Chapter 8

At this time, it was past the meal time, and there was only the boss in the local restaurant.

Zhu Yan ordered two dishes at random for the boss to cook. Xiao Li returned the heat preservation bucket and did not rush back, but stayed to chat with Zhu Yan. He did not leave until the boss brought the food.

After the meal, Zhu Yan was not busy returning to the villa, and she couldn't settle down to write in this state today, so she might as well go around.

"Boss, is this far from Baizhang Cliff?"

"It's not far. It's only a few minutes' drive and 20 minutes' walk."

"What about the Great Falls?"

"The big waterfall is far away, it will take more than half an hour to drive!"

"Then go to the nearest place first and go to Baizhang Cliff to have a look."

"There are buses and minibuses entering the mountain that will pass Baizhang Cliff. Do you want to wait?"

"No, it's still early, I'll go by myself."

Zhu Yan had an idea in her heart, to stroll outside for an afternoon, and then go back in the evening.

When I came out, the little policeman stood at the door of the police station next door, "Big writer, where are you going?"

"Go to Baizhang Cliff to see."

"Oh, the scenery there is unique and worth seeing, but some places are more dangerous, so pay attention to safety."

"Hmm, thank you! I'll pay attention. If you're worried, give me your phone number!"

"what!?"

"You can call the police if something happens!"

The little policeman left his phone number and told Zhu Yan that his name was Zeng Cheng.

Zhu Yan first went to the supermarket to buy a telescope, and then walked to Baizhang Cliff.

At the highest point of Baizhang Cliff Scenic Area, there is an ancient cottage, with gates, watchtowers and walls well preserved.The terrain of the cottage is dangerous, and there is only a narrow road to enter the gate of the village.There are many ancient buildings in the cottage, ancestral halls, archways, workshops, forests of stone tablets, etc. Most of them are damaged to a certain extent. An ancient building and cultural relics maintenance and construction team is repairing here, which is the construction team that leased the third floor of the proprietress.But now it's a holiday, the works are temporarily suspended, and only the scaffolding is still standing there.

Going out from the back door of the cottage is Baizhang Cliff.

Baizhang Cliff is more than [-] feet high. A plank road is dug out on the cliff. People walking on the plank road are like walking in the clouds. The surrounding mountains are winding and the scenery is beautiful. ,dizzy.

Zhu Yan is not too small and does not have acrophobia, but walking on the plank road is relaxed and happy.

I heard that in spring, the mountains and plains are full of rhododendrons, which is very beautiful.

Although it is not as good as spring now, the yellow and red among the pines and cypresses is also unique.

Because Baizhangya Scenic Area is still in the construction period, it has not been officially opened, there are no staff in the scenic area, and it is winter, so there is no one else except Zhu Yan.

The weather in the mountains has changed a lot. It was still warm and sunny before, but now there will be a cloud of dark clouds, and the sky will darken. I am afraid it will rain.

After going down the mountain, there was a bus stop on the road near the gate of the scenic spot. Zhu Yan waited there to see if any cars passed by.I regret that I didn't come by car.

As luck would have it, a minibus arrived after a short wait, and Zhu Yan beckoned first, regardless of 21.

The minibus stopped, and Zhu Yan asked, "Are you going to Lin Hai Yuntian?"

Conductor: "Come on up."

Zhu Yan had just gotten into the car and hadn't even sat down when the heavy rain fell.

"It's very dangerous, it's very dangerous, and it will become a chicken in a while later."

Conductor: "You are lucky, this is the last train for the return journey. If you miss it, you can only walk down or call someone to pick it up."

Just as he was talking, the phone rang, and it was Xiao Li who called: "Sister Zhu, where have you been, why haven't you come back? It's raining, do you want me to pick you up?"

"Thank you! No, I've already come back by car. I'll be there in a while."

After 10 minutes, the minibus stopped at the gate of Lin Hai Yun Tian.

Zhu Yan jumped out of the car, the rain was still falling, and it was very heavy. The water in the high places flowed to the low places, and some puddles soon accumulated on the ground.

Security guard Xiao Li waited at the door with an umbrella and took Zhu Yan into the security room.

"Fortunately, Xiao Zhu didn't get the rain." The security guard surnamed Wang said with a smile.

"Thank you Big Brother Wang and thank you Xiao Li for your concern."

"Sister Zhu, where have you been?"

"Go to Baizhangya Scenic Area."

"I didn't listen to you before, otherwise I'll accompany you and act as a tour guide for you for free."

"Hehe, next time! Next time we go to the Great Falls, please lead the way, we will drive by ourselves.

"Okay, it's settled."

Because it was still raining, Zhu Yan was chatting with them in the security room.

The topic was brought to the owner of the convenience store by Zhu Yan.

"This proprietress is amazing. All the other residents have moved out, so she stayed in her house. After the house was rebuilt, she opened a convenience store and a family hotel, and she did a good job!"

"This woman is amazing." Wang Baoan echoed. I am the first security guard here, and I know it clearly. "At the time of the demolition, her family was a nail-biter. She didn't move anyway. She was forced to lie down at the door of the house and said, "If you want to demolish it, you need to roll over her first. The developer doesn't want to make a big deal out of it, let's talk about it." As long as her family didn't move, it didn't have a big impact on the whole plan, so I gave in and agreed that she would not move."

