When I caught up with the Hummer, I was already soaked to the skin, and the dry mouth was the most unbearable thing.
Fortunately, the sun has completely set. Otherwise, he would have died here if he was roasted by the sun.
Wu Tinghan parked the car at a fork in the road. It looked like he didn't know which way to drive, so he stopped here to wait for me. In fact, I knew that just drive along the road parallel to the highway. , what she did was just taking advantage of the situation.
She was sitting in the passenger seat as before, taking a nap with her eyes closed. He gave up his seat in the driver's seat early, as if what happened before had never happened at all.
I didn't expose it, so I got into the driver's seat. After drinking water and resting briefly, I started the car and drove forward.
After a while, she said something, saying, you don't need to deliberately liven up the atmosphere. After so many years, you won't make me complain just because of your sigh.
I chuckled bitterly and said nothing.
I thought I had a brilliant plan to make a fortune using my craftsmanship. Saying it made Wu Tinghan feel better, but he didn't expect that in the end...heh, did she still see through it?
No wonder they say that women who are too smart will lose a lot of happiness. This is indeed true!
As the sky gradually darkened, the road behind and the highway were getting farther and farther away. Just when I was feeling worried, Wu Tinghan took out his phone and opened the navigation, pointing out the next way for me.
I’m bored while driving, and it’s easy to think about random things. What puzzles me the most is that I feel like I’ve only been trapped in the painting for two or three hours at most. Why is it that by the time we come out of the painting, the sun is almost setting? Already?
After Wu Tinghan listened to my question, he returned to his previous aloof appearance. He leaned back in his chair with his hands folded across his chest and replied in a concise and concise manner, "The painting is still."
I really want to say something. Is this considered an answer? Are you overestimating my IQ, or are you underestimating the difficulty of understanding your sentence?
Besides, if the time in the painting really stands still, then there should be no passage of time, but the fact we have now is that time passes faster than outside!
Wu Tinghan snorted and said, when did I say that time in the painting stood still? If time in the painting stands still, can I become immortal as long as I hide in the painting?
Um...it seems to be true. But there is no immortal person in the world, so time cannot stand still.
I asked, then you said that the painting is still?
Wu Tinghan said angrily, "What I'm saying is that the world in the painting is still. Logically speaking, we should be still when we enter the painting. But we keep moving forward, which is equivalent to moving forward." Pushing a huge boulder will definitely take longer than outside. This is the ultimate purpose of the other party's use of opposite views to hang paintings.
Let me tell you, doesn’t the other party want to trap us inside?
Wu Tinghan said, if it were another craftsman, it might be useful for landscape paintings, but for me, a painter, do you think you can use my expertise against me?
Wu Tinghan said it in an extremely domineering manner. This kind of self-confidence is really not something that ordinary people can learn. Even if they are pretending, they cannot pretend.
After driving for a while following the navigation system, the car turned onto a country road, and I immediately recognized it as the road to our town. I'm so familiar with this road. I didn't know how many times I took the shuttle bus on it when I was in school. Now I can drive it back even with my eyes closed!
But I still pulled over and said to Wu Tinghan, how about you drive?
Wu Tinghan glanced at me, opened the door and got out of the car without saying anything.
To be honest, after having the experience of hanging on the golden hook while crossing the bridge, I drove the previous section of the road with trepidation, for fear of driving the car into the cliff. So I deliberately searched for something to talk to Wu Tinghan when I had nothing to say, just because I was afraid that I would fall into an illusion.
But the rest of the road is a winding mountain road. If you are not careful, you may plunge into the abyss and be doomed. It doesn't matter if I'm alone, the key is that there's Wu Tinghan in the car - I'm no match for her when I'm alive, why don't I want to be tortured to death by her when I'm dead?
After getting into the passenger seat, I kept my eyes wide open and looking at the road ahead, feeling highly nervous.
Fortunately, Wu Tinghan's driving skills were excellent, and he arrived in the town safely around ten o'clock in the evening.
My suggestion is to abandon the car and go on foot instead, and go to our village as soon as possible. After all, if you delay for one more minute, Mr. Wang's life will be in more danger.
But Wu Tinghan refused. Instead, he asked me if there was a hotel in the town. He said he wanted to rest for the night and wait until dawn before entering the village.
Let me tell you, there is a hotel, but Mr. Wang is in danger now.
She did not waver, but asked me, have you ever thought about why the other party deliberately delayed time when they knew they couldn't trap us?
Let me tell you, don't you just want us to go back to the village so that we can have enough time to attack my grandfather's grave and transfer our luck?
Wu Tinghan shook his head and said, your grandfather's tomb is so interconnected that no craftsman can guarantee that he can lower it without showing up. So your grandfather's grave is not their target for the time being, we are.
After saying that, Wu Tinghan glanced at the completely dark world outside the car window, and muttered to himself, "It's dark and windy at night, which is the best time to kill someone."
