C72 Crossing the River

Tang Rou's words made me a bit excited. Soon after, I announced to the fans that I was still alive. Moreover, tonight's live broadcast would be a completely new day. It would leave a bit of suspense for the fans to look forward to.

The fans immediately exploded into discussion. A small portion of them questioned me, thinking that I was lying. There were even more who sent me private red packets, asking me about the broadcast tonight.

In order to create a sense of mystery, I didn't say anything. I just kept on adding to the atmosphere, and before long, Tang Rou used her beautiful appearance and fake voice to hire a farmer's motorcycle.

After we agreed on the price, the two of us sat in the back seat and waited to get to the river.

"If you leave at this time, it would be dark by the time you reach the river. Do you want to find a place to stay in the nearby village? I have relatives to introduce you to, so you won't be able to afford it."

If I hadn't been in a hurry and didn't have the time to switch out, I definitely wouldn't have used this guy's car. I always felt that the other side wasn't too reliable, that they didn't have the simple aura of a mountain villager, but were instead full of ghosts.

I casually replied before I sat behind the man. This seemed to make the man unhappy and he coldly looked at me through the mirror.

I quietly reached out a hand and tapped Tang Rou's back twice. The two of us already had a tacit understanding of one another and warned Tang Rou to be extra careful.

Tang Rou didn't express anything and just naturally stuck close to my back. In addition, she casually wrapped her arms around my waist, which made it hard for me to stay calm. Right now, my clothes are quite thin, and Tang Rou's development was also quite good.

Although I was no longer the diaosi who had just started her relationship, this matter still made me unable to suppress my emotions.

The man in front rode the motorcycle very quickly. The road was bumpy and it felt like he was floating in the air. The pair of hammers behind him continued to strike my body.

Tang Rou seemed as if she didn't feel it. On the contrary, she hugged me tighter and tighter. A few strands of hair slid down my neck and into my clothes. My shoulders couldn't help but twitch.

"This guy has a problem."

Tang Rou suddenly stuck close to my ear, her soft lips almost touching my earlobe. This sentence immediately made me feel refreshed.

Just then, I was completely immersed in the wonderful feeling Tang Rou gave me. I was absent-minded, so I didn't pay too much attention to my surroundings.

Hearing Tang Rou's words, I immediately realized that this man on the motorcycle seemed to be leading us around in circles.

Although we didn't run twice, but if we look carefully, it is indeed to stall for time. According to our previous estimates, we should be very close to the river by now, but the sky is already completely dark, and we still can't see the river.

I can't figure out what the guy on the motorcycle was up to.

Because we agreed to pay a hundred dollars for the river, no matter how far or how close the road was.

This place wasn't a place where one could take a taxi and still get more money after going around the city. What was this fellow's purpose for doing this?

"Bro, didn't you say we could arrive before the sky completely darkened? Why haven't we seen the river for so long?"

I asked loudly behind the man.

The other party did not turn around. It seemed that he hesitated for a few seconds before replying.

It rained a few days ago, so it turns out that the road is a little hard to walk, and I can only take you around a little. Actually, I don't want to do this either, it's just wasting more oil, if it really doesn't work, then you can stay at my relatives' house tonight.

The man turned to look at me.

"No need, just send us to the river. We don't need to worry about other things."

There was a hint of anger in my tone. The man must have clearly felt it. He didn't continue talking and sped up instead.

A few minutes later, I saw a river that was about a hundred feet wide lying horizontally not far from us. It was much more spectacular than what I had imagined.

"I did it out of good intentions. None of us boatmen would dare to ferry at night, and the nearest village would take at least half an hour to walk. Are you still going to stay here?"

After the motorcycle stopped, Tang Rou and I quickly jumped down from the bike seat.

I saw a few boats parked on the riverbank not far away, and a few sheds that looked like shipyards.

He took out a hundred yuan and handed it to the driver.

"Thanks bro, it's getting late, let's go back."

The other party took the money and coldly looked at me. His mouth moved, but he didn't say anything. He stuffed the money into his pocket, turned around, and sped away.

I could clearly feel that guy looking at me through the mirror. The fierce look in his eyes sent a chill down my spine.

"What a weird guy. I think he wants us to go to his relatives' house and complain. He probably wants to do something bad."

Tang Rou's words made me nod my head repeatedly. From the looks of it, that was the only possibility.

The world is much more sinister than I thought it would be.

"We can either seek wealth or kill ourselves. We can just be a bit more careful, but we don't know if there are any boatmen nearby."

Tang Rou and I walked along the river's edge. Within those small shacks, there seemed to be faint traces of light shining through.

If there really was someone, then the following matter would be easy to handle.

Arriving at the door, I didn't hear any sounds. Instead, I smelled a very fragrant scent of tobacco.

In the past, when they were young in the countryside, people in the village would always choose this type of dry smoke to smoke.

There had to be someone inside.

"Is anyone there?"

I shouted from the doorway.

Coughing sounds came from inside, and after about half a minute, the small wooden shed's door creaked open, and a withered face came out.
