It was already completely dark.

In addition to Lin Chu, there are occasionally a few trucks and buses on this asphalt national highway, but private cars are rare.

After the fright of the black cat in the afternoon, Ma Dazhuang drove much more cautiously.

Momo in the passenger seat suddenly whispered: "Da Zhuang, I want to shhhhhh ”

Ma Dazhuang parked the car on the side of the road, got out of the car with Momo, and walked to the woods next to him.

Xu Minghao asked, "Cousin, are you going to release the water?" ”

Lin Chu shook his head: "Don't go." ”

Xu Minghao got out of the car by himself: "Then I'll go alone." ”

Lin Chu reminded in the car: "Don't pick up the things in the mountains. ”

Xu Minghao replied outside: "Got it." ”

After a while, Xu Minghao returned.

The two waited in the car for a few minutes, but they didn't see Ma Dazhuang and Momo come back.

Xu Minghao kept sticking his head out of the window and looking out: "Why haven't they come back yet, Brother Ma?" ”

Lin Chu said: "Don't worry, girls just want to be troublesome." ”

After a few more minutes, Ma Dazhuang helped Momo back.

Ma Dazhuang returned to the car, did not rush to drive, but fiddled with the navigation and said, "In about another hour, you will be able to reach a small county town ahead." Let's find a shop in the city for one night, and continue our journey tomorrow morning, and we will be able to reach Akiyama Paradise by the afternoon at the latest. ”

Momo covered her stomach: "Dazhuang, don't talk about it, hurry up and drive, I'm dying of hunger." ”

Lin Chu said kindly: "Do you want to eat cookies?" We brought some with us. ”

Momo looked disgusted: "Biscuits? I never eat this kind of junk food that makes me fat. ”

Lin Chu smiled helplessly, he shouldn't have asked her more.

Ma Dazhuang continues to drive often before driving.

Gradually, however, the road became narrower and more rugged, and the trees and weeds on both sides became more and more luxuriant.

Originally four lanes, it gradually became a two-lane road, and now it is almost a one-way street.

And the road surface has also changed from asphalt to cement road unconsciously, and finally to the gravel road with potholes now.

Lin Chu couldn't help but ask, "Dazhuang, why is this road getting more and more wrong?" ”

Ma Dazhuang replied: "I drove according to the navigation." ”

Lin Chu frowned and said, "No matter how you look at this road, it doesn't look like entering the county seat. ”

Xu Minghao nodded and agreed: "That's right, that's right, it's like a small mountain road into the village." Brother Ma, take a good look again, did you set the wrong destination for navigation when you got it just now? ”

Ma Dazhuang also suspected that when he was operating just now, he accidentally clicked to where and reset the destination.

So he immediately released the throttle, stopped the car and started checking the navigation.

Ma Dazhuang just clicked on the details of the navigation interface, and suddenly the screen flashed and it was all black.

He pressed it for a long time, but he couldn't come back.

Lin Chu leaned up and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Ma Dazhuang wiped a handful of sweat: "The navigation is dead, and I can't turn it on." ”

Momo propped her feet on the driver's platform, curled up on the seat, and said weakly: "Dazhuang, can you be reliable, I'm about to starve to death." ”

Xu Minghao said: "We can try mobile phone navigation!" ”

As a result, everyone took out their mobile phones and saw that there was no signal at all in the mountain.

Momo suddenly realized the seriousness of the matter at this time, she put down her feet, sat up straight, looked at the dark mountains and forests outside the window, swallowed her saliva and said, "Dazhuang, we won't really get lost, right?" ”

Lin Chu said: "It's not that serious, we haven't driven into this path for half an hour, we shouldn't have driven far, just go back and follow the road now." ”

Ma Dazhuang agreed: "Lin Zi is right! ”

Immediately, he turned around and drove back with difficulty.

The weeds and trees on both sides were pale under the illumination of the headlights.

On top of that, it's a gloomy deep mountain forest.

From time to time, there are bursts of birds and insects.

The atmosphere is very permeating.

Momo looked out the window and folded her arms in fear: "You say, there shouldn't be any man-eating beasts in this mountain, right?" ”

Ma Dazhuang comforted her not to think too much, saying that these two Lexus SUVs are not afraid of seeing hippos rhinoceros even if they drive to Africa.

But what Lin Chu thought in his heart was that if there were only man-eating beasts in this mountain, it would be easy, but he was afraid that there would be something else......

Bang Dang!

The car swayed back and forth sharply.

It seems that something has been scraped on the ground.

Ma Dazhuang stopped the car.

The three men got out of the car together to check.

It turned out to be a big rock.

Lin Chu smiled and said, "Da Zhuang, why are your eyes so bad, you haven't seen such a big stone?" Are you a rooster who can't see at night? ”

Actually, there was nothing funny about it, he just wanted to adjust the tense atmosphere along the way.

Ma Dazhuang couldn't laugh at all.

On the contrary, he looked around in confusion and muttered to himself: It's really strange, I've been staring at the road carefully, and I didn't see this stone......

The three men got the stone out, moved it to the side of the road, and continued driving back.

After about half an hour, they managed to get out of the single-lane hill road and back to the two-lane concrete road, but no matter how they walked, they could not return to the original four-lane asphalt road.

Xu Minghao looked at the empty mountain road outside the window, and said suspiciously: "This is also a big road, why don't we have a passing car?" ”

Lin Chu pondered: "Maybe this is an old road. The asphalt road we took at the beginning was the new road. With a new road, who will open the old road. ”

Ma Dazhuang agreed: "It makes sense. Regardless of the new road or the old road, we are all going to one place, and as long as we follow this old road, we will definitely be able to enter the city. ”

However, they drove along this "old road" for more than two hours, and not only did they not even see the shadow of the county seat, but they also did not see even a small village and town.

