The crowd was gossiping and was about to quarrel.

Bai Youwei quietly observed the man with glasses, and saw that his eyebrows showed boredom and disdain. Presumably, this person is also helpless, in order to survive, he has to count on this group of vulgar and selfish human beings.

Bai Youwei turned her face sideways and gave Shen Mo a look, as if to say: Look, I'll just say that this group of people is unreliable.

Shen Mo smiled faintly and didn't comment.

The so-called meeting to discuss the method gradually changed its taste, and at first it was still a discussion, but later it was a group of people complaining to each other. If it weren't for the man with glasses who came forward from time to time to ease up, I'm afraid I would really have to quarrel.

At this time, it was suddenly dark in the room!

The timid were the first to cry.

Then someone scolded: "What is it called! It's just tripping, don't scare yourself! ”

After a while, the eyes adjusted to the darkness, and everyone hurriedly left the restaurant, and the man with glasses called the two of them to check the switch together.

There was no electricity, everyone was waiting outside, there was nothing to do.

Bai Youwei raised her head and looked at the moon and stars in the sky. The vast sky covers the earth, silent and vast, and the people in the night seem extraordinarily small.

The night seems to contain mysterious powers, and it always makes people palpitate after looking at it for a long time.

The crowd was restless.

The man with glasses who came back told everyone that there was no problem with the electric switch, but the entire service area was out of power. Maybe it won't be long before the water will be cut off.

The atmosphere suddenly became somber and oppressive.

Bai Youwei felt that these people were really hopeless, except for the glasses man, none of them had an opinion.

"I say......" said an old man in the crowd hesitantly, "Otherwise, everyone will find a way to go, right?" ”

The man next to him said: "Teacher Cheng, haven't we been trying to find a way to go?" What you're saying is tantamount to nonsense. ”

The old man, known as Teacher Cheng, was about sixty years old, with gray temples and a thin body wearing an old-fashioned coarse cloth shirt, with a slightly hunched back, looking very inconspicuous.

After he was sarcastic, his old face turned red, and he said, "I mean...... If you don't drive, you just, just go. Isn't the reason why we are stuck here is because the road is blocked and cars can't drive through? ”

The old man stretched out his hand and gestured, "We can work in pairs and set off every 10 minutes, so that we can avoid becoming dolls to a large extent......"

"Teacher Cheng, don't make a mess, how can you go without driving? There are so many of us, with a lot of luggage and luggage, do you want us to walk to Yangzhou on just two legs? ”

"yes, your rhetoric won't work."

Everyone said one by one, and the complaints became louder and louder, as if they wanted to vent their grievances about the power outage on the old man.

The man with glasses was silent in the crowd, and he chose to ignore the old man's pleading gaze. Maybe he also thinks that the old man's words are reasonable, but at this time, what obligation does he have to help others share his anger?

The pressure of survival has accumulated for a long time, and someone has to become the object of group catharsis.

Bai Youwei didn't want to wade into troubled waters, so she said to Shen Mo silently with her mouth: "Let's go." ”

Shen Mo stood still.

She gently pulled him down again, and he took two steps forward and said to the complaining people, "Everyone, be quiet......

Bai Youwei immediately wanted to roll her eyes!

And all the people looked at it.

She and Shen Mo suddenly became the focus of attention, and it felt like being stared at by a group of hungry ghosts, which was very scary.

But Shen Mo didn't even move his eyebrows.

He said calmly: "It seems that a car is coming." ”

People were silenced.

As soon as the voices stopped, the sounds in the air became distinct.

The faint roar came from far and near, at first like the wind, but it was closer, and the sound of the wheels rolling on the road creaked and was distinct.

Finally, in the dark night, a big car drove into the service area, and the bright headlights shone directly on the people-

Brake.

Stop.

Several athletic youths jumped out of the car, and one of them whistled and said, "Hey, what's wrong?" What are they doing outside? ”
