The traffic in the town was blocked, and the big cars were like boulders placed in the narrow river. The stream of people was like a faint stream of water, flowing through the rocks. On both sides of the street, all kinds of hawkers were shouting with all their might, trying their best to attract business. She looked through the car window at the red candied fruit in front of her. She swallowed her saliva with difficulty and looked at Li Zimei, who was sitting beside her with a resentful expression. Seeing that her expression was still the same, he gave up the idea of asking her. Just as she was about to open the window to call for the peddler, Zi Mei secretly nudged her. She stopped caring about her and sat down obediently.
Lin Yi saw the concerned look in the mirror and looked at Li Zimei. He shook his head helplessly and looked at Ling Qi.
Ling Seven also noticed that something was wrong with this person, so he pretended to emphasize," How could these two beauties force themselves like this! If you want to eat, just buy it!"
"Humph! Two big liars." Zi Mei saw Ling Qi smiling at her and the fire in her heart was ignited again. With a cold snort, he turned his head away from the two of them.
"Yo yo! What big liar? We didn't force you!”Ling Seven explained reluctantly.
"Sister Ling Qi, I was forced to do this, everyone knows that!”Seeing that the two of them were starting to quarrel, he hurriedly tried to smooth things over.
"And me!" There was a row of six or seven people in the MPV. Lu Liuyi sat there quietly with his arms crossed. When he heard someone say this, he also interjected.
"Student Lu, your grandfather agreed to let you come here. Besides, I didn't tie you up, did I?”Ling Jiu was originally watching the bustling market, but when he heard Lu Sixth indirectly slander him, he explained in a strange tone.
"Stop pretending. You're just afraid that I'll touch the things in the lake when you're not around!”Six One saw through Ling Jiu's scheme and mercilessly exposed her.
"Something in the lake? Xiao Jiu, is there a treasure in your school's lake?”It was quite boring to be concerned. The candied hawthorns that made her drool had already left. The First Master looked at him affectionately before he left, but he did not say anything else and left with the crowd. He asked casually when he heard the few of them chatting.
"That's right! There was a big treasure! However, he did not know what it was. Where is someone? We can't bear to share, so we can only close our eyes and guess.”Ling Jiu shrugged his shoulders and leaned back lazily.
"Little brother, do you know? Tell me!" She raised her eyebrows at Six One with a concerned smile and asked playfully.
"Ah! Baby, right, big baby! White and round!" Seeing his cute sister turn her head to ask him, he was too embarrassed to refuse, so he simply explained.
"White? It's round!" His concerned eyes gradually turned dull. He thought for a while and turned his gaze to Zi Mei beside him. Seeing Zi Mei's chest rise and fall, she stretched out her finger and opened her mouth in surprise. She was about to call out in a delicate voice.
However, Ling Nine interrupted her and asked Ling Seven who was staring at the road ahead," Sister, what is in the lake?”
"Hmm? What was that? It's nothing. Just be careful with Student Lu. You're not mainly in charge of these things. Someone will naturally handle this." Ling Seven saw that Ling Jiu was curious, but he did not reveal more information. Just as he was about to brush it off, he heard Lu Liu say seriously,
"I suspect that your classmate is performing the Withering Vermilion Face ritual.”
"Withered Vermilion Face? Zhou Qing?"
"Yes, Withered Vermilion Face. It was a name they had given themselves. People blame me for not having any color, and dare not say that I have withered into a red face.”
"What does this have to do with Zhou Qing?" Ling Jiu asked in confusion when Liu Yi mentioned Zhou Qing.
"Some people are always dissatisfied with the current situation. They will be jealous when they see others being so beautiful. They will also be jealous when they see others being so rich. But sometimes, hard work was not enough, so they would try the benefits of those taboos. No one knew when a malicious sorcery had been circulating in the school, which could satisfy a wish of the caster. Your classmate should be the spellcaster this time!”
"Evil arts? This time?" Ling Jiu felt a headache coming on. She had only been here for two months, and she didn't expect that there would be so many things hidden here. Thinking of her grandfather's instructions, it seemed that she would be busy in the future.
