Urban Oddities: The Seven-Day Cycle

The van was parked by the river, and several large boxes were carried out one after another. Those people were extremely vigilant, and there were two people who were on guard. The whole process went on quickly and quietly. Suddenly, the guard said: "Wait a minute. !"

Those who were moving and lifting stopped immediately, and followed the sentinel's line of sight, looking at Lin Zi in unison.

It was dark in the woods, they looked at it for a while, and wondered, "Is anyone there?"

"I don't know." The sentry was still staring in that direction, "I saw a little light just now."

"Light?"

Everyone looked over in unison again.

The leader turned on the flashlight and took the lead to stride towards the woods. Several younger brothers followed him, and everyone used the flashlight to shine on the forest. After turning around for a long time, the leader threw away the cigarette butt and said, "Did you read it wrong? No one ah."

The sentry didn't speak, he was smoking a cigarette, but his eyes kept staring in that direction.

"Hey, you guys, hurry up!" The leader urged.

Xu Hua covered Ao Lie's mouth, poked his head over his eyes, and said, "It's okay, Xiao Lie, don't smoke here."

Ao Lie pushed Xu Hua's hand away, panting: "Okay, I almost forgot."

"Xiao Lie, smoking is harmful to your health, you have to quit."

"My dad still smokes the same thing."

"That's your dad, you are you."

Ao Lie snorted and said, "My dad is in charge of my mother, so you will take care of me?"

Xu Hua hummed expressionlessly, touched Ao Lie's head, and before he could react, he suddenly dragged him and ran a few steps closer. Under the cover of the trees, they saw those people getting out of the car again. A rubber boat was pulled out of the water, and two people sat on it with a big box. The rubber boat rowed to the center of the small river, let go, and the big box sank into the water. The moonlight was clear, but the small river was pitch black. After the box sank, it was almost In an instant, it was submerged and disappeared.

The rubber boat rowed back to the shore again, continued to carry the boxes, went back and forth several times, and finally sank all the boxes into the river.

Those people stood on the bank for a while, and after confirming that there was no movement, they got into the car and left the creek quickly.

The headlights of the car faded away and disappeared into the night, the surroundings were completely silent, and the two waited for more than ten minutes before sneaking out of the woods and running to the river, Ao Lie dialed the water and said, "Let's go down and have a look? "

"Well, go down and have a look."

Ao Lie hurriedly took off his clothes, Xu Hua stopped him in time, and dragged him into the forest. The two of them stripped naked, and hid their clothes and shoes in the tree hole. When they transformed into humans, they wore ordinary clothes. It would definitely explode, they had to rush back to the town, but they were stripped clean, and just about to jump into the river, a car light flashed by, Xu Hua quickly ran back to the forest with Ao Lie, and another van stopped by the bank , When he saw the person clearly, Ao Lie almost jumped up.

Zhou Yongling got out of the car with a bunch of banknotes, and two accompanying white coats. Xu Hua grabbed Ao Lie who was about to go out, and reminded: "Xiao Lie, don't worry, watch first."

Ao Lie can't be in a hurry, he has already seen the number of reposts of the Koi Daxian, there are hundreds of them, all of them are living lives, and Zhou Yongling, as the sister of the little Taoist priest, has an indifferent appearance, not only half-spoken It's true and half false, and they deliberately avoided them. It's not easy to arrest people in the ancestral hall. Now that Zhou Yongling appeared in front of him, Ao Lie really wanted to pounce on her and reward her with a few fists. He couldn't believe that she didn't tell the truth under torture!

Xu Hua held Ao Lie in his arms, and gently carried him on his back. Prince Long was impatient and always went straight. He was really like his father, but compared to his father, Prince Long seemed to be inexperienced In Xu Hua's eyes, Ao Lie is straightforward and cute. Xu Hua tightened his arms unknowingly, and said softly: "Xiao Lie, since Zhou Yongling will hide from us, it means that she has a secret in her heart. If she is arrested now, she will It may not be possible to tell the truth, her words cannot be trusted, we have to find out the clues by ourselves, if we push too quickly, we will delay things, we are running out of time, and we cannot afford to delay."

Ao Lie finally let go of his clenched fist, and hummed in a muffled voice.

