Chapter 26: Memories I
Time back to the night before yesterday, after Xia Beifeng and Xu Tianyang got out of the car, there were only three people left in the car: Qu Yue, Zhao Xinning, and the driver who was driving.
When there were a lot of people before, it was okay, and the two men were giggling and playing with Qu Yue and the two of them, so that people couldn't notice anything unusual.
After the two people got out of the car, Qu Yue chatted with Zhao Xinning for a while about the young and handsome star she liked recently.
Zhao Xinning said thoughtlessly: "It's already twelve o'clock." β
It was like some terrible spell that sealed the mouths of both of them.
Qu Yue suddenly felt a panic for no reason, she subconsciously glanced at Zhao Xinning, but found that Zhao Xinning was also looking at her.
The two girls looked at each other for a moment, neither of them spoke, and a chilling atmosphere spread through the carriage as the silence of the two of them spread.
The ghost story that Xu Tianyang told before suddenly appeared in Qu Yue's mind. Compared with a complete story, this kind of story without an ending and full of mystery is more likely to trigger the human imagination.
The more timid people are, the easier it is to imagine when they encounter this kind of thing. Just like many domestic horror films, people can scare themselves half to death before something really comes out.
Qu Yue is obviously this kind of person, she thought of the piles of ghost fires she had seen in the mountains before from Xu Tianyang's words in this silence, and thought of the strange talks she told during the school dormitory talks, and finally fixed on the various weird legends about the mountain that her family used to scare her when she was a child.
She looked at Zhao Xinning and was hesitating to say what she was afraid of, but she heard the driver driving in front of her speak first.
Maybe like them, they were infected by this strange atmosphere. The middle-aged driver said in a joking tone: "Do the two little sisters in the back have boyfriends?" β
When he said this, his voice actually sounded a little trembling, but the two people who heard this Hu didn't notice this abnormality at all.
Zhao Xinning breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't wait to answer: "Not yet!" I can't look down on the hairy boys at school! Yueyue is my goddess, I want to love her for a lifetime, and I don't give others a chance. β
After she finished speaking, as if she wanted to prove something, she hugged Qu Yue's shoulder and laughed loudly. The driver immediately laughed with her, and Qu Yue, who was infected by the laughter, couldn't help but smile.
This conversation is not funny when you think about it, but the three people in the car seemed to have heard something very ridiculous, and the uncontrollable laughter echoed in the car for a long time before gradually weakening.
After all, the silence was so uncomfortable that they wanted to make the carriage look as lively as possible, even if there was no meaningful topic. It seems that only in this way will the little terrible imagination in my heart be dispelled.
After they finished laughing, there was another moment of silence in the carriage.
The driver had no choice but to provoke the conversation again.
"The gentleman at the back doesn't seem to talk much, do you want to come to the front and talk together? It's not interesting to sit in the last row all the time, and it's easy to get motion sickness after a long time. Let's come to the front, everyone can be a companion......"
He babbled a lot, but the man sitting in the back never responded.
"Maybe I'm asleep." Qu Yue reminded in a low voice: "Let's stop arguing him, we're going to be angry when we wake him up." β
"That's right, you should be sleepy at this late hour. Little girl, why don't you two sleep first, and I'll call you when I ......"
The driver glanced back at the two of them and gave them a friendly smile.
But when he looked back again, he saw a pale and dull-eyed face in the car window.
The face was hanging upside down from the window, and it looked like the body was hanging from the roof of the car. He blocked almost the entire windshield. The two arms hung down beside the head as if they were boneless, and they gently tapped the glass with a crisp knocking sound.
He had a face that the driver felt very familiar.
I've seen this guy before, and I don't think he's a man......
He is......
"Are youβyouβlookingβmeββ" the man asked in an eerie tone.
"Ahhhh
The driver screamed, subconsciously turned the steering wheel, and drove the car to the side.
The bus broke out of the guardrail of the ring road and tumbled down the mountain.
By the time Qu Yue regained consciousness again, it was already dawn. She opened her eyes and saw a face covered in blood outside the car window ~ a gloomy sky.
She was startled at first, and was about to scream, but she recognized the owner of the face in front of her.
Zhao Xinning.
At this time, the bus was stuck diagonally on an ancient tree halfway up the mountain, breaking the ancient tree. The lush canopy of trees blocked half of the car, preventing the car from continuing to roll down the hill.
In this case, the car did not catch fire and exploded, which can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune.
