"What's wrong with that car? I've been on this car many times. The driver doesn't recognize me, but I remember him. What's the problem?"
Although a lot of weird things happened today, there were so many people in this car and the driver was still the same, so Jiang Yue naturally didn't think there was anything wrong.
"There's no problem with the car, there's no problem with the people, but..."
Sangou was about to say it but stopped, as if he was thinking about how to word it so as not to make the second brother angry, and at the same time, he could still talk about the second brother's letter.
"But what?" Jiang Yue couldn't help but ask.
"Second brother, you believe me about the soup, right?" Sangou didn't answer, but asked.
Jiang Yue stared at Sangou, thought for a while, said nothing, and finally nodded.
"Then second brother, do you believe everything I say?" Sangou asked again.
"Letter." Jiang Yue touched Sangou's head.
"Second brother, there's nothing wrong with the car, and there's nothing wrong with the people! But...but there are a lot of scary things on the roof of the car, haven't you seen it?"
Something coiled on the roof of the car?
Jiang Yue recalled the car coming from far away, then stopping and driving away.
The whole scene was replayed in his mind several times. In his memory, the car was a normal bus, the engine sound was normal, the wheel marks were normal, and even the sound of the tires rubbing against the ground during braking was not abnormal, and the roof was also missing. to anything.
"Second brother, have you really not seen me?" Sangou's voice was a little trembling.
"What did you see? Don't be afraid, tell me carefully."
"Those things don't look like humans or ghosts. They seem to be transparent and change their shapes. They are more flexible than monkeys. Some are coiled on the roof of the car, some are hung on the rearview mirror, some are attached to the glass, and some are even more flexible than monkeys. Some people were lying on the tires. I was wondering, could the people in the car not see such a big movement?"
The empty mountain road, the desolate countryside, the bleak sky, the gloomy drizzle, and the black mountains on all sides made the world a bit desolate and terrifying.
In addition, what Sangou said was such a weird thing...
Deep in the mountains and wilderness, completely deserted...
The whistling mountain wind was blowing wildly, and the clouds in the mountains were surging and changing, as if countless invisible terrors were pressing in from all directions.
"Second brother..."
"Sangou, stop talking and come with me." Jiang Yue screamed in his heart. This is getting weird. Is it not over yet?
There was no way to go back to Panshiling. Jiang Yue made a very courageous decision and went to the town.
It takes two hours to get to the town on a thirty-mile mountain road. Fortunately, it is still early in the morning.
When Sangou heard that he was going to the town, he was afraid that the sheep would fall into the tiger's mouth. When he went to the town, his sister-in-law wouldn't let him wander around, which was a bit contradictory. However, Jiang Yue persisted.
I missed the shuttle bus and had to walk more than a hundred miles to the city. It was even more unrealistic to walk back to Star City. Going to town, maybe renting a car back to town, it's just a matter of extra money.
The mountain road was muddy and slippery, making walking more difficult than usual.
Along the way, Sangou kept complaining: "Second brother, why do you always make me drink water? I can't walk fast if I drink too much."
"Drink, drink more! Didn't you see that my second brother is also drinking? The more water you drink, the more you pee."
"Why do you need so much urine?" The three dogs are still annoyed when they always take out a sparrow to pee.
"Hehe, listen to the second brother, that's right." Jiang Yue prayed in his heart. People say that children urinate to ward off evil spirits. I hope this pee will have an effect.
Maybe the boy's urine had some effect. A few minutes after 5:30, the two of them came to the town with mud on their heads and faces. They really didn't encounter any big problems along the way.
My sister-in-law almost didn't recognize them.
"You two little brats, what are you doing? Are you pretending to be a ghost on Qingming Festival to scare old lady?"
My sister-in-law was born with a sharp tongue and a good heart. When she saw her mother's two nephews in such embarrassment, she naturally felt very distressed.
The two of them scrubbed each other and finally recovered to about eighty percent of their appearance. Hearing Jiang Yue say that he wanted to charter a car back to the city, my sister-in-law's face changed again and again on the spot.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Yue's specialty was observing words and expressions, and it was obvious that something was wrong with his sister-in-law's expression.
"Yue, you don't know, the people in the town are going crazy. How can I still think of chartering a car for you? Besides..."
"What happened in town?"
"Didn't you hear that you came all the way just now? A few miles past the west side of Dajin Mountain, a large mountain top collapsed, and the shuttle bus from the town to Star City was buried. There were dozens of people on the bus! Either they were people from the town, or they wanted to He's not related to the town. At the worst, he's an acquaintance. Who would have the guts to get out of the car at this time? Besides, the road has been washed out, making it difficult to pass."