Zhou Yongling made a circle with big stones, put the money inside and lit it, the fire illuminated her face, she murmured, her voice was very soft, but Ao Lie and Xu Hua still heard clearly.

Zhou Yongling said: "Yongfei, all this money is given to you, make a fortune, live well."

Hearing this, Ao Lie was stunned. Before, they had speculated that Zhou Yongfei might have met an accident and disappeared, but he didn't expect that Zhou Yongfei would die, and he seemed to have died in the river?

Ao Lie expected Zhou Yongling to say something to herself, but the woman fell silent, and the white coat seemed to be sent simply to accompany her, so she stood silently by the side, and Zhou Yongling did not speak to them during the period.

"It seems that Zhou Yongfei has died." Xu Hua pondered.

"Perhaps he was drowned by the water, and then he lingered and cast a curse to make everyone drown with him?"

Xu Hua shook his head: "I don't think it's that simple."

Xiaoyao Taoist priest is dead, Zhou Yongling knows it, but she didn't look sad at all when she burned the paper, and his brother died, just say it directly, why lie and say that he is missing, and still avoid them?

Could it be that the sister and brother are deeply in love, and the elder sister doesn't believe that the younger brother is dead, so she lies to herself?

Ao Lie also felt that things were very strange. Zhou Yongling was guarding a secret, and the key to the secret was her younger brother Zhou Yongfei. What made him even more puzzled was that the seven-day cycle was a soul-eating curse. Is this seven-day cycle over?

While thinking, Ao Lie fished out his phone. If the Koi Daxian can delete it, it means that the curse has been lifted. He has to confirm it. Xu Hua grabbed his hand and shook his head. Only then did Ao Lie come back to his senses. They were in the dark forest, and when the phone lighted up, didn't they reveal their location?Ao Lie rubbed his nose and sighed, "Xu Hua, it's good to have you here."

Xu Hua said: "You're welcome, I will always follow you."

Ao Lie: "Take care of me all the time, right?"

Xu Hua: "Yes."

Ao Lie asked a lot: "How long has it been?"

Xu Hua: "Forever."

Ao Lie: "..."

Zhou Yongling burned the banknotes for more than an hour. After burning, she stared at the river in a daze, and got into the car under the urging of her white coat.

"Xiao Lie, come on, turn off your phone and put on your clothes." Xu Hua burrowed into the woods, but ran in the opposite direction.

"It's a mistake, she burned the paper over there, and the car is far away, can we go over and have a look?"

Xu Hua explained: "There's nothing to see on the shore, we're going into the water, but that's the main road, maybe there's a third or fourth car, it's not good to be seen, we have to run farther, and then swim across .”

Xu Hua's strong body swayed in front of his eyes. While running, Xu Hua sent a message to Luo Yunsong. Suddenly someone touched his back, and Xu Hua shivered sensitively.

Ao Lie said: "It's okay, I just touched it, your hand feels good, it's quite slippery."

Xu Hua said: "Thank you, your touch is also good."

Ao Lie: "..."

Xu Hua said solemnly: "If you like it, we can touch it carefully when we get back to the room."

Ao Lie: "..." Hey wait, that doesn't seem right? !

Xu Hua ran to a remote place to hide his clothes, and turned off his cell phone. Xu Hua was more considerate in his work, so he was afraid that it would be bad if the cell phone rang suddenly when they went into the water.

After finishing the preparation, Xu Hua looked around. It was pitch black and there was no one around. He ran lightly to the river, turned over and got into the water, until he swam to the middle of the river, his figure stretched and deformed rapidly. The long shadow of the dragon meanders in the river, and suddenly a silver light shines in front of his eyes. He turned his head to look, and quickly patted Ao Lie with his tail fin: "Turn off the lights! Turn off the lights!"

Ao Lie came back to his senses, and immediately withdrew his breath, the silver light dimmed, and the two dragons went deep along the river.

Suddenly there was a heavy rainstorm outside, and there was a crackling sound. Yang Xiaoji closed the window, sat back beside Luo Yunsong's bed, and yawned. He usually wakes up early and goes to bed early at night. Today he experienced a series of The physical work, has long been exhausted.

Luo Yunsong took a sip of coffee and said with a smile: "If you can't, then don't hold on and go to sleep?"

Yang Xiaoji shook his head: "Who said I'm sleepy? I'm very awake!"

