Of course, that's how they comforted themselves.
After finishing the noodles, Chen Feng surprisingly drank the soup completely. Normally, at home, anyone who drinks this stuff would have thrown it away long ago.
Fearing the box would dry and be difficult to clean, Chen Feng poured some water into a bucket and cleaned the box.
Of course, water is very precious now, so Chen Feng didn't dare to pour too much.
After finishing, he sat comfortably by the fire and lit a cigarette.
After a while, their rice was cooked. When they opened the lid, the fragrant aroma of rice wafted out, and Zheng Ping felt a little regretful upon smelling the fragrance.
I'm going to cook rice for myself tomorrow. Even if I can't have instant noodles, cooking some rice would be great.
They poured chili sauce into their lunchboxes, added some pickled vegetables and green onions, and started eating.
Although it was a bit bland, being able to eat hot rice outdoors was enough.
After a long day, everyone was sticky and covered in dust on their faces and hands. But because water was so precious, all they could do was wet their towels and wipe themselves dry.
"Hey, have one." Zheng Ping took out a cigarette and handed it to Yin Xing.
Yin Xing almost choked on the smoke and waved his hands repeatedly.
"No, no, you can have it. I smoked all the cigarettes I needed for the day when I got lost."
Everyone laughed upon hearing this, thinking that it would be great if this could motivate them to quit smoking.
Everyone sat around the campfire chatting and enjoying this rare moment of tranquility.
Around 11 p.m., the campfire gradually died down, and no one added more firewood.
When only a few embers remained, Zheng Ping threw stones into the fire to extinguish it. Everyone then got into the car and prepared to sleep.
After getting into the car, Chen Feng yawned. If only there were a bed available right now.
Sitting down in his seat next to Zheng Ping, Chen Feng pulled a jacket from the pocket at his feet and draped it over his shoulders, preparing to go to sleep.
Huang Fei wasn't that sleepy right now, so he read some e-books on his phone.
They only have one way to charge their devices: Huang Fei's car charger.
So they avoid playing it unless absolutely necessary, as charging it is too much trouble.
Two people even brought blankets, so they simply spread them out in the aisle and lay down, which was at least less tiring than sitting.
The best position is Huang Fei's. He can adjust the seat back and recline in the driver's seat, which is not as hard as the ground.
Chen Feng took a clean towel, placed it by the window, and rested his head against the window, preparing to sleep there.
He initially thought that although the conditions were a bit tough, it was still acceptable.
Little did he know that the nightmare was yet to come.
The car was full of grown men whose feet had been covered in shoes all day. They finally got to sleep at night, so they took off their shoes to relax.
There wasn't enough water, so there was no way to wash my feet, no matter how hot it was.
Seven or eight grown men took off their shoes, and the windows couldn't be opened because it was cool at night; you can imagine the smell...
Chen Feng leaned against the window and sniffed, immediately smelling an indescribable odor, and his face immediately scrunched up.
"My God, did you go mining or scrambling sauerkraut?" Chen Feng couldn't believe it and frowned, fanning himself with his hand.
Although his feet smelled, they weren't to the point where their socks and shoes would practically smoke when they took them off.
Chen Feng initially intended to bear it, but the smell grew stronger and stronger, and he couldn't stand it any longer, so he opened the window a crack.
With the fresh air in, Chen Feng felt a little better, much better than before, and not to the point where he would vomit in a little while.
He pressed himself against the window, closed his eyes, and prepared to endure it, thinking he wouldn't be able to smell it if he fell asleep.
But before he could fall asleep, snoring began to fill the carriage.
After a long day, everyone was exhausted and fell asleep within minutes.
The snoring was deafening, and Chen Feng's face was now masked with pain.
My nose was filled with that sour, foul smell, and my ears were still suffering.
Who could possibly fall asleep under these conditions?
"Huff... ratt ...
"Huff... ratt ...
Chen Feng was on the verge of collapse as he listened to the new voice coming from inside.
Who the hell got on a plane again?!
Chen Feng closed his eyes tightly, clenched his fists slightly, and looked utterly helpless.
I leaned against the window, trying my best not to hear the noises, hoping to fall asleep quickly.
"Don't move, that's mine, I saw it first..."
"Beep beep beep beep beep beep beep..."
"Crunch... crunch..."
Farting, teeth grinding, snoring, and even sleep talking—they're all ganging up on Chen Feng, giving him a real hard time.
"Hehehe... Such a big piece of gold... how much would it sell for..."
"Beep beep beep beep beep beep..."
Chen Feng was so desperate that he found a piece of paper and stuffed it into his ears.
Actually, blocking it doesn't really help; you can still hear it anyway, but reducing it a little bit is better than nothing.
To be honest, perhaps he was slowly getting used to it, Chen Feng's eyelids were drooping, and he entered a half-asleep, half-awake state.
Just as he was drifting off to sleep, he suddenly felt a hand appear on his chest.
This startled Chen Feng, who opened his eyes to find Zheng Ping standing next to him.
The kid didn't even open his eyes; it was all an unconscious action. He was even groping around on Chen Feng's chest, as if he was looking for something.
"Wife, don't lie face down, turn around..."
Zheng Ping murmured.
Chen Feng stared at Zheng Ping speechlessly, feeling utterly devastated.
He thought Zheng Ping was the only good person on the bus, but he didn't expect that Zheng Ping was the most annoying one.
"Zheng Ping, I never expected you to be such a womanizer with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, who looks so honest."
Chen Feng shook off his hand in annoyance and leaned against the window, fuming.
I was just about to fall asleep when he woke me up again, damn it.
Just as he closed his eyes, the hand reached out again, this time even reaching under Chen Feng's clothes, trying to get to him in one go.
"Go to hell, that's too much!" Chen Feng said helplessly as he pulled Zheng Ping's hand away.
You can't even do it through clothes, you have to put your hand inside, right?
Zheng Ping forcefully shook off the hand, then turned over, hugged his shoulders, and fell asleep with his back to Chen Feng.
Chen Feng sighed helplessly, leaned against the window, and closed his eyes.
At that moment, he had only one thought in his mind, and he even swore a solemn oath.
The first thing I'll do when I get back is buy a car, no questions asked!
If I were to go out on the same bus with them again, I'd be a dog!
Having made up his mind, Chen Feng finally succumbed to sleepiness and fell asleep by the window.
Around 7 a.m. the next day, people started waking up one after another, getting off the bus to use the restroom, and this movement woke up even more people.
It was already broad daylight, and they had to get up and get to work.
Yin Xing got out of the stuffy car and went to the restroom. The fresh, crisp morning air made him take a deep breath.
"Comfortable."
Yin Xing stretched and prepared to go back to the car and stay there a while longer before getting up with them.
