Chapter 33: Turning in circles
What Mother-in-law Fengyan said was so serious, I secretly made up my mind not to talk about the object until I got through the three tests. Then again, I'm such a rural dick, who will look for me.
"Mother-in-law, I'm a little uneasy in my heart." I say.
Mother-in-law Storm-eyed laughed and laughed like a crow: "Don't be afraid, it's useless to be afraid." Where you've come from or where you're going to go, you'll know when the time comes. ”
I came out of her house in a daze, pondering all the way, a little suspicious, suspicious of everything on the street. What these three netherworld trials were, no one knew, not even Huang Xiaotian could tell. It's mysterious, it's unthinkable.
I also thought about it later, but I didn't think about it, and I was afraid of a bird.
When I got home, my grandfather asked me when I was going back to the forest farm and if I was going to go back to work. I thought about it and felt that I should go back, although there are a lot of things now, there is only one thread in the chaos, and that is to break through the three levels. These three levels are not tested, everything is in vain, and nothing can be done.
It's better to go back to work, staying at home is also staying, and it's even more depressing.
When I left again this time, I didn't say goodbye to Wang Erdonkey, I felt a little desolate, and now that the second sister of our trio is gone, I feel very uncomfortable.
The next morning, I took a car over, found a place to live in the county town, and called the driver Lao Zhou, who could only deliver supplies into the mountain tomorrow, and told me to wait another day.
One day later, I was waiting for him at the bus station, and Lao Zhou's car finally came. After getting in the car, Lao Zhou asked me about it, I heard that you are sick, how do you feel. I didn't elaborate, but barely squeezed out a little laugh and said it didn't matter.
Old Zhou chattered all the way, talking about the in his house and some things in the forest farm. There were only three singles in the forest farm, and I listened to the news boringly and drowsy. When I arrived in the mountains in the afternoon, Hu Touer and the three of them were very happy to see me back, and they asked how my health was.
In this way, I returned to work in the forest farm and lived in isolation. I conscientiously completed the task assigned by Hu Tou'er, but in fact, I was terrified in my heart, and I didn't know when the three levels started.
What is more terrible than death is waiting for death.
A few days have passed, I feel that my body is getting heavier and heavier, tossing a big circle, the yin poison has never been pulled out, the only hope is to wait for Huang Xiaotian to give me a trick, when will it be.
I was lying in the dormitory thinking about my thoughts, and Hu Tou'er came in and knocked on the door: "Xiao Feng, don't lie down, go out with Lao Zhou." ”
There is a batch of mountain goods to be transported out of the forest farm, and the driver Lao Zhou is too busy to work alone, so he has to find someone to follow the car. It's not an easy job, but you can also go out for a walk. Cao Yuan originally wanted to go, but asked Hu Tou'er to persuade him to come down and give me the quota. Cao Yuan patted me on the shoulder and sighed, I want to be as seriously ill as you, and the sick number is given special treatment. I smiled wryly and said, let's try it separately, you won't be able to survive a day.
We loaded the mountain goods in the car and set off. Bumpy and swaying all the way down the mountain. Lao Zhou is a good person, but his mouth is broken, maybe he is too lonely to be a driver, and he finally caught someone and talked about it endlessly. I'm still too embarrassed not to listen, squeak and squeak in response, in fact, my eyelids are glued together and I can't open them.
The car was bumpy, and at some point, there was a big pothole on the road, and the car was upside down, and I was caught off guard and flew up and down, and my butt hurt. I rubbed my eyes: "Master Zhou, where are we here?" ”
Lao Zhou didn't speak, looked straight at the mountain road in front of him, stopped, and his expression was very unnatural.
I asked again, and Lao Zhou rolled down the window, lit a cigarette, and said two words, "It's weird." ”
I chuckled inwardly and looked at him.
Lao Zhou told me what happened. This time, the destination of the mountain goods is called Balhu Banner, which is a Mongolian gathering area. He has been to this road a few times, and he is not unfamiliar with the route. But when I just went to that town, I was just in time to build the road, and the road was already closed. There are signs on the side of the road with maps telling drivers how to get around.
Lao Zhou didn't think much about it, and drove the car in the direction of the signs, the road was uneven, extremely rugged, and the bumps and bumps always went around the mountain road.
The more you go inside, the worse the road is, that is, an old driver like Lao Zhou, who can overturn if someone else is careless.
By the time Lao Zhou sensed that something was wrong and was about to withdraw, it was too late. This mountain road only allows one lane, you can go in, it is difficult to get out of the blue sky, it is unimaginable to turn the head of the car, and you can't reverse all the way out.