"Ha." Luo Yunsong looked out of the window, wondering, "It's really strange, why is it raining suddenly?"

Yang Xiaoji smiled and said: "This is a dragon haunting, which attracted the thunder cloud."

A flash of lightning flashed, followed by muffled thunder. The two dragons were happily swimming in the river at this time, completely unaware of the change in the weather outside.

Yang Xiaoji tried his best to sit on the side, but ended up sitting up and fell asleep unknowingly. Luo Yunsong put on a piece of clothing for him, and continued to hammer out the plan. Every day, he huddled on the quilt and took the initiative to act as a table. After Luo Yunsong typed the last word, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. He rubbed his eyes and found Tian Tian's tail wagging.

Luo Yunsong touched it and said with a smile, "What's the matter? Are you hungry?"

"Wow!" Tian Tian still wagged his tail.

Luo Yunsong turned his head and saw that the phone was on. Luo Yunsong clicked on it and found that it was a message from Wanjun.

Wan Jun: The Koi Daxian still cannot be deleted!

Luo Yunsong: I tried it too, and was charged by the charger.

Wan Jun: You got charged for a while, it was fine, but when I clicked delete, my phone exploded! QAQ Luo Yunsong: Σ(°△°|||)

Wan Jun: Lei Ting said that the effect of the seven-day cycle is still there, and that Xiaoyao Taoist is definitely still alive!

Ao Lie found something among the aquatic plants. He swam over, pushed aside the aquatic plants, and shouted happily: "Xu Hua! Xu Hua!"

Xu Huayou was on the other side and didn't hear him shouting. Ao Lie twisted his body, wrapped his tail around, and pulled Xu Hua over forcefully.

"Xu Hua! The box is here! It was rushed here!"

Xu Hua leaned his head and looked, it was true, he wanted to say that we dragged the box out, but when he raised his head, the dragon horn touched Ao Lie's chin, the dragon scales were hard, but the stomach and chin were the least covered areas, Ao Lie Being pushed by him, although the skin was not broken, it was red and swollen. Seeing that Ao Lie was dizzy and was about to be washed away by the river, Xu Hua quickly wrapped his body around him, and the two dragons entangled and sank to the bottom of the river, causing a commotion. Silt, Ao Lie shook his head, when he raised his head, he suddenly froze.

"Xiao Lie? Does it hurt?" Xu Hua tried his best to lick his chin, Ao Lie was tickled by him, moved his head, pointed to the front and asked him to look, Xu Hua looked over, and as far as he could see, was a place An area full of lotus flowers.

On the bank of the river, there is a sunken place, forming a natural lotus pond, with small fish swimming around, Xu Hua took a few glances, but still didn't understand what's so interesting.

"There's a hole there!" Ao Lie reminded.

Xu Hua looked carefully again, but still didn't see it. Seeing Ao Lie in a daze, he licked him a few more times, and urged Ao Lie to carry the box with him. The box got stuck in the mud. There was a big movement, so I had to use my claws to pull it. I don’t know what was in the box. It was very heavy, and it was still a combination lock. Ink, the water was suddenly cloudy, which made the two dragons suffer. The ink flowed down the water and slapped their faces directly. Ao Lie happened to take a sip, and immediately vomited. Xu Hua dragged him to the upper reaches of the box, tail Sweep it on his stomach to make Ao Lie feel better. After the ink gushes out, it is immediately diluted by the water flow, and it lasts for more than ten minutes without end. The color gradually becomes thinner and finally becomes less. After vomiting cleanly, she lay wilted under Xu Hua's body, floating along the current.

Xu Hua shook him: "Dizzy?"

Ao Lie shook his head, muffled: "The tail is a little cramp."

Xu Hua: "..."

"Hey...it smells so bad, what's in the box?" Ao Lie poked his head and looked, the cracks in the box were full of big rocks, Ao Lie opened it again, revealing an indescribable The thing, like a raised quilt, didn't know what it was. He looked at it for a while but didn't understand it. When he pulled the cloth away, Ao Lie's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly felt chills down his spine. It's a huddled little girl!

"I understand, these boxes are used to hold corpses in Shenjiang." Xu Hua calmly analyzed, "The living corpses Luo Yunsong mentioned should be them!"

