Others in the car also felt something was wrong.
But the road up the mountain is right there, with several moss-covered steps leaking out from between the grass. It really doesn't look like it can be driven by a car, it can only be walked.
Tang Nuo, who was driving, nodded and was about to step on the accelerator when a hand reached out of the window that had not yet been raised and blocked the car door.
"Hey, wait." The middle-aged man moved his head a little closer, and a stream of wet vapor came from the car window, "Taotao, please come down and chat with me first. Your parents asked me to take care of you in a dream a while ago. you."
The late parents' dreams may sound normal and heart-warming in a normal context, but in the present moment, it makes people think too much.
"Wen Tao" in the back row paused and turned her hand to the door handle on the side.
She got out of the car, and then Xia Chengyin, the co-pilot, also got out of the car, put his hands in his pockets, and followed "Wen Tao".
When the middle-aged man saw him calling someone to come down, his eyes wandered between "Wen Tao" and Xia Chengyin for a few moments, and then he suddenly realized: "That's right, Taotao, you are old too."
Before the two of them could explain anything, the smile on the man's face became deeper, and the corners of his eyes were wrinkled, like wrinkled chrysanthemums.
"Wen Tao" wanted to say something, but her arm was pulled by Xia Chengyin. The former had to shut her mouth, said hello to her uncle, and introduced the people around her.
They still used their original names in case they couldn't react.
"Well, he is Xia Chengyin, he is mine...my..."
"I see."
Qi Zhuyue: No, you don’t understand.
She could tell at a glance what the middle-aged man had misunderstood and thought. Qi Zhuyue felt a chill. The smile on the man's face even made her feel a little disgusted. However, due to the character, she had to raise a smile and change the subject. Fork.
While the greetings were continuing, the short-haired policeman made a gesture with his hands behind his back. Tang Nuo, who was driving, received the gesture clearly and continued to drive forward.
The destination is a specially built parking lot not far away. You can reach it after turning a small corner.
The parking lot was unexpectedly empty. It was very large and there were only a few cars parked there. They randomly found an empty space with no cars on either side and parked their cars.
After that, everyone got out of the car. Bai Su stood still and looked up at the rain roof above his head. There were several holes the size of fingernails on it. It looked like it was in disrepair.
The sunlight is blocked by dense leaves, and the lush canopy even grows above the roof. Only wisps of light that slip through the net can successfully break through the layers of obstruction and fall on the roof of the car.
Of course, it would be different if it rained.
Bai Su wanted to ask if he wanted to change positions, but he looked around and found that there were fewer holes in the place where they stopped.
OK, it's just in disrepair.
The minor on the other side ran away with his schoolbag as soon as he got off the car, and went to look around at several other cars in the parking lot.
Not long after, two adults who had finished admiring the awning, locked the car, and lifted the luggage from the trunk also stood over.
The car is a good car.
It is not as old and outdated as expected, but has accumulated a little dust. After a cursory inspection of the exterior and interior furnishings, it feels like an ordinary vehicle parked here.
The only one that was seriously damaged was sitting alone in the corner of the parking lot. The windows had long been shattered, and glass shards shot out, covering the seats and sinking deeply into the car over the years. Among tough growing grasses.
The soil blown by the rain, the grass seeds falling in the wind, and the occasional sunlight leaking through the cracks all indicate that the vitality of weeds is strong. It is not easy for this car to persist until now.
Bai Su bypassed the two humans and came to the back of the car. The trunk lid of this unknown brand of SUV was raised, and there was a lot of space inside, where a lot of things could be placed.
However, since it was an abandoned vehicle, the trunk was empty. Instead, it was filled with grass, flowers, and insects, forming a small ecological space.
Bai Su made way to the right, avoiding an unknown insect flying outwards.
He avoided it for a moment, and due to the change in angle, he caught a reflection.
Reflective? The black-haired young man held up the wall of the carriage... Well, the wall was a bit brittle due to the age. He had no choice but to press his hand into the carriage that smelled of green grass after the rain. He stretched out his hand forward and picked up something from the grass.
what is that?
It's round, with a black outer ring that's so brittle that it breaks when pinched, and a transparent middle... What?
Baisu rubbed the smooth surface, wiping off the cobwebs and dirt, then raised it above his head and saw the distorted external scenery.
After thinking for a moment, he put the piece of glass into the pocket of his coat and walked back to the human.
