The driver wanted to give up, but when he saw the woman sitting in the back of the car, leaning on the window to help find the route, he didn't dare to speak.
It has been a day and a night since we got on the bus in Lincheng.
They didn't say anything except the route.
However, the driver could feel that she must love her husband very much.
It is not necessary to go to the place where the incident occurred.
And it's like a moth to a flame.
The driver couldn't help but think: If he had been so determined back then, perhaps he would have been able to see his wife, even if she was a cold corpse...
So, he also wanted to hold on a little longer.
Finally, they walked into a local farmer's yard, and an old man who was born and raised there showed them a way.
The old man said, "That road hasn't been used for years. I don't know if you can still drive in. But if you really want to go into the city, you can try it. Just go in through the dirt road behind my house..."
According to what the old man said.
This road is easy to find.
A straight road.
However, it is necessary to pass through the mountainous and deep forests bordering the capital of Country A.
A little dangerous.
The further the car drives in, the narrower the road becomes.
There is not even a road behind.
Everywhere you look, there are only trees and vines.
Because no one has trimmed the trees, they have grown thick and strong.
It was impossible to drive further in. Furthermore, the further we went into the mountains, the heavier the rain and snow became. It was uncertain what lay ahead. Finally, the driver spoke up, "Why don't you come back to Lincheng with me? We can find a hotel to stay in and patiently wait for the government's announcement to lift the lockdown. After all, this is the capital, and even a serious accident wouldn't keep it closed for long. Then, book a high-speed rail ticket and we'll be in the capital in a few hours."
When looking back through the rearview mirror, the driver saw Ji Yuqi completely immersed in the light cast from the roof of the car.
Cheeks, pale.
Expression, but unclear.
She sat there stiffly, like a puppet without any consciousness.
I don’t know if I didn’t hear what he said.
The driver originally wanted to say something again, but Ji Yuqi suddenly made a move.
She unlocked the car door with one hand and asked softly, "Let me transfer the fare to you. Thank you very much for your care along the way."
The driver didn't quite understand her subtext.
But he still had to charge for the conversation.
After clicking on the QR code for the fee on his phone, he turned to look at Ji Yuqi and asked, "What are your plans next?!"
Ji Yuqi lowered his eyebrows and said, "There are too many trees. Since the car can't drive through, I'll go there on foot."
When the driver heard this, his eyes widened in shock. "You're going to walk over there?! Do you know what you're saying?! Don't you want to live anymore?!"
Although there are no dangerous birds and beasts in this mountain forest, it is completely different from the remote path we took along the way.
This is a deep mountain forest that has long been restored to its original state.
Moreover, it was raining and snowing.
"It takes six hours to drive through this forest, and we've only been driving for two hours. How can you get out on foot?!" the driver asked again.
Ji Yuqi remained silent.
After she transferred the money to the driver, she opened the car door and got out.
The driver tried to stop it.
Ji Yuqi said, "I don't dare to stop at all, because if I don't do something, I will feel so uncomfortable that I will die."
Ji Yuqi resolutely entered the forest.
This mountain forest is actually not very big, after all, it is located between cities.
Moreover, she always remembered the old man's words: a straight road.
However, she still got lost.
I don’t know where I’m stuck.
Where should I go?
The rain and snow rolling down the sky are like a natural barrier that traps people.
At first, Ji Yuqi could force himself to remain calm.
It was not until she had searched for the road for a long time and found that she seemed to be deviating further and further from the old road that she became completely panicked.
Like a frightened deer, he looked everywhere for the stone pillar signposts standing on both sides of the old road. He didn't know whether he didn't see them because the light was too dim or he was completely dizzy. As he ran hurriedly, he was suddenly scratched on the cheek by something.
Before the sharp pain spread, boiling liquid was already rolling down rapidly.
Ji Yuqi raised his hand and wiped it.
In the dim light of dawn, I found that my palms were covered in glaring blood.
I dare not stop at all.
She was afraid that if she stopped, she would never be able to get out again.
Ji Yuqi kept walking forward.
But the further we walked, the bigger the trees became, the taller the weeds became, and the denser the vines became.
When she was completely submerged in the deep forest, she stopped and looked around in panic, crying aggrievedly: Pei Yucheng, can't I find you...
