Chapter 5: The Trap in the Ravine

The coach stopped in front of two small thatched huts.

The passengers got off the car one after another to breathe, Chen Tianyu and Liu Zichen also couldn't stand the bumps, it seems that Liu Zichen still seems to have a little motion sickness, after getting off the car, he vomited several mouthfuls of bile on the side of the road to feel a little comfortable, and the mountain road from Dali to Lijiang can be described as rugged.

They finally really experienced what it means to be a lofty mountain and a mountain road with eighteen bends, they have not been to the mountains, but they have really not seen such a steep and winding mountain road.

Liu Zichen squatted on the side of the road, Chen Tianyu was waiting with a thermos cup, the former heroine couldn't withstand such a big physiological reaction, she vomited a few times, but she didn't spit out anything, Chen Tianyu hurriedly handed her water to rinse her mouth, and finally stopped for a while.

Liu Zichen squatted on the side of the road panting, his chest rose and fell, and tears were about to pop out.

"Is it better?" Chen Tianyu asked softly, "Hehe, do you regret it?"

Liu Zichen shook his head decisively, "I don't regret it, I just let others see the joke." ”

Chen Tianyu raised his eyes and glanced around and smiled: "They are not much better...... I don't have time to laugh at you, I heard that people with motion sickness had better eat some sweets to replenish their strength, do you want to eat?"

Liu Zichen nodded obediently, Chen Tianyu hurriedly ran back to the car to get snacks, almost didn't faint from the smell in the car, and I don't know which guy who couldn't hold back actually vomited a big puddle next to the door ladder of the bus, and the stench overflowed the entire carriage, and the driver probably found out and scolded beside him.

Chen Tianyu pinched his nose, and finally found a small bag of cakes from his backpack, and hurriedly got out of the car, only to let out a long sigh of relief, which was also a coincidence, the angry driver directly carried a bucket of water and splashed it near the car door.

There was a sound of "bang", the filth was not washed away, but the dirty water splashed up sprayed Chen Tianyu's pants, the driver didn't seem to see it, and carried a bucket of water to the car door, Chen Tianyu dodged in a panic, but it was still difficult to escape the doom.

He couldn't help frowning, almost getting angry, but he was still somewhat restrained, and he held back his anger, after all, the driver was also performing the duty of cleaning, albeit rudely.

"Master, please be careful, there are still people here. Chen Tianyu saw that the driver went to pick up the third bucket of water, and a woman holding a child had been waiting for a long time, probably in a hurry, and he finally couldn't help but remind.

"It's all flashing!" the driver said unceremoniously, "Don't you see what I'm doing?...... XX...... TMD is dirty, don't take this car. Before he could finish speaking, another bucket of water slammed into the ladder with anger.

This time Chen Tianyu didn't even hide, seeing that half of his trouser legs were wet, the driver was obviously startled by his instantly fierce eyes, but he didn't dare to be presumptuous anymore, and muttered and complained and walked into the thatched house, probably returning the bucket.

The woman holding the child looked like a northeasterner, and when she saw this, she persuaded, "Big brother, go out and dissipate your anger." Chen Tianyu smiled a little bitterly, he nodded at the middle-aged woman, and said gently, "It's okay, it's dirty, you can get in the car." ”

The chubby middle-aged woman got into the car, and Chen Tianyu also walked back to Liu Zichen's side, wiped the water droplets on the cake packaging bag, and handed it to her.

Liu Zichen turned her head to take it, she looked at Chen Tianyu who was a little embarrassed and said, "What's wrong with you......?

"Don't mention it, it's not good to be out of school, and it's been repaired. Chen Tianyu said casually.

Liu Zichen couldn't help but be happy: "Who is so bold as to dare to repair a big hedgehog like you?"

