Chapter Twenty-Six: Lost
Hangzhou West Lake Tourist Scenic Spot, the season in early December is not the peak tourist season, the weather forecast said that it was about to snow, rejected the request of Li Mengqi and others, Huairou still decided to continue to go south to Jiangxi to see.
Brother Shan also received a call from the hotel, so he had to take the car back to the hotel to deal with it first, and called Huairou to his side alone when he left at the station.
"Rou girl, Brother Shan is going back. The rest of the way, you and the prodigal son should be careful, I am not worried about the prodigal son, but you should be more careful as a girl's family. ”
"Thank you, Brother Shan, don't worry, I will take care of myself."
Brother Shan's words were full of concern, like Uncle Shen who took her in and trusted her.
"What's polite, Brother Shan can see that you are a good girl, and he treats you as a girl. This is a little bit of Brother Shan's heart, you keep it. ”
Brother Shan said and stuffed a stack of money for Huairou, and the thick pile of 100 yuan in cash was like a hot potato, and Huairou hurriedly pushed it back.
"Brother Shan, I can't take it!"
"Why are you so stubborn, this girl is borrowed from Brother Shan, and you will pay me back when you find your home!"
Stuffed into Huairou's hand without refusal, Brother Shan happily patted her shoulder, turned his head and said a few words to Shen Lang and walked towards the station.
After saying goodbye and going on the road, Huairou was the only one left in the empty carriage, and suddenly felt a little missed the excitement of Li Mengqi when they were there.
When Brother Shan left, he gave her a thousand yuan, although it was not much, but it was a lot for her penniless, and now she had food, clothing and accommodation all in Shen Lang's pocket.
Although it is said that her 100,000 check is in Shen Lang's hand, it is a blank check after all, as the saying goes: take other people's hands short, eat other people's soft mouths.
These words are not unreasonable, and she can't always rely on Shen Lang, so after thinking about it for a long time, she still put the money in case of emergency.
owes so many personal debts, and the first thing she must do when she gets back her memory must be repaid, hopefully, she can find useful clues as soon as possible.
The journey had been delayed for so long that if it weren't for the nightmare of midnight, she would have forgotten that she was looking for memories.
Opening the map and following the instructions of the navigator, maybe she should study the specific path and how to walk.
"There are many famous mountain temples in Jiangxi, which one do you plan to go to first?"
Looking at Huairou who was studying the map in the passenger seat, Shen Lang asked.
"Let's go to Lushan Donglin Temple first."
The map was spread back to her knees, Huairou reached out and pinched the bridge of her nose to relax, sighed and folded the map of the whole country and put it back in place.
There are too few clues in the photos to determine the specific location at all, and I came to Jiangxi just to try my luck, after all, there are many famous temples and attractions here.
In this era of developed networks, in addition to navigators and RVs, the methods they use are all old and toothless.
However, who let her only have the clues of that half of the photo, so it is destined to be a journey that requires patience to find a needle in a haystack.
Follow the navigator's prompts to turn and then turn and go straight, from the originally spacious road to the narrow and bumpy dirt road, holding the seat belt Huairou feels like he is going to be thrown out of the car, and the collision of things in the back compartment is loud.
"Are we on the wrong track?"
The headlights shone on the potholed road ahead, and it looked like a deserted place, how did you get here?
Before Shen Lang could reply, the tires slipped and hit the tree trunk in front of him, and the dry leaves fell on the windshield.
Huairou was almost thrown out of the seat, but fortunately there was a seat belt, otherwise she would definitely hit the glass, but the seat belt was also strangled and she almost couldn't breathe.
"Ahem, ahem...... What's going on? ”
"I'll go down and have a look."
After speaking, Shen Lang pulled the car door and got out of the car to check, the front cover of the car was only a few scratches, but looking around the surrounding environment was like a mountain forest, and there was no light on the road.
I got into the car and wanted to reverse the car, but I couldn't catch fire, but the hit I just hit was not serious.
Huairou watched Shen Lang get out of the car again, and couldn't help but follow.
"What's wrong?"
"The car broke down, the gas ran out, the dashboard didn't display, and I couldn't walk."
Closing the front cover of the car, Shen Lang's tone was a little helpless.
Turn off the navigator and the two sat in the car, the time was already 7:20 in the evening, there was silence all around, only the sound of the cold wind blowing, and it was extremely cold tonight.
The cell phone showed only one bar, and I couldn't even make a call, and I didn't know where they were.
They are lost.
The carriage was much warmer than the outside of the car, remembering that neither of them had dinner, and thinking of the noodle soup that Shen Lang had helped her make before.
"I'll cook."
"Will you?"
Shen Lang looked at Huairou with some suspicion, he hadn't seen her cook, and he didn't know if she could cook.
Ignoring Shen Lang's suspicions, after getting into the carriage, he took out eggs, vegetables and noodles, and even turned out a package of ham sausages.
Shen Lang leaned to the side with interest to watch her busy work, the induction cooker was plugged in, the eggs were fried, and the ham was simply stir-fried for later use, and then the boiling water in the pot poured the seaweed bun in, and a fresh fragrance wafted out, making Shen Lang feel a little hungry.
Sprinkle the noodles into the pot and cook, a thick white mist rises in the small space, and then put the eggs and ham mixed in the pot, the washed lettuce is thrown in, a little fine sand salt and soybean sauce mix well and a few drops of sesame oil out of the pot.
The fragrant eggs and green vegetables and seaweed noodles came out of the pot, and Shen Lang, who was full of color and flavor, was a little overflowing, and he didn't know if he was hungry or really too appetizing.
