Chapter 241 Dead End Road
However, now that the old ape demon is dead, this matter cannot be verified.
"No matter what it is, take it away first and then talk about it."
With a thought in my mind, I put the bronze plate away and then fled towards Tianmu Mountain.
It turns out that my worries were not unfounded.
Less than a stick of incense left Tianmu Mountain, and the figure of Yaizhen left and returned again.
He was just scared out of his wits by the power of the divine thunder talisman, and that's why he ran away.
But after it calmed down, I realized that the thunder talisman I condensed later was completely different from the previous one.
Only then did Yaizhen realize that he had been tricked. Unfortunately, by the time it came back, I had already fled.
Yaizhen's eyes turned blood red and he let out a deafening howl.
"Asshole, sooner or later I'm going to cramp and skin you."
The next day.
Fifty miles northwest of Tianmu Mountain, in a hidden cave.
I sat cross-legged and calmed the raging blood in my body.
Fortunately, there are a lot of healing herbs in the old ape demon's cave. After I took a few of them, the discomfort in my body gradually dissipated.
Before I knew it, it was already daybreak, and beasts roared incessantly all night in the direction of Tianmu Mountain.
Although the old ape demon is dead now, who knows if some old tree demon, old bull demon, or old bear demon will appear again in the future.
As long as there is greed and malice continues to grow, these ferocious gods and demons will never be able to be killed.
Slowly exhaling a breath, I walked out of the cave.
There are lush mountains and forests everywhere. Last night, I just wanted to leave Tianmu Mountain as soon as possible, but I didn’t know where I ended up.
I climbed to the top of the mountain and looked around, and then I discovered that there was a winding road on the mountain ridge in front of me.
At this moment, there happened to be a small truck circling down the winding mountain road.
"There is really no end to the road. Go and see if you can hitch a ride."
call!
I screamed and fled towards the ground.
Buzz…………
A small truck sped down the winding mountain road, stirring up a puff of smoke and dust on the dirt road.
"Ah...peony, the most colorful among the flowers..."
A young driver with middle-parted hair and jeans was turning the steering wheel and humming a tune.
Although this road was extremely rugged, few cars passed it, so he drove more boldly.
The young man touched his trouser pocket, and the smile on his face was already overflowing.
This time I went to Jiangbei to deliver goods, at least I made a net profit of two yuan, and I am one step closer to buying a house and marrying my mother-in-law.
Just when the driver was in a high mood, a gray-faced head suddenly appeared in the middle of the road ahead.
"I go…………"
The young driver was so frightened that he suddenly stepped on the brakes. The wheels rubbed against the sand and slid forward for several meters before stopping.
"I won't hit anyone, right?"
The young driver swallowed and felt that his heart was about to jump out of his chest.
If he bumped into someone, his trip would be in vain, and he might even have to face a lawsuit.
When we were just going downhill, there was no one on the road, so why did someone appear out of nowhere?
The young driver leaned forward and looked out from the wind, but there was nothing on the road.
"Did he get caught under the wheel?"
The young driver imagined the tragic scene under the wheel and felt his scalp numb.
"In this wilderness, if I ran away, no one would know that I bumped into someone, right?"
The young driver gripped the steering wheel tightly and put his toes on the accelerator.
"Okay! I can't do it. One person does the work and the other takes responsibility."
The driver took a deep breath and turned off the car.
He rolled down the glass of the car window, leaned out, and looked under the wheels.
But there was nothing under the wheels, and not a trace of blood was seen on the road.
"How come there is nothing?"
The young driver felt his scalp numb for a while.
I have long heard that this road is not very clean. Could it be that there is something dirty?
If it weren't for the sake of saving some gas, he wouldn't have taken this remote mountain road even if he was beaten to death.
"Hey, big brother, what are you looking for?"
Just then, a voice suddenly came from behind the driver.
"Ghost......"
The young driver was so frightened that his mouth opened wide and his two little hands were waving wildly in front of him.
I took a wild fruit out of my pocket, put it in my mouth, took a bite, and then handed it to the driver.
"Would you like a bite to calm down the shock?"
The driver was so frightened that cold sweat broke out on his back, and he looked at me in fear.ωωw..net
"Are you a human or a ghost?"
I couldn't help but smile, raised my hand and turned it around.
"Of course I am a human being. Have you ever seen a ghost come out in broad daylight?"
The young driver looked at me up and down suspiciously.
"How do I know if what you say is true?"
I helplessly spread my hands and pointed towards the reflector on the front of the car.
"If you don't believe it, look in the reflector. Ghosts have no shadows."
The driver looked towards the reflector with a worried look on his face, and happened to see me munching wild fruits.
"There's something wrong with you! Do you know that people are scary and can scare them to death?"
The driver took a deep breath and couldn't help scolding me.
"I didn't mean to scare you, I just wanted to give you a ride."
The young driver was holding back his anger and originally wanted to refuse.
But then I thought about it, it seemed a bit unkind to abandon me in this wilderness.
This mountain road is very remote, and it is said that this road is not very clean, and maybe not even a car passes by it in a day.
After being frightened just now, he felt a little scared now, so he decided to recruit someone to give him courage.
"Come up! Come up..."
The driver waved his hand and asked me to get in the car.
"Okay, thank you brother."
I quickly opened the door and sat in the passenger seat.
The young driver took out a box of soft-shell cigarettes from his pocket and shakily took one into his mouth.
After calming down for a while, he started the car again and continued driving towards the mountain road.
"Would you like one?"
The driver handed the cigarette case to me.
"Won't."
I waved my hand and refused.
The driver took a puff of cigarette and then looked at me.
"Why did you come to this barren mountain to wait for the car? This road was built by mining in the past. It is rare for a car to pass by on weekdays."
"I went into the mountains to collect herbs. I accidentally got lost. If you hadn't been kind enough to give me a ride, little brother, I would have had to walk for several days before I could get out!"
The young driver showed a faint smile and waved his hands repeatedly.
"You're welcome. My girlfriend often whispers in my ear that it's not easy when I'm away from home. If you encounter someone who's in trouble, I'll help you if you can."
"You have a good girlfriend! You're not young anymore. When do you plan to get married?"
The young driver sighed softly, his brows filled with sorrow.
"It's not that easy! My girlfriend's mother said that if she wants to get married, she must get a gift of one thousand yuan.
Four large pieces of three-gold jewelry are also required, and five large tile-roofed houses must be rebuilt, which add up to at least two to three thousand yuan.
As a truck driver, I travel through wind and rain every day, and I can only save a few hundred yuan at most throughout the year.
If it weren’t for saving some gas money, I wouldn’t have taken this haunted dead end road!”
I couldn't help but frown and looked towards the dusty mountain road.
