Gu Yanan looked out the window, overlooking the countryside at the foot of the mountain.
She remembered that when she was a child, she especially liked rain.
For farmers who depend on the weather for their livelihood, the arrival of the rainy season is always a cause for joy. At that time, Gu Yanan liked growing crops just like his parents, and even thought it would be a good idea to follow his parents to grow vegetables in the village for the rest of his life.
The left-behind children in the village would envy Gu Yanan because her parents did not go to the city to work like their parents and could only see her during the holidays.
When it rains, Gu Yanan often cheers, runs to the farmland without an umbrella, and deliberately steps on the water on the ground, causing his clothes and shoes to get soaked.
But after going to school and following her relatives to the county town, her mind completely changed.
She threw away the idea that being a farmer for the rest of her life would be a good idea.
Studying in college, taking postgraduate examination...
But now, Gu Yanan has discovered that he is not as happy as when he was in the farmland as a child. Although it was hard at that time, as long as he sows seeds in the spring, he will definitely be able to harvest food in the autumn.
If she hadn't met Zhengxian, her parents would definitely have asked her to go back to her hometown to get married. Because they often said that she was quite good-looking and that marrying someone from the city would be the best way. There was no need to work so hard and have to take the postgraduate entrance examination.
.
But after entering society, she no longer believed in the primacy of appearance in idol dramas. In marriage, appearance can only provide emotional value and cannot form an economic foundation.
Even being good-looking had a negative impression in the eyes of Zhengxian's mother, making her feel that she had seduced her only remaining son through his looks.
Thinking of this, she leaned against the window sill and subconsciously wanted to take a look at her own reflection on the glass. But after looking at it for a long time, she couldn't see any reflection at all!
Could it be that specially treated low-reflective glass is used? This is done to prevent guests from looking in the mirror as much as possible?
At this moment, a thought passed through her mind: If she woke up in the morning and looked in the mirror, what would she see?
It’s not always possible... that what you see is not what you look like?
Under normal circumstances, such an idea would naturally be absurd.
But now it's hard for Gu Yanan not to think about this matter subconsciously.
But then she shook her head.
As the saying goes... curiosity killed the cat!
Because of the heavy rain, the two of them stayed in the house all the time, and asked the B&B's waiter to bring lunch and dinner.
Gu Yanan has noticed that... all tableware, whether bowls, chopsticks or spoons, are made of non-reflective ceramics.
If they want to look in the mirror, they can only use the mirror they carry or their mobile phone.
Of course... she specifically checked the meat in all the food to make sure... there would be no mutton.
The rain gradually became lighter.
It was already past seven o'clock in the evening.
Gu Yanan looked at the drizzle outside and said, "Zhengxian, I want to go out for a walk."
"Then I'll accompany you..."
"No, I want to relax."
"It's still a little rainy outside, but there's no umbrella..."
"I like a little rain."
Gu Yanan didn't know if she still had some grudges. Wei Zhengxian mentioned his brother's excellence before, but she did feel a little more stressed.
When she came outside, she waited until she was far away and began to dance among the mountains of the B&B building.
This was her favorite thing to do when it rained in the village.
Some things you do when you are young are innocent, but when you grow up, you become childish and immature. Adults must bear the shackles of "maturity", but who dictates what adults must be like?
She discovered that... after so many years, she still liked to dance happily when it rained, even if the dance steps were so ugly that it was impossible to watch.
I don’t know how long it has been...
She suddenly heard a voice coming from ahead.
"Amei, I like you."
When Gu Yanan heard this voice, he was stunned. Isn't this the voice of the B&B employee A Lu?
A Lu had such a bad temper that if he found out that she had "eavesdropped" on his confession, she would probably get misunderstood and she would not be able to explain clearly. So she immediately hid behind Uncle Yizhi and peeked over.
But she only saw A Lu, the one named "Amei", perhaps because the trees blocked her view.
"you?"
Then she heard a young woman's voice.
"Yes." A Lu said decisively: "Tomorrow night is the birthday of Fourth Uncle Huang's second son. Master Du will go there to help slaughter their sheep. I will also go to help."
"So what?"
"My fourth uncle and I made an agreement that after his second son's birthday, his remaining sheep can be sold to me."
"You don't have any friendship with your fourth uncle, do you?"
"I have done many things for my fourth uncle...and now is a critical moment," Alu gritted his teeth and said, "He will fulfill his promise."
"Alu... let's forget it. Find another girl."
"I will have a goat then! Amei! Please, promise me!"
Finally, Gu Yanan saw Amei.
She walked up to A Lu.
Amei is about half a head taller than Alu, and her face... can be said to be comparable to that of many Internet celebrities, and she is also amazingly beautiful without makeup in the rain.
On the other hand, A Lu...that ugly and disgusting expression, standing with Amei and saying that he hopes to marry her, is enough to make people feel physically uncomfortable.
"Amei, I grew up with you..."
"Alu, forget it." Amei still shook her head, "Even if you have sheep..."
"Amei! Promise me!"
Then, he gritted his teeth and said, "Two new people have moved into the B&B recently. It seems that they haven't looked in the mirror within an hour after waking up."
"You really haven't looked in the mirror?" Amei looked surprised: "Then what?"
"But your father seems to have been in contact with them."
Hearing this, Amei's expression suddenly changed.
"Alu, you..."
"Your father said something he shouldn't have said again, Mei. You should watch him carefully. But don't worry, I was the only one who saw it at that time. He almost strangled the female tourist to death."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Gu Yanan was shocked.
At that time...Alu was nearby? Was that madman Amei's father?
"He, what did he say?" Amei said this despite not caring about the safety of tourists.
"For example, he asked tourists, "What is a goat?" and also said that if you don't know what a goat is, it means you have become "them"..."
"Also, there is more..."
"Finally, he didn't have time to say, "Don't listen to them, be sure to look in the mirror when you wake up in the morning, and no matter what horrible things you see, don't tell anyone in the village"...this sentence
If he said that, it would be troublesome."
After hearing this, Amei breathed a sigh of relief.
"That is not bad……"
Then, Amei said: "Well, then, when you have sheep, I will consider it."
"That's good."
After receiving a satisfactory answer, Alu's ugly face revealed a sinister smile full of coldness.
"Amei, if you say that, I feel relieved. Okay, I'm going to work first."
Gu Yanan didn't dare to show his anger and hid his body completely behind the tree.
After Amei also left, she walked out.
"What did he mean when he said...?"
If you look in the mirror...what horrible things will you see?
This is just like the plot of a horror novel!
Gu Yanan ran all the way back to the B&B. As soon as he entered, he closed the door, drew the curtains, and whispered to Wei Zhengxian: "This village... is completely abnormal!"
Gu Yanan told Wei Zhengxian everything she heard and saw just now.
"What did you say?" Wei Zhengxian was stunned for a moment. Gu Yanan's words contained too much information.
If it hadn't been for their experience during the day, the two of them would have just left.
But with A Yuan here, he will definitely not be able to leave.
"The fourth uncle's second son is Zhengkang's so-called younger brother..." Wei Zhengxian remembered that last night, the fourth uncle and the young man who borrowed the flames did mention this.
"Yanan..."
Wei Zhengxian gritted his teeth and whispered: "When I wake up tomorrow, I will look in the mirror immediately! But no matter what happens, don't look in the mirror! I want to see what will happen!"
－－－－－－Digression－－－－－
This volume is quite special, not the conventional horror stories I usually write, so I would rather write slower and create a stronger sense of horror in the atmosphere.
Can you tell us your intuitive feelings about this volume?
