Chapter 167 The Road



After more than half an hour, Sun Xuefeng woke up and looked at the time. It was nine o'clock in the morning.

I sat up and saw Xiaoyu sleeping on a mat in the truck bed, and I felt relieved.

She was more tired than me, but she insisted on going to bed until this time. She really has excellent physical fitness.

Seeing that everyone else was eating and resting in the woods outside, I quietly got out of the car and went to eat something.

I slept for five or six hours, but I'm still a little tired. I've been sleeping at this pace for days and have gotten used to the intensity... I'm just hard, but I can't compare with Xiaoyu.

After washing up, Pei Ziqiu served him some slightly warm rice porridge in an aluminum lunch box, peeled a salted goose egg and put it in the porridge, and sprinkled some pickles on it.

It's really delicious. I slurp it up. I eat it with great relish and even finish two lunch boxes.

The rice porridge is thin and doesn't take up much space. The young man must have a big appetite.

Since Pei Ziqiu went to Sandagou to work in the countryside, he has been fully tempered over the past six months, like a flower that has experienced wind and rain.

Now cooking is very easy and efficient.

Pei Zhaojia and Tang Yuzhi looked at their granddaughter's energetic appearance, and their hearts felt as if a spring breeze was blowing through them, making them feel extremely comfortable.

They knew very well that their granddaughter must have suffered a lot while going to the countryside, but the child was in good spirits, and this was also an experience for her.

Their own dark days have finally come to an end today. It makes me sigh just thinking about it.

Even though we were sitting on the ground in the woods in the wilderness and eating, I felt clear and comfortable in my heart.

No matter how many delicacies we had in the past, they could not compare to the “roadside picnic” we have today.

Pei Yunshan and Pei Yunke, the twin sisters, have always had to help their cousin with cooking.

But they were too weak. Pei Ziqiu looked at their two pale little faces and asked the two sisters to sit down and rest, and put a washed tomato in each of their hands.

No one is allowed to ask for help. It's just a small job and you can do it yourself. Usually at the educated youth site, we work in shifts, two people in a group, cooking for more than a dozen people.

The family changed into clean clothes and now look normal. When I first saw that scene last night, it made me sad just thinking about it.

At this time, the forest was quiet, and the occasional bird song was very pleasant to the ear.

This kind of peace of mind is like a precious treasure that is not easy to come by.

Perhaps, the tranquility and peace at this moment will leave a unique and profound memory in everyone's life.

Seeing that everyone had finished their meal, Sun Xuefeng spoke up: "We can't stay any longer. We have to keep going for another half a day. The farther we are from Shanghai, the better... After driving a little further, around two o'clock, we'll find a place to stop and rest, and then continue walking after dark."

After saying this, he began to move, carefully helping everyone into the truck one by one.

As for Cao Baojiang, who was standing behind, he had no health problems and took good care of himself. Now he helped with more work and was responsible for cleaning up.

First, use water to completely extinguish the remaining fire to ensure that there are no hidden dangers left, and then help Zi Qiu put the cooking utensils back into the car.

Finally, the old man came to the front of the car, opened the door, and sat down in the passenger seat.

This will free up more room for others to be a little more comfortable in the bed.

After everyone was in the car, Sun Xuefeng returned to the driving seat with confidence, started the engine skillfully, stepped on the accelerator, and the vehicle continued to move along the road.

The wheels rolled forward, carrying the group towards a new journey.

Cao Baojiang chatted with him beside him, which made driving less tiring and also helped to keep him alert.

The old man is no simple person. He is as knowledgeable as Pei Zhaojia and can talk eloquently about history and economics.

He has been living in seclusion in a small village in the countryside for many years. Although his life is leisurely, he feels a little lonely. Now he has finally freed himself a little and likes to talk to young people.

Sun Xuefeng mentioned his father, who was also a teacher who graduated from a famous school in Beijing and was also sent down to a farm in his hometown. The old man sighed.

But when I heard him say that the leader of the evil farm was arrested and executed as a spy, and that his parents were fine now, just working on the farm and having family to take care of them, I felt relieved.

Sun Xuefeng did not mention a word about Xiaoyu, no matter how important or unimportant it was, but he did ask the old man many questions about identifying antiques.

The more the father and son talked, the more interested they became, and they learned a lot.

In this regard, Cao Baojiang and Pei Zhaojia are definitely extraordinary. After all, they have a good family background. How could the Pei family be without good things?

I just heard that a lot of things were smashed when the house was searched, which is such a pity.

I didn't want to travel in broad daylight. After all, it would easily attract other people's attention and I was afraid of being stared at.

When we were traveling from Liaoning Province to Shanghai, the situation was quite urgent. Because we were in a hurry to save people, we could only try our best to shorten the time spent on the road.

Now, we have to go farther away from Shanghai to be safer, so that we don’t have to rush so much later.

Young and old should take more rest time, and the same goes for those who drive, otherwise their bodies will not be able to take it.

All the people have been rescued, so it doesn’t matter whether they arrive in Hong Kong a day earlier or later.

Cao Baojiang could also drive. He would stop once during the journey to let everyone who needed to go to the bathroom get off and find a place to go. When setting off again, he would take the initiative to switch to the driving seat and let Sun Xuefeng rest for a while. They would drive like this until two o'clock and then stop in a secluded place.

This time, they did not walk in the afternoon. Instead, they came to the dense forest, stretched their limbs, spread mats on the grass, and lay down to rest.

Pei Ziqiu built a stove and cooked. He put in some noodles, poured some soy sauce to make soup, added some green vegetables and some salt, which was pretty good.

The tableware is aluminum lunch boxes and enamel pots, and there are quite a lot of them, so each person can get one.

Lian Xiaomin woke up, holding a tomato in her mouth, which tasted sour and sweet. She ate it while helping Ziqiu with the work.

After the meal, everyone rested on the spot, and those who didn’t sleep well continued to sleep.

Lian Xiaomin had slept for more than five hours. She sat under a big tree, squinting her eyes and resting.

Sun Xuefeng walked around and observed the nearby situation. When he walked a little further, he actually found a small river. He came back and fetched water with a bucket.

After resting for about six o'clock, everyone felt that they had finally recovered from their fatigue. It had not been easy after such a night of running around, and they could barely hold on.

Asan and Ake still insisted on helping their cousin cook. These two were good kids, but it was a pity that they had a father who was a bad father.

Now that my surname has been changed, I will be a member of the Pei family from now on.

Lian Xiaomin was also helping, still cooking noodles. This time, she took advantage of Pei Ziqiu's inattention and put a tonic pill from the space into the pot. It was a small pill, only the size of a soybean.

She felt that these people had suffered too much loss and needed to be compensated. She had finally rescued them and when she returned to Hong Kong, she hoped that these business geniuses would help her build a career.

The body is the capital of revolution.
