Chapter 155: No Return (5)
Not long after the official person in charge left the villa where the replica program was filmed, he received a message from Yan Shixun.
Unlike the initial wild thoughts when seeing the unread message sent to Yan Shixun, the official person in charge now knows that Yan Shixun is a person who seldom looks at his mobile phone, and his dependence on electronic products is like that of a primitive man.
So, when he saw that Yan Shixun didn’t reply to him, he knew: Okay, Mr. Yan didn’t look at his phone again.
So he was not in a hurry, but just waited patiently and went to do his own thing.
——After all, I have been dealing with Taoist priests and masters for many years. Many of the ancestors who have lived in seclusion in the world don’t even know what a mobile phone is.
The official person in charge has begun to get used to this extremely divided situation where on one side the public opinion group is anxiously looking for him, while on the other side he is so slow that you don't know when he will reply to the message. It all depends on fate.
Official person in charge: I chose this job myself, and I live with a smile on my face :)
Today's incident of copying the program also served as a wake-up call to the authorities.
Because of the success of the "Heart-Stirring 99 Days Around the World" program, there will inevitably be many capitals and entertainment companies that want to take shortcuts and try to copy the program like an assembly line.
Therefore, the official specially released a dynamic and tagged the official of the program team, indicating that this is the only one officially recognized.
Anyone else who wants to copy... who are you?
Especially after this program was launched, which was intended to play tricks but unexpectedly encountered ghosts, it was severely criticized and educated by the authorities, and all programs of the same type were ruthlessly withdrawn.
Some entertainment companies were dissatisfied: "Why can Director Zhang Wubing shoot the film, but we can't? Market economy, fair competition, who will succeed should be decided by the market, not some misplaced intervention."
With the first one, there will be people who agree: "Yes, we are all competitors, either we should treat them equally, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the public."
The Binhai city officials remained unmoved, and the department head sneered in his heart: How dare you say that!
Director Zhang Wubing's program inspired everyone to go to Yelang Peak to plant trees after watching it. Going to Jiacun to travel boosts the economy, and his children have become glorious volunteers. The health benefits for young people are visible.
What's on your show?
Promoting unhealthy values? Playing tricks?
The department head did not show it on his face, and calmly asked back, "Who said that the program you and Director Zhang Wubing shoot are of the same type?"
"'Heart-beating Travel Around the World for 99 Days' is a domestic travel program that focuses on relaxation and sightseeing."
The department head said: "Your program is promoting superstition and creating bad topics."
Copy program:…………? ? ?
Perhaps the entertainment company seemed too shocked, so the department head paused and added: "It's just that Director Zhang Wubing is unlucky and always happens to run into bad people."
The entertainment company was shocked on the spot.
If they didn't dare to roll their eyes at the officials, they would have wanted to slam their heads on the table and ask if they were blind! What bad luck! What bad luck! They just happened to run into bad people!
But no matter how much the entertainment companies had to watch a blue ocean field being closed down right before their eyes, and how heartbroken they were over the loss of money, the attitude of Binhai City officials was very firm.
——This program is endorsed by Haiyun Temple and the government, and Director Zhang Wubing's starting point and results are always consistent, which brings good results. Mr. Yan Shixun's presence is also like a stabilizing force, allowing the program to run normally. Therefore, this program is trusted by the government and broadcast in cooperation.
Moreover, Taoist Master Li of Haiyun Temple had read out his fortune before entering into meditation, and he made it very clear that if this program continued to be broadcast, it would be completely beneficial and would not cause any harm. On the contrary, it could cure diseases before they occur and directly save many lives.
Just like if Guishan is not resolved in time, it will affect all the villages near Guishan. If the evil god ascends to the throne of Yelang Peak, Yelang Peak will be completely turned into a dead place, and the area within a radius of ten miles will lose vitality...
The authorities have seen all of this and are aware of it.
But other wild shows... hehe.
After submitting the report to the higher authorities, the official head prepared to return to the villa to take another look.
Master Ma’s words made him somewhat concerned.
After all, Jing Xiaobao has the appearance of an evil spirit in his bones. In the eyes of the Taoist masters in the circle, he is a danger that they are always wary of.
