it's dark, coax me

The sky was gloomy, with layers of dark clouds pressing down, making people feel oppressed for no reason.

The rain was falling, knocking down the already yellow leaves on both sides of the road.

Gu Xiu drove in the rain.

This section is a winding mountain road, the mountain road is rugged, the road is a little narrow, and there are deep trees on both sides of the road. In such a rainy weather, walking alone on the mountain road in the rain, it seems more and more lonely.

The raindrops fell on the windshield, making Gu Xiu feel a little irritable.

He turned on the music, but the soothing music didn't ease his mood.

He lowered the car window slightly and opened a gap to let the damp and cold air outside into the car, then took a cigarette and lit it, and took a deep breath.

Gu Xiu's patience was almost exhausted, if the map hadn't told him that he was not far from his destination, he would have turned around and headed back.

At this moment, the voice of the navigation sounded, "Turn right at the intersection ahead and enter the east entrance of Youling Village Road."

Gu Xiu followed the navigation and turned right, Xin Dao said that the person who named this village is really a genius for naming, it would be a pity not to write supernatural novels.

After turning into a fork, the road narrowed again. After walking for a while, the asphalt road turned into a cement road, and then turned into a dirt road with potholes.

The car was running on the road, shaking and shaking, and the muddy puddles on the road were driven by the wheels, and the water splashed everywhere.

When the vehicle drove through a puddle again, it suddenly turned off without warning, and there was no response when it was hit again.

Gu Xiu looked down from the car window, half of the wheel was submerged in the water, the puddle was obviously not shallow, maybe the engine was flooded.

He took another puff of his cigarette, deeply feeling that this broken place might offend him.

It was still raining outside, and he didn't even have an umbrella in the car, and the tow truck might not be able to catch up to this place in a while.

At this moment, Gu Xiu's cell phone rang.

He took out his mobile phone and looked, it was Xie Jie who sent the message.

He swiped his finger and clicked on the voice message from the other party.

Xie Jie smiled and asked: "How is it? Have you arrived? Is the scenery particularly good?"

Gu Xiu let out a 'huh', and casually recorded a short video and sent it over.

"Is it raining over there? It's raining so hard?"

Gu Xiu sneered, "That's right, look at the road. This is the beautiful vacation spot you told me about, a fairyland away from the hustle and bustle... You actually want to lure me to the deep mountains and old forests to sell me?"

Xie Jie was obviously a little embarrassed, "It wasn't like this when I went last time, maybe the road was under construction, are you almost there now?"

"It's almost there? I can't make it. The car has broken down. Maybe the engine is flooded."

"Is it still far away?"

Gu Xiu clicked on the map, and the navigation said: "The distance to the destination is eight kilometers."

When Xie Jie heard that the distance was not far away, he breathed a sigh of relief, "It's okay, you can find Zhou Xing, I sent you his phone number before. Forget it, you probably didn't save it, so I'll send it to you again."

Xie Jie's hands were fast, and he sent a string of phone numbers very quickly.

Gu Xiu doesn't really like to deal with people, and he doesn't really want to bother them. Besides, they run a farmhouse, so they don't necessarily care about him.

But he didn't have any better way now, so after hesitating, he tried to dial this series of numbers.

The phone was connected soon.

"Hello."

The other party's voice was low and pleasant to the ear.

But Gu Xiu didn't know how to introduce himself for a while. The main thing was that Xie Jie contacted him before, and after contacting him, he sent him an address and phone number, saying that everything was arranged for him, and he could just go directly.

He was upset, he really listened to Xie Jie's words and drove over directly, only now remembered that he hadn't contacted the other party beforehand, and the other party didn't know if he knew his name now.

Gu Xiu was silent for a moment before he said: "I'm Gu Xiu, Xie Jie said that he made an appointment for me to stay with you for the next period of time, but my car broke down about eight kilometers away from you, can you come and pick me up? "

The other party agreed without any hesitation, and asked at the same time, "Where are you exactly?"

Gu Xiu glanced at the navigation, and it took a while before he reported a place name.

"Okay, I'll be there soon."

After hanging up the phone, Gu Xiu took the phone, thinking that it's no wonder that Xie Jie asked him to find this person, at least this week's trip sounds reliable.