"Oh, when I heard this just now, my heart kept pounding. I am afraid that you two little beasts will go to the city and get on that train... How can I live?"
As the sister-in-law talked, she held one in each hand and burst into tears.
Jiang Yue and San Gou looked at each other with horror in their eyes. Does this mean...the two brothers escaped by not getting on the bus?
The sister-in-law's crying completely cut off the brothers' hope of returning to the city tonight.
Once a woman's motherhood overflows, she must go through a process of resolving it.
The solution can be to have a meal, chat once, and listen to her nagging for a while.
Because of the unexpected arrival of my eldest nephew, my sister-in-law made this dinner especially sumptuous.
My sister-in-law's family is considered to be in good condition in the town.
The man you marry is also hard-working and down-to-earth, doesn't talk much, but is loyal and kind. I never said a word against Sangou, my nephew who was fostered by my wife’s family.
"Lee, eat more. This is my sister-in-law's best black pepper beef ribs."
"Try this, braised pork elbow, and see if my sister-in-law's skills have improved?"
"And these prawns, spicy, your favorite when you were a kid."
At the dinner table, my sister-in-law was sitting on the right side of Jiang Yue, and kept serving dishes to Jiang Yue, forcing them into Jiang Yue's bowl with force that could not be refused.
My sister-in-law's sharp eyes showed that if she didn't eat it, big trouble would happen. Jiang Yue had no choice but to bite the bullet and do it.
Fortunately, he was young and in good health, so he didn't resist eating meaty and hard food.
This made the three dogs on the side a little bit agitated.
We are both nephews from my mother's family, so are my three dogs no longer my sister-in-law's favorite little beasts?
The uncle at the table saw that the three dogs were missing. He smiled and gave the three dogs a piece of cowboy bone and a piece of pig's trotters: "Come on, let us three dogs eat stronger."
Sangou almost cried. Why didn't he find his uncle so amiable and cute before?
Fortunately, my sister-in-law's kid is still young and doesn't know how to fight for favor, otherwise there would have been a fight for favor at the dinner table.
The topic during the dinner was inevitably about the shuttle bus, and the atmosphere suddenly became extremely depressing. For some time to come, the town will probably be gloomy and miserable.
Sangou was surprisingly calm. He didn't have the usual boasting mentality of children of this age. He actually didn't mention anything about the shuttle bus, including the weird experience of the whole day.
Jiang Yue would not add any trouble at this juncture. Some things were destined not to be revealed and could only rot in his stomach.
Once it spreads, it will be spread to ten or hundreds, and there is no telling what it will become.
If it causes social panic and has a negative impact, the consequences will be disastrous.
Fortunately, this depressing topic did not continue forever. My sister-in-law changed the topic and asked about the sacrificial sweep.
"Yue, no matter how successful you two are in the future or where you go, please remember that Panshiling is your root. Don't be like you, ugh..."
Speaking of her natal brothers, my sister-in-law sighed again.
My natal family has three brothers. The eldest brother died unexpectedly in his twenties before he even got married.
The second brother, Jiang Yue's father, suddenly left a letter two years ago and also disappeared.
The third brother is the father of the third dog. He is not missing and is in good health. The couple worked in a developed city. They didn't make much money all year round, and they didn't take care of their family. Their only child, Sangou, became a left-behind child.
Sometimes my sister-in-law couldn't help but wonder, is there something wrong with Lao Jiang's ancestral grave? Why is the situation of this family getting worse every year?
"Sister-in-law, what on earth is a worker? Why are my parents always out there beating it? After all these years of fighting, have you still not made a name for yourself?"
After being nagged by his sister-in-law, Sangou missed his parents a little bit. He grabbed an elbow in his hand and asked blankly with a few grains of rice stuck to the corners of his greasy mouth.
"You don't care what it is! Anyway, you will be more successful in the future! Don't be like your father who keeps busy all day long, and the baby can't even take care of it."
My uncle was busy trying to smooth things over: "Hey, why are you always whispering to me about this?"
After dinner and washing up, Jiang Yue received another anxious call from his sister Jiang Ying. Apparently she had also just caught the news. Jiang Ying was relieved when he learned that his brother was not on the bus.
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Ying opened the news and browsed it briefly.
Regarding the shuttle bus news, all major media have reported it, but it is just a short news item.
The shorter the news, the bigger the story.
The comment area is not closed, but most of the messages are concerns, worries, and prayers.
Although there were a few perverts who gloated about the misfortune, used natural disasters to make a fuss, and made insinuations, they were quickly inundated with accusations in the comment section.