After learning from the official person in charge the entire process of Chi Yan raising the little ghost, the masters were horrified. They never expected that someone could actually be so cruel as to do such a thing.
They knew very well that if a fierce ghost like Jing Xiaobao got out of control, the consequences would be disastrous.
Many masters had originally clamored to completely eliminate Jing Xiaobao, to make him die of his soul so that he would no longer endanger the safety of ordinary citizens in Binhai City.
But because Yan Shixun took over Jing Xiaobao and suppressed him with his own body, and there was a behemoth like Haiyun Temple behind them, the masters gradually gave up the idea.
However, if Master Ma was not mistaken in sensing the situation in the villa, the dangers faced by those internet celebrities were really caused by Jing Xiaobao...
The official person in charge was somewhat shaken.
He was upset and unsure what he would choose if it really was Jing Xiaobao.
After all, his job here is to ensure the safety of ordinary people.
The purpose of his and the special department's existence is to build a safe wall between the people and danger.
But just when the official person in charge was hesitating, Yan Shixun's message came.
Yan Shixun: [My youngest son is naughty, I have already beaten him, don’t worry.]
[Also, I met a person who was asking for help on the road. He claimed that he had a car accident on the highway, but I calculated that he had killed someone. If you have time, please go check it out or contact local rescue.]
Yan Shixun roughly explained the place where they met the person seeking help and his situation.
As the official in charge watched, his expression darkened.
Although ordinary car accidents were not within his scope of responsibility, after working together for a period of time, the official person in charge was convinced of Yan Shixun's divination ability and trusted the results he gave.
And now Yan Shixun said that this person was responsible for a death, and the car accident was also strange...
The official person in charge acted decisively, dragged Taoist Master Ma, who had just walked out of the villa where the filming took place, into the car, and headed for the place Yan Shixun mentioned.
Taoist Priest Ma was confused: "Hmm? Where to?"
The person who has cooperated more closely with the special departments at Haiyun Temple this year is Taoist Master Song Yi.
Because Taoist Master Ma is good at formations, he has been cooperating with Binhai City officials on coastal barrier projects.
This time he came to work with the special department to solve the problem of copying the program because Taoist Song Yi was injured in the concession area and has not recovered yet, so he came to take over.
So even before the car started, Taoist Priest Ma still had a question mark on his face: "I have to go to a meeting with the authorities this afternoon..."
Official person in charge: "Mr. Yan said that he encountered a person carrying a life on the highway."
Taoist Priest Ma immediately changed his words: "I have asked for leave for the afternoon meeting."
Because the car accident did not fall within the scope of special department handling, the official person in charge could not call on public resources beyond his duties. Besides, the rescue team was still busy with other tasks, and the remaining few people were also in the villa to deal with the follow-up matters of the copy program.
So only the official person in charge and Master Ma set out for the highway that the program crew took.
Although it is late autumn, Binhai City is still sunny and cool.
Since typhoons and heavy rains no longer affect the city, this city with a profound history has ushered in a beautiful season.
The streets are filled with orange and yellow leaves, century-old trees stand tall and straight, and the sweet fragrance of golden osmanthus floats in the air.
But the two stopped after getting on the highway because of the good mood brought by the sunshine and scenery.
From a distance, the two saw the red and blue lights flashing in the cars in front. There were cordons set up around them, and many people in uniforms were carrying equipment boxes, squatting or standing, collecting evidence and detecting residual substances.
The official in charge, realizing that the situation was not right, quickly pulled over and ran away.
According to the map, this area should be the location of the car accident that Yan Shixun sent him.
But is it just a coincidence that there are so many specialized personnel gathered here?
The official in charge had a bad feeling in his heart.
After revealing his identity, he immediately asked the other party's person in charge what was going on here.
The team leader scratched his head in surprise: "Although I have heard of such a department for a long time, I always thought it was made up by someone for fun. I didn't expect it to really exist."
"But you guys are amazing, how did you do it so fast?"
The captain was curious: "We just received the call and rushed here, about ten minutes earlier than you. How come you got here right away after hearing the news? Did you calculate it?"
