Chapter 193 Kashiwa City is Our Root
After the two of them discussed it, Shang Ruoting came to Shang Guye and Zhang Wenfu.
"Uncle, uncle, we are going to go back and tell my grandma this news. I see your house is not in good repair for the time being, uncle is injured, and my little cousin is so young, why don't you leave with us first?"
Uncle Shang shook his head and said, "Thank you. Your uncle and I both have jobs in Bai City and can't leave. What's more, your great aunt and cousin's wife's ashes haven't been returned yet, so we don't want to leave."
Zhang Wenfu also expressed his opinion: "My father is right. Kashiwa is our root. We don't want to leave."
Shang Ruoting saw that the two really didn't want to leave, so she didn't force them.
"In that case, my uncle and cousin should take good care of theirselves. My grandma is worried about the news here, so we have to rush back and tell her immediately."
As she spoke, she took out twenty Great Unity notes from the space and placed them in Master Shang's hand.
"Son-in-law, this is a little gift from me to help you out in an emergency."
Son-in-law Shang refused repeatedly: "No, we can't accept so much money, you should take it back to honor your grandmother!"
"From what you guys are saying, you also plan to go south to visit your parents. You'll have more places to spend money then."
There was no reason for Shang Ruoting to take back the money she had taken out, so she stuffed it directly into the hands of Master Shang and took Tan Chen away.
The couple saved people as they walked until it was completely dark, then they both entered the space to rest, planning to continue their journey at dawn.
After a night's rest, the two came out of the space full of energy, intending to continue along the original route.
Just after walking a short distance, we saw more than a dozen Liberation trucks transporting supplies coming towards us, with a jeep leading the way.
Tan Chen saw at a glance that the driver of the jeep was Gao Ming.
"The road should be open now. I believe rescue workers will arrive soon and the people of Kashiwa City will be saved."
Shang Ruoting was well aware of the severity of the disaster and was not as optimistic as Tan Chen thought.
"I hope so!"
As the two were talking, a jeep stopped in front of them.
"Boss, sister-in-law, have you found the person?"
Shang Ruoting smiled bitterly and shook her head: "They left here more than ten years ago."
Gao Ming could tell Shang Ruoting was in a bad mood, so he consoled her, "Although I don't know who the boss and sister-in-law are looking for, it's better than dying in Bai City."
As he spoke, he looked at Tan Chen again, his tone becoming serious: "Boss, we received news that Bai City has been reduced to ruins, especially the industrial area. There are only a handful of survivors."
Although Tan Chen did not go to the industrial area that was most severely affected, he saw the tragic situation while helping with rescue efforts along the way.
He patted Gao Ming's shoulder and said, "Your sister-in-law and I are in a hurry to go back and deliver the letter. You and your comrades should pay attention to your safety."
Gao Ming saw them about to leave and looked behind him.
"Boss, even though the road is now open, there's still no train to Zhuang City. How are you and your sister-in-law going to get back?"
Shang Ruoting was just thinking about going back to comfort Old Mrs. Shang, and she actually forgot about the problem of the train not running. She was a little dumbfounded when Gao Ming said this.
Tan Chen had thought of this a long time ago.
"I plan to walk to the capital first, and then take a bus back to Zhuang City."
For someone with a military background, walking from Bai City to Zhuang City is not difficult. The only thing Tan Chen was worried about was Shang Ruoting, fearing that she would not be able to handle the journey.
If they walked to the capital, they would have to walk less distance, and Shang Ruoting would be much more relaxed.
Especially at this special time, Gao Ming was on a mission, and it was impossible for him to ask others to send him off. The best way was to go to the capital and take a bus.
If possible, Gao Ming really wanted to send the two back, but the current mission was important and he had to give priority to the overall situation.
"In that case, Boss and sister-in-law should hurry up and get on with their journey. Even though the road is open, it's still unsafe to travel at night."
Tan Chen had already calculated all this, and to take into account Shang Ruoting's speed, they walked
It takes at least ten minutes to walk a kilometer. Even if you take a shortcut, it will take more than a hundred kilometers to walk from here to the capital.
In this case, they would have to walk for at least two days, excluding the rest time.
Although it takes a long time, it is better than staying here and worrying about Old Madam Shang.
"Don't worry! I know what I'm doing." While agreeing, Tan Chen took out a few big unity notes from his pocket and handed them to him.
"I won't be attending Xiangyang's wedding. Please give him the gift money for me."
Gao Ming knew that given Su Qiaoli's recent behavior, it was understandable that Tan Chen would not attend the wedding. He took the money and said, "Don't worry, boss. I will definitely convey your thoughts."
Tan Chen nodded, said goodbye to Gao Ming, and took Shang Ruoting to the capital.
The original plan was to not waste any time along the way and keep on traveling.
But Tan Chen and Shang Ruoting are both kind-hearted people, and they will inevitably lend a helping hand when they meet people in need on the road.
Because of this delay, two days passed and they had only traveled half the distance.
Fortunately, as they got further away from Kashiwa City, they rarely saw people affected by the disaster, so the two of them could speed up their journey without distraction.
Fortunately, the two found a bus to Beijing on the morning of the third day.
After arriving in the capital, Tan Chen and Shang Ruoting did not dare to waste time. They took the letter of introduction, bought train tickets for that day, and returned to Zhuang City overnight.
