Chapter 224: On the Road
Hua Ou looked in the direction of his finger, almost not sitting on the ground, wasn't that the opposite direction when they came all the way? Did they really go wrong?
Gu Yandong and Shu Jianhua also saw the actions of the officers on duty, and after they reacted, they couldn't accept it at the first time, but Shu Jianhua quickly calmed down and said, "Then do you know the direction of this road?" For example, what is the direction of the road to Harbin city that you are referring to? ”
The attendant still didn't look back and said, "It's the north over there, and you go out of this toll booth and go south in your current direction." ”
Hua Ou trembled and said, "Thank you then, we still have to hurry, so we will go first." ”
As he spoke, he pulled them out of the service station together, and when he got to the car, Hua Ou asked: "Now I am completely confused, the place where I have lived for more than 20 years will still recognize the wrong direction, and now you say, what should we do?" ”
Gu Yandong is a man of action, and he said without thinking: "What else can I do?" Go back, whether it's right or wrong, you have to try it once, how do you know if it's right or wrong if you don't try? ”
But Shu Jianhua asked cautiously: "This staff on duty is so strange, what kind of service attitude is this?" If you don't get up to greet us when you see us coming, you don't even look back when you talk to us, just watch TV? Was he protesting against his leader letting him stay on duty? ”
This is indeed a suspicious point, Hua Ou and Gu Yandong are too scared, and the other is in a hurry when they can't figure out the situation, so they don't think of this at all, so Gu Yandong asked, "Then what should I do?" Hua Ou was stunned, he couldn't help, this attendant was too strange to be trusted, where are we going? You can't stay here to accompany this attendant for the New Year, right? ”
Shu Jianhua said: "Hua Ou, Gu Yandong, you can confirm that the fact that we went to Hua Qi's house to eat at their house must be real, not our hallucination?" Let's go up from the entrance of Huajia Village to the highway, surely we didn't choose the wrong direction? Also, is the sign in Huajia Village we saw real? It's winter, and it's the middle of nowhere, and the roadside references are pretty much the same, could it be that we're mistaken? ”
What Shu Jianhua said is very reasonable, it is very likely that they have seen something wrong, or misunderstood something, which is why their current situation has happened.
In the end, Shu Jianhua decided to go back and see if he could find the intersection of Huajia Village where they came out at that time, and walk again.
This is easy to do, there is an odometer on the car, just look at how many miles you have walked. Gu Yandong can be regarded as a science man, he is very sensitive to numbers, he will definitely remember it, so he confirmed the mileage and set off.
But when they reached the expected place, they couldn't find any intersection, and when they came out of Huajia Village, they were in the same position, but there was no intersection on the side of the road where they could turn.
At this time, don't talk about Hua Ou, even Gu Yandong and Shu Jianhua are a little scared, even if they can't find the right way, shouldn't they even find the way out? At this time, Gu Yandong was already impatient, so he said: "Let's keep walking, we will always find somewhere in front." ”
The car belonged to Gu Yandong, and his proposal was also right, so Hua Ou and Shu Jianhua had no objection, Gu Yandong stepped on the accelerator and drove forward quickly.
But after driving a long way, there are always more than ten kilometers, but there is nothing ahead, and there is no Harbin urban area as mentioned by the service station duty officer, and there are no other toll stations.
According to Huaou, Huajia Village is only 10 kilometers away from the city of Harbin, so they can almost walk to the other side of Harbin after driving a distance of more than 10 kilometers.
The story may seem long, but it's actually a short process. Hearing this, Hua Qi seemed to be starting to despair, she couldn't find the place she wanted to go at both ends of the road, and the road would not change, would it become circular unconsciously? Hua Qi obviously refused to believe it.
"And where are you now? Are there any references to the roadside? Hua Qi asked.
"I don't know, everything on the side of the road is the same, I can't see the difference at all, there are no signs in front and back, the odometer doesn't work here, I can't tell where this is." Hua Ou said frustratedly.
"What about gasoline? You've walked so much, you're bound to consume gasoline, and the amount of gasoline consumed plus the number of miles you have traveled, you should always know how far you've gone, right? Hua Qi asked depressedly.
Hua Ou reacted at this time, and after consulting Gu Yandong, he said: "The odometer shows that we walked twenty-eight kilometers, we walked five kilometers from the village entrance to the toll station, and came back five kilometers, and then walked another eighteen kilometers, as for gasoline, the fuel tank was full when we came, but now only half is left." ”
"Stay where you are now, I'll go look for you now!" Hua Qi said.
If they were not in the wrong direction, they had indeed reached the city by now, but they were still on the road, and they couldn't see anything around. Then the joke is bigger, are they lost, or are they hitting the wall with a ghost? Or did you simply fall for the illusion and have already reached your destination, but your eyes can't see?
Hua Qi took Hua Rui's car to the entrance of the village, and on the left was the road leading to the city, but according to Hua Ou, they first walked five kilometers to the left, found the toll booth, and then turned back, drove back five kilometers back to the original point, and found nothing at the original point, and then moved forward, that is, the right side of the intersection for eighteen kilometers, at this time they may not know where they were.
If you want to find them, you have to follow their route for eighteen kilometers, so she instructed Hua Rui to drive to the right.
But after walking eighteen kilometers and arriving at the location Hua Ou said, Hua Qi and the others did not see Hua Ou and their car.
Hua Qi called Hua Ou as soon as possible and asked, "Where are you?" I followed you and went in the opposite direction for eighteen kilometers, but there was nothing around. ”
"No way, we haven't moved a little bit since you told me to stop, we're going to stay where we are!" Hua Ou said excitedly.
Eighteen kilometers, Hua Qi they passed a toll booth on the way, which was also free and open as Hua Ou said, Hua Qi got off the lane service station and saw that there were two people inside, one of whom said: "Because it is the Chinese New Year's Eve, people are at home for the New Year, so there is no car passing here all night." ”
