Chapter 1585 White Frost Mist
"We can wait for the fog to dissipate before moving forward, or we can walk away from Jiudaowan. After leaving this winding mountain road, the fog will be lighter, and at least we can see things."
Master Ma was also scratching his head. This was the first time he was trapped on this road. If he had known better, he would not have taken this job.
"Master Ma, didn't you say you can drive the car away with your eyes closed?"
The male classmate who had a newborn calf in the car started to be a cricket driver.
Lao Ma rolled his eyes and replied:
"I dare to drive, but do you dare to sit?"
Teacher Ye winked at Teacher Lu, and Teacher Lu immediately said:
"Please be quiet. Master Ma is a local. Since he said he can't continue driving, there must be a reason. It's all for everyone's safety. Just say a few words. Now get all your things and we'll get ready. Car and walk to the rented B&B.”
"knew!"
"Ouch! What a bad luck, you still have to walk on your own."
Teacher Ye clapped his hands and said:
"Okay! Everyone, get moving. You just don't exercise too much on weekdays. What's wrong with walking two steps? Stop complaining. This is also an experience."
At this time, the boy next to Lianyi said:
"Lianyi, why would Master Ma rather walk than drive? Is there something in the white fog? Wouldn't it be safer for us to walk into the fog?"
The boy's voice was neither too loud nor too quiet. All the nearby companions heard it. Master Ma, who was stuffing cigarettes into his pocket, also heard it. He paused his hand and said carelessly:
"You kids have too many twists and turns in your mind. What can be in the fog? It's just fog!
This is a winding mountain road with many twists and turns. As you have seen just now, the entire road is now shrouded in white mist. If you fail to make a turn, it is easy to cause an accident.
There is a single lane going back and forth here. What if we collide with an oncoming car? Do you still want to die? "
Liu Chang, who was talkative before, immediately said:
"Master Ma, wouldn't it be more dangerous for you to park your car here? What if you are hit by another car?"
“As all locals know, when encountering hoarfrost fog, you should park your car as soon as possible, and then wait with your car and people where you are until the white fog clears before leaving.
At the entrance to Jiudaowanshan Road, there is a sign indicating that drivers coming here for the first time will generally be fine as long as they read it carefully. "
Master Ma patiently explained the confusion to a group of people.
"To be honest, this is also the first time I have fallen into hoarfrost fog. Mainly because I wasted a lot of time in the city, and the hoarfrost fog only dissipates when the sun rises.
It's not realistic for ten of you to stay in the car all night. You have to eat, drink, and defecate! If I were alone, I would just make do with the car all night. If I park the empty car here for the night, I would be more worried about the car! "
"Thank you for your hard work, Master Ma. No one wants to encounter traffic jams. We will give you another two hundred yuan as hard work fee to take all the students to a safe place no matter what."
Teacher Lu said with a smile.
After listening to Teacher Lu's words, Master Ma's expression was no longer as serious as before, he nodded and said:
"Don't worry, even if you don't pay more, I will bring you to the B&B safely. But if you pay more, I will be more motivated."
Taking advantage of the gap between the two parties' communication, Lianyi had already put on his own backpack, then carried the drawing board in his hand, refused the help of the boy next to him, and got out of the car behind Teacher Ye.
After everyone got off the bus, Master Ma led the way, and the group walked along the base of the mountain wall.
After entering the white mist, everyone consciously lowered their voices. In order to avoid falling behind, everyone put their hands on the shoulders of the other person, followed the footsteps of the person in front, and walked faster and faster.
Ripple pulled the hem of Liu Chang's clothes, and the boy behind her who was sitting next to her was the boy who was sitting next to her. Everyone was in the fog, and the surroundings were too quiet. Ripple could hear the breathing of the two people in front and behind, but there was no more.
She tentatively released her spiritual consciousness to see the surrounding environment, but the spiritual consciousness she explored seemed to be sucked away by something. The strand of spiritual consciousness she tentatively released, which was thinner than a hair, instantly connected with the She lost touch.
"Why haven't you arrived after walking for so long?"
Liu Chang in front couldn't help but complained.
"Classmate, you have to be patient. You know that you can run to death if you look up the mountain, right? When you are riding in the car, you feel that you are very close to the bottom of the mountain, but when you really walk, there is still a distance."
Master Ma, who took the lead, raised his voice to comfort him.
"Yes! Students, it is safer to walk slower."
Teacher Ye also said aloud.
Lianyi frowned. She didn't think it was their fault. She always felt that they were going in circles, but everyone was indeed going downhill. She couldn't judge for a while and didn't speak. She always felt that this white mist Somewhat weird.
Everyone walked for more than half an hour, and there were more and more complaints behind them. It was obvious that everyone was tired, and the result of carrying and lifting loads as they moved forward was that they became more and more tired as they walked.
At this time, Master Ma, who was leading the way, was also a little flustered. According to the speed they were advancing, they should have reached the foot of the mountain long ago. Why didn't he see the exit yet? He subconsciously took out his cell phone and wanted to contact the owner of the B&B, but the cell phone showed no signal. He stuffed the cell phone back into his pocket again and scratched his head irritably.
The two teachers Lu and Ye who were following him looked at each other and saw worry in each other's eyes. Just when Teacher Lu was considering how to speak, a voice suddenly came into everyone's ears.
"Ma Xiangbei! Is Ma Xiangbei?"
Master Ma immediately stopped, feeling that this was really a heavenly sound, and immediately replied loudly:
"It's me! I'm Ma Xiangbei!"
"Where are you going?"
The voice continued to ask, and everyone felt that the voice was not far away from them.
"I picked up a small group and was about to send them to Xiaotao's B&B. We encountered hoarfrost fog, so we had to walk there."
Master Ma replied in the direction of the sound.
"Then you, kid, are walking outside. Why do you keep circling around there?"
The other party said curiously.
Master Ma's expression changed and he immediately said:
"Brother, the fog is too thick. I can't see the exit clearly. I've been looking here for a long time."
"Oh! Just follow the direction of my voice. The exit is not far from you."
Ma Xiangbei wiped the sweat from his forehead and walked in the direction of the sound without hesitation this time.
Sure enough, two minutes later, Master Ma took everyone down the winding mountain road and saw the person who was talking to him.
"Uncle Ye, it's so late, where are you going?"
Ma Xiangbei immediately took out the cigarettes from his pocket and handed the man a cigarette with a smile.
The man called Uncle Ye was probably in his early fifties, with dark skin and a slight stoop. There were two bamboo baskets at his feet, covered with white gauze, and you couldn't see what was inside.
He took the cigarette unceremoniously and smelled it. He refused Master Ma's move to light a cigarette, put the cigarette behind his ear, and then said:
"I was selling cooked corn on the roadside. I was about to go home when I saw you leading a group of people walking in circles. Did you encounter a 'ghost beating the wall'?"
