Although it was a little different from what they had imagined, they still arrived at Huang Yiyi's house in the afternoon.
Without lingering for long, after resting for two hours, they set off again amidst Huang Yiyi's reluctance.
Now there are only two people and a dog left in the car, making it look exceptionally empty.
Cheng Zhi held Liu Liu in her arms, stroking its fur back intermittently. Actually, its fur wasn't very soft, after all, it wasn't a real dog. But Cheng Zhi enjoyed petting it, and Liu Liu was willing to be petted, thus achieving a strange harmony between master and servant.
Yangzhou and Pengcheng are not far apart; if you drive fast, you can get there in the evening.
However, there were no experienced drivers in the car right now. Although Xiao Feiran and Cheng Zhi had also learned to drive, they didn't dare to go too fast. There were fewer cars on the road, not none at all.
After thinking it over, the two decided to drive a little faster because they felt it wasn't safe for just the two girls to live alone. They wanted to get home as quickly as possible without lingering.
It had been a long time since they last visited Liancheng, and this time they passed through in a hurry, feeling that the city was even more dilapidated.
There were hardly any people on the road because of the rain, and the streets were full of garbage. The houses were also filthy from the rain.
Seeing the scene before him, Xiao Feiran couldn't help but shudder. "I've discovered that Liancheng is the most apocalyptic city I've ever seen."
Looking at the scenery outside, Cheng Zhi couldn't help but worry about Pengcheng, hoping that everything in Pengcheng would remain the same.
When they were almost in Shenzhen, they parked their car on the side of the road.
Last time they had to pay protection money, so they'll definitely have to pay it again this time. Therefore, Xiao Feiran decided to move out the necessary items first.
They will still take Liu Liu into their space this time, because Cheng Zhi thinks the protection fee will definitely increase, so they will pay as little as possible.
Sure enough, when they drove up, the older brother knocked on the window twice and said, "12 kilograms of grain per person."
Cheng Zhi was secretly amazed, and immediately began to bargain, "Can we only pay with grain? What if we have fruit? Where can we find fruit these days? You must really need it."
Cheng Zhi wasn't just making this up. After all, they could use watermelons to buy guns before, so why couldn't they now? Asking wouldn't hurt her, so she decided to give it a try.
When the older brother heard that they had fruit, he glanced at them suspiciously, clearly not believing they could produce fruit, but he still answered their question, "If you want to hand over fruit, five kilograms is enough."
Seeing Cheng Zhi pause, the older brother chuckled and continued, "These days, it's difficult for someone to even produce two apples. Five kilograms is indeed a lot; it's not something an ordinary person can pull out. Girl, you just..."
After some thought, Cheng Zhi felt it was enough and immediately interrupted her older brother, "Okay, older brother, wait a minute!"
Now it was the older brother's turn to be dumbfounded. Wait, they really do have them?!
Cheng Zhi went into the bathroom, then slipped into her spatial dimension and took out the large box of oranges that was placed in the dining room.
The suitcase was so big that she almost got stuck in the RV's toilet. After a struggle, she finally got out.
Then the older brother was shocked. He looked at the two girls in front of him and realized that appearances can be deceiving. They actually brought out so much fruit.
After being weighed, they successfully entered Pengcheng. Xiao Feiran asked, "Why do we have to hand in fruit?"
Cheng Zhi, sitting in the passenger seat, turned her head and said, “We eat more staple food than fruit, and since there are more of us, we eat even more. Also, the ripening period of fruit is shorter than that of staple food, so I think it’s more cost-effective to pay for fruit.”
After Cheng Zhi's analysis, Xiao Feiran understood that Cheng Zhi was indeed very thoughtful.
By the time they got home, it was completely dark, and their car headlights were the only source of light in the vicinity.
They got out of the car, picked up Liu Liu, and stood downstairs, not daring to call out loudly. So Cheng Zhi, being particularly mischievous, picked up a powerful flashlight and shone it on Cheng Ye's window.
Cheng Ye, who was almost asleep inside, felt like he was going blind. He really wanted to open the window and curse the other person's whole family, but out of caution, he only opened a crack and peeked out.
Cheng Zhi had very sharp eyes and immediately noticed the trembling of the curtains. She waved her hand and called out softly, "Cheng Ye."
Cheng Ye upstairs: "..." Sure enough, who else in the world could be so mean? Only his dear sister!
After opening the door for Cheng Zhi, Cheng Ye was about to call her parents.
Cheng Zhi stopped her, saying that since they were already asleep, they could meet again tomorrow.
Looking at Cheng Ye in front of her, Cheng Zhi compared their heights and said, "Wow, it's been a few months, have you grown taller? You also seem a bit stronger? Xiao, look, is it just my imagination?"
Xiao Feiran put down Liu Liu, glanced at Cheng Ye, and it seemed that he had indeed grown taller. "He's only a teenager, so it's normal for him to grow taller. Why are you making such a fuss?"
Cheng Ye leaned against the wall and looked at his sister, whom he hadn't seen in a long time. She seemed to have lost some weight, but she was still full of energy and had even picked up a dog to raise.
"You're becoming more and more like a mountain king, you even have a mount now?" Cheng Ye's mouth was full of these kinds of nonsensical words.
Sure enough, Cheng Zhi beat him up. "You'll die if you don't argue with me for a day, right? I finally got home, and you didn't even pour me water, didn't bring me slippers, and didn't make my bed. All you do is go against me! I'm going to kill you today, and that'll make room for Xiao Feiran!"
Xiao Feiran, who was wiping Liu Liu's feet: "..." If you want to hit him, don't use my name!
