Chapter 347: Handsome guy, are you alone?
One night, they sat on the balcony of the hotel and looked at the night view of Suzhou.
"Lina, thank you." Sha Zhu said sincerely, "If it weren't for you, I don't know where I would be living in a muddle right now."
Lina smiled and said, "Silly Zhu, what are your plans for the future?"
Sha Zhu was silent for a while and said, "I want to stay here, find a job and start over."
Lina nodded: "It's a good idea. There are many opportunities in Suzhou, you will definitely find a job that suits you."
"But..." Sha Zhu hesitated, "I can't do anything except cooking."
Lina thought for a moment and said, “How about this, I’ll help you find a suitable restaurant or hotel.”
"Really? That's great!" A glimmer of hope ignited in Sha Zhu's eyes.
In the next few days, Lina asked around and finally found a high-end hotel that was hiring a chef. She took Sha Zhu to the interview, and with his superb cooking skills, he was successfully hired.
After finding a job, Sha Zhu became even more motivated. He went out early and came back late every day, carefully learning new dishes and working hard to improve his cooking skills.
Lina also often visited him, brought him delicious food, and encouraged him to work hard.
As time went by, Sha Zhu gradually adapted to life in Suzhou and integrated into the new environment. He made some new friends and began to have his own social circle.
One night, after Sha Zhu got off work, Lina came to him and said she wanted to take him to a place.
Lina drove and took Sha Zhu to a bar. The lights in the bar were dim and the music was deafening. Sha Zhu was a little uncomfortable and frowned and said, "What is this place?"
"A bar." Lina said with a smile, "Let me take you to experience Suzhou's nightlife."
Sha Zhu had never been to such a place before, and he felt very uncomfortable. Lina took him to the bar and ordered two drinks.
"Come, try it." Lina handed a glass of wine to Sha Zhu.
Sha Zhu hesitated for a moment, but still took the glass and took a sip. The taste of the wine was very strong, which made him feel uncomfortable.
"How is it?" Lina asked with a smile.
"It's a bit... spicy." Sha Zhu said with a frown.
Lina burst into laughter and said, "Shazhu, you are so cute!"
Sha Zhu looked at Lina's smile, and suddenly a strange feeling surged in his heart. He felt that the distance between him and Lina seemed to be closer than before.
At this time, a woman in revealing clothes came over, winked at Sha Zhu and said, "Handsome guy, are you alone?"
Sha Zhu was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer. Seeing this, Lina put her arm around Sha Zhu's shoulders and said to the woman, "Sorry, he's mine."
The woman walked away angrily.
Sha Zhu looked at Lina with gratitude in his heart. He knew that Lina was protecting him.
Lina looked at Sha Zhu, a sly light flashed in her eyes, and she leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Why, are you jealous?"
Sha Zhu's face turned red all of a sudden, he stammered: "No... No..."
Lina smiled and said, "Silly Zhu, you are not really in love with me, are you?"
Sha Zhu's heart skipped a beat. He looked at Lina with mixed emotions in his eyes...
In autumn in Suzhou, the air is filled with the sweet fragrance of osmanthus, but it can't cover up the damp smell of earth. My name is Chu Tian, I am a guy who can't sit still. I am curious about everything, especially those old stories and antiques. Today, when I climbed Lingyan Mountain, I heard an exciting news.
I was sitting in a pavilion on the top of the mountain, and a few tourists were chatting animatedly. A chubby middle-aged man said in a vivid voice: "Do you know? A skeleton was dug up in the nearby barren mountain a few days ago! It is said to be an antique, and the police have been there!"
Skeletons? Antiques? My heart skipped a beat. Could it be an ancient tomb? I've read a lot of tomb-robbing novels, and this plot is too coincidental! I quickly approached him and asked casually, "Brother, which mountain are you talking about? I want to go and see the excitement, too."
The fat man pointed to an inconspicuous hill in the distance and said, "That one. It looks inconspicuous. I heard it was a mass grave in the past. It's eerie and scary. Now no one dares to go there."
Mass grave? That's a lot of information! I was itching to fly over there immediately. I thanked the fat man and trotted down the mountain, heading towards the barren mountain impatiently.
It's called a mountain, but it's more like a small hill, with weeds and sparse trees. The exposed rocks are like huge scars, exposed to the sun. There is a small path at the foot of the mountain, winding and twisting, like leading to a mysterious entrance.
I took a deep breath and climbed up the path. The dead branches and leaves under my feet made a "crunching" sound, which was particularly clear in the silent forest. Most of the trees around me had withered, leaving only bare branches, like ghost claws reaching towards the sky. The wind blew through the treetops, making a low humming sound, as if someone was crying.
The higher we went, the sparser the vegetation became and the more rugged the rocks became. The air was filled with a rotten smell mixed with the fishy smell of soil, which made people feel nauseous. I covered my nose and walked forward cautiously.
Suddenly, I slipped and almost fell. I looked down and saw a piece of white bone! I stepped back in shock and observed carefully. The bone had been severely weathered and the surface was full of cracks, but it was still vaguely visible that it was a human tibia.
My heart was pounding. This place was truly bizarre! I looked around and saw a lot of similar bone fragments scattered around. Some had been crushed into powder, while others still retained their general shape.
I swallowed and continued walking forward. The top of the mountain was a flat land with a huge earth pit in the middle, as if it had been dug out by something. There were some rubble and soil scattered around the earth pit, as well as some broken wooden boards and pieces of cloth.
I approached the pit and was hit by a stronger stench. I almost vomited. The pit was pitch black and I couldn't see anything. I picked up a stone and threw it into the pit. I only heard a muffled "dong" sound, but no other movement.
I hesitated for a moment, but decided to go down and take a look. I found a sturdy branch and slowly climbed down along the edge of the pit. The pit wall was very steep and the soil was soft. I took every step carefully, fearing that I would slip down accidentally.
Finally, I came to the bottom of the pit. It was darker and more humid than above, and the air was filled with a suffocating sense of oppression. I shone a flashlight and found that the bottom of the pit was not flat, with many pits and bumps of different sizes.