"Ning Ning?" Qu Yue stretched out her hand and pushed Zhao Xinning beside her, and whispered in her ear: "Ning Ning, Ning Ning, wake up." β
Zhao Xinning wrapped his hands around Qu Yue's waist, and half of his body pressed on her body. It seems that he hugged her at the moment of the rollover, protecting her from being injured in the car accident.
As for Zhao Xinning himself, he was cut a long wound on his head by something he didn't know, and his lower ~half~ body was stuck in a fallen seat, and he didn't know if there were any more serious injuries in the place where he couldn't see.
The wound on her head had scabbed over and was no longer bleeding. Qu Yue tentatively reached out and touched the wound, and while still in a coma, Zhao Xinning immediately reflexively twitched~ twitched his brows.
She was so frightened that she retracted her hand and didn't dare to touch it again.
I don't know what happened to the driver.
Qu Yue thought so, and forcefully broke his body out of Zhao Xinning's arms and crawled towards the driver's seat in front.
I didn't feel anything when I didn't move. With this movement, she felt that there were actually a lot of wounds on her body. It's just that they are all bruises caused by the impact, and there are very few places where the skin is broken, compared to Zhao Xinning's terrible wound covered with blood on her face, the bruises on her body are nothing.
However, half of her body was stained red by the blood that flowed from Zhao Xinning's body, and she looked very infiltrating.
The driver lies on the steering wheel. A huge shard of glass was stuck in his shoulder, and one arm hung unnaturally to one side, his face as pale as white paper.
He can't be dead.
Qu Yue worriedly stretched out his hand to test between the driver's mouth and nose, and after feeling the faint airflow, he patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
She has always been timid and afraid, and when she encounters something she can't deal with, she only knows how to cry, and she has no clue in her head, and if no one helps, she can hardly deal with any emergencies.
Just like now, after confirming that Zhao Xinning and the driver will not die for the time being. Her first reaction was to squat on the ground and cry, not even thinking about how to save herself and how to ask for help, just blindly venting her emotions with tears.
Of course, what happened next proved that no matter what she did at that time, she couldn't have a good effect. But her reaction at that time was indeed as she described Xia Beifeng later.
"I feel like I'm a complete piece of shit, and I might as well die."
She cried for a while. was full of grievances, and it wasn't until he heard a painful moan from Zhao Xinning's mouth ~ that he came back to his senses again and began to turn his brain.
"Ning Ning wouldn't have been injured if it wasn't for protecting me at the time, and now I should find a way to save her."
With such a voice ringing in her head, she stopped crying and took out her mobile phone to call for help.
There is no signal on the phone.
So she came to Zhao Xinning's side again, took out her mobile phone, and glanced at Zhao Xinning's situation at the same time.
Zhao Xinning's mobile phone also has no signal.
Her phone wallpaper is a photo of two people taken at school.
Seeing the funny postures of the two smiling girls on the mobile phone screen, Qu Yue once again couldn't hold back her tears.
Zhao Xinning still showed no signs of waking up, and it seemed that the moan~ moan just now was just a physiological reaction caused by the pain of the wound on her body.
After Qu Yue was sure that he couldn't get in touch with the outside world, he began to move Zhao Xinning out from under the seat.
Of course, this thing also failed.
She didn't have much strength, she wasted half a day's strength, and she couldn't separate the heavy seat from Zhao Xinning. On the contrary, a new wound was found on Zhao Xinning's body, and she was so frightened that she immediately stopped the movements of her hands.
That wound was on Zhao Xinning's waist. The armrests of the seat and the ground formed a triangle, blocking Zhao Xinning in the middle, and a sharp and protruding piece of metal on the back of the chair poked Zhao Xinning's side waist and sank under the flesh.
"I don't know how deep that thing is. It still stays on Ning Ning's body, and I'm afraid that if I don't move correctly, it will be bad if the wound is bigger. β
Qu Yueru said to Xia Beifeng.
Later, she tried to move the driver out...... It didn't work out either.
She also tried to leave the car some distance in the afternoon to find a nearby place with a cell phone signal.
Naturally, I didn't find it.
The car fell into a dense wood, and the trees in the forest were all about the same. She had only walked for a short time, and her mind couldn't remember the way she had come.
In order to prevent the situation of "I can't save people, I got lost first", she had to go back to the same place, sit next to the bus, and wait in vain for someone to come to the rescue.
Anyway, if the passenger transport company finds out that a car is lost, it will always come and look for it.
We just don't know if we'll be dead when they find us.