Because after receiving the call from the citizen, the other party just treated it as a normal traffic accident scene, so they didn't pay too much attention to it. The person in charge of the scene was only the captain of a small team.
The official person in charge was very clear about the specific matters of the special department and could not tell too many people, so he did not respond to the captain's question and just answered with a perfunctory "hmm". He then asked the captain about the situation here and how they knew about the car accident here.
According to the captain, a passing car owner noticed signs of a car accident here and made the call.
But when they arrived, they were confused by the scene.
——There must be a car at the scene of a car accident, right?
So, what about the car?
The scene was empty, with only long brake marks and fallen parts on the ground, as well as bloodstains scattered everywhere, proving that a car accident had indeed occurred here.
But both the car and the people disappeared from the scene.
The car owner who called first was also a little confused: "I, I don't know either. I clearly saw the car at first! The car rolled over several times on the road before hitting the railing. I got out of the car to help, but the car was too badly damaged and deformed. I was afraid that the fuel tank would leak and catch fire, so I didn't dare to get close, so I made the call."
The official in charge looked around.
There were indeed signs of gasoline leakage near the brake line on the road, just as the car owner who called had said. It seemed that the car that disappeared out of thin air was indeed seriously damaged.
When the official got out of the car, he saw parts and debris all over the ground, which should have been thrown off the car. In addition, there were some strange things that caught the official's attention.
He bent down and picked up... an eyeball from the gasoline.
The car owner who was making a phone call accidentally saw this scene and screamed in shock.
"This, this, can a car accident really grind away one's eyeballs?"
The car owner was speechless and everyone was stunned: "Fuck, this is too cruel! I have always driven safely in my life!"
Otherwise, your eyeballs might fall out, and that would be so painful!
He almost fainted just thinking about it.
The official responsible person did not respond to the car owner's question.
But the team members looked serious and noticed something was wrong.
The pupil of the eyeball has become dilated, and the surrounding flesh and blood has begun to oxidize. It seems that it has been away from the human body for some time.
But judging from the wounds around the eyeball, it was obviously not a normal trauma during the vehicle rollover, so it did not fall off accidentally.
Instead, it looks like... it was cut artificially.
The official in charge raised his eyeball, and under the horrified gaze of the team, he sniffed carefully with a serious face.
He smelled a strong odor of mutton.
Obviously, human tissue should not taste like lamb.
But combined with the neat wounds around the eyeballs and the rough muscle fibers caused by cutting back and forth on the cross section, they all indicate one thing -
The eyeballs were most likely dug out with a blunt knife that had been used to cut mutton.
The team's medical examiner came over and held out his hand to the official in charge: "Can you let me see it?"
Those present were people who dealt with the dead and injured all year round, and they knew very well that a simple car accident would never lead to such a thing. The amount of information contained behind an eyeball was huge and cruel to the point of shocking.
If that's really the case... then I'm afraid that in addition to the car accident and the bizarre disappearance of the scene, what they saw was also a vicious assault case, or...
Homicide.
The official in charge handed the eyeball held in a white glove to the forensic doctor, and the more experienced forensic doctor quickly realized: "When the eyeball was cut off, the person was still alive."
"Judging from the condition of the cornea and blood vessels, this person should be young, under 30 years old, but due to years of excessive eye use, he should be nearsighted."
Cutting eyeballs alive!
Everyone was shocked.
When they looked at the scene around them again, their mood had become somewhat heavy and serious.
If your eyeballs are cut off, you won't even be able to pass through a highway toll booth, as the staff there will notice something wrong.
This means that the person driving the vehicle at the time must be someone else, not the injured person.
For example, the perpetrator.
So the driver they wanted to save when the car accident happened turned out to be this kind of person...
This made the team members feel complicated for a while.
The car owner who was eavesdropping nearby also exclaimed "Oh shit!" and was secretly scared.
"This is too scary. I wanted to help, but I found out he's such a scary person."
The official in charge had followed the skid marks to the side of the road while others surveyed the accident scene.
