Chapter 8 1. It smiled

Walking out of the train station, Zhu Neng found that it was raining again.The rain is not heavy, and it is sparse. It's his first time here. There is no one in the square in front of the station, very deserted.There are large expanses of lawn, and some strange flowers are planted. The bright red flowers are washed by the rain, a bit like blood. Zhu Neng kept looking around, he didn't know where he should go. After watching for a while, he ran to the small shop next to him to buy an umbrella. In the small store, there was only one old woman dozing on the counter, her gray hair coiled into a strange shape, like an ancient person.

Zhu Neng coughed. "What to buy?" The old woman raised her head, her face was very dry. "Buy an umbrella." "No umbrellas, only raincoats." raincoat…… Zhu Neng's heart tightened. The rain suddenly became heavier, as if reminding Zhu Neng that he must buy a raincoat.He felt that God also had ulterior motives. "Bring me a raincoat." The old woman groped under the counter for a long time, then handed Zhu Neng a dusty raincoat, a red raincoat.This raincoat is exactly the same as the one on Sun Kong!Zhu Neng's heart beat wildly. "Any other colors?" His voice was hoarse.

"No." Zhu Neng put on this red raincoat.The hood of the raincoat was too big, and he could only see the front, not the sides, let alone the back. In the rain, he suddenly heard the sound of "click, click", as if someone was walking towards him.This person should be wearing leather shoes, very low-quality leather shoes with hard soles. Zhu Neng turned around, but there was rain everywhere, and he didn't see anyone. He turned back and finally saw the man. The man was also wearing a red raincoat with a big hat covering most of his face.He held a wooden sign in his hand, on which were written two large red characters—Zhu Neng, which became distorted and hideous after being wet by the rain.

Zhu Neng stood there in a daze, looking at him. The man approached a little bit, his deep eyes kept staring at Zhu Neng. Zhu Neng tentatively asked, "You... looking for me?" The man stopped in front of Zhu Neng, looked straight at him, and said nothing. Zhu Neng coughed dryly and said, "I am Zhu Neng." That person finally spoke: "I'm from Xitian Film and Television Resort, here to pick you up." He spoke a dialect of a certain place, which was difficult to understand, and Zhu Neng managed to understand it. "Oh." Zhu Neng agreed, but he didn't show any excitement, nor did he say he wanted to go with him. He felt that the person in front of him was a little unusual, even a little dangerous.

That person seemed to have sensed Zhu Neng's thoughts, he took a step back and said, "Sun Kong is looking for a car, he will be here in a while." Zhu Neng was taken aback, Sun Kong got out of the car?Where did he go on the train?He won't be following behind him all the time, right?Thinking of this, Zhu Neng's spine shivered. The man said again: "Sun Kong said that you didn't go back to the dining car after you went to the dining car. Where did you go?" Zhu Neng didn't know how to answer for a moment. "Let's go." After he finished speaking, he turned and walked forward.Zhu Neng followed behind him dubiously, keeping looking at his back.His heart became more and more nervous, because he saw how this man's back looked like a monkey.

His back was a bit hunched, and when he walked, his legs were spread apart. When he encountered deep water, he jumped over it very lightly, and his movements were very monkey-like. He led Zhu Neng out of the train station square, and stopped in front of a jeep, which was probably new and black, and there was no one in it. The car door opened suddenly, and Sun Kong jumped out of the car. Zhu Neng felt that he was like a demon who could hide in a small box. Now, all three of them were wearing red raincoats, standing upright next to a black jeep, which was extremely strange. Sun Kong opened the door of the back seat, beckoned Zhu Neng and that person to get in the car, and he himself sat in the co-pilot's seat.

who drives? After getting in the car, Zhu Neng immediately took off his raincoat. No one likes to wear such a normal person.Sun Kong and that person didn't take off, they sat there numbly. "Are we waiting?" Zhu Neng asked carefully. "Wait for someone." Sun Kong said. Zhu Neng asked again: "Who are you waiting for?" "Waiting for the driver." At this time, the man fumbled for a long time from his arms, took out a crumpled pack of cigarettes, took out one and handed it to Zhu Neng: "You smoke." The cigarette had a musty smell, and there was a tawny hair on it, like monkey hair.

