Secret 1

Chapter 9
After she scolded Sun Tzu Chu and others away, she found that the American girl in the same room was missing.Yuling searched in the room again, and found that all of Elena's things were there, but she didn't know where she went?She has also received tourists from the United States and knows that Americans like nightlife, but where can I find HAPPY here?
Elena is a typical American girl, quick to speak and act, always dressed for sports and adventure.I don't seem to think of myself as a woman during the day, and only before going to bed at night, I change into a nightgown, put down my hair, and make a mask for maintenance.She speaks Chinese really well. She has been learning since she was 14 years old. Speaking with Yu Ling is like a Chinese language test competition.None of their native languages ​​are Chinese, but they have to be among this group of Chinese people, come to this city where the Chinese used to live, and sleep on the bed of a young Chinese couple.

The two chatted until after midnight, but it was actually Irina who was the one talking, with a few words of English occasionally mixed in, which combined the gossip of China and the United States into one.After chatting, Yuling was so sleepy that she couldn't hold it anymore, and Yi Lianna was still talking on the opposite side, almost singing a jingle.

It wasn't until the loud earthquake-like noise that Irina's mouth was sealed.Yuling grew up in northern Thailand, and has never encountered such an earthquake.They quickly shrank to the bed, hugged their heads and prayed that the house would not collapse, and gradually fell asleep in fear...

How did you dream about the tour guide Xiao Fang just now?But it was the first time we met, so we encountered such unlucky things.Yes, didn't Sun Tzuchu say he was gone?Probably because of this influence, but where will Xiao Fang go?From the first time I saw him, I felt something was hidden in his eyes.The diarrhea hadn't started, and the mandrill hadn't jumped on the roof of the car.And Xiao Fang still has a sad face, even looking at her with such a strange expression - although men usually look at her a few times, but it is definitely not Xiao Fang's eyes, it seems to have a bit of suspicion and distrust.In that case, why didn't he say it on the spot?But he still pretended to trust her completely, and continued with the tour group's itinerary, and soon the secret of "golden meat" was revealed, followed by "the attack of the mandrill".

Xiao Fang?

What happened to him?What does the dream represent?Is it something that really happened, or some kind of strange omen?Yu Ling didn't want to think about it anymore.

She slowly put on the tube skirt and touched her skin that could be broken by blows. This 20-year-old body has never been dedicated to anyone else.

Outside the window, another piece of white mist floated by, lingering among the green leaves, and the line of sight seemed to be covered with a veil.

The eyes seemed to be stung slightly again. This white mist is so familiar yet so strange, just like the morning when she was 16 years old - the girl Yuling woke up from her nightmare and walked out of the silent village with her bare feet. Through the green rice fields, into the black forest.Legend has it that it is ruled by demons and dead souls, as well as tigers, bison, black bears and other beasts. The cemetery in the village is deep in the forest.

Yes, just like the white mist in front of me, the 16-year-old Yu Ling threw herself into the forbidden forest and was enveloped by the mysterious white mist.The soles of the feet were mud, fallen leaves, and the bones of small animals, covered with icy dew, soaking slickly into the skin and blood vessels.There seemed to be a voice in my ear, calling her name softly——

She walked and walked in the dew and white mist, getting farther and farther away from the village behind her, until she was completely covered by the black forest.It was like an eternal hell, it was as dark as evening at noon, the light was blocked by tall and dense tree crowns, and vines and other plants were hanging everywhere.There are often unknown animals shouting on the tree, making a huge and terrifying sound. It is said that as long as you go to this kind of place, you will lose your way forever and your soul will be taken away by demons.

But Yu Ling seemed to have forgotten everything, and only cared about breaking through the fog to find that voice.When she turned around a big banyan tree, she bumped into a person suddenly.

a monk.

A young monk.

A young and handsome monk.

Unfortunately, he is a monk.

Yu Ling looked straight into his eyes, and he looked directly into Yu Ling's eyes, and they were both surprised to see each other in this place.He probably only had, not yet fully grown into a man's body, looked emaciated, and probably hadn't eaten for several days.His hair was cleanly shaved, but his monk's robes were extremely tattered, and there was a notched pottery bowl at his feet.There are only some fluff on the lips, but there is something shining in the big eyes - passionate and depressed eyes, so cruel and helpless.

