Chapter 186: On the way
The words "ghost gate" rolled into my stomach like a stone, causing a dull pain in my chest, and I didn't recover for a long time, until the car drove onto a small road, the road was uneven, bumped, and my head slammed on the window, and then I came back to my senses.
Tang Kai saw that I didn't speak, and the person was also in a trance, and asked with some worry: "Wu Chao, are you okay?" ”
"It's okay, it's okay." I chuckled a few times into the rearview mirror to hide my panic.
Tang Kai saw that I was fine, so he didn't ask, and continued to talk about the topic he just had: "Don't be afraid, although it is said that Nala is called 'Ghost Gate', but after all, it was shouted by the locals, how bitter this place was at that time, and there was no way to go to the place where nature was magical, it looked terrifying, and the old ancestor had a rich imagination, and shouted and shouted." ”
I don't know if it's the effect of these words, I feel more comfortable and inexplicably more comfortable, turn around and take out my mobile phone, and continue to try to call the crane. It was a miracle that the phone call could be made before, but no matter how much I dialed it now, I couldn't get through.
Tang Kai saw that I kept pressing my phone with my head down, and said with a smile: "Don't call, the signal ahead is not good, wait a few days to try again in the small village at the mountain gate." ”
I ignored his words, still keeping my head down and repeating the movements in my hands.
His mouth opened and he smiled like a flower, as if I was doing some kind of funny show. "Wu Chao, you really haven't changed this point for so many years. Do you remember that I was late for another date with you, and you called me more than a hundred times, and you didn't lose your temper until I called back more than a hundred calls. ”
I was stunned for a moment, I didn't expect him to remember the events of many years ago clearly. At that time, I was just with Tang Kai, and I don't know if it was the hypocrisy unique to little girls. I like to have my own temperament in everything I do.,What time you say it will be at what time it is.,You can't delay for a minute.。
Naturally, Tang Kai was also a young man at the time, his blood was strong, and he could bear the hypocrisy like this, but he couldn't stand it if he was so hypocritical every day. After all, besides me, he also has games and friends to spend time on. Once again, I finally couldn't help but mention breaking up with me. I had a good face and left at that time. I held the shelf for several days, and I was sad when I was alone.
At that time, who would know what kind of life he would encounter in the future. Who would know that he would embark on such a road to the "ghost gate".
"That friend of yours is not an ordinary friend, I see that you are in a hurry."
"Just a friend." I said.
He didn't want to say it, so he didn't ask. By this time, the car had already left the bumpy trail. Got on the road. Seeing that the road in front of me was endless, I actually gave birth to a bit of sadness. Unconsciously, I was a little sleepy.
But in someone's car, I'm embarrassed to go to bed so early, after all, it's very tiring to drive at night. I patted myself on the face and tried to cheer myself up.
"Are you now from the same company as Sao Bao?" I took the initiative to ask.
"Sassy bag?" Tang Kai was a little confused, but he quickly reacted. "You mean Wei Xiuwen. It turns out that he still has such a name. ”
"We work for a company and he's kind of my boss. It's also half a bosom friend, I especially like the photos I took, and we got acquainted with each other after coming and going. You know, I'm not one of those people who can do things quietly in the office, and as soon as there's something out there that attracts me, I'll run over to see what is going on. ”
"That's ......," I muttered, and he listened to it.
"For so many years, I have also traveled all over the country, the inherent scenic spots have been commercialized, I want to take pictures of real natural things, I can only run to the inaccessible places, I have been there before, and I have some friendship with the people in the village, this trip, not only want to take pictures of the snow scene, but also friends in the village told me that there are new things."
"What's new? What's new? ”
"Hmm...... I don't know the specifics, but it must have something to do with photography anyway. Oh yes, did you tell your parents this time, I remember your parents are baby, you didn't go back to City C to work, it was really unexpected for me to not go back to work in City C. ”
I thought there was more to your surprise, but I just didn't want to talk about it. As for my parents, it wasn't until he brought it up now that I remembered how long it had been since I had called home.
"Huh?"
