"How many hours on the road?"

"Three hours." After Goblin answered, it took two seconds before he understood Mo Qing's surprise and said happily, "We have a high-speed rail now! High-speed rail! You know, it's much faster than a train!"

"..."

Of course Mo Qing knows about high-speed rail.

In the past six months, her understanding of the new era has been quite comprehensive.

However, it is one thing to know, but it is another thing to experience it in person. Such a long distance, which only takes "three hours", is indeed far beyond her imagination.

Ignoring Goblin's merry monkey, Mo Qing glanced in the direction of the station and strode over.

Goblin followed in a hurry.

——As if he is Mo Qing's subordinate.

*

On the high-speed rail.

Mo Qing noticed the stable and fast transportation and the clean and smell-free environment.

"How do you feel?" Goblin asked with a smile.

Mo Qing glanced at him.

Goblin quickly handed over an apple: "Would you like to eat it? It's been washed."

After taking the apple, Mo Qing fell back, folded her legs, and took a bite of the apple. She glanced around the car again, and paused at the silhouette in the first row.

There was a man sitting there, wearing a black brimmed hat and black clothes, with his elbows resting on the armrests and his knuckles slender and beautiful.

Under his seat, there is an easel and a backpack.

painter?

Mo Qing's thoughts flashed for a moment, and then he looked back.

"When can we arrive at Gejiacun?" Mo Qing asked, taking another bite of the apple and chewing it carefully.

"Tomorrow afternoon." Goblin guessed and said, "It's quite simple to get to the city, and then take a bus to the county. You have to take a shuttle bus to the town. There are no taxis in the town. We have to rent a car and drive it ourselves.

past."

Goblin raised his eyebrows: "Don't worry, there is a navigation system, we are not afraid."

Mo Qing rested his head with one hand, eating the apple absentmindedly, and glanced at the "painter" out of the corner of his eye.

Three hours later, Mo Qing and Goblin arrived in Yanmi City.

The high-speed rail station in the city is remote and desolate. There are taxis and motorcycles going out, and there are also people hanging around holding "accommodation" signs. When they see people coming out of the exit, they immediately greet them.

"I booked the hotel online and walked there for fifteen minutes," Goblin told Mo Qing.

"Um."

Although Goblin arranged everything well, he didn't expect that the hotel he booked was too far away and the navigation couldn't accurately locate it. He took Mo Qing back and forth several times, but Mo Qing finally looked at the navigation and carried Geblin.

Lin entered through a path and found the hotel.

Opening the door, the wind chimes sounded.

Mo Qing walked in and saw a familiar figure in his peripheral vision. He was wearing a wide-brimmed hat and carrying a drawing board. He walked up the stairs and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Accommodation?" asked the front desk.

"Yes." Goblin handed over the two ID cards, "We booked two rooms online."

After waiting for a while, the front desk quickly checked them in.

The environment of the hotel was very average, with poor sound insulation, a smell from the bathroom, and even the quilt was a little damp. Mo Qing simply washed himself, did not take off his clothes, and went to sleep directly.

After sleeping until about eight o'clock, Mo Qing got up and tidied up, then went to find Goblin.

Goblin was very quick, he got up early and bought breakfast, and called a car. After they had packed up, he got in the car directly, went to the bus station, and then transferred to a shuttle bus.

There is no need to buy tickets for the shuttle bus, and there is no seat reservation. You get on the bus when you see it, and it leaves when the time is up. The conductor collects money according to where the passengers go, and stops at any time.

The environment is also very average.

This was a state that Mo Qing was relatively familiar with.

It's a pity that Goblin rarely goes on business trips to remote places. After half an hour on the bus, he felt dizzy, nauseous and felt like vomiting. He slumped in his seat without any strength.

At noon, the car arrived in town.

Goblin got out of the car weakly and felt like his life was about to die. He was helped by Mo Qing to a noodle shop and ate a large bowl of noodles before he recovered.

The next journey was much smoother because Goblin rented a car.

However, this road was very winding and had many forks. Goblin followed the navigation and turned left and right. Mo Qing reminded him several times that he stopped going off the road.

It wasn't until night fell that they saw the shadow of Gejiacun.

The village is in an isolated place. Although the road is open and travel is much more convenient, there are not many cars along the way. Occasionally, a few motorcycles drive by, ignoring traffic rules and running rampant.

He saw the village from a distance, but Goblin drove for another half an hour before he saw the "Gejia Village" engraved on the stone tablet and the scattered rural houses clustered on the mountain.

"arrive."

Goblin breathed out.

Driving for several hours was the most difficult experience in his driving career.

The road was dangerous and he did not dare to drive too fast. He had to be alert at all times.

The journey was very long, he was the only one in the car with a driver's license, and there was basically no rest time.

Mo Qing slept in the car and woke up after hearing Goblin's voice. She raised her eyes slightly and tilted her eyes at Goblin: "What's next?"

Goblin took out his cell phone: "I'll call the village chief."

"Have you contacted the village chief?"

"Yes." Goblin said, "He posted a request for help online, and I contacted him as a Taoist priest. He gave me a detailed address and phone number, and asked me to call him when I arrived."

"oh."

Mo Qing responded calmly and opened the car window.

The breeze from outside blows in, and the air is fresh and natural.

She squinted her eyes slightly, then felt strange and suddenly opened her eyes.

The stars are vast, there is no moonlight, and the view is acceptable. This village seems to be integrated with the mountains and fields, and every house is like a standing ghost shadow, dark.

There are no lights.

There is no light.

In this era when water and electricity are available to every corner, in a village like this, at seven or eight o'clock in the evening, there is no light anywhere.

Even, firelight.

Not long after, Goblin finished a phone call and told Mo Qing: "The village chief said he would pick us up in about ten minutes. However, the car cannot drive into the village and we have to find a place to park."

Mo Qing responded: "Yeah."

"What's wrong?" Goblin noticed something strange.

"nothing."

Mo Qing's eyes narrowed, he pushed the car door open and jumped out of the car.

Goblin called her: "Hey——"

"Park your car." Mo Qing raised his eyes, said a few words, and then closed the car door.

"……oh."

Goblin agreed angrily.

…

The road was narrow, and Goblin got stuck on reversing the car and kept going back and forth.

Mo Qing ignored him and raised his eyes to look around. In this dark night, he scanned the surroundings and saw figures swaying one after another.

Her sense of perception is different from ordinary people, and her eyesight is better than ordinary people.

With a little starlight, she doesn't need any lights, her vision is the same as on a cloudy day, and her movements will not be affected in any way.

And now——

She clearly saw groups of people appearing in this dark and quiet village. They hid behind the straw in the fields, walked in front of the courtyard of their house, and stood under the tall pine trees...

They were observing her and Goblin.

Those eyes hidden in the dark make people feel extremely uncomfortable.

"I'm so stupid."

Goblin cursed.
