behind the villa, there is actually a resort booked by Lu Bu and Sun Ce. There is also a ski resort area in the distance, and the cable car goes up and down. Zhou Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It turned out that he had already arrived, but he just went in a different direction.

"Hey!" Lu Bu yelled at them from downstairs, "Go up in the backyard, there is a hot spring! Let's go skiing first!"

Sun Ce agreed, and went to soak in the hot spring with Zhou Yu.

The snowflakes all over the sky melted in this open-air hot spring, fell on Sun Ce's short hair, and froze.

"Hello." Sun Ce squatted in the hot spring, looked at Zhou Yu, and said, "Do you remember last night?"

"What?" Zhou Yu asked inexplicably.

"They said, I owed you in my previous life." Sun Ce said.

Zhou Yu: ""

Sun Ce said again, "I have something to tell you, I've wanted to tell you since the day you came to the dormitory."

"What?" Zhou Yu asked again.

Sun Ce said, "I also had a dream before."

Zhou Yu was startled, Sun Ce looked at Zhou Yu, laughed, and said, "When I was young, there was a child who kicked me into the water..."

Snowflakes swirled one after another, swept out from the bank of the hot spring, and sprinkled across the vast land. From the side of the pine forest, Zhou Yu's voice came: "... So what? No, I didn't mean that! Hey! Monkey! Stop it!"