"You know......," I said with a sigh, and I had already begun to make up stories in my stomach, "my editorial office is dedicated to collecting strange people and strange things, and once again I found a strange man in a robe in the city, and I have known each other for a long time. Later, he suddenly said that he was going to Nalagu to find some immortals, and I saw that there was news again, so I made an appointment with him to go together, no, the guy suddenly shook his head and ran away, and he didn't wait for me. ”
Tang Kai listened to my words and nodded thoughtfully, as if he was filtering this information in his head. He is a typical engineering man, and it was quite surprising for me to suddenly run out of business to do photography.
"It's not too early, you can sleep now. There are a few cushions under the car, which are quite soft, you rest on your body, if you are bumpy, you can cushion it, I will call you when it is dawn, and we will go to breakfast together. ”
These words hit my heart, today I am already sleepy, after the extreme mental tension, all that is left is fatigue. I leaned down and felt under the seat, and sure enough, I pulled out several cushions, inflatable, cotton, and all kinds of shapes, and unexpectedly found a blanket.
Tang Kai is really a person who often treks through mountains and rivers, and he is really well prepared, I thought to myself.
The temperature plummeted at night, and although the air conditioning was turned on in the car, it still made people feel cowered. I put my luggage away, laid out the blanket, got into it, took out my phone, and saw that it was nearly twelve o'clock.
Tang Kai's off-road vehicle was large, like a tank, and the back seat was spread out in a row, which was like a small bed. I lay down on it with joy and was about to turn around to sleep, but suddenly something was put on my calf bone, and I felt like I had been beaten up, and I was in tears. But I didn't make a sound, I was afraid that I would attract Tang Kai's attention again and annoy him.
After scolding silently with my mouth open, I rubbed my calf bone, which had already been bruised. Reach out and pick up the thing that hit me. If you think about it, my luggage is under the seat, where is the mess that disturbs my dreams.
Before his hand touched the hard object, he heard a rustling sound. My hand paused, and suddenly remembered the plastic bag and the plastic bag Bian Ruohan handed me before leaving, and the bag also reminded me not to open it in advance, and to look at it after I got on the road. I forgot about it.
I bounced out of my seat. I reached out and grabbed the heavy plastic bag, thinking that it was hard to contain iron, and I was afraid that I would lack iron and anemia in the mountains. Make it up to me?
As I thought so, I had already pulled the knot on the bag. This one made me cry and laugh, and it was full of wrenches, hammers, screwdrivers, and the like. Sao Bao sent me his own toolbox.
Rummaging through it again, it was a small medicine box. The variety of medicines in it is quite complete, and there are some feminine products stuffed in the corner. I smiled secretly, this should be Hanhan's attention, the girl is careful. Will notice places that men don't expect.
Further inside, it was almost at the bottom, and it seemed to be a cowhide envelope underneath. I reached out and took the envelope out. There was also a note on it, and Sao Bao's handwriting immediately jumped out.
"That's right. I can't accompany you on this trip, you have to be careful when you go by yourself. I heard that the aborigines of Nala Gu listened to the fierce and gave you something to defend yourself. Oh yes, you put the contents of the envelope away. Ruohan and I can be together, most of it is your credit, since you have helped me, I, as a big brother, must also help you. Come on! Hold on! Tang Kai is a good person, I can see it! Waiting for your good news! ”
I couldn't figure out what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd. But when I took the envelope, pinched it up and down, and pinched something like a ring, I immediately understood the little Jiujiu in his heart.
When this trip is over, I'm going to have to kill him. No, Han Han is here, disabled, well, anyway, there is already a back, and it must be disabled.
However, in addition to the particularly "dirty" thing in the envelope, the rest was some money and some things like cards, notes, etc. I continued to use my phone's lights to look at the words, the strange symbols and strokes, which swept away my previous resentment towards him, and in turn brought endless questions. What are these things?
I think that Tang Kai often walks from here, so he should know a little more. It's just that it's so late, it's not appropriate to disturb him anymore, and those crooked words and pictures, like hypnotics, make me sleepy, I rearranged the plastic bag of things, put on a blanket and finally lay down.