Just when Qu Yue was cold and hungry, constantly comforting herself, and sitting by the car crying silently, the sky gradually darkened.
A day had passed, and no one had found them.
The driver's breathing was getting weaker and weaker, and if no one came to save them, he would probably die.
After testing the driver's breath again, Qu Yue realized a terrifying possibility.
She'd probably spend the night in a deserted woods tonight with a dead man.
As soon as she thought of this, fear once again came to her heart, and with the recollection of last night's events, she could no longer control her emotions,
"Help! Is there anyone to save me? Whoever begs you...... Come on! β
After dark, she cried and shouted loudly at the sky, and her whole person fell into a state of collapse.
She shouted for a long time, and only stopped this senseless cry for help when she heard her voice start to be hoarse, and even the smell of blood rushed up her throat.
The shouts did not reach the ears of the rescuers, but attracted something else.
By the time Qu Yue discovered the flames around him, it was already too late.
Strangely colored flames drifted from under the blades of grass and among the trees. Following her voice, it gathered around her in a huge circle, encircling her and the bus behind her.
She got into the car again in horror and leaned against Zhao Xinning's side. shouted Zhao Xinning's name with all his strength, hoping to wake up his good friend to deal with the situation in front of him together.
I don't know if it was her perseverance that moved something, or when the time came, Zhao Xinning really woke up under her repeated shouts.
Zhao Xinning, who had just woken up, only took less than half a minute to figure out the situation he was in, and tried hard to get his body out of the seat.
Of course, it also ended in failure, and the long strip of metal poked out of the back of the seat pierced into the deep part of her body, and she could feel the piercing pain as long as she moved slightly.
"Yueyue, I probably won't be able to get out, can you tell me what's going on outside?" Zhao Xinning lay on the ground, shook his head and looked at Qu Yue, who was crying helplessly in front of him, endured the pain and said, "You just said a lot of nonsense, and I didn't understand much." What kind of driver is going to die, what the hell...... By the way, isn't there another person in our car? β
Qu Yue realized that she hadn't seen that all day...... Annoying, but the man who should be in this car.
"I don't know where he went, I didn't see him after I woke up, maybe I left first."
"Impossible." Zhao Xinning was in this situation, and he could still calmly analyze the situation: "Although that uncle is very annoying, he shouldn't be a bad person, and he won't die without help." And he's in the car, and you said there's no one around here, and even if he goes, he won't be able to go far, and he'll eventually come back here. β
"Maybe there was someone here when he woke up, or maybe he actually knew the way and left us here."
"No, even if he hates us to that extent, there is a driver in the car, if he really knows the road, he will bring someone to save us. As for saying that there are people around him, it is even more impossible, even if he doesn't save him when he sees death, others will not be so indifferent. β
"It seems to make sense, so where do you think he went?" Qu Yue curled up beside Zhao Xinning, pouted in confusion, and inadvertently glanced out the window, her eyes widened suddenly.
The flames outside were densely pasted on the window glass. It was like a myriad of ill-intentioned eyes, flashing with a cold light, staring at the three poor humans in the car.
"Ning Ning, look outside, they're coming!"
Qu Yue grabbed Zhao Xinning's shoulder and shouted anxiously.
"Don't make a noise, I saw it."
Zhao Xinning frowned painfully, pretended to be calm and glanced out of the window, then quickly retracted his gaze, and his voice trembled uncontrollably: "Don't shake my shoulder, I have pain everywhere on my body now."
"Oh! I'm sorry! Qu Yue quickly withdrew his hand, hugged his shoulders, and shrank even more.
"Now that I think about it, there's only one possibility." Zhao Xinning took a shallow breath, moved his body~ body, and couldn't help grinning the corners of his mouth when he pulled the wound on his body: "That person was not in the car before we fell." β
"And where do you think he is now?"
"Who knows, maybe I fell halfway through."
Zhao Xinning said impatiently, raised his head and glanced out of the car again, and his face, which was already pale and blue from blood loss, instantly became even more ugly.
"Yueyue." Zhao Xinning stared intently at the window: "Someone is coming outside." β
"Huh? Is it here to save us? Qu Yue raised her head excitedly, tears of excitement flashed in her eyes: "Great, I'll go outside and call him." β
Zhao Xinning stared at the dusty figure outside the window, couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, and stopped Qu Yue's movements.
"Don't go." Her voice trembled, as if she had seen something extremely frightening: "Don't go outside, the one outside...... He's not human. β