Chen Tianyu smiled bitterly: "Hey, people are under the eaves, how dare you not bow your head." ”

Liu Zichen peeled off the package and said while eating: "It's strange enough." I don't know what day it is?" she ate something, and sure enough, she felt much better, and her eyes began to flow.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The two stood on the side of the road and walked around for a while, only to find that there was a small reservoir next to the road, the river was green, and there were some indescribable wildflowers blooming on both sides of the road, and there were a few small sparrows jumping on the ground.

Most of the passengers in the same car are middle-aged people, and at first glance they are from all over the world, and they stand or sit silently and eat their own dry food. In contrast, except for the two lively female students and a few children, Chen Tianyu and the two are still the youngest.

In front of the thatched house, there is a long wooden plank, very casually set up on two benches, on the wooden board are placed a dozen small cloth bags, the cloth bags contain several kinds of Chinese medicinal materials: wild gastrodia, wild maca, wild notoginseng, wild Coptis chinensis......

Liu Zichen took a piece of maca with great interest, sniffed it and asked curiously: "I heard that maca is a specialty here, is this really wild? ”

She looked at the small label in the cloth bag, 3 yuan/gram, if it is really wild, the price is fair.

"What is Maca?" Chen Tianyu was a little confused, he really hadn't heard of this kind of thing.

Liu Zichen glanced at him, "Lonely and unheard, haven't you? ”

Of course, Chen Tianyu didn't expect that this would be a "kidney tonic miracle medicine", and he was about to ask carefully, when he found that the two female students next to him were covering their mouths and stealing fun, which made him swallow the words back.

"Just look at it, don't really buy it, I've heard that there are a lot of fakes near tourist attractions, and they are all scams. Chen Tianyu reminded.

Liu Zichen sniffed every medicinal herb carefully before saying, "It should be true, but am I that stupid? How could I buy it here?" ”

The two left the medicine stall, and only a middle-aged woman in her forties and the two female students who were choosing gastrodia were left in front of the stall.

Those tourists who were sitting nearby glanced here from time to time, with a pretended indifference and strange look.

About a quarter of an hour later, the driver's loud voice sounded, beckoning everyone to get on the bus, and the tourists got up one after another, and after a period of rest, everyone's spirits were obviously much better. After getting on the train, there were more people chatting, and there was chirping in the carriage, but Chen Tianyu and Liu Zichen sat on the chair and closed their eyes to recuperate.

The driver was counting the people and found that there seemed to be two missing, so he started counting again.

The shrill voice of the middle-aged woman in her forties just now sounded: "Don't count. There were two girls who hadn't come back from shopping......"

The driver returned to the driver's seat with a blank face, started the bus casually, and finally some air conditioning came out.

There was a buzz in the carriage again, and this time many people asked the middle-aged woman what she had bought, and her words were full of evil taste and a bit of schadenfreude.

The middle-aged woman looked unhurried, "What are you laughing at? The medicinal herbs are very good, you see that the texture of these pieces of notoginseng I bought is not bad, and it is only more than 100 yuan......

As a result, there were more whispers to each other, and some even showed remorse on their faces.

At this moment, the two female students hurriedly ran out of the thatched hut, their faces were slightly pale, they had just stepped on the bus before the door was closed, the car started, the two did not stand firmly, almost fell, fortunately they did not get angry with the driver, just stroked their chests and kept panting.

The two girls walked back to the back row with difficulty and sat down, shocked for a while, and quite grateful to the driver for driving fast.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The coach continued to drive forward, and the road was still smooth.

Suddenly, a girl in the last row of the carriage burst into tears, at first the voice was relatively quiet, just sobbing, but as the carriage became quieter, the crying became more and more distinctly audible. Liu Zichen opened his eyes first, their seats were in the penultimate row, otherwise how could they be dizzy?

"What's going on?" Liu Zichen sat by the window, and she gently pushed Chen Tianyu.

Chen Tianyu's eyes didn't bother to open, and he said angrily: "I should have been deceived." ”

Liu Zichen glared at him fiercely and didn't speak again, this kind of thing is indeed common, and she is quite helpless.

