Chapter Forty-Nine That Tastes Extra Sour(1/2)

No one knew how much of what the driver said was true and how much was just bragging.

But even if I’m half-hearted, I can’t stand it!

We are walking on a mountainous road, which is winding and winding. It is already dark, and the road conditions are not good. It is still raining and snowing outside. If we really fall, who will be responsible?

At this time, they happened to arrive at a place. Gu Bei saw a few houses on the roadside, which looked like a small village, and he quickly called to stop.

"Director Yang, Brother Li and I will go down and take a look and think of other ways."

There was no thought of finding someone to repair the car in a place like this. What Gu Bei wanted to see was to see if he could buy a portable lamp or something and hang it on the front of the car so that it would have some light.

If it really doesn't work, ask the villagers if you can stay here for one night. Although the conditions are a little worse, it's still better than Gunshanjian.

"Go ahead, both of you, be careful."

Gu Bei agreed and got out of the car with Li Chengru. They didn't go far when they saw a supply and marketing cooperative in front of them.

But now it's dark, and the supply and marketing cooperative has closed down, with the lights dark inside.

"what to do?"

"What else can be done?"

Li Chengru said and stepped forward directly, slamming the door. Seeing this, Gu Bei quickly stepped forward to follow.

Now is not the time to be civilized and polite.

I finally opened the door, talked for a long time, and finally bought two flashlights from the sleepy-eyed salesperson.

Although this little light is not of much use, it is better than nothing, and at least it can provide peace of mind.

The car restarted, and Gu Bei and Li Chengru drove forward, one on each side, holding up flashlights to illuminate the road.

However, the brightness of a flashlight cannot be seen from the front.

Li Chengru still had an idea and suggested using a flashlight to shine on the trees on both sides of the road, because the tree trunks were covered with a protective layer of white dust, making them easy to identify.

On this dark winding mountain road, under the flickering dim light, the driver was still driving extremely fast. He showed off his skills and refused to give up. He did not slow down when turning, and even passed by in the middle of the road.

to support their large trucks with gasoline.

The group of people were so frightened that no one dared to speak.

I know there's no point in trying to persuade him. The driver is clearly a screw-up. He talks too much, and it's easy for him to get distracted.

The speed was getting faster and faster, and when he reached the climax, Gu Bei could still hear the driver's laughter.

For a moment, he suddenly felt like he was in a horror movie. The driver was a demon. If he turned around now, he would definitely see a ferocious face.

It was like a nightmare. When Gu Bei saw the bright light not far ahead, he knew it was finally over.

Finally, we made it to the destination of our trip—Huangshan Hotel—without any danger.

Look at the time, it's already past eight o'clock.

After getting out of the car, everyone calmed down for a while, and then they felt hungry. Shuimi didn't brush his teeth for most of the day. He had been busy fighting with the driver before and didn't pay attention at all.

Gu Bei was also very hungry, so he quickly went to the hotel waiter and asked him to make something to eat.

But it's not the peak tourist season, and the kitchen has already closed because there are no customers. When I finally called the chef and asked him for some food, he still looked impatient.

"There is nothing in the kitchen. The food hasn't been served yet, but there are some noodles."

“Noodles are good, noodles are good!”

A group of people were so hungry that they couldn't care less about the situation. It would be nice to have something to eat.

When the hot noodles were served, Gu Bei and the others really felt so happy.

While they were eating, the big truck following them also arrived.

The truck driver entered the cafeteria, and when he saw Gu Bei and the others, they shouted loudly: "Oh! You... are too dangerous. I was following behind, and I saw you were such a small bright light, and you were running so fast, and you were so dangerous.

It's still dark on the mountain road, I'm worried about you, you...you really dare to drive!"

If the driver who sent them up was here, Gu Bei decided to take that bastard out and sacrifice him.

Teacher Wang Chongqiu also joked: "Yes! Our driver is experienced and is not afraid of death. He dares to drive, and we will accompany him!"

After eating the noodles, the group of people packed up and went to bed. They were exhausted both physically and mentally from the torturous journey.

The next morning, the snow had not stopped. Although it was not heavy, it was already silvery white outside.

Gu Bei and Li Chengru went to the management office to discuss going up the mountain.

"You still have to go up the mountain in this damn weather. You have to wait for the snow to stop. If you must go, you will definitely not be able to climb the front mountain. The mountain road is long and steep, and it will be even harder to walk if it snows. If you go up the back mountain, you can

We’ll take you halfway up the mountain in a car, and you’ll have to climb up the rest of the way.”

