"Oh, you learn very quickly. You know how to speak in one day." Seeing me like this, my sister smiled brightly and started joking.
I blushed at her sight, smiled shyly, and sat quietly in the passenger seat without saying anything else.
My sister also quickly started the car engine, didn't tease me, and drove with peace of mind.
She drove her car straight out of the city and asked me if there was any shortcut.
I pointed to the small road leading to my house: "Sister, this is it. It's just a dirt road with some bumps, otherwise it would be much faster."
"Well, let's go this way. The road is a bit difficult, so you have to sit tight." Looking at me being a little cautious, my sister smiled slightly.
"Sister, it's okay, I'm used to riding in a bullock cart." I smiled at her stupidly.
"Okay, let's go."
She then drove towards this small road. It was said to be a small road, but in fact it was just big enough for two cars to barely pass.
Jingle bell! Jingle bell!
As we passed the small bridge, suddenly, my sister's cell phone rang.
When I heard the ringing tone, I was instinctively startled, and my mind thought of the ancient time telephone placed beside the bed.
When the car passed the small bridge, my sister parked the car on the side of the road.
"Hi, hello, what's the matter?" After looking at the unfamiliar phone number on the phone, my sister picked it up and asked in crisp Mandarin.
"Hello, Yuqin, I'm behind your car and have something to do with you." The voice on the phone was neither too loud nor too soft, and I could clearly hear the voice coming from my sister's phone.
It was obviously a man, with a hint of magnetism in his voice. He called her by her first name, with a hint of kindness in his harshness.
When my sister heard this, she looked stunned and instinctively glanced in the front view mirror.
I also turned my head and looked back, but what surprised me was that there was no one behind the car.
"Sister, wait for me, I'll go down and take a look." I looked at her confused face, and it was obvious that she didn't find anyone.
Out of good traditional education, when faced with such a call, for safety reasons, I unbuckled my seat belt, opened the car door, and walked out.
I followed the car around, but there was no one there.
I muttered in my heart, who is so boring? When the car drove into this small road just now, there was no one there.
With a bit of suspicion, I still checked around, but there was still no one there.
"Sister, there is no one there. Do you know who it is?" I walked to her car window doubtfully and asked.
"Wait for me, I'll go down and take a look." My sister was also puzzled, so she opened the car door and got out.
The two of us searched around, but still couldn't see anyone.
Instead, the last glow of the sunset quietly ended and entered dusk.
The surrounding trees looked miserable and desolate.
"Xiaoxia, where is the phone number my sister gave you?" My sister looked at me with a nervous expression. In such an environment, she also became timid.
And when I faced such an environment, if my sister hadn't been there, I would have used all my strength to run away.
Although my sister was there, I still felt a little nervous because I couldn't see anyone.
"Sister, I put it in my schoolbag. If you wait for me, I'll get it." As I said that, I walked towards the passenger seat.
However, I reached for the car door but did not open it: "Sister, did you lock the car door?"
"No." My sister shook her head and walked over to the car door where she came out, but she didn't open it either.
When this happened, she panicked instantly and her face changed.
I stretched my head to look and saw that the car keys were inserted in the car and the car was not turned off. Apparently, the car door was not closed when she got out.
"Sister, call the police quickly." I didn't react slowly and reminded her immediately.
At the same time, I instinctively felt that what happened today seemed a bit unusual and weird. How could such a coincidence suddenly occur?
My sister reacted and took out her phone in a panic.
She swiped the screen and suddenly found that her phone was turned off, so she pressed the power button, but the screen was still black.
"The mobile phone is turned off. I remember that the battery of the mobile phone was still 50%. What happened? Xiaoxia, did we see a ghost?"
She looked at me in fear, her face turned pale.
"No, sister." I comforted her, but I wasn't much better.
I am very scared of things like ghosts, let alone encountering such bizarre things myself.
At this time, I clenched my hands tightly and was sweating profusely. I looked around nervously and shouted: "Sister, don't be afraid. What's more, who are you? Don't pretend to be a ghost. Can you come out with your guts?"
