Chapter Thirty-Four: A Midsummer Night

Fangshan is located at the junction of the North China Plain and the Taihang Mountains, with hills and mountains in the northwest and plains in the southeast. According to Zhao Haipeng, the place of change is north of Zhoukoudian Town, which is surrounded by mountain roads, and as long as you take the wrong fork in the road, it will be delayed for a lot of time. Chen Mengsheng and Kui Lan had no choice but to get out of the car and walk along the roadside shop to ask if they had seen any moving cars three days ago, but they really asked how many big cars had driven in the direction of Xizhuang. It seems that the car is equipped with furniture and other items, so it must have been moved.

Chen Mengsheng immediately contacted Zhao Haipeng after confirming the news, but the signal in the mountains was surprisingly poor, and the mobile phone had no signal after saying less than three sentences. When Kui Lan saw this situation, she immediately drove the car to the nearest gas station, and she went to refuel and asked Chen Mengsheng to go into the gas station duty room to make a call. In this way, the matter was finally explained clearly, and Zhao Haipeng went to contact the local street police station to check if there were any new residents near Xizhuang in the past few days, and Chen Mengsheng would be notified as soon as there was a result......

With Zhao Haipeng's help, Chen Mengsheng and Kui Lan have a bottom in their hearts. Kui Lan followed the navigation to Xizhuang, and asked Chen Mengsheng anxiously: "What if the Zhang family refuses to forgive me?" ”

Chen Mengsheng looked at her worried look and said: "If you come, you will be safe, rather than worrying all day long, it is better to untie this knot for yourself." ”

Kui Lan said to herself in a voice as thin as a mosquito: "I'm not afraid of you anymore, even if they want to curse me, I will admit it......"

"Miss Quilan, what are you talking about?" Chen Mengsheng asked puzzled.

"Didn't say anything, oh, I mean, I don't know what your plans are for the future?" Kui Lan asked with an idea.

Chen Mengsheng watched the rugged mountain road rushing away outside the car window, confused and unsure of what would happen in the future. Chen Mengsheng said calmly: "I don't know, I just hope to find my junior sister, and I haven't thought about the others." ”

Kui Lan bit her lip and said, "What if you can't find her?" Do you know where she is? How long have you been separated? ”

Kui Lan's words hit Chen Mengsheng's death hole, Chen Mengsheng showed a painful expression on his face, and said faintly: "I don't know where she is now, we have been separated for too long, too long......" Kui Lan saw that he looked lost and depressed, so he didn't ask much, and drove quietly with a touch of sunset, and finally disappeared behind the rocks......

"This is Xizhuang, here we are." Kui Lan stopped the car, hesitated for a while, but got out of the car and followed Chen Mengsheng to inquire about the news of the Zhang family.

Chen Mengsheng got out of the car and asked the passers-by, "Uncle, ask you something......

"This aunt, may I ask if there is a new family in this neighborhood......

"......" Chen Mengsheng asked a few passers-by in a row, but they were all eaten and closed.

Kui Lan shook her head and pulled Chen Mengsheng and said, "You can't do this, your accent has a southern accent that they can't understand, you just wait here, I'll ask if you see me." ”

Kui Lan looked left and right in front of a few tricycle drivers who were walking to the side of the road and were playing cards in their spare time, and when the drivers saw someone coming, they hurriedly put down their cards and asked, "Girl, where are you going?" ”

"Masters, do you know where the people who moved here a few days ago live? Whoever leads the way, I'll pay for the tea. Kui Lan said with a smile.

When the cart puller heard the tea money, he immediately said, "Are there any people who have moved here?" How did I not know? ”

"Go, go, go. You know how to play cards every day, and a few days ago, someone moved through here, but they didn't live in Zhuangzi. ”

"I know this matter best, the newly moved family lives in the back mountain of Xizhuang. The cart couldn't drive there, and an old man found a number of three-wheelers to help him unload the cart that day. The old man was very generous, and gave an extra fifty per person. ”

Kui Lan smiled: "Master, do you want to lead the way?" ”

"Hey, I said that the girl is getting dark today, I'm ready to go home for dinner, more than 20 miles of mountain roads are not easy to walk, and you can only get there after the mountains." Otherwise, I'll take you there tomorrow, and you can have a meal on the Zhuangzi and sleep soundly. The tricycle driver pointed to the dim sky and said, since the driver had said so, Kui Lan couldn't help it, so he drew a bill and thanked the driver.

Kui Lan confidently told Chen Mengsheng that no matter how difficult the mountain road is for more than 20 miles, it will be almost an hour, and besides, it will not run here, and it will not be too late to come back to stay if you can't find the Zhang family. Chen Mengsheng saw that Kui Lan was so sure of what he said, and at the same time worried that the Zhang family would suddenly disappear again, so he nodded and got into the car with Kui Lan and went to the back mountain.

Kuilan's driving skills are really good, and the road up the back mountain is so narrow that you can only pass one car. Several times, Chen Mengsheng thought that the car couldn't get by, and secretly pinched a cold sweat, but Kui Lan calmly controlled the car. Illuminated by the headlights, there is a fork in the hillside, with a dirt road on one side and a newly built winding road on the other.

Kui Lan smiled proudly: "The coachman in Xizhuang is too unkind, obviously there is a winding mountain road." I estimate that it won't take long to cross the mountain, Chen Mengsheng, why are you so nervous? ”

"Miss Kuilan, I'm worried that this iron coffin will fall." Chen Mengsheng stared at the narrow mountain road in front of him.

"Hehe, I'll teach you to drive when you're free, it'll be much more convenient where you want to go in the future." Kui Lan drove the winding road obviously much easier, and he didn't have to pay as much attention as he did just now.

