Chapter 285 Dead Man
's Bay There are few street lights installed on the country roads. It was pitch black all around, and only the rustling sound of rain could be heard.
The headlights of the car illuminated the road ahead, which seemed a little unreal in the vast night.
Fortunately, this dam was built very wide and not too bumpy, so it was still easy to drive.
I don't know if it was because of the rain and the night, but it felt like the temperature had dropped, and it was quite cold.
Li Xun saw that Ruan Mulan was holding something in her hand, and was a little curious, "What is this?"
Ruan Mulan: "The amulet my daughter gave me."
Thinking of Mingzhuo, her eyes gradually became gentle.
The child was back, and her heart finally calmed down.
"When we get back, call a meeting to discuss the matter of targeted donations to rural primary schools." Ruan Mulan said.
Li Xun nodded. In recent years, Director Ruan has been very keen on doing charity. He was always surprised by the amount of money she donated. The most important thing was that she really donated completely anonymously!
She was not seeking fame or profit. He could not compare to her.
The assistant was distracted when he heard the conversation between the two. He wondered what was going on. Why did he feel that the old lady was giving Director Li instructions?
Wasn't it rumored in the company that Director Li wanted to recruit Ruan Mulan as a research and development expert?
This was not the management level. Was it necessary to obey their orders even for donations?
When he came to his senses, he saw four or five elderly people walking side by side on the road ahead, and the car was about to hit them.
The assistant was so scared that his soul was about to die, "There are people in front!"
The driver also broke out in a cold sweat instantly. He had been staring at the road ahead and didn't notice anyone at all. It was as if those old people suddenly appeared.
This was too dangerous. Moreover, the car was so loud and noisy, but the old man seemed not to see it. He turned his back to the car and moved forward slowly. He didn't have any intention of avoiding to the side.
It was so close, and the old man was standing in the middle of the road. No matter where the driver avoided, he might hit someone.
There happened to be a small road next to it. The driver suddenly had an idea and could drive the car to that side to avoid it!
He stepped on the brake and was about to turn the steering wheel, but Ruan Mulan suddenly spoke.
She held the amulet and couldn't see anyone. Instead, she noticed the driver's actions, but it was too late!
"Where are the people?" she reminded quickly, "There's a river on the right!"
The driver felt like this sentence was like a heavy hammer hitting his heart.
There's a river on the right? Yes, there's a big river on the right, so where does the small road come from?
Why did he think of turning the car right just now?
In just a moment of distraction, the car had already rushed straight towards the people in front.
The assistant was so scared that his heart was in his throat - Oh my God, someone is going to die!
Wang Xiao in the car behind had already screamed, lowered the window and shouted at the car in front, "Stupid! There are people! Turn right!!"
Driving in the dark was boring, he kept staring at the road conditions, so he saw the group of old people walking across the middle of the road from a long distance away.
At that time, he even cursed the old man for asking for death. Seeing that the car in front was really about to hit him, he was also shocked.
The other people in the car also looked forward. There was really someone! Is he crazy? Why didn't he turn the steering wheel to avoid the side road?
The expected collision sound did not sound, and the car in front just drove past.
"What's going on?" Wang Xiao asked in shock.
No one answered him, and everyone was stunned.
Until someone seemed to remember something and looked to the right, "Mr. Wang, there is no road on the right, there is a big river on the right..."
Wang Xiao frowned: "Impossible, I just saw it!"
After he said that, he was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly looked out the window. The small road he saw before disappeared... It really is a big river!
If he had turned right just now, the car would have fallen into the river, and everyone in the car would have died.
Wang Xiao was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. What the hell is this!!!
The driver of the car in front of him was also sweating in his palms. He almost made a big mistake.
He had been driving for so many years and had encountered some things before. He immediately understood that this was something dirty.
The car continued to drive, as if even the bright light of the headlights had become dim.
It was the first time for the assistant to encounter such a thing. He whispered: "What was that just now? Was it a ghost? Auntie, do you know something?"
He unconsciously showed some respect for Ruan Mulan in his tone.
Although he was respectful before, it was all because of Li Xun's attitude. This time was different. He admired her from the bottom of his heart and felt that he had met a master.
Ruan Mulan: "I don't understand anything, I just feel it's unsafe to stay here."
She hasn't felt this kind of restlessness for many years.
The assistant suddenly realized: "So that's why! That's why you insisted on leaving overnight!"
It was also the first time that Li Xun saw such a magical event. He thought for a while and said, "You still have to be more careful when driving in the countryside. Everyone, please help watch the road."
After saying this, he suddenly found that there seemed to be a light on the roadside outside.
When he looked carefully, he found that under the green light, there were faces.
Those people were all pale and stiff, and they were looking at them dimly.
These were obviously not people, but the ghosts buried on the dam over the years!
The driver also noticed that ghosts appeared one after another on the roadside.
This section of the road is the darkest section of the dam, with a river on the right and a bamboo forest on the left.
There were no houses nearby, and the surroundings were pitch black. Only their cars looked like two isolated islands.
Ruan Mulan said, "Ignore them, just keep driving forward."
She gradually remembered that this was the famous "Bay of the Dead" in the surrounding area.
Because the river here is deep and there are no people living nearby, many people drown every year.
The villagers would also place the coffins of those who drowned here on the dam. In the past few decades, at least dozens of coffins were parked on this dam.
It was gloomy during the day, and no one dared to approach this area at night.
Now that the coffins have been cleared away, who would have thought that these ghosts are still guarding here, as if they were summoned from the underworld.
Ruan Mulan took out several other amulets on her body. These were obtained by Ruan Mingying from the temple, and they should be of some use.
She distributed these amulets to Li Xun, the assistant, and the driver.
The assistant was frightened by the gazes outside the car window, and when he saw the amulets, he stuck them on the car window without hesitation.
The amulets blessed by the monks emitted a faint glow in the dark night, and the ghosts that were following closely and almost sticking to the car windows were frightened, stopped for a moment, and then their eyes changed.
The assistant saw it and thought to himself that it was not good, this was completely enraged!
"Auntie, the amulet doesn't work!" He was about to cry.
Ruan Mulan quickly handed him Mingzhuo's amulet, "Use this!"
The assistant stuck the amulet on the car window, and several ghost hands that reached out to the car window suddenly hissed and burned, and soon the ghosts disappeared with wailing.
This move frightened the ghosts. Fearing that the people on the car had other tricks, they dared not to climb onto the car, and only dared to stay far behind.
"Is that a bridge over there?" Li Xun stared out the car window and suddenly said.
