Chapter 1010 Qingshan Lake

This was a huge fortune that fell from the sky. Tu Lanxun was stunned for a moment when she picked up the wallet, and the cold touch brought her back to her senses.

It's not like she hasn't been approached by loan sharks before. They give her money on the surface, but they actually want more. Why would N give her so much money for nothing? What does he want?

The worry only lasted for two seconds. Tu Lanxun swallowed her saliva. Anyway, N had her life in his hands and didn't kill her. Did she still have the right to make her own choice?

Then... just keep it for now and wait until you get rid of N.

Tu Lanxun went upstairs, but was knocked back by the scene on the second floor.

It's different here. The second floor was dusty last night, the sofa bed was covered with a thin layer of dust, and the floor should have had her shoe prints from walking back and forth.

But now, the floor on the second floor is spotless, and there is a glow even without the lights on. The sofa bed is soft and clean. Everything looks like a model room in a furniture store.

It’s a ghost...but it’s not a ghost!

A secret suspicion welled up in Tu Lanxun's mind: Could it be that N had cleaned the second floor? Although that was easy for a supernatural being to do, N's act itself was completely beyond her imagination.

Yes, he seemed to love cleanliness. Even after becoming a ghost, his clothes were still brand new and crisp, without even a wrinkle, not to mention dust or dirt. He also always wore gloves.

N was as clean as a freshly swept altar in front of a tombstone. So even the second floor of the convenience store, which had nothing to do with him, he wouldn't tolerate the slightest bit of dirt or dinginess.

All she wants to say is, please keep up the habit.

Tu Lanxun sat down on the sofa bed and paused. The clothes she was wearing had been worn in a funeral home, and her sleeves had touched the door of the morgue.

She was extremely disgusted and bared her teeth slightly in the dark, but she had no change of clothes, so she had to bear it.

After moving around, he suddenly found a pile of flexible objects under the blanket. He pulled them out and saw that they were a set of clothes, a basic white sweatshirt and gray-green trousers. The fabric was soft and new, obviously women's clothing.

Bodhisattva, when did you release this?

Or, how did N take this into consideration?

It was clearly a fierce ghost that pinched people and forced them to become accomplices, but he secretly cleaned the second floor and prepared a set of clothes, which he quietly placed under the blanket.

A hunter who knew how to wait on his prey. Tu Lanxun thought about it and felt that he had become even more perverted, and he couldn't help but shudder.

Of course she took advantage of the good things and put them on quickly as if she was afraid that N would change his mind. The size fit her perfectly and the style was attractive. The material was similar to what she had worn before. She could wear it out or as pajamas.

The second floor of the convenience store was silent, the windows dim at night. From the ground floor, a rhythmic dripping sound, like the breath of rain, drifted faintly. The world was at peace.

"Thank you." Tu Lanxun didn't dare to speak. She typed a few words on her mobile phone and sent it to a random contact. A red dot popped up, and the message failed to be sent.

But she knew that N saw it.

When I woke up the next day, it was exactly 7:30.

When Tu Lanxun went downstairs, N had already appeared, still sitting in a corner away from the morning light, with the wordless book spread on his knees.

He changed into black clothes. His black jacket was folded over the back of the chair, and he was wearing a slim-fitting black high-necked top, which made his neck straight and his shoulders and chest lines appear faintly visible.

The sleeves were neatly folded at the forearm, revealing a thin, straight forearm, and above that a pair of well-fitting black leather gloves. The pale skin and the black covering formed a strong contrast.

Tu Lanxun suddenly felt uncomfortable in the white and green clothes on his body, but N's eyes didn't move at all, as if it had nothing to do with him at all.

She found two bags of bread for breakfast. Since she didn't eat the mayonnaise and ham bread N last time, she kept that bag for herself and placed the other bag of pineapple jam on the shelf. "It's time for breakfast."

She didn't dare go near the computer again, so she dragged her chair to the door where there was better sunlight. When she looked back after finishing her meal, the pineapple jam bread on the shelf had disappeared.

So fast.

There was still a quarter to eight o'clock. N stood up and gave her a cold look, "Let's go."

It is not easy to get a taxi in the development zone, Tu Lanxun thought, but he did not expect that as soon as he walked out of the convenience store, he saw a silver-gray Jetta sedan parked on the corner of the street, which was not there yesterday.

"Can you drive?" N glanced at the Jetta.

Tu Lanxun choked and said, "Yes, but I don't drive it often. I've only driven a manual transmission car at a driving school."

The two men walked over, without seeing the car keys, and the silver-gray Jetta automatically opened the doors on both sides, like an old bird slightly spreading its wings, which scared Tu Lanxun.

She looked at the driver's seat, and the unique light smell of engine oil of old cars entered her nose. N sat in the passenger seat, and the seat belt automatically fell down like a cobra, wrapped around his body, and went into the buckle.

Two seconds later, under N's ​​silent urging gaze, Tu Lanxun also experienced the feeling of being wrapped around by a cobra, and his scalp was tingling.

The car started, but the smell of engine oil quickly dissipated, replaced by the unique smell of cemetery grass and trees on N's body. The wind blew in through the gaps in the side window, and Tu Lanxun drove towards the Qingshan Road indicated by N.

Qingshan Lake and the adjacent Qingshan Highway are in the south of the city, while the development zone is in the west. The ring road passing through is only slightly affected by the morning rush hour, and there are some cars on the same road, but not many.

The car had only driven a few kilometers when Tu Lanxun changed gears twice and even stalled and backfired. The Jetta is really too old.

Despite the horn honking from the car behind him, N remained seated, his eyes closed, resting his mind. He didn't rush her, nor did he offer to take over the driving. Tu Lanxun had no choice but to restart the car. Fortunately, the driver had gotten used to it and didn't make any more mistakes.

