At a shallow area where the water flowed over a large area of pebbles, the herdsman crossed the river by pressing on the riverbed and came to the slope in front of the rocky mountain on the west bank.
I don't know if it's because the rock layer here is too shallow or because the wind and sand are too strong. Although it's close to the river, the surrounding area is still full of yellow earth. 30 kilometers to the south, the shadows of the mountains stretch across the horizon, and the lush jungle at the foot of the mountain is in sharp contrast with this side.
Gu Lang breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head and was about to say something when the two furry "badger paws" in front of him suddenly enlarged.
Wang Ping flew up and kicked someone in the face with both feet. Gu Lang's head tilted back, and the bump on the back of his head hit the car door directly. He covered his mouth with his hands and cried "Ah". Then he saw the badger that fell down turned around and jumped up again, and his little claws hit his face fiercely.
“Bang!”
"oops!"
"Don't hit me, don't hit me!"
"I didn't mean it! Stop hitting me!"
"I was wrong! I was wrong, isn't that okay?"
The car suddenly became chaotic, and Gu Laosan's screams and pleas for mercy echoed in the live broadcast room.
Netizens probably got used to it, since this duo would do this every now and then. Everyone was still chatting about their own things, and commenting on the badger's punching posture. If Wang Ping accidentally made a cool pose, he would be cheered and rewarded.
In this situation, Yuan Xiaoxiao's voice trying to stop the fight seemed so pale and powerless.
She could see that both the man and the badger were sick. But if she put herself in his shoes, she would be more inclined to Wang Ping's side. Yuan Xiaoxiao boasted that she had seen a lot of big scenes, at least she could keep her emotions under control. But after what happened just now, she wanted to pull Gu Laosan out of the car and beat him up.
This isn't a live broadcast, this is clearly a suicide mission.
So after just a few words of advice, she rolled her eyes and leaned back in her seat. She stroked the wolf's head with her little hand and cursed in her heart. Mmp, I can't kill him anyway, so I'll just treat it as a badger venting my anger for me.
Gu Laosan felt that he could still save the situation, so he freed one hand to shift the gear again, shouting, "Stop fighting! Stop fighting! I'm driving!"
Then he raised his hand to block the badger's claws that kept hitting him, and with his other hand he turned the steering wheel. The Wrangler roared and drove out again. Wang Ping just jumped up and slapped him in the face. When he landed on the storage box, he didn't stand firmly and was pushed by inertia and rolled onto the floor of the back seat.
Yuan Xiaoxiao hurriedly raised her feet, fearing that she would accidentally step on the badger's tail and let the badger take its anger out on her.
Gu Laosan was too busy trying to appease the badger. In order to avoid being beaten, he quickly increased the speed of the car. In a very short time, the Wrangler reached 120 miles per hour, with dust flying on both sides of the wheels. It bypassed the south side of the rocky mountain and accelerated westward.
Wang Ping climbed back to the passenger seat by grabbing the storage box between the front seats. Although he was still angry, he did not take any further action in order to prevent someone from overturning the car.
“It really works!”
Gu Laosan quietly observed the badger from the corner of his eye, with the corner of his mouth curled up, silently praising his own wit. At the same time, he organized his words in his mind, thinking about how to use his invincible mouth cannon to resolve this crisis.
But the man was not proud for long. Just as the Wrangler was about to turn around the rocky mountain and turn to the north, there was a loud "bang" on the ground. Everyone in the car felt the car body suddenly stop, followed by a sharp metal friction sound below, and the engine exploded and instantly stalled. The car slid forward for a while due to inertia and then stopped.
Gu Lang was pulled by the seat belt, and he pushed against the steering wheel for a while, then was pulled back to the backrest, with a confused look on his face.
"What happened? Did you bump into something?"
In the back seat, Yuan Xiaoxiao rubbed her forehead and stood up, asking. The wolf Xiao Si in her arms was howling, as if he had just been pinched by someone and was struggling.
There was a noise from the passenger seat, and Wang Ping climbed out from under the seat again, lowering his head and sighing about his ill-fated life.
In the live broadcast room where the camera was already crooked, everyone was too busy to joke around and asked if he had hit something. But then, someone with a split-screen camera on the rearview mirror posted a message:
"Look behind the car"
"There's something behind the car!"
"There's something on the ground!"
"What is that?"
“Like bones”
"Did you hit something?" Wang Ping was about to remind someone when Gu Laosan opened the car door and walked out. He squatted beside the car and looked at the chassis. Then a scream was heard.
"Fuck! It's over, it's over... This is going to get serious..."
Gu Lang's voice came in through the open front door and the leaking rear window, so Wang Ping and Yuan Xiaoxiao, who were curious, opened the car door and walked out. Yuan Xiaoxiao held Wolf Xiao Si and walked to the back of the car, while a badger stood beside the car and bent down to look at the chassis.
The suspension of the Wrangler had been hit at a right angle, and the two front wheels were tilted inward. The springs and brake cables were drooping and dragging on the ground. The fuel tank was completely scrapped, with a huge gap on the side. There was a large pool of oil on the ground, emitting a pungent smell.
“It’s over…” Wang Ping’s heart instantly sank.
What the Wrangler had hit was no longer important. With the current result, the car was definitely undriveable. How would the remaining 300 kilometers be driven? Wang Ping could not imagine it.
"Come and see!"
Yuan Xiaoxiao's voice came from behind the car, and Wang Ping and Gu Lang both turned around to look.
Just where the shepherd had passed before, a gray-black stick-shaped object stretched out diagonally from the ground. Judging from its length, it was at least 40 centimeters.
A badger and Gu Laosan walked closer to take a look and found that it was an object that looked like an animal horn. Judging from the shape and size, it should be the horn of a wild yak. The rest of the part was buried under the loess, with only this part exposed.
"Hiss..."
Wang Ping took a deep breath and felt a toothache.
The location of the bull's horns is at least dozens of meters away from the rocky mountain, and there is a large open area on the other side. If a car comes from the opposite side, how unlucky would you have to be to hit it directly
"Gu Laosan, ah Gu Laosan, what do you want me to say about you?"
Gu Lang stared blankly for a long time, then squatted down and touched the horn on the ground, muttering in confusion: "What is this thing... so hard..."
After a long time, no one responded. Someone turned around and saw Yuan Xiaoxiao and Wang Ping standing there, staring at him with stupid eyes.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
Gu Laosan pointed at the bull's horn and said innocently, "It's not my fault. The location where it appeared is too bad! Who would have thought that I would hit this thing while driving a car..."
"hehe… "
Yuan Xiaoxiao turned sideways, faced Wang Ping, raised her arm towards Gu Lang, and made a "please" gesture.
