35-year-old Jiang Li was unmarried and childless, running her own small company with an annual income of several million, living a wonderful life.
19-year-old Jiang Li was pretty but brainles...
But he watched all the way and nothing happened.
Shen Changan was even better than he thought. Not only could he drive, but he also drove the car steadily.
If the driver hadn’t seen with his own eyes that the road was still as bumpy as before, he would have suspected that Shen Changan was driving on flat ground.
There are cliffs on both sides of the road. The driver was already terrified when driving, and now he was even more scared when riding in the car, so he clenched his fists.
The car drove into the Xiangxi area safely. The road here gradually became wider and the driver breathed a sigh of relief.
He had been feeling very nervous just now. Although he was not driving, he was more nervous than if he were driving.
Now that the car has arrived, the driver has the leisure to observe the local customs and culture.
This is a gathering place for ethnic minorities, but few people wear ethnic costumes.
At first glance, it looked like an ordinary village. The people here were no different from those they had seen before, in terms of height and appearance.
Jiang Li was originally very interested, but found out that this was just an ordinary village.
It's just because this village is in the mountains that it looks a bit desolate and dilapidated.
Shen Changan and Jiang Li got out of the car. Shen Changan paid the fare and said goodbye to the driver.
They arrived in the town and unexpectedly found that there was also a guesthouse here.
Now I finally have a place to stay. As for a place to eat, where there are people, there will be people doing business.
Although there are no decent state-owned restaurants, there is still food to eat.
Everything was much better than they had imagined.
The two of them first went to the town to eat a bowl of hot noodles. With warm food in their stomachs, their mood became much better.
After eating noodles, the two went to inquire about the news. They had to find Rejia Village first.
After asking several people, I found out that Rejia Village was actually in a more remote mountainous area.
Someone pointed them in the direction. The two looked at the high mountains in the distance with complicated expressions on their faces.
It is said that there is an entrance at the foot of the mountain, and the village is halfway up the mountain.
They were now very far away from the mountain and it would take them half a day to walk there.
Just as the two were frowning, they saw a truck slowly driving through the crowd.
Shen Changan noticed with his sharp eyes that this truck was the one they took when they came.
Shen Changan rushed to stop the car, and the driver stepped on the brakes, which barely stopped the car.
If he hadn't reacted quickly and stepped on the brakes in time, someone might have died.
The driver was still frightened and couldn't help cursing.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he saw Shen Changan blocking the middle of the road, and immediately closed his mouth consciously.
"Yuan, it turns out it's you."
Thinking of the cold and resolute expression on Shen Changan's face when he dealt with the road bandits, the driver was so honest that he didn't even dare to fart.
The driver took the initiative to open the car door, and Shen Changan smiled and waved to Jiang Li.
"I just saved your life, now take us there."
Shen Changan pointed in the direction of the distant mountains. Although the driver was a little reluctant, he also knew that Shen Changan was not easy to mess with.
They had helped him before, so he was sending them over now as a way of repaying their kindness.
They both got in the car, and under Shen Changan's guidance, the car quickly drove to the foot of the mountain.
Driving here was indeed much easier than walking, and they both breathed a sigh of relief.
It will take a long time to reach the halfway point of the mountain. I hope I can reach the end of the field before dark.
The driver stood by with a smile on his face and asked cautiously.
"Can I go now?"
"You can go if you want, but there is one thing you need to pay attention to."
Shen Changan's expression was solemn. The driver had a premonition that he would not say anything good, and his heart was suddenly tightened.
He wanted to turn around and leave, but he couldn't help but ask.
"What are you paying attention to?"
"We just offended some bandits. Maybe they will be waiting for you at the old place."
Shen Changan smiled slightly and said softly, the driver's heart was beating wildly, and his whole heart was pulled up.
It’s not that he hasn’t thought about this possibility, but because of the fear in his heart, he deliberately avoided thinking about it.
Now that Shen Changan suddenly mentioned it, he was frightened and panicked.
"Well, thank you for bringing us here."
Shen Changan turned around to leave, but the driver stopped him anxiously.
"What should I do if I really encounter bandits?"
"Either give me money or give me my life, or..."
Shen Changan paused deliberately when he said this. The driver was unwilling to give either money or his life. He was now eager to know the other possibility that Shen Changan mentioned.
"What else? You still have a way to save me, right? Can you please tell me?"
"Why don't you just wait here for us and go back together after we get down the mountain? No matter how many bandits come, I'll take care of them for you."
"No, that won't work. If I don't go back, I'll lose a lot of time and earn less money. I can't not go back."
The driver shook his head after weighing the pros and cons, and Shen Changan just smiled lightly, without any reluctance or threat.
"I've said this already. You're an adult. It's your choice what to do."
Shen Changan took Jiang Li's hand and walked up the mountain without looking back.
The driver was left standing there alone, disheveled in the wind. He didn't know how long they would be in the mountains or when they would be able to come back.
He was afraid of death, but he also didn't want to waste his time, so he was very conflicted.
Especially since Shen Changan didn't even try to persuade him and left so decisively, it made him feel uneasy.
The driver did not drive away immediately, but circled around the car continuously.
When Shen Changan dealt with the human traffickers, he saw with his own eyes how powerful he was.
Although the other side had more people and more power, they were still beaten to a pulp by him.
If you can leave with such a person, your safety will definitely be guaranteed.
The only thing that bothered him was that the waiting time was too long, which was a waste of time.
The driver finally got on the car. He couldn't believe his bad luck and decided to try it himself.
The driver made up his mind and immediately jumped into the car and left.
He was very nervous and just wanted to leave this damn place as soon as possible and never come here again.
The road up the mountain was very rugged and narrow. Shen Changan held Jiang Li's hand tightly and asked about the situation from time to time.
At first, there was a very obvious winding mountain road, but as you walked along, the road became narrower and narrower, and in some places you even had to cross mountains and ridges to pass.
Shen Changan usually travels very fast, but this time because he is unfamiliar with the terrain and has to take Jiang Li into consideration, his overall speed slows down a lot.
The mountain road was very difficult to walk on, and the thorns on the road would tear his clothes from time to time. Jiang Li was soaked in sweat all over, but he gritted his teeth and said nothing.
