Chapter 45: A Dark and Windy Night
It was the first time that Jiang Ranran slept in such a big bed. She was so excited that she couldn’t lie down. She ran back and forth from the head to the foot of the bed several times.
"One, two, three, four... wow, can 12 people sleep in this row?!"
Xiang Nuan looked at him, feeling both amused and relieved.
It's OK. He was not scared away by the simple environment. He didn't become arrogant despite being pampered. It can be seen that his daily family education is still online.
"What did you say to Honey just now?" Xiang Nuan asked while making the bed.
Jiang Ranran tilted her head, as if considering whether to tell her.
Tsk, you want to hide those little tricks of yours from me?
"Let me guess. Did you tell her that when the machine stops recording, she can pester her mother to secretly take her down the mountain?"
"You eavesdropped?!"
"Do we need to eavesdrop?" Xiang Nuan hooked her finger at him.
Jiang Ranran ran over unconvinced, but Xiang Nuan held her head and pressed it against the wall. Jiang Ranran was about to explode, but suddenly heard some noise and calmed down.
"I won't stay, I won't go to bed, I want to go down the mountain, leave now, anyway it's not recorded anymore, no one will know!" Hani's voice doesn't even need "walls have ears", it's simply a live broadcast.
"Her mother will come to me in a while to ask for help in sending them down the mountain. You just stay in the house and don't go out no matter what. Can you do that? I'll ask Teacher Huang to accompany you."
Xiang Nuan lowered his voice, with a mysterious feeling of "conspiracy".
"How do you know?"
Xiang Nuan pointed at the door.
Sure enough, the door of the compartment clicked open, and Liu Yunshan came out holding Hani, whose face was covered with tears, in one hand and the luggage in the other.
"Honey may be feeling a little uncomfortable due to the unfamiliar climate. I'm worried and have to take her to the hospital in town." Liu Yunshan's face was filled with anxiety and fatigue.
He is indeed a top star, his acting is so smooth.
"Oh, it's so late. It's not safe to walk in the mountains at night. What's more, there is no driveway here. We have to walk down the mountain."
"That's right. This child is the same. He felt uncomfortable during the day but tried to hold on. Now he can't hold it back anymore so he started crying."
It would have been fine if she hadn't said this, but now Hani's tears burst out again.
How can one person have so many tears? This person is better at acting than me. Jiang Ranran lay in bed, and the expression on her face was twisted into knots along with Hani's emotions.
"Let Mr. Huang see you off. He is familiar with this place and can take care of you."
Jiang Ranran looked at Xiang Nuan in confusion after hearing her suggestion. Didn't you say that you would let Teacher Huang accompany me? Why did it change again?
"No, and I can't." Liu Yunshan said with difficulty: "No matter what the reason is, I have to leave right after I arrived. Those who know about it think that I have no choice, and those who don't know think that we are being pretentious. It would be bad if it makes Teacher Huang worried again."
Xiang Nuan couldn't help but nodded. Sure enough, this excuse was perfect. All aspects were taken into consideration, and it could stand on the moral high ground. Alas, I don't know if Shen Sumei has watched this episode. She should learn this trick.
"But, we'll have to trouble you to walk with us for a while and help us light the way." Liu Yunshan looked embarrassed, but she didn't give anyone room to refuse: "It's not far, my assistant is on the way and should be here soon."
"It's OK, but... let me say I'll go to the bathroom with you guys, and let Teacher Huang stay with Ran Ran for a while. Otherwise, I'm worried about Ran Ran being alone in this wasteland."
Liu Yunshan obviously hesitated for a second, but she also knew that it was impossible to take Jiang Ranran out so late, so she immediately thanked him repeatedly.
Something is wrong! Seeing them finally leave the room, Jiang Ranran sat on the bed and felt inexplicably nervous.
She knew that she knew in advance that "Viper" would come to her for help, and she didn't let him go out... Would there be any danger?
"Mom, I..."
"Are you feeling very uncomfortable?"
Liu Yunshan became more and more anxious, as if she had made a ruthless decision: "No, we can't go down the mountain the same way, it's too far."
I won't say anything, I'll just watch you perform quietly. Xiang Nuan pretended not to understand what she meant and looked at her blankly. Is there another way if we don't go back the same way?
"There is a path at the back of the mountain that is much closer. The children used to go up and down the mountain from there. Now the situation is urgent, so we have no choice but to go there."
"Turn left? You mean walk along the cliff?"
"It should be fine, otherwise the students wouldn't be taking this road. Let's not further ado, let's do this."
Liu Yunshan didn't give any explanation, looking quite panicky, like a desperate person trying all kinds of medical treatment.
"Mom, I..."
"It's okay. Mom is here, and nothing will happen to the baby."
Oh my god, why don't you let the child finish what she said? She's not uncomfortable, she's obviously scared! No matter what she wants to do, she must be a ruthless person to not care about her own daughter. No wonder Jiang Ranran called her a venomous snake, which is quite appropriate.
"But Principal Wang said that the fence is locked."
"Let's go and take a look. Sometimes they say something is locked but it's just a fake lock. What if something goes wrong?"
No need to worry, since you've said that, everything must be ready. Okay, let's go on a journey on a dark and windy night.
"I'll go take a look." Jiang Ranran jumped off the bed and was about to look for Xiang Nuan.
"No, Hani may have had diarrhea for a long time, so wait a little longer. Is Ranran scared?" Teacher Huang stopped him and pushed him back to bed without saying anything.
She's not accompanying me, she's just watching me! What on earth is she trying to do? She was so mysterious just now, it must be something bad!
Jiang Ranran's little head started spinning again. It would take at most five minutes. If he didn't come back in five minutes, he would have diarrhea.
"Ha, we are lucky, right?! It is just a decoration. Look, it opens when you twist it."
Liu Yunshan was surprised and happy. She pushed open the door of the fence and hurried out.
After leaving the fence, the flat road ended and the ground became more and more bumpy. Xiang Nuan remembered that it was not too far to walk to the edge of the cliff, and there was a stone staircase that was only wide enough for one foot to go down the mountain. Although it was steep, there were handrails along the wall, so it was not difficult as long as you were careful.
"It's so steep, can Hani make it?" Xiang Nuan shone the flashlight towards the deep path.
"No, there's nothing we can do. This is the fastest way down the mountain. Mrs. Jiang, can you please light the way ahead?"
"Shouldn't the lighting be from behind?" Xiang Nuan turned around suddenly, and the flashlight shone directly into Liu Yunshan's eyes.
"Light the road, not me!" Liu Yunshan quickly stretched out her hand to block it.
"My intuition tells me that this road is very dangerous. I don't think Hani's illness will last until dawn. We haven't asked Teacher Huang yet. Maybe he has some medicine."
I’ll give you another chance, Xiang Nuan looked at Liu Yunshan coldly.
"Hani has had a weak constitution since childhood, and ordinary medicine cannot cure him... Oh, hurry up, Mrs. Jiang, there is no time to delay."
"There's someone behind you!" Xiang Nuan suddenly exclaimed.
"What?!"
Liu Yunshan was startled and almost jumped up.
"Oh, it's a tree."
"Xiang Nuan, you... can't be so scary in the middle of the night." Liu Yunshan really wanted to punch Xiang Nuan. How could she still be in the mood to joke at this time?!
"It's inconvenient for me to carry the luggage, so you go in front and I'll go behind to protect Honey."
"Okay." Xiang Nuan cleared her throat and shone into the bottomless abyss again. At this moment, a sentence emerged in her mind - there is a road to heaven but you don't take it, there is no door to hell but you insist on breaking in!
Let’s go!
