Chapter 56 Something Feels Wrong

Because they were in a hurry to get back, Xia Keqing and Yu Hong didn't eat much in the morning, and they were really hungry now.

Hungry and thirsty.

But when Xia Keqing took the bottle of water and twisted it, she found that the bottle of water had been opened.

She immediately winked at Yu Hong.

Yu Hong understood and started talking to Master Huang, "Master Huang, truck drivers like you guys have to spend half a month out of the house, right? It's very hard, right?"

Master Huang laughed when he heard this. "It's hard work, but what else can a grown man do to earn money to support his family?"

Yu Hong put down the water bottle and asked, "Master Huang, how old is your child?"

"Four children, the youngest son just turned two years old."

Yu Hong: "It's not easy to raise so many children."

This sentence immediately resonated with Master Huang, "Isn't it? It's not easy for one person to support such a large family?"

This reminded Xia Keqing of some places in Guangdong Province in later generations where people believed in having many children and being blessed, so having a daughter did not count and one had to give birth to a son.

One is not too many, two is not too few, and three is not too many.

Master Huang had four children, but he only mentioned the youngest son. It seems that the first three were daughters.

Yu Hong: "The three girls in front?"

"Hello, my daughter!"

Master Huang: "What good is that? You'll be a cheap girl if you raise her up."

Yu Hong added: "With three sisters to help you, you are blessed."

Master Huang laughed after hearing this, "That's right."

As soon as Xia Keqing heard it, she knew she was right.

After chatting for a while, Yu Hong took out two packs of biscuits, two sausages, and two packs of milk from her bag.

Then he handed a pack of each to Xia Keqing.

Xia Keqing took it subconsciously.

But I was somewhat glad that Yu Hong brought some food.

Xia Keqing really doesn't have the habit of carrying food with her.

This cannot be blamed on her. The main reason is that in later generations, no matter where you go to travel, you can buy it as long as you have enough money.

Moreover, she gained some experience this time. She was so excited about buying clothes that she completely forgot about preparing food.

It was not until Master Huang handed them some water that she realized that the journey back by truck would take at least ten hours, and that they had to drink water even if they didn't eat.

"Thank you, Aunt Hong, you are so thoughtful. I forgot to bring any food."

Master Huang, who was sitting in the cab, heard this and said, "It's okay if you don't bring any food. I drive a truck all year round, and I always carry dry food in my truck!"

"There are noodles, do you want to eat some?"

Xia Keqing thought to herself, I just took a bottle of opened water from you, how dare I eat your food?

Thanks to her later education, Xia Keqing is very wary of outsiders.

In particular, it is common sense for almost everyone not to drink water that has been opened.

Relatively speaking, Yu Hong is more trustworthy.

"No need, Master Huang."

Yu Hong also said, "We, my aunt and nephew, have brought some food with us, so we won't bother you."

Xia Keqing didn't say anything.

Master Huang said, "Is it a problem? I have to stop the car and cook in a while, whether it's one person or three people. If you want to eat, I'll make more."

Yu Hong and Xia Keqing both said no, and Master Huang didn't force them.

Xia Keqing suppressed the doubt in her heart and thought that she was probably overthinking it.

However, she was still a little wary. When it got dark, Master Huang got out of the car, made a fire and cooked noodles. She quickly made an appointment with Yu Hong to leave someone to keep watch while she went to bed.

Yu Hong didn't understand what was going on, but she quickly reacted.

"Okay, then you go to sleep first. I'll watch you."

"You young people are really smart. You thought of this so quickly!"

Yu Hong looked grateful.

In her opinion, this truckload of goods is her entire fortune. If the truck driver has any bad intentions, all her savings will be lost. Wouldn't she fight him to the death?

The worst-case scenario is that Old Huang has taken a fancy to these two women.

Especially Xiaoqing, such a young and beautiful girl.

Even if she had to sacrifice her own life, she would never let Lao Huang hurt Xiaoqing.

Of course, in Yu Hong's opinion, Old Huang would not do such a cruel thing. It's just that driving a truck is very dangerous these days, and things like robbery are not uncommon.

What's more, there were only two women in the car.

So they have to unite, not only to guard against the truck driver Lao Huang, but also to be vigilant against robbers on the road.

Yu Hong thought that Xia Keqing raised this point for the sake of her own goods.

However, when you go out, it is basic to be vigilant.

Seeing that Yu Hong already understood, Xia Keqing didn't say much.

In the middle of the night, when she woke up, it was Yu Hong who woke her up. Yu Hong leaned close to Xia Keqing's ear and whispered, "Why do I feel something is wrong?"

Xia Keqing subconsciously looked outside the car. The truck was traveling at a constant speed. It was dark outside and she could hardly see anything.

But occasionally, when the car lights shine on the road, you can see one or two road signs.

"What's wrong?"

Yu Hong whispered, "Shouldn't we go from south to north from Guangdong Province to our Jiang Province? And it has to be on the east side, but isn't this place named in the west?"

Yu Hong didn't receive much education, but she has gained some experience in business over the years.

Besides, she was very careful and brought a map with her.

So she pointed at the map and talked to Xia Keqing.

Xia Keqing understood immediately after hearing it.

Although this is a world in a book, the basic logic is self-consistent and similar to her previous life, and the geography is almost the same.

They are heading west.

Is this Old Huang really up to something?

But because we didn't take the highway, the road conditions were not good in this era, and the route was not fixed. In case the other party denied it, or if they really just chose another route, we couldn't conclude that they had bad intentions.

However, when you are out, safety comes first. It is better to kill someone by mistake than to let him go.

If you wrongly accuse someone, the worst that can happen is that you admit your mistake and pay compensation.

But what if Old Huang really has ill intentions and sells them to the west? Then no one will be able to help them.

This won’t do. You must save yourself!

Yu Hong's hands were shaking slightly, but she tried to keep her voice calm. She lowered her voice and said to Xia Keqing with her lips: "Xiaoqing, what should we do?"

Xia Keqing made a decision immediately, "Aunt, trust me."

Yu Hong held Xia Keqing's hand tightly, and felt a little more at ease.

But I still feel unlucky.

It's not like she hadn't come to Shenzhen to purchase goods before, so why was she so unlucky to encounter such a thing this time?

But luckily she wasn't alone.

If it was really a person, she really didn't know what to do.

This is the inconvenience of her doing business alone as a woman.

If I had known this would happen, I should have brought her cousin along.

Yu Hong has been taking care of her daughter since her divorce. She runs a business and has to travel to purchase goods from time to time, so she arranged for her daughter to live in the school.

Her daughter’s school allows her children to stay in school even on weekends, so she feels relieved.

She can't rely on her mother's family, but she has a cousin who is a nice person and can help occasionally.

But after all, he is just a cousin and he has a family too. Yu Hong feels embarrassed to always trouble him.

Besides, since Xia Keqing already had company this time, she hadn't thought of inviting her cousin to come along. Who knew that such a thing would happen at the last minute.

It's really scary.

Now that things have come to this, there is nothing we can do except trust Xia Keqing.

So Yu Hong could only choose to believe her.

Xia Keqing is a college student. She has always been smart and will definitely be able to think of a solution.

The truck continued to move forward. Xia Keqing held the map in her hand and compared it with several road signs. She found that the truck was indeed heading west. However, after driving for six hours in a row, Master Huang also needed to take a break.

The truck stopped at a rest stop, similar to the service area in later generations.

Xia Keqing started making a fuss as soon as she got out of the car.

"My stuff is lost! My money is lost! And tens of thousands of dollars' worth of goods are lost! I suspect the driver colluded with someone to take them away! I want to call the police!"
