Chapter 13 - Twig
Chapter 13 Twigs
Master Liu can’t forget the experience that day.
As usual, a bus arrived. Master Liu, who was on the night shift, rolled the window of the car and was about to get off the bus to pick up passengers. A pair of young men and women suddenly appeared by the window. The woman’s face was pale and thin, and Master Liu was taken aback.
”Master, are you going to Lianshui Village?”
Master Liu reacted. It is estimated that staying up late and adding cigarettes made him nervous, and he could be frightened by passengers at night.
“Lianshui Village is in the mountains, and cars can’t get in. Now I can only pull you to the foot of the mountain. Tomorrow you will climb the mountain by yourself. Not only my other drivers can’t get in.”
Master Liu said, got off the car and took the luggage of the two of them, and warmly introduced Fengwu’s scenic spots and specialties.
The woman’s body is as weak as her face. The man supported him with his left hand, and handed the luggage to Master Liu with his right hand, and thanked him softly.
“You’re welcome!” Master Liu’s tone became less tough, and he unconsciously lowered his voice, “There are many hotels at the foot of the mountain, cheap and expensive, I won’t recommend it to you, like Like a procrastination…”
After speaking, he smiled awkwardly.
A middle-aged man ran over from a distance, looking worriedly like a seriously ill woman.
“Look for a car.”
“I found it, brother…” The woman pulled out a weak smile, “I’ll be here in a while, isn’t there a Dapeng to take care of me? Don’t worry…”
The woman uttered several words in one breath, and when she uttered the last few words, she sounded almost dead.
The man who called Dapeng nodded, “Brother, let’s go, let’s book a hotel later and meet at the hotel.”
The man’s worried look didn’t diminish at all. He turned around and grabbed Master Liu’s hand and stuffed a banknote into it.
”Master, trouble you, my sister is not in good health, please drive slowly…just drive it steadily, we are not in a hurry…”
Master Liu was taken aback for a moment, and hurriedly pushed the money back.
“What are you talking about? My old Liu always drove steadily. This girl is not in good health. Isn’t it right to take care of this girl? If I take your money, it’s not the same as taking advantage of the fire. Take it back as soon as possible. I can’t use so much money for the car. .”
The man filled the money and turned around and ran to another taxi next to him. There were also a few people waiting beside the car.
“Master, please accept it,” Dapeng opened the door for the woman and carefully sent the woman to the car. “The drivers just saw my wife’s situation and didn’t pull us, they were all afraid…they were afraid of us…”
The last trace of hesitation in Master Liu’s heart was also swept away at this time, and he got into the car filled with outrage.
“I’m driving the night car, I’m not even afraid of ghosts, what am I afraid of?” After speaking, I suddenly realized that I seemed to have said something wrong, and Master Liu quickly changed the subject. “They are too unprofessional and unaccountable, no wonder the Chinese New Year. Can’t grab the dedication.”
The woman smiled, and the laughter was as soft as a butterfly flapping its wings inside and out.
Of course, Master Liu can’t tell this metaphor, but Master Liu thinks this girl is really fictitious, which makes people feel distressed.
“What’s the matter with my younger siblings? I’m still traveling when I’m sick.”
The woman sighed lightly, and lowered her head, as if she was tired.
Dapeng’s smile gradually became bitter, and he turned his face to look at the woman beside him.
“We went to find someone, and we searched for several places, but we didn’t find it…” Dapeng took off his coat and put it on the woman, “Xiao Zhi wanted to take a look at her.”
The woman is called Xiaozhi.
Master Liu stopped speaking. After a long time, he asked in a low voice: “Asleep?”
Dapeng squeezed out from his throat, Master Liu heard the cry inside, and his nose was also sore.
Damn, why are people so miserable in this world.
It didn’t take long for the destination to arrive. There were already five or six people waiting in front of the hotel. Master Liu stopped more securely than during the driving test. The moment he stopped, Xiao Zhi woke up.
Master Liu quickly got out of the car and opened the door for Xiaozhi. A little boy ran over and grabbed her hand. At a young age, his worried expression was very mature.
Xiaozhi smiled and touched the boy’s face, with love and satisfaction in his eyes, “Go thank you Uncle.”
“Thank you Uncle!”
The boy’s voice was crisp and sweet. Master Liu narrowed his eyes with a smile. When he leaned over to pat the boy’s shoulder, he secretly put the money back into the boy’s pocket.
A few people thanked them and walked into the hotel together.
Master Liu returned home sadly, ignoring his wife’s question of “Why aren’t they at work?”, hugging his wife and children and crying.
——————————
Master Liu sighed while speaking, and the car suddenly drove into an area without street lights.
Xiaolan looked around curiously, and saw no response from other people, so she didn’t say anything.
Although I don’t know who “she” is in Xiaozhi’s mouth, anyone who looks at Xiaozhi will feel sad.
The kind of life being a little bit away from a young body.
“In fact, if it weren’t for their crowds and a few big men in the middle, I wouldn’t recommend them to go to Lianshui Village,” Master Liu hesitated, but chose to say it, “The place in Lianshui Village… how do you say? …The folk customs are not very good. In the past few years, there have been more and more tourists in Fengwu, and few people go to Lianshui Village.”
The chief Taoist sat up straight after hearing this, “Why is the folkway bad?”
“Anyway…” Master Liu was hesitant to speak, and looked at the three people in the back row again. “Anyway, if you cross the mountain and enter the village, you two big men have to protect these two beautiful girls. “
Dao Chang looked back at Pineapple and Xiaolan, their expressions were a bit serious.
Although Xiaolan didn’t know what had happened, the dream on the bus made her unconsciously beware.
The short period of darkness passed, and the surroundings lit up again. Xiaolan looked out the window. Now they were on a winding mountain road, and they could already see the lights of the scenic spot at the foot of the mountain from a distance.
Xiaolan thought for a few seconds, then opened her mouth and said, “Brother, why were there no street lights on that section of the road just now?”
Master Liu burst out laughing, and said, “Little girl, my daughter is older than you, so you still call me eldest brother… What do you mean by street lights? Just driving all the way, the street lights are always on. How can it be on mountain roads? There are no street lights.”
Pineapple also looked at Xiaolan inexplicably.
“Did you fall asleep again?”
what?
“But… I heard you talk…”
Master Liu laughed dryly, “This little girl is so scary to talk.”
“I closed my eyes but my consciousness is still there,” Maple Sugar said hardly, “I often fall asleep like this.”
Xiaolan also began to doubt himself, maybe, it really is…
But just now, it was obvious that everything in front of me was going on normally, but the light suddenly dimmed.
It was as if the light suddenly dimmed, and it was as if everything in front of me was wrapped in a black veil.
What is this…