"Did you find anything?" Bai Su looked at the minor who took out a magnifying glass from his bag and looked at the car, but chose to ask the adult wearing glasses.
"No big discovery. The model of the car should be... It was launched quite early. It was more than ten years ago. Judging from the degree of damage, how long it had been abandoned... This, this and this gave different feedback."
Tang Nuo first showed the make and model of the vehicle obtained through requesting foreign aid. Now they can still connect to the Internet smoothly. The signal in the mountains is surprisingly good.
As for the three places pointed out by humans, Bai Su couldn't see why. According to Tang Nuo, they showed three different points in time.
Bai Su tilted his head: "So?"
Tang Nuo pushed up his glasses: "So it has no reference value, as long as you know that the car was abandoned."
The rest of the items on the car are some national maps that would have existed more than ten years ago, and have nothing special about them.
"You should have taken away all the things you need, right?" The young man muttered, putting away the magnifying glass, "By the way, should we go there?"
The two adults and one child had been observing and staying in the parking lot for a long time. It would have been a bit long to just park the car.
In addition, Qi Zhuyue, who was chatting with a middle-aged man over there, could hardly continue the conversation.
Her face almost froze with laughter, and she barely maintained the smile on her face. She put her hands behind her back and typed a string of words blindly under the gaze of a certain girl before sending it out.
——Child, save, save!
It is true that she has Wen Tao's memories, but the problem is that Wen Tao has not returned to the village for more than ten years. In her impression, Wen Tao has not often chatted with relatives in her hometown. Is this uncle of hers a familiar person? ?
It's so scary. Is this the world of e-people? I'm so scared.
Moreover, Senior Xia is of no use at all and will only stand on the sidelines and apologize!
Qi Zhuyue, who always felt that the two had perfected their roles, continued to deal with the questions from Wen Tao's uncle Wen Jianyuan. When asked when she was going to get married, her mind went blank, and then she heard an unsuppressed laugh from behind.
Qi Zhuyue:! ! !
She has been working diligently since she was born solo, and has never even touched the hands of a man of that nature. Why is she about to get married?
Before Qi Zhuyue gave up the treatment and casually mentioned a date or secretly took a grudge against a certain senior, the three people who went to park the car arrived late.
The first person was a young boy who was jumping around with a schoolbag on his back. The sunshine made his face youthful and full of vitality.
The two young men who were lagging behind each carried a bag and carried another bag. Judging from the style and color of the bag, they belonged to the two who got off the bus early.
Wen Jianyuan squinted and scanned the people coming one by one: "Is there another child?"
"Wen Tao" laughed twice: "Yes...yes, this is..." She quickly went through the interpersonal relationships in her mind and began to adapt.
"This is Tang Nuo, a friend of Senior Xia. This kid's name is Gao Tianyi, and he is Tang Nuo's younger brother."
Xia Chengyin came to "Wen Tao" and directly became her colleague at her workplace. In fact, Xia Chengyin was indeed Qi Zhuyue's colleague, while Tang Nuo and Gao Tianyi were directly linked as brothers.
Tang Nuo pushed up his glasses silently and did not respond.
Wen Jianyuan: "Tang, Gao? What are these two people's last names?"
"Wen Tao": "It's time to start a family again, with half-mother and half-father."
The middle-aged man accepted this statement and said, "Good kid, good kid", and his eyes fell on the last person.
Bai Su, who was being watched, waved the camera in his hand. He didn't know when he took it in his hand. Before "Wen Tao" could speak, he introduced himself: "Bai Su, Wen Tao's good friend, here to collect photos." .”
The black-haired young man's eyebrows are slightly curved, and there is a smile at the corner of his mouth. He looks much more handsome than the short-haired young man who looks carefree with his hands in his pockets.
Middle-aged men don't prefer handsome men to younger men. The main reason is that the black-haired young man looks a bit weak and not very capable of fighting. But if you talk about the one with a short head... he is too angry.
Wen Jianyuan thought about it, pulled his niece aside, and asked in a low voice: "My dear daughter, which one do you like?"
Qi Zhuyue:?
Qi Zhuyue: ...No one told her that this uncle is a love brain?
For a moment, the tense atmosphere was diluted a bit. "Wen Tao" sniffed the thicker vapor around her and twitched the corner of her mouth.
She didn't answer, and lowered her head nervously.