Outside the highway is a drop of nearly ten meters, and below is the farmland of the nearby village.
The crash barriers and wire fences on the edge of the road had also been smashed to pieces.
It seems that the car owner who witnessed the car accident was right. The car accumulated a lot of potential energy during the roll, so the impact was stronger and more powerful than usual, and it directly broke through the wire fence that was originally a preventive measure, and then stopped when the two forces offset each other.
but……
The official in charge stepped on the crash barrier and leaned his head out to look down.
The wind in the fields still carried the smell of ashes from the burning farmyard. The black burnt ash blew over, causing the official in charge to frown.
The greening below is done very well. In order to prevent soil erosion, a lot of shrubs are planted on the slope of the highway facade, so the official person in charge cannot see the specific situation below through the layers of branches.
"You also think that the car must have crashed, right?"
The captain came over and said, "When we first arrived, we heard the car owner yelling that the car and the driver disappeared out of thin air, so we suspected this was the case. So we just made a phone call to see if the surveillance camera covers this place."
"But the surveillance line here was destroyed in the previous heavy rain, and this section of the road has not been repaired in time, so there is no way to watch the surveillance video to determine what happened."
The captain sighed: "When you came, I was just about to send someone down to check."
"Although it was such a serious car accident, and there was a ten-meter drop, falling down like this would definitely kill you. But what if?"
The captain shrugged: "What if there is a miracle?"
Although now that the eyeball has been found, the captain feels a little uncomfortable knowing that the driver they want to rescue may be the perpetrator.
But after all, that's the responsibility.
He hates some people's actions of hurting others, but he will also do his best to ensure their safety.
"Sometimes I don't know what kind of scumbags are protected by human rights." The captain muttered, then turned around and asked the team members to get ready.
But the official officials do not think so.
He looked at Taoist Master Ma next to him: "Master, can you calculate whether the owner of this eyeball is dead or alive? And the driver?"
Taoist Priest Ma shook his head slowly, his face gloomy: "...I'm sorry."
The official in charge understood.
The owner of that eyeball... is dead.
What they saw was the aftermath of a murder.
Unlike the captain who would try to use science to explain what he saw, the official person in charge knew very well that there are some things in the world that cannot be explained by existing science.
Therefore, the official in charge did not hold out hope of finding the vehicle under the road, but instead thought of another possibility.
——There are ghosts haunting here.
The results calculated by Taoist Master Ma further deepened the official's thoughts.
Besides...
The official in charge remembered why they were here.
It was Yan Shixun who said there was a car accident here and a strange person asking for help.
At that time, Yan Shixun said something - the driver of their car suddenly saw an overturned car in front of him.
It was just such a coincidence that they were at the scene of the accident and did not see any car or people.
Or a corpse.
All that can tell the truth is an eyeball.
The forensic doctor has taken samples of the eyeballs and is preparing to compare them with samples in the database, hoping to determine who the victim is in this way.
The person's eyeballs were gouged out while he was still alive, and he even watched helplessly as the tip of the knife approached his eyeball inch by inch. The fear and pain that came with waiting for death...
Even the forensic doctor who had witnessed too many deaths felt a little reluctant.
The official head frowned and thought, repeatedly recalling what Yan Shixun had told him.
Cars were speeding past on the highway. After seeing the car accident here, everyone consciously sped up so as not to cause congestion.
People are in a noisy environment all year round and are so familiar with the sound of vehicles that they often ignore it.
After the official person in charge called Yan Shixun but the call did not go through, his brain, which had been thinking hard, suddenly had a flash of inspiration and he caught the sound of the horn of the car next to him.
A sound that is different from the ambient noise finally catches the brain's attention.
The official in charge seemed to realize something, and with his phone still in hand, he quickly turned around and grabbed the car owner's arm and asked, "Are there always a lot of cars on this road?"
The car owner nodded and said, "This road is the only way from Binhai City to a nearby county town, so many people who want to go back to their hometown in the county town or go to Binhai City will take this road."
The owner pointed to his car and indicated to the official in charge the sacks piled on his back seat: "Yes, that's me. I bought some things and went home to see my dad."
