Ghost market

In the evening, the train arrived at its first mystery stop.

The sun has set, the night is gloomy. The lights in the train are brightly lit. If you look from the bright place to the dark place, you will inevitably see only a dark area.

The train only opens one door, everyone must leave the train in order according to the room number.

"Guests please leave the train in an orderly manner." The chief attendant stood by the door and shouted loudly, "We only open this door after the train stops. The train doors will be closed later, and will only be opened at 5 a.m. until 6 a.m. the doors will close and the train will continue to depart. Please pay attention to the time, don't miss it by returning late, and don't be too early."

"Always say to pay attention to time." Angelina showed a dissatisfied look on her face, "Where do we know the time?"

The chief attendant smiled and replied: "There is a clock at the train station sign."

Angelina squinted her eyes and looked outside. It was pitch black, nothing can be seen.

Bai Leshui counted the people from beginning to end and nodded to the chief attendant to indicate that everyone was here. The chief attendant then opened the train door.

"We hope you all have a good time at the mystery station." The chief attendant said with satisfaction as he watched the passengers leave the train one by one.

When Angelina from Room 8 left the train with her own package, the train door closed with a bang.

Bai Leshui looked at the chief attendant.

Chief attendant: "I'll open the door for you in half an hour. It would be terrible if passengers found out that you were derelict in your duties and complained about you. Anyway, you have enough time."

Bai Leshui: "What about when I come back ne?"

The chief attendant whispered: "Come back at least two hours in advance, don't let passengers notice that you have left."

Bai Leshui nodded, this was exactly what he wanted.

***

Everyone left the train and stood outside for a long time before their eyes gradually adapted to the darkness.

Then they discovered that there was nothing here except the train behind them.

There is no building that looks like a train station, and it is surrounded by lush trees.

If it weren't for a stop sign stamped on a stone pier next to it with the words "Mystery Station No. 1" written on it, and a very ancient clock hanging on the stop sign, they would even think that the train had stopped at the wrong place.

This really wasn't just a random place to stop and blast them out ba.

"Honey, look there's a path over there." The woman in Couple No. 4 shouted in a loud voice.

Following the direction the woman pointed, everyone else also frowned and looked over. Sure enough, there was a gravel road, but because it was too dark, they didn't notice it for a while.

The man in the couple frowned and said, "What kind of ghost place is this a. Do we still have to go ma?"

The woman took the man's arm and said, "Go and have a look bei. Aren't you curious about what the mystery site is ma?"

"Well...a bit." The man chuckled and walked over first with his little girlfriend.

Following closely behind them were the old man and the nanny from Room 2. The old man kept complaining that the trip was too tiring. The nanny did not answer, but followed the old man humming a strange tune, with a look of happiness and contentment.

Then there was the man in Room 3. He walked very fast, very soon his shadow disappeared.

The three people in Room 6 left while whispering, they kept a distance from the others in a tacit understanding.

The middle-aged man walked slowly behind with his son. Soon, the only characters left were Rong Zheng, who played Yuan Fangcheng, and Wu Xuanyuan, who played Qi Chengxun. There was also Angelina who was quietly observing the two of them.

"Are you leaving ma, temporary partner?" Qi Chengxun asked Rong Zheng beside him.

Rong Zheng kept a few meters away from him and was looking at the surrounding environment. He looked at it very seriously, as if he wanted to remember every inch of land and every bit of scenery here in his mind.

Qi Chengxun shrugged and looked at the other person: "You're not leaving either?"

Angelina originally wanted to follow the two men secretly, but after hearing his question, her cheeks became slightly hot and she said, "I plan to leave at the end."

As an old ghost, Qi Chengxun naturally understood what Angelina meant: "Whatever you want."

Rong Zheng observed the entire train from the outside. He even left his original position, walked forward and backward along the track, and counted the carriages of the entire train. After counting, Rong Zheng frowned.

The locomotive head of the train, the eight passenger compartments, the restaurant, the bar, the chess and card room, and the work compartment that he had been through once, there should be twelve compartments. Why is it thirteen when counted from the outside?

There was no way he could have counted wrong.

Originally, he just wanted to be prepared and observe more, but he didn't expect that he actually got an unexpected harvest.

A bit surprised.

Rong Zheng came back full of doubts, and saw Qi Chengxun squatting on the ground in boredom, counting the time and waiting for him. When he saw Rong Zheng coming back, he asked, "How is it, did you find anything?"

Rong Zheng was silent for a moment and replied: "Thirteen train carriages."

Qi Chengxun was not surprised at all: "Oh, really ma. If there's no problem, let's go ba. We still need to buy some souvenirs ne."

Rong Zheng nodded: "Mmh."

The two of them walked towards the path. Angelina, who was standing not far away but not too close and had been eavesdropping, her eyes widened: "Wait a minute, there is no problem with thirteen carriages? Are you kidding ma? Does the thirteen carriages include the cockpit ma?"

"Not included." Rong Zheng replied coldly.

