After all this trouble, the trip to City A was completely delayed.
After Zhou Qian finished his work, he called the other party to explain why he didn't go today, but the other party's number was no longer in service.
Zhou Qian stared at her phone for a moment, stunned. How could it be an invalid number? She had clearly saved the number!
She immediately called the police officer in charge of the incident, but learned an unexpected news from the police.
"Ms. Zhou, the deceased's relatives have said that the deceased has been laid to rest and the compensation has been paid. You don't need to blame yourself too much and just let it go."
"You should understand their feelings. At this time, as relatives of the deceased, they probably don't want to see you."
After all, he died because of her.
Zhou Qian felt indescribably sad and replied tearfully, "I understand."
If her loved one died because of someone, she wouldn't want to see that person either.
"You should be more open-minded. No one wants this kind of thing to happen."
Zhou Qian took a deep breath, and his chest felt less stuffy. "Officer Li, could you please transfer some money to them for me? Just a small token of my appreciation."
"Since the deceased has no immediate family, his collateral relatives have decided to donate all the compensation money to the local welfare home in the name of the deceased. If you want compensation, you can donate it directly to their local welfare home."
"Okay, thank you."
The next day, Zhou Qian looked up the donation method for the local welfare home, learned the name of her rescuer from the police, and then donated money in that person's name.
The dead cannot be resurrected, but the living must move forward.
…
On this day, Zhou Qian finally got the chance to travel with Hang Peng, which made her feel depressed for several days and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
On the way, Hang Peng introduced to her the scenic spots they were going to visit, which places were suitable for taking photos, which places were suitable for eating, drinking and having fun, and whether they planned to camp or stay in a B&B.
Zhou Qian rarely had the chance to go out and play, so he listened very carefully to avoid making a fool of himself.
When she heard about camping and B&B, she decisively suggested that B&B was better.
Hang Peng objectively said, "The B&Bs there might not be that good, and they're not cheap. People prefer camping, and you can watch the sunrise."
"Oh, so that's it..." Zhou Qian was embarrassed.
If everyone agrees, she can't stay in a B&B alone, as that would make her seem unsociable and affect everyone's interest in the trip.
"Did you forget to bring your tent?" Hang Peng guessed what she was thinking.
Zhou Qian smiled awkwardly, "I didn't know we were going to camp, so I didn't prepare anything."
"It's okay, I brought it."
Zhou Qian didn't feel comfortable asking whether he brought one or two, so he decided to wait and see.
After a three-hour drive, a group of people met at the foot of Qingluan Mountain. There were five people in their team, three girls and two boys.
However, one of the girls called a few of her friends, saying that it would be more lively with more people, and no one said anything.
A few people waited for the rest of the group to meet up at the foot of the mountain. Zhou Qian got out of the car to move around and went to the bathroom.
When she came back from the bathroom, she saw that there were obviously two more cars next to their convoy, and several people were gathered together talking.
Zhou Qian walked over and heard someone suggest not to drive so many cars in, so as to avoid having trouble finding parking spaces.
After everyone agreed, they discussed whose car to drive.
Since Hang Peng was driving an ordinary car, which was not suitable for driving into the mountains, Zhou Qian and Hang Peng had to ride in other people's cars.
Hang Peng was called by his brother to get in his car, but there was only one seat in his car and Hang Peng didn't want to leave Zhou Qian behind.
"There is an empty seat in our car. Why don't you, Zhou Qian, take our car?" The girl who spoke was called Yu Fei.
Zhou Qian didn't want to refuse the other person, so he readily agreed.
Hang Peng was worried that Zhou Qian would be embarrassed, so he came over and said to her, "If you don't want to go over, I'll ask them to move seats so we can sit together."
"No need. It doesn't matter whose car I take."
"Then we'll meet in the mountains later."
"Yeah." Zhou Qian nodded, and then walked towards the cool black Wrangler not far away.
"Are you carsick?" Yu Fei handed Zhou Qian a bottle of water. "The mountain road will be very shaky later. If you are carsick, it's best to sit in the front."
Zhou Qian does get carsick, so he didn't hesitate. "Okay, thank you."
She walked around to the passenger seat, opened the door, and just as she stepped in with one foot and looked up, Zhou Qian suddenly stopped and her face became uglier and uglier.
"Zhou Qian, come up quickly." Yu Fei called her when she saw that she didn't move for a long time.
"I'd better change the car." Zhou Qian turned and left.
On the other side, Hang Peng saw that Zhou Qian did not get in the car and his face seemed not to be very good, so he also got out of the car.
"What's wrong?" Hang Peng asked with concern.
Zhou Qian's face remained grim, and she even wanted to go home directly. However, considering that Hang Peng had made an appointment with everyone for such a long time, if he gave up halfway because of her, everyone would be disappointed.
"I want to change my car."
Although Hang Peng didn't know what was going on, he agreed without thinking, "I'll switch with you."
In fact, Zhou Qian didn't want Hang Peng to take that car, but everyone else had already gotten on, and she didn't want to ask them to switch.
The two men changed cars, and the Wrangler rushed out first. Zhou Qian looked at the car rushing out and frowned slightly.
Soon, the tank she was riding in followed suit.
They all drove professional off-road vehicles, so climbing the mountain road was not difficult, but it was bumpy all the way, which made people feel uncomfortable.
After walking for less than twenty minutes, Zhou Qian felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach.
But now she was more worried about Hang Peng's situation, because his car rushed forward regardless of life and death, and now it had disappeared.
Driving so fast on such a difficult mountain road, are their internal organs okay?
Zhou Qian took out her phone and sent a message to Hang Peng, [Are you okay?]
Hang Peng just sent back a 'painful' emoticon.
Zhou Qian knew that he must be feeling uncomfortable. They were driving so slowly and deliberately avoiding potholes, but she felt so uncomfortable, let alone they were driving so fast.
After a while, Hang Peng sent another message.
Do you think he did it on purpose?
A sinister emoticon was added at the end.
