Chapter 42: The Highway of Death

At the beginning, Wei Yan was always excited, not only took pictures of the beautiful scenery outside with his mobile phone, but also carried an ultra-thin notebook with him, and tapped a few times on the keyboard from time to time, Xu Ran glanced at it and saw that this guy was writing a suspenseful adventure novel called "Walker Record".

It wasn't until two or three hours later that the guy's excitement had passed, and he began to take a nap, and after a while he fell asleep.

Xu Ran looked at the scenery outside, and there was a feeling of returning to nature in his mind, and he felt a little more peaceful in his heart when he traveled through this kind of continuous highway with clouds and smoke and mountains.

The sun quickly went up and down again, and Xu Ran casually found a hotel and stopped. Looking at Wei Yan, who was asleep on the co-pilot, he regretted taking this guy out a little, sighed lightly, patted Wei Yan who was traveling in the world, Xu Ran opened the car door and jumped out of the car.

"Guard! We'll stay here for one night first and leave tomorrow morning. ”

At this time, Wei Yan stepped out of the car in a daze, looked around blankly and asked Xu Ran, "Where is this?" ”

Xu Ran took the lead in walking in the direction of the hotel, and replied without looking back: "Liangguang area." With that, he walked straight into the hotel.

Wei Yan shook his dazed head, and then followed.

This is a slightly high-end hotel in the township, although the decoration can't keep up with the big city, but the most important thing is that it is convenient to park here, so Xu Ran will choose this hotel.

After putting away the luggage, Xu Ran and Wei Yan went out to find food.

In the end, I chose a nearby restaurant and sat down.

When the boss heard that they were from out of town, he knew that they were from out of town, so he treated them very warmly, and said the local specialties and served them.

After eating, the boss saw that there were no customers in the store, so he ran to Xu Ran's side to chat.

"Young man, you're from out of town." The boss is a middle-aged man in his forties, of average height, a little fat, and a little oily on his face, which is estimated to be the case with people who work in the kitchen all year round.

Wei Yan nodded and said, "Just listen to our accent." ”

The middle-aged boss nodded thoughtfully, said an "oh" word, and stopped talking.

Xu Ran seemed to see that the restaurant owner seemed to have something to say to him. So he smiled and said, "This uncle, do you smoke?" Then he took out a cigarette and gave it to the hotel owner.

He glanced at the cigarette handed over by Xu Ran and put it in his mouth.

Xu Ran helped him light a cigarette by the way, and then took one in his mouth, lit the cigarette, took a deep breath, and spit out a long white smoke.

I saw the owner of the hotel take a deep breath and puff out white smoke from his nostrils, "Actually, not far from the town, there is a road called the Highway of Death, and there will be a major traffic accident from July to August, I see that you are outsiders, so I remind you, don't take that road." ”

Wei Yan listened for a while, and seemed to be particularly interested in this kind of strange thing, so he asked the hotel owner: "Why can't you go that way, is there a demon or a monster?" ”

The hotel owner seemed to be particularly sensitive to this ghost word, he looked around, and found that no one was paying attention to this side, so he whispered to Wei Yan: "Young man, you can't talk nonsense, it's very effective." After saying that, the owner of the hotel trembled and stood up.

Seeing this, Xu Ran glared at Wei Yan, and then said to the hotel owner, "I don't know which road leads in that direction." ”

Just listened, and the hotel owner didn't look back and said: "The direction to Yunnan." ”

After hearing the words of the hotel owner, Xu Ran and Wei Yan looked at each other at the same time.

"How could it be so coincidental." Wei Yan muttered.

"Let's go back to the hotel first and see if there is any other route." Xu Ran said.

"Lao Xu! How did you become superstitious. Wei Yan said: "We are the leaders of the new era, and you believe that there is no scientific basis for this." ”

Xu Ran saw the meaning of Wei Yan's words, "Do you really want to see it, or do you have no subject matter to write about." ”

"Well, this one!" Wei Yan was in a commotion, and saw Xu Ran walking outside the door first.

"Hey! Lao Xu, you wait for me" After speaking, Wei Yan chased after him.

Back at the hotel, Xu Ran took out his mobile phone and looked at the map on his phone.

At this time, Wei Yan also sat next to Xu Ran, knocking melon seeds in his mouth, and glanced at Xu Ran's mobile phone screen from time to time.

"Lao Xu, don't look at it, from here to Yunnan, there is only one way to go, I think it's better to follow the original route, which can not only save time, but also unlock the secret of the road of death."

"You're a crow's mouth." Xu Ran turned around, turned his back, and didn't let Wei Yan see the phone screen.

"It's not the same horizontally or vertically, I heard the rumors here before I came here." Wei Yan pursed his lips and muttered to himself.

"Oh" Xu Ran nodded, "No wonder you kid has to come along, it turns out that the drunkard doesn't mean to drink." ”

Wei Yan smacked his lips and put the melon seeds in his hand on the table: "Anyway, you have to pass by sooner or later, so I'll go by the way to see what the hell is going on." ”

Xu Ran smiled helplessly: "Haven't you heard, curiosity will kill cats?"

Wei Yantian said shamelessly, "But we are human"

"Get out," Xu Ran scolded, "I wouldn't have taken you if I had known." ”

Wei Yan saw Xu Ran raise his fist, and smiled: "I'm mixed!" I'll get out of here. ”

Then he ran back to his room with a puff of smoke.

Wei Yan is right, there is indeed only one road from here to Yunnan, and in order to avoid people's eyes, Xu Ran chose it himself. Occasionally, Wei Yan didn't have any hints, and the path he took was all chosen by himself.

"How does this guy know which way I'm going?"

After thinking for a moment, he could only blame it on providence, and fell asleep on the bed.

Nothing was said all night.

The next morning, at five o'clock, Xu Ran had just finished brushing his teeth when he heard someone knocking on the door.

The person who could knock on his door at this time must be Wei Yan.

So Xu Ran wiped the water on his face and went over to open the door.

Sure enough, as soon as the door opened, I saw Wei Yan standing outside the door, looking at Xu Ran sleepily.

As soon as he saw that it was Wei Yan, Xu Ran was angry in his heart: "Wait a minute, you drive me to sleep." ”

Wei Yan wiped his hazy eyes, snorted, and said to Xu Ran: "My driving skills are not good, so you should drive." ”

"Oh," Xu Ran stretched out his voice, "Then you can go back to sleep directly"

As soon as he heard that Xu Ran wouldn't let him go, this guy immediately woke up: "Don't, I suddenly remembered that my driving skills are first-class." ”

Xu Ran rolled his eyes at Wei Yan, the expression on his face was full of contempt.

After a while, the two of them had a simple breakfast and got into the car.

Sitting in the driver's seat, Wei Yan stiffened his neck and said to Xu Ran: "Lao Xu, let's let you drive, I'm a little scared." ”

This guy swore last night that he believed in science, and now it's his turn to say he's scared again.

"Scared," Xu Ran glanced at Wei Yan, "Didn't you say that you believe in science, now it's time for you to behave." ”
