Beipai Tomb Raiders Notes

Chapter 524 "Night Road"

It was late at night and I was driving back alone in that broken van.

The crazy Taoist priest said that the "yang wine" must be found before dawn, otherwise the little girl could not be saved.

The round trip would take at least three hours, I hope I can make it.

The wine I'm talking about is the bottle of black medicinal wine with unknown ingredients that Uncle Drunkard gave me before he left! It seems to be called "Jinglu Wine"? Uncle Drunkard, who can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, dare not drink more, which shows how strong the medicinal properties of the wine are.

Right now, we can't hang our heads on one basket, so we came up with a plan.

I went back overnight to get the Jinglu wine, while Shit Wuchang sent people to continue looking for other types of medicinal wine on the market.

I was a little sleepy and relied on cigarettes to stay awake along the way.

Get off the highway and enter the city.

I didn't even look at the traffic lights. Fortunately, it was the middle of the night and there were few cars on the road. Just when I was about to reach my destination, my cell phone in my pocket suddenly rang.

"Who?"

"Who are you? Speak!"

My phone only had half a bar of battery left. I looked at the caller ID and hung up.

During this period of time, I kept receiving these strange calls. No one spoke, or there were train sounds, as if the call was from some station.

I talked to Xiaoxuan on the phone on the way, so Xiaoxuan helped me open the door. The yard was dark and Xiaoxuan was wearing loose pajamas.

“Yunfeng, you look a little haggard, and your clothes are so dirty. What have you been doing these two days?”

"Brother Yu hasn't come back yet?"

"No."

Xiaoxuan followed me into the house, and I asked her to help turn on the light.

I pulled my treasure chest out from under the bed and immediately started rummaging through it.

After finding the medicinal wine, I was just about to zip up the box when Xiaoxuan suddenly blocked the box with her hand.

"This flute... Yunfeng, didn't you tell me that you threw it into the river a long time ago? Have you been lying to me before?"

"I didn't lie to you! I did throw it into the river, but I fished it out later. I didn't mean any other things, I just wanted to keep it as a souvenir."

"You don't have to hide this from me, just tell me the truth."

I hugged Xiaoxuan tightly.

"Go back to your room and sleep, and don't call the headman. I'm leaving now. This matter is a bit urgent."

After I came out and got into the car, before I inserted the key, someone suddenly knocked on the car window.

"Head."

I rolled down the window, he looked at me for a few seconds, and said, "Let's go, saving people is the most important thing, come back and talk if there's anything else, be careful on the road, don't drive too fast."

I was immediately confused.

How did the leader know that I came back to get the wine to save people? I didn't tell him about the crazy Taoist priest.

.......

An hour later, dawn was getting closer.

Suddenly, the broken van I was driving lost power, and after a violent shake, it broke down on the overpass.

"Damn it! This broken car! Why did it break down at this time? Get out of here!"

I stepped on the accelerator repeatedly, but the car body just kept shaking and wouldn't move!

After a series of fruitless attempts, I hurriedly took out my cell phone and tried to call Shi Wuchang, but Shi Wuchang didn't have a cell phone! Just when I wanted to contact the Changchun Club, the screen of my cell phone went black.

I tried to turn on the phone several times, but there was no response because I hadn't charged it in the past two days. The phone was only half charged before I came back, but now it was completely black because it was out of power.

"what!"

"Fuck you! Fuck you! Fuck you!"

Now three are still on a remote viaduct in the middle of the night! My phone is turned off and I can't contact anyone! Where can I take a taxi!

I raised my head sharply and looked toward the windshield.

The night was as dark as ink. I squinted at the car window and seemed to vaguely see a fuzzy "black shadow".

I waved.

The "black shadow" on the car window did not move.

That's not my own shadow.

I punched him.

The car glass shattered like a spider web in an instant, and the "black shadow" disappeared in an instant.

I sat in the car, took a deep breath, and quickly calculated in my mind.

If the medicinal wine in my hand is what the crazy Taoist priest needs, then I am racing against death at this moment.

There must be cause and effect in the universe.

