30. Scarecrow

After sleeping for so long, my stomach was already overly hungry, and I smelled the smell of chicken in the bag, and I didn't have much appetite. In particular, the movement should not be too big, and the car is quiet, and even the sound of chewing can be heard clearly. So after only two bites, I put the bag away and put it aside.

Zhou Tong looked back, lowered his voice and said, "Little sister, you can sleep again, the road is still long, at least you have to drive until dawn." I wailed silently, the long night was really hard, I was just about to adjust my sitting position, suddenly there was a sudden brake in front of me, and the "squeak" tire slippage sound was jarring, and finally it was a bang, and I hit something.

The sudden change came so suddenly, and I threw myself forward, hit my head on the back of the chair, and was dizzy. Sheng Shiyao's inquiring voice came from his ears: "What's the matter?" I turned my head to see that he had nothing to do, and he reacted quickly to the front seat at the first time, and his face was gloomy.

Zhou Tong scolded a dirty word before replying: "I hit something, Liuzi, you get out of the car and take a look." ”

With such a big movement, Liuzi must have woken up, fortunately he had a seat belt, otherwise he would have to fly out of the front window just now. As soon as the car door opened, the wind poured in, and I looked out the window, and it was dark and not in the middle of winter, only the shadows of the trees beside the road. Soon the sixth son walked back, bent down and said to Sheng Shiyao in the back seat: "It's not a person, I don't know who lacks virtue, I put two scarecrows in the middle of the road that are full of one person high, and they are holding stones behind them, and now they have been knocked to the ground." ”

Zhou Tong slapped his thigh and shouted: "I just said that it doesn't look like a person, how can someone bump into it, and he won't fly out." ”

"Lao Zhou has to come down to help, the stone is a bit big, and he can't move it alone."

As soon as Zhou Tong heard this, he immediately went to unbuckle his seat belt to get out of the car, Sheng Shiyao suddenly said: "Wait, I'll go down and take a look." Turning his eyes to me, "You also get out of the car and follow along." ”

Walking to the front of the car, as Liuzi said, the two scarecrows fell apart and lay on the ground, behind them were stones less than one meter high, quite big, and indeed very heavy. Sheng Shiyao squatted down and took a closer look, looked up and asked me, "What do you see?" I didn't expect him to suddenly come out with the exam questions, and I didn't react for a while, so I could only pinch one sentence: "It's artificial." ”

Zhou Tong sneered and said: "Little sister, naturally it is for people, can it be that the straw will be tied by itself, and the stone will automatically roll to this road." Mother, I almost scared my Lao Zhou to death just now, thinking that I had bumped into someone, and it didn't feel right until I bumped into it. ”

I was blushing when he said it, but fortunately it was pitch black and I couldn't see it. Sheng Shiyao had already straightened up and walked to me, and asked in a low voice, "Is there anything else you have discovered?" "I know that he intends to test me, and he should have seen it. I gathered my thoughts, took two deep breaths, and began to observe my surroundings.

Although the road here is flat, I don't know if the street lights on both sides are broken or not on, and none of them are on, so the whole perspective depends on the beam of the headlights. Looking down and looking carefully at the scattered straw at his feet, a bold assumption appeared in his mind, and he coughed lightly before saying: "I estimate that the road ahead may not be able to walk, these two scarecrows should be the vehicles set up by local residents in the middle of the road to remind them to pass the road overnight, you see, the street lights on both sides are either broken, or not on, if the headlights of this car are turned off, it is pitch black, if there is a pit or something on the road, it is difficult to be found." Erect two dummies here, and the general driver's headlights shine, and they will intuitively brake and stop. ”

As for the situation of our car, Zhou Tong should have just turned around to talk to me at that time, and did not notice the movement ahead, and when he found out, it was too late, and he braked again and again, but because of the timely braking, the force of the impact of slipping stones was greatly reduced.

After hearing this, Sheng Shiyao said to Liuzi: "You go to the front to take a look, there is a flashlight in the car." ”
