Anecdote of the Yellow River

Chapter 49
Rong Fei's emotions seemed extremely agitated, his speech was incoherent, and he didn't know what he was talking about.

"Rong Fei! Calm down! Rong Fei!" I pressed Rong Fei firmly on the seat, lit a cigarette and stuffed it into his mouth, "Come on, smoke a cigarette, calm down!"

Rong Fei bit his cigarette butt, took two deep sips, and gradually calmed down.

The sun outside was still bright, so I asked Rong Fei, "Is it better? If you feel better, let's continue on our way!"

Rong Fei took a deep breath and said with a gloomy face, "I'm not leaving!"

what? !

not leaving? !

The fiery Wang Dongyu immediately lost his temper: "Are you kidding me? There's no place in front of the village, no store in the back, what's the matter with you leaving us here?"

Rong Fei looked back at Wang Dongyu: "Brother, we have only walked half the distance, and we encountered such a strange thing. It's a bad start! I advise you not to go to Lop Nur, and come back to Dunhuang with me."

Li Yingxin said: "Rong Fei, we have negotiated a good price, you can't go back on your word!"

Gan Hongxin said: "That's right! Didn't you always say that you are the only one who dares to walk this death road? Now it seems that you are just a braggart!"

Rong Fei's black face was flushed red, and everyone said one sentence to another, so that he couldn't lift his head.But this guy is also a stubborn temper, no matter what we say, he just doesn't want to drive.

Hao Mengkang, who has always been taciturn, suddenly stepped forward, drew out the shark blade and put it on Rong Fei's neck, and said fiercely: "Don't toast me and refuse to eat fine wine. If you dare to say no again, grandpa will let you go!" Move your head!"

I looked at Hao Mengkang in surprise. I had heard Professor Ye say that he was a ruthless character before. When I saw him today, he really lived up to his reputation.

Sometimes, it is necessary to use some abnormal means to deal with this kind of stubborn temper, and I also lost no time to add fuel and vinegar: "Look at the desert on both sides of this road, we will kill you and throw you in the desert. People will know, right? In three to five days, your body will rot quickly, and if you are unlucky, you will be eaten by wild beasts in the end..."

Before I finished my words, Rong Fei stepped on the accelerator with a livid face without saying a word, and the van sped on the road again.

"Hey, I'm unlucky, I really met you!" Rong Fei said.

At noon, the van stopped on the side of the road.

We get out of the car to stretch our muscles and solve lunch by the way.

After sitting in the car for a whole morning, my bones are almost falling apart, and when I move my muscles and bones a little, my joints will crackle.In the scorching sun, the yellow sand on the ground was scorching hot, and the asphalt road seemed to be roasted and melted.With no shade around us, we were like jerky on a grill, dripping with sweat.

After driving for half a day, everyone was also hungry, so they took out the prepared nutritious bento from their backpacks.After eating and drinking, everyone returned to the car and began to doze off.Rong Fei didn't want me to sleep, let me chat with him, because driving on this kind of endless road, the driver is most likely to suffer from brain fatigue, and accidents may result if he is not careful, so someone needs to chat with the driver constantly, let him Keep a clear head.

While chatting, Rong Fei suddenly said suspiciously: "Hey! Has the sky changed? Why is the sky in front so dark!"

I saw the sky, which was still bright before, suddenly darkened at this time.There seems to be a big black mouth in the sky in the distance, and the highway of death leads all the way into that big black mouth, which is like the entrance of hell, and we are driving towards the entrance of hell.

Suddenly, a strange black mist floated around. The black mist was like ink, black and sticky, too thick to dissolve.The van passed through the fog, and the ripples of the fog could be seen.

I put my cheek against the car window, looking at the thick fog outside in amazement, feeling a little uneasy in my heart, this fog is so weird!