After eating and drinking, the two sat in the RV, Shen Lang turned on the radio broadcast, and the sound of zila la came, probably because the signal was unstable.
"Today at noon...... Jail...... There's a gang of ...... Please ...... the city Reporting ......"
The host's intermittent voice, without a complete sentence, simply turned it off, pulled out the key and stuffed it into his pocket.
Shen Lang took out his mobile phone to check the time, and saw that the signal was still only vaguely one, and he tried to make a call but could only hear a busy signal.
"Still no signal, I'll look around and see the environment."
"I'll go with you."
Huairou said and picked up her coat and put it on, but was stopped by Shen Lang raising his hand.
"You better stay in the car and don't move around, I'll be back soon."
"Okay, then be careful."
Lifting the window screen and looking at the woods outside, Huairou saw Shen Lang's figure in the distance, and she was the only one under the lights in the carriage, and she was a little flustered inexplicably.
I took out the map and looked at the routes, but I didn't have a clue where they were now, when suddenly, there was a noise of footsteps outside the car.
I thought it was Shen Lang who came back and didn't pay much attention to it, but after waiting for a while, I didn't see any movement in the car door, and the footsteps were gone.
I frowned and listened carefully, and the sound of footsteps seemed to be walking around the car, but when I listened carefully, there was no sound, and there was only the rustle of leaves blown by the wind outside the car.
Closing the map, she dimmed the lights in the car, and looked around the window, and a shadow reflected in the window of the passenger door.
Judging from his height, it is not Shen Lang, but at such a late hour, there will be others in a remote place?
Huairou vigilantly took the fruit knife and stared at the motionless figure in the window.
Click.
There was a soft sound of the handlebars, and the man tentatively pulled a few times but failed to open it, and Huairou in the room took a deep breath nervously.
Dangdang, there was a knock on the car door, and the dark shadow spoke.
"Anyone?"
It was a man's voice, and it sounded like a middle-aged man.
Huairou pondered whether to answer, and the man began to say again, "Hello, I'm a resident of a nearby town, anyone?" ”
"Is there something wrong?"
Huairou tried her best to make her voice seem calm, and the people outside the car seemed a little happy to hear her voice.
"Hey, that's it, I broke my leg while walking at night. When I saw that there was a car here, I wanted to ask if you could give me a ride. ”
Thinking for a moment with the fruit knife behind her back, Huairou opened the curtain and looked at the man outside the car, the light in the car hitting the man's dark face.
"Hello, can you give me a ride?"
The man was wearing a black jacket that didn't fit well, and the long down jacket covered the knees around the neck, and it was too dark to see outside the car.
"You're hurt?" Looking at men with some suspicion, Huairou felt that it was not as simple as that.
"Yes, I wanted to take a shortcut to the mountain road, and I didn't pay attention to the leg and fell on my leg. Look, can you let me go in first, it's too cold outside. ”
The man's begging complexion, his nose and ears were red from the cold, and he put one hand on his right leg and the other in his mouth to warm up.
opened the door to let the man in, and through the light, Huairou saw that the hem of his right leg was a brown liquid, which was really injured and not light.
"Thank you. It's so late, why are you alone in the mountains? Camping? ”
"Nope. Do you have any injuries to deal with? ”
Huairou saw that the pants on his right leg were red and seemed to be oozing blood, could it be that he broke his leg?
"Can you help me? That's so much appreciated. ”
Nodding and getting up to the cabinet, Huairou remembered that there was a medical box here, and as soon as she opened the drawer, she heard the sound of the car door opening.
Turning his head suddenly, he saw the injured man standing in front of the car door, and out of nowhere two uninvited guests in prison uniforms appeared.
"Hehe, eldest brother really has you, it's so easy to fool her." One of the men with sinister eyebrows looked at Huairou and smiled.
"Don't talk nonsense, take advantage of that man's not coming back, and drive away quickly!" The injured man reversed the cowardly look just now, and a fierce light appeared in his eyes.
One of them had already pulled out of the driver's seat, and the man with the thief's eyelid and the injured man got into the compartment and quickly closed the door.
"Big brother! No car keys! The man in front of him turned back and reported.
Huairou took the opportunity to grab the medical kit in front of him and threw it at the injured man, rolled his back on the spot, stuck to the back door, and his fingers had hooked the doorknob, pulled the car door and quickly got into the bathroom behind.
"! This chick is going to run! ”
The thief-eyed man blocked the medicine box for the injured man, and the gauze potion was scattered all over the ground, and he threw himself on the door and slammed it hard with his hand.
Huairou pushed open the back door of the RV and jumped out of the car and ran into the woods, she didn't know where Shen Lang was now, but this group of people was not kind people at first glance, so they could only escape first.
"Catch her!" The injured man pulled the car door and burst into drinks, and the man with the thief's eyebrows and rat-eyed eyes had already chased after Huairou.
The physical disparity between men and women is too great, and the unfamiliarity of the environment makes Huairou can only run away without a purpose.
"Hey, you're pretty good at running. Where do you want to go? I'll let you run! ”
The thief-eyed man gritted his teeth and pounced, and Huairou's body twisted flexibly to avoid his claws.
Seeing that the blow failed, the man with the thief's eyebrows rubbed the back of his hand against his nose, turned around and pounced again, but this time before Huairou could dodge, another person sprang out from behind her and hugged her firmly.
The unfamiliar touch made Huairou raise her foot and kick back without hesitation, and there was a muffled hum behind her, and then she was thrown to the ground hard, her body hit the stones, and her tears almost burst out in pain, and her painful body spasmed and couldn't get up for a while.