Whoosh whoosh!
No one responded, only a gentle breeze blew between heaven and earth, causing the surrounding flowers, plants and trees to sway and make a whooshing sound.
"Ah!" My sister was so frightened that she screamed, patted her chest, leaned towards me, and said with a trembling voice: "Xiaoxia, my sister is scared. This scene suddenly reminded me of what happened back then, especially the face of his tragic death...
"
When I heard her say this, I wanted to think of their story, especially the ending of what my sister said, about the tragic death of her boyfriend in a car accident.
Hoo ho ho!
The two of us leaned against the car, clinging to each other, carefully examining the surrounding environment. The sound of the leaves shaking became louder, and the wind blew harder.
My whole body felt chilly, as if something terrible would appear in front of me at the next moment.
Thinking about it, I couldn't help but swallow my saliva.
Then, I thought about what my sister said about the guy who delivered takeaways to them at midnight...Grandpa Lin hanged himself...the tragedy of my sister's boyfriend's car accident...the nightmare I haven't had in a year.
Like facts, scenes appeared in my mind like a movie, filling my body and mind.
My heart felt like it was being grabbed hard by something, and it was beating thumpingly.
When my sister heard the news, her whole body collapsed in my arms, and her head dug into my chest.
Obviously, such an environment left an indelible mark on her heart, leaving her without any mental capacity.
My face was also pale, and big beads of sweat fell from my body.
"This bridge!"
Suddenly, I stared at the ancient stone bridge.
Thinking of a strange thing Grandpa Lin said, I screamed loudly, not daring to recall it.
But in my mind, all the stories Grandpa Lin told me were filled with strange and lifelike pictures.
My sister looked at my strange change in horror, hugged me hard, and asked loudly in a panic: "Xiaoxia, sister is here, what do you think is wrong with this bridge?"
"Sister, let's not talk about it for now. Let's get out of here before it's too late." I was sweating profusely and panting heavily.
This place is just outside the city, with no village or shop in front of it. If I tell her about those scenes, it will only scare her, and it will also scare me.
However, I looked at the neon lights in the city in the distance, and the phantom lights were like scary moving figures.
Fortunately, my sister was pressed tightly against my chest and I could feel the warmth coming from her body. The uneasiness in my heart eased a little.
"Sister, I'm here, don't be afraid." I calmed down, hugged her, and while comforting her, I reached out and tried to pull the car door open, but it still didn't open.
"Let's go, we can't pull away." I took courage, wiped my sweat, and looked at the village that appeared vaguely in my sight.
This place is about two kilometers away from home. If we walk, it will take at least more than half an hour, and we have to walk faster.
"Okay... okay, Xiaoxia, please don't abandon your sister." My sister stammered and said to me with a trembling voice.
She kept hugging me tightly, for fear that I would throw her away and run away.
"Sister, I won't abandon you." I nodded gently and couldn't help but boldly asked the doubts in my heart: "Are you familiar with the voice on the phone call just now? I think it might be a prank?"
"That voice, let me think about it..." My sister nodded gently, her head still buried in my arms, recalling the voice.
I didn't bother her, I just held her half in my arms and walked for about ten minutes.
My sister suddenly raised her head and looked at me: "Xiaoxia, I feel like that voice sounds like my dead boyfriend?"
Boom!
What are you afraid of? Looking at her expression that didn't look like she was joking, I was stunned for a moment, and my legs became weak from fear.
If she hadn't been in my arms and felt the warmth slowly coming from her body, I would have been so frightened by her words that I would have squatted on the ground.
"Sister, let's not talk anymore. Go back first and don't think about anything. I'm here." I didn't dare to let her continue.
Now she was not only afraid, but I was also afraid. Even walking felt difficult. At this time, it was already dark, there were no people around, and everything was deserted.
My heart was pounding, and I always felt like someone would come out of nowhere. The more I thought about it, the more frightened I became.
"Xiaoxia, did we hit a wall? I remember the door was unlocked when we got out of the car..."
