Invade the World

  Chapter 215 Walk with me

  Xu Xiangyang sighed, and finally couldn't help but persuade.

   "Qingyue, don't you think these people are very pitiful? You can tell from the way they are now that the death of these people is uncomfortable. They should have suffered a great deal of pain before they died."

"Yes?"

  Zhu Qingyue circled the female ghosts in white clothes a few times, focused on observing the wounds on the little girls, and then lifted up the long hair...

  She uttered a soft cry of "Yeah!", and Xu Xiangyang turned her head a step earlier and couldn't bear to look straight.

   "The reason why they came to this hotel is probably to find revenge for the murderer who killed them, that is, the psychic..."

"……Oh?"

  Zhu Qingyue squinted her eyes and her expression became a little dangerous.

  Her eyes moved up and down, looking at the mother and daughter.

"Is that right?"

  The female ghosts in white are naturally motionless, unable to respond.

  But she seemed to have the answer, and she nodded slightly.

  "Since you have become my pets... well, my partner, your business is my business. As the saying goes, "revenge revenge and retribution", if I meet that guy, I will definitely not let it go."

After dropping this sentence, Zhu Qingyue patted the female ghosts carelessly on the shoulders, like a gangster.

  Xu Xiangyang scratched his hair.

   "So, are you planning to help them get revenge? The tour will start tomorrow, or you will stay in the hotel first and I will gather information..."

   "No, this matter is important, but it's not that important either."

  Zhu Qingyue's expression is very relaxed.

"It’s hard to come by. Enjoying the vacation is the most important thing. And listening to what you just described, the murderer’s psychic ability seems to be a type of hiding. He can escape the hunt, and even has spare capacity to run to the city to capture the hostages. It means that this guy can't find it if he wants to."

  Xu Xiangyang thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

   "Okay, let's go back."

  ……

  After returning to the room, Zhu Qingyue wanted to jump onto the big bed for the first time, but she soon noticed Lin Xingjie in the quilt.

Under the dim light, the girl lay sideways on the pillow with her arms exposed. Her expression was peaceful, her long eyelashes quivered slightly with the sound of even breathing, and her long hair was on the mattress like wagging waterweeds. The upper bunk is unfolded.

  It can be seen that she slept very comfortably, with a sweet air, and a small pear vortex appeared on one cheek.

  Xu Xiangyang squatted down by the bed and looked at her closely. When he carefully stroked that soft long hair, he could still smell the fragrance of lotus in the hair.

   "Sleep really soundly."

  The squad leader standing by and said with a smile, a pair of thieves' hands quietly stretched over...

   "Hey, don't disturb her casually."

  He patted the back of Zhu Qingyue's hand. The girl drew her hand back obediently, but still kicked his **** with a little dissatisfaction.

   "By the way, Xingjie had a big trouble like tonight, won't it be a problem?"

  "What can be the problem? Anyway, it didn't hurt anyone. In order to protect ourselves from the damage caused by fighting the murderer, we can't be blamed."

  Xu Xiangyang shook his head.

   "If there is a problem, the local department should come to the door."

   "That's what I said."

  Zhu Qingyue's words are pointed.

   "Xiang Yang, in our state, is it an escape?"

  "Don’t you always think that life like this is all right?"

  "However, it cannot be maintained for a long time. Some things will not change according to our will."

  "Then you should look at the problem from another angle. People choose to escape because of fear, because of fear. Qingyue, are you afraid?"

   "No. I'm just... a little nervous." Zhu Qingyue's attitude at this time is very rare on her, "I don't know if I am ready..."

"me too."

  Xu Xiangyang answered softly.

   "——So, we are not escaping, but waiting."

  After a long period of silence, Xu Xiangyang heard the girl's chuckle from behind.

  "Thank you, let Xingjie and I wait with you."

  After the squad leader said these words, he seemed to relax and his tone became lazy.

  Her little hands lightly covered her lips, yawned, kicked off her shoes and climbed onto the bed.

   "I'm sleeping, you are free."

  Zhu Qingyue grabbed the quilt and lay down a short distance from the long-haired girl who was sharing the bed.