After hearing this, the official did not continue to ask questions. Instead, he stared at the road and carefully counted the number of passing vehicles.
In the short minute he counted, more than a dozen cars had passed by.
Even compared with the daily traffic jams in Binhai City, where traffic moves three meters an hour, this amount of traffic is just a drizzle and not worth mentioning, but it still stunned the official responsible.
He remembers it very clearly.
Yan Shixun said that one of the reasons they stopped the car to check on the person who asked for help was because there were no vehicles passing on that road.
If they hadn't happened to pass by, the person in need of help would probably have never found anyone to turn to.
According to Yan Shixun's account, the place where the car accident happened was a deserted place.
But what he saw was quite lively.
There are more than ten cars per minute, even if the time points are different, it will definitely not reach the situation that Yan Shixun said.
The official person in charge trusted Yan Shixun very much and did not think that Yan Shixun had deceived him - there was no need for that.
He wanted to verify this matter with Yan Shixun, but Yan Shixun still didn't answer the phone or read the messages.
The official person in charge edited the information he had learned so far and sent it to Yan Shixun.
He was just about to ask Master Ma something when the corner of his eye suddenly and casually glanced at the owner's car parked nearby.
Car...dashcam!
The official in charge immediately asked in surprise: "Do you have a dashcam installed in your car?"
If we can find the surveillance footage of the incident, perhaps we can find out why the car disappeared out of thin air and how the accident happened.
The car owner also clapped his hands: "Yes! Yes, yes, of course! Nowadays, who wouldn't install a dashcam if they dare to get out of the car to help? What if someone blames me?"
Just at this moment, the captain also received a call and walked over here.
“Because I couldn’t find any surveillance footage for this stretch of road, I applied for surveillance footage from the toll booth to see the identity of the driver of the car.”
The captain said, "Although this car was using automatic payment, the surveillance camera still captured a flash of his face. They have sent the surveillance video to me. Do you want to take a look at it together?"
Official person in charge: "It just so happens that the car owner's dashcam should have also recorded the scene of the accident. Let's go together."
Taoist Priest Ma did not participate in their actions. Instead, he kept his head down and carefully kicked away the debris on the road with the toe of his cloth shoes, trying to see if there was any other evidence.
For example, are there any eyeballs or something like that?
Although the facts are unbearable, what is more important now is the evidence.
Taoist Priest Ma's divination ability is considered poor among Taoist priests of the same level, and he is often scolded by senior Taoist priests, who say that he should go back to school with Lu Xingxing.
He could not make a divination based on the weather, location, or even what he saw when he looked up, as Yan Shixun did. His communication with heaven and earth depended on the ritual of divination and precise calculations.
And if he can find more information related to the person involved, he can then cast the hexagram more accurately and calculate the person's current location and situation.
"Um?"
A flash of light flashed in the sunlight, dazzling the unsuspecting Taoist Master Ma, who turned his head subconsciously.
When he looked again, Master Ma could see clearly that it was a piece of plastic covered with a film that reflected the rainbow luster, which was reflecting light in the fallen parts of the car.
Taoist Priest Ma looked up at the bright and clear sun, and felt that this was God's will. If it weren't for the sunlight, he wouldn't have discovered it.
He walked over, squatted, and carefully picked out the piece of plastic from the debris.
This should be cut from a large piece of plastic, and the irregular burrs on the edge are a bit prickly. If you smell it carefully, you can also smell the smell of sheep and blood.
Judging from the remaining regular edges, the original width of the plastic sheet should be nearly five centimeters.
This is also the most popular size for all types of cards.
Taoist Priest Ma carefully wiped off the gasoline and dust on the plastic strip with a corner of his Taoist robe, revealing the words hidden underneath.
The pattern at the top looked very familiar to Taoist Master Ma.
It is the school emblem of Binhai University.
…
When Yan Shixun carried Jing Xiaobao to the front of the car and beat him, everyone watched and pretended that they saw or heard nothing.
The audience before the live broadcast were a little confused, but they just thought that the child might be disobedient, so Yan Shixun stepped in to educate him.
