Invade the World

  Chapter 221 The figure outside the tent

  Unknowingly, the pointer of the watch was already pointing to eleven o'clock, and the night was getting darker, and the sky above the forest was like a black velvet curtain hanging down, adorned with sparkling diamond-like stars.

  The fine and smashing sound in the camp has never been known when it has been reduced, and only the quiet wind around the house is left.

  The bonfire ceased to burn, and only a few strands of flames remained on the black coke still burning stubbornly. Occasionally, the broken charcoal fire fell, splashing a dim dust.

  People gathered at the camping site, most of them went to rest in the tents.

Xu Xiangyang turned on the flashlight and placed it on the ground to illuminate a small space; the two girls followed suit, and the beams of light emitted from the three flashlights were intertwined into a halo, like a group of dazzling, cold-colored ones that don’t need to be burnt. The bonfire is quite interesting.

  After a few jokes, the atmosphere of the conversation was obviously relaxed, even if they were discussing serious topics involving Xu Xiangyang’s family, life and death, and past.

  There is nothing to talk about among good friends. The relationship between the three people has long surpassed the stage of "talking shallow and deep"; what's more, they are a group of sensitive young people who have long been accustomed to cautiously testing each other.

  The boys and girls chatted around the artificial “bonfire” on the ground for a while, when suddenly a gust of wind blew over the camp, Xu Xiangyang felt a bit chilly.

  Since the beginning of summer, this kind of experience is quite rare, and the natural forest is really different from the city.

   Seeing his girlfriend and the squad leader both shivered at the same time, he knew it was getting late, clapped his hands and reminded:

   "Well, we should sleep."

   "Hmm~"

   Lin Xingjie swayed back and forth on the chair, seeming a little reluctant.

  "Don’t talk for a while? So soon I will fall asleep."

  Xu Xiangyang can understand her mood. This is not the same as staying in a home that you’ve been accustomed to a long time ago. The unfamiliar environment will bring fresh experiences:

Sitting in a completely open outdoor space at night when the night is dark and Lin Tao bursts, I feel that the world is vast and quiet, and even my mood has become lofty and comfortable. In this case, I still feel very comfortable talking with my friends and talking about the world. interesting. But……

   "Look at you, obviously your eyelids are about to fight."

  Xu Xiangyang amusedly touched her long hair that fell from the sides of her shoulders.

  It is Zhu Qingyue, who is sitting opposite, very energetic. I heard that she goes to bed at a fixed time every day, and her schedule is like a robot. The purpose is to ensure ample experience and coping with learning. Unlike Xingjie, every time she knows that she is going out to play the next day, she tends to get over-excited. This was the case during the previous sports meeting, and it turned out that she slept all the way with her arm in her arms; plus there was a lot of noise yesterday...

   "Hurry up and get ready to go to bed," the squad leader said, "I will continue to climb the mountain tomorrow. I heard that there are temples that can be visited on the mountain."

"Yeah." Xu Xiangyang nodded, "In addition, I have asked the tour guide. There is a place to play in the water on this mountain. Along the mountain road, there is a reservoir not far away, and there is a lake downstream of the reservoir. There are streams, and usually few people go there, so you can have a good time."

  "——Play in the water!"

  Rapunzel's eyes lit up, and her whole body became energetic.

   "So, remember to take a good rest tonight."

  Her reaction was exactly what Xu Xiangyang expected, he reminded with a smile.

After hearing this, the girl quickly put away the chair and opened the curtain door of the tent behind her.

   "You all go to bed early! Remember to recharge your energy."

  After a while, Lin Xingjie’s dull voice came from the tent.

  He and the squad leader looked at each other and smiled, and each went back to the tent and started to clean up the beds.

  ……

  Before going to bed, Xu Xiangyang went to the management office and went to a bathroom. When he came back, he found that the tent opposite had opened a gap and stretched out a white tender hand from it, beckoning him.

   "Hey, Xu Xiangyang... come here a minute."

  The voice of the girlfriend is soft and soft, which is imaginative.

  He was stunned.

  At that moment, a little bit of strange thought suddenly appeared in his mind, and some emotions in his heart were surging restlessly, like a chick who had just pecked the eggshell and stuck out its small head.

  Xu Xiangyang swallowed, and quietly moved closer, and saw the long-haired girl poking her head out from the inside, raising a small face, with expectation in her eyes.