Zhu Neng took it, smiled and said, "Thank you, what's your last name?" "My surname is Yuan, so you can call me Lao Yuan." There was no more topic, and the car fell into silence again. While they were not paying attention, Zhu Neng threw away the cigarette. He took out his own cigarette, lit it, and took two deep breaths. He slowly leaned against the back seat of the car and closed his eyes. He had a dream— In the dream, he came to a place with green mountains and green water, but the weather was very gloomy, and there was a very strange thing following him. It was wearing a red raincoat, with ulterior motives and agility.

Zhu Neng couldn't get rid of it no matter what, he panicked and panted. Finally, he saw a red raincoat on the side of the road. He grabbed it and put it on, imitating its appearance, walking with legs apart, and jumping from time to time.He was glad he could think of this way. He underestimated his opponent—that thing was very cunning, it didn't treat Zhu Neng as the same kind because of this, it still followed him leisurely, with deep eyes. After walking for a while, Zhu Neng looked back, and it was already approaching a lot, only a few meters away.He quickened his pace.After a while, looking back again, it approached a lot, less than one meter away from him, and he heard its panting.

His face was covered with sweat, and he continued walking, alone in the empty street.And there it is. When he turned around again, it was already close at hand.His furry paws almost touched Zhu Neng's pants, and his crotch became hot, and he became incontinent. There was a wall ahead, and he had nowhere to run. Zhu Neng was about to collapse, his knees softened, and he knelt down towards it with a "plop". He saw that it had sharp-nosed monkey cheeks and long beards, three parts like a human and seven parts like a monkey.He also smelled the rotten smell of it. However, it didn't seem to know what it meant, and looked at Zhu Neng without blinking.For a long time, it and Zhu Neng just looked at each other.