It's eleven forty-eight p.m., the eve of midnight.

Lin Chu and his entourage were on the way to Akiyama Paradise by car, but because of a navigation failure, they were taken into a detour.

Eventually get lost on this abandoned unknown old mountain road.

"Dazhuang, what the hell are you driving the car to!" Momo looked out the window at the increasingly desolate mountains and forests, tears rolling in her eyes.

Ma Dazhuang's forehead was already covered with a layer of fine beads of sweat.

He also wants to know, what the fuck is this place?!

At this time, when his mentality collapsed a little, the car suddenly turned off and couldn't be ignited.

This is simply to add insult to injury.

"Damn!"

Ma Dazhuang patted the steering wheel with both hands.

"Woo...... I want to go home. ”

Momo also whimpered and cried.

Lin Chu glanced at his mobile phone, but there was still no signal.

Ma Dazhuang opened the car door at this time, got out of the car and smoked against the back of the car.

Lin Chu also got out of the car and came to him.

Ma Dazhuang showed out the cigarette box: "Linzi, do you want one?" ”

Lin Chu shook his head and refused: "You know I don't smoke." ”

Ma Dazhuang said angrily: "Why did you say that you were so unlucky today, just out of the deep city, I bumped into a black cat and almost fell into the ditch." Then the broken navigation in the car went wrong again, and it took us to this ghost place where there was no signal. It's good now, even the car is completely dumb! Sure enough, this little Japanese car can't be trusted. ”

After smoking and venting, Ma Dazhuang's mood calmed down a lot, and then he went to comfort Momo, who was still crying in the car.

Xu Minghao got out of the car and came to Lin Chu's side, and asked with a sad face, "Cousin, what should I do now?" ”

Lin Chu sighed and said: "Now the black light is blind, and the car is not easy to repair, even if the car is repaired, you can't continue to go, otherwise you don't know where it will go." Let's wait until dawn. ”

"You're going to spend the night here?"

Xu Minghao glanced around with some fear.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, as if he had seen something, and he pointed to the front and said excitedly: "Cousin, look, is that a small house?" ”

Lin Chu took two steps forward, and when he looked closely, there was a small bungalow on the side of the road.

Xu Minghao ran back excitedly and shouted, "Brother Ma, there is a house in front, maybe someone lives in it." ”

As soon as Momo heard this, she immediately stopped crying, which was much more useful than Ma Dazhuang's rhetorical comfort for half a day.

The two got out of the car and took a look.

Momo danced happily and said, "Dazhuang, there really is a room!" ”

Ma Dazhuang pondered: "It is true that there is a room, but there is such a small house inside, will anyone really live in it?" Why are there no lights? ”

Xu Minghao said optimistically: "Maybe it's so late, people have already slept." ”

Lin Chu sighed in his heart when he listened to it, where did his cousin get such a blindly optimistic spirit, that kind of small bungalow on the side of the old road in the mountains, how could anyone live?

Most of them were temporary shelters for former road maintenance workers, but now they have long since been abandoned along with the road.

Everyone decided to go over and have a look together.

When I walked to the door of the small bungalow, I found a sign hanging on the door.

A photo with a mobile phone, with four words written: Home of Travelers.

The door was hidden, and when it was opened, there were exactly three beds in the room, cushioned with natural palms, although not as good as the hotel at home, but at least more comfortable than the car all night.

So Momo immediately said that she would sleep in this small house specially built for passing travelers at night.

Ma Dazhuang and Xu Minghao also had no opinion.

Only Lin Chu has not yet expressed his position.

Because at this time he was holding a flashlight and looking at the three paintings on the wall.

The three rectangular paintings are three busts of almost life-size proportions.

The three men in the painting are about thirty years old, and their expressions are very serious and cold.

Lin Chu was very strange, why did he hang these three portraits in this family of travelers, could it be that they were the builders of this hut?

In addition, Lin Chu could no longer find any other reasonable reason to explain these three portraits.

Ma Dazhuang came over and asked, "Lin Zi, we all agreed to sleep in this donkey friend's house for the time being tonight, what is your opinion?" ”

Lin Chu withdrew his gaze from the painting and said, "Since you have no opinion, then I have no opinion either." ”

After that, they went back to the car and came back with some clothing, food and water.

Lin Chu and Xu Minghao each slept in a bed, and Ma Dazhuang and Momo slept in a bed.

When he was about to fall asleep, Lin Chu used his clothes to cover the painting facing his bed.

The other three also drew scoops on the gourd, covering the remaining two paintings.

Although it was just a painting hanging on the wall, it was still not very comfortable to be stared at by the strange man on the painting.

After covering the painting, everyone slept well that night, and nothing happened.

The next morning it was dawn, and Momo was the first to get up.

When she went to take off the coat hanging from the painting, she suddenly screamed loudly!

All three men woke up with a fright.

Momo stared at the wall in horror: "You guys...... Look! ”

It was a rectangular transparent glass window, and the window looked out of the window on the bright morning view of the mountains.

Lin Chu got up and tore open the remaining two clothes hanging on the wall, and there were also transparent glass windows behind them.

There is simply no such thing as last night's three paintings!

Xu Minghao shuddered: "That...... The three paintings on the wall last night are actually ...... Is it actually three men who have been standing outside the window and watching us? ”
