Chapter Twenty-Four: The Barn (5) Gets in the Way
"What's going on? Still here last night? "Xiao Shao's head is puzzled, it was obviously still under the window last night. I didn't get out of the house at three or four o'clock, could it be...... He had an ominous premonition in his heart, and his old cousin also had a dull face.
"Xiao Shao, let's go outside the door and have a look, maybe the old man has put these barns elsewhere." The old cousin said after a moment of silence.
Xiao Shao nodded, didn't say what he thought, and walked out of the house with the old cousin.
Opening the courtyard door, the two looked around outside the courtyard, but it didn't matter, Xiao Shao was so frightened by the strange scene in front of him that he almost sat on the ground.
I saw three Warring States barns placed outside the door, and the owner blamed the old man for kneeling on the ground against the barn. While kicking his legs, he used his brain to drill the rocky ground with all his might, as if he was about to perform a retreat. This strange old man's head was drilled with blood all over his face, maybe he would have to drill his skull after a while, and he would travel westward.
"W-what is this doing?" Xiao Shao and the old cousin were both surprised. "Cousin, is this some kind of sacrificial activity in this mountain, that is, the great god of jumping?"
The old cousin shook his head and observed for a while: "Which one of the great dancers did you see jumping to death?" ”
"Cousin, what then? You can't die without help, right? ”
The old cousin nodded, and walked over to the strange old man who was burrowing into the ground.
"Ahem, what about you?"
The strange old man didn't react at all, his eyes widened, and his face was very hideous.
The old cousin frowned, shook his head helplessly, sighed deeply, walked back to Xiao Shao's side and said, "It's hopeless." ”
"So what do we do?"
The old cousin pondered for a while, considered it, and said, "In this way, let's take the three barns and go home." ”
After hearing this, Xiao Shao sighed, and wanted to say that this method was not very moral, but there was no other way to think about it. He nodded, and the old cousin walked over to the strange old man, and took two of the barns as if nothing had happened.
Xiao Shao was naturally not as bold as his cousin, took a deep breath, slowly walked to the strange old man's side step by step, and picked up the last barn.
But as soon as he took the barn away from the strange old man's side, he saw that the strange old man with a bloody face suddenly stopped drilling on the ground, and his body went limp, and he lay on the ground.
Xiao Shao was stunned for a moment, looked at the strange old man, put the barn on the ground, and probed the old man's nose, he was still alive, but he fainted from overwork.
"Cousin! The old man is back to normal! Xiao Shao yelled at the old man.
The old cousin was stunned, put the barn in the car, and ran to the side of the strange old man.
"What's the matter, are you dead?"
Xiao Shao shook his head: "I just fainted." ”
The cousin nodded: "Take him back, put him in the house, and let's go ours." ”
"Uh......" Xiao Shao hesitated a little, and said in his heart that he would have to wait for the old man to wake up, right? But there was an undoubted look on the old cousin's face, so Xiao Shao did not refute his cousin's proposal, but nodded.
The two men put the strange old man who had fainted on the bed, closed the door, and went back to the van.
As soon as Xiao Shao got into the van, he felt an inexplicable weird horror surging into his heart, and after looking carefully, goosebumps on his body suddenly stood up. The fish-eyed driver was still in the same position as yesterday, holding the steering wheel in his hand, looking straight ahead and sitting in the cab like a statue.
"Master driver, how were you resting in this car yesterday?" Xiao Shao stammered and asked.
The driver didn't look at him when he saw him, still with no expression on his face, and the dead fish eyes looked straight ahead, turning the steering wheel like a clockwork robot.
Xiao Shao didn't say anything and ignored himself, or he was like a deaf person who couldn't hear. He sighed and closed his eyes and stopped talking.
The inside of the car is like an ice cellar, which is extremely weird. In this way, I don't know how long later, Xiao Shao actually fell asleep, and the sound of his stomach "growling" woke him up from his sleep. He didn't open his eyes, he thought, why hasn't he arrived yet, that day is less than four hours at most, we came out at nine o'clock in the morning, and it stands to reason that it will arrive at three o'clock in the afternoon at most, I don't know how long I've been squinting, at least four or five hours. Thinking of this, he slowly opened his eyes, and this time he opened his eyes and fought a cold war.
