Chapter 87 Going Out for a Walk Late at Night

The BMW soon arrived near Yuxi Town, then turned right and went directly into the mountain.

They are not going to Yuxi Town, they are going to Bailu Village, which is affiliated to Yuxi Town.

But the location of Bailu Village is still dozens of kilometers away from Yuxi Town, and it is dozens of kilometers of winding mountain road.

"This is my first time here." Mr. Liu drove his BMW into the mountains. At this time, it started to rain lightly.

The rain was pouring, making the ground wet and the car windows wet.

The wipers on the windshield made an unpleasant sound and swept away the raindrops and fallen leaves.

Shi Ling was sitting in the back row eating tofu. He gave the kitten a small piece of tofu, but the kitten just sniffed it and turned its head away.

"This is also my first time to enter these deep mountains and old forests." Shi Ling said while observing the surrounding mountains.

"Why do you think Bailu Village lives so far away? Can't we move out?" Boss Liu was also puzzled. The navigation showed that there were still more than 30 kilometers to Bailu Village, which was too far.

Shi Ling said: "Maybe it has some intangible cultural heritage."

Boss Liu yawned and said, "I'm afraid it will be too late by the time we get to Bailu Village. We will have to stay overnight at a fellow villager's house in Bailu Village."

Shi Ling searched on the Qiandu map and found that there was a hotel in Bailu Village. He said: "It seems that it is not an ordinary mountain village. Let's go in first."

No matter how far it is in the mountains and old forests, it can still be considered a road. As long as the road is built, the conditions will not be so bad.

The BMW buzzed as they kept moving forward, and then after walking for more than ten kilometers, a siren suddenly sounded inside the BMW.

Boss Liu's face darkened: "No, this sound is the engine alarm. It sounded once not long ago."

Shi Ling asked: "Then you didn't go to check?"

"No, it's an old car. It will be scrapped after another year of driving. I don't need to repair it." The more Mr. Liu talked about it, the more he felt guilty.

You said there would be no problem sooner or later, but it happened in this deep mountain and old forest, and it happened when there was a strange cat in the car.

Boss Liu immediately pulled over and opened the front hood of the car to check, but he couldn't find anything.

"It's over, brother, this car can't leave. If we leave again, it will be in danger for you and me." Boss Liu scratched his head with a severely receding hairline.

Shi Ling looked at the sky. It was getting late now, and this was a place with no access to villages or shops. This situation was very troublesome.

Fortunately, the car alarms itself. If something goes wrong while driving, it's over.

Boss Liu took out his mobile phone and dialed the number of the car repair shop.

‘Yes, that’s right. On the road from Yuxi Town to Bailu Village, which is about ten kilometers away, the car is not working. Find someone to look at it first. If it can be repaired, it will be repaired. If it cannot be repaired, it will be towed away.'

"Don't worry, money is not an issue. I drive a BMW. Do you think I can't afford it?"

"License plate number? Why do you ask for that? That's it."

"What? You don't want to repair anymore? You don't want to take this business? How can you open an auto repair shop if you don't want to take this business?"

···

Shi Ling could tell something was wrong from Boss Liu's anxious words.

"No one came to repair it?" Shi Ling asked.

Boss Liu looked ugly. He hung up the phone and said, "There's news on my car. Now everyone knows there's a monster in the car. Damn it, isn't it just a cat? What's so scary about it?"

"Meow~" the kitten in the car meowed, which made Mr. Liu squat on the ground with his head in his hands.

Shi Ling: "."

Then don’t be afraid!

"Let's get back to the car first. It's not safe to stay outside in these deep mountains and forests." Shi Ling asked Mr. Liu to get in the car.

Boss Liu looked confused.

Is there anything more dangerous than my car now?

It was getting late now, and I had no choice but to spend the night in the mountains. But the strange cat was here, in the car, so I was allowed to spend the night in the same car with this strange cat?

Isn't this too scary?

Boss Liu thought of the strange cat's eyes again, and for a moment, he was trembling all over.

"I'm going to have a cigarette and make a phone call."

Boss Liu took out his cigarette and walked away. This time, he didn't call the repair shop. He called his most trusted brother.

Boss Liu walked away, leaving only Shi Ling and Xiaomao. The BMW sensed that it was dark, and its lights turned on by themselves, illuminating the road ahead.

On the horizon, a blue light appeared, that was the blue moon that was about to rise.

Shi Ling touched the kitten's head: "You won't be hungry if you don't eat anything, right?"

The kitten was lying quietly in the car, seemingly harmless, and Shi Ling didn't understand why others were afraid of the kitten.

Not long after, a long shadow appeared on the road ahead.

Shi Ling thought it was Boss Liu who was back, but as the shadow approached tremblingly, Shi Ling felt something was wrong.

Boss Liu is only middle-aged, so he is not in such a stumbling state.

Mao Mao raised his head and glanced ahead, while Shi Ling got out of the car directly.

He carried his snow blower with him. At this moment, he took out his snow blower and walked up.

When he walked in, Shi Ling discovered that he was an old man with a cane in his hand, a straw hat on his head, and a sheepskin coat on his body.

When the old man saw Shi Ling, he took the lead and said, "Young man, why are you wandering around on this mountain at this late hour?"

Shi Ling still wanted to ask the other party, old man, why are you walking outside alone this late at night?

"The car broke down. I can only sleep here for one night and leave tomorrow morning."

The old man suddenly realized: "Oh, I was wondering why there was a car parked on the main road. So that's what happened. I thought he was here to steal trees."

Shi Ling then saw the "Forest Ranger" armband on the old man's left arm. He asked: "Old man, are you a forest ranger?"

The old man nodded: "Yes, I am a forest ranger in Bailu Village. I have been patrolling in these mountains and forests for many years. However, these years are not like the previous years. Everyone uses electricity and gas. Few people come to steal trees. I just walk around and exercise."

Shi Ling was puzzled: "Walk out at night?"

The old man grinned: "Will thieves steal trees during the day? Then they must come at night."

Shi Ling scratched the back of his head, that's right.

He always felt that there was something wrong with this old man, but he couldn't find anything wrong.

"Let me show you. I've repaired cars before." The old man continued to walk forward.

Shi Liang followed behind him: "Old man, what kind of car did you repair before?"

"Bicycles." The old man replied.

Shi Liang: ? ? ?

Repaired bicycles? But this is a car!

"As long as it's a car, it's the same." The old man walked in front of the BMW and knocked on the hood.

Shi Liang said: "Old man, this is not a TV. It won't be fixed by knocking."

"Hey, how can I not know? I want you to help me open the hood of this car." The old man knocked on the hood again.

Shi Liang: "."

It turns out that you don't even know how to open the hood of the car.

Shi Liang opened the hood of the car, and the old man stuck his head in to take a few glances, and then said firmly: "I know what's wrong with your car."

Shi Liang didn't believe it: "Old man, what did you see?"