The white mist was still entangled between them, Yu Ling looked at him curiously, and asked softly, "Who are you?"

"who are you?"

"I am Yu Ling, were you calling my name just now?"

"No, it's another person, another soul calling you."

"Where are you from?"

"another world."

Another world——Yu Ling opened her eyes again, and suddenly returned to the present when she was 20 years old.That terrible morning in my memory has disappeared with the white mist of the forest.

She wiped off the cold sweat from her forehead, feeling empty in her heart, as if she was still staying in the depths of the forest.Facing the white mist outside the window on the third floor, she closed her eyes to forget that face, that young face, young and handsome face.

Unfortunately, he is a monk.

When Yuling couldn't extricate herself from her memories, there was a hasty knock on the door outside, and she jumped up as if being pricked by a needle, and rushed out to open the door.

Outside the door was the American girl Elena, with Li Shu beside her supporting her body.She turned into the American version of Sister Lin, with a pale face and lost her soul, muttering a few words in unintelligible English.

Li Shu's expression was not quite right either, he sent Elena to the Yuling room, said "take care of her", then hurriedly turned and left.

"What happened?" Yuling grabbed Yi Lianna's hand, but she gritted her teeth and refused to answer, "He bullied you?"

Yi Lianna shook her head immediately, sat down on the sofa as if collapsed, closed her eyes and did not speak again.

Yu Ling stared at her in fear, gradually resurfacing the nightmare in the eye of a needle, gradually peeling off and rotting Xiao Fang's face...

Is it really him?

At seven o'clock in the morning, all residents in the building - members of the tour group were woken up.

Some people haven't had enough sleep, and their faces are full of eyeballs, cursing.But more people can't sleep all night, and the dark circles under their eyes have turned into pandas.Ye Xiao asked everyone to prepare breakfast in the house, but don't touch the food left by others.He, his grandsons Chu and Li Shu went to a nearby small supermarket and "borrowed" a lot of fast food within the expiration date.As for drinking water, some people brought their own small pots and boiled tap water for drinking.

This special breakfast is enough to make the tour group members unforgettable all their lives - assuming their life is not very short.

Then, everyone was greeted out of the room with their luggage.Ye Xiao turned on his mobile phone and checked, but he still couldn't receive any signal. It seems that there will be no mobile phone shops and mobile services here.Then he turned off his mobile phone, discussed with everyone and made a decision—the driver drove to the gas station while it was not raining in the morning, and the tour group left here after refueling.

Everyone dragged their heavy luggage, and a dozen or so people struggled down the stairs to the laneway outside the residential building.The injured Frenchman Henry recovered quickly and was able to walk with the support of others.The morning after the rain was extremely humid. Every time I took a breath, I was afraid that the moisture would block my nostrils. It felt like Chongqing or Guiyang in southwest China.

Everyone first talked about the loud noise last night. Everyone was shocked by the sound, but no one could tell what it was, although Lin Junru from Taiwan insisted that it was an earthquake.

Then someone discovered that the tour guide Xiao Fang was missing, and more than an hour ago, Sun Zichu and others disturbed many people's dreams, so some people became suspicious.

But Tu Nan was such a big-mouthed guy that he actually told about the tragic incident on the rooftop—Ye Xiao was so angry that he almost slapped him in the face. He also told him that this matter should be kept absolutely secret in the morning, so that everyone could not fall into panic.He even made up a reason: Xiao Fang had gone out to find rescue last night, and was leading the rescuers here.

But it was too late, the news of Xiao Fang's death spread throughout the tour group.

The women whispered in fear, even Huang Wanran's husband rubbed his hands together and said, "Oops! Is what the French said true? Everyone was cursed by that old woman?"

Lin Junru also asked nervously: "Even the tour guide is dead, so what should we do?"

Yang Mou's little wife was lying in the arms of the groom in fear—they were probably newcomers who came to Thailand for their honeymoon. She said nervously, "The first one is already dead—will there be a second one?"

However, Yu Ling's expression did not change.

Although Yi Lianna kept her mouth shut, Yu Ling vaguely guessed that the nightmare had come true.It's just that the terrible news came too fast, and it was confirmed too fast. Even she herself couldn't explain it clearly. How did she guess it?

