I wiped the cold sweat from my forehead and said, "I don't know either."
Yang Wei suddenly grabbed my hand, his voice trembling as he said, "Brother Chengzi, look, look..."
I was startled and quickly looked ahead; that woman had appeared again.
She stood right in the middle of the road, drenched from head to toe, cradling a bundle in her left arm while waving at us with her right hand.
Her face was terrifyingly pale, her eyes hollow, and her expression blank.
Yang Wei was terrified, his voice shaking as he shouted, "Oh my god, a ghost, there's a ghost..."
I hurriedly steadied the steering wheel, trying to avoid any accidents; after all, on this narrow road, if we crashed, it could very well cost us our lives.
Yang Wei's voice changed: "Brother Chengzi, hurry, pull over..."
I gritted my teeth and said, "We can't stop; if we do, we're dead."
I closed my eyes and slammed on the gas pedal, speeding past her.
Just as I let out a sigh of relief, Yang Wei suddenly burst into tears: "Oh my god, a ghost, there's a ghost..."
I was startled again; Yang Wei pointed at the rearview mirror and cried out, "She's... she's in the rearview mirror..."
I turned to look and saw the woman staring back at us in the mirror, a strange smile creeping across her lips.
I was so scared that I nearly lost control of myself.
Yang Wei cried out, "Brother Chengzi, we've encountered a female ghost; we're going to die..."
I gritted my teeth and said, "Stop talking nonsense; we won't die..."
I drove like a madman; although this road wasn't long, it was extremely narrow and unpaved, having fallen into disrepair over the years.
As I wiped the cold sweat from my forehead and gritted my teeth to keep the car from flipping over, Yang Wei suddenly screamed, "Brother Chengzi, listen, listen..."
I strained to hear; there was a baby's cry coming from inside the car.
I was taken aback; how could there be a baby's cry in the middle of the night?
Yang Wei started crying: "Brother Chengzi, there's a ghost, there's a ghost; we need to get out of here..."
I nodded and drove like crazy.
Listening carefully, I indeed heard the baby's cries—mournful and intermittent—very clear.
I whispered, "Yang Wei, did you hear that?"
Yang Wei nodded through his tears: "I heard it; I heard it..."
I searched carefully, but there was no baby in the car. Where was that sound coming from?
At that moment, Yang Wei suddenly exclaimed, "Brother Chengzi, look, look..."
I turned around and saw in the rearview mirror that the woman was staring at us, her eyes wide open and a strange smile on her face.
I broke out in a cold sweat. Looking ahead again, the car had already entered the highway.
I couldn't think of anything else and slammed on the brakes, stopping the car by the roadside. Then I trembled as I got out of the car.
Yang Wei and I squatted by the roadside, watching the cars come and go, our fear gradually calming down.
Yang Wei took a bottle of water from his backpack and gulped down half of it, panting as he said, "Brother Chengzi, is that woman human or a ghost?"
I shook my head, "I don't know; it's too scary."
Yang Wei suddenly threw up. He hadn't eaten anything that night, so what came out was yellow liquid with a foul smell.
I patted his back and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Yang Wei wiped his mouth, his face pale and breathing heavily as he said, "Brother Chengzi, I thought I was going to die from fright; do you know that?"
I forced a smile and said, "I was scared half to death too. What on earth is going on with that woman?"
Yang Wei frowned and said, "Brother Chengzi, tell me the truth. Did you do something wrong that made her cling to you?"
I shook my head, "How could that be? I've always run a restaurant; how could I have done anything wrong?"
Yang Wei said, "Think about it. Why does she keep bothering you? Don't you find it strange?"
I nodded, "I also find it a bit odd. Why does she cling to me instead of someone else?"
Yang Wei whispered, "And why does she always stop cars on that road? Don't you think that's strange?"
I nodded again and thought for a moment before saying, "Are you suggesting that the problem lies on that road?"
Yang Wei nodded, "I think the problem lies with this car."
I was stunned and confused as I said, "This car is new; how could there be a problem?"
Yang Wei said, "This car was in an accident before and caused someone's death, which is why the female ghost is haunting you."
I suddenly remembered that this car originally cost over 250,000, but I bought it for just over 100,000. At the time, I thought it was a great deal, but now it seemed like things weren't so simple.
I wiped the cold sweat from my forehead and asked, "Are you saying that the previous owner has issues?"
Yang Wei nodded, "I believe the previous owner definitely has problems, which is why they sold you a new car at such a low price."
I took out my phone and dialed the previous owner's number, but all I heard was, "The number you have dialed is no longer in service."
I put down my phone and said, "He changed his number."
Yang Wei remarked, "He must have done it on purpose. After selling you the car, he switched his number."
I nodded and said angrily, "Damn it, that bastard is trying to scam me."
Yang Wei advised, "You shouldn't drive this car anymore. Get a new job and sell this car."
I sighed and replied, "I'll think about it later."
After resting for a while with Yang Wei, we got back in the car and drove to the vegetable market to deliver the goods.
After leaving the market, Yang Wei and I went straight to the used car market to sell the car.
The used car market was crowded and noisy. When the owner saw me, he was very surprised. "Did you sell the car so quickly?"
I nodded and said, "Yeah, I don't want it anymore."
