Chapter 8 God of Gamblers Chapter 36: A Man's Adventure
As soon as Xiao Xia came out of Tietou Mountain, he rushed to Naman Village without stopping.
In terms of the journey, it was much closer to southern Sichuan to Yunnan than the last time they went from the north to Naman to handle Guan Zheng's case. However, due to inconvenient transportation, it took more time than the last time.
For a few days, Xiaoxia has basically not slept. She was afraid that Ruan Zhan's soul would wake up and that she would never be able to save him again. So even though she was so tired, she still tried her best to hurry. Compared to the pain of losing Ruan Zhan, all tortures could be tolerated.
However, it seemed that God was deliberately trying to go against her. No matter what means of transportation she chose, she would have a situation halfway. The plane or train was delayed, and the car broke down halfway. Even if she found a taxi, she would have gone the wrong way. This made her anxious and wanted to fly to the vine. But when she finally arrived at the town at the foot of the mountain, her body was almost disintegrated and the sky was already dark.
After eating a bowl of rice noodles and drinking some water, she guaranteed not to starve to death on the way to seek medical treatment, she began to consider whether to go up the mountain overnight. Time didn't wait for anyone, of course she wanted to set off immediately, but the forests in the middle of the night were dangerous. Not to mention the monsters and monsters, it was just that the mountain roads at night were difficult to walk. She was not afraid that something would happen to her, but that something happened to her, and Ruan Zhan could not save her.
Just as she was wandering around the entrance of the town and was difficult to make a decision, she was attracted by a loud noise of machine sound. When she turned around, she saw a brand new red tractor driving from inside the town to outside the town. The position where she stood was obviously blocking the road.
Instinctively, she wanted to dodge, but at the same time she had an idea, so she hurried back to her original position to stop the car. The person who drove the tractor obviously did not expect her to be like this, and did not slow down at all. At this moment, she only had an emergency brake. Looking at the front of the car, Xiao Xia closed her eyes in horror, and heard a sharp chirping. When she opened her eyes, the tractor was only half a foot away from her. If the person who drove the tractor braked half a second later, she would be knocked away directly.
The person who drove the tractor was so scared that he was stunned for a minute before he recovered. He stared at Xiaoxia, looking very angry, and shouted at her a string of ethnic minority dialects. The others sitting on the tractor were talking nonsense. Xiaoxia didn't understand at all, but knew that it was a swearing, but it was her fault. She asked for help, so she could only listen and acted like a good attitude, and kept bowing and apologizing.
She couldn't tell the difference between the clothing of ethnic minorities, but based on her experience of living in Naman Village for a while last time, the tractor and the seven or eight people in the small dump behind her seemed to be from Najin Village, the neighboring village of Naman.
"Is there anyone who can speak Mandarin - Chinese?" She leaned over to the side of the tractor, looked at the people pitifully, asked loudly, and slowed down her voice.
"You don't have to say that, I can understand." A young man in his twenties said. He was wearing a self-woven blue cloth double-breasted top, wide-edged big pants, and a blue-blue trousers. The young girl next to him seemed to be with him. She was wearing a blue-black round-necked slanted collar short, an embroidered square towel on the front chest, a long skirt, a cuff skirt with white cloth edges, a tied hair, a black veil, and a pair of large silver earrings on her ears. In Xiaoxia's memory, this dress seemed to be a Zhuang tribe, and she was called a Tuliao, and should be from Jincun.
"May I ask, are you from Na Jin Village?" she asked nervously.
If so, she could take a while. She still remembers that there was a small wild shop in the middle of the mountain, where there was a three-way intersection. The three villages in this hill were separated from there, and Naman Village was the closest to the wild shop. Although something terrible happened in the wild shop last time, Wanli almost died here, but when she came to find Abai last time, the wild shop had been renovated, and the real shop owner and his wife had already returned to operate it.
If she could take a taxi to the wild shop, she could go to the Man Village by herself, or pay the owner to send her away. She knew that family, and they were all very kind and simple people.
"How do you know?" said the young man: "My name is Tushui. We are going back to the village. Are you going up the mountain? Who are you looking for? It's dark now, and it's too dangerous for you to walk the mountain alone!"
"I'm going to Naman Village. I have something urgent to ask the village chief." Xiao Xia said quickly and carried out the respected village chief: "Can you take me for a while?"