  It seemed that she didn’t want to disturb the rest of the squad leader who was in another tent. Lin Xingjie deliberately lowered her voice and whispered:

   "Xiangyang, have you forgotten something?"

  Xu Xiangyang's thoughts just now were a little confused, and he couldn't react immediately. After he calmed down and thought about it for a moment, he said tentatively:

"……Good night?"

Lin Xingjie nodded in satisfaction.

"Good night."

  She retracted her head again.

   Say goodnight to each other before going to bed. This is the rule they made when they were at home, and they naturally can’t let it go today.

  Xu Xiangyang sighed, and couldn't help knocking on his head.

  Since becoming a couple, intimate contact with Xingjie has become the norm, and no one resists... Therefore, he is now more likely to think about men and women than when he was restrained in the past.

  However, this should not be a problem.

  Xu Xiangyang cheered himself up and clenched his fists.

  With the feelings of the two of them, no matter where they go, it should be a matter of course, right?

  Don’t worry too much, don’t worry too much. He feels that as long as they are not affected by external factors, open their minds to each other, and are driven by emotions, both parties can accept the results.

  Everything just goes with the flow.

  *

  In the middle of the night, Xu Xiangyang suddenly opened his eyes.

  What caught his eyes was the dim night. He felt a bit dry in his throat. After straightening up in a daze, he picked up the water bottle next to him and poured a few mouthfuls of cold water into his throat.

  The sky blue tent fabric blocks the light and wind from the outside. The inside of the tent is dim and quiet, and the air is stuffy.

  I haven't slept very well these days.

   In the evening, he secretly complained that his girlfriend was easily over-excited, and unable to fall asleep at night led to sleepiness the next day; now it seems...Is it possible that he is the person who is “easy to be over-excited”?

  Xu Xiangyang carefully recalled the thoughts that flashed through his mind tonight before going to bed, and the scheduled plan to go to the nearby water with the two girls tomorrow——

  Thinking about it, he suddenly felt so hot, and the air in the tent seemed to become more dull; when he listened carefully, Xu Xiangyang felt that his voice became thicker.

   So hot, so hot.

  Xu Xiangyang slapped the wind and found it was useless, but the lingering sleepiness in his brain was wiped out.

  He was wondering if he should go for a walk, relax, at least open the tent curtain and breathe in the fresh air from the outside world...

   At this moment, he was slightly startled.

  Xu Xiangyang's gaze slowly fell to a corner outside the tent, with a black shadow close to it.

  At first, he thought it was the original decorations on the tent, but after careful identification, he discovered that it was indeed...

   is a figure.

  He (she) clung to the tent tightly, motionless.

  Along with the weight squeeze, the fabric of the tent sank slightly, protruding a sharp outline.

  The chaotic thoughts just now were quickly thrown out of his mind, and he couldn't help holding his breath.

  Although he couldn't see his face clearly, his figure was definitely the appearance of a stranger, which made Xu Xiangyang's mood a little nervous.

  Fortunately, he almost got used to the strange things happening around him, so he didn't mess up his hands and feet, and even quietly tightened the bottle cap in his hand, paying attention not to make any noise.

  After all, Lin Xingjie and Zhu Qingyue are nearby, so if he is afraid of danger, it must not be counted.

  So, who is this? Doesn't sleep in the middle of the night and is scary lying on someone's tent?

  He had only seen this kind of scene before in horror movies.

  Xu Xiangyang suddenly realized that he is still sitting up until now. If someone were to stick outside the tent to observe the situation inside, he should have noticed that he was awake.

  He thought for a while, and cleared his throat violently, coughing deliberately.

  Of course, Xu Xiangyang can detect that it is not a ghost (evil spirit) standing there-it may be a sigh of relief for ordinary people, but for Xu Xiangyang, it is more troublesome than haunting.

  I also blamed him for watching so many horror movies, and he was almost full of scenes of "Knife murderers breaking into the camp and killing a group of teenagers"...

  The other party did not respond.

The dark outline of the human figure is still tightly attached to the tent, as if a pair of evil eyes are peeping through the airtight material; the malicious sight penetrates the barriers, and falls coldly. On him.

  Should he yell now, wake up Xingjie and Qingyue first?

