Chapter 49 Mountain Road
Chapter 49 Mountain Road
"Squeak——"
The sound of braking was accompanied by strong inertia, causing Bai Yanliang's body to stumble suddenly.
Although he hadn't opened his eyes yet, he realized that he should be on some kind of vehicle.
"Damn it, it broke down."
Swearing with a strong local accent came from the front.
At this time, Bai Yanliang finally gained control of his body and opened his eyes.
Li Mu, Lin Yan, Yu Hanzhou, Huang Yourong, Su Qian, Yu Sheng, and him were all sitting on this long-distance bus.
Besides them, there were other passengers.
"Get off the bus, get off the bus! Everybody get off the bus!"
The stocky driver yelled from under the car.
"The car broke down, get out quickly!"
"What? Where are we going in these barren mountains? The sun is almost setting." A fashionably dressed young woman hugged a corgi and stared at the driver dissatisfied.
"What can I do? If you can make it touch me, I'll leave immediately!"
The people in the car watched the two arguing with different expressions.
This car... seems to be filled with people who are rushing back to their hometowns.
"Go down, it's not easy for everyone..." an old man advised.
Li Mu and others exchanged glances and got out of the car.
With the help of Su Qian, everything went smoothly for Yu Sheng.
This long-distance bus was traveling on an old mountain road. It was evening, and the gloomy sunlight shrouded the surrounding trees, and the shadows cast on the ground looked strange.
And the surrounding area was eerily quiet, as if there were no living things.
After a while, everyone came down.
The driver counted the number of people and said: "It's getting dark. We can't spend the night in the mountains. Let's go forward. I remember there seems to be a village nearby."
"What? You want me to sleep in the countryside?" the young woman screamed, hugging her dog.
"If you're willing, just sleep in the fucking bus. Ask who's going to accompany you!" The pudgy driver was annoyed by the young woman and yelled, "You're so particular about taking your fucking bus instead of flying." ! ”
The woman's face turned red and white, and she hugged her dog tremblingly, not daring to say anything back.
In this deep mountain and old forest, the car broke down on the mountain road, and there was no mobile phone signal. If the fat driver really did something to her, she would be the one who suffered.
The more she thought about it, the more unsafe the woman felt. The trees, mountains, nameless insects, the dim sky, and the shadows of claws and claws all seemed unusual.
"Then... little master, when can this car leave?" asked the old man who just spoke.
"I don't know. Anyway, I can't fix it by myself, so I said I'd go to the village first and find a fucking cell phone signal, right?" the pudgy driver said while glaring at the woman.
"If you don't want to, then go back to the car and have a rest. I won't care if anything happens. Let's vote by a show of hands now. Those who are willing to go to the village with me will raise their hands!"
The driver had already said this. Everyone looked around and then raised their hands in agreement.
Moreover, in this deep mountain and old forest, there are towering ancient trees that cover the sky and obscure the sun. The woods looked eerie and mysterious.
It's still daybreak. If it gets dark, God knows what scary things will happen. Who dares to spend the night in the car?
As for Bai Yanliang and the other six, they have no other options at all. If they don't go to the village, Wuji will definitely think of them as passive.
What will happen then, I really don’t know at all.
The young woman holding the dog stopped talking and agreed honestly.
Including Bai Yanliang and seven others, there were a total of thirteen people on this trip.
The short and fat driver identified the direction and asked everyone to head into the dense forest.
"I have heard about that village from the brothers who run this route. It is near here. I really don't know the specific location. Please help me find it with your eyes bright."
The driver's words made people feel a little uneasy. What if...he still couldn't find the village after dark?
The group of people got into the woods. It was dark inside. The straight and tall trees blocked most of the sunlight. Only the scattered and sparse light shone through the branches and leaves of the trees. The rotten, damp leaves and dead branches made the ground unsafe to step on, and the women let out one or two exclamations from time to time.
It is even more difficult for Yu Sheng's wheelchair to move in this situation.
"Hey, is she your friend?" the pudgy driver stopped and said with a frown.
"What's wrong?" Li Mu looked at him and returned calmly.
"She's too slow. How can this be done? If you carry her on your back, leave the wheelchair here and come back to get it when you leave."
The pudgy driver's tone always had a strange commanding tone, which made people uncomfortable.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Yu Sheng, wondering what they were thinking.
At this time, if you agree to this matter, it means that you will have to take care of her all the time during this mission.
If it were in the real world, men wouldn't mind showing off their grace. After all, although she has disabled legs and feet, she has an outstanding appearance and a gentle temperament.
But...this is Wuji.
Just thinking about how troublesome it is to carry such a big, inconvenient tow tank gives me a headache.
Li Mu looked at Yu Sheng without hesitation, but he did not make any unnecessary moves.
Yu Hanzhou hesitated a little. Just as he moved forward, he was suddenly gently pulled by a hand from behind.
He turned around slightly and saw Su Qian shaking her head slightly.
Huang Yourong didn't even look at Yu Sheng. He was frowning as if he was thinking about something.
Yu Sheng glanced at everyone and said nothing.
She lowered her head and sat quietly in the wheelchair.
The dim sunset light shone on her body through the gaps in the leaves, making her look particularly beautiful, but she also looked like... a useless thing abandoned in the forest.
"Are you willing if I carry you?"
At this time, a still unfamiliar voice suddenly appeared behind her.
Yu Sheng turned around and realized that it was Bai Yanliang who had been walking at the end.
She looked at him, and the man looked at her expressionlessly, without even a polite smile.
But...she was a little absent-minded. After a moment, she nodded and said softly: "Please."
Seeing Bai Yanliang squatting down and carrying Yu Sheng on his back without any pressure, Li Mu and others looked thoughtful and thoughtful.
Although there are strange things, he is still a young boy who has not lost his innocence.
Bai Yanliang didn't know what everyone thought of him. He carried Yu Sheng on his back and walked at the end of the crowd. Yu Sheng tilted her head slightly and looked at his side face, not knowing what she was thinking.
"I have a question."
Bai Yanliang suddenly whispered.
At this volume, Yu Sheng quickly realized that he was speaking to himself alone.
"What's wrong?"
Bai Yanliang slowed down slightly and asked: "I want to know...what is hidden in the sleeve of your right hand?"
After these words, Bai Yanliang clearly felt Yu Sheng's body stiffen, and then there was a long silence.
"Forget it, it's just a curiosity." Bai Yanliang did not force it, and quickly changed the topic and followed everyone's footsteps.
"Hey! Is that the village you mentioned?"
The middle-aged man's voice sounded in surprise.
Everyone looked along his fingers and saw a group of low buildings on the mountainside opposite, blurred by the dusk mist. Among the faintly intertwined mountains and forests, there seemed to be shadowy figures walking in the mist. ...This pale mist looks quite unsettling, like a layer of... dead skin.