"That's fine." Tushui agreed without discussing with the person who drove the tractor, "But when it's time for three toes, you have to leave by yourself. We have urgent matters, and we must go back to the village as soon as possible. There is no way to send you off. I advise you to leave tomorrow during the day."
When Xiaoxia heard this, she firmly asked others to take her for a while. She calculated in her mind that if it went well, she would be able to find Abai in the middle of the night and then go back to Tietou Mountain overnight. In that case, even if Abai would take several days to save Ruan Zhan, it would be time to go.
The person driving the tractor muttered, as if he was in a hurry to go on the road. He thought that Xiaoxia and Tushui had discussed it for too long, so Xiaoxia hurriedly climbed into the truck behind the tractor, hurriedly hurriedly hurriedly huddled in a corner, and drove out of the town as the tractor trembled and bumped.
In the eyes of the others in the town, they all thought Xiaoxia was a lunatic. She was a woman from a foreign country, who came here in a dusty manner, so dirty that she could not see her original color. She was unkempt and anxious. After eating something, she didn't find a restaurant to stay. She kept walking around the town gate, and then she was chewing there alone, not knowing what to say to anyone, and finally ran to the mountain. A few kind-hearted people wanted to call her, but she disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Xiao Xia didn't know these. She only heard that when she was having a meal, she had recently built a simple gravel road from the foot of the mountain to the village on the mountain. The money paid by Naman Village and the other two villages also had manpower. Although the road to the mountain is not unobstructed, it has been much easier to walk. She guessed that last time she stole He Fugui's ill-gotten wealth and brought some benefits to Naman, and also made her way to the mountain smoother. She was happy about this matter and finally helped others, and she felt that good people would be rewarded. Her previous kindness is now rewarded to her, which can make her rescue Ruan Zhan smoother.
The tractor was really fast, no slower than the car. Sitting in the corner of the car, she felt dizzy. She looked up at the other people and saw that they were not talking. She seemed very tired and was sleepy under the bumps of the tractor. She wanted to wake them up because the wind in the mountains was unusually cold, so cold that her teeth were trembling. If she fell asleep like this, wouldn’t she catch a cold?
"Hey, wake up." She pushed Tushui beside her.
Tushui turned her head and glared at Xiaoxia, as if she blamed her for waking him up, then lowered her head to sleep. Xiaoxia's hands were frozen in the air, feeling even colder.
Tushui's face was gray-black. In the gray-black, the pupils and lips were pale and not a trace of blood. The muscles on the cheeks were wrinkled like dried meat. They were not a living face at all! Looking at the others, although they all lowered their heads, their side faces could be seen clearly in the moonlight, and they were all the same as Tushui.
She actually got into a ghost car full of dead people! What's going on? Although it was already dark when she went up the mountain, it wasn't until the time when fierce ghosts were rampant! Why did she come to her again? Is it because she was too lucky or did she have any conspiracy? But why were she targeting her? Could it be that something was secretly stopping her from saving Ruan Zhan?
Thinking of Ruan Zhan's name and Bao Datong's words that the three men were waiting for her to save him, Xiaoxia was afraid, but she felt a little courage. She couldn't be scared! She told herself, and secretly observed the situation around her.
On both sides of the narrow mountain road, cliffs fell behind like dense forests. The black shadows shone out by the moonlight on this strange tractor, making the sleeping "people" look even more empty. The road was extremely quiet. Even the roar of the tractor disappeared at some point. Xiao Xia felt as if she was sitting on a kite and moving forward.
She quietly shrank back, afraid of waking them up, and at the same time observed where she could jump off the car. But for some reason, the moonlight was bright, but the ground was pitch black. It seemed that there were cliffs on the front, back, left and right of the tractor. No matter which side she jumped from, she would fall into the mountain stream.
Suddenly there was a violent vibration. Although there was no sound, the entire tractor seemed to be bumped by something. Not only was Xiao Xia pounding, but the Zhuang woman (Tu Lie) next to Tushui also shook. She kept sleeping with her head down. The shock caused her head to lit up heavily, and it actually broke with a click and rolled to Xiao Xia's feet, with her face facing up and her eyes still closed.
Tu Liao moved for a moment, slowly crawled over, reached out to take his head. After she caught the head, she opened her eyes and said something to Xiao Xia. Xiao Xia couldn't understand and dared not answer. She just stood still, watching Tu Liao return to his seat and continue to sleep.
But less than a second, Tu Xiao opened her eyes again. This time, she no longer looked sleepy, as if she was awakened. She looked at Xiao Xia in a row and screamed: "No her!" This time, she was speaking Chinese, and Xiao Xia understood.
