Chapter 20: The Lost Highway

"Okay, Mr. Wang, don't worry, you can rest assured, I will definitely complete the task, thank you for your concern." This was said by a man who looked to be twenty-five or sixteen, wearing a leather coat, driving a jeep and wearing Bluetooth headphones in his ears.

"You remember to take the big roads, don't go to the small roads, don't go to the small roads to save time, the small roads are too bumpy." A middle-aged man's voice came out of the headphones.

"Okay, okay, thank you Mr. Wang for your concern." The man said this, thinking that you are a stingy ghost, are you afraid that I will take the trail and accidentally touch the company's car, right? The more you say that, the more I'm going to go like this! After saying that, I turned a corner and drove to a small road next to it, although it is a small road, but it looks very well repaired, and it is also a very flat cement road, I don't know why I don't let this path go, after driving for a while, two big trees appeared next to the road, very large trees.

"That's good, you remember not to take that path, I heard...."Suddenly there was no sound over there, and the man followed? Feed? Feed? After feeding several times and no one responded, the man took out his mobile phone to see, there was no signal, and the man said impatiently: "I just said that the company gave me this broken phone and this broken phone card is not good, and there is no signal when I play, which is annoying." The man rolled his eyes angrily, took the Bluetooth headset off his ears, threw it back angrily, and continued to drive, at this time the scenery on both sides of the car was bare everywhere, only the place where there was a sudden signal just now, there were two tall trees, and the branches were luxuriant, both trees were covered with the sunshine on the road at that time, and it was full of shade in that short section of the road, and there was a cold feeling at the moment of driving, but the man was angry at the time, and did not respond much to this.

The man was still driving, he looked at the navigation, the navigation failed, and he stayed in the section of the road where the signal was lost just now, for an hour... Two hours... Three hours... The man sensed that something was wrong, why didn't he go out for so long? Normally, it doesn't take half an hour, huh? And how come there are no cars nearby? Only have your own car? The man parked the car on the side, got out of the car and lit a cigarette first, then looked around, and when he saw the back of the car, the two big trees were not far from him, but the man didn't notice it, and after smoking and resting, he got into the car again and continued to drive, this time he didn't drive fast, because he had to carefully observe the surrounding environment, and the man noticed that every 10 seconds or so, there were two big trees passing by, but with his eyes, the front was empty, and the big tree seemed to appear suddenly.

This lasted for more than half an hour, the man stopped the car, walked out, looked around, there was no tree in front, the two trees behind were still in the place where they appeared last time, exactly the same distance, the sky had begun to get late, according to the plan, this time had arrived, and he had finished dealing with what he was going to do and was ready to come back, what's wrong? I'm lost? No, it's just this road, it's always going in.

I smoked a cigarette again, and walked over to an old man, the old man was very short, with a hat, and the clothes he wore were like on TV, the poor people during the Republic of China period, the hunchback was very powerful, and it looked like it was less than one meter four, which made the man feel a little strange, and he wanted to say that there are any very backward villages around here? While thinking like this, I often looked at the road where the old man came, but he could only see two trees and a road with no end in sight, and he was wondering when he turned his head to look at the location just now, and found that the old man was gone, why was it so fast? Where did the old man come from? Where are you going?

The man returned to the car, turned on his mobile phone and looked at it, but there was still no signal, and then he suddenly remembered what Mr. Wang had just said, don't take the path, don't take the trail, I heard... What the hell did you hear? Why did Mr. Wang let me come, why didn't he find someone else? What's wrong with this path? Why am I disobedient? Why do you take this path with your hands on the steering wheel? Why is there no signal on this road as soon as I come here, and why is the old man so strange just now? Why are those two trees always behind you? The man's mind was full of why, he wanted to know too much, he started the car again, the car couldn't start, only the sound of not starting, which made the man feel scared and upset, and the man began to scold: "Hurry up!!" Hurry up!! Fuck you uncle, hurry up and launch!! Exercise! Come on!!!! The man finally roared, his glasses were bloodshot, as if there were tears, and his head was covered with sweat, but the car still didn't start.

Thinking of this, the man began to regret his choice, began to half-cry and half-laugh, raised his head, leaned back on the seat, and then saw the old man wearing a hat from the rearview mirror, the man wanted to get out of the car for help, and said in his heart what if this old man was not human? After thinking about it, I felt that I might be too tired, and asked what I should know, so I got out of the car, and when I got to the old man, I was about to talk about the old man, but I held it back and changed my words: "Uncle? Where is this? ”

The old man ignored him, continued to walk forward, stopped after a few steps and pointed behind him with his back to the man, the sleeves of the old man's clothes were very long, so long that he couldn't see his hands, the man looked at the old man's hand, the company's car was parked in front of two big trees, not parked in this section of the road, the man ran two steps in the direction of the car excitedly, and then looked back at the old man as if he suddenly remembered something, the old man was gone...

