Phoenix Feather

The straw hat was crushed, leaving a distinct tire mark on it.

When the fat man saw the straw hat, it was like seeing an enemy. He stomped on it a few times and still couldn't get rid of his hatred. He touched his body and wanted to find a lighter to burn the straw hat.

However, I didn't find it.

The woman in the orange skirt poked her head out of the car window and asked the fat man, "Boss Wang, what are you doing?"

"It's nothing." The fat man kicked the straw hat into the grass on the side of the road, walked back, got in the car, and closed the door.

The Benz drove away with a gust of wind, and the straw hat rolled out of the grass lightly.

……

Just as Xuanxuan and Yueyu turned into the eighth turn, a person rushed out from the diagonal thrust. If they hadn't reacted quickly, they probably would have collided.

With an instant glance, Xuanxuan saw clearly that the person was a child, and hastily stretched out his hand to grab him, barely holding him back.

looked down-

He actually knew him, the little boy selling straw hats.

"Where's your mother?" I searched around, but I couldn't find the woman with a red spot around her right eye.

The little boy dodged his eyes and faltered.

Noticing that the little boy seemed to be scooping something with his hands hidden behind his back, Xuanxuan was a little curious, so he winked at Yueyu.

Yue Yu understood, she staggered slightly and took a step to the side, glanced out of the corner of her eye, and saw the little boy holding a ball in his hand, like a straw hat, a crumpled straw hat.

straw hat?

The little boy hid the straw hat behind his back, obviously not wanting to be seen... Xuanxuan was a little puzzled, what's so shady about this straw hat?

"Where's your mother?" Xuan Xuan asked again.

The little boy moved to the side, trying to get through the gap next to it.

Xuan Xuan stopped him, smiling kindly: "My straw hat is gone, I want to buy another one, where is your mother?"

The little boy shook his head, stared at the gap and wanted to run away sullenly.

He only took a step, but was stopped by Xuanxuan again.

"You sneaked out to play? Your mother will be worried, how about this, we will take you to find your mother, okay?"

The little boy was a little annoyed, "She's not my mother."

While Xuan Xuan and the two were in a daze, the little boy slipped away like a loach.

Xuanxuan wanted to chase, but Yueyu held him back, "Forget it."

Xuanxuan didn't know what to do, looking at the child like that, he might not be able to tell the truth if he caught up.

"It's so strange, I thought it was mother and child, but I didn't expect it to be."

Judging from the behavior of the middle-aged woman and the child at that time, they looked like a mother and child, and the little boy even called "Mom", saying that it was a big surprise that they were not mother and child.

Xuanxuan said: "Do you think that child is lying?"

Yue Yu said: "I wouldn't tell such a lie." Seeing that child's expression didn't look like a lie either.

This matter was quite strange, Xuanxuan always felt that the possibility of the child lying was extremely high, but the child had long since disappeared, and it was impossible to ask for clarification.

After leaving the eighth turn, the fat man was a little restless, always feeling that something was wrong, and nervously looked at the rearview mirror from time to time.

The woman in the orange skirt was called Cheng Ling. When she saw the fat man, she looked in the rearview mirror a few times, but she didn't see anything.

"Boss Wang, what are you looking at?" Cheng Ling couldn't help asking when the fat man looked in the rearview mirror for the tenth time.

The fat man opened his mouth and said after a while, "It seems that something is following us."

Cheng Ling deliberately opened the car window and looked back, "There's no one."

Although the fat man wasn't driving fast, he wasn't slow either. How could anyone keep up with such a speed.

"Maybe I was wrong." Although the fat man said so, he still looked in the rearview mirror every few minutes.

Cheng Ling was puzzled, not understanding why the fat man was nervous.

When I looked up, I suddenly saw something in the middle of the road ahead, like a little yellow dog.

Cheng Ling hurriedly patted the fat man's arm, "Boss Wang, there is a dog in front, be careful to bump into it."

squeak!The screeching brakes startled several birds in the tree.

Cheng Ling, who bumped his head against the car window, cursed in his heart: "Fat pig, you're courting death!"

