Chapter 2 Walking at Night
"Lao Lu, why is your face so bad?"
As I spoke, I put my hand on Boss Lu's forehead, it was very hot.
Boss Lu stared at me and asked, "What's wrong with me?" ”
The wind blowing in from the car window was still very cold, so I quickly tore off my jacket and covered it on Boss Lu: "You have a fever." Now what does it feel like, dizziness? ”
Boss Lu glanced out the window and shook his head at me: "I'm not dizzy, but I just feel that there is a cold air that drills straight into my heart, making my legs and stomach tremble." ”
I felt that his tongue was a little big when he spoke, and I knew that I couldn't drag it any longer, so I wanted to find the village first.
Although the medical conditions in the village are not as good as those in the city, they usually have their own small clinics, and it is no problem to treat headaches and brain fever.
But when I put down the handbrake and put the ball of my foot on the accelerator, I found that the car couldn't start.
The car has been around for years, and it is not uncommon for it to break down, and I didn't pay much attention to it, but I just plugged in the keys a few times to get the car back on.
In the past, when the car broke down, it could be started by twisting the key a few times, but this time, it seemed to be completely paralyzed, and there was no reaction at all.
After trying a few times in succession, I sighed and said to Boss Lu: "No, the car won't start, it looks like we're going to sleep here tonight." ”
While talking, I opened the armrest box, I remember that in the spring of this year, the proprietress prepared some cold medicine for us, and put it in the armrest box, but as soon as I opened the armrest box, I was dumbfounded, there was nothing in it except some change.
"Where's the cold medicine?" I asked Boss Lu: "Why is there so much change, and it's all five yuan a piece." ”
Boss Lu said: "I saved such a little change and put it in the armrest box, originally I wanted to buy some water on the road, buy some ice cream or something." Those medicines expired last month, and I threw them away anyway. ”
I rolled up the window and brought another bottle of water to Boss Lu: "You drink some water first, I'll buy you some medicine." ”
After speaking, I was about to get out of the car, but Boss Lu grabbed my wrist: "Damn, don't leave me alone." Besides, there is no store in front of the village in this place, where can you buy medicine? ”
I said, "I'll go ahead first, and if I can find the village, I'll try to get you some medicine, and if I can't see the entrance to the village within an hour, I'll come back." Stay in the car and don't run around. ”
As I spoke, I pushed open the car door, but Boss Kelu grabbed me and wouldn't let me go.
I glanced back at him and saw that his face was full of nervousness, so I couldn't help frowning: "Lao Lu, you let go of me, I'll be back in two hours at most, are you still afraid of the dark?" ”
Boss Lu: "I'm not afraid of the dark, I think it'...... I don't think something is right. Let me tell you, since just now, I have always felt as if something was blowing cool air on the back of my neck, and I was very panicked. Zhang Ruofei, you say, we won't run into that thing, right? ”
I knew what he meant, and I didn't want to deal with him, but I felt that he seemed to be really frightened by something, so I finally dispelled the idea of getting out of the car, and while closing the car door, I said to him: "I said Lao Lu, don't be a god or a ghost all day long, it's all old superstition." Okay, I'm not going to buy medicine anymore, you drink some water, sweat, and when it's dawn, I'll see if I can contact the nearby garage. ”
Boss Lu: "That's okay, you can't leave me alone anyway." ”
Whoa—
Just as Boss Lu was talking, there was a sudden very broken noise from the front of the car.
I felt as if something was on the front bar of the car, and I wanted to go down to take a look, but Boss Lu still grabbed my wrist tightly and wouldn't let me get out of the car.
The sound didn't last long, and after about a minute, the car jolted slightly, and then a cold air blew from the air conditioner.
The car did not start, it is said that it is impossible for the air conditioner to run on its own, not to mention that the condenser on the car is broken, even if the air conditioner blows, it is impossible to blow cold air.
Something really wasn't right, and I stared at the air conditioner's air vent and my heart started to get nervous.
Now, I also have the same feeling as Boss Lu, I feel as if something is lying on my back, blowing cool air on my neck, the cold hairs on my back will explode at once, and goosebumps will appear on both arms.
The wind blowing from the air conditioner suddenly strengthened a little, and it blew outside one after another, and every time it blew out, a long "heh-" sound came from the front window. It felt like something was lying on the car window, exhaling at me and Boss Lu.
Boss Lu stared at the front window of the car, first stunned for a few seconds, then turned around and pushed the door on his side hard.
Can't stay: in the car!
I also quickly pulled up the door handle and wanted to push the door open, but the door was like a lock on the outside, and I couldn't push it open.
In desperation, I could only raise my fist and slam it on the window a few times.
The windows of old cars like this are usually not very strong, and I broke a big hole by smashing them three times and two times, I didn't dare to delay, so I quickly pulled up Boss Lu and climbed out along the car window.