Some people also recognized Jing Xiaobao, knowing that he was the little actor who appeared in a previous film with director Li Xuetang.
One audience member lamented: [I didn’t expect that even though he was already a child star and financially independent, he still couldn’t escape a beating.]
[Hi, your dad will always be your dad.]
[In front of Brother Yan, let alone a child, even a strong man would cry. It’s so funny, I can’t even be strong.]
[Ahem… I’m a little embarrassed to post this comment. I just cursed Brother Yan. After listening to what Brother Yan said, I realized that I might have been wrong. I blamed Brother Yan wrongly. I’m really sorry.]
[So, I just reminded you, be careful not to get your face swollen.]
Jing Xiaobao's begging for mercy and pitiful crying spread all the way from the front row to the back row.
Bai Shuang still couldn't bear it, so she pleaded, "Brother Yan, Xiao Bao didn't do it on purpose, he should know he was wrong now."
Jing Xiaobao looked up with tears in his eyes and looked at the older sister who spoke for him.
At this moment, he felt that this was the most beautiful sister besides his mother.
Jing Xiaobao: There are still good people in this world! Woohoo, but that definitely does not include Yan Shixun and the person who complained.
His little butt...is swollen like a peach.
If someone else attacks Jing Xiaobao, let alone hurting him, it would be difficult even to touch him.
But unfortunately, Yan Shixun and Jing Xiaobao are simply incompatible with each other in terms of their nature.
Especially since Yan Shixun has lived many more years than Jing Xiaobao, the attitude of heaven and earth towards the two is completely different.
Humans are the most intelligent creatures in the world and are favored by the Tao.
As for the dead Jing Xiaobao, even though he had stayed in the human world as a ghost for decades, strictly speaking he was quite old, but after all, he was a human being, not a ghost, and could not be favored by the great Dao.
It can be said that after Dadao realized that Jing Xiaobao was unable to complete the task as the evil ghost, he had abandoned him.
He is not included in the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams.
But Yan Shixun was different.
The power he achieved was simply unimaginable in this era.
Even in Haiyun Temple, which is full of geniuses, there has been no figure who can be compared with Yan Shixun in the records of hundreds of years.
If Yan Shixun's master Li Chengyun were still alive and continued to practice, he might be able to be together with the current Yan Shixun.
But unfortunately...
Yan Shixun raised his hand slowly, tidied his slightly messy clothes, lowered his eyes and looked at the crying Jing Xiaobao with a sneer.
"If I find you releasing ghosts to harm people again, I will send you away. Fengdu Prison may be more suitable for you."
Yan Shixun snorted coldly, his voice gloomy: "Don't think I'm the kind of person who would scare a child with a tiger. I mean what I say."
Upon hearing this, Ye Li turned his head and looked over, his eyes seemed to be asking: Do you need my help?
Yan Shixun was puzzled: I'm talking about Fengdu Kulao, how can you help?
However, he once again felt that although Ye Li was somewhat dangerous due to his powerful strength, he did not have any bad intentions towards him.
He had clearly seen Ye Li being able to get gods to respond and borrow divine power, so he thought that the person Ye Li could communicate with should be a god. But when he mentioned Fengdu, Ye Li was still willing to help.
——It shouldn’t have been easy.
It is true that Yan Shixun is a cold person. But he does not easily make connections with others, which does not mean that he does not value feelings.
On the contrary, precisely because there are so few people he cherishes, he especially cherishes the cause and effect with them.
For example, Li Chengyun.
For example, Zhang Wubing.
From the fact that Yan Shixun has been protecting Zhang Wubing for several years and has never rejected Zhang Wubing even when he was impatient, we can tell that he is a person who values emotions.
It’s a pity that after Li Chengyun passed away, Yan Shixun became more and more indifferent, and kept to himself like a lone wolf.
After all, although Zhang Wubing sincerely wanted to make friends with Yan Shixun and regarded Yan Shixun as his best friend - no, his father, Zhang Wubing was not a professional after all, and he had no common topics with Yan Shixun on many things and could not discuss them.
So, after all, she was not good enough and could not be considered as someone Yan Shixun cherished from the bottom of his heart.
