Mr. Gu, stop chasing me! Miss Jiang has become a movie queen!
Chapter 82 Power Outage
After Jiang Ning hung up the phone, he put the phone on the table, but he kept thinking about Gu Yuan's profile in his mind. To be exact, he was not thinking about him, but replaying that feeling.
"It's all Gu Yuan's fault. Why did he turn his head so suddenly? He scared me."
She said this, but it seemed like something in her chest was beating wildly, thump thump, and it was almost reaching her throat.
Gu Yuan did not continue to chat with her. Perhaps he had gone to rest. Jiang Ning was also tactful and did not disturb him anymore.
When she opened the phone again, she was startled by a warm and greasy touch: "Oh no, it's broken, it's greasy."
The red oil left over from the grilled fish on the table stained Jiang Ning's phone, making her screen smudged.
Jiang Ning quickly took some paper to wipe it, but it became more and more slippery and could not be wiped clean.
She was about to find some dishwashing liquid, but just as she reached the sink, the world suddenly plunged into darkness. The sudden blackness in front of her made Jiang Ning unable to see anything clearly.
Thinking that she was still in the water and might slip, she quickly felt for something to hold on to, then closed her eyes. After a brief moment of calm, she opened her eyes again and could barely see her surroundings clearly.
There's a power outage!
Jiang Ning opened the curtains. The moon outside the window was high and bright. The moonlight shone through the glass onto the floor inside the room, reflecting a white light, so that one could basically see inside the room clearly.
She walked to the table in the moonlight. She didn't bother to clean her phone at the moment. As long as it could be used, it was fine. However, the slippery touch still made Jiang Ning feel a little nauseous.
"Everyone, stay calm. It was just a sudden gust of wind that broke the power line. Someone has gone to repair it. Everyone, please find a safe place to stay. It will be restored soon."
The tour guide sent a group message to everyone, and Jiang Ning also received it.
The notification sound of the mobile phone was still ringing. It seemed that there was a power outage in the whole homestay. Many tourists were complaining in the group. There were also those who were playing games. They were playing the game well when the network was suddenly cut off, causing them to lose the game.
Jiang Ning ignored all of this. She took a look at the remaining battery on her phone and found that it was only 10%.
Weird, didn't I just charge it? Could it be that there was no power from the beginning? Then why are the lights still on and the TV still working?
Jiang Ning didn't have time to think so much. In a dark environment, people's minds are prone to wandering.
Set your phone to power saving mode, close all background programs, lock the screen and put it aside. If you receive any particularly important message, it will be troublesome if you miss it.
She walked to the window. It was a relatively bright place here. Compared with the dark and cramped corner, it made people feel safer here.
The moon hangs high in the night sky, tens of thousands of stars are looming among the mountains, and clouds float across the sky from time to time, making the scene even more dreamy.
Jiang Ning had never seen a moon like this before, but this feeling made her feel familiar, as if a long time ago, the moon she and Gu Yuan saw at the beach was this big and bright.
"It's really beautiful. Never mind, I'll send it to Gu Yuan to see too."
Jiang Ning took a photo with his cell phone and sent it to Gu Yuan as quickly as possible, but the phone could not show even one ten-thousandth of the beauty of the place. The shock of what one saw with the naked eye was indescribable.
Oh, right! Polaroid!
Before setting off, Jiang Ning went out and bought the latest model of Polaroid camera. He hadn't taken a single photo since the start of the trip, so now was the time to use it.
She pointed the Polaroid camera at herself and could see her own figure in the very small viewfinder. Older models of Polaroid cameras did not have this function, only her latest model had it.
With a click, the shutter was pressed. The flash stood out in the dark environment. Jiang Ning didn't think about any poses or movements. He just leaned against the window and took a photo with the scenery behind the glass.
She firmly believes that only this most natural style can highlight the advantages of Polaroid. If you want to talk about composition and picture, you should use a camera instead of Polaroid.