Angelina: "Then that's very bad. It means there is something wrong with the train itself, or there is something here that can confuse people..."

"Isn't this very normal ma?" Qi Chengxun asked, "You know yourself in that place ba. What's not normal, isn't it just normal ma?"

Angelina was speechless.

She have to admit, this person is very right.

"You two, shouldn't be old players ba, morever the kind who play at high level," Angelina said.

There are not many weird situations like this in primary copies. These two people are so accustomed to it, it is by no means simple.

Qi Chengxun, the real veteran, said: "I used to play horror video games, now I just treat them like holographics bei."

Rong Zheng, who was entering the promotion dungeon for the first time: "I've entered similar dungeons several times, got used to it."

Angelina:…

Really ma?

Fine, she believed it.

"I've reveal a piece of information to you, so don't follow us anymore." Rong Zheng said.

Qi Chengxun spread his hands: "I don't care, but he said so."

Angelina, who was disliked again: "...I know."

She passed the two of them, walked quickly towards the path, and soon disappeared into the night.

A gust of cold wind blew by, leaving only Qi Chengxun and Rong Zheng.

Qi Chengxun and Rong Zheng looked at each other, took a step back together, opened a safe distance, then walked forward together.

This temporary pair, had no intention of getting along with each other from the beginning.

The path is very long, it took them a while to reach the end. There was light ahead, and the surrounding scenery gradually brightened.

After walking out of the small road, a small night market appeared in front of them.

There are simple stalls supported by wooden supports, and red lanterns with candles are hung on each stall. The dozens of stalls are very lively, there are many customers coming and going. It looks like an ordinary night market.

But if you look closely at the faces and clothes of the customers and stall owners, you can see something unusual.

Everyone here is not dressed in the same style. Some are wearing white shirts and denim trousers, some are wearing Chinese tunic suits, some are wearing cheongsams, and some are even wearing blue shirts and high crowns.

It's like extras from film and television crews from all eras coming together.

Not only were their clothes strange, but their faces were also very strange, livid or white, in short, none of them had normal blood color. And many of their movements are stiff, not like living people.

"Ghost market." Qi Chengxun said.

Rong Zheng: "Do you have ghost coins ma?"

Qi Chengxun: "Shall I draw one for you?"

Rong Zheng: He.

Qi Chengxun: "I can't see everyone else a."

Rong Zheng: "Let's sneak in ba."

Qi Chengxun touched his chin and thought: "So if we go in like this now, it doesn't matter?"

Rong Zheng didn't speak, he just took a step back silently, stretched out his hand and pushed Qi Chengxun out. Using extreme force, Qi Chengxun staggered a few steps to the edge of the ghost market, froze on the spot, and turned around to glare at Rong Zheng.

Rong Zheng observed the demons dancing wildly in the ghost market: "It seems there is no problem."

Qi Chengxun: "Tricked me."

Rong Zheng said with an innocent face: "No, I thought you were locked up here. I helped you a bit."

Qi Chengxun:...

Beliving you would be seeing a ghost.

No, now we've already seen ghosts.

"Let's go ba." Rong Zheng said, "Go buy something."

Qi Chengxun chuckled a few times and followed Rong Zheng not far behind, staring at his back and thinking about how to kill this guy.

Rong Zheng remain unmoved.

There are many stalls here, selling everything. Fruits and vegetables, clothes and jewelry, daily general merchandise. Rong Zheng walked around and stopped at a stall. The stall in front of him was a very ordinary clay figurine stall. Rong Zheng asked: "How to sell clay figurines?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Chengxun immediately stopped where he was and kept a safe distance from Rong Zheng.

The clay figurine boss was an old man wearing burlap clothes. Hearing this, he raised his pure white eyes and said, "Three pennies."

Rong Zheng: "If we forgot to bring money ne?"

The old man chuckled and said, "Then give me something in exchange ba. I'm blind, can't see. Give me your eyeballs and I'll give you a clay figurine."

Rong Zheng turned around and left.

The old man shouted loudly: "One eyeball will do."

Rong Zheng turned a deaf ear.

Qi Chengxun took a few steps to follow him: "You won't die if you throw an eyeball. Do you want to think about it ma? I can lend a hand, help you dig it out."

Rong Zheng paused, turned back, pointed at Qi Chengxun and asked the old man, "Is it fine if I use his eyeballs to exchange ma?"

Qi Chengxun:...

The old man shook his head: "You make a deal with me, what are you doing searching this person?"

Rong Zheng sighed regretfully and said to Qi Chengxun, "You are really worthless."

Qi Chengxun:...

The other side.

Half an hour is up.

The chief attendant opened the door for Bai Leshui on time. When he watched him go out, he said in a low voice: "Be careful when buying things. There are always unscrupulous businessmen over there who want to exchange junk goods for good ones. Just ignore them."

Bai Leshui didn't quite understand, but nodded anyway, thanking the chief attendant for the reminder.

The author has something to say:

Qi Chengxun: You are valuable, exchange ma?

Rong Zheng: No selling cheaply.