  Xu Xiangyang thinks this way, and does it like this——

  But just as he was about to open his mouth, the contours of the tent embossed on the inside slowly disappeared and returned to its original position; the figure outside the tent straightened up again and no longer lay down.

  Xu Xiangyang narrowed his eyes.

   At this moment, he heard a noise from nearby, and it seemed that one of the two companions had awakened. He didn't hesitate anymore, and neatly picked up the flashlight next to the pillow, and simply pressed the switch.

  The dazzling beam of light pierced through the blue rain-proof tarp, and shone the shadow of this guy on the tent.

  The opponent turned around and ran without saying a word, leaving behind a series of rapid footsteps.

  Xu Xiangyang picked up the flashlight and climbed outside, but when he left the tent and got up, he found that the figure had disappeared without a trace.

  The beam of light in his hand plunged straight into the vast darkness ahead; leaving the campsite was a rugged forest, and the faint light from the flashlight was like a stone thrown into the sea, without splashing any waves.

  ...It seems that I really don’t want to sleep well tonight.

  *

  The next morning, Xu Xiangyang conveyed this to his companions.

   "Strange, I don't seem to feel it."

  Zhu Qingyue put down her backpack

   "So, the other person is a human?"

"right."

  He nodded.

   "Last night, I should have the evil spirits under my control to watch the night nearby, but they didn't give a reminder in the middle."

"Yes indeed."

  Xu Xiangyang suddenly.

   "So, people are still human, but not ordinary people."

  "Why does this kind of person appear in such a place? He even ran out of your tent on purpose? Does he know you?"

  Faced with Lin Xingjie’s series of questions, he could only shook his head.

"I don't know, because I didn't see the other person's front face clearly. But..." Xu Xiangyang stroked his chin, thoughtfully, "I think that person seems to be ill-intentioned, but I don't know why I wake up. Just ran away."

"Maybe it's a mountain spirit, a wild monster, or a kind of female monster." The squad leader joked next to him, "I was going to go into the tent to **** your yang energy. I didn't expect you to be asleep, so I'm embarrassed... "

  That was a fluke, Xu Xiangyang thought, otherwise he might be crushed to death by Xiao An along with the female fairy.

   "You are here."

  At this time, the tour guide came over to say hello from a distance. The background behind him was the camping ground that had risen up again in the early morning. This time a group of people are ready to leave, and the camp is about to welcome the next group of guests.

  "Are everything packed? We will set off after half an hour. There are temples and other camps on the mountain. This time we settled down and rested, and we went down directly from the other side..."

   "We won't go."

  Xu Xiangyang interrupted him.

   "Did you tell me yesterday? We are going to play near the reservoir."

"But……"

  The tour guide looked a little hesitant. Probably because the three of them seem to be very young, not to mention that he has an obligation to take care of the tourists in the group at work. As adults, it is impossible to rest assured that a group of high school students wander around in the mountains.

   "It doesn't matter, Xiao Wang, you can rest assured to take other tourists away first."

  At this moment, a curly-haired man with a camera on his chest walked up to them and said with a smile.

   "I can be with them. I also grew up locally and I am familiar with this mountain."

  "This..." The tour guide was not good at sticking to it, so he nodded, "Okay."

"thanks."

After waiting for the tour guide to leave, Xu Xiangyang politely thanked him.

   "You're welcome, you saved my life, it's just a matter of effort."

  Just now, the two girls had already prepared their luggage. Xu Xiangyang opened the map and after confirming the location of the reservoir, he frowned and looked at reporter Wei.

  "...You are not really going to go with us, are you?"

  Mr. reporter was taken aback for a while, suddenly a little bit dumbfounded. He could see the blatant rejection on the young man's face, and he could better understand the reason. After all, he came from that age and had also tasted the young first love.

  "Don't get me wrong, don't get me wrong," he waved his hand quickly, "just to find a reason to help. I have other places to go. You guys are going to the reservoir? That's different from me."

In the eyes of reporter Wei, the young man’s performance that night was undoubtedly impressive; the understatement stopped the evil spirit’s ability, and made him, who had a little understanding of the other world, felt that the opponent was not only powerful. , The body is full of mystery.

   But now, the other party naturally shows the side of adolescent boys, which makes him feel a little close.

   "I wish you all a good time."

  After saying these words, reporter Wei hurriedly left, lest the young superpower should be really careful and worry about himself.