Turning to look at the fat man, he saw his eyes wide open and his face turned pale. Cheng Ling was startled by him instead: "Boss Wang, are you alright?"

The fat man didn't answer, and stayed for a while, then suddenly opened the door and got out of the car.

In the middle of the road, a flattened straw hat was lying there alone, and two wheel marks formed a "ten".

The fat man stared at the straw hat like a ghost, he recognized it, it was the straw hat on the eighth bend!

Cheng Ling also got out of the car, and she couldn't help being surprised when she saw the straw hat in the middle of the road, "Why are there so many straw hats on this road?"

The fat man twitched his lips and said, "It's the same roof."

Cheng Ling didn't understand: "The same roof?"

"It's the straw hat, it's following...it's the straw hat at the eighth bend, it, it's chasing after it." The fat man waved his hands, speaking incoherently.

Cheng Ling laughed: "How is that possible?" Does the straw hat have legs? Even if it had legs, it is impossible to catch up with the Mercedes-Benz.

"That's the top, I'm sure I can't be wrong... I recognize that red mark." The fat man insisted that he was right.

Cheng Ling took a closer look, and sure enough, he saw a red mark on the brim of the hat. The shape looked like a small fish.

Cursing her lips, Cheng Ling was very disapproving of the fat man's frightened behavior. It was just a coincidence, and he didn't understand why the fat man was flustered.

The fat man picked up the straw hat and put it down, walked two steps and came back...

Cheng Ling was at a loss, not knowing what the fat man wanted to do.

The fat man picked up the straw hat again and asked Cheng Ling, "Do you have a lighter?"

Cheng Ling shook her head. She doesn't smoke, so naturally she doesn't carry a lighter. To her surprise, the fat man doesn't smoke either.

Fatty frowned.

Cheng Ling asked, "What do you want a lighter for?"

"Burn this straw hat." He can feel at ease after burning it.

Cheng Ling suggested: "Or, throw it into the water."

……

Seeing the straw hat drifting away with the current, the fat man finally felt relieved.

After such a fuss, the fat man didn't want to look at the beautiful scenery for a long time, but he couldn't show it too clearly in front of the beautiful woman, so he had to beat around the bush and say: "This is the tenth bend, and there are eight more bends ahead... In fact, the eighteenth bend is all Same thing, kind of boring, shall we continue or go back?"

Cheng Ling acted coquettishly: "Naturally, I will continue. I agreed to take me to visit the [-]th Bend Waterfall today. It's not good to give up halfway."

For the sake of face, the fat man had no choice but to bite the bullet and drive Cheng Ling to continue swimming through eighteen bends.

The straw hat thrown into the water seemed to have been washed away by the water, and it did not appear from the tenth to the fourteenth bend. The fat man settled down and gradually relaxed.

There is a waterside pavilion at the Fourteenth Bend. The name is meaningful, called Yueyin. There is a round boulder beside the waterside pavilion, and there are nine round holes in the boulder.

Cheng Ling saw the stone and thought about going down to have a look.Fatty parked the car aside and got out of the car with Cheng Ling.

The nine-hole boulder is made of granite, and the inside is hollowed out, and a stone beast is placed there.

This stone beast looks very strange, like a dragon or a four-legged snake, coiled into a ball, in a state of deep sleep.

Cheng Ling was curious: "Is this a four-legged snake or a hornless dragon?"

The fat man said: "This is a jiao. It is said that it is the guardian beast of Neptune Island. This kind of boulders cost 18 yuan and are scattered all over the island. When planning to develop Neptune Island, the developer originally wanted to demolish some of them. Round Rock, but every time before the construction started, the weather would suddenly become extremely bad. The violent wind and rain were considered to be mild, and the most serious one even had a tsunami... After four or five attempts, the developer was afraid. The plan had to be shelved."

Cheng Ling showed a thoughtful expression, and said to himself: "Jiao, the hornless dragon is called Jiao, dragon, I don't know if it has anything to do with it."

The fat man was puzzled: "Does it matter?"

"It's nothing," Cheng Ling said easily, "I'm wondering what the relationship between Jiao and Long is, are they relatives?"