The fog came quickly and engulfed the road ahead in a blink of an eye. Rong Fei had no choice but to slow down the car and turn on the headlights at the same time.However, the light emitted by the headlights of the car can only illuminate a distance of five or six meters. There is a thick darkness five or six meters away, and the light cannot shine out, as if it was cut off by the thick fog there.

The sky and the ground are pitch black, as if we have entered a strange dark world, and the surroundings are eerily quiet.

Rong Fei looked out of the car window nervously, the road ahead was completely invisible, and the van moved forward at an extremely slow speed, like a big snail crawling on the road.

"Is it night? I'm still in a deep sleep!" Wang Dongyu yawned.

"You only slept for an hour!" I said.

Wang Dongyu was stunned: "Ah? No way? Then the sky outside..."

"This is the crossing of ghosts!" Lao Luo, who rarely spoke, suddenly said so gloomyly, which shocked us a lot.

Wang Dongyu plucked his ears: "What is it? The ghost crosses the boundary?"

Lao Luo nodded: "Yes, that's what the older generation said! Everyone close the windows and close your eyes. No matter what sounds you hear later, you can't open your eyes, let alone get out of the car , Otherwise, you won’t be able to come back!” When Lao Luo said this, his face was serious, and it seemed that he was definitely not joking.

Lao Luo has been walking outside the customs all year round, and has seen and heard more than us, and has more experience in the world than us. Since he ordered so, we will do as he said.

"Okay, close your eyes! Let me tell you again, don't open your eyes, let alone get out of the car!" After saying that, Lao Luo closed his eyes first.

We also closed our eyes. To be honest, I was still very nervous at the moment. Hearing what Lao Luo said so mysteriously, I knew that this so-called ghost crossing the boundary must be a very scary thing.

The surroundings are very quiet, so quiet that I can only hear my own heartbeat - dong dong!Boom!

I don't know if I was too nervous or too sleepy. Not long after I closed my eyes, I dozed off groggyly.Just when I was about to meet Zhou Gong, a scream suddenly came from my ear.I was startled and subconsciously wanted to open my eyes.

"Everyone, don't open your eyes!" Lao Luo's deep voice came from behind.

I suddenly remembered Lao Luo's instructions, couldn't help but shivered, and suddenly lost sleepiness.

Who made that scream just now?I'm sure that it wasn't made by anyone in the car, but the voice rang in my ears. Could it be that there are other people outside the car?

When I thought that there might be a woman with loose long hair, a rotten face, and bleeding eyes outside the car window looking at us, I felt palpitations. My heart could not calm down, and I desperately wanted to open my eyes. Check it out.

But Lao Luo’s instructions lingered in my mind all the time. The two consciousnesses of opening eyes and not opening eyes were repeatedly fighting in my mind, almost bursting my head. I felt very uncomfortable. Even breathing became difficult.

An angel and a devil seemed to appear on my left and right sides.

The angel said: "Don't open your eyes, or you won't come back!"

The devil said: "They are scaremongering, don't believe them, open your eyes quickly, and you will be able to figure out what is going on when ghosts cross the boundary!"

The angel said: "No! This is not alarmist talk, curiosity will kill people!"

The devil said: "Nonsense, how can the fog take people away? It's ridiculous!"

"Woo-woo-woo--"

Suddenly there was another burst of crying from a woman, the voice was like weeping and complaining, and it was indistinct, sometimes it seemed to be close at hand, and sometimes it seemed to be far away in the sky, disturbing people's mind.

More and more strange voices came from a distance, sometimes a lot of people were crying, sometimes a lot of people were making noise, sometimes there was laughter, and sometimes there were shouts, all kinds of voices were intertwined, which constantly stimulated me eardrum.I just felt my scalp go numb, as if there were countless lonely ghosts wandering outside the carriage.Fear was like a needle, piercing deep into my skin and giving me goosebumps.

I don't know how long it took, it might be 10 minutes, it might be half an hour, it might even be an hour, anyway, I can't tell, in this muddle-headed state, I almost lost the concept of time.