When she shouted, all the people on the tractor woke up. Even the people who drove the tractor turned around. The local official pointed at Xiaoxia and shouted: "No her! There is no her in the car!"
"Who are you? Why are you on our tractor?" Tu Shui asked when she pulled the clothes on her chest.
Because the two were too close to each other, Xiao Xia had no way to hide, and she was lifted up and was shaking in the air like a rag doll by Tushui.
"You asked me to get on your hearse!" Xiao Xia shouted in her heart, but she couldn't speak. She was still awake in fear, and she touched her pocket. She felt a hot heart in her hand and hurriedly held it tightly.
"I recognize her. She is the city man who donated money to build roads to Naman Village." Another person said.
Tushui said oh and looked at Xiaoxia hatefully, "It's all you bad. If you didn't pay for the money, we wouldn't have built roads. If I didn't build roads, I wouldn't have driven a tractor so fast, and I wouldn't have fallen into the mountain stream in front of the Sancha Road. It's your bad, and I'm going to pay your life now!" He said viciously, because it was less than half a foot away from Xiaoxia's face, Xiaoxia, who had no yin and yang eyes, could clearly see that his whole face was full of black resentment. And as he said, his palms began to tighten, trying to strangle Xiaoxia to death.
The feeling of suffocation came. Even though Xiao Xia held the talisman in his hand, he could not raise his arm now. But at this critical moment, the bone chain given by Uncle Bao played a role later. The bone chain did not have the sacred power of the amulet and reacted slowly to the evil spirit. Now that he realized that the evil thing was suddenly red, the dazzling light suddenly shot on Tushui's face, causing him to let go of Xiao Xia with a scream.
In an instant, Xiao Xia clearly saw behind Tushui's lifeless face, a pair of flexible black eyes were looking at her, which made her even more creepy.
"Nanli Tianhuo, Transform Samadhi, Refining!" As soon as he recovered his freedom, Xiao Xia threw out the fire talisman of the Five Elements Forbidden Method, and at the same time he didn't care about anything, he jumped under the car.
She didn't have time to think about it or see the road clearly. She just had the instinct of escape that prompted her to make a choice. The moment she jumped out of the car, she even regretted it. What if this was a mountain stream? Then she would fall to death. If she died, who would save Ruan Zhan?!
With a loud bang, in her anger, she landed on the ground. Although it hurts to fall, she obviously did not fall to a deep place. There seemed to be a slanting earth slope under her body. She rolled twice and stopped.
Before she could calm down, she immediately took out another talisman and looked up. The tractor was flashing with white and black light, and was parked not far behind her. She quickly cast the water talisman of the Five Elements Forbidden Method. Water and fire were attacking each other, and the terrifying hearse in front of her finally disappeared.
Looking around, it was a sloping slope beside the gravel road. There was no cliff in the distance, only a small hill wall. Xiao Xia was afraid that something strange would appear again, so he quickly took out another talisman and was on guard.
She had been to the mana twice. Although it was deep in the mountains, it was easy to distinguish the direction after the gravel road was repaired. She found that she was almost halfway up the mountain, and she should have reached the wild shop on Sancha Road. If she went down the mountain at this moment, the journey would not be close. For Xiaoxia, it was as heavy as she was holding her back and she might as well go up the mountain directly, at least it was closer to Ah Bai. She had no time and had to hurry up every second.
Walking forward, although the mountain village shop gave her very bad memories, and the current situation does not guarantee that the owner's family is still normal, she can go directly from Sancha Road to Naman Village without entering that shop.
"Why, how do you get to the Man Village?" a woman suddenly asked.
This was so sudden that it almost scared Xiao Xia. When she turned around, she found that it was a woman in black, with black hair hanging down to her waist, and her whole body was covered in snow-white face. From a distance, she thought that a piece of white paper was floating in the air.
"Did you leave from there?" The woman said and pointed to the front again. Her hands were also terrible white. She looked at Xiao Xia, and there were only those black eyes on her white face that seemed to be alive, but she seemed to be looking at Xiao Xia's back.
Seeing that Xiaoxia ignored her, the woman stretched her other hand into the air, and a lamp with green fireflies instantly lit in her palm. Then, without waiting for Xiaoxia to answer, she walked forward, which was the direction of the vine.
No one asked for directions on the mountain road in the middle of the night, and she was not a human being!
