Hearing Feifei reminding herself that she ran a red light, Xia Hongyu said "Ah" and stepped on the brakes almost subconsciously.
Everyone in the car fell forward, but fortunately they were all wearing seat belts.
Shen Xing took the phone slightly away from his ear and asked, "What's going on?"
"No...it's okay." Xia Hongyu tried her best to remain calm, her cheeks flushed.
Feifei said: "It was hit by a deer."
"What deer hit it?" Shen Xing was surprised.
Feifei pointed to the heart and explained: "The deer bumped into each other randomly."
"Feifei." Xia Hongyu glared at her angrily, suddenly feeling that this little girl was full of evil.
After Shen Xing and Su Tong talked for a while, she hung up the phone and said to Feifei: "We guessed it right last time. Aunt Mou really asked me for help."
"Didn't you say that without Aunt Mou here, you would have been in trouble that day?" Feifei said: "I feel that if we can help, we should try to help her, but I also feel that this favor may not be easy to do."
Hearing Feifei say that Shen Xing was in trouble, Xia Hongyu hurriedly asked: "What happened?"
"It's just some abnormal matters that have been taken care of." Feifei replied, "Don't worry, Aunt Xia, Uncle Shen is very powerful, plus I'm here."
"You?" Xia Hongyu shook her head secretly.
Shen Xing said: "I also feel that Mou Ling may not be able to help, otherwise with her ability, she should have solved it long ago."
"So it's to help!" Xia Hongyu suddenly felt relieved.
The car quickly arrived at its destination, and the three of them stopped talking about anything else. After getting out of the car, Shen Xing and Xia Hongyu just played with Feifei.
The amusement facilities in this ocean park are complete, and the fish in the aquarium are enough to attract the attention of adults, not just children. The three of them played until five o'clock in the afternoon.
After leaving the park, Shen Xing served as host and treated Xia Hongyu to a spicy hot pot meal.
Originally, Xia Hongyu had something to go back to Yungu tomorrow, but she secretly postponed it and asked the secretary in the company over there in Yungu to handle it for her, while she controlled it remotely through the phone.
Xia Hongyu planned not to go anywhere in the past two days and stayed with Feifei in the apartment. During the day, she went to Tingwu Wood Carving Shop to spend some time with Shen Xing.
She actually knew the reason why she didn't leave Heshan for the time being. It was an unreasonable sense of security that was pulling at her. After leaving, she always felt uneasy.
It is better to look at Shen Xing. Xia Hongyu has always felt insecure in her heart. Ever since her divorce, this sense of security has been constantly spurring her to move forward, earn enough money, gain enough status, and break this feeling. Insecurity.
But she also discovered that it seemed that her sense of security had not been reduced much. What she might lack was someone who could accompany her.
But at noon the next day, Shen Xing went to make an appointment with Mou Ling alone as agreed yesterday.
This was a request from Mou Ling. Xia Hongyu knew that there was something abnormal between Shen Xing and Mou Ling, so it was impossible for her to participate.
Although I really wanted to do it, I could only bear to stay in the store and drag Feifei to the store to play. I didn't know who was accompanying whom.
The agreed place was a bar called "Dark Color".
As the name of the store suggests, the light inside this bar is really dark. Shen Xing felt like he was suddenly blinded when he first entered the store in broad daylight.
He was about to reach forward to touch it, but after a slight hesitation, he opened the special pupils, and the darkness in front of him was instantly cleared.
A male waiter stood at the door and was about to reach out for help. He moved skillfully and had a smile on his face. It seemed that he had done this kind of work for a long time. I don't know what the original intention of this design was?
"Sir, alone?"
Shen Xing shook his head: "There are friends waiting inside."
As he walked in, he heard Mou Ling's voice coming from near the bar: "This way."
Shen Xing looked around. There was very little business in the bar at this time. Except for Mou Ling at the bar, there was only a couple sitting in the corner and whispering.
Shen Xing walked over and Mou Ling asked, "What do you want to drink?"
She was dressed less seriously today than when she went to the special unit that night. She wore a dark purple velvet close-fitting T-shirt, a white casual down jacket with a furry collar, tight jeans, and a pair of over-the-knee leather boots. The pattern on the metal buckle of the belt is very beautiful and vaguely reflects the light on the bar.
With a slim figure, he was half-lying on the bar, and he seemed to be very familiar with this place.
Shen Xing had never been to these places, so he said casually: "Anything is fine."
"You can have a drink," Mou Ling said to the bartender.
The waiter nodded slightly, turned around and started tinkering in front of the wine cabinet.
Shen Xing was stunned for a moment, then listened to Mou Ling's explanation: "'Anything' has another name, it's called 'Whatever'. There is a bar that specializes in selling 'Whatever' cocktails. You can try it. It's delicious."
"Okay." Shen Xing nodded, "Thank you for what happened last time."