Under the jade spirit's surface like water, there is a beating heart. She tried her best to calm herself down: "I want to go to the rooftop to have a look!"

After she finished speaking, she was about to rush into the corridor, but Ye Xiao grabbed her and said calmly in her ear: "Please believe me, Xiao Fang is dead, I don't want anyone to see him again."

"Really? Did he die a terrible death?"

Ye Xiao nodded silently, looking at Yu Ling calmly.

The two confronted each other for a minute, and finally Yu Ling conceded, and slowly retreated back to the group.

Another suffocating silence. The greatest fear of death is that it can infect everyone like a plague. No one knows who will be next?
Suddenly, Elena sobbed softly.Li Shu put his arms around her shoulders and comforted her softly in English.

Yu Ling quickly regained her composure: "Everyone, don't panic. Although Xiao Fang had an accident, I will take his responsibility and take everyone out safely as a tour guide!"

But who would believe a 20-year-old Thai girl these days?
Ye Xiao asked Yu Ling to stay here first to keep everyone stable.

He and the driver went to drive to refuel, and Sun Zichu and Qian Mozheng also followed them.

The four walked out of the alley and paid attention to the ownerless Toyota.On the deserted streets in the early morning, there was a special white mist, and a lot of rainwater from last night accumulated on the ground.

Qian Mozheng and the driver walked ahead quickly, but Ye Xiao and Sun Zichu were much behind.Sun Tzuchu said anxiously, "Let's catch up quickly."

"Wait a minute, I want to ask you alone."

Ye Xiao continued to slow down, and after making sure that the two people in front could not hear their conversation, he asked Sun Zichu softly: "You and the tour guide Xiao Fang are in the same room, and you were the first to notice that he disappeared."

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

"What's wrong with Xiao Fang at night?"

Sun Tzuchu thought for a while and said, "Nothing? We just chatted casually. After that loud noise like an earthquake, we each went to sleep."

"What did he say?"

"It's nothing special. When we come to this kind of place and encounter this kind of thing again, everyone is not in a good mood. Even I don't talk a lot."

Is this considered "a lot less talk"?Ye Xiao smiled bitterly: "Forget it! You don't know when he left the house?"

"Didn't I tell you that? At five o'clock in the morning, I got up to go to the bathroom, only to find that Xiao Fang had disappeared."

Ye Xiao watched the driver and Qian Mozheng go farther and farther away, then turned his head to stare into Sun Zichu's eyes: "I ask you, have you never left your room all night?"

"Of course! Why are you asking this? You think I'm Ning Caichen, running out to have a tryst with Nie Xiaoqian in the middle of the night?"

Ye Xiao stopped talking, and looked forward with a downcast face: "Hurry up and follow!"

After all, the two of them ran forward quickly, and quickly caught up with Qian Mozheng and the driver.

"What are you two whispering about?" Qian Mozheng turned around and said teasingly, "It's not normal for two men to always stick together!"

"Bullshit!"

Sun Tzuchu immediately said something. At this time, they had already turned the intersection, and the four of them walked out along the road into the city.

Under the huge billboard of Andy Lau is the bus of the tour group - their Noah's Ark.

The driver checked the car carefully. The heavy rain washed away a lot of dirt overnight, and there were no traces of other people moving it.Then the four of them got on the bus, the driver sat in the driver's seat and started the car, the engine roared and he stepped on the accelerator.

The car drove away from the billboard slowly, and drove to the gas station under Ye Xiao's instructions.

The car passed Jincheng Avenue, drove straight through the intersection, and soon came to the gas station.

The scale here is not small, and the facilities are quite modern. It is similar to gas stations in Shanghai and other places. Even the text is in traditional Chinese. It should be the place where all vehicles entering and leaving the city must pass.

All four of them got out of the car and took a closer look at the empty gas station.Qian Mozheng yelled a few times but did not respond. Ye Xiao walked into the office of the gas station and found that there was still a lot of money in the cash register, most of which were Thai baht, and there were also US dollars and RMB.The driver has been fiddling with the refueling machine. He is sure that there is gasoline here, and he is looking at how to turn the switch on.