  Xu Xiangyang sat by the bed and waited for them. After hearing the uniform breathing sound from the direction of the squad leader, he got up and walked to the bedside table and turned off the light.

"Snapped."

  A quiet night enveloped the three people in the room.

  *

  After this incident, the tour group must be unable to stay in this place any longer.

  Early the next morning, everyone gathered on the first floor of the hotel and boarded the bus again to another hotel that the tour guide had booked overnight.

  The tour guide greeted them to get on the bus. This very energetic young man now has dark circles under his eyes, and yawns from time to time to support the spirit and chat with the tourists.

   Judging from the expressions of the passengers in the car, it is obvious that he was not the only one who could not sleep well last night.

  After arriving at the new hotel, allocating rooms and putting down their luggage, everyone got in the car again. In order to keep up with the schedule, they ran towards the first attraction without stopping.

  Their destination is a small town near the city.

  "This is the ancient town. It is the most important destination of our trip. There are also many scenic spots inside. Please enjoy it."

  After getting off the bus, the tour guide finally regained his spirit, introducing them to them with a little local pride in his tone.

  The small town is obviously not far from the city center, but it still retains its quaint style very well.

  Except for the main road in the center, most areas of the town are covered by criss-cross, spider-web-like lanes, and the ground is covered with pebbles, long or short, wide or narrow.

  People walking between the blue tiles and white walls, they may find surprises at any time. They may walk around a corner and they will be a new world, but the alleys are still quiet.

  A small continuous pool of water accumulates on the green brick road, which will appear after a few steps, reflecting the crystal light in the sun.

  Standing on the main road and looking forward, the distant mountains are like Dais. The outline of the winding mountain range is faintly visible in the wind of luck.

  An ancient town that can be opened to tourists from all over the country as a scenic spot, it is naturally indispensable for the style of the Jiangnan water town. Walking on the road, you can see stone bridges that have gone through the years and are full of traces of the age.

  Under the bridge is the river, and the dense water network covers the underground passages. The whole town seems to be supported on the lake.

  The water flowing under the bridge is very clear, and even the pebbles on the river bed are clearly visible. There are children playing and frolicking by the water, and women washing and washing rice by the water.

  Some children among the tourists are already eager to try, and Xu Xiangyang is a little moved.

  After all, it was summer, and they didn’t take long after they left the bus. After walking for a while, they began to feel dry, dry, sweaty. If they could jump into the cool water to get away from the heat...

  Of course, Xu Xiangyang finally suppressed this idea.

  You can’t take off your clothes and jump in in full view, right? His cheeks are not as thick as that.

After   , you can climb the mountain. If you can meet streams and lakes on the mountain, you will have fun with the water at that time.

  ……

  The members of the tour group, led by the tour guide, looked around and walked forward.

   Soon, the water surface beside the road guardrail they passed by began to deepen.

   "We can take a boat."

  The guide introduced them.

  Go down the steps at the head of the bridge. Near every step, there are boats that carry tourists for a living.

   is the kind of traditional awning boat with a boatman wearing a bamboo hat standing on the bow, which is almost like a scene in a martial arts movie.

  Obviously, a small awning boat could not carry many people, so the members of the tour group divided several boats and set off together.

  The boatman used bamboo poles to support the steps. The boat left the shore, carrying tourists through the stone bridges, and ripples on the water surface.

  Xu Xiangyang, who was sitting on the boat, sat on the bow of the boat with two friends, admiring the houses that were slowly receding back on the banks on both sides. Most of the houses are blue and white, and they look a bit old.

  In front of the door are often old ladies who are sitting on bamboo benches and knitting sweaters while basking in the sun, old men playing chess and drinking tea at the stone table, and children running around with fans.

  One of the naughty children saw tourists passing by. He didn't mean to be afraid of life. He puffed up his cheeks and used a toy circle soaked in bubble water to blow bubbles towards the passing ships.

   Soon a lot of bubbles appeared out of thin air, just like the sky has turned into an invisible sea and rolled up waves.

   Most of them slowly floated into the air, breaking into invisible water sprays, and a small piece of water followed the light wind and flew towards the awning boat.

  The bubbles refracted colorful brilliance under the sunlight, like a rainbow after the rain.

