The sky soon darkened, and the moonlight was blocked by dark clouds, with only half of its face showing, as if it was hiding in the dark and spying on the world.
After leaving the highway, the Bentley got off the road and drove onto a winding mountain road.
The winding mountain road was very steep, with a deep valley below and a lot of gravel scattered on the road. The vehicle was a bit bumpy on the road, but fortunately the headlights were bright, just like a pair of eyes to clearly survey the road conditions.
However, Master Jiang is a very good driver. Although the road is bumpy, the people sitting in the car are relatively safe.
Our car followed behind those trailers, neither fast nor slow.
The locals call this winding mountain road "Nine Rings", which means it looks like nine rings hung together, very winding.
The trailers in front were driving steadily, making rumbling sounds one by one, just like an old and frail man or a patient with tuberculosis crawling on the mountain road, giving people a feeling of being out of breath and about to die.
It was getting darker and it was about eight o'clock in the evening.
The moon was completely covered by dark clouds. Darkness came from all directions, just like a person holding a tarp to block the entire sky. In addition to the roar of car engines on the road, there was also the sound of wind.
The sound of the wind was in my ears, sometimes whispering, sometimes roaring.
Liu Wei was still driving as usual, humming a little tune, with the car music playing.
The music is by Xu Wei. It sounds melodious and gives people a feeling of being told a story.
But what Liu Wei found strange was that he always felt drowsy when he drove to the winding mountain road at this time in the past. But today he was not sleepy at all.
Li Wei thought of the two people he met near dusk.
One of them said he was a Taoist priest and also said that Li Wei had hit someone with his car.
Li Wei was surprised when he thought about it. Logically, there was no one else on the road that day except him and a few driver friends.
But how did the Taoist know that he had hit and killed someone with his car
Could it be calculated
Thinking of this, Li Wei raised the corner of his mouth slightly, feeling that it was simply impossible.
He muttered to himself, he is a Taoist priest, it’s good that he is not a liar.
Li Wei felt that the "Taoist priest" was most likely making a blind guess. But thinking about the "Taoist priest's" gloomy look at that time, Li Wei felt that he didn't look like he was deceiving himself.
No matter what, Li Wei secretly told himself that he must drive extra carefully tonight.
Soon, Li Wei drove the trailer to the middle section of the winding mountain road.
After another turn, Li Wei knew that was the place where the old woman was hit and killed two days ago.
Thinking of the old woman who was hit and bloodied, Li Wei felt uneasy. He didn't know what was going on, but he felt that something might happen tonight.
Just as Li Wei was thinking about hitting and killing the old woman, his trailer had already driven to the turning ahead.
Li Wei frowned subconsciously and drove with a vigilant and silent look.
But when his trailer actually turned the bend, nothing happened.
The music was still playing, and it had turned into rock and roll, a bit deafening.
Seeing that there was nothing in front of him, Li Wei finally felt relieved.
He cursed in his mouth, "Damn it, I knew that fake Taoist priest was not a good guy, and he scared me, son of a bitch, I am safe and sound!"
But just as Li Wei finished his words, a dark shadow suddenly appeared in front of his car lights.
A hunched-over person was walking alone on the winding road. It should be a woman with dirty hair and a wooden stick in her hand.
When he saw the woman, Li Wei broke out in sweat on his forehead.
He suddenly felt a tingling sensation on his back, as if countless small insects were biting him and twisting their bodies constantly.
The trailer was getting closer and closer to the woman.
When the trailer drove close to the woman, Li Wei subconsciously looked at her.
But when he saw the woman's face clearly, his heart started pounding with fear.
.
With a brake application, the trailer squeaked and stopped on the road.
The woman's face was covered in blood.
The eyes were extremely dark, with tiny bloodshot streaks in them. The eyeballs were rolling and bulging, as if they were about to pop out of their sockets.
Her mouth was open with a creepy smile on the corners of her mouth.
The woman was the old woman who was hit and killed by Li Wei.
Without giving it any time to think, Li Wei hurriedly opened the door on the other side and jumped out of the car.
He didn't care and ran desperately towards the back.
When the trailer drivers following behind saw that Li Wei's trailer had stopped, their trailers also stopped one after another.
Li Wei ran quickly while looking back.
He wanted to confirm where the old woman was. But where the old woman had just appeared, she disappeared, like a ghost. She was not next to the vehicle either.
