Outside the car window, illuminated by the headlights, there was a mountain road full of potholes and weeds.
There are bushes and tall trees all around, giving people the feeling that a beast will jump out from inside at any time.
Gu Yanan quickly looked at Wei Zhengxian and asked in confusion: "Zheng... Zhengxian, how... why did you drive here?"
Wei Zhengxian also looked very annoyed: "I drove according to the map on my mobile phone. According to what the uncle just said, we should have reached the nearest village long ago!"
"This map is unreliable!"
It's very difficult to drive on this mountain road right now. Besides, I'm completely disoriented and don't know which way is the right way to drive.
Gu Yanan's previous statement that the two of them spent the night in the car was a joke after all. In this situation, it is very possible for a wild wolf to jump out! She doesn't want to spend a night in a place like this!
There was not even the moon visible in the sky at this time, and except for the car lights, there was no light at all.
My mobile phone has no signal, so I can no longer check the route.
Gu Yanan said in annoyance: "How about... try changing the direction?"
"That's all."
Wei Zhengxian continued to start the car.
As the car continued to drive on the mountain road, Wei Zhengxian suddenly saw a lake appearing in front of him.
So he started turning the steering wheel.
Something strange happened at this time.
While the steering wheel is turning, the car is still facing straight ahead!
He quickly stepped on the brakes!
But when the brakes were pressed to the end, the car didn't slow down at all, not to mention stopping!
"Zhengxian! Stop the car! Stop the car quickly!" Gu Yanan was so frightened that her face turned pale. If she drove on, the car would plunge into the lake!
"The brakes are not responding!"
Wei Zhengxian didn't know why this happened, but there was no time to think about it now!
Fortunately, because the mountain road was difficult to drive, he did not adjust the speed of the car too fast. He immediately shouted: "Quick! Yanan! Unlock the steering wheel! Jump out of the car!"
He still tried to apply the brakes and turn the steering wheel, but to no avail!
Gu Yanan was also very decisive, no longer hesitating, and quickly unbuckled his seat belt with Wei Zhengxian. The two opened the car door almost at the same time and jumped out immediately!
The body plunged into the muddy ground full of weeds. Soon, a loud noise was heard. The car had plummeted into the lake, and then sank rapidly.
"Yanan!"
Wei Zhengxian, who had several scratches on his face, propped up his body and quickly ran to Gu Yanan's side to help her up.
Gu Yanan's hair was disheveled, his face was covered with mud and weeds, and he felt pain all over his body, especially his waist and knees. Fortunately, there were no sharp shrubs on the ground, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
"Judging from the map... there shouldn't be a lake in this area..." Gu Yanan looked at the car that had completely fallen into the lake, feeling extremely sad. All their luggage was in the trunk of the car!
The only good thing is that now is the era of mobile payment. There is very little cash that needs to be carried, and it is always carried with you.
"Yanan...are you injured anywhere on your body? Let me take a look..."
"No, it's okay...I'm fine..."
Fortunately, the speed of the car was not very fast and Wei Zhengxian drove relatively steadily. Otherwise, I don't know how much injuries he would have suffered from this jump.
Wei Zhengxian helped the limping Gu Yanan walk, and when he reached a slightly brighter place, he said to Gu Yanan, "Let me see where the injuries are."
"My waist... my waist hurts..."
"Let me see……"
Gu Yanan lifted up his shirt and Wei Zhengxian immediately checked...
At this time, there was a large blood stasis on the waist and several abrasions.
The problem is that there is no medicine, not even a band-aid! All the medicines and bandages that I carried just in case have sunk to the bottom of the lake!
"Zhengxian, fortunately your car is insured..." Gu Yanan smiled happily: "At least the damage will not be too big..."
Wei Zhengxian took off his shirt, then tore it open and bandaged Gu Yanan's wound. The wound must not be infected now, otherwise the hospital would not even be able to find him.
In addition, I checked the knee and found that it was only bruised and there were no open wounds. However, the pain was severe and it was difficult for Gu Yanan to walk.
"I'll carry you! Let's look for someone else..." Wei Zhengxian looked at his girlfriend with a distressed expression: "I have to find a way to treat all your wounds, and I have to go to the hospital to see if there are any fractures."
"Zhengxian, are you...are your injuries okay?"
"I'm a big man with rough skin and thick flesh. It doesn't matter even if I leave some scars!" Wei Zhengxian didn't give Gu Yanan a chance to refuse, so he forcibly carried her on his back!
"Zhengxian, I, I can leave..."
"How can I, a man, let my girlfriend limp and walk beside me?" Wei Zhengxian gritted his teeth and moved forward: "Let's go back to the highway first and at least find a place where there is a signal for mobile phones!"
"Zhengxian, I'm sorry... I decided on that car because I liked you. Your mother would definitely scold me if she knew about this..."
"How can I blame you? It's the car itself's problem! I will definitely file a lawsuit to claim compensation when I get back!"