After another quarter of an hour, the road became wide and smooth, the sky was blue and the wind was clear, and the mountains and fields were visible in the distance.

"Is that Qingshan Lake over there?" Tu Lanxun tried to strike up a conversation. "I used to go there when I was a kid. The hairy reeds were taller than a person. It was quite interesting."

She talked about this and that, but never mentioned the purpose of her trip, trying hard to pretend that she was not involved in other things.

The car turned into the side road of Qingshan Lake, where there was an old parking lot with the white lines badly eroded. Apart from road signs and a small locked public toilet, there was no sign of human habitation.

Tu Lanxun had heard of Qingshan Lake, which got its name from the last low-lying part of the Xichun Mountains. In fact, it is just a wild water pool in a low valley. It is called a lake, with lush vegetation and has not been artificially developed. In fact, it is a good place for anglers to catch fish.

They parked the car in the venue, and under N's ​​guidance, she walked towards the woods on the hillside, crossed a narrow road, and behind her was Qingshan Lake.

This stretch of road was closed to traffic, but there were no shoe prints either. It had rained a few days ago, and the stone bricks were a bit muddy, but it had been washed away. Tu Lanxun hopped across the open space, and the scene by Qingshan Lake was completely unexpected.

The Qingshan Lake in my childhood memory is warm in color, with the water surface sparkling with golden light, and it is frighteningly large, as if it is as boundless as the ocean. Occasionally, I dream of it and swing the small blue-painted xiao into the water, as if it were a free little fish.

The Qingshan Lake in front of me has become smaller, but the water is dark, and you can see that the lake bottom is very deep. What is most wrong is that the lake surface is shrouded in a layer of gloomy and heavy mixed air, above which is dark black fog, which turns into cold white air near the water, licking the lake surface like frost, and it seems that it will condense into ice at any time.

Tu Lanxun blinked hard, she was not dazzled, those things were real.

"Hello..." She was about to speak when she heard laughter coming from not far away. It was a young couple, wearing the same color windbreakers and playing around. There were a few streaks of dust on their pants. When Tu Lanxun came, he glanced at a gentle slope of earth and rocks. It was more convenient than the parking lot, but also more dangerous. Maybe they came from there.

There was also a camping bag hanging on a branch behind him, which had bent the branch so much that it was about to break. Tu Lanxun felt pain for the tree.

There are actually people here, and judging from their expressions, they seem to be completely unaware that there is anything wrong with the lake.

"There are living people over there. Let's just forget it." Tu Lanxun was not sure whether N could be seen by them. She spoke without moving her lips, hoping that he would change his mind.

N looked at the couple with cold indifference. After two seconds, he sneered, "Are you sure?"

The couple in windbreakers hugged each other and took selfies. The girl in front jumped lively, waved vigorously in the direction of Tu Lanxun, and smiled brightly.

Tu Lanxun subconsciously responded with a greeting, but found that the sunlight above her head was cold and bright. The girl was jumping around by the lake, but there was nothing under her feet, and no shadow.

That boy also has no shadow, they are both ghosts.

When she came to her senses, the couple in the windbreaker jackets had disappeared, along with the bag. Only the bent branches remained, drooping to the ground.

Tu Lanxun subconsciously turned on her cell phone. The signal was weak, so she typed in the keywords Qingshan Lake and couple in windbreaker jackets, and sure enough, a piece of news popped up.

A couple committed suicide by Qingshan Lake in Lucheng, only 23 years old. Their family mourned at the scene, which was heartbreaking.

The picture accompanying the news was a group photo of the two deceased in their circle of friends, showing a young couple, while the next picture was the actual scene, a camping bag hanging on a tree branch, right at the same location.

The camping bag hung alone, like the only bright spot of color in the lake, hanging there like a giant cocoon. Her heart was filled with depression.

Although the couple in windbreakers died by the lake, the cause of death was hanging. The incident happened last year and did not cause much stir.

"Suicide for love, hanging?" Tu Lanxun frowned. "Their ghosts are sunny, obviously playing and joking by the lake. How could they commit suicide for love?"

And there's another, more important point: she actually saw a ghost and its influence field. First, Tu Lanxun didn't want to think about it at all. Secondly, she saw N before because N showed up on his own initiative. Now she saw a couple...

Tu Lanxun followed up by asking, "Could it be that they were trying to tell me that they were murdered?"

N glanced down at her. Ever since arriving at the lake, his gaze had been fixed on the dark aura in the center of the lake, his face expressionless. But when Tu Lanxun asked him about this, his expression brightened a little, "It's possible he's trying to trick you into coming over and killing you."

These words made Tu Lanxun break out in a cold sweat. She then remembered that she was afraid of ghosts. Looking around, she found that she was the only living person among the four figures that appeared by the lake.

She quickly decided not to get involved in the couple's affairs, to resolve the current situation as quickly as possible, and then leave this unlucky place. So she asked, "What should we do now? You want to help Uncle Liu find something? Is it in the lake?"

If so, he should go down quickly, find the answer, drive away, and never mention asking her for help. She should just think of it as coming here early in the morning to practice driving.

And it's useless to drag her along, she is not very good at swimming, and N is so omnipotent, it's easy for him to go into the sea, let alone the lake.

As soon as he went out, he ran into two ghosts. Tu Lanxun felt that the black wallet was not enough.

"I'm going down to the lake." N seemed to see through her thoughts and suddenly smiled. His smile was dark and brilliant, and it was definitely not a good thing. "But do you plan to go down with me to find the ghosts at the bottom of the lake? Or stay on the shore and build some relationship with that couple?"
