The Exorcist

Chapter 36 A person’s adventure

As soon as Xiaoxia came out of Tietou Mountain, she rushed to Naman Village without stopping.

In terms of road, it is much closer from southern Sichuan to Yunnan than the last time they went from the north to Naman to handle Guan Zheng's case. However, due to the inconvenient transportation, it took more time than last time.

In the past few days, Xiaoxia had hardly slept. She was afraid that Ruan Zhan's soul would wake up and that she would never be able to save him. So even though she was exhausted, she still rushed to the deadline. Compared with the pain of losing Ruan Zhan, everything tortured her. It's all bearable.

However, it seemed that God was deliberately against her. No matter what mode of transportation she chose, something would go wrong along the way. Planes and trains would be delayed, cars would break down along the way, and even if she found a taxi, she would take the wrong road. This made her anxious, wishing she could fly to Naman, but when she finally arrived at the small town at the foot of the mountain, her body was almost falling apart, and it was already dark.

After eating a bowl of rice noodles and drinking some water to ensure that she would not starve to death on the way to seek medical treatment, she began to consider whether to go up the mountain overnight. Time waits for no one, of course she wants to leave immediately, but the mountains and forests at night are dangerous. Not to mention there will be monsters and ghosts, but the mountain roads at night are difficult to walk. It's not that she's afraid that something will happen to her, but that if something happens to her, Ruan Zhan won't be able to save her.

While she was wandering around the town, having trouble making a decision, she was attracted by the sound of a loud machine. Turning around, she saw a brand new red tractor driving from the town to the outside. The position where she stood was obviously blocking their way.

Instinctively, she wanted to get out of the way, but at the same time she had an idea, so she quickly ran back to her original position to stop the car. The person driving the tractor obviously didn't expect her to behave like this. He didn't slow down at all. He only applied the emergency brake at this moment. Looking at the approaching car, Xiaoxia closed her eyes in fear, only to hear a sharp scream. When she opened her eyes again, the tractor was only half a foot away from her. If the person driving the tractor had braked half a second later, she would have stopped. It will be knocked away directly.

The man driving the tractor was so frightened that he was stunned for a minute before he recovered. He stared at Xiaoxia, looking very angry, and yelled a string of ethnic minority dialects at her. The other people sitting on the tractor were also shocked. Talking nonsense. Xiaoxia didn't understand it at all, but she knew it was a curse, but it was her fault, and she had something to ask for, so she could only listen, pretending to have a good attitude, and kept bowing. Apologize.

She couldn't tell the difference between the costumes of ethnic minorities, but based on her experience living in Naman Village last time, the tractor driver and the seven or eight people in the small dump truck behind seemed to be from Naman's neighboring village. The people from Jincun.

"Is there anyone who can speak Mandarin, that is, Chinese?" She leaned against the side of the tractor, looked at these people pitifully, and asked loudly, slowing down her voice.

"You don't have to say it like that, I understand." A young man in his twenties said in the car. He was wearing a self-woven blue cloth double-breasted top, broad-brimmed trousers, and a blue handkerchief wrapped around his head. The young girl next to him seemed to be with him, wearing a green and black round-neck slant-breasted short jacket with an embroidered square scarf on the front. , wearing a long skirt, the cuffs were trimmed with white cloth, her hair was tied up, covered with a black handkerchief, and she wore a pair of large silver earrings on her ears. In Xiaoxia's memory, this kind of dress seemed to be the Zhuang nationality. , called Tu Liao, should be from Jin Village.

"Excuse me, are you going to Najin Village?" she asked nervously.

If so, she'd be in for a ride. She still remembered that there was a small wild shop in the middle of the mountain. There was a three-way intersection there. The three villages in this hill were separated from there, and Naman Village was the closest one to the wild shop. Although a terrible thing happened in the wild shop last time, and Wan Li almost died there, the last time she came to see Abai, the wild shop had been renovated, and the real owner and his wife had come back to run the business.

If she could get a ride to the wild store, she could go to Naman Village by herself, or she could pay the store owner to take her there. She knew that family, they were all very kind and honest people.

"How do you know?" the young man said, "my name is Tushui, and we are going back to the village. Do you want to go up the mountain? Who are you looking for? It's dark now. It's too dangerous for you to walk on the mountain road alone!"

"I'm going to Naman Village. I have something urgent to do with the village chief." Xiaoxia said quickly, and carried out the respected village chief: "Can you take me for a while?"