I was shocked when I heard this, and my heart couldn't help but tremble. I said, it shouldn't be murder, right?
Wu Tinghan snorted, "If Wang Minghua didn't help you along the way, how many times would you have died?"
Indeed, I cannot think that the other party does not dare to kill just because I am still alive. If Mr. Wang hadn't given me Moxian Soul Locker, I would have been scared to death. In Laosicheng, if it weren't for Wu Tinghan, I would have drowned myself long ago.
Let me tell you, what should we do now?
After asking, I regretted it because Wu Tinghan had already told me what to do.
So after I said sorry, I directed her towards the hotel.
Although our town is backward, there are three or four hotels. This is due to the national development of tourism in our autonomous prefecture, making hotel accommodation a demand. In addition, during the holidays, people who work in other places come back and those who cannot go home in time have to stay in the town overnight.
So I chose the nearest hotel and took Wu Tinghan to check in.
When checking out the room, Wu Tinghan specifically requested not to get a room at the end of the corridor. The receptionist looked up at her strange request. I knew that look. Mr. Wang and Wu Tinghan often looked at me like this.
The room was opened quickly. I was in 417 and she was in 418. After taking the room card, Wu Tinghan said he was going to get something from the car and asked me to go upstairs first.
After a tiring day, I took the elevator up to the fourth floor without being polite. The moment I stepped out of the elevator, I wondered if I had taken the wrong step. The lights in the corridor were very dim, and there was only an incandescent light bulb far away.
Really, saving electricity is not that easy!
And after arriving at the door of the room, I realized that 417 and 418 were not next to each other, but door to door.
I had never stayed in a hotel before, so I didn't know if the corridors and room numbers were all designed in this way, so I didn't care about it and was going to open the door and go in to rest.
But just when I opened the door and was about to go in, a man and a woman came out of the next room. They looked at me with a very strange look, and then hurriedly walked towards the elevator.
They were talking in dialect as they walked. Although they lowered their voices deliberately, I still heard one of the women say that they dared to leave that room. They were really bullying outsiders.
They thought I was an outsider and couldn't understand their dialect, but I was a serious local, so I called them in my dialect and asked, "What's wrong with this room?"
They obviously didn't expect that I was a local. After hearing my words, they obviously trembled, then turned around and waved their hands to me, saying, it's okay, it's okay, I'm just talking nonsense.
After saying that, the two people left in a hurry. As they walked, they looked back at me with twinkling eyes.
If it were before, I definitely wouldn't take it seriously. After all, which hotel doesn't have a few horror legends? But since my grandfather died, I no longer dare to take these things lightly, lest I lose my life if I don't pay attention.
So instead of entering the room, I closed the door again and stood in the corridor, waiting for Wu Tinghan to come back. She is professional in this area. If there is any problem with the room, she will know it at a glance. I don't need to take this risk.
A few minutes later, Wu Tinghan walked out of the elevator with the long object wrapped in steps. When he saw me standing in the corridor, he immediately frowned and asked me, "Are you going out?"
I said, I haven't entered the room yet.
After that, I told her exactly what I had encountered before, and then asked her, please help me see if there is something wrong with this room?
She glanced at me after hearing this, then reached out and knocked on the door. I saw that her gesture of knocking on the door was a little different from the way we usually knock on the door, but I couldn't tell the specific difference at the moment.
She knocked three times before telling me to open the door.
I opened the door as instructed, then moved my seat out of the way and made a gesture of invitation to her.
She glanced at me sideways, then grabbed the key card and inserted it into the power slot. Then she threw her own key card to me and said, "Go to the other side."
I took the room card with a smile, and while backing away, I said, "Why are you so embarrassed? You see what happened... Good night!"
While I was talking, I was brushing the door with my backhand. After saying 'good night', I had already entered the room. When the last punctuation mark landed, the door happened to be closed by me.
It's not that I'm a coward, but I feel that I've caused her a lot of trouble along the way, so don't bother others with my affairs in the middle of the night - so I just leave the trouble to her, so that I don't have to worry about it anymore. Am I troubling her?
So I brushed my teeth, washed my face, took a shower, turned off the lights, went to bed, and went to bed without any delay. I was afraid that Wu Tinghan would knock on the door and ask me to change rooms. I turned off the lights and fell asleep. You always Shouldn't you have to change rooms with me?
With this little secret of joy, I quickly fell asleep. I thought I would be able to sleep until dawn after a tiring day, but I was still woken up by the damn knocking on the door.
It's already so late, does she, Wu Tinghan, still want to change rooms with me?
I yelled outside, saying, I slept naked, so you definitely won’t need this bed.
I originally thought that these words would make Wu Tinghan give up, but I didn't expect that woman was not fooled at all, and the knock on the door was even more urgent than before.
I had no choice but to get up, turn on the light and open the door, and then... I froze at the door, as if I was petrified.
Because I saw that there was no one in the dim corridor!
