Chapter 326: Temptation in the Snow (1)

~12 min read 2,259 words

Our car ran forward happily along the provincial road. An hour later, we turned onto the county road leading to Chunshan County, and the road suddenly narrowed a lot.

Not many cars walked on this road, and there were two faint ruts in the middle of the road, which had been covered by a thin layer of ice. As soon as the wheels went up, it was slippery and frightening.

Mao Ping wrapped in a big coat, sleeping soundly in the back seat, occasionally coming with a burst of ups and downs of snoring, playing a tune of five-tone-incomplete aria with the roar of the engine.

The sky darkened, I turned on the headlights and walked along the two ruts.

I held my breath and drove carefully. Sweat broke out in my palms, sticking to the steering wheel, slippery and greasy. After turning around a mountain mouth, my eyes were full of white. The snow in the mountains melted slowly, and it was the season of melting snow outside the mountains, but in the mountains, it was like another world. The trees on the mountain were covered in silver, and occasionally I could see startled mountain chickens, flapping their wings, making a tree of good snow fall one after another.

This road had no human smoke for a long time, the road passed through the middle of the mountain, just like a straight intestine, extending proudly along the side of the mountain.

Li Fulian sitting in the front row was as nervous as I was, holding the car door handle tightly, reminding me from time to time to slow down, turn, and walk slowly.

When people are nervous, wrong things follow one after another. After climbing a small hill, looking down, it was a straight road. My heart relaxed a lot. Just as I relaxed, I suddenly found something coming out of the side of the road. My heart was anxious, and I stepped on the brake and handbrake together. I heard a wail from the front of the car, and then the car spun like a top, and then the car rushed into the road ditch.

Li Fulian screamed in fright, with a loud bang, the car hit a tree, the hood bulged, a burst of white smoke came out, and the engine stalled. I hurriedly unbuckled the seat belt and called Li Fulian and Mao Ping to escape. I called for a long time, only to find that Mao Ping had rolled to the bottom of the seat, gasping for breath with his mouth open, but unable to move at all.

Looking at Li Fulian again, she had opened the car door and jumped far away. Her legs in the winter skirt couldn't take big steps, and she was so anxious that she lifted her skirt and ran forward, not expecting to step on it and fall flat on her back.

I couldn't care about laughing, opened the back door, dragged Mao Ping down, and dragged him like a dead dog, and also escaped far away.

The car didn't catch fire, nor did it explode. After the water in the water tank flowed out, the white smoke slowly dissipated. The three of us left shivering, looking at each other, unable to make a sound for a long time.

"It's over!" Mao Ping climbed up from the ground, rubbing his waist and lamenting.

"Thank heaven and earth, Bodhisattva bless!" Li Fulian put her hands together, closed her eyes and worshiped in chaos.

I calmed down, left them, and walked to the car alone.

The car hit a wild sheep to death. This was a wild sheep less than half a year old, and its hair was thick, dark and bright. Its eyes were open, and its mouth was open, seemingly responding to its mother's call.

I kicked it and turned to look at my car.

The front of the car broke a tree as thick as a bowl, the hood was lifted, and the water tank was completely scrapped.

I drilled into the car, trying to light the fire, turned the key, the car engine had no reaction at all.

Mao Ping and Li Fulian followed, looking at me lighting the fire nervously, and when I drilled out of the car dejectedly, despair filled their eyes.

The sky was completely dark, the snow showed its purity in the night, and with the faint stars in the sky, there was actually a trace of reflection.

"It's over, can't go back." Mao Ping fell down, and as soon as he touched the snow, he jumped up in fright, crying with a voice: "In such cold weather, I won't freeze to death, I'll starve to death. It's really hungry and cold."

I didn't pay attention to him, took out my mobile phone, and called Huang Weiwei for help.

Taking out the phone, there was no signal at all, changed several directions, and there was still no signal. A sense of terror suddenly surged up, we were trapped in a desperate situation!

"What to do? What to do?" Mao Ping asked anxiously, spinning around in a hurry.

"Stop the car." I said, took off the cotton scarf around my neck, and handed it to Li Fulian who was shivering with cold. She pushed it away, but couldn't stand the cold, and wrapped the scarf tightly around her neck.

"Where to stop the car? At this time, where is there a car." Mao Ping stomped his feet, put his hands to his mouth, exhaled a hot breath, and rubbed hard.

"Maybe there will be." I comforted him, my heart was also blank.

"I hope so." Mao Ping beat his waist painfully: "Chen Feng, I suspect my waist is injured. If I can't leave tonight, it seems I will sacrifice here."

"If you sacrifice, you are a martyr!" I teased him, wanting to ease the tense, dull, and sad atmosphere.

"Don't say it. I think, you two should find some dry wood early, we burn a pile of fire, at least we won't freeze to death." Li Fulian gave an order like a commander.

I thought this idea was very good, but Mao Ping refused: "It's dark, where do you want us to find dry wood? Besides, it's been snowing for so many days, will there still be dry wood?"

I knew Mao Ping didn't want to go, so I had to go down the road myself to pick up some firewood.

Just as I went down to the ridge, I heard a roar of a car, and then two beams of car lights pierced the night sky. I saw Mao Ping waving his hands wildly standing in the middle of the road. The car braked all the way and stopped in front of him, and then I heard a burst of hysterical cursing: "I fuck your mother, want to die!"

With the light, a big man jumped out of the driver's seat, holding a wrench in his hand, and came over to beat people.