"Aiya, alright, alright! Student Lu, what nonsense are you spouting! Since she was out during the holidays, she should have fun. You don't have to do your homework!”Ling Qi knew that if he said this too early, it would easily cause trouble, so he interrupted them and stopped them from talking.
"A bunch of liars." Li Zimei said resentfully. She turned her head and stared straight into Lin Yi's eyes in the mirror. Lin Yi's eyes, which were originally looking at her, also turned away in embarrassment. When Zi Mei saw this, her face instantly turned toot. When she saw that Lin Yi, who had always been thinking about her, actually colluded with others to scheme against her, her mood became even worse.
"Ah!" Lin Yi saw them talking one after another and pressed the horn impatiently. The front of the car gradually became clear. He put his mind on driving and no longer cared about the gossip around him.
Seeing that the boy was still arguing with Ling Jiu, Ling Seven started to consider him. According to Ling Jiu, he had also been paying attention to the situation in the lake. He was afraid that Ling Jiu would act on his own while he was away, so he dragged him over. It seemed that he had some ability. He might be able to help when the time came. As she thought about it, she rubbed her head and fell asleep.
The wind was blowing outside the window, and only Lin Yi and Lin Yi were awake in the car. He didn't know why he was always so concerned about this girl. Lin Yi was already tired from driving, but she was still as if nothing had happened. The latter looked at her through the rearview mirror and saw that she had been leaning against the car window and looking outside. She could not help but feel envious. Why were some people so energetic?
Lin Yi saw a shop in front of him, so he parked the car by the roadside and asked someone to watch over him. Then, he ran over alone to buy some water and food. He also asked his sister how to get down, but the shop owner only gave him vague directions. This place was hidden in the mountains. Although it was a rather lively place, not many people knew about it.
Lin Yi had no choice but to walk forward and ask someone else. The sky slowly became cooler after noon. The sun was sometimes covered by clouds, and sometimes it was completely exposed to the sky. After walking for a while, there was no green in front of them. Turning left and right, they actually entered a stone mountain. Only on the mountain peak could one see a little bit of green. Strong pine trees grew scattered there.
After walking on the mountain road, they arrived at a canyon and crossed a bridge. Seeing that the road extended in two directions, Lin Yi was at a loss for words. They heard the sound of water and gradually woke up. Zi Mei rolled down the window and looked at the river under the bridge a few meters away. Below the bridge was a winding path that led to the bottom of the valley. There were many green plants around the river. Zi Mei's depressed mood had mostly dissipated after a nap. She opened the car door and wanted to go out and take a look. However, a large hand blocked her way and pushed the car door back. Zi Mei raised her head and saw the person who always filled her with joy standing outside the car door. However, at this moment, Zi Mei couldn't bear to pay attention to her anymore. However, she was holding it in.
Zi Mei pushed the car door open and stood in front of Lin Yi. She turned her head slightly and walked towards the bridge.
"Zimei!" Lin Yi called out softly. Seeing that there was no response, he had no choice but to give up and go to the side.
The few of them also got out of the car and stood by the bridge, looking at the surrounding canyon scenery.
"How is it? Is the map useful?”
"What's going on? The new map drawn two years ago doesn't have a path downstream! Strange!" Ling Qi pointed at the road to the left and then pointed at the map. When he saw Lin Yi coming over, he moved closer and pointed it out to him.
"New?"
"I think so. Then it should be the way upstream, right?”
"Yes, then get in the car! It'll save us trouble if we arrive as soon as possible!" Lin Yi took the map from Ling Qi and after taking a look at it, he kept it and turned around to call for the others to get into the car and prepare to set off.
However, when she turned her head, she realized that the few people who were standing by the lake had disappeared. The bridge was empty, only he, Ling Seven, and a car were there.
Just as Lin Yi was puzzled, he heard a scream from under the bridge. This voice sounded so familiar. It was Zi Mei!
