[Exclusive from Jinjiang] Please enter the funeral guest
A red and white three-wheeled taxi was parked on the side of the dim road, its orange and yellow low beam lights flashing several times, urging people to get in the car and attend the banquet.
The two of them dragged their suitcases out of the canteen and walked towards the tricycle taxi on the roadside. With just one glance, Yu Yu's originally happy mood suddenly fell to the bottom.
In the half-arm-long glass window, a man with a distinct jawline stared at them without blinking. The car lights flashed, and with a crisp "click", the red tricycle door was bounced open, swinging halfway to reveal the double seat inside.
It looks very humane, but it cannot hide the fact that the tricycle driver is a paper man.
Yu Yuhun felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. His right hand, which was holding the suitcase, tightened and loosened again.
"That's what I meant."
The senior student beside him made a sound of sudden enlightenment, which made Yu Yu stiffen his neck and look at her sideways: "Senior, Senior student?"
The sky was dark, making the smile on the senior sister's face seem a little unpredictable. Yu Yu only heard her snort and laugh, and she didn't seem to care much about the fact that the driver was a paper man.
"Yu," she explained patiently, her lips curled up, "Have you seen Silent Ridge?"
Silent Hill... the most classic horror movie.
In order to train herself not to be afraid of ghosts, Yu Yu once watched in fear and trepidation in the dark while wearing headphones and holding on to the quilt.
She nodded. "What's wrong?"
"It's a very complicated situation." Senior Luo chuckled and raised her hand to knock on the driver's seat window, but the paper man inside remained unmoved and stared stiffly ahead without moving.
She seemed to sigh with some regret, and then continued: "In short, we are now in the inner world."
"If nothing unexpected happens, everyone we see next will appear in front of us as paper figures."
Yu Yu: ...Isn't that terrible?!
When the little school girl thought about her first face-to-face contact with the paper doll in the canteen not long ago, she wanted to throw the old landline phone again.
But apparently, she was the only one who felt this way among the two members of the expedition. Because Luo's face was not only not afraid, but even surprised.
"It's so realistic." Yu Yu even heard her praise quietly.
...Perhaps as an intern at the underworld, Luo has seen too much.
Yu Yu got on the back seat of a tricycle taxi with her senior schoolmate, feeling a complex mood that she couldn't describe.
She laid the suitcase horizontally behind her feet, otherwise there would not be enough space in the back seat to carry the suitcase up.
"But don't be afraid," Senior Luo rubbed her head and comforted her, perhaps because her fear was too obvious, "Just think of it as a visit to a haunted house."
Yu Yu: "Senior, I have never been to a haunted house."
Watching horror movies at night is her limit. Entering a haunted house? Sorry, others might run out screaming, but she might even run out crying with the staff.
The senior student was startled and thought seriously for a while: "So, you want to go to the countryside to get to know the grassroots and understand the situation there? Don't worry, I'm here."
Yu Yu: ...
Although she still felt extremely safe around her senior,...
Thank you. It feels like the whole area is red.
It's hard to imagine what the underworld is like right now.
Sitting in the back seat of the smooth three-wheeled vehicle, Yu Yu remembered that they had curiously asked their senior about the underworld before.
"It's a secret," the senior student shook her head, a little embarrassed, "I signed a contract and cannot reveal the secret."
Then again, Hades really has moved with the times.
...Of course, it is also very popular.
Once horror movies and socialism are linked, the style of painting seems to become strange.
Yu Yu patted her cheeks and tried to cheer herself up. She turned her head and looked out the window.
It was already pitch black outside the car, but the sky in the countryside gets darker later than in the city. There was still a hint of orange-red light in the sky at around eight o'clock. With this light, Yu Yu could see the long grass and fields on the roadside moving backwards.
"It's really interesting," the senior student suddenly leaned over to her ear and whispered, "Look, the paper man's hands are not attached to the steering wheel, but the car is still moving forward as usual."
That's indeed true.
Yu Yu looked closely and saw that the paper driver's two paper arms were hanging at his sides, but the steering wheel in front of him was slightly adjusted left and right to maintain balance as if someone was controlling it.
She silently repeated in her mind, "go to the countryside and get to the grassroots level" and "conduct social practice research", and forced herself to suppress her fear in the deepest part of her heart.