Until Yan Shixun met Ye Li.
Although he first noticed Ye Li because he thought Ye Li was too dangerous, he let Ye Li stay with him so that he could suppress the situation personally. If any unexpected situation occurred, he could resolve it in time.
But as they got along, Yan Shixun was able to increasingly feel the compatibility between him and Ye Li.
Many times, he didn't even need to say anything. As soon as he thought about it, Ye Li had already done what he wanted Ye Li to help with, and Ye Li even did more.
And the conversation between him and Ye Li was completely smooth, perhaps because Ye Li himself was the founder of the sect.
Even though he didn't fully trust Ye Li yet, Yan Shixun sometimes felt that this was the most comfortable time he had spent since his master left.
That sense of harmony deep in the soul always surprised Yan Shixun.
And Ye Li's initiative to help made Yan Shixun feel better for some reason.
——If Ye Li has no ill will towards the human world, then it seems not bad to have such a friend around.
Yan Shixun thought so.
The atmosphere between the two was very good, only Jing Xiaobao was still covering his butt and crying, looking so pitiful.
Yan Shixun sat back in his seat as if nothing had happened.
The female guest, who had just been dissatisfied with Yan Shixun, was stunned by Yan Shixun's act of beating the child, and shrank in the corner in fear.
The other guests knew Jing Xiaobao's true identity, but they were too lazy to explain it to the female guest.
The female guest's behavior just now has already made all the guests unhappy.
——Who among them has not been saved by Yan Shixun?
That was a life-saving favor, and besides, Brother Yan did nothing wrong, so the female guest who provoked the dispute naturally made the other guests feel resentful.
Yan Shixun didn't take this change to heart.
He turned his head to look out the car window, only to find that the sky outside had become darker.
The sun disappeared in the sky early, dark clouds pressed down, and faint thunder could be heard in the distance.
The wind was howling in the wilderness, and the leaves and branches were trembling like ghosts. The trees were blown violently to tilt, as if they would be uprooted at any moment.
Sand and stones hit the car body, and the tiny sound made people feel uneasy.
It's like a small boat sailing on the rough sea. A wave can come at any time and overturn your temporary safety.
Yan Shixun frowned slightly.
It's getting dark so early? It shouldn't be like that.
Although it is almost the beginning of winter and it is getting dark earlier and earlier, it is still a little too fast for it to be this dark now.
Moreover, Yan Shixun remembered clearly that when he just got off the car, it was not completely dark outside yet, and even though it was gloomy, he could still see the scenery on both sides clearly.
But now, it is completely invisible.
The dark beast opened its mouth and swallowed up the world.
Because of the lights inside the car, only Yan Shixun's face was reflected on the car window glass, and the specific situation outside could not be seen clearly.
The driver had already turned on the headlights.
But just as Yan Shixun frowned in thought, the driver spoke tremblingly: "Yan, Mr. Yan."
Yan Shixun turned and looked at the driver.
The driver swallowed and cried, "I, I don't know. I really don't know."
Yan Shixun's forehead jumped: "What's wrong?"
The driver raised his hand tremblingly and pointed forward: "I just passed this sign once, but it appears again now!"
It is a sign indicating distance on the highway. It reflects the light under the headlights and you can clearly see the mileage.
Logically speaking, the mileage will change as the car travels. Even if you can see many signs on the highway, there is only one for the same distance.
Yan Shixun was shocked: "Why didn't you say so earlier?"
The driver was terrified: "I should have seen it two or three times, but I thought it was my eyes playing tricks on me! After all, on this kind of road with little change in scenery and no passing cars, it's easy to get visual fatigue, so I didn't pay much attention..."
Before the driver could finish his words, a figure suddenly appeared on the road ahead illuminated by the car lights.
The man stood with his head bowed, not saying a word.
Just like the driver said before.
And now, Yan Shixun also saw it.
The driver screamed and subconsciously stepped on the brakes out of muscle memory.
But because the car was in too much haste, or perhaps the tire hit a rock, the car body began to shake violently.
Then, he rolled to the side.
There was a scream of fear in the car.