Now we are in such a situation, retreating is not able to retreat, can only go in, but if we go further, we will encounter something, where we will go, no one knows, it is equivalent to a blind man touching the water and crossing the river.
Lao Zhou threw a cigarette to me: "What do you think?" ”
I didn't feel particularly panicked, leaned back comfortably in the chair, and lit a cigarette: "Master Zhou, keep driving inside, if it really doesn't work, we can call for help." ”
Lao Zhou took two puffs of cigarette sullenly and scolded: "It's really unlucky." "Start the car and keep going.
I lost my sleepiness and looked out the window at the mountain road that passed by.
Lao Zhou didn't talk about sex, no one spoke, and the atmosphere in the cab was extremely depressing. I don't know how long I drove it, but the mountain road gradually showed a downward trend, and the road became smoother.
Lao Zhou's eyes lit up and he said to me: "Just drive out of the mountain, and when I get outside, I can turn back no matter what." ”
After another 20 minutes of driving, we finally came down from the mountain road, and we were about to breathe a sigh of relief when we suddenly realized that something was wrong.
In front of it was a windy area, very windy, and the soil was dusty. We hurriedly rolled up the window of the car, and when we looked through the front window, we could barely see that this was a township, and there were rows of bungalows on both sides of the road.
"What the fuck is this?" Lao Zhou looked around while driving the car.
The speed of the car was extremely slow, driving slowly on the street, and there was not a single figure visible in the strong wind around it, and the door number on the bungalow was shaky.
I have never seen such a place, I looked around with my mouth open, and I was looking, Lao Zhou said: "How long have we been driving in?" ”
I looked at my watch, and I was carrying a mechanical watch, and I saw that the hands were motionless.
Lao Zhou picked up the mobile phone on the driver's platform and looked at it, and the mobile phone had a black screen inexplicably. He pressed the switch a few times, but there was no response. I quickly pulled out my phone, and the screen was also black, and we looked at each other.
Lao Zhou has been running long-distance transportation for 20 years, and he is a well-informed old driver, so he became serious: "Xiao Feng, something is wrong, something is wrong." ”
"What should I do?" I asked.
Lao Zhou didn't speak, slowly speeding up his car, and drove quickly forward on this street. The surrounding wind and dust are very large, the sky is full of yellow sand, and the visibility is particularly low, so it would be good to have two meters. He sped up his speed while staring at the window, and in the event of an accident, he had to be able to react as quickly as possible.
After driving for about ten minutes, he slowly stopped the car, shook his head and said, "No, this road shouldn't be so long." ”
I thought about it and opened the car door, and Old Monday frowned: "What are you doing?" ”
Opening the door, I put my collar up and jumped out of the car. In an instant, the strong wind overwhelmed me, and the wind and sand poured into my mouth, and I coughed desperately, and finally spit the sand out.
Lao Zhou also came down, he blocked the dust on his face with his hands, and shouted loudly: "Go back to the car." ”
I waved my hand: "You go back first, I'll walk forward, see what's going on, and I'll be back right away." ”
Lao Zhou thought for a while: "Okay, you have to be careful, if the situation is wrong, come back immediately." ”
He went back to the car and pulled out a pair of pipe wrenches for my self-defense. I carried the large pliers, had a bottom in my heart, and walked forward slowly.
Most of the shops on the side of the road are bungalows, with signs hanging on them, what are the words "Welcome Sheep Soup House" and "Good Luck Grocery Store", I found one at random, leaned into the window and looked in, I couldn't see anything, it was dark inside, and I could barely see the outline of the tables and chairs.
A gust of wind blew, and I was chilled and got goosebumps.
I continued to walk, staring at the bungalows on the side of the road, and strangely enough, there was no half of a figure in sight, and the doors and windows of every house were closed.
The watch couldn't measure the time, and I estimated that I had been walking for about ten minutes, when suddenly a car appeared on the side of the road in front of me. I was ecstatic that I finally saw the car, and maybe someone inside could ask for directions.
I walked over with difficulty, and when I came to the front of the car and saw the license plate and the appearance of the car, I was stupid and my brain went blank.
This car is actually Lao Zhou's car!
I came to the car window in the wind and sand, patted hard, and a figure gathered in the window to look out, it was Lao Zhou.
This thing is simply incredible, Lao Zhou's car is supposed to be behind me, why can I walk and see it again, it actually appeared in front. The possible explanation is that I'm unconsciously going around in circles, is there something wrong with this path?
I'm sure I'm going in a straight line, or so I think, and I can't imagine why I turned back again.
The car door opened, and Lao Zhou looked at me in surprise: "You're back." ”
I was about to say something when suddenly it went dark and I couldn't see anything. At this moment, I suddenly lost my sight.
