After dinner, although it was dark in winter, the time was still very early, Master and I walked on the street against the cold wind, and from time to time we wanted to have a conversation with the locals in Yabei, but when our master and apprentice mentioned the car accidents in recent years, most of the locals were silent, not mentioning the past car accidents or even avoiding them, maybe they didn't want to recall those painful memories, or maybe they were numb once a year, maybe it was unlucky to mention the topics related to car accidents, I am afraid that the car accident on November 25 this year will be fulfilled again, as if I have been cursed.

Master and I walked back and forth around the provincial highway and the national highway for several times and found nothing, until after more than nine o'clock in the evening, we found a very special thing, that is, a lot of long-distance trucks gathered in the northern section of the Yabei National Highway and the eastern section of the provincial highway, most of them found a spacious place to stop, or simply set up a warning sign and parked on the highway, the driver and co-pilot of the car got off the car and poured into the large and small restaurants in Yabei, Yabei seemed to be suddenly lively, they were about to get off the bus and have a beautiful meal. From time to time, drivers speaking dialects from all over the country walked past us, and Master couldn't help but want to ask them:

'Brother, hey, this old man, at first glance, you are people who run long distances all year round, why don't you rush forward and suddenly gather in this area north of the cliff and stagnate? The big trucks that stopped north from here can't be seen at a glance, speaking of which, you who have traveled long distances will not stay in a certain place for a long time except for a short break to eat, and you look like you are planning to spend the night in this place, what is the reason?"

"Do you want to hitchhike this fellow, or do you want to steal our goods at night or the gas in our tank?"

"No, no, you definitely misunderstood, we are also outsiders, we are just curious, besides, do you think we look like bad people?"

"Well, it's okay to tell you, anyway, we'll sleep in the car for a while, if you dare to steal us, I'll cut off your hands"

"From here to the north of the cliff to the south of the cliff this road every year on November 25 will have a major car accident, today are the 22nd, we are afraid of accidents and accidents in the night driving, so we are on the north side of the cliff north stay overnight, and wait for the next day to be clear in the drive through the north of the cliff to the south of the cliff, ask for peace"

"This year, since entering November, I have been like this every day, although the boss is urging tightly, but we have no way, there are old and young, safety is the most important"

"Yes, you are the pillars of the family, you are safe, and the family can be happy and safe"

The master asked several pairs of drivers in a row, and the answers were all the same, they were secretive about this road of death, and they were cautious when passing by, where is the evil on this road, what kind of evil is doing it, at least until now, all this is still a mystery, the fog is still quite thick, there is no transparent direction, but there is not much time left for our master and apprentice, but this matter is different from usual, and the scope involved is too wide, how can this matter be completed in the process of not knowing the ghost, I really didn't have a clue for a while.

After ten o'clock, some well-fed drivers and co-pilots began to walk out of the small restaurants, and went to the shops that were not yet closed to buy some daily necessities and instant noodles to bring into the car.

As for these drivers, some of them went back to the car to get ready to sleep, but there were also a small number of people who started the car and prepared to leave, Master and I stood aside and were a little puzzled, so we went up to stop a car and asked, Master pretended to be a driver and said:

"Big brother, everyone waits until dawn to go together, what are you doing? That section of the Highway of Death was dangerous at night."

"Hey, brother, we have no choice, the boss is urging urgently, if the goods cannot be delivered to the destination on time, the losses of all our parties are very large, and we are also responsible for the customer."

"Our brothers have heard of the Highway of Death, and there is a saying that is not well said! It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, if there is really such a disaster in our lives, we can't escape, if not, then all roads lead to Rome! We can go how we want, I don't care about the king Lao Tzu, brother, do you say it?"

"Yes, then I wish you all a smooth journey, pay attention to safety on the road"

The big car that Master said started to move, and after a while, it disappeared into the vast night, and these gathered convoys saw that there were still such bold vehicles driving towards the section of the Death Highway, they couldn't bear it, and they also drove away and went straight to the Death Highway, but some of the vehicles still insisted on refusing to leave, and the car did not move until dawn.

"Erdan, there shouldn't be anything bad happening tonight, let's go back and rest first, let's wait until tomorrow to talk about everything."

"But, Master, this" I was a little anxious, after all, time is running out, there is no clue at all, time waits for no one, Master fully understands what I mean and says:

"It's nothing, all the rumors about the 'Highway of Death' are not groundless, let's think about it in the long run."

"But, Master, we don't have much time, and now it's just November and the drivers on the national and provincial highways are panicking......

"What about causing a commotion, you have forgotten who we are, and we usually don't care about the living"

"Okay," I shrugged, indicating that I didn't say anything, and the old man had already noticed that I was a little nosy.

When we returned to the small hotel, it was also very late, and Master and I hurriedly slept and had nothing to do all night, except for dawn.
