In the countryside, streetlights are rarely installed, and it's pitch black all around, with only the sound of rain pattering down.
The headlights illuminated the road ahead, and in the vast darkness, they seemed almost unreal.
Fortunately, the dam was built very wide and not too rugged, so it was easy to drive through.
I don't know if it's because of the rain and the night, but it feels like the temperature has dropped, it's kind of cold.
Seeing that Ruan Mulan was holding something, Li Xun asked curiously, "What is this?"
Ruan Mulan: "It's a talisman my daughter gave me."
Thinking of Mingzhuo, her eyes gradually softened.
With her child back, her heart finally calmed down.
"When we get back, let's call a meeting to discuss the targeted donations to rural primary schools," Ruan Mulan said.
Li Xun nodded. Over the years, Chairman Ruan has been very enthusiastic about doing charity work. Every time she donated money, it amazed him. Most importantly, she really donated completely anonymously!
He admired his own noble character, which was characterized by not seeking fame or fortune.
The assistant, who overheard their conversation, was momentarily distracted, wondering what was going on. Why did it feel like the older woman was giving Mr. Li instructions?
Is it rumored in the company that General Manager Li wants to recruit Ruan Mulan as a research and development expert?
This isn't management; is it really necessary to follow someone else's orders even when it comes to things like donations?
When he came to his senses, he saw four or five elderly people walking side by side on the road ahead, and it looked like the car was about to hit them.
The assistant was terrified. "There's someone ahead!"
The driver was instantly terrified. He had been staring at the road ahead and hadn't seen anyone at all. It was as if those elderly people had suddenly appeared.
This is too dangerous. The car was so loud, and the old man seemed not to see it at all. He was slowly moving forward with his back to the car, without any intention of moving aside.
With the elderly person standing so close in the middle of the road, no matter which way the driver swerves, they might hit the person.
There happened to be a side road nearby, and the driver had a flash of inspiration: he could swerve the car there to avoid it!
He stepped on the brake and was about to turn the steering wheel when Ruan Mulan suddenly spoke.
Clutching the amulet, she couldn't see anyone, but noticed the driver's movements—it was too late!
"There's no one there!" she quickly pointed out. "The river is on the right!"
The driver felt as if those words had struck him like a heavy hammer.
There's a river on the right? Yes, there's a big river on the right, so where did the path come from?
Why did he even think of turning the car right?
In that brief moment of hesitation, the car had already sped straight toward the group of people in front of it.
The assistant was so scared that his heart jumped into his throat—oh my god, someone's going to die!
Wang Xiao, in the car behind, yelled, rolling down his window and shouting at the car in front, "Idiot! There's someone here! Turn right!!"
Bored driving in the dark, he kept an eye on the road and spotted the group of elderly people walking across the middle of the road from a distance.
I even cursed the old man, saying he was asking for it, but when I saw the car in front was about to crash into him, I was terrified.
The other passengers in the car also looked ahead, and sure enough, there were people! Are they crazy? Why aren't they turning the steering wheel to the side road to avoid them?!
The expected impact did not occur; the car in front simply drove past.
"What happened?" Wang Xiao asked, still shaken.
No one answered him; everyone was bewildered.
Then someone seemed to remember something and looked to the right, "Mr. Wang, there's no road to the right, just a big river..."
Wang Xiao frowned: "Impossible, I clearly saw it just now!"
He paused for a moment after saying that, then quickly looked out the window. The path he had seen earlier had disappeared... It really was a big river!
If they had turned right just now, the car would have plunged into the river, and everyone in the car would have died.
Wang Xiao broke out in a cold sweat; this was a ghost!
The driver of the car in front had sweaty palms; he almost made a serious mistake.
Having driven for so many years and encountered various situations, he immediately understood that he had encountered something unclean.
The car continued driving, and even the originally bright light from the headlights seemed to dim.
The assistant, who had never encountered anything like this before, asked in a low voice, "What was that just now? A ghost? Auntie, do you know something about this?"
Without realizing it, his tone became more respectful towards Ruan Mulan.
Although he had shown respect before, it was only because of Li Xun's attitude. This time it was different; he admired him from the bottom of his heart and felt that he had met a master.
Ruan Mulan: "I don't understand anything, I just feel very unsafe staying here."
She hadn't felt this restless unease for many years.
The assistant suddenly realized, "I see! That's why you insisted on traveling through the night!"
This was the first time Li Xun had witnessed such a miraculous event. After thinking for a moment, he said, "You still need to be more careful when driving in the countryside. Everyone should help watch the road."
After saying that, he suddenly noticed that lights seemed to have appeared on the roadside outside.
When he looked closely, he realized that beneath the greenish light were human faces.
Those people all had the same pale, stiff face, and were staring at them with a sinister gaze.
These are clearly not human beings; they are the ghosts that have been buried on the dam over the years!
The driver also noticed the ghosts popping up from the roadside.
This section of road is the darkest part of the dam, with a large river on the right and a bamboo forest on the left.
There were no houses nearby, and the surrounding area was pitch black; their car looked like two isolated islands.
Ruan Mulan: "Ignore them and keep driving forward."