No, it's just the other world! As long as we get those wedding invitations done, everything will be back to normal, right? !
"I don't know if I can talk to you." After saying this, Senior Sister Luo calmly spoke to the paper man driver, "Master, do you know the Shao family?"
Shao family.
Yu Yu recalled the question her senior had asked her before.
But unfortunately, she recalled all the names of people in the village, and no one had the surname Shao. It would be more accurate to say that most people in Yujia Village had the surname Yu, and there was no one with the surname Ma.
My senior said that the ghost girl in the wedding dress was called "Ma Niang".
Yu Yu didn't know either Ma Niang or the Shao family.
In response to Senior Sister Luo's question, the paper driver remained silent and just increased the speed of the vehicle. When the tricycle came to a complete stop, Yu Yu glanced at the screen of his mobile phone.
Only half an hour has passed...
After unlocking the car bolt, Senior Luo jumped out of the car first, turned on the flashlight on her cell phone, and took the suitcase from Yu Yu.
After the two people got off the car completely, the small three-wheeled vehicle drove away again.
Suddenly, a hot wind blew in the night, ruffling the loose hair on Yu Yu's cheeks.
This feeling suddenly reminded her of the summer nights she spent with her grandmother, when they would move a chair and sit in the cobblestone yard, looking at the starry sky that could not be seen at a glance in the city.
A rare comfort.
After the hot wind, she also turned on the flashlight on her mobile phone and said, "My home is quite close to the village entrance. Just go forward, turn around a small ditch and continue walking for another 100 or 200 meters!"
The hands that were dragging the suitcase suddenly let go, and the suitcase, without support, swayed a few times and then almost fell to the ground. It was only because Luo Shiqin reached out to hold on to it that it was saved from danger.
The unfinished words in Yu Yu's throat were blocked. Her pupils trembled countless times. She stretched out her hand and pointed forward tremblingly: "Senior sister——?!"
Luo Shiqin said helplessly: "The senior is here." She pressed on the junior's shoulders and forced her to calm down.
Following Yu Yu's gaze, Luo Shiqin quickly found something that shocked her.
A man in short-sleeved shirt was standing at the edge of the ditch with his back to them. He was swaying so much that it was hard not to suspect that he would fall into the ditch at any second.
More importantly, it wasn't a paper figure.
Perhaps because the light from the cell phone flashlight shone on the other person's back, he stopped swaying and then turned around.
Yu Yu's scream did not burst out of her throat.
Because the other person is not only not a paper figure, but also looks very handsome.
It's a girl.
"Um?"
Yu Yu heard her surprised cry when she turned around and saw them, then she smiled and waved at Yu Yu.
"Hello, Yu Yu!"
Yu Yu:?
No, she knows me?
Wait, how does she know me?
Wait a minute, could the person who met her in this place be a good person? !
Countless equations in his mind finally came to this conclusion. Without thinking, Yu Yu immediately took a step back, lifted the suitcase behind him and placed it in front of him, and said angrily: "Don't come over here!!"
I'll throw the suitcase away if you come over again!
Luo Shiqin was caught off guard and staggered by the huge force of her schoolmate: …
The mysterious girl standing opposite Yu Yu was also stunned for a moment, but seemed to adapt well and laughed heartily: "You are still the same as before."
Does the tone of voice suggest you know him?
Luo Shiqin's gaze moved to the mysterious girl's head, but unexpectedly found no trace of the book of life on her head.
This was the first time she had encountered such a situation.
"Me, me!" The girl pointed at herself with her right hand, her expression natural, "Yun Yu'er!"
Yu Yu:?
"Oh, don't you remember?" Yun Yu'er showed a distressed expression, then smiled widely and continued to explain patiently, "The one who lived at the end of the village, the one who was a very good swimmer! The one who begged for a bath with you in the stream by the reservoir!"
Yu Yu quickly waved his hands and said in horror: "Stop, stop, stop, I remember!!"
It was many years ago that she swam in the reservoir in her hometown!
But when I was seven or eight years old, I did have a female friend who I was pretty good with.
"Yun Yu'er..." This name was indeed familiar, and it also matched the nickname given to children in her hometown. Yu Yu relaxed a little, looked at the girl in front of her carefully, and suddenly said, "It's so late, why don't you go home?"