Chen Mengsheng scratched his head and asked, "You let me open this iron coffin too?" ”

"What kind of iron coffin is really unlucky, it is called a car with four wheels. This is something that can make people sit and walk thousands of miles, except for airplanes. Kuilan accelerated on the winding road, and after about half an hour, the road suddenly became bumpy and difficult to navigate. Kui Lan stopped the car and checked the navigation, there was no road on the navigation device, it was really hell!

Kui Lan suddenly said angrily: "What are you doing! We're about to go down the mountain, and the road is a bad road, and I don't believe it can trap us! ”

Quelan continued to move forward in a frustrated manner, and the large trees growing around the mountain road severely obstructed the lighting of the headlights. Chen Mengsheng saw that the mountain was tilting down in a large area, and felt that something was wrong, and said: "Kuilan girl, stop quickly, there is danger ahead!" ”

Kui Lan suddenly came to his senses and braked the car suddenly, and the rocks driven by the tires rolled down from the side of the car. Kui Lan got out of the car and cursed you: "I want to complain to the construction unit, they are too irresponsible." There's no road ahead, there's not even a warning sign, it's murder! Quilan pulled out her phone but found no signal at all, and stomped her foot and kicked the tire a few times.

Chen Mengsheng looked at the road conditions and said: "This road should have been washed away by the flood, and there are pedestrian footprints on the dirt and gravel road. The trees here are all growing as the rocks slide down, so we are on the wrong track, so now we have to park our car in a flat area. ”

Kui Lan reluctantly got into the car and started reversing, but the mountain road was so dark that he couldn't see the road surface on the reversible mirror. Chen Mengsheng helped command behind the car, and the car stopped like a snail on a relatively smooth mountain road.

Kui Lan got out of the car and said depressedly: "The road is blocked by mud and rocks, it is too narrow, the car can't turn around, and there is a steep slope in front of it, and it can't be reversed until dawn." Let's walk, and we'll talk about it tomorrow. ”

Chen Mengsheng sighed and said: "I didn't expect to find so many twists and turns in the Zhang family, Miss Kuilan, you just stay in the car, I'll just go alone." ”

"You're here with me, how can I let you go alone. Let's go, let's go together. Kui Lan stubbornly strode forward, but it was dark and the road was steep, and Kui Lan was wearing half-heeled fashion women's shoes, and after walking for less than ten minutes, she heard her exclaim, and her shoes were stuck in the rocks, if it weren't for Chen Mengsheng's eyes and hands to help her, she might really have fallen down......

Kui Lan's feet were in a painful cold sweat, but she just pushed forward, but Chen Mengsheng, who was walking more and more slowly, turned back from the front and asked, "Miss Kuilan, what's wrong with you?" Sit down and rest first, is there something hurting? ”

"I ...... I'm fine...... Maybe I'm tired, just take a rest, you don't care about me......" Kui Lan said and secretly hid her injured foot back, she didn't want to be looked down upon by Chen Mengsheng.

Chen Mengsheng couldn't see Kui Lan's feet secretly hiding back, and helped Kui Lan sit down and took off her shoes. Kui Lan's ankles had already begun to swell, and Chen Mengsheng silently recited the Taoist Waimen Gang Qi Healing Mantra and pressed his hand against Kui Lan's ankle. Kui Lan felt that her feet were crispy and numb, and she was forcibly held back several times when she wanted to scream, and a trace of chill was revealed from the cool wind blowing from the mountain stream. Chen Mengsheng's forehead was dripping with sweat dripping into the soil because of his luck, and Kui Lan inexplicably felt a very strange feeling......

"Miss Quilan...... Miss Kuilan, I can only help you remove the bruises from it now. Fortunately, I just sprained my tendons and didn't hurt my bones, so I should be fine after resting for two or three hours. Chen Mengsheng moved Kui Lan's ankle a few times.

Kui Lan stood up and said, "It's me who is so useless, I really don't know how to thank you." Kui Lan limped and wanted to go down the mountain, but her feet were weak and she staggered and almost wanted to fall.

"Miss Kuilan, stay here, your veins are not completely smooth now. It's too dangerous for you to go down the mountain like this, so I'd better send you back to the car. Chen Mengsheng took a few steps forward and squatted down, Kui Lan knew that he would definitely not be able to go down the mountain like this, so he no longer insisted on lying on Chen Mengsheng's back. Kui Lan felt her heart pound and beat faster, and her face gradually became hot. Will he be ...... to him

After Chen Mengsheng sent Kui Lan to the Cadillac business car, he thought that he would go back and look for the Zhang family's new home, but he was stopped by Kui Lan just a few steps away. "Hey, you're leaving me here alone?" Kui Lan opened the car window and shouted aggrievedly.

Chen Mengsheng's head is as big as a fight, there is not even a family in front of and behind the mountain, in case there is an accident in his absence, then he really can't stand Kuilan. There is no signal on the mountain, and it is not okay to have someone come to pick her up. Thinking about it, let's wait for dawn and then go to the Zhang family, Kui Lan saw Chen Mengsheng walking back, and his heart was up and down.

"Miss Kuilan, you can rest in the car. Wait until dawn to make sense. ”

"But I've never spent the night in the car...... I...... I'm a little scared ......."

"Alright then, I'll sit here with you." Chen Mengsheng found a clean stone and sat cross-legged outside the car, Kui Lan looked at Chen Mengsheng who was sitting stupidly and laughed secretly. I opened the door and pressed the back of the front seat of the car, and I lay down in the seat and closed my eyes and pretended to sleep quietly......
