After the boy said that, the temperature inside the car seemed to drop to freezing point, and the driver's face blanched.
"Just missing a hand?"
The driver thought that he had heard it wrong. He found it hard to believe that he would hear something like that from the lips of a seven-year-old boy.
His pupils twitched, and he involuntarily turned to look at the phone. The news did not describe the boy's cause of death in detail; it only mentioned that the murderer was cruel.
Due to that one sentence from the boy, the atmosphere inside the car suddenly became strange.
The driver's hands that gripped the steering wheel were soaked in sweat, and the woman in the passenger seat was silent. The boy in the backseat gripped the black plastic bag tightly, and there was a smile on his face that did not match his age.
Of the few 'people' inside the car, only Chen Ge appeared normal like everything was under his control.
He nudged toward the boy, and his voice was gentle and warm, but the content of his words caused the driver in the front to break out in cold sweat again.
"Still missing a hand? Then are the other parts that you've found inside this black bag? "Chen Ge looked at the bulging plastic bag." Can I take a look? After we get out of the car, I can help you look for them. "
"There's no need." Seeing that Chen Ge had turned his attention to the black bag, the smile on the boy's face slowly disappeared.
"Actually, we're quite similar. I'm also looking for something." Chen Ge picked up his backpack. His backpack was much bigger than the boy's.
"You're also looking for something?" The boy could smell the faint scent of blood coming from Chen Ge's backpack. He felt like something was wrong; this was different from what he had expected before he got into the car. "What are you looking for?"
"The things that I'm looking for are inside this car. When the time is right, I'll put them all inside the bag and take them with me." Chen Ge was like a bad uncle scaring a child. His tone was funny, but the boy sitting next to him did not smile. The boy could hear that Chen Ge was serious.
"Them?" Unlike the boy, when the driver heard Chen Ge's words, he almost used the brake instead of the accelerator and ran into the forest.
He felt that Chen Ge was implying that he wanted to kill everyone in the car and put their bodies into his backpack.
His mind could not keep up with the conversation of the passengers in the back. The only thing that could make the driver feel at ease was the woman sitting in the front passenger seat. In his eyes, the woman was weak and pitiful. If there was an accident, he would take the woman with him so that they could look after each other.
"The situation is very complicated now. The only thing I can do is to save more people in need while protecting myself!" The driver made up his mind. He sneaked a glance at the passenger seat. The pitiful woman seemed to have noticed something was wrong. She placed her finger on the driver's knee.
Chen Ge had no idea what kind of role he was playing in the driver's script. His attention was completely focused on the child next to him.
Since she had met him, she might as well make friends and invite him to her house.
The taxi drove a little further and came to a T-junction.
If he continued forward, he would leave Eastern Jiujiang and enter the county, and if he took another route, he would arrive at White Dragon Cave Tunnel.
"Which direction is your house?" The driver asked the woman in a gentlemanly manner. The woman slowly raised her head and pointed in the direction of the White Dragon Cave.
"White Dragon Cave Tunnel?" Those who had been in Jiujiang for a long time would know about White Dragon Cave Tunnel. The place was basically a cursed road. Accidents happened frequently, and there were many rumors about it. In fact, there were many versions of ghost stories about it.
The driver's face darkened. He forced himself to stay calm and turned to look at the boy holding the bag. "Little friend, do you still remember which direction your house is?"
The boy was not happy sitting next to Chen Ge. He pointed expressionlessly at White Dragon Cave Tunnel with his lips.
"Your house is there as well? Looks like you're from the same village. " The driver tried to find an excuse to console himself. He forced a smile and turned to Chen Ge. "What about you?"
"I'm going in that direction as well, but I advise you to stop driving. Let them get out and send me back to where the woman got into the taxi." Chen Ge wanted to protect the driver. If he got out with the woman and the boy, the driver might run into an accident on the way back. That was why he wanted to accompany the driver.
His intention was good, but the driver did not think so. Chen Ge gave him a very dangerous feeling. It was fine if there were more people, but if he was left alone, who knew what Chen Ge would do?
The more the driver thought about it, the more afraid he became. Chen Ge was taking a taxi alone into the wilderness at night, and he was carrying a backpack that reeked of blood. It was clear what this man was up to. "Forget it.
Since you're going the same way, I'll drop you off at the same time. " The driver sent his location to their company's chat group, but due to the poor internet connection, it was not successful. He slowed down and typed two more messages, but they still failed.
The taxi was full of people, but the driver did not feel safe at all. He wanted to call the police, but he was afraid that he might anger the passengers and make them do something irrational.
Just as the driver was worrying about this, an old man walked out from the T-junction. He was carrying a box of medicine and limped.
He looked like a herbalist. Eastern Jiujiang was surrounded by mountains and rivers, so the economy was not that developed. However, because of that, the environment was not destroyed. There were many kinds of animals and plants in the mountains, and there were many rare herbs.
Different from man-made herbs, wild herbs were more expensive, so the elders who stayed in the nearby villages would often go into the mountains to collect herbs.
The old man seemed to have tripped on his way down the mountain. His right leg was slightly deformed, and his shirt was torn by the branches. There was a blood stain on his pants.
He walked past the taxi and glanced into the car subconsciously. His eyes slowly widened, and he picked up his speed as he limped away.
Seeing the change in the old man's expression, the driver panicked even more.
He opened the window and wanted to ask the old man, but when he looked out, the limping old man had already disappeared.
"He can walk so fast with a limping leg?"
Feeling a chill on the back of his hand, the driver shuddered in fright. He turned around and saw the woman in the passenger seat placing her hand on the back of his hand.
"What's wrong?"
The woman pointed in the direction of White Dragon Cave, signaling for him to hurry over.
When the driver turned, Chen Ge also said, "Did someone pass by the car earlier? Who were you talking to? "
"It was an old man with a problem with his leg. He was carrying a bamboo basket. Didn't you see him? He even stopped beside our car for a while! "The driver's voice rose.
