Chapter 64: The confrontation between Lushan and Manba

“It’s finally here.” I could see the figure on the road clearly, and so could Lushan, who was sitting in the back seat. He couldn’t help but slam the seat heavily, and then leaned his whole body against my back, saying in a decadent tone.

Lushan didn’t say who was coming, but even a fool would know that the person standing here under the cold sky with a light rain was Manrenba.

My hand holding the steering wheel was sweating profusely, and my palms were clammy.

Lu Shan had described Man Renba like this. Although I was not afraid of him, I was always under psychological pressure. I was quickly calculating what I should do. According to Lu Shan, his combat effectiveness was on the same level as Yan Yi and the others. I couldn’t think of any way to deal with it for the time being.

The rain was falling in a fine drizzle. In the air and in the car, apart from our breathing, there was the monotonous sound of the wipers. The more I couldn’t think of a solution, the greater the pressure in my heart.

This Manrenba has not yet made a move, but just standing here quietly has already “provoked” the most sensitive and vulnerable nerve deep in my heart. At that moment, I had a crazy idea: why not step on the gas pedal and let the car rush past, killing him?

I thought that this was the only way out, and that this was the extreme that would make me crazy and extreme.

“Get out of the car. We’re going to fight. It’s not going to work in the car anymore.” Cheng Xin leaned against the car window and said lazily. At this moment, his stronger mental quality than mine once again showed itself.

I didn’t say anything. It was hard to get back together again, and I didn’t want everyone to die here. There must be… there must be some way out, right?

However, the situation did not change because of my anxiety, but rather moved in the direction of getting worse. Several wolves jumped down from the mountain, and then more and more wolves gathered around the figure in the middle of the road… Great, we are no longer in an advantageous position in terms of numbers.

“Stop the car,” said Cheng Xin behind me.

I took a deep breath and said to Chengxin, “No, Lushan, you drive, I’ll get out! Wait a minute, I’ll find a way to get you past and a way to save myself. Just remember to come to the so-called temple to rescue me.”

In fact, what do I have?! I don’t have any trump cards, but I am confident that I can use my secret skills to hold off the Man people for a while, allowing my friends to break through. After all, having a car is an advantage!

“I won’t agree to it.” Cheng Xin brother adjusted his glasses. Through the rearview mirror, I saw his expression was unusually firm. Tao Bai also shook his head, indicating that he did not agree.

Only Lushan, with trembling hands, took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, but he didn’t light it. His face was ashen and he didn’t know what he was thinking.

“I am the eldest brother, how can I allow you to agree or disagree! Lushan, come drive… Brother Chengxin, you must remember, as long as there is a green mountain, there is no need to worry about running out of firewood. Even if I die, I need someone to avenge me, don’t I?” I said loudly. At this moment, although the car was moving very slowly, it was only about 50 meters away from Man Renba.

The headlights could already see his figure clearly. I had never seen such a strong man before. He was probably two meters tall and weighed 250 kg, but it wasn’t fat, but large, hideous muscles.

In addition, I also saw clearly the calf next to him. It was clearly a big gray wolf, a real “big” gray wolf! It was just wearing a headdress that Tibetan girls would wear, which looked weird!

However, this wolf, who was very cold and humorous, made no one laugh, but only made them more fearful.

Facing my insistent words, Chengxin’s face was extremely ugly, but he had no way to refute it. He wanted to say something, but in the end he could only sigh and say, “Lushan, you go and drive the car.”

“No!” Lushan pulled off the cigarette in his mouth and refused with great determination. I turned and looked at Lushan strangely. For this Manrenba, isn’t he the one who feels the most fear? How can he…

“Chengyi, open the sunroof. I have a way.” Lushan seemed to have made an extremely big decision, and suddenly said to me with determination, his eyes no longer showing a sense of despair and fear.

Open the sunroof? Is Lushan standing in the car and fighting with him? I was confused, and I said, “Lushan, if you want to do something stupid, I won’t agree.”

At the same time, I stepped on the brake. The distance could not be any closer. We were only a dozen meters away from Manrenba. I could see the wolves with their fangs bared and their cold, green eyes. I did not look at Manrenba or the female wolf. I was afraid that I would not be able to withstand the pressure and would first collapse and then make an impulsive move.