Ao Lie circled around, dug out another box, scratched it open, along with a stream of ink gushed out, and at the same time an old woman's head appeared, Ao Lie hurriedly chased after it, fished the head back, unexpectedly Just as he was finishing it, something popped out of the box over there, not to be outdone. He took a closer look, and it turned out that a little girl had floated out!The little girl drifted along the current for a few meters and was entangled in water plants. Ao Lie simply dug a big hole, intending to bury her in it. The corpse's clothes were turned upside down on his head. When Ao Lie folded the clothes off, he suddenly yelled: " Head, head! Where's her head?"

"Here! Hey... oh..." Xu Hua lost his grip all of a sudden, the head floated out along the current, hit the bank of the river, and rolled into the lotus pond. Xu Hua chased after her and took her I took it out from the lotus bushes, and the other box contained a man who also had a severed head. The two dragons spent a lot of effort and finally buried them. Ao Lie swam around the bottom of the river and said: " I don't know if there are any more."

"There should be, but I don't know where it was washed." Xu Hua looked up and said, "It's almost dawn, we have to get out."

Xu Hua moved quickly, seeing that he was about to go ashore, Ao Lie was anxious, and bit Xu Hua's tail: "Wait! Go there and have a look!"

"Hiss... the lotus pond?"

"Ok!"

As Ao Lie said, he twisted his body and swam towards the lotus pond. Xu Hua had no choice but to catch up. When he got closer and pushed aside the lotus bushes, Xu Hua finally understood what Ao Lie was talking about.

In the corner of the lotus pond, there was a big hole, which was blocked by lotus stems and aquatic plants. If you don't look carefully, you can't see it. Ao Lie poked his head in and looked. The hole was very deep, and he didn't know where it was going. Said: "Shall we go in and have a look?"

Xu Hua: "Okay, you come out first."

Although the big hole is big, it can only hold the size of a dragon. Ao Lie moved aside, Xu Hua got in, and soon only the tail fin was left outside. After clapping a few times, Xu Hua said: "This is a dragon. The hole is so deep, Xiaolie, follow me closely."

Xu Hua swam forward quickly, the cave was full of aquatic plants, groups of small fish were frightened, and they swam out in a panic. Ao Lie opened his mouth wide and ate a delicious meal. Xu Hua reminded: "Little fish!" Lie, don't eat indiscriminately, if you want fish, I'll cook it for you when I go back."

"Pine nut fish?"

"can."

"steamed fish?"

"can."

Ao Lie bit Xu Hua's tail fin and hummed: "I don't want to eat fish anymore, I want to eat you, can you make it for me?"

Xu Hua said briskly: "Okay, you can go back and wash off, and lie down."

Ao Lie: "..." Hey, something seems wrong, right? !

The hole became narrower and narrower as it moved forward, halfway through the swim, Xu Hua stopped suddenly, Ao Lie couldn't brake in time, bumped into his tail, and said depressedly: "Let's go?"

"Xiao Lie, the water flow here seems a bit strange, why does it all go into the cave?"

Ao Lie carefully sensed that the water flow was indeed going deep. After they stopped, a small piece of debris floated in front of them. Before Ao Lie could see it clearly, the thing went in the direction of Xu Hua. Ao Lie was about to remind Xu Hua to take a look, but Xu Hua raised his paw and grabbed the thing into his hand.

"What is it?"

"I don't know...it seems...a piece of rag?" Xu Hua rubbed it, and the cloth quickly shattered and drifted away along the current.

Ao Lie joked: "Maybe those Shen Jiang's corpses got stuck somewhere, a piece of cloth fell off?"

After finishing speaking, he himself felt sick first, if something floated over, they wouldn't even have to avoid it.

Xu Hua touched his head with his tail fin, telling him not to think about it. At the end of the corridor, it turned sharply downward at [-] degrees. Xu Hua lay on the side, looking down, Ao Lie was blocked by him, looking Not seeing the situation, biting his tail fin and urging: "Hurry up!"

"There's a downward hole here, it's so deep, do you still want to go in?"

"Enter!"

So Xu Hua dived and swam into the deep hole. After swimming seven or eight meters, there was another turning point. Xu Hua continued to turn in, and found that the corridor was U-shaped. After a short time upstream, the space opened up. Xu Hua came out of the water, and Ao Lie came out after that, looked around, and said in surprise, "It's actually an underground lake?"
