Every day is one step closer to reality

After talking to Feng Yi, Feng Chi lay on the sofa a little bored.

I feel a little uncomfortable when I suddenly have some free time after a busy day of work.

Turn on the TV and enjoy the recent high-quality or inferior masterpieces of seniors and juniors in the industry. Then pick up your mobile phone and browse to see what netizens are talking about you.

The negative comments are swept away, and the fun and jokes are read one by one.

Then Feng Chi made himself a simple dinner. Since Feng Yi wouldn't be here today, he planned to eat early and rest early.

While eating, Feng Chi thought of something, took out his phone again, switched accounts, and looked through several unread emails in it.

There happened to be a new one received today, click on it.

In fact, this email did not contain much secret information. It was just a menu, a few dishes listed, and a few brief descriptions related to the diet. That's all.

But Feng Chi was looking through it carefully.

This is what appeared on the old man's dining table at the old house today.

It is difficult to find out anything else. Even if the old man has less control over the family now, it is not easy to find out everything.

However, in terms of catering, we can still get some news.

There is a nutritionist in the exclusive medical team responsible for the old man's meals, but based on Feng Chi's research on the old man's habits over the years, the old man will increase or decrease certain dishes when he has some special mood swings.

For example, today's menu at Laozhai has added a plate of steamed bacon that rarely appears.

Except for entertaining guests or family banquets with a large number of people, when the old man dines by himself, roasted pork is rarely seen on the dining table.

Unless something happens, roasted meat will appear on the table with a sense of ceremony. As for whether it is cured meat, braised meat or roasted meat, it all depends on the old man's mood and taste at the time. The meanings are almost the same.

This sense of ritual may stem from some of the old man's business experiences when he was young. He used it as a kind of commemoration, and gradually formed a habit.

Even if you don't eat, or eat very little, when you are doing certain things, there will be an extra piece of roast meat on the old man's dining table.

Today, a rare dish of steamed bacon was added to the menu, and Feng Chi was a little curious.

"Tsk, has the old man done something evil again?"

Although he is old, the old man has been working in the local area for decades, and he still has some methods that are very scary.

"Which unlucky guy is being targeted by the old man again this time..."

Feng Chi suddenly paused.

Looking at the weather outside and the weather forecast on his phone, Feng Chi put down the tableware and called Feng Yi.

The call didn't go through the first time. The phone was busy and there was a call going on over there.

I waited for a while and dialed again, and this time I finally got through.

Feng Chi breathed a sigh of relief: "Brother, where are you now? Are you still at the expressway service station?"

Feng Yi said: "We just set off not long ago."

Feng Chi: "This is not a good time. The heavy rain is coming soon. Be careful on the road... Also, something is wrong over there, old man. I don't know what he is holding back."

He told Feng Yi what he was guessing and reminded Feng Yi to take precautions.

The old man's abnormality this time is not necessarily directed at Feng Yi, it may be something else, but a reminder will make Feng Chi feel at ease.

Feng Yi smiled and said, "I understand, you don't have to worry about me. It's going to rain heavily, so don't go out."

Feng Chi: "Okay, give me a reply when you get home."

End the call.

On the highway leading to Yangcheng, in the car, Feng Yi took his mobile phone, switched pages, and sent a few more messages.

Xiao Jia focuses on his work and has been paying attention to the real-time traffic conditions of each route on the navigation system.

The sky outside became increasingly gloomy. As we continued to approach Yangcheng, suddenly, the navigation screen showed that there was a traffic jam ahead.

I don’t know what happened, but that section was particularly blocked. If we continue walking along the previous route, we don’t know how long we will be stuck on the road.

"Boss, there's a sudden traffic jam ahead." Xiao Jia said.

There is also a hidden display in front of Fengyi's seat, which can be opened to view the navigation page.

"Change the road." Feng Yi said.

"Okay." Xiao Jia replied calmly.

Before they set off from the service station, Feng Yi said that the road might not be peaceful. He also mentioned several possibilities, one of which was the current situation. He had already decided which route to take in the future. Now it's just a matter of following the boss's choice.

As a result, their car exited the expressway ahead of schedule, and after a while, drove into a lane that was not very wide. Outsiders generally rarely go this way.

Yangcheng.

Feng Chi couldn't eat a steady meal, couldn't eat, couldn't sit still, and couldn't calm down in his heart. He always felt that something was going to happen.