Then I saw Li Fulian stumbling over and blocking the fierce driver.

After a negotiation, Mao Ping's shout came: "Chen Feng, Chen Feng, hurry up, let's take this big brother's car."

I responded: "You go first, I have to stay and guard the car."

Mao Ping cursed: "You dog-day, don't you want your life? Hurry up, throw the car here, are you afraid of losing it? Call a tow truck tomorrow."

I refused, saying: "You go, I'd better stay here and guard it."

Mao Ping shouted at the darkness: "If you don't go, I'll go, stay here and wait for death."

Then I heard a roar, and the car drove away.

I exhaled, they left, my heart calmed down a little. It's not that I don't want to leave, this is the car my aunt gave me, I can't just throw it in this place where no one is.

Fumbling to find a pile of firewood, I climbed onto the road, saw a figure standing by the car, was startled, and shouted: "Who?"

"It's me!" Li Fulian ran over, took the firewood from my hand, and walked to the car without a sound.

"Why didn't you leave?" I asked in surprise, stunned on the spot.

"Can you rest assured if you are here alone?" She threw a sentence at me, put down the firewood, clapped her hands and said: "Town Mayor Mao's waist is injured, he has to go back for treatment, can't delay. I'm fine anyway, so I'll stay and accompany you."

"I'm fine alone." I said, a warmth surging in my heart. In such a dark world, being able to have a life accompany you is the greatest happiness!

"Town Mayor Mao left his big coat, and also left you two packs of cigarettes and a bottle of wine." Li Fulian said faintly: "He will find someone to save us as soon as he goes back, don't worry."

I said "Oh," and the anger at Mao Ping running away alone turned into nothing.

"Go get some gasoline to light the fire." Li Fulian ordered me, she bent down, folded the firewood into small pieces, and prepared to light a fire by the car.

The fire was lit, shining brightly on the surroundings. People's bodies suddenly felt much warmer.

Li Fulian said: "Yellow flower boy, you still have to find some firewood, this little firewood won't burn for an hour."

I found a flashlight from the car, and took an iron rod, walking along the road to look for firewood.

Stepping on the snow, it creaked, a dry branch caught my attention, pushed away the snow, and underneath was a pile of dry wood.

This was wood cut down by mountain people in autumn, waiting for the next autumn to burn charcoal.

"Heaven doesn't cut me off!" I laughed, picked up a few pieces of wood, and ran happily to the car.

Li Fulian had already swept out an open space, took out the seat cushion from the car, and laid it by the fire. She was holding a small knife, slaughtering a wild sheep thigh.

"What are you doing?" I was startled.

"If you don't want to starve to death, that's it." Li Fulian didn't raise her head, cut a large piece of meat from the wild sheep leg, appreciated it carefully in front of her eyes, and praised: "It's really good stuff."

A few large pieces of wood were added to the fire, and the fire became much more prosperous, and the firelight illuminated everything around brightly.

"I'm sorry to have you accompany me here." I said apologetically, watching Li Fulian skillfully hang the meat on a branch and put it on the fire to roast slowly.

"Who told you to be a yellow flower boy." Li Fulian giggled: "If it were Town Mayor Mao, I wouldn't be willing to stay here."

Her words made my face blush, and she didn't see my embarrassment in the dark night.

"Seriously, you person, although you say you came out of the city, you don't have half a stinky shelf." Li Fulian said seriously: "You don't know, some people, relying on being from the city, seem to be higher than us, showing off their stinky shelf."

"What's worth showing off!" I said: "Everyone is human, whose ancestors are not farmers? Ancestors have all held spoons in the same pot, and they are all the same when they take off their pants."

Li Fulian giggled, covered her mouth and said: "It's still different when you take off your pants."

I was teased by her, and suddenly didn't dare to make a sound, so I had to accompany her and giggle.

"The beauty in your house today, is she your girlfriend?" She asked me, turning the wild sheep meat. The wild sheep meat had already exuded oil, dripping on the dry wood, sizzling.

"Yes, her surname is Huang, called Huang Weiwei, from the Municipal Women's Federation." I said, suddenly remembering that she was a cadre of the Chunshan County Women's Federation, so I smiled and said: "You are all family, don't you know each other?"

"How could I know? She is a cadre from the city, I am from a small county, how could I know." A layer of displeasure covered Li Fulian's face.

I hurriedly turned the muzzle and asked: "Sister-in-law, they all call you Li Fulian, what is your real name?"

Li Fulian was startled, cursed: "Who called it? These people who give others nicknames, all shouldn't die well." Turned her head and stared at me: "You are not allowed to call it like that."

"But I really don't know what sister-in-law is called." I said aggrievedly, a mischievous mentality rising in my heart. In such a quiet night, making a beautiful woman happy is a bitter pleasure.

"Can't you just call me sister-in-law?" She tilted her head and looked at me, looked for a long time, found my eyes facing her, and suddenly became shy, hooked her head, and said in a low voice: "My name is actually Li Lian."

I laughed: "No wonder they call you that. First, you work in the Women's Federation, and second, there is a 'Lian' character in your name."

"This 'Lian' is not that 'Lian', okay?" A layer of blush covered her face, and in the reflection of the fire, she was charming. ===== CHAPTER 327 =====

"This 'Lian' is not that 'Lian', alright?" A flush spread across her face, and under the reflection of the firelight, she looked charming and moving.
