"Do you think I came to you to drink? Then I still need you? I can't even drink enough for myself." Dong Qiangqiang pointed at the room Johnson prepared for himself angrily, "You come with me, carrying the basket on the ground by the door. .”
"Use a basket? Don't you drink?" Duanmu muttered, walking towards the pile of baskets with an unhappy look on his face.
When the two of them walked out of the back door of the castle, it was getting late, and they saw a layer of gauze-like white mist hanging over the vineyards all over the mountains and plains. The last ray of the sunset became illusive and hazy through the white mist, and was shrouded in a white mist. The vineyards in the fog looked blurry.
"I said, Old Dong, why did you ask me to carry two big baskets of grapes that are so heavy? Are you deliberately entertaining me?" Duanmu usually doesn't exercise much, so he walked away for a while carrying a bamboo basket filled with broken grapes. Step by step he was out of breath.
"Let's go. You'll know in a moment." Dong Qiangqiang urged.
By the time the two of them walked to the place chosen by Dong Qiangqiang, it was completely dark.
The winery is located far away from the city. There are only large fields and a few scattered houses within a few kilometers. There is almost no industrial light. In addition, there is no lighting in the winery (castle), so the vineyard looks dark. of.
"What are we doing here?" Duanmu asked in a daze, listening to the sounds of animals coming from around him from time to time, "If we are keeping vigil, shouldn't it be in the winery?"
"We are going to catch a few 'troublemakers' tonight." Dong Qiangqiang said, and quickly took out the metal rope prepared in advance from his backpack, and pulled the knot at one end of the rope up and down, and saw that the knot was scaling normally. Satisfied, he placed the knot on the ground, lightly sprinkled a layer of loose soil on top to cover it, then took out the grapes from the bamboo basket with his hands, spread them evenly around the knot, and finally added half of the basket. The bamboo basket of grapes is placed in front of the knot.
After checking it carefully, he clapped his hands, took out a Sony Walkman (note: portable tape player) from his pocket, stood it up next to the basket, gently pressed the play button, and then quickly ran back to the hiding place. Grab the other end of the metal rope.
Duanmu stared dumbfounded as Dong Qiangqiang was busy for a while. He didn't know what he was going to do, and he was too embarrassed to ask. He frowned and stared at the bamboo basket in the distance, trying to see what would happen.
A strange sound suddenly came from the Walkman. It sounded like some animal roaring in a low voice. The sound was intermittently distant and sometimes close. It was not very clear.
"What is this?" Duanmu asked in a low voice with a confused look on his face, "Why do you put this in?"
"Shh, don't talk. You'll know in a moment." Dong Qiangqiang said, "Watch how I did it. You can do it again in a while."
Half an hour passed in a flash, and only the crickets in the grass were chirping at the top of their lungs, and there was no movement at all.
Dong Qiangqiang was still staring at the bamboo basket attentively. Duanmu behind him had flattened his body, lying under the grape trellis, resting his head on the raised mound of soil beside him, looking at the night sky, and said thoughtfully: "Hey, Do you think Volkswagen will release its first-half annual report next week? If the data released is higher than expected, will the stock price hit a new high?"
Seeing his appearance, Dong Qiangqiang said seriously: "I invited you here to do work. If you chat, you won't get a penny."
Seeing that Dong Qiangqiang seemed angry, Duanmu sat up and argued: "We've been sleeping for a long time, haven't we? We haven't seen a single ghost. What did you want me to catch?"
At this moment, side A of the tape in the Walkman finished playing, and the machine made two "click" sounds and automatically turned to side B.
But after playing side B for five minutes, no sound came out.
Just when Dong Qiangqiang suspected that he had not recorded the content on side B of the tape, Duanmu behind him yanked his T-shirt and whispered: "Look at the row of grape trellises in the third column on the right."
After hearing what he said, Dong Qiangqiang looked over there hurriedly. The night wind blew gently, and only the rustling of grape leaves was heard. The distance was blurry, and Dong Qiangqiang saw nothing.
"What are you looking at?" Dong Qiangqiang asked puzzledly.
"There seems to be someone over there." Duanmu's voice became even lower, "Didn't you see it? It's right there." Duanmu raised his finger and pointed.
Following the direction of his finger, Dong Qiangqiang vaguely saw something flashing between the gaps in the grape trellis.
"It seems to be true." Dong Qiangqiang praised, "You have really good eyesight."
"Do you think that shadow...is it a human or an animal?" Duanmu spoke with a trembling voice.
"I don't know, let's go and have a look." After Dong Qiangqiang finished speaking, he was about to move, but Duanmu pulled him back: "Hey, wait. What about me?"
"You continue to look here." Dong Qiangqiang pointed at the basket, "Have you seen the circle surrounded by grapes? There is a noose below. If an animal comes to eat and steps on the noose, you just pull the rope. As long as If you pull it fast enough, it won't be able to run away. By the way, remember to wear gloves. Some animals are very strong and your hands will be worn out without gloves, and you won't be able to grasp the rope easily."
Duanmu asked in a low voice while putting on his gloves: "Then you go and see for yourself?"
"This place isn't big. If there are too many people and there is noise, it should be scared away. I'll just go."
"What if the other party is a human or not an animal?" Duanmu worried, "What if he has a guy in his hand?"
"You know how to carry a knife when stealing grapes? Isn't that a disease?" Dong Qiangqiang didn't think much, and he was indeed not afraid. "Don't worry, if it's a thief, I'll act according to the circumstances, and nothing will happen. I'm leaving." Falling, he ducked down and ducked directly under the grape trellis beside him.
"Come back quickly after you see clearly." Duanmu shouted towards Dong Qiangqiang's back worriedly.
Dong Qiangqiang tiptoed towards the target carefully, but he didn't see any shadow.
Just as he was looking around in confusion, footsteps suddenly appeared on the side behind him.
Dong Qiangqiang's hair stood on end for a moment.
He turned his head quickly, lowered his body under the grape trellis, and looked warily towards the source of the sound.
I saw something flashing past between the gaps in the grapevine trellis, and it even reflected a glimmer of light.
glass?
Dong Qiangqiang thought he had made a mistake and leaned out of the grapevine trellis.
This time he saw clearly that it was indeed a glass, flickering between the gaps in the grapevine trellis.
The one holding the glass was a slender and skinny hand.
Dong Qiangqiang slowly moved under the grape trellis closer to the opponent, and bravely stretched out his head to look down.
In the dark night, a thin figure was walking down the slope.
Seeing the other party's clothes, height and iconic white hair, Dong Qiangqiang couldn't help but be stunned: Isn't this Jelena? She didn't sleep at night, so what was she doing in the vineyard?
