Su Nian had already slept for a while on the plane. She was young and energetic. "I'm fine, brother. How long will it take to get to Lucheng?"
Han Qing wrapped himself in his down jacket. Lucheng is a mountain town. It's the coldest time of the year now, and the cold wind can make people shiver. "We still have half an hour to go!"
It was probably impossible to sleep with such a short distance. Su Nian looked out curiously. The business car drove out of the airport and into the pitch-black night. Su Nian could not see anything.
"Lucheng is a hundred kilometers away from Laowan Township, but that's just the distance on the map. The actual distance is all mountain roads," the guide who was in charge of receiving Han Qing began to explain. "You can't get there in less than a day!"
Han Qing smiled and said, "Then let's arrange Laowan Township for the last day and go to Lucheng Prison first!"
Han Qing was very low-key on this trip. The guide only knew that the people he was responsible for receiving were coming from the capital. When he actually met them, he found that they were several handsome men and beautiful women. These people had eye-catching appearances, spoke casually, and were easy to get along with. The guide was also willing to talk to them more.
"Mr. Han, the prison is now locked. No one outside can get in, and no one inside can get out! You have to wait patiently. You can only visit after 8 o'clock tomorrow morning!"
Han Qing looked at his watch. The hands pointed to two o'clock. There were still six hours until dawn. "Okay then, get up at seven o'clock tomorrow morning to eat, and leave for the prison at 7:30!"
The guide immediately agreed, "I'll wait for you at the restaurant tomorrow morning!"
The car drove into the Lucheng County Guesthouse. Lucheng is a poor county and the conditions in the county guesthouse are not good. The room is as cold as an ice cellar and the radiator is just a decoration. There is an iron stove in the middle of the room and a long chimney running through a hole in the wall.
The guide rubbed his hands in embarrassment. "The conditions are very simple. There's no heating in the county, so the guesthouse had to put a stove in each room. Please work hard and light a stove yourself, and the room will be warm!"
Han Qing waved his hand: "Okay, go back and rest first, remember to come tomorrow morning!"
When Su Nian was in Laowan Township, she dealt with iron stoves and wood stoves a lot, and was an expert at lighting stoves. She quickly lit the stove in her room and then knocked on Chu Beichen's door.
Sure enough, Chu Beichen, who had been living a life of luxury since childhood, would not make such a primitive and simple iron stove. There was black ash on his face and he looked flustered.
"I thought you knew everything!" Su Nian mocked Chu Beichen unceremoniously, and deftly shoveled out the old slag. Then he put the red-hot coal in and pressed some fine coal slag on top. "Burn it first, and I'll add more coal for you later. Now go help my brother light the stove!"
Chu Beichen scratched his head embarrassedly, "You've outdone all of us!"
"It's just the pressure of life," Su Nian pointed outside, "This place is really too cold. If we don't light a fire, we will definitely freeze to death!"
The image of the small house where Su Nian lived flashed before Chu Beichen's eyes again. Thinking of the suffering Su Nian had endured, Chu Beichen hated the Su family even more!
Han Qing must not have slept, because from outside his room, he could hear the mess inside. When he knocked on the door, he saw Han Qing and his men huddled over the stove, working in a mess. There was not even a spark in the furnace.
The only ones who received special treatment in the guesthouse were Jenny and his bodyguards. The waiter came out of his warm bed and helped them light a fire because they were foreigners.
