Everyone was chattering, faintly wanting to quarrel.
Bai Youwei quietly observed the man with glasses and saw disgust and contempt between his eyebrows. Presumably this person is also helpless. In order to survive, he has to count on these vulgar and selfish humans.
Bai Youwei turned her face to Shen Mo and gave Shen Mo a look, as if to say: Look, I will say that this group of people is unreliable.
Shen Mo smiled lightly and did not comment.
The so-called meeting to discuss methods gradually changed its flavor. At first, it was a discussion, and then a group of people complained about each other. If it wasn't for the glasses man coming forward from time to time to ease, I'm afraid it would really be a fight.
At this time, the room suddenly became dark!
The timid one called out first.
Then someone scolded: "What is it called! It's just a trip, don't scare yourself!"
After a while, the eyes adjusted to the darkness, and everyone left the restaurant in a hurry. The man in glasses called for the two of them to check the switch together.
There is no electricity, everyone is waiting outside, with nothing to do.
Bai Youwei raised her head and looked at the moon and stars in the sky. The vast sky shrouded the earth, quiet and vast, and the people in the night seemed extraordinarily small.
The dark night seems to contain mysterious power, and after watching it for a long time, it is always heart-pounding.
The crowd was restless.
The man with glasses who came back told everyone that there was no problem with the electric switch, but the power was cut off in the entire service area. Maybe soon the water will be cut off too.
The atmosphere suddenly became low and depressed.
Bai Youwei felt that these people were really hopeless. Except for the man with glasses, none of them had an opinion.
"I said..." An old man in the crowd said hesitantly, "How about we all find a way to go?"
The person next to him said, "Mr. Cheng, haven't we been trying to find a way to go? What you're talking about is like nonsense."
The old man called Teacher Cheng, around sixty years old, with white temples, a thin body wearing an old-fashioned coarse cloth shirt, with a slightly hunched back, looks very inconspicuous.
After being satirized, his old face turned red, and he hesitated: "I mean... don't drive, just, just go. The reason why we are stuck here is not because the road is blocked and the car can't drive past. ?"
The old man stretched out his hand and gestured, "We can work in groups of two and start in groups every 10 minutes, so that we can largely avoid turning into dolls..."
"Mr. Cheng, don't make any trouble. How can we go without a car? There are so many of us, we have a family with us, and we have a lot of luggage. Do you want us to go to Yangzhou on two legs?"
"Yeah, what you're talking about on paper won't work."
Everyone said one sentence to me, and the complaints became louder and louder, and it seemed that they wanted to vent the grievances of the power outage on the old man.
The man with glasses was silent in the crowd, facing the old man's look for help, he chose to ignore it. Maybe he also thinks the old man's words are reasonable, but at this time, what obligation does he have to help others share the anger
The pressure of survival has been accumulating for a long time, and someone has to become the target of group venting.
Bai Youwei didn't want to wade into the muddy water, she silently said to Shen Mo, "Let's go."
Shen Mo stood still.
She gently pulled him down again, but he took two steps forward and said to the complaining people, "Everyone, be quiet..."
Bai Youwei immediately wanted to roll her eyes!
Everyone looked over.
She and Shen Mo suddenly became the focus of attention, and it felt like they were being stared at by a group of starving ghosts, which was very scary.
But Shen Mo didn't even move his eyebrows.
He said calmly: "It seems that a car is coming."
People were silent.
Once the voice stopped, the various sounds in the air became extraordinarily clear.
The faint roar went from far to near, at first like the wind, but as it got closer, the sound of the wheels rolling over the road was clear and distinct.
Finally, in the dark night, a big car drove into the service area, and the bright headlights shone directly on people—
brake.
stop.
Several athletic young men jumped out of the car. One of them whistled and said, "Hey, what's the matter? What are all of them doing outside?"