The moment I got out of the car, I always felt as if someone was staring at me from behind, and when I glanced in the rearview mirror, I saw an old man standing twenty meters away.
I panicked, and it was dark, so I couldn't see it very clearly, but when I saw the person lying on her back, with a cane in her hand, and her hair was very long, hanging down to her chest, I thought it should be an old woman.
But when I dragged Boss Lu out of the car and turned to look at the location where the old lady had just appeared, I found that there was no one in that place at all.
At first, I thought I was wrong, but Boss Lu said at this time: "What about the old lady just now?" ”
I looked at Boss Lu with wide eyes: "You saw her too?" ”
Boss Lu: "When I climbed out, I caught a glimpse of an old lady standing on the road from the afterglow...... It's gone? ”
I scratched my earlobe a little irritably: "Could it be that you really ran into something dirty?" ”
Boss Lu looked at me stunned: "What are you doing with your ears, don't you explode at this time!" ”
I've been like this since I was a child, and when I encounter something I can't accept, my heart will become very dry, and when others watch horror movies, I will be scared when I see these horror scenes, but every time I am scared, I will scold, and I still have the urge to hit someone.
When I first followed Boss Lu last year, I had a seizure, and the way he looked at me was the same as now, like a ghost.
But this time, I'm afraid the two of us actually saw ghosts.
I suppressed the irritability in my heart and waved my hand at Boss Lu: "I'm fine." ”
Boss Lu's main attention now is not on me, he looked around for a while, and asked me again, "What should I do now?" ”
I was already dry in my heart, but I still had to comfort him: "Don't be afraid, I've heard people say that there are three yang fires in a living person, and as long as the yang fire is not extinguished, ghosts will not dare to approach their bodies." You must not be afraid of it, if you are not afraid of it, it will be afraid of you. ”
Boss Lu was still so nervous that he couldn't do it, he took a step towards me, as if he wanted to get closer to me, but before the soles of his feet landed, his legs were weak and he threw himself directly on the ground.
I quickly stepped forward and pulled him up, and he held his knees, looked at me in horror, and said, "Why don't I feel this leg?" I'm ghosted! ”
I was already angry in my heart, and when I saw him like a wreck, I couldn't help but curse: "Ha hammer!" ”
Boss Lu is now a master of the six gods, and he didn't notice what I was talking about at all, and I didn't talk nonsense with him anymore, I just picked him up and walked in the direction of the village.
Don't look at this guy's height is only one meter seven, but his weight is more than two hundred pounds, I didn't go far with him on my back and began to pant wildly, but now I don't dare to stop, I'm afraid that as soon as I stop, the old lady just now will appear again.
Boss Lu said before that the last time he walked this road, he arrived at the entrance of the village in less than half an hour, but today I drove for two hours without seeing the lights.
In the past, I always heard him say that he had encountered a ghost hitting the wall when he was a child, and I had never taken it seriously before, but now I also realize that maybe I really encountered a ghost hitting the wall this time, and no matter how I walked, I couldn't get out of this road.
But I'd rather walk a little longer with him on my back than stand still and die.
I just carried him on my back and walked and walked and walked until an hour ago and I felt like my lungs were about to explode, but I still didn't dare to stop.
At this time, Boss Lu patted me on the shoulder and said to me, "Listen." ”
Not only was I gasping for breath now, but my skin was swollen, my ears were bloodshot, and I couldn't hear anything but my own panting and his voice.
"Listen, it's the sound of running water!"
Boss Lu said this behind me again.
It was only after he said this that I could faintly recognize the sound of running water coming from in front of me.
Didn't Boss Lu say that there is a river outside Mabutun, since there is the sound of flowing water in front, it means that we are very close to the entrance of the village.
At that time, I was too tired to walk, but I felt that hope was in front of me, so I held back my last breath of strength and continued to walk.
It didn't take long for the sound of running water to become very clear, the road was not as dark as before, and the moonlight sprinkled down from the sky, illuminating a large area of land, and also illuminating an old locust tree in the distance.
I don't know why, I always feel that this moonlight gives people a very old feeling, it doesn't seem to belong to my time, it is more like it is projected from a certain period in ancient times, under the moonlight, the locust tree in the distance reflects a slightly slippery luster, as if someone has applied a lot of grease to the tree.
As soon as I saw the luster on the tree, my heart began to tighten again for no reason, I wanted to stop, but my body didn't obey the call, and still walked towards it with big strides, trying to put Boss Lu down, but a pair of arms were tightly wrapped around his legs, and I couldn't let go at all.
Boss Lu probably sensed that something was wrong, and shouted on my back: "If not, why don't I think there is something wrong with that tree, let's not go over." ”
I wanted to tell him, and I didn't want to go over, but I wouldn't listen to him.
But I can only think about this kind of thing, and when I open my mouth, I can't make a sound.