Mou Ling shook her head, and there was no smile on her face. Shen Xing had never seen her smile anyway.
Mou Ling moved the stool under her body towards Shen Xing, bringing herself closer to him.
A fresh fragrance penetrated Shen Xing's nostrils, and Mou Ling lowered his voice and said: "My ability is to discover abnormal weaknesses and then find ways to defeat them. You were in danger that day, and there is no reason why I wouldn't help you even if you discovered it."
"Yes." Shen Xing smiled, "The information you provided at that time was indeed very important to me."
"If you have plans to kill that anomaly in the future, you can tell me again. I will help if you can," Mou Ling said.
"Thank you in advance!" Shen Xing kept smiling and asked, "Tell me, do you have any trouble there?"
Mou Ling called Shen Xing out this time. It was because she wanted to ask for something. She didn't show off and said directly: "I encountered an anomaly and I can't deal with it. I want to ask for your help."
"Why not call it a special team?" Shen Xing was a little confused.
"It's not in Heshan, it's in Qishan City." Mou Ling said: "And it's not in the city, it's in Shuitao Town in Qishan City. My aunt was the one who encountered the abnormality. This is one of the reasons why I didn't tell the special investigation team."
"Are you from Qishan?" Shen Xing asked.
"Yes." Mou Ling nodded.
"Please tell me the specific situation first." Shen Xing frowned, becoming a little curious.
At this time, the bartender messed around a lot, mixed a glass of colorful wine, and pushed it in front of Shen Xing.
Click, right under Shen Xing's eyes, he cracked another raw egg in. Perhaps due to the difference in density, the egg white and egg yolk just floated on the surface of the drink and did not sink, making this "casual" cocktail even more colorful. Brilliant.
Shen Xing frowned deeper and did not dare to speak for the time being, focusing on Mou Ling again.
Mou Ling said: "This was a month ago. That day I received a call from my uncle from Shuitao Town, Qishan, saying that my aunt might have been a ghost. She was gloomy. Sometimes she talked nonsense and said things that were incomprehensible. If you understand, you won’t sleep at night, and sometimes you will sit up suddenly when you fall asleep, sitting on the bed for hours without doing anything.”
"I asked him, besides these abnormal situations, if my aunt had any other unusual experiences, such as walking outside at night, or encountering any strange things. My uncle said, that's not the case, but my aunt's previous I bought a wooden sculpture from a street stall in two days."
"Wood carving?" Shen Xing was stunned.
"Yes, a wood carving, a wood carving that is not very fine and even a little rough." Mou Ling nodded, "I saw the wood carving. It is not a human figure or other scenery at all, but a very abstract image."
As she spoke, she opened her phone, pulled up a picture, and handed it to Shen Xing.
Shen Xing looked at it and saw that the wood carving should be made from cypress wood. It was dark in color, roughly polished, and waxed. It had a weird shape, like a person with a twisted body, with two twists from the waist up. The road bends like a woman doing a weird dance.
But it is impossible for a normal person to twist the body like this unless the body is broken.
Not only that, under the wood carving, there is a large tree lump, which has been polished even more roughly. If you look at it as a whole, it doesn't look like a human being at all. It is just a piece of tree carving that has been slightly modified.
From a collection point of view, this thing has almost no value, but if the price is low, it makes sense to just buy it and visit it.
"How much did it cost?" Shen Xing asked.
"Sixty." Mou Ling replied.
She continued: "On the fifth or sixth day after I bought the wood carvings, my uncle couldn't remember clearly. He said that he was woken up by a sound of voices in the middle of the night. When he woke up, it was after four in the morning. Although the room was dark, But he could still see. He saw his aunt wearing only autumn clothes and long trousers, standing motionless in the darkness in the bedroom. He didn't dare to say anything at the time, thinking that a thief had entered the house. His aunt might have gotten up after discovering the thief. .”
"But soon my uncle felt something was wrong, because the doors and windows in the room were closed, and there was nothing there except a table in the direction my aunt was facing. Then he heard the voice of my aunt with her back to him, but he heard It was unclear what she was talking about. My uncle wanted to call her, but at this moment, he heard my aunt suddenly laugh twice, and the sound did not sound like her at all."
"My aunt usually has a loud voice, but this laughter was thin and high-pitched, as if her throat was suppressed by something. It was completely different from her usual voice. My uncle was startled at the time, and after the laughter , my aunt suddenly stopped talking to herself, and slowly turned her head towards the direction where my uncle was sleeping."
"My uncle didn't know what he was thinking at the time. He just closed his eyes subconsciously and pretended to sleep, and there was no other movement from my aunt. After waiting for a few minutes, he heard no sound coming from him. He didn't know what it was, so he Quietly open your eyes a little and look in the direction where she was standing just now."
"Unexpectedly, when he opened his eyes, he found that his aunt had already been in front of him, bending down and staring at him with her eyes wide open."