As soon as the eyelids touched, sleepiness surged in. I was dazed and suddenly a question came to my mind.
"Is this the way to go to Nalagu......"
Tang Kai obviously noticed that I hadn't slept yet, thought about it and said: "Yes, this is the road, most tourists take this road, and the other roads are too difficult to walk, the car can't drive, and it is even more difficult to go directly, so you should go this way." ”
"That's good, then tomorrow, maybe you can see the crane......"
I don't know if I'm saying the second sentence to Tang Kai or to myself, my voice sounds like a dream, so weak that I can't even hear it clearly, and I ran to report to Zhou Gong in a blink of an eye. Seeing that I was already like this, Tang Kai simply stopped talking, reached out and took out a can of Red Bull on the side, and took a big sip with his neck tilted.
On such a quiet and cold night, there was hardly any special sound from the car driving on the straight road. Tang Kai has long been commonplace, but I am still in my dreams, worried about the future that this path will bring me.
Is it a bright light, or a bottomless abyss?
****
When I woke up, it was already past eight o'clock in the morning. The car stopped in front of the small shop on the side of the road, and there was no shadow of Tang Kai in the driver's seat. I rubbed my eyes in a daze, and the sun was shining so hard that I couldn't keep them open.
Looking out from the car, the world seems to be covered with a layer of cellophane, vague and invisible. I reached out and gently brushed my hand on the glass, and my vision was clear. This means that the temperature is already below freezing.
I don't know if it's because of the lack of pollution here, the sky is as blue as the background of a country photo studio, the difference is that it's very clear. When I was a child, I always saw people compare the sky to the sea and a lake, but I don't understand what the old man thinks when I look at the dirty top. It wasn't until I saw this refreshing blue in person that I had a first-hand experience.
I immediately rolled down the window to get some fresh air. But all of a sudden, the cold air drilled into the trachea, and the organs immediately spasmed. I kept coughing through the window until I had tears coming out, and I still felt a little uncomfortable in my throat.
At this time, I noticed that Tang Kai was walking towards the car. The first meeting in so many years couldn't be counted at all on that dark night last night, and I saw him wearing military pants and a jacket, his shoes were tied firmly, and his hair was braided into strands, and then he was trapped with a headband, wrapped in a turban, and looked at his back like an African.
Naturally, his skin has also become swarthy under the perennial exposure to the sun, and he has completely lost the appearance of a creamy student when he first entered college.
"Why did you pull the window down, it's cold." Tang Kai saw that I was coughing badly, so he walked into the car and closed my window, "Now you can't stand it, and it's even more difficult to go any further." The altitude is getting a little bit higher, and if you have altitude sickness, go back early. ”
When he said this, I held back a breath in my heart, and I just wanted to have a seizure, but I coughed frequently, Tang Kai shook his head, and reached out to hand over breakfast.
Originally, after waking up, there was some pantothenic acid in my stomach, and when I saw breakfast, I saw the savior first. But I took it and looked at it, and it was the same thing as a fritter, yellow, but it was very wilting. When I took a bite, it didn't taste good, and when I got a few pieces of vegetables inside, I had a little bit to eat*.
"Miss Wu, don't dislike this thing. When you get to the front, you probably won't be able to eat vegetables. ”
This call made me think that he was the Tang Kai who no one in the university looked at. But I'm not familiar with the situation, so I'm right to listen to him. Looking at the stiff yellow dough, I still took several bites and almost choked up.
"Yes." He smiled, "Oh yes, I have porridge here, I forgot to give it to you." ”
I looked at the porridge and suddenly wanted to stuff it into his nose.
"Oh yes, can you help me see, what is this?" After eating, I took out those strange cards and stretched them out to show Tang Kai. "Saobao gave it to me, saying it was useful."
When Tang Kai saw it, the smile just now disappeared, and it was replaced by a puzzled face: "Is this really from Xiuwen for you?" (To be continued.) )
ps: I'm sorry, dear friends, today's emergency situation, I can only change it, and I'll make it up to you in a few days, good night!
