Chapter 28
The snow on the ground was thick, and an MPV moved slowly forward.
"This one is printed," Mu Rong said.
Su Ming, driving the car, glanced at the car and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Take a rest first, I'll handle the rest."
"I'm just idling around anyway." Mu Rong put the manual into the cardboard box.
The same books were already placed inside the cardboard box, with the title "First Aid Manual" written on the cover.
"Sister, I've finished my homework," said the little boy who bore a resemblance to Mu Rong. "Can I play games for a while?"
Mu Rong checked it over and agreed: "One hour, set the alarm."
Mu's younger brother cheered, "Yay!"
Soon, the sound of a game filled the car.
Half an hour later, Su Ming saw the service area sign and drove his MPV in.
This is a small service area with a convenience store, a gas pump, a repair shop, and two rest areas.
There was only one dirty red sedan parked inside, with no one inside and not a soul in sight outside.
Su Ming guessed that they were resting in the room. Seeing that the curtains were drawn, he turned around and told Mu Rong and her brother to keep quiet after getting out of the car and to shout if anything happened. Then he stopped the car, opened the door, and let the two of them out before going to fix the vehicle.
After confirming that no one was in the convenience store, Mu Rong and his younger brother began piling supplies into the shopping cart.
Since Mu's younger brother couldn't use his phone, he got off the bus wearing headphones, pushed his stroller, and followed behind his sister, picking up the supplies he liked.
Unfortunately, the stock here is limited, and the choices are also limited. For example, there wasn't a single bag of his favorite instant noodles.
Suddenly he noticed his sister had stopped and was listening intently to something. He instinctively tried to push his headphones off, but she grabbed his hand and pressed them down.
He looked at his sister with a puzzled expression: "What's wrong?"
Mu Rong's expression was strange: "It's nothing, just listen to your music. Let's hurry up and finish this so we can go find your Brother Su."
Mu's younger brother said "oh" and stopped paying attention, his eyes continuing to scan the shelves.
Mu Rong glanced in the direction of the rest area.
The convenience store was a bit close by, and I could faintly hear adult noises coming from the room over there. Especially the man inside, he was making no attempt to hide it, so I didn't want to offend my brother's ears.
I don't know if it was intentional or not. Did they really not hear them start their car?
Mu Rong noticed a curtain swaying slightly, and her face flushed. She dared not look any closer and sped up her stockpiling to leave as soon as possible.
After Su Ming finished cleaning the car and even replaced the snow chains, Mu Rong and his younger brother had already piled up the supplies on the ground, just waiting for the car to be fixed so they could carry them up.
The three of them finished quickly, and Su Ming breathed a sigh of relief: "Shall we rest here for the night?"
Mu Rong glanced at his younger brother, who was still obediently wearing headphones and listening to music. The energetic rhythms were blaring from the headphones. Mu Rong confirmed that they couldn't hear anything from the other side of the gas station, and said, "No, let's just go."
Su Ming was puzzled and looked at him questioningly. Mu Rong glanced over there, rolled his eyes, and said something silently.
Su Ming was speechless. He agreed to leave, but only after Su Ming had put the manual away.
Mu Rong, holding the manual, asked, "Should we leave it at the convenience store entrance?"
Su Ming reached out his hand: "Okay, give it to me, I'll go."
Mu Rong dodged his hand: "It's alright, just keep an eye on him for me, don't let him run around."
Su Ming didn't want to force her to go in, so he watched her go inside and saw her return safely before patting Mu's head and asking, "Is the note ready?"
Mu's younger brother: "Alright, look!"
Su Ming: "Good boy." He took the note, carried a few buckets of oil to the roadside, and turned around to see Mu Rong carrying two boxes of supplies.
Mu's younger brother peered out and asked tentatively, "Can these things really be obtained by the people who need them?"
Mu Rong put down the donated supplies and said, "Yes, but please be careful. Okay, break time is over, go get your textbooks."
Mu's younger brother said with a pained expression, "I want to learn how to drive."
Mu Rong: "We'll talk about it when you can step on the gas while sitting down."
Mu's younger brother clutched his chest, feeling deeply wounded.
The MPV drove back onto the thick snow, large snowflakes landing on the tire tracks.
Looking in the rearview mirror, Su Ming saw that the red car was like the only splash of color in the world. As the MPV drove away, it gradually shrank to the size of a red bean until it was completely covered by the snowflakes.
On the same snowy ground, many people, unable to find shelter or supplies, were on the verge of tears.
Until they saw the supplies neatly stacked by the roadside.
Am I seeing things?
"There's oil! We're saved!"
"Candy! Sister, have a piece quickly."
"Oh, thank you so much, kind person."
"I will also place supplies by the roadside from now on."
"Is he an idiot? We need more idiots like him, haha!"
"Don't take it all, leave some, it might save another life."
...
One of them noticed a note attached to the supplies and took a look out of curiosity.
"I am doing this good deed entirely because someone else set a good example. However, I misjudged the person and caused her trouble, and I haven't been able to find out if her family is safe. I hope that, for the sake of the supplies, if you encounter a lady named 'Fang Xiaoyu,' please check if she is safe. If necessary, please help her out. Thank you very much."
"Alright, I'll be grateful for your kindness. Next time I see someone with that name, I'll lend a hand."
After saying that, he tucked the note into the vanity mirror above the driver's seat.
...
The care packages placed by Fang Xiaoyu, Su Ming, and others were claimed one by one along the way.
Everyone who sees the care package reacts differently.
But as the gift package was discovered and used, seeds of kindness sprouted and began to grow.
At this moment, Fang Xiaoyu, who was huddled in the car with a hot water bottle and a blanket to keep warm, was unaware that the number of lanes outside had increased from eight to twelve, thus unlocking a special area.