Why, it's already dark? Haven't arrived yet? Where is this? Xiao Shao rolled down the window and looked out of the car. I saw the mountains and mountains outside the car, and the car was walking in the winding mountain road.
"Cousin, where is this?" Xiao Shao asked anxiously.
The cousin stretched out his right hand unhurriedly and pointed to the light in front of him: "That's the train station." ”
Xiao Shao heard what his old cousin said, nodded, and said in his heart that there might be a traffic jam on the road, so he hasn't arrived for so long. He poked his head out of the window and looked out the window, the light was indeed not far ahead, at this rate it would be twenty minutes, and he closed his eyes at the thought of this.
I don't know how long it took, Xiao Shao muttered in his heart again. What's going on, it's been another hour, why hasn't it arrived yet? When he opened his eyes, he saw that the car was still driving forward, and the light ahead stood on the ground in the distance as if it had not moved.
What's the matter, I didn't fall asleep, the car didn't stop, thinking of this, a cold sweat broke out on his back, and he trembled. He hurriedly closed his eyes again, trying to calm himself down.
"Ten thousand seven hundred and ninety-nine, ten thousand eight hundred." Xiao Shao suddenly shuddered, what's going on? It's been another three hours, and the car is still driving, what's going on? What's going on? Xiao Shao was about to have a nervous breakdown after being tortured by this strange trip, and suddenly opened his eyes, and the scene in front of him made him almost faint.
I saw that the point of light that was directly in front of them had moved diagonally behind them!
Xiao Shao was so frightened that he roared at the old cousin sitting in front of him: "Tell me, what the hell is going on." Why haven't we reached the train station after walking on this mountain road for almost ten hours? ”
The old cousin turned his head slowly, stared at Xiao Shao coldly with blood-red eyes, and said a sentence slowly, which frightened Xiao Shao almost to death.
"We ...... The ghost hit the wall. ”
Xiao Shao shuddered in fright, and said in a trembling voice, "Ghost ...... Ghost...... Ghost...... Ghost hitting the wall? ”
This term Xiao Shao is not unfamiliar, the so-called "ghost hitting the wall", scientifically speaking, is in the night or when walking in the suburbs, can not distinguish the direction of the surroundings, self-direction perception has been blurred, do not know where to go, so always in the same place circle. This experience is often referred to as "ghost hitting the wall", which is said to be a hazy state of consciousness in the dark of night. But everyone knows that this seems to be a kind of deception, besides, people can turn in circles in one position without different directions, isn't it true that cars also have different directions? Thinking of this, Xiao Shao couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat again.
"So, cousin, what are we going to do now?" Xiao Shao asked tremblingly.
The old cousin didn't speak, still looking straight ahead.
Xiao Shao looked at the old cousin who couldn't kick out a fart with three feet, and couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, and suddenly roared: "Stop!" ”
The old cousin heard him roar, and waved his hand without even looking back, the driver stopped the car with a foot of the brake, Xiao Shao stepped out of the van alone, and when he looked around, he saw that he was in the middle of the mountain road, except for their van, there was no car in the entire mountain road.
Xiao Shao sighed, and said in his heart that I really have to die here this time. looked at the old cousin who was still sitting in the car, and scolded in a low voice: "CNM!" CNM! I didn't give birth to a child, I recruited you to provoke you, do you want me to die in this poor mountain and bad water? He thought about his old mother again, and sighed: "Son, I can't do my filial piety in front of the hall." He said that he kowtowed three times in the distance. Thinking of his children and his wife again, suddenly, a sentence appeared in his heart.
"Husband, this old money is the most evil object."
"Old money, yes, yes."
Thinking of this, he took out the old money in his chest, looked at it, held it in his hand for a while, and recited the Buddha name and the six-character mantra. Suddenly, with a strong arm, he threw this "Kangxi Tongbao" into the distance.