The tone was calm, and the service attitude was good. He didn't use the weather as an excuse, and he didn't say a word of nonsense. I have to say that this made Gu Xiu feel better.

He extinguished the cigarette in his hand, and once again looked at the rain that was still falling outside.

At this moment, his cell phone rang again, and this time Xie Jie called directly.

Gu Xiu casually tapped the answer.

Xie Jie asked, "Have you contacted him?"

"Ah."

Xie Jie was afraid that Gu Xiu would not even make a phone call, so he thought it was impossible, so he asked Gu Xiu's location first, and if he couldn't, he called Zhou Xing on Gu Xiu's behalf.

He relaxed, and there was a little smile in his tone, "I know you don't want to deal with people. Zhou Xing doesn't talk much, and he is usually taciturn, so he won't disturb you. Just take a good rest and relax for a while. Don't read the comments on the Internet anymore, and don't reply, just let me handle the follow-up matters."

Gu Xiu lowered his head, and answered after a while.

Xie Jie explained a few more words before hanging up the phone.

Gu Xiu put the phone aside and lit another cigarette.

Xie Jie didn't know that he couldn't watch it even if he wanted to.

Maybe he should tell Xie Jie in advance, let him be mentally prepared, and think about finding another family.

The relationship between Xie Jie and Gu Xiu should be regarded as friends and partners.

Xie Jie's identity is similar to Gu Xiu's editor and manager.

He was only responsible to Gu Xiu. Gu Xiu was able to stand out among the writers, and he had an inseparable relationship with Xie Jie.

Gu Xiu was impatient to take care of other things. It can be said that he left all other things to Xie Jie except writing.

Xie Jie helped him operate, helped him get high royalties, and also got a generous commission from it. This is a win-win strategy to a certain extent.

So far, the two have been working together for several years, and they are generally quite happy. Gu Xiu has no intention of changing people, but some things are always unexpected, as if no one would have thought that his condition would still persist. Same day as relapse.

Gu Xiu's thoughts wandered aimlessly, and soon he realized something was wrong.

That feeling came again...

Gu Xiu obviously felt that his emotions were becoming more and more out of control. He lowered the window of the car to the lowest level, and the damp cold wind was blowing in his face. He subconsciously pinched his fingers, forcing himself to divert his attention and look to place.

The rain cast a faint gray shade on everything.

There are some trees near the road, and there are patches of crops in the distance.

At this time, under the washing of the rain, they trembled and swayed slightly.

Gu Xiu suddenly saw a few clumps of crops in the distance, and the range of movement was obviously different from the others. It felt like someone was hiding inside.

Immediately afterwards, Gu Xiu found something in those clumps of crops rushing towards him.

Their speed was unbelievably fast, forming several winding traces in the crop field, as if there were a few people hiding in them, running fast in their direction.

Gu Xiu suddenly raised the window and locked the door.

He lowered his head, his whole hand trembling slightly, at this moment, the voices of countless people shouted in his ears, and there was an explosion-like pain in his head.

Then there was the sound of snoring water, he felt as if he had sunk into the deep sea, his ears were filled with water, he could no longer hear those noises, but at the same time, the sound of rain outside followed Disappear.

He seems to have left this world and entered another time and space.

At this moment, there were a few "dong dong" sounds on the glass window.

Gu Xiu's back stiffened, and his whole body was extremely nervous.

This is an illusion, he knows it should be an illusion...

But how could the hallucination be so close to him, feel so real...

He lowered his head and repeatedly pinched his palm with his nails. After a while, he made up his mind, and suddenly raised his head to look in the direction of the sound.

He saw a face through the water stains on the car window, a man's face.

The man has handsome eyebrows, sharp edges and corners on his face, and a very tough face.

He has a short-shaved head, black half-sleeves, and slacks. He is bending slightly, holding an umbrella with one hand, and knocking on the window glass with the other.

Gu Xiu's gaze was fixed on the man's arm knocking on the car window. His arm was muscular and smooth, and he could see every detail on it clearly.

He finally came back to his senses and remembered the phone call he had made earlier, and the person who said 'he'll be there soon' - Zhou Xing.