What Li Wei didn't expect was that when he ran more than ten meters away, his feet suddenly sank, as if he was tripped by something.
He subconsciously lowered his head, only to see a pair of hands reaching out from the ground and tightly grasping his ankles.
He also heard a faint voice in his ears.
The voice was a woman's, and she was calling weakly.
"Give me back my life, give me back my life..."
Li Wei's crotch felt hot and he was so scared that he wet his pants.
His feet kept kicking, but the hand stretched longer and longer, and then he actually saw a woman's face slowly emerging in the mud on the ground.
"Ahh... Help, there's a ghost, there's a ghost!..."
Li Wei screamed like crazy.
At this time, the hand had already grabbed his neck.
His throat tightened, and Li Wei made a "Mmmm" sound, but he couldn't make a sound. He tried to pry open the hand that was pinching his neck, but it was no use. He couldn't even touch the hand.
But the hand accurately pinched his neck.
Just as Li Wei's breathing became weak,
When his brain was lacking oxygen, he suddenly saw a talisman flying out of his pocket. The talisman caught fire in mid-air and hit the ghost.
The ghost screamed in pain and quickly retracted its claws.
In the blink of an eye, the ghost face on the ground disappeared.
Li Wei coughed violently twice, and he was breathing heavily through his mouth and nostrils.
Soon the drivers also rushed over.
They helped Li Wei up from the ground and asked him all kinds of questions, but what Li Wei said made them laugh.
The skinny driver also teased Li Wei, saying that Li Wei was timid and afraid of things, and that there were no such things as ghosts in the world.
But Li Wei insisted that he saw something dirty.
Later, a driver in his 50s wearing a sun hat noticed something was wrong. The driver had good eyesight, and when he shone the flashlight on Li Wei's neck, he found a black claw mark on Li Wei's neck.
The driver who was wearing a sun hat was so scared at that time.
However, he was a few years older than the other drivers in the team, so he was relatively calm. He immediately told a few people to get in the car quickly and leave the winding mountain road.
Soon, several trailers carrying goods continued on the road. However, their speed was surprisingly fast, and everyone was extremely nervous.
Because Li Wei’s incident has been confirmed, there might really be ghosts on this Panshan Road.
Moreover, several people speculated that the ghost might have come to seek revenge on Li Wei.
After all, two days ago, Li Wei had killed someone on this winding mountain road. And from Li Wei's previous description, it can be seen that the ghost was the old woman he had killed.
Let’s talk about Master Jiang and me.
When it got dark, we followed those trailers. The distance between us was not far, about half a kilometer away.
After all, Master Jiang and I are not very familiar with the road conditions here, and the car is driving on a winding mountain road. So Master Jiang drove slowly for our safety.
.
Because it was a winding mountain road, we could occasionally see the taillights of several trailers ahead, so Master Jiang and I felt relieved. But after walking for a while, I realized something was wrong.
I reminded him, "Master Jiang, our car has been driving on the winding mountain road for about half an hour, right? How come the taillights of the trailers we saw earlier are no longer visible? It should take some time to leave this road. They shouldn't be going so fast!"
After I said this, Master Jiang also started to pay attention.
Then, he said in a deep voice: "That's right, Brother Yang, you are right, it's really weird, those trailers running in the front are gone!"
After hearing this, I asked, "Could it be that they encountered a ghost? You know, that dark-faced driver hit and killed someone!"
A blood-red light flashed in Master Jiang's eyes.
After he glanced at the path ahead, he shook his head and said, "No, it's not a ghost! Ghosts also need ghost energy when they cast illusions. But there is no ghost energy on this road!"
"What's going on?" I asked.
Master Jiang shook his head and seemed to be unclear about the situation.
After that we picked up speed again.
We walked for another half an hour, but still couldn't find any trace of the trailers. It was as if the trailers had simply disappeared on the winding mountain road.
I'm increasingly feeling that something is not right.
Just as we drove for about ten minutes and were about to get off the winding mountain road, a white lantern appeared at the intersection not far ahead of us. The white lantern appeared so strange in the dark night.
When I looked at Master Jiang, I found that his face had turned pale.
I asked in surprise, "Master Jiang, are you okay?"
Master Jiang seemed to be awakened by my words.
He quickly stepped on the brakes.
The car stopped, Master Jiang looked at me and said quickly: "No! We may be in trouble, Brother Tianyi, let's get out of the car quickly!"