The fat man laughed: "What kind of relative, the dragon is a dragon, the jiao is a jiao, the jiao is not a copycat dragon, it can't compare to—"

The laughter stopped abruptly.

The fat man suddenly lost his voice like a duck being strangled.

The water flowed quietly past the water pavilion, the wind was blowing the leaves, and the leaves squeezed each other, you pushed and hugged each other.

A straw hat went upstream and floated to the surface of the river outside the water pavilion like a ghost.

The cross-shaped tire tracks and the red spots in the shape of small fish, like a red eye, stared straight at the fat man through the clear water.

Fatty's legs trembled, he still saw a ghost.

He wanted to escape, but his legs were so weak that it was difficult for him to even move a step, let alone run.

The straw hat stood there, floating and sinking.

The fat man's eyes opened wider and wider, and he cried out in horror.

Cheng Ling, who was studying the stone beast, was taken aback. When she turned around, she was stunned when she saw the straw hat in the water.

"It's chasing, it's chasing, it's chasing..." the fat man yelled with a pale face.

The noise of killing a pig made Cheng Ling's head ache, and for a moment he could pretend to be gentle and cute, and was about to tell the fat man to shut up, but the fat man was probably frightened, and ran back to the car staggeringly, bang He slammed the door and drove away.

"Damn!" Looking at the car leaving in Juechen, Cheng Ling cursed unladylikely.

In the water, the straw hat swayed from side to side with the current, and sank slowly.

Even the bold Cheng Ling is furious, could it be that the straw hat is really here for revenge?

Although the water is not clear to the bottom, it is not turbid, and the stones at the bottom of the river can be vaguely seen.

Leaning out of the water pavilion and looking around for a long time, Cheng Ling didn't find the straw hat, which sank and disappeared.

The fat man slammed on the gas pedal and rushed forward as if desperately. It wasn't until he passed the sixteenth bend that he suddenly realized that he had left Cheng Ling behind.

The speed of the car gradually slowed down, and the fat man hesitated whether to turn back to Cheng Ling.

It's just a coincidence, it's just a coincidence... Fatty comforted himself while reversing the car to go back to pick up Cheng Ling.

After picking up Cheng Ling, it was a loss, the terrified fat man didn't have the mind to continue playing, so he just went back to the villa.

Although the straw hat appeared strangely, in Cheng Ling's view, there was a great possibility that someone deliberately frightened the fat man. At first, she wanted to see what other tricks this person had, but seeing that the fat man was so frightened that his face turned pale, Cheng Ling had no choice but to give up. It was obvious that this matter was aimed at Fatty and had nothing to do with her.

The fat man drove the car very fast, wishing he could fly back with the bazooka installed.

As soon as the car turned into the fifteenth bend, a group of dark and unknown things came head-on, crackling and hitting the windshield.

The fat man and Cheng Ling in the car were startled, the fat man hurriedly braked, and the car scraped against the railing on the side of the road and stopped.

"what?"

"Looks like a fish."

As soon as the car door was opened, the stench was overwhelming.

The front cover and windshield of the car were covered with dead fish that grew from chopsticks. Most of the dead fish were rotten to the bone, and their internal organs flowed out. It was extremely disgusting.

In this place where there is no village in front and no shop behind, the dead fish falling from the sky makes people feel hairy.

The swear words that had been uttered out of anger got stuck in his throat, and the fat man's fat face seemed to be covered with a thick layer of white flour, making it pale.

Cheng Ling looked around and saw no one.

Looking up to the sky again, the blue sky and white clouds are extremely clear.These rancid dead fish came out of nowhere.

The unpleasant rancid stench not only stimulated the fat man's sense of smell, but also stimulated his nerves.

"Ah!" Cheng Ling's cry made the fat man jump up like a needle. He lost all gentlemanly demeanor, and blurted out: "What a fart, you bitch."

Cheng Ling's eyes turned cold, and he wanted to have a fit, but after a second thought, he put down the fire again, pretended to be terrified, pointed at the roof of the car and shouted: "Straw hat, Boss Wang, look, that lingering straw hat is chasing after you again. coming……"

On the roof of the car, a wet straw hat was lying there, the brim of the hat rolled up a little, staring at the fat man with a sly grin.
