The rain is getting heavier and heavier. The rain in spring is not as fierce as in summer, but it is not as gentle as in winter. The key is that it lasts longer.
Miss Su, however, had no intention of leaving at all. She was still concentrating on painting.
Seeing that the rain was getting heavier and heavier, I finally couldn't bear it and said to her: "Miss Su, how long will it take for you to finish this painting?"
"There's still a while, just wait!" Her attention was not on the rain at all, so she didn't notice it at all.
I sighed: "I can wait, but it looks like the rain won't stop for a while! If it keeps raining, it will be difficult to get out the way we just came."
She then realized in hindsight: "Why is it so difficult to get out?"
"That road is too muddy. It's difficult to walk even if it doesn't rain. Once it rains, it will be even harder. Even if we are an SUV, it is not a hard-core off-road vehicle!"
She was silent for a while, as if she still didn't want to leave, and then said: "There is another road, which is a cement road, but it will take a detour, so you should be able to go, right?"
"are you sure?"
"Well, that road was built by my dad before, but it's a bit far, several kilometers longer than the road we just came from."
If that's the case, then I don't have to worry about it, and the cement road won't be afraid of rain.
I felt relieved and said to her: "Okay, you can continue painting. I'll go back and take a nap for a while. Just call me when you feel better."
She nodded and continued painting.
I don't know why she is so stubborn and insists on finishing it now, but she said there are other ways, so I won't say more.
After lying down in the back seat, listening to the raindrops falling densely on the roof of the car, it felt very comfortable, and I gradually fell asleep.
I don't know if I slept in the wrong position, but I actually had a terrible dream.
I dreamed that Miss Su turned into a ghost, and the village we were in was haunted, so the villagers moved away. Miss Su was the ghost in this village.
She deliberately led me here and then dedicated me to the other little ghosts in this ghost village.
Finally, I woke up with a fright.
When I woke up, I saw Miss Su's face in front of me.
Before I could recover from my dream, I suddenly saw her face and was so frightened that I screamed.
Miss Su asked me quickly: "What's wrong with you? Have you had a nightmare?"
I nodded, then quickly looked around at the surrounding environment, and then slowly returned to reality.
I sat up from my seat, rubbed my still groggy head, and asked, "How long have I been sleeping?"
"Two hours, I'm done painting, we can go back."
I nodded and returned to the cab. Even when I started the car, I just wanted to get out of this place quickly.
The rain was still falling, and under the guidance of Miss Su, I found the cement road.
As long as I can go back, no matter how far it is, I'm lucky not to be trapped here.
What's scary is that not long after driving out, we encountered a huge boulder blocking the road.
I took a look and found that the space left was simply not enough to pass, which meant we couldn't get through.
It was really bad now, and I had to go back to see if the road I was on could still be taken.
It took half an hour to go back and forth. When we returned to the road we came from, as I expected, the mud road completely turned into mud, and there was still a lot of rainwater accumulated in the potholes.
Even though the performance of the car we drove was good, there was nothing we could do on this kind of road surface.
What's more, this is still going down a mountain. Going down a mountain is more difficult than going up a mountain. If you don't pay attention to the tire slippage, it will be terrible!
I didn't dare to continue walking, I couldn't risk my life, and I didn't know if there would be a mudslide or something ahead.
If it goes too far, it won’t go up or down, and it’s really over!
Only then did Miss Su realize the danger, and she said to me: "Can I still leave?"
"It's possible, but it's too risky. Call for help, otherwise we'll be trapped here."
But what she said next made me completely confused.
She took out her mobile phone and said to me: "There is no signal here."
I was stunned and dumbfounded.
I thought to myself, how could there be no signal in this place with a village?
So I said to her again: "I'll move to another place and you can take a look again."
She nodded, and I found a place to turn around and returned to the village.
But I was still told that there was no signal. I didn't believe it, so I moved to a few places, but there was still no signal, and the phone showed no service.
The sky was getting darker. I looked at the time and it was already past six in the afternoon.
Looking at the fuel gauge in the car, I didn't dare to go any further. If I kept going in circles, I might run out of gas in the last bar.
I found a fairly spacious place and parked the car.
After turning off the engine, the whole world suddenly became quiet, leaving only the sound of dense raindrops on the roof of the car.
But this time what I felt was not comfort, but the uneasiness of being trapped.
Ever since I was stranded on that unknown island, I have been very afraid of this predicament, even though I knew that we would be able to go out after the rain cleared up.
But my mentality has changed. I started to become irritable, restless, had difficulty breathing, and kept twisting my neck.
Seeing me like this, Miss Su immediately said to me apologetically: "Mr. Chen, I'm sorry. If I had listened to you and left earlier, we wouldn't have been trapped. I'm sorry!"
Although I was angry, I wouldn't really lose my temper with a girl like her. I was already trapped, so I could only think of the good things.
I didn't want my bad mentality to affect her. After suppressing my emotions, I said to her: "It's okay. Don't think too much. You can leave when the rain stops."
"But it's getting dark now. I'm afraid I won't be able to go out tonight, right?"
I shrugged and said calmly: "If you can't get out, just sleep in the car. Your car is spacious enough. Then you can sleep in the back and put down the seats."
"I'm so sorry. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be stuck here with me."
It's funny to say that I was trapped with a woman again.
Although the situation was different from the last time I was trapped on the nameless island, I still shudder when I think about those ten days I was trapped on the nameless island, and then I feel scared.
I didn't want to think too much, so I took a long breath and said to her: "It's okay. Don't blame yourself. Let's think about the good things and don't be so pessimistic."
She was silent, maybe she still blamed herself.
I didn't want the atmosphere to be too anxious, so I took the initiative to ask her: "By the way, I don't know your name yet? Everyone calls you Miss Su. I don't like calling others Miss."
Only then did she come back to her senses from her anxiety and said to me, "My name is Su Yue."
I nodded and said, "Su Yue, we are trapped here now. Your father will be worried about you alone in the hospital, right?"
Su Yue shook her head and said: "He doesn't know that I'm here, and my uncle and the others are in the hospital."
I nodded and was about to speak when suddenly there was a "boom" of thunder.
This sudden thunder frightened Su Yue and rushed towards me. She was completely instinctive and I was unprepared. She just threw herself into my arms...
