In F City, a heavy rain came unexpectedly, and the mountain road suddenly became messy. Su Qiqi and Zheng Miao were also a little flustered, and followed the crowd into an unfinished antique building by the roadside.
"If I had known about the bad weather, I wouldn't have come to such a far place to wander around!"
As soon as Su Qiqi squeezed into a corner where she wouldn't be caught by the rain, she heard Zheng Miao complaining. She looked up at the rain, turned around and comforted: "It's okay, the summer rain will pass after a while, let's look for it." Let’s take a rest somewhere and wait for the rain to lighten up before leaving.”
Zheng Miao made a helpless expression and said: "This is the only way."
So the two of them crossed the crowd one after another and walked towards the back hall of the building.
The sound of rain seemed to be heavier. Su Qiqi and Zheng Miao stopped and found a clean corner to sit down by the carved corridor of the building.
The two played with their mobile phones for a while, and Zheng Miao said impatiently: "When will this rain continue? It feels like it won't stop even in the middle of the night..."
Su Qiqi subconsciously checked the time on her phone. It was close to 10 pm. If she didn't go back to the B&B on the top of the mountain, she would probably be in trouble. She also became a little anxious, reached out and patted Zheng Miao, and whispered: "Let's go, let's go back quickly." Zheng Miao nodded. The two of them walked together to where they came from.
"Hey, everyone is gone?" Zheng Miao's surprised voice made Su Qiqi feel a chill. The mountain roads and buildings in front of them suddenly became unfamiliar. Except for the rain that was still pouring down, it seemed that they were the only two people there. They were so empty and lonely that it made one's pores run cold.
Su Qiqi was also full of regrets about today's hasty trip, but she forced herself to stay calm, quickly opened the familiar map software, and searched for the route back to the B&B. A few minutes passed, and the page was still in the waiting state... Zheng Miao came over and took a look at her phone, then turned to search on her own phone, but the result was still the same, and she was still stuck in the search state.
"Miaomiao, why don't we try our luck? I remember that we came from this way..." Su Qiqi put away her phone, held it in her hand, and pulled Zheng Miao forward a few tentative steps. The lights on the top of the mountain can be vaguely seen. There was some comfort in her heart, maybe this route was correct.
The heavy rain seemed to have subsided a little, but the road in front of me became increasingly blurry. The two girls who had no sense of direction became frightened again. Instinct told Su Qiqi that they might be lost. She stretched out her hand to pull Miaomiao, who was still struggling to move forward, and gasped: "We may have gone the wrong way..."
Zheng Miao wiped the rain off her face, looked around hesitantly, and said in horror: "Sister, we are really lost!" Su Qiqi touched Zheng Miao's head and said with a wry smile: "Don't panic , try another way. Let's follow the lights and we should be able to return to the B&B." Zheng Miao sighed softly, put her hand in Su Qiqi's arm, and held her arm tightly.
An hour later, they finally saw the building where the lights were located. While they breathed a sigh of relief, they felt a little uneasy at the same time. "Sister, how did we get here? Why don't I remember this cinema?" Zheng Miao kept looking at the building in front of her, feeling a little upset and disappointed.
Su Qiqi's heart was also full of confusion: when they came yesterday, they walked around the top of the mountain and only saw the B&B and an amusement park. They had no memory of the small and shabby movie theater in front of them.
"Maybe we didn't notice it yesterday..." Su Qiqi said lightly.
Zheng Miao snorted, and then asked uneasily: "Sister, are we still looking for a B&B? Or are we going to watch an all-night movie here?"
Su Qiqi was stunned for a moment, then looked up at the dark woods and grass at night, feeling a little timid.
"Sister, I'm a little scared. How about we go to the cinema and stay all night, and then find our way back at dawn tomorrow..."
Su Qiqi was silent for a moment and said, "Okay, let's go to the cinema."
The two stepped on the steps, walked over, and opened the bright glass door.
The furnishings in the cinema are a bit simple. Apart from the waiters at the counter, there are only two or three people in the hall, scattered in different corners. Su Qiqi felt a little more at ease. For her who had practiced Taekwondo, she and her best friend were safe for the time being.
She asked Zheng Miao to sit down at a table near the counter, then looked around and found no sign of the self-service ticket vending machine. So she walked to the counter and bought two midnight movie tickets, a bucket of popcorn, and two bottles of Coke.
As soon as she put the popcorn on the table, Zheng Miao couldn't wait to grab a handful and stuffed it into her mouth.
"Are you hungry?" Su Qiqi asked.
"No, I'm just trying to calm down my shock with delicious food! I'll never visit a place like this again!" Zheng Miao made an exaggerated expression of fear while eating popcorn.
Su Qiqi couldn't help but be amused by her.
"Well, I won't come again in the future," Su Qiqi agreed, and began to send a message to Yan Ruoyu, another best friend who shared a room with her.
In Li'an Community. Yan Ruoyu was lying on the bed watching TV series.
While I was looking at it, I heard a series of WeChat message notifications.
"Oh, you two don't let people watch the show with peace of mind!"
While Yan Ruoyu complained, she slid away from the video page and checked her WeChat messages.
As soon as she took one look, her eyes widened.
get lost? Cinema? dangerous?
She moved closer to her phone in disbelief and browsed through the WeChat messages sent by Su Qiqi several times from beginning to end.
Only then did he react and quickly dial 110.
Then she called Senior An who lived upstairs, and the two of them drove to the newly developed M scenic spot in F city.
On the mountain road in M scenic area, two figures were running staggeringly, one foot deep and one foot shallow, moving in the darkness.
The lights on the top of the mountain went out at some point, adding a bit of an eerie atmosphere.
Yan Ruoyu and Senior An just got out of the car and were about to walk forward when they were almost hit by a figure running towards them.
"What's wrong with you?" Yan Ruoyu looked at the two people in front of him in horror. Senior An calmed down a little, gently grabbed one of them's arm and asked, "Why did you run down the mountain in the middle of the night? Did something happen? Have you ever seen two girls so tall?"
The two people did not answer immediately, but turned around and glanced at the top of the mountain with lingering fear, and then stumbled: "Something... something happened..."
"What happened?" Yan Ruoyu asked hurriedly.
The two people looked at each other and said, "Movie theater..." Then they broke away from Senior An's hand and continued running towards the road.
"What should I do? It's raining so heavily that it's difficult for my car to drive up," Yan Ruoyu said uneasily.
"It's okay, let's run up."
The two stopped talking and ran toward the dark mountains by the light of their mobile phones.