"That's no problem." Tushui agreed without consulting the tractor driver, "But you have to leave by yourself when you reach Sancha Road. We also have something urgent and must return to the village as soon as possible. I can't see you off. I advise You’d better leave during the day tomorrow.”

When Xiaoxia heard this, she insisted on giving her a ride. She calculated in her mind that if things went well, she would be able to find Abai in the middle of the night and then return to Tietou Mountain overnight. In that case, even if Abai takes several days to treat Ruan Zhan, he can still make it in time.

The man driving the tractor grunted, as if he was in a hurry, and felt that Xiaoxia and Tushui were taking too long to discuss, so Xiaoxia hurriedly climbed into the bed behind the tractor, huddled in a corner, and seemed to tremble with the tractor. A bumpy ride out of town.

From the perspective of other people in the town, they all thought Xiaoxia was a psychopath. She was a foreign woman who came here after a long journey. She was so dirty that her original color could not be seen. She was unkempt and anxious. After eating something, she did not find a hotel to stay. She kept wandering around the gate of the town, and then A person was gesticulating there, not knowing who she was talking to, and finally she ran up the mountain in a hurry. There were a few kind people who wanted to stop her, but she disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Xiaoxia didn't know this. She only heard during her meal that a simple gravel road had recently been built from the foot of the mountain to the village on the mountain. Naman Village paid for it and the other two villages also contributed manpower. Now the people going up the mountain Although the road is not smooth, it is much easier. She guessed that last time she stole He Fugui's ill-gotten wealth to bring some benefits to Naman, and also made her way up the mountain smoother. Regarding this matter, she was happy that she could finally help others, and she felt that good people would eventually be rewarded. The kindness she had in the past was now returned to her, making her rescue of Ruan Zhan smoother.

The tractor drove really fast, not much slower than a car. Sitting in the corner of the truck, I actually felt dizzy. She looked up at the others and saw that none of them spoke. They seemed to be very tired and 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 chattered. If she fell asleep like this, wouldn't she catch a cold?

"Hey, wake up." She pushed Tushui beside her.

Tushui turned around and glared at Xiaoxia, seeming to blame her for waking him up, then lowered his head and went back to sleep. Xiaoxia's hands froze in mid-air, feeling even colder.

Tushui's face is gray-black. Among the gray-black, his pupils and lips are so pale that there is no trace of blood. The muscles on his cheeks are shriveled like dried meat. It is not the face of a living person at all. ! Looking at the other people, although they all had their heads lowered, their profiles 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! How is this going? Although it was already dark when she went up the mountain, it was not yet the time for evil spirits to roam rampant! Why did you find her again? Is she just too unlucky or does she have some conspiracy? But why target her? Could it be that there was something secretly preventing her from saving Ruan Zhan.

Thinking of Ruan Zhan's name, and thinking of Bao Datong saying that the three men were waiting for her to rescue, Xiaoxia felt fearful in her heart, but she also felt a little courage. Don't be intimidated! She told herself, while secretly observing the situation around her.

On both sides of the narrow mountain road, the cliffs fell backwards like dense forests. The black shadows illuminated by the moonlight sprinkled on this strange tractor, making the sleeping "people" look even more emptier. The road was extremely quiet. Even the roar of the tractor disappeared at some point. Xiaoxia felt as if she was sitting on a kite and moving forward.

She shrank back quietly, fearing to wake them up, and at the same time she was observing the place where she could jump out of the car. But for some reason, the moonlight was bright, but the ground was pitch black. It seemed that there were cliffs in front, back, left, and right of the tractor. No matter where she was from, Anyone who jumps will fall into the mountain stream.

Suddenly there was a violent vibration. Although there was no sound, the whole tractor seemed to be jolted by something. Not only Xiaoxia was shaken, but the Zhuang woman (Tu Liao) next to Tushui also trembled. She had been sleeping with her head lowered. This shock made her head nod hard, and it suddenly broke with a snap. She rolled to Xiaoxia's feet with her face facing upwards and her eyes still closed.

Tu Liao moved, slowly crawled over, and reached out to take his head. After being caught by her, the head opened its eyes and said something in native language to Xiaoxia. Xiaoxia didn't understand and didn't dare to answer. She just froze and watched the native officer return to his seat and continue to sleep.

But in less than a second, Tu Liao opened his eyes again. This time, she no longer looked sleepy. She seemed to have been awakened. She looked at Xiaoxia and screamed: "There is no her!" This time, she spoke in Chinese, and Xiaoxia understood it clearly.