Two female students sat in the last row, one of the fat girls was crying, and the companion next to her hurriedly handed her a tissue, "Momo, don't cry, eat a trench and grow wise......"

The girl named Momo cried more and more sadly: "But our money is gone, and it drags you down...... Why am I so careless......" The slender girl who was comforting next to her was silent.

The aunt who was sitting in the back row spoke: "Girl, what's wrong? The uncle next to him pulled the aunt and motioned her not to sprinkle salt on the wound, but the aunt glared back fiercely.

Suddenly cared about by others, the fat girl Momo seemed to open the conversation box suddenly, she finally found someone to talk to, took the aunt's hand and sobbed: "It's all those dead liars, dead liars who should kill a thousand knives, you said that I was a poor student who finally saved some money and ran over to see the world, saving money along the way, Auntie, do you say I'm easy? Why are these dead liars so inhumane?" My mother was not in good health and often couldn't sleep, and I saw that the wild gastrodia they sold was very good, and the price was reasonable, so I bought four or five, and who knew ......" The fat girl cried again.

The kind-hearted aunt hurriedly comforted: "Little girl, you are inexperienced, you see those of us who go south and north, who buys things halfway, especially the place where the long-distance bus pulls you to is a trap nine times out of ten, why are you so careless?"

"Didn't I see that the price was quite cheap...... It's only three dollars a gram, if it's really wild, it's much cheaper than the outside pharmacy, so I chose four or five at a moment's notice, and then the boss said to help me grind it into powder, I thought they were kind, and as a result... As a result, after grinding the powder, there were more than 1,000 grams, and the price was more than 3,000 yuan, and I was dumbfounded...... How can I have so much money as a student?"

Aunt Qi said: "How can there be more than 1,000 grams of three or four sun-dried gastrodia, that is definitely a pit person!"

"yes, I was stunned too...... I only had more than 1,000 yuan in my pocket, so I said no, the boss said no, I had to buy it if it was already ground into powder, otherwise we couldn't go, and we were both frightened!" The fat girl cried again, "Fortunately, my classmate still has more than 1,000 yuan on him, otherwise, we wouldn't be able to get out...... I'm really afraid that they will do other evil things, but they don't have any money......"

The slender girl next to her also said with palpitations: "It's really scary, they also took Momo's necklace away, saying that it was converted into 1,000 yuan...... That's when we escaped. As a result, I didn't even take the bag of gastrodia powder, which scared people to death!"

After listening to what they had just experienced, there was a sigh in the carriage, and they all sighed that people's hearts were sinister.

The fat girl Momo began to cry again, the more she cried, the more sad she became, and the people next to her persuaded her, but everyone went out, and no one dared to provoke this.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Suddenly-

"Master, stop!" a cold female voice sounded in the carriage.

The driver didn't answer, the car was driving well, how could the passenger stop when he said stop.

Liu Zichen couldn't listen to it anymore, she stood up, her face was not very good, and the tourists looked at this beautiful girl who had vomited just now in surprise, not knowing what she wanted to do.

"Girl, how can you go to the toilet in the middle of the road?" an old lady in the next seat subconsciously reminded, she thought according to common sense.

Liu Zichen didn't say a word, walked straight forward to the driver's seat, and said coldly to the driver: "Stop immediately, I have something to go down." ”

The driver didn't turn his head back, and he didn't pay attention to her at all, he has seen a lot of this kind of arrogant tourists, especially female tourists.

Chen Tianyu said to the fat girl with a wry smile: "Hello, please help me look at the bag." The fat girl nodded inexplicably, and Chen Tianyu came to the driver with Liu Zichen's handbag.

"Zichen, don't worry," he said softly.

Then he slowly took out his documents from his bag and shook them in front of the driver, and the word "procuratorate" was reflected by the sunlight on the other party's face, which was shiny and dazzling.