  ...A toy that I was addicted to when I was a kid.

  Xu Xiangyang sighed in his heart and couldn't help but stretch out his finger to burst one of the floating bubbles.

  He turned his head and looked at the others sitting on the boat. Whether it's Xingjie or Qingyue, or the adults traveling with them, Xu Xiangyang found that everyone's expressions are very leisurely.

  Although no one spoke, the atmosphere did not seem silent and awkward at all, because everyone was immersed in the beautiful experience of feeling the breeze coming from oncoming, or listening to the sound of boat oars breaking through the river.

  Finally, that little kid was thrown away with a crying face by the napping aunt in the canteen with her sleeves...

  The sun is shining, the clear water is clear, and the town scenery is desirable. It is not only the lively fireworks among the people, but also the quiet and leisurely atmosphere, it is a rare and refreshing experience.

  For a time, they forget the gloomy weather yesterday, which was windy and rainy, and the series of weird experiences from the highway to the hotel.

   "It feels completely different from the city."

  When the boat was halfway through, Lin Xingjie whispered. Her expression seemed a bit envious and fascinating.

  "If there are more people, it may be more lively..."

   "If there are too many people, won't it destroy the current environment?"

  Zhu Qingyue shook her head.

   "Yes. Although it is a selfish idea, I would rather have fewer people so that I can continue to play next time."

   "This is estimated to be impossible to achieve."

  A tourist on the same boat said with a smile.

"Our country's tourism industry will only become more and more developed. I have been here last time, and the atmosphere is obviously different from this time. Didn't you just put forward the term "Golden Week" this year? Wait a few more years Now that the people have spare money in their hands, and everyone ran out to play during holidays, I'm afraid it will become crowded with people everywhere."

   "Really..."

  Xu Xiangyang felt that he was right, so he made up his mind to cherish this rare opportunity to travel.

  In fact, what really made this trip precious and irreplaceable was mainly because it was the only time he went out in his three years of high school career, and he was with friends of the opposite **** who had only met for less than half a year.

If you regard this journey as the end of his life stage, it will undoubtedly witness his own change and growth: he is no longer the ordinary boy who shut himself in the room every day and study hard, he is no longer alone. One person, everything experienced this summer is destined to become an indelible memory in the youth years;

And if he regards this as a new starting point, in the near future, he will undoubtedly usher in a huge change in his life: whether it is the college entrance examination one year later, or the supernatural and real world that has long become precarious. limit.

  Even if he himself is just a psychic, as long as the two girls are by his side, Xu Xiangyang cannot lead an ordinary life.

  What he sees and feels now is just a harbinger of wind and rain; the next wave of times will be surging.

  That day will not be too far away, Xu Xiangyang has actually already had this faint premonition.

  Try not to contact other people, and want to ensure that the existing peaceful and quiet life is not broken-this approach has its limits after all. Whether it was Xingjie, Qingyue, or him, they were aware of this.

  Meng Zheng said that summer vacation is likely to be the last time for their young people to rest. Compared with this "prophecy", where to play during this period of time is not so important.

But……

  Xu Xiangyang quietly stretched out his hand, and took the hand of the long-haired girl beside him.

  As long as he can be with her...with them, no matter how the world changes, his heart will definitely stay where he is.

  ……

  Lin Xingjie seemed to be taken aback, but she quickly reacted. The corners of her lips were slightly cocked, her slender fingers grabbed her boyfriend's hand in turn, and the two clasped their fingers tightly.

  At this time, Xu Xiangyang felt his shoulder sink slightly.

   From the corner of his eye, he glanced to the side and found that the squad leader had deliberately put his arm over.

  This time it was his turn to startle.

  But after that, Zhu Qingyue did not make any excessive actions, just let her shoulders lean against the boy's shoulders, and looked down at the shiny water with a smile.

  Birds fluttering their wings flying across the treetops chirped, the dense willow shade on the shore was reflected on the rippling river, and the warm summer breeze could not take away the hot body temperature transmitted to each other by the teenagers and girls.

  The three people went on a blind date. Standing in the center, Xu Xiangyang’s heart was pounding. The sun falling above his head was so bright that he even made him dizzy.
