It was actually quite uncomfortable for the car to break down at this time, because the place we were in could be said to have entered a mountainous area.
The nearest village is more than thirty kilometers away from where we are now.
Li Dabao got out of the car to check the situation, and finally said with a mournful face: "What the hell, what should we do now? Where is the spare tire on this car?"
Brother Zhao replied somewhat depressedly: "Brother Bao, this car doesn't have a spare tire. Although we prepared one in advance, didn't you ask us to remove it? Why did you say it was delaying you from pulling other things? I don't like it because it takes up too much space."
"Um?"
"Did I say that?"
Li Dabao scratched his head and seemed to have forgotten what he said.
And I just wanted to go up and blow his mind. This Li Dabao was too unreliable.
What should we do now?
There are only two options before us.
First: Wait where you are, wait until daybreak, and then find a way to find rescue.
Second: Now send someone to a nearby village to find a way to get a spare tire.
Third: Take it all back and find a new car to start over again.
Of these three-day options, it seems that only the second day is suitable.
But who will go?
Finally, Li Dabao looked at Brother Zhao.
When Li Dabao looked shamelessly in the direction of Brother Zhao, the latter asked with some confusion: "Brother Bao, why are you looking at me like that?"
"Well, brother, you see, we all act according to the rules. Now there is a situation and we need someone to go out and find someone to rescue us. We are not familiar with this place at all, so it is not appropriate for anyone to go."
"so……?"
"You got it!"
While talking, Li Dabao took out a few hundred dollars from his body and stuffed it into Brother Zhao's hand.
Brother Zhao looked at the pitch-black road behind him and hesitated.
"Brother Bao, this mountain road...this..."
Li Dabao patted Brother Zhao on the shoulder very easily and said: "Hey, it's okay, you are still a local, how can you be afraid of the dark, right?"
"How about I give you this amulet?"
When Li Dabao took out a Guanyin pendant from his pocket, I knew that this thing was going to start deceiving people again.
"I got this from Panjiayuan at a high price. It's worth tens of thousands. It's an authentic Guanyin Master from the Song Dynasty. When I return to Beijing, I will definitely talk to our boss and see if I can bring you back to Beijing to work."
"Have you ever been to the capital city? It's so fierce and has everything. It's much more enjoyable than this remote place..."
After being fooled by Li Dabao, Brother Zhao nodded and said, "Okay, don't stay here anymore. There is no village or shop here, and it's not very safe at night."
"You go ahead and go up the mountain. There is an abandoned ancient temple halfway up the mountain. You can spend the night there. I will make plans after I bring people over tomorrow!"
Li Dabao nodded repeatedly to express his gratitude to Brother Zhao, and said that when we come back from our work, we will definitely pay him more.
Watching Brother Zhao's figure gradually disappear into the dark night, we looked at each other.
Leng Yue even kicked Li Dabao directly and got into the car.
I felt quite happy watching Li Dabao deflate.
"This guy is so innocent and you still use fake goods to deceive him. Do you think you are still a human being?"
"Also, when you ask someone to go down the mountain, you don't even give them a flashlight, so you just let them go in the dark?"
Li Dabao glared at me when he heard this.
"Hey, you Chen Jiuri, you said it nicely, didn't I remember it? Why didn't you say it when you did?"
I rolled my eyes at Li Dabao and said, "I just want to see how unreliable you are."
After saying that, I returned to the car, took out the flashlight from my backpack, and chased in the direction where Brother Zhao left just now.
"Hey, did you know the way and just follow it?"
I didn't even turn around, I just waved with my other hand and said, "Don't worry, how far can he go? This mountain road is rugged."
After I left, Li Dabao didn't follow me.
But I'm not worried, because this is just the outermost part of the mountain road, and there's only one way in and out, so there's no need to worry about getting lost.
I walked forward along the mountain, originally thinking that I could catch up with him in a few minutes and then return.
But who would have thought that I almost had to jog, and I didn’t see Brother Zhao for almost ten minutes.
It was already quite dark by this time, and the moon overhead was nowhere to be seen.
The bushes on both sides of the road would tremble from time to time due to the wind, and the sounds of unknown birds were heard all around, making it hard not to think about them.
The ambitions and ambitions shared with Li Dabao just now were almost completely exhausted at this moment.
Is this little brother Zhao running so fast?
I was puzzled and prepared to continue chasing for a while. If I still didn't see it, I would go back the same way.
Although there is only one main road in and out, there are small roads in other places that can only be passed by pedestrians, but not by cars.
In this way, I continued walking forward with an uneasy feeling for about ten minutes, but I still didn't find Brother Zhao.
At this time, I began to wonder if I was running too fast and surpassed Brother Zhao?
But this isn’t right either?
The entire road is not wide, and there are mountain ravines on one side. The cliffs are a bit exaggerated, but the height is not low.
The other side is the rocks of the mountain, unless Brother Zhao walks on top of my head.
What's more, on this dark road, the light of my two flashlights can be seen as long as you are not blind.
Thinking of this, I chose to turn back without any further hesitation.
As he walked back, he shouted Brother Zhao's name.
None of us knew his name. Everyone called her brother, so I always called him brother.
"Bro……"
My voice echoed around me, causing some birds in the forest to fly up.
I walked back for about five or six minutes, maybe my shouting had an effect, and I heard some slight sounds in my ears.
The voice seemed to be asking for help, or it seemed to be whispering something. Because of the distance, it was not very clear.
But what is certain is definitely not on the road, but...
I looked to the edge of the road and moved closer to the source of the sound.
When I shined the flashlight downward, Brother Zhao's voice rang out.
"Is it Brother Xu?"
"I accidentally stepped on the air and fell..."
Although I heard the sound, I still didn't see Brother Zhao anywhere.
I tried my best to shine the flashlight down and shouted: "Brother, where are you? Why can't I see you?"
At this time, a dead branch swayed seven or eight meters below me.
"Brother Xu, I'm here. There is a cave here. My ankle is sprained and I can't move vigorously for the time being. Do you see me?"
I followed the sound and looked under my feet, while trying to keep myself from falling.
Looking down from here, it is a slightly inclined plane.
There are many thick shrubs in the rock formations below blocking the view. I can see Brother Zhao's hands, but I can't see the specific figure.
I changed places again, and then I saw Brother Zhao. Just as he said, he was in a cave at this time.
Half of his body was leaned out. When I shined the flashlight, Brother Zhao turned his head but avoided looking directly at the light.
Seeing that the other party was okay, I felt relieved.
"Brother, as long as you're okay, just wait a moment. I'll go to the car to get a rope and pull you up. Just hold on."
As I said that, I wanted to walk back, but I was stopped by Brother Zhao.
He said: "Brother Xu, don't leave yet. I'm a little scared. This, this... there is something in this cave."
After hearing what Brother Zhao said, I stopped and asked him what was in the cave.
Brother Zhao said: "Yes, there are... there are dead people...!"
dead?
Because I have already had some experience, I am not particularly afraid of dead people.
But Brother Zhao is just an ordinary person. It is understandable that ordinary people would be afraid when seeing dead people.
I said to Brother Zhao, "Well, come out, I'll throw the flashlight over to you, be careful to catch it."
After getting Brother Zhao's consent, I gestured at the angle and said "catch it."
Then he threw it in his direction.
The flashlight drew a parabola in the air, and finally hit the little brother's hand, almost falling.
But fortunately, the little brother still grabbed the flashlight in the end.
With the illumination of the flashlight, the little brother's voice didn't feel so scary.
Then I ran back.
When I came back with the rope, Li Dabao, and Lengyue, something unexpected happened.
Brother Zhao is missing...!