It happened that the drunkard in Linquan gave me a bottle of medicinal wine! I just didn't drink it and left it! The crazy Taoist came to Chun'an because he sensed the Taoist enemy! And he said that he needed such a bottle of wine to save his life! Is there no cause and effect between these events?

I stared at the broken windshield for a few seconds, then immediately took the medicinal wine, opened the door and got out of the car.

Even if there is something in the dark that wants to stop me, I will not give up and I will definitely get there before dawn.

I calculated that the distance from the place where the van broke down to the tofu shop was about fifty kilometers. I ran all the way with the medicinal wine in my arms. In order to go faster, I even used the Eight Steps to Chase the Cicada.

The Eight-Step Chasing Cicada is a dodging step, but it can also be used to travel. If you want to travel, you only need to master the basic postures, which is very simple.

Press your body down to maintain your center of gravity, take a step forward with your left leg, lift your right leg as your center of gravity moves forward, then jump forward with your left foot, and follow with your right leg, and repeat this process.

For a skilled practitioner, the maximum speed of the Eight-Step Cicada Chaser can reach 40 kilometers per hour!

I thought I would definitely come across a taxi after running for a while, but surprisingly, I ran for a long way and didn't see a single car!

Not to mention taxis, even private cars were not seen!

I always feel like there's something following me, but when I turn around, there's nothing there.

I found two bricks on the side of the road, stacked them up to block the middle of the road, and then quickly released the water.

As I let the water flow, I drew circles around the bricks. When it was about to become a circle, I suddenly pulled it back, intentionally leaving a gap.

Then I didn't look back and continued to run forward using the Eight Steps to chase the cicada.

Gradually, there were more street lights around, and I saw the first car passing by me, then the second... the third...

"Dude, do you want a taxi?"

A white private car with a small red light on the windshield stopped, and a middle-aged man stuck his head out and asked me. The middle-aged man had an ordinary appearance and a pale face.

"I'll take a taxi! Go to the tofu shop in the urban village in the north!" I immediately got in the car and told him.

"Tofu shop? Which village in the city are you talking about? What's its name?"

I didn't even know what the village in the city was called, and I wasn't familiar with the place. I held the medicinal wine in my hand and said anxiously, "Just drive forward! I know the way!"

"Then how do we calculate the cost?"

I took out two hundred yuan and threw it to him, saying, "We're running out of time! Hurry up and leave!"

"Oh."

"In front! Turn left at the third traffic light, then go straight for five kilometers and turn right."

The driver said he understood, looked in the rearview mirror, and then asked me with a smile, "Dude, I saw you jumping around like a kangaroo just now, is your leg injured?"

I almost swore.

I thought to myself, you are the fucking kangaroo, I am using the Eight Steps to Chase the Cicada Kung Fu, you idiot, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand

"Master, let me ask, from the viaduct to the intersection where I got on the bus just now, are there no cars passing by at night?"

He held the steering wheel with his right hand and used his left pinky finger to pick his ear. He said, "Yes, there are fewer street lights on that section of road, so it's a little dark at night. But it's in the city anyway, so how could there be no cars?"

I said "oh" and didn't say anything else.

After driving for a few minutes, I felt that his car was uncomfortable to sit in. I didn't know if there was something wrong with the shock absorber, but it shook violently even when driving on a flat road.

"Master, it's not this traffic light, turn left at the next one," I said.

He said, "It's closer if you turn here. I know the way you're talking about."

Looking at his profile, I began to wonder.

"Master, can you turn on the radio?"

"I can't turn it on. The radio broke down two days ago."

"Master, can you please bend the rearview mirror on your side?"

"Why are you breaking the mirror? It's pretty clear here."

Without a second's hesitation, I opened the door and jumped down.

Since the car was still walking, I rolled twice before stopping.

I looked at the medicinal wine in my arms and saw that it was not broken. I was sweating and breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking forward.

The white car gradually slowed down. I wonder if it was because of the street light? I saw... the middle-aged driver was holding the steering wheel, sitting forward, but his head was turned 180 degrees backward.

His face was as pale as paper and expressionless. After looking at me for a few seconds, he slowly turned his head back.
