Chapter 44: Asking for Directions

I knew that this dead fat man must not have any good words in his mouth, so I quickly covered his mouth with my hand and whispered, Can you shut up, this is someone else's home, and it is your turn to teach a dignified archaeology professor to be a man?

I have suffered the loss of no education in my life, so I am quite polite to serious readers, like Professor He, I can't find a few in the whole southwest, and the necessary respect must still be there.

Chen Yun was also a little puzzled, put down the teacup again, and said to Uncle Liu who was standing aside, "Is Professor He at home, why haven't you seen him all the time?" "Uncle Liu said Oh, you are late, I just wanted to tell you, Professor He went to the countryside yesterday, I heard that it was Lijiatun that rained heavily for three days, which washed away a river, and someone found a treasure in the river, and then reported it, Professor He took a group of disciples to the scene.

If you're not at home, why didn't you say it earlier?

I was not very happy with the old man in my heart, if it wasn't for the visit to Professor He, why would we have come all the way here? Knowing that Professor He was not at home, why didn't he say it earlier.

I was still muttering in my heart, Chen Yun had already stood up, and said to Uncle Liu Since this is the case, let's not bother for now, you are busy first, we still have something to find Professor He as soon as possible.

Uncle Liu said Oh, Xiao Chen, don't be in such a hurry to leave, this house is empty, and I am a lonely old man, as soon as the master leaves, I have no one to speak, you might as well stay and chat with me.

Ge Zhuang was polite and said old man, no, we still have business to do, so let's go, we can't afford to delay.

What did Uncle Liu say? I'm old behind my ears, you speak louder.

Ge Zhuang leaned into his ear again and repeated, saying that we still have business to do, and we don't have time to delay with you, so you can rest by yourself!

Uncle Liu said, oh, you want to fly? Okay, I won't delay you, go quickly.

Ge Zhuang turned his head and whispered, "This old man is deaf like this, why doesn't Professor He change his housekeeper?" As soon as he finished speaking, Uncle Liu patted the top of Ge Zhuang's monkey brain melon, and said angrily, you young man, who are deaf?

Yes, it's still intermittent deafness. You can't hear good words, but you can't leave a word behind bad words.

Coming out of Professor He's house, we got back into the car, Chen Yun was not very familiar with the road conditions here, so she stopped and asked people where Li Jiatun was. On the way, I asked a few passers-by, and they all said that the place was far away, the key was that the road was not easy to walk, it was afternoon, and it might have been dark when I arrived.

Chen Yun drove the car into the gas station, filled up the gasoline and took out a few fuel tanks, all of which were filled and stuffed into the trunk.

Suining belongs to the critical point of Chongqing and Sichuan, and is also one of the more important transit stations in the southwest, but in 2001, the road facilities are not very perfect, Chen Yun drove down the first to tell, and then turned into a muddy local road, a few days ago it had just rained, the scorching sun on the head, the road was indeed muddy, all the way to stop and stop, accidentally drove into the ditch several times, all rely on me and Ge Zhuang to push the car away.

The road conditions are much more complicated than imagined, the Bayu junction, this place is full of basins and winding mountain roads, like snake roads winding into the mountains, the road is desolate, and the old yellow mud road is endless. Chen Yun is a female driver, and she feels that her limbs are not very coordinated when she walks into the cab, and Ge Zhuang proposes several times to change it to herself. I hurriedly asked him to stop, I would rather drive slower and let Chen Yun, the female driver, go on the road, and not hand over the car to the fat man.

Just walked and stopped, and before I could get to the place, it was already dark. After dark, the road conditions became more complicated, ten miles of barren mountains, the road was lined with stretching woods, completely covering the road, this poor mountain and bad water, even a person who asked for directions could not be found, seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, Chen Yun had to turn on the headlights and walk aimlessly on the road.

Driving between the mountains in the middle of the night, there is a terrifying feeling inexplicably, in addition to the headlights can also illuminate dozens of meters of wilderness roads, the car window is pitch black, basically nothing can be seen, occasionally the mountain wind blows, shaking the shadow of the book in the depths of the jungle shaking, just like the demons open their teeth and claws, make people's hearts very uneasy.

I saw that the road conditions in front of me were too complicated, so I reminded Chen Yun to slow down the speed of the car a little, let's not rush to the road, don't drive the car into the ditch.

Chen Yun said that this place is indeed too wild, have you confirmed it when you inquired about the road? Can you walk along this road to Lijiatun?

I said I don't know, the person who asked for directions was a fat man, and you blame him for what went wrong. Ge Zhuang was not happy, and said Little pumpkin, your uncle, if something happens, you will put the responsibility on me? I knew that I would call Lao Zhong before leaving, he has good driving skills and is a good driver, and this kind of road will definitely be difficult for him.

The more you go into the mountains, the more desolate it is along the way, except for the winding mountain road, even a family can't be seen, I wonder if I want to get out of the car and find someone to ask, Ge Zhuang can't even see a dog in this broken place, let alone people, you don't open the door, the province leads a wolf in.

Chen Yun suddenly stepped on the brakes, stopped the car and said, "Don't drive, the road is too narrow, the ground is full of mud, and it is dangerous to drive late at night, why don't we rest first, try our luck, and see if we can wait for a passing car?" ”

I said okay. When the car stopped, Ge Zhuang and I pushed the car door, leaned against the window and smoked a cigarette. Soon, Ge Zhuang said that his bladder was about to distend, and he was anxious to urinate, so let me wait with Chen Yun for a while, but don't leave him alone to spend the night in the mountains.

I urged this fat guy to hurry up, he didn't need to run too far to pee, anyway, no one would see this deep mountain and old forest. He ran away, and he didn't know if he heard it.

After smoking, I opened the car door again and planned to go in, Chen Yun handed out a bag of beef from inside, and said eat, I didn't see anyone on the road, and I couldn't buy anything to eat, so there was only this bit of beef jerky left, and you and the fat man barely put a cushion on their stomachs. I asked Chen Yun if she had eaten it? She said I don't need to, I often don't eat at night.

After I chewed a few pieces of beef, Ge Zhuangyou came over with a belt and a fart, I thought he had smelled the aroma of beef from afar, and said that you have a very smart nose, don't worry, keep a copy for you.

Ge Zhuang ran back and said to Xu I hurriedly, "No, little pumpkin, when the fat man was peeing just now, he saw someone in front of him, could it be that Li Jiatun is about to arrive?" ”

"Where, let's go!" I was worried that no one would lead the way, so I hurriedly got in the car, asked Chen Yun to restart the car, and drove for less than two minutes under Ge Zhuang's guidance, and sure enough, I saw an old man walking on the side of the road with his hands behind his back.

Chen Yun hurriedly pulled over the car and wanted to get out of the window and say uncle, please ask you, how long will it take to get to Lijiatun?

The old man was carrying a bundle of dry firewood, stopped, looked at Chen Yun and said, "I haven't heard of this, you are going the wrong way!" Chen Yun was stunned for a moment, and secretly said that Mo really took a fork in the road? Ge Zhuang twisted his fat ass and opened me a few times, and directly pulled the car door and jumped out, "No, I asked so many people, Li Jiatun is obviously in this direction." ”

The old man was unhappy, "You young man, I'm so old, can I lie to you?" Ge Zhuang hurriedly smiled, handed out a cigarette, and said Uncle, don't be angry, where are you going, why don't I give you a ride?