Zhu Yan: "She is a strong woman!"

Xiao Li: "Brother Wang, I have never heard of such a thing. It's a waste of time for me and her daughter to be classmates!"

"Why haven't I seen the rest of their family?"

"Her husband has been working in other provinces for a long time. Her daughter and I are classmates. We didn't go to university this year. She went to work in the county, and my sister introduced me to come here as a security guard."

"She has to take care of convenience stores and run hotels all by herself. Is she busy enough? It's hard enough."

"In the summer and peak seasons, a few people are temporarily hired to help. There are many left-behind aunts and aunts on the street. Usually, one person is enough."

"Oh, I see!"

Afterwards, the three of them chatted with each other in the security room. Wang Jiazhu seemed to be taciturn. Once he opened the chat box, he was very able to talk. He was from the ancient town below. That is Tian Tian's company, the developer of Lin Haiyuntian - Hongyu Group.

The company wants to develop a summer resort here, and many people do not want to come to this mountain valley.Wang Jiazhu was dispatched here as the first batch of security guards to be sent here, which is exactly what he wanted. He was close to home, and his salary was not bad. Compared with the city, there were additional subsidies.

Wang Jiazhu told them about his experience as a soldier and some interesting anecdotes about his part-time job. Zhu Yan and Xiao Li listened with relish, and before they knew it, the rain stopped and it got dark.

"Sister Zhu, I'm going to the local restaurant to get some food, do you want to bring one for you too?"

"No, I'll go back and cook my own noodles."

Zhu Yan said goodbye and went back to Building 11. The cement road was still wet, and when she was walking, she still made a puff and puff.The street lamps on both sides emitted dim yellow light, dragging out Zhu Yan's lonely figure.There is wind passing through the forest, whistling, those forks in between, like monsters opening their mouths, waiting to devour everything?

Walking alone, I was still a little afraid. Although there was no reason to be afraid, Zhu Yan couldn't help but speed up the pace.In the end, it turned out to be flying, as if someone was chasing him, and rushed into the elevator of Building 11 in one breath.

When she got home, her clothes were soaked in sweat in the winter, she took a breath, and when she calmed down, Zhu Yan walked into the bedroom without turning on the light.

The three words convenience store appeared clearly in front of him.Zhu Yanxin said: This is what I want.

Everything can be seen clearly, the shutter downstairs is closed, and there is a room on the second floor that is lit.

I'm not voyeuristic.It's all about 12 o'clock tonight, I'm trying to figure out what's down there?If it's still there tonight.

A shadow was printed on the curtains, it was the proprietress.She stood in front of the window and opened the curtains, her face appeared in front of Zhu Yan, looking in the direction of Zhu Yan, Zhu Yan was startled, ah!Found out by her?He subconsciously lowered the curtain and retracted his head, only to remember that he could see the other person clearly only if he had binoculars, and the lady boss was so far away from her room that she didn't turn on the lights, and it was pitch black, so why would she be able to see it?

After I figured out this joint, I picked up the binoculars and peeped again. The proprietress looked back and seemed to say something to the people in the room?If someone is in the house?Or is she talking to herself?

Zhu Yan wanted to see if there was anyone else in the room, but saw that the proprietress quickly drew the curtains and left the window.Zhu Yan waited for a while, and when no one appeared, she put down the telescope, turned on the light, picked up her clothes and went to the toilet to take a shower.

After taking a hot bath, changing into dry clothes, and wrapping in a thick cotton robe, Zhu Yan felt hungry. After running around this afternoon, she was already so hungry that her chest was pressing against her back.Go to the kitchen and cook your own signature instant noodles!

There is a small window in the kitchen, just beside the stove. Outside the window is just a space between the two walls. The wind is blowing in. Although the window is closed, you can still hear the wind outside, especially if there is wind coming from the outside. The pipes on the top of the building were poured in, and when it reached this place, a strange sound was formed, like beating and hitting mixed with whimpering, harsh and heart-wrenching.The timid will really be afraid!

Zhu Yan sang while cooking instant noodles: I'm not afraid to see cockroaches... I'm more nervous... I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid...

Suddenly, Zhu Yan heard a loud bang. This sound was familiar, it was the sound of the water heater when the fire was on.

Looking around, I saw that on one wall outside the window was my own water heater, and on the other was the water heater of the next door.

Now it's the water heater next door that is lit.

Zhu Yan's first reaction was: someone lived next door.Then I thought: Did you just come today?I don't know who it is, it should be a young man, I don't know if it is a handsome guy or a beautiful woman?Do you want to say hello tomorrow?

Thinking wildly in my mind, I cooked instant noodles and still chatted with the three sisters while eating.After eating and chatting, go to the kitchen to clean up and take a look

Outside the window, the water heater next door is still in use.

After packing up, I went back to my bedroom. I first took a telescope and looked at the small building of the convenience store. Everything was the same, nothing changed.Zhu Yan set the alarm clock on the mobile phone at 11:50, and then started to code words, waiting for that moment to come.

At 12 o'clock, guess what Zhu Yan saw?
