Chapter 10 Cancer
Jiang Shan could only squeeze into a corner, the rear compartment and the cab were completely isolated, and they could only see each other through the extremely thick glass windows, and they couldn't even seem to hear the voice.
Just waiting for the car to start - Jiang Shan found that he was still naΓ―ve.
The driver didn't know if he had driven a go-kart bumper car before, and he didn't have the slightest sense of safe traffic, and he could run over a big pebble on the ground, and he didn't care if the wheels were about to shake off.
Jiang Shan didn't expect that he had escaped all kinds of "excitement" during the trip, and he hadn't escaped the crazy swaying of this broken truck.
Looking at Wei Yuan again, he held the crossbar of the rear car with his hand, and stuck the wheelchair just between the two oil drums, as if he was accustomed to this kind of life-threatening bumps.
Although Jiang Shan was stunned, she found that she magically did not vomit, as if she hadn't felt nauseous for a long time.
The truck drove until dark without stopping, and Jiang Shan actually saw the red moon outside the open compartment.
She heard that only the last days would see the red moon, but later she found out that it was because of the discolored glass of the car window.
At this time, Jiang Shan's stomach suddenly screamed out of place.
The truck was driving with a loud noise, as if the engine had been overwhelmed and struggling to let out its last gasp.
Only Wei Yuan, who was also in the back compartment, heard this stomach scream, and he slowly raised his eyes to look at Jiang Shan.
Jiang Shan remained motionless, but turned his face to the side, masking her expression.
Wei Yuan turned his wheelchair and turned around towards the corner, then his hand touched somewhere, and then he retracted it, and there was one more thing in his hand.
He pushed the wheelchair to Jiang Shan's side and handed the things in his hand to her: "Eat this." β
Jiang Shan raised her head and saw that it was a vacuum-packed sandwich, she slowly raised her hands, and now her hands were wrapped in protective gloves, and she could no longer see the blackened fingers.
Jiang Shan took the sandwich, and through the gloves, he could feel that it was as hard as a brick, and the plastic film tightly wrapped the food inside, but a section of the food was still slightly blackened.
Are you sure it hasn't expired?
Wei Yuan said: "Now there is only this kind of food, let's make do with it." β
Jiang Shan hadn't understood the meaning of making do with the representation at this time, but when she ate, she had to take off her hood, didn't these people avoid her like a snake and scorpion?
In the cab, the girl named Zhao Ying had been quietly looking through the glass to the back compartment, and she observed Jiang Shan taking the food, with panic in her eyes.
Others also noticed that Qi Brush turned their heads to look at this.
Wei Yuan shook his head at them, making eye contact with them, and finally Wei Yuan said, "Pull up the protective curtain of the car window, it'll be fine." "And the way back will take ten days and half a month, so it's impossible not to let Jiang Shan eat.
The others were obviously unwilling, but they had to obey Wei Yuan, and they saw that Zhao Ying gritted his teeth and reached out to pull down a black curtain, and suddenly the only glass window in the cab was covered.
Jiang Shan: "......"
Wei Yuan looked at Jiang Shan again at this time and said softly, "Take off the hood." β
Jiang Shan looked at Wei Yuan, Wei Yuan didn't even wear protective clothing, and dared to stay in the same space with her, and he didn't even shy away from contacting her.
Jiang Shan pulled down the zipper of his protective suit and forcefully pulled off the heavy glass hood.
Jiang Shan was indeed hungry, and after taking off the hood, he immediately tore open the bag and took a bite of it.
The sandwich was salty and hard, but it didn't affect Jiang Shan's ability to eat very comfortably, as if she hadn't eaten such delicious food for a long time?
A suspected moldy sandwich?
Jiang Shan took a deep breath, and when he came back to his senses, he looked at the empty plastic packaging bag in his hand in surprise, Wei Yuan looked at her silently, and there was a little more exploration in those eyes.
Jiang Shan pursed his thin lips, and without waiting for Wei Yuan to speak, he took the initiative to lift the hood at his feet and put it back on.
Jiang Shan, who was well-fed, leaned his back against the wall of the compartment completely, the bumps of the vehicle were beyond imagination, and the driver was obviously driving with all his strength, and the accelerator was driving wildly in the end, as if he was in a hurry to get rid of something behind him.
Jiang Shan hugged the backpack in his arms tightly, and people always subconsciously wanted to grab some of their own things to resist the uneasiness that flowed faintly in the air.
She looked up at the mountains that had disappeared in front of her, and she could only see some outlines of the ravines.
Wei Yuan had been observing her, and every detail of Jiang Shan's expression fell into his eyes, until Jiang Shan suddenly turned his face and looked directly at him.
Wei Yuan didn't feel any embarrassment or panic, he just asked slowly, "Are you sick?" What disease? β
Jiang Shan looked at him, turned his face back for a long time, and wrote lightly: "Cancer." β
Wei Yuan: "......"
Wei Yuan obviously couldn't ask what kind of cancer it was, usually the meaning of the word cancer was enough.
Wei Yuan fell silent again.
Jiang Shan closed his eyes, no matter whether he slept or not, the meaning of refusing to communicate again was already very obvious. Jiang Shan was tired and chaotic now, and besides, she was still very unfamiliar with Wei Yuan and these people, and she didn't want to talk too much.
Wei Yuan silently withdrew his gaze.
Jiang Shan fell asleep in a daze, was woken up again, and then continued the cycle, the weather outside was either gray or dark, and finally Jiang Shan couldn't tell how long it was.
β¦β¦
In the cab, I don't know who scolded: "Damn, it's out of gas again." β
Jiang Shan finally felt that the car had slowed down, and he finally stopped breathing. seemed to vaguely know what so many oil drums were doing in the back compartment, and the sturdy tall man in the co-pilot got out of the car, and came to the rear compartment with a solemn face to look at Wei Yuan.
"There's a situation where our backup oil line is broken." There is no way to refuel without tubing.
"Grass, what a fucking house leak happened to rain overnight." Who scolded again.
Wei Yuan was still the only one who was calm, "Don't panic yet, let Zhao Ying open the map and take a look first." β
Zhao Ying in the back row of the cab took out his backpack, and an old map was rolled out, Jiang Shan looked at them, what do you mean, is this lost or what?
Isn't it enough to turn on the GPS of your phone? Now that the global communication satellite is located, Jiang Shan suddenly realized that from the beginning to the present, she doesn't seem to have seen these people use mobile phones.
Jiang Shan saw that the map that Zhao Ying had opened, the edges were worn out, and it didn't seem to be ordinary paper, it was very much like the kind of parchment that was often shown on TV.
Zhao Ying said: "There is a gas station 500 meters ahead. β
This sentence seemed to ignite a glimmer of hope among the others, "Anyway, let's go over and have a look." β
Jiang Shan saw that the oil pipe they threw away was said to be broken, and it was densely covered with black substance, as if it was rusty, but the plastic pipe could also be rusty?
Before Jiang Shan could come to his senses, the car had continued to stagger forward, and the speed was much slower than before, and finally moved five hundred meters a little.
Jiang Shan saw an abandoned gas station on the side of the road.
