Chapter 242 Headless Tree

I rolled my eyes, feeling instantly interested.

"What do you mean? Is there something unclean on this road?"

The young driver swallowed, his eyes full of worry.

"Actually, this is my first time walking on this road. I heard from some veteran freight drivers that accidents often happen on this road.

Either the brakes failed temporarily, or the car suddenly blew out a tire and rolled over, or even something unclean might grab the steering wheel.

In short, this road is very evil, and many people have died over the years.

Normally, experienced local drivers would rather take a detour of hundreds of miles than take this shortcut."

I nodded slightly, smiled at the driver and asked.

"You know this road is not clean, why do you have to ask for trouble?"

The driver's face turned red, he casually put out the cigarette butt and threw it out of the window.

"I...I'm not doing this just to make more money.

If you take the main road, the distance will be at least twice as long, and you will waste gas and miss work.

I am already twenty-eight years old, and my partner is one year older than me.

How can I bear to let people wait for me all the time?

Nowadays, it doesn’t matter whether you work hard or tired, as long as you can make more money.

I thought that even if there is dirt on this road, it should be no big deal in the clear day."

I glanced at the driver, but I hesitated to speak.

Dirty things may not only come out and be active at night, some dirty things may even be more active during the day.

I had seen the face of the young driver just now, and I saw that his hall was darkened and dark clouds covered his face.

It proves that he is unlucky and may be plagued by bad luck.

If he hadn't met me, something would have happened to him today.

Of course, I can't say much about this kind of thing, so as not to scare people.

Is there really something wrong with this road?

I was ridiculed in my heart, and my eyes scanned the mountain road ahead, but I didn't find anything unusual.

Maybe he was frightened just now, but the driver drove smoothly on the rest of the way.

The truck drove on the winding mountain road for more than half an hour, surrounded by lush mountain forests.

I chatted nonsense with the driver guy, and the driver guy's original nervousness also relaxed a lot.

During the conversation, I learned that this young man’s name was Tong An and he was from southern Shaanxi.

On weekdays, I make a living by running freight, traveling all over the world, and taking on any kind of messy job.

"Thirteen brothers, after passing the ridge in front, you should be able to see the main road.

I don’t know where you are going yet, can we go along the way?”

Seeing that he was about to leave this "dead road", Tong An's mood became much better and he asked me enthusiastically.

"I returned to Yunzhou and opened a medical clinic in Yunzhou City."

I replied with a slight smile on my face.

"Yunzhou! You opened a medical clinic in Yunzhou and came to Jiangbei to collect medicine?"

"The medicine I want is only available in Tianmu Mountain in Jiangbei."

Tong An smiled and did not continue to inquire.

"Originally I thought I could give you a little extra time, but I'm still in a hurry to go back to southern Shaanxi, and it's not easy for us!

If you wait a while, I will send you to a nearby town. If you wait a little longer, there might be a car back to Yunzhou."

I squinted my eyes and couldn't help but stretch.

"Don't bother me, just take me back to Yunzhou directly."

Tong An couldn't help but frowned, wondering what he was encountering!

I was kind enough to give you a ride, but why did you hit the snake with a stick?

"Brother Thirteen, maybe I didn't explain it clearly to you.

I just make hard money by selling goods. If it's only ten miles away, I will send you home.

Yunzhou is hundreds of kilometers away from Jiangbei, so it can't be reached just by turning a corner.

Let's go along this way and I won't charge you any money.

It's not easy to go out, but Yunzhou is too far away and I can't go there."

Seeing Tong An's troubled expression, I couldn't help but smile.

"Brother Tong, you misunderstood me.

What I mean is that I hired your car to take me back to Yunzhou. Anyway, you are also pulling goods, and you are also pulling people.

Of course I won't let your hard work go in vain. Do you think this money is enough to make a corner?"

As I said that, I took out a wad of big unity from my pocket and shook it towards Tong An.

Tong An looked at the money in my hand and was completely stunned. The money in this pile was several hundred at least.

"Brother Thirteen, actually it won't cost much if you take the train back to a nearby station."

"It doesn't matter! I'm in a hurry to return to Yunzhou. If you think it's not enough, I can add more."

Tong An quickly shook his head and showed a wry smile.

"No, no, no, no, no.

The money you have is enough to go directly to Tanggula Pass, not to mention just a roundabout."

Tong An hesitated for a moment, and finally only took two pieces of Great Unity from my hand.

"This twenty yuan is enough for me to go back and forth."

This Tong An is quite honest and can still stick to his bottom line in the face of huge sums of money."

Seeing that Tong An only took the money he deserved, I had no choice but to collect the money in my hand.

"Thank you very much. Then there will be Brother Lao Tong along the way."

Tong An smiled awkwardly and said, "Brother Thirteen, don't say that.

It's my turn to say thank you. I usually drive a truck of goods for several hundred kilometers, and after deducting the gas money, I only earn about ten to eight yuan.

And it’s not necessarily possible to live every day.

This is my first time pulling someone in. I'm already taking a huge advantage by charging you twenty yuan, and running on empty will save a lot of fuel."

Tong An showed a silly smile and looked very contented.

Unknowingly, the truck had climbed up a steep mountain. One side of the road was close to the mountain wall, and the other side was a steep cliff.

Looking through the car window, there is endless white mist floating everywhere among the mountains.

"Brother Thirteen, look at the crooked-neck tree in front of you. It looks really weird!"

Suddenly Tong An pointed towards the road with a faint smile on his face.

A dry old tree grew horizontally from the sandstone of the mountain wall, as if a big hand grew out of thin air.

The key point is that this tree has only one side branch sticking out, and the main trunk is bare.

It's like this tree with only arms and no head.

The green light in my eyes flashed across the bald tree.

The tree body swayed with the wind, and layers of rich Yin Qi spread out.

"Headless tree! Brother Tong, stop the car quickly."

I frowned and shouted at Tong An.

Although Tong An didn't know what happened, he immediately stepped on the brakes as I said.

"No, the brakes failed."

Tong An looked panicked, and the car began to sway left and right.

I frowned slightly, and I just saw two ghost figures passing by out of the corner of my eye.

"Don't panic, control the direction, I will solve it."

I frowned and hurriedly opened the car window.
