Story 26: The Ghost Village (4)
The next road conditions are not good, but with the driving skills of Ah and other people, who knows that walking, the normal road, but abruptly stopped in front!
"Where's the road?" After Ah waited to stop the car, he was also blindfolded, looking left and right.
Liu Gang got out of the car to check it, and then said to the other three: "It seems that this road has been repaired here!" ”
Zhiming said suspiciously: "What about the truck that overtook us last night?" Now that there is no way, where can it go? Wait, didn't you see any forks in the road just now? ”
But Ah Wait said with great certainty: "No way, if there is a fork in the road, I will definitely find that both sides of this broken road are full of dense plants, and there is no other road that can drive through trucks!" ”
Liu Gang also nodded and said that if there was another road, it would be impossible for him to be invisible to himself sitting in the co-pilot.
The four of them were a little frustrated around the car, and suddenly, Zhiming shouted, "Come and see!" ”
When they walked up to him, they found a gravel-paved path, which was covered by lush vegetation, but there were no weeds on it, which proved that the path was often walked.
It was impossible for the car to move forward now, and several people looked at their mobile phones, but there was no signal at all, so the four of them could only put all the equipment on their backs and walked forward along the trail on foot, starting a real adventure.
Some of the relatively heavy equipment is carried by three boys, Chunjiao is only responsible for getting some food, the slope of this gravel road is very gentle, so so far, everyone is not struggling to walk.
It's just that one thing is strange, that is, I haven't met anyone on this path all the time, and normally I should have met the villagers who live here.
But there was nothing, and it was very quiet all the way, and we didn't even hear a bird's call, so we walked all the way, and finally at the end of the path, we saw a valley.
A few people happily quickened their pace, and when they walked to the entrance of the valley, they saw a small smoky village, located in the valley, and at the entrance of the valley, there was a large stone with three big characters engraved on it, "Nameless Village".
"What a nameless village! Chunjiao, your information is not accurate, didn't you say that there would be a Mantou Mountain B&B before arriving at the "Nameless Village"? Why didn't you encounter it? ”
Chunjiao was a little embarrassed and said, "I don't know why, but my friends told me that when they came, there was a homestay." ”
Zhiming hurriedly played a round for Chunjiao and said, "Maybe we are going the wrong way," and after speaking, he pointed to Ah and said, "It's not all about you!" Didn't see the fork in the road! ”
Ah Wait said with an aggrieved face: "Damn, it's really snowing in June, I drove hard along the way, and I didn't fall behind, and it was up to me to take the wrong road!" ”
Chunjiao looked at Zhiming and Ah Waiting for you, and I said a word, and thought that these two people were really angry, so she said to them: "Okay, okay, it's okay to blame me?" ”
Liu Gang said to Chunjiao with a smile: "Don't bother with these two people, let's keep walking, they still have the strength to play poor here, which means that they are not tired!" After speaking, he and Chunjiao walked quickly to the village.
Zhiming and Ah waited no longer to speak, and hurriedly chased after them.
After a few people walked into the village, they found that the village was also very quiet, and they didn't meet any villagers along the way, Zhiming thought to himself: Could it be that they came too early, but don't they all say that rural people have to get up early to work? It's past 10 o'clock now, and it's impossible not to get up! So the four of them continued on their way......
The buildings in this village are all blue bricks and green tiles, and sure enough, as Chunjiao's friend said, they still maintain the old style of buildings in the last century.
From time to time, one or two chicks would run out of the fence, and when they saw a few of them strange, they ran back in a panic.
Although I didn't see any villagers, the chimneys of every house were emitting wisps of cooking smoke, which proved that there were people in the house and they were cooking.
Liu Gang, as the team leader, first stepped forward, knocked on the door of one of the houses and said, "Hello, we are trekkers who are here to hike, and we want to rest here for a while!" ”
But after he finished shouting, there was no reaction in the house, and he didn't even agree, Liu Gang felt strange, so he was about to push the door and walk in, but was stopped by Zhiming.
"Gangzi, it's not good for us to go in like this, I heard that the more remote the place, the stronger the people's customs, and it's better to be polite." Zhiming said.
Liu Gang nodded, but still walked in, the other three were waiting outside the house, who Liu Gang didn't go in for a while, he walked out and said to everyone: "Let's go to the house, there is no one in this house." ”
The group went to the second house, Liu Gang was the same as just now, first shouted inside, no one answered and walked in, the result was still the same, there was a fire in the stove, and rice was cooking in the pot, but there was no one in the house.
Ah Wait felt that this village was very strange, so he said to the others, "Why is this village so weird? Everyone is cooking, but no one is ...... You see, it's the truck! Halfway through his words, he was surprised to find the army-green truck that had passed them last night.
The others looked in the direction pointed by Ah and others, and sure enough, it was the truck, but how did it come here? And who drove it? The path that the four of them walked on just now, not to mention a truck, even Zhiming's small off-road car can't be driven!
A few people walked to the truck curiously, wanting to see if there was a driver inside, but there was nothing in the car just like the villagers' houses just now!
Liu Gang touched the engine with his hand, and then said to everyone: "The engine of the car is still hot, and this truck should have just stopped here for a short time." ”
"Then let's look around, the driver must be around here," Zhiming suggested.
The four of them searched for a long time near the truck, but in the end they found nothing, and several people were tired and hungry, so they had to rest in place first, thinking that they might wait a while and then see the villagers here.
Everyone else was sitting in the place to rest, only Liu Gang had been paying attention to this old-fashioned army green card, and his face was a little heavy.
Zhiming saw that his face was not good, so he asked him what was wrong? Liu Gang waved and said, "It's okay, maybe I'm thinking too much." ”
After resting for half an hour and eating something, we began to discuss whether to go back or continue walking. Originally, they planned to replenish some food and water when they went to the homestay, and then continue to walk towards Mantou Mountain, but now they haven't found the homestay, and they haven't met any villagers, so they really don't know if they should continue walking.
The other three simply looked at Liu Gang, and he also smiled bitterly and said: "It's almost afternoon now, whether it's going forward or back, the time is not right."
At the speed at which we came, it was almost dark to get out and get in the car, and if we went forward, we would have no food supplies, and we would run out of food if we didn't go far. ”