It wasn't until there was no sound outside that Lao Luo said, "Everyone can open their eyes!"

At this time, I realized that my forehead, palms, and back were all covered with sweat.

I don't know if it's been closed for too long, and I'm still a little unaccustomed to opening my eyes. I covered them with my hands for a long time, and then slowly opened them.The sky outside had returned to its previous clean and bright state, and the fiery red sun was still hanging in the sky, as if everything before was like a horrible illusion, and it never happened at all.

I let out a long breath: "Rong Fei, now we..."

I was stunned suddenly, the driver's seat was empty, the door opened, and Rong Fei had disappeared.

I panicked, opened the car door and jumped out, shouting at the top of my voice, "Rong Fei! Rong Fei! Where are you?"

The only answer to me was the vast wind, and Rong Fei disappeared without a trace as if the world had evaporated.

Although the sky was bright and clear outside, I felt as if I had fallen into an ice cellar, and I felt cold all over my body.

Everyone got out of the car one after another, searched around for a long time, but found nothing.

A cruel fact tells us: Rong Fei is missing!Yes, really missing!
Lao Luo took out a golden pipe, rubbed some shredded tobacco in it, and took two puffs: "That guy must have not listened to my advice, opened his eyes when the ghost crossed the border, and was taken away Already!"

When Lao Luo told us earlier, I still had some doubts in my heart, but now, I completely believe it.It is impossible for Rong Fei to leave alone. To leave alone in this kind of place is undoubtedly looking for death.Maybe what Lao Luo said was right, he didn't listen to Lao Luo's advice, he couldn't help but opened his eyes, and disappeared in the end.

What happened to the ghost crossing the boundary?

Why do you have to close your eyes when ghosts cross the border?

What happened when the ghost crossed the boundary?
I felt my head was in a mess, and I took out a cigarette and smoked it.

Everyone buried their heads, no one spoke, and the atmosphere became very depressed. These are people who have seen the world, but the strange things that happened one after another still cast a layer of dark clouds on their faces.

After smoking a cigarette, Li Yingxin turned to Lao Luo and asked, "Lao Luo, please tell us the truth, what is going on with this ghost crossing the boundary?"

Lao Luo picked up the bong and tapped it lightly on the ground, and said slowly: "The first time I encountered ghosts crossing the boundary was when I was 17 years old. I went with my grandfather to do a business outside the customs. On the way, I encountered a ghost crossing the boundary. At that time, I was so scared that my grandfather told me to close my eyes. He was afraid that I would open my eyes halfway, and he covered my eyes tightly with his hands. Later, my grandfather told me I said that it was ghosts crossing the boundary, that is, countless lonely ghosts gathered together and wandered past!"

My heart skipped a beat, when the ghost crossed the boundary just now, there were indeed all kinds of ghosts crying and howling.

Lao Luo went on to say: "Of course, that's a superstition of the older generation! Later, I consulted many experts, and the experts couldn't explain why. They just told me that ghosts crossing the boundary may be a mysterious magnetic field phenomenon! This The answer is rather vague, and we cannot blame those experts, after all, there are still many things in this world that those experts cannot answer!"

Rong Fei was taken away by "Ghost Crossing the Boundary", and he didn't know where he went, maybe he went to another world, maybe he died.

We all felt sorry for this Mongolian man. A few hours ago, he was still telling us the rumors of the death road with relish, and a few hours later, he also disappeared on the death road.Looking at the death road winding and circling in the desert, fear is like ivy creeping up my heart.

Gu Meidi was a little sentimental: "If we didn't want Bao Rongfei's car, Rong Fei should still be in Dunhuang City, wandering freely in the car!"

I comforted her and said: "No one knows that things will turn out like this, maybe this is Rong Fei's fate!"

Having encountered such a strange thing just after leaving the house, everyone felt a little heavy.

After a while, it was Lao Luo who broke the silence: "Let's hurry up!"

After we calmed down, Lao Luo drove the car and started the journey again.