Jiang Ning took out the photo paper. It would take some time for the Polaroid camera to develop. As he watched his own figure and the atmospheric night scene slowly appear on the small piece of paper, Jiang Ning felt that the money was well spent.
"Due to the special nature of this photosensitive paper, please use it up within 24 hours after unpacking. Otherwise, the waste will be borne by the user."
Jiang Ning had just received the Polaroid camera and had not had time to be happy when he saw these eye-catching words on the outer packaging. They were written with fluorescent paint so that people could see them clearly even in the dark.
"Okay, so you guys sell the camera and the photo paper together, that's why it's so expensive. Why didn't I think of that when I bought it?"
Jiang Ning cursed the manufacturer of this kind of photo paper in her heart, but in order to avoid unnecessary waste, she still took a few more selfies from different angles, and also took pictures of night scenes and plants from different angles, thus using up all the remaining ten pictures.
However, being expensive does have its advantages. The scenery recorded by a Polaroid lens is completely different from what you see with the naked eye. There is a magical feeling, which Jiang Ning calls - memory.
"Little girl, are you in the room?" Knock, knock, knock. A familiar voice sounded outside the door. "Auntie brought you some food. Can you come out and get it?"
Jiang Ning was still admiring the photos she had taken when she heard her aunt's voice. She put all the photos into a stack, put them on the table, and went to open the door.
The auntie was holding a flashlight and a thermos bucket, and it looked like she had come specially to bring her food.
Jiang Ning didn't have the courage to tell his aunt that he had already had dinner, but he still politely took it.
"Thank you, Auntie. It's a little dark outside. How about I take you home?"
Jiang Ning took the thermos bucket and could feel that the rice inside was still hot through the bucket.
Auntie waved her hand and said, "No, I can go back by myself. Eat the food while it's hot. It won't taste good if it gets cold."
Jiang Ning: "Okay, thank you, Auntie."
The aunt leaned close to Jiang Ning's ear and said to her in a mysterious voice, "Lock the door when you go to bed at night. Don't open it no matter who tells you to. Especially since there is a power outage tonight, remember, no one would ask a little girl for help if they have problems."
Jiang Ning felt that she was a little too concerned. After all, they were in a B&B, and all those security guards couldn't be just for show. But she still responded politely, "I understand."
The aunt turned on the flashlight and walked back. Jiang Ning watched her leave until she walked into her room.
The corridor was pitch black with only the green sign for the emergency passage emitting a faint light, which seemed quite scary indeed.
Jiang Ning shrank back, locked the door and opened the lid of the thermos. Inside were various rice and dishes, and there was even a soup at the bottom, all of which were hot.
"My aunt must have asked the kitchen staff of this restaurant to make it for her. They really put a lot of effort into it."
Jiang Ning was not hungry because she had just finished her meal, but the rice still tasted very fragrant, completely different from the taste of the grilled fish just now. It was a fresh fragrance that made her want to eat a few more bites.
Jiang Ning found a pair of chopsticks, picked up a bite of pork ribs, and then drank a mouthful of soup to wash down the rice. His stomach felt warm and comfortable.
Just after swallowing a mouthful of rice, there was a sudden noise from the glass. Jiang Ning felt her scalp tighten. After all, she was the only one in this huge homestay.
She looked in the direction of the sound. The scenery outside the window didn't change, only the clouds had changed shape.
They were just individual petals just now, but now they have turned into waves spreading out around the moon, making the sky look even more vast and empty, and inexplicably a little weird.
Jiang Ning was only a few inches away from the glass, and the feeling of fear spread even more deeply in her heart.
She walked over and closed the curtains. She didn't want to see the view outside the window even more than the darkness.
My cell phone is running out of battery, and I can’t keep the flashlight on all the time. There doesn’t seem to be any other emergency power source here.
"If I had known, I would have brought that large flashlight before coming here."
Jiang Ning began to blame himself in his heart again. Why did he have to make this trip? Isn't this just asking for trouble?
But it was too late to regret now. She could only pray silently in her heart, hoping that the call would come soon.