At this time, Ye Xiao saw two people standing opposite the gas station, and he rushed out quickly—they turned out to be people from the tour group, and Yang Mou was filming them with a DV, leaning against his bride beside him.

Ye Xiao walked up to them and asked seriously: "Why did you come out by yourself? Didn't you say you'd wait for the car to come?"

"I am a documentary director of a TV station. Shooting DV is my job and my greatest hobby." Yang Mou smiled awkwardly and said, "I must use a camera to record the mysterious events that happened during this trip. Best documentary of the year!"

Ye Xiao shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I don't want to be your actor."

Suddenly, the face of the bride beside Yang Mou changed drastically, and she screamed in terror.

"What's wrong with you? Sweetie!"

Yang Mou put down the DV and grabbed the bride's shoulder nervously.

"Look! There's a man there!"

The bride Xiaotian raised her trembling hand and pointed to a small alley on the right.

Both Ye Xiao and Yang Mou turned their heads and looked to the right. There was only a lush kapok tree at the entrance of the alley, and there was no one.Her scream also attracted the people on the opposite side, Sun Zichu and Qian Mozheng both ran over from the gas station.

Qian Mozheng came over and asked loudly, "Did you really see someone?"

"Yes, I did see it, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye."

"Is it someone from our tour group?"

The little charming wife replied firmly: "No! It's a young woman, I've never seen it before!"

Ye Xiao quickly rushed into the alley, followed by Sun Zichu and Qian Mozheng.This alley is very deep, with dilapidated old buildings on both sides and a mess of sundries. The ground is full of potholes and a lot of water.

That shadow, at the end of the labyrinth of the alley, he seemed to see that shadow!
However, at the same second, they heard a strange sound behind them...

Shocking!

Deafening!
The gas station exploded!

In the instant of two and a quarter of a second, a huge shock wave swept past like a gust of wind.Ye Xiao only felt a big hand behind him, forcing him down to the ground.The surrounding Sun Tzu Chu, Qian Mozheng, Yang Mou and his new wife were all knocked down heavily by the shock wave.

The explosion lasted 20 seconds.

Time stagnates, the world silences, and everything reincarnates.

The flames soaring into the sky and the strong smell of gasoline made everyone feel hot.When they opened their eyes again, they were surrounded by dust and debris—broken plastic signs, shards of glass, twisted steel bars...

Is this the legendary hell on earth?
Xiaotian's back was covered with dust. Fortunately, she was wearing a thick long-sleeved dress, otherwise she would have suffered a lot.Suddenly, something fell on her head, she grabbed it and took a look, only to find that it was a scorched severed hand!
This is the hand of our tour driver.

She screamed and threw the severed hand out, right on top of her husband's head.Yang Mou rubbed his eyes, then yelled and threw it into Sun Tzuchu's hand.Grandson Chu Xiang received a grenade and quickly stuffed it into Qian Mozheng's arms.Qian Mozheng simply threw it into the sky.

In the end, the one who caught the severed hand was Ye Xiao.

He had stood up straight, his hair was made like a bird's nest by the shock wave, and his clothes were covered with mud and water.He looked carefully at the severed hand—only the palm and half of the wrist were left, and two fingers were missing—the little finger and the ring finger.

The poor hand was completely scorched, and it was blown off the driver's hand at about the moment of the explosion, flew high into the sky, and finally landed on their heads.

Ye Xiao looked back at the gas station again, the fire was still burning, and the surrounding air seemed to be evaporated.The luxury bus of the tour group has been blown up without a trace.All the steel frames and iron plates on the car were blown into metal fragments, and even the tire steel strips became zigzag!
The gas station was blown to the ground, leaving only a few ruined walls, which were still being burned by the fire at the oil depot.Thick black smoke rose into the sky, covering almost half of the city.

Tang Xiaotian wept bitterly and hid in Yang Mou's arms. Sun Zichu and Qian Mozheng also supported each other, their faces were covered with mud and smoke.It was considered that the lives of these five people were not hit by the metal fragments from the explosion, otherwise their heads or hands and feet would probably be severed.

And Ye Xiao was still holding onto the driver's severed hand, it seemed that the remaining three fingers were still twitching!

Sun Tzuchu gasped, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Put this thing down, our driver is dead!"

Our driver died.

He is the second.