He sent another message to Feng Yi.

Feng Yi did not reply.

Wait, wait, call directly.

Can't get through.

Feng Chi wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Clicking on the map on the mobile phone, I saw the congested red line at a glance.

There was more sweat on his forehead, and he didn't bother to wipe it off. He carefully checked the distance on the map and found...his brother shouldn't be there yet?

Changed the route and the signal is not good?

I called again and still couldn't get through.

Feng Chi took a deep breath and continued to study the map.

Compared with Feng Yi, who had been away from Yangcheng for several years, Feng Chi was more familiar with the old and new routes in and out of the city.

Includes country roads.

He was now checking the most likely path Feng Yi would take if he was not stuck on the highway and changed his route in advance.

The finger pauses on one of the areas.

There are some intricate paths over there. They are small compared to those spacious roads, but they can actually accommodate two cars walking side by side. However, the road conditions are more complicated. Occasionally, there will be some changes on the road, such as fallen trees. For example, when passing items left behind by villagers, etc., you need to drive carefully.

But if you are familiar with the road conditions there, you can actually enter the Yangcheng boundary faster than taking the expressway.

Feng Chi has walked there a few times, but he usually doesn't choose that route on rainy days.

In the current situation, he was not sure whether Feng Yi would choose which side, but he still wanted to make sure.

As a social expert, Feng Chi has a wide range of friends and knows many people. Feng Chi actually knows someone who lives relatively close to there.

Open the mobile phone address book and quickly search, click on a number.

"Hey, Ah Jin, what are you doing? Are you free now? Do me a favor..."

Feng Chi wanted A Jin to take someone to take a look at that area, or help ask relatives and friends who lived there if there was anything unusual there.

Ah Jin agreed.

It wasn't a big deal. Ah Jin still wanted to maintain friendship with Feng Chi, so he readily agreed.

After a while, Ah Jin called again, this time hesitating.

"I'm sorry, Ah Chi, something happened suddenly. We don't have time to go over there at the moment..."

After he made a few calls just now, he found out that something would indeed happen at the place Feng Chi mentioned. Someone noticed the direction of the wind and prevented everyone from going that way. The elders in the family also warned not to go there no matter what they heard!

Upon hearing this, A Jin, who originally wanted to show some loyalty, immediately made a decision and apologized to Feng Chi.

At this time and in this weather, trouble was happening in that place, and it made those senior people fearful. There were still people responsible for clearing the place, but he didn't have the guts to go there!

They didn’t even dare to get closer to take a look!

In this weather, you can still peek even if there is no rain. If it rains heavily, what can you see from a little distance?

If you are too far away, you cannot see it; if you are too close, your life will be in danger.

It's better to stay at home and wait and see.

the other side.

The car that Feng Yi and the others were in was driving on a country road far away from the town.

Looking through the car window, one can see the fields and fish ponds outside, but as the sky gets darker, everything becomes blurry.

The traffic announcement in the car has stopped, and the mobile phone signal has disappeared. Someone had obviously done something to set it up.

When the car passed a certain section, soon after it passed, someone put up a roadblock to allow the traffic behind it to detour.

In the car, A-Qian looked up.

Xiao A: "Boss, there's a situation."

Feng Yi: "Continue."

Xiao A’s face didn’t change: “Okay.”

The car did not stop immediately, and a hidden box on the driver's seat was unlocked for easy access to tools.

Ahead, there was a car parked in the middle of the road, and someone walked out from behind a tree or some shelter on the roadside.

There were people behind the car, coming from a short distance away.

The moving car finally stopped.

Boom——

Thunder sounded in the sky above.

Like a heavy hammer striking, the vibrating sound waves spread from the ears to the bottom of the heart.

There is an uneasy atmosphere all around.

Bang——

The heavy rain that had been brewing came.

The rain came quickly, and once it fell it was dense and non-stop.

The gloomy weather that was approaching dusk made the sky and the earth darker and darker.

The field of vision became blurred, the visibility dropped sharply, and the car's lights could only illuminate the thick rain curtains surrounding it. If you were a little further away, you couldn't see anything clearly.

Aqian, who was sitting in the back seat, put on a pair of black gloves.

This pair of gloves is not as soft to the touch as leather, and even feels a bit hard, as if there is metal embedded inside.