The man began to be scared again, didn't think much about it, turned his head and ran in the direction of the car, but he didn't seem to be able to run anymore, he kept running as if he was running in place, but he never arrived, obviously this road was very close, the man began to sweat when he ran, the man was very tired, leaned over, supported his knees with his hands and gasped for breath and rested for a while, at this time he felt as if there was a shadow in front of him, he was very scared, he didn't dare to look up, but when he saw the shoes and pants, he felt that it was the old man just now, Since he helped me just now, I can do it now, right? The man thought so in his heart, felt a little lighter all of a sudden, and raised his head sharply with joy, only to see that the old man's face was full of hair, yellow hair, no facial features, and the head and body were at a right angle of 90, the head was close to the left shoulder, and the neck was also full of hair, head, neck, and the body was like an Allen wrench in an L-shape, the man opened his mouth wide in fear, his eyes widened, and his throat made a sound like a sewer drain, and the old man's head moved and became straight, Moved to the right again to become a 90-degree right angle, then moved again to become straight, and then moved forward, becoming a 90-degree right angle, the old man's face appeared, not a person, it was an animal's face, as if it was a weasel, two eyes glowing looking at the man, the man's legs were weak, almost kneeling, but still holding on, the animal's face began to smile at the man, the voice was particularly sharp, particularly uncomfortable, the man closed his eyes in fear, and bit his left hand fiercely, hoping that this was a dream, because he was too afraid, biting too fast, so I didn't bite my hand, I bit the tip of my tongue first, and the blood on the tip of my tongue spurted out, and the man closed his eyes in pain, feeling dizzy and fell to the ground.

I woke up again by the sound of the car behind me, the man sat in the car and fell asleep, at this time just opened his eyes, and the person behind him was not very good-tempered, The horn sounded for 2.3 minutes, there was road rage, although the side could pass, but because of the anger in the back honked the horn not overtaking, other cars passed by, only this person was honking, 3 minutes did not move, the person in the back car got out of the car angrily, planning to fight with the man, the man just woke up at this time, the person in the back car angrily opened the car door, just about to swing his fist, the man saw a normal person, excited moment opened his hand to hold each other and said: "Thank you!" Thank you! Thank you for saving me!! ”

The person behind the car was originally very angry, but the man suddenly made him startled by such a move, and after saying a word of unkindness, he returned to his car, and then overtook and drove away, shaking his head and driving away, scolding while leaving: "Damn, forgive me for being a psychopath!" ”

The man started the car and continued to drive, muttering to himself, "It turned out to be a dream!" How could I suddenly fall asleep? At the same time, he started the car, drove forward and found that the path he had just walked on the right hand was the path he had just walked, the two big trees, the old man was facing away from him in the shadow of the big tree, he could only see his clothes and hat, he couldn't see his face, the man was afraid of the accelerator and drove away, wasn't that a person, wasn't it a dream just now? Or am I not awake? The man kicked the accelerator and rushed out at an accelerated pace, and after a while, the phone rang, and the man picked it up.

"Where have you been? Why is there no signal or a power outage? Haven't answered the phone for so long? Mr. Wang said on the other end of the phone, and the man said as if he heard the voice of his life-saving benefactor: "Mr. Wang ran out of signal just now, what do you want to say?" Mr. Wang said: "Don't take that path, I heard that many people can't get out of that path, they will get lost in it, usually it takes three or four days to get out, or call the police, the police can only find people after the police, although I don't know why, but you have to be careful, don't take that road." The man replied with a hint of crying, "Okay." ”

After the matter was done, the man returned to the company and told his close colleagues what had happened, and the colleagues told their friends, and the friends told their parents, and the friends' parents told the man and their colleagues that when they were young, the adults were not allowed to go anywhere, saying that there was a nest of weasels when their parents were young, and it was just after the end of the Anti-Japanese War, during the civil war, the grenade blew up the nest during the war, and the female weasel and the three baby weasels in the nest died, and the male weasel was not dead when he was looking for food outside, When I came back, I found that they were all dead, and I kept circling around the two trees, and kept turning and turning, and then there were often accidents, and many people couldn't get out when they walked in, and they would encounter hallucinations, saying that they saw an old man, full of hair, with a weasel's face, although they all said so, but there were few people who had seen it, and I didn't know whether it was true or not, but it was true that everyone who went would get lost, although we hadn't been there, but we have always had related rumors.

The man and his colleague looked at each other after listening, especially the man, and he was convinced of it, because he had seen it with his own eyes, and the man did not know what to call what he saw that day, weasel? Geezer? Is he or is it taking revenge? Or is there some other purpose? Although I don't know the ultimate goal, men have since become very obedient to others' persuasion, this is what the old people often say, it is better to believe it than to believe it!?