"Drive the car back!" Chen Tianyu said undoubtedly, and then put away the documents.

The driver was stunned for a moment, and only after a long time did he reluctantly slow down and turn the car around, and ten minutes later, the bus stopped in front of the thatched house again, but this time it was parked across the road.

Waiting for the car to stop and open the door, Liu Zichen and Chen Tianyu looked at each other and smiled.

"I'm here watching him. Liu Zichen said, "Be careful." ”

Chen Tianyu nodded silently, he walked out of the car quickly, and swaggered into the thatched house.

The two people in front of the thatched hut looked at the bus in a daze, not knowing what was going on.

After about 20 minutes, there was a chaotic noise from the thatched hut, and then it quickly returned to calm. It didn't take long for Chen Tianyu to walk out again, this time with a bag of brown powder in his hand, and his face was relaxed, as if nothing had happened.

After getting into the car, he said softly, "Master, let's go." Liu Zichen and the two walked back to their seats slowly and sat down.

The car was silent, no one could understand which of them was going out, the driver hesitated for a moment before restarting the car, and the bus slowly drove away from the thatched house.

Not long after, two strong men came out of the thatched hut, their faces were bruised and dejected, looking at the bus swaying and turning around, and one of them spat a mouthful of blood foam on the ground hatefully: "Damn, today is a bloody mold." ”

Another person thought for a moment: "Did we slaughter a little too hard this time and suffer retribution?"

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The bus drove smoothly forward, and it was quiet in the carriage.

Liu Zichen smiled at Chen Tianyu and helped him wipe the sweat and dust off his forehead.

"Hey, don't you tell me to stop being nosy this time?" Chen Tianyu teased.

Liu Zichen snorted: "What should be managed still has to be managed." ”

Chen Tianyu laughed, "You are right about what you say, you women!" he sighed sincerely.

"What's wrong with the woman?" Liu Zichen pouted, "Isn't it better than you men?"

"That's right, Woman!" Chen Tianyu quietly gave a thumbs up, and the two laughed happily.

Chen Tianyu restrained his smile, turned to the fat girl behind him, stretched out his finger and shhhed beside his mouth, the girl was stunned for a moment, and Chen Tianyu handed her the gastrodia powder in his hand casually.

"It's yours. He whispered, motioning for her to be silent.

"My ?......" the girl was puzzled.

"Yes, the owner of that shop just now happens to be a distant relative of mine, and he thinks it's not easy for you two students, so let me return the things to you. Chen Tianyu said lightly.

The fat girl took it in confusion and muttered, "Yes, yes? Thank you......"

"Don't say that, they can't stop you, oh, this is your necklace......" Chen Tianyu took out another dazzling platinum necklace from his bag, "There are two thousand yuan." "It's like magic, and he dazzles the two girls.

Chen Tianyu explained: "There are more than 370 grams of gastrodia powder in total, and the cost price is about 700 yuan. Speaking of which, they are also local medicine farmers, and it is not easy to do some medicinal herb trading, so I will give you back the money I overcharged, and they originally wanted to compensate for it, but I helped you refuse, and I ask you to understand......"

The fat girl didn't seem to react yet, and the slender girl next to her was obviously much smarter, and she hurriedly said, "No, no...... No compensation, that's fine. ”

The slender girl winked at the fat girl and helped her get it.

"Put things away, be careful next time. Chen Tianyu said lightly.

After speaking, he reclined down in his chair and continued to close his eyes. It took a long time to hear a mosquito-like voice behind him: "Thank you, brother!"

Chen Tianyu pretended not to hear it, and there was no sound behind him.

Liu Zichen laughed in a low voice: "Big flicker!"

Chen Tianyu turned his head and meowed at her: "Accomplice!" He also made a funny grimace.

Liu Zichen gently stroked her hair, at this moment, her heart was quiet and full of a sense of steadfastness.