After understanding it, Gu Bei went to report to director Yang Jie. After a group discussion, they decided to go to the back mountain.

The first half of the journey was smooth. We quickly reached the halfway point of the mountain and could not go any further. The group got out of the car and prepared to climb the mountain in high spirits.

This group of people are either natives of the capital or have settled in the capital all year round. The mountains they have climbed are Xiangshan and Xishan, and no one has climbed a truly decent mountain.

Although Huangshan is not among the Five Mountains, it is still a famous mountain in the world. You can imagine everyone's excitement when they have the opportunity to climb it in person.

However, Huangshan soon let the group know how powerful it was.

At first, everyone was in high spirits, but gradually the only sounds could be heard.

The mountain road was difficult to walk, and it was also covered with a layer of snow. After a while, my shoes became wet. As I walked further up, my clothes also became soaked, and my body felt heavier and heavier.

"Xiao Gu, the people in the management office said there are still seven or eight miles left?"

Yang Jie was so tired that she was almost exhausted. Fortunately, there were two young men, Gu Bei and Li Chengru, in the team. Whenever they reached difficult places, they would support and pull her to reduce the physical exertion of the old lady.

"That's what people say, but why do I feel that we have walked more than seven or eight miles?"

Looking up, Gu Bei was also thinking, seven or eight miles away, why is it so far?

It feels like there is never an end.

Not to mention Director Yang Jie, who is elderly, even Gu Bei, a young and strong young man, feels that his legs are getting heavier and heavier at this moment.

I didn't even bother to look at the snowy scenery on both sides, I could only breathe heavily.

I wanted to take a rest, but there was no place to sit and there was snow everywhere.

Look at everyone again, no one has it easy.

Especially the lighting engineer Sun Yongsheng, who is in his fifties and relatively fat. He is still breathing and panting at the moment. He is no better than director Yang Jie.

Wang Chongqiu walked at the end, taking photos as he walked. This is what Gu Bei mentioned before, leaving behind video data of the scene.

Finally at noon, the group arrived at their destination - Beihai Hotel.

Unexpectedly, the hotel was empty, with no guests and no waiters.

When Gu Bei and Li Chengru finally found the person in charge of the hotel, they were very surprised that they came up the mountain at this time.

"Why did you come to Huangshan at this time?"

After introducing the situation in detail, the person in charge opened the room, but where was the food?

The person in charge told Gu Bei that it was the off-season and there were no guests on the mountain, so no meals were prepared.

It didn't matter that they didn't have anything to eat. Gu Bei and the others were wet all the way here. There was no heating in the hotel and it was cold everywhere.

Everyone was stomping their feet and rubbing their hands because of the cold. The person in charge felt a little sorry after seeing this.

"Let's do this. We'll find a charcoal pot later. There's still some charcoal in the kitchen. Let's grill it. Get some steamed buns. You can eat a little to fill your stomach!"

This is an unexpected surprise. I thought I would be hungry today.

Everyone was very grateful to the person in charge for making this arrangement.

Gu Bei and Li Chengru followed the person in charge and rummaged for a long time. Finally, they found a large charcoal basin and went to the kitchen to get some charcoal.

When he was at home, Gu Bei would often light the stove. Although it was completely different from the charcoal pot, he was able to light it after struggling for a while, and soon the charcoal fire was burning brightly.

A group of people sat around and quickly took off their soaked shoes and socks to roast them by the brazier.

At this time, the person in charge also brought the steamed buns. They were cold in his hands, and he just lit the brazier to bake the steamed buns.

It's a pity that there are no vegetables, and I can't even swallow the steamed buns!

What can I do?

"Teacher Sun, I remember that when you were in Nanjing, you bought a can of stinky tofu. Do you still have it?"

After hearing Gu Bei's question, Sun Yongsheng also remembered it. He quickly got up and ran back to the room with bare feet. After a while, he came back with a can of stinky tofu, not only stinky tofu, but also the leftover pickles from the previous meal.

"Fortunately, fortunately, there's still half a can left!"

When I opened the lid, an indescribable smell filled the air, but at this moment, no one felt bad. The smell...

It smells so good!

Attack them in groups.

This is great. The smell of smelly shoes and socks is baked on the charcoal pot, along with the smell of stinky tofu. Coupled with the smell of grilled steamed buns, you can imagine what kind of strange smell they create when mixed together.

The person in charge only stayed with me for half a minute before making excuses and running away. If he stayed any longer, he might have to explain himself here directly.
To be continued...
