Chapter 248 Wet Fengcheng

During the two-and-a-half-hour journey, it was sunny in the afternoon before departure, but after arriving in Fengcheng, the sky was already gloomy.

It was only four-thirty in the afternoon, when the afterglow was supposed to be at its peak, but at this moment it was covered with dark clouds, as if a storm was about to hit.

After leaving the airport, the fog was clear in the lush and dense woods on the outskirts, and visibility was not high.

On the airport bus, there were only seven people including Ji Li and a junior driver.

The driver didn't want to talk to outsiders, and he spoke in local dialects, and even after a few small talk, he couldn't understand much.

After all, Chang Nian is an old man who has had a lot of experience. She and three women, Dong Yuan and Tian Xiaoyu, started talking to dispel the tense atmosphere.

For this task, the female clerk is at a disadvantage. After all, she has to carry a coffin into the mountain, which consumes a lot of physical strength, and she must always be vigilant about attacks by ghosts around her.

Tian Xiaoyu is not very old. He is just twenty years old and is still a student at school. He has never experienced such a thing.

The bus was traveling very fast on the road, and the cold wind blowing through the cracks in the windows from time to time and the strange noises it made made her nervous.

Fortunately, Chang Nian is here, including Dong Yuan. She seems to have a much stronger psychological quality than the average newcomer.

Although Dong Yuan's face was also pale, she still comforted Tian Xiaoyu from time to time.

On the other hand, Hong Fu, a guy with a unique appearance and great personality, also sat with Tang Duan.

There was no worry about the upcoming task on his face. Instead, he stuck his head out of the car window and looked at the scenery.

However, this made Tang Duan, who looked unhappy, feel even more depressed.

Tang Duan is the kind of man who doesn't like to talk much, but has a rather impatient temper. This is why he is thirty-five years old and has never been able to get promoted at work.

IQ aside, his EQ was too low, otherwise he wouldn't have scolded Ji Li as soon as he entered the hotel.

The front row was divided into two factions: the left and the right. Chang Nian and the three women were in harmony, but the two men, Hong Fu and Tang Duan, had some friction from time to time.

The quietest ones were the two people in the back row, Ji Li and Yu Guo.

Ji Li was still the same, wearing a windproof and strong windbreaker, but in a city where the air was filled with the smell of moisture, he felt even more clammy.

He couldn't understand why the air in Fengcheng, located in the mountains, was so humid even though Shanming City, which was close to the Hujiang River, had never been so cold.

Yu Guo was sleeping on the back of the chair. His condition had not been very good, and the bumps along the way caused his mental state to decline again.

Although he is much better than when he was at Tiannan College, he still looks sluggish.

In his sleep, he would frown from time to time. His two ribs were not repaired in the hotel. This time Yu Guo went into battle with injuries.

It took more than an hour to get from the airport to the city, and the wind became even stronger.

"get off."

It seemed that the driver didn't like to talk very much, or maybe he knew that his Mandarin was not very good, so his tone was stiff.

Ji Li stepped off the bus, and a gust of wind blew the hair on his cheeks apart. He came to Fengcheng for the first time and saw this legendary city.

However, everything in front of him was much simpler than he thought.

This is a very ordinary third-tier town. There are not many high-rise buildings. The streets are relatively clean, but also a bit old.

In the evening, there were not many people on the street. Those who had got off work had probably gone home early, and those who had not got off work were still busy working.

Overall, this is an old city with no scale.

There are no unique buildings, no ghost-like decorations, and no weird and scary atmosphere.

Perhaps, everything comes from people's imagination. No matter how special Fengdu is, it is just a city in the 21st world.

But Ji Li felt more and more the humidity in the air was rising, and it had begun to soak through his windbreaker, feeling cold.

He subconsciously wrapped his clothes tightly and looked around, but he didn't feel anything strange at all.

At this time, there are still two hours left before the mission starts at eight o'clock.

Yu Guo coughed in a low voice, forced a smile with a pale face, and stood next to Ji Li and made a small joke:

"It's been a long time since I broadcast live. I guess all the fans have gone away. Otherwise, this live broadcast of Fengcheng Adventure will be very interesting."

Ji Li glanced at him but didn't say anything, his face was ordinary.

Since Yu Guo found Ah Lian's whereabouts and had a direct purpose, he has not broadcast live again.

He understood that this man's optimism and positivity were all fake.

Yu Guo has always had a hard life. He needs a support point to force himself to go on. The so-called live broadcast is just a spiritual sustenance for him.

He warned himself that he could not give up. There were people watching his journey, but he no longer needed it.

Chang Nian came over with the other newcomers, and the seven clerks gathered together and stood at the entrance of Fengcheng.

In front of them was a stone beam made of green bricks and white tiles, with two simple words written on it: "Fengcheng".

"Let's go to Huaiyin Street first. I'm worried that the hotel is trying to play tricks. The coffins on Huaiyin Street are simply not enough for the two branches. There will be a lot of competition then."

Chang Nian's execution experience can be said to be second only to Ji Li. She glanced at her watch and spoke in advance.

Of course Ji Li had no intention of refuting. The seven of them got into a taxi and went straight to Huaiyin Street.

In fact, he felt that Chang Nian's worries were possible, but according to his thoughts, I'm afraid it wouldn't be that simple.

Through the arrangement method of Kyoto Mission Hotel, he guessed that the hotel would not set up such a low-level competition method.

Maybe the fifth branch has arrived, maybe they haven't arrived yet, and maybe the place where the fifth branch picks up the coffin is not Huaiyin Street at all.

It didn't take too long to arrive at Huaiyin Street. In less than half an hour, seven clerks gathered in front of a long street.

However, through the experience of taking the car twice, Ji Li discovered a characteristic of Fengcheng people.

They seem to be very exclusive, unwilling to accept outsiders, and don't like to talk much.

In the taxi, Ji Li and Chang Nian tried to talk to the driver several times, but were rejected by the cold face, and the few words they said were not good.

After getting off the car, Ji Li looked at this long street.

It looks even more shabby here, the floor tiles are laid irregularly, and some places are laid later, resulting in potholes.

However, Huaiyin Street is indeed a street of shops mainly responsible for funerals. Looking around, this row of shops are all placed at the door with things like incense, candles and ingots.

As the wind blew, the paper lanterns placed at the door of a shop were blown away, and a little boy of seven or eight years old stumbled out to chase after them.

After several attempts, he failed to catch the paper lantern. Seeing that the paper lantern was blown in front of Ji Li, he grabbed it, held it in his hand, and shook it at the boy.

The boy hesitated for a while before coming back, standing in front of Ji Li timidly, looking at everyone's face.

Ji Li didn't want to tease him, and after taking a look at the paper lantern, he gave it back to him.

The boy was about to run away with the lantern in his arms, but Ji Li grabbed him with his backhand. The boy immediately struggled desperately and shouted.

Not long after, an old man with wrinkles on his face came out of the shop with a cane and ran angrily towards Ji Li and his group.

Ji Li wanted to ask the boy something, but he didn't expect it to be counterproductive. However, with an adult present, it was easier for him to do things.

As soon as the old man came up, he pointed at Ji Li and the others and scolded them, but he didn't understand much of the local dialect.

However, it can be seen that the local people are quite tough. A thin and dry old man dared to scold them mercilessly in front of a group of people.

Ji Li didn't say much and was too lazy to listen. He didn't want to bully the lonely old couple and walked straight into the store.

For coffins, it doesn't matter where you choose or what you choose.
