very close to the clouds

Chapter 11

The happiness of the two did not last long.

When the sunset was gradually replaced by the black sky, Jiang Zhongyu was sitting on the off-road vehicle and stepped on the accelerator desperately. The car made a huge roar, but the body remained motionless.

Jiang Zhongyu let go of the accelerator and said, "It's stuck in the sand."

Shen Yanbai, whose face was stiff with a smile, rubbed his face, and said indifferently, "Then what should I do."

"Maybe we have to push it." Jiang Zhongyu looked at Shen Yanbai, frowning slightly, "It will take about three hours for us to arrive at the foothold. If we don't hurry up, we may encounter wolves."

Shen Yanbai was thinking about his analogy to Jiang Zhongyu this afternoon, and laughed again with a "poof", and the point of the smile was hit again.

Jiang Zhongyu paused and asked him, "What are you laughing at?"

"...It's nothing." Shen Yanbai hurriedly cleared his throat, restraining his emotions, "Push."

Jiang Zhongyu looked at him.

Only then did Shen Yanbai come to his senses: "You let me go down and push?"

Jiang Zhongyu looked at the steering wheel, then at him, and said, "Otherwise?"

"I'm not going." Shen Yanbai didn't want to waste this time for such a huge off-road vehicle to push it, Shen Yanbai didn't want to waste this time, "I'll drive, you push."

Jiang Zhongyu didn't bother with him too much, opened the car door and jumped out.

Shen Yanbai was too lazy to go directly from the passenger seat to the driver's seat. He stepped on the accelerator, and the car made a loud roar again. From the rearview mirror, Shen Yanbai saw that Jiang Zhongyu was pressing his shoulder against the car body, and was trying to move forward. , but the car still remained motionless.

In any case, the fact that he would encounter wolves late really made Shen Yanbai a little jealous, even if he died, he didn't want to be torn to pieces by wild wolves, that would be an ugly death, so he also had some snacks, and stepped on the accelerator quickly.

"Boom" and "Boom" yelled for about three or four minutes. Shen Yanbai's buttocks left the seat, and the sand brought up by the tires covered Jiang Zhongyu's face. The car suddenly turned off.

An ominous premonition flashed in Shen Yanbai's heart again.

He turned the key, but there was no response.

Opening the car door with some guilt, Shen Yanbai looked back: "Hey, the car seems to be broken down."

Jiang Zhongyu didn't speak.

Shen Yanbai swallowed resignedly: "Jiang Zhongyu, the car seems to have broken down."

Only then did Jiang Zhongyu stand up straight, wipe off the sand and mud on his face, and moved closer to Shen Yanbai.He couldn't see his nose and eyes clearly on his originally clean face, only then did Shen Yanbai feel strangely guilty.

Shen Yanbai stood obediently aside like a primary school student, watching Jiang Zhongyu tinker with the off-road vehicle, running from the front to the back, and from the back to the front.

Finally, Jiang Zhongyu clapped his hands and came to a conclusion: "The car is broken."

"...Then what should we do?" Shen Yanbai was wearing a David jacket and white sweatpants, standing aside neatly and delicately, without even moving a finger.

Jiang Zhongyu said, "I have to find someone to pull the cart."

"Is it too late?" Shen Yanbai was stunned.

"It's too late." Jiang Zhongyu said, "So we have to rest here tonight, and the cart puller probably won't be here until tomorrow at the earliest."

"...Ah." Shen Yanbai asked, "Then where shall we sleep?"

"Let's just go with it." Jiang Zhongyu said as he opened the car door at the back, "Fortunately, it's not too cold now, otherwise I would freeze to death at night."

Shen Yanbai didn't have the nerve to say that this temperature alone was enough to freeze him to death who was afraid of the cold.

Shen Yanbai rubbed his cheeks.

"You wait for a while," Jiang Zhongyu shook the phone in his hand, "I'll find a place with a signal to make a call."

After Jiang Zhongyu finished speaking, he turned around and left. After walking two steps, he heard rustling behind him, turned his head to see that Shen Yanbai was also following behind him, and asked, "What is it?"

"I..." Shen Yanbai paused, "I'm with you."

Jiang Zhongyu came to his senses: "Are you scared?"

"Wh-who's scared." Shen Yanbai stared at him, "I have nothing to be afraid of, old man."

"Don't worry, it will be fine now." Jiang Zhongyu said, "I guess it will take a long time to find the signal, I'm afraid you won't be able to persist."

"What is there to hold on to?"

Jiang Zhongyu looked at him with a smile: "Okay, then you can come with me."

Shen Yanbai regretted it not long after he said this. Jiang Zhongyu didn't know where to find the signal, so he took him to walk around in the desert. Some places were not easy to walk, and his feet always sunk. An hour later, Shen Yanbai's legs started to hurt, and the skin on his heels was presumed to be worn out.

He didn't want to leave, so he asked Jiang Zhongyu, "Can I rest for a while?"

"Tired?" Jiang Zhongyu stopped, "Why don't you wait for me here, and I'll come back to pick you up when I find the signal later."

There is probably no one in this place for a radius of ten miles, and there is no other place to rest except for this big rock under his buttocks.Shen Yanbai struggled repeatedly in his heart, and finally stood up cruelly: "Forget it, I'll be with you."

Jiang Zhongyu glanced at his limping movements and asked, "Shall I carry you?"

Shen Yanbai suddenly raised his head to look at him, with strange emotions spreading in his eyes.

For Shen Yanbai, reciting this word was too ambiguous.

If Jiang Zhongyu was like him, it would inevitably make people feel that something was wrong.But Shen Yanbai quickly realized that Jiang Zhongyu was different from him.

People who don't even know about surfing or Vlogging, or even use WeChat, probably don't understand what he means when he says this.

Shen Yanbai threw away all the random thoughts in his mind, and said, "No need, I'll go by myself."

"Success, tell me if you can't go." Jiang Zhongyu nodded and continued to lead the way.

The two walked for another two kilometers and finally found a 2G signal.

I can't get online, but at least I can make phone calls.

Jiang Zhongyu asked Shen Yanbai to sit first.

Shen Yanbai looked around, but he didn't see any stones, and he didn't want to sit directly on the ground, so he shook his head.

Jiang Zhongyu glanced at him, dialed the phone, and told the person on the other end about his current situation, but his eyes kept paying attention to Shen Yanbai's direction.

Shen Yanbai's legs were in excruciating pain, he bent over and kept beating his knees.

Jiang Zhongyu suddenly took off his denim jacket, casually threw it on the ground, and signaled Shen Yanbai to sit down.

Shen Yanbai was stunned for a moment, and asked him with his mouth: "What are you doing?"

"Sit." Jiang Zhongyu replied to him.

Shen Yanbai paused, and after a less intense struggle in his heart, he resolutely sat down on Jiang Zhongyu's coat, and suddenly felt that his lower body had been liberated, and let out a long sigh of relief.

Finally he was saved.