Yun Yu'er was very pretty and lovely, with crescent-shaped eyebrows and a pair of clear black pupils, which immediately made Yu Yu let down his guard.
She was wearing a short-sleeved shirt, which was not uncommon in the somewhat sultry summer. She was just worried that there would be too many mosquitoes at night and that Yunyuer's thin arms and legs might get bitten and bleed.
The little girl smiled and narrowed her eyes: "It's okay, it's only been a few hours, not even ten o'clock."
She shifted her eyes slightly and looked at the girl standing next to Yu Yu, and asked curiously: "Yu Yu, who is she?"
"This is my senior," Yu Yu introduced subconsciously, "I am currently studying at Maosen University, and she is my roommate."
Senior Luo smiled and greeted: "Hello, my name is Luo Shiqin."
"Hello, hello," Yun Yu'er nodded with a smile, "Just call me Yun Yu'er."
"What about you, Yun Yu'er?" Seeing an acquaintance, Yu Yu was not as nervous as before, and it was a good opportunity to chat for a few minutes, "Why are you here? I mean... are you back from vacation?"
She hadn't met Yun Yuer when she returned to the village before. Although Yu Yu was happy to meet an acquaintance, the fact that Senior Sister Luo had said that they were in the inner world made her have to be a little more vigilant.
Yun Yuer: "I'm on vacation. There's a wedding going on in the village, so I came back to join in the fun."
Yu Yu and Senior Sister Luo looked at each other, not knowing whether they should say that one of them might be one of the so-called protagonists of the wedding.
"Although it's not too late," Yun Yu'er said jokingly, as if she didn't notice their strange expressions, "but if you enter the village at this time, you don't have to worry about taking the wrong road."
She blinked. "It would be unfortunate if I fell into the ditch and got splashed with water."
After half an hour's drive on the small road, the sky in the countryside had become completely dark. Fortunately, my cell phone had enough battery and I brought enough power banks with me, so I could see the dark road ahead clearly with the help of the flashlight.
"How about this, I'll take you away." Yun Yu'er jumped away from the edge of the ditch and said cheerfully, "I'll go first, and you follow behind. I promise not to let you fall on the road!"
She spoke with great confidence and moved quickly, and almost the moment she made the remarks, she led the way happily.
"--Yuyu, don't be so stubborn," Yun Yuer's laughter came from the front, "You were afraid of the dark when you were a child. I remember it clearly. One day, you and I were walking on the road at night, and when we got home, you still held my hand and refused to let go!"
Yu Yu: “Hey!”
She yelled in shame, "Stop talking!"
Only close friends know that you are afraid of the dark and ghosts. Yu Yu breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Senior Luo who had been silent: "So, Senior, shall we go?"
"Let's go."
The senior student responded happily, as if she had no doubt about Yun Yuer's identity at all.
Is it really because I am too nervous?
Yu Yu followed in a daze all the way, and soon arrived at his own yard.
A low, one-story brick and tile house appeared within the range illuminated by the cell phone flashlight. Dragging the box to the locked wooden door, Yu Yu looked at the familiar building and breathed a sigh of relief.
Yun Yuer: “We’re here!”
She waved her hand towards Yu Yu and said, "I'm going back first. I'll come and play with you tomorrow morning!"
Without waiting for Yu Yu to reply, the little girl ran into the darkness by herself, and soon her footsteps could no longer be heard.
While Yu Yu was looking for the key in her bag, she complained to Senior Luo: "I've seen so many strange things along the way. Now I see an acquaintance and I think she's a little weird."
She laughed at herself and said, "I am really timid."
Senior Luo was looking around the old house when she heard this and said, "No, you are right. She is not alive."
"Yeah, it looks like she's fine - huh??!"
Yu Yu looked blankly at Senior Luo, who didn't think she had said anything earth-shattering, and took a deep breath:
"ah???"
Entering the village! For some reason, starting from this chapter, most of this copy (key points) is from Yu Yu's perspective! (Some places will be interspersed back to the perspective of the senior sister)
Start showing the image of the senior sister in the eyes of others ww
There will be another chapter added later.
This chapter drops fifty small red envelopes~