It suddenly laughed. It actually laughed!What's even more frightening is that it even made a woman's laughter. Zhu Neng was sure that it was a woman's laughter!It's the kind of laughter that you don't hold back when you hear a very ridiculous joke on a serious occasion. And this laughter was somewhat familiar, but unfortunately, he just couldn't remember who it was. Zhu Neng desperately recalled.However, that thing's smile doesn't match up with all the smiles in memory, it's weird. He became more and more frightened, and the sweat on his face grew more and more. who is it? who is it? He suddenly thought of a terrible question: since this laughter is not in his memory, could it be that he just heard it? Thinking of this, his scalp exploded - it was Bai Jingjing's laughter! That thing smiled like Bai Jingjing! Perhaps, it is Bai Jingjing? It spoke: "Be careful of monkeys." It made a female voice, which resembled Bai Jingjing's voice. Zhu Neng woke up from the dream at once. He immediately heard Bai Jingjing's laughter - she was sitting in the driver's seat, turned her head and looked at him, laughing non-stop. Zhu Neng jumped up immediately, he forgot that he was in the car, his head hit the roof of the car heavily, and then he collapsed on the seat like a dead fish. "Are you okay?" Bai Jingjing asked with concern. Looking at her face, Zhu Neng had goose bumps all over his body. Lao Yuan helped him up and said, "Did you have a nightmare just now?" Zhu Neng shivered and didn't speak. Bai Jingjing laughed a few more times, and said: "In the dream, you laughed like a woman, which surprised the rest of us. Tell me, what did you dream about?" "No, nothing." Bai Jingjing turned her head, started the jeep, and said: "It's raining today, the road is difficult to walk, let's find a place to stay for one night, and leave tomorrow?" Lao Yuan immediately said, "That's the only way." Zhu Neng suddenly thought of a question, why is Bai Jingjing with them?It seems that she is very familiar with Sun Kong and Lao Yuan. Could it be that they are accomplices in the first place?And that male marshal, they let him go, they just wanted to find someone deep in the mountains and old forests to destroy his corpse?Zhu Neng suddenly understood one thing - their purpose may not be to send him to prison, but to kill him. Zhu Neng was obviously unwilling to give up like this. He looked at the three of them and asked, "You...are all from Xitian Film and Television Resort?" Lao Yuan nodded and said, "Sun Kong and I raise monkeys, and Bai Jingjing is the tour guide of Pansi Cave. She was on a business trip a few days ago and happened to come back with you. Didn't you meet on the train?" "No." Bai Jingjing hurriedly said. Zhu Neng was stunned, why did she lie? After thinking for a while, Zhu Neng asked again: "Where is Xitian Film and Television Resort? Is it far from here?" "It's far away, in the deep mountains and old forests." Zhu Neng slumped on his seat again. After a long time, he struggled to sit up and found that the car was driving in the wilderness! Ahead is a dirt road with potholes.It was already dark, the car lights shot out, and the dirt road was pale.There are dry trees on both sides, Zhu Neng doesn't know its name.The only thing that reassures him is that this place is not deep in the mountains and old forests. In the distance is an endless wilderness of darkness. Sun Kong and Lao Yuan were still wearing red raincoats. It was getting dark, and their faces could not be seen.The reflection of the headlights shone on Bai Jingjing's face, making her look even whiter. "Where is this going?" Zhu Neng asked tremblingly. "Go to stay at my grandma's house for one night." Bai Jingjing said dully. "Where is your grandma's house?" "That's it." While talking, the jeep really drove into a village and stopped in front of a big iron gate. Zhu Neng looked around, the village was pitch black, and no one had a light on.All the houses are lonely, not connected together, like black eyes, looking at him coldly, with a kind of gloomy air.He didn't hear a bark.This is not in line with common sense. Bai Jingjing turned off the engine, then got out of the car and opened the back seat door, reaching out to support him.Zhu Neng felt that she was not here to help him, but to drag him. Sun Kong and Lao Yuan also got out of the car and stood straight to the side. Bai Jingjing took out the key and opened the big iron gate. The yard was empty, and they entered the room.The furnishings in the room are very simple, a bed, a table, and a few chairs.The bed was covered with white sheets. The furnishings of the three rooms are exactly the same. It was getting dark, and Zhu Neng's heart was getting cold -- he was worried that he would not survive tomorrow. Lao Yuan started cooking. He took out a large snakeskin bag from the trunk of the car, and took out a live chicken from the snakeskin bag, and then, as if by magic, he took out a kitchen knife and a chopping board from the snakeskin bag , iron pan, shovel, soy sauce, white vinegar... Then, he pressed the chicken on the chopping board, grasped the chicken's wings with one hand, raised the kitchen knife with the other hand, and chopped it off violently, the chicken's head fell off, and blood spurted out. Some chicken blood splashed on his face. The headless chicken frantically flapped many times in Lao Yuan's hands, and finally weakened, twitching violently. Bai Jingjing took out a small gas tank and a small gas stove from nowhere, lit it, and started to boil water. Soon, the water boiled, and Lao Yuan picked up the headless chicken and threw it into the pot.In a blink of an eye, the headless chicken's feathers fell off, and it "lyed" naked in the pot, with its claws straight and stiff. Sun Kong clapped his hands and said, "I'm going out to buy a bottle of wine." After speaking, he walked out of the yard alone. Their division of labor is very clear, and their cooperation is tacit and seamless. Just like this conspiracy, it is extremely weird, but it has no flaws.Until now, Zhu Neng didn't know what they were going to do to him?Or, will they do something to themselves?Also, are they accomplices of the cattle tradition? Will they kill themselves like chickens? Now, there are only two of them left, Sun Kong is not here. Zhu Neng's heartbeat suddenly quickened - among the three of them, although Sun Kong was the shortest and seemed the easiest to deal with, Zhu Neng believed that Sun Kong was the most terrifying, as if there was an indescribable strange power in him.But now, facing Bai Jingjing and Lao Yuan, Zhu Neng felt that his chance had come. chance to escape. If, that kitchen knife is in his hand. Zhu Neng's eyes fixed on the kitchen knife in Lao Yuan's hand. At this moment, there was a voice that seemed to be crying but not crying, or smiling but not laughing, from outside the door. For a moment, Zhu Neng was in despair—he recognized that it was Niu’s traditional voice, and he was warning himself—— A few years ago, Zhu Neng heard the traditional yelling and scolding of cattle in the zoo, and he said that he would break Zhu Neng's bones.
