C65 On the Way Home

A few seconds later, the car's headlights found the mysterious dark figure.

"Huh?"

However, at this moment, Brother Li seemed to have noticed something and couldn't help but let out a surprised sound.

In the middle of the muddy mountain path was a man wearing a black coat and a peaked cap.

He was tall and thin, with half of his head lowered. The black cap completely covered his face.

However, her hair was surprisingly long. Her jet-black hair was already hanging down to her chest.

"Looks like she's a girl."

Professor Li thought silently as he looked at the long haired figure in the coat.

A short while later, as Teacher Li's car got closer, his original appearance became clearer.

It really was a girl. Although her entire body was wrapped in a thick black coat, her slender white neck and somewhat pale fingers showed her gender without exception.

It's too late for a girl to be here.

Looking at the dark sky, Professor Li thought to himself.

"Whap."

With a slight sound, Teacher Li pulled the handbrake and parked the car not far from the girl.

"Miss, where are you going?"

Teacher Li rolled down the window, stuck his head out the window, and asked the girl not far away.

To her surprise, the girl did not answer her own question, but remained motionless.

Teacher Li was slightly stunned for a moment before he seemed to recall that there was an additional look of understanding on his face:

Indeed, this was a stranger who didn't have business in the village. A girl in her house was a bit vigilant when she saw a stranger take the initiative to strike up a conversation.

Fortunately, he wasn't a bad person.

Thinking of this, Teacher Li smiled, "Lady, I am from village Li."

"If it's along the way, I can give you a hand." As Teacher Li said this, he raised his wrist to look at his watch, "It's already past 7. Moreover, there's no such thing as a village without a store."

"Don't worry, I'm not a bad person." Teacher Li said.

To Teacher Li's surprise, the girl still didn't answer his question. She just stood dumbly in the middle of the road like a puppet.

Just when Teacher Li was getting impatient, the girl suddenly nodded her head, stretched out her white fingers and raised her peaked cap.

A pale, bloodless face instantly appeared in Teacher Li's sight.

"Thank you."

The young lady's red lips slightly parted as she spoke in a leisurely manner.

"It's fine. Come up and take a seat."

Professor Li smiled kindly and told the girl to get in the car quickly.

"Yes."

The girl nodded and walked towards the car. However, her way of walking was very strange.

As his legs moved, he swayed a bit. It was as if he was floating in the air, and his entire body was floating gently.

Although Mr. Li was puzzled, he did not think too much about it. He mumbled to himself as he opened the passenger door.

"Whap."

A few minutes later, the girl had already gotten into the car. She stretched out her hand and closed the door.

Then he lowered his head again and said nothing.

Seeing the girl so taciturn, Teacher Li did not say anything. He opened his mouth and smiled, then started the car.

"Boom …"

With a low rumble, the car once again drove on the muddy road.

At this moment, the outside of the window had already become completely dark. Aside from the tall and dense forest, there was almost no one else, not to mention a single person.

"Whap."

Following a small sound, Teacher Li turned on the headlights and carefully drove forward.

"Sha..."

A gust of wind blew past, rustling the surrounding trees. A few of the trees in the surroundings swayed non-stop, giving off an eerie feeling.

Teacher Li originally wanted to talk to the girl, but when he saw that the girl's head was buried in her clothes, he gave up on that idea.

However, a moment later, Teacher Li suddenly felt a gust of cold wind blowing on his body.

Strange.

The surrounding windows were all closed, so why did he get into the cold wind?

Teacher Li slightly frowned. He wrapped his leather jacket tighter and slowly shook his head.

Perhaps it was his own psychological effect.

However, as time passed, the interior of the car became much colder after ten minutes or so.

"Si …"

Feeling waves of cold wind blowing over, Teacher Li could not help but shiver. Goosebumps also rose all over his body.

"Could it be that there's a leak in the car?"

A few seconds later, Teacher Li adjusted his glasses and looked around.

After a while, Mr. Li did not notice anything wrong with the car. He could only retract his gaze and focus his attention back on the car.

"Turn on the air conditioner."

He stretched out his finger and pressed the button to turn on and off the air conditioner.

"Whap."

"Boom..."

With a light sound, the air conditioner produced a low and continuous sound, and hot air began to float out from it.

After a few minutes, the car finally became a little warmer.

Sensing that the temperature had risen, Teacher Li heaved a long sigh of relief. His expression relaxed once more.

"Miss, are you cold?"

Teacher Li seemed to have thought of something as he turned his head to look at the girl in the front passenger seat and asked.

"No."

The girl shook her head and said softly.

"That's good."

Upon hearing these words, Teacher Li slightly nodded his head before opening his mouth to smile. "There seems to be some problem with my car. I'm guessing that there's a broken windscreen somewhere."

"Looks like I need to fix it when I return to the village."

As he spoke, he skillfully drove the car.

"Oh right, are you from village Li as well?" A few seconds later, Teacher Li asked casually.

"Yes." The girl nodded slightly.

"Oh." Teacher Li's expression turned to one of realization. "Then it's already so late. This trip is really dangerous."

"If I hadn't run into you, you probably would have walked back." Teacher Li said half-jokingly, "Next time, remember to give us a call."

"Yes."

"You're a student, aren't you? Is it because of the holiday that you went back to your hometown?" After pausing for a moment, Teacher Li could not suppress the curiosity in his heart and asked again.

The girl fell silent. This time, the girl did not fall silent. Instead, she acknowledged herself as a student.

Not only that, the two of them even began to chat.