"Wen Tao"'s behavior was naturally interpreted as shyness, and the middle-aged man patted her shoulder politely: "You can choose any one. Your parents said in a dream that as long as you are happy, a wedding is the best." It can be done in the village... Ah, you young people have no problem if you want to live in the city, but you must remember to come back more often."
"Wen Tao" felt a chill down her spine after hearing this, and her subsequent attempts to go back and have a look were simply ignored.
"Wen Tao" responded vaguely, and walked back to his companion on the pretext of going to get his bag.
Once away from the middle-aged man, the moist feeling of water vapor gradually fades away.
The person carrying the "Wen Tao" backpack was Bai Su. The elegant lavender bag was grasped by the shoulder strap. Seeing someone coming, Bai Su handed it forward.
Due to the distance, most people facing forward can see the kind smile on the face of the middle-aged man, which is slightly kind, and there is a sense of coolness in the kindness.
"Wen Tao" reached out to take her bag, moved her lips a few times, and muttered a few words without making a sound.
After a brief exchange, she walked back to the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man nodded and began to lead them up the mountain.
It was noon and the sun was fierce. At the man's suggestion, "Wen Tao" held up the parasol in her bag.
As for the four men who were lagging behind, except for the minor who took advantage of his short height to hide in the shadow cast by adults, the other three did not move.
It is quite dangerous to walk on a mountain road and play with mobile phones. The middle-aged man gave up after a few words of advice. He only looked back from time to time in case someone really slipped and fell down the mountain.
This mountain road cannot be said to be smooth, it can only be said to be very uneven.
Moreover, it seemed that it had rained before, and the moss on the stone road was soft and sticky when stepped on, and made a soft squeaking sound.
[Xia Cuntou]: Is there rain in the weather forecast here?
[It’s difficult to lead the team]: Damn, who changed my notes?
[Just a collector]:?
[Please show some love to the minors]: Aren’t you and Brother Tang the administrators?
[The team is difficult to lead]: Tang Nuo!
[The eyes are not the body]: There is no rain in the weather forecast, but local rain cannot be ruled out, and there are other possibilities.
[The eyes are not the body]: By the way, be careful where you step, the steps in front are a bit loose.
[The eyes are not the body]: Don’t you think the group business card I just changed for you is very suitable?
[The team is difficult to lead]: You four eyes! ! !
Wow, is this human friendship?
Bai Su watched the humans quarreling in the group, his cell phone clicking loudly as he thought, but his face remained calm.
After crossing the steps that were said to be loose, the last person who stepped on them had just released his foot, and the stone slab slid sideways, and he fell down the mountain with several thuds.
"Be careful." The middle-aged man walking at the front suddenly turned his head and said with a heavy gaze, "Although there are not many people, several villagers from the village will still lose their lives every year."
"Wen Tao" exclaimed: "Hey."
The middle-aged man turned his head and said, "I saw Taotao when she was a child, but you were too young at that time, so you may not remember."
"Wen Tao" opened her mouth: "Ah...is that so?"
She looked through the memories of the script she had received, but could not find any similar memory fragments. Maybe it really happened when she was a child, and then was forgotten.
The middle-aged man nodded in agreement, saying that it was normal for people to forget things at a young age, and he didn't remember much about people and things when he was a child.
Walking further up, the middle-aged man babbled about how difficult it was to dispose of the body that had been killed by a fall. It didn't look very good either. It was sticky and bloody, and it took a long time to clean it up.
"It's very difficult to shovel. The body tissues are all mixed with mud and soil... It's hard to separate them, so they just shovel them up and pile them up, and they still can't dig them out completely... Do you think it's too boring to bury them like this?"
The listener does not know whether to bury or not.
However, can the height of the steps leading to the village really knock someone down to the level that a middle-aged man said?
Bai Su looked down along the mountain wall. It was only a few meters high. If the angle was right, he should be able to break his neck directly and reach the level of "mud"...height or number of times.
The black-haired young man looked down from a high place, his whole body leaning out a little, which made people panic.
If you lean a little further, it seems like you will fall.
This thought flashed through the eyes of "Wen Tao" who turned her head to look back, and she quickly shouted: "Baisu!"
The black-haired young man swayed when he heard the shouts and leaned outward. When the human heart was in his throat, he took it back.
The black misty eyes looked over kindly, and the owner of the eyes smiled sheepishly: "Sorry, I'm a little fascinated by the scenery below."
