“Puff!”
Jiang Li couldn't help laughing when he saw the serious Shen Changan.
"What if the wedding is delayed?"
"It's important to find my mother-in-law. If I can't make it back in time, the wedding will have to be postponed."
Jiang Li was so moved to see Shen Changan was so understanding and his words were so touching that he didn't say anything for a long time.
She opened her arms and hugged Shen Changan tightly into her arms, then stood on tiptoe and offered him a kiss.
When their lips touched, Shen Changan only felt a tingling sensation in his body.
He couldn't help but put one hand around Jiang Li's waist and supported the back of her head with the other hand.
Shen Changan turned passive into active, and he gradually deepened the kiss.
Jiang Li was breathless from his kiss and could only hook her arms around his neck, her whole body half hanging on him like a koala.
After the kiss ended, Shen Changan lowered his head and stared at the little girl in his arms.
Such a smart and lovely girl will marry him and become his daughter-in-law in just over ten days.
Shen Changan suddenly felt that his heart was filled with something, and a sense of pride rose in his body for no reason.
The two of them went back to their rooms to sleep, and their moods were not at peace.
Early the next morning, Jiang Li simply packed some things, and Shen Changan went out empty-handed.
Instead of going to work, he called his company to ask for leave.
"Jiang Yun, I have to go on a long trip for something important. These are my two babies. Aunt Li can't take care of them alone. Please help me look after them while I'm away."
Jiang Li held his sister's hand and looked into her eyes sincerely.
Jiang Yun felt that she was trusted and needed. She nodded slightly. Although she felt a little uncomfortable, she forced a smile and agreed.
Jiang Li saw her reluctance, reached out and hugged her in his arms, letting her little head rest on her chest.
Jiang Li rubbed his sister's long hair and gently touched her forehead.
"This matter is really important to me. Jiang Yi has to study every day, and I have to rely on you to take care of the family."
"Jiang Yun, you have grown up and can help me do a lot of things. I need you now."
Jiang Li asked again in a soft voice. Jiang Yun nodded vigorously this time, and even his smile was much more sincere.
"You're so good! I'll buy you some candy when I come back."
Jiang Li treated her like a child and doted on her, and Jiang Yun just loved it. She smiled, revealing her white teeth, and watched her sister and brother-in-law leave.
The place they were going to this time was quite remote, with many mountains and hills. It was inconvenient to drive there, so they could only rely on walking.
After Liu Deyou came back from his work, Shen Changan had already given instructions, and Chen Zhijun was doing his best to do this matter according to his instructions.
The two walked to the train station. The journey to Hu Province was a bit far, so Shen Changan asked someone to buy two sleeper tickets.
The driving time was also good, and they got on the car not long after they arrived.
This train runs directly from 8 am to 6 pm, a total of more than ten hours.
Jiang Li had a sound sleep in the car and hardly felt the passage of time.
After getting off the bus, they stayed in a guesthouse near the train station.
Shen Changan took her to have a sumptuous dinner, and they each went to the bathhouse to take a bath, and then went back to the room to lie down.
Under this circumstance, it would have been much more convenient to take the night bus, but this bus only ran at this time, so I had no choice but to depart during the day.
Jiang Li slept in the car all day, but couldn't sleep at night.
They have now arrived in Hu Province, but there is currently no train to Xiangxi, the place they are going to.
They could only take the train to Zhangjiajie, and then find a way to take a bus to Xiangxi the next day.
The whole journey is very tortuous and there are many modes of transportation to transfer.
Jiang Li thought about this until the second half of the night, and finally fell asleep in a daze.
The next morning, just as the sky was getting light, Shen Changan knocked on her door.
As soon as Jiang Li opened the door, Shen Changan took her to have a local specialty breakfast.
The local specialty is noodles. There is a state-owned restaurant near the guesthouse. Shen Changan took Jiang Li to eat a bowl of noodles, a box of dumplings and two bowls of soy milk.
Both of them were very full, and when they left, they bought some buns and steamed buns to eat on the way.
According to what Shen Changan had investigated, Xiangxi was very remote, and one had to be mentally prepared that there were no guesthouses or state-owned hotels.
The dry food they brought with them could last for at least three days. As long as they left Xiangxi after three days, it would not have much impact on their meals even if there were no state-owned restaurants.
After breakfast, the two got in the car that Shen Changan had contacted in advance.
It was a truck carrying goods, and they were both squeezed into the back cab.
Jiang Li opened his eyes wide and looked at the scenery along the way. The closer the car got to Xiangxi, the more mountains there were around.
There are many mountains and trees in western Hunan, and you can see some quaint stilt houses from time to time.
The entire route was a muddy mountain road, with very few passing cars and pedestrians.
The further in we drove, the worse the road became.
The car was shaking and Jiang Li was a little scared.
The driver was very careful and drove very slowly along the way.
From a distance, they saw a tree fallen on the ground. The driver stepped on the accelerator with a serious look on his face, and Shen Changan also frowned.
The surrounding trees were all fine, only that tree fell down suddenly. This situation was obviously unusual.
Shen Changan realized that this was man-made and they were likely to have encountered bandits.
Shen Changan has seen a lot of the world, but such blatant robbery is rare.
Shen Changan tightly grasped the dagger he carried with him, and when the car stopped completely, Shen Changan quickly pulled out the dagger.
The driver sat in the car and didn't dare to get out. Shen Changan gave him a look.
"Go ahead. I'll protect you if anything happens."
The driver received Shen Changan's affirmation, although he was still a little reluctant, but he still had a truckload of goods in his car and had to deliver it on time.
There is a high probability of encountering bandits when coming here, so the driver has prepared himself mentally before coming.
Now we suddenly encounter this situation, the cargo in the car is very valuable, there are high mountains and steep cliffs nearby, and this is the only road that can be used.
If he turned around and left now, he would have to pay compensation that he couldn't afford.
The current situation is that he is forced to do something, and no matter how reluctant he is, he has no choice but to do it.
The driver jumped out of the car with a sad and angry mood, and he walked very slowly for the short distance.
The driver kept an eye on the surroundings as he drove, and finally breathed a sigh of relief when he found that there was no one behind the tree.
The driver took a deep breath, squatted down and lifted the broken tree with force.
At this moment, a shiny dagger was placed on his neck and a cold voice sounded in his ears.
"Stand right here if you want to live!"
