"I'll go and have a look." Li Yifan put on his coat and walked out the door.Zou Hao also put down the chopsticks in his hand and followed them out.

A thick layer of snow has accumulated on the roofs and roads, further reflecting the coolness and silence of the village.The footprints of the two people were left side by side on the snow, which was soon covered by fresh snow.

Li Yifan stretched out his hand to hold him. "Don't get lost again."

Zou Hao's fingers were so cold that he was about to lose his intuition, but they were suddenly wrapped by Li Yifan's warm palm, and accompanied by a slight numbness, the blood flow resumed.

At the entrance of the village, the minibus was parked at the bottom of the slope, and the roof was already covered with snow.Both front tires were flat, the car tipped weirdly forward, and the wheels sank clumsily into the snow.

"Someone must have punctured the tire." Zou Hao saw something strange at a glance.The road is flat and flat, even though it is a gravel road, it is a bit bumpy to drive, but it is impossible for both front wheels to blow out at the same time.

Li Yifan squatted down next to the front of the car, brushed away the snow around the wheels with his hands, suddenly felt pain, and frowned.A row of nails stood impressively on the ground, and the gleaming sharp ends were just covered by the snow.Li Yifan's fingertips were pierced by nails, and the blood dripped down the fingers, dripping on the pure white snow, which was particularly dazzling.

"Are you okay?" Zou Hao asked hurriedly.

"It's okay." Li Yifan hid his injured hand, rubbed Zou Hao's hair, stretched his brows and smiled. "You know you care about me. Let's go, go back."

The two turned around and walked back. The broken minibus was abandoned in the vast snow field, as if it would be buried by heavy snow soon.

"Did Qin Yan do it?" Zou Hao asked.

"It should be her. I'll find someone to fix it right away, and it will be there in two or three hours. We have to get out of here quickly." Li Yifan manipulated the phone skillfully with one hand.

Li Yifan's words at night, the strange woman's prophecy, and the car that suddenly broke down, Zou Hao had a vague premonition.He turned his head to look at Li Yifan, not knowing how to speak.

Li Yifan noticed Zou Hao's gaze, raised his head, and lightly pinched the tip of his nose. "Why, am I so pretty?"

"No, I'm just worried about you..." Zou Hao accidentally slipped his mouth.

Li Yifan was stunned after hearing this, put down his phone and walked over, holding his hand with great care. "Don't worry about me, you don't even know how good I am. You just need to take care of yourself."

Li Yifan lowered his head, and a soft but brief kiss fell on Zou Hao's forehead.

"Next time... let's go on a trip together." Zou Hao mustered up his courage, raised his head and looked into Li Yifan's eyes.He wanted to make a certain agreement with Li Yifan, as if this would overcome the coming danger and ensure Li Yifan's safety.

"Okay." Li Yifan's smile was a little more ambiguous. "Then I must eat you up."

"What nonsense are you talking..."

Zou Hao blushed, walked quickly back to the watchtower, opened the door and entered, only to find that everyone was staring at him.Zou Hao was stunned suddenly: "You...what are you looking at me for?"

"If you don't look at who are you looking at?" Zhou Yunling asked back. "Tell us, what have you found?"

Li Yifan just walked into the living room and answered for Zou Hao: "Someone buried nails in the snow and pierced both front tires. I have already contacted the nearest repair shop and will be there within two hours."

"It's all my fault for being careless and delaying everyone's schedule." The driver brother was downcast.

"It's okay," Li Yifan comforted him, "It's just a matter of time to ask Uncle Xu to make us another pot of milk tea."

"I'll do it now." Uncle Xu turned and went into the kitchen.

Just as the milk tea was boiling on the stove, the gate of the watchtower was suddenly beaten hard continuously. "Help!" the person outside the door cried. "Please, save my man!"

Li Yifan opened the door, and a woman in her thirties staggered in. She was dressed as a local peasant woman, her whole body was covered with snow, and the tears on her face turned into white icicles.

"What happened?" Li Yifan asked.

But the woman didn't seem to hear it, she looked around the room, her eyes swept over everyone's face one by one, and then she rushed towards Uncle Xu. "Master, sir, I know you can save my man! Please, please save him!" The woman wailed and knelt on the ground with a plop.

"What are you doing, get up quickly." Uncle Xu quickly helped the woman up, led her to the sofa and sat down. "Come on, have a cup of hot milk tea and talk slowly."

The woman began to narrate intermittently while crying: "My man went to the next village last night, and when he came back, he was possessed by an evil spirit. I was still screaming, but at dawn today, I couldn’t make my voice anymore, my breathing and pulse became weaker and weaker, and I was about to die. I heard people say that a group of people came from the chieftain’s watchtower in this tourist village. A blind old man who knows how to tell fortunes and exorcise evil spirits, I hurriedly braved the snow and walked more than ten miles to come here to beg you..."

After listening to Uncle Liu, he turned his head to the direction where Li Yifan and Zou Hao were standing.

"Tang Yun, Han Zhao, Brother Chen, can you go upstairs and sit down for a while? Brother Chen can go to my room." Li Yifan said. "We have something to discuss."

"Okay." Tang Yun's face was full of doubts, and she went upstairs with Feng Hanzhao and the driver.

When the footsteps faded away, Uncle Xu said, "I'm afraid I have to go for a walk."

Li Yifan nodded and turned to comfort the woman. "Elder sister, don't worry, I'll follow you there."

"Okay, okay, thank you." The woman held Li Yifan's hand tightly, a glint of hope flashed in her eyes.

"Master, I'll go too." Zhou Yunling said as she was going to get her coat.

"You can't go." Li Yifan flatly denied. "You and Uncle Xu stay with Zou Hao."

Hearing this, Zou Hao, who had been silent all this time, really couldn't bear the uneasiness in his heart.Li Yifan didn't even know what this woman's name was, where she lived, whether she was really a nearby villager, how could he follow her like this?

"You can't go either." Zou Hao blurted out.

As soon as the words came out, the other four turned their heads.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen." Li Yifan was comforting him in a low voice, when the woman sitting on the sofa started crying again, knelt down on the ground, and grabbed Zou Hao's sleeve.

"Sir, I beg you, please save my man... With such a heavy snowfall, I can't find anyone else..." The woman burst into tears.

"You, get up quickly..." Zou Hao was at a loss for the first time in such a scene.How desperate a woman must be to kneel in front of him without hesitation.She cried so sincerely that it didn't look like she was acting at all.Zhou Yunling pulled Zou Hao aside, Li Yifan and Uncle Xu worked together to help the woman up.

"Are you a resident nearby? Where is your home?" Zou Hao still couldn't help asking.

"My family lives in the second group of Jiri Village, just to the east of Gongzhu Peak. My man's surname is Peng, which is a common surname around here." The woman said, wiping her tears.

Uncle Xu nodded slightly. "There is indeed such a village, and I have met quite a few people with the surname Peng."

Zou Hao still wanted to ask more questions, but Li Yifan had already helped the woman to stand up. "Let's go, I'll go home with you now and have a look."

Li Yifan put on his coat, and before going out, he turned his head to look at Zou Hao for the last time, and raised the corners of his mouth. "I'll be back when the car is repaired. You wait here obediently."
