Chapter 40 The Uninvited Guest

The weather outside in the afternoon was not bad, the sun was shining in June, and the temperature was very comfortable. Being close to such a beautiful lake, as a resort, it was at the top level.

Chi Heng got into the car and drove to Dock Town. The steel drills were not enough, so he was going to buy another truckload of steel drills and add some other supplies by the way.

The journey to Dock Town went smoothly without any problems, but what Chi Heng didn't expect was that on the way back, he found a car in front of him. It was fine when he was on the main road, until the car He was quite surprised when he drove into the small road. This small road can only lead to Lake Shea, and it is the only dirt road that goes out and enters Lake Shea. Why is this car driving in?
He has been here for more than half a month, and he has also proved that Lake Shea is a taboo in Dock Town. All the adults in Dock Town know the legend of being haunted here, and it is true that many children have drowned in history. Americans They are not so hard-headed. They insist that haunting is false. On the contrary, Americans are very superstitious. Once they believe it, it is difficult for ten cows to turn it back.

So everyone who knew that Chi Heng lived in Lake Shea was quite surprised, and even looked at him strangely.

Therefore, when he suddenly saw a car driving towards Lake Shea, Chi Heng was more surprised than those who knew that he lived in Lake Shea.

"The people in this car...what are they doing here?"

Chi Heng was puzzled, and did not deliberately distance himself, but followed.

But the answer to his doubts is actually very simple.

Inside the car, a group of high school students skipped class and were cheering and laughing inside the car, sitting in the passenger seat. The young man at the head was Wilbur Martinez!
His valet Sean Larkin was driving, his girlfriend Sarah Lopez was sitting in the back seat, and two other valets Mick Henry and Frederick Church, but the most surprising thing was , and someone who shouldn't be here—David Moore.

Poor kid, huddled in the third row, guarded by Mick Henry.

It had nothing to do with David, but they found David Moore while they were skipping class. Wilbo immediately said that he could serve as a coolie with him.

So poor David was forcibly taken away and stuffed into a car.

"Wilbur," Sarah couldn't help shouting, "we shouldn't be going to Lake Shea."

Wilbur in the co-pilot seat was singing ghostly and howling, but when he was interrupted, he turned his head in displeasure: "Sarah, didn't we agree? Why continue to argue about this issue?"

"It's not about arguing!"

Sarah frowned tightly: "We grew up listening to the legend of Lake Shea, who hasn't heard of it? Why do you want to take risks here?"

"Adventure? You are exaggerating!"

Wilbur showed an exaggerated expression: "Sarah, do you think that adults can believe what they say? When did you become such a good girl? This is not the Sarah Lopez I know, the Sarah Lopez I know Lopez is a brave girl who dares to resist the majesty of her parents, a magical girl who will not succumb to the terrible tame parents, no matter what she does, she will not be a coward!"

Xiao En and other followers were slightly worried, but they were also dispelled by Wilbo's words. They laughed loudly, not daring to laugh at Sarah, so they said in one go: "There are too many such legends. If such legends If it is true, then the most widely circulated witch legend should be even more true, the witch should have come to take revenge on all of us..."

Sarah pursed her lips and said nothing, knowing what Wilbo had decided, no matter how she said it, it would have no effect.

David curled up behind him, trembling. He was more worried about being beaten next time than about Lake Shea.

Suddenly, Sean who was driving said, "There is a car following behind."

"Well?"

Everyone was taken aback, and when they looked back, they saw an old pickup truck following behind.

"That car..."

Wilbur looked familiar, but couldn't remember it.

"Why are there other cars here?"

Sean wondered, "Didn't it mean that no one dares to come here?"

Everyone was puzzled, but it was Sarah who said, "I know who it is... that foreign Chinese."

Except Sean, everyone looked at Sarah.

Sarah explained: "When I was working part-time in a supermarket, I met this Chinese...a very strange person who bought a lot of things. He said he came to inherit his uncle's inheritance, an old house by Lake Shea. , As you know, there is a family next to the legendary haunted Lake Shea, the previous owner of that family committed suicide, and more than [-] years ago, a strange person came from outside and lived in it."

"I'm also a little impressed!"

Mick, one of the attendants, exclaimed, "I remember the adults said in the chat that there was a weird person living in the haunted Lake Shea, and everyone regarded him as a freak."

Wilbur felt baffled: "So what? A descendant of a freak... is also a freak?"

"I don't know." Sarah shrank her neck as if feeling that the surrounding air was getting cold, "This Chinese is very weird. I mean, when I saw him, I felt weird. I don't think he is a good person. He The way he smiles is horrible, and the way he looks at me is weird."

"is it?"

When Wilbo heard what his girlfriend said, he immediately became very upset with the Chinese: "An outsider? If he dares to speak rudely to you, I will teach him a lesson."

"Ha ha……"

Everyone laughed and felt very happy, and did not take an outsider seriously.

"Wilbur, let's go back."

Sarah tried hard to win Wilbur back. "I don't want to see that weirdo."

"Enough, Sarah!"

Wilbur was a little annoyed: "If you want to go back, or if you are afraid that your parents will be notified by the school about skipping classes, then you can go back, but you can only walk back alone!"

As soon as Wilbur got angry, his three servants immediately fell silent and dared not speak.

Sarah bit her lip tightly, and didn't force herself to brake. If she walked back from here, she might not be able to return to Dock Town until evening.

The atmosphere in the car was stiff now.

There was no words all the way, and after ten minutes, Xiao En suddenly said: "We are here."

Through the front glass of the car, they saw the beautiful shadow of Lake Shea from a distance. This dirt road leads to Lake Shea, and it is also the only building on the side leading to Lake Shea—the old house.

"Is this where the weirdo lives?"

"It doesn't look like much."

Because it has been tidied up, the whole old house looks like it is inhabited, not to mention a new look.

Sean curled his lips and didn't stop the car. Through the rearview mirror, he saw the pickup truck following him stop in front of the old house.

If the dirt road continues to drive for more than a hundred meters, it will be completely dead.