“He’s still like this, he likes to mentally torture his enemies, he doesn’t easily make a move, he lets others fear him to the extreme first,” Lushan sighed, but there was no fear in his eyes, instead he looked me straight in the eye and said to me, “Chengyi, trust me, don’t delay, wait for him to make a move, it will be too late.”

I looked at Lushan speechlessly, and finally opened the sunroof of the car. Lushan suddenly stood up and half of his body stuck out of the car through the sunroof.

Behind us, the other two cars also stopped following Cheng Xin’s wave of his hand.

I sat in the driver’s seat, staring at the Man-ren-ba in front of me through the headlights. At this moment, his appearance was extremely clear under the light. He had a thick beard, big eyes like copper bells, and his eyes were about to tear apart. His eyebrows were like two brooms, messy and standing up. He had big nostrils and a high nose bridge, which was in a strange arc, like a half-moon.

His mouth was also very large, and his lips were a strange liver-colored color, but like a liver that had lost blood. At the moment, he was smiling as he watched us stop, but this smile was neither warm nor elegant on his face, and there was an inexplicable sense of bloodthirstiness.

The border is so cold, and the rain is so cold and drizzling, but he is only wearing a red monk’s robe with half of his shoulders exposed, and the curly hair on his chest looks like a butcher on a rainy night. I can hardly imagine that this image of a man would not scare the believers.

At the same time, I can’t imagine how Lushan could convince this cruel man, who could scare people to tears just by looking at them.

“Let us pass,” Lushan’s voice echoed in the carriage and on this rainy night, the request was straightforward, but the tone was weak, and I could even hear the tremor in his words.

He was trying to control his fear, and I whispered to Lushan, “Don’t force yourself. If it doesn’t work, let me get off the bus.”

“There is no no.” Lushan replied to me in a soft voice, and his voice was strangely flat.

Manrenba still maintained his terrifying smile, but his large bear-like hands began to stroke the ‘big’ gray wolf next to him. The big gray wolf rubbed against Manrenba gently, and Manrenba looked at the ‘big’ gray wolf at this time, his eyes full of tenderness.

This scene is normal. Families with pet dogs often have this kind of scene, but when I thought of what Lushan said, I got goosebumps.

When Manrenba turned his head back, the smile on his lips widened significantly, and then it seemed to be spreading uncontrollably. Finally, he opened his blood-red mouth and laughed wildly in the rain.

Lushan watched him laugh quietly, and I noticed that Lushan’s hand had already reached into his backpack and taken out the tambourine, which he held in his hand quietly.

Manrenba laughed like this for at least half a minute, then slowly stopped laughing, then stared at Lushan and said, “Tserin Dengzhu, you escaped from this plateau. Could it be that a person escaped, but left his wisdom behind? How dare you make such an unreasonable request to me? Do you think I will agree to it?”

Unlike the rudeness I had imagined, Manrenba spoke quite elegantly and was not irritable, but he was full of an indescribable cold and murderous intent, giving the impression that he was just having fun with his prey and wanted to tease it a little to add some fun.

In the face of Manjuba’s questions, Lushan was silent.

And when Manrenba saw Lushan’s silence, he didn’t rush to attack. Instead, he shook his head and said, “Dear Dengzhu, no, you can actually make many demands, except for unreasonable ones. For example, you can choose which method of death you want, and I will fulfill your request. But before that, I will decide how many days you will be tortured.”

When he said this, Manrenba’s eyes suddenly ‘brightened’, and the entire orbit was filled with excited glances, as if he had felt his emotions. The female wolf next to him also howled excitedly, but it was only a short howl, which made all of us feel dizzy.

“No, Master Manjuba, I am not making an unreasonable request. In view of your ridicule of me, I would like you to answer one question in addition to this request, which will satisfy me.” Manjuba’s ridicule did not make Lushan afraid, but rather, he became more confident.

But I felt strange. What gave Lushan such confidence?

Manjamba was as surprised as I was. He stopped laughing and stopped playing games with Lushan. Instead, he looked ferocious and said in a deep voice, “I didn’t come here to see you in a state of insanity, Tsering Dondrup! If you don’t have a reason to convince me, then I, who represents the punishment of evil, will have to take action.”

“Reason? No, what I’m going to give you is not reason, but interest!” As he spoke, Lushan raised his hand, which had been hanging in the carriage, and I knew what was on it. It was the drum! The drum that Lushan treasured!