"Then I'm afraid we have to wait until the car is salvaged..."
But Gu Yanan also found it very puzzling. The steering wheel failed, the brakes failed, and there happened to be a lake in front of it. Where did it come from such a coincidence? This car is still the latest model this year. She checked it online and the user praise rate is very high. All the way.
It’s totally fine to drive it down!
Why does it suddenly fail here?
In this way, Wei Zhengxian carried Gu Yanan on his back for about half an hour. In the end, his physical strength could no longer support him.
"what happened……"
Wei Zhengxian began to feel that this was outrageous! Along the way, he remembered the route he traveled very clearly!
how……
Why is he walking back the way he came and getting lost? Did he remember the wrong route?
Moreover, Wei Zhengxian felt as if he was trying to beat a wall, as if he had gone around in a circle and returned to the original place!
At this time, Wei Zhengxian and Gu Yanan were both tired and hungry.
Gu Yanan took out a pack of chewing gum, which was the only "ration" she had on her body.
She took out a piece of chewing gum and handed it to Wei Zhengxian, saying: "It's better than nothing, just chew it. I have some too. Just don't say that you won't eat it and let me eat it like in the TV series."
"You can't eat this..." Wei Zhengxian said, taking the chewing gum, looking at his girlfriend dotingly, and said: "Don't worry, I will find a way to prevent the two of us from spending a night in the wilderness.
.”
"If that doesn't work, let's make a fire and take turns sleeping?"
"You can't light a fire, otherwise you'll be in trouble if you attract gangsters." That's what Wei Zhengxian said, but Wei Zhengxian did feel that it was quite cold here at night.
He took off his shirt and put it on Gu Yanan's body.
"Yanan, let's take a rest first, and then we'll look for any villages nearby."
"That's all we have to do..."
After resting for a while, Wei Zhengxian continued to carry Gu Yanan on his back and started to move forward. Although Gu Yanan repeatedly said that he could leave, Wei Zhengxian insisted on carrying her.
"Zhengxian..."
"Um?"
"I'll buy you a car next time. You choose the model. It doesn't matter what kind of car it is."
"Yanan, the insurance company will pay..."
"That's not what I meant, Zhengxian." Gu Yanan hugged Wei Zhengxian tighter, "I want to do as much as possible for you. You come from a family of civil servants, and you can usually talk to senior county officials... I know
, your parents actually always wanted you to marry a civil servant..."
Gu Yanan has always had a low self-esteem in front of Wei Zhengxian. She is considered a village beauty in her own village, but she is far inferior to those girls in the county who are good at dressing up, not to mention Wei Zhengxian's conditions. Before Gu Yanan entered the county, he had seen the biggest official
That is, the village party secretary.
"I don't need you to do anything for me, as long as you stay by my side."
Wei Zhengxian pulled Gu Yanan's body upwards and said, "As long as you stay by my side, that's enough for me."
As we walked...the trees around us gradually became sparse.
Wei Zhengxian suddenly saw that a concrete road that was obviously man-made began to appear in the distance!
"Yanan! There is a family nearby!"
"Great!" Gu Yanan breathed a sigh of relief. Now, he no longer had to worry about living in the wilderness at night.
After walking along the cement road for a while, finally, some houses appeared in front of us.
"That's great...huh?"
As they got closer, the expressions of Wei Zhengxian and Gu Yanan began to change slightly.
They saw that in the yard of every house, there was a sheepfold!
There are two or three goats in the sheepfold.
"Is this what the uncle said..."
At this moment, a man walked out of the house, carrying a bundle of grass, came to the sheepfold, and began to feed the sheep.
Wei Zhengxian and Gu Yanan gradually approached and asked, "Excuse me, what kind of village is this?"
The man turned around and startled Wei Zhengxian and Gu Yanan!
That person...
It’s really ugly!
The face is disproportionately narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. There are almost no hairs on the top of the head. The eyes are as small as mung beans, the skin is rough, the nose is as large as early stage, and the lips are as thick as sausages.
This man looked to be in his fifties. Looking at Wei Zhengxian and Gu Yanan, he suddenly opened his thick lips and revealed a creepy smile.
"Welcome you two, this is...Black Marsh Village."
At this moment, the sheep that was grazing suddenly looked at Wei Zhengxian and Gu Yanan, staring directly at them, and even stopped eating grass.
"You have worked hard all the way. If you want to stay, I will take you to the best B&B in our village."
…
"At that time, I actually vaguely felt that something was wrong. We should have turned around and escaped." When Gu Yanan told this point, her eyes started to shed tears. She looked at Gao Heyan and Dai Lin in front of her, and she was dead.
Holding the hem of her skirt, she recalled that experience with fear, and said in a trembling tone: "We shouldn't have...entered this village in the first place!"

Sorry... I think quality takes precedence over speed. If I feel bad and can stop writing for a day, the new volume has just begun, and the foreshadowing of the horror atmosphere is very important.
