Chapter 142: The Curse of Black-clothed Town
It was already night when the car arrived in Hefei. Zhuang Ning wanted to rush back to her hometown overnight. I could understand her mood and didn't say much.
But after asking several black car drivers in a row, they were unwilling to run into the mountains. In the end, there was no choice but to deal with them in a small hotel nearby for one night.
Of course, each person and one room, I am very confident in Yin Xinyue.
Early the next morning, we booked a car on the road. The car was a worn-out Wuling Hongguang. The driver proudly told me that the car had already been turned seven times when it reached him, but the configuration was very good, and he comforted us not to worry.
Can you not worry about it? I am really afraid of flying out with the tires on.
The broken car drove up and made a rumbling sound, and thick smoke kept coming out from behind his butt. The drive was very long. Zhuang Ning in the back seat probably fell asleep against the back of his chair because he was worried that his parents had not had a good sleep all night.
While smoking, the driver chatted with me in a mess and said, "Brother, is this your girlfriend?"
I shook my head: "No, it's a fellow villager, I just went back together."
The driver did not take his heart and nodded, "Did you also receive the news and rush back to find the baby?"
Baby, what baby?
Seeing me appearing puzzled, the driver smiled and said with a thunderous smile: "It's true that you don't know? It took half a month of heavy rain in the mountains a few days ago, and then it was flooded. Jingxian had the worst disaster. Many tomb buns were washed away by the flood. The people who were originally frowning were so happy that they were not afraid of death to go into the mountain to pick up treasures. I wanted to follow them to take advantage of them, but these villages were staring at them very tightly. People who were not from their own villages would not let them go up the mountain at all. By the way..." Speaking of this, the driver handed me a wrinkled business card: "Brother, this is my business card. I see that you look pretty and want to trade with you. If you pick up a good baby, contact me and I will find someone to sell it for you. I'm not bragging to you, my brother knows all antique collection tycoons, you just need to give me some hard work..."
He actually made his business to me? I am the number one evil businessman in Wuhan.
I took his business card, smiled and didn't say anything again.
The car drove until afternoon, and it started to rain heavily outside the window. Perhaps it was too loud, Zhuang Ning in the back seat also woke up. She looked out the window worriedly and asked, "When did it rain so heavily?"
The driver said with a smile: "This is not big. You have not seen the rain a few days ago, it's like the sky leaking."
It would be fine if he didn't say it, but Zhuang Ning became even more anxious when he said it.
The sky became darker and darker. I wiped the heat from the car window and looked out. I saw some villages vaguely under the dark clouds. Zhuang Ning introduced: "This is Jingxian. If you walk up, you will reach my house..."
It was not far away, but it took more than an hour to drive. There were dense trees on both sides of the road, and some sections were filled with stones, making it extremely difficult to drive.
I finally understood why other drivers refused to come, and only this driver agreed immediately. His car was too broken and he didn't feel sorry for driving it!
Although it was afternoon, it was already dark and it was almost dawning.
When I was about to arrive at the Black-clothed Town, Zhuangning's hometown, the broken car finally broke down. The driver scolded and kicked and kicked the car. After discussing with me, Zhuangning decided to walk to the town in the rain.
After paying the car, the driver took my hand and said repeatedly: "Brother, if you get a good baby, remember to think about me. The price is easy to say, and the price is easy to say!"
Zhuang Ning and I left without looking back.
Perhaps God helped, the heavy rain had become much lighter. Under Zhuang Ning's guidance, I successfully came to Black Clothing Town. An ancient stone archway stood in front of the town. Judging from the carving technique, it should be a building from the Qing Dynasty. The three words "Black Clothing Town" were engraved on the top of the archway.
Zhuang Ning was used to these things, so he speeded up and took me into the town.
The town is not big, there is only one old street, and all the houses are built on both sides of the old street. Perhaps because of the rain, there is not a single person in the town, and the surroundings are surprisingly quiet. Only raindrops hit the bluestone slabs, making a clattering sound.
I looked around alertly, only to feel a gloomy and chill in the air, which was different from the ordinary cold, as if there was an extremely powerful yin energy hidden in it.
This yin energy made me stunned, but it was quickly replaced by excitement.
If you clean up it up, how much good deeds will you have to accumulate?
I followed Zhuang Ning excitedly.
Zhuang Ning's home lives in the innermost part of Black-clothed Town. It was a dilapidated house. Zhuang Ning pushed the door open and walked in without thinking. There was no one in the yard. Zhuang Ning called out twice, and an old and thin woman poked her head out of the room. She squinted her eyes and looked at her for a long time before she recognized Zhuang Ning and ran out crying: "Xiao Ning, is it... it's you? Why are you back?"
Zhuang Ning's face was pale with an anxious face: "I received a letter from you and your father, but it didn't make it clear. I was worried about it, so I quickly asked for leave. What happened?"
After hearing Zhuang Ning's words, Aunt Zhuang held her hand tightly and cried, "Xiao Ning, you... your father is afraid that he will not be able to do it."
"What?" Zhuang Ning was so scared that his face turned pale: "Don't worry, make it clear."
Aunt Zhuang only knew how to cry and couldn't say anything. I winked at Zhuang Ning. Although she was panicked, she quickly calmed down and rushed into the room with me.
The room was very wet and there was no electric light. There was only a piece of dusty furniture in the dim room, and a wet man lay on the bed in the corner.
Zhuang Ning only glanced at it and screamed: "Dad, Dad! Can you hear my voice? I am Xiao Ning, I'm back!"
The man was motionless, like a living dead without consciousness.
Zhuang Ning stretched out his hand to detect the man's body temperature. As soon as his palm touched the man's forehead, he immediately shrank back. He looked back at me with horror and said, "Mr. Zhang, my father seems a little strange..."
I leaned over and observed carefully and found that Zhuang Ning's father's face was a strange gray color, and it was wet from head to toe, as if he had just been in a rain.
I gently touched his forehead, and my tentacles were cold, as if they were wrapped in ice.
I frowned, what's going on?
Aunt Zhuang walked in crying and said, "Xiao Ning, if your father is gone, our family will collapse. How can we live in the future?"
Zhuang Ning was upset by her crying and said angrily: "Mom, since Dad is so sick, why don't you take him to the hospital? What's the use of lying at home like this?"