When she shouted, everyone on the tractor woke up, and even the tractor driver turned around, only to hear the country official pointing at Xiaoxia and shouting: "There is no her! There is no her in the car!"

"Who are you? Why are you on our tractor?" Tushui was closest to Xiaoxia and asked, grabbing the clothes on her chest.

Because the two were too close to each other, Xiao Xia had no way to escape. Her whole body was lifted up and swayed in mid-air by Tu Shui like a rag doll.

"It was you who let me get into your hearse!" Xiaoxia shouted in her heart, but she couldn't speak. She was still awake in the panic, and she reached into her pocket. She felt a heat in her hand and held it tightly.

"I recognize her. She is a city resident who donated money to build roads in Naman Village." Another person said.

Tushui groaned and looked at Xiaoxia bitterly, "It's all your fault. If you hadn't paid for it, we wouldn't have built the road. Without building the road, I wouldn't be able to drive such a fast tractor, let alone He fell into the mountain stream in front of the three-way road. It was your fault, and now you have to pay for it with your life!" He said viciously, because the distance between his and Xiaoxia's faces was less than half a foot, so even Xiaoxia, who did not have yin and yang eyes, could clearly see His whole face was filled with black resentment. And as he spoke, his palms began to tighten, wanting to strangle Xiaoxia to death.

The feeling of suffocation came, and even though Xiaoxia had the talisman in her hand, she couldn't lift her arm now. But at this critical moment, the bone chain given by Uncle Bao played a role without realizing it. This bone chain did not have the sacred power of the amulet and was slow to react to evil. Now that it was aware of the invasion of evil, it suddenly turned red and the dazzling light hit Tushui's face, causing him to let go of Xiaoxia with a scream.

For a moment, Xiao Xia clearly saw a pair of flexible black eyes looking at her behind Tushui's lifeless face, which made her hair stand on end.

"Nanli Tianhuo, transform into samadhi, refine!" As soon as he regained his freedom, Xiaoxia threw out the fire talisman of the Five Elements Forbidden Law. At the same time, without caring about anything else, he jumped under the car.

She didn't have time to think carefully, and she couldn't see the road clearly. It was just her instinct to escape that prompted her to make a choice. The moment she jumped out of the car, she even regretted it. What if this is a mountain stream? Then she would fall to death. If she died, who would save Ruan Zhan? !

With a bang, in her annoyance, she fell to the ground. Although the fall was very painful, she obviously did not fall very deep. There seemed to be a sloping soil slope under her body. She rolled twice and stopped. Got off.

Without waiting for her body to calm down, she immediately took out another talisman. When she looked up, she saw that the tractor was shining with white and black lights and was parked not far behind her. She quickly cast the Five Elements Forbidden Water. symbol. There was a battle between water and fire, and the terrifying hearse in front of them finally disappeared.

Looking around, she saw a dirt slope on the gravel road. There was no cliff in the distance, only a small mountain wall. Xiaoxia was afraid that something strange would appear again, so she quickly took out another talisman and was on guard.

She has been to Naman twice. Although it is a deep mountain, it is easy to tell the direction after the gravel road is repaired. She found that she was almost halfway up the mountain. Going further, she should reach the wild store on Sancha Road. If she went down the mountain now, the journey would not be close. For Xiaoxia, it was as heavy as carrying her on her back, so she might as well go straight up the mountain. Go, at least we are closer to Abai. She had no time and had to seize every second.

Moving forward, although that mountain village outdoor store gave her very bad memories, and the current situation did not guarantee that the owner and his family were still normal, she could go directly to Naman Village from Sancha Road without entering that store.

"Excuse me, how to get to Naman Village?" A woman suddenly asked.

This was so sudden that it almost scared Xiaoxia. When I turned around, I saw a woman in black. She was all in black, with long black hair hanging down to her waist. She only had one face that was as white as snow. Looking from a distance, she thought there was a white face floating in the air. Paper.

"Are you going from there?" The woman said and pointed to the front again, her hands were also frighteningly white. She looked at Xiao Xia. Only the pair of black eyes on her white face seemed alive, but they 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 green lamp instantly lit up in her hand. Then she walked forward without waiting for Xiaoxia's answer, in the direction of the vine.

No one asked for directions on the mountain road in the middle of the night, and she wasn't a human either!
